Sima Manli and Shopkeeper Qian did not overstep the mark. They stood there and watched the mysterious man wearing a silver waistband respectfully retreat.
Sima Manli looked at Shopkeeper Qian.
Shopkeeper Qian took a deep breath: "Advanced positions and titles... These are all the seniors deserve, even if they are given the title of king with a different surname, it is not an exaggeration. After all, he is a great master."
After Sima Manli saw the silver waist card, she knew that the relationship between their Sima family and Pei Jinye would probably end here.
"That is!"
Shopkeeper Qian was suddenly startled.
Sima Manli also looked over, and her expression quickly changed.
I just wanted to shout.
However, Sima Yingjun had already trotted into Pei Jinye's small courtyard.
It was too late for Sima Manli to say anything at this time.
"Don't worry, Miss. Senior Pei is not that kind of person. Although he doesn't have the title of master and disciple to the young master, he still has a master-disciple relationship." Shopkeeper Qian comforted him in a low voice.
Sima Manli could only sigh quietly.
"The banquet in the world will never end."
"Sir, are you leaving?"
Sima Yingjun's tone was anxious, and the expression on his face was cautious.
Pei Jinye saw him appear. He did not explain immediately, but waved to him to take a seat, as usual: "The key to cultivating swordsmanship is to cultivate words, calm down, and feel well."
Sima Yingjun had some panic on his face.
He didn't want to leave Pei Jinye.
Normally, he would naturally feel embarrassed and unable to say some things.
But right now he can't take care of that much.
"Sir, let me go with you."
Pei Jinye looked at it with a smile, feeling relieved as he had never felt before, but he shook his head: "My path is not suitable for you. Practice hard. The art of raising swords is enough to make you a master of one. Wait until you understand the second level of raising swords." With just a few words, you can get out of Nandu, and we will meet again then."
He actually didn't know whether they would meet again or not.
Then tell a white lie.
Sima Yingjun's expression gradually became serious: "Sir, I will never let you down."
"I trust you."
Pei Jinye nodded in greeting.
Sima Yingjun stood up, took a few steps back, and then bowed heavily to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye accepted his bow calmly.
Wait until Sima Yingjun leaves.
The night gradually darkened.
The Sima family experienced a unique fight, and all the evil spirits were eliminated. They also received raw silk from the Jiang family, which not only made up for the loss, but even made a lot more.
Pei Jinye has already agreed to the royal family's invitation.
In this way, he can legitimately go to Liyue Sword Sect.
The royal family also needed divine water.
Therefore, if Pei Jinye can really obtain the divine water from Liyue Sword Sect, according to their thinking, Pei Jinye will definitely pay tribute when he has become theirs.
For this reason, the royal family can't wait to promote this matter.
Pei Jinye will set off tomorrow morning, take the royal family's ship, and go to Liyue Sword Sect to pay a visit on behalf of the royal family!
What Feiyao was saying seemed to be frightened, and he quickly flew behind Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye looked up.
On the opposite rafter.
A figure like a swordsman descended slowly, standing with his hands behind his back.
Pei Jinye looked over.
He recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
Liu Yingyue’s master, Bi Yuntao!
The grand master of Liyue Sword Sect!
Bi Yuntao didn't say a word nonsense, and a light flashed across his hand.
The leaves on both sides fell with a crash, as if they were called by the strong wind, forming a giant sword in mid-air.
It burst out of the air instantly.
Pei Jinye also remained silent.
But he didn't even make any move.
The giant sword that came to him, which was condensed from countless fallen leaves, had collapsed inch by inch.
Bi Yuntao was shocked.
"You are strong."
He spoke in a deep voice.
There was a dull "boom".
An invisible force condensed from Pei Jinye, who had no intention of listening to Bi Yuntao's words.
The sword of Gangfeng suddenly fell.
Bi Yuntao's figure disappeared from the place instantly.
Just when Pei Jinye was about to close the window, he heard Bi Yuntao's voice coming over.
"Tomorrow, there will be a battle at Immortal Burial Lake. From now on, the grudges between us will be settled."
