The Young Swordsman: The Taoist Priest of Qingcheng Has Descended the Mountain

Lei Wujie, on the other hand, had just been excited about Zhou Zhenhuan's move and wanted to see it for himself, but now he had forgotten about it and was eating heartily with a hearty appetite.

As for the bowl of plain noodles, it was placed aside and did not attract the attention of this blockhead.

"We ate, we drank, and we met people."

This meal isn't cheap, but unfortunately, I'm penniless.

This little idiot probably can't afford this meal.

In short, Lei Wujie suddenly didn't find the meat appealing anymore.

Xiao Se's eyelids twitched: "Even if you are a master from Qingcheng Mountain, it's still inappropriate for someone to dine and dash, isn't it?"

"Who said I ate and dashed? Wasn't it Lei's kid who treated me?"

I'm just saying this to give you a heads-up.

But don't worry, even though this kid is broke right now, he won't renege on his debt."

Xiao Se: Listen to me, thank you. I didn't want to be mentally prepared for this at all.

Hearing his name, Lei Wujie looked up from his food, but didn't quite catch what the senior had said. He just nodded vigorously and patted his chest.

"A man of the martial world values ​​loyalty above all else; I'm not the kind of person who would renege on a debt."

Xiao Se rolled his eyes at him; this guy was not only a blockhead but also a glutton.

It looks like we won't be receiving this money today.

There have been times when people dined and dashed, refusing to pay.

But in the end, they obediently paid the money.

Because Boss Xiao is also very good at winning people over with virtue. With a rolling pin in hand, anyone who dares to dine and dash at Snowfall Manor will end up crawling away.

Boss Xiao was extremely skilled with a stick. He once had a stick named Wuji.

But today's situation is clearly different.

Because he couldn't beat them.

Not only could they not beat this mysterious Qingcheng charlatan, but they also couldn't defeat this gluttonous simpleton.

The Lei family disciples, though skilled in swords and sabers, are unparalleled in firearms.

If a real fight breaks out, although I won't be injured by this idiot, I can only rely on my unparalleled lightness skill to dodge.

Therefore, Xiao Se felt relieved.

Zhou Zhen seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and smiled as he tapped on the table, thus regaining Xiao Se's attention.

Only then did he calmly get up and stand in front of the window where Xiao Se often enjoyed the view.

Of course, Mr. Xiao might not be looking at the scenery, but rather at the fact that he can clearly see if any guests are coming from here.

"The scenery of Snowfall Villa is indeed beautiful, but after looking at it for a long time, it inevitably becomes too monotonous."

Mr. Xiao, it's time for you to leave Snowfall Manor.

Your destiny has begun.

This bustling world is waiting for you.

“Oh? Fate? You people of Qingcheng Mountain firmly believe in this, but I, Xiao Se, do not.”

Zhou Zhen didn't refute it; instead, he nodded obediently.

“You have the right not to believe, but can you let go of what you want to take back?”

"This Snowfall Villa is lovely, but how long can your heart escape here?"

Xiao Se felt that Zhou Zhenhuan's eyes were frighteningly bright, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Xiao Se also knew that this inexplicable charlatan did indeed have the ability to see through people's hearts.

He remained silent for a long while before raising his wine glass: "Senior, do you know what I want? Is the divination art of Qingcheng Mountain so powerful that it can predict the fate of the world?"

He then downed the drink in one gulp. Peach blossom wine is supposed to be an elegant drink, but when it went down his throat, it tasted bitter, like a knife stabbing his throat.

Of course he can't let go. He's never been able to let go all these years, and he doesn't want to.

Some things always need to be done and persevered with by someone.

"You've misunderstood. We people of Qingcheng Mountain aren't so carefree. What does the world have to do with us?"

To put it bluntly, I'm the only one who's not really free.

That's all I have to say. Now that we've met, we should leave a small gift.

Raimon kid, you treated me to dinner, I should at least repay you.

The fire-burning technique you practice is extremely powerful and yang, but it can burn your heart meridians and poses endless hidden dangers.

As the saying goes, "Isolated yin cannot grow, isolated yang cannot be born." The way of martial arts also emphasizes the cooperation of dragon and tiger, and the harmony of yin and yang. You and I... well, we are destined to meet, so I will pass on to you a set of Ice Heart Techniques.

Combined with your fire-burning technique, it might have unexpected effects. "I think my sister-in-law won't think I'm stingy anymore."

The Fire Scorching Technique ignites the fire in the heart, like firewood, which will eventually burn out. The Ice Heart Technique, however, is like a continuous source of nourishment, nurturing the fire in the heart without causing it to go out of control.

Before Lei Wujie could speak, Zhou Zhenhuan pointed out with his finger. Lei Wujie felt his head go blank for a moment, then his mind cleared. He found that a profound internal energy technique had appeared in his mind. It could complement the Fire Scorching Technique and enhance it by 50%. He was overjoyed.

But when he opened his eyes, he found that Boss Xiao was leaning against the window, his hands in his sleeves, staring out the window in a daze.

The food on the table had long since gone cold and frozen.

That senior has disappeared without a trace.

"Boss Xiao, where is the senior?"

"Gone? Where did they go?"

Xiao Se turned around, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and snorted, "How could I possibly know about such a master who comes and goes like the wind?"

However, there is one thing I am very clear about.

