The grudge has grown.

　　I went through hardships and fled back to Mount Buzhou, panting, to tell senior brother what had happened.

　　The jade group was pouring wine and was startled when they saw me come back covered in dust and bloodstains.

　　The wine barrel toppled to the ground, and the crystal-clear liquid seeped into the earth, dissipating its fragrance.

　　I quickly took a big sip.

　　Jade group held his forehead in pain and said, "I shouldn't have agreed to let you go in the first place." "Please no!" I picked up the fallen wine barrel and shook it, finding less than half remaining.

　　I poured myself a large bowl, then chugged it all in one breath and sat down to catch my breath.

　　"I didn't know those worms were his pets.

　　Ignorance is not a crime." I complained with a grievous look on my face.

　　"Yaotai, do you know who Cangguan is?" "They are members of the Wanjiang Sect, what's wrong?" I planned to go back to my room and sleep for three days and three nights, slowly relaxing my tense nerves.

　　"Senior brother is right.

　　Miaojian young people should really not provoke others.

　　They are so petty-minded and more narrow-minded than a needle." "He is the young master of the Wanjiang Sect." Jade group sighed softly, no longer wanting to pay attention to me.

　　"Oh.

　　Ah?" The bowl in my hand fell onto the stone table with a clang.

　　"Then...

　　if I can escape from his hands, wouldn't that prove that my meager skills are still passable?" I looked at senior brother expectantly, trying to smile and ease the atmosphere, hoping to get some comfort from him.

　　But he laughed even more awkwardly than me.

　　"Yaotai, it's just the two of us on Mount Buzhou." "Huh?" I didn't understand what he meant.

　　"If the Wanjiang Sect ever invades, Master's heritage will be lost." We stared at each other.

　　"I beg you, please leave and leave a way out for Mount Buzhou!" "Otherwise, Master won't be able to rest in peace!" I pouted.

　　I didn't expect that on the first day I returned to Mount Buzhou, my cowardly senior brother would drive me away.

　　But I couldn't blame him.

　　He was abducted by human traffickers when he was young and almost sold to the Chuguan, but Master saved him.

　　This led to his fear of the outside world, and he would stay indoors if he could.

　　Like an old Taoist priest living in seclusion.

　　Now, with the grudge between me and Cangguan, the existence of Mount Buzhou is in jeopardy.

　　Wanjiang Sect is the largest sect in Miaojian, and its disciples are ruthless and vengeful, with poisonous insects by their side, making them difficult to deal with.

　　Among them, the young master of the Wanjiang Sect is the leader of the younger generation, with advanced martial arts and excellent Gu techniques.

　　Ah, what should I do? There's one thing I dare not tell senior brother.

　　I'm afraid he'll faint from shock.

　　I stripped Cangguan of his clothes and kicked him into the river.

　　It was the second year of my escape, after I ate Cangguan's worms.

　　On my journey, I came across a tavern where the landlady brewed a delicious wine that could be smelled from miles away.

　　This was a great temptation for me.

　　If life has no fine wine as company, then what fear is there in death.

　　I sat by the window, outside of which flowed a long river.

　　The autumn water stretched into the vast sky.

　　The scenery was infinite, and if there was a beautiful companion without worldly troubles, it would truly be like heaven on earth.

　　Just as I was happily drinking, a man in black sat across from me.

　　He wore a mask and had a tall and slender figure with broad shoulders and a thin waist.

　　He was pleasing to the eye.

　　I stared at him with my eyes fixed, shamelessly assessing him from head to toe.

　　"Have you seen enough, miss?" A familiar voice.

　　My head felt as if it had been hit hard with a hammer.

　　Buzz! Oh no! Why is Caoguan here! The alcohol suddenly woke me up halfway.

　　Ah, there are countless fine wines in the world, I don't want to die here.

　　In order to survive, I suddenly stood up and let out a piercing scream.

　　Everyone in the tavern was attracted to us and looked over.

　　I threw myself onto Caoguan, almost causing both him and the chair to fall to the ground.

　　The incident happened suddenly, and he actually didn't evade it.

　　With red eyes, I accused loudly and tears of blood gathered: "My lord!" His body trembled, and he was about to take something out of his clothes.

　　I sensed danger and forcefully tore open his front, causing scattered small bottles to fall out, while shouting, "You unfaithful man, abandoning your newly married wife at home, going out to fool around with a fox demon!" As I shouted, I pulled at his clothes and even punched him, like a hysterical and pitiful woman.

　　His chest was completely exposed in the air, and if I had a sword in my hand, killing him wouldn't be difficult.

　　"You!" Through the mask, I saw a hint of confusion in his eyes, and even more surging killing intent.

　　Ha, I'm not easily frightened! "I want to see what mark the fox demon from the Southern Frontier left on you!" My cries echoed throughout the entire tavern.

　　I threatened him, stating that if he killed me here, I guaranteed that before taking my last breath, I would expose his identity to everyone.

　　Wanjiangmen's reputation in the martial world was not good to begin with, and if their disciples openly committed murder, it would be a demonic sect's action, and everyone would have to exterminate them.

　　"Alright! Take a look, take a look at the distinct mark this fox demon left!" "My lord, do you still dare to deny it? Ah?" When he was pursuing me earlier, I had slashed him in the chest, leaving only a shallow red mark, which indeed looked like it was made by a woman's nails.

　　Every word I spoke was full of tears and grievances.

　　The looks in the eyes of the other patrons also turned disdainful as they looked at him.

　　Caoguan could no longer bear it and wanted to draw his sword and stab me.

　　I desperately grabbed onto the hilt of his sword, my knuckles turning blue, my face pale.

　　I used all of my internal strength.

　　"Since my lord is unjust! There's no point in me being alive either!" I laughed madly, tears wetting my clothes.

　　"Why not perish together with my lord!" I forcefully slammed him towards the window, giving him a hard slap on his chest, while shielding myself from the watery impact with his body.

　　Just as we were about to fall into the water, I pushed off him, luckily my lightness skill was not bad, and I flew back to the shore.

　　Meanwhile, Caoguan was kicked into the river by me.

　　I quickly fled for my life, leaving behind the bewildered tavern patrons and the pale-faced Wanjiangmen's young master in the water.

　　Who asked him to chase after me for a bowl of insects? Although I couldn't beat him, my ability to escape was not to be underestimated.

　　When I was young, my master taught me that the most precious things in life are alcohol and one's life.

　　Apart from these two, everything else is futile.

　　Later, the old man drove a crane and went west.

　　Leaving behind a group of jade that desires to live and fears to die.

　　Leaving behind a jade platform that is obsessed with alcohol.

　　So, for me, face is nothing.

　　Besides, the Cyan Official doesn't know who I am.
