On the evening of the appointed day, Xu Tianqi brought another disciple, Mu Jin, to Shi Xuan's small courtyard. His expression was a mixture of worry and excitement.
"Junior Mu, this is Junior Shi Xuan. He is the last disciple of a secluded elder of the Xu family." Apart from the core members of the Xu family, the Xu family only referred to him as a secluded elder. Shi Xuan also told Xu Tianqi that it was fine to call him by his pseudonym, Shi Xuan. Although Xu Tianqi didn't understand, he still did as he was told.
"Greetings, Senior Shi." Mu Jin was tall and sturdy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked like a loyal and honest person.
"Junior Shi, this is Mu Jin, Junior Mu. He is my father's fifth disciple and is my best friend."
"Haha, Junior Mu, you are too polite." Shi Xuan cupped his hands in response.
Xu Tianqi approached Shi Xuan and said in a low voice, "Junior Shi, are you alright?"
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Xu, I can only say that I will do what I can." Xu Tianqi took a step back and looked at Shi Xuan. Perhaps Shi Xuan's calm demeanor gave him confidence, so he smiled and said, "Since it's like this, let's go."
Shi Xuan had finished his preparations in the afternoon. He had placed all the talismans in his chest pocket and sleeve pocket. He had prepared several talismans for some, and only one talisman for those that weren't likely to be used. He had arranged them so that they could be used as soon as possible. At this time, he thought back and made sure that he hadn't left anything out. He nodded and left with Xu Tianqi and Mu Jin.
Along the way, Shi Xuan and Xu Tianqi casually chatted. Mu Jin didn't speak much and looked rather dull. Perhaps it was because of this that Xu Tianqi brought him along.
When they neared the haunted house, they saw five people standing outside, three men and two women. Xu Tianqi's expression changed and he stopped, "Damn it, why is Yu Qiong here?"
At this time, the other party also saw them. One of them was dressed in red, her face as red as a pepper. She jumped up and waved at Xu Tianqi. Xu Tianqi saw that he couldn't avoid them and could only signal to Shi Xuan before walking over.
Among these five people, the most eye-catching one was a tall girl of about seventeen or eighteen years of age. She was dressed in a pale pink dress and had phoenix eyes and a jade-like nose. She was extremely beautiful. The other girl, Red Pepper, was relatively petite. She had big eyes and a small mouth. She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years of age and was exceptionally lively. The other three men stood a little further away, led by a young man in a scholarly robe in the middle. Apart from his slightly pale face, he looked much more handsome than Xu Tianqi. Behind him were two middle-aged men with strong backs and waists. Looking at their imposing manner, they looked very fierce.
"Well done, Xu Tianqi. You actually didn't call me and Big Sister Yuqiong for such an interesting thing." The red-robed girl saw Xu Tianqi walk in and immediately started shouting.
Xu Tianqi hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized, "Seventh sister, it's brother's fault. I'm worried about ghosts, it's no wonder girls don't like me."
Seeing that the red-clothed girl still wanted to say something, the girl in the pale-pink dress hurriedly pulled her away and answered first, "Brother Xu is really thoughtful. We were just too curious." Then she smiled apologetically.
Shi Xuan felt dazzled by the girl's smile, let alone Xu Tianqi, "Sister Yu Qiong, why are you still calling me brother? We've known each other for so long, just call me Tianqi. If I knew that Sister Yu Qiong was curious about this, I would have brought you here long ago. "As he spoke, he moved closer as if he had never seen a woman before.
Yu Qiong saw Xu Tianqi move closer and frowned slightly. She looked left and right and saw Shi Xuan and Mu Jin standing at the side, so she said to Xu Tianqi, "Brother Tianqi, may I know who these two are?"
Xu Tianqi suddenly realized that he hadn't introduced them yet and hurriedly said, "This is the last disciple of one of the elders in my sect, Junior Brother Shi Xuan. This is my father's fifth disciple, Junior Brother Mu Jin. They are my companions today."
At this time, three men walked over from a distance and heard Xu Tianqi's introduction. One of them, who looked like a pale scholar, laughed, "Brother Tianqi, these are the 'experts' you invited. Heroes really come from the young. Come come come, let me introduce you. This is my family's Uncle Jian Cong and this is Uncle Dao Feng. They are both famous people in the pugilistic world. Let's get to know each other, hahaha. "
Xu Tianqi's face turned green as he heard the introduction. After a while, he said, "So you are the 'Sword and Saber Double Killer' of Ganlong Road. This junior has lost."
The girl in red saw Xu Tianqi's reaction and her face turned sour. She said to the scholar, "Xia Wenhui, don't you have any shame? This is a bet between the younger generation. Why did you invite your family's elders? My family's fifth brother is very strict with the rules. "
"Miss Jinyi, you can't speak carelessly in front of Miss Yu Qiong. I don't know when this rule was set, but when I made the bet with Brother Tianqi, I never said that I couldn't invite an elder to oversee the bet," Xia Wenhui said proudly.
"Alright, Seventh Sister, don't say anymore. Brother Shi, this is Miss Yu Qiong, the most outstanding disciple of Yu Hua Sect. This is our Xu family's fourth branch's seventh sister, Xu Jinyi. However, they moved to Luo Jing thirty years ago and rarely come back. That's why you haven't seen them before."
