Just as Chu Xiu and the others were patiently waiting there, a commotion suddenly came from the foot of the mountain. A group of cultivators clustered around a few people as they walked up, greeting each other. Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows; it seemed like some important people had arrived.
Chu Xiu turned his head and asked a slightly wretched looking martial artist beside him, "Old Bao, do you know who's coming?"
Old Bao was a local rogue martial artist in Lu Yang Town. He was the guy who was almost hacked to death by Liu Yuanhai when Zhang Baitao and the others besieged Chu Xiu. Fortunately, he was saved by Lu Fengxian.
Chu Xiu and Lu Fengxian met him when they returned to Lu Yang Town. After thanking Lu Fengxian for saving his life, he stayed by their side. After all, he was only a Body Tempering Realm martial artist. It was an honor to be able to stay by the side of a Xiantian Realm martial artist.
Chu Xiu did not drive him away. Although Bao Laosan's strength was poor, he was the local bully of Lyuyang Town. Moreover, he was a gossipy person, so he knew a lot about the martial arts in the counties around Linzhong Commandery. With Bao Laosan's presence, Chu Xiu could get a lot of news.
Old Bao's eyes showed a hint of envy when he heard that. He said, "Who else in the Northern Yan Land can have such a big show? Of course it's the young master of the Loyalty Village, 'Ling Yun Bu Yu' Nie Dongliu.
Tsk tsk, it's said that Young Master Nie is talented and humble. He has connections all over the martial arts world. There's even a rumor that if you can become friends with Young Master Nie, the Loyalty Village will always open its doors to you.
It's a pity that I, Old Bao, am not capable enough. I won't have the chance to step into the Loyalty Village in this lifetime. "
Hearing Nie Dongliu's name, Chu Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold light. He said indifferently, "The doors of the morgue will indeed be open to Nie Dongliu's friends. However, if you want to be Nie Dongliu's friend, you must be worthy. Worthless existences are not worthy of being his friend."
Third Bao did not dare to say anything. The Morgue was so famous in the Northern Yan that even a low-level martial artist like him did not dare to say anything bad about it.
Surrounded by the crowd, Nie Dong Liu had a smile on his face as he greeted the many warriors present. He recognized some of them, but most of them he didn't know. Regardless of whether these people were strong or weak, Nie Dong Liu took care of every aspect of his appearance, not leaving anything out. He gave off a feeling like a spring breeze, and attracted the praise of all the warriors present.
After greeting everyone one by one, there were only a dozen people left beside Nie Dongliu. These people were all from large clans or sects near Lyu Yang Mountain. They all had experts in the Fifth Tier of the Qi Controlling Realm, which was why they could chat and laugh with Nie Dongliu here.
Among them, a tall and handsome man in a golden robe stood up. He was even second to Lu Fengxian in appearance. He cupped his hands at Nie Dongliu and said, "Young Master, I heard that you've been in seclusion in the Loyalty Village. Why did you come to Lyu Yang Mountain this time? I thought that the Loyalty Village would only send some ordinary disciples to have a look. I didn't expect you to come personally. Whether there are treasures in Lyu Yang Mountain or not, you can't just leave like this. I recently found a batch of good wine. It's a fifty-year-old Drunken Dragon Incense! I'm waiting for you to taste it. "
Nie Dongliu smiled and said, "Being in seclusion in the Loyalty Village is a bit boring. This is a good opportunity to relax. I heard that the Yue Clan of Beiling Prefecture is preparing a marriage alliance with the Mu Clan of Beiling Prefecture. Is this batch of Drunken Dragon Incense going to be prepared for the engagement ceremony? "
This young man was the eldest son of the Yue Clan of Beiling Prefecture, Yue Luchuan of Linzhong Prefecture.
The Yue Clan had a very high status in Beiling Prefecture. When the Beiling Prefecture was mentioned, people would only think of the Yue Clan. In Beiling Prefecture, the other small clans couldn't compare to the Yue Clan at all.
When Yue Luchuan heard Nie Dongliu's question, his expression changed. He forced a smile and said, "It's just an engagement ceremony. It's not a big deal. When would the young master like to drink this Drunken Dragon Incense? I'll prepare it immediately."
Someone teased him, "Young Master Yue, are you not very satisfied with this marriage? The Mu Clan's young lady is also very beautiful. Young Master Yue, weren't you very happy about it before?
I heard that you went to Yan South a while ago and hooked up with the daughter of the Divine Martial Sect's Sect Leader in just a few months. I'm afraid you don't like that small clan in Beiling Prefecture anymore.
