"She's not a child anymore. What's there to be afraid of when she goes out to play? This is your home territory anyway!" Murong Fu on the side interjected leisurely.

"I want you...huh? It's you!"

Before the word "Guan" came out of her mouth, Huo Qingtong was stunned for a moment. Only then did she notice Murong Fu next to her, and her face instantly turned cold. "Did you bring my sister out?"

Murong Fu touched his chin, "Why, do I need to ask you first before I act?"

Huo Qingtong's face flushed slightly, "She is my sister, do you want to ask me?"

Seeing that the odor between the two was getting stronger and stronger, Caris hurriedly stepped forward and took Huo Qingtong's hand and said, "Sister, I was wrong. Don't be angry."

"It's none of your business now, just back off!" Huo Qingtong pushed Karis behind him with a gentle push, staring at Murong Fu with blazing eyes.

However, Caris opened her mouth and explained: "Sister, it really has nothing to do with Brother Murong. It was me who secretly ran out to play alone and met Brother Murong. Later, I picked snow lotus on a short peak. Brother Murong was there.

, I didn’t encounter any danger!”

Huo Qingtong frowned slightly. Is it really such a coincidence? Did I misunderstand him? But my sister has never lied since she was a child. She raised her eyes and glanced at Murong Fu, but saw that he said nothing and looked indifferent.

An inexplicable anger arose.

For a moment, the two of them were in a stalemate. Caris looked at Huo Qingtong, then at Murong Fu, and couldn't help but tugged at the corner of Huo Qingtong's clothes, "Sister, please don't be angry, okay? I won't steal it next time."

Ran out!"

After a short moment, Huo Qingtong finally said in a slightly stiff tone: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Murong Fu smiled faintly, "Forget it!" Then his body flashed and he disappeared from the spot.

"Murong..." Huo Qingtong opened his mouth, but swallowed the words again.

On the way back, Huo Qingtong's expression changed and he remained silent.

Caris, on the other hand, was like a little girl who had done something wrong, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

Murong Fu started using Qinggong and returned to the tent after a while, but he saw that his face was filled with excitement and there was no sign of anger at all.

It turns out that he was just putting on a show. If nothing else, with Huo Qingtong's talent as a general and Snow Lotus's supply of goods, how could Murong Fu easily fall out with him.

As for the reason for his excitement, it was because Pingxu Yufeng had broken through the bottleneck again, and his Qinggong increased by three points out of thin air. Don't underestimate these three points. With his current martial arts, even one point of improvement is extremely rare.

thing.

It was getting late, and Mu Zhuolun sent someone to invite Murong Fu to the banquet. He happily agreed. Although he guessed that this so-called banquet was probably not specially for him, how could he care about this?

eat.

Not long after, Murong Fu came to the main hall as promised.

I saw seven or eight simple stone stoves placed on the left and right sides of the hall. The firewood in the stone stoves was burning vigorously. A low bar table was placed behind the stone stoves. At this time, it was already full of people, and only the left side was left.

There is an empty space at the end.

Naturally, the person sitting in front of the hall is Mu Zhuolun. Huo Ayi and Huo Qingtong are sitting on both sides. As for Karis, she is not here. On the left are several strong men in armor, who should be Mu Zhuolun's generals.

Sitting on the lower right side are an old man and a young man. The old man has a pale face, a slightly disheveled white beard, and a few deep wrinkles on his forehead. People can't help but think that this old man must have experienced a lot of hardships. It is not difficult to guess,

This old man must be Yuan Shixiao, the "Tianchi Strange Hero".

Murong Fu secretly shook his head. This old man gave him a worse feeling than Yang Xiao and Fan Yao. It seemed that the rumors were just exaggerated.

As for the younger one, he was dressed in a Confucian shirt, with fine features and handsome eyes. He was none other than Chen Jialuo, who had met Murong Fu once before.

Naturally, he saw Murong Fu at the first sight, and his expression instantly became very unnatural.

Murong Fu glanced at him sideways and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. It seemed that he had knocked him out of the shadows last time. He immediately ignored him and hugged Mu Zhuolun, "I'm late, I'm sorry for you!"

Mu Zhuolun waved his hand and said boldly: "Haha, it doesn't matter, the time is just right. If little brother Murong feels dissatisfied, just drink a few more drinks later!"

"Definitely, definitely!" Murong Fu replied politely.

"Please sit down!"

Murong Fu took advantage of the situation and sat down in a seat behind Chen Jialuo.

"By the way, I haven't introduced you to you yet." Mu Zhuolun stood up, pointed at Yuan Shixiao and said to Murong Fu: "This is Mr. Yuan that I mentioned to you before. Mr. Yuan is a scholar of heaven and man.

His martial arts skills are even more profound and his reputation is far-reaching in the martial arts world."

Murong Fu curled his lips, "I don't know if the martial arts you are talking about refers to the martial arts in the Central Plains, the martial arts in the Western Regions, or the martial arts back home..." However, he said kindly: "It turns out to be Mr. Yuan, the Strange Hero of Tianchi.

, I have admired you for a long time.”

But Yuan Shixiao just nodded slightly to show that he had seen him before, without even raising his eyelids.

