Mei Songwan glanced at Mei Ruolan: "Ruolan, don't make trouble!"
Mei Ruolan smiled and said, "Auntie, you are mistaken!"
"I didn't know you——!" Mei Songwan pursed her lips and smiled.
The two women were chatting and laughing, and Mei Ruolan changed from her usual calmness and aloofness to become more lively and more like an ordinary girl, no longer aloof.
Such a contrast is very strange, as if the immortals have fallen to the mortal world and can get close to each other.
Although Mei Songwan was joking, she was still elegant and dignified, and her demeanor was excellent.
She is not very beautiful, but after getting along with her, her every move, every glance, every raise of her hand, every frown, is all charming.
With such charm, even women Xiao Yuan and Gong Qingyun were fascinated by it, and their eyes could not leave for a moment.
Sitting among the four women, Li Muchan had a smile on his face and a calm expression, not showing any embarrassment.
After joking for a while, Mei Ruolan took her leave.
The four of them left Mei Songwan's pavilion, with Mei Ruolan walking in front, and Li Muchan and three others following behind her.
She suddenly stopped, turned around and ordered: "Xiaoyuan, Qingyun, you go back first, I have something to say with Zhanran."
The two of them responded, glanced at Li Muchan, and walked away.
Mei Ruolan walked along the lakeside, silently, and Li Muchan walked side by side, also looking at the clear lake surface, her heart was clear and she had no thoughts or worries.
The breeze swept across the lake, stirring the willow branches, making them look like mist and smoke.
Mei Ruolan stopped, brushed her hair away from her temples, and turned to look over: "Zhanran, you are profound in Buddhism. It's really aggrieved for you to be by my side."
Li Muchan smiled slightly: "Repaying a favor is a matter of course... Miss taught me the magical power of indestructibility, how can I just walk away?"
Mei Ruolan pursed her lips slightly and looked at him: "You really want to break away!"
Li Muchan just smiled and did not refute.
When he killed Fang Shaohua and was punished afterwards, if he wanted to leave, he could just leave. With the Snow Seal Divine Nun around, the Mei Mansion would not dare to embarrass him.
Mei Ruolan was very smart and forced him to face the wall. At the beginning, she happily taught him the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility and used kindness as a rope to tie him up.
He admired Mei Ruolan very much. Because of this, she had both skill and heart. Such a person could be said to be the most powerful woman among women.
Mei Ruolan said: "Whenever you want to leave, just let me know. I will never force you."
"Thank you, Miss." Li Muchan tithes.
This is a great gift. Even if his heart is as calm as water, he can only be grateful. A scholar dies for his confidant. Ordinary people would have given up long ago after receiving these tricks.
He sighed secretly, knowing that it was her trick, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only repay her. This was her strength, the so-called conspiracy.
"Auntie..." Mei Ruolan sighed.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I didn't expect the third girl to be so young."
Mei Ruolan raised her head and looked at Minghu Lake in the distance, sighing and saying: "My aunt was originally married to the Penglai Wang family, but six years ago, that man passed away, and the girl became a lonely one."
Li Muchan nodded. He had heard his eldest brother say it before. However, because Mei Songwan was usually low-key and ignored secular affairs, even people from the Mei family rarely saw her. The eldest brother was vague and only mentioned a few words.
Mei Ruolan said: "Our Mei Mansion can remain standing, do you know why?"
Li Muchan shook his head.
"Because of the Penglai Wang family!" Mei Ruolan curled her lips as if to sneer.
"Penglai Wang Family?" Li Muchan nodded thoughtfully.
Although Mei Mansion is one of the top aristocratic families in Jinyang City, Jinyang City is just an ordinary small town.
Mei Ruolan said coldly: "Everything in the world is dominated by the weak and the strong. Without the protection of the Penglai Royal Family, the Mei Mansion would have been swallowed up long ago!"
"The weak will eat the strong, and the fittest will survive." Li Muchan nodded.
Mei Ruolan said: "All this is because of my aunt. Without my aunt, without the Penglai Wang family, the Mei Mansion would have lost its protection, and its destruction would be just a snap of the finger!"
Li Muchan nodded solemnly, the world has its own laws, which are cruel and ruthless.
Mei Ruolan said: "For the Mei family, my aunt is destined to be lonely in this life and cannot marry again in her life."
Li Muchan sighed. It was cruel for a beautiful woman like a flower to be alone for the rest of her life. He felt faintly uncomfortable and felt pity for her.
Mei Ruolan suddenly turned her head and stared at him: "I hope, Zhanran, you can enlighten my aunt well. I hope that the Buddha's teachings can make my aunt feel better."
"I'll do my best!" Li Muchan nodded slowly.
Mei Ruolan said: "Although you are a man, as a monk, you don't have to avoid the distinction between men and women."
Li Muchan frowned, understanding the implication of her words, and said: "Miss, you are worrying too much, I will abide by my duty!"
Mei Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, looked at him with approval on her face.
"Ten days later, I will escort you to Fengming City. You must be prepared for this dangerous trip!" She said that and walked away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Watching her disappear, Li Muchan shook his head and sighed, it doesn't matter if she is as beautiful as a flower, Bingxue is smart, as smart as Bingxue, it can destroy people's enthusiasm!
In the evening, Li Muchan left Qiyuan and came to Tianjiyuan.
Tianjiyuan is located in a willow forest. The stone lions on both sides of the gate are majestic and majestic. There are also two guards, standing like javelins, with restrained energy.
Li Muchan knew at a glance that they were practicing a kind of pile skill, which was also an internal force method. Although the effect was not as good as meditation, it was better than not practicing at all.
