Oh ~ ~ ~ I have to go back to my hometown tomorrow and attend the wedding the day after tomorrow.
"You're the junior brother Chu Mu that Boss Xiao mentioned?"
After Chu Mu reported his identity, Xia You actually revealed a look of understanding, which made Chu Mu a little stunned. It seemed that Senior Brother Xiao Qianfeng had a good relationship with Xia You, otherwise, he wouldn't have told him this.
Since Chu Mu's identity was confirmed, Xia You let down his guard against Chu Mu and brought Chu Mu to Xiao Qianfeng's hiding place. Along the way, he even asked Chu Mu several times, appearing to be very curious.
Chu Mu didn't know what Senior Brother Xiao had told Xia You, but he still answered him without the slightest bit of impatience. He was just a little excited in his heart.
"Senior Brother Xiao was chased by those bastards from the Heaven Burying Sword Sect and is now slightly injured. I came out to scout for information, but I didn't expect to meet the people from the Heaven Burying Sword Sect. If I didn't meet Brother Chu, I would definitely be brought back to the Heaven Burying Sword Sect," Xia You said as he led the way.
"Senior Brother Xiao is injured? Is it serious?" Chu Mu's eyes flashed as he hurriedly asked.
"It's not very serious, but he still needs to recuperate for a period of time." Xia You was shocked by Chu Mu's sudden burst of killing intent and hurriedly said.
Hearing that Xiao Qianfeng's injuries weren't very serious, Chu Mu was relieved, but his killing intent towards the Heaven Burying Sword Sect only increased.
Tong Tian Town was indeed a very mixed town. Chu Mu didn't stop when he passed by, so he didn't feel it deeply. However, now that he followed Xia You into Tong Tian Town, he could feel the chaotic aura everywhere.
Presumably, Xiao Qianfeng's hiding place was extremely secretive. Xia You brought Chu Mu around the majority of Tong Tian Town. Moreover, they took small paths that were extremely remote. Most of the paths were pitch black, and none of the paths were repeated.
Chu Mu was also very patient.
Finally, Xia You stopped in front of a very secluded house. Then, he raised his hand and knocked on the door nine times rhythmically, as if it was some kind of secret signal.
"Come in." About ten breaths later, a weak voice came from inside.
Xia You pushed open the wooden door and explained to Chu Mu, "This is the secret signal that Boss Xiao and I have agreed on. If I come, I will knock nine times. If the door is pushed open directly, it means that it is not me, and Boss Xiao has to hide in the cellar first."
"There are two cellars here. One is a normal cellar, and the other is a very secret cellar. Other than the person who built it, no one else knows about it."
Chu Mu nodded. This Xia You looked like a person who was cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. Chu Mu did not expect him to be so cautious and watertight.
"Boss Xiao, guess who I brought …" After Xia You brought Chu Mu into the small courtyard, he said excitedly. However, his voice was not loud and was controlled within a certain range.
Chu Mu also saw a person walk out of the small house. That familiar figure made Chu Mu even more excited.
"Senior Brother Xiao," Chu Mu shouted.
"You are … Junior Brother Chu …" When Xiao Qianfeng heard Chu Mu's words, his face was first filled with astonishment. Then, his whole body shook, and an indescribable ecstasy appeared on his face. He rushed over with large strides.
"Junior Brother Chu, it really is you …" Xiao Qianfeng pressed his hands on Chu Mu's shoulders. His face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were trembling. His heart was in a perilous situation.
"Senior Brother Xiao, it's me." Chu Mu calmed down first, but the excitement in his heart was still there.
The two of them were both people who weren't good with words. Chu Mu was a bit better, but Xiao Qianfeng was truly a man of few words. Although he was extremely excited, he mostly hid it in his heart and only showed a small portion of it.
Xia You stood at the side and did not say anything. He knew that now was not the time for him to speak.
After a while, Xiao Qianfeng also calmed down.
"Junior Brother Chu, inside," Xiao Qianfeng said.
The three of them walked into the house and closed the door. Xia You took out a Luminous Pearl and placed it on the table. Immediately, the darkness in the small house was dispelled, and the house lit up.
"Senior Brother Xiao, how are your injuries?" Chu Mu asked as soon as he sat down.
"I should be fine after recuperating for half a month," Xiao Qianfeng said, a trace of sharpness flashing in his eyes.
"I have some healing pills here. They are very effective. After taking them, they will dissolve. Senior Brother Xiao's injuries should be healed in less than three days," Chu Mu said as he took out a bottle of pills from his spatial wristband.
This pill belonged to Cheng Yuanchuan. It was a pill used by Origin Realm swordsmen, and it was the more precious kind. It would definitely be effective for a Qi Hai swordsman to use.
Xiao Qianfeng nodded. He did not decline, nor did he say any polite words, and took the bottle of pills.
"Junior Brother, when did you come to the Central Main Sword Region?" Xiao Qianfeng did not immediately take the pills, but asked instead.
"A few months ago." Chu Mu gave a rough explanation.
"Did Junior Brother go to the Heavenly Sword Tower?" Xiao Qianfeng asked again.
"I went to the Heavenly Sword Tower and saw Senior Brother Xiao's name on the Heavenly Sword Ranking. That's why I went to look for Senior Brother Xiao," Chu Mu said.
"When I went out, I was found by the Buried Heaven Sword Sect. If it wasn't for Brother Chu's timely appearance, I would have been in danger," Xia You quickly said.
