Liu Menghu led Mo Shangqiu and the others to stand behind them, not daring to disturb them. One of the men kneeling at the man's feet stood up and handed a bowl of bright red blood to the man. The man walked to the altar and poured the blood into the bonfire. His movements were swift and unrestrained without any hesitation.
After a while, they completed the ritual and turned to look at Mo Shangqiu and the others in the distance. They immediately became alert and prepared to attack Mo Shangqiu and the others. In their eyes, they would not show mercy to uninvited guests.
The worshippers looked at each other and stepped forward, raising their weapons and preparing to attack. "I, Liu Menghu, came uninvited. I hope that all swordmasters will forgive me.”
At this moment, Liu Menghu was quick-witted and quickly went forward to explain. He had not fully recovered from the battle with the bear last night. If he were to play chess today, he would probably lose.
The red-haired man walked to the front and glanced at Liu Menghu. He didn't expect them to come so quickly and actually walk out of that maze. "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar.”
"Swordmaster!" The people who were offering sacrifices to the heavens immediately became nervous. It had been many years since there had been outsiders in Fire Dragon Valley. With one look, he knew that these people today were not good people. Why did he still want them to stay in the valley? The swordmasters 'worries and uneasiness were all seen by the person they called the swordmaster. He gave them a reassuring look and ignored them.
Although those who dared to trespass into Fire Dragon Valley could not be underestimated, the people of Fire Dragon Valley were not to be trifled with either. If he wanted to do bad things under their noses, he would need to have some courage. Putting aside how tight the security of Sword Crafting City was, there was a sentry every five steps.
The Sword Pavilion was not easily found and could be safely entered. Just the temperature inside was enough to kill people. If they went in without any precautions, they would only be courting death.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Swordmaster. We didn't mean to disturb you.”Liu Menghu was here to look for the sword, but he actually found a dignified reason to say that he did it unintentionally. Who would carelessly disregard their lives and barge into the mysterious Swordforge City?
Everyone was well aware of this, and even Swordmaster revealed an ambiguous smile. He knew why they had come, but he did not say anything." Since all the brave warriors have come to my humble abode, please rest for a while and wait for Wu Yuan to return.”
"Thank you for your good intentions, Swordmaster." Liu Menghu bowed slightly, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Jian Lin, bring the warriors to rest.”Wu Yuan instructed his subordinates to bring Mo Shangqiu and the others to rest. The man who had handed Wu Yuan the blood bowl during the worship ceremony just now retreated in response. He left with Mo Shangqiu and the others.
"Swordmaster!" A man who looked somewhat similar to the Sword Master who had just left stood up and called out to Wu Yuan softly as he watched Mo Shangqiu leave.
"It's fine, the valley hasn't been so lively for a long time.”Wu Yuan waved his hand, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes.
Mo Shangqiu returned to her room to rest after finishing her lunch, feeling at ease. She entered the empty castle. Along the way, he admired all kinds of flowers and sighed in his heart that Swordmaster was actually a person who liked to do things. He had thought that the temperature in the castle was no different from the temperature at the bottom of the valley. He did not expect that Mo Shangqiu would still feel a little hot when she walked back to her room.
Liu Menghu and the others were arranged to rest in a courtyard. As the room was already full, Mo Shangqiu, Ye Wushang, and Mu Chuxue went to another courtyard. They had forced themselves to hold on, and now they could finally rest.
When Mo Shangqiu woke up, the sky was already filled with stars. She rubbed her muddled eyes, opened the door, and walked out. Looking at the stars in the sky, he was in a rare good mood. He took a deep breath and enjoyed the quiet night.
The red-haired man on the roof curled his lips into a mesmerizing smile as he looked tenderly at Mo Shangqiu under the starry sky. It had been so many years since the valley had seen such a straightforward girl. Although she did not have a beautiful appearance, she could still be called a peerless beauty.
Wu Yuan naturally wasn't interested in ordinary women since he had to face a demon-like woman every day. It was just that she did not know if he would still be able to remain calm when he saw Mo Shangqiu's face under the mask.
Unknowingly, Mo Shangqiu seemed to have forgotten her true appearance and was used to walking the world with a fake mask. Wu Yuan raised the wine glass in his hand elegantly and flicked the wine glass towards Mo Shangqiu, who had her back facing him.
The speed was so fast that it left one speechless. Mo Shangqiu felt a cold wind blow from behind her. She jumped up into the air with the tip of her toes and turned around beautifully to catch the wine glass that was flying towards her. The wine in the glass was still intact. Mo Shangqiu raised her head and looked at Wu Yuan, who was sitting on the roof. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
"Do you want to come up and have a drink?" It wasn't a question, but an affirmation. Wu Yuan didn't know where he got the courage to conclude that Mo Shangqiu would accompany him for a drink.
Mo Shangqiu looked at Wu Yuan's sincere smile and lightly jumped onto the roof with the tip of her toes.
The light of the moon stretched the two figures long, and the breeze blew their black and red hair. Hair strands of different colors were tangled together and fused into the painting.
"What's your name?" She was no longer as enchanting and undisciplined as she was during the day, and there was a faint sadness in her bones. His entire body was emitting a sorrowful aura, making people unable to help but pry into his thoughts and comfort him.
Mo Shangqiu's gaze drifted into the distance, missing that touch of quick-witted light. She said in a daze," Mo Xi."
Wu Yuan turned his head to look at Mo Shangqiu and realized that her emotions were drifting away. He muttered to himself," Mo Xi, a very elegant name.”
