Chapter 140: The Sword Sect's Visitors
After receiving the reply, Xie Yuan nodded and decided to take the Lin brothers and sisters to Chunjiang Tower to meet with the people from Yunshan Sword Sect in two days.

I heard from Boss Wu that the man was the outer sect deacon of the Sword Sect, the one who walked around outside looking for disciples, and he was exactly the right person.

As for Xie Yuan himself... he hadn't decided whether to join the Sword Sect in the future, so he decided to wait and see, and let the Lin brothers and sisters help him explore the way.

After making up his mind, Xie Yuan looked at the sky, ran to the cafeteria to get a large box of food, and slowly carried it back to his own courtyard.

Squeak.

The courtyard door was gently opened, and Xie Yuan poked his head in. Seeing no one at the window, he stepped in quietly.

In the inner room, Mu Chaoyun, who was sitting cross-legged, moved his eyebrows slightly, then his nose twitched, he opened his eyes, his eyes moved slightly, and then closed his eyes again.

Xie Yuan walked into the room and saw Mu Chaoyun sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed like a sculpture. He then opened the food box and placed it on the table.

"Miss Mu, it's time for dinner."

Xie Yuan called out, but seeing that Mu Chaoyun turned a deaf ear and did not move, he smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

Mu Chaoyun listened to the noise of Xie Yuan eating. His pointed nose twitched twice and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Finally, she couldn't help but open her eyes and said coldly:

"Why are you eating so loudly?"

"It smells so good! Today the chef has stewed pig blood and roasted pigeon. It's his specialty. I won't talk about the taste."

Xie Yuan wiped his mouth and smiled:
"Miss Mu, come and eat. These dishes can generate blood, which will be good for your injury."

After hearing the last sentence, Mu Chaoyun's brows relaxed slightly and his expression softened a little.

She hummed lightly, moved her steps, walked to the table, sat down, and started eating.

Xie Yuan smiled slightly, said nothing, and quietly dealt with the dishes in front of him.

After the meal, Xie Yuan cleaned up everything neatly, and each of them made a pot of tea to moisten their throats. He said slowly:

"I will go to Chunjiang Tower in two days to meet with the people from Yunshan Sword Sect to see if I can let the Lin brothers and sisters join the sect. As for me, I will wait and see. I haven't made up my mind yet."

"what ever."

Mu Chaoyun did not comment.

Xie Yuan glanced at her and said:

"In addition to Third Brother Lu, the two siblings also hated you, even though they didn't know who you were. But I tried to persuade them, but they just couldn't listen... They even said they wanted to take revenge on you."

"Whatever they want."

Mu Chaoyun said calmly:

"But if they come looking for me, I won't just sit there and wait for death."

Xie Yuan looked at her and suddenly laughed.

Mu Chaoyun frowned slightly and said puzzledly:
"why are you laughing?"

"It seems that you also think that it is not unreasonable for them to seek revenge on you."

Xie Yuan nodded with satisfaction, feeling inexplicably happy.

He figured it out. If Mu Chaoyun was a cold-blooded and heartless person, he would not have reacted like that just now, nor would he have tolerated the revenge of the two.

As long as Mu Chaoyun and Xie Yuan did not have completely different values, he felt that the two of them could still sleep in the same yard, and all his worries would disappear.

As for the matter of Linjiazhuang, if he were in Mu Chaoyun's position, he would make the same choice. But even if it was the only choice, Xie Yuan would always feel guilty for involving others, even if he did not regret it.

Mu Chaoyun understood Xie Yuan's intention, snorted lightly, and said:
"I said, again, same choice."

Xie Yuan ignored her, and the knot between the two seemed to be untied suddenly, and they were just slightly angry with each other.

Mu Chaoyun watched Xie Yuan busy making tea and wiping the table, blinked, and suddenly said:
"You knew they wanted to seek revenge on me, but you sent them to Yunshan Sword Sect?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw Mu Chaoyun staring at him with a dark look, and hissed:
“They don’t know who you are…”

"What if they find out someday? If they succeed in learning martial arts and seek revenge on me, what will you do? The Yunshan Sword Sect is quite powerful."

