Yang Cuixue narrowed his eyes and looked toward the direction of the voice. It was a young man in a black outfit with his hair tied up in a high ponytail.
"He looks familiar …" Just as the thought came to his mind, he heard someone behind him say, "Xu Qi 'an, why is he here?"
It was Lord Liu, who had met Xu Qi 'an before in Jing City.
Young Master Liu was quite happy to see Xu Qi 'an again. Back then, it could be said that they got to know each other through fighting, although Xu Yinluo did not give a good first impression (he broke his beloved sword the moment they met).
But as it turned out, Xu Yinluo's character was worthy of recognition. He didn't seize the opportunity to forcibly take Miss Rongrong away from him. When he realized that he had misunderstood, not only did he apologize, but he also compensated him with a magical artifact produced by the Imperial Astronomer.
While Lord Liu was reminiscing about the past, he suddenly saw the Pavilion Master put a hand on his shoulder and stared at him.
"He, he is Xu Qi 'an?"
Lord Liu nodded. "I met him in Jing City, and my master knows him too."
Yang Cuixue immediately looked at his junior, Lord Liu's master and nodded. "He is indeed Xu Yinluo."
When Yang Cuixue looked at Xu Qi 'an again, he matched the portrait in his memory. It was indeed Xu Qi' an.
Liu Hu's eyes widened, and the image of the young man was reflected in his eyes. He remembered what he had been talking about a few days ago.
The Jin Zhou City was two thousand miles away from Jing City. Excluding the large organizations with intelligence networks, the people who had seen the Emperor's decree and heard the whole story, it had only been half a month.
When the news reached Chu Zhou City, it caused an uproar. Everyone from the Jianghu to the government was talking about it. Everyone applauded Xu Yinluo's righteousness.
After the Buddhist duel, Xu Qi 'an became famous again. He became a hero and an upright official in the eyes of the common people.
The Jianghu people, who were jealous of him, respected him even more.
He had never thought that he would see this legendary figure in person.
"As expected, he has an imposing appearance and is a dragon among men …" Liu Hu praised in his heart.
The feelings of the other Jianghu unaffiliated people were more or less the same as his, shock mixed with surprise.
We met Xu Yinluo in Chu Zhou City … It's something to brag about.
Yang Cuixue's face was solemn. She straightened her clothes and went up to greet him. She bowed and said, "Ink Pavilion's Yang Cuixue greets Xu Yinluo."
A senior Level Four expert, the leader of a sect, bowing to a junior should be an extremely degrading thing. However, the people of the Jianghu and the blue-robed swordsmen of the Ink Pavilion did not think that Yang Cuixue's behavior was inappropriate.
Xu Yinluo's achievements, especially the massacre at Chu Zhou City, were worthy of their respect.
"Pavilion Master Yang is too polite. I am not worthy of such courtesy." Xu Qi'an reached out his hand to help him up.
"I have been friends with Xu Yinluo for a long time. Now that I have seen you in person, I am very excited." Yang Cuixue smiled warmly, not at all like a Pavilion Master.
"I have been friends with you for a long time, and I still feel weird …" Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "I have also heard of your name."
In fact, he had never heard of Pavilion Master Yang, but he knew how to flatter each other.
The disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society looked at the scene in surprise. The Pavilion Master of the Ink Pavilion, who was arrogant and mocking Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen, was now smiling warmly and talking to Xu Yinluo with sincerity.
The unaffiliated people of the Jianghu and the blue-robed swordsmen looked at them with smiles on their faces. The tense atmosphere was completely gone.
Suddenly, the female disciples looked at Xu Qi'an with even more infatuation. This man was extremely charming.
It was in everyone's nature to chase after the brightest star.
At this moment, Xu Qi'an was undoubtedly the brightest star in their eyes.
"He has such a strong reputation …" White Lotus Taoist Nun couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. She was an indifferent person and didn't care much about fame and wealth. She judged others by her own standards and underestimated Xu Qi'an's reputation in the outside world.
"Pavilion Master Yang, I was just joking."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Qi 'an went straight to the point. He solemnly bowed and said in a sincere tone, "I have a deep friendship with the Holy Maiden of the Sky Sect and Brother Chu. This time, I was invited by the two of them to come to the Yue Clan Villa to help protect the lotus seeds.
Yang Cuixue thought for a while and shook his head. "Fine. Since I know Xu Yinluo is guarding the lotus seed, I will not get involved. Otherwise, I will lose my dignity."
He sounded half joking and half serious.
"Thank you!"
Xu Qi'an turned to look at the others and said loudly, "Everyone, it is fate that we met by chance. I hope you can forgive me and be friends. If you have any difficulties in the future, please let me know. I, Xu Qi'an, will do my best."
