At dawn.
Luo Qingzhou regained consciousness and got out of bed.
Two drops of spiritual liquid have condensed on the surface of the Sun and Moon Mirror.
The color of the spiritual liquid has changed from inky black to light black, and there seems to be starlight twinkling in it.
Luo Qingzhou put away the spiritual liquid, turned the Sun and Moon Mirror to the other side, and then left the room.
Qiu'er had already gotten up. When she heard the sound, she came over to help him put on his shoes and wash up.
As for where he was going, I naturally didn't ask any more questions.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her beautiful and tender face, and thought of the humble and gentle service she had given him last night. He could not help but lower his head, kissed her little mouth, and said, "Qiu'er, what gift do you want? I will buy it for you when I come back tonight."
Qiu Er smiled and said, "I don't want anything, just buy it for Xiao Die."
Luo Qingzhou held her soft little hand and said, "I'll buy it for Xiaodie and for you, too. What do you want?"
Qiu'er thought for a moment and said, "Tanghulu, please remember to buy one for Zhu'er as well."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and took a look.
Zhu'er was hiding in the corner of the corridor not far away, peeking at them.
Luo Qingzhou deliberately said: "That won't work, she didn't serve me last night."
Qiu'er smiled and said, "Then let Zhu'er serve the uncle tonight."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I don't dare, she has a flying knife on her, I'm afraid she will suddenly stab me."
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out of the yard.
Qiu'er was laughing behind him. After he left, she said to the corridor, "Zhu'er, you're always brandishing swords and guns. Even your son-in-law is afraid of you."
Zhu Er came out from the corner, pouted and snorted, "Uncle is not afraid of me, he just dislikes my ugliness."
After that, he walked down the corridor, took out a throwing knife, and threw it at the corner of the wall not far away. With a "puff" sound, the throwing knife pierced into the red heart on the target in the corner.
Luo Qingzhou first went to Lingchan Moon Palace and took the two little white rabbits with him.
Be careful when you go out.
He was in a trance in the alley, and after finding the position of the observer, he jumped over the nearby wall and left through the backyard and roof of someone else's house.
After arriving in the south of the city, Fang walked out of the alley with a swagger.
Sister Dao was already waiting at the alley entrance with a pancake in her hand.
The two went to the martial arts gym, met up with Zhang Yuanshan and his four companions, and set off together.
Before leaving, Sun Jiang reminded them again: "Don't cause trouble on the road. Of course, don't be afraid of trouble. You are now formal disciples of Lingxiao Sect. Don't embarrass the sect."
The six people agreed respectfully and went out.
When they arrived at Shili Pavilion outside the city in a carriage, they went to the stable to rent horses.
Before Luo Qingzhou paid, the staff at the stables led a snow-white, handsome horse over and said respectfully, "Master Chu, this is your Dilu horse, given to you by the princess. When you go out, you can come here to lead it at any time, and when you come back, you can just leave it here."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "When did the princess come here?"
The groom said respectfully, "The princess has not been here in the past few days, but someone came to inform her this morning that Master Chu would use the horse today, so I prepared it early."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Your horse farm..."
The groom bowed his head and said, "This horse farm is the property of the Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion. No matter which horse you like, you can take it away. The princess's people said that this will be your property from now on."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Zhang Yuanshan and others nearby were immediately shocked and envious.
Chu Xiaoxiao immediately said excitedly: "Fourth Senior Brother, from now on, when we come here to use horses, do we not have to pay for it?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "You have to pay double next time."
Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Have you ever seen a businessman who doesn't cheat his own people the most? We are all brothers and sisters. Even if I cheat you, you won't hit me, right?"
"Hit him!"
Sister Dao kicked him.
Chu Xiaoxiao also waved her little fists in anger.
After a few people had some fun, they left, leading their horses.
Of course they have to pay the money, because this horse farm still belongs to the Prince of Southern Country's Mansion. If they are greedy for even such a small advantage, how will others look at them
"Fourth Senior Brother, you are so amazing that you even managed to get the princess of the Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion. You can enjoy the good life in the future, but don't forget us poor brothers and sisters."
Chu Xiaoxiao was riding on the horse, her face full of envy.
Luo Qingzhou patted the horse under his crotch and sighed.
Zhou Boyue on the side also spoke up: "When we were in Mo City, I noticed that the princess treated Fourth Brother differently from others. I didn't expect to meet her again in Kyoto, and we are together."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you think that it was actually that princess who got me? I was actually forced into this situation."
"Bah, shameless, you're still ungrateful after getting the advantage."
Sister Dao spat at him.
Several people rode on horses and talked for a while, then spurred their horses to gallop.
By the time we reached the entrance to the Misty Mountains, the sun had already risen high.
There was already a table of guests sitting in front of the teahouse, eating breakfast and chatting. When they saw them, they stopped talking for a moment.
The two sides looked at each other and were both stunned.
Sitting at the table were five warriors in black tights, three men and two women. They were actually disciples of Master Jin from the Water City branch.
One of the girls was naturally Yun Wanrou, who missed the opportunity to become an inner disciple; and the other slightly plump girl was called Zhang Zhen.
The leading man among them was Lei Yang, the eldest senior brother of the Water City branch, who had once been defeated by Luo Qingzhou in the ring.
