Grand Nuo Lord

Chapter 23 Strange Letter

The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, there are no clouds in the sky, and the sky is as blue as emerald.

On the official road by the river, pedestrians are constantly coming and going. This kind of weather is a good time to go on the road.

Xie Yi and Mulan were sitting in a roadside tea shop, drinking tea and enjoying the coolness.

They are all cultivators. They eat Qi and practice Dharma. Their bodies are filled with spiritual light. They have already reached the point where they are not afraid of cold or heat. Even though the sun is strong, it has no impact on them at all.

The reason why she came in was that Mulan had been living in a deep house for a long time and had not been out for many years. She wanted to come in and sit down, drink some tea and feel the smoke and fire of the world.

Xie Yi only needed to arrive at Fenglindu Hongyeji on the first day of August. He was not in a hurry, so he sat with her.

He took a sip of tea and asked, "Are you really going to follow me around the world?"

"You asked seven times this morning, and I answered seven times, and the answer is always the same. Why don't you believe it?" Mulan said with a smile. She looked at the pedestrians passing by outside and felt very fresh.

Although she is a hundred years old, her personality and appearance are similar to those of a young girl. As soon as she opens her mouth, she attracts the attention of everyone around her.

Mulan has a beautiful face and elegant temperament. Although she is dressed as a woman in the world, she has a gentle temperament that can only be found in ladies. Such women are rare.

Xie Yi sighed secretly. He was making insinuations along the way, but Mulan refused to tell her the real reason for following him, which gave him a headache.

Of course he would not feel that he had saved Mulan's life, and she secretly promised him that she would travel the world with him.

If Mulan really had this kind of character, she wouldn't be a hundred years old and still haven't left the government.

He thought for a while and said: "You don't want to say it, and I won't ask. But I have to say it first. You can follow me to Anping City, but don't enter the ancient cave. I went there to perform a mission and I can't take care of you. Safety."

Mulan turned to look at him, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and she chuckled: "Don't worry, the ancient cave is so dangerous, I won't go there, and I'm not stupid."

Xie Yi nodded. Regardless of whether what Mulan said was true or false, he had made it clear that no matter what the other party did, it was none of his business.

At this moment, an old man entered the tea shop, looked around, and walked straight to Xie Yi's table, "Is this Mr. Xie from Wuling County?"

This old man had a stooped figure, wore straw sandals, and had mud on his feet. He looked like he had just worked in the fields.

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows. He had never seen this person before, and he was not a cultivator. How could he recognize him and know that he was from Wuling County?
He stood up, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Xie Yi, I am indeed from Wuling County. I wonder what I want from you?"

When the old man heard this, he winked at him and motioned for him to go out.

In the woods opposite the tea shop, the old man took out an envelope from his arms and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sir, a young man asked me to send you a letter."

The old man walked a long way, and his clothes were soaked. The envelope was placed in his arms. When he took it out, it was very clean, with no wrinkles at all, and the handwriting was clear, with the four words "Xie Yi personally expresses it" written on it.

Xie Yi took the envelope and immediately felt that there was spiritual energy attached to it. He frowned slightly. The person who wrote the letter was a practitioner, but the handwriting was very unfamiliar. He was not someone he knew.

"Old man, did that young man say his name?"

"The young master didn't say anything. He just asked me to deliver a letter and tell you to go as soon as you see the letter. If you arrive late, something big will happen." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an exaggerated expression.

"Oh, do you remember what that young master looks like, how old he is, and what clothes he wears?" Xie Yi asked again.

"Hey, it's strange. I remembered it just now, but why can't I remember it all of a sudden?" The old man thought for a while and shook his head in surprise.

Xie Yi knew that the old man couldn't remember the person's appearance. It was because the other party had cast a spell to deliberately conceal his identity.

He held the letter without reading it, and said to the old man: "Thank you for the trip, old man. Would you like to go to the tea shop to drink a bowl of herbal tea? I will pay for the tea."

The old man waved his hands and said: "No, there is still work in the fields. I will go back after taking the money."

Xie Yi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that the man asked the old man to deliver the letter, but he didn't give him any money.Mulan was drinking tea from a bowl. The guests around her were staring at her, but she seemed unaware and kept looking at the woods opposite the tea shop.

Suddenly, Xie Yi's voice sounded in her ears, "Sister, come over here, I will discuss something with you."

Hearing this, she squirted out a mouthful of water, her fair face turned red instantly, she wiped her mouth in panic, and then ran out under the astonished eyes of everyone.

Soon, Xie Yi and Mulan returned to the tea shop and continued to drink tea.

Xie Yi looked at the envelope and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You asked someone to deliver the letter, but you asked me to pay for it. You opened your mouth and asked me to pay 20 taels of silver. It's really disgusting. Don't let me catch you."

When his voice came out, only Mulan could hear it.

To many mortals, 20 taels of silver was not a small amount, and he could not harm the old man.

Mulan whispered: "He made the old man run away so far with just a few words and made you inexplicably incur a debt. I think this person is quite capable."

Xie Yi looked bitter when he heard about the debt. He had nearly a thousand spiritual coins in his pocket, but very little money for worldly use.

When he came out of Taoyuan Cave, he brought 50 taels of silver with him. He bought wine all the way and now only has [-] taels of silver left.

The old man wanted 20 taels just now, but if he didn't give him the money, he would probably cry in anger. He had no choice but to ask Mulan to borrow it.

"It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero."

Xie Yi sighed secretly. He had been in the world for three years, and for the first time he realized the importance of money to a cultivator.

Mulan kept suppressing her laughter and couldn't hold the tea bowl anymore.

"When I get to Hongyeji, I will pay you back after I exchange the spiritual money for silver." Xie Yi said.

Just now he wanted to use spiritual money to pay off the debt, but Mulan disagreed, saying that she was not short of spiritual money, only silver.

"Forget it, I'm just kidding you. This little girl doesn't care about this little money, so let's go." Mulan smiled and shook her head.

"No, I never want what others owe me, and I never owe others anything. I feel at ease if I pay it back." Xie Yi said.

"Read the letter first." Mulan changed the subject directly. She knew that the letter was written by a stranger and was curious about what was written in it.

Xie Yi opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

Mulan was very curious about the content of the letter, but it was written by someone else to Xie Yi. Xie Yi didn't show it to her, and she couldn't pry into it, so she had to pretend to drink tea as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, the table shook, and the water in the bowl above rippled.

It wasn't the table that was moving, but the sword that Xie Yi placed on the table that was trembling and clanking, as if it would be unsheathed at any moment.

Everyone in the teahouse was frightened, thinking that Xie Yi was going to draw his sword and kill someone. Someone picked up the salute and slipped out of the back door. Even the boss was so frightened that he hid.

"What was written in the letter? It made him have such a strong sword intention." Mulan was shocked and looked at Xie Yi.

At this moment, a flash of sword light suddenly flashed in Xie Yi's eyes, and the sword roared, and the letter in his hand was split into two, as if it had been split in the middle by an invisible sword.

As soon as he let go, the two pieces of paper fell slowly.

Mulan knew that this was for her to read, so she blew a breath, and when the two torn papers fell on the table, they just happened to fit together.

She finally saw the words on the letter clearly and frowned, "What kind of words are these? I don't even recognize them."
