Chapter Thirty-Four: Want to Try?

  These two days, Fang Jie has been living in a daze. Every day, it seems like the only thing he can do is follow the horse carriage for twenty or thirty miles and then there's nothing else to do. This silly behavior of his was initially laughed at by Hong Xiu and those girls, but later on, it even became their form of entertainment.

  Fang Jie ran alongside the horse carriage, and in front of him, among the seven carriages with red sleeves, there would always be several beauties sticking their heads out of the window, waving beautiful handkerchiefs at Fang Jie.

  "Little Fang catches up with her sister, and her sister gives her candy."

  "Xiao Fang, let her be, catch up with sister's carriage and get on to keep sister company."

  "Little Fang said, 'Sister's car has something fun, if you catch up, I'll let you play.'"

  Fang Jie listened to these words and ran foolishly, not chasing after them, but always keeping the same distance, neither far nor near. Just enough to see clearly those girls' beautiful appearance, if someone waved at him, he would pretend to be silly and honest, waving a few times in response, always bringing laughter from the girls like silver bells.

  They thought he didn't understand romance, but they had no idea that someone was staring at their chests shaking due to the carriage's vibration. He especially liked a girl named Meng Qiu in the red sleeve, who looked shy and smiled with her mouth closed every time other girls waved and teased Fang Jie.

  She wasn't the prettiest, and she was quiet, but compared to those chattering girls, it was actually her who stood out. Of course, Fang Jie noticed her right away because of her impressive bustline. This girl usually didn't get off the carriage unless they encountered a small river or lake along the way; otherwise, she would stay on the carriage all day without getting bored. From this, Fang Jie discovered that she was a woman who loved water very much.

  Women are made of water, and the more they like water, the more gentle their nature will be. Fang Jie once made a bold statement to this effect, but the big dog driving the carriage snorted in derision, and Mu Xiaoyao let out a cold hum.

  Boys find joy in boys' company, girls find joy in girls' company. This journey is dull anyway, so it's good to have some fun.

  It's been ten days since we last encountered those 500 elite soldiers, and nothing out of the ordinary has happened. If I had to say something exciting did happen, it would be that two nights ago a pack of about six or seven Northwestern wolves tried to raid our campsite. At first, they were afraid of the bonfire, but later they worked up the courage to creep forward, and just as they were getting close to the campsite, they were scared off by the loud barking of the big dog that had been let out of its cart.

  Fang Jiehe and Mu Xiaoyao were not surprised, but the girls in the red sleeve were startled. The howling was even more unpleasant than a wolf's howl, they had never seen it before. However, the big dog's bark was not in vain, and the girls' attitude towards this unimpressive and dirty man suddenly changed greatly.

  Someone praised that having a big dog sleep is reassuring, more useful than raising a Tibetan Mastiff. After the big dog knew about this, he almost rushed over to strip off the pants of that ignorant girl and spank her, if not for Fang Jie stopping him, perhaps something would have happened. Of course, Fang Jie also had good intentions, he kept saying let me do it, let me do it, stripping off pants and spanking, but in the end, the big dog was stopped by him and lost his temper, letting Fang Jie go, Fang Jie instead lost his nerve.

  She twisted her waist, which was a disaster for the country and its people, and also raised that round buttocks to provoke the other party. If you really don't have the guts, you can practice first and find some courage from Little Waist Sister. Don't worry, Little Waist Sister will keep quiet no matter how you beat her.

  If Fang Jie hadn't spent 15 years with Mu Xiaoyao, he wouldn't have known how formidable this demoness was. Otherwise, seeing that plump and round butt, he might have charged over in one breath. Precisely because he understood her, he also avoided a disaster. Mu Xiaoyao waited for a while, seeing Fang Jie really didn't dare to come up and spank her own butt, said "how boring" and turned back into the horse carriage to sleep. Still carelessly exposing her pair of white legs, taking advantage of Fang Jie's thieving eyes.

  On the thirty-sixth day of leaving Fan Fortress, the caravan arrived at the intersection of Shandong Road and Hexi Road, where the mountains were rugged and steep. Although it was not among the top twenty in terms of scale within the Great Sui territory, it was renowned for its precipitous and majestic scenery, attracting many scholars and travelers to visit. The Taoist temple on the mountain had countless poems and writings left behind by visitors.

  This mountain is half in the Shandong Road and half in the Hexi Road, a place jointly managed by both places, but to put it bluntly, it's also a place that neither of them wants to manage. If it weren't for the strict division of territories after the Great Sui, Yuan Chongwu, the governor-general of Shandong Road, would have given this half of the mountain to Hexi Road long ago.

