Originally, with Mo Xiuyao's status, he didn't need to squeeze into an inn with other people. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao had been sightseeing for more than a month, and they had only taken remote paths, so they didn't know that the Mu Rong family had already sent out invitations to all the heroes in the world to participate in the martial arts convention. As Prince Ding, Mo Xiuyao was naturally among them, and the invitations were sent to Li City in the northwest. Everyone who received the invitations had their accommodations arranged by the Mu Rong family. For this reason, the Mu Rong family had specially set aside a courtyard for these heroes to temporarily stay in. Mo Xiuyao had no intention of participating in this martial arts convention, so he naturally wouldn't reveal his identity and go to the Mu Rong family. He could only bring Ye Li to stay in an inn.
An City's Qing Yuan Inn was one of the best inns in the entire An City. Those who could stay here were naturally rich and powerful, and there were also some outstanding disciples of famous sects in Jianghu.
Ye Li curiously looked at the well-dressed travelers coming and going. She tilted her head and asked Mo Xiuyao who was leisurely drinking tea, "Is every martial arts convention this formal?"
Mo Xiuyao curled his lips and said, "How is that possible? Most of the time, it's just a few experts from the previous convention who have arranged a place to compete. Once the news is released, the people of Jianghu will naturally go and join in the fun. The convention I went to was an exception. Ling Tiehan went to challenge Jhennam Of Gojoseon. I just happened to be playing nearby and went to join in the fun. I accidentally got into a fight. Speaking of which, the only person who actually participated in that convention was Mu Qingcang. "
The so-called martial arts convention was actually so casual. Ye Li felt a bit disillusioned. However, this also proved how attractive the Mu Rong family was to the world.
Downstairs, a few young and handsome youths disagreed and started fighting. Downstairs was suddenly in chaos. Ye Li coldly looked at the people below as they fought back and forth, wanting to kill each other. She didn't have the slightest intention of interfering. Not long after, the victor was decided. The loser's hand strength was severed, and he would never be able to practice the sword again. The winner was naturally proud of himself. He laughed contemptuously and said, "You should take a look at yourself. How dare you covet Miss Murong."
His words immediately made it clear that these people were not here for the so-called martial arts assembly, but for Lady Murong, or rather, for the Murong family. Before he could finish being complacent, a hidden weapon shot out of nowhere and hit his chest. The youth who was still complacent a moment ago immediately fell to the ground.
"Who would release such an idiot to harm others and themselves?" Ye Li frowned and said softly. The fight below was started by the youth who had been hit by the hidden weapon. He had crippled the other's hand, but he had also lost his life.
"That is Sun Jianhui, the eldest son of the famous Sun family of Da Chu State." A refined and smiling voice sounded from behind. Ye Li turned around and saw Ren Qining smiling as he stood at the top of the stairs looking at the two people through the window.
Meeting Ren Qining again at the same inn, Ye Li wasn't too surprised. However, this also proved that this Young Master Ren wasn't as harmless as he appeared to be. His family background was definitely not ordinary. However, this wasn't enough to make Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li take him seriously. To put it bluntly, in this world, other than the imperial family of each country, no one else had the qualifications to make Mo Xiuyao pay attention to them. Therefore, when he saw Ren Qining, Mo Xiuyao's attitude was still cold and distant.
Young Master Ren was a bit gloomy about this. He had always been high and mighty since he was young. In addition, his warm and gentle appearance made people unconsciously feel close to him. Who would have thought that there would be such a stubborn person? If it wasn't too rude, Ren Qining would have asked Mo Xiuyao if he had offended him in any way.
"Ye, are you also here to participate in the martial arts convention?" Ren Qining didn't seem to notice Mo Xiuyao's cold attitude and laughed loudly.
His voice wasn't soft, so when he said this, most of the people on the second floor focused their attention on Mo Xiuyao. Their eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility. After all, not to mention Mo Xiuyao's hidden identity and martial arts. Just his handsome appearance alone was enough to make most men hostile to him.
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyelids, as if he didn't notice the hostile gazes of the crowd. He smiled faintly, "We just happened to pass by. My wife wanted to join in the fun. But … with Young Master Ren's status, you should be staying in the Murong family's courtyard. Why are you also here at the inn? "
Hearing this, the hostility in the crowd immediately disappeared. Wasn't it true? There was a beautiful and elegant woman sitting next to this handsome young master. Although she wasn't as rich as the Murong family, this woman was still beautiful and graceful. Her temperament was outstanding, and it was obvious that she came from a scholarly family. The Murong family's young miss might not be able to surpass this woman in terms of appearance and temperament. Maybe this young master only liked beauties and not money? On the other hand, the young master wearing the blue silk robe was also outstanding. It was obvious that he came from an extraordinary background. Most importantly, he was still single!
Ren Qining's eyes flashed and he smiled, "Brother Ye is joking. With my status, how could I be qualified to stay in the Murong family's courtyard? I'm just here to join in the fun like Brother Ye. Is it convenient for me to sit with you? "Mo Xiuyao declined to comment. Ren Qining took it as an agreement and sat down across from the two.
As they drank tea, Mo Xiuyao didn't want to talk to Ren Qining. The atmosphere at the table was a bit cold. Ye Li picked up the teacup and took a sip. She casually said, "The martial arts convention this time is a bit strange. Wasn't it said that the previous martial arts conventions were set by the experts from the previous convention? Could it be that the experts chose the Murong family's martial arts competition this time? "Generally, the experts would choose a more remote and famous mountain. It was said that the most powerful person chose the peak of the snowy mountain in the north of the Western Tomb. That time, the number of participants was the least because many people couldn't even reach the peak of the snowy mountain.
Ren Qining smiled and said, "Madam, do you know who the top four experts in Jianghu are?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "I've heard a little about them."
Ren Qining smiled and said, "Speaking of which, these four aren't experts from the previous convention. They are experts from the convention before that. In fact, the previous martial arts convention couldn't be held at all. "Ye Li asked curiously," What do you mean? "
Ren Qining said, "During the previous martial arts convention, Prince Ding couldn't participate because of his injury. Pavilion Master Ling of the Yanwang Chamber also couldn't participate because of Prince Ding's absence. The Jhennam King of Gojoseon of Western Tomb was busy with state affairs … so, Mu Qingcang was the only expert in that convention. However, none of the people who went to challenge Mu Qingcang could beat him or even tie with him. The martial arts convention, which was supposed to last three days, ended in half a day. "
Ye Li glanced at Mo Xiuyao secretly and smiled, "There's such a thing?" Ren Qining sighed and said, "Isn't that so? Seriously speaking, the ranking of the experts in Jianghu hasn't changed for eighteen years. Naturally, there are many rising stars who can't help but want to try their skills. "
"What does this have to do with the Murong family?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows and asked. The Murong family was a merchant family and had nothing to do with the people of Jianghu.
