Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

Since childhood, Yan Xin, was a daughter who grew up surrounded only by her senior male brothers and couldn’t handle this onslaught of cuteness.

Since they were going to Jinling together, they naturally had to return to the inn to get their luggage.

Yan Xin had a very easy-going personality, totally void of the weird temper and hobbies that were said to exist when it came to martial arts Masters. Lin Feilu said they would have to return to the inn first, so she trailed along. When Lin Feilu said they would share a carriage together, Yan Xin also said it wasn’t an issue for her.

At any rate, she was adorable as a conversation partner. When she was not involved in the world of fighting, she seemed like an honest and pure girl.

Throughout the journey, Lin Feilu didn’t get to know much about the significant events in Jinling, so she asked, “Sister Yan Xin, what happened in Jinling? Why is everyone going there?”

Yan Xin explained, “This time, people from all over the world will gather in Jinling because of the Jimo Sword Manual kept for the Lu family. Not long ago, there was news that the Lu family’s son used the Jimo sword technique while he was competing with others. In the past, they merely had the right to keep it, so the Lu family members stealthily learning the Jimo swordsmanship without authorization caused public anger in the martial arts realm. Currently, they will ask the Lu family to provide an explanation.”

Lin Feilu wondered, “Doesn’t the Lu family own that sword manual?”

Yan Xin shook her head, “No, that is the unique swordsmanship technique of the Jimo Hero. Back then, the Jimo Hero hatched a plot to escape to Jinling and was rescued by the Lu family. Before his death, the Jimo Sword Manual was handed over to the Lu family for safekeeping. In the future, whoever could eradicate the Thirteen Villages of Chixiao will inherit Jimo’s last words in the form of a manual.”

After Yan Xin’s explanation, Lin Feilu finally understood the twists and turns of the incident.

Jimo Wu was a well-known solo swordsman in the arena back then as he had a humble, righteous, and possessed a morally upright character. The Thirteen Villages of Chixiao was a group of bandits who occupied the mountains as kings. At that time, Jimo Wu evoked grudges with the Thirteen Villages to save others. However, the bandits took advantage of his absence to kill his wife and child.

Since then, both sides have been at each other’s throats endlessly. When Jimo Wu was alive, he slaughtered every member of the bandits that he came across and severely damaged the vitality of Thirteen Villages.

It was a pity that the Thirteen Villages’ power was very strong as they specifically took in the wicked, who had nowhere else to go and had nothing to lose. Jimo Wu alone was unable to eradicate all of them.

So when he died of serious injuries, he left his last words.

Whoever could eliminate the Thirteen Villages would be the inheritor of the Jimo Sword Manual.

Over the years, martial artists all over the country encountered the Thirteen Villages quite often. However, the Thirteen Villages was a group of desperadoes who didn’t mind losing their lives in a fight, whereas the other heroes and martial artists still had things to live for. Due to that, no one truly wanted to risk their lives for a fight, resulting in the failure of the group’s eradication thus far.

The Lu family held the legacy and should have taken good care of the hero’s relics with all their might. Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan, the eldest son of the Lu family, had secretly learned the Jimo swordsmanship techniques. With a revelation such as that, it was apparent that the public wasn’t going to put up with it.

Some of them went ahead to seek explanations from the Lu family while others wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize the manual for their own somehow. This was the reason as to why Jinling City was filled with both the good and bad, making the city rather lively.