  The Hexi Road still had a small government office in the town of Shanzhen, but on the Shandong Road side, not even a single official could be seen. The reason was simple: this mountain was not far from Xiangcheng, where the Governor's Office of Hexi Road was located. The most famous place in Hexi Road was Xiangcheng. Not to mention that the Governor's Office was here, many wealthy and aristocratic families lived in Xiangcheng, with four or five out of ten residing there. Moreover, Xiangcheng was also the county seat of Longxi County.

  It has to be said that Li's big house is in Xiangcheng.

  Since the previous generation's family head, Li Luan, was conferred as a national duke by the former emperor, the Li family's status in Longxi County has been unmatched. Even Yang Xiucheng, the governor of Hexi Road, would show respect to the old master of the Li family and address him as "Shibo". It is worth noting that Yang Xiucheng is also related to the imperial family of the Great Sui Dynasty, his ancestors were among the meritorious officials who followed the Taizu of Sui in conquering the world, and are considered to be the cousins of the Taizu. However, after five generations, there is no longer any close blood relationship.

  Yang Xiucheng's ancestors were enfeoffed as a marquis due to their official position, but it was not hereditary. After three or five generations, they gradually declined, and by this generation, Yang Xiucheng had become the first governor in nearly sixty years for his family.

  Mushan is 128 li away from Xiangcheng, which is exactly the length of Chang'an City in the north-south direction.

  There was at least an hour before nightfall, but the madam ordered to stop and rest. The servants began to set up tents, choosing a place by the mountain, those servants didn't seem like ordinary people, the chosen location was easy to defend and hard to attack, although there were only over ten people, their movements were swift and neat, it could be seen that most of them also had a military background.

  Mo Xiao Yao slept in the horse carriage, Fang Jie was too lazy to set up a tent, the big dog was even lazier and could sleep anywhere, while Fang Jie always liked to squeeze together with Mo Xiao Yao.

  ……

  ……

  The Hexi Corridor is much better than the Shandong Corridor, although it's only separated by a single mountain range. The most beautiful scenery of this mountain range is that one mountain has two colors: the south mountain is lush and green, while the north mountain is covered in ice and snow.

  The west of the river is home to many wealthy families, and the scenery on this mountain is quite attractive. As soon as the weather warms up a bit, many young masters and misses from these families come here to play. If they get too carried away and don't want to go home, the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain is a good place to stay. It's clean, always has hot water ready, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable - it doesn't seem like a temple at all, more like a family-run inn.

  Because there were many tourists, the red sleeves recruited so many beauties that as soon as they got off the car, they immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. Especially those young masters from wealthy families, their eyes widened in surprise and almost couldn't move their feet. If it weren't for the dozen or so burly attendants on Red Sleeve's side, with an imposing presence, who knows how many rascals would have come over to flirt by now.

  Even so, there were still a few young men from prominent families who came over to deliberately make conversation. Each and every one of them was obviously uneducated, yet they insisted on putting on an air of refinement, pretending to be cultured, and striking poses, which actually provided the girls with entertainment, pointing fingers and discussing their appearance.

  Such a generous gesture, however, made those young masters even more reluctant to leave.

  Later, Xiao Ding brought a message from Xi Danni, telling the girls to behave themselves, otherwise they would be taken away by others and Xi Danni wouldn't care. Only then did the girls calm down and return to their tent to rest.

  The beautiful woman was gone, and those young men suddenly lost interest.

  It was at this time that the reluctant young masters discovered a lonely horse-drawn carriage not far from the Red Sleeve Camp, with a middle-aged man wearing an extremely rustic fur coat sitting on it, exuding a strong rural flavor, and no matter how you looked at him, he didn't seem like a good person.

  This lewd-looking man was nothing, at least he sat honestly in the carriage. What the elegant young masters couldn't tolerate was that there was a young man wearing a deep blue robe, although his eyebrows and eyes were clear and handsome, but his behavior was even more lewd and unbearable. He dared to take off his pants and urinate just across one carriage, only ten or so meters away from the Red Sleeve Camp.

  What an insult to Sweden, an absolute insult to Sweden.

  Look at that young man's clothes, although they are not brocade, but also a bookish style, at least he is literate, how can he do such a shameful thing?

  So, several righteous young masters immediately felt that this matter could not be ignored. Having such a young man among a group of heavenly beautiful girls was simply as disgusting as pulling a fart next to a white lotus.

  Then, Cui Gongzi, who was also somewhat famous in Xiangcheng, could no longer bear it and brought 4 or 5 servants to quickly walk over, with a fierce expression.

