"Excuse me, may I have a table with you?" At the door, a scholar in a blue silk robe walked in. He glanced at the hall that was full in the blink of an eye and walked to where Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li were sitting. Ye Li glanced at the lobby. The lobby of the inn wasn't big to begin with. There were only seven or eight tables in it, but it was already filled with people. Although there were empty seats, it was indeed a little difficult for such a scholarly person to squeeze in with those valiant and domineering people of the underworld. It was not a big deal. Glancing at Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li said lightly, "Go ahead."
The scholar felt that the man in front of him was not easy to get along with and did not have much hope. Unexpectedly, the woman in plain clothes agreed so easily. He was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss."
The corner of Ye Li's mouth twitched. She could clearly feel the rising chill of the man beside her. She looked up at the scholar and said, "This is my husband." The scholar looked even more surprised. Ye Li was dressed in plain clothes, and her hair was not tied into a bun like a married woman. Her hair was casually tied up with a silver ribbon. Although she looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, there were many women in West-Hill who were still unmarried at seventeen years old. He thought that they were a pair of brother and sister traveling together. He did not expect them to be a couple. "I'm really sorry, Madam … What's your name?"
Mo Xiuyao looked up at him and frowned slightly. After a while, he said lightly, "Ye."
In just a moment, the awkwardness and guilt on the scholar's face had completely disappeared. He looked at the two of them as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. "Brother Ye and Madam are also here to participate in this year's Martial Arts Assembly?"
Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "It's not really a participation. We're just here to have fun." The scholar clapped his hands and smiled, "That's great. I also want to have fun. Why don't we go together? That's right … I am Ren Qining. "
This time, Ye Li did not answer. She was indeed not familiar with Jianghu. Other than a few truly famous masters, she did not know of any other strange people. But at least he could see that Ren Qining was definitely not an ordinary scholar. Xi Ling was different from the Da Chu State. Xi Ling was not a place filled with Confucian scholars. It was strange for a scholar to appear in such a place. Moreover, he had dragged them to the martial arts convention to join in the fun.
Mo Xiuyao put down his chopsticks and saw that Ye Li had finished eating. He stood up and pulled Ye Li away. He said indifferently, "No need. We don't like to be disturbed by outsiders." He didn't care about Ren Qining's expression behind him and pulled Ye Li upstairs to rest.
"Xiuyao?"
In the afternoon, in the inn, Ye Li sat by the half-open window and read a travel book. The warm sunlight shone on her body, making her feel lazy and not want to move. Being hugged from behind, Ye Li put down her book and looked sideways at the man behind her.
"Hm?" Mo Xiuyao stood behind Ye Li and leisurely looked at the people coming and going on the street below.
Ye Li thought for a moment and asked, "That Ren Qining is probably not an ordinary person." Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and gently tidied up the messy hair by her ear. He said softly, "He is indeed not simple. But don't worry. There are always strange people in Jianghu. Ye Li should just go and watch the fun. "
Ye Li asked curiously, "How is Ren Qining's martial arts?" Ye Li could only see that Ren Qining was not a weak scholar without the strength to truss a chicken, but she could not see the depth of his martial arts. This proved that Ren Qining was better than her in terms of martial arts.
Mo Xiuyao frowned. He thought for a moment and said, "In Jianghu, he can at least be ranked in the top ten. Maybe even the top five. I can't see which family he is from. "In the end, Mo Xiuyao was not a person of Jianghu. When Mo Xiuyao was fourteen years old, he shocked the world with his sword and became one of the four masters. After that, he spent most of his time and energy on the battlefield. He only knew the general situation of Jianghu. Ye Li helplessly smiled bitterly and said, "What good luck. Just going out for a walk and we can meet such an expert."
Letting Ye Li lean on his body, Mo Xiuyao looked at her and said with a smile, "Don't mind him. If we ruin the fun for such a small matter, we might as well not go to the martial arts convention."
"You're not afraid that someone else will take the title of the four masters?" Ye Li asked with a smile.
Mo Xiuyao disdainfully snorted and said, "Even if the title of the top ten masters is taken by someone else, it doesn't change the fact that I's martial arts are higher than theirs. Not to mention … … how many people in this world need I to personally take care of them? Whether I am an expert or not is just a matter of playing around when I was young. "Ye Li leaned on his chest and sighed. Her heart was filled with sorrow and amusement. The title of an expert that the people of Jianghu scrambled for was nothing more than a joke in Mo Xiuyao's eyes. She did not know what kind of expression those martial arts experts would have if they knew.
"I haven't seen the martial arts convention yet. Let's go see what it's like." Ye Li turned around and said.
"Okay, we'll go wherever Li wants to go." Mo Xiuyao replied.
The martial arts convention naturally would not be held in this unknown small town. However, the location was not too far from this small town. It was two hundred li away from the small town. It was the fourth largest city in Xiling, An Cheng. It was ten li away from Murong Manor. The next morning, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao prepared to leave for An Cheng. As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Ren Qi Ning who was also preparing to pay the bill and leave. Unlike Mo Xiuyao's indifference, Ren Qi Ning was very happy to see the two of them. "Ye, Madam Ye, what a coincidence. Are the two of you also preparing to leave? "
Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li to pay the bill and walked out. Being so brazenly ignored, no matter how elegant Ren Qi Ning was, he couldn't help but stiffen. However, he still caught up. "Ye, Madam Ye … …" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Mo Xiuyao turned around and looked at him for a while before saying, "Young Master Ren, it's rare for me and my wife to go out on a leisurely trip. If you disturb other couples, you'll be kicked by the horse. " As a result, Ren Qi Ning, who was stunned, could only look on helplessly as Mo Xiuyao hugged Ye Li and mounted the horse and left. He couldn't recover for a long time.
After leaving the small town, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Ren Qi Ning who was left behind and looked as if he had swallowed a fly. Mo Xiuyao leaned on Ye Li's shoulder. While casually controlling the speed and direction of the horse, he laughed softly and said, "Why are you laughing so happily, Madam Li?" Ye Li shook her head repeatedly. Mo Xiuyao naturally knew why she was laughing and didn't care. He said faintly, "I'm afraid that Ren Qi Ning's scheme isn't small. No matter why he insisted on going with us, we'll always feel uncomfortable with him following us." Ye Li nodded. She also didn't have any intention of going with others. "What kind of place is Murong Manor? A famous Jianghu family? "Murong Manor was indeed a place that often appeared in wuxia novels. Every time, it was something like Jianghu's eight great aristocratic families and so on. If she knew that she was going to get involved in Jianghu, she would have read all the reports about Jianghu from the dark department.