Bi Yuntao didn't know where he went after leaving these words.
Pei Jinye did not chase after him.
Liyue Sword Sect is located in the north of Yaoguang Ancient Kingdom.
This trip also requires passing through the Immortal Burial Lake.
Since this great master wants to have a decisive battle tomorrow, he will gather at the Immortal Burial Lake tomorrow.
"What's wrong, Uncle Qian?"
In the study, Sima Manli noticed that shopkeeper Qian suddenly became wary, and his face suddenly changed.
"There are experts." Shopkeeper Qian's face was solemn.
He was suddenly startled.
"gone?"
"Is it Senior Pei's side?" Sima Manli asked worriedly.
At this moment, Pei Jinye's voice reached the study: "It doesn't matter."
Shopkeeper Qian's heart skipped a beat, then he shook his head with a wry smile.
This Master Pei... is really unfathomable.
So he couldn't understand it even more... If he was so powerful, why did he still need to ask him about cultivation matters?
Sima Yingjun got up early and went directly to Pei Jinye.
He wanted to see him off.
But it came to nothing.
Pei Jin left early in the morning.
Come and go without a trace.
Sima Manli seemed to know that this would be the case. She sighed quietly in her heart and walked to the yard where Pei Jinye had been before.
The building has long since been deserted.
"Sister." Sima Yingjun turned around and saw that it was Sima Manli. The expectation in his heart was once again disappointed: "Sir, he is gone."
"All good things come to an end."
"I know."
Sima Yingjun turned his back and wiped his eyes.
As if she hadn't seen it, Sima Manli turned around and said: "I cooked your favorite red bean porridge and ate enough to have the strength to practice. Maybe Master Pei is also waiting for you to walk in front of him one day. "
"Really?" Sima Yingjun turned around quickly and looked eagerly.
"Really!" Sima Manli chuckled and touched her brother's head, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, go and eat quickly."
"Um!"
At this moment, all the ships in the entire port were docked, except for a luxurious official ship with a carved dragon head slowly sailing away.
This is a royal ship.
And they drove over from the Imperial City overnight.
The entire Nandu government was frightened and thought that they had caused some big leak. There had been killings in the Sima and Liu families, and now they heard that someone was coming from the imperial city.
Everyone thought it happened.
No one in the entire Nandu government had a peaceful sleep.
It is said that he even frightened a county magistrate to death.
Pei Jinye didn't care about what happened in the government.
I drank a bowl of oil tea on the street this morning and then sat in meditation.
Witnessed the Nandu government blocking the entire port.
Until Manager Li from the Imperial City Department showed up, everyone in the Southern Capital officialdom greeted him respectfully.
However, Manager Li ignored them and just looked at them. Then he pushed aside everyone and came to Pei Jinye. He showed a rare flattering smile: "Pei Hou, do you remember me? I spent a lot of time on my last trip to the south of the Yangtze River." I can’t forget it, I didn’t expect that I would be able to admire the true face of Marquis Pei again.”
He offered it with both hands and handed over the royal token from the imperial city.
Pei Jinye looked at the jade token and played with it playfully.
In the ancient kingdom of Yaoguang, princes with different surnames refused to worship the king when they saw him, and their status was extremely high.
Of course, this is also related to strength.
Seeing what Manager Li was doing, the Nandu Governor who followed was shocked when he saw Manager Li of the Imperial City Division acting like this. He quickly looked at Pei Jinye and did not dare to take a closer look. He bowed politely and said, "Jiang Yingrong, the Governor of Nandu, I’ve seen...Pei Hou."
All the officials behind him bowed their heads and said, "I have seen Marquis Pei."
No one knew that a marquis was actually in their southern capital.
They had no idea before.
Does this mean that Pei Hou is aware of what happened in Nandu last night?
Jiang Yingrong, the governor of Southern Capital, was worried.
He doesn't know what the royal family means?
This layout...he couldn't see through it at all.
Damn it, the Emperor is so far away that he still has such deep thoughts!
That's when.
