Cheng Buhui stood in the lobby of the inn, leaning on his heavy sword. His eyes were filled with seriousness.
Chu Xiu's words were filled with a dense coldness that actually made him feel a chill even though it wasn't cold.
However, the only good thing about the fight just now was that they were sure that Chu Xiu was the only one who came after them.
In that situation, Chu Xiu could easily deal with the two of them. If he had brought the other martial artists from the Guanzhong Torture Room or the people from Eastern Qi, the five of them would not have been able to stop him.
Looking at the destroyed inn, Cheng Buhui put his hand into his pocket, but his face was filled with embarrassment.
Qiu Dongmao was very perceptive. Seeing this, he immediately took out a banknote and stuffed it into the innkeeper's hand. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry for damaging your inn. Take this as a reward."
The innkeeper looked at the amount on the banknote and nodded with a smile. "It's enough. Thank you, Young Master."
The banknote that Qiu Dongmao took out was enough to buy his inn, let alone compensate for his loss.
The rest of the Jiangdong's Five Heroes had a better impression of Qiu Dongmao when they saw this.
In fact, the Jiangdong's Five Heroes were living a rather shabby life. After all, they were all rogue cultivators, and they were motivated to be chivalrous and help the needy. Basically, they did not have much income.
Most of their income came from killing some villains or robbers, or exterminating some bandits and the like, and robbing some things from them.
However, they had to keep the cultivation resources that they had robbed for themselves. After all, they were also martial artists, and they needed a lot of resources to increase their cultivation speed.
However, some of the gold, silver, and other treasures were exchanged for money and given to the poor. It could be considered as robbing the rich to help the poor, so they lived a very simple life.
Cheng Buhui coughed and said, "Chu Xiu is alone now, but I can't guarantee that there's someone behind him. To avoid any trouble, let's leave now."
The others nodded and immediately turned around to leave.
The other rogue cultivators in the inn looked at each other. Chu Xiu, who was ranked sixth on the Longhu Leaderboard, was going against the Five Heroes of River East. This was a big deal. If they sold this news to the Wind Sweeping Tower, they might be able to make a small profit.
Of course, no one cared about Qiu Dongmao, who was the main target. In front of Chu Xiu and the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, Qiu Dongmao was just a supporting character.
After fleeing through the night, another day passed. Cheng Buhui and the others were able to hold on, but after midnight, Qiu Dongmao was already exhausted. Even though the others were carrying Qiu Dongmao on their backs, he was unable to hold on.
Therefore, after nightfall, Cheng Buhui did not sense any trace of Chu Xiu. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Let's take a break and eat something."
Hearing Cheng Buhui's words, the others also found a big tree and rested behind it. They lit a bonfire and roasted their rations.
At this time, they were not afraid of being discovered by Chu Xiu, because they did not hide their traces along the way.
Anyway, Chu Xiu's strength was obvious, and he was only one person. They only needed to protect Qiu Dongmao from being killed.
Next to the bonfire, Wu Tiandong finished roasting a pancake and handed it to Liu Qingqing. "Fifth sister, come, eat something."
The others also knew that Wu Tiandong admired Liu Qingqing, but no one said anything. They were used to it anyway.
Liu Qingqing took the pancake and smiled. "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Although she was a woman, she had already adapted to this kind of wandering life after following others around for so many years. Therefore, she did not mind it and directly picked up the pancake to eat.
Wu Tiandong leaned against Liu Qingqing and said, "Fifth sister, after eating, rest for a while. With the five of us here, Chu Xiu will not dare to make a move."
Liu Qingqing shook her head. "No need, I am not that delicate."
Just at this time, Liu Qingqing suddenly lowered her voice and transmitted her voice, "Fourth Brother, since Qiu Dongmao said that he is on the Crown Prince's side, then when we go to Glazed Ink City this time, will we also join the Crown Prince?"
Wu Tiandong said in surprise, "Fifth sister, why do you think so?"
Liu Qingqing looked at the sky and said in a downcast tone, "We have been sworn brothers for so many years and have also roamed the Jianghu for so many years. We can be considered to have some fame.
However, fame is fame, and we are still considered young. But what about ten years later, twenty years later? Are we going to continue like this?
Sometimes, we women think more than you men do. "
Wu Tiandong hesitated. "I have not really thought about this, but I will listen to Big Brother. Whatever Big Brother wants me to do, I will do it."
Wu Tiandong was a little rash and impulsive, so most of the time he would only listen to Cheng Buhui. Anyway, in his opinion, what Big Brother said must be right. As long as he listened to Big Brother, then he would not be wrong. It was that simple.
Liu Qingqing forced a smile. Wu Tiandong did not realize that in fact, no matter what kind of woman they were, they would not like an impulsive and brainless man who did not have any opinions of his own.
