Three days after leaving the bustling and extraordinary market, the sun slowly climbed into the sky, casting golden sunlight and a gentle breeze. Lin'er and Qingyang strolled slowly along the ancient official road, with willow trees swaying in the wind, creating a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. In the distance, the continuous mountain peaks appeared particularly magnificent under the sunlight, while a small stream flowed leisurely below, emitting a pleasant sound of flowing water. 0
 
The tranquility and beauty of this moment made it tempting to linger, but the encounters and dangers of the world often lurked within such tranquility. 0
 
 
Walking on the dusty road, Lin'er and Qingyang both maintained a vigilant attitude. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared on the distant horizon, rushing towards them at great speed, the thunderous sound of hooves echoing through the tranquil valley. The person was dressed in loose-fitting clothes, with disheveled short hair dancing in the wind, and a smiling face like a flower. It was none other than the renowned figure in the martial arts world known for his humor and wit, Shi Potian. 0
 
Shi Potian spotted Lin'er and Qingyang ahead, slowly reining in his horse. His roaring laughter reverberated through the valley as he joyfully patted his beloved horse, shouting to them, "Haha, isn't this the legendary duo Qingyang and Lin'er? Your heroic deeds are well known throughout the martial arts world!" His laughter carried a sense of admiration and respect. 0
 
 
Qingyang gave a slight smile and exchanged a glance with Lin'er, and they both knew that this encounter was extraordinary. Qingyang responded, "Brother Shi, I have long admired your reputation. It is truly an honor to meet you today." 0
 
After a joyful encounter with Shi Potian, they decided to travel together and experience the world. As their journey progressed, they arrived at a small town surrounded by green trees. 0
 
 
In the teahouse, Lin'er was feeling somewhat excited, glancing out the window from time to time as if waiting for something. Suddenly, a group of ruffians burst in from outside, the leader brandishing a long knife and scanning the teahouse menacingly, seemingly searching for a specific target. 0
 
Qingyang and Shi Potian immediately became alert, and in this critical moment, the window shattered and a figure leaped in, swiftly repelling several of the ruffians. As the figure came to a stop, Qingyang and Shi Potian were astonished to find that the newcomer was none other than the legendary Red Dust Maiden of the martial world. 0
 
 
The movements of Hongchen are agile and decisive. With a turn, she repels several villains, her figure appearing mysterious and alluring in the sunlight. Her eyes are deep and unreadable, devoid of any emotional fluctuations but carrying a sense of vigilance. She glances at Qingyang and Shi Potian, then looks at Lin'er, as if she has found something on her. 0
 
Qingyang politely greets Hongchen, "Is this the renowned heroine Hongchen? I've heard so much about you." Hongchen nods slightly, remaining silent and coldly appraising them. Shi Potian laughs, "Since we've coincidentally met, why don't we travel together for a while? What do you think, Brother Feng?" Qingyang and Lin'er exchange a glance, acknowledging that in the world of martial arts, all are welcome, and agree readily. 0
 
 
When they crossed into a deep and dark forest, the surrounding silence seemed to foreshadow something ominous. The shadows between the trees seemed to be whispering, and the gentle breeze through the woods brought an unknown warning. Suddenly, the silence of the forest was shattered as several figures leaped down from the trees. They were dressed in purple battle robes, with their faces covered and long shadows trailing behind them, like ghosts in the night. 0
 
These mysterious enemies seemed to have been lying in wait, anticipating their arrival. Their target was directly aimed at Lin'er and Qingyang, their movements agile and ruthless, each action exuding a deadly threat. Lin'er and Qingyang drew their swords to meet the attack, and the glint of their blades cut through the forest with a cold light. Shi Potian and Hongchen also displayed their martial skills, with Shi Potian wielding his single blade, the blade's wind howling, and Hongchen's long whip moving like a spirit snake, agile and deadly. 0
 
 
The intense battle unfolded in the dense forest, with every corner filled with danger and the unknown. Lin'er and Qingyang cooperated seamlessly, their swordsmanship and sword intent echoing each other, driving back one enemy after another. Shi Potian's knife skills were unparalleled, with each strike seeming capable of splitting rocks, while Hongchen's whip was incredibly agile, making it impossible for the enemy to predict each lash. 0
 
