When everyone arrived at the He family's residence, the butler saw that the young lady had returned and hurriedly reported to Mrs. He. Then, he came back to help them lead the horses around the street gate and back. When they entered the inner courtyard, He Yufu had already lost her voice and threw herself into her mother's arms. She looked at the two of them hugging each other and crying bitterly. Then she saw their haggard appearance, especially Mrs. He. Ever since her beloved daughter disappeared, she probably hadn't had a good night's sleep. The few of them then thought of how Young Master Duanmu had been deaf and mute for more than twenty years. In fact, how could Young Master Duanmu not be pitiful? Everyone was very emotional.
After the mother and daughter had cried enough, Mrs. He was about to kowtow to them, but Zhao Yumei stopped her. Zhao Yumei smiled and said,"Furen really doesn't need to be so polite. If you want to thank us, just instruct the servants to prepare delicious food to entertain us. We eat in restaurants every day, so our mouths are already bland.”
" Of course, of course," Mrs. He said." I can't repay you for saving my life. I'll definitely treat you well."”
Everyone waited in the hall for a long time before the dishes and wine were finally served. It was a sumptuous meal with chicken, duck, and fish. When everyone sat down, He Yufu was not there. Madam He was about to call her daughter when a beautiful figure walked into the hall. She was wearing a green gauze dress and had a horse-like bun on her head with a green jade hairpin. Her hair was as black as ink, her eyebrows were thin, her delicate nose was fine, and her thin cherry lips were red. Although her eyes were a little red and swollen, they were still as bright as stars. Her chin was slightly pointed, her jade-like neck was round, and her chest was perky. She had a slender waist and long legs. Her skin was as white as jade, and the light yellow undergarment could be vaguely seen from her emerald green gauze dress. When she walked, her twin peaks rose and fell faintly. Everyone's eyes lit up. They were stunned. What a beautiful woman!
"This child," said Mrs. He,"she went to dress up as soon as she got home. She made the guests wait. She really doesn't know manners!"”
He Yufu walked over and said coquettishly,"Mother, it's rude of your daughter to greet guests in such a mess just now."”
"Nonsense!" Madam He chided. Hurry up and sit down. What's wrong with you?”
Zhao Yu frowned." She is indeed the Jade Girl of Huashan. She is like a flower, and her words are like jade. I really pity her!"”
He Yufu quickly sat down and said softly," In terms of beauty, how can I compare to Sister Zhao? Sister Zhao is truly a national beauty."”
When the two beautiful souls heard that even He Yufu had such a high evaluation of Zhao Yumei, they sized Zhao Yumei up and thought,""Lady He is right. Sister Zhao is indeed a celestial! I can't compare to him at all."
Xu Zhutao felt proud when he heard the beauty praise his sweetheart."Doesn't that mean that I have good taste?”Then, he looked at everyone one by one. He saw that all of them were beautiful, and each of them was different from the others. Each of them had their own beauty. Even Mrs. He, although her face was very haggard, had another kind of beauty. She immediately felt that she was extremely happy to be among the flowers. He said,"Everyone has their own beauty, each of you is beautiful, just like the spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each of you is good at winning."”
"I…I'm beautiful too?" Ding Ling asked in surprise.”
"Of course she's beautiful," Xu Zhutao said."Only ordinary people judge a book by its cover."”
"Elder Sister, Hero Xu is right. We don't think you're ugly." Ding Feng smiled mysteriously.”
"Alright, alright, let's eat. The dishes are getting cold!" Zhao Yu advised.”
After everyone ate for a while, He Yufu picked up her wine glass and stood up.""I have no way to repay everyone for saving my life. Let me toast everyone first!”As he spoke, he took a glass of wine and drank it.
He poured another cup and said," Hero Xu, you're a righteous person who saved this little girl from fire and water. Let me toast you!”Xu Zhutao quickly stood up and drank as well.
He Yufu poured another cup and said to Zhao Yu,""Sister Zhao, you're resourceful and resourceful. You saved this little girl from all kinds of difficulties.”Zhao Yumei quickly stood up and drank as well.
She poured another cup and said to Ding Ling,""Sister Ding, let me toast you too!”As he spoke, he finished it.
