Chapter 533

Shen Bijun dared not think about it, nor dared to admit it, but her feelings for Shen Qingzhou were different from those for others. Xiao Shiyilang had done the hero save the beauty, but not as much as Shen Qingzhou had.

Shen Qingzhou himself didn't expect this. His family ties had gotten him stuck, but he didn't realize that Shen Bijun's ideas were even more bizarre than he had imagined. He secretly complained that Shen Bijun was a green tea bitch and loved to seek thrills.

Shen Qingzhou's status as a relative was actually a plus for her. Of course, the main reason was that she had no idea that Shen Qingzhou was a relative before. He was just a normal man. The kinship relationship had not penetrated her heart. The most important point was that he had saved her several times.

The trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress never goes out of style. Coupled with Shen Bijun's unconventional and unconventional views, it's natural for her to have a change in mindset. Most people wouldn't think of it, and even she herself wouldn't dare to imagine it.

Look at Lian Chengbi, he always suspected her and Xiao Shiyilang. Shen Qingzhou saved her many times, but did Lian Chengbi ever suspect her? No.

She felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Sai Diaochan this time. This person looked just like the mistress of the house, and judging from the attitude of the bodyguards towards her, they probably treated her like the mistress of the house as well.

At this moment, Lian Chengjin revealed a fact that no one dared to say in front of Shen Qingzhou: he practiced the "Boyhood Skill," and only then did he get over this hurdle in his heart.

This was said by Jinbi Tong, but nowadays, people in the martial arts world almost universally accept this news, which is considered a rationalization of Shen Qingzhou's martial arts skills.

While He Xiaohui was keeping him company, Shen Qingzhou had already arrived at a small courtyard and listened to Mo Da's erhu piece, which sounded quite melancholic.

"Swords and zither music, the night rain of Xiaoxiang, Master Mo's mastery of sonic power is truly astonishing. Please have some tea." Shen Qingzhou reached out, and the teapot on the stone table in the courtyard jumped into his hand, a stream of water already in the teacup. It looked simple, but this move demonstrated powerful internal strength.

Mo Da was not surprised by Shen Qingzhou's move. A master who could fight two people at once and easily injure Ding Mian and Lu Bai was a master that even Hengshan dared not underestimate.

Most importantly, other sects had never witnessed Xiaoyao Hou's martial arts and could only speculate, but the Hengshan Sect truly knew Shen Qingzhou's strength, even if they had only heard about it.

All of this is because of Fang Duobing. That's right, Fang Duobing's battle with Master Liaoliao made the Hengshan Sect realize how terrifying this young man was. According to Master Liaoliao, the young man is only short of accumulating power and will inevitably enter that realm.

Master Liao Liao is a trump card in Hengshan, one of the reasons why the Hengshan Sect dares to take action against Songshan. This timeline is different from the original simple world of Laughing at the World. Zuo Lengchan is highly skilled in martial arts, but he cannot do whatever he wants.

Liao Liao Shangren and Fang Duobing were merely exchanging sparring tips and did not determine a winner. One had outstanding swordsmanship, while the other possessed profound internal strength. The reason why Tianji Hall was able to establish itself in Hengyang was precisely because of this exchange between Liao Liao Shangren and Fang Duobing.

Otherwise, for a foreign sect to establish itself at the foot of Mount Heng, wouldn't that be a bit disrespectful to the Mount Heng sect? Even if Tianji Hall only intends to do business, it can't be avoided that Tianji Hall is still a sect.

He Xiaohui is also a top-notch fighter, but compared to Fang Duobing, there is still a considerable gap. This also prevented Tianjitang from having a greater conflict with Hengshan after it developed.

This is a conflict between sects. The Hengshan Sect has no interest in the world's escort agencies. No matter how big an escort agency becomes, it won't affect the Hengshan Sect.

However, because of Fang Duobing's battle with Liao Liao Shangren, the Hengshan Sect indirectly learned about Shen Qingzhou's achievements in Xi Kingdom.

Fang Duobing felt utterly inferior to Shen Qingzhou, saying that in the entire Xi Kingdom, only his master Li Xiangyi could fight him, making the Hengshan Sect truly understand what it meant to be outmatched.

This time, Shen Qingzhou also helped with the Liu family's affairs. To some extent, they were on the same side, both being martial arts figures from Hengyang.

"My skills are meager, and I dare not presume to presume before Mr. Shen. The reason I invited Mr. Shen here is twofold: first, to express Liu Zhengfeng's gratitude for your help, and second, to thank you for taking care of Mo Xiaobei before," said Mr. Mo.

Since he was teaching Mo Xiaobei martial arts through the Tianxia Escort Agency, it was only right that he thanked Shen Qingzhou.

"Xiao Bei is very talented, isn't he?" Shen Qingzhou asked.

