"Brother Mu, who is Zhuang Xing just now?"
"Zhuang Xing is the only son of Marquis Yueyang. He has been pampered since he was a child, and has become the arrogant and domineering character he is today. He is a lustful playboy. He has no ability himself, but just relies on his status as the Twelfth Marquis. He usually travels around. He has a master by his side, so don’t provoke him easily.”
"What's the difference between Yueyang City, Yunhai City, and Long'an City? How can one family be so domineering?"
"When the Hao Dynasty was established, the fifteen people who followed the late emperor and made great contributions were awarded titles and fiefs. Yueyang City became the fiefdom of the banker."
"Then why is it the Twelve Marquis?"
"There are three families with higher titles, so the twelve families with the title of marquis are collectively called the Twelve Marquis."
"It turns out that Brother Mu was protected by the imperial court after his contribution to the founding of the country."
Mu Chengfeng smiled and said: "Even so, the relationship between these families and the imperial court is actually very complicated. When the late emperor established the Hao Kingdom, in order to prevent these important ministers from overpowering the emperor, he used the title of marquis and land rewards as an opportunity to exploit them. They controlled the power of each family and made a decree that no one could enter the court without being summoned. Therefore, in the past few decades, the Twelve Princes have basically relied on their past accumulation to continue, and most families have rarely interacted with the royal family."
"Then the Twelve Marquises are now considered a noble family in the world?"
"You are right to say so, but it is different. The Jianghu family was once the family of Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world, such as the Su family in Guanzhong. The Twelve Marquises are regarded as the royal reward establishment, but their background is better than that of some Jianghu families. A lot stronger. So the Jianghu sect and the Jianghu family are one thing, but the Twelve Marquises are another thing."
"I see."
"Mo Bai, although we have known each other for a short time, we have hit it off. I hope you don't think that I am the same person because of Zhuang Xing's behavior."
"Brother Mu is joking, but you are both the heirs of the Twelfth Marquis, so you are really different."
"Hahaha, even if the twelve princes are all canonized by the royal family, each family has its own style and rules, which have been passed down for three or four generations. It is normal to see big differences. Today I see Zhuang Xing like this, and he is a banker. The only son of this generation, it seems that this banker is not far from decline."
"It's really a pity to be born like this and not love yourself."
"It doesn't matter that you don't understand many things, but when you talk, you always give people a feeling of being old-fashioned."
"Have it?"
"Yes, but Fairy Bai is not wrong, her actions are still a bit reckless."
Chen Mobaidao had no way to defend himself from this comment, he just smiled bitterly.
"Although your external injury did not damage your muscles and bones, the thunder energy in your body cannot be ignored. The thunder phase's true energy is extremely domineering, and Qi Yangzi's thunder energy is unparalleled in the world. Before the thunder energy in your body is resolved, even if you don't use your true energy It will also cause damage to the muscles and veins, and if you rush to activate the Qi again, it will only accelerate the damage to yourself."
"No wonder I feel pain like needle pricks all over my body when I exert force, but Miss Bai is also injured. I don't think she cares about it."
Mu Chengfeng sighed and said, "She just doesn't want others to see her arrogant personality, and she has ice phase energy. I guess she must have used some kind of skill to ease the erosion of Lei Jin."
"It turns out that Miss Bai has ice-phase Qi. No wonder there was a slight chill in her Qi when she was healing my wounds. I really didn't know that this thunder power was so fierce. I was too careless before."
"But having said that, Fairy Bai risks being corroded by Lei Jin when she heals your injuries. I think with her character, the more she scolds you now, the more she will care about your injuries."
When Chen Mobai heard this, he felt a warmth welling up in his heart, but he asked uncertainly: "Is this really true?"
Mu Chengfeng rolled his eyes angrily and replied: "No, she just thinks you are stupid. Anyway, just don't use your true energy again until the thunder energy in your body is eliminated."
A night of silence.
The next day, Mu Chengfeng went to the two of them to discuss: "Judging from what I have heard about Zhuang Xing's behavior style before, after what happened yesterday, it is probably impossible for him to come back frustrated and stop causing trouble. Therefore, we We still need to find a way to leave. Fairy Bai, how is your injury now?"
Bai Yuehan said disdainfully: "Wei Nanguan is okay, but if we add those two old men, we will only be able to escape at most."
"That might be a bit troublesome."
"You can't handle the others?"
"You don't know something. Since Zhuang Xing is an only son, why don't he have some experts accompanying him? I didn't see anyone who matched him who was present yesterday. He must have been temporarily absent."
"What state should that person be in?"
"As expected, it's the Transformation Realm."
Bai Yuehan hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "What realm are you in?"
"What do you mean? You don't want me to hold back the master of transformation, do you?"
Bai Yuehan stared at him and ignored him, just waiting for Mu Chengfeng to answer his question.
Mu Chengfeng shook his head and said: "You have just entered the realm of life, and with the Thirteen Seals of Subduing Demons, you can hold back half a step of transformation and half a stick of incense."
"Brother Mu is actually a master of the life realm."
Chen Mobai was surprised by Mu Chengfeng's level and thought that Murong Tianji was in the same Shengxiang state because of his extraordinary talent, coming from the Star Sword Sect, and being slightly older than Mu Chengfeng. At such a young age, Mu Chengfeng is actually in a state of birth, and his martial arts talent is higher than that of Murong Tianji.
"Mo Bai, you misunderstood. It's just that my Mu family has a secret method that can activate the muscles and veins in a short period of time, stimulate potential, and improve one's cultivation level. The side effect is that the body will bear the load and will become weak and fatigued after using the secret method. It takes a while, so even if I can fight two moves against a master of transformation in a short period of time, it doesn’t mean I really have that kind of ability.”