"I also heard people talking about you at the top of the Tongtian Mountain, so I rushed down to find you," Chu Mu said with a smile.
This Xia You's sword qi was at the peak of the Qi Hai realm. Looking at his age, he should be around the same age as Chu Mu. At most, he was younger by a few months. It would be rare for someone to have this kind of cultivation at this age in the Eastern Main Sword Region, but it was normal in the Central Main Sword Region.
However, this Xia You also had the strength of a Sword Master, but it was probably just a normal Sword Master. Otherwise, he would not have been chased by the four swordsmen from the Buried Heaven Sword Sect.
The Central Main Sword Region was blessed by the heavens. There were many swordsmen who had the strength of a Sword Master. Even if they could not become a Sword Master before the age of thirty, many swordsmen would have the strength of a normal Sword Master after the age of thirty. Some of them could even have the strength of a strong Sword Master.
As for Xiao Qianfeng's cultivation, he was also at the peak of the Qi Hai realm. After all, he had received the inheritance of the Sword Dao. Even if it was only the Hinayana Sword Dao, he was still stronger than swordsmen who did not receive the inheritance of the Sword Dao. Also, he had entered the Central Main Sword Region a few years ago, so the skill he practiced absorbed Spirit Qi.
Although they were both at the peak of the Qi Hai realm, Xiao Qianfeng's strength was much stronger than Xia You's. There was no comparison between the two. Xiao Qianfeng could probably kill Xia You in one strike.
"I'll go get some food and drink. Let's have a good chat." Xia You stood up and left in big strides.
Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng chatted to their hearts' content. They both asked about each other's situation in the past few years.
Chu Mu briefly explained everything that had happened in the Eastern Sword Region. He kept some of the more in-depth information to himself. It was not that he did not trust Xiao Qianfeng, but that there were some things that could be said. There were some things that did not need to be said so clearly and thoroughly. It was enough for him to know.
"Junior brother's experience is really exciting. The Great Kun Sword Palace, the Heaven Wasteland Palace, the Battle for Fortune. If only I could participate …" Xiao Qianfeng showed a trace of yearning.
"Senior brother Xiao is now ranked eighth on the Heavenly Sword Hero Ranking. In the Eastern Sword Region, you would be a Sword Hero King. Your experience must be very exciting. I can't wait." Chu Mu smiled and said, "I wonder where senior brother Xiao went after falling off the cliff?"
"I was saved by someone." Xiao Qianfeng replied. His eyes flashed with traces of memories. Chu Mu actually saw a trace of tenderness in Xiao Qianfeng's eyes.
Tenderness?
Chu Mu thought that he had seen wrongly. Xiao Qianfeng's impression in Chu Mu's heart was not tenderness at all.
"Could it be an illusion?" Chu Mu thought to himself. But as Xiao Qianfeng continued speaking, he knew that it was not an illusion. Xiao Qianfeng had someone in his heart that he cared about.
Immediately, he could not help but feel happy for senior brother Xiao. This was good. Although he was pursuing the pinnacle of the Way of the Sword, it did not mean that he had cut off all emotions and desires.
The Way of the Sword was not the Way of the Heartless. Of course, the majority of swordsmen chose to cast aside all emotions and focus on the Way of the Sword. They walked a lonely path. But since ancient times, there were also some swordsmen who had partners. Not only did they not neglect the Way of the Sword, but they also received an inexplicable boost and rushed to a higher level.
Among the various Mahayana Sword Daos that the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon had told Chu Mu, one of them was called the Emotional Sword Dao.
No matter what, it was a good thing that Xiao Qianfeng had someone in his heart that he cared about.
"Senior brother Xiao, when are you going to bring me to visit senior sister's wife?" Chu Mu joked.
"Cough cough …" Xiao Qianfeng, who was speaking, seemed to have choked. His face was red, and Chu Mu laughed. "There will be a chance in the future …"
Seeing that Xiao Qianfeng was so thin-skinned, Chu Mu did not continue to tease him. Instead, he asked about Xiao Qianfeng's experience.
Exchanging experiences was also a kind of cultivation method. One could gain something from other people's experiences. Xiao Qianfeng naturally would not say everything. Some things only needed to be known by oneself.
From Xiao Qianfeng's experience, Chu Mu learned that Xiao Qianfeng had inherited the Endless Sword Dao. Later on, he had a fortuitous encounter and inherited the Lifeless Sword Dao.
The Lifeless Sword Dao and the Endless Sword Dao were both Mahayana Sword Daos. However, Mahayana Sword Daos were also divided into high and low levels. The Lifeless Sword Dao was much stronger than the Endless Sword Dao.
In history, there had been swordsmen who had inherited two Sword Daos. However, they were two Sword Daos with similar power. Moreover, they each had their own characteristics and could even complement each other.
The Endless Sword Dao was inferior to the Lifeless Sword Dao. One only needed to choose one of the two.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Qianfeng gave up on the Endless Sword Dao and chose the Lifeless Sword Dao. This was before he challenged for the Sword Hero title. Therefore, his Sword Hero title was called Lifeless Sword Hero and not Endless Sword Hero.
Among the Mahayana Sword Dao that the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon had taught Chu Mu, the Lifeless Sword Dao was one of the top Mahayana Sword Daos. It was also Xiao Qianfeng's fortune to be able to obtain such a Sword Dao inheritance.
Not long after, Xia You returned with steaming dishes and wine. He placed them on the table and poured wine. The three of them drank and chatted. With the help of wine, the topic became more and more open, and they became more familiar with each other. (To be continued.)
