Chapter 206 More Conscientious Than Ding Chunqiu
"Senior sister... is it Li Qiushui?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"That's right, Li Qiushui!"

Tianshan Child-Grandma gnashed her teeth and looked down the mountain: "She's already here."

As soon as the Child-Fairy of Tianshan finished her words, a group of more than a hundred Western Xia warriors riding horses, in an orderly formation of four in a row, came up the stone steps leading from the Shaolin Temple to the foot of the mountain like a long dragon.

Fortunately, the stone steps of Shaolin Temple were wide enough for them to pass.

In this team, there were no people who blew trumpets, beat drums and held signs when Helian Tieshu appeared in the apricot forest last time. They were all wearing armor, carrying weapons on horseback, and moving in an orderly and unified manner.

Compared to that group of people who looked like a mob, the team in front of them was more like a pure army, and looked full of solemnity and murderous aura.

At the front of the team, there were eight strong and sturdy soldiers with untied hair, carrying a sedan that looked much larger than an ordinary sedan and resembled a sedan chair. They walked towards the gate of Shaolin Temple at an extremely fast speed.

Arriving early without any unnecessary trouble, Duan Yanqing and Yue Laosan, who were standing in the crowd, waited for the eight soldiers to stop the sedan chair in front of the Shaolin Temple gate. They walked up to the sedan chair and bowed to it, saying, "We respectfully welcome the Queen to Shaoshi Mountain."

The owner of the sedan chair was silent for a long time. When the Child-Girl of Tianshan saw this, she sneered and used her profound inner strength to transmit a secret message: "A whore who betrayed her junior brother and got involved with his son, she put on quite a show."

The owner of the sedan also heard what the Tianshan Child-Father said. A very majestic female voice came from inside, and the other party also used internal force to say: "I didn't expect that Senior Sister would come too. I wanted to go to Tianshan to find you before, but who knew that you ran so fast and came to the Song Dynasty, allowing you to escape a disaster."

Tianshan Child-Grandma looked at the sedan chair and said, "During the time when I was going through the tribulation, you didn't come to see me. You must have gone to see my junior brother. It seems that my junior brother doesn't want to see you. That's right, why would my junior brother see you, a vicious woman who almost killed him."

Tianshan Tonglao's words angered the woman in the sedan chair. She changed her tone and said, "Wu Xingyun, no matter what, I have been with Junior Brother. Unlike you, who has loved Junior Brother all his life, Junior Brother has never even looked at you."

Chu Yuan, who was standing nearby, felt a little strange. After the sedan chair that looked like Li Qiushui's arrived, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan just stood there, looking at the sedan chair that Li Qiushui was riding in from afar. There seemed to be anger in her eyes, and she didn't say anything.

Chu Yuan thought for a moment, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes. He immediately used the "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" he had just learned, and indeed heard the voice of the Tianshan Child-Fairy and the woman in the sedan chair talking.

"It seems like they don't want others to hear their conversation."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

"you wanna die!"

Now, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan was enraged by Li Qiushui's words. After she shouted angrily, she suddenly slapped out a palm force. The palm force was so strong that it hit directly behind the curtain of the sedan chair from a distance of three or four feet.

"Why are you angry, Senior Sister? I was just telling the truth."

Everyone heard a pleasant yet majestic female voice from the sedan chair, and she said with a smile.

It seems that the angrier the Tianshan Tonglao is, the happier she is.

At the same time that the Child-Father of Tianshan found Chu Yuan, Li Qiushui also went to Leigushan and Dali Wuliangshan where she and Wuyazi once lived in seclusion, but she could not find the whereabouts of her junior brother Wuyazi.

Upon learning that Chu Yuan, who had a very good relationship with Wuyazi and was a close friend regardless of age difference, had come to Shaolin Temple with Qiao Feng, she immediately brought the masters of Xixia Yipintang and 3,000 Xixia troops to Shaolin Temple in the name of exchanging martial arts with the Song Dynasty martial arts world and inviting the martial arts masters of the Song Dynasty to participate in the martial arts competition for the Xixia Princess Yinchuan to marry.

