Taiping Inn

Qin Su curled her lips: "When I am proud, I brag; when I am frustrated, I reason. This is the style of an old man."

Li Xuandu waved his hand and said: "It's different. Whether I am proud or frustrated, I always reason. The difference between the two is that when I am proud, I teach others to learn reason, and when I am frustrated, I use reason to defend myself."

Qin Su smiled and said: "Then you should go to Wanxiang Academy to study. The scholars there not only have reason, but also morality. Not only morality, but also benevolence and righteousness."

Li Xuandu pretended to be angry and said: "You are saying that I am full of benevolence and morality."

Qin Su said: "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

Just as the two were chatting, there was a rustling sound from the direction they came from, as if someone was coming this way.

After the two looked at each other, Qin Su helped Li Xuandu to walk forward a few steps. There happened to be a dry riverbed not far away, about half a foot deep. The two jumped into the riverbed and sat down close to one side. In this way, unless someone deliberately looked down, they would not be able to find their figures.

Qin Su stabbed the "Drinking Snow" in his hand into the ground, leaving only the handle, and took out his "Phantom Veil" and covered the two people, which was even more foolproof.

After a while, a voice came from the forest above the riverbed. It was a crisp female voice: "Brother, a strange phenomenon appeared on Shanlao Peak just now, and now a large number of Qingyang Sect troops have sealed the mountain. What do you think happened?"

A slightly low male voice said: "It's hard to say, but judging from the momentum just now, it should be the great masters of the Heavenly Realm fighting on the mountain. As far as I know, the Heavenly Realm masters in the Baiyang headquarters of the Qingyang Sect are only General Tang Qin of the Earth God and the first person under Tang Qin, Thunder God. Now that the Qingyang Sect is ready to make a move in Langya Prefecture, it is reasonable for these two people to appear here."

The female voice asked again: "Who will fight with them?"

The man said: "It's hard to say."

Li Xuandu and Qin Su looked at each other. Qin Su was not easy to speak. He didn't dare to use the method of binding sound into a line rashly when he didn't know the enemy. Because the space that the phantom yarn could cover was limited, the two of them were squeezed together and couldn't even make gestures. They could only blink.

Just as Qin Su thought, many times, Li Xuandu was not unable to guess what the woman was thinking, but he just didn't think about it. Seeing Qin Su blinking, he just thought about it for a while, and then he understood, and then raised his chin.

Qin Su looked in the direction of Li Xuandu's chin, and saw the "Drinking Snow" that was stabbed into the ground by her, leaving only the handle. Suddenly, she understood that when the two entered the forest, it was difficult to walk because of the lush branches and leaves of the forest, so she used "Drinking Snow" to open up a path in the forest, and the two came along the path she opened up.

Both of them have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so how could they not understand? Since the two followed them, they never mentioned this matter. It is hard to guarantee that they did not deliberately distract Li Xuandu and Qin Su with words, and then take the opportunity to find the traces of Li Xuandu and Qin Su.

At this time, the two faces were only a foot apart, their breathing could be heard, their eyes met, and they had clearly known each other for only a month, but it seemed as if they had known each other for many years, and they were in tune with each other.

After the two looked at each other, Qin Su tilted her head slightly, asking Li Xuandu what to do.

Li Xuandu shook his head slightly, meaning to wait and see.

Qin Su nodded slightly, and then slowly shifted his gaze to the "Drinking Snow" that pierced the ground next to him.

The meaning was simple, whether to fight the two people outside head-on, if these two people were not good enough, just capture them directly.

Li Xuandu shook his head again.

Qin Su didn't say anything else, just waited for the two people outside to leave.

After about an incense stick of time, there was no sound outside.

Li Xuandu was seriously injured at this time, and his qi was exhausted. Eating a bag of "Marching Pills" was just to temporarily restore his strength. It was difficult to perceive the situation outside, so he had to look at Qin Su.

Qin Su helplessly pointed at the "Phantom Veil" that covered the two of them, and then shook her head slightly.

Li Xuandu understood roughly. Qin Su should be saying that this "Phantom Veil" has both advantages and disadvantages. It can cover one's own aura and conceal one's own whereabouts, but it will also blind the six senses of the person using the "Phantom Veil".

Li Xuandu thought about it, reached out and grasped Qin Su's "Drinking Snow", pulled it out, and then lifted the "Phantom Veil" and stood up. Qin Su also wanted to stand up, but saw Li Xuandu made a downward movement with his left hand.