"That's you. You owe me one hundred taels for a meal and drinks."

"What? One hundred taels? This is a rip-off!"

"Huh? A black market shop? You idiot, do you know that the peach blossom wine you're drinking is made from peach blossoms in March, then soaked in wild honey that has been aged for three years, and then brewed with peach blossom snow for three years? A pot of this wine is worth thirty taels of silver."

You drank three whole jars of wine by yourself.

Furthermore, regarding this cherry cheese, the cherries are ripe and preserved to this day, requiring freezing with ice. Only one in ten can be preserved. Do you know the effort and cost involved?

And then there's this shower of falling petals...

"Taking you one hundred taels is already a favor to you, senior."

Xiao Se's calculations were deafening, accompanied by a roar.

Finally, he said casually, "That senior said you'll take the blame for this debt. In addition, I'll be accompanying you to Snow Moon City to collect the debt, plus five hundred taels of interest."

If you're not satisfied, you can take to Mount Qingcheng.

"Anyway, I can't afford to offend you. Your Raimon family is powerful and wealthy; perhaps you could give it a try?"

Lei Wujie lost his temper. He thought of the incantation passed down by his senior, which must be extremely precious. He also felt that a mere few hundred taels of silver was not enough to repay the debt. But then he suddenly remembered something: "How did you know I was going to Snow Moon City?"

Xiao Se yawned listlessly: "You'll have to ask that person. That diviner is someone I, Xiao Se, truly admire."

Chapter 8 The Moon Princess of the Underworld

Having secured Lei Wujie's favor, even though it was only a verbal agreement, there was no fear that the kid would go back on his word.

The disciples of Lei Family Fortress always had some reputation and credibility.

Xiao Se was only thinking about what that person had said before leaving.

"Your injury, to me, is like the snowflakes outside the window, drifting between heaven and earth, seemingly containing the power of heaven and earth, freezing heaven and earth."

But once it touches your hand, you can easily dissolve it.

For me, dealing with you is a piece of cake.

However, your destiny is not in my hands. If I were to intervene, I would be blocking your path.

You have your own destiny.

When the time is right, though there may be much suffering, things will eventually take a turn for the better.

Of course, I am not a stingy person. I will lend you a wisp of true energy. If necessary, it can help you surpass your peak for half an hour. If I sense it, I will save your life. If I cannot arrive in time, your life may be in danger. Therefore, please do not use it lightly.

Then, right before his eyes, that person vanished into the world as if transformed into a gentle breeze, disappearing into the heavens and earth as if they had never existed.

Xiao Se is a worldly man; he possesses the best lightness skill in the world.

He was also well-versed in various body techniques.

This kind of movement technique is unheard of.

He asked the senior who claimed to be surnamed Zhou, and only one sentence came from the wind: "Liezi rode the wind, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening. The mysteries of heaven and earth are endless. This is riding the wind."

The true energy within his body actually suppressed the hidden meridian injury, making him feel much more relaxed.

Are there really such extraordinary people in the world who can ride the wind and travel all over the world?

It's truly captivating.

Xiao Se also knew that the Qingcheng disciples cultivated the Dao and believed in the Dao of Heaven. If he said he could not save him, he would never heal himself.

Very well, I have already received a debt of gratitude as vast as the sea.

Zhou Zhen was not trying to show off or pretend to be profound.

Because he was telling the truth.

A sword, a good sword, must undergo countless forgings and countless honings before it can reveal its sharpness.

Throughout history, how many successful people have gone through what? If the circumstances were different, would the outcome still be the same?

Once Xiao Se recovers from his injuries, will he still follow the same path?

Zhou Zhenhuan has courted death many times over the years, including when he tried to kill his junior brother's destiny, but he never died.

But today, when he injected the first wisp of true energy into Xiao Se's body, he had a vague premonition that the Heavenly Dao would turn against him.

As expected, Xiao Se is the true protagonist of this world.

As for his junior brother, that was just a side matter.

Although Zhou Zhenhuan felt that he was invincible in the world, he still had some power to resist the ethereal Heavenly Dao.

But three points is not ten.

Zhao Yuzhen's story revolves around only one person, one relationship, and one life-or-death situation.

He and Zhao Yuzhen were both from Qingcheng and were fellow disciples. They grew up together and their fates were intertwined from a young age.

So be it, I'll just cut him off. At most, I'll just cough up a few mouthfuls of blood.

Unlike Xiao Se, he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, a true destiny that cannot be easily interfered with.

Zhou Zhenhuan lay on the lion's back, a plum blossom between his teeth, gazing at the gray sky, lost in thought.

If forced intervention is taken, the situation will likely be more serious than just vomiting blood.

However, the way of Heaven is flawed, and there are still loopholes that can be exploited.

For example, save them when they are about to die.

For example, they could first beat up their enemies.

Zhou really thought he was incredibly clever.

In the desolate wilderness, snow fell heavily.

A horse-drawn carriage, inside which was a coffin.

A man was sitting in the carriage, drinking.

"Newly brewed wine, green as ants; a small red clay stove, glowing with warmth. Evening approaches, and snow is imminent. Shall we share a cup?"

"Brother, you have a fine taste. We can drink this wine, but you must leave your belongings behind."

Tang Lian remained noncommittal, swirled her wine glass, and sneered, "You all followed me all the way, in this freezing weather, you must have had a hard time."