Mu Chaoyun said lightly.

Xie Yuan laughed awkwardly:
"Isn't that possible? They have no skills at all now, and they can't catch up with you, a great master, even if they practice for their whole lives."

"Nothing in the world is absolute. If they are geniuses, they may attain enlightenment one day."

Mu Chaoyun made an assumption and stared at Xie Yuan:

"I just ask, who should you help then?"

Xie Yuan blinked.

Don't fight anymore.jpg
I don't like fighting, I just like to resolve fights.jpg
He shook his head silently, shook off the scene in his mind, and whispered:

"You'd better not fight..."

Seeing that Mu Chaoyun was still looking at him calmly, he could only sigh:
"But no matter what, I can't just watch Miss Mu being bullied."

After hearing this, Mu Chaoyun leaned back slightly in his chair and hummed softly.

She turned her head away slightly and said coldly:
"There's no way they can beat me. You're underestimating me. There's no need to make things difficult for me."

...?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Xie Yuan's face was filled with black lines. Didn't you just say that?

Mu Chaoyun seemed to realize that he was being unreasonable. He adjusted his hair uncomfortably, turned around, stared at Xie Yuan, and said ambiguously:

"But letting them learn sword skills is the right way to go."

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Mu Chaoyun said nothing more. She took out the Bagua Lotus with her slender hands and handed it to Xie Yuan:

"take it."

Xie Yuan smiled slightly, took the Black Book, looked at Mu Chaoyun and said:

"I thought there would be nothing to watch today."

Mu Chaoyun glanced at him and said calmly:
"It seems that your food box and what you just said are for this?" "What do you think?"

Xie Yuan smiled slightly and simply handed the Bagua Lotus back.

"Playing hard to get."

Having said that, Mu Chaoyun flicked her white hand and the black and white lotus swung back.

The Black Book, a treasure of martial arts that had stirred up countless storms, seemed to have become an unwanted piece of junk, floating around the room.

Xie Yuan laughed and picked the lotus from the air:

"It seems that Miss Mu has fallen into the trap."

He held the Bagua Lotus, ran to the side and observed it carefully.

Before sinking into the lotus world of birth and death, Xie Yuan was slightly absent-minded.

After making up with the minor conflict, the two of them actually became closer. Although they had developed some tacit understanding of living together before, it was the first time for them to joke with each other like this, especially with Mu Chaoyun's most important Black Heaven Book.

[Black Book: (29/100)]

Two days later, Chunjiang Tower, evening.

The setting sun is like blood, dyeing the river water red.

In the private room on the second floor, two swordsmen were leaning on the railing, looking out, drinking by themselves, looking very comfortable.

There are two swordsmen, one middle-aged and one young. The middle-aged one has a calm temperament, while the young one is as sharp as a sword out of its sheath. Both look extraordinary.

Even when they were sitting, the two of them put their swords on their backs, as if they were reluctant to take them off.

dong dong dong.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and the middle-aged swordsman said loudly:

"Come in."

With a creak, Boss Wu pushed the door open and walked in, bowing with a bright smile on his face:

"My two heroes, are you satisfied with today's meal?"

The middle-aged swordsman laughed:
"Boss Wu, what are you talking about, you're just making nonsense calls every time. Well, today's dishes are just to my liking as always, otherwise I wouldn't come here every time. Zifeng, what do you think?"

The young swordsman nodded slightly, speaking sparingly:

"not bad."

When Boss Wu heard this, his old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum:

"It is an honor for Chunjiang Tower to be liked by you two! Mr. Cui, everyone in Yunzhou knows that the Yunshan Sword Sect is the number one sect in Yunzhou. The swordsmen on the mountain are all top-notch heroes who defend the way, eliminate demons, and protect peace. You deserve the title of heroes!"

