"Who is that? He looks very impressive." Miss Xia said.
"Also, he calls you senior brother. Is he also from Zhejian Villa?"
"No, that is the young master of the Huangpu family, Huangpu Zhuo. The four major families are connected by the same spirit and call each other the elder and the younger."
"Haha, it doesn't look like he's easy to take care of."
"Haha, this little brother is more like the young master of a martial arts family than a young master." Xie Cangxing said.
"When he spoke, he had a stern expression on his face, as if someone owed him a hundred and eighty taels of silver. It was really uncomfortable," Miss Xia said.
"Don't be rude, Miss Xia."
"Yes, what happened to the mutton-fat white jade pendant from last time?"
"This." Lin Xiao said.
"What's wrong with you?" Murong whispered.
"I liked that jade pendant very much, but I was afraid it would get damaged, so I kept it at home without taking it out," Lin Xiao said.
"It's not a diluted treasure. If it's broken, I'll give you another piece."
"Thank you, Brother Huangpu, for your generosity. The jade pendant is indeed broken." Lin Xiao said.
"Well, that jade pendant."
"Brother Huangpu, I accidentally broke the jade pendant."
"But the jade pendant is a trivial matter, but your temper is really serious." Huangpu Zhuo said.
'Hey, that means I'm not angry anymore.'
"If I am worried about how to get along with you, I will give you a piece of cake later. You are not a martial artist. You have been tired all the way. Go to bed early. I will go to the guest room first."
"Let's talk when we have free time. Junior Brother Jiang, take me to the guest room."
"Young Master Lin, do you want to go too?" Jiang Cheng said.
"We'll go there by ourselves later. You can take Brother Huangpu there first," Lin Xiao said.
"Um."
"Young Master Huangpu, please come this way." Jiang Cheng said.
"Let me guess." Murong said, "Did you two break Young Master Lin's jade pendant?"
"Haha, Miss Mu guessed right. After all, we agreed to break up the gang when we arrived at Zhejian Villa. I can leave now," Xie Cangxing said.
"Since you two have escorted me to Broken Sword Villa, the matter of the jade pendant has been naturally written off. If you two and Miss Murong want to play here, you can come with me to the Villa to stay for a few days." Lin Xiao said.
"Live, of course I will live, food, accommodation and fights are all included."
"Well, it's not good to live and eat for free."
"We are all friends with the young master, so what does it matter if we get a little light?"
"I knew you said that."
"Miss Xia, you don't need to think too much, you two are my companions, it's natural," Lin Xiao said.
"I have a few friends here. I would like to find time to visit them. I can live in an inn with more freedom, but I will participate in the sword tasting competition," Murong Lan said.
"Sister Mu is so powerful, there must be no problem."
"Then I'll say goodbye. Sister, if you have time, you can come to the inn to see me."
"Okay, I will definitely go." Miss Xia said.
"Let's go to the villa." Lin Xiao said.
"Every guest's daily diet must be carefully arranged. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Mr. Ouyang Bin or me."
"There are many more guests this year than in previous years. Please enjoy your snacks."
"Yes, Miss Second."
‘Everyone, let’s go do something.’ The second lady said.
"Elder brother, is there anything else?"
Xiao Changfeng: "Junior sister, you have been very busy these days. Don't tell me that you are exhausted. If you fall ill, not only Master, but I will also be worried."
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I will pay attention and not let anyone worry about me. You have to rest after a busy day. I will receive the guests."
"Oh, it's Young Master Lin."
"Long time no see, Ouyang
Miss."
"Mr. Ouyang just said that you are here. I still don't believe it. You haven't been to Zhejian Villa for many years. Where are your uncles?" Ouyang said.
"Ouyang Shibo was elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance this year. The Lin family should come to congratulate him. My father and uncle will arrive in a few days. I left a few days in advance, so I arrived earlier." Lin Xiao said.
"Who are these?"
"These two are my friends who came to the sword tasting competition with me."
"Hello, my name is Xia."
"Girl, just call me Xie Cangxing."
"How do you two? You don't have to be restrained in the house. If you have something to do, just change the servants." The second lady said.
"No need, I'm not used to being served by others, I can just do it myself."
"Both of you are guests, so you're welcome."
"All right."
"Haha, it's not good to be taken care of by someone. Thank you very much, I won't be polite." Xie Cangxing said.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, hasn't the disciple who went to the Lin Mansion returned?"
