Chapter 1 A Narrow Escape

Everyone was stunned when the plump middle-aged woman called out Chen Xiao's name!

Even Chen Xiao was taken aback. "How do you know my name? Who are you?"

He was quite certain that he had never met this ugly woman.

The middle-aged woman sneered. "What a twist of fate, Chen Xiao. Let me tell you, I am Wu Meili!"

Chen Xiao had certainly heard the name Wu Meili before, but he still looked blank.

"Wu Meili? The name sounds familiar, but I really can't remember. Just tell me, who exactly are you?"

Wu Meili was so angry that her face was distorted. Her already ugly face became even uglier.

"I, Wu Meili, am Long Yaoyang's mother!"

Chen Xiao suddenly understood, letting out a long "Oh!" "So it's you!"

Chen Xiao remembered that this ugly woman had sent Lin Zicong to assassinate him before. Lin Zicong had mentioned this name at the time.

But Chen Xiao had forgotten about this minor character as soon as he heard about it. Besides, the two had never met before, so he didn't recognize Wu Meili at all.

"Humph, that's right!"

Wu Meili was furious, while the handsome man standing next to her was very jealous.

He asked warily, "Meili, who is this man?"

Wu Meili gritted her teeth and said, "My son, Yaoyang, died at this brat's hands!"

Chen Xiao frowned. "Without evidence, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll sue you for defamation!"

However, the handsome man's focus was not on this.

He was suddenly shocked, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"He's that Chen Xiao? That good-for-nothing junior brother Lin of mine is following him now?"

Clearly, the Lin junior brother he was talking about was Lin Zicong.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but wonder, "And who are you?"

The man smiled triumphantly and said twice, "Hmph, listen up, I am Lin Zijie, the chief disciple of the Shuangdao Men (Twin Blades Sect)!"

It turned out that most of the disciples of the Shuangdao Men were orphans adopted by the sect leader. After entering the Shuangdao Men, they all changed their surnames to Lin.

And this Lin Zijie had grown up with Lin Zicong since childhood and was Lin Zicong's senior brother.

However, he had only recently become the chief disciple.

Becoming the chief disciple meant that as long as he died after the current sect leader of the Shuangdao Men, the position of the next sect leader of the Shuangdao Men would be his for the taking.

Originally, the person with the highest voice to become the chief disciple was Lin Zicong, but Lin Zicong couldn't stand having to sleep with Wu Meili even as the chief disciple, so he defected from the Shuangdao Men and followed Chen Xiao.

And Lin Zijie seized the opportunity because of this. He spared no effort to please Wu Meili.

He used all his skills in bed and finally won Wu Meili's heart, making Wu Meili forget about Lin Zicong. Only then did he become the chief disciple of the Shuangdao Men!

Enemies meeting are bound to be extremely jealous!

Although Wu Meili was unfaithful, Long Yaoyang was, after all, a piece of flesh that had fallen from her body.

So she hated Chen Xiao to the core and wanted to skin him alive and crush his bones.

"Lin Zijie, why are you talking nonsense with him? Kill him quickly!"

Wu Meili urged.

"What's the rush? Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Since taking down Wu Meili, Lin Zijie had completely turned the serf over to become the master.

And the more he treated Wu Meili like this, the more devoted Wu Meili became to him, and she also felt that he was particularly manly.

Then, he snorted at Chen Xiao twice.

"Hmph, you little brat, you're unlucky to meet me today. It would have been good for you to stay in Jiangcheng honestly, but you had to wander around the provincial capital. Now I have no choice but to kill you!"

"After I kill you to avenge my dear, I'll go to Jiangcheng to take the life of my disappointing junior brother!"

If Lin Zijie killed Chen Xiao today, it would definitely be a great achievement.

Not only would he avenge the Wu family, but he would also vent his anger for the sect. It was simply a double stroke of luck.

"Hmph, kill me, with you?"

Chen Xiao burst out laughing. "You probably don't know why Lin Zicong is following me, do you? He was subdued by me, so he willingly followed me!"

Lin Zijie was furious when he heard this. "Don't compare that good-for-nothing with me. He's just a renegade disciple of the Shuangdao Men, and I am the chief disciple of the Shuangdao Men. There's no comparison between us at all!"

If it had been before, he would have been able to draw with Lin Zicong at best.

But since becoming the chief disciple, his master had taught him the Shuangdao Men's unique skills, which had greatly improved his strength.

And what had improved even more was his confidence.

Now, if he faced his junior brother Lin Zicong again, he believed that he could take Lin Zicong's life within ten moves!

And seeing that Chen Xiao was young, even if he had won against Lin Zicong, it must have been a narrow victory, so he didn't take Chen Xiao seriously at all.

Chen Xiao smiled when he saw his appearance.

Chen Xiao's current opponents were all Huajing (Transformation Realm) grandmasters at the starting level, and he couldn't even muster any interest in Qi Jing (Qi Realm) martial artists like Lin Zijie.

"Alright, then come on. Didn't you say you were going to kill me? Hurry up!"

Chen Xiao hooked his little finger at Lin Zijie.

This action was very insulting. Lin Zijie was furious at the time, and with a swoosh, two sabers appeared in his hands!

The surrounding diners were already watching the excitement here. When they saw the knives, they were immediately frightened and screamed loudly, running outside in a flurry.

Liu Shuai and Guan Na were even more frightened and turned pale. "Brother Chen, be careful!"

Wu Fei'er also looked nervous, and her palms were sweating.

"Boy, go to hell!"

Lin Zijie's figure rushed towards Chen Xiao like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Chen Xiao, stabbing at Chen Xiao with his two sabers.

However, Chen Xiao didn't even mean to dodge. Just as Lin Zijie's two sabers stabbed down at him, he also slapped out with his palm.

His slap arrived later but struck first. Before the two sabers could stab him, he hit Lin Zijie first.

Thump—

In an instant, Lin Zijie was directly knocked to the ground by this slap, like a dead dog, without any reaction.

It was a pity for Lin Zijie that he fell to the ground directly before he could even use the Shuangdao Men's unique skills!

Wu Meili was so frightened that she lost her color and was about to run away.

Chen Xiao shouted angrily, "Stop right there!"

Wu Meili was so frightened that she froze on the spot, shivering.

"You, you, what do you want to do?"

Chen Xiao sneered, "What did I say? You scolded my woman. You still want to leave without apologizing? Hurry up and come over to apologize to me!"

Wu Fei'er's eyes froze, and her heart beat faster. Her face instantly turned red, and her expression was a little confused.

And all of this was only because of Chen Xiao's sentence, "my woman"!
