The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

In the guest room, the candlelight was crackling and the jumping flames illuminated the entire room and also reflected the faces of Ren Yingying and Yi Huawei.

Ren Yingying gently gathered her hair, leaned slightly to make herself sit more comfortably, and continued, "After taking this 'Three Corpses Brain Pill', you must take the antidote once a year, otherwise the toxicity will take effect and you will die miserably. Dongfang Bubai is very strict with those heroes in the martial arts world. If they do not meet his expectations, he will withhold the antidote. Every time, I have to plead for them and get the antidote for them."

Yi Huawei was sitting next to her with a gentle smile on his face. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then you are their savior."

Ren Yingying shook her head gently, her hair swaying as she moved. "They are not benefactors. They came to kowtow to me and beg me, but I couldn't be hard-hearted and ignore them. It's just that this is Dongfang Bubai's strategy to deceive people. He wants everyone to know that he loves and respects me very much. In this way, naturally no one will doubt that his position as the leader was usurped."

Yi Huawei nodded and touched his chin with his hand: "This person is really scheming. You have suffered a lot over the years!"

As he spoke, he patted Ren Yingying's shoulder gently.

"nothing……"

Seeing Yi Huawei's concerned eyes, Ren Yingying blushed and continued, "But it's too annoying to always ask me to plead with Dongfang Bubai. Besides, the situation in the sect is very different from before. Everyone is full of flattery when they see Dongfang Bubai, which is extremely disgusting. So I asked Green Bamboo to accompany me and go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. I can avoid the trouble of the discipline and don't have to say those shameless words to Dongfang Bubai. I didn't expect to bump into you."

Having said that, Ren Yingying turned her head slightly and looked at Yi Huawei with gentle eyes. Thinking of the scene of their first meeting in Green Bamboo Lane, her eyes softened and her heart was filled with tenderness.

Yi Huawei saw that she showed the shy look of a little girl. The firelight shone on her face, making her beautiful face red. At that moment, the beauty made Yi Huawei a little dazed.

Yi Huawei's heart skipped a beat, as if an invisible hand had gently plucked his heartstrings. He reached out his hand and held Ren Yingying's left hand, rubbing it gently, and then sighed.

Ren Yingying felt his movements and her body stiffened slightly, then relaxed and said softly, "Why are you sighing? Do you regret meeting me?"

He raised his head and looked straight into Yi Huawei's eyes, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes.

"No, no! I just thought that it's my luck to meet you. So, Dongfang Bubai is our matchmaker, should I let him go?
Yi Huawei hurriedly shook his head: "Besides, how could I regret it? Knowing you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

After saying that, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly teasing smile.

Ren Yingying's eyes sparkled with joy, her face flushed, she blinked, and asked in a soft voice with a hint of shyness:

"Are you telling the truth, or are you just kidding me?"

Upon seeing this, Yi Huawei immediately raised three fingers, his expression serious: "If I try to fool you, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Ren Yingying looked at him and couldn't help laughing. Then she slowly turned her left hand and held Yi Huawei's hand. She felt that this moment was the most precious in her life. Her whole body was warm and her heart seemed to be floating in the clouds. She hoped that it would last forever.

After a long while, Ren Yingying slowly said, "We in the martial arts world are destined to die a miserable death. If you betray me in the future, I don't want you to be struck by lightning. I... I... I would rather stab you to death with my own sword."

As Ren Yingying spoke, she lowered her head slightly. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow in the firelight, making it impossible to see her eyes clearly.

Yi Huawei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My heart is yours. You can take it anytime you want."

As he spoke, he gently squeezed Ren Yingying's hand, as if making a promise to her.

Ren Yingying smiled slightly, the blush on her face still not fading: "People say you are a gentleman, why do you speak so slickly and without any seriousness. I don't know what fate it is, I just... I just like you, a frivolous playboy."

As he spoke, he gently poked Yi Huawei's shoulder with his finger.

Yi Huawei laughed and said, "When have I ever been frivolous with you? If you say that to me, I will definitely be frivolous with you."

As he spoke, he sat up with a mischievous smile on his face.

Ren Yingying tapped her feet, and her body bounced several feet, landing steadily on the side. Her face changed, and she said solemnly:

"I love you in my heart, but we have to behave properly. If you think I'm a woman with a soft touch and you can bully me at will, then you've made a mistake."

