Xu Baijiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and she took a breath of cold air. She looked at Li Xin'an and then at Murong Bai. She never thought in her life that one day, she would actually be able to see the world's number one and the world's number one at the same time.
The descendants of the two stood together.
"Shh, girl, don't make any noise." Li Xin'an smiled and said, "Please take a step to speak."
Xu Baijiao nodded stiffly: "Okay, you two, please come with me."
Seeing the people who were about to open the door, the onlookers became polite and didn't understand what was going on. The disciples of the Tianshan Sect also stepped forward in confusion and asked:
"Miss, what are you—"
"Don't make this matter any more public." Xu Baijiao said calmly, "Take my token back to the mountain and invite Senior Brother Lei Jie down."
"Yes." The disciple received Xu Baijiao's token and returned to Tianshan Sect.
"Let's all disperse." Xu Baijiao said loudly, "There is nothing interesting about a misunderstanding."
Now that the eldest lady of the Tianshan Sect has said this, everyone onlookers can't wait any longer. They bowed and dispersed.
"Mr. Murong, Mr. Li, please follow me."
The five of them followed Xu Baijiao for a quarter of an hour until they arrived at the center of the town, a spacious mansion with two large gilded characters engraved on the plaque -
Lei Mansion.
"This is the home of my senior brother Lei Jie, and it is also the Tianshan Sect's agency in this town. You can come here to discuss anything. If guests of the Tianshan Sect have trouble going up the mountain, they will also arrange to rest here. Several young masters
, please come inside."
Li Xin'an smiled and nodded: "In this case, Miss Xu will be at your service."
Several people followed Xu Baijiao to settle down, and then went to a lobby in the backyard to talk.
"Tianshan Sect Xu Baijiao, I met the young leader first. I offended you a lot outside just now. Please forgive me."
Seeing that Xu Baijiao was about to salute him, Murong Bai coughed and Li Xin'an held her back.
"Miss Xu, you don't have to be like this." Murong Bai was a little embarrassed, "I have never liked these etiquettes. When we go out, everyone is just a child of the world. There is no need to salute to anyone."
"The Tianshan Sect is under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Wulin, and Murong Villa is the respected master of the Wulin. Logically speaking, I cannot lose my etiquette."
"Miss Xu, we have to give him face in front of outsiders. But in private, we treat each other as brothers and sisters, so there is no need for those red tapes." Li Xin'an said with a smile.
Xu Baijiao pursed her lips: "In this case, the little girl would be rude."
"Why did Mr. Murong come here?"
"Wu Jun and Chang'an have seen enough. Let's go out and swim in the rivers and lakes again." Murong Bai said.
"But there is no news in the world. They all thought that you are still serving as a swordsmanship teacher in the palace of King Li Chu of Guangping."
"I don't want to attract attention. If I leak the news, I will inevitably be surrounded by people shouting and hugging each other along the way. In this way, we will not be able to see the real scenery of the rivers and lakes, and we will not be able to see what we want to see." Murong Bai said.
"This guy has never stayed in His Highness's house from the beginning." Li Xin'an said with a smile, "The so-called swordsmanship teacher is just an empty name."
"Besides, this trip to the world was not my idea." Murong Bai said, "The main reason is to accompany him."
After saying that, he poked Li Xin'an beside him.
"That's it." Xu Baijiao looked at Li Xin'an. Compared to Murong Bai, the latter's identity attracted him more.
Disciple of Tang Sword Master Pei Min?
As everyone knows, Pei Min has two disciples. The eldest disciple, San Yu, serves the country by his side and has gradually faded out of the world. Otherwise, he would have been among the top twenty on the martial arts ranking list. However, the identity of the younger disciple is indeed unknown.
, there has never been news about him, and many people in the world speculate that maybe there was no such disciple from the beginning, and it was just a fabricated rumor.
But now it seems that with the martial arts young leader Murong Bai by his side, the existence of Pei Min's disciples seems to be confirmed. Li Xin'an? There is no one named Li among the famous family in the world. He was born in Chang'an, and how can Pei Min hide such a secret?
Xu Baijiao could only think of one identity after Murong Bai surrendered to him.
"Your Excellency... your surname is Li, is he really not a relative of the emperor? In the past, people were very discerning, and you may not want to reveal your true identity, but now, please tell the truth."
Li Xin'an smiled slightly: "Miss Xu, you can rest assured, I am really not a member of the royal family. Speaking of it, my ancestors were also considered a branch of the royal family, but they have long since declined. Now, I am just a silly boy wandering around in the world."
Xu Baijiao's eyes were suspicious, and Li Xin'an's face didn't look like he was lying, but Xu Baijiao didn't dare to believe his words.
After all, all the lonely royal branches in the world have a place to go.
Luoyang, Tiance Mansion.
Seemingly sensing Xu Baijiao's doubts, Li Xin'an laughed and said:
"Forget it, I'll tell you everything, otherwise I'm afraid Miss Xu won't be honest with me."
"Your Majesty is joking."
Li Xin settled for a moment and said, "I am Li Linfu's son."
The smile on Xu Baijiao's face immediately froze.
"Li Linfu, the traitor who died early last year, was my father. I am his thirteenth son. According to the Li family's genealogy, my name should be Li Gao."
"How is it possible..." Xu Baijiao murmured. She had heard Li Linfu's name since she was a child, and when people around her talked about it, their expressions changed. They were either disgusted by his reputation as a traitor, or were afraid of his cruel methods.
Now, a son of Li Linfu suddenly appeared, or was he a close disciple of Pei Min?
