After a while, the chief steward in the hall was brought in.
He returned the gold medal to Yu Muhou with both hands and cupped his fists."Esteemed guests, did you summon me here because the gambling den didn't provide good hospitality?”
"Do you know what this is?" Yu Mu shook the gold medal in his hand.”
"Yes, I know. This is the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor."”
"It's good that you know." Yu Mu said. Can I meet the owner of your casino with this gold medal?”
"You want to see our Owner?"”
"Hmm? Can't I?" Yu Mu's face turned cold.
"Of course, I'll go and invite the owner now." Please follow me to the private room upstairs.”
He quickly walked to the stairs at the end of the hall and went up to the second floor.
Yu Mu knew that there was something fishy about the second floor of the gambling den. When he wanted to go up, he was stopped by the guards at the stairs.
The owner of Jade Tiger Casino arrived very quickly.
Yu Mu and Pei Shengxin thought that the person who could manage such a luxurious casino must be a ruthless character, but the owner came with a gentle smile.
"I am Xu Qiu, the owner of Jade Tiger Casino." I don't know which one of you is Iron Mask Constable Pei Shengxin, Lord Pei.”
Pei Shengxin stepped forward and said,"I am Pei Shengxin."”
"Nice to meet you," Xu Qiu said with a smile. And this is?"
Yu Mu held the Green Lotus Sword with his arms crossed and smiled at Xu Qiu.
Pei Shengxin's eyes widened when he saw Yu Mu holding the Green Lotus Sword. Although no one dared to use force in the Jade Tiger Casino, the casino still did not allow weapons to enter. Pei Shengxin handed his knife to the casino's attendant when he entered. He clearly saw Yu Mu handing over the sword when he entered the room, but the sword in Yu Mu's hand was indeed the Green Lotus Sword.
"So it's Yu Mu, Young Hero Yu." Xu Qiu cupped his hands and said. Sorry for the disrespect."
"I didn't expect the owner of Jade Tiger Casino to be so young." Yu Mu said.”
"Young Master Yu, please forgive me." I am only one of the seven owners of Jade Tiger Casino. I am usually responsible for managing the trivial matters in the casino.”
"There are actually seven owners in a casino. I wonder who the other six owners are?" Yu Mu asked.”
"This is my workshop's secret," Xu Qiu said. May I ask why the two of you are looking for me?”
"It's nothing serious," Yu Mu said."I just want to have a bet with Owner Xu. I wonder if Owner Xu is interested."”
Pei Shengxin looked at Yu Mu in confusion, and Yu Mu gave him a look to signal him to just watch.
"How can we not be interested in gambling?" Xu Qiu laughed. Young hero Yu, what do you want to bet?"
Yu Mu slapped the Green Lotus Sword on the table and said,""Let's bet on this."
Xu Qiu looked at the divine weapon left behind by the sword immortal and shook his head.
"Young hero Yu, you must be joking. Even if you lose to me, I wouldn't dare to take this sword.”Xu Qiu declined.
"Owner Xu, you misunderstood me." Yu Mu said. What I want to bet on is not the Green Lotus Sword, but the owner of this sword.”
"Yes?" Xu Qiu probed.
"You should know who it is. It's definitely not me." Yu Mu laughed.”
"Young Hero Yu, please tell me more," Xu Qiu said.”
"If you win the bet, I will ask the owner of this sword to do something for you." Yu Mu said. This is my wager."
"Anything?" Xu Qiu asked.
"Anything is fine." Yu Mu nodded. You should know my relationship with him.”
"I know," said Xu Qiu.
"You should know the value of this bet."”
"I know," said Xu Qiu.
"You want to bet with me?" Yu Mu asked.
"Why not?" Xu Qiu asked. Young Master Yu's bet was tempting. Young Hero Yu, what do you want me to bet?”
"I want to be the eighth owner of Jade Tiger Casino," Yu Mu said.”
Xu Qiu was stunned. Then, he frowned and began to think.
Pei Shengxin was dumbfounded. He didn't know what Yu Mu was up to. But he could only trust Yu Mu now.
Yu Mu saw that Xu Qiu was deep in thought and immediately urged,"Owner Xu, don't even think about it. You've earned a lot. I thought I would split the gambling den with you, but I didn't expect it to become an 80% gambling den.”
Xu Qiu was not in a hurry to agree. He was still deep in thought.
"Why don't we let the old man kill the other six bosses and split the gambling dens equally?" Yu Mu said.”
"Young Master Yu, it's better not to make such jokes." Xu Qiu said.”
"How is it?" Yu Mu asked. Answer or not, give me a straightforward answer.”
"I have to..." Xu Qiu said.
Yu Mu's ears twitched as if he heard something.
"Alright, I'll bet with Young Master Yu." Xu Qiu immediately agreed.”
Yu Mu was a bit curious, why did Xu Qiu, who couldn't make up his mind, agree so quickly?
"You don't need to think about it anymore?" Yu Mu asked.”
"There's no need to think about it," Xu Qiu said.
"Why don't you discuss such an important matter with the other owners?" Yu Mu asked.”
"Why are you the one who's unhappy now, Young Master Yu?" Xu Qiu asked. I think the other owners will also choose to bet with you.”
"Good!" Yu Mu said. Let's take this gamble."
Xu Qiu smiled and said,"I wonder what kind of gambling method Young Master Yu wants to use to bet with me."”
"This is my first time entering a casino," Yu Mu said."If I were to use the casino's rules to gamble, wouldn't Owner Xu feel that I'm at a disadvantage?"”
"That's true. How do you want to bet, Young Master Yu?" Xu Qiu said. Just say it."
"With Jade Tiger Casino's wealth, there must be many rare treasures in the casino, right?" Yu Mu said.”
"It's not a rare treasure, but it's still considered a valuable item," Xu Qiu said modestly.”
"I'll bet with you," Yu Mu said."Whoever can take out something more valuable within the time for two incense sticks to burn wins." They included rare herbs, antique paintings, gold, silver, jewelry, and divine weapons. What do you think?"
Xu Qiu couldn't guess what Yu Mu was thinking. It seemed that Yu Mu had no chance of winning. He also knew that Pei Shengxin was from the Pei Family of Hebei, but the Pei Family was thousands of miles away. How could Pei Shengxin make it back in two incense sticks 'time?
"This Green Lotus Sword won't count, right?" Xu Qiu hesitated.”
"Of course it doesn't count," Yu Mu said."Even the gold medal he received from the emperor doesn't count."”
