The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Chapter 2: Old Friends (I)

The next day, at noon, Shi Gu took Shen Yue and the other person and got on the carriage that Zhu Yin had prepared for them.

Huiyin City is quite far from Lin'an City. It takes two days by carriage and then seven days by boat to get there.

If Shi Gu was traveling alone, the journey would not be long and a round trip in one day would not be a problem. But if he was with Shen Yue and Su Xue, he could not fly in the air ostentatiously. He could only take the carriage and then the boat like everyone else.

Bai Niao Guan has been doing good business in recent years, and the carriage that Zhu Yin prepared for them is quite luxurious. The interior of the carriage is very spacious. Shi Gu chose the middle seat, sat cross-legged, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Closing eyes and resting is to calm the mind and regulate the breathing. Shigu has done this countless times and it is as natural as breathing.

But today Shi Gu couldn't calm down. He always felt that someone was watching him. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Yue blinking and looking at him quietly.

Shen Yue's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but then she glared back at Shi Gu with momentum from nowhere.

Shi Gu didn't dare to look at it any longer. He closed his eyes again and pretended to rest, but his heart was quite confused.

For some reason, he always thought of the light kiss last night. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't be as confident as Shen Yue.

It's just... just like a young lady who has been molested by a hooligan, feeling ashamed, angry and aggrieved.

If you endure for a moment, you will get angrier. If you take a step back, you will suffer more.

"Master, the Zongming Mansion's competition is still a few days away, why are we in such a hurry to leave?"

Just as Shi Gu was daydreaming, Su Xue lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the carriages passing by on the road, and asked Shi Gu in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his fingers gently, but he felt a little strange. He raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke carefully.

"Well... before I retired, I made a deal with Tsutenkaku. They were not allowed to reveal any information about me to anyone within the time limit I set."

"But today is the deadline, and many people in the martial arts world will know about me."

Shi Gu frowned slowly and said with a guilty conscience.

"How should I put it? Master, I am quite popular in the martial arts world."

"There are many important people who are my friends. If they learn about my news, they will probably rush over to meet me as soon as possible."

"I can't stand seeing this kind of scene, and I hate their enthusiasm, so it's better to leave early."

After saying that, Shi Gu looked up and found that Shen Yue and Su Xue had strange expressions and their eyes were full of suspicion.

Shi Gu spread his hands, shrugged slightly, started to play badly, and said.

"I have a very good relationship with people in the martial arts world. I have had drinks with the mayor of Qingjue Mountain City and played mahjong with the leader of Yulin League. Even the leader of the Demon Cult has to call me Big Brother when he sees me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue and Su Xue looked at each other and then spoke in unison.

"Master, you are bragging again."

Shi Gu wanted to say something else when a strong wind suddenly blew up in the carriage. Amid the whistling wind, a rainbow light passed through the sky and flew towards Lin'an City at an extremely fast speed.

Walking on a rainbow is something that only masters of the ninth level of martial arts can do, and the aura in the rainbow light made Shi Gu feel somewhat familiar.

Oh my god, the mayor of Qingjue Mountain City actually came.

Shi Gu immediately fell silent, adjusted his breathing, and silently concealed his breath. Then, several rainbow lights passed by and rushed towards the house in Lin'an City.

Shen Yue and Su Xue had never seen such a scene before. They stuck their heads out of the carriage and looked at the rainbow light in the sky with longing eyes.

"So impressive, is that a ninth-rank master?"

“I want to fly in the sky too.”

After a brief reverie, Su Xue was the first to come back to her senses. She frowned and spoke in a low voice.

"Isn't it said that ninth-grade masters are rare? How come we have encountered so many today?"

Shi Gu laughed dryly a few times, not daring to explain anything, and just concealed his breath completely.

On the other side, in Lin'an City, several rainbow lights passed by and then stopped above Shi Gu's house. Several figures stood in the air.

A red-haired man, with a burly figure like an iron tower, looked at the house below and took a quick glance. He did not find any aura, but he was not surprised at all.

The thief was best at escaping, and his ability to conceal his breath was unique in the underworld, so it was naturally not so easy to find him.

The red-haired man narrowed his eyes, looked at the courtyard on the ground, and shouted loudly.

"Shigu, you beast, get out here right now!"