His words were pleasing to the ears and everyone enjoyed it.
What was the most important thing in Jianghu?
It was giving face.
How could one survive in Jianghu if they didn't give face?
Moreover, it was someone like Xu Yinluo. One good word from him was more useful than ten thousand words from ordinary people.
Liu Hu grinned and said loudly, "My mother loves to listen to other people's gossip. She heard about your deeds a while ago and kept praising Xu Yinluo when she got home. She said you are a righteous official. If he knows that I am going against you … "
"I will quit too. Damn it, I don't want to be criticized by the villagers." Someone added loudly.
"Xu Yinluo, a man's promise is worth a thousand gold. If you say you want to participate, then you don't. We can't write such words, but we accept this principle. "Someone else said.
This was a person with real prestige. No one was willing to go against a person with real prestige … Li Miaozhen puffed her cheeks, feeling a little jealous.
Unknowingly, Xu Qi'an had accumulated such a deep prestige.
She remembered that he had sent a letter to her through the Earth Book, asking her to help him search for Zhou Chixiong of the Golden Guards who had escaped to Yun Province. At that time, he was weak and lacked connections.
After more than half a year, he had caught up to her in both cultivation and prestige.
This kind of reputation, even the court officials would be so envious that they would beat their chests and stamp their feet … Chu Yuanzhen watched silently from the side. He had been in Jianghu for many years, and it was rare to see someone like Xu Qi 'an who had risen so quickly.
Yang Cuixue hesitated and said, "The Ink Pavilion will not participate in this matter, but there are many forces in the Wulin League and there are many experts. The orthodox Taoists of the Earth Sect are the same. Xu Yinluo, remember to act according to your ability and don't force yourself.
"I will come to watch the battle tomorrow. At the critical moment …"
He didn't say it clearly.
"The Pavilion Leader of the Ink Pavilion is very chivalrous. No wonder Jiang Lüzhong and the others always say that Jianghu is very interesting, thousands of times more interesting than officialdom. When I have time, I will also travel Jianghu …" Xu Qi'an nodded and didn't refuse her kindness. He said, "Thank you, Pavilion Leader."
Yang Cuixue waved her hand, bowed again, and left with the disciples of the Ink Pavilion.
Liu Hu and the others also left.
"Phew …" The disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society breathed a sigh of relief, and then joy appeared on their faces.
"Prince Xu."
With a sweet voice, an extraordinarily beautiful girl stepped forward with her hands behind her back. She pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Prince Xu, for your help."
She had a pair of bright eyes that seemed to want to say something. She was young, and after losing the baby fat, the girl's newly sharpened chin was full of tenderness.
In a year or two, her beloved Langjun would pinch her chin and tease her, "Little girl, you are mine today."
"How old is this girl? Do you have a boyfriend? Can I add you on WeChat?" Xu Qi'an asked three times in his mind, but he kept a cool face and only nodded.
The girl gathered her courage and said, "My, my name is Qiu Chanyi. Xu, Prince Xu, you also have a fragment of the Earth Tome, right?"
Hearing this, Master Hengy Yuan, Chu Yuanzhen, and Li Miaozhen looked at her subconsciously.
"Damn it, girl, you are too vicious. You want me to die in public?" Xu Qi'an said with a straight face, "I am not."
"Ah?"
This answer was out of Qiu Chanyi's expectation. She opened her mouth slightly in disappointment. "Then, then you really came because of the friendship between Senior Sister Miaozhen and Senior Brother Chu."
The other disciples also looked at him.
They hoped that Xu Yinluo was a member of the Heaven & Earth Society, and not helping them out of morality or friendship.
This was very important.
"I am here to investigate a case." Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes.
"Investigate?"
Qiu Chanyi tilted her head and said innocently, "What kind of case can our Heaven & Earth Society have?"
"Why do female cats scream at night? Why do old Taoists in their sixties often lie dead? Why do all the female cats in the villa get pregnant? Is this the distortion of human nature or the degeneration of morality? Do these count as cases? "
The corners of Xu Qi 'an's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile as he said, "Priest Golden Lotus and I are close friends. Even if he's not the holder of the Earthly Tome fragment, he's not an outsider."
Taoist Nun White Lotus looked at him strangely. She didn't understand why Xu Yinluo would deny his identity.
"Huh? Where is Senior Yang?" Xu Qi'an looked around.
"I don't know. He disappeared after those Jianghu people showed up," answered a disciple.
"Where did Yang Qianhuan go to this time?" Xu Qi'an analyzed. "The news of my arrival will definitely spread through those people. There is a small town not far from the Yue Villa, right? "
The disciple who had just spoken nodded.
"Junior Brother, what is your name?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"Xu Yinluo. My name is Ling Yun," answered the young disciple.
