Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 26

The woman walked to the seat next to Li Fan and sat down. Li Fan looked at her and couldn't help but glance down.

He was young and could not bear such temptation, so his face turned red immediately.

"Are you alone, young master?" The woman leaned forward with her chin on her hand on the table. Li Fan could see more deeply.

He coughed and said, "Don't look at me if it's inappropriate."

"Not young anymore." Li Fan said shyly, "Almost seventeen."

"That's not a small one." The woman smiled lightly, her breath was as sweet as orchid, and she said, "My last name is Liu, young master, you can call me Liu Ji."

"Sister, do you know me?" Li Fan asked doubtfully. Could it be because he is good-looking?

"Don't we know each other now?" Liu Ji said with a smile.

"Well, this wine is a bit strong." Li Fan nodded.

My body felt hot and burning after drinking it.

"Can I have a few drinks with you, sir?" Liu Ji looked at him seductively.

"Please do as you please, sister." Li Fan has never been a stingy person.

Liu Ji poured herself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Her face immediately flushed and she supported her head with her fingers: "This wine is indeed quite strong. My head is dizzy."

Her eyes were a little dazed, and the drinkers in the restaurant were all anxious looking at her. If she was beautiful, she would be lucky in love. A woman like this, well... I'm afraid she would be in ecstasy.

At this time, another figure walked into the restaurant and sat down in the middle.

The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a white robe and with long hair draped over his shoulders. He had an elegant temperament and was casual and free-spirited.

"Mr. Yu is here." The waiter obviously recognized the newcomer, a regular customer of the restaurant. He greeted him, "Mr. Yu, is it the same as usual today?"

"Add one more serving today." said the man in white robe. The waiter was stunned. This was the first time, but Mr. Yu was very generous and would give him a reward every time he finished drinking. Therefore, he always looked forward to his coming.

"Okay, Mr. Yu, please wait a moment."

Liu Ji, who was beside Li Fan, stood up when Mr. Yu came in, then quietly walked to stand behind Mr. Yu. She no longer had the coquettish look she had before and seemed very well behaved.

This made the guests in the restaurant look surprised. Many people recognized Mr. Yu, who often came to this restaurant, but they had never seen this woman before. Could she be his beautiful concubine?
Mr. Yu actually has such a beautiful concubine?
The innkeeper's eyes widened. What happened?
Mr. Yu seemed a little different today than usual. I wonder if it was because Liu Ji was standing behind him?
That’s true. If Liu Ji stood behind him, he would be different, right?
Unfortunately, I don’t have this blessing.

"Let's have a few drinks together?" Seeing Li Fan's eyes on him, the man in white robe took the initiative to speak.

When Li Fan saw Liu Ji standing behind the other person, he understood that it seemed that it was the man in white robe who was looking for him, not Liu Ji.

"Okay." Li Fan nodded and brought his wine and side dishes to the table of the man in white robe.

The man in white robe raised his glass, gestured to Li Fan, and drank it in one gulp.

Li Fan didn't hesitate, he picked up the wine glass, poured it into his mouth and drank it all in one gulp. Soon he felt a burning sensation in his body and his whole body was hot.

This time it was really hot.

"The wine in this restaurant is the best. It smells good, but tastes strong." The man in white robe smiled and said, "Just like you, you look gentle, but you are strong."

"Do you recognize me?" Li Fan said.

"You caused chaos in Lin'an City, killed the chief constable, the young master of the Chen family, demolished the City God Temple, and slaughtered the City God. Naturally you will recognize him." The man in white robe responded.

"The news spread so quickly?" Li Fan had just come from the City God Temple. He said, "If you say that, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink properly."

Sure enough, there was an uproar around, and everyone looked at Li Fan and talked about it.

This seemingly harmless young man is the one who killed Chen Zongzhi and Chen Li?
Moreover, he also demolished the City God Temple and killed the City God?

This……

Did they hear wrongly?

Liu Ji also lowered her head and looked at Li Fan with a smile. This guy had really good acting skills. If she were a good girl, she would have been deceived by him.

"Don't worry, no one will disturb you from drinking here." The man in white robe spoke calmly but confidently.

Li Fan had a vague guess in his mind and roughly knew where the person sitting opposite him came from.

Or, could it be the real one?
Liu Ji, whose surname is Liu.

Besides, she is a demon!

That night, the man who confronted the monk Wuxiang was called Mr. Liu by the ghost woman.

"Did you really kill the City God?" A cultivator in the restaurant looked at Li Fan and asked.

Li Fan did not comment, it was not that he killed him personally.

Seeing that Li Fan did not deny it, the man continued, "The City God is a ghost god appointed by the imperial court. Why do you want to kill the City God?"

"The City God secretly abducted young girls and built a prison under the City God Temple. You will know if you go and see for yourself." Li Fan said.

"This..." Everyone around them showed an expression of disbelief, and they discussed: "So, you killed Chen Zongzhi and Chen Li for a reason?"

"The Chen family colluded with the government to cause chaos in Lin'an. Shouldn't they be killed?"

