I'm in the world of Xianjian

After Lin Shen entered Suzhou, he found a street tea stall to drink tea. He heard people talking.

"Have you heard that the Lin family is holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride?"

"With such a big commotion, how could you not know? There are always people lining up in front of the Lin family's door every day."

"Why do you think the Lin family wants to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride?"

"According to a message from their servants, there was a fortune teller who told Lord Lin that he could choose a husband for Miss Lin through a martial arts competition. Miss Lin even fought him, but was defeated. So she had no choice but to accept the competition."

"No way, Miss Lin can't beat a fortune teller."

"Hey, I heard that the fortune teller is a hermit. He defeated Miss Lin with just a few moves."

"I wonder when Miss Lin's destined husband will arrive. By the way, there have been several cases of missing young girls in Suzhou recently. What's going on?"

"I don't know. We can't find anyone in the middle of the night. No one can find them alive or dead."

Lin Shen, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this. There didn't seem to be such a thing in the original work, but then he remembered the snake demon and fox demon couple in the Hidden Dragon Cave, so he initially concluded that it was done by the two of them.

But what is certain is that the girls disappeared in the middle of the night, and it seems that the truth will be revealed at night.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger and Anu arrived in Suzhou.

Li Xiaoyao suggested going for a stroll in Suzhou City, and both girls agreed. As the three of them were walking towards the Suzhou City Gate, they saw a woman in purple whipping two servants, a man and a woman.

The woman in purple was none other than Lin Yueru, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

Li Xiaoyao walked up and asked, "Miss, what happened? Whip them here."

Lin Yueru said, "This Changgui actually seduced my personal maid Yinhua. If I don't teach them a lesson, how can I establish my authority in the future?"

Anu said, "You are too cruel. If you continue to hit someone, someone will die."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Why not let them go?"

Seeing that Lin Yueru didn't react, they thought she agreed.

Just as Zhao Linger was about to untie the two, Lin Yueru shouted, "You can let them go, but you must chop off one of their hands as punishment."

Zhao Linger and Anu shouted in unison, "No."

So Lin Yueru, Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger and Anu got into fighting stance.

Lin Shen sensed that Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao were about to start a fight, so he used the technique of leaping to hide on the roof of the city gate tower to watch their performance.

Lin Yueru whipped Li Xiaoyao and the others, but Li Xiaoyao and Anu dodged. Zhao Linger tried to untie Yinhua, but was discovered by Lin Yueru.

Lin Yueru wrapped a whip around Ling'er's waist and pulled her back. Zhao Ling'er lost her balance and fell headfirst.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao drew his sword and engaged Lin Yueru in a fight. Anu helped the fallen Ling'er up. Lin Yueru put away her whip and switched to a sword to fight Li Xiaoyao. The sound of their weapons clashing was endless.

Seeing this, Anu threw an explosive Gu at Lin Yueru. In a hurry, Lin Yueru transformed her ring into a flying knife and threw it at her. The Gu exploded the moment it hit the knife.

Lin Shen, who was standing next to him, muttered quietly, "It seems Yueru has developed the ring I gave her quite well."

Zhao Linger stood up and gathered a bolt of lightning to strike Lin Yueru, who dodged to the side, letting the lightning pass by. Anu took out his ghost-head staff and rushed forward. Lin Yueru fought one against two, fighting for over thirty rounds without losing.

Lin Shen complained, "Anu, you wizard, why don't you just throw poisonous insects and play with them instead of engaging in close combat with Lin Yueru? What are you thinking? But it can be seen that Lin Yueru's martial arts have improved in the past six months. Even if they fight two against one, they won't be able to gain the upper hand."

While Anu and Li Xiaoyao were holding Lin Yueru back, Zhao Linger untied Yinhua and Changgui, and then let them go.

Anu took the initiative to step back a few steps and shouted, "Brother Li, get out of the way. Watch me."

After saying that, Anu used the bee-controlling technique to summon a large number of bees to fly towards Lin Yueru.

Li Xiaoyao saw the dense swarm of bees and immediately dodged to the side, leaving the battlefield. Lin Yueru was surrounded by bees and although she used her sword to block them, she was still stung more than a dozen times.

After a while, the swarm of bees dispersed, and Anu asked, "Are you still fighting?"

Lin Yueru said, "Little bee, what's so scary about it? I..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt his whole body paralyzed and unable to move, and soon he collapsed to the ground.

