Chapter 1 - Separation

Two hundred years ago, during a great battle among demons, Ancestor Beichen sacrificed himself to the demons.

Since then, the world has been in continuous peace, why is it called 'continuous peace'? Because wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As long as there are people, the East and West are short, and the lid of the pot touches the spoon, it is always troublesome. They can always get into fights because of trivial matters. Even if Beichen Laozu opens the coffin board and comes back to life, there is no way to solve this problem.

Under the witness of martial arts practitioners from all over the world, the six descendants left behind by Beichen Ancestor held a breathtaking and scenic funeral for him. Then, these six descendants and their families settled obediently on the cliffs of Ancestor's residence, practicing martial arts and reading books every day, and occasionally holding memorial meetings to remember Ancestor's wise past.

The so-called tree branches big. Just over twenty years later, six descendants had already formed groups of sons, daughters, and nephews. At this time, they discovered three things.

Firstly, although they are as close as siblings and rarely have any conflicts except for exchanging small fists and punches during daily sparring, their wives, children, disciples, and fellow disciples may not necessarily have such conflicts.

Secondly, they originally thought that after their ancestor passed away, the six of them had no one to rely on and needed to huddle together for warmth. However, as their children and grandchildren traveled down the mountain, they discovered that the one and a half claws they had learned from Ancestor Beichen were already enough to dominate the world.

Thirdly, as the saying goes, light and shadow walk together. Although the demons have been eliminated, it only takes about ten years for a demon cult to emerge in the martial arts world. It is said that the death of Beichen Patriarch was also partly due to the ancestors of the Demon Cult. How could Beichen descendants stand idly by? Therefore, they decided to settle down and establish factions in various places to guard against the invasion of the Demon Cult.

The conclusion can be summed up in two words: separation.

As for the past nearly two hundred years ago, Cai Han, five years old, once said roast when reciting the Zupu: "It's just family separation. They have to write so many great truths in a long and long time, as if they had never quarreled on the cliffs of thousands of rivers and mountains in those years..."

This remark was met with an unskilled burst of frustration from his sister: "I really have no knowledge. Can a branch of a prestigious and upright family be called a branch

Cai Han touched his forehead and said, "What should we call it

Cai Zhao, the little girl, looked righteous and said, "Of course, it was to uphold justice in the world that the descendants of Beichen endured the pain of separation and scattered everywhere, just to prevent evil demons and outsiders from taking advantage of the situation and causing harm to the world

This is what she just heard a few days ago while squatting in front of Uncle Shaguo's stall and munching on braised chicken legs - the most important thing in wandering the rivers and lakes is choking. Jianghu people may not always take action, but choking is something that comes when they come across it.

Well said, my family Zhaozhao spoke very well. In the future, whether you do things beautifully or not, you must speak beautifully. "Their aunt Cai Pingshu leaned against the bed and clapped. Although she was already weak and difficult to get up at that time, her wax yellow and thin face still smiled freely and playfully.

Cai Pingchun, the biological father of Miss Cai's younger brother, sat silently on the side. As a child with insufficient acting skills, he couldn't put on a smile. Mrs. Cai, Ning Xiaofeng, lowered her head by the window and blew soup medicine, and a big tear fell into the medicine bowl.

They knew about this day a long time ago, but when it really came, they still felt heartbroken.

Twelve year old Miss Cai stood aside, with thick eyelashes and clear eyes that seemed to faintly sense the impending sadness.

Cai Pingshu passed away in a few days, and Cai Zhao fell seriously ill. He devoted three years of filial piety to her. Cai Pingchun immediately suggested that Cai Zhao should leave the valley and become a disciple. He has already contacted all the disciples, and is the only Qingque Sect left on the cliffs of Wanshui Qianshan after the separation of the descendants of Beichen. He is known as the leader of the world's first martial arts sect, which is quite impressive.

Cai Zhao, the little girl, immediately expressed that she had not completely calmed down her sadness and that it would be better to go out and pay respects to her teacher more slowly.

