In the main hall of Juxian Village.
The old man was doing his daily cleaning work. Liu Mingyue had asked him why he didn't leave since there was no one around.
"I'm used to doing this. I'm old and I don't have any relatives at home. I thought that the young master might come back in the future, so I stayed.”
The old man's answer displayed the simplicity of the ancient folk customs.
Liu Mingyue was sitting in the hall drinking tea. When she saw the old man walking in with a broom, she smiled and asked," Uncle, are you going to clean again?"”
"Ah, yes, it won't affect you, right?”the old man asked.
Liu Mingyue put down her teacup and said," It's alright. Uncle, you can continue with your work. Don't worry about me."”
Liu Mingyue had been sitting in the hall for the past few days, and the old man was used to it. This was not the first time they had talked.
One was drinking tea while the other was sweeping the floor. The only sound in the hall was the rustling of the broom touching the floor.
Two people entered the front courtyard. The old man only glanced at them and continued sweeping. It was not the first time he had seen such people in the martial world.
The two of them were a man and a woman. The man was gentle and refined, fresh and handsome, while the woman was otherworldly and beautiful like a fairy. They were Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan.
The two of them entered the hall and looked at the woman who was drinking tea, then at the old man who was sweeping the floor.
The woman could only see Ling Long's back. After weighing the pros and cons, Duan Yu went to the old man." Uncle, may I ask if there's a Hero Assembly here?"”
The old man raised his head and glanced at Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan before saying to Duan Yu," The Heroes Assembly has long been disbanded.”
"What is it? Disbanded? Wasn't it supposed to be the ninth day of the lunar new year? Has my big brother Qiao Feng been here?" Duan Yu was stunned and hurriedly asked.
The old man replied," Qiao Feng? It was because Qiao Feng had come a few days ago and killed many people that the heroes assembly was disbanded.”
Duan Yu asked worriedly," Then where did my big brother go?”
"I don't know." The old man was only a servant in the manor, so he didn't know much. After answering Duan Yu, the old man continued his work.
Duan Yu wanted to ask more, but he could tell that the old man didn't know much, so he was a little discouraged.
Wang Yuyan said softly," Young Master Duan, since your Big Brother Qiao has already left, we should leave quickly. If Jiu Mozhi catches up, we'll be in trouble."”
Duan Yu said with a worried expression," But I don't know how my big brother is doing.”
Wang Yuyan said again," Let's go.”
Now that Qiao Feng's whereabouts were unknown, although Duan Yu was worried, he knew that he couldn't stay here for long. He nodded and was about to leave, but the heavens didn't let him.
A person entered the hall and blocked the two people who were about to leave. This person was Jiu Mozhi. When he saw Jiu Mozhi, Duan Yu hurriedly stood in front of Wang Yuyan.
Jiu Mozhi crossed his arms and said sternly," You little brat, how dare you pretend to be a ghost and get here before me."”
Duan Yu's heart skipped a beat. He felt uneasy, but with a beauty behind him, how could he back down? He pretended to be calm and said," Don't do anything rash."”
"Cut the crap." " What?" Jiu Mozhi roared, scaring the two of them into silence. Jiu Mozhi looked at the empty hall and said angrily," Eh? Why was there no one here? Where were the heroes who came to participate in the heroes assembly?”
Wang Yuyan smiled and said," You're a step too late. The Heroes Assembly has already ended.”
" What?" Jiu Mozhi said angrily. Meeting dismissed? The meeting ended before I, Jiu Mozhi, arrived? Without me, Jiu Mozhi, what kind of heroes assembly is this? Ah?"
"That's right. Without the participation of the Great Wheel Deity, what kind of heroes assembly is this?”
The crisp and melodious voice stunned the three of them. It wasn't just because of the woman, but because she agreed with Jiu Mozhi's words. Even Jiu Mozhi himself was stunned. The three of them hadn't paid much attention to the woman and thought she was the young mistress of the manor, but now they had noticed her.
Duan Yu wanted to play a trick, but when he heard the voice, he looked in the direction of the voice and saw the woman turn around. She was wearing a light yellow dress that outlined her slender and exquisite figure. Her long hair hung behind her, and only a few strands of black hair lay lazily on her shoulders. Her neck revealed her fair skin color, her delicate nose, red lips, and delicate features. Especially her big black eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
"So beautiful." Duan Yu blurted out subconsciously.
Wang Yuyan looked at the woman with a puzzled expression, because she gave off a very familiar feeling.
Jiu Mozhi stared at the woman. As a martial arts fanatic, Jiu Mozhi only cared about martial arts.
This woman was Liu Mingyue. Liu Mingyue looked at the three of them and said playfully," Everyone, long time no see.”
Liu Mingyue's words contained a lot of information, which made the three of them stunned again. According to Liu Mingyue, even if they did not know each other, they had seen her before. However, the three of them did not remember when they had seen Liu Mingyue.
" Who are you?" Jiu Mozhi asked in confusion.”Jiu Mozhi was polite because he could tell that Liu Mingyue was skilled in martial arts.
Liu Mingyue laughed." I still remember Master's Flaming Saber Technique.”
Jiu Mozhi's expression changed as he remembered that he had only used the Flaming Saber Technique twice since he came to the Central Plains. The first time was at the Heavenly Dragon Temple, and the second time was at the Langhuan Jade Cave.
Jiu Mozhi and Murong Fu didn't use the Flaming Saber Technique. It wasn't that Liu Mingyue's kung fu was better than Murong Fu's, but that Jiu Mozhi was a martial arts fanatic and had a wide range of kung fu.
Murong Fu's various martial arts techniques could not do anything to Jiu Mozhi, and his family's martial arts had not been practiced to the best of their abilities, so he could not force Jiu Mozhi to use the Flaming Saber Technique.
When fighting Liu Mingyue, Jiu Mozhi's Shaolin skills were all broken. He was excited to see how Liu Mingyue would break his Tantra skills, so he used the Flaming Blade. However, the result was disappointing.
Jiu Mozhi put his palms together and said," So it's you. I've never seen your martial arts before. May I know which sect you're from?”
Although Jiu Mozhi already knew that Liu Mingyue was the one who had fought in the Langhuan Jade Cave, Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan still looked at her in confusion.
Liu Mingyue ignored their gazes and cupped her hands at Jiu Mozhi."Grandmaster's martial arts are strong, and I admire you very much. However, our sect has always been secluded, so it's fine if Grandmaster doesn't know.”
Then, Liu Mingyue changed the topic." Master, you're a step too late. The Hero Assembly was dissolved a few days ago, but I was lucky enough to participate. Just as you said, without someone like you, the Hero Assembly would not be called.”
"Sir, you flatter me." Jiu Mozhi said modestly, but the red glow on his face showed that he was in a good mood.
Duan Yu was worried about Qiao Feng. Now that he knew that Liu Mingyue was also present that day, he must know the details. He hurriedly asked," Miss, I'm Duan Yu. Can you tell me what happened that day and where my big brother Qiao Feng is now?"”
Jiu Mozhi's expression also changed. After all, even though he had missed the opportunity, everyone was curious.
Liu Mingyue couldn't beat Jiu Mozhi, so she was just trying to stall for time. Now that she saw Jiu Mozhi, she wanted to hear what he said.
"That day…"
Liu Mingyue recounted what happened that day.