Cheng Buhui and the others did not pay attention to the secret transmission between the two of them. Anyway, everyone knew about Wu Tiandong and Liu Qingqing, so they thought that he was whispering sweet nothings to Liu Qingqing.
However, Cheng Buhui and the others did not know that Chu Xiu's figure was on a big tree a hundred feet away from them. His black clothes were hidden in the night, and his eyes shone with a deep and cold light.
It was indeed very troublesome for him to deal with the Five Heroes of Jiangdong alone.
When they fought in the inn before, he had already come up with a countermeasure. If he fought with all his strength, it would not be a problem for him to kill the second brother, Dong Xiangyi, and the third brother, Lu Tong. However, if Cheng Buhui joined in, Chu Xiu would almost certainly lose.
Cheng Buhui's strength was probably only one step away from the Oneness of Heaven and Man state. If he fought Cheng Buhui one-on-one, Chu Xiu was not sure that he could win.
Although Wu Tiandong and Liu Qingqing's strength was not great, they were not wooden blocks. If they secretly attacked from the side, they would still be able to cause a lot of damage to Chu Xiu.
Therefore, Chu Xiu had never considered fighting them head-on, and he did not plan to find someone to help him.
With Chu Xiu's connections in Eastern Qi, he could find Mo Tianlin. However, this time, he mainly came for Qiu Zhensheng's cultivation method. He had no intention of sharing it with anyone else.
Since they could not be defeated from the outside, he would let them rot from the inside. The identities and secrets of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong were very interesting. In the original plot, it would be a very exciting drama. Now, Chu Xiu did not mind letting the drama play out earlier.
…
After eating the cake, Liu Qingqing stood up and said, "I'm going to relieve myself."
Cheng Buhui said, "Be careful. Don't go too far. Let Fourth Brother go with you."
Wu Tiandong immediately stood up and said, "Leave it to me."
He had fought with Chu Xiu before. Although he knew that he was no match for Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu would not be able to kill him in a second. He was not that useless.
Cheng Buhui nodded and did not care. The five of them were here. As long as Liu Qingqing did not go too far, they would be able to help in time if Chu Xiu attacked. No matter how strong Chu Xiu was, he was not strong enough to kill them in a second.
Liu Qingqing also knew the severity of the situation. She did not know where Chu Xiu was now, so she naturally would not go too far. They were all from Jianghu, not a noble family, so there was no need to be so particular.
Therefore, Liu Qingqing only walked about 60 meters away. However, when she saw that Wu Tiandong was still following her, Liu Qingqing could not help but say, "Why are you still following me? Do you want to take a look?"
Wu Tiandong's face turned red. He scratched his head and said, "I'll go somewhere further and help you guard it."
As he spoke, Wu Tiandong moved another 30 meters away and stood under a tree with his back facing Liu Qingqing.
However, at this moment, a low, mocking voice suddenly sounded. "Tsk tsk, it seems that you really think of Liu Qingqing as a goddess. You can't even bear to blaspheme her. However, you should know that there are many people who have 'visited' her place, and they are all your acquaintances."
Chu Xiu!
Wu Tiandong was instantly shocked. His hand subconsciously grasped his Autumn Moon Blade and he wanted to shout.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu did not attack. He only made a shushing gesture and said indifferently, "Don't make a sound. I did not want to attack. Otherwise, I would have attacked long ago. Don't you want to hear some secrets about your fifth sister?"
Wu Tiandong's hand gradually loosened, and he swallowed the words that he was about to shout.
At this moment, Chu Xiu restrained his aura and even crossed his arms in front of his chest. He indeed had no intention of attacking. Otherwise, with Chu Xiu's strength, he would be at a disadvantage even if he was not seriously injured by a sneak attack.
Thinking of what Chu Xiu had said just now, Wu Tiandong frowned and said in a low voice, "What did you mean just now?"
Chu Xiu smiled. "What did I mean? You really are very simple. Don't tell me that after so many years in the martial world, you are still a virgin. Are you really going to preserve your Yang energy and cultivate the virgin technique? "
Wu Tiandong's face showed a trace of embarrassment and anger. He said angrily, "Chu Xiu! What do you mean? "
Chu Xiu spread out his hands. "Don't mind me, I was just joking just now. But what if I said that the fifth sister you have always admired, the goddess in your heart, the existence that even you can't bear to blaspheme, has an affair with all three of your sworn brothers? What would you do?"
Wu Tiandong's eyes widened when he heard this. He directly grasped his Autumn Moon Blade and shouted angrily in a low voice, "Nonsense!"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Don't get agitated. Listen to me carefully. If you attract others, you won't be able to hear the rest of the exciting content."
