Chapter 1 Handsome Boy Saves Me
On a dark and windy night, a mother and daughter hurried along an ancient road, trying to evade the various martial arts practitioners who were hot on their heels.
Tao Ling'er, who is on the run, is a little girl who is eight years old.
Her black hair, disheveled and brushed against her face by the night wind, was mixed with tears and mud, obscuring her features.
The torchlight reflected in his eyes, which were filled with confusion and fear.
Her little hand gripped her mother Han Yue'e's hand tightly. Although her mother's face was pale, she still tried to remain calm.
She led her daughter through the intricate mountain paths.
Night fell, the crescent moon hung like a hook, and only the sound of the wind and hurried footsteps mingled in the mountains and forests.
They carried with them the "Tao Family Mystic Secrets" passed down through generations.
This heavy object made them targets for hunters in the martial arts world.
The five major sects and five major gangs, once pillars of the martial arts world, are now consumed by their greedy pursuit of esoteric and illusory arts.
They persecuted the top musician, Tao Ling'er's father, to death, and then joined forces to hunt down the helpless mother and daughter.
Tao Ling'er's mother, Han Yue'e, was once a village girl. She was gentle and virtuous, doing laundry and cooking, but she knew nothing about martial arts.
Now, only her protective instincts towards her daughter sustain her weary body.
Masters from various sects spared no effort to obtain the secret techniques of Qimen Dunjia, determined to kill the mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter kept running away.
They knew that if the "Secret Techniques" fell into the hands of these sects, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mother, why are they chasing us?"
Tao Ling'er's voice trembled with childishness; she was too young to understand the dangers and desires of this world.
Han Yue'e bent down, gently stroked her daughter's hair, and said softly but firmly:
"Because my mother has some things that they really want, but we can't give them to her, because these are the things that protect us, and also the things that protect many other people."
Just as they were about to be surrounded by pursuers and were almost exhausted, a dense forest suddenly appeared in front of them.
Under the moonlight, a young man stood at the edge of the forest, holding a long sword. He looked slightly tired, his figure tall and lonely.
The boy was only about ten years old, and the moonlight shone through the sparse branches of the crabapple tree.
The light dappled across his slightly thin but well-proportioned body.
It was as if even the light favored this boy, unwilling to miss any opportunity to touch his skin.
The boy had a face with sharp features, a straight nose, and an air of unruliness and determination between his brows.
His eyes, like the brightest stars in the deep night sky, sparkled with wisdom and gentleness, making them unforgettable at first glance.
Those eyes, with a fox-like curve, sometimes smiled, like a spring breeze, warming the heart.
At other times, it is as solemn as an abyss, as if it can see through all things in the world.
His black hair was tied up with a blue ribbon, gently stirred by the spring breeze, unadorned.
But it falls naturally over the shoulders, swaying in the wind, adding a touch of unadorned elegance.
He wore a simple blue robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, the fabric of which was luxurious.
His upright posture made him appear even more elegant, as if he were a young swordsman who had stepped out of an ancient painting, exuding an aura of transcendence from the mundane world.
As he walked, the boy's steps were steady yet agile, each step seemingly containing a certain rhythm, blending harmoniously with the surrounding environment.
His hands were lightly placed behind his back, his fingertips occasionally touching the long sword hanging at his waist.
The sword sheath was simple yet elegant, suggesting that he was not an ordinary scholar, but a young hero with martial arts skills.
On this moonlit night, the boy is like a work of art meticulously sculpted by nature.
Whether it's his handsome appearance or the charisma he exudes, it's impossible not to stop and admire him.
Moreover, he was not only a handsome young man, but also possessed an indescribable charm.
He will attract every passerby who brushes past him, leaving a deep impression that will linger for a long time.
"stop!"
The shouts of the pursuers grew closer and closer. Han Yue'e pulled Tao Ling'er and hid behind the boy, a resolute glint in her eyes.
The boy didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly.
"Hey kid, get out of our way!" the leader of the pursuers said menacingly.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
The boy was unusually calm and bold despite his young age.
As the first wave of attacks approached, the boy's figure flashed.
Like a dragon soaring into the sky, a long sword is drawn from its sheath.
The sword light flashed like mercury spilling onto the ground, dividing the night.
His swordsmanship is sharp yet delicate, with every move and stroke perfectly executed.
They protected the mother and daughter while cleverly driving back the enemies one by one.
Tao Ling'er hid in her mother's arms, watching the young man single-handedly hold off numerous masters.
His eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude.
The boy's appearance was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving them hope of escaping their desperate situation.
The sky was gradually turning a pale white, but fortunately, the pursuers were just small fry.
The boy was more than capable of dealing with them.
Finally, the last trace of the enemy disappeared into the dawn.
The young man sheathed his sword, breathing softly, and looked at the mother and daughter, a hint of tenderness appearing in his clear eyes for the first time:
"You are safe."
Han Yue'e stepped forward and bowed deeply:
"Thank you so much for saving our lives, young hero. My daughter and I have no way to repay you."
The boy shook his head slightly: "No need for thanks."
In the morning light, the boy said he would protect the mother and daughter as they traveled together.
On the way, Han Yue'e asked the boy why he was alone in the woods at such a young age.
The boy said that his father took him out hunting, and he got lost while chasing a rabbit.
Upon hearing this, Han Yue'e felt that the boy was remarkable, having gotten lost in the deep mountains and forests at such a young age.
How could they not be panicked at all, but instead calmly and composedly find a way out in the mountains and forests?
"Hey bro, aren't you scared? What if a tiger eats you?"
Tao Ling'er said timidly.
"It's alright, I've figured it out. If we keep heading east, we'll get out. I still have my sword, so I'm not afraid," the boy said.
"Hey sir, can I ask you your name and how old you are?"
Ling'er asked again.
"Little sister, I am ten years old and my name is Qi Yuxuan. What about you? What is your name and how old are you? Also, why are those people chasing you?"
The boy asked.
“My name is Tao Ling’er, and I am eight years old. I don’t know why they are chasing us,” Ling’er said.
Han Yue'e said nothing about "Tao Family Mystic Secrets," only that she had offended some people in the martial arts world.
When asked which family the young man belonged to, he claimed to be the son of Qi Jiangfeng.
Speaking of Qi Jiangfeng.
Han Yue'e immediately remembered that he was the master of the renowned Valley of Heartbreak, which was famous in the martial arts world for its superb swordsmanship.
Qi Jiangfeng of Jueqing Valley is an upright and kind person with a great reputation in the martial arts world.
It seems that Qi Yuxuan comes from a martial arts family, which is why he is proficient in various martial arts at such a young age.
More importantly, he learned his father's character.
They had long been dissatisfied with the open and covert struggles between sects, and especially hated the strong bullying the weak.
This night of life and death together left a deep impression on Tao Ling'er regarding Qi Yuxuan.
This also sowed the seeds for the complex and profound entanglement that would follow between them in the future.
In the torrent of fate, this childhood encounter will become one of the most precious memories of their lives.
