There were six young men in Gusu City. One of them was in front, and the other five were behind him. They dashed through the streets like firefighters.
"Damn it!"
"Young Li, can't you stop for a while and tell us?"
"You're running so fast. I think you're running away with the money."
"Don't be so evil. How much money is it? It's not a big deal, huh?" The five young men chased after him until their mouths were dry, but they did not forget to shout and tease him.
Only the man in green robes followed behind them while he stared at Whirlwind Young Li's back with a contemplative look.
Only when they entered a weapon shop did the six of them have a chance to catch their breaths!
Whirlwind Young Li's face was red, and his heart raced. He slapped the counter and shouted in a very heroic manner, "Shopkeeper, give me five sets of lancet knives and give me the money!"
"Thank you for your kindness. Fifty taels of silver crumbs." The shopkeeper cast Whirlwind Young Li a glance and extended his hand to ask for money.
"What the heck? I thought you wanted to borrow a lot of money, but at the end of the day, it's only fifty taels of silver crumbs, and you're even borrowing from the five of us … "When the five people chased after him, they nearly died of anger. One of them gestured with five fingers, and his expression was exaggerated.
As it turned out, Young Li did not know the price of lancet knives either. He only told the five that he wanted to borrow money from them. Then, he brought the five mobile ATMs back to Gusu City. Even though fifty taels of silver crumbs would take some time for a newbie to earn, it was nothing for the five of them.
The only thing that puzzled the five was Whirlwind Young Li's reaction!
'Is there a need to be so anxious to buy something?' 'He's so anxious, it's too ridiculous! 'Those who don't know might think that he's running off to be a filial son.'
Eastern Green Gate, who had not spoken since the start, had a resigned and anguished smile on his face. He shook his head and walked to the counter.
"Whirlwind Young Li, you've really made us suffer today! What's going on? Why did you let Whirlwind Young Li run like the wind? You didn't even stop for a moment? We've been waiting in the tavern for a long time, and when we saw the rascal come out, you did it! You just picked up your butt and ran! "
"I'm sorry, bros. I have something urgent to do, and it's very important. I'm about to cross Suzhou Creek and deliver the item to someone. Once I come back, I'll apologize to you."
When they heard Whirlwind Young Li wrap his fist in his palm, the group became even more curious.
"There's no need to apologize, it's not a big deal. Tell us clearly, what's going on … What did you send? Who would dare to order you around like a porter? "
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
At that moment, Eastern Green Gate seemed to have figured out something from Young Whirlwind's words. He asked in surprise and bewilderment, "Cross Suzhou Creek? Is the messenger pigeon in Black Wind Stronghold? "
Among the six of them, Eastern Green Gate happened to have crossed the river once, and he knew where the Black Wind Stronghold was. When he heard that, he seemed to have triggered something, and his expression changed!
Whirlwind Young Li was also curious.
"Brother Qing, you also know this place?"
"…"
A solemn expression appeared briefly on Eastern Green Gate's face, and he nodded.
"That's right. I went there once before, and only after I passed through did I realize that the Black Wind Stronghold had sealed off one of the exits from Gusu City. Looks like your friend is pretty strong." When he said that, he cast a deep glance at the five sets of lancet knives the shopkeeper brought out. "He actually went to Black Wind Stronghold to train."
"Based on what you said, Brother Qing, could it be that Black Wind Stronghold is an even higher-level quest point? I still haven't dared to go to Cold Mountain Temple … "One of the young men cut in.
"What's going on with Black Wind Stronghold?" Everyone was incredibly curious about the location of a higher-level quest. Even the other players in the shop paid attention to it and perked up their ears.
A hint of awkwardness appeared on Eastern Green Gate's face.
"I don't know the specifics of Black Wind Stronghold either, but I do know that it's a bandit's nest. Even the lowest level mountain bandits are comparable to local ruffians, and they kill without batting an eyelid. Usually, there are at least two or three of them who appear together."
"Isn't that very dangerous?"
The group looked at each other at a loss and sucked in sharp breaths. At the same time, they became even more interested in the friend Whirlwind Young Li mentioned. "Brother Young Li, just who is that powerful friend of yours?"
At that moment, Eastern Green Gate spoke again.
"Even though there are quite a number of people who are stronger than me in Gusu City, there aren't many who can gain a foothold in Black Wind Stronghold. Young Whirlwind's powerful friend should be the one in the Murong Clan, right?"
When he reached the end of his sentence, his tone became hesitant and solemn. In fact, there was even a hint of anticipation in his voice.
"It's him?"
"Blue-robed Noble Sword User!"
The other four people's mouths fell open. They stared in disbelief at Whirlwind Young Li, who already had a smug look on his face. His expression was one of excitement and excitement, as if he was looking at a second Blue-robed Noble Sword User. "The last time I asked you, didn't you say that you weren't familiar with him? Why did he take the initiative to send you a letter today? "
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Once they obtained Whirlwind Young Li's tacit agreement, the group could no longer remain calm.
However, Whirlwind Young Li did not let the pride in his heart cloud his mind. He picked up the five sets of lancet knives from the counter and sucked in a deep breath. "I'll tell you about this later. I have to hurry up and deliver those things to him. He needs them urgently."
Right after he finished speaking, Eastern Green Gate's expression changed, and he blurted out.
"Could it be that he also triggered that quest?"
"Quest?"
The group could not help but cast their gazes on him. Their gazes were filled with a strong desire for knowledge.
"What quest?!"
"We can't drag this out. Let's go! I'll go with you, and I'll tell you on the way. "
Eastern Green Gate took half of the lancet knives from Young Li's hands and dragged him away.
"Hey, wait for me."
"Me too!"
There was no way he would miss out on such a "good thing" like this. The four of them thought that they would be able to talk to the Blue-robed Noble Sword User at a close distance, so there was no way they would want to miss this chance. They quickly chased after him out of the city.
On the way, they asked around.
'So …
All players with ninth realm martial arts and chivalry points can trigger the plot of Black Wind Mountain on the other side of Suzhou Creek.
The day before yesterday, Eastern Green Gate had experienced this.
At that time, he had also accepted the quest, but when he saw the powerful people from Black Wind Mountain, he could not win against the mountain bandits, and he died.
"Ah."
"Why didn't you mention this before?"
"This isn't something good." Eastern Green Gate instantly found himself speechless.
After a long while, he said to Whirlwind Young Li,
"By the looks of it, your eldest senior brother should have a way to deal with the people from Black Wind Mountain, or else he wouldn't be in such a hurry. As expected of the Blue-robed Noble Sword User, the best swordsman in Gusu City. I can't compare to him." Even though he said that, he wanted to personally witness his eldest senior brother's abilities.
Soon …
The group crossed the river!
In the distance, across the river, the six people could vaguely see a blue figure. He stood tall against the wind on the opposite bank. His robes fluttered, and his hero's bandana fluttered in the wind. He held his longsword casually in his hand, and it was as if he was in a movie.
"Blue-robed Noble Sword User!"
The six people, including Whirlwind Young Li, held their breaths at the same time. This was the bearing of the eldest senior brother of the Murong Clan. He was the epitome of a true wanderer.
