"Hmph." Li Hao seemed to be a little dissatisfied. He glared at the man in white with his round eyes, then picked up the wine jar and took a sip."Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
The man in white patted Li Hao's shoulder and put away his frivolous look.""Of course you don't, but no matter what, at least you know where she is. But I'm pitiful, I don't even know where she is.”The white-robed man glanced at his pocket after he finished speaking. Then, he picked up the wine jar and poured a mouthful of wine, as if he was drinking all the sorrow in one gulp.
"The woman you mentioned, is she the one in the portrait you showed others?”Li Hao suddenly remembered and asked.
The man in white stared at the wine jar in a daze. Then, he nodded as if he was deep in thought." I haven't seen her for a long time. I've been looking for her for two years. Her smile, her coquettish appearance, and her angry appearance still reverberate in my mind. Sigh!”The white-robed man sighed and his mood became gloomy."This person, you always have to wait until you lose her before you cherish her. For the past two years, I've been from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the lower reaches, but there's still no news of her. It's as if she has evaporated into thin air.”
Li Hao looked at the dejected man.""Then how did you guys split up?”
The white-robed man covered his face with his hand. After a moment of silence, he slowly said,"That was a few years ago. At that time, I was about the same age as you. I should say that I was almost the same age as you are now. I was young and promising, talented, and had high hopes. I went to other sects to exchange martial arts with the sect.”The white-robed man drank another mouthful as he spoke, and even more wine dripped down and wet his face.
"While the senior and junior brothers were chatting, I strolled alone among the trees and finally met her.”The white-robed man smiled as he spoke. It was unknown whether he was happy or bitter.
" At that time, I saw that she was so focused on picking herbs that she didn't even notice my arrival. I stood at the side and observed her. Although this woman's appearance was not bad, she was not as beautiful as a fairy or could bring disaster to a country. I could only blame my romantic and elegant nature. I decided to tease that woman, but in the end, this teasing made me look like this.”The white-robed man shook his head sadly.
Li Hao smiled." No, I'm not like you in this regard. But I'm also curious about how you teased her." To actually be able to achieve such a result."
The white-robed man actually closed his eyes and smiled foolishly. Then, he opened his eyes."There are many ways to make fun of me, but I like to advance in order to retreat, huh? I remember. It was a clear and sunny day. She was wearing a light purple pleated skirt and had long black hair. Her body was filled with a faint floral fragrance. I lay on the grass and watched her do it for two hours.”
"Haha, you have a good temper." Li Hao smiled.
"Humph!" The white-robed man seemed to be angry, but he also seemed to be dissatisfied." Although this scene was beautiful, it made me stay in that boring place for two hours. I almost fell asleep. After that, the woman got up and finally saw me. She wasn't surprised or said anything. She just looked at me and left without looking back. I was almost furious at that time. I thought that no woman had dared to treat me like this for many years.”
Li Hao was stunned when he heard that. He smiled and asked curiously,""Don't tell me you're going to run up to her and kill her?”
The white-robed man looked at Li Hao in annoyance.""Haha, you brat, do you think I'm like you?”Then, he lifted the wine jar and found that the wine in the jar had been drained. He could not help but raise his long eyebrows."Waiter, two more jars."
Li Hao shook his head and smiled." You drunkard. I still don't know your name."”
The white-robed man laughed." Haha, I almost forgot to introduce myself if you didn't ask. My name is Jiang Huan, and my master is Mount Baiyun.”The white-robed man's eyes flashed with faint pride after he finished speaking.
"Mount Baiyun? He had heard that it was also a first-rate force in the martial arts world in the past, and many heroes had emerged from it.”Li Hao pondered for a moment.
Jiang Huan smiled and took the wine jar. As he tore off the sealing paper, he said loudly,"Mount Baiyun is an immortal mountain in the south. It has a long history and has produced many famous figures in the martial world. You probably don't know those who are too old.”Jiang Huan smiled meaningfully.
"You? Your ability is indeed not bad, but since you're famous, why haven't I heard of your name before?”Li Hao once again sized up this white-robed man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
"Hmph, aren't their faces all the same? What can you tell? You ignorant brat, if you were the same as before, I would have taught you a lesson long ago. Brat, have you heard of the Four Great Sword Saints of the pugilistic world?”Jiang Huan spoke in a carefree manner, but his eyes flickered with a sharp glint.
Li Hao smiled." Hmph, if it was in the past, I would definitely fight you, regardless of who you are."”Li Hao paused for a moment and raised his eyebrows." Of course I know about the Four Great Sword Saints. They were the four best swordsmen in the world that were selected during the sword competition. But what does this have to do with you?"”As Li Hao spoke, he stared at the white-robed man before him. Then, his eyes lit up and he smiled.
"Brother Jiang Huan, I was blind to not recognize you.”
"Hahaha, brat, are you afraid now?”Jiang Huan laughed out loud.
"Afraid? Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you? So what if you're Emperor Bai of the Four Great Sword Saints? Are we going to go out and fight again?”Li Hao grabbed the sword on the table and prepared to leave.
Jiang Huan smiled as he watched Li Hao's departing figure. After paying the bill, he carried the wine jar and followed him out.
The place was still under that poplar tree. Li Hao stood in the cold wind with his sword on his back, while Jiang Huan lazily leaned against the rough wood. He hugged the wine jar with both hands and even threw the sword in his hand to the side. It seemed that he had no intention of fighting.
Li Hao pulled out the long sword in his hand and began to brandish it one move at a time. Meanwhile, Jiang Huan took a sip of wine while watching Li Hao. He then put down the wine jar and clapped his hands." That's right. When I was your age, I was even weaker than you. In terms of swordsmanship, you were already very familiar with it. You even had your own thoughts and routines. However, your realm was not high enough and you were not ruthless enough.”
"Swordsmanship is just the basics. Everyone can learn and practice it, but why are there so few true swordsmen? He was talented, experienced, and good at using his brain. Why did the Four Great Sword Saints have their own titles? Not only were their realms unparalleled, but they also had their own unique sword techniques. For example, the Sword Saint of Shenghui's sword was one word: fast. In the blink of an eye, he had struck seventeen times in a row, and each strike had killed him. As for the Sword Saint of Cyan Robes, he used the word Cyan Robes because he had no sword in his hand. His green robe fluttered and sword qi surged. He had reached the realm of no sword defeating a sword. Finally, it was me, my sword. It was the Emperor's Sword. With the sword in hand, it could swallow mountains and rivers.”After Jiang Huan finished speaking, his eyes erupted with a disposition that looked down on the world.
