Shi Guanyin and Chu Liuxiang didn't give in to each other and sneered at each other. They were not satisfied with what they had just discussed.
At this moment, they suddenly looked at each other in the eye again.
Very good!
The two of them felt that they could continue to quarrel.
The sun shone brightly until midnight. During this time, the pot of tea had been changed three or four times. Nangong Ling, who was sitting at the back of the table, couldn't help but feel sleepy. He nodded his head and closed his eyes tightly. He didn't know why he was nestled in his brother's arms.
No Flower's expression didn't change. He put his palms together and sat cross-legged. He relaxed his shoulders slightly so that Nangong Ling could sleep more comfortably. Then, he closed his eyes and continued to chant.
Shi Guanyin had just agreed on her price, but before she could finish speaking, the rascal in front of her immediately interrupted her. She was very unhappy, but because of Xie Lige, who was sitting beside her, she silently clenched her fists in her sleeves.
Sooner or later, she would beat this rascal to death!
Chu Liuxiang was originally quite satisfied with his performance. That was Shi Guanyin, who could move unhindered in the desert, after all. He forced her to back down. While he was feeling proud of himself, he accidentally glanced at the scene under his sleeves from the corner of his eyes.
Only then did he realize the situation he was in.
The territory under his feet belonged to the Beggar Clan. Around him was an uncle with heaven-defying martial prowess, a violent and sinister younger sister who wasn't that heaven-defying but had no problem beating him up, an older brother who looked good but whose martial prowess was on par with his, and a younger brother who didn't have any martial prowess but had great innate talent. If you dared to hit him, he would dare to call for backup.
He suddenly understood why Xie Lige invited the three of them to A gang of beggars.
Catching a turtle in a jar!
This family didn't care at all. No matter how eloquent Chu Liuxiang was or how firm his stance was, it was useless. The territory was theirs, and he was here. How could he escape?
With Xie Lige and Shi Guanyin beside him, Chu Liuxiang and the other two couldn't escape.
When Shi Guanyin saw Chu Liuxiang's face stiffen, she knew that he understood what she meant. She said gently, "Do you understand?"
"Ahem ahem!" Chu Liuxiang coughed softly as she clenched her fist.
Shi Guanyin's smile became even gentler. The most likable thing about a person was that he had to be tactful. Just a while ago, she didn't like him at all, but after that cough, she found him much more pleasing to the eye.
Thinking of this, she put down the fist in her sleeve.
Shi Guanyin took out the yellow paper and some certificates from her bosom and handed them to Chu Liuxiang. "Since Commander Xiang doesn't object to my request, can I ask Commander Xiang to send these certificates to the Six Fan School?"
Shi Guanyin was a stunning beauty with skin of ice and bones of jade. Her eyes were full of elegance. She was wearing a red palace dress and was as bright as fire. When she entrusted Chu Liuxiang with the task, her voice was soft and gentle. However, her eyes kept drifting to Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan, who were uncomfortable at the side. She was obviously threatening them.
She didn't know if Chu Liuxiang would do something bad. This guy was too evil. However, she had a way to deal with him. Although it was old-fashioned, it was useful.
Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Madam, you really have something on me."
Shi Guanyin understood that he had agreed. She chuckled and said, "Thank you, Commander Xiang."
The reconstruction of the Huangshan Sword School was neither easy nor difficult. After Shi Guanyin and Chu Liuxiang had a friendly conversation, the latter went to the Six Fan School. The matter of the site had been successfully settled.
Xie Lige went to the site and carefully observed it. He found that it was much bigger than he remembered.
Chu Liuxiang saw his confusion and explained with a smile, "The General gave it to you, First Elder."
No one was willing to be enemies with the top masters in Jianghu, especially Xie Lige, who was a lethal weapon to outsiders. The imperial court generally adhered to the principle of befriending him if possible. If they couldn't, they would try their best not to offend him. After all, people were afraid of death. No one could guarantee that once they annoyed him, he would come to their residence to play a round.
Speaking of which, Xie Lige was quite famous in the imperial court.
It was because of his battle with Jellyfish. According to a person surnamed Chu, who had watched the whole battle and guaranteed that what he said was true, the civil and military officials of the imperial court received a report from the Six Fan School the next day. There was only one good news, one bad news, and one neither good news nor bad news.
The good news was that Jellyfish, who was the bane of the imperial court, was finally defeated and was beaten into the water within ten moves. The bad news was that the person who defeated her was her master's old enemy, the First Elder of A Gang of Beggars, whose strength was also unfathomable. When the emperor and the officials saw this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Emperor You felt even more so.
He had even seen with his own eyes how terrifying Jellyfish's strength was. His bodyguard, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was defeated by her with just a look. It was so terrifying. He still couldn't forget the cold and emotionless look in her eyes when she looked at him from high above. However, such a person was defeated by someone else within ten moves.
The only good news was that the Six Fan School's last piece of good news saved the emperor from panic. When he saw that Xie Lige was the orphan of the Huangshan Sword School and wanted to buy back the land from the imperial court, he agreed without hesitation.
