Laughing, the host always wants to escape

Chapter 173: The Jianghu in the Wine and Sword Village (16)

"Ten miles to the east, we will pass a Zuihua Pavilion. After passing that pavilion, we will basically reach the territory of Ku Luo Men." Yu Feng's eyes unconsciously glanced at Jiang Sichen, and then retracted them as if nothing had happened.

At dusk, everyone arrived at Zuihua Pavilion. The ten-mile lotus flowers were particularly red in the sun. The flowers bloomed quietly and spread out on both sides, looking extremely beautiful.

On a large rock in the middle of the lotus pond, a young man in white clothes was sitting. He was leaning against the rock with a fishing rod in one hand, looking very comfortable.

"No, the world is so chaotic, how can he still be in the mood to fish?"

"Yes, it is true that a full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man. This young man really does not worry about the affairs of the martial arts world at all."

As if he heard a sound behind him, the man glanced at a few people, then stood up, stepped lightly on the pumice stone, and in a few moments he was beside them.

The young man in white bowed and saluted, then said, "I guess you are the guests of Ku Luo Clan. My father asked me to wait for you here. Thank you for your hard work in coming from afar."

"Are you the son of Sect Master Li Xiuzhu? You have grown up so well, with a handsome appearance and outstanding temperament." Old Xu smiled, then raised his hand to stroke his beard.

"My name is Li Huaiyu. I'm twenty-one this year. You'd better follow me inside the gate first. It's not safe here." After he finished speaking, Li Huaiyu led a few people to a small path on the side.

As night fell, the interior of Ku Luo Gate became very lively. Li Xiuzhu personally hosted a banquet to entertain everyone and also to calm them down.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. I never thought that after decades, Xie Youlin would return to the martial arts world and commit such evil deeds. We in the martial arts world must not sit idly by and wait for death. We must find a way to eliminate this bad trend."

Listening to the heroic oaths of each person, Tang Cuo couldn't help but feel a little suffocated in his heart. He stood up and whispered in Jiang Sichen's ear, "I'll go out for a while."

As soon as he stopped talking, Tang Cuo stood up and walked out the door. Seeing this, Yu Feng at the side asked quietly, "Why? You're not going to chase after him?"

"Quiet, can't you shut your mouth even if you eat?"

"I find this kind of meal served by decent people boring. Forget it, I'll go out for a while too." Yu Feng curled his lips, then stood up and followed Tang Cuo out.

Tangcuo walked aimlessly to a tree, then sat down beside it, looking up at the hazy moonlight in the sky.

"Young man, why don't you go to the reception room? Why stay here?"

Hearing a sound behind him, Tang Cuo came to his senses and looked back.

The person who spoke was the one who had just led them in. Tang Cuo pursed his lips and replied, "There are too many people in the room. It's a bit stuffy, I just came out to get some fresh air. Where's Mr. Li?"

"Me? I just don't want to listen to their useless words. Everyone is angry and indignant, but in the end, it still requires us to take action." Li Huaiyu walked to Tang Cuo's side and sat down with him.

"..." You don't need to tell me this kind of thing...

"What's your name, young man?"

"Tangcuo is a ranger with no status and no martial arts skills."

"This introduction is quite interesting. Where do you live?" Li Huaiyu asked with interest.

"Home? I don't know. I may have some amnesia and don't remember many things." Tang Cuo scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thoughtful enough."

"It's okay." Tang Cuo shook his head indifferently.

"Mr. Tang, are you going back?" Li Huaiyu looked back at the brightly lit reception room.

"No, there's no point for me to go back. I have no strategy and no martial arts. It's better for me to stay outside for a while." Tang Cuo pursed his lips.

"Then...Mr. Tang, why don't you come with me to a place and I'll show you the beautiful scenery of the Withered Gate?"

"Uh...is that too intrusive?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't want to get involved in their affairs anyway."

"Okay then." Tang Cuo stood up and followed Li Huaiyu.

Behind the two of them, two pairs of black eyes fell on them. Yu Feng said with interest, "Brother Jiang, your little white rabbit is about to be kidnapped. Why don't you go out and claim your sovereignty? As long as you give the order, I will lead the brothers of Jie Youlin to bloodbath this Ku Luo Sect. How about it?"

"If you are so leisurely, go back to your Southeast Sword Cave."

"It's just a joke, why are you so angry? Jiang Sichen, this is really unlike you in previous years. In previous years, it seemed that nothing could stir your emotions. You seemed to be planning all the time, but what exactly are you planning?" There was a scrutinizing light in Yu Feng's eyes, and then he returned to normal.

"Anyway, I don't care what you think. You took me in when I was in the most difficult time. I owe you my life."

"so what?"

"But I don't plan to pay it back." Yu Feng laughed a few times, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "This world is unfair, everyone is doing it for themselves, how many of them are doing it for justice?"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Feng walked back to the conference room.

Jiang Sichen looked at the direction where Tang Cuo and Li Huaiyu left, and followed them quietly.

Li Huaiyu brought Tang Cuo to the back of a rockery, where there grew a red plum tree. It was in full bloom before winter, which surprised Tang Cuo.

"What kind of red plum is this? How come it's already in full bloom before winter?"

"This red plum is called Spring Plum, a kind of plum that blooms at the junction of spring and summer. It is very difficult to cultivate. I planted ten, but only this one survived." Li Huaiyu chuckled.

"It's really beautiful." Tangcuo exclaimed sincerely.

Li Huaiyu took a step to the right and then shouted into the darkness, "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"

"Coming? What's coming?" Tangcuo immediately turned his head and looked around.

Hearing the footsteps approaching from afar, Tang Cuo became more and more nervous. It was not until he saw the figure of that person that he felt relieved. "Brother Jiang, you are here too?"

"know?"

"Well, I came here with him."

Tang Cuo walked quickly to Jiang Sichen's side, then grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother Jiang, look, these plum blossoms blooming in the summer are magical, aren't they?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Sichen's gloomy expression brightened up a bit, "It's really magical."

Then he turned his gaze to Li Huaiyu who was standing beside him, and scanned him up and down, "Jiang Sichen."

"Li Huaiyu." After hearing him introduce himself, Li Huaiyu also introduced his name again, "This man looks very impressive, but who is his master?"

"If you just practice casually and don't have a master, you will naturally be no match for Master Li."
