Cao Shangfei's eyes flashed with nostalgia, and he continued, "I, Cao Shangfei, have never been to school, so I don't know the words on the stone wall, but I am sure that this must be a martial arts secret."

As to why he was so sure, it all started with an accidental tea-drinking experience.

A down-and-out boy fell off a cliff and learned a unique martial art. Since then, this story has been deeply engraved in his mind. There is no other reason, but the experience of the down-and-out boy is so similar to his, so he has always fantasized about such a day.

"So, I started practicing with these guys, and finally learned the peerless magic skill 'Flying on the Grass'."

Shang Hongxiu looked at the stone wall, then at Cao Shangfei, who should be in his thirties but looked like he was in his seventies or eighties. She thought that he might have gone astray in his practice and become possessed.

"I always thought this stuff was fake." Shang Hongxiu complained in her heart.

Bai Qingge followed suit and said, "You can actually tell the difference between what is true and what is false in the book."

"..."

Shang Hongxiu knew she couldn't win the argument, so she simply changed her words, "How could he possibly do something that even my father couldn't do?"

Is this the judgment? It makes sense.

This world of low-level martial arts really has nothing special about it. If you can beat five strong men alone, you can be considered a master. Even if you are more powerful, you will not be able to withstand ten people attacking you together.

The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and interests.

After following the little guy for a walk, her martial arts dream in this world was almost shattered.

What I imagined was a figure wearing fluttering white clothes, holding a three-foot-long sword in his hand, and every strike of his sword drew no blood.

But in reality, if you wear white clothes, the blood will not stain them first before they are washed away by the mud.

As for why this world is called the world of martial arts, it is probably because the world is divided between the people of the martial arts world and the imperial court.

After all, those grassroots officials basically bought their positions from higher-ups after accumulating capital.

This has led to the prevalence of a wild and unruly spirit in small places, where people basically refuse to obey the king and only listen to orders from above. There is basically only one thing they pursue, which is to suppress the people below them and make a lot of money while they can still sit in this position.

I'm afraid that soon slogans like "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of a different kind?" will appear everywhere.

This world is a mess.

When Bai Qingge first figured this out, his pectoral muscles were in great pain. This was not at all martial arts-like.

It would have been fine if the simulator had cheated her before, but now it has become a fraud.

Shang Hongxiu looked at the words on the stone wall and began to memorize them silently in her heart, thinking as she wrote.

God is so unfair. Such a unique skill that can allow one to travel hundreds of miles a day has fallen into the hands of a flower thief. I'm afraid no one can catch him.

Fortunately, this guy looks like he is about to die, so he probably won't be doing evil for a few more years.

"Isn't this even more tragic? The perpetrator cannot be handed over to the victim for punishment, and cannot be judged by law. We can only hope that he dies of old age without doing any evil. It sounds really ironic." Bai Qingge interrupted.

"What can we do? No one can catch up with him.

"I don't know which senior is so stupid that he didn't pass on such a good secret skill to the next generation, but carved it on the stone wall for no reason. Now, it has been learned by the flower thief.

"If he knew, he would be so angry that he would open the coffin." Shang Hongxiu condemned in her heart the guy who scribbled on the stone wall without any sense of merit.

Bai Qingge coughed twice to interrupt Shang Hongxiu, "Ahem, now is not the time to think about these things, let's think about how to get out of this predicament first."

"Besides learning the unique skills on the wall, is there any other way?" It's easy to say.

“Let’s not talk about your talent first. You can’t learn it in such a short time. Even if you learn it, can you escape from Cao Shangfei’s palm?

"He started learning a year earlier than you, and even used up his entire life. Unless you study so recklessly..."

"Can we surpass his speed?" Shang Hongxiu asked excitedly.

"No, you will age faster. Maybe by then he will really not be interested in you anymore. But you can't guarantee that he will kill you to silence you after getting the money."

"Thank you for your reminder."

Being in this situation and this mysterious man playing a joke on her, she should have been angry, but she couldn't because she had been used to it. Now she only felt fear and terror.

If I were to make a sound directly with my mouth now, I would not be able to conceal the trembling in my throat.

Bai Qingge pretended not to understand Shang Hongxiu's tone and replied leisurely: "You're welcome. After all, I'm here to help you."

"Miss Shang, you should have a good rest here. I will buy you some dry food and find out about the situation at the Sword Forging Villa. Then we can set off. By then, you will be free."

Cao Shangfei bowed in a very formal manner, but Shang Hongxiu, who knew his true face, could no longer associate him with the kind old man.

Shang Hongxiu nodded in response.

"You see, he left you here because he was confident that you wouldn't be able to learn in such a short time... What's wrong with you?"

Shang Hongxiu suddenly became silent. After a while, she spoke with a trembling voice, "My legs won't obey me."

She always thought Shang Hongxiu was very calm. After all, she was just a little girl and she couldn't ask for too much.

Also, this little girl is really two-faced.

"What are you doing again?"

After stretching her hands and feet, Shang Hongxiu knocked on the stone wall and listened there.

"See if there is a secret door, or if we can find something useful."

"..."

Not quite as calm, but almost.

"You've read too many novels, right? Could it be possible that Cao Shangfei would leave a bundle of ropes for you to use?"

This stone cave was created based on Cao Shangfei's thoughts. Since he had such an ideal as peerless lightness skill, how could he possibly install a passage out of the cave? The same goes for the rope.

Moreover, the little guy had never met Cao Shangfei and didn't know him, so how could his ability work?

I have a bad feeling.

"Found it!" Shang Hongxiu's surprised shout brought Bai Qingge back to his senses.

Seeing the hemp rope as thick as a thumb, Bai Qingge couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It really does!"

What should I do with this guy Cao Shangfei?

"Are you going to use this rope to climb down?"

Looking at Shang Hongxiu who was already looking for enough food, Bai Qingge asked.

Finally, Shang Hongxiu chose the stone table base that was carved out in the cave.

"Hey, this won't work. Even if the rope is long enough, you can't climb down with your skinny arms and legs."
