The cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board and treating all living beings as fish and meat.

Snowflakes fly for thousands of miles, turning the sky into a furnace, melting everything into silver.

Li Xunhuan's carriage slowly approached.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Li Xunhuan was puzzled.

He asked, "What is it?"

Tie Chuanjia replied, "There are people having a martial arts contest ahead."

Li Xunhuan instinctively said, "Then let's avoid them."

He doesn't like to cause trouble.

The next second, Li Xunhuan changed his mind again.

It's quite something to see people competing in this freezing weather.

Just as Tie Chuanjia was about to change direction, Li Xunhuan climbed out of the carriage: "Let's take a look."

Li Xunhuan looked ahead and saw two young men facing each other.

One of them was dressed in thin clothes, letting the wind and snow cover him, but he stood tall and straight, as if he were made of iron.

The other was dressed in scholar's attire with warm clothing underneath, a rather peculiar outfit.

Afei looked at Li Ke and said, "My sword is for killing. Are you sure you want me to fight you?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "Don't you want to be famous?"

Ah Fei asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

Li Ke drew his sword: "How you know is none of your business."

"All you need to know is that there is a weapons ranking list in the martial arts world."

"The people listed on the Weapon Ranking are all masters of the martial arts world, and everyone in the martial arts world knows them."

"The sixth ranked weapon is the Overlord Spear."

"And I defeated that Overlord Spear."

"My name, Scholar Sword, has spread throughout the martial world."

"You defeated me today, and tomorrow your name will be known throughout the land."

"How is it?"

After listening, Afei shook his head: "You just paid me to hire you, I can't lay a hand on my employee."

Li Ke smiled and said, "I only hired you to follow me, I didn't say you couldn't lay a hand on me, did I?"

Afei frowned.

Seeing this, Li Ke sheathed his sword.

"Judging from your hesitation, you'll probably be slow to draw your sword."

"Never mind, let's compete again next time."

Hearing this, Afei relaxed his brow.

Li Ke turned to look at the carriage.

He said, "Let's go have a drink there."

Ah Fei looked at the carriage: "That's not your carriage."

Li Ke walked straight toward the carriage.

Seeing this, Ah Fei had no choice but to follow.

Just now, Li Ke spent one hundred taels of silver to hire A Fei to work for him for a month.

Ah Fei answered.

After all, he didn't have much money.

Upon arriving at the carriage, Li Ke looked at Li Xunhuan.

Li Ke thought to himself, "This face is indeed handsome, only slightly less so than mine."

Li Xunhuan, on the other hand, was sizing up the two young men in front of him.

He thought to himself, "Are all young people these days so handsome?"

At this moment, Li Ke took out a pot of wine.

"Friend, I have alcohol, you have a car, how about we help each other out?"

Li Xunhuan's eyes lit up.

He had already finished drinking, so Li Ke's action was truly a timely help.

"Then come on up."

Li Xunhuan entered the carriage.

Tie Chuanjia wanted to say something, but in the end he kept his mouth shut.

He trusted the young master's judgment.

In the car.

Li Ke then took out two more jugs of wine from his clothes.

One pot is for Li Xunhuan, and the other is for A Fei.

Li Xunhuan immediately accepted the wine.

Ah Fei hesitated.

Seeing this, Li Ke took out a hundred-tael silver note and stuffed it into A Fei's arms: "Now you have money, you can drink."

Afei handed the banknotes to Li Ke again: "Consider this as payment for the drinks."

Li Ke shook his head: "This is far too much. My pot of wine isn't worth that much."

Ah Fei said, "This is the cost of all the alcohol for the next three months."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke nodded: "In that case, I can accept it."

Li Ke put the silver note into his pocket.

The three then looked at each other and drank wine together.

After taking a big gulp, Li Xunhuan started coughing.

His incessant coughing caused a sickly flush to rise on his pale face.

Just then, Li Ke's hand came up to him.

"This cough is really affecting my ability to drink alcohol."

"Let me lend you a hand."