  Just as Fang Jie had just pulled down his pants and was halfway through urinating, he saw the group of people coming over with a menacing air, and immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

  But when it got halfway through and felt refreshing, it couldn't be stopped.

  "Where did this despicable little thief come from, how dare you do such a shameful thing in this beautiful scenic spot?! Over there is a group of heavenly beauties, and you're doing...you're urinating here, it's an insult to civilization! Shameless! Scum!"

  Chui Gongzi walked to a place about four or five steps away from Fang Jie and stood still, coldly sizing up Fang Jie as he spoke. As he spoke, Fang Jie had just finished urinating, and with a chuckle, he shook the thing off and said: "Sir, don't you need to pee?"

  Choi Gongzi was already angry, and seeing Fang Jie not taking himself seriously while shaking that thing made him even angrier. When he saw that the thing Fang Jie shook was actually two sizes bigger than his own, he became furious to the extreme. Clearly looking like a 15 or 16-year-old boy, how could it be so big? It's simply unreasonable.

  "Your words are even more vulgar! I don't know where you came from, some mountain bumpkin! Is this a place for you to be reckless? Get out of here quickly, I don't want to see you again! If not..."

  Fang Jie interrupted Cui Gongzi's words, which had only reached the halfway point: "If you don't obey, would you have your subordinates beat me into a pig's head? This young master... looks at your attire and taste, it seems that your background is not ordinary, and you must be a person with a refined mind and talented in learning. Not only is your appearance of the highest quality, but your character must also be of the highest quality. How can such a refined person do something as crude as ordering their followers to beat someone?"

  This remark made Cui Gongzi pause for a moment, and he felt somewhat pleased in his heart.

  "You're quite perceptive, I'll give you that. Since you can tell I'm not a commoner, what are you waiting for? Take yourself off before you get hurt, boy."

  He spoke more politely, apparently Fang Jie's flattery had a significant effect.

  "This young master is obviously a decent person, I sincerely admire him."

  Fang Jie adjusted his pants, tidied up his clothes, and made a fist: "I am Shang Guo Hen, from Hedong Dao. It's my good fortune to meet you, sir. May I ask your esteemed name?"

  "Chui Lue Shang"

  "Oh, there's a 'Shang' character in your name, and I also have a 'Shang' character in mine. What a coincidence!"

  Fang Jie leaned in and said: "It's truly rare. The young master's criticism just now was absolutely right, I sincerely admire it. However..."

  His mysterious expression and hesitant words made Cui Lue slightly stunned, and he subconsciously asked: "Just what?"

  Fang Jie replied in a low voice: "The young master is an upright person, it's better not to say anything."

  "You're the one who's being evasive, why don't you finish what you were saying?"

  "Sigh... Since you want to know, I'll tell you then... Young master, think carefully..."

  He whispered in a low voice: "There's a bunch of beauties over there, and it's not far from here to face those chicks and splash some urine on them. Isn't that a very refreshing thing?"

  "What? This... is completely unacceptable!"

  Chui Yue Chang's face turned red with embarrassment: "A scholar, how can you do such a thing..."

  "Want to give it a try?"

  Fang Jie smiled and said with a smile.

  "No way, I'm reading sacred books."

  "Want to give it a try?"

  "How can you do such a shameless thing?"

  "Want to give it a try?"

  "If this gets out, how can I, Cui Lüe, still show my face in Xiangcheng?"

  "Want to give it a try?"

  "Uh... okay, try it, but you mustn't tell anyone."

  "Don't worry!"

  Chui Lue's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and flashed to the back of the carriage, lifted up his brocade clothes and took down his pants, facing the red sleeve camp area preparing to urinate a most stimulating pee since birth. It was strange that he didn't have the energy, but that thing actually got hard.

  Fang Jie smiled and winked at the big dog. The big dog understood, nodded, suddenly jumped off the carriage and whipped the lazy horse's buttocks with a whip. The lazy horse was in pain and rushed forward suddenly.

  A loud voice shouted: "Oh no! The horse is startled!"

  That loud shout, the people on the other side of Red Sleeve's summons immediately looked over this way. All they saw was a refined-looking guy, holding onto that stiff thing with a lewd expression, staring at Red Sleeve's direction...

  Chapter Thirty-Four: Two Do Not Owe Each Other

  He pretended to be apologetic and glanced at Cui Lue, then took a step forward, opened his long gown and blocked Cui Lue behind him. Lowering his voice, he said: "Cui Gongzi, quickly turn your head around, don't let them see your appearance. This damn horse didn't get startled earlier or later, but had to get startled at this critical moment. A beast is a beast!"

