A drizzle fell in the early morning, washing away the hustle and bustle of last night's big gathering in Xia Yuan City.

Wheels, wheels......

Two horses pulled the cart and slowly drove into the stone alley on one side.

The coachman shook the reins, and the carriage stopped steadily in front of the door of the Water Moon Sword Pavilion, and then, lifting the curtain, a man wearing a robe and a high crown stepped out of the car.

This was a middle-aged man, with a hint of gray in his flowing beard, and returned to his chest with the caress of the other party's palm, and he looked at the signboard of the Water Moon Sword Pavilion.

Then, after straightening his clothes and confirming the invitation in his arms, he walked to the steps in front of him with his legs raised, and gently patted the door in front of him.

Smack, smack!

At the unhurried knock on the door, the middle-aged man took a step back slightly and waited quietly.

A moment later, the door creaked open to one side, revealing the girl standing there.

"Uncle, who are you?"

Hongling addressed each other according to their age.

"The girl is Hongling, right? Jin Luo, the scribe of the Lower City Lord's Mansion, wants to ask to see Mr. Mu! ”

The middle-aged man clenched his fists and said with a smile.

"Brother Mu is having breakfast, uncle, wait a minute!"

Hongling closed the door again as she spoke.

And the scribe of the city lord's mansion was not dissatisfied with such an abrupt move.

First, he could see that the girl was true and not intentional.

Second, he is now here on behalf of Corporal Lixian of the City Lord's Mansion, not to show off his prestige.

"A peak grandmaster who is less than twenty years old hasn't been out for many years!"

Jin Luo stood at the foot of the steps and sighed softly.

Last night. That sudden assassination. With the intervention of the City Lord's Mansion and the Martial Alliance at the same time, it did not cause much panic.

Just after the body was taken away. And the great rally went on.

Even, even more lively.

Because, the city lord's mansion sent the luthiers and musicians in the palace to join the procession of the rally, which made the surrounding civilians who had never seen real singing and dancing dizzy.

Only a few well-intentioned people still paid attention to the assassination.

And, what happened after that assassination-

One of the three young masters of Xia Yuan City, Soul Chasing, died under the sword of the white-clothed swordsman, and it was when the drunken swordsman attacked at the same time.

The other Split Eagle, who also belonged to the three young masters, retreated without a fight.

One news after another reached the ears of the real high-level leaders of Xia Yuan City.

It made them change their attitude towards the white-clothed swordsman who didn't care too much.

A young swordsman who is less than a grandmaster is definitely not the same as a young swordsman who has crossed the threshold of a grandmaster.

What's more, according to the description of the wine swordsman, the white-clothed swordsman has definitely reached the peak of the grandmaster. It is one step away from the true 'transcendent sanctification'.

Moreover, according to the accounts of several eyewitnesses from the previous martial arts challenger, although the white-clothed swordsman had a mature temperament, his face was immature and not big, and he would definitely not be more than twenty years old.

At such an age, reaching such strength, for the several major forces in Xia Yuan City, it is naturally necessary to fight for it.

Especially at this special moment, it is necessary to try to win it into your own camp.

Jin Luo could even imagine that some guys in the Martial Alliance were unable to regret it at the moment.

and the schadenfreude of some of the remaining guys after the desperate co-optation of this white-clothed swordsman.

"Let's fight, let's fight. Only if you lose both of you will have the Lord's chance! ”

A hint of schadenfreude appeared in Jin Luo's expression.

But. As footsteps sounded, the gloom was quickly replaced by a warm smile.

With a creak, the door opened again.

"Uncle, Brother Mu said that when he was eating, he didn't see outsiders!"

Hongling truthfully told the city lord's office clerk in front of him.

I wasn't surprised or upset at all because of the other party's identity.

Because, before, she had just rejected an archdeacon of the Martial Alliance with the same words.

However, unlike the Archdeacon of the Martial Alliance who walked away with his sleeves, the city lord's mansion scribe in front of him did not snort coldly and walked away.

Instead, a smile resurfaced and he arched his hand and said, "Then wait for Mr. Mu to finish eating, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry!" The troublesome girl waited until Mr. Mu finished eating, and then told Mr. Mu! ”

"Oh!"

Looking at the smile on Jin Luo's face, Hongling nodded and closed the door again.

"My lord, this guy is too rude, isn't he? Do you really have to wait? ”

The coachman walked to Jin Luo's side with an umbrella and said indignantly.

"Capable people naturally have tempers, so what will it take to wait?"

Jin Luo looked at the coachman and said with a smile.

"My lord, why don't you go back to the car and wait?"

Raising the umbrella above Jin Luo's head, the coachman said with concern.

"If you don't stand here and wait, how can you show sincerity? You go back to the car first! ”

Jin Luo smiled and waved at the coachman.

However, the coachman insisted on staying.

