Chapter 124 Going Up the Mountain

  Third watch!

  ——

  Yan Qingniu was undoubtedly a very beautiful woman, with a head of raven-black long hair, willow eyebrows and cherry lips, her skin as white and delicate as frozen fat, a sight to behold.

  However, Chen Xiao's impression of her was not good. When Mu Yao and his sister were being tightly pursued by Xie Zhan, this woman's evasive attitude was taken in by him without a single leak, and he understood in his heart that this woman was extremely skilled at weighing the pros and cons, and was meticulous in her plans, not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

  "Qing Niao sister." Mu Yao called out from the side, but her younger brother Mu Wen Fei curled his lip, apparently, the little guy had also sensed Yan Qing Niao's change in attitude earlier.

  "Come with me, isn't Wen Fei going to join the Liuyun Sword Sect?" Yan Qingniao wouldn't bother with a little kid like that, and with a light smile, she extended her own invitation.

  For Mu Yao and her brother, Chen Xiao really didn't know how to deal with them. Now he was also a lone wolf who had thoroughly offended the Su family, and taking the siblings along would obviously implicate the two of them.

  "I won't, I want to worship Chen Yuanda as a teacher." Mu Wentian's small face rose up, saying loudly.

  Make me your master?

  Chen Xiao was taken aback, feeling both amused and touched by the trust placed in him, but he knew he couldn't possibly agree. He had a clear understanding of his own abilities, and taking Mo Wenfei as an apprentice would be misleading the young man.

  However, looking at the determination and hope in the little guy's eyes, Chen Xiao didn't know what excuse to use to respond. Especially with the little guy standing next to a sister whose eyes shone like stars on a dark night, also staring at him with hope, Chen Xiao felt even more pressure.

  "Since you don't want to go to Liuyun Sword Sect, then come to my place."

  Du Qingxi glanced at Mu Yao, then pretended to be nonchalant and swept a glance at Chen Tang, immediately issuing an invitation. In her heart, she thought: "This little girl obviously has a crush on Chen Tang too. By pulling his siblings into my household, I can prevent her from further contact with Chen Tang..."

  At this thought, Du Qingxi's heart skipped a beat, her pretty face flushed with heat. What was wrong with her? Why did she always want to guard against every woman who got close to Chen Tang?

  Chen Xiao didn't know that Du Qingxi had already turned over countless little thoughts in her mind, and smiled as she nodded towards Mu Wenfei: "This proposal is not bad, the Du family is one of the six major families in Longyuan City, as long as you work hard and practice diligently, you will definitely become powerful."

  "But..." Wu Wenfei was unwilling, but was slapped on the head by his sister Wu Yao, who said: "Listen to Brother Chen's words, it must be right."

  "Oh, okay." Mu Wenfei sulked.

  Chen Xiao smiled, and casually pulled out a Lingguang flowing armor-type treasure that was only the size of a palm. The surface patterns were faintly visible, and the aura spread out. From afar, one could tell it was no ordinary item. He handed it to Mu Wenfei: "This Ink Cloud Armor is for you to protect yourself."

  Middle-grade defensive treasure of the Yellow Rank?

  Rebuffed by Mo Wenfei, Yan Qingni was somewhat depressed, but after seeing Chen Tai, she took out a defensive treasure and gave it to him, and her depression dissipated.

  Although she could take out the Huang Jie Fa Bao, she was reluctant to give it away so easily, especially since she had already realized that this brother and sister would receive even greater care after entering the Du family, far surpassing what she herself had experienced as an outer disciple of the Liu Yun Sword Sect.

  At this moment, even she herself envied the good luck of this brother and sister.

  "Hmm? Right, this storage belt style is exquisite, simple and elegant, very suitable for Muyao, I'll give it to you." Chen Xiao took out another storage belt and handed it to Muyao.

  Storage-type treasures, storage bags are the worst, while those that can be refined into rings, jade bangles, belts, and wrist guards are worth more than a single low-grade yellow-tier treasure.

  When Chen Xiao casually gave another storage waistband to someone, Yan Qingniu thought of the first time she saw Chen Xiao, when she threw out a bottle of Ba Jin Ling liquid like a beggar, and felt regretful and embarrassed in her heart, with a kind of "giving a treasure to a fool" feeling.

  Yan Qingniu immediately bid farewell and left, she didn't dare stay any longer, afraid of being stimulated again.

  "Brother Chen, are my brother and I a bit too calculating?" Mu Yao nervously held onto the storage belt, seeing Yan Qing Nai turn around and leave again, she felt a little uneasy for a moment. Her delicate face turned to look at Chen Tai, as if seeking some comfort from him.

  "This is taking responsibility for myself and my brother, I believe that as long as you two siblings get better and become stronger, your sister Qingniao will definitely look at you with new eyes and won't care about these trivial matters anymore."

  Chen Xiao smiled and said, if Yan Qingniao heard Chen Xiao's evaluation of her, she would probably feel like her heart had been seen through and would cover her face and leave. Because she was indeed a person who was extremely good at distinguishing between advantages and disadvantages.

  "Oh, I'll listen to Brother Chen." Mu Yao clenched her small fist tightly and burst out laughing, those bright eyes sparkling like stars curved into a beautiful crescent shape, looking especially pure and innocent.

  Witnessing this scene, Du Qingxi's determination to bring the siblings into the family grew stronger. This little girl was a femme fatale, already knowing how to entice men at such a young age. What would she be like in a few more years?

  "Come on, go to my house." said Domon Tsurugi, sitting in his six-wheeled carriage.

