Moonlight and wind

"Dad has been thinking for a long time, Yue'er, I'm afraid there is no hope for you to be selected for the imperial examination now," Qu Hanlin came to Qu Xuanyue's courtyard, "but Dad still has to find you a husband who can protect you. Although the Luohui Cult doesn't know about your existence yet, Dad can't always be with you. I must find you someone you can entrust your life to, only then Dad can feel at ease!"

"Dad, Yue'er can protect herself," said Xuanyue.

"Nonsense! How can a weak woman like you who can't even tie a chicken protect yourself?" Qu Hanlin shook his head.

Suddenly, a white light flashed before his eyes, and he heard a branch of the tree beside him break and fall! He turned around and looked, "This tree should be pruned. What if it hits someone? Someone, come!"

Just as Qu Hanlin was about to call the servants to clean up the situation, he was stopped by Qu Xuanyue who was standing by.

"Father, look at this," she said, pulling off a pure white bead from the giant clam bracelet that Shan Zimo had given her, pinching the bead between her fingers and holding it between her eyes. Her tender eyes suddenly became sharp! She stretched out her hand and threw it into the distance. A white light appeared again, and the rockery not far away exploded!

"Yue'er!" Qu Hanlin was stunned by the heroic woman in front of him, "Is this still my lady from a noble family? How come you have martial arts skills?" Qu Hanlin looked at her in confusion.

"Father," Xuanyue handed over the handwritten note from her mother Hua Zhiyi, "Yue'er studied mother's handwritten note and learned some martial arts skills, but I can't say I have any martial arts skills."

"But, this martial art is not enough for you to protect yourself! And..." Qu Hanlin suddenly thought for a moment, "You'd better not show off your mother's martial arts to others. I'm afraid that if the disciples of Luohui Cult find out, you will be in greater danger, right?"

"Father..." Before Qu Xuanyue could finish his words, Qu Hanlin paced back and forth, "I think that Young Master Shan has feelings for you. Although the Xueying Hall is not as good as the Imperial City, as the number one sect, it can also intimidate the Luohui Sect." Qu Hanlin planned very seriously.

"Father! Young Master Shan is such an important person, don't tell such jokes!" Xuanyue blushed.

"Master is wise!" Zi Ling'er said with a gleam in her eyes, "Young Master Shan has saved Miss many times!"

"Look, this is a destiny destined for you two!" Que Hanlin immediately started to make plans, "Father will take care of the rest!" Having said that, he left the courtyard.

"Commander Yuan, I hope you are well. May I ask if Young Master Shan is at home?" Hanlin Qu arrived at the gate of Longyin Villa.

"It's Lord Qu," Commander Yuan stepped forward, "I wonder why Lord Qu came to visit today?"

"I have come here today to visit Young Master Shan. Commander Yuan, can you please inform me?"

"What a coincidence," Commander Yuan walked down the stairs, "Young Master Shan just left."

"When will Young Master Shan come back?"

"I don't know about this, and I'm not qualified to ask."

"Yes, yes, since Young Master Shan is not here, I will come again tomorrow." Hanlin Qu bowed and walked towards the Hanlin Mansion across Qinglong Street.

"Young Master," Shan Boyu followed Shan Zimo on horseback, "If we pay attention to what the hall master ordered us to do today, maybe we can get it done and atone for our sins, and the Zuimengxuan incident will be over."

"Let's see." Shan Zimo rode leisurely on the horse's back, "What is the origin of this Meiyeyou City?"

"I'm not too sure. Five years ago, I went there once with the young master."

“Have I been there yet?”

"That's right. At that time, Master Zhiye traveled all over Wu State in order to forge a good sword for you."

"Master Zhiye?"

"That's right, he is the master swordsmith of our sect. All the swords of our sect are made by him." Shan Boyu said proudly.

"How come I've never seen him?"

"Master Zhiye rarely stays in the sect. He travels around Wu Country, looking for good materials for forging swords. Only when he finds them will he return to the sect to forge them."

"What does this have to do with my trip to Meiyeyou City five years ago?" Shan Zimo asked.

"Five years ago, I heard that the best black iron - Moyuan Gold Stone - appeared in Meiyeyou City."

"It sounds like the name is not simple." Shan Zimo thought.

"So Master Zhiye rushed to Meiyeyou Market to get the Moyuan Gold Stone. But when he met the seller, he said he didn't want a penny, but there was a condition."

"What's the condition?" Shan Zimo asked. "The condition is to bring you to the seller!"

"What kind of condition is this? Could it be that my looks are enough to pay by face recognition?" Shan Zimo touched his face with a little pride.

Shan Boyu secretly rolled his eyes, "What is facial recognition payment?" "Don't worry about these details, just continue."

"So, Master Zhiye returned to Xueying Hall and took you to Meiyeyou City, and of course me as well." Shan Boyu smiled beautifully.

"Master Zhiye put a black gauze on our heads to cover our eyes, but we could still see the road clearly. The most interesting thing is that we put a smiling fox mask on the back of our heads. After putting on this outfit, it's like we're walking backwards."

"So, we also need that mask to enter Meiyeyou City today?"

"Don't worry, young master," Shan Boyu patted the bag on his back, "everything is ready!"

"When did you prepare it?"

"It's always been in Bai Yu's bag!"

"Why do you carry that thing around with you every day?"

"Aren't we always ready to go to Meiyeyou City?"

"Huh?" Shan Zimo looked at him in disbelief, "You have a problem!"

"What's the problem with this? These are essential items for traveling around the world, so naturally I have to carry them with me!"

"What else is in your bag?" Shan Zimo suddenly became curious.

"There's nothing left. They're just some small-time bruise pills and other stuff." As he spoke, Shan Boyu tightly grasped the knot of the bundle on his chest. He felt relieved when he felt that it couldn't be torn apart.

"According to you, my Frost and Snow Dragon Chant Blade is made of Moyuan gold and stone?" Shan Zimo asked.

"That's right!" Shan Boyu continued to recall, "Master Zhiye took a lot of effort to make that knife. It is said that on the night when it was cast, the sect suddenly heard the roar of dragons and the cry of phoenixes, and the sound resounded throughout the valley."

"So it's named the Frost Snow Dragon Chant Blade?"

"It has to be the young master, you guessed it right!" Shan Boyu said with a silly smile.

"Since there is the Dragon Roar and the Phoenix Hiccup, and we have the Dragon Roar Sword, there must also be a Phoenix Hiccup Sword?" Shan Zimo continued to ask.

"That's right! Young Master is wise!"

"Alright, there's no need to flatter me. My excellence is obvious to all!" Shan Zimo smiled crookedly, "Tell me, who has the Fengwei Knife now?"

"It is currently in the hands of Master Zhiye. The knife is very likely to belong to the young master, but we have to hold a ceremony to identify the master before we can be sure."

"What is the master recognition ceremony?"

"That knife recognizes you as its master!"

The two were chatting happily when a forest appeared at the end of the road, like a barrier covering everything behind.

"Young Master, after passing through this tree wall, the Meiyeyou City is behind it."

"Let's go in and take a look!" Shan Zimo jumped off his horse and reached out to pull away the dense branches.

"Young Master, our mission today is to go to the woods in the east to find someone. After we complete the task assigned by the Hall Master, we will go shopping again."

"It's still early, it won't be a problem to go in and take a look!"

"Young Master!" Shan Boyu wanted to hold Shan Zimo back, "You really can't go in here!"