"Otherwise, I will smash your yard to pieces with one palm and crush you to death, you son of a bitch."

The man's voice was loud, like a bell, and his dull roar echoed through the sky. His words were vulgar, but they made the houses on the ground buzz.

At this moment, a white-haired old man in the sky slowly opened his eyes, looked at the red-haired man, and said lightly.

"Lord Qingjue, I have already said that this thief's head belongs to my Yulin League. I don't care what grudges you have with him, but everything should be based on first come first served."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired man glared back without backing down and sneered.

"Old Shen, what grudge could there be between you and him? Aren't you here just for the inheritance of the Heavenly Tribulation Killing?"

"I'm different. This bastard poisoned my wine. If we have to line up first come first served, I should be the first to come."

The white-haired old man remained calm and spoke softly.

"My feud with him started much earlier than yours."

The red-haired man snorted disdainfully, with a mocking look on his face.

"Nonsense! This bastard told me at the table that he played mahjong with you."

Hearing this, the white-haired old man, who had always looked indifferent, suddenly became gloomy, veins bulged on his forehead, and he suddenly started cursing.

"Fuck it, the concubine I took in a few years ago was named Mahjong!"

"..."

There was a sudden silence in the sky, and the red-haired man stood still. He touched his head awkwardly, but muttered softly.

"No wonder that guy kept saying that your mahjong feels good. I thought he had never seen anything good."

"Okay, okay, you are indeed more wronged than me. You go first, you go first."

Hearing this, the white-haired old man's expression became even uglier. He didn't want to argue any more. He waved his sleeves and turned into a rainbow of light, swooping down.

However, at this moment, a bright light appeared in the originally ordinary courtyard and flew towards them.

Formation? This thief has indeed learned a lot of secret techniques.

The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes slightly, rolled up his sleeves, and rolled the clear light into his hands. However, the clear light was not a weapon, but a bamboo slip with a line of words engraved on it. The white-haired old man handed the bamboo slip in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"Old man, I'm not home."

The white-haired old man's eyelids jumped, and he stretched out his hand to crush the bamboo slips. However, the moment the bamboo slips shattered, a green mist instantly spread out and landed between his mouth and nose.

"Oh no, it's poisonous fog!"

At the moment the bamboo slips shattered, another ray of clear light fell in the courtyard. The white-haired old man was shocked and angry, and grabbed the clear light. However, this time it was not a bamboo slip, but a painting.

The moment the white-haired old man grabbed the scroll, it opened by itself, revealing an extremely enchanting erotic picture, and on the erotic picture there was a line of words, which read.

"It's not poison, it's a special aphrodisiac I made."

The white-haired old man's eyes twitched and he felt his blood boiling, as if all the blood was flowing to his lower body. The woman in the painting was half-dressed, trying to cover herself but still shy, which was very alluring.

"Damn it!"

The white-haired old man cursed and urged his true energy to tear the erotic picture into pieces. Then he held his breath and began to suppress the aphrodisiac in his body.

However, at this moment, another ray of clear light shot over. The veins on the white-haired old man's forehead bulged and he simply ignored the clear light.

However, this time the clear light was like a firework, blooming in the air, and the light specks spelled out a line of words in the air.

"That's not an aphrodisiac. I was lying to you, old pervert. If you really have a reaction, blame yourself for being too perverted."

The white-haired old man's eyes were red with anger when he saw this, and without caring about anything else, he waved his sleeve to disperse them, and at the same time, he made a sword gesture with his right hand and pointed it downwards.

Ding!

With a sound of sword ringing, a green sword flew out, turning into a huge sword light, and slashed down towards the courtyard below.

Boom!

Amid the explosion, the transparent light shield shook slightly, protecting the entire yard. The huge sword light was pressed against the transparent light shield, pressing down slightly, as if it was a fight to the death.

The white-haired old man's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he pressed his sword down continuously. Soon the transparent light shield could not hold on, and cracks appeared. At the same time, light flickered on the transparent light shield, and another line of words appeared.

"Can we reconcile, old man?"

"Reconcile your grandma's legs!"

The white-haired old man shouted angrily and swore, no longer as gentle and calm as before. He suddenly pressed his sword down, and the huge green sword light instantly shattered the transparent screen.