If you keep going slowly, you'll be eighteen! "Cai Pingchun threatened sternly," If you don't bow down to someone else's house before the age of eighteen, don't you want to be a witch

Cai Zhao furrowed his delicate eyebrows and said, "I like to stay at home. I can't get used to eating or living outside. Dad, I can't even step out of the front door, can I become a witch out of thin air

Are you unfamiliar with the owner and assistant of a shop from the entrance to the end of the town? This can also be considered as having two doors and no exit? It's common in the streets and alleys of the town... "Ning Xiaofeng sneered and immediately straightened his face when he saw her husband give a nod.

Your great aunt's parents thought the same way back then, thinking that their daughter was weak and sickly, and couldn't even walk to the town to buy a box of rouge. How could something happen if she stayed at home like this? As a result, the witch who was taught by the demonic sect didn't have as much attention as she caused! You should stay on the cliffs of the mountains and rivers for three years honestly, whether you learn martial arts or not, just to save others from gossip - this is also your aunt's order

Your mother is absolutely right, "Cai Pingchun slammed the table and the matter was settled.

Cai Zhao's tender cheeks bulged with deep resentment in his heart.

Aunt Cai Pingshu was the most respected person in Cai Zhao's life. She was upright and upright throughout her life, and could be regarded as a shining light of righteousness. However, she had little ambition since childhood. She only hoped to get enough sleep and dip her fingers in water to paint herself pink and delicious, and then have nothing else to ask for in life.

Now that this person has passed away, besides the pain, Cai Zhao also hopes to follow the character and words of her ancestors and fulfill Cai Pingshu's wishes... But if she doesn't have to leave Luoying Valley, she can follow in other ways.

So conflicted, it's all because the Cai family in Luoying Valley has a strange fate - the Cai family's daughter must bow down to another family and cannot grow up in her own home, otherwise it could be either a minor conflict or a major disaster.

At the beginning, the descendants of Beichen lived on the cliffs of Wanshui Qianshan, and the six families' children were not separated from each other. Often, it was the son of the Jia family who learned swordsmanship from the uncle of the Yi family, the uncle of the Bing family who learned swordsmanship, and the elder brother of the Ding family who learned horseback riding to flirt with his younger sister. At that time, the Cai family's daughter's problem was not yet obvious, and she was struggling with her younger sister to prevent any further trouble.

Once the family split, Cai Jiatou's daughter, who had grown up in her own home, embarked on the path of a witch with great courage - rebellious and rebellious, Bai Chang had a high talent. No matter how much her elder brother tried to persuade her, she still went her own way, searching for martial arts secrets and ferocious beasts like raptors in every corner of the martial arts world. Later, she indeed caused a big disaster.

This female ancestor was quite pleased and left without waiting for others to settle accounts with her. She disappeared from the martial arts world and during those decades, the martial arts practitioners of the world, including Tiling Yinggu, would only shake their heads.

After one or two generations, skipping several 'ordinary level' unworthy daughters, the female demon leader of the Cai family innovated and not only acted recklessly without distinguishing right from wrong, but also colluded with the big demon leader of the demon cult. In the end, she forced her own father to threaten to exterminate her family and personally led righteous people to besiege and clean up the demon cult. However, this matter was later left unresolved because this female ancestor also followed suit and disappeared without a trace.

Although the predecessors had brilliant achievements, it was Cai Zhao's great grandmother, who was said to have been as weak as a hair for eleven months of the year, who truly confirmed the eerie fate of the Cai family.

Originally, under nearly a hundred years of strict defense and constant sending of their daughter to brother sects for disaster relief, the Cai family has not had a witch for a long time. When this naturally deficient great aunt was born, Cai Guzhu and his wife felt sorry for their daughter's weak and sickly condition, and couldn't help but relax their vigilance, leaving her at home to recuperate. Unexpectedly, it later sparked a unique bloody storm in the martial arts world.

From then on, the Cai family dared not have a sense of luck anymore. Whenever they gave birth to a daughter, they would honestly contact their brother sects to see which sect leader had a good temper, relaxed rules, and most importantly, a graceful style. They would send their daughter over to stay for a few years, not to study and become a modern-day female hero, but only to hope for no illness or disaster, good luck, and a son-in-law to come back.

For example, Cai Zhao's aunt Cai Pingshu was admitted to the Peiqiong Mountain Villa in the Beichen Six Schools at the age of ten.