Ding Ling stood up and smiled." One is eager for justice and the other is resourceful. What am I then?"”
He Yufu said,"Sister Ding, you're doing a good deed. Hehe!"”Only then did Ding Ling drink it.
She poured another cup and said to Ding Feng,"Sister Ding, let me toast you too!"”
Ding Feng stood up and said," I'm not in a hurry to drink. Perhaps you've called me Sister Ding wrongly. I'm only eighteen this year. What about you?"”
He Yufu said," I'm nineteen. Sister Ding, please forgive me. I'll toast you!"”After saying that, he drank it.
However, Ding Feng did not agree. She said coquettishly,"One is eager for justice, one is resourceful, and the other is brave. What about me?"
He Yufu said,"Sister Ding, you stepped forward, hehe!"”Only then did Ding Feng drink.
When everyone saw He Yufu's pink face turn red after drinking a few glasses of wine, they couldn't bear it. Ding Ling recalled how her younger sister had been charmed the moment she made a move. Now that He Yufu said that she had stepped forward, she couldn't help but laugh.
Mrs. He did not understand and quickly asked,"Miss Ding, did Fu 'er say something wrong?"”
" Hahaha!" Ding Ling laughed loudly." Younger Sister He is right. My younger sister has indeed stepped forward. It's just that…Hahaha!"”
Zhao Yumei couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it. He told Mrs. He about it, but Ding Feng didn't agree. She pinched Ding Ling, who was sitting next to her, and wanted to hit her.
Seeing that Ding Feng was embarrassed, Mrs. He comforted her,"Miss Feng was just careless in the face of the enemy, it's not that her skills are inferior to others. The tricks of the underworld are hard to guard against. I think Miss Feng's skills are also very good.”
" That's right," Ding Feng said." I can kill those thieves with one sword strike. I won't be fooled like this again!"”
Xiao Lan had been serving everyone. Xu Zhutao only realized that she was not sitting with him when he heard her laughter. In fact, in ancient times, the maidservants of rich families were not allowed to eat with their masters. Their status was extremely low, but Xu Zhutao did not know the rules of these rich families. After all, he had just left the mountain not long ago and had not seen enough of the world. Moreover, he felt that people could not be divided into three, six, and nine grades.
"Xiaolan, what are you standing there for? Come and eat."”
" You guys go ahead, Hero Xu," Lan said timidly." I'll eat later!"”
"Then how can we let you watch us eat? Come on!" Xu Zhutao said.”As she spoke, she felt Zhao Yu pull her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't know what it meant.
" Xiaolan, please come and sit down," Madam He said." You must listen to Young Master Xu's orders."”
He Yufu personally got up and added a chair beside her. She pulled Xiao Lan over to sit down and told her to eat quickly. She sat down as well.
He Yufu poured himself another glass of wine and said to Xu Zhutao,""Hero He, Xiaolan and I are like sisters and have always treated her well. How about I toast you again?" As he spoke, he drank it.
"Miss He, you'll get drunk if you drink like this!" Xu Zhutao said.”He also drank a cup.
He Yufu said," I'm very happy today. Everyone saved my life, and it's such a good night. It's fine to get drunk!"”
During the banquet, the cups and plates were in a mess. He Yufu drank a lot, and Xu Zhutao also drank a lot. Everyone drank a lot. Everyone was drunk, and they were a little unrestrained. There were also fewer scruples in their words.
"Miss Ding, I once met you and your sister at an inn in the north of the Great Wall. What business do you have there?" Xu Zhutao asked Ding Ling.”
Ding Ling said," That time, we were chasing after an enemy. That enemy had plotted against my father and uncle. My father and uncle were seriously injured and it took them a few years to recover. We followed him to Anding. Later, that thief ran to the stone tower in Shanxi. That thief was really cunning. Later, he ran back to Weinan. It was that time that we heard Sister He's zither music.”
At this moment, Mrs. He had already heard about their search for her daughter. She could not help but sigh,"The heavens truly have pity on me. If it wasn't for the heavens intentionally letting Lady Ding hear that zither sound, I don't know when I would have been able to save her. That Young Master Zhu is also very intelligent. That day when he came to my house, he immediately gave me the correct clue.”
