The waiter looked helplessly at the sword that Linghu Chong had placed on the table.
What the waiter hates most is this kind of gangsters, no, it should be said that they are drunk and crazy. You can't do anything to him. After all, even if he is drunk and has no strength now, you teach him a lesson, what if he wakes up tomorrow and comes to take revenge? After all, the waiter is just an ordinary person, and he is no match for these gangsters.
Finally, the waiter managed to calm Linghu Chong down and got him out of the store.
With a bang, the door of the hotel was closed, and Linghu Chong was standing alone outside the door, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
Staggering along the street, he couldn't help but think of what he had heard Yue Lingshan say outside her window before, saying how to make Ye Xiu think about her all the time.
Even though the heart was numbed by alcohol, it couldn't help but break again.
Linghu Chong stumbled and fell to his knees: "Junior Junior Sister——"
Bang - the wine bottle in Linghu Chong's hand fell to the ground without being caught. The bottle broke and the wine spilled on the ground.
Linghu Chong, who was already heartbroken, couldn't help but wail: "No——"
……
"Hmm? Where's your senior brother?"
The next day, Yue Buqun was about to take his men to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony, but he didn't expect to see Linghu Chong at all, and couldn't help frowning.
"This one……"
The Huashan Sect members looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Hmph!" Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun could not help but snort coldly, feeling annoyed.
Yesterday, he specially took Linghu Chong to Liu Zhengfeng to tell him that he should take him to attend the Jinpenwuhui today, but Linghu Chong was gone at this time. How could Yue Buqun not be angry?
As for whether Linghu Chong had encountered any trouble or been kidnapped or something like that - there was no need to consider that at all.
Because Yue Buqun lived here, if anyone tried to attack Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun would be able to detect it. So the only reason Linghu Chong disappeared was that he ran away on his own.
Yue Buqun looked on with a grim face as he watched Ye Xiu, Yue Lingshan and others go to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony.
The numerous Huashan disciples looked at Yue Buqun's gloomy face and did not dare to say anything.
After all, what Linghu Chong did was a bit unkind.
"Junior sister, what do you think happened to our senior brother? Did something happen to delay him?" Lu Dayou couldn't help but whisper to Yue Lingshan.
"I don't know what happened to Senior Brother. He was fine yesterday." Yue Lingshan was also confused.
Originally, Yue Lingshan had only had this impression when she read the diary that Linghu Chong was unreliable, and she had no clear understanding of the details. But now, Yue Lingshan had a clear understanding of Linghu Chong's unreliability.
"Senior Brother Ye, what do you think is going on with our senior brother?" Yue Lingshan asked Ye Xiu who was standing beside her.
"Junior sister, you don't know, so I know even less." Ye Xiu shook his head.
Although Ye Xiu was not aware of this situation, he was not surprised. It seemed normal for Linghu Chong to be unreliable when it came to serious matters.
When Lu Dayou saw Yue Lingshan going to find Ye Xiu again, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
Speaking of Yue Lingshan, she is very beautiful and cute, and she grew up with her fellow disciples from the Huashan Sect.
It can be said that it is not just Linghu Chong who has a crush on Yue Lingshan. Lu Dayou and others also have a crush on Yue Lingshan. It is just because Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong have the best relationship, and Linghu Chong is the oldest and their senior brother, and his martial arts skills are higher and better than theirs.
That's why Lu Dayou and the others suppressed their feelings for Yue Lingshan deep in their hearts and hardly let it come out.
This is also the reason why Lu Dayou and others would cause trouble for Lin Pingzhi after he went to Mount Hua and became close to Yue Lingshan.
After all, if it was Linghu Chong who had been better than them since childhood, they would have accepted it. But how could they accept that a sudden appearance of a pretty boy like Lin Pingzhi, who was better than them in every way except that his face was whiter than theirs, won the heart of the junior sister instead?
Ye Xiu's situation at this time was somewhat similar to Lin Pingzhi's. Even though Ye Xiu had been in Huashan Sect for several years, he did not have much contact with them. Even though he was excluded by them, he seemed so close to Yue Lingshan now, which was unbearable for Lu Dayou and the others.
Fortunately, Yue Buqun is still here, otherwise Lu Dayou and the others would have provoked Ye Xiu right now.
Ye Xiu also noticed the hostility of Lu Dayou and the others towards him, but he didn't care. His overall strength might be slightly worse than Linghu Chong's, but he had long since stopped taking Lu Dayou and the others seriously.
The group finally arrived at Liu Zhengfeng's residence.
Yue Buqun, who had originally had a livid face, had now returned to normal with a faint, gentle smile on his face. If someone who didn't know Yue Buqun saw this smile on his face for the first time, they would probably feel a little bit of favor towards him.
"Master Yue, you are here. These are your disciples. They are all very talented..."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Liu..."
"Master Yue is here..."
"Mr. Shan, long time no see..."
"Master Yue..."
After Yue Buqun walked into Liu's Mansion, almost everyone, from all walks of life, who saw Yue Buqun, would take the initiative to greet him with a smile.
