Seeing Meng Xiuyuan floating up from the lotus leaf and slowly falling into the corridor, everyone watching the battle in the distance knew that the outcome was decided and hurriedly gathered around him.
"Mr. Meng, are you okay?
Did that master hurt you?!"
Abi was not as knowledgeable in martial arts as Wang Yuyan, so she couldn't tell who was the winner among the two, so she could only confirm with Meng Xiuyuan worriedly.
As soon as these words came out, Meng Xiuyuan had not yet expressed anything, but Jiumozhi's expression became increasingly ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.
After a while, Jiumozhi suddenly let out a breath and said to Abi:
"Girl, you don't need to worry, I lost.
Thanks to Mr. Meng's mercy, I can save some face..."
Jiumozhi was arrogant by nature and would never bow to anyone and admit defeat.
It's just that in the previous confrontation, Meng Xiuyuan was so decisive that Jiumozhi couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
When it came to the final blow, Jiumozhi thought that he had used all his strength, and the power of the move was so powerful that there was no possibility of adding another point.
But in this situation, Meng Xiuyuan not only defeated his air sword with the air sword of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", but also stabbed him lightly between the eyebrows in a moment.
This stab can see blood without hurting anyone. It is neither deep nor shallow, and is extremely wonderful. Ordinary people may not be able to stab with such accuracy even with an iron sword, let alone stabbing with an erratic air sword two feet away.
middle.
Seeing this situation, Jiumozhi naturally understood that this was actually due to the obvious strength gap between the two sides. Meng Xiuyuan still had some strength left when dealing with him, so he could wield such a sword with such ease.
At this point, Jiumozhi no longer had the face to stay any longer, so he said "goodbye", jumped up, and landed on a small boat next to the house.
This Jiumozhi came with bad intentions, so no one said anything to save him.
It's just that although he was strong in martial arts, he couldn't row a boat. The boat was spinning on the water, but it couldn't row far for a while.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this situation, finding it quite funny.
Only Meng Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said calmly to Jiumozhi:
"Prince Ming, if you turn the oars more slowly, the boat will naturally straighten."
Jiumozhi had been embarrassed by so many people and was feeling anxious and ashamed when he suddenly heard what Meng Xiuyuan said. He was stunned for a moment and finally believed Meng Xiuyuan's words.
And the fact is as Meng Xiuyuan said, once Jiumozhi slows down, the boat will no longer be so easy to lose control.
In addition, Maharaja Maharaja was extremely intelligent, and after a short time, he almost mastered the technique of rowing. He gently pulled the wooden oar a few times, and the boat shot out like a sharp arrow, maneuvering it freely.
Jiumozhi looked back at this moment and saw that the people around the wooden house were getting farther and farther away from him, and his emotions were complicated and difficult to describe.
In the end, although he said nothing, he clasped his hands together and solemnly performed a Buddhist salute to Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiu saw that he was like this, and secretly thought that this great monk was not so bad after all, so he couldn't help but tell him a few more truths in his heart:
"Prince Ming, there is nothing wrong with you being obsessed with martial arts and working hard.
It's just like you were rowing just now. You were too impatient and lacked guidance, so you messed up.
I once met an old monk sweeping the floor in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion. I benefited a lot from his advice.
Prince Ming is also a master of Buddhism, so if you are interested, you can go and have a chat with him."
Jiumozhi was stunned when he heard the sound, frowned for a moment, and finally nodded, looking at each other silently with Meng Xiuyuan until his figure disappeared into the dusk.
…
After that, Meng Xiuyuan rested peacefully in this "Qin Yun Xiaozhu" for the night.
Abi was grateful to Meng Xiuyuan for helping her and resolving the crisis between her and the Murong family, so she couldn't help but entertain Meng Xiuyuan very wholeheartedly.
But when Wang Yuyan and Fengbo met Meng Xiuyuan, they became more reserved, and their words and deeds were involuntarily respectful.