Under such conditions and such a bet, Xu Qiu really couldn't think of a reason to reject Yu Mu.
"Bring me a few incense sticks," Xu Qiu ordered.”
The chief steward went out to get a few incense sticks and returned to the private room.
"Is the time for two incense sticks to burn enough?" Xu Qiu asked confidently. If Young Master Yu felt that the time was too short, an hour would be fine.”
"Enough," Yu Mu said."Just enough. Just one incense stick will do."”
"Then it won't change. It'll still be two incense sticks worth of time." I'll get the steward to monitor the time of the incense.”
"Naturally, I'll let Great Divine Constable Pei come to monitor the time of the incense."”
"Young Hero Yu, just tell me when you want to burn the incense."”
"Light it up now," Yu Mu said straightforwardly.”
Xu Qiu looked at the chief steward, who went forward and lit the incense.
In the eyes of others, there seemed to be no suspense in the bet. When Yu Mu went downstairs, he confidently gave Pei Shengxin a look of waiting.
Pei Shengxin was not sure if Yu Mu could win the bet, but according to what Yu Mu had said before, he knew that Yu Mu's bet was basically nonsense.
However, seeing Yu Mu's confident performance, Pei Shengxin could only wait quietly with the big manager of the gambling den for the incense to burn out.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yu Mu returned. Instead, he leisurely sat on a chair and waited for Xu Qiu.
Halfway through the second incense stick, Xu Qiu returned.
Seeing that Yu Mu was already waiting for him, Xu Qiu said in surprise,"Young hero Yu, you've prepared it so quickly. It seems like you're very confident in what you've prepared.”
"I can tell from Owner Xu's expression that you're very confident in the things you've prepared." Yu Mu laughed.”
The two of them stood on either side of the table.
Two maids stood behind Xu Qiu. The maids held a scroll of painting in their hands. It seemed that he had prepared an authentic work of a famous artist. Yu Mu couldn't tell what he had prepared.
"Should Young Hero Yu show it first, or should I?" Xu Qiu asked.”
"I'm a guest, so of course the host comes first."”
Xu Qiu didn't say much. He clapped his hands, and the maid behind him slowly unfolded the scroll in her hand.
This was a calligraphy piece.
"This is one of the authentic works passed down by the calligraphy master Wang Xizhi," Xu Qiu explained. "17." Although it wasn't as famous as Wang Xizhi's first semi-cursive script, Preface to Lanting Collection, it was still a rare masterpiece of Wang Xizhi. This piece of calligraphy was priceless. If one had to estimate its price, it would probably reach hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If Young Master Yu doesn't believe me, I can ask the best calligrapher in Yangzhou to appraise it.”
"No need," Yu Mu said. I still trust Owner Xu."
Xu Qiu felt that victory was already in his grasp and could not help but reveal a smug smile.
Yu Mu walked to the front of the Seventeen Calligraphy and admired it for a while."As expected of Wang Xizhi's authentic work. It really opened my eyes. I didn't expect Owner Xu to be able to take out such a treasure.”
"Young Hero Yu, please show me your treasure." Xu Qiu smiled.”
"Are there any bowls here?" Yu Mu asked.”
"Of course," Xu Qiu replied.
The chief steward placed a bowl on the table.
Yu Mu smiled. He took out a water bottle from his pocket and filled the bowl with water.
Xu Qiu looked at Yu Mu in confusion, and Yu Mu looked back at Xu Qiu confidently.
Even a serious person like Pei Shengxin almost laughed out loud. As he expected, Yu Mu's method was still shameless.
"Young Hero Yu, what do you mean?" Xu Qiu asked.”
"What do you mean?" Yu Mu asked. Didn't Owner Xu see it? This is my treasure."
"A bowl of water?" Xu Qiu asked.
"No, no, no." Yu Mu shook his head. It was not a bowl of water, but water. Nothing in the world could survive without water. The ancients said that water was the source of all things. May I ask, Owner Xu, which is more valuable, your painting or my Origin of All Creation?”
Xu Qiu was angered by Yu Mu's words and laughed, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure and said,"Young Master Yu, you are wrong. Water is the source of all things, but this is just a bowl of water. I can take out ten bowls or a hundred bowls right now, but you can't take out any calligraphy that's more precious than my " Seventeen Calligraphy Styles ".”
"Owner Xu, you're wrong." Yu Mu shook his head. The Seventeen Styles of Calligraphy was nothing more than a bowl of water in Wang Xizhi's works. There were many other calligraphy pieces that were more precious than the Seventeen Calligraphy Styles. Could Owner Xu find something that was more precious than water?”
" Nonsense, nonsense!!!" Xu Qiu had been toyed with by Yu Mu again and again, and he finally exploded.
He looked at Yu Mu coldly and said,"Young Master Yu, I'm afraid that this bet will not be counted. I'll have to ask the two of you to leave!"”
"Owner Xu, I trusted you so much before, but now you don't admit your loss. Your gambling style is not good." Yu Mu said. If word of this got out, it would probably affect the reputation of Jade Tiger Casino.”
"Hahahahaha!”
Xu Qiu was about to flare up when he was interrupted by laughter.
The man who had worked with Yu Mu pushed the door open and entered the private room.
When Xu Qiu saw the cloth-clothed man enter, he hurriedly bowed.
"Xu Qiu, you won't win if you reason with him, because a scoundrel like him is completely unreasonable." Alright, all of you can leave now."
"Yes, Owner." Xu Qiu replied respectfully.”
He quickly left the private room with the chief steward and the maid.
"Owner?" Yu Mu couldn't help but ask. Are you also the owner of Jade Tiger Casino?"
"That's not quite right," said the man in plain clothes with a smile. It wasn't " also ", but " just ". To tell you the truth, Jade Tiger Casino has only had one owner since its establishment, and that is me.”
"But Xu Qiu said that Jade Tiger Casino has a total of seven owners."”
"They are all used by me to deceive others," said the man in plain clothes.”
"You were the one who sent a voice transmission to Xu Qiu?" Yu Mu asked.! I was wondering why he suddenly agreed to bet with me.”
"Kid's ears are quite sharp."”
He picked up the bowl of water that Yu Mu poured and said,"You want to split the Jade Tiger Casino with me over a bowl of water? You're dreaming."
Yu Mu could only laugh dryly.
"You and your father have taken different paths," said the man in plain clothes. One was a tough one, and the other was a rogue. They were both unreasonable masters.”
"You've met my father?" Yu Mu asked suspiciously.”
