Of course, Huang Fang Fo did not believe in this absurd theory. He only believed that the two people who were as different as clouds and mud were just strangers who met by chance. The young King would not take it seriously, but the young man on the Snow Plateau would take it too seriously. As for why he could successfully settle down in Mount Hui, Huang Fangfo also found it strange. After all, after Xuanyuan Qingfeng became the boss, Huang Fangfo had to deal with too many things. It was impossible for him to care about the background of a nobody. Now Mount Hui was divided into different classes. Although they were all guests, the difference in treatment between the first and the last guests was huge. The young man was the lowest guest in Mount Hui. He only had a small courtyard halfway up the mountain and lived with two other guests. His monthly income was no more than twenty to thirty taels of silver. In the town at the foot of Mount Hui, it wasn't even enough for him to have a decent drink.
The young Foreign Official looked around cautiously, feeling uneasy. Today he had planned to come to the Great Snow Plateau to enjoy the scenery, and try to find an opportunity to get close to the Jianghu seniors who also had the same interest. He did not expect that after climbing up the mountain, he did not even see a shadow of a person. He wanted to go back home, but after walking in the snow for more than an hour, he did not want to give up, so he stumbled into the Bull Mound. In fact, the important Foreign Official near the top of the mountain had already received the news. This young man was far from being qualified to be notified by the servants on the Great Snow Plateau. Therefore, by a stroke of luck, he saw the immortal-like purple robe by the cliff.
This was the first time he saw her after living under someone else's roof in Mount Hui. The first time he saw her was at the Snow Mountain Villa. The "Jianghu friend" named Xu Qi told him that he might as well go to Mount Hui to have a look. He also said that there was a woman who liked to wear purple dress who could be considered as a friend. At that time, he didn't take it seriously. However, it was hard to survive in Jianghu, especially for a rootless duckweed like him. No matter where he went, he would only be looked down upon. He had no choice but to wait for the right time and risk his life to "meet" this Purple Dress of Huishan Mountain. However, he didn't expect that after the woman narrowed her eyes and sized him up and confirmed that he didn't have the guts to lie, she actually nodded and agreed. He only remembered that under the gaze of those cold eyes, he was sweating profusely. He was still in a daze even after she left for a long time. Later on, he came to Mount Hui. Although he didn't reach the heavens in a single bound, at least he had a place to stay. He didn't have to wander around the Jianghu like a lonely ghost. He didn't have any extravagant hopes for more. He didn't have to worry about food and drink all year round and was perfectly content.
After seeing her, he mustered up his courage and walked forward with difficulty. He didn't know if it was because the snow was difficult to walk on, or because he was in awe of her, but he walked with difficulty in his straw raincoat.
When he finally walked a dozen steps behind her, a cold voice softly sounded, "I only remember that your surname is Huang. I forgot your name. Huang something?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but to his ears, it was no different from a clap of thunder exploding above his head. It turned out that this high and mighty woman, who was like a celestial being in heaven, still remembered his surname?
Flattered, he quickly trotted a few steps forward and stopped a few steps behind and beside her. He lowered his head and bent over, smiling, "Reporting to Mountain Master, this little one's surname is Huang, and my name is Quan … My surname is Quan, and my name is Cao. It's Quan, which means spring water."
Huang Quan, who once pretended to be an experienced Jianghu person in front of Xu Qi, had gray hair at an early age. Indeed, he didn't look like a very likable young man. He quietly waited for her to continue, but there was no movement for a long time. This made him involuntarily panic. Could it be that his appearance disturbed her mood of admiring the snow?
She gently shook the wrist holding the umbrella, and the snow on the surface of the oil-paper umbrella suddenly flew into a mess.
She didn't turn her head and only asked indifferently, "Have you heard of a person called Wen Hua?"
Huang Quan said in fear and trepidation, "Of course, of course. In the capital, he earned the nickname of Wen Busheng. He fought with the number one swordsman in the capital, Qi Jiajie. At that time, even the Tangxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie, who was the Minister of War, had a favorable impression of Wen Hua. Unfortunately, he suddenly and inexplicably disappeared. Now, the storytellers at the foot of the mountain all say that this peerless swordsman is Xu Qi … Oh, no, the new Prince Liang's good brother. Because of this, that prince even used Wen Hua's sword moves in the Western Regions. In one move, he beat Tuoba Bodhisattva, who was also one of the four great grandmasters of martial arts, out of the city. "
She asked again, "Then, are you envious?"
Huang Quan smiled embarrassedly, "Naturally, I'm very envious. I used to diligently practice the sword, but unfortunately, I wasn't cut out for it. I quickly abandoned it and only know a few skills."
At this point, Huang Quan paused for a moment and carefully said, "It's because of the Mountain Lord's Bodhisattva's kindness that this little one is able to eat and drink at Mount Hui. This little one doesn't dare to forget the Mountain Lord's kindness in taking me in these two years."
