Qiu Yin was actually a little excited in her heart.
That was because either one of the two people who were about to fight was a martial arts legend of the present age.
However, at that moment, the blond man, Jiang Qiubai, suddenly smiled and said, "Fine, fine, fine. I'll leave, okay? Senior Brother, after so many years, you're still so easily teased. Once I tease you, you get angry … Haha, okay, okay, I'm leaving. But, Senior Brother, you have to look after sister-in-law. Otherwise, I might succeed next time. “
After saying that, he waved his hand in a carefree manner. Then, his figure gradually disappeared into the void like a faded ink painting.
The grassland experts under his command also quickly retreated. Their cultivation techniques were quite strange. Some of them leaned against a tree and disappeared without a trace. Some rolled toward the grass and also disappeared. There was also someone who jumped into the void and turned into a bird, soaring into the sky …
Guo Yuqing did not pursue him.
Qiu Yin did not make a move either.
"Ahhh … I'm back. In the distance, a stream of light, like a flash of lightning, arrived in an instant. Li Mu came back on his flying broadsword. When he saw the scene, he was slightly stunned and asked, "What's going on? Where is he? “
"He has already left," Qiu Yin said.
"Damn it! You want to run away after showing off?" Li Mu was furious.
Ever since he set up the Dragon-assembling Pattern and even defeated a Sage-to-be, he had been so full of himself these days that he felt he was invincible. Therefore, even though he knew that the golden-haired man, Jiang Qiubai, was at the same level as Li Poyue, the Guanshan Master, he still wanted to challenge him. But to his surprise … he was sent flying by Jiang Qiubai's punch.
He wouldn't be able to get back at them in a short time.
Demon King Li felt very depressed.
"Thank you for today, brother. Otherwise … the consequences would have been unimaginable." Guo Yuqing cast a grateful look at Li Mu and then said to Qiu Yin, "I've long heard of the Guanshan Pasture's demeanor as the top one of the young generation. Now that I've seen you in person, you really deserve your reputation. Thank you for your help."
"Haha, Big Brother, don't mention it. As your brother, you don't need to thank me." Li Mu laughed. "As long as my sister-in-law, my niece, and my nephew are all fine. A bunch of rascals. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise, I would have beaten the shit out of him. "
Guo Yuqing had gotten used to Li Mu's attitude.
"Big brother." Yaya took the initiative to greet Li Mu.
Li Mu said, "Call me uncle."
I'm from the same generation as your father.
Guo Yuqing and Liu Zhiyuan both shook their heads with a smile.
Li Mu was just like that. It was easy for children to like and get close to him.
Qiu Yin, on the other hand, was a little awed as he replied, "I dare not. How could I dare to show off in front of the master of the Everlasting Heaven, the strongest man on the prairie? Today, it's just a coincidence."
Guo Yuqing smiled and said, "The fame of the bladesman resounds like thunder in my ears. You don't have to be so polite. You are my friend, so you are my friend."
Li Mu also patted Qiu Yin on the shoulder and said, "Haha, little earthworm, don't be so polite. Bring out the spirit you had last night and compete with me in drinking. Don't be afraid. In a while, you will compete with Big Brother Guo in drinking. “
Qiu Yin thought to himself, 'The ignorant are fearless. Do you know who this person is?' 'Do you know how he once defeated all the heroes in the world?'
That being said, he was, after all, a representative of the bold and unconstrained school of martial arts. He was born bold. Unlike others, when they saw a martial arts legend, he would not be so weak that he couldn't even stand up. With Li Mu's jesting on the side, and Guo Yuqing's attitude was extremely easy-going, he did not have the domineering aura of a tiger that could conquer thousands of miles in the past at all. After saying that, Guo Yuqing let loose.
The group of people came to Guo Yuqing's home.
Liu Zhiyuan invited Li Mu and Qiu Yin to sit down and served the home-brewed jam wine and some desserts to entertain the guests. She was a clever woman with good hands and was very interested in life. She made the living room of the cottage very chic and cozy.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Mu behaved very obediently.
The little girl Yaya also liked to get close to Li Mu and was very intimate.
"Last night, I toasted with the little earthworm and discussed martial arts until dawn. Then, we talked about you. The little earthworm really wanted to meet the hero, so I came all the way here. Sorry for disturbing you and sister-in-law. I'll punish myself with a bottle of wine first." Li Mu held a bottle of jam wine with a smile and drank half of it in one breath.
Qiu Yin said angrily, "Hey, you are at least a dozen years older than me. Don't call me little earthworm. Show some respect to the seniors in Jianghu."
Li Mu curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Come on, Brother Guo and I are sworn brothers. Brother Guo's junior fellow apprentice is the same generation as your master. You do the math yourself. What do you want to call me?"
Qiu Yin was speechless.
"This seniority … is a bit too much."
Li Mu grinned and gulped down the rest of the wine in one gulp.
"Big brother, you are so greedy. Mom worked hard to make this one bottle, which is specially for dad to relieve his addiction to alcohol. But you drank it all." Yaya scratched her nose and said.
"Uh …" Li Mu looked at Liu Zhiyuan with a confused look and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know."
Qiu Yin burst into laughter.
"Don't worry. It's made from wild fruits in the mountains. It just takes a little time." Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
She was actually quite fond of her husband's sworn brother. The young man had a kind of pure and unpretentious aura. When Li Mu took office, she met him once. But she did not expect that the seemingly embarrassed young man had become a big shot in the Western Qin. Moreover, Li Mu was not one of those so-called young heroes who couldn't wait to step on others to rise up and make a name for themselves in Jianghu. These days in the village, she had heard a lot about the county magistrate. He was a good official, a rare good official. Besides, if Li Mu hadn't shown up in time, Yaya would have been abducted by the pasture warriors.
