Chapter 667: No Need to Endure Again and Again
When Jian Xiaocao first heard the red-faced ghost's name, her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that she would be punished by her fellow apprentices for coming back late, so she tried her best to explain, "The old man I just saw, he..."

Suddenly, the senior brother who led the team called her softly with an unbelievable expression, "Xiao Cao, you are Xiao Cao..."

The brothers around were all shocked. "How could it be a red-faced ghost? How could she be so beautiful?"

"Many of the top ten beauties on the beauty list may not be as pretty as this woman."

"I am the martial arts master of Jian's martial arts school in Licheng. I'd like to ask Miss your name and whether you are married."

After a commotion, the fellow disciples in the martial arts gym carefully identified the facial features and confirmed that the stunning beauty in front of them had the same facial features and figure as Jian Xiaocao, without any change. The only change was that the birthmark that covered half of Daban's face was gone.

At this time, many warriors around noticed the noise here and didn't look over here, but when they saw Jian Xiaocao's face, they were attracted and couldn't take their eyes off.

"Xiao Cao, what happened to your face?"

When the museum owner adopted Jian Xiaocao, he made sure that she had no hidden illness or disability. Her only flaw was the birthmark on her face, which was the fundamental reason why she was abandoned by her parents.

When she grew up a little, she invited a famous doctor in the city, who was also from the Medicine King School, to treat her.

The doctor said he was helpless as birthmarks are natural and do not appear on the surface. Instead, they have penetrated into the skin and flesh. Even if the skin and flesh are removed, they will remain on the face.

As a result, Jian Xiaocao grew up with the birthmark and was ridiculed and mocked by people around her. Her nickname was also the derogatory "Red-faced Ghost".

Although she had a gentle personality, was kind, and had outstanding talent in boxing, her fellow disciples disliked and excluded her because she was born ugly.

Jian Xiaocao took a bronze mirror from her fellow student and looked at it against her face, only then did she realize what had happened.

Who is the fairy in the mirror? Is it herself?
Jian Xiaocao was shocked and looked back quickly, but the old man was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother, it was the old man from before. He used his magical hands to remove my birthmark."

The leader nodded and analyzed, "He must be a master physician who can bring people back to health."

The attitudes of his fellow disciples changed drastically. They no longer ignored and were indifferent to him, but instead vied with each other to please Jian Xiaocao.

"Xiao Cao, are you hungry? I have some untouched braised beef."

"Xiao Cao, drink some sweet wine to moisten your throat. The climate here is dry. Talk less and don't hurt your throat."

The Red-Faced Ghost's catchphrase was completely swept into a corner.

Jian Xiaocao was flattered, his face flushed, and he was at a loss. It was his team leader who came to his rescue, "What are you doing? Are you making fun of other fellow Taoists? Get out of the way!"

More and more eyes were looking at her from all around, and everyone who saw Jian Xiaocao's face was amazed.

"Can you believe this is the red-faced ghost?"

"Among the stunning beauties in our Licheng, perhaps only Gong Wanyue, who is on the list, can be compared with her, right?"

"What a beautiful face, but unfortunately, she will probably become someone's concubine again!"

As everyone was discussing, Gong Xiaoxie pushed through the crowd and came closer. When he first glanced at Jian Xiaocao, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, she is indeed a peerless beauty."

He nodded to the senior brother who led the team, "This girl will follow me from now on."

The implication was that he wanted to take Jian Xiaocao away by force.

"Master Gong, this is inappropriate. Xiaocao is a disciple of the martial arts school. She needs the approval of the head of the school before she can go there."

Gong Xiaoxie waved his hand and said, "Let her follow me as a guard first, and then ask her again when we return to Licheng. I don't think she will refuse."

All the fellow disciples were silent. The Gong family had the highest status in Licheng, so who could refuse?

Gong Xiaoxie claimed to be recruiting guards, but looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was coveting Jian Xiaocao's beauty and had bad intentions.

Given his soft nature, once he falls into Gong Xiaoxie's hands, he will inevitably become a plaything.

"Master Gong, you are surrounded by talented people, and you don't need a clumsy junior sister like me, so please show mercy."

The leader gritted his teeth and endured, smiling politely and begging for mercy. The next moment, a martial artist beside Gong Xiaoxie attacked, kicking the leader in the chest with a thunderous sound.

Lei closes his legs!
The senior brother who led the team groaned, stood firm on the spot, and said with a cupped hand, "Young Master Gong, please show some mercy."

There was a line of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, obviously he was seriously injured.

When Jian Xiaocao saw that the senior brother who led the team was injured, she thought of the few warmth and kindness in the martial arts hall that came from this senior brother.

She was so excited that her blood started to flow and her face turned slightly red.

Strands of transparent silk-like lines flowed, outlining a seal character on her face that looked like a peeled egg... a bow.

Bow, the bow of Licheng Gong clan.

The seal characters that Zhou You personally adjusted stood out from the birthmark and were hidden inside the body. They would only become visible when the qi and blood were stimulated.

Moreover, unlike ugly birthmarks, the seal characters appearing on the face add a bit of elegance to Jian Xiaocao's already stunning appearance.

However, none of the warriors present knew the value of the words and could not recognize them.

"Mr. Gong, please don't embarrass my senior brother."

Jian Xiaocao changed her soft and gentle personality, stepped in front of Gong Xiaoxie with a determined look on her face.

Gong Xiaoxie looked at the light waves flowing on her face and the transparent lines looming in her eyes, which made him feel shaken and distracted.

How come this woman is prettier than my cousin? I found a treasure.

He laughed and said, "Just follow me obediently, I won't make things difficult for him!"

"Master Gong, although Jian Xiaocao is a woman, she is also a martial artist in Licheng. You are humiliating me like this. Do you really disregard the reputation of the Gong family?"

At this moment, she spoke in a sonorous and melodious voice, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not look as timid as usual.

Other fellow disciples from the martial arts school looked at the unfamiliar Jian Xiaocao and could only attribute it to the confidence brought by her changed appearance.

"How dare you slander the reputation of my Gong family? Come, arrest this rude woman!"

Upon hearing this, two retainers rushed out, one on the left and one on the right, reaching out to grab Jian Xiaocao's arm, determined to get her.

The Jian family martial arts school is only of third-rate quality, evolving from the family's traditional boxing skills. However, the two disciples are from famous schools, so even the school owner himself would not be their match.

Their only concern was hurting Jian Xiaocao and affecting Gong Xiaoxie's interest.

"As warriors, we still speak with our fists."

Jian Xiaocao dug his heels into the ground and punched, his energy and blood flowed into his body, and as it passed through the words on his face, strange changes suddenly occurred.

boom!
The two retainers flew backwards, with holes all over their heads, faces, chests, and limbs, as if they had been hit by billions of steel balls.

Jian Xiaocao looked at her palm, unable to believe that it was the power she herself had exerted.

Things got bigger.

Two retainers of the Gong family were beaten by her and their lives were in danger. Even the owner of the inn could not cover up this matter.

"Just wait, you're done!"

Gong Xiaoxie pointed at Jian Xiaocao and threatened fiercely.

Coincidentally, a crazy Qiang Wu passed by nearby. He was looking for his lost godson, Mao Lang.

Gong Jinhuan caught a familiar feeling of blood and energy surging, and raised his head suddenly, "Well, tribesmen?"

After hesitating for a moment, he ran towards this direction at high speed.
