Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 43 43. Gentle Queen
Lin Wanqing smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Liu Tingting, you misunderstood. I have no intention of becoming an enemy of your Shenshui Palace, but I simply cannot bear to see innocent people suffer such cruelty. Although Shi Feiyang was once your enemy, he is now powerless to fight back. If you were to take his life now, wouldn't that be a violation of the moral code of the martial arts world? Moreover, when will the cycle of revenge end? It would be better for you to stop now, and perhaps you can resolve years of grievances."

I knew in my heart that Liu Tingting was lying and making excuses. As the saying goes, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.

Liu Tingting, however, thought Lin Wanqing was afraid of the Shenshui Palace, so she said coldly, "Lin Wanqing, I'm warning you again, don't meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, hehe, you'll have a hard time."

Lin Wanqing's eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, and she said coldly: "Sister Liu, you are wrong. Shi Feiyang is not a thief, he is a true hero in my heart. How can I watch him die in your hands? Besides, we in Changsheng Castle are not afraid of the Shenshui Palace, hehe!" Liu Tingting said angrily: "Then try it, hum!" Suddenly she jumped up and stabbed Shi Feiyang's throat with a sword.

Lin Wanqing played the piano with both hands, and the strings swung towards Liu Tingting and her maids, making a whooshing sound like a rain of arrows.

Each string contained Lin Wanqing's profound inner strength, bringing up gusts of strong wind that directly hit the vital points of Liu Tingting and her maid.

Seeing this, Liu Tingting's face changed drastically and she hurriedly waved the sword in her hand, trying to resist the overwhelming attack.

However, Lin Wanqing's internal strength was so profound that the strings could move freely in the sword light without being affected at all.

"Ding ding dang dang!" The sound of the long sword hitting the strings was endless. Liu Tingting only felt a huge force coming, which made her arms numb and she could hardly hold the long sword in her hand.

The maids around her were even more unable to resist. One of them was hit by the strings of the zither, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing did not intend to give up.

She plucked the piano lightly with her fingers, and the sound suddenly became passionate, and the strings danced more violently, as if to crush everything that stood in their way.

Liu Tingting was shocked. She had never seen such amazing piano skills before, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing stopped, waved her sleeves, and retracted the strings.

Liu Tingting was so angry that her face turned blue, but due to Lin Wanqing's strength, she didn't dare to attack again easily. She could only leave angrily with the maids.

After Liu Tingting and others left, Lin Wanqing stood up and walked to Shi Feiyang's side. She reached out to feel Shi Feiyang's breath, then reached out to feel Shi Feiyang's pulse. Feeling that Shi Feiyang could still be saved, she turned her head and nodded to the maid.

A maid took out a small green bottle from her pocket, poured out a pill, squatted down, and stuffed the pill into Shi Feiyang's mouth. Lin Wanqing quickly reached out and gently covered Shi Feiyang's mouth.

With a little effort, he skillfully pushed a pill into his stomach.

Then she turned around and asked the maids around her to quickly pack up their belongings.

Then, Lin Wanqing ordered the gray-clad guards of Changsheng Castle to carry Shi Feiyang back to Changsheng Castle.

Changsheng Fort was nestled in a vast plain, surrounded by lush mountains and forests, like a paradise secluded from the world. The gray-clad guards swiftly lifted Shi Feiyang and returned to Changsheng Fort with steady steps.

Lin Wanqing followed closely behind, turning around and looking back from time to time, very alert.

Although the stone walls of the castle have been weathered, they are still indestructible, revealing the weight of history and the accumulation of years.

Moss and vines are entwined on the city walls, adding vitality and greenery to this ancient building.

The city gates were tightly closed, their thick wooden doors inlaid with iron nails. Whenever the sun set, the afterglow cast a shadow over the castle, its golden glow reflecting off the ancient stone walls, creating a tranquil and harmonious scene.

The people in Changsheng Castle, apart from Lin Wanqing's family and guards, are mainly civilians who have fled from the war, as well as the leaders of martial arts sects and their disciples who have come to avoid the grudges in the martial arts world, and the heroes who have come here because of their reputation.

Beyond the castle lies a vast expanse of fertile land, where the people live a self-sufficient and peaceful life. In the event of an invasion, the castle's martial artists spontaneously organize and vow to defend Changsheng Fort to the death, preserving the paradise they depend on for survival. Changsheng Fort is more than just a building; it is a place of faith and a safe haven in their hearts.

Lin Wanqing led the crowd back, and the gate of Changsheng Castle slowly opened, revealing the quiet and mysterious scene inside.

The towering towers, the staggered courtyards, and the guardians hidden in the shadows all seemed to tell the story of the glory and legend of Changsheng Fort. Lin Wanqing prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Shi Feiyang could receive the best treatment in Changsheng Fort and regain his health.

Shi Feiyang slowly awoke from his slumber, finding himself lying on a soft, comfortable bed, surrounded by a faint herbal aroma. He gently turned his head and looked around. He saw that the room was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with several exquisite landscape paintings hanging on the walls, revealing a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Wanqing sat on the edge of the bed, her expression revealing a hint of fatigue, but her eyes were full of concern and expectation.

When she saw Shi Feiyang open his eyes, she couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile and greeted him softly, "Master Shi, you are finally awake. How do you feel?"

Shi Feiyang struggled to sit up, but his body was too weak.

He smiled helplessly and replied, "I'm fine, I just feel weak all over. Oh, by the way, my beautiful lady, what is your name? Thank you!" After that, he tried to get up and express his gratitude to Lin Wanqing.

Suddenly, Gong Simeng's beautiful figure passed by Shi Feiyang's eyes.

Shi Feiyang felt that although he had a miserable fate, he was able to meet so many kind people in times of crisis.

Especially in these few short months, he met Liu Guihua, Gong Simeng and the gentle beauty in front of him. They were all kind-hearted and helpful, which made him feel warm in adversity.

He secretly vowed in his heart that once he recovered, he would repay those who left a beautiful mark on his life double.

Gong Simeng's smile and brave and fearless spirit were deeply imprinted in Shi Feiyang's heart.

These experiences and encounters will be an important source of strength for Shi Feiyang to regroup and rise again in the future.

A warm feeling welled up in Shi Feiyang's heart, and he said to Lin Wanqing, "I'm so sorry to trouble you. May I ask where is this place? And why am I here?"

Lin Wanqing reached out and gently pressed Shi Feiyang's shoulder, signaling him not to move. She said softly, "Chief Shi, you should rest well first. Your body will gradually recover. You have profound internal strength, but it's a pity that you were poisoned. Otherwise, that evil Liu Tingting would not be your opponent. Rest well. You have already taken two longevity pills from our Changsheng Fort. I believe you will recover soon."

Shi Feiyang nodded, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He knew that his awakening was entirely due to Lin Wanqing's timely rescue and the protection of Changsheng Castle. He secretly vowed to recover as soon as possible to repay this kindness.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed and Shi Feiyang gradually recovered.

He began to try to get out of bed and walk around, feeling the strength in his body gradually returning.

Lin Wanqing would visit him every day and chat with him to relieve his boredom, and their relationship quietly became closer in the process.

That evening, Lin Wanqing accompanied Shi Feiyang for a walk in the courtyard.

After walking for a while, Lin Wanqing sighed and said, "Master Shi, you must know that you have completely offended the Divine Water Palace. Those people in the Divine Water Palace are narrow-minded and vindictive. You must be careful in the future."

Shi Feiyang smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not know? But now that things have come to this, we can only fight back."