These thoughts flashed through Li Qiu Shui's mind. She sat in the sedan chair, raised her bare hand, and struck out with a palm. The power of this palm was amazing, and the power was as surging as rivers, lakes, and seas.

But the strange thing was that when her palm power hit the curtain of the sedan chair, the curtain moved automatically without wind and pushed open from the edge. Then the palm power flew out and collided with the palm power that Tianshan Tonglao had just released in the air.

boom!
After a dull thud, the powerful energy swept across and quickly spread to all the martial artists watching the fight.

Many martial artists with low martial arts skills were directly knocked away by the aftermath of the palm power. After landing, blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. They were actually affected by the aftermath of the fight between Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tonglao, and were injured.

"Where did these two masters come from?"

Seeing this scene, Duan Yu's expression changed.

In the past, he thought that Murong in the South and Qiao Feng in the North were already the top masters in the martial arts world, and the strongest was the Tibetan national teacher Jiumozhi whom he had met before, who chased him to the point where he had no way to go up to the sky or down to the earth, all the way from Dali to Jiangnan. However, the sudden appearance just now of the fight between Murong Fu's father Murong Bo and his eldest brother Qiao Feng's father Xiao Yuanshan opened his eyes again.

But the two women in front of him, who started fighting without saying a few words, were slightly better at martial arts than Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo, his elder brother Qiao Feng, and the Tibetan national teacher Jiumozhi.

Ever since he practiced the "Northern Divine Art" and absorbed the internal strength of some people to master the "Lingbo Weibu" and "Six Meridians Divine Sword", he thought he was a top master in the world. But now he knows that there are always people better than you.

"They are both seniors of the Xiaoyao Sect, and they are the senior sisters of that senior Wuyazi."

Chu Yuan heard Duan Yu's words and explained to him.

"So he is a senior from the Xiaoyao Sect, no wonder."

Duan Yu suddenly realized.

Ever since he saw Wuyazi, who was nearly a hundred years old but still looked like a middle-aged man, at Leigushan last time, he no longer regarded the Xiaoyao Sect as an ordinary martial arts sect.

"Second brother, I see that your martial arts seem to have traces of the Xiaoyao Sect's 'Northern Divine Art'. Last time at Leigushan, Wuyazi gave me several martial arts secret manuals, one of which was the 'Northern Divine Art'. Perhaps the martial arts you practiced were inherited from one of them."

Chu Yuan knew that the fairy sister that Duan Yu was thinking about was Li Qiushui, and he reminded Duan Yu without leaving any trace.

Duan Yu immediately recalled the beautiful jade sculpture he had seen in the cave at Wuliang Mountain in Dali.

Duan Yu's heart was moved, and he blurted out: "Fairy Sister?"

Chu Yuan said: "Perhaps your fairy sister is the person in the sedan chair!"

"Senior Sister, I am not here to look for you today. I don't want to fight with you. I hope you don't know what's good for you."

Li Qiushui sat in the sedan chair. After easily defusing the Child-Grandma of Tianshan's palm, she said to the Child-Grandma of Tianshan in the sedan chair.

"Who is Young Master Chu Yuan Chu?"

Then Li Qiu Shui asked again.

"I'm."

Chu Yuan responded in the crowd.

"Duan Yanqing was hit by my Heart-Destroying Palm. Now his injuries have recovered. It seems that someone is healing him. I killed Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe, two of the four evil men. Senior brought so many people to Shaoshi Mountain. Could it be that you want to seek revenge on me?"

Chu Yuan looked at the sedan chair and said.

Li Qiu Shui in the sedan didn't say anything, just when Chu Yuan was confused.