"Of course I've seen him before. I even taught him gambling." Unfortunately, he is not a good gambler."
Yu Mu was confused by the man's words. He looked to be no more than thirty years old, so how could he have taught Yu Sheng gambling skills at Jade Tiger Casino ten or twenty years ago? Moreover, Jade Tiger Casino had been in operation for forty to fifty years, yet he claimed that he had been the owner of Jade Tiger Casino all along.
"You two aren't really here to cause trouble for my Jade Tiger Casino, are you?”
"Actually, I also know what you're here for. It's most likely that you're here to seek help from the gambling monster, just like your father."”
"Senior, we're here to ask Senior Gambling Monster to clear up our doubts regarding the case of the Four Great Young Masters."”
" Hey, hey, hey!!!"
The cloth-clothed man quickly covered his ears and said,""If you guys are here to ask the gambling monster about something, go and tell him. Don't tell me such troublesome things.”
"Senior, please invite Senior Gambling Monster to come out and meet us."”
The man clapped his hands and said,"Oh, I forgot." He was not in Jade Tiger Casino today.”
"Not here?" Yu Mu and Pei Shengxin were greatly disappointed.
"I said he's not in Jade Tiger Casino now, but I didn't say you won't be able to see him today."”
Pei Shengxin cupped his fists and said,"Senior, please tell me the truth."”
The man in plain clothes said," The gambling monster is now at Qingchuan Tower outside Yangzhou City. You can see Qingchuan Tower when you go out from the west gate."”
"Thank you." Yu Mu pulled Pei Shengxin and was about to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey. Can you hear me out?" The cloth-clothed man shouted.
"Please enlighten me, senior." Yu Mu turned around and smiled.”
The cloth-clothed man looked Yu Mu up and down and said,"Kid, you still know some manners. You even know how to say 'thank you'. Stronger than your father."
"Compared to praising me, why does it sound more like scolding both father and son with one sentence?" Yu Mu said.”
The cloth-robed man laughed loudly.
"Let's not talk about anything else. You're much more interesting than your father. I like you."”
He took out a palm-sized jade token and handed it to Yu Mu,"Take this jade pendant with you. Without it, you won't be able to enter Qingchuan Restaurant.”
"Thank you, Senior." Yu Mu took the jade token and bowed.”
The man in plain clothes nodded and said,"I can tell that you're sincerely thanking me when you say 'thank you'.”
"Senior, we won't bother you any further," Yu Mu said.”
"Get lost, get lost." The cloth-robed man waved his hand repeatedly.
After the two left, the man looked to the west and muttered,"Ye Zhiyu, Ye Zhiyu. To you, how good would it be if the father and son were reversed? Sigh, the world was unpredictable.”
"How old do you think that man in plain clothes is?”Yu Mu couldn't help but ask as soon as they left Jade Tiger Casino.
"Thirty," Pei Sheng replied.
"Yeah, I also think he's only about thirty years old." But listen to what he said. He has been the only owner of Jade Tiger Casino since its establishment. Then he should be at least seventy years old.”
"Maybe his father passed the gambling den to him."”
"Then why did he say that?" Yu Mu asked.”
Pei Sheng replied,"I misspoke." Otherwise, it's because he has a technique to keep his face."
"A technique to preserve one's beauty?"
" No matter how good his looks are," Yu Mu said," a seventy-year-old man can't just look like a thirty-year-old man. Besides, look at his face. There's almost no wrinkle."”
Pei Sheng said," I'm not interested in how strange he is. We're here to investigate a case, not the owner of Jade Tiger Casino."”
"You're really boring." Yu Mu waved his hand.”
Pei Shengxin said,"You're too interesting. We can just go along."”
Yu Mu took out the jade token given by the man in plain clothes.
"Look, the tiger carved on this jade token is almost identical to the one on the plaque of the Jade Tiger Casino.”
Pei Shengxin glanced at it and said,"This jade token is from a famous master."”
"How do you know?" Yu Mu asked.
"This tiger has a god."”
"I can't tell if there's a god or not. I only know that such a large piece of suet jade can be sold for a lot of money." Yu Mu said. It was probably worth more than the hundred pieces of jade on the plaque.”
Pei Shengxin said,"From what you're saying, you don't intend to return this jade to him."”
"He didn't ask me to pay him back. Besides, didn't I say thank you?" Yu Mu said innocently.”
Pei Shengxin smiled and said,"Now it seems that what he said is very reasonable."”
"What words?"
"You are a scoundrel."
The weather in Yangzhou was a little cloudy and cloudy today. In the morning, the sun was still shining brightly when Yu Mu and Yu Mu entered Jade Tiger Casino. Now that they had left the city, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Qingchuan Restaurant was located in the mountains not far from the west of Yangzhou City.
Qingchuan, Qingchuan, originally meant a clear sky that stretched for thousands of miles, looking down at the flat plains. Since there was no clear sky today, it was probably impossible to see the flat plains in the mountains.
The two of them arrived at Qingchuan Restaurant. They thought that the reason why the man in plain clothes gave them the jade token was because Clear River Restaurant was heavily guarded, but Yu Mu and the others only saw a bald old man guarding the door.
Yu Mu saw that the bald old man had no reaction to him, so he wanted to go in directly. The bald old man took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Mu.
This barrier was like a huge mountain between Yu Mu and the door, making Yu Mu feel that no matter what he did, he would not be able to get past the old man and enter Qingchuan Restaurant.
Yu Mu immediately understood that this bald old man in front of him was a martial arts expert.
It wasn't Yu Mu's character to show the jade plate to the old man.
He was about to exchange a few moves with the bald old man when he was pulled back by Pei Shengxin. Pei Shengxin stared at Yu Mu's eyes and shook his head.
Seeing this, Yu Mu could only take out the jade token and give it to the bald old man.
The old man took the token and put it in his pocket. He didn't say anything and turned to the side to make way for them to enter the building.
Pei Shengxin looked at the stunned Yu Mu and smiled.
"Well, he's waiting for me here," Yu Mu said.”
When Pei Shengxin went upstairs, he had been wondering what kind of person such a mysterious gambling monster was. Yu Mu didn't need to think about it. Although he had never seen the real person who gambled on monsters, he had heard about it from Yu Sheng.
Ye Zhiyu sat cross-legged in front of the table. This time, he did not brew tea or read. He just sat there quietly, waiting for Yu Mu and Pei Shengxin to arrive.
Yu Mu and Pei Shengxin were a little disappointed when they saw the gambling monster for the first time. Although they could vaguely see Ye Zhiyu's young demeanor from his face, the person sitting in front of them now was just an old man with a sunset.