Wu Yuan's voice pulled back Mo Shangqiu's drifting thoughts. She turned her head and met Wu Yuan's calm eyes. Mo Shangqiu's small face flashed with a hint of doubt. When she finally reacted, she realized that she had just reported her name from her previous life.
"Uh, my name is Mo Shangqiu. That was my name many years ago.”Mo Shangqiu was rather embarrassed, not knowing where to place his hands and feet. Ordinary people would be nervous to death when they met Wu Yuan. It was already extraordinary that Mo Shangqiu could sit down and drink with him.
Wu Yuan's impression of her had increased by quite a bit. No matter how beautiful things were, she could still remain calm. Wu Yuan's composure was not bad. The corners of his mouth curled up a little. Coupled with her demon-like appearance, she looked even more mesmerizing under the moonlight. People. Mo Shangqiu coughed lightly as she retracted her gaze.
He picked up his wine glass and drank a cup of wine. Spicy, a choking sensation assaulted his nose. Mo Shangqiu frowned slightly. It was obvious that she had never drunk such a strong wine before. The breeze blew past, and under the moonlight, Mo Shangqiu's cheeks were slightly flushed. Feeling a little drunk, Mo Shangqiu's eyes became blurry.
"What are you here for?”Although Wu Yuan knew their purpose, he did not know why he blurted out the question in his heart at this moment. Unknowingly, Wu Yuan was also slightly drunk.
"Yes." Mo Shangqiu turned her head, her face slightly red and her eyes blurred. There was a rare charm in his bones. Mei was deeply attracted to Wu Yuan, and she was unable to extricate herself from her gentle eyes.
"They came looking for a sword, but I came looking for a sword that is related to my life.”A gentle breeze blew past, and Mo Shangqiu was already 70% sober. She still knew what she was talking about. Wu Yuan was not disappointed. The answer was exactly as he had imagined.
It was just that Mo Shangqiu's answer made him fall into a short contemplation. A sword that was closely related to life. Just what kind of sword was it? Sword Crafting City had forged countless swords. Perhaps he could bring Mo Shangqiu and the others to take a look. Wu Yuan raised his eyes and filled Mo Shangqiu's glass with wine.
"I wish you will find the sword of your destiny soon.”Wu Yuan raised his wine glass and sincerely wished Mo Shangqiu well. Mo Shangqiu also imitated him by raising his wine glass and clinking it. Drinking together under the moon, the 30% drunkenness that he had just felt after drinking this cup of wine no longer existed.
Mo Shangqiu stood up shakily and turned to Wu Yuan with a smile. "It's getting late. I'm going back to rest.”
Just as she was about to take a step forward, she slipped and fell down the room. Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with panic. He quickly hugged Mo Shangqiu and flew down from the roof. Mo Shangqiu felt a wave of dizziness when she was in the air. She wrapped her arms around Wu Yuan's waist.
Wu Yuan was stunned. He did not dare to look down at Mo Shangqiu. She swallowed her saliva awkwardly and swallowed her saliva. Her flustered eyes revealed the momentary loss of composure that Mo Shangqiu had brought to Wu Yuan.
When they landed safely, Wu Yuan wanted to let go of Mo Shangqiu, but when he looked down, he realized that her eyes were tightly shut. With the sound of even breathing and a serene face, Mo Shangqiu actually fell asleep in a short moment. Mo Shangqiu, who had no alcohol tolerance to speak of, actually drank so much with Wu Yuan on the rooftop.
Wu Yuan opened the door and gently placed Mo Shangqiu on the bed, covering her with a blanket before turning around to leave. Before he left, he took a deep look at Mo Shangqiu, as if he wanted to engrave Mo Shangqiu's face in his heart.
The smile on his face was completely hidden after he left the room. His face was completely different from the one in the daytime. On the roof where Mo Shangqiu and Wu Yuan had been drinking, a man in white stood watching as Wu Yuan walked out of the courtyard.
His eyes were slightly angry, and his entire body emitted a cold aura. His tightly clenched hands hidden under his wide sleeves revealed his anger. He stood on the roof for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before disappearing from the roof in a flash.
Mo Shangqiu's eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed. From time to time, he would mutter to himself. However, the person in front of the bed could not hear what she was shouting. After staying in the room for two hours, the person left. Just like before, the mysterious figure disappeared from the room.
The next day, Mo Shangqiu woke up. Her throat was extremely hoarse and there was a slight pain. His head was dizzy and he couldn't exert any strength. She could only stay in her room and not go out. Ye Wushang had come to see her a few times in between. After chatting for a while, they left. At noon, Wu Yuan brought some dishes to visit Mo Shangqiu. Moreover, he was eating at the same table as Mo Shangqiu. The servants looked at Mo Shangqiu with strange expressions.
Mo Shangqiu suddenly looked up and met Wu Yuan's eyes." Is there something on my face?"”
Wu Yuan glanced at her and honestly replied that it was nothing. Mo Shangqiu ate lunch in an extremely depressed mood the entire afternoon. She only left her room to look for Mu Chuxue when she felt better in the afternoon.
Liu Menghu and the others had not even seen Wu Yuan's shadow these days, let alone talk to Wu Yuan about the sword. After five consecutive days, Wu Yuan finally invited Liu Menghu, Mo Shangqiu, and the others to inquire about their business in Sword Crafting City.
Liu Menghu directly stated that he was here to find a good sword. He had heard that Sword Crafting City had forged many high-quality weapons. The smile on Wu Yuan's face was bright, but killing intent rose in his heart. If everyone came to snatch the good swords just because they heard that there were good swords in Sword Crafting City, then Sword Crafting City would become a place where they could come and go as they pleased.
