Liu Biyun frowned. She kept staring at Li Muchan, and she knew Li Muchan better than Li Muchan imagined.
When Li Muchan mentioned Mei Daoling, he remained calm, but there was always a slight unconscious change. Cheng Suzhen didn't notice it, but Liu Biyun could see it clearly.
She intuitively felt that Li Muchan was not good for Master Mei and was an enemy rather than a friend.
After the three of them finished talking, they went to sleep. Liu Biyun sent Li Muchan back to the house and stopped at the door: "Brother Li..."
Li Muchan turned to look at her. Under the light, she was as beautiful as a flower, like white jade with a layer of rouge, which made him have the urge to hold her in his arms.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Biyun, get up early tomorrow. I want to see Longshan Sect again."
Liu Biyun lowered her head slightly, and when Li Muchan turned around, she took a deep breath: "Does Brother Li have a grudge against Uncle Mei?"
Li Muchan stopped holding the door and looked back at her.
Liu Biyun said: "I think the eldest brother seems to have a grudge against Master Mei!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Biyun, did you see it?"
"Well." Liu Biyun looked at him for a moment: "How can eldest brother and Uncle Mei have any enmity?"
Li Muchan smiled, shook his head and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly in the future. I don't have any grudge against him. I've only heard of him as a person."
"That's it..." Liu Biyun laughed: "I'm too sensitive. After hearing this, I didn't like Master Mei either. It's too cruel!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Yes, he deceived a woman's feelings and his martial arts skills. He is really not worthy of being a man!"
Liu Biyun hesitated and said cautiously: "There may be something hidden."
Li Muchan shook his head and sighed: "No matter how hidden the secret is, it is right for him to kill someone."
"Maybe that person deceived Master Mei first." Liu Biyun whispered.
Li Muchan frowned and pondered, then sighed: "Well, there is a possibility...Biyun, if you don't go back, Senior Cheng will come to look for someone!"
Liu Biyun immediately blushed and turned away.
Li Muchan watched her leave, returned to the room and sat on the couch. Thinking about today's actions, he was afraid that no one would be able to figure out the truth about Mei Daoling.
Senior Sister Yi Xiaoru is dead, and no one can prove whether his words are true or false. It is a confused account, and all he can do is kill someone to avenge Senior Sister Yi Xiaoru.
As for whether Senior Sister Yi Xiaoru was sorry for him or he was sorry for the other party, he couldn't tell, but as long as they met, he could always find some clues based on his mental skills.

In the early morning of the next day, he had just gotten up and practiced his boxing skills. Liu Biyun came over gracefully, holding a stack of letterheads in his hand.
"Brother!" She came closer, followed by a gust of fragrant wind.
"Hmm——?" Li Muchan stopped and smiled: "What is this?"
"Challenge!" Liu Biyun waved a stack of letterheads and said angrily: "They are all going to challenge you, eldest brother!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "How many people."
"There are already twenty-five." Liu Biyun handed it over and hummed: "I guess there will be more."
Li Muchan took it and looked through it with a smile: "Okay."
Liu Biyun said: "These guys are real!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Why bother issuing a challenge? Just compete in the martial arts training ground."
Liu Biyun stomped her feet angrily and said angrily: "Brother, sparring is different from writing a letter of challenge."
"What's the difference?" Li Muchan asked with a smile.
Liu Biyun said: "Once the other party declares a challenge, it cannot be refused, otherwise everyone will look down upon it. Both parties must suppress things of equal value, otherwise they will also be laughed at! ... Huh, they must have bet on treasure!"
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is there still such a rule?"
"Yes, the two families are suppressing things. Whoever wins gets it. No lives are allowed. Seniors are present to supervise." Liu Biyun said.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "This is a good way to settle a personal feud."
If there is a grudge between two parties, then write a letter of challenge. If the other party dares not accept the challenge, it will lose face, completely lose its prestige, and be looked down upon by everyone. If you can defeat the other party, you will get something. The best way to relieve hatred.
The winner relieves his anger, while the loser is humiliated and depressed, loses face and money, so they are forced to practice martial arts hard. After practicing martial arts, they can take revenge.
Liu Biyun said: "They are so bad!...Brother Li, wait, I will get some jewelry!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Don't worry, what will they deposit?"
"Usually it's a banknote." Liu Biyun said.
Li Muchan smiled and waved his hand: "Wait a moment."
Under Liu Biyun's puzzled gaze, he turned around and entered the room, then brought a stack of banknotes over and handed them to Liu Biyun: "Are these enough?"