"Most of the disciples in Guizhuang are with my father. The only one with me is Brother Jiang." Lin Xiao said.
"Oh, Fourth Senior Brother, have you come back with me?"
"Brother Jiang should be one step ahead of us, haven't you met him?" Lin Xiao said.
"I just came here, I'm afraid I missed it," the second lady said.
"Brother Jiang, let's talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here. I mentioned you to the second lady just now." Lin Xiao said.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you are back." Second Miss said.
"Yes, Miss Second."
"It's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work."
"Second Miss, you are serious about your words. I will definitely do my best to complete what Master has told me." Jiang Cheng said.
"There were many turmoils along the way, but thanks to Brother Jiang, we managed to turn them into good fortunes."
"Was the road rough? Have you ever been injured?" the second lady said.
'No, Miss Second, don't worry.'
"Mr. Lin, I remember that you like to be quiet, so I arranged the innermost room for you." Second Miss: "I think the girl and this guest's room should be arranged in the adjacent room. I don't know if this is appropriate."
"Thank you, Miss Second."
"It would be nice to have a place to live, thank you."
"I can eat and live for free again, young master. There are indeed many benefits to following you. By the way, I have an ancient book on refining that was given to me by a friend. Are you interested?" Xie Cangxing said.
"Of course I hope I can take a look."
"Then take it. I'm a little tired from the long journey, so I'm going to bed first." Xie Cangxing said.
'Miss Xia, let's go back and rest.'
"Miss Ouyang, see you tomorrow. Brother Jiang, we are leaving first," Lin Xiao said.
"Fourth Senior Brother."
'When I went to Mingzhou, the temple fair was very lively. I bought this for you at the temple fair. I think it suits you very well.'
"Thank you, I like it very much."
"There are a lot more people attending the conference this year. If you have anything to do, just ask me or other disciples to do it."
"I'm just talking, but you should take good care of yourself outside."
"Well, I'm going to take a rest first."
"Fourth Senior Brother, there are some winter coats in your room. You go back and try them on. If they don't fit, tell me." The second lady said.
"Um."
"Master, the apprentice is back."
"Thank you for your hard work, where is Master Lin?"
"I was ordered by Master Lin to escort Young Master Lin out a few days earlier, so I arrived first. The other disciples went with Master Lin, and they will arrive in a few days," Jiang Cheng said.
Master Ouyang said: "Oh, Lin Xiao?"
'Yes.'
"I think I haven't seen him for a few years. Will you have a smooth journey?" Master Ouyang said.
"Fortunately, I just passed through Qianfengling and encountered bandits. Thanks to everyone working together, no harm was done. The disciple learned from a nearby village that this group of bandits often robs boiler merchants. Although no one was killed, it still caused a lot of damage.
People nearby are terrified
install."
Jiang Cheng said: "Since we don't have enough manpower and we have to protect the safety of the young master, we dare not act rashly. Now that the young master has been safely delivered to the villa, my disciples are requested to take him in to clear out the bandits."
"It's good that you are very thoughtful. There are still a few days before the meeting. If you yell, I will ask Changfeng to bring a few more disciples to deal with this matter."
"But, Master, the bandit leader is not weak in martial arts and does not seem to be an unreasonable person. After losing the martial arts competition with his disciples, he allowed us to pass as agreed."
Jiang Cheng said, "Let me go with you. Maybe I can persuade him."
"I will ask Changfeng to pay attention, but you are not doing enough because you will be soft-hearted to the gangsters and forget the difference between good and evil." Ouyang said.
"Also, the sword tasting competition will start in the next few days. You have to recharge your batteries these days. I am looking forward to your performance."
'Yes, Master.'
The next day.
Ah, I had such a comfortable sleep this time. If there hadn't been such a sword competition, I would have wanted to take it several times.
But since you are here, make peace with yourself and go to the villa to have a look.
At this time, we are in an arena.
"Oh, there are people competing in the ring."
Miss Xia is also watching the fun.
"Can you do the one in yellow? I'll beat you with a long sword and you'll be strewn with teeth."
"I, the one in blue, have put all my money on you, so don't lose."
‘Hurry up.’
‘Yeah, give her another punch.’ The crowd watching was also very lively.
"You sword wielder, come on, raise your hand and stab."
"Oh, you are so stupid." Miss Xia said.
'Flawless girl.'
"Don't talk to me, I'm busy." Miss Xia said.