Young master, I'm afraid you won't be able to attend the engagement ceremony. Young Master Yue is probably planning to break the engagement, right? "
Nie Dongliu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was Yue Luchuan's family matter, so he didn't care. However, he was a little interested in the matter of Yue Luchuan hooking up with the Divine Martial Sect's young lady.
The Divine Martial Sect was also a large clan in Northern Yan, one of the seven sects and eight schools. It was located in Yan South, but it was a little far from here. Linzhong Prefecture and Leping Prefecture were both in Yan East.
However, the Divine Martial Sect was still one of the seven sects and eight schools, and was much stronger than the Yue Clan. If Yue Luchuan could really marry the Divine Martial Sect, then the Yue Clan's power would increase by a lot.
Of course, Nie Dongliu didn't care for such methods. He was a strong person. If he wanted to gain power, he could rely on methods and schemes, but he would never choose to rely on women.
Most importantly, this guy was still engaged. If he broke the engagement now and went to find a higher power, the Yue Clan's reputation would be tarnished.
Yue Luchuan angrily pointed at the warrior and shouted, "Shut up! Don't spread rumors in front of the Young Master. When did the Yue Clan plan to break the engagement? If you talk nonsense again, I won't let you off! "
Seeing that the tension between the two sides was rather strong, Nie Dongliu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. He said, "Alright, everyone. It is not worth fighting over such a small matter. By the way, does anyone know if Chu Xiu is on Lu Yang Mountain?"
Everyone present had a perplexed look on their faces. To these warriors who came from large factions, whether it was Chu Xiu's annihilation of the Mountain Sun Prefecture's Zhang Family or his massacre in Lyu Yang Town, these were considered trivial matters. Of course, they had never heard of them.
As for Zhang Baitao, although he was a disciple of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, this was Northern Yan, far away from West Chu. Except for the people of Shanyang Prefecture, no one else had even heard of Zhang Baitao's name. If an elder of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect died here, it would probably cause a stir.
At this moment, a person from a small aristocratic family in the vicinity of Lu Yang Town walked out and said, "The Chu Xiu that Young Manor Master mentioned, is he the Chu Xiu that killed four Xiantian Realm martial artists in Lu Yang Town?"
Nie Dongliu said, "Yes, that's him. Is he on Luyang Mountain now?"
That warrior had the lowest status in this group. Usually, he could only watch Nie Dongliu talk and laugh with others. At this time, he finally found a chance to interact with Nie Dongliu. He quickly said, "I heard from the servants that he has been on Luyang Mountain for a few days. I'll take you there now, young master."
Nie Dongliu turned around and cupped his hands at the others. He said, "Everyone, please chat first. I'll go get to know a rising young talent in the Jianghu. I'll bring him to you later."
Everyone present nodded. They knew that Nie Dongliu was forthright and loyal, and liked to make friends. However, in their opinion, Nie Dongliu should be making friends with warriors who came from powerful factions. What was the point of hanging out with those Jianghu ruffians who had no background?
At this time, Chu Xiu was still chatting with Lu Fengxian. Third Bao, who was next to them, would interrupt from time to time, gossiping about the local Jianghu.
At this time, they felt that most of the people around them were looking at them. Chu Xiu looked up and saw a warrior walking toward them with Nie Dongliu in a humble manner.
Third Bao, who was behind them, opened his mouth wide. He had just been talking about Nie Dongliu. He did not expect to see him in person so soon. This made him very excited.
Coming to Chu Xiu and Lu Fengxian, Nie Dongliu cupped his hands and said, "Are you Brother Chu Xiu?"
After that, Nie Dongliu looked at Lu Fengxian and asked, "And this is?"
Lu Fengxian said lightly, "Lu Fengxian of Yuyang in Yanxi, just a nobody."
Nie Dongliu thought about it and laughed out loud. "Young Marquis Wen is quite famous in Yanxi. How can you be a nobody?"
Lu Fengxian was a little surprised. She did not expect Nie Dongliu to even know his name. However, Lu Fengxian's expression was still calm.
In fact, Lu Fengxian had a good impression of Nie Dongliu. After all, there was no one in the entire Northern Yan who would say bad things about Nie Dongliu.
However, after knowing the grudge between Chu Xiu and Nie Dongliu, and listening to Chu Xiu's analysis of Nie Dongliu's character, Lu Fengxian now felt that Nie Dongliu's courteous and forthright smile was a little fake.
In the original plot, the two of them were good friends. However, with Chu Xiu's interference in this life, the two of them were completely strangers.