Time was always so heartless.
No matter how magnificent a person was, they would slowly disappear in the long river of time.
"Senior is a gambling monster?" Pei Shengxin asked.”
"Yes, I'm a gambling monster," Ye Zhiyu said. Please take a seat."
"I heard that I have to make a bet with you before I can ask you anything," Yu Mu said directly.”
Pei Shengxin pulled Yu Mu and shouted,"Don't be rude."
Ye Zhiyu smiled kindly. Other people need to win against me when they ask questions, but you're considered an acquaintance of mine, so there's no need for that.”
"This old man might be familiar with you, but this is the first time I've seen you." Yu Mu said.”
"If you want to bet, you and your father won't win," Ye Zhiyu said. Your father used force after losing a bet. Now that you're here, I reckon you're about the same as your father. I'd better skip this process. Just ask whatever you want to ask.”
"Looks like the old man's reputation isn't that good." Yu Mu muttered.”
"Senior Gambling Monster, we're here to investigate the case of the Four Great Young Masters."”
" I know why you're here," Ye Zhiyu said." I also know that you're here to investigate this case on behalf of Lin Ping Sect."”
Pei Shengxin nodded and said,"That's true.。。”
"Since you know everything, why don't you just tell us who the murderer is?" Yu Mu interrupted.”
Ye Zhiyu smiled and shook his head.”
Pei Shengxin glared at Yu Mu. Yu Mu curled his lips and could only sit at the side without making a sound.
Pei Shengxin said," We started investigating the murderer on the 14th of August in Hu Provincial City. But now, other than the one clue we have, we have no clue at all."”
"What clues?" Ye Zhiyu asked.”
"A unique hidden weapon. The murderer used it to escape from Yu Mu's pursuit."”
He took out three pieces of hidden weapons and handed them to Ye Zhiyu.
Ye Zhiyu took a closer look at the hidden weapon and said,""Only these three?"
"No, these three pieces can be assembled." We also collected some fragments."
He then handed Ye Zhiyu the package containing the remaining fragments.
Yu Mu looked at the scenery outside the window. Pei Shengxin poked him.
"What?" Yu Mu was confused.
Pei Sheng said,"Please describe the scene of this hidden weapon to Senior Gambling Monster."”
"Before this hidden weapon is released, it's a small square iron box." When the black-robed man threw it into the air, it exploded in the next moment, scattering countless pieces of metal in the surroundings. It was extremely fast and powerful. It was as if a flower of death had bloomed out of thin air, harvesting lives wantonly.”
Yu Mu couldn't help but gasp when he recalled the scene. That was the moment he felt the closest to death.
After listening to Yu Mu's description, Ye Zhiyu didn't immediately come to a conclusion.
He rubbed the fragment in his hand. He was thinking and recalling.
After a long time, he said,"It can't be wrong." This was the secret weapon of the Northeast Ten Thousand Blades Gate, the unique hidden weapon, Qilin's Fury.”
"Ten Thousand Blades Gate?" Pei Shengxin seemed to have heard of this sect before.
Ye Zhiyu nodded. However, the Ten Thousand Blade Sect had already retired from the martial world thirty years ago.”
"Could the murderer be someone from the Ten Thousand Blades Gate?" Pei Sheng asked. What reason did the Ten Thousand Blades Gate have to assassinate the four great young masters?”
"The Ten Thousand Blade Sect is different from other sects," Ye Zhiyu said. Ever since its ancestor founded the Ten Thousand Blades Gate, the Ten Thousand Blades Gate had rarely been involved in the disputes of the martial world. The members of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect were focused on studying hidden weapons. This Qilin Fury was created by the founder of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect in order to imitate the Peacock Plume. If you want to know why the murderer has the Qilin's Fury, you'll probably have to make a trip to the Door of Ten Thousand Blades to find the answer.”
"Actually, I have another clue." Yu Mu suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
"Ah?"
Ye Zhiyu and Pei Shengxin looked at Yu Mu at the same time. Pei Shengxin was even more confused.
Yu Mu took out a white sleeve, which was embroidered with half a snow lotus and many complicated engravings.
"This is the sleeve I cut off from the assassin when I fought him.”
"Why didn't you take it out then?" Pei Sheng asked.”
"I forgot." Yu Mu quibbled.
Ye Zhiyu grabbed his sleeve and said,""This is an antique."
"An antique?" Yu Mu and Pei Shengxin looked at each other.
"A sleeve is an antique?"
"This dress should be at least one or two hundred years old," Ye Zhiyu said with certainty.”
"Senior, you're not mistaken, are you?" Yu Mu laughed."What kind of clothes can be preserved for a hundred years?"”
" This isn't an ordinary dress," Ye Zhiyu said." It's made from the snow silk of the Western Regions."”
"Senior Gambling Monster, can you tell the origin of this sleeve?" Pei Shengxin asked.”
"It's hard to say. The sleeve was embroidered with a Tianshan Snow Lotus, which was made of snow silk. Snow Silk and Tianshan Snow Lotus were both unique to the Western Regions, and Tianshan Snow Lotus was a sacred object of the Western Regions. It was obvious that this dress could not be worn by ordinary people. I think this half of a sleeve might be related to the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult on the Western Regions 'Sky Mountain.”
"Senior, please tell us about the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult." Pei Sheng said.”
Ye Zhiyu stared at the snow lotus on his sleeve and said,""The Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult is located on the distant Sky Mountain. It was said that a thousand years ago, a spiritual snow lotus of the Heavenly Mountain transformed into a pure and holy girl and founded the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult in order to protect all living things on the Heavenly Mountain. For the past thousand years, the Holy Snow Lotus Cult had been rooted in the Western Regions. They had never made any move to interfere with the martial arts world of the Central Plains. However, it was said that Qiu Ming, the White Fiend God, who had been famous for a while decades ago, was a person from the Snowy Lotus Denomination who had come to the Chinese server to investigate the situation.”
"Where is Qiu Ming now?" Pei Shengxin asked.”
" I'm not sure." Ye Zhiyu shook his head." Maybe he has already returned to the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult."”
"Can we enter the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult?" Pei Sheng asked.”
" The Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult is extremely mysterious," Ye Zhiyu said." Even in the Western Regions, very few people have entered it." It's hard to say if anyone from the Central Plains has found the Holy Snowy Lotus Cult, but I've never heard of anyone who can come out of the Holy Snowy Lotus Cult after entering. Oh! There was a person who had once entered the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult.”
