Chapter 49 Leaving the Mountain Villa

  "Let... me... go..." Mother Yan struggled desperately, her legs kicking wildly and her hands constantly pushing Wu Ming's arm.

  At the moment of pushing and shoving, Yan's mother unconsciously used her inner strength, while Wu Ming's Chunyang Rongxue Gong had already reached the point of automatic operation after years of cultivation, and instantly absorbed all the inner strength.

  At this time, Duan Yu rushed into the house a step late, saw Wu Ming, and remembered the promise he had made to him before. However, he couldn't help but have some unwholesome thoughts about Wang Yuyan, his face turned red, and he stammered: "Brother Wu, when did you come out? Madam said earlier that you were in the Crystal Jade Cave, neglecting sleep and food to study martial arts classics."

  Wu Ming smiled faintly and said, "Don't mention those things for now, quickly untie the ropes binding A Zhu and A Bi."

  He deliberately didn't mention Wang Yu Yan, Wu Ming was naturally intentional, Wang Yu Yan was a noble lady, she must have had a sense of superiority in her heart, and he deliberately ignored her existence, which would only attract more attention from her.

  Duan Yu hastily nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go now." As he took a step forward, Duan Yu initially wanted to walk towards Wang Yuyan, but seemed to have thought of something else, so he stumbled and walked towards Ah Bi instead.

  As Yan's mother pushed and pulled, Wu Ming felt her strength getting smaller and smaller, and her movements becoming more and more powerless.

  "This time I'll spare your life, but if I see you harming people again next time, I will surely kill you without mercy."

  Although Wu Ming had thought of directly strangling her to death, after all, in front of three girls, doing so would be too cruel. So he waited until the other party's internal energy was completely drained, then let go and threw her to the ground.

  "Cough...cough..." Yan's mother was completely drained of energy, collapsing to the ground, coughing weakly and continuously, her face deathly pale with not a hint of blood color.

  "Wu brother, come and help me quickly, I just can't open this steel buckle." Duan Yu was originally a bookworm, although he had occasionally gained strange experiences, practiced the North Ming Divine Art, Lingbo Micro-step and Six Pulse Divine Sword, but he didn't know how to use them. Moreover, the mechanism of this steel buckle was very ingenious, and in his anxious state, he simply couldn't open it at all.

  "Duan brother, don't worry, I'll be right there." Wu Ming smiled lightly and quickly walked to Abi's side. He activated his internal energy, grabbed the steel ring at Abi's waist with both hands, and pulled hard. The iron ring was actually broken into two pieces, leaving the three women staring in shock. How much strength did it take to achieve this? They were even more impressed by Wu Ming's kung fu skills.

  Duan Yu sighed inwardly, thinking that Wu brother's martial arts skills were so impressive, and his appearance was not inferior to his own. He couldn't even compare to him, let alone the goddess sister's ideal brother. Forget it, he thought, I'll just withdraw and let them two compete...

  As he thought about it, Duan Yu only felt his heart aching more and more, as if the whole person was stunned, standing stupidly on one side, motionless.

  "Abi sister, are you okay?" Wu Ming smiled slightly and took the opportunity to untie the rope on Abi's hands.

  Abi was overjoyed and hastily bowed to say: "Thank you, Master Wu, fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise Ah Zhu sister and I would have been miserable."

  Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Ah Bi sister, don't be so polite. You and I knowing each other is fate, friends helping each other out is what should be done. In the future, maybe there will be more times when I'll trouble you."

  As they spoke, Wu Ming had already walked to Azhu's side, first removing the hemp walnut from Azhu's mouth, then breaking off the steel ring at Azhu's waist and untying the rope, smoothly releasing her.

  A Zhu glanced at her tied-up arm, looked at Wu Ming with a grateful gaze, and said: "Wu Gongzi, you quickly go and put Miss down too."

  "Wu Ming nodded and said: 'Alright, I'll go right away.'"

  As he approached Wang Yu Yan, Wu Ming felt a small thrill of excitement in his heart, but when their eyes met, he saw a hint of disgust in hers.

  Wu Ming felt a bit strange. Even if he had deliberately slowed down and made the young lady unhappy, it should have been resentment rather than disgust.

  Although he felt strange in his heart, Wu Ming did not show it and smoothly put down Wang Yu Yan who was trapped on the iron pillar.

  After Wang Yu Yan escaped, she first looked at Yan's mother who was lying on the ground, then glared at Wu Ming and said disdainfully: "How did you learn to use the Great Tao of Transformation? What is the point of learning such a despicable and inferior skill?"

  Martial arts are neither good nor evil; it's all about how they're used. If used well, they're good; if used poorly, they're bad.

  Wu Ming shook his head with a smile and replied, "Miss Wang, you misunderstood. This is not the Devil's Cultivation Method, but the Spring Sun Melting Snow Technique. The two are as different as good and evil, and cannot be mentioned on the same day."

  Wang Yuyan believed it instantly, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Wu Gongzi, it seems I'm ignorant. The martial arts world actually has such a rare skill as Chunyang Rongxue. It's truly that the world is vast and there's nothing strange about it. In the future, I'll definitely ask for your guidance."