“Far surpasses us,” said Master Mo. Only those who had taught Mo Xiaobei knew how terrifying this person’s talent was.

“Now that you’ve taught her martial arts, her sister-in-law will definitely come after me when she gets back,” Shen Qingzhou said.

"As for Miss Tong, my Hengshan Sect will handle things accordingly," said Master Mo. The way he addressed her was quite interesting; calling her "Miss" showed that he didn't consider her Mo Xiaobao's wife. Well, that made sense, as the Longmen Escort Agency was no ordinary force.

"Besides these, is there anything else important?" Shen Qingzhou asked. There was no point in expressing gratitude verbally. He helped Liu Zhengfeng and the others not for anyone else, but for himself.

"This is my Hengshan token, known to everyone in Hengshan. Please accept it, Mr. Shen," Mo Da said.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Shen Qingzhou didn't refuse. This token was quite valuable. Within Hengyang, the strongest sect, Hengshan Sect, had already been officially recognized as the legitimate and powerful of the Tianxia Escort Agency, although Shen Qingzhou had obtained it through his own martial arts and methods.

"Haha, this matter is settled. I'll take my leave now, junior brother, junior brother." Mo Da was overjoyed to see Shen Qingzhou accept the token, which meant he had formed a bond with a top-tier expert.

For the Hengshan Sect, Tianxia Escort Agency wasn't considered strong, but Shen Qingzhou and his men directly boosted the agency's martial prowess.

As I left, I felt a bit emotional. The Hengshan Sect had lost a great general with the loss of Liu Zhengfeng. The only consolation was that he had taken full responsibility, which was a good thing. The Hengshan Sect wasn't specifically implicated.

……

"Delicious, delicious." Mo Xiaobei praised as she ate the lychee. Shen Qingzhou glanced at her; she was still the same, yet different.

Mo Da must have taught her something else. It seems that the major sects do have something. Shen Qingzhou was even able to sense the internal energy in Mo Xiaobei's body.

This might be because she hasn't been able to control herself yet after her skills have improved. Shen Qingzhou was also quite curious whether she had taken some kind of elixir or if it was a sect technique, but he couldn't ask about these things.

"Please forgive me, everyone, Xiao Bei is still young." Guo Furong said with a proper fist and palm salute. It was time for the banquet to begin, and Shen Bijun was definitely going to be entertained, but Lao Bai and the others were all here, so they had to be together. It wouldn't be good to ignore anyone.

"Master Mo's personality is truly enviable," Shen Bijun said. She knew these people, and although she had never heard of the so-called Heroine Furong before, she could tell from the official's fawning attitude towards her that she was someone with influence.

Furthermore, she had heard from Xiao Shiyilang that the man surnamed Bai, who remained unfazed in the face of so many experts, was also a skilled fighter. It seemed quite normal for Mo Xiaobei to have powerful figures by her side. Actually, Bai Zhantang was initially reluctant to stay with Shen Bijun and the others; they were essentially staying temporarily, mainly because he had a good relationship with Shen Qingzhou. However, since he had been invited, he didn't stand on ceremony.

Bai Zhantang was easily startled in the inn, but outside, he was capable of handling things, and even Guo Furong subconsciously followed his lead.

"Sister Bijun, you're not only beautiful, but you're also so eloquent. I admire you." Mo Xiaobei's mature demeanor made everyone chuckle.

"It is indeed a fine wine." This was the first time Xiao Shiyilang had tasted Crimson Plum Wine, and Shen Qingzhou currently had this much wine on him.

Shen Qingzhou and Xiao Shiyilang hadn't had much interaction before, and had even fought each other, so they had never drunk together, and naturally, they had never drunk this before.

Shen Bijun gave the same assessment. She had tasted it before, since it was part of the dowry Shen Qingzhou gave her. Out of curiosity, she also tried a little. This wine was quite famous in the Jiangnan region.

He became famous because of Hua Ruling. Everyone knows that Hua Rujin now has a peerless wine called Crimson Plum Pearl. Ordinary people can't taste it at all. Only his close friends can taste it. The wine's reputation spread. It was originally a top-quality wine.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became lively, and everyone started talking about various trivial matters, mainly from the Jiangnan region. As for Liu Zhengfeng's affairs, everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning them.

Sai Diaochan and Bai Zhantang had both lived in Jiangnan, so they naturally had a lot in common. Guo Furong was from the capital, and Mo Xiaobei was happy as long as there was good food. The atmosphere was great.

……

"Cousin Bijun, this is Qixia Town, the place where I grew up." The day after entertaining Shen Bijun, the group headed to Qixia Town early in the morning.

There was nothing else going on in Hengyang. Everyone had already made contact with those they needed to during this time. The Hengshan Sect was currently making moves all over the city, ostensibly to uphold justice, but also to prove that the Hengshan Sect still held absolute dominance in Hengyang.