Both sides looked at each other and were silent for a while.
Zhang Yuanshan walked up first and bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Lei, fellow brothers and sisters, what a coincidence."
Lei Yang had a blank expression on his face. He cupped his hands but said nothing.
The other disciples all had grim expressions, but none of them dared to speak. They all looked at the young man behind Zhang Yuanshan with complicated looks.
For these outer disciples, it was rare for them to see direct disciples, let alone inner disciples. If they saw other direct disciples at this time, they would definitely be very respectful and excited to go forward and talk to them.
But at this moment, looking at the young man in front of them who was chosen by the sect as a direct disciple beyond everyone's expectations, they all sat on the stools and did not stand up.
First, they felt he was unworthy.
Second, because of him, their Junior Sister Yun did not become an inner disciple, which implicated them. Otherwise, they would have received more training resource rewards in this competition.
Now, they have become a laughing stock.
Because before the competition, they had already received news that their Junior Sister Yun had been selected as an inner sect disciple, so they had boasted about it to other fellow Junior Brothers they knew, but in the end... it became a joke.
They felt that all this was caused by this young man. How could they not hate him
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to pay attention, Zhang Yuanshan did not say anything more. He bowed and sat at another table with his fellow junior brothers and sisters.
A young waitress named Xiaoqi came over and led the horses of several people into the stable, prepared fodder, and then came out to ask them what they needed to eat.
Everyone ordered a plate of beef, some buns, and tea.
Because it may take a whole day to enter the Misty Mountains, eating something hot in the morning will make you feel more comfortable.
The temperature in the mountains is even lower, and the leaves are already covered with frost.
After Xiaoqi brought out the steaming buns and beef, he made a large pot of hot tea for everyone.
Several people lowered their heads to eat, and no one spoke.
At this time, Yun Wanrou came over with a cup of tea, stopped beside Luo Qingzhou, and said softly: "Senior Brother Chu, Wanrou apologizes to Senior Brother Chu for my recklessness and impulsiveness that day. I hope Senior Brother Chu will not take it to heart."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her without saying anything, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Yun Wanrou took a few sips and took the initiative to say, "Master took the others back to Water City first. We heard that there are many monsters in the Yunwu Mountains, so we wanted to stay and hone our skills. This is our third time here. I didn't expect to meet all of you brothers and sisters by chance."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially since both parties are from the same school.
Sister Dao asked, "Where do you live?"
Yun Wanrou said softly, "We'll stay in a nearby mountain village. The environment there is good and suitable for cultivation. Senior Sister Dao, when we have time, let's go to the city to visit Senior Uncle Sun and everyone else."
Sister Dao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell Master when I get back."
Yun Wanrou looked at the young man in front of her again and said, "Brother Chu, with such a good opportunity, why don't you stay in the sect to practice? The cultivation resources in the sect are definitely much better than those outside. By the way, Brother Chu, have you been accepted as a direct disciple by the master of Jianfeng? The sect has only announced that you have been accepted as a direct disciple, and no one knows which peak you are on yet."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "I don't know for now."
Yun Wanrou was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chu, don't you want to tell me? This shouldn't be a secret, right?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It could be Jian Peak, Beiwang Peak or other peaks. Several peak masters are fighting for it, and there is no result yet, so I don't know which peak I will go to in the end."
As soon as these words came out, Yun Wanrou's eyelids twitched a few times, and she forced a smile on her face: "Really?"
Luo Qingzhou said seriously: "Yes."
Yun Wanrou met his gaze, paused, and said with a smile: "I guess Senior Brother Chu must have other extraordinary talents hidden, otherwise he wouldn't have attracted several peak masters to fight for him. Congratulations to Senior Brother Chu, he will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Thank you."
After saying that, he continued to eat beef with his head down and ignored her.
Yun Wanrou looked at him again, smiled, lowered her head, said goodbye and left.
When she turned around, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
After Luo Qingzhou and his companions finished their breakfast, the people at the other table had already left. A new table of warriors arrived and as soon as they sat down they started discussing the matters of Lingxiao Sect and the One-eyed Bull.
"I heard that this time, Lingxiao Sect sent an elder and a dozen inner disciples. It is said that there is also a direct disciple, who went into the mountains specifically to encircle and suppress the one-eyed bull and his men."
"I think the Lingxiao Sect is serious this time. The bastard One-Eyed Bull is really blind. He even dared to kill the family of the Lingxiao Sect elder... It is said that the elder's eldest son was killed by One-Eyed Bull's men. If it weren't for a warrior who came to help, the elder's wife and youngest son might not have survived..."
"The one-eyed bull has been roaming the Cloud Mist Mountains for so many years, and it's not easy to find. The sects often send out tasks for their disciples to hunt it, but they always return empty-handed. It's not certain that they will find it this time. That guy is known as the bandit king of the Cloud Mist Mountains."
Zhang Yuanshan and his companions listened to their discussion and looked at each other.
"Let's go."
Without chatting for long, they left the teahouse and walked along the path into the mountains.
at the same time.
Kyoto's outer city, Eighteen Alleys in the south.
In Dao Mansion, Dao Chengkong was holding a large sword with a golden ring. When he was frowning and thinking in the front yard, the gate of the yard was suddenly pushed open.