Yue Buqun also greeted everyone with a smile throughout the whole process. No matter who the other person was, Yue Buqun could accurately call out the other person's name.
He led Ye Xiu and the others to walk a distance of just a hundred meters for half an hour. This speed was even slower than that of a star walking on the red carpet.
However, it can be seen from this that Yue Buqun's title of Gentleman Sword is not undeserved in the martial arts world. At least at this time, Yue Buqun is still a true Gentleman Sword, not a hypocritical Gentleman Sword.
Yue Lingshan, Lu Dayou and others who followed behind Yue Buqun also had a proud look on their faces. In the martial arts world, apart from their master Yue Buqun, who else could have such prestige? Even if there were, there were definitely not many.
Chapter 40 Little Beggar
Ye Xiu followed behind Yue Buqun, and like Lu Dayou and the others, he was inconspicuous - no, it should be said that he was still very conspicuous.
Because Ye Xiu is handsome!
Yue Buqun himself was a handsome man with an elegant temperament. Among the disciples behind him, Yue Lingshan was cute and pretty. Ye Xiu was also very handsome. The two of them standing together looked like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, and they looked quite well matched.
Many women, especially young women, couldn't help but light up their eyes when they saw Ye Xiu.
On the roof of a house in Liu's mansion, Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan stood there, quietly gazing at the crowd below, or rather, their eyes were focused on Ye Xiu.
"I didn't expect he was so handsome." Qu Feiyan blinked her big eyes and couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards Ye Xiu.
Dongfang Bubai remained silent. After looking at Ye Xiu for a few seconds, his gaze shifted to Yi Lin from the Hengshan Sect.
As time went by, more and more people came to join Liu Zhengfeng in his retreat. Not to mention the famous and upright sects, even some evil sects with a good reputation came.
At this time, Liu Zhengfeng also welcomed Yue Buqun with a smile.
How should I describe this Liu Zhengfeng? He looks pretty good. Not very handsome, but not ugly either. He is slightly plump with a slightly bulging belly. He has a smiling and friendly face. He doesn't look like a gangster, but rather like a businessman.
"Senior Brother Yue..." Liu Zhengfeng greeted Yue Buqun with a kind smile.
“Junior Brother Liu, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I didn’t expect that you would retire from the world.” Yue Buqun also had a smile on his face, but his tone was mixed with some complicated emotions, as if he didn’t understand Liu Zhengfeng’s choice, but he would not object.
"Brother Yue, I am indeed a little tired, and compared to the martial arts world, I prefer music, so I want to quit the martial arts world and concentrate on music..."
After talking with Liu Zhengfeng for a few words, Yue Buqun let out a faint, almost imperceptible sigh after Liu Zhengfeng left.
Now the Songshan Sect is eyeing the other four sects covetously. If Liu Zhengfeng retires at this time, it can be said that he has lost a helper to fight against the Songshan Sect. It would be strange if Yue Buqun did not sigh.
At this time, Ye Xiu glanced around at the people who came to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony.
Then Ye Xiu saw a dwarf - Yu Canghai.
Yu Canghai sat upright on a chair, but if you look closely, you can find that after Yu Canghai sat on the chair, his legs were hanging in the air and did not touch the ground at all - well, he was indeed a dwarf, or even a dwarf.
Not far behind Yu Canghai, stood a hunchbacked guy.
The hunchbacked boy looked very embarrassed. Not only did he have a hunchback, but his clothes also looked a bit ragged, making him look like a beggar. At the same time, there was a dog-skin plaster on his face that covered most of his face. The pair of eyes that were exposed were staring at Yu Canghai without blinking, with a look of resentment in his eyes.
Needless to say, Ye Xiu knew that the little hunchback was Lin Pingzhi.
His gaze lingered on Lin Pingzhi for a moment, then continued to move, and then Ye Xiu saw Yi Lin again.
In fact, Yi Lin's side is also quite conspicuous.
A group of bald people in the crowd are already very conspicuous, not to mention that Yi Lin is extremely beautiful.
In fact, in addition to Ye Xiu, there were many people secretly looking at Yi Lin. Looking at Yi Lin's bald head, many people actually felt regretful. After all, such a beautiful young lady was actually a monk.
When Ye Xiu looked at Yi Lin, Yi Lin also looked at Ye Xiu. The two of them looked at each other.
Ye Xiu smiled and nodded.
Yi Lin quickly clasped her hands together and lowered her head. Her cheeks even flushed slightly, making her look even cuter.
After moving his eyes away from Yi Lin, Ye Xiu saw a pair of beautiful big eyes with clear black and white. These big eyes seemed to be looking at him as well.
Ye Xiu was slightly stunned, because the owner of such a beautiful pair of eyes was actually a little beggar.
The little beggar was curled up in a chair, looking a bit lazy, with a piece of cake in his hand, taking a bite from time to time, looking a bit careless. Apparently, even the cakes from Liu Zhengfeng's house that looked extremely delicious could not make him too satisfied.