She didn't comment, but the corners of her mouth quietly curled up. She muttered to herself, "Although that guy surnamed Wen is very annoying, Wen Hua is indeed only one Wen Hua. It's like this to that person, and it's about the same to me. In this lifetime, if I want to meet this kind of … disgraceful bastard again, it should be very difficult. "
The wind and snow on the mountain peak were too strong. Even if Huang Quan pricked up her ears, she couldn't clearly hear her soft muttering.
She seemed to have lost interest in talking and said straightforwardly, "Presumably, you also know that that person sent many secret manuals from the Tide-listening Pavilion to my Moonless Restaurant. Now, I'll give you a choice. You can either choose a secret manual at will and then go down the mountain to explore, or you can stay in my Mount Hui and be a low-class guest. Although you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, you won't have any future prospects. You don't need to speak. If you nod, you'll choose the first option. If you shake your head, you'll choose the second option. "
The extremely talkative Huang Quan subconsciously wanted to nag a little, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't utter a single word. Then, she suddenly woke up with a start. Her forehead was covered in sweat as she hurriedly shook her head.
Huang Quan silently said in her heart, "How could I not know my own weight? I can't endure hardships, and I don't have the innate talent to become an expert through practicing martial arts. I've long since known to obediently accept my fate."
She calmly said, "I understand. You can leave now."
Huang Quan, who felt as if she had been granted amnesty, didn't dare to stay any longer. She turned around and left.
However, after Huang Quan had taken a few steps, she softly said, "I don't know if the person Mountain Chieftain spoke of treats me as a friend. No matter how much I boast to outsiders, in reality, I don't dare to think that person is my friend. However, no matter what, I, Huang Quan, am very happy to be able to meet that person. "
After saying this, Huang Quan's footsteps didn't stop as she left the large snowy plain. She didn't dare to secretly turn her head to look at her.
When he left the mountain, he somewhat felt that he was too useless. However, after thinking about it again and again, he still felt that being able to meet "Xu Qi" in this life, meeting that young Jianghu man who was willing to let him eat and drink, and who would laugh and listen to his boasting, was something worth being happy about for the rest of his life.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng stood alone in the same place. The wind and snow fell one after another, making the world seem even more lonely.
She slowly walked back to the Moonless Tower, which was said to be even taller than the Tide-listening Pavilion in Beiliang. She climbed up to the top floor. This floor was extremely transparent. Aside from those gold-threaded phoebe zhennan pillars, the entire building was practically empty. There was only a red sandalwood couch placed there. She put away her oil-paper umbrella and bent over to lean against one of the pillars. Lying on the couch, she propped up her cheek with one hand and looked as far as her eyes could see to the west. The most special thing about this tower was that there were no walls or railings in the entire west side. With a single glance, one could see the large snowy plain and even the distant scenery outside of Mount Hui. Due to the heavy snow, there were very few young maidservants who could enter this floor of Moonless Tower to clean the rooms. They had already cleverly erected a silk screen on the west side to block the wind and snow and cut off the bitter cold.
She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
In terms of fortuitous encounters and wonderful opportunities, this woman was simply the darling of heaven and earth. First, she accidentally obtained a strange cultivation method from the library on the large snowy plain that could absorb other people's Qi. Her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. When she narrowly reached the first level, she also turned herself into a half-human half-ghost and her life was hanging by a thread. Later, she went to Beiliang and absorbed the fate of several Imperial Jade Seals in the library of the Tide-listening Pavilion. Not only did she stabilize her cultivation, she also eliminated the huge hidden danger caused by the chaotic Qi. Then, in the battle of the river, she was defeated by Wang Xianzhi and sank to the bottom of the Guangling River. She actually survived the disaster and had good fortune afterward. Liu Songtao and Zhao Huangchao both helped her to advance her cultivation rapidly and reached the Major Celestial State in one fell swoop. She stopped Cao Changqing from entering Great Peace City outside the city. The Conqueror of West Chu even gave her a golden millet dream, allowing her to dream for decades. How could the benefits she received be ordinary?
No one dared to question her status as the chief of the Wulin Alliance as a woman. Some even believed that among the young Jianghu grandmasters, only she, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, had the chance to compete with the Northwest Vassal King.
As her cultivation rose rapidly and she became the leader of the Jianghu south of the Yangtze River, the power of Mount Hui grew day by day and suppressed Mount Longhu. She said that pilgrims were not allowed to climb the mountain to burn incense on the fourteenth of every month. Thus, no one dared to go to Mount Longhu to make a wish and pray on that day.
She once prevented the Fourth Prince, who was now the Emperor, from climbing the snowy plain. She also once had the new Prince Liang send people from thousands of miles away to deliver several large boxes of secret manuals from the Tide-listening Pavilion, as if she was "entrusting him to me". She had also participated in the battle of Great Peace City. She was like a bright moon hanging in the sky of Jianghu with Li Yang and the other two of the four great grandmasters of martial arts evaluation.
Some people feared her, some hated her, and some respected her. But strangely, no one in the world seemed to like her very purely, even if her beauty was enough to enter the rankings. Even if countless men in Jianghu knew that as long as they could conquer this woman, it was equivalent to conquering half of Jianghu.