Only Duan Yu remained as usual, still focused on following his fairy sister and didn't care about the battle between Meng Xiuyuan and Jiumozhi.
In this way, early on the next day, everyone took a small boat and set off for Mantuo Villa.
It was just dawn, and the water surface was silent. Only the sound of oars and the soft rustle of lotus leaves rubbing against the hull of the boat could be heard, accompanied by the breeze on the lake, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers.
At the stern of the boat, Abi paddled the wooden oar, her wrists as bright as jade, her green shirt moved slightly, and her figure was hidden in the mist.
Duan Yu was so excited when he saw this beautiful scene and the beautiful people echoing each other that he insisted on reciting a few words on the spot.
What is "the windless water surface is smooth like glass, and you can't feel the boat moving and ripples slightly".
How about "After saying goodbye to the pond, I once walked there, wearing a green skirt and a light skirt. I held my bare hands for a while, walking slowly among the scattered flowers and fragrant grass."
What else is there to say: "Wander through the green fields, play and get drunk, don't lose your youth".
Duan Yu rambled on for a long time, until Abi's cheeks turned red with embarrassment and she lowered her head. Wang Yuyan couldn't help but frown and said "frivolous", which shocked the bookworm out of his thoughts and hurriedly looked at the two of them.
A girl apologizes.
With such a fuss, time passed quickly. The boat sailed for a while, and saw clumps of camellias gradually appearing on the shore, indicating that it had arrived at the Mantuo Villa.
"Miss Wang, please don't be angry with me.
I was speaking too fast just now, so I said some inappropriate words."
When Duan Yu saw Wang Yuyan's ugly face, he thought she was angry with him and couldn't help but explain.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yuyan immediately shook her head, without even looking at Duan Yu, she just lowered her head and said thoughtfully:
"Why should I be angry with you? As long as you stop making noise, it will be fine.
What I'm worried about is that this time I ran away from home without my mother's consent. When I saw her later, I didn't know how to explain it.
I just hope that in front of Mr. Meng, she can spare me once..."
Wang Yuyan's family was very strict, so when she arrived at the door of her house, she naturally felt uneasy.
As they spoke, everyone jumped to the shore, and suddenly heard a soft singing in the flower forest, and a little maid in green clothes walked out.
The little maid held a bouquet of flowers and plants in her hand. When she saw Wang Yuyan, she quickly ran towards her and shouted in surprise:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Miss, you are finally back? Why did you bring a strange man with you?!
If Madam finds out, she will definitely not let you off lightly... Just let them go!"
"Youcao, don't talk nonsense, this Mr. Meng is a distinguished guest of our Mantuo Villa.
Where is mother now?"
When Wang Yuyan heard the little maid mentioning Mrs. Wang, she felt a little guilty and couldn't help but inquire about the situation first.
However, when the maid named Youcao was about to speak again, she saw two speedboats approaching quickly on the lake, one behind the other, and they were close in the blink of an eye.
There were two ships, one big and one small. The bow of the big ship in front was covered with flowers. When we got closer, we could see that they were also camellias.
When Wang Yuyan and Abi saw the boat, they were both shocked. Their expressions were both respectful and frightened. The little maid on the side lowered her head and eyebrows in front of the flower boat, and then explained to Wang Yuyan in a low voice:
"Madam went out a few days ago and just returned today. I received the news and came to greet her..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a majestic and cold female voice coming from the boat:
"Yan'er, you are becoming less and less ignorant of the rules.
Not only did he escape from the villa with the gardener named Duan, but now he came back with a wild man from outside.
Don’t you know that any man who dares to come to Mantuo Villa will have his feet cut off..."
While they were talking, a total of eighteen women in green clothes walked out of the flower boat in pairs, all dressed as maids, each holding a long sword in their hands.
The eighteen maids stood on both sides. After they all stood still, a beautiful middle-aged woman slowly walked out of the boat. She looked very similar to Wang Yuyan. She was obviously the Mrs. Wang who just spoke.