Zhao Yu frowned." Mrs. He, your husband went out to look for his daughter. Now that Sister He has returned safely, we have to find a way to get him home as soon as possible!"”
"That's exactly what I was thinking," said Madam He. I will try to inform him."
Xu Zhutao also sighed with emotion." It's true that Jianghu is dangerous. When I was a bodyguard for the Wuwei Bodyguard Agency, there were several groups of people who wanted to rob me on the way. Especially in Shanyang, there were even several groups of people who came together to rob me. Hmph!”He seemed to be deliberately bringing up this topic. He already knew that the two dead souls had come to Guo Shanyang that day.
"Shanyang, rob the darts!" Ding Ling exclaimed in surprise. Are you saying that you were robbed in Shanyang? One of our disciples reported that he saw a escort team the other day. I didn't expect it to be you.”
Xu Zhutao told him about the situation of the robbery.
"Young Master Xu, your kung fu is so strong, why do you want to be a bodyguard?" Ding Feng asked in surprise.”
Xu Zhutao sighed and said,"Alas, I've run out of money, so I have to do it!"”
He Yufu was also surprised." Hero He, you're going to be a bodyguard for money?" she asked.”
Xu Zhutao said," Of course. I can't steal or rob. Besides, I don't have any foundation when I first came to Jianghu. I'm afraid that Chaoyun is the most valuable thing I have now."”
Ding Ling knew that the Chaoyun he was talking about was his white horse. She asked,""Young Master Xu, was your horse really a gift from Sunset Horse Farm?”
"Of course!" Zhao Yu said proudly."Even my Lianyun was a gift from Sunset Horse Farm!"”
Ding Feng took advantage of the alcohol to size up Xu Zhutao. She found that his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were like cold stars, his nose was high, and the tip of his nose was slightly curved down. His lips were thin, and his face was like jade. He was eight feet tall and his hands were slender. He looked handsome and unrestrained. She muttered," Eight feet tall, handsome young hero…"
"Sister, are you seeing a ghost?" Ding Ling said.”
Ding Feng had a mysterious look on her face as she pointed at Xu Zhutao and said,"Of course it's a ghost. Look, isn't that it! Humph!"
"Sister, are you crazy?" Ding Ling asked.”
" Sister, you're so stupid," Ding Feng said." I've already made it so clear, but you still can't tell?" Or are you really drunk?"
"I'm not drunk. You're the one who's drunk, sister!" Ding Ling said.”
"Didn't you ask why Sunset Horse Farm gave him such a good horse?" Ding Feng asked. Look at him. He's eight feet tall, young…and handsome.”
Ding Ling sized up Xu Zhutao again and found that her sister was right. She said in surprise,"You! It was you, you killed Gong Ao? How is that possible?"
He Yufu was puzzled." I've heard of the Gong Ao you're talking about. He's a demon. I heard that 30 years ago, he proposed to Yu Rui, the female Daoist of Kunlun Mountain. After he was rejected, he offered a huge reward for Yu Rui's portrait. It's said that he hung Yu Rui's portrait in his bedroom and fantasized about it day and night.”
"That's right!" Ding Ling said. But you don't know that Old Devil Gong Ao is already dead. He was killed by a young and handsome young hero who was eight feet tall!”
"Ah!" He Yufu was surprised. Then why didn't I know?"
" Sister He," Ding Feng said," you were still imprisoned in the old mansion in Weinan at that time. How did you know?"”
Ding Feng told him about Gong Ao's legendary deeds in the pugilistic world. She also told him about how Gong Ao had led his disciples to Sunset Horse Farm not long ago to kidnap Fairy Yunmeng, but in the end, they had all been wiped out. He Yufu couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's good that such a bad person is dead!" Mrs. He said.”
He Yufu said," That's right. It's good that the old devil is dead. But I still don't quite understand what you're saying. What do you mean by eight feet tall, young and handsome?”
"Sister, you saw someone even dumber than me, right?" Ding Ling shook her head.”
Ding Feng also shook her head and said," That's right, Sister. Finally, there's someone who's even dumber than you. But you can't blame Sister He. After all, some people like to hide their true colors and hide their true colors!”