"Nonsense, the Chen family held a demon-slaying meeting to slay demons, and it is the government's duty to eliminate demons, so how could they collude with demons? Isn't it Fulong Villa?"

"Who told you it was Fulong Villa?" Li Fan asked.

"That's what the outside world says, and the owner of Fulong Villa is also a great demon. We came here to investigate this matter and to gather heroes from all sides to eliminate the demon together."

Li Fan glanced at the man in white robes opposite him, and saw that he looked normal, still drinking calmly, while Liu Ji looked at him coldly, with a bit of evil in her eyes, and Li Fan clearly sensed a murderous intent. "I think this area is the most intact and has not been harmed by demons. If it was done by Fulong Villa, wouldn't this be the first to suffer?" Li Fan asked curiously.

"This is a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt. Doesn't this prove that the demons are controlled by Fulong Villa?" the other party responded.

Li Fan was stunned by this explanation.

Reasonable and well-founded!

Li Fan shook his head, too lazy to argue. He looked across and said meaningfully, "Sir, you are quite elegant and can drink so happily."

"What else?" The man in white robes seemed unconcerned: "What you see now are just some minor characters. The big guys behind them haven't arrived yet."

Also.

Probably a group of pawns.

"Was that Mr. Wen's sword intent before?" asked the man in white robe.

"Do you know my junior brother?" Li Fan asked curiously.

Wen Ruyu was the name of his junior brother, but he did not like this name.

The name is taken from the meaning of a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, which is the hope that Brother Wen’s father has for him.

But the junior brother never considered himself a gentleman.

But Li Fan thought this name was nice, and his senior sister's name was even nicer.

Perhaps only his name is the most ordinary.

Just like him, he is ordinary, so his name is Li Fan.

"The sword intent and murderous aura are so strong, it must be Mr. Wen." Mr. Yu drank another cup and sighed, "What a pity."

"What a pity?" Li Fan was a little curious.

"The other party shook his head and said, "I have long heard of Mr. Wen and wanted to meet him, but I have never had the chance."

The man in white robe seemed a little depressed. He drank alone and looked at Li Fan again.

In terms of appearance, Li Fan is handsome and extraordinary, and his talent is naturally needless to say, after all, he is a Lishan swordsman.

Courage, boldness and killing are also good choices.

But it’s still a bit of a pity.

If it was Wen Ruyu, perhaps he would be more able to accept it.

"Mr. Yu knows my junior brother very well?"

"He is the youngest fifth-level swordsman in Dali and the son of the Sword Master on the mountain. Some people in Dali know him." The man in white robe responded.

Li Fan: “Is that so?”

Although he knew that his junior brother was very powerful, he didn't know he was so powerful.

It seems that what the seniors said was right, his talent is indeed mediocre, and his name does not disappoint him.

"Come, have a drink." The man in white robe continued, "You killed the city god today, which is a good deed for Lin'an City."

Although he felt a little disappointed, he still accepted it. After all, Li Fan was pretty good and he admired him very much.

As a sword cultivator from Lishan, his talent wouldn’t be that bad.

"If the root of evil is not eradicated and the City God is killed, I'm afraid there will be another City God." Li Fan shook his head and thought of the grandfather and grandson. If the court does nothing, the people will always suffer.

"That's true." The man in white robe looked at Li Fan with a smile: "Do you want to kill them all?"

Li Fan shook his head. The old blind man once said, if you are rich, you should help the world, and if you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you don't have enough ability, the most important thing is to live a good life. He can't kill everyone.

Killing a few more monsters when you encounter one can be considered a good deed.

Everyone in the restaurant was listening attentively, as if there was some mystery hidden in the conversation between the two.

At this moment, the restaurant shook violently, as if there was an earthquake.

Everyone in the restaurant was whispering. The sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and soon an extremely strong and murderous atmosphere enveloped the restaurant.

Many people walked out of the restaurant and looked outside, and saw a well-organized army marching towards them.

"The prefect has arrived, the prefect has arrived in Lin'an city..." A loud shout came from outside.

"The prefect has led the Demon-Suppressing Army to quell the demon rebellion, and the Demon-Slaying Division has also come under orders. Lin'an County is finally saved." There was a lot of noise and the people of Lin'an were in an uproar.

The chaos caused by demons has made the people of Lin'an City feel insecure and worried all day long, and the Lin'an County government seems unable to eliminate the demons.

Now, the prefect of Chuzhou has personally led his troops to Lin'an County, and the demon chaos will finally end.

Opposite Li Fan, the man in white robe took another sip of wine from his glass and said, "The important person has arrived, and the show is about to begin."

"I'll leave someone to protect you." The man in white robe looked at Li Fan.

"No need." Li Fan shook his head.

"That sword power can only protect you once after all." The man in white robe stood up and said to Li Fan, "Leave Liu Ji here and you can use her."

Without waiting for Li Fan's agreement, the man in white robe turned around and strode away, throwing a silver ingot at the waiter with his back turned.