When Meng Xiu saw this situation, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that this Mrs. Wang was not only cruel with her words, but also her pomp and circumstance.
When Wang Yuyan saw that Meng Xiuyuan looked wrong, she was startled. She didn't care how angry her mother was, so she hurried forward to greet her and whispered in his ear:
"Mom, you must not offend your distinguished guest.
This Master Meng’s martial arts skills are extraordinary and he just defeated a powerful enemy for his cousin’s family..."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang was used to being domineering and her eyes were higher than her head. She didn't pay attention to Wang Yuyan's words at all. She interrupted her explanation with her hand and said directly:
"Okay, I know you care about your cousin, but don't use this to fool me.
At such a young age, how could he be such a master and defeat such powerful enemies?
Could it be that with his fair and fair appearance, he could still be the leader of the Beggar Clan, Bei Qiao Feng?
Furthermore, even if he is really the benefactor of the Murong family, what does he have to do with my Wang family?
As long as he breaks my rules, I can't forgive him..."
While speaking, Mrs. Wang glanced sideways at Meng Xiuyuan, then turned to him and asked coldly:
"What's your last name and where are you from?"
Meng Xiu saw that Mrs. Wang was acting rudely, and although he felt a little displeased in his heart, thinking that she was Wu Yazi's daughter after all, he did not have the same understanding as her.
Not wanting to be verbose, he simply touched his arms, took out the gemstone ring that represented the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and said calmly:
"Li Qingluo, do you recognize this?"
When Mrs. Wang heard Meng Xiuyuan calling her maiden name, she couldn't help but get angry subconsciously. But after she saw the ring in Meng Xiuyuan's hand clearly, she immediately fell into deep thought again, as if she was trying to remember something.
After a long time, she suddenly trembled and said in disbelief:
"You...how do you have this ring?!"
Everyone present was confused after seeing this scene. They couldn't understand how a small gem ring could make Mrs. Wang care so much.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to say anything more and said directly:
"This is what your father gave me as a voucher.
He promised me that I could go to Langhuan Jade Cave to read the martial arts at any time.
I came to your Mantuo Villa only for this one thing."
When Mrs. Wang heard what Meng Xiuyuan said, her eyes were like lightning. She glanced at Meng Xiuyuan's face a few times and then said coldly:
"Where did the little thief come from? He got the treasure and didn't find out the inside story, so he tried to trick my family into passing on martial arts.
Do you know that my father has been looking for this ring for decades, but he never got it.
Even if he really found this ring, how could he give it to you?!"
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he understood what Mrs. Wang meant.
Obviously, the "daddy" she refers to is Ding Chunqiu, not Wu Yazi.
After thinking about this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but shook his head secretly, and replied in the same cold voice:
"I'm talking about your biological father, Wu Yazi.
Ten years ago, in the Valley of Deafness and Mute that day, he handed over the position of leader of Xiaoyao Sect to me.
If you have to say it, you should call me Master Master now..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to grab it, and used the "Tianshan Plum-Breaking Hand" move to reach out.
Then a soft cry was heard, and the long sword of a maid next to Mrs. Wang came out of her hand, and was caught in the air by Meng Xiuyuan.
"You...you are really the descendant of Xiaoyao Sect..."
When Mrs. Wang saw Meng Xiuyuan showing such a skill, her expression changed drastically, and she confirmed Meng Xiuyuan's identity in her heart.
But surprisingly, even if the matter reached this point, Mrs. Wang still had no good feelings towards Meng Xiuyuan. She was only stunned for a moment, and then said to Meng Xiuyuan with that indifferent look:
"Uncle Meng, I haven't seen my 'biological father' since I was five years old.
I have long forgotten what he looks like.
That gemstone ring on your hand is already my only impression of him.
Therefore, whatever words he says or promises he makes have nothing to do with me.
If you want to go to Langhuan Jade Cave to read, he doesn't care.
Only if you get my mother's permission can I agree to you."
As soon as Mrs. Wang said this, Meng Xiuyuan had no reaction, but Wang Yuyan was quite anxious.