No matter how good the land was, it was not as important as his own life.
The emperor picked up the imperial seal beside him and stamped it. He said to the official of the Six Fan School below the stage, "Bring it to the general!"
The official picked up the memorial and stuffed it into his arms. He bowed and said, "Yes!"
After that, he expressed that this was what Xie Lige saw.
When Xie Lige heard Chu Liuxiang's words, he smiled. He understood everything. The emperor was also a person, so naturally, he would be afraid. However, it was useless for them to take the land in the middle of nowhere. If they could exchange it for some gratitude, they would have profited.
They even gave the entire mountain to him with great sincerity.
That was a real mountain.
According to the memorial, the land within a ten-mile radius of the mountain was under the name of the Huangshan Sword School. They could even collect taxes from the villagers within a ten-mile radius. They just had to symbolically hand over some of the taxes to the national treasury.
Xie Lige looked at Chu Liuxiang and said seriously, "I will remember this favor. I will naturally return it to His Majesty in the future."
When Chu Liuxiang heard this, he was also happy. Although he was carefree, he still had a good impression of the imperial court. He was also happy that the former could make friends with an old monster. When he heard Xie Lige's serious words, he thought that the latter was just saying it casually. Naturally, he did not expect that the latter would come up with a story that would make him stunned.
On the other side, a scene that made people not know whether to laugh or cry appeared in the Shaolin Temple.
Shi Guanyin had discussed the Huangshan Sword School with Xie Lige on the ship last time. She did not agree at first and was even very opposed to the issue of No Flower as the head. She had always been very concerned that her two children were half-Japanese. She felt that the latter were not worthy of being the head of a sword sect.
She even asked her brother to give birth to a child. It was not until Xie Lige repeatedly persuaded her that she did not care about the blood of her two children and that even her parents did not care that she reluctantly agreed.
This time, they also went to the Shaolin Temple because of this.
In the wing room of the side temple of Shaoshi Mountain.
Shi Guanyin looked at the old monk opposite her, who closed his eyes and rested. She smiled coldly and said, "Long time no see, old man. I didn't expect you to still be alive."
Her expression was distorted and her eyes were full of hatred. Standing in front of Nangong Ling and No Flower, she did not have the slightest intention to restrain her murderous aura. The sharp evil aura scraped many deep marks on the ground.
The old monk bent his back, put his palms together, and said a long Buddhist prayer, "Long time no see, Benefactor Li."
Shi Guanyin's pretty face was frosty, and her voice was so cold that it could freeze ice. "Enough, these empty formalities are unnecessary. Don't worry, I'm not here to take your life this time. I just want to ask you to come here to let my disappointing eldest son return to the secular world."
No Flower was as quiet as a child in front of Buddha. He closed his eyes and rested. His eyebrows were picturesque. Now, the space in front of the wing room was empty, as if the quarrel opposite had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Nangong Ling could not help but poke him with his paw. "Brother!"
No Flower slightly turned to the side. "?"
Nangong Ling whispered, "Did mother bring you back this time to prepare for you to be the head of the sect?"
No Flower opened his eyes and looked at him. He found that Nangong Ling was looking at him with pure eyes.
He whispered, "It should be."
Nangong Ling suddenly felt happy for his brother. He knew that this monk had no future at all. He recited scriptures every day, and his brother became like this. He touched the back of his head and laughed. "I guess I'll be the leader of A gang of beggars in the future."
No Flower looked down. "Of course it's not bad."
Nangong Ling was even more proud. "I'll help you in the future too."
Nangong Ling had always felt guilty about No Flower. First of all, the environment in which they grew up was very different. He was the overlord of A gang of beggars since he was young. Everyone held him in high regard and gave him whatever he wanted. Nangong Ling, on the other hand, lived a simple life and lived in seclusion for decades. Nangong Ling felt that he had betrayed his brother.
On the boat, when he heard that his brother was going to be the head of the sect, he felt even more guilty. He had accepted a healthy and thriving A gang of beggars. On the other hand, although his brother was the head of the sect, he was a bald boss with no subordinates. At first glance, he looked very pitiful.
When the two were compared, the difference was naturally huge.
No Flower nodded slightly. "Okay!"
At the same time, Xie Lige, who was busy at the old site of the Huangshan Sword School, suddenly heard a notification. [Beep!
No Flower's favorability towards Nangong Ling has increased to 65!]
"System?"
[Beep!]
The System's little Doraemon popped up.
Xie Lige asked, "My mission is complete?"
According to the System's classification, if the favorability between two people reached 65, they could basically be said to be brothers. If it reached 70, they would be close brothers. Xie Lige saw that it was 65 and asked.
The System was about to nod, but it realized that it was just a System. It rolled over and said, "Yes!"
[Beep!
Mission complete. Please choose how long to leave.]
Xie Lige looked at it. They were:
One day.
Three days.
One week.