Those martial arts figures didn't want to offend the Hengshan Sect, so they all left. Shen Qingzhou, on the other hand, had to hurry to Huashan, so he naturally had to send everyone back to Qixia Town.

Mo Xiaobei and the others naturally had to return to Qixia Town. This time, they had retired from their criminal activities and spent nearly ten days in Hengyang, having had a good time.

Knowing that Shen Qingzhou and the others had returned to Qixia Town, Shen Bijun also went with them. She said she wanted to visit Aunt Shen Xia's old residence, even though Shen Qingzhou was the only one there. So she decided to go with them.

This is actually a bit impolite, but since we're all martial arts practitioners, it's not a big problem.

The group arrived at Tongfu Inn. At present, this is still the only inn in Qixia Town. Since Shen Bijun and the others came, they would definitely stay here. Shen Qingzhou suggested that they stay at the escort agency, which has guest rooms, but the rooms had already been booked in advance.

As for the ancestral home, it was definitely too small to accommodate everyone; it was just a small courtyard, while Shen Bijun and her group numbered over a dozen.

"Xiao Bei, you're finally back!" Tong Xiangyu was watching from the doorway. When she saw them return, she happily pulled Mo Xiao Bei along to see if she was alright.

“Sister-in-law,” Mo Xiaobei said. Although she was mischievous and didn’t like studying, she knew deep down that this sister-in-law was the best to her.

"Manager, there are still customers," Bai Zhantang reminded them.

“What guest? None of them are as important as Xiao Bei,” Tong Xiangyu said instinctively.

"Shopkeeper, didn't I book a room here?" Lian Chengjin appeared. She had arrived a little earlier with her entourage and arranged accommodations for the group in advance.

“Miss Lian, these are your people. They are all truly handsome and talented. Xiao Bei, go and help carry the luggage.” In front of everyone, Tong Xiangyu’s expression changed completely, transforming from a sister-in-law who was worried about her family into a money-grubber.

"Big Mouth, boil some water. Old Bai, don't just sit there. Xiao Guo, go tidy up the guest rooms. Gentlemen, please come in." Tong Xiangyu's actions surprised Shen Bijun and the others, but Shen Qingzhou and the others were used to it.

Tong Xiangyu is a money-grubber, that's undeniable. After spending so much time together, I know that perfectly well.

"Is this the famous beauty of the world, the pearl of the Shen family? Please come in." Shen Bijun put her veil back on. She knew how much attention her face would attract, and she wouldn't cause trouble for herself in a place where she didn't know many people.

Even so, her image as the center of attention and her aura of unparalleled beauty still made her stand out at a glance.

Shen Qingzhou turned and left as soon as he saw that the people had arrived. As for Sai Diaochan, she didn't even go to Yuchan Tower. Instead, she went directly to Shen Qingzhou's old residence to tidy up. Even if it wasn't dirty, it was still necessary to tidy up for Shen Bijun's visit, as is the way to treat guests.

"Sister-in-law, I feel like it's weird to call you sister-in-law." After Shen Bijun and the others entered the guest room, Lian Chengjin wanted to say something, but when he called out, he felt something was off. What was wrong?

"Sister-in-law, I want to eat Fangmian noodles. Manager Sai gave them to me, why won't you let me eat them?" Mo Xiaobei's voice rang out at that moment. The two looked at each other, and Lian Chengjin finally understood why she found it strange.

Mo Xiaobei started causing trouble as soon as she came back and began calling her "sister-in-law." In particular, Tong Xiangyu was terrified after hearing Guo Furong bragging to Li Dazui about how Fei Bin attacked Mo Xiaobei but was stopped by her overwhelming force.

In fact, Tong Xiangyu wasn't against Mo Xiaobei entering the martial arts world, but she wasn't fully prepared. Xiaobei was too young. If she hadn't known about Mo Xiaobei's unbreakable connection with the Hengshan Sect, she wouldn't have let Mo Xiaobei leave.

That old man, who was supposed to be sick, came to see her despite his advanced age, and she couldn't really refuse him, since he was an elder.

That's right. On the surface, she's come to her senses, but in reality, the Hengshan Sect also asked her for help. In the end, Mo Xiaobei is still a member of Hengshan, so she has no choice but to ask Hai Ge from Tianxia Escort Agency for help. Plus, Shen Qingzhou is there, and Lao Bai is also a master, so there shouldn't be any problems.

It can only be said that she considers some things more thoroughly than her parents. She is truly responsible and has raised Mo Xiaobei very well. Otherwise, Mo Da would have taken Mo Xiaobei back to Hengshan Sect directly.

She already knew some things in advance from Lian Chengjin, such as the many big events that happened during the retirement ceremony, and she was worried about everyone. Even though she knew that nothing was wrong, she was only relieved to be back now that she was really back.