"Who is it?"
Ye Zhiyu pointed at the Green Lotus Sword hanging at Yu Mu's waist.
"What do you mean?" Yu Mu asked.
" It's rumored that Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, once visited the Heavenly Mountain and entered the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult," Ye Zhiyu said.”
"Rumors again." Yu Mu curled his lips. Even if it really happened, I can't ask Li Bai now. The Green Lotus Sword won't speak of its own accord either.”
Pei Shengxin stopped Yu Mu with his eyes and said respectfully,""Thank you, senior, for clearing our doubts."
"You're too polite, Iron Face Constable," Ye Zhiyu said with a smile. I wonder if I can ask Iron-faced Constable to wait downstairs for a moment. I have a few words to talk to Yu Mu alone.”
Pei Shengxin thanked him again and got up to go downstairs.
Now, only Ye Zhiyu and Yu Mu were sitting across from each other. They could now speak frankly about the things that they had been inconvenient to say just now.
"You should know my name, right?"”
"I know, Ye Zhiyu."”
"Your father must have told you my true identity," Ye Zhiyu said.”
" You are the son of the Demonic Sect Leader." Yu Mu looked at Ye Zhiyu." If the Demonic Sect hadn't been destroyed, you would have been the second leader."”
"Is your father alright?" Ye Zhiyu asked.”
Yu Mu shook his head." I'm not sure. I haven't seen the old man for a while. He should still be on Nanshan Island."”
"South Mountain Island." Ye Zhiyu repeated the name. "This name sounds better than its previous name.”
"Hmm?" Yu Mu could hear the hidden meaning in Ye Zhiyu's words.
"Didn't your father tell you? I gave this island to your father so that your mother could have a place to recuperate. It was originally called the Black Moon Island."
Looking at Yu Mu's dumbfounded face, Ye Zhiyu continued,""I didn't expect your father to treat it as a paradise and hide on the island for the rest of his life.”
"Are you also dissatisfied with him living in seclusion on an isolated island overseas?" Yu Mu asked in confusion.”
Ye Zhiyu said," I'm indeed a little dissatisfied. I've helped your father time and time again, even giving him the island. It's not to give him a place to escape from everything. I want him to become the second Luo Wei and lead the martial world back on track." You should know who Luo Wei is, right? After all, he is your uncle.”
Back then, Yu Sheng, Xu Yunji, and Luo Wei became sworn brothers in the Valley of the Medicine Masters. Luo Wei was the eldest brother, Xu Yunji was the second brother, and Yu Sheng was the youngest, the third brother.
Yu Mu clenched his fists. "Uncle, is he still alive?"
Ye Zhiyu's eyes were also a little dim. "I once set a deadline of 30 years with him. The deadline was up five years ago, and he's already gone down to accompany Qingqing.”
Thirty-five years ago, Luo Wei died in Jianghu. Five years ago, he truly left this world.
"Perhaps it's just a kind of torture for uncle to stay in this world," Yu Mu said.”
"Maybe," Ye Zhiyu muttered. Even thirty years of time was unable to change his mind. At least he didn't let Qingqing down.”
As Ye Qingqing's brother, Ye Zhiyu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about this.
"If only your father had been you back then.”
Ye Zhiyu was indeed thinking of this as the man said.
"It's not too late." Yu Mu said. What Uncle and the old man couldn't do, I might be able to do it.”
Ye Zhiyu sighed,"You're still too young and don't know the depth of Jianghu."”
"I've already seen many things in Jianghu," Yu Mu said.”
Ye Zhiyu suddenly asked Yu Mu a question.
"Do you know why the Demon Sect is called the Demon Sect?”
This was a question that Yu Mu could not answer. Everyone called the Demonic Sect the Demonic Sect. Even Ye Zhiyu himself called it that. It was as if you were asking a person why the sky was so blue. He can't answer you either.
Ye Zhiyu sighed. Uncovering the painful memories that had been sealed for a long time was not an easy thing for an old member of the Demon Sect.
"The Demonic Sect wasn't originally called the Demonic Sect. It was called the Black Moon Sect and originated from the Black Moon Island. Of course, that island was now called South Mountain Island.”
Hearing this, Yu Mu was shocked. The Southern Mountain Island that he had lived in for more than ten years was actually the origin of the Demon Cult.
" I was going to tell your father about this," Ye Zhiyu said." But I didn't tell him after I found out about his choice." I think I can tell you about it, because I'm pinning my hopes on you now.”
"Go ahead." Yu Mu tried his best to look calm.
"If we want to talk about the origins of the Blackmoon Cult, we have to mention a power that was destroyed more than seventy years ago.‘Qingtian Palace. If the sky does not change, I will live forever. The Qingtian Palace was the biggest force in the martial world back then. It could be said that it had already unified the martial world. Although it had been passed down for less time than those long-established sects, at that time, no matter what sect it was, they had to listen to the instructions of the Qing Tian Palace. The Qingtian Palace was like the imperial court of the pugilistic world, and the Palace Master of the Qingtian Palace was like the emperor of the pugilistic world. In the world, his power was only second to the real emperor. It was the truth of the world that prosperity would inevitably decline. No person or sect could avoid it. Finally, 70 years ago, the Qingtian Palace fell apart with the accidental death of the Palace Master. For a moment, the world was in chaos. Some of the forces and subordinates of the Qing Tian Palace formed their own sects, some joined other sects, and some were hunted down. My father was the leader of a faction affiliated to the Qing Tian Palace. He was hunted down.”
"Why can't your father form his own sect like the others, or join other sects?" Yu Mu asked in confusion.”
"Some people are not tolerated by the world," Ye Zhiyu said with a bitter smile. When the Azure Heaven Palace existed, my father and the others could naturally depend on it. When it perished, it would be my father and the others 'turn to accompany it. My father was a person who refused to accept his fate. He said that even if he had to escape to the ends of the earth, he would continue to escape. He did not want to be captured without a fight, and he did not want to accept his fate. At this time, a subordinate who was traveling with my father suggested that they go out to sea. This was because there was no place for them in this vast world. They could only go out to sea and perhaps find a safe place to spend the rest of their lives. My father agreed. They used all their money to buy fresh water, food, and a cargo ship. Just like that, they took a sea map from who knows how many years ago and left this mainland. Who knew that after a few days at sea, my father and the others encountered a storm on the sea. The cargo ship was destroyed by the wind and waves after two days. Father and the others did not die in the sea. They drifted to an island. Although they had lost a few companions, most of them were lucky enough to survive. What was even more fortunate was that they had a place that would never be found and could live in peace. After living on the island for half a month, my father and the others found traces of people living on this island. They walked all over the island and found many corpses, but none of them were Central Plainsmen. They had died a long time ago. After searching, they found a cave. A cave filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and martial arts manuals. What was surprising was that the martial arts in those martial arts manuals were different from any martial arts in the Chinese server, but there was a translation of Chinese characters in the manuals. My father immediately understood that these people were originally going to the Central Plains. From the books he had read, this group of people came from a sect called the Moon God Sect. They brought these gold, silver, jewelry, and martial arts manuals to the Central Plains to establish a branch. This island was just their transit point.”