The curtain of the sedan opened without wind, and a woman who looked to be about forty years old walked out. She was dressed in white, had beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and a slim and graceful figure. Her skirts fluttered in the breeze, making her look like a fairy. Her face was white as snow, and her face was covered with a piece of white silk, so her features could not be seen.

It was the Queen of Western Xia, Li Qiushui!
As soon as Li Qiu Shui got off the sedan chair, she attracted the attention of all the men present, and even the women couldn't help but look at her.

"Fairy sister!"

When Duan Yu saw Li Qiu Shui, he was immediately stunned and stared at her blankly.

Although the other person was masked, he could still tell at a glance that the other person was the jade sculpture in the stone cave of Wuliang Mountain in Dali.

"He's not an important person anyway, so I can just kill him. As for Duan Yanqing, he's still useful to me, so I can't let him die. The reason I came to you is to find out the whereabouts of my senior brother from you."

Li Qiushui looked at Chu Yuan and said.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Senior. I don't know the whereabouts of Senior Wuyazi."

Chu Yuan shook his head.

If he knew the whereabouts of Wuyazi, Tianshan Tonglao would not have always followed him.

Li Qiu Shui looked at Chu Yuan with her bright eyes without saying anything, as if she was judging whether Chu Yuan's words were true or false.

"Forget it. Even you don't know. It seems that he is deliberately avoiding us. However, Young Master Chu is so outstanding in appearance. At such a young age, his martial arts are already the best in the world. He can be called a dragon and phoenix among men. I have a granddaughter named Yinchuan, and I want to marry her to you. What do you think, Young Master Chu?"

Li Qiushui said to Chu Yuan.

Li Qiushui's words immediately caused an uproar among the martial arts heroes in front of the Shaolin Temple.

The granddaughter of the Queen of Western Xia, isn’t that the Princess of Western Xia?

I heard that there was indeed a princess in Western Xia named Yinchuan.

The Queen of Western Xia betrothed the Princess Yinchuan of Western Xia to Chu Yuan. So as long as Chu Yuan agreed, wouldn't he become the prince consort of Western Xia in the future?

For ordinary people, this is a great opportunity to reach the top overnight, let alone Chu Yuan who came from the Beggars' Sect.

Even if they were Song people and had a hostile relationship with Western Xia, if they asked themselves honestly, they would definitely agree to such a good thing without even thinking about it.

Everyone looked at Chu Yuan, wanting to know what choice Chu Yuan, the Green Lotus Messenger of the Beggar Gang, would make!

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Senior. I'm still young and have no plans to get married for the time being."

Chu Yuan refused without hesitation.

He suspected that the reason why Li Qiushui betrothed her granddaughter Princess Yinchuan to him was to start with him and find Wuyazi. But this was their own grudge within the Xiaoyao Sect, and Chu Yuan did not intend to intervene or participate in it.

Chu Yuan's words left Li Qiu Shui speechless.

When others tell her that they are still young and have no plans to get married, she will think that is just an excuse.

But if it was Chu Yuan, she really would have nothing to say.

Because Chu Yuan had made a name for himself last year and was only eighteen years old when he became famous in the martial arts world. And this year he is barely nineteen years old, less than twenty years old, so he is indeed not old.

"Forget it. Since Young Master Chu doesn't want to, I won't force you to do anything. Let's just leave it at that."

Li Qiu Shui could only speak.

"but……"

Li Qiushui's tone turned cold: "Very few people dare to reject what I say in person."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot. Her figure was like a ghost, leaving an afterimage. When she reappeared, she was in front of Chu Yuan, and her right palm struck towards the Danzhong point on Chu Yuan's abdomen.

Chu Yuan did not dare to be careless. Although Li Qiu Shui had a dissolute personality, his martial arts skills were not low. He was one of the three Xiaoyao elders.

Chu Yuan directly used the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" to activate the protective gangqi.

boom!
Li Qiushui's right palm hit Chu Yuan, which was like hitting a wall of air. There was also a recoil force on the wall of air, which made her take a step back.

