Good luck every time

Xiaoman hasn't seen much of the turmoil in the world, but he has had enough.

She was born in the peaceful and happy Sanjia Village, but unexpectedly bore the blood feud of Granny Ding.

The huge Ding Bai put too much pressure on Xiaoman.

Li Ruyi understood that the child was probably under too much pressure.

Among Grandma Ding's four disciples, she is the only one with the highest martial arts skills. Although Li Ruyi never said it, Xiaoman actually knew in her heart that the burden of killing Ding Bai always lies on her.

So she didn't dare to lose her martial arts skills and didn't dare to let herself slack off.

She gained something from the competition and thought that her breakthroughs in martial arts were all due to the competition.

Although this is indeed the case, walking on the edge of danger all year round has kept her nerves tense.

Others would never understand these mental journeys, and he could not express them in words.

"If you like, you can do anything!"

Among the three sisters, Xiaoman is probably the freest.

Xiaoman agreed and continued to look at the lights in the distance. She asked Li Ruyi.

"It is said that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, but if a person only lives selfishly, what is the meaning of living?"

Li Ruyi also followed her gaze and understood that Xiaoman was asking about Ding Bai, who killed his master and robbed the Ding family of everything, and is still persecuting others. Why can such a villain live so freely.

But Li Ruyi couldn't answer this question.

She thought about it and finally could only say one sentence.

"Heaven is ruthless. We should seek ethical justice from outside. It is better to think about how to strengthen ourselves!"

Xiaoman nodded and asked her again.

"If I have no talent for martial arts and no ability to study, and seem to be born a weakling, then is there no other way?"

Li Ruyi felt that Xiaoman's questions were always full of strange thoughts.

But when she analyzed, she would always unexpectedly see her own confusion.

"Having a strong mentality is also a kind of strength!"

"The fairness you can't get with your fists, you will eventually get in your heart!"

Xiaoman pouted.

"That sounds so useless!"

Li Ruyi smiled, because she had been a weak person all her life, so she could understand better.

"I don't think so. I think as long as a person can let go of himself, he is truly powerful!"

"No matter how strong the wind blows, I will remain unmoved!"

Xiaoman also laughed. If this explanation was correct, it seemed to make sense.

The two sisters stood on the roof, chatting as if no one was around, and their conversation was heard by others.

The people who were monitoring them left only after they returned to their room to sleep.

In the woods not far from Tiejian Villa, the head steward was waiting there listening to the reports from people coming and going.

"What did they say?"

The person who replied to Bing's message knelt on one knee, roughly repeated what Li Ruyi and Xiaoman said, and then concluded.

"They seem to know that we are going to attack Tiejian Villa!"

The butler agreed indifferently.

"It's not strange if you know it, it would be strange if you don't know it!"

If Li Ruyi can't even see such a small thing, she doesn't deserve to be cared about by Ding Bai and want to use her for his own purposes!

After hearing this, the person who replied asked another question.

"But I didn't understand what they meant by 'after this incident'. What 'this incident' they were referring to..."

The butler still looked indifferent.

"It doesn't matter! Just keep an eye on them and don't let them cause any trouble before daybreak!"

"Yes!"

Li Ruyi and Xiaoman slept very alertly at night, and got up as soon as they heard any movement in the yard the next day.

Logically speaking, they are not in danger here, but no one dares to be careless at this moment.

Before you can even finish watching the drama at Tiejian Villa, you’ve become the one doing it.

Because of the dinner yesterday, Tiejian Villa seemed much quieter early in the morning, with only the disciples coming and going and working.

The birthday party was still scheduled for the evening, but it didn’t seem so busy at the moment.

Although Li Ruyi and his group were not welcome at Tiejian Villa.

But no one neglected them. At breakfast time, someone still brought breakfast and picked up the leftovers from last night.

After Xiaoman checked and confirmed that it was non-toxic, the two had breakfast together and waited for a while before Li Shan and the other person got up.

"Why are you up so early?"

There were still some dark circles under Li Shan's eyes, and it was obvious that he did not sleep well last night.

Seeing him sit down, the two sisters started chatting with him in a casual manner.

"We're not that early. The disciples from Tiejian Villa arrived an hour and a half ago!"

Li Shan suddenly realized and asked.

"Do you still need to get up early to practice in someone else's territory?"