As Li Ke spoke, his inner energy surged into Li Xunhuan's body.

Without Li Xunhuan needing to activate his internal energy, his internal energy began to rebel on its own.

As a result, Li Xunhuan's internal energy vanished without a trace as soon as it came into contact with Li Ke's internal energy.

It's not about disappearing, it's about integrating!

Li Xunhuan looked at the person in front of him and was surprised that such a person had appeared in the martial arts world.

Suddenly, Li Ke withdrew his internal energy.

The next moment, Li Xunhuan coughed three times, coughing up a mouthful of black blood.

Tie Chuanjia immediately lifted the carriage curtain and saw Li Xunhuan spitting blood. He was about to take action.

At that moment, Li Xunhuan raised his hand to stop Tie Chuanjia.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up.

A healthy rosy glow appeared on Li Xunhuan's originally pale face.

"I'm fine."

Li Xunhuan said to Tie Chuanjia.

Tie Chuanjia lowered the carriage curtain.

Li Xunhuan said to Li Ke, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now you can drink with us properly."

As Li Ke spoke, he raised the wine jug again.

Li Xunhuan and A Fei also raised their wine jugs.

The three of them drank fine wine again.

This time, Li Ke drank the remaining half-pot of wine in one gulp.

Seeing this, Ah Fei also finished his drink.

Li Xunhuan was no exception.

Li Ke tilted the wine pot, but there wasn't a single drop of wine inside.

He laughed and said, "That's great, that's great!"

Li Xunhuan then touched his chest.

He nodded: "That was definitely satisfying."

Afei felt warm all over, which was much better than walking in the freezing cold wearing only thin clothes.

He rarely smiled; the money was well spent.

After Li Ke finished speaking, he took out three more jugs of wine: "These are the last three jugs of wine I have. We'll each take one."

As Li Ke spoke, he distributed the wine to Li Xunhuan and A Fei.

The three drank again.

This time they didn't drink very quickly.

They drank and chatted.

"My name is Li Ke. I recently defeated the Overlord Spear, and people in the martial arts world gave me a nickname: Scholar Sword."

"After that, I decided to defeat the top five masters on the weapon ranking list."

Li Ke looked at Li Xunhuan and said, "I came to find you because I want you to have a match with me."

Li Xunhuan shook his head: "I don't know how to fight."

Li Ke said, "Little Li's Flying Dagger never misses its mark."

"Just treat me as an enemy, and shoot me."

"I won't blame you."

Li Xunhuan shook his head again: "I won't lay a hand on my friends."

Li Ke sighed, "How come you're just like Ah Fei?"

Li Ke pointed to A Fei: "His name is A Fei."

"His sword is very fast."

"How fast is it?"

"I don't think I'm any slower than your throwing knife."

"He also refused to draw his sword against me."

Upon hearing this, Afei said, "I will not lay a hand on my employer."

Li Ke curled his lip: "If you won't take action, then I'll have to find Shangguan Jin Hong and Tianji Laoren."

Afei asked in confusion, "Shangguan Jin Hong? The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets?"

Li Ke pointed to Li Xunhuan: "His name is Li Xunhuan, and he's ranked third on the weapon ranking list."

"Shangguan Jin Hong is ranked second."

"The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets is ranked number one."

Afei looked at Li Xunhuan, then shook his head: "Then I'll also look for Shangguan Jin Hong and Tianji Laoren."

Li Ke pointed at Li Xunhuan: "Why didn't you attack him?"

Ah Fei said, "I don't lay a hand on my friends."

Li Ke was jealous: "He's a friend, and I'm the employer?"

Afei nodded.

Then he added, "You were an employer first, and a friend later."

Li Ke sighed, "Alright then."

Li Xunhuan laughed: "Why do I get the feeling that you don't take Shangguan Jin Hong and Tianji Laoren seriously at all?"

Li Ke smiled and said, "I have the ability."

Ah Fei said, "I have one too."

Li Ke shook his head: "You don't."

Ah Fei asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

Li Ke said, "You'll find out later."
