"Haha, good, straightforward enough. I like it. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. As long as it's within my ability, I won't refuse.”Louis finished his sentence and downed the wine in his glass.
"Senior Brother." Ying Shan suddenly spoke, her watery eyes slightly red.
"What is it?" Li Hao put down his wine glass and looked at his junior sister who had suddenly quieted down.
"Senior Brother, when we go back, don't tell Master and Master's wife about this, okay?”Ying Shan pleaded.
Li Hao didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard anything. He picked up his wine cup and took a big sip. Li Hao didn't want to mention this to his master. His master was strict and upright. Whether it was his disciple or his daughter, he treated them equally. He rewarded and punished them fairly. If his master knew about this, his junior sister would definitely suffer. This junior sister was simple, carefree, and liked to run around. If her master locked her up for ten days or a month, she would feel worse than death.
As Li Hao thought about it, he felt an inexplicable sense of frustration in his heart. He continued to fill his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
The two Junior Brothers saw that Senior Brother Li Hao was drinking and seemed extremely unhappy. They didn't dare to say anything and only kept winking at their Senior Sister. Under the influence of Li Hao's melancholy, the meal became gloomy.
Junior Brother and Junior Sister didn't seem to have a good appetite. They simply picked up a few dishes and stuffed them into their mouths before rushing back to their rooms. Only Louis and Li Hao were left drinking.
In the private room.
Ying Shan sat at the head of the bed with an unhappy and lifeless expression. She didn't say anything and just stared ahead in a daze. She looked pitiful. Wang Lin and Xu Yan tried to persuade her, but Ying Shan remained expressionless and ignored them. It was as if she had lost her soul.
The two of them had no choice but to leave the room. Xu Yan suddenly said,"Junior Brother Wang Lin, did you notice that there was something wrong with Senior Brother's return this time?”
Wang Lin smiled and shook her head." What's wrong with Senior Brother? Hasn't he always had this strange personality? I think it's better to persuade Senior Sister. Seeing her like this makes me feel uncomfortable."”
"Senior Sister is naturally unhappy after being scolded by Senior Brother. Although Senior Brother has a strange temper, his personality is still relatively gentle. Senior Brother also dotes on Senior Sister very much.”Xu Yan shook his head and sighed.
At dusk, the clouds were like red lotuses, enchanting and flawless. The narrow yellow road outside the city seemed to be covered in a scarlet gauze. The lush trees by the roadside rustled in the cold wind, as if the leaves were flying violently.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar. A few young men and women were riding horses with swords on them. The man in the front was a black horse. He held a sword in his left hand and pulled the reins in his right hand. He was full of energy and looked solemn.
Behind them, two men and a woman walked side by side. The young men on both sides wore a coarse cloth. Their gazes were fixed on the woman in the middle. The woman's face was haggard as she leaned on the horse's back. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her yellow skirt fluttered in the wind.
At this moment, the man riding Ma Hei slowed down and looked around. He said solemnly,"Be careful. According to the information, we have already arrived at the foot of the mountain. Wang Lin, Xu Yan, take good care of Xiao Shan. If anything happens, you have to drag her away unscathed, understand?”
"Senior Brother, with you here, what danger will there be? Those bandits are just some three-legged cats. They only know how to bully unarmed people.”Wang Lin pursed her lips disapprovingly.
"Of course I'm not afraid. I'm just worried about you guys.”Li Hao frowned as he spoke. At this moment, he had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if someone was watching him. However, when he looked around, there was only the rustling of the grass and trees in the wind. There was no one there.
"Senior brother, although Xu Yan and I are not outstanding in the sect, how can these people from all walks of life be our match?”
Wang Lin said with pride.
" Junior Brother Wang Lin, it's better to be more cautious. Now that we're at the foot of the Qilin Mountain, the enemy will suddenly appear at any time and catch us off guard. Moreover…" Xu Yan's expression became solemn as he looked around and slowly said,""It's just dusk, and the sun hasn't set yet, but there's no one around.”
"Aiya! It was dinner time. Who would be so full that they would wander around the entrance of the bandits 'lair? Wasn't that stupid?”Wang Lin mocked.
" Junior Brother Xu Yan is right. It's really abnormal. How about this? You guys stay here and protect Junior Sister. I'll go up the mountain to take a look. I'll use the fireworks as a signal. If you see the fireworks I'm releasing, then leave quickly. Especially you, Wang Lin. If anything goes wrong, I'll ask you. Giddy-up," Li Hao said as he rode his black horse and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Qilin Mountain was located at the border of Jiangsu Province. The mountain was high and steep, and the green onion forest was dense. Wild beasts often appeared. The ordinary people who lived nearby rarely went up the mountain unless they were forced to go to the mountain to pick some rare herbs. Therefore, Qilin Mountain was usually very desolate. No one would have thought that not long ago, a group of people would come out of nowhere and take Qilin Mountain for themselves. They burned, killed, robbed, recruited soldiers, and bought horses. They grew stronger day by day, and their reputation spread far and wide. The residents at the foot of the mountain were scared and moved away.
Li Hao rode his black horse leisurely. He despised these bandits who bullied the weak and feared the strong from the bottom of his heart. If he wasn't worried about the comfort of his junior brothers and sisters, he would have come up the mountain alone.
The mountain path was bumpy and the road was uneven. Li Hao rode his black horse up and down like waves.
After walking for about the time it took to make a cup of tea, Li Hao looked up at the village in front of him. There was an embroidery on the door beam of the village. The words 'Qilin Village' were hanging on the door beam. The embroidery swayed in the wind and looked somewhat imposing.
At this moment, Li Hao was in a panic. He couldn't tell the reason, but he had a feeling that it was too quiet along the way. There were no bandits patrolling the mountain, nor were there any traces of wild beasts. It was lifeless.
Qilin Village was like a 60-year-old man in the evening, peaceful and quiet.
Li Hao rode on his black horse and slowly stepped into the village. The village was lifeless and there was no sign of anyone. Li Hao's eyes were sharp as he looked around and sneered,"Stop hiding and come out!”
"Hahahaha!" A laugh rose into the sky and resounded through the forest. A burly man walked out of the wooden house in front of them. He was wearing heavy armor and walked with a loud "caw caw" sound.
