Chapter 232 July 15th
July 15th, the night of the full moon.
The bright moon hangs high in the empty night sky.
On every full moon night, something very unusual seems to happen.
The wind blew restlessly.
Did it smell something?
In front of a small hut.
Su Weiyun woke up from his meditation, slowly stood up and looked at the person opposite him.
The man held a pure white folding fan in his hand, and his white clothes looked as fresh as if they had just been bleached and dyed, but his face was even whiter than his clothes.
With his fair and clean face, smiling eyes and neatly trimmed beard, anyone would think he was a scholar who came to visit his friend.
But when Su Weiyun saw him, her heart sank.
A smile appeared on the scholar's face, as if he was relieved, and he said, "Finally I see you."
Su Weiyun said: "But I don't really want to see you."
The scholar waved his fan gently and said, "Why? Are you afraid that I will kidnap your wife? Hahaha, don't worry, although my last name is Ximen and I am also a playboy, I still follow the principle of 'don't cheat on your friend's wife'."
Few people know that this well-mannered, gentle and polite scholar is the leader of the "July 15th" branch of the Qinglong Society.
"Prince of the Underworld", Ximen Yu!
Su Weiyun said: "My wife and I are very far apart."
Ximen Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, I will help you find her and take good care of the lady."
Su Weiyun shook his head firmly and said, "You can't find it."
Ximen Yu's expression changed a little, and he suddenly said, "In ancient times, there was a Mr. Lin Bu who took plum as his wife and crane as his son. Have you heard of him?"
Su Weiyun asked: "What do you want to say?"
Ximen Yu said slowly: "I heard that some swordsmen regard the 'sword' they carry with them as their wife."
What he said was indeed true. Some swordsmen even regarded their swords as more important than their wives.
"You seem to be a swordsman as well."
"It seems so."
Su Weiyun smiled bitterly.
Ximen Yu walked over, gently took off the Xiaoxiang sword hanging on his waist, and took it away.
Su Weiyun did not stop him and still smiled bitterly.
Ximen Yu looked at the Xiaoxiang sword carefully in the thin moonlight, and stroked the scabbard with his white hands, as if he was stroking his lover's gentle shoulders.
"It is indeed a good sword, and indeed a good wife. I will take good care of this 'wife' for you."
Ximen Yu actually had no intention of returning the Xiaoxiang Sword to Su Weiyun .
Su Weiyun could only smile bitterly.
Apart from smiling bitterly, he couldn't do anything else.
Ximen Yu smiled softly and said, "Alas, who would have thought that the helmsman sent by Lord Dragon Claw of the Azure Dragon Society to take over would not have much martial arts skills."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as I can, I will definitely meet all your requests."
…
Of course, Su Weiyun is not incapable of martial arts.
But now he couldn't use much martial arts because he didn't have much internal strength left, and all his "wedding dress true energy" had withered away along with the withering Zen.
"To prepare wedding dresses for others", the wedding dress magic power can't be kept after all. After cultivating to the "wedding dress realm", there are only two choices, either to pass the power to others; or to waste all the power, break it and then rebuild it, and reach a higher level!
Su Weiyun spent more than a month getting familiar with the situation and polishing his Dantian. He gradually found the right path to rebuild and was able to recover a little bit of his internal strength.
Although this newfound internal strength was more refined, more agile, and more in control of the mind and hands, compared to the previous Su Weiyun, it was like the difference between a stream and the ocean.
It's OK to use it to deal with a few bandits and gangsters, but it's undoubtedly a pipe dream to defeat the leader of the Qinglong Society.
Su Weiyun estimated that it would take him at least three years to restore his internal strength to its original level.
So he originally planned to live in seclusion for three years, and wait until his magical powers were perfected, and then come out to wipe out all the demons and evil spirits in the world.
But he happened to meet the damn Liu Changjie again, and the damn Liu Changjie happened to say some incomprehensible words and gave a series of damn orders.
Then he was "invited" by Ximen Yu to come to this branch of the Qinglong Society.
Because "Lord Dragon Claw" Liu Changjie wants him to be the leader of the "July 15th" branch.
With Su Weiyun's current mentality, he would naturally refuse out loud, no matter how many times he said no.
But the people of Qinglong Society would not think so. They would only obey the orders of "Lord Dragon Claw" - as long as "Lord Dragon Claw" has spoken, then this matter often means that it must succeed!
Therefore, Su Weiyun had to become the branch leader of "July 15th".
——Then would the former leader Ximen Yu surrender easily and willingly?
——Su Weiyun only prayed in her heart that Mr. Ximen was not a rude, violent person who would draw his sword and kill people at the slightest disagreement.
…
In front of a spacious and bright house.
The sun is shining slightly and a warm breeze is blowing.
Su Weiyun and Ximen Yu sat on the left and right of a table.
Ximen Yu brewed a pot of Lu'an Guapian tea, poured a cup for Su Weiyun first, and then filled it for himself.
"This was just brought here yesterday morning by express horse from Huangshan. You may want to try it."
Su Weiyun picked up the cup, took a sip, and stopped drinking.
Ximen Yu asked quickly : "What's wrong? Does it taste bad? Or is it too hot?"
Su Weiyun said: "It tastes good and the temperature is suitable, but I'm not in the mood to drink it."
Ximen Yu asked with concern: "Why are you in a bad mood? Do you want me to ask Hongshan to dance for you?"
Miss Redwood was the top girl in the largest brothel within a radius of 300 miles. Many people spent huge sums of money just to have a dance with her.
Su Weiyun said: "I am not troubled by the lack of women."
Ximen Yu asked: "Why is that?"
Su Weiyun said: "It's because of you."
Ximen Yu hurriedly stood up, patted his sleeves, and said, "Me? Did Ximen offend you in the past few days? Tell me, and I will punish myself with twenty strokes of the cane!"
Su Weiyun said: "Oh, that's not the case. I'm afraid you take better care of me than my wife does."
Ximen Yu said: "So what mistake do you think I made?"
Su Weiyun said: "I heard that you never kill people easily."
Ximen Yu smiled and said, "I don't need to kill people myself."
Su Weiyun said: "The last time you killed someone seemed to be two years ago."
Ximen Yu narrowed his eyes, like a rattlesnake ready to strike, and said, "Oh? You are well-informed. Who told you about this?"
Su Weiyun ignored him and said, "It took you two days to kill that man. It is said that after he died, no one could recognize who he was."
Ximen Yu smiled again, a satisfied and proud smile: "That's just a rumor, I'm not that powerful."
Su Weiyun said: "Alas, I hope you won't kill me like this in the future."
"How could that be?" Ximen Yu seemed to remember something, and closed his fan and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm here to report something to you."
"What is it?"
"We have received a mission from our superiors on July 15th to send someone to assassinate Baili Changqing."
Su Weiyun said: "What does this have to do with me?"
Ximen Yu sighed and said, "This is the first mission assigned to you. If you don't do it well, the people above you will inevitably be unhappy."
Su Weiyun said: "So what if I'm unhappy?"
Ximen Yu said calmly: "You may not know yet, but we have many rules in the Qinglong Society, but the most important one is - if you don't succeed, you can only die!"