  "Alright, alright, Miss Wang has overpraised me." The beauty took the initiative to ask for guidance, and Wu Ming was more than happy to oblige.

  While the two were talking, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi had already tied up Yan's mother, who was lying on the ground, to an undamaged iron pillar, and even stuffed her mouth with a walnut.

  "Azhu said: 'Hmph, you wicked old woman, let's see how you like being tied up for a change.'"

  Wu Ming saw this and laughed: "Using his own method to deal with him, Ah Zhu sister, you've done a good job. This is completely in line with the style of your family's young master."

  A Zhu's heart was delighted, but she scolded with her mouth: "Young Master Wu, don't joke with me, I'm just a maid, how dare I be mentioned in the same breath as my master?"

  At this time, Abi said: "A Zhu sister, let's go quickly, if we are found by Auntie later, it will be terrible."

  Wu Ming secretly shook his head in his heart. This Wang family's wife had been caught by herself long ago, and no one would come over for a short time. However, Wu Ming didn't want to point it out, so he nodded immediately: "Sister Abi is right, we'd better leave quickly."

  "Azhu nodded immediately and said: 'Good, let's hurry up. By the way, miss, are you going with us?'"

  Wang Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and said: "Fine... then I'll go with you, and take the opportunity to see your young master."

  Wu Ming sighed inwardly, and indeed Wang Yu Yan's heart was thinking of Murong Fu. Unfortunately, that Murong Fu had his mind set on restoring the country, seemingly completely forgetting about the beautiful and unparalleled cousin by his side, serving him right for having no good fortune.

  "Azhu was delighted: 'If Miss can go with us, that would be even better.'"

  The five of them quickly left the stone house, closed the door and quietly approached the lake.

  Everything went very smoothly, and they didn't encounter any of the village's guards or maids. The five of them quickly boarded Ah Zhu and Ah Bi's original small boat and rowed towards the middle of the lake.

  In order to leave quickly, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi started rowing hard, and even Duan Yu helped out on the side.

  Wang Yu Yan was a lady and wouldn't take action herself, while Wu Ming didn't intervene because he understood the situation clearly. Madame Wang was too busy to chase after them, so she didn't interfere either.

  "Wu Gongzi, may I ask you some questions about martial arts?" Although Wang Yuyan had never studied martial arts, she was familiar with the various secret techniques in the martial arts world. However, this sudden appearance of Wu Ming left her somewhat perplexed. The moves he had just made were completely unrecognizable to her, which piqued her curiosity.

  "Miss Wang, it's all right to ask." Wu Ming smiled slightly, although he was very excited in his heart, but his face didn't show it, and he remained calm.

  Wang Yu Yan smiled and said: "Alright, I'll ask then. What was that skill you used earlier to suddenly appear from afar and grab Mama Yan?"

  Wu Ming smiled and replied: "This is called Ling Kong She Wu Zhang."

  "The name 'Ling Kong She Wu Zhang' is indeed very fitting." Wang Yu Yan exclaimed, and immediately asked: "Then which school of martial arts does this technique belong to?"

  "This Ling Kong She Wu Palm is not from the Heavenly Dragon Eight Parts, and even if Wu Ming wanted to explain it, he might not be able to make it clear. So Wu Ming made something up: 'This Ling Kong She Wu Palm is a skill of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and I am a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect.'"

  "Gu Mu Pai? Why have I never heard of it?" Wang Yu Yan was even more surprised.

  Wu Ming continued to improvise, half-truthfully saying: "The people of the Ancient Tomb Sect have always lived deep within the ancient tombs and rarely allow outsiders to enter. The people of the world have never heard of it, so there's nothing unusual about that."

  Wang Yuyan said: "Since the people of the ancient tomb sect are not allowed to go out into the world, why did you come out again?"

  Wu Ming smiled faintly and said, "I can come out, naturally it is to obey the order of the leader of the ancient tomb sect." But soon thought that Little Dragon Girl was still trapped in the deep underground of the ancient tomb, his heart felt extremely distressed.

  Wang Yuyan said, "So that's how it is. Then can you tell me again what other moves the Ancient Tomb Sect has? Of course, if it's not convenient to reveal, then let's just forget I asked."

  Wu Ming shook his head and smiled, "No problem, apart from the Ling Kong She Wu Zhang, our ancient tomb sect also has a very elegant sword technique called Yu Nu Jian Fa. I had previously used this sword technique to defeat eighteen green-robed maids from your manor."

  "Jade Maiden Sword Art? Just hearing the name gives one a sense of elegance and uniqueness, yet you were able to use this sword art to defeat eighteen handmaidens under my mother's command, truly showing the greatness of Jade Maiden Sword Art."

  ……

  As the two of them chatted in hushed tones, the sky grew darker and the mist on the lake thickened. Ah Zhu suddenly said: "Miss, this place is closer to my servant's residence, so tonight you can stay here temporarily, and tomorrow we'll discuss how to find Young Master, what do you think?"

  Wang Yu Yan nodded and said: "This is very good."
