Chapter 16

Kumārājīva brought Duan Yu ashore and explained his intentions. After Azhu disguised herself, she welcomed the two to the main hall.

"Little monk has come from afar, and I hope the old lady can take us to Mr. Murong Bo's grave. I want to burn this living sword manual in front of him and fulfill the vow of old times," Kumārājīva said, looking at Azhu.

Azhu smiled and said, "It's already late in the day, and Mr. Murong's grave is quite a distance away. I think we should go tomorrow. Cough, cough."

Azhu returned to her room and said to Wang Yuyan, "Miss, this foreign monk actually wants to kill that young gentleman. How cruel. I don't think this monk is a good person."

Wang Yuyan and Azhu came out and happened to meet Duan Yu.

Duan Yu looked at Wang Yuyan in shock, "Fairy Sister."

...

Aibi walked towards the lake after leaving the Suzhou Martial Arts Hall.

Three years ago, Aibi had promised Wang Yuyan that she would visit her often, but she had traveled with Wang Yue across the south and north of the Yangtze River and had not seen Azhu and Wang Yuyan for three years.

"I wonder how Miss and Sister Azhu are doing."

Aibi smiled and thought to herself.

Suddenly, a small boat appeared on the lake, with three figures sitting on it.

"You can't run away. How dare you ambush me, you scoundrels." Kumārājīva, unable to row, could only use his lightness skill to chase after them.

But Azhu had grown up by the lake and was an expert at rowing. The boat moved very fast, and with the help of Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, they managed to keep ahead of Kumārājīva.

"This big monk is really despicable. It's a pity I can't beat him, or I would make him pay. Hmph." Duan Yu was also angry. Kumārājīva was like a stubborn plaster, sticking to them and not letting go.

"Fairy Sister, don't worry. As long as I, Duan Yu, am here, even if I die, I won't let this despicable foreign monk harm you." Duan Yu, after seeing Wang Yuyan, was captivated by her beauty and began to pursue her fervently.

Wang Yuyan frowned slightly, "Take care of yourself first. And don't call me Fairy Sister."

Duan Yu smiled, "Alright, alright, I'll call you Miss Wang from now on."

Azhu looked back at Kumārājīva and said, "This foreign monk's martial arts are not bad, but he is still far from the young master. If he had the young master's lightness skill, we wouldn't be able to escape."

"We're almost to shore," Duan Yu said loudly.

"Miss, Sister Azhu." Aibi's voice came from the shore.

After the three got ashore, Azhu said urgently, "Aibi, it's you. Let's go quickly. Once we're on shore, we won't be able to get rid of this foreign monk."

Aibi was also puzzled, "Who is this monk? How dare he come to Swallow Wharf? Didn't Young Master Murong teach him a lesson?"

Wang Yuyan also said, "Aibi, let's go quickly. He's taking advantage of my cousin's absence to cause trouble. Otherwise, he would have a hard time."

Aibi smiled, "We can't run away. He's here."

Aibi was already a first-class martial artist. Although her skills were not as good as Kumārājīva's, she could still escape from him. But Wang Yuyan and Azhu couldn't.

After Kumārājīva got ashore, he said angrily, "Now I want to see where you can run. Duan Yu, I suggest you write down the Six Pulse Sword Manual obediently to avoid suffering. And you two little girls, you dared to trick and ambush me. Today, I will give you a lesson."

Kumārājīva, a top expert in the martial world, had been tricked by two little girls. How could he not be angry?

Duan Yu's face changed slightly, and he said loudly, "Kumārājīva, don't be unreasonable. Miss Wang's cousin is the famous Southern Murong. If you dare to mistreat us, Young Master Murong will not let you off."

Kumārājīva sneered, "Little monk is not afraid of your threats."

Aibi stepped forward and blocked the three, "Big monk, this is the heartland of China, not a small foreign country. I don't know what you want from Miss and Azhu, but I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, you will regret it."

Kumārājīva looked at Aibi and sneered, "Little girl, you have a big mouth. Today, none of you will leave."

At first, Kumārājīva only wanted to get the Six Pulse Sword Manual and visit the Water Pavilion to see the martial arts secrets. But when he learned that Wang Yuyan knew many martial arts secrets, he decided to take her back to Tibet.

In Kumārājīva's eyes, Wang Yuyan was a living treasure trove of martial arts. How could he not be tempted?

Aibi sneered, "Big monk, I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

Aibi turned to Wang Yuyan, Azhu, and Duan Yu and said, "You go first, to the Suzhou Martial Arts Hall. Once you get there, this big monk won't dare to cause trouble."

The Martial Arts Hall had three dark force martial artists, even Qiao Feng could be resisted.

Wang Yuyan knew Aibi was skilled in martial arts and nodded, "Aibi, be careful. This foreign monk is very powerful. If you can't handle him, retreat quickly. Azhu, Young Master Duan, let's go."

Duan Yu shook his head, "How can we leave Aibi alone? That's not what a man should do."

Wang Yuyan said calmly, "Hurry up, Aibi is stronger than you."

Kumārājīva wanted to catch Wang Yuyan and the others, but Aibi slipped in front of him again.

"Big monk, your opponent is me now. After you beat me, you can chase after Miss and Sister Azhu. Hehe."