If it weren't for the fact that this little beggar was covered in black, giving him a dirty look, with his face, neck, palms, wrists, etc. all looking dirty, and not just the exposed parts being dirty, Ye Xiu would have doubted whether this person was actually a beggar.
Ye Xiu was looking at the other person, but the little beggar was also looking at Ye Xiu unscrupulously, from head to toe, very carefully. In addition to Ye Xiu, the little beggar also looked at the other brothers around Ye Xiu. After looking around, he finally set his sights on Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel that this little beggar was a little strange.
However, there are many people in the martial arts world who have strange looks, strange personalities, strange clothes, etc., so it is not uncommon for a little beggar to look like this. Moreover, Ye Xiu did not see any malice in the other party's pair of big eyes with clear black and white.
Ye Xiu simply smiled at him and looked away.
At this moment, the sounds of gongs, drums and trumpets were suddenly heard outside Liu's mansion.
Then a man in official uniform appeared in everyone's sight.
"Liu Zhengfeng received the order—"
This voice shocked everyone present. On the one hand, the content of Liu Zhengfeng's words was shocking. On the other hand, the person who shouted this sentence, or the voice, was a bit shrill, giving people the feeling that he did not sound like a normal person with full energy, but rather like the voice of a eunuch with too much yin energy.
Everyone focused their eyes on the person who shouted that sentence. As expected, his face was too pale, and he exuded a feminine aura. His gait was also a little abnormal.
Eunuch
The moment Ye Xiu saw the other person, he had a guess about his identity in his mind.
"Liu Zhengfeng accepted the order!"
After seeing the eunuch, Liu Zhengfeng smiled and knelt on the ground to salute.
Seeing Liu Zhengfeng's behavior, many people in the palace couldn't help but whisper about it. Almost all of them were mocking or accusing Liu Zhengfeng, saying that he was not a good person in the martial arts world, but was going to be a dog for the court.
It seems that most of these people look down on Liu Zhengfeng. Even those who used to have close exchanges with Liu Zhengfeng now avoid him, as if they are afraid that they will be mistaken for people like Liu Zhengfeng.
Of course, there are also some people who have a hint of envy in their eyes.
Some people don't want to be the court's lackeys, and naturally there are also people who want to be the court's lackeys.
Chapter 41 Where did the people from Songshan Sect go?
Liu Zhengfeng received the imperial order and became a lackey of the imperial court, while Ye Xiu was also waiting at this time, waiting for the appearance of people from Songshan faction.
Even though Ye Xiu himself didn't like the Songshan Sect, he was powerless to stop this kind of thing and could only watch.
However, when Liu Zhengfeng reached into the golden wash basin and washed his hands carefully, the people from Songshan Sect still did not show up.
Ye Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking confused.
"No! This is not right! What's going on? Where are all the people from Songshan Sect? Are all the people from Songshan Sect dead? Why didn't anyone come out to stop Liu Zhengfeng from retiring?" Ye Xiu shouted in his heart, and a hint of strangeness unconsciously appeared on his face.
Although the abnormality on Ye Xiu's face was not very obvious, even people who did not observe Ye Xiu's expression carefully could not tell that there was something wrong with Ye Xiu.
However, there are just a few people who have been keeping an eye on Ye Xiu ever since Liu Zhengfeng retired from the underworld.
Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan, who were standing on the roof, noticed the strangeness on Ye Xiu's face. Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but smile. Qu Feiyan was even more delighted, thinking that it was really interesting to see Ye Xiu's expression.
"Master, do you think Ye Xiu is particularly confused right now?" Qu Feiyan said with a smile to Dongfang Bubai beside her.
Dongfang Bubai did not answer Qu Feiyan, but his gaze paused on Ye Xiu for a moment before shifting away.
At the same time, the untidy little beggar looked at Ye Xiu with curiosity and even confusion, because the Songshan Sect mentioned in the diary did not appear at all, and Liu Zhengfeng retired from the underworld in such a formal way, and the process was so smooth.
Even Yue Lingshan, who was beside Ye Xiu, was full of doubts at this moment. Why did the diary say that people from the Songshan Sect would appear and even wipe out Liu Zhengfeng's entire family, but now the Songshan Sect did not appear at all?
Even Yue Lingshan couldn't help but wonder if what was written in the diary might be false?
In fact, compared to other people, Yue Lingshan really hopes that the contents of the diary are all false, because the people and things related to her written in the diary are all tragedies. As long as the diary is false, her senior brother Linghu Chong will not be the kind of person who cannot take responsibility and will harm his parents and the Huashan Sect. Her father Yue Buqun will still be a gentleman swordsman and will not become a hypocrite or castrate himself to practice sword. She herself will not be killed, and her mother will not die.
Yue Lingshan's eyes flickered, she even wanted to ask Ye Xiu, but unfortunately, she couldn't bring herself to ask about anything related to the diary.
But a seed of doubt was planted in Yue Lingshan's heart.
Liu Zhengfeng's incident did not break out. However, Lin Pingzhi still jumped out and accused Yu Canghai of Qingcheng Sect, and even tried to seek help at the Jinpen Washing Hands Conference.
