Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 19 A Friend

When he looked up, he saw the little nun, whom he had met once, standing at the door of the restaurant with an oil-paper umbrella, looking at him. The beautiful person standing in the snow with the umbrella was like a painting... As soon as their eyes met, the little nun Guan Yunshu took the initiative to walk forward, closed the oil-paper umbrella, gently shook off the snowflakes on it, and then sat down opposite Zhao Wumian without any hesitation.

"It's you, Zhao Wumian." Guan Yunshu's expression was very indifferent, but his tone was filled with a hint of surprise.

Zhao Wumian: “…”

"Miss, you've got the wrong person. I'm Su Yanran, from Qin." Zhao Wumian pulled up his hat to cover his face, and casually came up with a name inspired by 'Su Family's Son-in-law' and 'Luo Chaoyan'.

Guan Yunshu didn't care at all. He didn't care what Zhao Wumian said. "Your name is Zhao Wumian, I know... I've been to Qinfeng Village, and the bandits there said that Zhao Wumian was a good man. After defeating the grassland barbarians, he left with a female knight and a little beggar, and he just took their two horses... This Zhao Wumian is you, right?"

Yes, when Zhao Wumian introduced himself to Su Qingqi in Qinfeng Village, many people must have heard it.

Hearing this, Zhao Wumian calmly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword... Would this woman be able to guess his, Luo Chaoyan's, and Su Qingqi's identities from the few words spoken by those bandits?
Zhao Wumian is a firm believer in gender equality and supremacy. He will not be soft-hearted just because this nun is so beautiful.

But Zhao Wumian had no idea whether she knew it or not, so it would be better to sound out the truth first... Being in the base camp of King Jin, it is best to avoid conflict if possible and keep a low profile if possible.

"You really went to Qinfeng Village?"

"Didn't you want me to go? Otherwise, why did you lie to me and say you were Wang Changzhi?" Guan Yunshu nodded slightly, "It was just that the bandits were really annoying. They wanted to kidnap me and make me their wife. They also said some weird things like 'Since your name is Yunshu, then show us the shape of your stretched cloud'. I killed them all, leaving no one alive."

"Well done! Who said that Buddhism cannot kill people? The angry Vajra is also a Buddha... Yunshu? Is this the girl's Buddhist name?"

"I don't have a Dharma name. I have my own name, Guan Yunshu." Guan Yunshu answered briefly, and then used his bare hands to gently comb the long black hair behind his waist, looked at Zhao Wumian sideways, and asked: "Can you tell me now, why did you lie to me?"

Zhao Wumian was speechless. You came to me just for this?

He replied: "I wanted to wipe out Qinfeng Village to rid the people of harm, but I didn't have time, so I resorted to this desperate measure. Since the young lady is from a famous and upright family, I might as well do something chivalrous... As compensation, I owe the young lady a favor, how about it?"

Hearing this, Guan Yunshu couldn't help but look Zhao Wumian up and down, a little bit unbelievable, "Do you really want to get rid of harm for the people?"

"I have no personal grudge against Qinfeng Village."

"why?"

"what why?"

"Why do you want to go to this extent?"

Why would Zhao Wumian, a suspected evil cultivator from Taixuan Palace, want to be a hero?

"I learn martial arts to become the best in the world." Zhao Wumian raised the long sword in his hand, and then pointed the scabbard to the outside of the restaurant. "Where there is a mountain, I want to climb over it. Where there is a river, I want to cross it. There are people waiting for me at home, so I want to go back safely... There is no reason for all these, but I just want to follow my heart and let my thoughts flow."

Guan Yunshu was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows drooped, and he was silent for a while, then he raised his little face and said, "I will accept your advice."

After saying that, she bowed to Zhao Wumian and turned away. Her calf-length black hair swayed in the wind, making Zhao Wumian smell a fresh and comfortable fragrance.

He talks to himself, and is quite casual and relaxed.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned and asked.

