Chapter 4

"Who are you?"

Since he didn't recognize the person in front of him, it was natural to ask for their name. For Xiaolongnü, this was a simple understanding.

"......"

Yue Yuan looked down at Xiaolongnü, who was lying in the rose bushes at his feet, with a strange expression. The feeling in his heart was truly bizarre. Although he had asked a question, it wasn't necessary for her to be lying down... But the problem was that the current situation was exactly like this.

Pursing his lips, Yue Yuan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, met Xiaolongnü's gaze, and began to introduce himself, saying, "My surname is Yue, and my name is Yuan, as in the 'Yue' of mountain and the 'Yuan' of fate... As for tonight, I just happened to pass by here and saw you lying here, with a white handkerchief covering your face, and a fainted Taoist beside you. I was curious, so I lifted the handkerchief off your face..."

At this point, Yue Yuan's voice paused slightly, and he turned to glance at the still unconscious Yin Zhiping beside him. Then he continued, "I didn't disturb you just now..."

His tone paused.

Yue Yuan wished he could slap himself. How could he have said that?

Feeling a bit awkward, he glanced at Xiaolongnü lying in front of him and immediately changed the subject, asking, "May I ask who you are?"

Taoist?

Xiaolongnü's gaze was somewhat strange as she looked up and down at Yue Yuan. She thought to herself, "You're dressed like a Taoist too..." However, she had never seen a Taoist dressed like this. Even the Quanzhen Sect's Taoists didn't look like this.

One could say that Xiaolongnü was full of suspicion about Yue Yuan.

"...... Hey? Your gaze is really annoying!"

Faced with Xiaolongnü's gaze, Yue Yuan was displeased and immediately turned around, grabbed the unconscious Yin Zhiping, and dragged him to her, saying, "Here, this is the Taoist!"

"Huh?!"

Xiaolongnü's gaze sharpened, and she stared at Yin Zhiping for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly. Clearly, she was thinking of something. Her expression immediately turned cold, and the already cold Xiaolongnü became even colder.

Xiaolongnü naturally recognized Yin Zhiping.

"Exactly!"

Seeing Xiaolongnü's expression change, Yue Yuan knew that she had guessed the truth. Although Xiaolongnü was as cold and aloof as a fairy, rarely spoke, and seldom left the ancient tomb, it didn't mean she was foolish and didn't understand the implications.

"Just as I was passing by, I happened to see this guy covering your face with a white handkerchief!"

Yue Yuan's expression was very serious and righteous as he said, "I was naturally angry when I saw this. I slapped him unconscious and then removed the handkerchief from your face. This guy is truly disgracing his family!" After saying this, Yue Yuan casually threw the unconscious Yin Zhiping to the side.

Although Yin Zhiping had been knocked unconscious by his sudden fall, it was still a victory for Yue Yuan.

Although it was his first time stepping into the legendary world of martial arts, he had dealt with the hated Yin Zhiping, saving the moment when the goddess lost her chastity, which was a feat worth mentioning.

However...

The consequences of doing good might not be satisfactory.

"......"

After a long silence, Xiaolongnü, who had already made a decision, looked at Yue Yuan again and said, "Xiaolongnü thanks you. Also... please, Daoist Yue, could you unblock my acupoints!"

Daoist Yue?

Yue Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then he understood. He looked down at his own attire, which was a splendid Taoist robe, and touched the Taoist hat on his head. The only thing missing was a duster, and his Taoist equipment would be complete.

"Ha ha..."

Yue Yuan was somewhat amused and frustrated. Although he had prepared in advance, he had ultimately chosen this outfit. This was the Pure Yang Sect's attire from a martial arts game, naturally a Taoist outfit.

The reason Yue Yuan chose this outfit was that the others were not suitable. He would not choose the monk or the beggar, and the Tang Sect's clothes were too dark. As for the Five Poisons and the Ming Sect, which were completely foreign, they were also unsuitable in the world of "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

In the end, Yue Yuan chose the Pure Yang Sect's Taoist attire.

In the world of martial arts, Taoists generally had great prestige and were considered orthodox, so Yue Yuan chose the Taoist attire to make it easier to move around in the world of martial arts.

When he first arrived, Yue Yuan was so focused on observing Xiaolongnü and talking to her that he temporarily forgot he was a Taoist. At this moment, he finally understood why Xiaolongnü had that expression when he mentioned a Taoist covering her face with a handkerchief.

The reason was simple: it was like a thief shouting "catch the thief"!

"Unblock the acupoints?"

Yue Yuan repeated Xiaolongnü's words. Seeing her nod, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Could you... could you tell me where to unblock the acupoints first?" As he said this, Yue Yuan felt his face was as red as a cooked crab, feeling extremely awkward.

Damn, my image!

Although his face was red, Yue Yuan's skin was thick enough, having been through a lot of training.

"Ah?!"

Xiaolongnü was stunned.

Just now, this Daoist Yue had said he knocked out Yin Zhiping with two strikes. Why did he look so clueless when it came to unblocking her acupoints? From his appearance, he seemed to be completely inexperienced in martial arts.

After a long pause.

Xiaolongnü asked in a cold tone, "Do you know martial arts, Daoist Yue?"

She was now even more skeptical about his earlier explanation.

"Yes, I do!"

To Xiaolongnü's surprise, Yue Yuan gave a definite answer and explained, "But unblocking acupoints is my first time out of the mountains! It's my first time, so I'm a bit nervous!"

"......"

After a long silence, Xiaolongnü was somewhat worried about her "Guo'er." After some thought, she told Yue Yuan which acupoints needed to be unblocked.

"Ah? This acupoint..."

Hearing Xiaolongnü's answer, Yue Yuan hesitated again. Meeting her expectant gaze, he waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Xiaolongnü, please wait a moment!" Then, he lowered his head and fumbled in his clothes, finally pulling out a folded piece of paper from his chest.

Then, Yue Yuan unfolded the paper under the moonlight. What appeared in Xiaolongnü's sight was a peculiar human figure with many densely written points. This was a modern acupuncture chart.

Laying the acupuncture chart on the rose bushes, Yue Yuan then took out a small flashlight from his pocket, turned it on, and began to search for the acupoint, muttering, "Where is this acupoint? Let me find it!"

"......"

Seeing this, Xiaolongnü, who had been lying in the flower bed in a state that required her to undress, froze. Especially when she heard his muttering, she felt more helpless than facing the mad Western Venom, Ou Yangfeng. She was completely speechless.

The events of tonight...

The strange Taoist, the strange items.

Everything was so unexpected!

This was Xiaolongnü's final thought.