"It's really amazing. I lost, and I'm convinced."
"I won, give me money, give me money."
'Too bad I thought I was good at wielding two swords.'
"Yes, the offensive was strong at the beginning, but I didn't expect that it would be weak later on."
"Haha, I made a profit."
The onlookers who won the game left happily, while those who lost also left dejectedly.
"Hmm? When did you come?"
Miss Xia said.
"I've been here for a long time." Lin Xiao said.
'This stall is run by a big guy. It was very busy when I came here, and then he said halfway that he wanted to go shopping, so I made two bankers.'
"Let's not talk about this anymore and let's go see Sister Mu, please."
"Okay." Lin Xiao said.
It seems that we have won a lot.
"Miss Xia, be careful not to steal money from others."
"Haha, I've learned some common sense along the way, so I can rest assured that I won't throw it away."
"Haha." Lin Xiao said.
Inn.
"Shopkeeper, do you know where Feige's delicacies can be sold in Zhejian Villa?"
"Girl, you asked the right question. Our Yangchun Inn is dedicated to serving all young heroes and heroines. How could we not have Fei Ge's delicacies, which are essential for martial arts contacts?"
"Speaking of which, last night I heard a bird chirping from upstairs. I have never heard such a beautiful chirping before. It must be your favorite bird, girl," the shopkeeper said.
"Shopkeeper, you also know that flying pigeons are common in the world. They are probably other people's birds."
'Sister Mu.'
"Oh, it's you."
"There was thunder at the villa just now. The big guy and I won a lot of money. I'll treat you to dinner."
"Oh, I'll bet a few times if I get there early."
"Miss Mu has a great stay at the inn. If necessary, you can come to the villa at any time."
"Thank you, Master Lin, for your kindness. I live here very well, so I won't bother you." Murong said.
"Hey, let's not stand and talk. Let's sit down and order. The shopkeeper will come and say hello." Miss Xia said.
"Oh, the wine here is also good. Although it is strong enough, it is not as good as what I drank last time."
“It’s freezing here and residents drink
Mostly just to warm up, so I don’t care about the smell of alcohol.”
"The Shuanghuachun brewed by Zhejian Villa is said to be a first-class liquor. If Miss Xia is interested, could you please invite Miss Ouyang to try it out later?" Lin Xiao said.
"Oh, but I won't bother you."
"Then I'll come forward and ask the second lady for it, as a token of my gratitude for this meal."
'The eldest young master said so, and he was stingy even if he postponed it.'
'Thank you then.'
"You are welcome."
When you return to the villa later, ask the second lady for a jar. I drank a little of this kind of strong liquor when I was a child and got drunk for a long time. I don't know what Miss Xia thinks is good.
"Speaking of which, girl, where are you from? It doesn't sound like you are from Mingzhou City."
'I don't know either. I heard from my father that our village disappeared after the earthquake 16 years ago.'
"I heard that there was a big earthquake that destroyed many towns?"
"Later, my father took me to wander around. After he passed away, I didn't know where my hometown was."
"I'm sorry to remind you of sad things." Lin Xiao said.
"It's been many years, nothing happened."
"My father was also an orphan and didn't even know his own surname. Later, when he married my mother, he asked her to give me a name. As a result, my mother died in childbirth and she didn't have time to give me a name." Miss Xia said.
"The word "Xian" was given to me by my father because the girl's name was Wuxia."
"I see. The last time I said your name was wrong, I just said it casually without even knowing it. I'm really sorry."
"It's nothing, you didn't mean to do it. Let's eat. These dishes are really delicious."
after awhile.
"Well, I'm full."
"The cooks here are very good at their craftsmanship."
"I have to thank you, sister, for the treat this time." Murong said.
"Hehe, if I win money again in a few days, I will come over and treat you to a meal," Miss Xia said happily.
"Waiter, check out."
'Objectively, your table of dishes costs a total of two taels of silver.'
"Huh?" Miss Xia searched her body.
"Ah, the money bag is gone."
‘Ah?’ Murong said.
"You are such a crow-mouthed person. You just said you would encounter thieves, but now you are gone." Miss Xia became anxious.
"Don't worry, sister, maybe we're on the original road."
"I'll also help you look for it."
"Sir, you haven't settled the bill yet."
"It's okay, I'll pay the bill." Lin Xiao said.
After leaving the hotel, Lin Xiao planned to find Miss Xia and Miss Murong.