The sound of swords and knives clashing echoed through the dense forest, with every moment filled with the test of life and death. With each other's assistance, they finally succeeded in repelling the man in purple, but it also made them feel the danger of this journey. 0
 
 
After the dust of the battle settled, the four of them found a relatively quiet place in the jungle to rest. Qingyang took out some simple medicine stones to treat everyone's wounds. Red Dust's gaze seemed to soften slightly, but still maintained a calm and reserved demeanor. Shi Potian laughed heartily, praising Lin'er and Qingyang for their courage and martial skills. 0
 
On the way, they suddenly heard cries for help ahead, and they all quickened their pace. Passing through the dense forest, they arrived at a small village where a few fierce bullies were bullying the villagers and robbing them of their food and belongings. 0
 
 
Qingyang frowned, pointing a sword at the bullies and coldly said, "Release those commoners!" Shi Potian and Hongchen also prepared for battle at the same time. 0
 
Seeing this, the bullies burst into laughter. The leader sneered, "What kind of thing dares to act tough in front of me?" Then they rushed forward, attempting to surround the four of them. 0
 
 
However, they clearly underestimated Lin'er and Qingyang, as well as Shi Potian and Hongchen's martial arts. Within a few rounds, the bullies were beaten and defeated. 0
 
The villagers saw someone standing up for justice and thanked them one after another. One elderly man said excitedly, "Thank you to all the heroes for saving us. We have been oppressed by these bullies for years, and today we finally see the dawn." 0
 
 
Shi Potian laughed heartily, patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Old man, these are things we should do. But the world is dangerous, and we cannot stay here often. Your village needs to be more careful." 0
 
The villagers were grateful and brought out the best food and wine to entertain the four heroes. As night fell and the bright moon hung high, the four sat under a big tree in the village, talking about their experiences in the martial world, as well as their missions and future paths. 0
 
 
The moonlight fell on the four of them like water, adding a touch of poetry and gentleness to the tranquil village. They sat around under the big tree, raising their cups to drink together, and the moonlit wine seemed to carry a hint of coolness and sweetness. 0
 
Qingyang raised his cup and said, "Today's events have given me much to ponder. Although the martial world is vast, it is only with people of integrity that it becomes truly exceptional." His words revealed his expectations and ideals for the martial world. 0
 
 
Shi Potian laughed heartily and said, "Well said! Well said! Although we each have our own desires, it is also fate that we can meet in this vast world. Tonight, let's open our hearts and talk freely, isn't it joyful?" 0
 
With a gentle smile, Red Dust smiled for the first time tonight, although faint, it also brought a sense of unusual warmth to Qingyang and Lin'er. 0
 
 
Lin'er sighed softly and said, "Everyone has their own mission and responsibility, and we are no exception. Although the journey is tough, with each other's company, we don't feel lonely or burdened." 0
 
Shi Potian raised his glass and said, "Then let's wish each other to fulfill our missions and not disappoint this life!" With that, the four of them clinked their glasses, producing a clear sound. The shadows of the cups sparkled in the moonlight, as if bearing witness to their words and friendship. 0
 
 
They chatted about many things, from their respective pasts to their hopes for the future, from the right and wrong in the martial arts world to the impermanence of worldly affairs. The moonlight gradually turned from deep to pale, and the dawn light slowly rose. 0
 
As the sky gradually brightened, Shi Potian and Hongchen both expressed their farewells. Shi Potian slapped Qingyang and Lin'er on the shoulders in a hearty manner, saying, "Young brother, young lady, the road is still long. I hope that when we meet again, we can all smile at the world and at life!" 0
 
 
Red Dust nodded gently and said, "Have a safe journey." Her words were simple, but they contained a deep blessing. 0
 
Qingyang and Lin'er waved goodbye, watching their gradually receding figures with emotion in their hearts. 0
 
 
The sunlight sprinkles on the new road, their figures gradually moving away in the morning light, walking in this mysterious and vast world. 0