Lin Shen watched and thought: "It's already pretty good that I can fight these three for so many rounds. But Anu summoned so many bees, it's really hard to deal with them."

Li Xiaoyao was in a playful mood and hung Lin Yueru on a tree.

Zhao Linger said, "Brother Xiaoyao, aren't we going a bit too far?"

Anu said, "Who told her to hang those two people up and beat them so harshly?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "It's a good opportunity to let her suffer a little."

Lin Yueru said, "Why don't you put me down? Otherwise, when I get away, I will make you suffer."

Zhao Linger said, "Brother Xiaoyao, look at this..."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Let's go play around Suzhou City first and wait until those two people run away."

Anu said, "Yes, Sister Ling'er, Anu also wants to see what Suzhou City looks like."

Ling'er hesitated for a while, but had to agree, and the three of them left.

Lin Yueru was about to shout for help, but then she thought of something, so she used her ring to conjure up a small knife and cut the rope with it.

Lin Yueru came down from the tree, but she was still exhausted because the bee venom had not yet been eliminated.

At this time, three little hooligans came and approached Lin Yueru with a lewd look on their faces. Lin Yueru struggled to move backwards while shouting, "Help! Help! This is molestation!"

At this time, Zhao Linger heard Lin Yueru's urgent cry for help. She said, "Brother Xiaoyao, let's go back and take a look. That girl seems to be crying for help."

Li Xiaoyao said nonchalantly, "It's probably fake."

Anu pricked up his ears and said, "No, it seems something really happened."

So the three of them ran back and saw three hooligans trying to molest Lin Yueru.

Li Xiaoyao saw this and shouted "Stop!"

When the three little hooligans saw someone making trouble, they said, "What? You want to be a hero and save the beauty?

(Looking at Zhao Linger and Anu) Wow, I didn't expect such a good harvest today, three little beauties, just right for each of us, no need to fight or compete.

Zhao Linger and Anu behind Li Xiaoyao got angry when they heard this and shouted, "You bold pervert!"

"Little girl, how can you be a lecher if you are so timid? A gentleman loves a beautiful lady, don't you know?"

These words immediately confused Anu and Ling'er.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Little thief, why are you so arrogant? Let me show you how I will deal with you."

Then Li Xiaoyao winked at Anu and rushed towards the three gangsters.

One of the gangsters punched Li Xiaoyao in the face. Li Xiaoyao caught the fist and kicked the man in the abdomen. The man squatted on the ground and couldn't get up.

Another gangster punched him again, and Li Xiaoyao kicked him in the cheek. The man immediately drooled and fell to the ground.

The remaining one wanted to bypass Li Xiaoyao and rush straight towards Zhao Linger, but Li Xiaoyao grabbed his collar from behind and pulled him backwards, causing him to fall headfirst.

To teach them a lesson, Zhao Linger gathered her spiritual energy and unleashed a bolt of lightning. With a crackling sound, the three hooligans turned and ran, shouting "Monsters!"

When Ling'er heard this, her face suddenly darkened.

Anu fed Lin Yueru the antidote to the bee venom and then helped her up.

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger came over, and Lin Yueru burst into tears, saying, "How can I face people like this...!"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Fortunately, I got back in time, otherwise..."

Before Li Xiaoyao could finish, Lin Yueru drew her sword and shouted, "Stop pretending, watch out for the sword." She pierced Li Xiaoyao's chest with the sword.

Zhao Linger was shocked when she saw this, "Brother Xiaoyao~!"

Anu shouted "Brother Li!"

Li Xiaoyao could only squat on one knee on the ground, covering the wound with his hand. Zhao Linger and Anu supported Li Xiaoyao.

Anu said angrily, "What's wrong with you? We came back to save you with good intentions, but you turned your kindness into hatred!"

Lin Yueru released the sword in her hand and said, "You...why don't you hide?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "It's...it's me who caused the girl to almost lose her reputation...I will...take your sword."

Lin Yueru said tremblingly, "You...me...you deserve it..." Then she picked up the sword and ran away.

Ling'er said, "Brother Xiaoyao, let me see it quickly."

Anu said, "Brother Li, what are you trying to do?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said, "That sword... came suddenly... How could I dodge it?"

After saying that, Li Xiaoyao fell down. Anu and Ling'er shook him and shouted, "Brother Xiaoyao~Brother Xiaoyao~wake up~wake up!"