Kumārājīva's eyes flashed with cold light, "Little girl, you don't know your place. It seems you are also a martial artist. Since that's the case, let's see what you're made of."

Kumārājīva's palm turned red, and a scorching blade of energy slashed towards Aibi.

This was Kumārājīva's ultimate skill, the Flame Blade.

Aibi moved gracefully, avoiding the Flame Blade. The blade left a two-foot-deep mark on the ground behind her.

"This blade is so sharp."

Aibi now realized how powerful this big monk was and no longer underestimated him.

"Ha."

Aibi shouted, and her hair stood on end as if electrified.

Seeing Aibi's hair flying and her aura increasing, Kumārājīva was startled and thought, "What martial arts is this little girl practicing? Why do I feel like I'm facing a fierce beast when I face her?"

Aibi took a step forward and punched at Kumārājīva. The hidden force on her fist was like a needle, and Kumārājīva could feel its sharpness even before the punch reached him.

"This is..." Kumārājīva's face changed slightly.

This force was not true qi but a kind of penetrating energy.

Softness concealing hardness, indeed powerful.

"Pranja Palm!"

Kumārājīva used the Shaolin Pranja Palm to block Aibi's punch.

Aibi felt her fist hit a thick, fleshy palm, and a wave-like force resisted her punch.

"You are using internal martial arts!" Kumārājīva asked loudly.

The power of internal martial arts had spread throughout the martial world.

Kumārājīva came to China not only to get the Six Pulse Sword Manual but also to seek the secrets of internal martial arts.

"I have seen an internal martial artist before, but he was not as powerful as you," Kumārājīva said, "It is said that internal martial arts are divided into manifest and hidden forces. The force you are using now is hidden force, right?"

The Martial Arts Hall had many disciples, so there were now many internal martial artists. The last time Kumārājīva encountered a manifest force martial artist.

Unfortunately, although internal martial arts were amazing, a manifest force martial artist was no match for Kumārājīva.

Aibi sneered, "Now you know. You should leave quickly. Otherwise, the experts from the Martial Arts Hall will come, and you won't be able to escape."

Kumārājīva was also worried. If a little girl was this powerful, how strong would the head of the Martial Arts Hall, Wang Yue, be?

"I should avoid this for now," Kumārājīva thought, "I will find another opportunity to get the secrets of internal martial arts. Of course, I also need the Six Pulse Sword Manual and that knowledgeable little girl."

Kumārājīva sneered, "Hmph, little girl, you got lucky today. Little monk has other matters to attend to. But I will be back."

Kumārājīva used his lightness skill and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Aibi took a deep breath and said, "This big monk's power is really strong. I am already a hidden force martial artist, but I still can't defeat him. His true qi is so thick, my arm still hurts."

Aibi and Wang Yue had traveled the martial world for years. Whenever they encountered enemies, Wang Yue would let her handle them unless they were top experts. Aibi thought she was already a skilled martial artist, but she didn't expect a random foreign monk to be more powerful than her.

"There are so many experts in this martial world. I must practice hard. If one day I become as powerful as Brother Wang Yue, I won't be afraid of anyone."

Aibi quickly returned to Suzhou.

Entering the Martial Arts Hall, Aibi found Wang Yuyan and asked, "Miss, who is that foreign monk?"

Wang Yuyan said, "He is the Tibetan national master, Kumārājīva."

"What are your plans now?" Aibi asked.

Wang Yuyan thought for a moment and said, "That foreign monk must not have gone far. If we return to Swallow Wharf, we will certainly be caught. My cousin went to investigate the murderer of Ma Dayuan. I think he will go to the headquarters of the Beggars' Gang. Let's go to the Beggars' Gang."

Aibi nodded, "That's a good idea. Brother Wang Yue is also going to the Beggars' Gang to find Chief Qiao. Let's go together. By the way, who is this young man?"

Aibi looked at Duan Yu and asked.

Duan Yu bowed and said, "I am Duan Yu, and I have met Miss Aibi. I didn't expect Miss Aibi's skills to be so powerful."

Aibi smiled, "You are also very powerful, with such thick true qi. Hehe."

Duan Yu practiced the Northern Mystic Skill, which made his true qi thick but chaotic and difficult to control. This was also why his Six Pulse Sword Manual was sometimes effective and sometimes not.

Wang Yuyan said to Duan Yu, "Young Master Duan, you should return to Dali. We are leaving."

Wang Yuyan did not want to travel with Duan Yu. If her cousin saw them, it would cause misunderstandings.

"Ah!" Duan Yu was surprised.

He wanted to go to the Beggars' Gang with Wang Yuyan. To see Fairy Sister, he was willing to die. But now Fairy Sister was asking him to leave.

What should he do?

Seeing that Aibi and Azhu were not speaking up for him, Duan Yu could only suppress his reluctance and said, "If that's the case, then alright."

Aibi smiled, "Miss, Sister Azhu, let's go to Wang Family Village and set out with Brother Wang Yue."

Wang Yuyan nodded, "Alright."

Although Wang Yuyan did not like Wang Yue and still held a grudge against him for injuring Murong Fu, traveling with such a powerful expert was undoubtedly the safest.