Shi Xuan cupped his hands in greeting to the two girls. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Wenhui interrupted, "Hey, Brother Tianqi, why don't you introduce these two young 'heroes' to me? Could it be that you think my martial arts skills are not good enough and I'm not worthy enough?" The two fierce-looking middle-aged men behind him glared at Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan felt a murderous aura rushing towards him. It seemed that they had killed at least a hundred people to have such a strong murderous aura.
However, Shi Xuan had been cultivating the [Divine Observation Technique] for a long time, so this level of murderous aura did not affect Shi Xuan at all. Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head, ignoring them. He had planned to stare back at them and cast a small spell to make them suffer a little. However, their looks were not to Shi Xuan's liking. If he was in the mood to look at Miss Yu Qiong and Miss Jinyi, he would rather look at them. Of course, Shi Xuan was not a ten thousand year virgin. Cultivation was the most important thing right now. Beauties were good for his eyes.
Meng Yuqiong saw that Shi Xuan and Mu Jin did not reply. She was afraid that Xu Tianqi would feel awkward and quickly tried to smooth things over. She smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, why don't we go in? I've never seen a ghost before, I don't know if I can get what I want this time."
Since the beauty had spoken, Xu Tianqi and Xia Wenhui had no objections. Xu Jinyi would definitely walk with her Fifth Brother, and Meng Yuqiong would naturally walk with her best friend. Xia Wenhui had no choice but to bring his two elders in first.
"Brother Tianqi, are those two really the Sword and Saber Double Killer?" Meng Yuqiong asked Xu Tianqi as they walked.
Xu Tianqi, of course, said everything he knew. "Yes, a few years ago, I heard my father mention that the Sword and Saber Double Killer offended one of the Eight Heavenly Kings of the Power and Money Gang, Sword King Qu Hanshui. He was chased like a stray dog and fled to Yangzhou. Later, he joined the Xia Clan and relied on the power of the Drizzle Building to avoid this disaster."
Xu Tianqi and Meng Yuqiong were talking in front. Xu Jinyi tactfully took half a step back and looked curiously at Shi Xuan. "I say, Senior Shi, I've been wandering around the clan every day. Why haven't I seen you? I've seen Senior Mu Jin a few times."
Shi Xuan had no choice but to use the excuse that the Xu Clan had made up. "My master is an elder who lives in seclusion. He likes peace and quiet and lives in a small alley in the west of the city. Of course, I also live there."
"Oh, I wonder which elder it is. After I came back, I paid my respects to each of them. Which elder is your master?" The beauty in embroidered clothes had the spirit to get to the bottom of things. Meng Yuqiong also seemed to be interested in this question. Shi Xuan's powerful soul cultivation had sharp senses. Meng Yuqiong stealthily shifted her attention to Shi Xuan. After she heard that Shi Xuan was only Xu Tianqi's junior, she didn't pay much attention to him.
Shi Xuan's expression turned serious. "My master passed away almost a year ago."
After saying this, Shi Xuan felt that Meng Yuqiong's gaze had fallen on him.
Xu Jinyi stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Shi. By the way, what realm have you reached in your martial arts cultivation? How do you compare with Third Brother? "
Shi Shuan thought to himself that it was really hard to compare. If it was just comparing martial arts cultivation, then honestly speaking, "In terms of fist and leg techniques, Senior Brother Xu is definitely more powerful." As for the issue of the realm, he selectively ignored it.
Because his words were vague, it attracted Meng Yuqiong's attention. Shi Xuan's sharp senses sensed that Meng Yuqiong's gaze was slightly directed at him.
Xu Jinyi didn't seem to hear anything vague. "Of course. My Fifth Brother is a famous young genius in the pugilistic world."
Shi Xuan was also idle. He smiled and said to the little girl, "Sister Jinyi, what realm have you reached in your martial arts cultivation?" Xu Jinyi heard that Shi Xuan had called her so intimately in such a short time. She rolled her eyes at him fiercely. However, this question touched her heart. She happily replied, "I recently broke through to the Qi Cultivation Stage." She looked very proud. Her face was full of praise and admiration.
Shi Xuan naturally followed her advice. "Sister Jinyi, you're really amazing. You're not any worse than your Fifth Brother when he was young." Xu Jinyi was very happy and began to chat with Shi Xuan. The little girl was not shrewd. After entering the house, she even talked about her admiration for White-dressed Master Liu Suiyun, one of the four young masters of the pugilistic world. She said that Master Liu had already reached the peak of the Houtian Realm at such a young age and was most likely to enter the Subtle State in the future. (According to Lao Dao Xu, the Out-Of-Body Realm corresponds to the Subtle State. His soul is strengthened to the Out-Of-Body Realm, but there is no way to leave the body.) He was handsome and talented. Why didn't those old masters list him as one of the top five grandmasters in the world?
The sky was not completely dark yet. After entering the house, one could see that the whole house was very grand. It did not feel gloomy at all. It was not until they were about to enter the central hall that Shi Xuan acutely felt a little gloomy.
Before entering the central hall, Xu Tianqi quietly took half a step behind and whispered to Shi Xuan, "The Double Killer of the Sword and Saber was a famous murderer on the Ganlong Road. He killed without batting an eye and was responsible for more than a hundred murders. I remember the ancestor said that even ghosts should avoid people with such a strong murderous aura."
Shi Xuan thought for a while and said to Xu Tianqi with a smile, "I have a way to make sure that you'll be respected in front of your sister Yuqiong." Xu Tianqi then quickened his pace and entered the central hall with Meng Yuqiong and Xu Jinyi.
Shi Xuan and Mu Jin, the quiet and tall young man who was often ignored, followed behind.