"I have severed ties with Li Linfu a long time ago." Li Xin'an smiled, "So the liquidation is not on me. Miss Xu, you should understand now why the master will not release the news about me. On the one hand
, out of consideration for the reputation of the master. On the other hand, it is out of concern for my safety. Li Linfu has countless enemies, and someone will definitely want to kill me."
"Of course, now that Li Linfu is dead, there is no need to continue hiding my life experience."
After Xu Baijiao was silent for a while, she smiled bitterly and shook her head:
"Speaking of which, I still can't accept it. How could Li Linfu's son have the same status as Mr. Pei Min's disciple?"
"Miss Xu, I ask you not to pay too much attention to this matter." Murong Bai said in a deep voice, "Li Linfu is Li Linfu, and Brother Li is Brother Li. Don't be preconceived and bring your evil thoughts towards Li Linfu onto him."
"Of course I understand." Xu Baijiao said, "How can a person who can be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Pei Min and be friends with you, Mr. Murong, possibly be a treacherous person? It's just... I can't accept it for a while.
.”
She shook her head and smiled: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. How many young men came all the way from Chang'an?"
"No, we left Chang'an and first went to the grassland to meet my master."
Xu Baijiao said in surprise: "Isn't there a war going on there? I heard that the Tang Dynasty has won, and even the Khitan Great Wolf Lord Yelu Hailan was killed."
"Yes." Li Xin'an said with a smile, "Miss Xu, who do you think killed Yelu Hailan?"
"It can't be... it's you guys, right?" Xu Baijiao couldn't believe it, "Didn't it mean that Yelu Hailan was killed by her brother Yelu Shi?"
"No, no." Li Xin'an pointed to Zhou Bian next to him, "Yelü Hailan died in the hands of Brother Zhou."
Xu Baijiao immediately stood up and clasped her fists: "Am I presumptuous? I haven't asked the names of the three young masters yet?"
Those who could be friends with Murong Bai and Li Xin'an were not just ordinary people.
"Bian next week."
"Nobody, Xiao Xuangan."
"Hello, Miss Xu. This is Ye Qinglan of the Ye family. Miss, just call me Ye Qi."
"Young Master Zhou, Young Master Xiao, Young Master Ye, and Xu Baijiao have been negligent. Please forgive me."
"We don't mind this kind of thing." Li Xin'an said, "Miss Xu doesn't know that Ashina Chongguang, the high priest of the Witch God Sect, died under their joint efforts."
"Is this happening?" Xu Baijiao's eyes shone, "Mr. Li, please tell me in detail."
Half an hour later, Li Xin'an finally told the five of them what they had seen, heard, felt, and experienced along the way from entering Fengzhou to leaving the grassland. His mouth was so tired that he drank several bowls of tea.
.
"I didn't expect that the war could be so tragic." Xu Baijiao sighed, "However, what you have experienced is also joyful. If a man has experienced this, he will not live in vain."
"Yes." Li Xin'an said, "If the Khitans had not been defeated in that battle, we would not have left. Even if we were to serve as pawns and die on the battlefield, we would definitely drive the Khitans back to their hometown!"
"I really envy you." Xu Baijiao said, "You can do what you want to do as you please, experience the warmth and warmth of human relationships, and enjoy grudges and grudges. This is the true Jianghu person."
"Miss Xu, are you aggrieved in Tianshan Sect?" Li Xin'an asked with concern.
"Not really, it's just that I don't have much freedom." Xu Baijiao sighed, "Every day I open my eyes or close my eyes, it's a lot of nonsense. My father is old and gradually becomes unable to do what he wants for the Tianshan Sect. I am firmly trapped.
I'm tied here, I can't get out of Tianshan Mountain, I can't see the scenery outside."
Ye Qinglan suddenly interrupted: "I'm afraid it's not this matter that Miss Xu is worried about."
"Master, why did you say this?"
"Miss Xu is the only daughter of Sect Master Xu. She has been trained as the head of the Tianshan Sect since she was a child. No matter how trivial the affairs of the Tianshan Sect are, you will not feel irritated. Sect Master Xu is already old. This is
In fact, Miss Xu has not yet reached the age to officially take over, so I think the safest way to deal with it is to find a quick son-in-law for you."
Xu Baijiao laughed dumbly: "Young Master Ye looks like he has been among women. I really can't hide my thoughts from you."
Murong Bai said in a deep voice: "But choose one of the five disciples of Sect Master Xu to be your son-in-law, Miss Xu?"
"This..." Xu Baijiao shook her head, "It's better not to mention this matter again."
"I'm sorry, Miss Xu, we were presumptuous." Li Xin'an said apologetically.
"Let's talk about you, why do you suddenly want to come to Tianshan Sect as a guest?"
Li Xin'an smiled and said: "Since we are traveling around the world, the Tianshan Sect is bound to come. It just happens to be the Tianshan Sect's martial arts competition. Seeing this grand event, my trip is not in vain."
"Of course I won't let these young masters come in vain." Xu Baijiao said, "It's getting late today. Please rest here for the night. My senior brother Lei Jie will go down the mountain to talk to you later. Mr. Murong should
Get to know him."
"Nine years ago, I was fortunate enough to learn about Senior Lei Jie's sword skills at the Tianji Tower Martial Arts Review."
"Tomorrow I will personally accompany the five young masters up the mountain. I will first instruct my servants to prepare a banquet, etc..."
Xu Baijiao's words were suddenly interrupted by a burst of noise. Everyone looked outside the hall in shock. A Tianshan Sect disciple ran over and said breathlessly:
"Miss, something happened."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Xu Baijiao still didn't believe that someone dared to act wildly in Lei Mansion. Those who caused trouble must be one of her own.
"Uncle Ma Xing, with twenty or thirty people, rushed into the house!"