Xu Qi'an nodded. "Junior Brother Ling Yun, I have a favor to ask of you. Disguise yourself immediately and go to the town to gather information. Observe the reactions of the people."
The young Taoist Ling Yun nodded excitedly. "Don't worry, Prince Xu. I will definitely complete the task."
In a secluded corner, Yang Qianhuan squatted on the ground and drew circles on the ground with his finger. He murmured, "I understand, I understand. First, I need to accumulate enough reputation … "
…
A dozen miles away from the villa was a small town. It was a low-class brothel, two inns, and a restaurant.
The restaurant was called the Three Immortals Market. It served roasted chicken, crab roe buns, and plum wine.
A jar of iced plum wine and a plate of roasted goose were great pleasures in life during the hot summer.
Recently, countless Jianghu people had flocked to the town. The two inns and the brothel were full, but they still couldn't accommodate the Jianghu people.
Therefore, some people stayed in private houses. If it were other people, they would not dare to accept Jianghu people, especially those who had wives at home …
But the people of the Sword State were very tolerant of Jianghu people.
That was because the gangs of the Jianghu in the Sword State were responsible for maintaining law and order to a certain extent. When foreign Jianghu people came here, they would hide their claws and teeth to avoid provoking the behemoth that was the Wulin League.
There were also masters who were not afraid of the Wulin League, but such masters, no matter what their character was, would not bother to cause trouble for ordinary people.
Ever since the heroes who went to test the Yue Family Villa returned, the whole town was in an uproar.
Xu Qi'an was here.
Yes, it was the silver gong of Daibun, Xu Qi'an, the Xu Qi'an who beheaded the Duke at the market.
This news was explosive. The capital was two thousand miles away from Chu Zhou City. The news of the massacre in Chu Zhou City had just reached the Sword State a few days ago, shocking the Jianghu people and the government.
In just a few days, the rumored righteous Xu Yinluo had appeared in the Sword State.
"Did you know? Xu Yinluo has come to the Yue Family Villa. He actually knows the traitor of the Earth Sect. Pavilion Master Yang of the Ink Pavilion has announced that he will not participate in this matter. "
"Heh, Pavilion Master Yang is a righteous man. It is best to befriend chivalrous people. Naturally, he will not fight with Xu Yinluo."
"I am curious. How many people from the sects of the Sword State do you think will quit? If it is only the Ink Pavilion, hehe, Pavilion Master Yang will be laughing his head off. "
"Yes, the good name of the Ink Pavilion has been taken by the Ink Pavilion. I will not participate. Xu Yinluo is righteous. How can I take what he wants to protect?"
"You have not drunk much, but you are already muddle-headed. For trash like you, Xu Yinluo can crush you with one finger. "
There were three people who happened to pass by the inn and they heard every single word of the conversation just now.
The combination of the three people was very strange. The one in the middle was an elegant young man wearing a white robe and a jade belt. His face was like jade and his skin was excellent. However, there was a thick coldness between his brows.
Behind him were two nine feet tall "giants". They wore bamboo hats and were covered in black robes. They stood on the left and right of the young man in white robes.
"Xu Qi 'an has also come to the Sword State?"
The corners of the young man's mouth curled into a cold smile. He said, "I can wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find him by chance. I originally wanted to meet him after some time, but I did not expect to run into him today. I did not join in the fun for nothing this time. "
The giant on the left said in a low voice, "Young Master, Master said not to provoke him."
The giant on the right remained silent.
The young man in white robes said with a smile, "He is just a little bastard who has occupied the nest of a dove. How long can he be arrogant? One day, I will pull out his tendons, peel off his skin, and suck his marrow. "
His words were filled with confidence, as if it was something that had already been decided.
The giant on the left said, "Although he has not achieved much, his abilities are definitely not inferior to yours, Young Master. Young Master understands that arrogance is bound to lead to defeat. Don't let your guard down. "
The giant on the right remained silent.
The young man in white robes said impatiently, "I know, I know. I have never underestimated him. You two, one is mute, and the other only knows how to admonish him. How boring."
The Left Emissary and the Right Emissary were his guardians arranged by his father. Although they were a little annoying, they were top-notch Valiant Warrior. The young man in white robes had never seen them lose.
The young man in white robes caressed the jade ring and said leisurely, "I heard that Xu Qi 'an's saber was personally refined by the Supervisor. Hmm, it's not too much to take his saber this time."
The giant on the left commented, "This saber is extremely sharp and can compete with the Lunar Shadow. Young Master, it's not bad to take it."
The giant on the right was silent.
The young man in white robes laughed loudly and said, "Let's go. I heard that there is a gathering at the Sanxian Market. Let's go and join in the fun. The leader of Wan Hua Lou is a rare beauty. "