"I've heard that Young Master Chu has a martial art called 'Nine Heavens Gang Qi' that can condense the Qi into a Gang, making him invulnerable to swords and spears. Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary."

Li Qiushui said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then she stepped forward again and slapped Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was not afraid and started fighting with Li Qiu Shui.

What surprised Chu Yuan was that Li Qiu Shui's palm power could be controlled at will, making it straight or curved as desired.

It seems that he is facing the enemy head-on, but in fact the direction of the palm force is wandering, and he can be attacked from any position.

Sometimes she clearly used her left palm, and when she struck out with her left palm, the force of her left palm could bypass Chu Yuan's body and attack from his right side. Sometimes she used her right palm, and when she struck out with her right palm, the force of her right palm could bypass his side and attack from his left side again, catching Chu Yuan off guard and making him extremely uncomfortable.

Chu Yuan thought of Wuyazi's mention of a martial art that only Li Qiushui among the three Xiaoyao elders was good at:
"White Rainbow Palm Power"!
It is said that this is a martial art that was passed down to Li Qiushui by Xiaoyaozi, the founder of Xiaoyao Sect. It is a martial art that can control palm power at will. Its characteristics are that the palm power can be bent or straight as desired. The palm power can attack the opponent from any direction and in unexpected ways. Chu Yuan finally opened his eyes.

Not only that, Li Qiu Shui also seemed to be proficient in all martial arts of various sects in the martial arts world. She could use the martial arts of the Beggars' Sect, Shaolin, Dali Duan Family... and other sects with ease.

Chu Yuan could see clearly that this was clearly the "Little Wuxiang Kung Fu".

Compared to the half-baked "Little Wuxiang Gong" that Jiumozhi displayed last time, Li Qiushui's "Little Wuxiang Gong" has clearly been practiced to an extremely high level.

The martial arts from various sects that she displayed seemed as if they were performed personally by disciples of various sects who had practiced these martial arts for decades. There was no flaw at all. Even the leaders of these sects watching from the side could not tell the real from the fake.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan had the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" to make up for the disadvantage, and he fought the enemy with his fists and palms.

After more than ten moves, Chu Yuan took advantage of Li Qiu Shui's unpreparedness, and the Yin-Yang power spewed out from his palm. With one move of "Tian Gang Di Sha Palm", he tore the mask off Li Qiu Shui's face and sucked it into his hand.

What surprised Chu Yuan was that Li Qiu Shui had a very ugly face despite her fairy-like appearance.

There were four extremely long sword wounds crisscrossing her face, forming a "well" shape. Because of these four sword wounds, her face, which should have been extremely beautiful, now looked ugly, with a bulging right eye and a crooked left corner of her mouth.

"You are so rude, young man, you are looking for death!"

Chu Yuan's action angered Li Qiu Shui.

After she pushed Chu Yuan back nearly ten feet with one palm, a frosty look immediately appeared on her face and her eyes were full of murderous intent. She wanted to kill Chu Yuan.

However, after hesitating for a moment, she reacted quickly, her figure disappeared from the spot, and returned to the sedan chair, leaving only the slowly falling curtain.

Because Chu Yuan and Li Qiu Shui had just acted so quickly that they even turned into two afterimages intertwined, the other people around them did not see the ugly face and scars under Li Qiu Shui's veil.

When they saw Chu Yuan holding the mask that Li Qiu Shui used to cover her face, they thought that Chu Yuan had offended Li Qiu Shui and that was why she was angry.

"Princess Yinchuan is seeking a husband through a martial arts competition. Anyone who is willing can go and participate."

Li Qiu Shui's cold voice came from the sedan again.

"Boy, although you are rude, your martial arts are extraordinary. If you change your mind, you can come to Xixia to find me. My promise is always valid."

Li Qiu Shui ignored the comments of the heroes present and continued speaking.

This sentence was obviously directed at Chu Yuan.