"Then why did they all die on the island?" Yu Mu asked.”
" My father speculated that they died because of internal strife," Ye Zhiyu said. The specific reason was unknown. After obtaining all this, his father realized that this island might be a chance given to him by the heavens, a chance to return to the Central Plains. He could rely on these gold, silver, jewelry, and martial arts manuals to establish a sect, and even rebuild a new 'Qingtian Palace.'”
"Your father's ambition is too big." Yu Mu couldn't help but be speechless.”
" I'm afraid no one would want to spend the rest of their lives on an island except your father," Ye Zhiyu said. Moreover, anyone who obtained those things would have ambitions.”
"Go on," Yu Mu said.
" My father named this island Black Moon Island," Ye Zhiyu said." While they lived on Black Moon Island, they also began their plan to return to the Central Plains. My sister and I were both born on Black Moon Island. With the help of their profound martial arts manuals, their strength had increased greatly in just a few years. My father has even cultivated the most profound of them all, the 'Black Moon Secret Tome' and his power is unfathomable. In just five years, the group of people who had once fled the world had been reborn. His father had also officially put his return to the Central Plains on the agenda. They used the wood on the island to build a huge and sturdy ship, so that they could bring all the treasures and secret manuals back to the Central Plains. Just as they excitedly set out to sea, they realized that they could not return to the Central Plains.”
"Hai Liu," Yu Mu suddenly said.
"Yes, Hai Liu." Ye Zhiyu nodded. Due to the current, they had no choice but to return to the Black Moon Island. His father did not give up just like that. He continued to improve his kung fu with the others while trying to return to the Central Plains. After another seven or eight years, they finally grasped the laws of the ocean currents. They understood that there were only three to five days in a year for them to leave the Black Moon Island and return to the Central Plains. After making sufficient preparations, Father brought us back to the Central Plains. After more than ten years, the martial world had long forgotten his father's existence. His father chose Fuzhou, which had fewer sects and was easier to develop, as the place to establish his sect. The Blackmoon Cult was established. At that time, all the sects and clans were fighting each other, and the martial world was in a period of transition from chaos to peace. No one would pay attention to a new sect founded by the sea. The Black Moon Cult slowly grew stronger just like that. Although his father was ambitious, he was indeed talented. Fifteen years. He had only used fifteen years to make the Blackmoon Cult the strongest sect in the martial world. The influence of the Blackmoon Cult had also extended to several states bordering Fuzhou. By the time the major sects turned around and noticed the Black Moon Cult, the Black Moon Cult was no longer something they could easily deal with.”
"You actually managed to establish the number one sect in the world in fifteen years?" Yu Mu was shocked.”
Ye Zhiyu sighed." Although the Black Moon Cult is powerful, it's still far inferior to the combined strength of all the major sects." The various large sects had just experienced the destruction of the Qing Tian Palace. They knew that if the Black Moon Cult continued to develop like this, it would definitely become the second Qing Tian Palace. They soon reached a consensus. They saw that the martial arts of the Black Moon Cult were very different from those of the Chinese martial arts world, so they used this as an excuse to slander the Black Moon Cult by calling it an 'evil technique'. They started to deliberately provoke conflict with the Black Moon Cult, smearing the reputation of the Black Moon Cult in the martial world. It was from then on that the Black Moon Cult was labeled as a 'demonic cult'. In fact, the Blackmoon Cult had never committed any heinous acts, nor was it considered an evil cult. His father's only mistake was to be too hasty in the development of the Black Moon Cult. The rise of the Blackmoon Cult in such a short period of time had caused the members of the Blackmoon Cult to be mixed up with the good and the bad. Many villains who were not tolerated by the martial arts world of the Central Plains had also been recruited into the cult by his father. Most of them had an irreconcilable hatred with the various famous sects. Even though his father had repeatedly restricted their personal behavior, the conflicts between the Black Moon Cult and the various large sects were still increasing day by day. His father had a feeling that the Church of Blackmoon and the Chinese server's martial arts world would have a great war in the long run. However, this war had never been provoked, because even though the conflict continued, someone had always been trying to ease the relationship between the two sides. This person was Old Man Tian Qing. Old Man Tian Qing was a good friend of his father. His seniority in the martial arts world was extremely high, and all the famous sects would give him face. Old Man Tianqing strongly advocated for both sides to live in harmony. On one hand, he urged his father to restrain his subordinates, while on the other hand, he guided the various sects to tolerate the Black Moon Cult. He knew that although the martial arts of the two sides were different, they were all people who grew up in this land and had the same roots. We all belonged to this Jianghu. He believed that the Chinese server's martial arts world would gradually accept this child, the Blackmoon Cult, with time. Under Old Man Tian Qing's relentless persuasion, the two sides did not have any major conflicts despite the constant friction. However, the balance was still broken. Old Man Tian Qing was assassinated. After an autopsy, it was discovered that he died from the Black Moon Palm. This is the unique martial art of our Black Moon Cult, and it can only be learned by those who have contributed a lot to the cult. In other words, those who knew the Black Moon Palm were definitely the backbone of the Black Moon Cult.”
Seeing Ye Zhiyu speak so frankly, Yu Mu said,""You didn't kill Old Man Tian Qing, did you?”
"Of course not."
" Old Man Tian Qing is my father's best friend," Ye Zhiyu said." My father is also counting on him to improve his relationship with the other sects. Why would we kill him?"”
"But Old Man Tian Qing died under the Black Moon Palm," Yu Mu questioned."You've said it yourself. Only the core disciples of the Black Moon Cult are qualified to learn it."”