She immediately understood that Li Xuandu wanted to make the two of them one light and one dark, so that even if there was an ambush, it would be easy to deal with.

After Li Xuandu left, the "Phantom Veil" could cover Qin Su's whole body. She stood up wearing the "Phantom Veil" and took out "Deceiving the Way" from the Xumi treasure at the same time.

Li Xuandu used the "Drinking Snow" in his hand as a crutch and climbed up the forest from the riverbed. Then he saw eight swordsmen standing neatly in the forest. They were all dressed in black and wore black boots. They leaned on swords with both hands. They were not the one-handed light swords that the young heroes preferred, but two-handed heavy swords with a blade of eight inches wide.

The eight people were motionless and made no sound, like stone statues. They were obviously sure that Li Xuandu was in the forest and were quietly waiting for Li Xuandu to show up.

The man and woman who had just spoken were also among them. When the man saw Li Xuandu, he bowed and said, "Madam, you are right. The fourth master will come to Shanlao Peak. The disciples of Tianwei Hall meet the fourth master."

Li Xuandu stood still with the "Drinking Snow" and smiled, "A disciple of Tianwei Hall doesn't even dare to say his real name?"

The man just smiled and didn't make any excuses.

Li Xuandu asked, "What are you doing here?"

The man said, "Madam ordered that if Mr. Si is fine, please return home as soon as possible. If Mr. Si is ill, please send him home immediately."

The difference between the word "please" and the word "send", the words "as soon as possible" and "immediately", is huge.

Li Xuandu said "Oh" and said calmly, "What a good plan."

The woman was sharp-eyed and saw the bag hanging around Li Xuandu's waist. She asked softly, "I wonder what's on Mr. Si's waist?"

Li Xuandu reached out and patted it lightly, saying calmly, "The heads of the father and son of the Tang family."

The man and the woman looked at each other, unable to hide their shock, and the swordsmen behind them were all shocked.

Of course, they knew that Tang Qin was on this Danlao Peak, but they didn't expect Li Xuandu to be able to kill Tang Qin. If Li Xuandu didn't challenge Tang Qin, then they would probably be in danger of death.

After a while, the man slowly said: "As the saying goes, when the clam and the crane fight, the fisherman benefits. There is also a common saying that wealth and honor are sought in danger. It is our destiny to achieve a great achievement today. Madam said that as long as this is done, Taiping money and martial arts secrets will be available."

Hearing the man's words, everyone's eyes suddenly showed eagerness. However, Li Xuandu is a well-known figure after all. In the past ten years, he has always been a big figure that they look up to. Under Li Xuandu's accumulated prestige, these eight people did not dare to make any rash moves.

At this time, Li Xuandu said slowly: "Since you keep saying how great the madam is, I will just assume that you are sent by the third sister-in-law. Do you know why the third sister-in-law sent you instead of using so many hall masters and island masters?"

The man's face sank, and just as he was about to speak, the woman asked first: "Why?"

Li Xuandu said: "Because those hall masters or island masters dare not come. Even if they kill me, they will have to face the accountability of the old sect master. Even if the old sect master does not care, there is still Mr. Er. You know what Mr. Er's temper is, don't you?"

Hearing the three words "Mr. Er", several people's eyes showed some fear. Mr. Er has two nicknames in the world, one is the beautiful name "Mr. Zhang who will last forever", and the other is the derogatory name "Weird Man of the East Sea". It can be seen that Mr. Er has a perverse temperament and is even a bit moody. If he is provoked, I am afraid that the sect master will not be able to protect them.

Several people have already retreated.

At this moment, the leading man said loudly: "A man who is petty is not a gentleman, and a man who is not vicious is not a man. Mr. Si is a real man, but not a gentleman. He has seen us today. Even if we let him go, he will not accept our kindness. In this way, not to mention not getting the reward from the lady, he will die in the future. It is not pleasing to both sides. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to take a risk now!"

As soon as the man said this, the few people who had already developed a cowardly and retreating heart immediately became restless again.

The man immediately added fuel to the fire and said: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If you don't dare to gamble, how can you take it? If we gamble today, we may be able to rise to prominence in the future! Are you willing to be an ordinary disciple for the rest of your life? Don't you want to be the master of the hall or the master of the island?!"