And this kind of waiting lasted for half an hour, and the smile on Jin Luo's face did not change in the slightest, but the coachman became more and more angry.

His hand unconsciously grasped the long knife at his waist.

I secretly decided in my heart that if that Mr. Mu really had the ability to pay it back, if it was a guy who sold his reputation, he would definitely cut the other party in half.

After waiting for another ten minutes.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open again, and the girl stood inside the door and said apologetically to Jin Luo: "Uncle, Brother Mu said that he didn't see anyone after eating, let you go back!" ”

"Damn, my lord condescended to come to your small martial arts hall, not to mention, you still neglect ...... in every way"

Before Jin Luo could speak, the coachman on one side couldn't help it and shouted loudly.

"Shut up!"

Jin Luo said in a stern tone.

Then, he turned to look at the girl who was a little frightened, and apologized again and again: "Let the girl laugh, my coachman is a reckless man in the army, and he doesn't know how to be polite at all!" Since Mr. Mu doesn't want to see him. Then please give this invitation to Mr. Mu. Thank you here below, girl! ”

"It's fine. Uncle! ”

Hongling took the invitation and waved her hand again and again.

And Jin Luo gave up his hand several times before getting into the carriage and leaving.

After watching the carriage disappear at the mouth of the alley, Hongling closed the door and turned around and walked towards the side of the martial arts arena.

In the drizzle, Dean held an oil-paper umbrella and stood quietly in front of the emerald bamboo, the long sword at his waist seemed to be still.

And on the stone table behind him. The two invitations were placed on top haphazardly, already wet from the rain.

"Brother Mu is an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion!"

As she spoke, Hongling handed the invitation with the gold rim to Dean.

Then, instinctively said: "This uncle is much better than the previous two guys, one hides his head and shows his tail, and the other is domineering, and he doesn't have this uncle's kindness at all!" ”

"Hmm!"

Dean nodded casually, not knowing whether he was perfunctory or listened.

And Hongling didn't care either, she just thought that Jin Luo was good compared to the other two people who sent the invitation, and that's it.

in her heart. The most natural is the person in front of you.

"Brother Mu, what do you want to eat at noon?"

Hongling asked.

"Stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots!"

Dean replied.

"Huh? Do you fry meat with bamboo shoots? I don't know if there are any fresh bamboo shoots in the market at this time! ”

The girl let out an exclamation. I hurriedly picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the porch and ran out.

"You've decided?"

And after the girl left, Mizuki walked out with an umbrella.

Such a judgment was not difficult, two invitations were casually thrown on the table and left to soak in the rain, while one was held in hand.

"Hmm!"

Dean nodded.

"City Lord's Mansion? That's good! Compared to the Heavenly Providence Building, which is itself a killer organization, and the Martial Alliance, which is in internal chaos at the moment, it is a fairly safe choice! Moreover, yesterday's assassination of yours had something to do with the strength of these two families, which was difficult to escape - those two families did not say a word, which shows that they are not sincere! ”

Shui Yue nodded, looking relieved.

"It's not that they don't say a word, but they think that I'm not qualified enough, if I'm 'transcendent' now, they will definitely tell it and get rid of it!"

Dean shook his head.

"If you step into the 'Saint', those guys will definitely take the blame as soon as the incident happens!"

Shui Yue laughed, her voice was faint, but then such a smile was retracted, her eyes looked at the calm and indifferent Dean, and said: "Since you already have a new choice, the chef of the City Lord's Mansion must be better than Hongling, and besides, it will be very comfortable to live there, then Hongling and I can leave with peace of mind!" ”

"You're leaving? Because of your hands? ”

Dean asked, not surprised.

After a few days of getting along, he always felt a sense of twilight in the other party, and it was not surprising that the other party wanted to leave Xia Yuan City.

"Part of the reason! What's more, I found that my original idea was still a bit naïve and ridiculous, and it was difficult to implement it at all! ”

Shui Yue laughed self-deprecatingly.

"What's the idea? Can you sue me? ”

Dean asked.

"Of course, this is not an unsightly thing, although it is a little ridiculous - I hope that women in the world are not weaker than men!"

Shui Yue generously said what he had thought.

However, contrary to Suiyue's expectations, Dean didn't mean to laugh at him.

Instead, he nodded very seriously.

"That's a great idea, and so was a lady I once knew!"

Dean said.

"What happened to her in the end? Is it the same failure as me? ”

Suigetsu asked.

"No, she succeeded, she became the idol of all women in a country, and many women in her wielded the ability to make men jaw-dropping, even outside that country, countless people still respect and worship her, and some women are moving forward with her as their goal!"

Dean spoke slowly.

"Then this must be an amazing woman, but I ......"

Shui Yue admired, and then, looked at his palm gloomily.

"Can you show me your palm?"

Dean said suddenly.
