When Bai Chen's soul settled down and he opened his eyes, what came into view was a pink and yellow curtain and above his head were tassels swaying in the wind.
From time to time, I could smell the scent of sandalwood between my nostrils, which was quiet and beautiful.
Seeing that there was no danger, Bai Chen's whole body relaxed.
Now, this body is sleeping comfortably on the bed. The bedding covering it is a soft and silky silk quilt, and the clothes it wears are made of the finest silk fabric.
It seems that the client should be a woman of good status.
Next to the couch is a window with exquisitely carved window lattices, and some lifelike flowers and birds inlaid between the window lattices.
Outside the window are some thick tree trunks and some lush leaves.
Occasionally, a few wild flowers emerge from among the leaves. It doesn't look like an ordinary ancient courtyard, but more like the whole room is in a forest.
A sword was hung on the wooden wall near the window. The hilt of the sword was smooth and cast a dazzling halo under the slanting sunlight.
Not far from the window is a dressing table with the atmosphere of an ancient boudoir girl.
On the table stood an exquisite jewelry box and a bronze mirror.
Judging from the light outside the window, it should be the time when the client is taking a nap.
A girl who looked like a maid was sitting on a stool beside the bed, her elbows resting on the edge of the bed, her head supported by her palms, and she was dozing off like a chick eating rice.
The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a rosy little round face, very cute. When she dozed off, a thin transparent line flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
Bai Chenyue moved his body and the girl next to him woke up.
"Girl, you're awake, are you feeling better?"
Bai Chen didn't understand what was going on, so he nodded: "You go out first, I want to lie down for a while."
"Okay! If the girl has any problems, just call me." The maid stood up, lowered the gauze curtain for Bai Chen, and then left the room, carefully closing the door when she left.
The client's name is Meihuayan, the daughter of the leader of the martial arts world.
This time the world is a martial arts world.
The dynasty in which they lived was called Feng.
Because it was a large feudal state and the imperial court was extremely corrupt and incompetent, the entire country was plagued by internal and external troubles and the people were living in misery.
Heroes emerge in troubled times. In troubled times, bandits are prevalent, but chivalrous knights also emerge.
Of course, there are also some people who seek fame and reputation among them, doing some sneaky things under the name of chivalry.
Any family with a little means will pay a master to teach their children martial arts, or send their children to a martial arts sect to study.
Some martial arts geniuses have even become the targets of competition among some martial arts sects.
If a young man is walking on the street and suddenly someone says to him, "Hey, hey, in my opinion, you are born with a unique bone structure and extraordinary talent. You are a martial arts genius that is rare in a million years. Are you willing to become my disciple?"
Well, maybe what he said was true, maybe he really was a "martial arts detective" from some sect.
Of course, there are also some human traffickers among them, who lure people away under the guise of martial arts detectives and then sell them.
Making them lifelong slaves is the lightest punishment. The worst punishment is to sell them directly to evil sects to be made into medicine men, turning them into walking corpses, and from then on they become enslaved, mindless living dead.
The client's father, Mei Mantian, is the leader of the Huaishan School.
The entire Huaishan Sect is located in the steep mountains and seems to be living an isolated life, but in fact, the sect's disciples are spread all over the martial arts world.
In some large and medium-sized cities, there are branches of the Huaishan Sect, which manage the sect’s industries.
Therefore, the Huaishan School has a very high prestige in the entire martial arts world and is known as the number one school in the martial arts world.
Mei Mantian is a knight with unparalleled martial arts skills. He has been famous in the martial arts world for more than thirty years and has been in charge of the Huaishan Sect for more than twenty years.
He managed a sect that was once unable to make ends meet and turned it into a prosperous and wealthy sect, jumping from seventh place in the martial arts world to first. He was truly a man of great talent.
His most famous martial art is the Five Thunder Skill. Anyone who has fought with him has lost to him.
The Huaishan School also has a very powerful internal skill called 'Guiyi Shenggong', which is regarded by people in the martial arts world as the best internal skill.
This is the Huaishan School's inheritance that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Countless people have died in the past trying to steal this skill from Huaishan.
Legend has it that when this skill is practiced to the highest level, one can become invulnerable to swords and guns.
Some even make it sound miraculous, saying that by practicing this skill one can live to 200 years old, or even longer.
At the age of only 45, Mei Mantian had already practiced this technique to the eighth level, which was the highest level ever achieved by the head of the Huaishan School.
With his unparalleled martial arts skills, he is already invincible.
He was highly respected and was later elected to the position of leader of the martial arts world.
The client, Mei Huayan, is the youngest daughter of Mei Mantian. She is beautiful. As the daughter of the head of a sect, although her martial arts skills are not very good, she is also well-known in the martial arts world.
She is one of the ten most beautiful women in the world.
Mei Huayan also has a brother named Mei Qingfeng, who is extremely talented and a martial arts prodigy.
He has already practiced the 'Return to Oneness Sacred Art' to the fifth level. At only eighteen years old, he is already an extraordinary person.
Moreover, the 'Five Thunder Art' has also been practiced to perfection by the eldest brother.
Dad said that my eldest brother’s future achievements will surpass his.
As for swordsmanship, my elder brother has also mastered it to perfection. It is said that young men of the same generation who had fought with him in the martial arts world were defeated within three moves.
He is known as the No. 1 Young Master in the underworld.
Dad has high hopes for his only son. He hopes that he can succeed him as the next head of the Huaishan Sect or the leader of the martial arts world.
The only flaw is his daughter Meihuayan. Although she is talented, she has been playful and naive since she was young and doesn't like to practice martial arts. At the age of twelve, she only knows a little bit of Kung Fu.
At the beginning, the parents did try to pressure their youngest daughter for a while, but she just threw tantrums, acted coquettishly, and cried, saying she didn't want to practice martial arts.
In the end, my parents didn't force me anymore.
It doesn’t matter if my soft and cute daughter doesn’t like to practice martial arts. Anyway, she doesn’t have to inherit my legacy. She can just find a strong man who likes her daughter to marry in the future.
This is a very traditional idea, a social phenomenon in an ancient context.
Meihuayan has five senior brothers and two senior sisters. All seven of them were raised by their father and mother.
He is considered a direct disciple and the core of the Huaishan School.
The eldest senior brother Mei Junyan has a great talent for martial arts, so his father focuses on training him, hoping that he can become his son’s right-hand man in the future.
The second senior brother Mei Zhiyuan had average talent in martial arts, but was very good at business, so he was assigned to manage the sect's industry when he was very young.
The third brother Medulin is also talented, but he has a defect. One of his ears has been injured, so he is a little disabled.
However, Third Senior Brother's legs are extremely powerful. To help him with this skill, Dad even searched the world for a powerful martial arts secret book called "Seven-Step Continuous Kicks" and gave it to him.