"Isn't that the case of success or failure?"
"It's not necessary to describe it like this, although the meaning is similar..."
Bai Yuehan interrupted the chat between the two and said, "Give me two days, maybe I can have the confidence to fight against the Transformation Realm."
"Well, now that Zhuang Xing knows my identity, he probably won't dare to mess around in the city."
"If you dare to do this again..."
"Don't worry! I know the seriousness of my internal injuries, and I will never take action this time."
Before Bai Yuehan finished his serious warning, Chen Mobai quickly expressed his position.
For two days, Bai Yuehan spent most of her time in her room recovering from her injuries, only occasionally calling Mu Chengfeng to help her buy some medicine. Apart from that, Mu Chengfeng almost always stayed with Chen Mobai.
For a newcomer like Chen Mobai, Mu Chengfeng was very willing to help him expand his knowledge of Jianghu anecdotes. At the same time, he was also curious about what happened before Chen Mobai got involved in Jianghu. In two days, the two became more familiar with each other, and became a little closer to Chen Mobai.
"Mo Bai, I'm very curious when it comes to your strange iron rod. Even if you grew up in the mountains, from your story, your grandfather must have been a master. How come he didn't even have a sword to hand, so he gave it to you? Such a tough guy."
"If you get used to it, the sword will be sharp and easy to hurt, but this iron rod will stop you. It's just right."
"There is a saying that you may not understand now, but I still hope you remember that people in the world are mixed. Sometimes you are kind to others, but you may be cruel to yourself. Although you have such a personality that you are always kind to others, it is best not to It’s too undefended, so the so-called guarding against others is essential.”
Chen Mobai paused for a moment and replied: "Brother Mu, aren't you being kind to others these days?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Mo Bai, you are a rare clean person, so I really don't want you to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself because you are too kind. You don't have to think about why I said this now, but you must remember what I said. "
"Brother Mu's teachings, Mo Bai should remember them."
"Don't teach him randomly."
At this time, Bai Yuehan's voice came from outside the door.
Mu Chengfeng stood up and opened the door, and saw Bai Yuehan leaning against the wall outside the house, holding the sword in front of his chest, looking like he was ready for everything.
"Ready to go?" Mu Chengfeng asked.
"Um."
After two days, Chen Mobai and others were ready to set off again, but their every move was monitored at all times, and they had already reported to Zhuang Xing.
After leaving the inn, Mu Chengfeng suddenly stopped, looked at the sky and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's wait and leave."
"Why?" Chen Mobai was confused.
Mu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Wait for the wind."
"How long?" Bai Yuehan also had doubts about Mu Chengfeng's sudden behavior, but she still had a slightly different view of him after knowing his identity.
"After a rough calculation, it's almost an hour."
The three of them returned to the inn and sat down. Chen and Bai looked at Mu Chengfeng with confusion, but he calmly ordered a pot of tea, poured it in each, and drank it leisurely.
"Brother Mu, what's the problem with setting off now?"
Mu Chengfeng said with a smile: "I was observing the sky just now. If we go out of the city and encounter that group of people now, with the abilities of Miss Bai and I, we are less than 50% sure of escaping unscathed. If we wait for an hour and leave, I will be 80% or 90% sure." grasp."
"Looking at the sky during the day? Brother Mu, are you talking nonsense?"
"Haha, the secret must not be revealed."
Bai Yuehan listened on the side and did not answer. Judging from Mu Chengfeng's confident look, he seemed to be confident.
An hour passed while drinking tea, and the three of them also left the city in a carriage. After walking for a while, Yunhai City had disappeared behind him. Mu Chengfeng drove the car leisurely and contentedly, seeming to have forgotten that he might encounter danger at any time.
"You really kept me waiting for a long time."
When Mu Chengfeng heard the sound and looked over, Zhuang Xing and others were already blocking the road not far ahead. Looking back, Wei Nanguan and people from the Huo Phosphorus Sect and the Golden Knife Sect also came out from both sides of the road and blocked the way.
"You are so mobilized that you even hesitate to make a grudge against the Mu family?" Mu Chengfeng asked.
"There is no reason why I can't get the person I want, and there is no one around here. Who knows what kind of people you have provoked have been killed. How can you blame me?"
"I didn't expect that the unlearned young master Zhuang Xing would still use his brain, but he just didn't know how to use it in the right way. As far as I know, the Marquis of Yueyang himself didn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about Weiyang Palace. You are really cowardly. Baotian."
Zhuang Xing snorted coldly, and said with a gradually sullen expression: "Just because you don't dare to provoke me doesn't mean that I don't dare to provoke you. It's widely rumored that there are many beautiful women in the world, but they are less than half of those in Weiyang Palace. Not to mention that the seven fairies are all in shame. If one day I take over the Weiyang Palace and turn it into a courtyard to welcome guests from all over, it will be a different kind of scenery. But don’t worry, Ice Fairy, I won’t let others enjoy it, you fairies, naturally. I love you personally.”
"court death!"
Zhuang Xing's dirty words had made Bai Yuehan in the carriage unbearable, and the cold light flew out of the sedan. The old man beside Zhuang Xing quickly drew his sword and deflected the cold light. A man in white clothes jumped out from the car and took back the cold light and held it in his hand. It was Bai Yuehan's sword, named Xixue.
"White Fairy's sword is as white and delicate as a fairy. There were some scribbles on it that I didn't take a closer look at last time. Today, I saw it and it turned out to be true. But after seeing the sword, I wonder if the fairies are also as slim and fair as this. "
Bai Yuehan couldn't bear such filthy words, so he burst out with his true energy, raised his sword and flew forward to take Zhuang Xing's life. Before the two old men from before could react, a broad sword was placed in front of Zhuang Xing, right against the opponent's sword edge.
