Moonlight and wind

The morning light outside the door shone on him. At that moment, Shan Zimo felt that he was so dazzling, as if he came with a sacred halo!

"Greetings, young master!" The man knelt at Shan Zimo's feet as he entered the door, then raised his head, and that familiar yet blurry face appeared in front of Shan Zimo.

"Zi Yu, why are you here?" Shan Zimo quickly stood up and helped Zi Yu up, looking him up and down, "I haven't seen you for a few months, you look more energetic!" He patted Zi Yu's muscular arm, "Did my father ask you to come?"

"That's right!" There was a hint of joy and fatigue on Zi Yu's face.

"Doesn't the hall master agree to let our young master replace young master He?" Shan Boyu hugged Ziyu's neck affectionately, and imitated Shan Zimo's behavior and pinched his arm!

"That's not the case!" Zi Yu shook his head, "I'm here for only one thing."

"What's the matter?" Everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting for Zi Yu to continue.

"It's actually nothing serious," Zi Yu lifted the bag on his back to his chest and began to search for something inside.

Shan Zimo held the bag in one hand and looked inside curiously, "What are you looking for? I'll help you find it!"

Suddenly, Zi Yu pulled out a two-finger-wide cane from his bag! He swung it in his hand, making a whooshing sound.

"What? Who are you hitting?" Yun Fei leaned back in his chair, watching the show.

Zi Yu put the bag away, ignored everyone, and glanced out the door.

"But are we setting off for Shahuang City today?" Zi Yu hung the vine at the side of his body.

"Yes!" Shan Zimo also came up and said, "If you hadn't come, I would have been on my way by now!"

Ziyu pulled Shan Zimo out. Shan Zimo thought Ziyu wanted to see him off, so he happily followed him out.

As soon as he left the gate, Zi Yu slapped Shan Zimo from behind, pushing the defenseless Shan Zimo out. Shan Zimo lost his balance and fell to the ground!

Not only did this puzzle Shan Zimo and others, but it also bewildered the people from Longxiang Villa who were waiting outside the door to see them off!

"You!" Shan Zimo was about to stand up in embarrassment, but the dense vines came towards him!

"You are unfaithful!" There was a loud bang.

"Unfilial boy!" Bang, there was another loud bang!

Zi Yu used the tone and manner of Shan Tianxiang, cursing at Shan Zimo who was rolling and dodging on the ground, while waving the rattan in his hand and hitting Shan Zimo on the body!

"Who is this? How dare he do such a cruel thing to the young master of Xueying Hall?" The disciples of Longxiang Villa discussed in low voices, and the wolf at their feet made a low howl.

"I don't know. I heard it was from Xueying Hall." The disciple touched the back of the wolf's neck, and the wolf immediately calmed down and stopped making any sound.

"Stop it now, my dear nephew!" Although He Batian didn't know the reason, he couldn't let Shan Zimo get beaten before setting off and delay his plan to go to Shahuang City, so he had to step forward in person to stop Ziyu's whipping.

Li Xin grabbed He Batian, shook his head, and said softly: "Master, you don't have to go, we can just watch!"

"What if my nephew gets hurt?"

"Master, don't worry!" Li Xin squinted his eyes and looked at Zi Yu in front of him, "What a good plan! They punished Young Master Shan for his disloyalty and unfilial behavior, but they didn't punish him for his injustice. This move is nothing more than a show by Xueying Hall for the world to see!"

"Could it be that Shan Tianxiang wanted to hit him on purpose?" He Batian crossed his arms over his chest, looking confused.

Li Xin smiled disdainfully, then immediately retracted his smile. "Master, this is Hall Master Shan trying to find an excuse for himself and the Snow Shadow Hall! If there is any change this time, it is all because of Young Master Shan's friendship with Young Master He. It is a personal act and has nothing to do with their sect!"

"This cunning old thief!" He Batian snorted coldly, "He is still so good at scheming. If it weren't for his many tricks, the number one sect in the Wu Kingdom would be my Dragon Elephant Villa now!"

Finally, Zi Yu put away the cane, put his hands behind his back, looked at Shan Zimo coldly, and got up from the ground tremblingly.

"You're really going to kill me!" Shan Zimo grimaced in pain, "At least tell me before you do it, so I can use my Turtle Spirit to block some of the damage!"

Zi Yu still looked at him coldly, "Any reputation you carry on this trip has nothing to do with Xueying Hall!"

"Okay!" Shan Zimo didn't complain at all. He patted Zi Yu's shoulder and grinned, "Try this roasted whole lamb from the Western Region before you leave. It tastes good!" Then he jumped on the horse prepared by Longxiang Villa and followed the team to Shahuang City.

"Go back?" Yun Fei asked while standing beside Zi Yu.

Zi Yu ignored him and went back to Longxiang Villa, picked up his bag and walked out again.

"Are you going back?" Xuanyue asked softly.

Zi Yu stopped and bowed, "Ms. Qi, I have something important to do. Bye!"

"This guy!" Yun Fei laughed angrily, "I think he has been in the mountains for a long time and wants to get married!"

Xuanyue and Zi Ling'er glanced at him and turned back to Longxiang Villa.

"How strange!" After seeing Shan Zimo off, the disciples of Longxiang Villa returned to the villa and couldn't help but discuss in low voices on the way.

"What's strange about that?"

"I haven't seen Mr. Lu for some time!"

The disciple next to him quickly covered his mouth, a look of fear on his face. He looked around vigilantly before letting go.

"There are many strategists in our villa who have disappeared inexplicably. I'm afraid Strategist Lu..."

"Advisor Lu has something important to do at home," Li Xin suddenly appeared from nowhere. His short stature looked even more fragile in front of this group of rugged Northwestern men. "Don't worry about me, everyone!"

The disciples of Longxiang Villa were sweating profusely and stood on both sides to make way for Li Xin. Li Xin walked between the two of them with an arrogant look, bringing with him a sinister aura that made people shudder.

"Is Miss Que here?" Qu Xuanyue, who had just returned to her residence, heard someone calling her outside the door.

Yun Fei stopped her vigilantly and went out to meet him.

"Hey! Mr. Li!" Yun Fei stopped in front of Li Xin with an unruly and even somewhat disdainful smile.

"I have come here specially to visit Miss Que, and I hope that Knight Yun will be accommodating." Li Xin bowed and saluted. His humble attitude made Yun Fei, who already hated the strategist, dislike him even more.

"You didn't come when Young Master Shan was here. Now that he's gone, you come to bother his female relatives. I'm afraid that's not a good idea!" Yun Fei crossed his hands in front of his chest, raised the end of his eyebrows, and looked at Li Xin whose eyes were rolling around.

Li Xin waved his hands quickly, "Hero Yun, you misunderstood! Back then, I entered Wudu to take the imperial examination, and was helped by Miss Qiu. But I am not talented enough to fight for an official position and serve the country of Wu. Today I came here to thank Miss Qiu. I hope that after you return to Wudu, you can tell me that I will never forget your kindness!"

"Oh!" Yun Fei suddenly realized, "You are paving a way out for yourself!"