"Sister, Junior Brother is not dead yet. Let's put aside our grudge for now, but one day there will be a conclusion..."

As they were talking, more than a hundred Xixia warriors on the mountain road made way for the eight soldiers to carry Li Qiu Shui down the mountain.

Before leaving, Li Qiu Shui glanced in the direction of Wang Yuyan, who was looking after the unconscious Murong Fu with the Murong family's servants.

Wang Yuyan didn't know her, but she knew her granddaughter Wang Yuyan. However, with her current identity, it was not easy for her to recognize Wang Yuyan.

"What an amazing boy! How did he master such extraordinary martial arts at such a young age? His internal strength is much higher than mine. Could he be an immortal from heaven? Otherwise, how could he have such amazing martial arts at such a young age?"

Sitting in the sedan chair, Li Qiushui thought about the details of the fight with Chu Yuan just now, and a trace of fear and lingering fear flashed in her eyes.

The reason why she decided to leave was because Chu Yuan was able to snatch away the silk veil that covered her face, which in itself proved that Chu Yuan's martial arts skills were not inferior to hers.

In addition, when she had just fought with Chu Yuan, she discovered that Chu Yuan's internal strength was actually slightly stronger than hers!
If the fight continues, the outcome is uncertain.

It would be fine if she won. It is only natural for her, a senior, to win over the junior.

If we lose, it would be too shameful and we would lose all face.

Moreover, if she was defeated, in order to save her face as the Queen of Western Xia, she couldn't let the army she brought with her go to war with the Shaolin Temple, right?

She had come to the Song Dynasty originally to exchange martial arts and invite martial artists from the Song Dynasty to participate in the martial arts competition for Princess Yinchuan's hand in marriage.

If the Xixia Yipintang warriors and the army at the foot of the mountain were really allowed to fight against the Shaolin Temple on the mountain, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the Song Dynasty.

"This boy is extremely talented. If Yinchuan could really marry him, it would be a good match. It's a pity that he doesn't want to."

After the anger in her heart dissipated, Li Qiu Shui said with regret.

……

After Li Qiu Shui left, Chu Yuan held Li Qiu Shui's face towel in his hand, lost in thought.

He didn't expect that Li Qiu Shui's face under the veil was not as beautiful as he imagined. Instead, she was very ugly, with several scars on her face.

Even he, a time traveler, didn't know about this.

It is also possible that because too much time has passed, his memory is fuzzy and he has forgotten about this incident.

"Why don't you want the Xixia princess given to you for free? Are you attracted to that slut?"

After seeing Li Qiushui leave, Chu Yuan was distracted holding her face towel, and Tianshan Tonglao came over and said.

Tianshan Tonglao's words made Chu Yuan laugh and cry.

He quickly clarified: "Senior, you misunderstood. I was just curious about the scar on Li Qiushui's face."

Tianshan Child-Girl looked at Chu Yuan and said, "It's good that she's not like that. Otherwise, if a handsome young man like you with extraordinary martial arts skills really has feelings for that whore, who knows how happy she would be. You are much better than those male lovers she keeps."

Chu Yuan said helplessly: "Senior, you are joking. How could I have any feelings for a senior who is so much older than me!"

Tianshan Tonglao said: "It's hard to say. With that whore's identity as the Queen of Xixia, and her successful martial arts training, she still looks young. Even if she is nearly a hundred years old now, there are still many men interested in her."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "That's true."

Just based on Li Qiu Shui's perfect temperament and figure, plus her noble status, even if she has a scar on her face, she can still charm a lot of men.

Duan Yu, who was still staring at the direction Li Qiushui left after she left, was one of them.

Tianshan Tonglao glanced at Chu Yuan and said, "What's more, you... have a precedent. You are involved with your master's wife, and you are birds of a feather with Ding Chunqiu. The only thing that is better than Ding Chunqiu is that you have a conscience."

Chu Yuan: ...