Qiu Yin took out the wine gourd and said, "It doesn't matter. I still have some bamboo wine from Guanshan City. If … Brother Guo doesn't mind, you can have some." “
Guo Yuqing was overjoyed. "The bamboo wine from Guanshan City? That's great! It's one of the top ten wines in the world! " With a hint of excitement on his face, he reached out to take the gourd. But in an instant, something occurred to him and he looked at his wife awkwardly.
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Today we have a distinguished guest. Drink to your heart's content."
"Thank you for your grace, my dear wife." Guo Yuqing took the wine gourd and couldn't wait to gulp down three mouthfuls of wine. Then, he said, "Haha, it's been a long time. Little brother, you didn't steal your master's wine, did you?"
Qiu Yin supported his forehead with his hand and said, "You guessed it right."
The room was instantly filled with gay laughter.
The slight feeling of uneasiness in Qiu Yin's heart quickly disappeared without a trace amidst this laughter.
Soon, Qiu Yin could pat Guo Yuqing on the shoulder and laugh loudly.
Liu Zhiyuan was preparing the dishes in the kitchen outside. Hearing such laughter, a gratified smile also appeared on her elegant face.
She knew Brother Qing enjoyed the atmosphere of drinking and drinking with friends.
Back then, on the prairie, that group of boorish but honest men drank hard liquor and roasted meat. Regardless of the wind or rain, they would call him big brother, and they would die to protect their friends. It had been a very, very long time since she had last heard her husband laugh like this.
She knew her husband's heart was like that of an eagle. Even if he lived in seclusion in the valley, he still yearned for the blue sky.
Over the years, the fetters kept the eagle from spreading its wings.
Although she didn't want to go back to Jianghu and she was tired of everything in the martial arts world, she wouldn't object to her husband's contact with people in the martial arts world. Friendship was friendship, and martial arts world was martial arts world. This was different.
After a while, the voice of the drinking master came from the hut.
Three men and a pot of wine.
Was there anything happier than this in the world?
When they were drinking heartily, Li Mu felt a little dizzy. Then, he remembered the story of Duan Yu, Xuzhu, and Qiao Feng becoming sworn brothers in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils written by Master Jin Yong. He jumped to his feet and pulled Qiu Yin to say he wanted to become sworn brothers with Guo Yuqing again. Guo Yuqing and Qiu Yin were overjoyed. They agreed without hesitation. Then, they directly put wine on the table and bowed to each other.
The three of them really hit it off at first sight and hit it off very well.
"Haha, this time, you can't call me little earthworm. Call me Second Brother." Qiu Yin stood up and laughed triumphantly.
Li Mu patted his forehead and said, "I made a mistake … Second Brother."
The three of them burst into laughter.
Guo Yuqing was the oldest, Qiu Yin was the second, and Li Mu was the youngest.
Liu Zhiyuan came in with dishes to go with the wine. Li Mu took out several jade ornaments refined by himself. They looked exquisite and contained tactical deployments that could protect one's body. As a greeting gift, he gave them to his sister-in-law and nephew's daughter. Qiu Yin also took out three treasures from his collection …
Liu Zhiyuan, a graduate of the Wendao Academy, was also a daughter of Jianghu. So, she accepted them without hesitation.
Now that they were in high spirits, the topic naturally shifted back to cultivation.
Li Mu performed the Wind-Cloud Six Moves and asked his two sworn brothers to give him some advice.
All of a sudden, a tremor came from the direction of Taibai County. Then, a wave of extremely powerful and horrible aura radiated in all directions like an earthquake …
Li Mu sheathed his broadsword and stood still. His face changed dramatically. "Someone is attacking the county government?"
He leaped into the air, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared in an instant.
"I'll go and have a look."
Only then did the voice ring out.
Guo Yuqing and Qiu Yin looked at each other. They were shocked by the speed Li Mu showed at that moment, which was beyond the limit of what the naked eye could capture.
"Brother, let's go and have a look."
"Yes, it's Jiang Qiubai's aura."
The two were concerned about Li Mu, so they directly took the two kids and Liu Zhiyuan to the direction of Taibai County, in case Jiang Qiubai lured them away from the mountain and set them up.
…
By the time Li Mu arrived, it was already too late.
The yard of the Knife Hut had been breached.
The enemy had already left.
"Jiang Qiubai …"
Li Mu gnashed his teeth.
He sensed that man's aura lingering in the air.
But it was too late to catch up.
A supreme master standing at the top of the Sage Realm wanted to leave, and no one could catch up with him. Li Mu was already in the range of the Taibai Mountain. He could not sense that man's aura. Obviously, he had left.
The tactical deployment in the Knife Hut had recovered by itself, and the building was not damaged.
But one person had been taken away by Jiang Qiubai.
"Well, in fact, the effect will be the same even if I take another person. After all, my senior fellow apprentice is very righteous … Boy, if you want to save your sweetheart, ask Senior Fellow Apprentice Guo to come to the Wolf Temple on the pasture with the key to the Immortal King's tomb."
That was Jiang Qiubai's message.
It was a mischievous handwriting made of leaves on the ground, which showed how skillful he was when he broke the tactical deployment of the Knife Hut, as well as a hint of provocation.
The person he took away was Shangguan Yuting.
Everyone in the world knew that Hua Xiangrong was Li Mu's confidante.