Seeing her like this, Yi Huawei immediately said seriously: "How dare I think you are a woman of water nature? I just..."

Suddenly he stopped and looked at Ren Ren Yingying deeply, with an impulse surging in his heart.

Ren Yingying looked at him as if he was about to speak but hesitated. Her heart moved and she asked with a trembling voice:
"You...what are you?"

Yi Huawei took a deep breath, walked forward a few steps, and came to Ren Yingying. He raised his hand and gently held Ren Yingying's face. Ren Yingying's body trembled and wanted to dodge, but she seemed to be frozen.

Yi Huawei looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Ren Yingying, I...I like you."

Ren Yingying's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her face instantly turned red, and her eyes were full of panic. She wanted to speak, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't make a sound.

Yi Huawei looked at her and felt pity in his heart. He slowly lowered his head and moved closer to Ren Yingying's lips.

Ren Yingying felt his breath getting closer and closer, and she felt nervous and expectant. Just when Yi Huawei's lips were about to touch her, she suddenly closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes kept trembling.

Yi Huawei gently kissed her lips. Ren Yingying's body suddenly stiffened and her hands subconsciously grabbed Yi Huawei's sleeves.

Ren Yingying felt her mind go blank, but her heart was beating like a deer. Her breathing became rapid, and the blush on her face spread all the way to her ears.

Yi Huawei felt her nervousness, gently let her go, looked into her eyes, and said softly: "Yingying, I will treat you well."

Ren Yingying slowly opened her eyes, her eyes still a little blurry, and looked at Yi Huawei. Her lips moved slightly, but she didn't know what to say. After a long while, she whispered:

"I...I believe you."

After saying that, she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look into Yi Huawei's eyes again.

Yi Huawei smiled gently, stretched out his hand and held Ren Yingying in his arms. Ren Yingying leaned in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, and her heart gradually calmed down.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats and soft breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, Ren Yingying raised her head and looked at Yi Huawei with a shy smile on her face.

"It's getting late. The police will be here soon, and there will be a lot of trouble."

Yi Huawei looked out the window. Before he knew it, the sky had already dawned, with a hint of paleness appearing on the horizon. He let go of Ren Yingying and stood up, saying, "We should not delay any longer. While Dongfang Bubai is seriously injured, we should go to Blackwood Cliff and solve this matter once and for all."

Ren Yingying nodded, calmed herself, quickly packed up her things, and walked out of the guest room with Yi Huawei.

The two of them left the inn. The air outside still smelled of blood, but the morning breeze was also a little fresh. Yi Huawei untied the reins and climbed onto the horse. Ren Yingying then jumped onto the horse's back and sat behind Yi Huawei.

Yi Huawei shook the reins, the horse neighed, and galloped towards the direction of Heimu Cliff.

………………

The sun was high in the sky, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the scorching sunlight poured down onto the earth unhindered, making everything in the world shine brightly.

Yi Huawei and Ren Yingying rode their horses along the winding official road. On both sides of the official road were endless farmlands, with green crops swaying gently in the breeze.

The two of them walked to a place and passed by an inn. Looking up, the inn looked simple, with mud walls and thatched roofs. There was a cloth banner hanging at the door, swaying in the breeze. Seeing that the sun was approaching noon and they were feeling hungry, Yi Huawei and the others decided to stay overnight at the inn.

The two men dismounted, handed the reins to the waiter who came over, and then walked into the inn. There were a few rough wooden tables and chairs in the inn, and the floor was swept fairly clean.

The two found an empty seat and sat down, ordering a few home-cooked dishes and a pot of tea. While eating, Ren Yingying caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye and called out in surprise, "Daddy!"

I saw Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian walking into the inn.

Both of them were wearing coarse linen clothes. The fabric was rough and had many patches on it. They wore tattered felt hats on their heads with the brims pulled down very low, covering most of their faces. If you hadn't heard the voices, you wouldn't have recognized them if you really saw them.

Seeing this, Yi Huawei hurriedly stood up and walked forward. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he turned around and waved to the waiter, raising his voice and saying, "Waiter, re-arrange the cups and chopsticks, add a few more good dishes, and bring a pot of good wine!"

"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment!"

The waiter responded and went about his business quickly.