Liu Biyun looked at him in surprise, took the banknote and counted it, and said in surprise: "Ten thousand taels?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It was obtained by robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Liu Biyun pursed her lips and smiled: "Robbing the rich and giving to the poor? How come there are so many?"
Li Muchan laughed twice and said sheepishly: "Aren't I just poor?"
Liu Biyun chuckled lightly, glanced left and right, and whispered: "If Master finds out, I will tell you that you violated the sect's rules!"
Li Muchan said: "What I robbed was a guy who was ruthless just to get rich...are these enough?"
"Well, ten thousand taels is enough!" Liu Biyun nodded vigorously: "They don't have much money. Brother, you pick the ones with the weakest first, and there will be more and more."
People who fall in love become stupid. If she sees others doing this, she will definitely feel disgusted. People who practice martial arts take over those who can't martial arts, which is bullying. If it were Li Muchan, she would feel happy.
She felt that none of her peers in the sect could defeat Li Muchan. Unless a hermit, like Senior Brother Jing, had a glimmer of hope, the rest were just giving him money, so fighting with a wheel was useless.
————
Li Muchan and Liu Biyun followed Cheng Suzhen to the martial arts training ground in the woods. The strong wind on the cliff was blocked by the woods and turned into a gentle breeze blowing everyone's clothes and cheeks.
The air is fresh, the sun is hanging in the sky exuding warmth, and the temperature in the forest is pleasant, neither cold nor hot. The temperature here is much lower than that at the bottom of the mountain.
When the three of them arrived at the martial arts training ground in the forest, four to five hundred people almost occupied the training ground. It was very lively. When they saw them coming, hundreds of eyes were directed at Li Muchan.
Li Muchan walked leisurely, smiling at everyone's eyes.
Cheng Suzhen was walking in a fluttering white shirt. She kept looking at Li Muchan from the corner of her eye. Seeing his expression, she was secretly satisfied.
More than twenty young men in sapphire robes stood quietly in the east, glaring coldly at Li Muchan, while in the north stood three old men in gray with cold expressions.
Seeing Li Muchan coming over, the three old men also cast their gazes. They wanted to see through him with their scorching eyes. Their expressions changed and they looked at each other.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and secretly admired that it was indeed the Longshan Sect. These three elders had profound cultivation skills that were far beyond the reach of ordinary masters. They were considered top masters in the martial arts world.
"Uncle Jin, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Bai, are you here?" Cheng Suzhen said with a surprised smile.
The short and thin old man with a scorched face said in a deep voice: "Xiao Cheng, why are you here to join in the fun?"
"Uncle Jin, I can't just watch the fun!" Cheng Suzhen pursed her lips and chuckled: "Uncle Jin, why should I go out in person? It's just a kid's nonsense!"
The old man with a scorched face ignored her and turned to look at Liu Biyun, looking up and down. He nodded: "Biyun is good!"
Cheng Suzhen chuckled and said, "How can Uncle Jin say this?"
The old man with a scorched face snorted: "A discerning eye, Biyun is better than your master!"
Cheng Suzhen giggled: "You can praise me, Uncle Jin, and I, the master, will follow Yu Yourong!"
The old man with a scorched face said angrily: "Don't show off and let the younger generation laugh!...Is this my childhood sweetheart Li Guanhai?"
Li Muchan clasped his fists and smiled: "Young man Li Guanhai has met three seniors."
Another round-faced old man laughed and said: "Okay, he is a young hero. No wonder he can compare with these boys. Not bad, not bad!"
This old man had a round face and was amiable, just like the grandfather next door. However, Li Muchan did not dare to underestimate him. Among the three of them, he had the most evil aura. Even though he tried his best to hide it, he could not hide it from Li Muchan.
The last old man, with a thin face, stroking his beard, smiled and nodded, showing his approval.
Cheng Suzhen pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, don't let these little guys lose their confidence. It's time for them to calm down their arrogance!"
"You girl, you have such a bad heart!" The old man Qing Kui shook his head and laughed.
The old man surnamed Jin said in a deep voice: "Okay, since people are here, let's start. Brother Li knows the rules, right?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes."
The old man surnamed Jin said: "There are twenty-two letters of war in total. Can you accept all of them?"
Li Muchan nodded, and the old man named Jin said: "You can choose anyone."
Li Muchan smiled and took out a war card from his arms and handed it out. The old man surnamed Jin took it, looked down and shouted: "Tian He!"
A skinny young man stepped forward, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Here we are!"
"What's the deposit?" asked the old man surnamed Jin.