The young swordsman puffed out his chest slightly. Swordsman Cui laughed and shook his head. Before he could say anything else, Boss Wu came closer and said:

"We also have a young hero in Yunzhao County. At a young age, his cultivation is unmatched in Yunzhao—except for Chief Escort Shen, of course. He has always admired the reputation of Yunshan Sword Sect and wanted to go up the mountain to seek the truth, but he has no way. Knowing that Mr. Cui is here today, he made a special trip to wait outside the door, just to see the master. I wonder if Mr. Cui is willing to give him this opportunity?"

The young swordsman frowned instantly and glanced at Boss Wu, which made him feel cold, as if pierced by a sharp blade, and his face turned pale.

Mr. Cui raised his hand and shook his head:
"Zifeng, don't be rude."

"He disclosed our whereabouts privately."

Zifeng said coldly.

Mr. Cui sighed:
"I was originally looking for outstanding talents for the sect, and I have also told Boss Wu about this. It's not his fault. Zifeng, you are traveling here to temper your temper. Don't show off too much."

He said to Boss Wu with a pleasant face:
"Please forgive me, Boss Wu. Zifeng is the disciple of Elder Lu, the head of Bamboo Sword Peak. He has a clear sword heart and a sharp temper, but he has no ill intentions. Please don't take it seriously. Well, I seem to have heard of this young man you mentioned. Recently, when I passed by the streets and alleys of Yunzhao, everyone was talking about the young escort leader Xie who broke through the Vajra Gate alone. But is he?"

Na Zifeng looked away, and Boss Wu took a breath, his complexion recovered, and he forced a smile:

"It's okay, it's okay. Yes! It's that escort leader Xie. He has admired Yunshan Sword Sect for a long time and is waiting downstairs."

Mr. Cui stroked his beard and nodded:

"He sounds like a great man, let him come up."

"Okay, I'll go call them now."

After a while, Boss Wu opened the door of the private room again and led Xie Yuan and the siblings Lin Cheng and Lin Zhen in.

Mr. Cui raised his eyebrows when he saw that there was more than one person. Zifeng's expression changed and he snorted coldly.

Boss Wu thought to himself that it was bad. He was just frightened by the young swordsman and forgot to explain in detail. Now people might think that he was acting on his own and hiding something, which might cause bad feelings.

The swordsman surnamed Cui had been traveling around Yunzhou and the surrounding states, selecting talents. Wherever he went, as long as he revealed his identity, countless people would flock to him and want to get their own children into the Yunshan Sword Sect. They were already overwhelmed by this. Therefore, they always acted in a low profile, did not reveal their names, and conducted investigations in secret to avoid trouble.

Boss Wu had the audacity to recommend Xie Yuan because Mr. Cui was already familiar with him and liked the food there. He was also pleased by Xie Yuan's clever tricks, so he gave him face, which resulted in some bad things happening accidentally.

Just as Boss Wu was about to make amends, Xie Yuan stepped forward, clasped his hands and said loudly:
"Xie Yuan, the escort leader of Longteng Escort Agency in Yunzhao County, greets the two masters of Yunshan Sword Sect."

Two glances that seemed to be able to see through people were cast at him, and Xie Yuan's heart moved.

What a sharp look.

The look was like two sword energies. The younger one was okay, sharp but not strong enough to do anything to Xie Yuan. However, the middle-aged swordsman's gaze seemed calm, but it seemed to penetrate Xie Yuan's entire body, scanning his weaknesses.

Facing such a gaze, Xie Yuan looked back calmly with a calm expression.

Although this look was sharp, it was nothing compared to Mu Chaoyun's eyes, especially the cold and gloomy look when she was unhappy.

That kind of look would make Xie Yuan feel cold on his back and his whole body tense up. He would experience that once or twice every other day.

A light exclamation was heard, and Mr. Cui withdrew his gaze and looked at Xie Yuan with some surprise and admiration. Zifeng seemed a little surprised as well and looked at Xie Yuan twice more.

"He is indeed a great man in Yunzhao."

Mr. Cui praised, and didn't say anything more to Xie Yuan for bringing other people with him.

As soon as they met, the first test was passed quietly.