"Yes," Ye Zhiyu said. So I suspect that someone deliberately used the Black Moon Palm to kill Old Man Tian Qing.。。”
"Wait!" "You're saying that someone deliberately used the martial arts of the Black Moon Cult to kill Old Man Tianqing, who maintained the relationship between the two sides, so as to provoke a war between the Black Moon Cult and the Chinese martial arts world?" Yu Mu interrupted.!”
"Yes." Ye Zhiyu nodded.
Yu Mu suddenly realized that he was listening to the biggest secret of Jianghu in the past hundred years.
" At that time," Ye Zhiyu said," I asked my father to investigate the matter thoroughly in the cult, but he refused.”
Yu Mu couldn't believe that Ye Zhiyu said that his father refused to investigate the death of Old Man Tian Qing.
"You said your father refused to investigate the death of Old Man Tian Qing?" Yu Mu asked.”
"Yes," Ye Zhiyu said.
" I heard your description," Yu Mu said." Your father should be a very smart and ambitious man. How could he be so stupid?"”
" No," Ye Zhiyu shook his head." Actually, I was wrong about this. Father saw it more clearly than I did." Because even if his father found out the real cause of Old Man Tian Qing's death, the big sects would not let it go. He knew that once Old Man Tianqing died, the conflict between the Blackmoon Cult and the martial arts world of the Central Plains would definitely erupt. This was something that could not be stopped. Investigating all the core members of the cult at this juncture would only cause panic and would be equivalent to cutting off one's own limbs. His father couldn't allow the various sects to unite and exterminate the Black Moon Cult, so he decided to strike first to gain the upper hand, taking advantage of the fact that the various sects had yet to unite to launch an attack. As expected, they didn't expect us to come so quickly and decisively. In addition, the large sects did not have a unified order, so they were fighting their own battles. In just half a year, his father had wiped out all the Jianghu forces south of the Yangtze River. Countless sects moved north, and it was at this time that the Black Moon Cult reached its peak. Although the various large sects had lost their territories and suffered heavy losses, they still had their strength. In addition, the northern sects were unscathed. Although the Blackmoon Cult had gained the upper hand for the time being, their future was worrying. After this battle, the various sects in the martial arts world reached a consensus that they absolutely could not fight for themselves. They decided to choose a martial arts world leader. This Martial Arts Alliance Master was Luo Wei, who had just taken over as the Sect Master of the Returning Cloud Sect. After my sister learned of this news, she immediately went to find Luo Wei. She didn't want to see the love of her life become enemies with her father and brother. I stopped her and locked her in the church. Because I know that this matter is a foregone conclusion. She can't stop it. If she goes to find Luo Wei, she will only harm Luo Wei and herself.”
Everyone knew that the love between the leader of the martial arts world and the demonic witch was destined to never exist.
Yu Mu thought that perhaps Luo Wei and Ye Qingqing's encounter was a mistake.
Ye Zhiyu stood up. He couldn't sit there calmly.
"The fall of the Blackmoon Cult is inevitable. My father and I were very clear about this back then. Unless we can unify the entire martial arts world in one go. However, the Blackmoon Cult was not the Qingtian Palace. How could a sect with only fifteen years of accumulation be compared to the thousands of years of accumulation of the entire martial world? It was already rare for his father to be able to form an equal standing on the surface. Luo Wei's sudden appearance made the Black Moon Cult fall even faster. After he became the leader of the martial arts world, he was not in a hurry to counterattack. Instead, he first settled down the various sects in the south and let them recuperate. Even though the Blackmoon Cult had invaded the territories of the various sects, their influence in their own territories had not dissipated with it. Luo Wei did not choose to counterattack. He began to take back the territories that originally belonged to the various large sects one by one. Due to the fact that our members were scattered and we didn't have time to clear out the remaining forces of the original factions, we started to retreat. Rumor had it that Luo Wei decided to send the sect leader of whichever sect to lead the operation. He was neither greedy for merit nor power. His father didn't expect to lose so quickly and so badly. He didn't want to be devoured by Luo Wei step by step, which was why he had that shocking battle on Weiwei Mountain! In the end, the Blackmoon Cult was defeated. Of the four guardians, three were dead and one was missing. The twelve commanders were all killed, and the rest of the elite disciples were also injured or killed. His father was no match for Luo Wei and was seriously injured by Luo Wei's palm before fleeing. As Luo Wei led the various sects to destroy the Black Moon Cult's headquarters, his father died under the siege. The Blackmoon Cult was destroyed. I won't mention what happened after that. You should know what happened.”
Of course, Yu Mu knew.
Ye Qingqing hanged herself, and Luo Wei jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.
A martial arts legend had only existed for five to six years before he died in such a disgraceful manner.
Ye Zhiyu sighed." Actually, putting aside my personal feelings, I admire Luo Wei." I was even happy to see him become the hero who led the martial world forward after the Blackmoon Cult was destroyed, so that the martial world would once again be peaceful. However, he chose to jump off the cliff and die for love. I'm happy for my sister, but I'm also sad for this world. After the chaos, the Jianghu, which should have been peaceful, became chaotic again because of Luo Wei's death. As you can see, the righteous sects have abandoned chivalry and deceived the world to gain fame. If the pugilistic world did not even advocate chivalry, if it did not even believe in faith, then what hope was there in the pugilistic world? They destroyed our Demon Sect, but they themselves became the new Demon Sect in the martial world. As for the death of Old Man Tian Qing, who was the one who started this war? I've been investigating for 30 years, but I've only found some scattered information. I thought that this person would use everything that happened to carry out some conspiracy, but I waited for 30 years and still didn't get it.”
"Even if the mastermind is about your age, he should be at least seventy years old." Yu Mu said. What else could he do at the age of 70? Maybe you're just thinking too much."
Ye Zhiyu smiled and said,"I hope so."”
The two of them did not continue talking. This conversation caused them to sink into their thoughts about the past.
Before leaving Qingchuan Restaurant, Yu Mu asked a few questions.
"Why are you telling me this?”
"Why did you listen to all this?”
"You want me to become the next Luo Wei?”
"I place my hopes on everyone who has the chance to become Luo Wei. For example, your father."
"What identity do you live in? A remnant of the Blackmoon Cult, or a gambling monster?”
"A person has many identities. I don't live by my identity. I live as a person.”
。。。。。。
"Do you hate Luo Wei?"
"For my sister, I hate her. I hate myself too."
"Do you hate this world?"
"Pugilistic world? There's nothing to hate in the martial world."
"If the mastermind is really still alive in this world, do you want me to help you find him and restore the truth from back then?”
"The past is already gone."
"But what if he's still plotting something?”
"Then I ask you to destroy his conspiracy.”