"There is a coal boss in Hequ. A few days ago, he called me a 'shit leader who can't even speak clearly'... Now that I think about it, I'm really angry and I want to beat him up in order to make my thoughts clear." Guan Yunshu's words were still as concise as ever.

"A few days ago? Wait, you are the leader?" There were so many things to complain about that Zhao Wumian didn't know where to start. He paid for the wine, bought a pot of wine and hung it around his waist, then followed Guan Yunshu.

Guan Yunshu held up an umbrella, stopped to wait for him, tilted her head to look at him, raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's absolutely true."

"What invitation did you receive to come to Taiyuan?" Zhao Wumian wanted to find out why these leaders gathered in Taiyuan?
"Yes, Young Master Pei invited me here. In name, he wanted to exchange martial arts experiences with various top leaders, but in fact it must be related to Princess Luo." Guan Yunshu was different from other martial artists. He mentioned Luo Chaoyan without any hesitation.

It really is... Zhao Wumian frowned slightly, wanting to get some information, but first he had to confirm what the nun in front of him thought of the three of them, so he asked, "Miss Guan was also asked by someone to come and capture Princess Luo?"

Guan Yunshu shook her head calmly, “Xiao Xitian does not get involved in political affairs and practices seclusion from the world, but my master allowed me to enter the world and experience the mundane world, which is beneficial to my Taoism.” In other words, although Guan Yunshu is not necessarily a ally, she is not an enemy at present... So Zhao Wumian does not need to go to war with her at this moment.

"The three major sects are really impressive, just like the immortals."

"Cultivating immortality?" Guan Yunshu tilted his head and frowned slightly.

"Can you take me with you to the banquet hosted by Young Master Pei?" Zhao Wumian thought again and again and decided to start with this group of top scorers. It is impossible for King Jin not to know that such a group of young talents gathered in Taiyuan... If he could send Yan Jiu to capture Luo Chaoyan, he might be able to invite a few more top scorers.

Hearing this, Guan Yunshu frowned and shook his head, "I didn't plan to go to the banquet... I wanted to go to Hequ now and beat up that coal boss."

Zhao Wumian began to feel a little sympathy for Liu Ye.

"why?"

"The party is held in a brothel. I will not go to a place that is immoral and against the rules."

"Hmm..." Zhao Wumian found that this little nun always said something that made her unable to complain, "Then if you kill someone, it doesn't violate the rules?"

"Young Master said that the angry Vajra is also a Buddha, and he praised me for my good killing. Why are you using this to refute me now?"

"You've never been to a brothel, girl?"

“Never set foot there.”

"How can you say you have experienced the world if you have never set foot there?"

These words touched Guan Yunshu's heart. She frowned and thought seriously for a while. Then she looked up at Zhao Wumian and stretched out two jade-white fingers.

"What to do?" Zhao Wumian asked.

"Mr. Zhao owes me two favors."

Zhao Wumian laughed, thinking that this little nun was not as foolish as she looked, "Let alone two, three would be fine."

"Monks don't tell lies. Two favors are two favors. I will ask for it back from you in the future." Guan Yunshu said seriously, and then said, "Let's go, tonight."

The two of them walked together in the snow. Guan Yunshu glanced at the snow on Zhao Wumian's shoulders, then moved the oil-paper umbrella in her hand towards Zhao Wumian... Zhao Wumian was much taller than her, so she had to raise her forearm, which looked a bit strenuous, but also a bit more adorable.

"what are you doing?"

"My master always taught me that Buddhists should always have a compassionate heart."

"Just a little snow."

“Don’t let a small act of kindness go unrewarded.”

"Are all the bald monks in Xiaoxitian as eloquent as you?"

"It's not that I'm good at speaking, but I'm honest and don't lie."

"That makes sense. If my friends ever say I'm eloquent or glib, I'll answer them the same way."

"your friend?"

"Just a gentle, virtuous, and a little narrow-minded poor person."
