The sun sets and the stars rise.
Su Baiyi and Mu Nianhua stood by the river and said goodbye.
"The journey to Kunlun is long, so Mr. Su must be careful." Mu Nianhua sighed.
Su Baiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Mu, are you worried about me?"
Mu Nianhua patted Su Baiyi's shoulder and asked, "Is the hairpin I gave you still there?"
Su Baiyi nodded: "Of course."
"That's good. Don't lose it." Mu Nianhua turned around and said, "I'll wait for you in Qingzhou City."
"I always feel that your hairpin is a big trouble." Su Baiyi frowned slightly.
"If you have even climbed Kunlun, then this hairpin is really not a problem." Mu Nianhua waved his hand, "Su Baiyi, I want to bet on you."
"What's the bet?" Su Baiyi asked confusedly.
"In the future, when you become a great hero like Su Han and build a sect that is more powerful than Shanglin Tiangong, you will form an alliance with me." Mu Nianhua stretched out a hand.
Su Baiyi was stunned: "So in Master Mu's mind, I am such a powerful person? A great hero like Su Han, and a sect more powerful than Shanglin Tiangong? Master Mu, you are so bold to say that!"
"Since it's a bet, there's no point in betting on a predetermined situation. What we're betting on is something that ordinary people dare not even think about. If you really become the greatest hero in the world, and you and I form an alliance, then the next head of the Mu family will be none other than me." Mu Nianhua said generously, without any disguising meaning, "I've helped you so much along the way, I think Mr. Su, you won't refuse me, right?"
Su Baiyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold Mu Nianhua's: "I dare not say how great a hero I can be. I can only say that if Mr. Mu needs my help in the future, as long as it does not harm others, I will give it to you!"
"That's great!" Mu Nianhua laughed loudly.
Su Baiyi let go of his hand, then jumped on the horse and turned his horse around: "There should be many people who want to form an alliance with you, why did you choose me?"
Mu Nianhua raised his head: "Because I see the spirit of soaring clouds in you!"
"Another fortune teller." Su Baiyi smiled, swung the whip violently, and walked forward.
In front, Su Jian and Tan Tai Jing Yue had stopped for some time. I don't know what Su Jian was talking about, but it made Tan Tai Jing Yue giggle. Su Bai Yi rode his horse to their side. Su Jian put away his smile and said with some dissatisfaction: "Friends, why don't you say a few words when you say goodbye? You're back so soon?"
"Some things will be discussed when I come back." Su Baiyi pulled the reins.
Su Jian narrowed his eyes: "Are you so sure that we can come back?"
"It's just a Kunlun Mountain, how difficult can it be?" Su Baiyi curled his lips.
"Kunlun, what do you northern barbarians call it?" Su Jian asked Tan Tai Jing Yue.
Tan Tai Jing Yue replied without hesitation: "Tian Zhu."
"Yes, Tianzhu. In my hometown, it is also called Yujing Mountain. It is the place where Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones, holds his Taoist temple." Su Jian said quietly, "Jingyue, has anyone in your tribe ever been to Kunlun?"
"They have been there, but they never came back." Tan Tai Jing Yue looked into the distance, her expression suddenly becoming serious, "I can't send you to Kunlun either. I can only send you two to Wuyin Mountain. After crossing Wuyin Mountain, you can walk another thousand miles to see Kunlun. Some people also say that behind Wuyin Mountain is actually Kunlun, but it just needs a divine light to guide the last part of the journey. People who are not destined to be there cannot see that divine light, so no matter how you walk, you will never reach Kunlun."
"That divine light is in my arms." Su Jian waved his whip and said, "Let's go."
Tan Tai Jing Yue looked at Su Bai Yi in confusion and asked, "Mr. Su Jian said that the divine light is in his arms. What does that mean?"
Su Baiyi thought for a moment and replied, "He has a few candles in his arms."
Tan Tai Jing Yue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "Mr. Su is handsome, but he is not as good as Mr. Su Jian in telling jokes."
Su Baiyi scratched his head: "After all, I am not as good as the old man. My heart cannot be broken into several pieces."
Qingzhou City, Mu Mansion.
Mu Qinse was sitting in the main hall, drinking tea leisurely. Several elders of the Mu family were sitting in the hall, each of them wearing golden clothes and with white hair and beard.
"I heard that Priest Xue is here at the mansion?" the old man sitting in the first seat said in a deep voice.
Mu Qinse put down the teacup and said calmly, "Yeah."
Everyone gasped.
"This is very dangerous." The old man who spoke just now continued.
"Yes, this is too dangerous." Others also responded.
Mu Qinse smiled and said, "Some of you support the third brother, some support the fourth brother, some support the sixth brother, but no one supports the seventh brother."
The elders looked at each other, frowned slightly, and said nothing.
"This Priest Xue did not come for the treasure of our Mu family, but for a girl. This girl is a friend invited by the Seventh Brother. So Priest Xue can also be considered as someone invited by the Seventh Brother." Mu Qinse raised her eyebrows.
The leading old man snorted coldly: "No matter who invited him, it is too disturbing to let the second best person in the world live in our Mu Mansion."
"Ning Qingcheng is dead. If we count according to the martial arts ranking list from many years ago, he is number one in the world." Mu Qinse tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "If you think you have the ability to shake the number one position in the world, you can try to drive him away. I have no objection."
The old man frowned and asked, "What does the master mean?"
"What I mean is that the martial arts world is changing, and it's time for our Mu family to change as well." Mu Qinse stood up, "Every storm is a reshuffle. If our Mu family still wants to be the richest family in the world, we have to find our own bargaining chips in the storm!"
The old man narrowed his eyes: "The head of the family wants to put the chips on Priest Xue."
"You're wrong again." Mu Qinse sighed softly, "My bargaining chip is naturally on that girl and the young people standing next to her. Priest Xue is the best in the world, but he is already a hero of the old era. The new era is coming soon!"
In the backyard, Priest Xue placed his hand on Nangong Xier's shoulder, and the mask on his face kept changing its appearance until it finally stopped at a sinister and terrifying Rakshasa face. He withdrew his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Your internal energy has been taken away, but new internal energy has begun to arise."
Nangong Xier nodded: "Yes. So in the past few days, I feel that the resistance in my body has become stronger and stronger."
"You need to make a decision." Priest Xue said in a serious tone, "To abolish all your current internal martial arts skills is very difficult and painful. Not only is the process of abolishing your martial arts skills more painful than death, but also because you will become a useless person for a long time."
Nangong Xier didn't hesitate, just nodded: "Okay."
