Bad things happen often - Chapter 150
At first sight, she never imagined such an ending. Afterwards, through all that she experienced, she gave up all her hopes. But today, her beautiful dream has actually come true. And in such a perfect way. Tsk, wouldn't you say she's achieved both fame and fortune, a perfect ending?
She almost burst out laughing when she thought of this.
Suddenly, she remembered something very serious.
Thinking back to when she and Lian Zhao were ambushed, he believed her fabricated stories without question, clearly showing how little he knew about matters of the heart… and that line, “This is something that can only be done after marriage”…
With a slight frown, scenes from the past inexplicably surfaced in her mind.
In the past, when her master painted erotic pictures to sell for money, she would help him by grinding ink or tying the threads. However, her master refused to let her help with the painting no matter what.
Everyone is curious, so she naturally wouldn't be so obedient.
So one day, she proudly showed her master the copy she had made.
The master immediately spat out his tea.
After a long while, he came to his senses, patted Xiaoxiao's head helplessly, and said: Xiaoxiao... You can draw this kind of picture for your husband in the future, understand?
She agreed verbally, but didn't really believe it. In any case, what you learn is always useful.
It's always useful... After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xiao resolutely lifted the veil, got up and walked to the table, and found the Four Treasures of the Study.
She spread out the paper, dripped water, ground the ink... and then without hesitation, she began to draw, sketching based on her memory...
With a sly smile, she carefully finished drawing the man and was about to draw the woman when suddenly, the door was pushed open. Several burly men rushed in, looking anxious.
Wearing a pink dress, Bizi rushed over, looking apologetic, and said, "Alliance Leader, they said they had urgent business and forced their way in. I couldn't stop them..."
Xiao Xiao was stunned, holding her pen, looking at those people.
One of them cried out, "Alliance Leader, save us!"
Xiao Xiao was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
The man continued, “We are disciples of the Sea Dragon Gang. We came to Lin’an to attend the ceremony because we admire the leader’s demeanor. However, due to our carelessness, a conflict broke out between our disciples and the Seventy-Two Islands of the East Sea… During the fight, a disciple accidentally destroyed the congratulatory gift that the East Sea had prepared for the leader. Now… the disciples of the East Sea are threatening to destroy our Sea Dragon Gang, and their forces have already gathered in the streets. We beg the leader to intervene and save our brothers’ lives.”
A slight helplessness welled up within her. "But I..."
Seeing this, another person said, "Alliance Leader, if we weren't desperate, how would we dare to break into your bridal chamber? But the East Sea is arrogant and ruthless. Moreover, it has allied with the South Sea and has the support of the imperial court. Under heaven, only the Alliance Leader has the ability to resolve this. Please, you must save us!"
Xiao Xiao was even more helpless, "The key is me..."
When she tried to refuse, the men knelt down and pleaded, "Alliance Leader!!!"
Xiao Xiao was completely helpless.
At this moment, Lian Zhao arrived after hearing the news, and upon seeing the situation, his expression became even more helpless.
Xiao Xiao looked at him with an innocent expression.
"Alliance Leader!!! If the Alliance Leader does not agree, we will all die. Now, we will commit suicide..." The group said with extreme grief and indignation.
Xiao Xiao was utterly shocked. This…
Upon hearing this, Lian Zhao sighed heavily, saying helplessly, "Xiao Xiao, go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back..."
As soon as he spoke, the burly men stepped forward, helped Xiao Xiao up, and led her outside.
"Wait, my..." Xiao Xiao still held the pen in her hand, her face full of terror. She glanced at the drawings on the table and hurriedly said to Lian Zhao, "Make sure those drawings are kept safe, don't let anyone see them!"
Although Lian Zhao was puzzled, he nodded and agreed.
As the burly men were leaving, they glanced at the painting a few times and then seemed to understand something.
...
A few days later, rumors spread throughout the martial arts world that Zuo Xiaoxiao, the leader of the martial arts alliance, was a genius of his time, skilled in both literature and martial arts. On his wedding day, he supposedly created a peerless martial arts technique and drew up a diagram and manual. That manual was now kept in the Lian family of the Divine Arrow Sect. Legend has it that if one could master the martial arts in this manual, one could dominate the martial arts world and unify the world.
Not long after this rumor appeared, Lian Zhao, the head of the Lian family, declared that if anyone dared to covet this secret manual, he would kill them one by one, and kill two of them.
As a result, the legend of the secret manual became more and more real, and the interest of martial arts practitioners soared even higher.
Xiao Xiao is innocent, Xiao Xiao is helpless.
In short, folk tales are not to be believed...
However, new legends continue to emerge, while old ones begin to fade from memory and eventually disappear into the gossip of ordinary people...