He went straight in, and the two of them looked up without stopping him.
As soon as you enter, you will find a spacious martial arts training ground. The floor is paved with blue bricks, clean but uneven. Swords and footprints leave traces of martial arts everywhere.
Under the setting sun, a group of people gathered together and cheered endlessly.
Li Muchan glanced around and saw that there were about forty or fifty people there, almost all of them in Tianjiyuan, but Li Jianjian was nowhere to be seen.
He stepped forward and walked in, gently pushing the things in front of him with his hands. Everyone looked back angrily, and when they saw it was him, they remained silent and did not dare to say anything.
Walking all the way to the circle, about three feet away, Li Jian was fighting with a skinny young man.
Both of them were dressed in black satin, their wrists and ankles were tied up, and they were high-spirited. They were glaring at each other and slowly circling, each holding a wooden sword.
This wooden sword is specially used for practice to avoid injuries during sparring.
However, Tianshu Academy did not have wooden swords. When they sparred, they used real swords and spears, not wooden swords.
Li Jian had a pair of small and slender eyes, staring at the other person solemnly. He had a thin young man with an oval face, slightly pale, as if he had lost too much blood, and his narrow eyes were slightly narrowed with disdain on his face.
He chuckled: "If you can take my three moves, Junior Brother Li, you will make great progress!"
Li Jian walked slowly in a circle and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Xiong is so complimentary!"
The skinny young man said with a smile: "You and Tianshu Zhanran are good friends, but your qualifications are very different. What a pity! What a pity!"
Li Jian's face was expressionless and unmoved, his eyes were bright and he kept walking.
The skinny young man laughed and said: "Junior Brother Li, if I defeat you, Tianshu Zhanran will not trouble me, haha!"
"Haha..." Everyone around laughed.
People sympathized with the weak. Li Muchan rose like a comet, swept through the Seven Courts, and deposed Zhang Ganxuan. They were vaguely hostile.
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you!" Li Muchan said slowly.
His voice was like a spring breeze, slowly drifting and reaching everyone's ears.
People made a "buzz" sound and turned their heads to look.
Li Muchan wore a gray monk's robe and stood among the crowd, standing out like a chicken among the crowd.
Everyone around him hurriedly backed away, like avoiding snakes and scorpions. In the blink of an eye, there was no one within a foot around him.
"Tianshu Zhanran!" The skinny young man spat out each word, his face as dark as water.
Li Muchan Heshi smiled at everyone: "I am Zhanran."
"What are you going to do?!" the skinny young man said coldly, sneering: "Could it be that you have come to my Tianji Courtyard again to show your prestige and teach someone a lesson?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "If I come to see my friend, it won't interfere with Senior Brother Liu's business, right?"
"Senior Brother Zhanran, please come into the room!" A long-faced young man stood up, cupping his fists and smiling.
"Junior Brother Zhao, it's okay. I want to talk to Li Jian for a few words." Li Muchan smiled and said, "Li Jian, follow me."
"This..." Li Jian looked at the thin young man opposite.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liu will agree, right?"
The thin young man had a sullen face, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Li Muchan with cold eyes.
Li Muchan looked at him with a smile.
After a while, the skinny young man sneered and waved his hand: "Go!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away. The crowd quickly separated and he left the martial arts field in a blink of an eye.
The two of them walked along the lake.
The bright lake is like a mirror, with willow branches leaning on it.
Li Muchan broke off a section of willow branch, waved it gently, and said with a wry smile: "Li Jian, I've got you in trouble!"
"That's the opposite, you're the one protecting me!" Li Jian shook his head and said with a smile: "New disciples who come in will be bullied. It's an old rule!"
"That's it!" Li Muchan laughed.
When he first entered Tianshu Academy, Zhao Yuzhen and the other four were very nice to him. Instead of bullying him, they took great care of him and protected him like brothers.
This is not normal. Tianshu Academy is inherently strange, and it is normal to be like Tianji Academy.
"Without your protection, it would be even worse!" Li Jian shook his head.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "In the final analysis, your own martial arts is the most important."
"Yes, in the final analysis, fists are the principle, it all depends on who has good martial arts skills!" Li Jian deeply agreed.
Li Muchan said: "Having said that, the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation. Don't rush to learn the moves!"
Li Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords are too crude, so you can only get beaten!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "The moves are dead, but the person is alive. I only learned two sets of swordsmanship before facing the wall, one set of Twelve Plum Blossom Swords and one set of Shadowless Sword."
Li Jian nodded: "I heard... everyone is very curious and want to find out why you are so powerful... you are so powerful and can draw your sword so fast that no one else can imitate it."
"...You come with me." Li Muchan pondered for a moment and changed direction.
The two of them arrived at Tianshu Courtyard.
Zhao Yuzhen held the sword and sat cross-legged under the locust tree, motionless.
Seeing them coming in, he opened his eyes and nodded.
Li Muchan said together: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, they are back, please don't disturb me."
"Yeah." Zhao Yuzhen nodded.
Li Muchan asked Li Jian to enter the room and pointed to the bed: "Sit on it!"
"Mu Chan, what are you going to do?" Li Jian was confused, took off his shoes, went to the couch, and sat down cross-legged.
Li Muchan took off his shoes and went to the couch, sat behind him, put his palms on his vest: "I have a way to greatly increase your strength."
"Really?!" Li Jian asked hurriedly.
He was extremely envious of Li Muchan's supernatural power.
"I don't know if it can be done, let's give it a try." Li Muchan said, slowly closing his eyes: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't move."