She was afraid that her mother would offend Meng Xiuyuan, so she first looked at Meng Xiuyuan apologetically, and then hurriedly whispered to her mother:
"Mom, don't do this!
Mr. Meng is a rare hidden master. Why should we be in trouble with him?
What's more, you have recognized his identity. As juniors of the sect, we must respect him no matter what.
The secret book in Langhuan Jade Cave is not valuable, so what if you just let him take a look.
Don’t blame the previous generation’s grievances on this Mr. Meng..."
Wang Yuyan was smart enough to see at a glance that her mother had such a bad attitude toward Meng Xiuyuan because she was dissatisfied with her grandfather Wu Yazi, and wanted to persuade her to calm down.
But before Mrs. Wang could react, Meng Xiuyuan took the lead and waved his hand and said:
"Miss Wang, forget it.
In this case, I just take my leave..."
As he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan immediately walked out on the small boat.
Although he intended to go to the Langhuan Jade Cave to expand his martial arts knowledge, he was not in a hurry at this moment, and he didn't even bother to argue with this Taoist woman.
When Abi saw Meng Xiuyuan about to leave, although she was hindered by Mrs. Wang's majesty, she still hurriedly followed him and quickly caught up.
Just as the two were about to leave by boat, the small boat that had just followed Mrs. Wang just arrived at the shore.
I saw two more maids in green clothes walking out of the cabin, each holding an iron chain in their hands, and dragging two men out of the cabin. Both of them had their hands tied behind their backs and looked downcast.
Mrs. Wang acted as if there was no one around and said coldly to one of the men:
"You are obviously from Dali. When I arrested you, how could you deny it?"
The man with that surname replied blankly:
"I am from Yunnan, and my hometown is within the Song Dynasty, not Dali.
We have no grievances, why did you force me to come here?"
Mrs. Wang didn’t answer the man’s question, but just said:
"How far is your hometown from Dali?"
The man had no choice but to answer honestly:
"Almost more than four hundred miles."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang sneered and ordered the servant next to her:
"If you are less than five hundred miles away, you are considered a Dali native. You will be buried alive under the mandala flowers and used as fertilizer."
The man was shocked and angry when he heard the sound, and couldn't help shouting:
"What on earth did I commit? Please tell me clearly, otherwise I will die in peace.
I clearly don’t know you, and I’ve never offended you!”
Mrs. Wang sneered again and said:
"Oh, if you are from Dali or have the surname Duan, if you bump into me, you will be buried alive.
Although you are not from Dali, but you are close to Dali, then we will handle it as usual."
The man was in disbelief when he heard this, looked at Mrs. Wang with wide eyes and shouted:
"There are no such rules in the world. How can you kill hundreds of thousands of people in Dali?"
Why, why?!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang ignored him and just smiled as she watched the man being pulled into the depths of the flower forest, gradually getting further away, and his calls became softer.
Seeing such a conversation between the two, everyone present was shocked.
Wang Yuyan's face instantly turned pale, she grabbed her mother's arm fiercely, and said urgently:
"Mom, you can't do this anymore, let this person go!"
As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but look at the small boat Meng Xiuyuan was riding on, and her pupils trembled slightly.
Mrs. Wang laughed when she heard the sound, threw Wang Yuyan away, and said nonchalantly:
"Yan'er, today there are outsiders present, so you feel emboldened and dare to talk to me like this.
Why, are you afraid that Uncle Meng will see injustice and interfere in my business?
Hahaha, don’t worry, the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect are free and indulgent, but there has never been such a moral saint."
But before Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Meng Xiuyuan, who was supposed to be leaving by boat, suddenly stood in front of her.
Meng Xiuyuan's brows were furrowed, and his expression was even colder than when he was refused entry into the Langhuan Jade Cave just now:
"Good nephew, you are wrong. I really have to take care of this noisy matter.
Please come and talk to me carefully about how many innocent people you have harmed over the years..."