Aren't you afraid that someone might steal your martial arts skills? !

Xiaoman shook her head in denial.

"I didn't practice, it was just too noisy last night, and I couldn't sleep well when I was awake!"

Li Shan recalled the people who were stepping on his roof last night and complained in agreement.

"The management of Tiejian Villa is too lax. There are not as many thieves as here in Jiuchuan Lane..."

Xiaoman laughed when he heard this.

"Who knows? By the way, Brother Li, what are your plans for today?"

It would be a good thing if Li Shan and the other two still wanted to do some more work on buying and selling information.

If they can leave Tiejian Villa, their safety will be guaranteed.

Li Shan thought of the setbacks he had encountered in the past few days and shook his head.

"The two of us are just staying with the girl and have no other plans!"

They didn't know what Tiejian Villa would face this time, and they didn't know that Ding Bai would use threats and inducements to warn Li Ruyi.

Xiaoman wanted to persuade her further, but Li Ruyi interrupted her.

"Let's take a good walk in Tiejian Villa today! Since we are here, we should not leave after tonight or tomorrow morning."

Ding Bai would not let Li Ruyi leave at will, but Li Ruyi would not go along with him and wait for him to come to her.

Perhaps Tiejian Villa will encounter major changes today, but for Li Ruyi, leaving during the chaos is what she must do right now.

If I let Li Shan and the other two leave, it would be inconvenient to find them when I run away, so it would be better to keep them with me.

Xiaoman was also very interested in this place, and wanted to know what the difference was between such a martial arts sect and ordinary people.

"Then I will go find a disciple to lead the way for us later!?"

It is basic courtesy to stay within the confines of a guest's home when visiting him/her.

Li Ruyi nodded and finalized the matter. Li Shan and Huang Wenfeng continued to eat breakfast. After breakfast, the four of them found a disciple and asked him to lead the way for a walk.

Since Tiejian Villa is called a villa, it is natural that the area it covers is very large.

He occupied most of a hill outside the city.

Except for the woods on the back mountain, the architectural style of the entire villa is very unified.

The courtyard is very large, which is the style preferred by people in the martial arts world. There is a huge yard that can be used for practicing martial arts and sparring.

The garden scenery is not as exquisite as that of the wealthy families.

Li Ruyi also saw places like the library, treasure house and armory.

However, it is heavily guarded, and it is obvious that not ordinary people can go there.

On the way out of the big garden to the small garden, Li Ruyi suddenly heard a woman's voice shouting.

"I told you not to listen, I told you not to listen!"

The sound of a whip breaking through the air was heard, and a muffled groan was heard, and the whip seemed to have fallen on someone.

The man was not the type to just sit there and take a beating. He ran towards Li Ruyi, shouting for help as he ran.

Both sides ran towards Li Ruyi.

Soon Li Ruyi saw two figures, one was a man dressed as a disciple, and the other was a pretty girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The pretty little girl was dressed very luxuriously, waving a small whip and beating the man.

That disciple was not behaving himself either. Li Ruyi clearly felt that the man's body movements were quite impressive. He could clearly shake off the girl, but he kept running forward while holding her.

The two of them ran to Li Ruyi one after the other.

The disciple was about to hide behind Li Ruyi in an instant, but was stopped by Li Ruyi.

He had not expected such a turn of events. Given the nosy nature of the people in the martial arts world, shouldn't he hide himself behind others and question the little girl?

When He Xiaolian saw Li Ruyi's actions, she calmed down a little and asked uncertainly.

"You want to mind his business?"

Li Ruyi also answered indifferently.

"Please do as you please, he's just blocking my way!"

The disciple was surprised at Li Ruyi's reaction, and quickly grabbed Li Ruyi's sleeve and begged.

"Help me, lady! My eldest daughter wants to kill me!"

Li Ruyi didn't react much to this.

"Murder should be reported to the authorities. I can't do anything about it!"

If Li Ruyi's words were put in other places, everyone would think it made sense, but if they were put in Quzhou County where people from the underworld frequented, everyone would just think it was extremely funny!

Report to the police? What is an official?

When He Xiaolian heard this, she couldn't help laughing. Her mood seemed to improve a lot, and she had the chance to explain to Li Ruyi.