The skinny young man Tian He took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them over: "One thousand taels of silver!"
"Well." The old man surnamed Jin took it and counted: "Exactly one thousand taels!"
He turned to look at Li Muchan, who took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, took out one and handed it to the old man named Jin, letting everyone take a breath.
One piece is one thousand taels, so this pile contains not only 100,000 but also 80,000!
The old man surnamed Jin handed the banknote to the old man surnamed Xu and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll say it again, until the number is counted, the winner will be determined, not life or death!"
"Yes." Tian He responded in a deep voice, and Li Muchan nodded.
"Let's begin!" The old man surnamed Jin took two steps back, and everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
————
Tian He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Muchan, and said coldly: "I want to learn Li Shaoxia's palm skills!"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I only practice swordsmanship and use swordsmanship."
"You..." Tian He frowned.
The old man surnamed Jin said in a deep voice: "Tian He, don't try to take any tricks. He is a swordsman. He is useless without a sword! ... If you can't beat him, just admit defeat!"
"Okay." Tian He said helplessly: "Then let me learn your sword skills!"
He drew his sword out of its sheath, and thrust out the sword together. Li Muchan shook his head, and with a slight strike of the sword, Tian He's figure came to an abrupt stop.
Li Muchan smiled and took back his long sword: "Process!"
Tian He touched his throat, and there seemed to be a sword pressed against him. It was so cold that he looked at Li Muchan with a pale face, in disbelief.
The old man surnamed Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Li Guanhai wins!"
There was silence all around, and everyone was silent. They just stared at Li Muchan, trying to see through his swordsmanship. The sword just now was too fast for them to see clearly.
The three old men looked at each other, horrified. Li Muchan's sword strike just now was too fast, and they could not see it clearly.
"The money is yours, brother Li, will you come next?" the old man surnamed Jin said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Li Muchan smiled and reached for the stack of letters of challenge, then handed it to the old man named Jin. After taking the letter of challenge, the old man called out: "Lu Changfeng."
A burly young man strode over. Li Muchan smiled and gave him a friendly fist pump.
Lu Changfeng had no intention of making friends with him, so he pulled out his sword and said loudly: "One hundred taels!"
Everyone was buzzing with discussion and shaking their heads. They had never heard of a lottery of one hundred taels. They were really embarrassing the Longshan Sect!
"One hundred taels?" The old man surnamed Jin looked over.
Lu Changfeng nodded bravely: "Yes, one hundred taels!"
"...Okay." The old man surnamed Jin didn't say anything in the end. He turned to look at Li Muchan, who also nodded: "Okay, one hundred taels will be one hundred taels."
Lu Changfeng felt that his face was numb and he was embarrassed to see others. But it would be stupid to give money away even though he knew he would lose. If he hadn't gone back on the challenge and it would be too embarrassing to admit defeat, he would have given up a long time ago. The sword just now knocked him out of the battle.
The intention is to scatter.
————
Li Muchan slowly pulled out his sword, and Lu Changfeng shouted loudly before drawing out his sword and slashing. The light of the sword turned into streaks and went straight down. It was extremely fierce and had an aura that would never come back.
Li Muchan shook his head. With a slight stab, everyone's eyes felt blurred, and the light of the sword disappeared like a sword. Lu Changfeng stood motionless, and the sword stopped in mid-air.
Li Muchan took back his sword and said with a smile: "Senior Jin, let's be next."
He took out a war card from his arms and flicked it. The war card fluttered to the old man named Jin. After catching it, he read out a name in a deep voice, and another young man came out slowly, walking heavily.
People's hearts were also heavy. They did not expect that Li Muchan was so skilled in swordsmanship. This time it was a thousand taels. He was not as shameless as Lu Changfeng.
Li Muchan won with another sword. He put away the sword and shook his head. He took out the remaining letters of challenge from his arms and handed them all to the old man named Jin: "Senior Jin, let them join together!"
The old man surnamed Jin was startled, frowned and looked at Li Muchan, and then glanced at the remaining young people. Their faces suddenly flushed, and their eyes were like spitting fire.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's too troublesome to do it one by one. Why don't we all join together? If I lose, all the money will belong to everyone!"
The old man surnamed Jin slowly looked at the young people: "What do you mean?"
Everyone was silent and bowed their heads under the cold gaze of the old man named Jin.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "If I win, how about one hundred thousand taels of silver each for everyone?"
"One hundred thousand taels?" Everyone took a breath of cold air, murmured, and started talking about it.
