Chapter 1117: Chapter 1119: The Last Sound of the Xiao

Indeed, there was a group of people fighting, and among them were the three female disciples of the Phoenix Mountain Sect that I had seen at the inn last night. The other group was men, and it seemed they had started the fight because of some past grudges.

The ladies of the Phoenix Mountain Sect were clearly outmatched; they hadn’t been fighting long before they gradually started to lose ground. The men became even more arrogant, "With your pathetic Martial Arts, do you seriously have the nerve to attend the Martial Arts Tournament? Are you all feeling too well-fed and idle? Let’s just tie them up and toss them into the river!"

Lu Jianxi was about to go and help, when the lady with the black mole shouted at her, "Lady, you better leave! This is between us and the Heishan Sect, it has nothing to do with you. We don’t want innocent bystanders to get hurt."

The chubby-faced girl also said, "Yes, let those with grievances settle them. This has nothing to do with you, get away as far as you can."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the youngest girl was struck in the chest, spat out blood twice, and then looked like she was in bad shape as her eyes rolled back and she passed out.

In this situation, Lu Jianxi couldn’t stand by without doing anything. She quickly leaped forward to help, and the two sisters who hadn’t passed out were utterly astonished.

Whose Kung Fu was this? It was so formidable, with nimble movements and fierce eyes—not to mention every strike targeted vital points, almost as if she wouldn’t rest until she killed her opponents.

The men from the Heishan Sect, who had been rather bold before, were now confronted by a woman with such impressive skills that they didn’t even dare to ask for her name. They soon scattered in all directions.

Once those men had fled, Lu Jianxi turned to look at the ladies from the Phoenix Mountain Sect. The lady with the black mole and the chubby-faced girl were now holding the youngest one, looking very anxious about her sister’s injuries.

The lady with the black mole started cursing, "Those stinking Taoists from the Heishan Sect, they’ve hurt our junior sister so badly, we won’t let them off lightly if we see them again!"

"Indeed, if it weren’t for our master being in seclusion, how could we ever have been bullied like this?"

Looking at Lu Jianxi, the lady with the black mole had a sudden inspiration, "Lady, thank you for your help. Your Martial Arts are so advanced; are you really not from the Jianghu?"

"I’m truly not," said Lu Jianxi.

"Would you be interested in visiting the Green Sword Villa? Just say you’re from the Phoenix Mountain Sect. If we run into those stinking Taoists from the Heishan Sect again, you can help us get revenge and show them they can’t be so arrogant."

The chubby-faced lady chimed in, "Yes, our junior sister is injured like this; we definitely can’t go to the Green Sword Villa now. We hope you can vent this frustration for us when the time comes."

Lu Jianxi had been worried about not having an invitation, but now she had finally secured one with her own abilities, so she immediately agreed, "Okay!"

As for taking revenge for them, she hadn’t considered that at all.

These Jianghu Sects all had a principle of returning every grievance, and could hold onto even the smallest slight for years; she had no desire to wade into those troubled waters.

When Lu Jianxi arrived at the dock and handed her invitation to the boatman, he was puzzled, "You found it so quickly? Are you really from the Phoenix Mountain Sect?"

"Of course. My master is currently in closed-door training and couldn’t come, so it’s just me," Lu Jianxi said, boarding the boat and immediately sitting down at the stern without moving.

Upon arriving at the Green Sword Villa, Lu Jianxi immediately started asking around to see if the people from the Dragon Tooth Gang had arrived. Someone told her, "The gang leader of the Dragon Tooth Gang came two days ago, he’s staying in that house behind the garden."

She immediately went over, but then someone stopped her, telling her that having an invitation wasn’t enough given the mix of company—she also had to be from the Dragon Tooth Gang. Lu Jianxi had intended to ask someone to go in and announce her presence, but she quickly reached into her bosom for her jade flute.

Behind the garden, she took out her jade flute and began to play. She played the very tune that Dragon Third had taught her in the coach.

The sound of the flute traveled over the flowers, birds, and trees in the garden, reaching the ears of the man in white sitting there.

His hand, holding a teacup, suddenly trembled.

Then he stood up and strode out.
