Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Chapter 143 The Four Beauties of Emei

Since they knew that Dugu Yihe would be arriving soon, Jiang Fengyue and the others decided to stay at the Pearl Pavilion. Jiang Fengyue and Lu Xiaofeng had each saved Yan Tieshan's life once, so he naturally treated them to good wine and meat and prepared excellent guest rooms for them.

Instead of going to great lengths to find someone whose whereabouts are unknown, why not stay at that person's destination and wait for him to come? Lu Xiaofeng was also happy to stay here and wait, simply because he was the kind of person who would rather enjoy life than suffer.

Jiang Fengyue knew that Dugu Yihe would definitely come, and there would be no danger on the way. As the leader of a sect, who could possibly hurt him?

If Huo Xiu hadn't been determined to kill him and hadn't sought out Lu Xiaofeng, who in turn went to Ximen Chuixue, his inevitable death would have been sealed.

It had been dark for a long time. Jiang Fengyue, Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou had all returned to their guest rooms. After killing Su Shaoying, Ximen Chuixue had disappeared without a trace. If he didn't want anyone to find him, then no one could find him.

Jiang Fengyue lay on the bed, listening quietly to the sounds around him. Not long after, he heard the footsteps of several people. The footsteps were very light, but he still managed to catch them.

He got up and went outside, and sure enough, someone came.

A visit at this late hour—could it be Dugu Yihe seeking revenge for his disciple?

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou also noticed something was wrong and came out of the room.

Before Jiang Fengyue even saw Dugu Yihe, she first saw four women.

Four young and beautiful women were dressed in very tight clothes, which made their figures look graceful and charming. No wonder they walked so lightly. Women as slender as them, with their excellent lightness skills, could hardly make a lot of noise when they walked.

As soon as Jiang Fengyue saw them, she knew they must be the Four Beauties of Emei, because before she saw their captivating beauty, she had already noticed the swords at their waists.

"Check-in!"

"Signing in with Shi Xiuyun successfully grants you three years' worth of internal energy."

"Signing in as Sun Xiuqing has been successful, and you have gained three years of internal energy."

"Signing in to Ma Xiuzhen successfully, gaining three years of internal energy."

"Signing in with Ye Xiuzhu successfully, you have gained three years of internal energy."

Jiang Fengyue thought to herself, the four of them had such neat names, and none of them sounded bad. The person who named them must have put in a lot of effort.

Lu Xiaofeng was also staring blankly at the four of them. He had long heard of the fame of the Four Beauties of Emei, but seeing them in person was better than hearing about them. He realized today that they were indeed worthy of their reputation.

Ma Xiuzhen looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "You are Lu Xiaofeng?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "I am Lu Xiaofeng. What brings you here, young lady?"

Shi Xiuyun asked in confusion, "They all say that Lu Xiaofeng has four eyebrows, but why do I only see two?"

'

Lu Xiaofeng gave a wry smile; he simply had no way of answering this question.

On the contrary, it was only after hearing others ask this question that Hua Manlou finally realized that Lu Xiaofeng had shaved his two mustaches. He also thought about the day he went to find Ximen Chuixue. Since Wanmei Manor had not been burned down, and Ximen Chuixue was willing to help Lu Xiaofeng this time.

Lu Xiaofeng must have paid a considerable price, but Hua Manlou never expected that the price would be Lu Xiaofeng's beard.

Hua Manlou sighed and said, "I never thought there would actually be someone who could get you to shave off those two mustaches."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "A beard can grow back after being shaved, so it's not a big deal."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Now I really wish I could see again."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Why?"

Hua Manlou laughed and said, "It's just because I want to see what Lu Xiaofeng looks like without a beard."

After being ignored for a long time, Shi Xiuyun suddenly waved her hand in front of Hua Manlou's eyes and said, "Are you really blind?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "That's right. Don't even mention waving your hand in front of my eyes, even if you stab me with the sword at your waist, I won't blink an eye."

Shi Xiuyun curled her lip and sneered, "You're clearly lying. If you're blind, how would you know I put my hand in front of your eyes?"

Hua Manlou sighed, "Although I can't see, my ears are still quite sharp. I can still hear the sound of you waving your hand and moving the air."

Shi Xiuyun withdrew her hand and said nothing more.

On the other side, Ma Xiuzhen questioned Lu Xiaofeng, saying, "Was my senior brother Su Shaoying killed by Ximen Chuixue?"

The fact that they asked this question clearly indicates that they had already arrived at the Pearl and Treasure Pavilion before coming to find Lu Xiaofeng, and had even seen the corpse of their senior brother, Su Shaoying. Since they are here, Dugu Yihe must be not far from here either.

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Your senior brother rushed to his death under someone else's sword, so how can you blame the sword for being merciless? It was a duel between mutual consent; he was simply less skilled. Do you really want to seek justice for him?"

Ma Xiuzhen's expression changed, and she coldly said, "Who are you? I'll only ask once, where is Ximen Chuixue?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and the four beauties of Emei all placed their hands beside the swords at their waists, ready to draw their swords and point them at the group at any moment.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the darkness, saying, "Ximen Chuixue is here."

Ximen Chuixue walked out of the darkness into the moonlight. His white clothes appeared even whiter in the moonlight, which made the black sword at his waist even more eye-catching. However, no matter how white he dressed, he could not hide his murderous aura as a swordsman.

No matter who sees him, whether they've met him before or not, they can recognize him as Ximen Chuixue at first glance.

Ma Xiuzhen stared intently at Ximen Chuixue and said, "So, you're the one who killed Su Shaoying?"

Ximen Chuixue said, "You want to avenge him?"

Ma Xiuzhen sneered, "We're looking for you. We didn't expect you to dare come here."

Ximen Chuixue said, "I don't kill women, but women shouldn't practice swordsmanship. Once they do, they are no longer women. If you want to kill me, draw your swords and come at me together."

The Four Beauties of Emei were clearly unable to tolerate this contempt. Shi Xiuyun shouted, "I alone am enough to deal with you, take this!"

Just as Shi Xiuyun drew her sword, another voice rang out from the darkness, shouting sharply, "Stop!"

The first person Jiang Fengyue saw was the plump Yan Tieshan; after all, his large size always made him stand out first.

However, the person speaking was not him, but the one next to him. Standing beside him was a very dignified man with prominent cheekbones and triangular eyes.

The man looked at Shi Xiuyun and said coldly, "If you act rashly, do you want to end up like your senior brother?"

'

Shi Xiuyun lowered her head, and upon hearing these words, she had no choice but to sheath the sword she had drawn.

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Yan Tieshan, who had a smile on his face, and said, "This is—"

Yan Tieshan smiled slightly and said, "Dugu Yihe."