"No one asked me," Xu Zhutao said."Besides, I can't shamelessly say that I'm young and handsome. Don't you think so, Cousin?"”
"Yeah, this kid isn't a liar." Zhao Yu nodded. It's just that I still say it occasionally!"
"Have the two of you heard about Old Devil Gong Ao's death?" Ding Ling asked sarcastically. It was said that Gong Ao had mobilized the entire Purgatory Valley to snatch Fairy Yunmeng when he saw her portrait, but in the end, all of them were wiped out. Sigh! It's really a knife in the head of lust." These words were really what Xu Zhutao said to the two beauties of the dead yesterday.
"What a good liar!" Ding Feng said angrily.”
"What kind of riddles are you guys talking about?" He Yufu asked anxiously.”
"You're really stupid," Ding Feng said."The person who killed Gong Ao is right here in front of you! Humph, no wonder you said you met us sisters at the stable inn. It turns out that you were going to Sunset Horse Farm at that time.”
He Yufu finally understood and asked,""Hero Xu, did you really kill Gong Ao?”Xu Zhutao was so young, and Gong Ao, that old devil, had been famous for many years. It was unbelievable that Xu Zhutao could defeat Gong Ao.
"I did kill Gong Ao, but I was also seriously injured," Xu Zhutao said.”
"You're finally willing to admit it!" Ding Ling said angrily. If you didn't ask, you would've kept pretending, right?”
"No," Xu Zhutao said. It's just that I've just come out of the martial arts world and am still young. No one will believe me even if I say it. I haven't even gotten a nickname yet!”
Ding Feng said," Young Master Xu, your Chao Yun is a divine horse. He will definitely accompany you for a long time in the future. How about I call you Young Master White Horse?"”
"I think so." Ding Ling nodded.”
He Yufu also nodded.”
"I think it's not bad either!" Mrs. He said.”
"Young Master Xu will look even more elegant when he rides a white horse in white," Xiao Lan said.”
Everyone looked at Zhao Yumei.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Zhao Yu asked. Call me whatever you want."
"So, do I…have a nickname?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
Everyone snorted and ignored him.
The joyous gathering lasted until 11 o'clock. Under Mrs. He and He Yufu's attentive urging, the few of them stayed in the He family. The four of them were arranged to live in the back of the house. There were three rooms. The leftmost room was Zhao Yumei's, the middle room was bigger, and the right room was Xu Zhutao's. Of course, the room on the right was facing the small side room on the east side of the main room. On the right side of the small side room was the passageway and small courtyard leading to the inner courtyard.
It was late at night and there was no sound. Xu Zhutao couldn't fall asleep. When he walked to the courtyard, his thoughts were in turmoil. He missed Wu Mountain and thought of all the experiences since he left the mountain. He helped Shangguan Wanqian a little at the Buried Sword Lake and was a bodyguard with Peng Zhengyi. That bodyguard had an accident and it was resolved calmly. Then, he met Zhu Xuan, went to Sunset Horse Farm, killed Gong Ao, and now saved Huashan Jade Girl. Many things appeared in his mind, but he seemed to have no goal. What was waiting for him next? Could it be that he had returned to Wu Mountain? He was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing. It was coming from the small penthouse opposite his room. There was a window facing his room, and the window was not closed now. Light shone through the window. "Could it be that He Yufu is taking a bath?" He thought of the beauty of He Yufu, who had specially dressed up before dinner, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burning sensation. He walked over by accident. He was eight feet tall, so he could naturally see inside. He saw a beautiful woman sitting in the bathtub with her back facing him. Her skin was snow-white, and the autumn water was like divine jade. Then, he saw a pair of slender hands reaching out and scooping up water in front of her chest. He repeated it a few times. Then, he used his right hand to wipe his left arm and left forearm, and then used his left hand to wipe his right arm and right forearm. Beautiful hands, slender and fair fingers. She crossed her palms and wiped her back. Then, her hands seemed to be placed on her chest and rubbed for a while." Mm," she couldn't help but make a very soft sound. Xu Zhutao felt that he couldn't watch any longer. If he continued to watch, he would definitely make a mistake. He should go back to the restaurant to stay tonight. He quickly tiptoed back to his room and gently closed the door.