Mu Zhuolun didn't feel embarrassed at all. It seemed that it was normal for Yuan Shixiao to do this. Then he pointed at Chen Jialuo and said, "This young master is Mr. Yuan's disciple, and his surname is Chen Jialuo."

"This is Murong Fu from Jiangnan in the Central Plains!" Mu Zhuolun finally introduced Murong Fu.

Hearing the words "Jiangnan Murong Fu", Yuan Shixiao raised his head and looked at Murong Fu. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then he looked Murong Fu up and down and said in an old voice.

: "The Murong family who claims to 'repay others with their own way'?"

Murong Fu nodded calmly without saying much, obviously repaying him in the same way as Yuan Shixiao just now.

Yuan Shixiao was slightly stunned, and suddenly his heart moved slightly. He turned to look at Chen Jialuo, "Disciple, is he the young man who failed you last time in the Central Plains?"

"Master!" Chen Jialuo called out in a low voice, and finally nodded reluctantly, "Yes, Master."

Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, except for the military generals, everyone present had internal strength, so they naturally heard it clearly.

Mu Zhuolun glanced at Murong Fu in surprise. Although he had heard his daughter say that this boy's martial arts were extremely high, he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that his martial arts seemed to be higher than Mr. Yuan's apprentice. Could it be that Chen Xiaozi was too good at it?

Too young?

As for whether Huo Qingtong glanced at Murong Fu, he was a little absent-minded and seemed not to notice the conversation, but it wouldn't be surprising if he noticed her, after all, she had seen Murong Fu's martial arts with her own eyes.

"Disciple, challenge him again!" Yuan Shixiao suddenly said something that made everyone stunned.

"This...Master, this is He Zhuo's Yazhang Hall, and it would be inappropriate to hold a banquet here today!" Chen Jialuo hesitated for a moment, then refused.

Yuan Shixiao turned to look at Mu Zhuolun, his meaning was self-evident.

"This..." Mu Zhuolun also felt embarrassed. It was not that he was worried about the tents and banquets, but that no matter who defeated the other, it would make it difficult for both parties to step down.

"Is He Zhuo really afraid of damaging your palace?" Yuan Shixiao finally said.

"That's not true. Today is a day to entertain distinguished guests. I'm afraid that the two of them are young and energetic. If they get really angry and accidentally injure anyone, it won't be good. I think it's better to change the day!" Mu Zhuolun thought in his heart.

I said everything I was thinking, except that I didn't say, "I'm afraid your apprentice will get hurt at someone else's hands."

"Humph, children are competing in a competition. If there is any accidental injury, there is no accidental injury." Yuan Shixiao snorted, but then he seemed to think of something, and his tone softened, "Don't worry He Zhuo, if there is any danger, I will definitely take action to stop the two of them.

.”

Huo Qingtong, who had come back to his senses, listened to a few words and roughly guessed the whole story. He smiled bitterly in his heart. With Mr. Murong's martial arts, even if you attack, you may not be able to resist...

However, she also heard her father mention that Yuan Shixiao had an eccentric temper and was consistent in his words, so she had no intention of trying to persuade him. In her heart, Murong Fu was of course more important.

"Disciple, if you don't go quickly, let me see how you were defeated by this person!" Yuan Shixiao urged when he saw Chen Jialuo's expression of reluctance.

"Yes, Master!" Chen Jialuo replied with a helpless sigh.

Chen Jialuo came to Murong Fu's table, raised his hands and bowed, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Murong."

Murong Fu rolled his eyes and turned his head to one side, not looking at him.

Luo Deng of the Chen family felt greatly insulted and said in a deep voice again: "Mr. Murong, please enlighten me!"

"What? I'll hit you if you ask me to. Then I won't be very embarrassed!" Murong Fu said leisurely.

Chen Jialuo was at a loss for words. According to the rules of the arena, if you don't fight when others challenge you, it is equivalent to admitting defeat. Therefore, unless there is a reason, people in the arena generally will not refuse challenges from others, otherwise it will be greatly detrimental to their reputation.

But today I met such a weirdo.

Chen Jialuo couldn't say anything, his face turned slightly red.

"Boy, do you think my disciple is not qualified enough to challenge you?" Yuan Shixiao said, with a slight coldness in his voice. He stared at Murong Fu with lightning eyes, ready to take action if he disagreed with him.

"Mr. Yuan, right?" Murong Fu turned to look at Yuan Shixiao, "If someone challenges you, what will you do?"

Yuan Shixiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If we are equally matched or superior to my opponent, I will naturally be happy to fight. If..."

Halfway through his words, his voice suddenly stopped, and his face suddenly turned dark, "Are you saying that my apprentice is not as good as you?"

"You said it yourself, I didn't!" Murong Fu waved his hands, acting as if I didn't say anything.

"You..." Yuan Shixiao was so angry that his beard trembled. He pressed his hand on the table, which made a creaking sound. After a while, he snorted, "If you dare to do something but don't act like it, you will never become a great person!"

"As a disciple like you, if you are promising and can become a great weapon, you might as well change your name to a great weapon from now on!" Murong Fu sneered.
