The Young Swordsman of Dalu

Shou Shangxing looked at Wenfei and slowly told him about his past when he was young.

Back in the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Shou Shangxing unexpectedly became the last disciple of Hu Yifeng, the leader of the Flying Sword Sect.

At the time, the Flying Sword Sect was an insignificant little sect. Shou Shangxing didn't take it seriously at first, and after staying at Fengyi Mountain for half a month, he thought about leaving.

Hu Yifeng felt that Shou Shangxing had extraordinary talent and was a promising martial arts student, so he refused to let Shou Shangxing leave.

In order to leave the Flying Sword Sect, Shou Shangxing tried every means possible. One day, while Hu Yifeng was away, Shou Shangxing escaped from Fengyi Mountain. Shou Shangxing dared not linger on the road, and he ran all the way to the foot of Wuliang Mountain.

At the foot of Wuliang Mountain, Shou Shangxing met the only girl he ever loved in his life—Lin Qingwei.

On this day, Lin Qing, accompanied by Li Chaoyang, came down from Wuliang Mountain. She held Li Chaoyang's hand reluctantly and said, "Chaoyang! Are you leaving Wuliang Mountain?"

At this time, Li Chaoyang was young and ambitious, harboring great aspirations but unable to realize them. The people of the Great Yuan Dynasty were filled with resentment and lived in dire straits, while the Great Yuan emperor was incompetent and neglected state affairs. The Great Yuan Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse.

“This court is rotten to the core. I want to find a new ruler to lead the people away from this sea of ​​suffering!” Li Chaoyang said.

"This is a difficult and long process, take care of yourself! I'll wait for you to come back!" Lin Qingwei nestled in Li Chaoyang's arms.

Li Chaoyang held Lin Qingwei tightly in his arms, wishing time could stop and this beautiful moment could last longer.

"I want to go back! Otherwise my dad will make me recite my lessons again!" Lin Qing didn't break free from Li Chaoyang's embrace.

“I’ll take you back!” Li Chaoyang said.

"Don't let my father see you!" Lin Qingwei said.

"I won't let him find out!" Li Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Okay! I'm off! Chase me!" Lin Qingwei said, and then ran off happily.

"I'm here!" Li Chaoyang chased after him.

Lin Qingwei ran ahead with all her might, not paying attention to what was in front of her. She bumped into someone, who caught her. When Lin Qingwei looked up, she saw that she was in the arms of a handsome young man, and her face immediately turned red.

Li Chaoyang came up from behind, pulled Lin Qingwei from the man's arms, and said angrily, "What's wrong with you?"

"This girl ran into my arms, I didn't pull her over!" the man said.

"I don't want to talk to you! Chaoyang, let's go!" Lin Qingwei said.

Li Chaoyang followed Lin Qingwei for a long time, then turned his head to look at the man and found that the man was still standing there staring at them.

This person was none other than Shou Shangxing. From that moment on, Lin Qingwei's image was like a magnet drawn into Shou Shangxing's mind.

Shou Shangxing stopped at the foot of Wuliang Mountain. Every day, he secretly lingered near the gate of Lin Qingwei's house, just to catch a glimpse of Lin Qingwei.

Li Chaoyang saw all of this and warned Shou Shangxing several times to stay away from Lin Qingwei, otherwise he would beat Shou Shangxing to a pulp.

Clearly, Shou Shangxing was not intimidated by Li Chaoyang's threats. On the contrary, he became even more brazen. He used to stay in the shadows, but now he openly stood at the Lin family's gate to wait for Lin Qingwei.

When Lin Qing didn't see Shou Shangxing at her front gate, she immediately recognized the handsome young man. She felt embarrassed when she remembered bumping into his arms. She ignored him, quickly mounted her horse, and rode away.

Once, Shou Shangxing waited at the gate of the Lin family for half a day but did not see Lin Qing come out of the house. Then it started to rain, and the rain fell like beads from a broken string. In an instant, Shou Shangxing was soaked to the bone by the torrential rain, but he still did not leave.

Later, the servants of the Lin family could no longer stand it and reported it to Master Lin.

"Who is he? Why is he lingering outside?" Master Lin asked.

"Master! That young master seems to be looking for a young lady," the servant said.

"Nonsense! How could Miss associate with such shady people! Just take a few people and coax him away!" Master Lin scolded.

A servant led several people to the main gate and shouted, "Young master! Please leave the main gate of our Lin residence!"

Shou Shangxing stood in the heavy rain, refusing to leave no matter how much they called him. In the end, the servants had no choice but to forcibly drive him away. They carried Shou Shangxing for a long distance, then left him there and headed back. When they reached the main gate and were about to close it, they saw that Shou Shangxing had already followed them back to the main gate.

"How to do?"

"Give him a good beating! Let him learn his lesson!"

"Master Lin just ordered us to get rid of him."

"The problem is we can't get rid of it!"

"Let's think of another way!"

Later, Lin Qingwei heard from the maid that there was someone waiting for her at the gate, and she couldn't get rid of him. So, Lin Qingwei went to the gate out of curiosity and saw Shou Shangxing, who was soaked to the bone in the heavy rain.

"Are you stupid?! It's raining so hard and you're still not home!" Lin Qingwei said.

"I'm not afraid of anything just to see you!" Shou Shangxing said with a lovesick expression.

"Go back now! Don't come back again!" Lin Qingwei said.

"I'm going back! I'll come again tomorrow!" Shou Shangxing left happily, turning back every few steps.

“Miss! He’s such a strange person,” the maid said.

"This rain is really heavy! I wonder when Chaoyang will leave Wuliang Mountain!" Lin Qingwei said.

"Miss! Why don't we wait until the rain stops and then go to Wuliang Mountain to ask Young Master Li?" the maid said.

"Shut up!" Lin Qingwei said.

"I was just worried about you because you seemed so restless at home," the maid said.

"Let's go inside first!" Lin Qingwei turned and entered the mansion.

In the front hall of the Lin residence, Master Lin was sitting and waiting for Lin Qingwei's arrival.

Lin Qingwei did not greet Master Lin. Seeing his grim expression, Lin Qingwei knew her father was about to get angry again, so she said, "Father! I'm going back to my room! I'll try to read more books!"

"Wait a minute! Has that silly boy at the door left?" Master Lin asked.

"Let's go!" Lin Qingwei said.

"Qingwei! You are a young lady, you should be more reserved when you're out in public, and don't associate with just anyone, so as to avoid trouble later," said Master Lin.

"Yes, Father!" Lin Qingwei said.

"And that Li Chaoyang from Wuliang Mountain, you should contact him less in the future. He's just an unknown nobody, yet he has the audacity to want to marry my daughter. It's laughable!" said Master Lin.

“Father! Li Chaoyang is an ambitious man, and I believe he will succeed one day,” Lin Qingwei said.

"In short, neither your mother nor I agree!" said Master Lin.

"I want to be with Li Chaoyang!" Lin Qingwei said stubbornly.

"Then don't blame me for making a mountain out of a molehill. I'll just have to keep you firmly confined at home," said Master Lin.

"Whatever!" Lin Qing said before walking towards her room.