"I went out early in the morning and saw this guy bullying his junior fellow apprentice. I just went up to him and said a few words, but he talked back to me and pushed his junior fellow apprentice down. I didn't mean to teach him a lesson, but somehow, I got angry while running!"

Li Ruyi understood that He Xiaolian must have been tricked by this man. She probably had a bad temper on a normal day, and this man wanted to ruin her reputation, so others provoked her to take action.

But something big was happening in the villa, and the relatives of the owner of Tiejian Villa were so ignorant that they deserved criticism.

"You are the eldest daughter of Tiejian Villa. You have your own reasons for educating the people of Tiejian Villa. Outsiders have no right to interfere!"

Li Ruyi neither criticized the other party's behavior nor agreed with the other party's actions. She just coldly distanced herself from the relationship.

However, He Xiaolian was a child at heart. She did not understand the meaning of Li Ruyi's relationship. She just thought that the other party was very understanding and thanked Li Ruyi with a smile.

"Thank you very much for your help, Lady Hero!"

After saying that, he went to capture the disciple from Tiejian Villa.

"Stop right there! You must go back and apologize to your junior brother today. I will ask your master to punish you to face the wall in the back mountain. I don't want you to run away!"

The man wanted to run, but Xiaoman quietly stretched out his foot and tripped him. He Xiaolian caught up and pinned the man to the ground.

The disciple who led Li Ruyi and his party looked left, right, left, right, but in the end did not dare to say anything.

He Xiaolian pressed the man's head and started beating him. The man's wailing could be heard from far away.

Li Ruyi didn't take this matter to heart. What's the point of caring about it? The whole family might be wiped out tonight.

Li Ruyi memorized the terrain as he walked and looked.

He failed to remember it all the time, so he walked twice more. He had lunch at noon, and then walked again in the afternoon. The young disciple who was leading the way was almost exhausted.

After mid-afternoon, someone came to invite Li Ruyi to take his seat.

Although they were reluctant, the group still went.

The banquet at Tiejian Villa was held in a large courtyard, with about fifty tables in total.

The four were seated farthest from the main table.

Under normal circumstances, some people might be unhappy and feel that they are not qualified to sit here, but Li Ruyi did not have such an idea. He even exchanged seats with others because he was not close enough to the door.

It was still daylight when we sat down.

Tiejian Villa invited lion dancers to perform, and there were loud gongs and drums. When the excitement died down, there were all kinds of artists showing off their talents.

This went on for an hour before the dishes were served.

Although the sun had not yet set, there were already evening clouds.

The sounds of drinking and toasting rang out one after another. All kinds of people were saying all kinds of things. Li Ruyi and the other three sat there in silence.

Originally, Li Shan wanted to eat something, but as soon as he raised his chopsticks, Xiaoman held him down.

The people at the same table looked at them in surprise. One man saw that Li Ruyi was pretty and came over to ask questions.

"Ladies, why don't you eat? The chef at Iron Sword Villa is very skilled!"

This person had asked Li Ruyi's name before, but none of the four people answered him. Now he wanted to come up with a nicer name, but he really didn't have one.

Li Ruyi gave him a complicated look.

Why don't they eat? Is it because they are not hungry?

Of course not!

It’s because someone has put a muscle softener in the food!

The person who poisoned the food was very skilled and ordinary people could not detect it at all.

If Xiaoman hadn't mastered the poison skill, it would be difficult to tell just by smell, color, etc.

It’s not that no one had suspected that the food was poisonous, which was why the four of them refused to eat it.

But before he could verify this idea, he was pulled aside.

People who knew the situation mingled among them in various identities, and Li Ruyi's abnormality was quickly covered up by other people's words.

There are now many more theories about the identities of the four people.

Some people say that they are the illegitimate children of the owner of Tiejian Villa and came here just to get revenge and get slapped in the face.

Some people said that these four people did not know the rules and did not give face to the host after they came. They must be from some unknown small sect.

Some people also say that they have mastered certain skills and know which dishes on the table cannot be eaten.

The disciples of Tiejian Villa also glared at them. Someone asked them to leave, but Li Ruyi did not move, as if he really came to embarrass Tiejian Villa.

Of course, some people recognized Li Ruyi's identity.

People in the underworld who roam around are always well-informed. Ruyifang is now quite famous, so it is not surprising that they recognized Li Ruyi.