Ren Woxing was full of energy, his back was straight, and he was full of vigor and high spirits. As soon as he sat down, he started to speak: "These days, my brother Xiang and I have been running around and contacting old people in the sect. We thought it would be difficult, but it was unexpectedly easy. Eight out of ten people were very happy. They all said that Dongfang Bubai had been acting absurdly and perversely in recent years, and had already reached the point where everyone deserted him. Especially that Yang Lianting, who was originally a nobody in the Divine Sect, but because he flattered Dongfang Bubai, he held great power and bullied the sect, and either reprimanded and dismissed many meritorious officials or secretly killed them. If it weren't for the strict rules of the sect, some people would have risen up in rebellion long ago. Hey, that Yang helped us do this great thing, shouldn't we thank him a lot?"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Yingying nodded and said, "That's right. Dongfang Bubai has done evil things and treated my father like this. He should have been killed long ago!"

As he said this, he felt a little strange, and then asked, "Dad, how did you know we were here?"

Ren Woxing raised his lips and smiled, saying, "I didn't know that someone saw you last night, so I guess you must have passed by here today."

"Beep beep beep——"

Just as he said this, he suddenly heard a whistle sound coming from outside. The sound was sharp and piercing, cutting through the sky and was creepy to hear.

Yingying's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that Dongfang Bubai knows we are here?"

Then he turned to Yi Huawei and explained, "This whistle is the signal for the sect to catch assassins and traitors. When the members of our sect hear this signal, they must be on guard and fight bravely to catch the person."

After a while, four horses were heard galloping down the long street, the sound of horses' hooves was hurried and chaotic. The riders shouted at the top of their voices: "The leader has ordered: Elder Tong Baixiong of the Wind and Thunder Hall has colluded with the enemy and plotted to betray our sect. He must be arrested and brought back to the altar immediately. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

The sound spread far away.

When Yingying heard this, she cried out in amazement: "Uncle Tong! How could that be?"

The sound of horse hooves faded away, and the order was passed down. Judging from the momentum, the Sun and Moon Sect acted very arrogantly in this area and did not take the local officials seriously at all.

Ren Woxing frowned and said:

"Dongfang Bubai is well-informed. Brother Xiang and I met with Master Tong just the day before yesterday."

"Ah?! Daddy has looked for him?"

Yingying sighed and asked in surprise, "Uncle Tong also agreed to help us?"

Ren Woxing shook his head and recalled the situation at that time: "How could he betray Dongfang Bubai? Brother Xiang and I analyzed the pros and cons with him, and we talked earnestly for a long time. Finally, Elder Tong said: 'Brother Dongfang and I are friends of life and death. You two know that by saying these words to me today, it is clear that you look down on Tong Baixiong and regard me as a betrayer. The leader of the Dongfang sect has been deceived by villains recently and has indeed done a lot of wrong things. But even if he is ruined, I, Tong, will never do anything to let him down. I, Tong, am no match for you two. If you want to kill me, please do it.' This Elder Tong is indeed an old man with backbone."

Yi Huawei nodded and praised: "He is a good man!"

Ren Yingying said: "Since he doesn't agree to help us, why would Dongfang Bubai want to capture him?"

Xiang Wentian laughed and said, "This is called going against the grain. Dongfang Bubai is not that old, but he has acted upside down. Where else in the world can you find a good friend as loyal to him as Tong Lao?"

"Correct!"

Ren Woxing clapped his hands and laughed, "Even a figure like Master Tong has turned against Dongfang Bubai. We will succeed! Come, cheers!" As he said that, he reached out for the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The four of them raised their glasses and drank them all.

Yingying turned to Yi Huawei and explained in detail: "This Uncle Tong is a senior member of our sect. He has made great contributions in the past. Everyone in the sect respects him very much. He has always been at odds with my father, but he has a very good relationship with Dongfang Bubai. Logically speaking, no matter how big a mistake he made, Dongfang Bubai would never make things difficult for him."

Ren Woxing was very excited, with a confident smile on his face, and said: "Dongfang Bubai is trying to capture Tong Baixiong, so there is a lot of noise on the Black Wood Cliff. It would be best if we go up the cliff at this time."

Xiang Wentian asked, "Shall we ask Brother Shangguan to come and discuss this?"

Ren Woxing nodded and said, "Very good."

Xiang Wentian turned and left the room, and soon he came in with Shangguan Yun.
