【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Master, yesterday afternoon, I was traveling with you and my senior sisters to Hengyang. On the way, it started raining.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: While descending a slope, I slipped and reached out to grab the mountain wall for support, covering my hands in mud and moss.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: When we reached the bottom of the ridge, I went to the mountain stream to wash my hands, but I encountered Tian Boguang and was captured by him.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Tian Boguang took me into a cave, blocked the entrance, and refused to let me leave. He said that I… that I looked beautiful and wanted me to sleep with him…】
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: Silence! A young girl should not speak so recklessly! How can you say such things?】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: But he was the one who said it! I never agreed to it, and I didn’t sleep with him…】
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: Enough!】
…
Seeing the conversation between master and disciple, along with Yilin’s confused and aggrieved expression, many people couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
【Iron Sword Sect Yuzhenzi: Heh heh, it seems that Brother Tian is one of us.】
【Ruthless Evildoer Yun Zhonghe: Brother Tian, you have a good eye. This little nun is indeed tempting. If I had run into her, I wouldn’t have let her go either.】
【Blood Saber Sect Blood Saber Patriarch: Excellent! Wonderful! This old patriarch is bald, and so is the little nun—a perfect match!】
【Demonic Hermit Bian Bufu: I really want to see how my little niece Wanwan would look with a shaved head.】
【Yin Kui Sect Saintess Wanwan: Uncle, I’d also like to see what you look like after being castrated.】
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: Enough! You shameless degenerates! If I ever run into you, I will make sure you die without a burial place!】
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: Yilin, continue.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Yes, Master.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Tian Boguang refused to let me go and tried to tear off my clothes. Fortunately, Brother Linghu from Huashan Sect appeared.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Brother Linghu fought Tian Boguang to save me but suffered several sword wounds.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Brother Linghu told me that my presence was hindering him from fully executing Huashan Sect’s invincible swordsmanship and urged me to leave first.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: I obeyed, but as I neared Hengyang City, Tian Boguang caught up with me again, dragged me into Huiyan Tower, and forced me to drink and eat meat with him.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Master, we are monks—how can we drink and eat meat?】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: I refused, but he kept forcing me. That was when Brother Linghu appeared again.】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Despite being covered in wounds, Brother Linghu still tried to save me. Then, this Live Q&A Game suddenly appeared, and both Tian Boguang and I were chosen.】
…
By this point, everyone understood the situation.
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: So, you were still in Huiyan Tower before being chosen?】
【Hengshan Sect Yilin: Yes, Master.】
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: Good, good! Tian Boguang! Today, Hengshan Dingyi shall eliminate evil for the people!】
Inside the Live Q&A Game, Tian Boguang’s face darkened.
There was no doubt that Dingyi Shitai had already gone to Huiyan Tower to ambush him. As soon as the Live Q&A Game ended, he would most likely be transported back there, where the entire Hengshan Sect would be waiting to kill him!
And it might not just be the Hengshan Sect. The Five Mountain Sword Alliance shared a close bond, and many of them had gathered in Hengyang City due to Liu Zhengfeng’s Golden Basin Wash Ceremony. By then, he might face all Five Sects united against him!
“Damn! This is such rotten luck!”
Tian Boguang was on the verge of tears. He had just been trying to enjoy himself, but things had spiraled out of control. And now, he was staring at certain death.
“Wait! Heaven never seals all exits! There’s still the Q&A Game!”
“As long as I can gain immense rewards from this Live Q&A, I can become the strongest in the world! What will the Five Mountain Sword Alliance matter then?”
“By that time, even she will kneel before me, begging for my favor!”
As he thought about this, Tian Boguang couldn’t help but sneak another glance at Lianxing.
Slurp!
She was so beautiful. He almost couldn’t suppress his excitement.
…
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: Many thanks to Young Hero Linghu for his righteous help! Hengshan Dingyi will always remember this favor.】
【Huashan Sect Linghu Chong: Master Dingyi, you are too kind! This is what I should do.】
【Hengshan Sect Dingyi Shitai: Brother Yue, you have trained a fine disciple!】
【Huashan Sect Leader Yue Buqun: You flatter me! It is our duty as martial artists to help those in distress. No need for thanks.】
Outside Hengyang City, Yue Buqun’s expression, initially darkened from not being chosen, brightened slightly. Linghu Chong’s bravery in saving others had greatly boosted Huashan Sect’s reputation in the martial world. Yue Buqun was quite pleased.
Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, through the chat, asked Linghu Chong about his injuries.
Ning Zhongze said, “Senior Brother, Chong’er is still in Huiyan Tower. Let’s go meet up with him.”
Yue Buqun was about to respond when the giant glowing screen in the sky suddenly changed again.
Without turning his head, he ordered, “Lu Dayou, Liang Fa, go bring your senior brother over.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lu Dayou and Liang Fa obeyed and left.
…
Inside the Live Q&A Game, Long Xiaoyun had been silent, upset that his wedding had been interrupted. After calming down, his usual sociable nature resurfaced.
“I am Long Xiaoyun. Greetings to Young Master Ye, Miss Lianxing, and Little Master Yilin!”
He presented himself as courteous and confident. As for Tian Boguang? He completely ignored him. How could a heroic figure like him acknowledge a notorious rapist?
Ye Luochuan returned the greeting with a slight bow.
“Speaking of which, Long Daxia and I seem to have some fate in common.”
Long Xiaoyun’s eyes lit up.
“Oh? What do you mean?”
Ye Luochuan smiled.
“Today is Long Daxia’s wedding day. I was actually in the Li Garden earlier.”
Long Xiaoyun was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Ye Luochuan to be among his wedding guests. However, since Ye Luochuan was an unknown figure, Long Xiaoyun had not personally entertained him, so he hadn’t realized it.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, a majestic voice rang out again.
【Attention, everyone! The Live Q&A is about to begin!】
【During the Q&A, no cheating is allowed. Correct answers bring rewards; wrong answers bring penalties. The participant with the lowest score will be eliminated, while the highest scorer will receive an additional reward.】
【This round’s theme is: “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer”.】
“The Smiling, Proud Wanderer?”
“What kind of place is that?”
The chat exploded with discussions.
Inside the Live Q&A Game, Ye Luochuan’s heart began to race with excitement. Just as he had suspected—this martial arts world was actually a fusion of various wuxia universes.
The divided continents likely represented different wuxia novels. He had initially landed in The Legendary Swordsman, but now, the game was about to reveal The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, one of Jin Yong’s masterpieces!
He knew this story well. Ye Luochuan was thrilled. As the voice finished speaking, an invisible force separated the five selected participants.
Each of them was placed in front of a high platform, where a screen displaying ‘ABCD’ choices appeared. The Q&A had begun!