  "No, Chen Xiao must go to my house!" Du Qingxi retorted with her mouth open, and as soon as she spoke, she felt something was off. Her usual icy beauty like a snow lotus suddenly flushed with a hint of red, and for an instant, the world seemed dull in comparison to her stunning face.

  Chen Xiao was stunned.

  Song Lin was stunned.

  Du Mu Ze's face turned dark, and he felt an increasing urge to drink alcohol.

  "I didn't mean it that way, I..." Du Qingxi thought the more he tried to explain, the more flustered he became, so he simply shut his mouth, but his eyes dared not glance at Chen Yu again, afraid of being ridiculed by this guy.

  "None of your homes, I won't go either. Let's find a quiet place and have a drink together." Chen Quan smiled.

  So he also has his considerations, after all, the three people have a large family behind them. Now that he has thoroughly offended the Su family, going to any of the three families would not make the three people think anything, but it would bring about the exclusion of their clansmen, and thus affect the impression of the three people in the hearts of their respective family members. Moreover, if he did so, it would seem like Chen Tai was afraid of being hunted down by the Su family and went to seek refuge.

  So it's still best not to go to the three families, and if you must go, solve the trouble with the Su family first.

  Du Qingxi and the other two, being the children of powerful families, had been exposed to cunning strategies since childhood. Their minds were sharp and transparent, and they quickly guessed Chen Yao's concerns, so it was not good to say anything more.

  It's just that saying it again... would sound too fake and too out of place.

  ——

  ——

  Longyuan City's western suburbs, where nearly a hundred miles of various courtyards are densely packed, far from the hustle and bustle, with a quiet and elegant environment. Many wealthy merchants and family heirs in Longyuan City will set up a mansion courtyard here as their own leisure and entertainment venue.

  At this moment, in a secluded courtyard shaded by one of the trees.

  After a long time of drinking and chatting, Du Qingxi and the others had already left. In the vast courtyard, only Chen Tang was left, along with Xiao Lingbai and Bai Kui.

  When saving the siblings of Mu Yao, the two little guys were thrown into a storage ring by Chen Tai. Although the space inside was not large, there were many magical treasures and spiritual materials, enough for these two little foodies to eat happily for a while.

  But after Chen Yu put the two little ones out, they became lively and restless, jumping around in the courtyard, picking fruits from trees, digging insects from mud, and taking bird eggs from nests under the eaves... In short, not a moment of peace.

  Chen Xiao saw this and didn't interfere with them. He just instructed Xiaolingbai to help him take care of the door, then walked into the house.

  "Wow!"

  Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Tang didn't delay any longer and began to cultivate his internal energy.

  Before leaving the Gathering Immortal Building today, Xie Meng's words made him start worrying about his younger brother's safety. His younger brother was young and had a stubborn personality, only focusing on his own sword path, and didn't understand human emotions or worldly affairs. Such a temperament would probably not be very welcome in the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect.

  This is nothing, Chen Tang's greatest worry was still the Su family's revenge.

  Su Jiao's brother, Su Zhen, is now a closed disciple of a Nirvana Great Cultivator in the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect. His status in the sect must be extremely high. Such a person doesn't need to take action himself; as long as he shows a hint of dissatisfaction towards his younger brother, there will be countless people skilled at observing expressions and flattering him who will go out of their way to find trouble for his younger brother.

  If such troubles occur one after another, it's hard to guarantee that my brother's safety will not be harmed.

  This is something Chen Tang absolutely did not want to see.

  Because in this world, he only has his younger brother left as a relative, and earlier because of the Li family's ambush, he cut off his right hand. If something unexpected happens again, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

  So Chen Tang decided to go see his brother tonight.

  Many things are better done early than late. Rather than believing that nothing will happen, it's better to take action ahead of time and nip all troubles in the bud.

  "Whoosh!"

  In the dead of night, a figure took advantage of the cover of darkness and disappeared into the vast night like a wisp of faint wind.

  "The Liuyun Sword Sect is located in the southeast of Longyuan City, on top of Liuyun Mountain. The mountain covers an area of 10,000 hectares, with numerous peaks rising within it. There are as many as 100,000 disciples inside. If you want to find someone without a familiar guide, it's simply impossible."

  And around the mountain gate, there are many large arrays of protection. Once discovered that an outsider has infiltrated, not to mention a Zifu repairman, even a Two Instruments Golden Elixir repairman would die without a place to bury his body.

  After a stick of incense, Chen Yu stood in front of a majestic and magnificent mountain range, and in his mind, he once again heard Duanmu Ze's introduction to the Liu Yun Jian Zong when drinking.

  "This Liuyun Sword Sect is indeed formidable, having laid out thousands of layers of sword arrays. Each array's power is enough to kill a Two Instruments Golden Dan cultivator. If they were all activated, even a Nirvana Great Cultivator wouldn't dare take a step forward." Xiaolingbai stood on Chenxiu's shoulder, her eyes gazing at the majestic mountains surrounding them as she repeatedly praised.

  "Is there a way to break it?" Chen Xiao suddenly thought, this little guy is a sword soul who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and the master he follows is also a powerful person who has realized the supreme quiet extinction sword path. Since he can recognize the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect's sword array, it's naturally possible that he has a way to break it.

  "With my current strength, I still can't break through, but wanting to avoid these large arrays is extremely easy for me." Xiaoling's white sleeves were crossed over her chest, and she looked up with a proud expression, her white clothes fluttering, as if she was the ruler of the world.
