Li Mo came out of the main hall on the main peak with a vegetable basket, preparing to return to Autumn Water Pavilion first, but as soon as he descended the main peak, he saw Xiao Qin waiting not far away.
A scar running across his eye had appeared at the corner of his eye, adding a touch of shrewdness to his composed face, but upon seeing Li Mo, he revealed his familiar smile once more.
“Wind-Cutting Broken Sword?”
Li Mo chuckled teasingly.
The Lao Xiao, who was originally an outer sect disciple on the verge of being eliminated and expelled from the sect, was now also a Prodigy on the Qianlong Ranking. Don't look at his current high ranking; that was due to a cheat.
The top hundred young talents in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were not that easy to enter.
Xiao Qin tossed him a wine flask and replied with a smile:
“Wife-Prospering...”
“Cough cough!”
“Uh, God Hammer....”
“Forget it, just call me the first one.”
Li Mo took two gulps of wine, looking at Xiao Qin with a hint of envy.
Look at him, how could his nickname be so pleasant to hear? Although Lao Xiao had barely made it onto the Qianlong Ranking, when he walked the Jianghu in the future and announced his name, everyone would be filled with reverence.
As for himself... once his name was announced, the whole place would burst into laughter...
“It's just a false reputation, why should Brother Li care? Those two nicknames are actually... quite pleasant to hear too.”
“Lao Xiao, it's hard to hold it in. If you want to laugh, just laugh.”
Li Mo sighed.
Lao Xiao had a somewhat serious personality and generally wouldn't laugh.
Unless he couldn't help it.
A moment later, Xiao Qin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and after laughing, he fell silent again. He had just gone to the main hall on the main peak and happened to learn what had transpired.
The two of them drank silently, taking sips one after another.
After drinking until his whole body felt warm, Xiao Qin finally let out a long breath of white mist:
“You're really foolish, truly. Even if that hadn't been Xiao Jiang today, you probably wouldn't have stood by and done nothing.”
“There are too many injustices in the Jianghu. If you try to manage every single one, how can you possibly manage them all? You even dared to hit the Crown Prince.”
“But I didn't hit him, did I?”
Li Mo shrugged.
Xiao Qin sighed, saying helplessly, “If you hadn't truly intended to act, why would the Controlling Mystery of the Seventh Realm have appeared?”
“Controlling Mystery, once he acts, it means destroying the heavens and annihilating the earth.”
“You've been out and seen the Jianghu, yet you're still like this...”
Xiao Qin suddenly frowned and spat, “Where did this broken gourd get sand from?!”
He put away the wine gourd and pulled out a booklet from his Pregnant.
“If you truly intend to go far away, I know a path in the Western Regions where Great Yu has no control. The local customs and traditions there are all written in this; take it back and read it.”
Leaving the booklet, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
Li Mo opened the booklet and glanced at it, then chuckled in amusement. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Xiao Qin seemed to have changed, but he was still the same Lao Xiao, still so inarticulate.
He must be wishing that one day, he could pull Jiang Yu down from the Qianlong Ranking Top, right?
The booklet clearly read:
《Thousand Forms Art》
Li Mo carefully put away the first Supreme martial art he had truly obtained without relying on the System, and then returned to Autumn Water Pavilion.
Autumn Water Pavilion had been cleaned spotlessly, everything was exactly as it was when they left.
The beautiful Master in palace attire lay on a lounge chair, sipping wine with her eyes closed. There was no sun today, so she didn't know what she was basking in.
The Ice Cube, adorned in silver, became the touch of snow within Autumn Water Pavilion. She lowered her gaze, drinking tea and reading, serene and tranquil.
“You're back.”
Shang Wu sprang up from the lounge chair and went to see what vegetables were in the basket.
Ying Bing raised her eyes, looked at Li Mo for a few seconds, then softly asked:
“Something happened?”
Li Mo: “!”
He hadn't even said anything yet!
Even the Tianming Divine Eye wouldn't be that fast!
“Yeah, and I caused quite a «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» bit of trouble.”
Li Mo nodded honestly.
“Oh?”
Shang Wu's beautiful face instantly lit up with excitement, and her gaze towards her disciple filled with gratification.
It was as if her disciple had grown up.
“What kind of trouble did you cause? Tell this Master.”
“......”
Li Mo glanced at his carefree Master and recounted the incident.
Shang Wu leaned back slightly, gave a thumbs-up, and nudged her disciple's shoulder with her elbow:
“You're something, kid. I thought you didn't like causing trouble, but who knew you'd give me such a big surprise all at once? Truly my disciple.”
“Don't get cocky, though.”
It was like a big sister praising her little brother.
Li Mo coughed lightly and naturally continued:
“Hmm, I'll continue to work hard...”
“Hmm?”
Ying Bing's serene gaze fell upon him, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
“Cough...”
Li Mo calmed down, realizing his words were inappropriate. He almost beat the Crown Prince, and he wanted to continue working hard?
Ying Bing lowered her gaze and pondered for a moment, then softly said after a while:
“Well done.”
This time, it was Xiao Li's turn to be stunned. When did the Ice Cube start praising him for causing trouble, just like Master?
Ying Bing put down her teacup and quietly said, “Many things that are bound to happen are troublesome. If you cause trouble, then you cause trouble.”
It was just the Crown Prince.
She hadn't not fought him before.
“!”
Li Mo hadn't seen that hint of domineeringness from the Ice Cube in a long time.
“Right, for example, raising an uprising.”
Shang Wu stroked her chin, her almond eyes narrowed, like a cunning strategist: “The time has come. Why don't we take this opportunity to ambush a contingent of troops on the main peak tomorrow, eliminate Jiang Yu, and then seize this chance to raise an uprising!”
“Baby Disciple, you have money and provisions, you are the God Hammer Little Overlord, and you have Little Bing'er to assist you. What great undertaking can fail?”
“Then Master, what part will you primarily be responsible for?”
Li Mo's mouth twitched slightly.
Shang Wu said as if it were obvious: “Don't you know that uprisings need a legitimate reason?”
“So?”
“I'll be your Supreme Emperor, then you'll have a legitimate reason!”
“......”
Li Mo suddenly felt that Elder Han He's suggestion to first get Master drunk and lock her up wasn't entirely due to personal grudge.
He silently took out two bottles of immortal's intoxication and handed them to Shang Wu.
“I'm a little hungry.”
When Ying Bing said this, her jade-like face seemed to show a bit more seriousness.
The kitchen of Autumn Water Pavilion welcomed its Chef Li once again.
She gazed at the cooking smoke rising from the kitchen, her ice-mirror eyes slightly narrowed.
“Jiang Yu has two sword attendants by his side: one is Qingque, the other is Danzhi. Both hail from Tianshan Sword Manor, understand combined attack techniques, and are ranked on the Human Ranking.”
“Fighting two against one, how many moves can they withstand?”
“My current Realm is still too low... There are still many things I can't do...”
Ying Bing picked up Heavenly Frost and Mid-Moon Yin, and began to dance lightly in the courtyard, facing the moonlight that had just fallen.
The sword moves she used with her left and right hands were actually completely different, poles apart.
