Therefore, just as the tip of Jiang Yuntian's sword was about to touch the edge of the man's clothes, the man who had been lying motionless on the brick bed suddenly stood up. He seemed to have an unexpectedly fast reaction to the threat of a weapon.
A swoosh was heard in his ears, bringing with it the sound of clothes fluttering. As the man's clothes fluttered, Jiang Yuntian felt the long sword in his hand shake violently. The hilt in his hand suddenly turned forcefully, and the sword in his hand could no longer be held. It whistled and flew out of his hand like a silver snake. With a thud, the tip of the sword was deeply nailed into the wooden beam above. The soft sword body swayed gently in the air, trembling and emitting a cold light that filled the room.
The long sword in his hand suddenly flew out uncontrollably. Jiang Yuntian could not help but exclaim again and hurriedly retreated. At that moment, the person on the brick bed had already straightened his upper body and sat up. A cluster of flames flickered in Jiang Yuntian's left hand, shining on that person's face.
It was a face that he was very familiar with. After seeing it clearly, Jiang Yuntian was happy at first, but then he was worried. He was happy that the owner of this face did not die as the rumors said. He was worried that the originally fair and healthy face had now turned pale and yellow. It was so haggard that it was very scary.
"M-Mr. Mu. Ah! I really didn't expect it to be you.”Jiang Yuntian stuttered.
In an instant, his extreme shock turned into extreme surprise and deep worry. This was something that he would never have dreamed of. The person sleeping on the brick bed in his guest room late at night was actually the old man surnamed Mu, Mu Yunshen.
The three distinctive strands of beard hanging below his chin were the best proof of his identity, but…but he seemed to have lost his former graceful and elegant demeanor, and his spirit was also very dispirited.
His cheeks were no longer as rosy as before. Even his eyes, which used to be as bright as the morning stars, had lost their luster. The few wrinkles on his face seemed to have increased by quite a bit.
It had only been three days since they parted ways in the desert until they met tonight. However, when Jiang Yuntian carefully sized up the old man whom he admired and respected, he felt as if he had aged more than ten years.
His originally white and neat beard was also dyed with blood, making it look eye-piercing and shocking. He was still wearing that loose golden robe, but he seemed to be even fatter. There was still the same silk sash tied around his waist. A pigeon-egg-sized crystal agate gem was still tied at the end of the silk sash. These items fully proved the identity of the old man.
After looking at the old man for a moment, Jiang Yuntian felt tears welling up in his eyes. He suddenly threw himself in front of the brick bed, stretched out one of his hands, and tightly grabbed the arm of the old man surnamed Mu. He sobbed and said,"Senior Mu, what…what happened to you? You…You…"
The old man surnamed Mu, who sat up on the brick bed, forced himself to be very energetic. He widened his eyes and suddenly realized that the person in front of him was Jiang Yuntian. His originally dim eyes seemed to have suddenly brightened up a lot. A trace of a gratified smile hung on the corner of his lips as he said softly,"Young man, it really is you…Jiang…Yuntian, you're finally back…"
"Old senior, your injuries are very serious, right?”As he spoke, he hurriedly lit the lamp on the table, extinguished the flame in his hand, and brought the lamp closer.
After seeing Jiang Yuntian, the old man surnamed Mu relaxed a lot. He was tired from his injuries and slowly lay down again. He said apologetically,"Young man, I'm really sorry…Please forgive me for being too presumptuous and entering without an invitation.”
" Old man, these are not important. You don't have to apologize," Jiang Yuntian asked with great concern." In my opinion, the most important thing now is your injury." Why don't…I…I'll go out now and find the best doctor in the city to treat you!”
When the old man surnamed Mu heard this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Yuntian's hand. He said with some effort,"There's no need…to go."
His eyes, which were dim and pale but still lively, seemed to contain a very strange and intimate expression as they moved back and forth on Jiang Yuntian's face. Suddenly, he asked,"What happened to these two places on your face? Why are you injured too?"
"Ah-no! I'm fine!" Only then did Jiang Yuntian suddenly realize his current sorry state. He hurriedly took off his wet clothes and found a set of good clothes from his luggage. He changed into them one by one with his back to his body. Then, he wiped the water on his head with a dry cloth.
While he was doing these messy chores, the old man surnamed Mu had been carefully sizing him up with an indescribable kind gaze. The old man had a subtle smile on his face. His expression was like a loving father sizing up his very naughty but extremely cute son. From the corner of the old man's mouth to the tip of his eyebrows, and then to every wrinkle on his face, he looked as if he was loving Jiang Yuntian.
Jiang Yuntian couldn't wait to clean himself up. He returned to the old man named Mu and sat down with a heartache when he saw his haggard appearance.
Seeing him sit down, Old Man Mu smiled and said,""Who did you fight with just now? Am I right?"
Jiang Yuntian nodded and said with some embarrassment,"Yes, old man!"
"Who was the one who attacked you?" asked the old man hurriedly.”
" Yes…" Jiang Yuntian lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying,"" A golden ship suddenly arrived at the port of the Ulun River." Hearing the words " golden ship," the old man named Mu's expression changed drastically.
"The injury on my face was caused by fighting with the people on the ship!”
The old man's mouth twitched and he said,"You mean to say that you once fought with Tong Feiyun? Ah! No way! This…this shouldn't be the result, right?”
Jiang Yuntian could not help but be stunned. He asked,"Old man, who is this Tong Feiyun you're talking about? However, the person I fought with was also surnamed Tong, and her name was Xiaowei!”
The old man named Mu was startled."How did you know her name? "She's the only daughter that Tong Feiyun dotes on very much. How could you…" When he said this, an incomparably puzzled look appeared in his eyes for a moment.
