Chapter 76: An Old Friend Comes at Night
Yuqing Mountain was not far from Xuanji Valley. The two men rode at full speed, traveling day and night, and arrived in less than four days.
Before that, the two people changed their attire.
By using the handwritten invitation from a hidden real person, he disguised himself as a member of the so-called Purple Sword Sect.
Xiling is an area with dense mountains and rivers. Even the people there, when they heard the three words "Purple Sword Sect", were not sure whether it existed or not.
If the people from the Youquan Sect in the Xuanji Valley wanted to investigate, the matter here would have been over long ago in a matter of seconds.
Therefore, they were not worried about being discovered.
"There are indeed many good players in Xuanji Valley now. Although the Qingshan Sanren just now has always been a master and a disciple, and a single lineage, he should not be underestimated.
"It's just that his disciple seems to have never been around in the martial arts world. He is so young and inexperienced that it's ridiculous."
Yang Xiaoyun checked the teapot and made sure it was non-toxic before pouring a cup of tea for Su Mo.
Su Mo took a sip and smiled slightly: "The big event in Xuanji Valley is approaching, and three days should be the deadline. But before that, I am curious, how many seniors and famous people have these monsters from Youquan Sect met in advance?"
Yang Xiaoyun thought of the two "Xuanji Valley disciples" who invited Qingshan Sanren just now, and his heart tightened: "You mean..."
"It's hard to say."
Su Mo gently rubbed his brows. "Wei Ziyi told us before that Lengyue Palace has quite detailed records of the Youquan Sect. Among them, the people with the two divisions, three flags and six orders, as well as the body-stealing order, are all proficient in the art of disguise. If Qingshan Sanren is captured by someone and then disguised by someone..."
"I suppose this method is useful occasionally."
Yang Xiaoyun frowned slightly: "Otherwise, we will be discovered."
"So the ones being targeted are sects with only a few people like Qingshan Sanren. I'm curious, besides Qingshan Sanren, have there been other people who have encountered similar things? It's better to know it early than to be passive later."
"That makes sense."
Yang Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief: "But at this point, we can't alert the enemy. We are in danger now, so we have to be more careful. Tonight, do you want to go or do I go?"
"Old rules, I'll do it."
Su Mo said: "You stay here and guard against any possible spying on them."
"good."
After the two of them talked for a while, they didn't say anything more.
We have been traveling all the way and are exhausted. We should take a rest now.
Immediately, one of them went to the bedside, and the other sat cross-legged on a stool to meditate.
When they arrived, it was already noon, and they had missed the meal. In the evening, "disciples of Xuanji Valley" came to deliver food.
After eating and drinking, it was already midnight.
Except for the chirping of insects and birds, everything in Xuanji Valley was almost completely silent.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun opened their eyes. Silently, Yang Xiaoyun took out a set of night clothes for Su Mo to change into.
"Remember to be careful and don't be careless."
"Don't worry, you wait for me here."
As Su Mo was speaking, he was about to push open the window and fly out, but suddenly he stopped and pulled Yang Xiaoyun away from the window.
Yang Xiaoyun leaned against Su Mo, her cheeks feeling slightly hot.
In the past few days, every time she got too close to Su Mo, she felt out of control.
The first time was in the main hall of Yuliu Villa, Su Mo reached out and held her hand.
At the time she thought she was poisoned.
However, over the past few days, she understood that if this was poisoning... I'm afraid Su Mo was the poison!
At this moment, I felt a little flustered for no reason and didn't know what Su Mo was trying to do.
But after a moment, when he calmed down, he understood why Su Mo suddenly retreated.
In the dark night, there were the sounds of running footsteps, and there were more than one footsteps.
It seemed like someone was running wildly in front and someone was chasing behind.
In a moment, the sound was getting closer and closer.
Su Mo's eyes turned, and he looked at the extinguished candle with his mouth twitching. He was about to use his internal force to ignite the fire with a flick of his finger.
But at this moment, the footsteps had already reached the window.
Just now Su Mo pushed the window half open, and this time the man was very rude and flew in through the half-open window.
I thought there was no one in the room, but when I looked up, I saw Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.
Three people, six eyes, looked at each other, but said in unison: "Is it you (you)?"
Su Mo didn't say much at the moment, he just raised his hand to close the window.
He glanced around the room and saw a mahogany box.
With a surge of internal force, the wooden box opened. Su Mo pressed the acupoints of the person who came, then threw the person with a look of surprise into the box and gently closed it.
He jumped onto the bed and covered himself with the quilt.
Then he winked at Yang Xiaoyun.
Yang Xiaoyun's face suddenly turned red.
Just by looking at these actions, one can already understand what Su Mo meant.
She knew from a young age that she was going to marry Su Mo. Out of curiosity, she naturally asked some mothers-in-law and maids about similar private matters.
Although she didn't react to many things in the past period of time, it was mainly because she was an unmarried girl and her face would occasionally turn red and her heart would beat fast. How could she associate it with those things?
But now seeing Su Mo being so blatant, how could he not understand?
Although it was due to some reasons and she had to act in a hurry, she couldn't help but blush, but she reacted quickly and reached out to tidy up her messy clothes and hair, giving the illusion that she was dressing in a hurry.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door and someone was knocking gently on it.
"Have you two rested? If not, could you please open the door? There is a thief visiting Xuanji Valley, and we are trying to catch him."
"wait."
Su Mo shouted while lying on the bed, then shook his clothes and made some giggling sounds.
Yang Xiaoyun secretly let out a breath and walked to the door in an impatient tone: "In the middle of the night, which thief is so blind?"
As he spoke, the door opened.
There were several "Xuanji Valley disciples" standing outside the door. When they saw Yang Xiaoyun like this, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Su Mo lying on the bed.
After looking at each other, Su Mo smiled awkwardly.
The "disciple of Xuanji Valley" also smiled, which somewhat implied that everything was said without saying anything.
Then he clasped his fists and said, "I am sorry to bother you, my distinguished guest. I came here because I was worried that the thief might disturb you... I am so rude."
As he spoke, he scanned the room carefully. Before he could say anything else, Yang Xiaoyun waved his hand:
"What a huge Xuanji Valley, what a ridiculous way of entertaining guests. No one has ever been to this room before, otherwise, how could it be possible... Humph!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
When the man heard this, he suddenly realized what was going on, apologized repeatedly, and turned to leave.
With a wave of his hand, the people outside the door followed him.
Yang Xiaoyun slammed the door shut, fully expressing the dissatisfaction of a woman whose good time was interrupted.
Only after making sure that the people outside had gone far away did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Su Mo, walked to the mahogany box and reached out to open it.
The person lying inside still had a look of surprise on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes at all, and he even felt like crying.
This person is not very old and not very handsome, but his eyes are very lively.
It was none other than the Luoxing Gate... Lou Jingjing!