。。。。。。
"Do you think there is still hope for this martial world?”
"What do I think? What do you think?"
"I don't know, but hope is something that people strive for.”
"A senior once told me something.”
"What words?"
"Hope is eternal in the world."
The dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the sky cleared up.
After leaving Qingchuan Restaurant, Yu Mu seemed to have a lot on his mind. Pei Shengxin didn't break the silence because he didn't know when he would see Yu Mu so silent again.
Pei Shengxin didn't want to ask what the gambler said to Yu Mu. He knew Yu Mu well. If Yu Mu wanted to say something, he would tell him without asking.
"Which clue should we investigate first?”Yu Mu said.
Silence walked faster than Pei Shengxin imagined.
Pei Shengxin glanced at Yu Mu and said," The Gate of Ten Thousand Blades is far in the northeast, while the Holy Church of Snowy Lotus is in the west. The two are thousands of miles apart." It would probably take more than half a year just to go back and forth. Moreover, it was uncertain whether the process would be smooth or not. I think we should split into two groups, each of us going to search for a clue.”
"Why do I hear that you want me to make a trip to the Western Regions?" Yu Mu asked with a sideways glance.”
"Of course you're going to the Western Regions." Pei Shengxin said.”
"Eh?" "Why?" Yu Mu stomped his feet.”
"Don't you like to hide clues?" Pei Shengxin asked. He would investigate the clues he had hidden himself.”
"You're such a well-known figure, Iron Face Constable. You wouldn't mind such a small matter, would you?" Yu Mu said carefully. Ah?"
"You should call me Blackface."”
"It's not that I don't want to go to the Western Regions, but this is a case, a big one!" Yu Mu said seriously. It wasn't something that had been decided like eating and drinking. Blackface, you're being a little hasty. Even if we split up, we have to discuss and analyze who will go to the north and who will go to the west. Isn't that right?"
"What do you think?" Pei Shengxin asked.”
"First of all, my body isn't very resistant to the cold," Yu Mu said. The Western Region was covered in snowy mountains, and the four seasons were like winter. If I go, my body will freeze and it will definitely delay my time. What do you think?"
Pei Shengxin said,"Continue."
"One more," Yu Mu said. I think these two clues are difficult and simple. The Ten Thousand Blades Gate still had traces to follow, but the Sacred Snow Lotus Cult had nowhere to go. You're the emperor's 'number one hunter in the world', so the more difficult clues should naturally be investigated by you.”
"Any more?" Pei Shengxin asked.
"Of course!" Yu Mu replied subconsciously.”
Pei Shengxin looked at Yu Mu, and Yu Mu looked at Pei Shengxin.
"Tell me," Pei Shengxin said.
"Yes, I do, but I can't say eight or ten of them." Yu Mu said.”
"So you don't have it?" Pei Sheng asked.”
"Not yet," Yu Mu replied.
"I have a few reasons too, do you want to hear them?" Pei Shengxin said.”
"You have a reason too?" "Alright then," Yu Mu said,"I'm listening."”
"First, I can help you buy warm clothes."”
"If you go to the Western Regions, I can also help you buy ten sets," Yu Mu said.”
Pei Shengxin smiled and said,"Okay, then this one doesn't count." The gambler said that Li Bai was the only one who had entered the Sacred Snowy Lotus Cult. Now, his sword is in your hands. You are the owner of the Green Lotus Sword. Treasures were sentient and would naturally protect their owners. With it by your side, you'll have a better chance of going to the Western Regions.”
"Are you Pei Shengxin?" Yu Mu asked.”
"Yes." Pei Sheng replied.
"That's strange," Yu Mu said. That gambler told me a legend from hundreds of years ago. Maybe he couldn't even fool a three-year-old child. Now you're using this as an excuse to persuade me to go to the Western Regions? Was this something Pei Shengxin could say?”
Pei Shengxin said lightly,"It's better to believe it than not."”
"Next reason, next reason." Yu Mu rubbed his neck helplessly.”
"The second one." Before the murderer is found, you are now one of the potential murderers in the martial arts world. If you go north to the Door of Ten Thousand Blades, there will be many sects along the way, and it might bring you a lot of trouble. But if you go to the Western Regions, there are few people there and it's far away from the Central Plains. No one will care about your identity.”
"What else?" Yu Mu asked.
"The third one." Pei Shengxin said. I remember that my father once said that the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect owed him a favor. It should be much easier for me to go to the Ten Thousand Blades Sect to search for clues.”
"Why is it that every sect master has some relationship with your father?”Yu Mu wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I didn't lie to you."”
"Is there a reason?" Yu Mu asked.
"No." Pei Shengxin replied.
"I thought you had eight or ten reasons." Yu Mu said.”
"It's not that I find it troublesome to go to the Western Regions," Pei Sheng said."It's just that this distribution is indeed the most time-saving and energy-saving method." The longer this case dragged on, the more troublesome it would be. If you're worried, I promise you. After I go to the Door of Ten Thousand Blades, I will immediately go to the Western Region to find you and meet up with you.。。。”
"Alright, alright, alright." Yu Mu waved his hand and interrupted Pei Shengxin.
He sighed." Alright, I'll go. I'll go, alright?"”
"Alright, we'll go to the yamen to get two fast horses, and I'll buy you two cotton-padded clothes."”
"You don't have to buy the cotton-padded clothes." How many taels of silver do you have on you?"
Pei Shengxin then remembered that Yu Mu had already emptied all his silver at the Jade Tiger Casino. Now, he only had some scattered silver left.
Yu Mu took out a banknote and handed it to Pei Shengxin,"Take this silver note. Don't make it so that you have to beg all the way to the Door of Ten Thousand Blades.”
Pei Shengxin didn't decline and accepted the silver notes from Yu Mu.
"I don't need a horse either." I want to take a boat to Hangzhou first."
"Hangzhou?" Pei Shengxin asked. What are you doing?"
"I'm worried that I didn't do well in the things that they asked me to do before," Yu Mu said. He was not at ease, so he decided to go take a look. It won't take more than a few days."
"Alright," Pei Sheng replied.
Yu Mu looked at the sky and said,"Alright." Let's part ways here."
"Take care," Pei Sheng said.
"You take care too, Blackface." Yu Mu grinned. Don't forget to look for me."
"Definitely." Pei Shengxin nodded.
Before the sun had even set, the two people who were originally traveling together had already gone their separate ways.
The farewells between men were always so short and rushed. Perhaps all farewells felt rushed at the moment of separation.