Boom! The transparent barrier shattered with a loud bang. However, at the moment of shattering, the soil in the yard suddenly surged, and countless white papers flew out of the soil and scattered in all directions.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man sneered. As long as he didn't look at the white papers, no matter what means the other party used, it would not be able to affect him.

However, the red-haired man in mid-air stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of flying white paper. After taking a closer look, he let out a cry of surprise.

"Oh my god, the Qingyuan Sword Technique of the Yulin League! How could this bastard even get hold of such a thing?"

Hearing this, the white-haired old man who was about to rush towards the courtyard paused in horror. He did not even bother to rush towards the courtyard. His body turned into a rainbow light, and he first chopped the white paper in the red-haired man's hand with a sword, and then hurriedly chased after the scattered papers.

The Qingyuan Sword Technique is the secret of the Yulin League. Only the leader of the League can practice this technique. If it is leaked, the Yulin League will lose all face.

The people in the sky looked at the white-haired old man who was chasing after the scattered martial arts with strange eyes and sympathetic expressions on their faces.

According to rumors, Shi Gu once stole a lot of treasures from the treasury of Yulin League. Now it seems that this rumor is probably true.

Those scattered papers did not fall to the ground, but flew into the sky in all directions. Ordinary people could not pick them up, but if they encountered a ninth-grade master who had ill intentions towards the Yulin League, it would be a big deal.

This white-haired old man won’t be coming back for a while.

The red-haired man raised his brows and looked at the courtyard below, a little hesitant. He should have been the next to take action, but after seeing the fate of the white-haired old man, he had to be cautious.

Does anyone know whether this bastard Shi Gu got any martial arts from Qingjue Mountain City?

Just as the red-haired man was hesitating, an ominous aura spread in the air. His expression changed slightly and he raised his head to look up.

However, a ball of black devil flame appeared out of nowhere and burned fiercely. After a while, the black devil flame dissipated, and a woman slowly emerged from the remaining devil flame.

The woman was dressed in a black dress, with bare feet, stepping on the black devil flames. She was like a monarch, looking down at the ninth-rank masters below, looking down on all living beings.

There was no joy or sadness in her eyes, and she looked down upon them as if those ninth-rank masters were just a group of ants.

The leader of the evil cult, Fang Jue.

Fang Jue was tall, fair, and extremely beautiful, looking like a sixteen-year-old girl. But when she leaned over and looked at them, everyone fell silent, even the carefree red-haired man tightly shut his mouth.

In the martial arts world, apart from Shuangtian, all other innate masters are like fictional characters in legends and have never appeared. In this case, everyone in the entire martial arts world tacitly agrees that if the innate master does not appear and Shuangtian does not show up, then the leader of the demon cult will be the number one figure in the world.

Not to mention that she is the youngest ninth-grade martial artist in history and can transform into a demon at any time. As long as an innate falls, she can directly step into the innate realm and become an immortal-like figure.

But even such a person was provoked by Shi Gu. It has to be said that there seems to be nothing in this world that Shi Gu dare not do.

Fang Jue lowered her head slightly, looking down at the courtyard below with an indifferent expression, but she quickly retracted her gaze and said lightly.

"No need to look for him anymore, he escaped long ago."

After saying that, Fang Jue ignored everyone present, turned around, walked into the black silk magic flame, and disappeared.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, then sighed, turned into rainbow light and left. If anyone else said this, they would naturally not believe it, but since Fang Jue said this, they had to believe it.

Everything today seemed like a farce. It happened very quickly and ended just as quickly.

……

The carriage continued to move along the road, but at a narrow intersection, a young couple stopped there.

The woman was dressed in grey, like a nun's robe, but had long hair that reached the ground. She had a faint fragrance like orchids, a graceful face, eyebrows as white as autumn water, and jade-like skin that was as gentle as the breeze.

Pretty as the peach of three springs, and Qingsu as the chrysanthemum of nine autumns.

She held a Zen stick in her hand, standing quietly by the roadside, looking at the carriage approaching in the distance.

The man stood beside the woman, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he did not hide the admiration in his eyes.

My lady, my gentleman is good.

poo.

The man leaned slightly to block the sunlight from falling on the woman, and asked softly with gentle eyes.

"Ninth Miss, aren't you going to look for the Qingcheng Shigu? Why don't you go to Lin'an City?"

The woman heard this, without turning back to look at the man, she moved her lips slightly and spoke lightly.