Moreover, looking at it the other way around, as long as the daughters of the Cai family obediently bow down to other sects, they will grow up to be either gentle and virtuous, or deeply understand righteousness. Currently, the ceiling of the Cai family's daughters is a female hero named Cai Pingshu. Not only did she become exceptionally talented and famous from a young age, but she also managed to turn the tide and make her marriage successful and her family happy.

The past can serve as a lesson. Due to the harsh historical environment, Cai Zhao had to leave home and go on a long journey to learn from his teacher and avoid disasters.

Cai Gu, who had been accustomed to being commanded by his sister Cai Pingshu since childhood, was quite efficient in organizing household affairs. However, in just three days, he had packed his soft and delicate clothes and servants, and could go to the Qingque Mansion in Jiuli Mountain.

On the day of departure, there was a sea of people from Gu Min and the town who came to bid farewell. Cai Zhao, tears streaming down her face, bit her handkerchief and waved outside the car. Ning Xiaofeng pulled her daughter back.

Cai Zhao sighed with tears in his eyes and said, "Without me, how lonely the shopkeepers of those many shops in town would be

Ning Xiaofeng sneered and said, "Look outside the car, are those coming to see you off in tears or with joy

Cai Zhao rushed to the car window and saw that the situation was indeed as her own mother had said. She immediately stopped crying and felt a bit sad and angry: "Indeed, there are many unfaithful people in the world - the owner of that rouge shop said I was the most discerning customer he had ever met, and the silk shop also said a few days ago that he was fortunate to have met a buyer like me who knew every detail

Ning Xiaofeng said leisurely, "Did they say something ironic

Mom, what's the ironic twist of 'San Sheng Fu Xing'? "Cai Han, the child, was curious.

Ning Xiaofeng dug his ears and said, "Blood mold that has been poured for three lifetimes

Cai Han sat in his father's arms and giggled loudly.

Cai Zhao angrily said, "These shops are really short-sighted and profit seeking. The reason why our Luoying Town has become the most popular market within a hundred miles in just over ten years is precisely because we have always adhered to my aunt's wishes. Whether selling food, clothing, or dental services, we must strive to be fair to the elderly, strive for excellence, compare prices from three different stores, and have a good reputation

Cai Xiaohan grumbled: "But Sister is too particular. When you eat a bowl of Wonton, you need to have seven parts of the front leg meat and three parts of the shrimp paste. Why not the back leg meat?"

Cai Zhao looked surprised: "If you can make do with stewed bone and soy sauce, you can't eat Wonton in clear soup. Of course, the front leg meat is needed, while the back leg meat is so thick and hard."

The remaining three members of the Cai family shook their heads together - there was so little meat in the small Wonton that the devil could eat the front and rear legs.

Cai Zhao shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "You guys are too careless. Why are the craftsmanship of so many century old shops stagnant? It's just your careless customers who are used to it. Ah, Auntie is right. I have devoted my heart and blood to the world, but the world has many misunderstandings about me

The Cai couple couldn't bear it anymore and covered their ears together.

Cai Zhao struggled to plead again and said, "Dad, Mom, since it doesn't matter whether we learn martial arts or not, why do we have to go to the Qingque Sect? I heard that we have opened a new Qingzhu Gang outside the Luoying Valley, and I think it's good. I will go and apprentice to the leader of that gang. I can go out in the morning and go back to the town to sleep at night

Cai Pingchun frowned and said, "The Qingzhu Gang was originally formed by brothers who drew bamboo rafts on the river. They can only be considered as half of the people in the martial arts world

Dad, you can't say that. Wang, the leader of the gang, also has some reputation for his Seven Forty Nine Way Rowing Stick technique

Ning Xiaofeng said leisurely, "Isn't that the name you came up with for someone a few months ago and then urged Uncle Shaguo to tell that gang leader

Cai Zhao chuckled awkwardly.

Ning Xiaofeng continued, "To say that the Qingzhu Gang's respect for the last place in the martial arts world is considered a sign of face, but if you would rather go there than go to the Qingque Sect, then our world's first sect may not look good on face. However, to be honest, I also don't approve of your future master father

Cai Pingchun let out a low cough.

Your future master's wife, "Ning Xiaofeng said in a timely manner," but your aunt personally agreed to go to Qingque Sect. You should weigh it yourself

Cai Zhao let out a small sigh and said, "... okay