Pei Jinye stood up. He had no idea about these people.
"gone."
"Yes, Marquis Pei, please come this way."
Manager Li was accompanying him. He had received the emperor's order to obey Marquis Pei's instructions and must get the divine water.
So I'm respectful for now.
All the civil and military officials in Nandu made way for them.
Manager Li accompanied Pei Jinye on the boat.
He didn't even exchange polite greetings with Nandu officials, but no one dared to complain at all.
The Imperial City Division itself works for the emperor, and no one else but the emperor can be taken seriously by them.
Not to mention officials like them who can't even enter the imperial city...
Whenever the Imperial City Secretary wants to take action, just laying out any charges is enough.
Watch the royal ship move away.
Jiang Yingrong, the governor of Nandu, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The subordinate next to him couldn't help but whisper and wanted to ask something, but Jiang Yingrong shook his head slightly and stopped what he said next.
The boat travels fifteen miles.
Passing by the Immortal Burial Lake.
At this time, it began to rain lightly on the lake. For a while, the spring rain was blurred, and it was like a thread of thousands of sorrows, hanging down on this piece of heaven and earth.
Just when the Nandu officials on the shore were about to leave, someone suddenly exclaimed.
"I just got news that a great master from the Liyue Sword Sect has made an appointment to fight with Marquis Pei!"
With a "boom", the expressions of everyone in the entire crowd changed.
"Grandmaster? A fight?"
"Are you sure it's Marquis Pei?"
"What is the origin of this Marquis Pei? Is he also a great master?"
"Why is Liyue Sword Sect also involved?"
In surprise.
Someone suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, the eldest daughter of the Liu family seems to have joined the Liyue Sword Sect in the early years."
"If that's the case... people from the Liyue Sword Sect are not uncommon in our southern capital."
"Don't forget that the Liu family was slaughtered last night. The whereabouts of the two Liu family siblings are unknown. People from the Liyue Sword Sect appear here, which makes people think a lot."
"But what does the Liu family's affairs have to do with Marquis Pei? Shouldn't it be the Sima family?"
"etc!"
The person who spoke was suddenly shocked: "Could it be..."
Even Jiang Yingrong, the governor of Nandu, couldn't help but look at it.
"Could it be that Marquis Pei knows someone from the Sima family? What happened last night... did he take action?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
"This Marquis Pei doesn't seem to be very big... If he is a great master, then..."
"It is said that when you practice to a certain level, you can maintain your appearance. Perhaps this Marquis Pei is an old man who has been practicing for a hundred years."
"The Grand Master Battle is a rare event."
Jiang Yingrong thought for a moment and said hurriedly: "Prepare the ship."
He said righteously: "We must ensure the safety of Marquis Pei, and also let the Red Feather Army deploy to guard against someone trying to do something secretly."
"yes!"
Everyone happily followed Jiang Yingrong to watch the battle.
Little did he know that at this moment, murderous intent was brewing on the Immortal Burial Lake!
"The Liyue Sword Sect has existed for more than a hundred years and has never seen an opponent. Today, I will fight with you as the protector of the Liyue Sword Sect."
On the Immortal Burial Lake.
A figure wearing a raincoat is fishing in the middle of the lake.
It's obviously very far away.
But the sound was conveyed extremely clearly.
Manager Li looked horrified and looked at Pei Jinye hurriedly.
at the same time.
the other side.
In an attic somewhere, Silver Waist Card was standing respectfully in front of the table.
Opposite him, a middle-aged man was eating the food on the table leisurely, with a touch of gold looming around his waist.
"Sir Xu, Marquis Pei has already met the man from the Liyue Sword Sect on the Immortal Burial Lake. My subordinates are worried that if Marquis Pei loses, won't he be betraying the emperor's favor?"
"It doesn't matter, I will take action."
move! As expected, everyone still loves me. My monthly ticket sales exceeded 300 overnight. I’m really touched! I will write more in each chapter (I am currently sorting out the outline and determining the direction. I want to get back to my daily routine! I will definitely be able to do it!!)