One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. The average person can only spend more than a dozen taels a year. Ten thousand taels is already a huge amount of money. One hundred thousand taels is not enough for their entire family.
Li Muchan turned around and said with a smile: "I only have one hundred thousand taels here, do you guys dare to take a gamble?"
Everyone was silent, looking at each other and exchanging ideas with each other.
Li Muchan laughed, shook his head and said: "You heroes of the Longshan Sect, don't you have no courage at all? Then I will really look down on you!"
"Okay, I agree!" A short young man shouted in a deep voice.
The other dozen young men nodded and stared at Li Muchan with burning eyes.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "This is so happy!...Senior Jin, is this not breaking the rules?"
The old man surnamed Jin looked at him deeply: "Brother Li, you have to think about it!"
Li Muchan nodded: "I have made up my mind, please ask Senior Jin to take charge!"
"Okay." The old man surnamed Jin turned to look at the two old men: "Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Bai, how are you doing?"
The round-faced old man Xu said with a smile: "I also want to see Brother Li's true ability."
"Then let's do it, you all come in!" the old man surnamed Jin said angrily.
Everyone knew that Master Jin was angry and felt it was embarrassing for the sect, so they did not dare to say anything. They silently surrounded Li Muchan and drew their weapons, knives or swords.
————
Li Muchan drew his sword and said: "Everyone please come!"
The short young man who spoke earlier said in a deep voice: "Let's stop being polite and take action!"
Liu Biyun pursed her lips tightly and forgot to breathe. Cheng Suzhen chuckled and said: "Girl, don't be so nervous. Uncle Jin is watching, nothing will happen."
Liu Biyun shook his head: "Master, eldest brother will not be defeated."
"You have such a strong tone, girl!" Cheng Suzhen smiled and shook her head: "They are not wooden stakes. No matter how fast the sword is..."
She stopped suddenly and looked at the scene blankly.
Li Muchan had returned the sword to its sheath, smiled and clasped his fists: "Senior Jin."
The old man surnamed Jin looked solemn and said slowly: "Brother Li wins! ... I will send the money over in the evening. Can you trust us old guy?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "That's natural, I'll give in to you all!"
"Brother Li's swordsmanship is so powerful, not bad!" The round-faced old man named Xu chuckled and glanced at the young people: "These little guys are really disappointing. Our Longshan Sect is not as good as the last generation!"
"Okay, Junior Brother Xu, please stop saying a few words!" the old man surnamed Jin hummed.
The old man surnamed Xu smiled and said: "Senior Brother Jin, are you afraid that they won't be able to withstand this blow?... If they can't bear this little setback, I think it's better to hit a wall and die!"
"I can't blame them." The old man surnamed Jin shook his head: "Brother Li's sword is too fast, let's go."
The clear old man surnamed Bai sighed and said warmly: "Know your shame and then be brave. You go back and practice hard. Whenever you feel slack, just think about today!"
"Yes, Master Bai!" Everyone agreed in a low voice and turned around to leave. They really didn't have the face to see anyone.
Everyone watching the battle dispersed and remained silent. The martial arts training ground was extremely depressing. Liu Biyun was filled with excitement but suppressed it. Seeing Li Muchan sweep through all the brothers and sisters with one sword, she was even happier than she had won.
Cheng Suzhen looked at Li Muchan, shook her head, glanced at Liu Biyun who was smiling happily, turned around and walked out, and Li Muchan hurriedly followed.
After the three of them returned to the house, Cheng Suzhen sat on the low couch and pointed at Li Muchan with her slender finger: "You are really brave, are you trying to attract a real master?"
"Yes." Li Muchan sat on the embroidered pier, took the tea cup from Liu Biyun, and smiled: "I think I can give Biyun some face."
Liu Biyun chuckled and said, "You've beaten them badly this time. Let me see who refuses to accept it!"
Cheng Suzhen said with a smile: "It's time to come here for a while, my son's roots are finally clean! ... But don't be careless when watching the sea, there will be powerful people next time."
"What are they? How about seniors telling me about them?" Li Muchan said with a smile.
Cheng Suzhen waved her hand: "Let the girl speak... you should declare a challenge first, so as not to lose all your money!"
Liu Biyun said hurriedly: "That's right, I think the eldest brother will write a letter of challenge to Senior Brother Jing!"
Cheng Suzhen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Well, if you can defeat Xiaojing, the fourth generation disciple will be considered invincible. Xiaojing is a powerful person and can be ruthless. You have to be smart about Guanhai!"
ps: There is only one update today, I will make up for it tomorrow.
