Mu Qinse, a well-known name in the court, business, and martial arts world. But the person standing in front of Nangong Xier at this moment was a middle-aged scholar dressed like a teacher, who seemed not to be that rich.
However, Nangong Xier didn't think that someone would pretend to be Mu Qinse in the Mu family's mansion. She bowed her head slightly and said, "Nangong Xier, a disciple of the academy, greets the head of the Mu family."
Mu Qinse looked at Nangong Xier carefully, then smiled and said, "I finally understand why the seventh brother dared to send you to the Mu Mansion. You are very beautiful, and it is worth him taking this risk for you."
Nangong Xier frowned slightly: "Sending me to the Mu Mansion for treatment, is this a violation of the Mu family's rules?"
Mu Qinse nodded: "That's right, the Mu Mansion never welcomes people from the martial arts world to enter. Although the academy can be an exception, you are smart, young lady, you are not just a disciple of the academy."
"I can leave now." Nangong Xier said directly.
Mu Qinse smiled and waved her hand: "Miss, you don't have to leave. The Mu family does not welcome people from the martial arts world. There are two main reasons. The first is that people from the martial arts world are very poor. They come to the Mu Mansion every day and have to take something away. The second is that there are many disputes in the martial arts world, and it is inevitable that we will be involved. I am not worried about this when I see you. You look very rich."
Nangong Xier smiled secretly in her heart: Then you are wrong.
"As for the second point." Mu Qinse waved a finger and pointed to the back, "The dispute has already arrived."
I saw a man in black appear on the eaves in the distance, rushing towards this side at a very fast speed, but he was stopped just after passing a few eaves. Those people appeared like ghosts, and even Nangong Xier couldn't see clearly where they came from.
"We in the Mu family don't want to get involved in those disputes, it's just because we really think it's troublesome. But if disputes really come to us, we will just eliminate them. My Mu family possesses the wealth of the enemy country, is there no master in the mansion? These people in the martial arts world are still too young and too naive." Mu Qinse sighed lightly.
"But, Master Mu..." Nangong Xier looked into the distance, looking a little embarrassed.
"What's going on?" Mu Qinse turned around and followed Nangong Xier's gaze to look into the distance. She saw that the guards who rushed out were all hit down by the man in black one after another. Their appearance only made the man in black stop for a moment.
"If so!" Mu Qinse said in a low voice.
Four figures landed in the courtyard at the same time. They were all dressed in gold and holding a jet-black sword. The leader had a scary scar that went through most of his face. He stepped forward and said, "Master."
"The Four Black Swords of Luo City?" Nangong Xier asked in surprise.
"You are so young, but you have heard of our names?" The swordsman grinned, and his face looked even more terrifying. "We haven't been around in the martial arts world for many years."
"Rumor has it that you died in the duel with Rufeng Jianshou." Nangong Xier replied, "I didn't expect that you were actually in Qingzhou City."
"Confucian Sword Master, that fame-seeking guy, can he kill us all?" The swordsman snorted disdainfully, "The four of us brothers are just tired of the fighting in the martial arts world, so we retired from the martial arts world."
"It is said that you used to hold four black swords and wear black cloth clothes, and you were invincible in the thirteen continents of Luojing. How come the black clothes have turned into gold clothes now?" Nangong Xier asked with a smile.
"I was poor back then, but now I'm rich." The swordsman did not hide his pride.
"This is not the time to talk about this." Mu Qinse said in a deep voice, "He's almost here."
The swordsman licked his lips and turned to look into the distance: "This visit is unusual."
Mu Qinse frowned and asked, "Is he a master from the Realm of No Return?"
"If he was just a master of the Realm of No Return, he should have been stopped outside the Inner Three Palaces. He must be a master of the Third Realm of Heavenly Dao." The swordsman raised the ink sword in his hand, "Brothers, after so long, our swords can finally see the light of day again!"
"The third realm of heaven." Mu Qinse's pupils shrank slightly, "It seems that the person you have offended is very unusual."
"Get started!" Seeing that the man had already defeated all the masters who blocked his way and rushed to the front of the courtyard, the leading swordsman immediately shouted.
Four black swords attacked at the same time.
Covering the sky and the earth, there was black sword energy visible to the naked eye.
It was as if dark clouds were pressing down on our heads, and the sky and the earth changed color in an instant.
Nangong Xier was also shocked by the sudden burst of sword intent. She was confident that she was not inferior to any of the four swordsmen, but when these four people joined forces at the same time, she felt that even if Zhou Zhengjun was here, he would not be able to penetrate the sword energy formation formed by these four swords.
The man's steps also paused, and he spun after landing on the wall, then waved his palms outward, and actually dispersed the black sword energy directly. However, the four swordsmen also stepped onto the wall, and four black swords were placed on the neck of the man at the same time.
Mu Qinse breathed a sigh of relief and asked Nangong Xier, "Miss, do you know who this person is?"
Nangong Xier frowned. The man who came was a handsome young man with a pale face and a dull expression. She shook her head and said, "I've never seen him before."
The leading swordsman sneered: "Interesting, interesting."
"How is it interesting?" Mu Qinse asked.
"This is a dead man." said the swordsman dimly.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the gate.
“Boom boom boom.”
Mu Qinse looked towards the courtyard gate and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
"Of course it's a guest. I hope the host will come to greet him." A dull voice came from outside the house.
Mu Qinse reached out and touched the jade pendant around her waist, hesitant.
Nangong Xier walked to his side and nodded at him.
Mu Qinse then said in a loud voice: "Since you are a guest, of course I will welcome you. Please come in!"
The courtyard door was pushed open, and the "guest" outside walked in slowly.
"It's you!" Nangong Xier exclaimed.
"It's me." The "guest" reached out and adjusted his mask.
"Priest Xue." Nangong Xier called out the guest's name.
The four black swords looked at each other, drew their swords instantly, abandoned the "human puppet" beside them, and all flashed to Mu Qinse's side. The four swords formed a formation, guarding Mu Qinse in the middle. The leading swordsman said in a deep voice: "Master, Priest Xue is not an ordinary person, you need to gather all the masters in the mansion here immediately!"
Mu Qinse was not afraid, she was even a little excited: "The second best in the world, Priest Xue?"
"Ning Qingcheng is dead." Priest Xue looked at Mu Qinse with a smile.
Mu Qinse smiled and nodded: "Then the gentleman must be the best in the world. I wonder what brings Mr. Xue to my Mu family?"
"Of course I came to find her." Priest Xue stretched out a finger and pointed at Nangong Xier.