  Chui Lue didn't see Fang Jie give the big dog a signal, and with a grateful glance at Fang Jie, he quickly turned around and pulled up his pants. At this time, his face was bright red, hot enough to cook an egg. He came from the Chui family of Longxi, although not as famous as the Chui family of Boling, but also one of the most prominent families in Longxi. From birth, he received a good education and had never done anything so humiliating before.

  The initial thrill of taking off pants is gone, leaving only shame and panic.

  He was adjusting his pants while still unable to help but worry that if those beautiful women had seen his appearance, what would happen? If this matter were to spread, how could he still mix in Xiangcheng? If his fellow students were to find out, he feared that he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in public again.

  The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

  Regretting a thousand times, shouldn't have been swayed by this young man's persuasion, or else how could I be so humiliated? But this young man rushed over to shield me at the first moment, not only didn't he kick me when I was down but instead helped me turn around quickly. This person still has some sense of justice.

  Although he was born into a noble family, he couldn't be considered foolish or stupid, but from a young age, he wasn't as agile and clever as his other brothers. He looked at things in an extremely simple way, and such people are rare in noble families. Because he had no city walls, although he was the eldest son of the family, his father never really liked him.

  He had a poor relationship with his father since childhood, and the more his father forced him to study and write, the more rebellious he became. In the end, his father almost gave up on him. He got along well with several young masters from noble families in Xiangcheng, but those people were not sincere in befriending him, they just treated him as a scapegoat, and nine out of ten times when they drank together, he was the one who paid the bill.

  He was thinking of Fang Jie's righteousness, how could he know that when he turned around to lift his pants, Fang Jie quietly moved half a step and exposed the white buttocks on that side. This time it was good, the girls on the red sleeve side suddenly shouted, but there was no panic at all, they were just teasing.

  Hearing those beauties' shrill cries, Cui Lue became even more embarrassed, said a word "brothers see you later", and ran out with his pants.

  "Little brother, you've come to Xiangcheng looking for me. I'll be leaving soon to head to the Imperial Capital to take the exam at the Martial Arts Institute. If you're also heading in that direction, we can travel together and make good time."

  The sound drifted over from far away, and the person had already turned around the mountain slope and disappeared without a trace.

  Fang Jie smiled and said, "Your lightness skill is not bad." The big dog pulled the lame horse back, smiling and saying, "I didn't expect to run into a future classmate, this thing was done in a very unorthodox way... It's all because of Hong Xiu's sleeves that those girls got an eyeful, later on we'll have to get some benefits from them."

  Mo Xiaoyao didn't even bother to deal with these two despicable men, and in the decades of exile, Daquan and Fang Jiegan were familiar with such things. Who knows how many honest people they have deceived? Mo Xiaoyao never thought that heaven was fair because of these two goods. If heaven really punished evil and promoted good, these two goods should have been beheaded long ago.

  "What's for dinner tonight?"

  The big dog laughed enough, rubbed his belly and asked: "Shall we two go up the mountain to take a stroll and see if we can hunt some wild game? I'm so tired of eating dry rations that I almost want to vomit. If I don't smell any meat soon, I'd rather return to Fan Gu Cheng."

  Fang Jie nodded and said: "Anyway, it's still early, we can go up the mountain to take a walk."

  The big dog tied up the struggling horse, and asked Mu Xiaoyao, who was lying in the carriage: "Are you going to take a walk? Look at this place, it's full of bees and butterflies preparing to collect flowers. What if some rascal sneaks into the carriage? Although Fang Jie and I don't treat you like a woman, after all, you are a woman..."

  "Get out!"

  Mei Xiaoyao scolded her for a moment.

  The big dog was scolded but didn't get angry, and just turned around and left. This kind of behavior where he looks for trouble himself happens every day, to put it bluntly, the most valuable thing about the big dog is his cheapness.

  Before the two of them went up the mountain, Fang Jie ran to Hong Xiu's side and borrowed a hard bow and quiver from one of the guards. When he came out of Fan Gu, he brought out a horizontal knife. The hard bow and feathered arrows were not his personal belongings, so they were all left behind. Of course, this horizontal knife was also not his personal belonging. Fang Jie's archery skills were actually quite good, if it weren't for that, Li Xiao Zong wouldn't have let him join the vanguard team at the time.

  In those days of Fang Gu, he would go out to kill bandits. Fang Xie would always find a place to hide and didn't want to engage in close combat. However, he had no qualms about shooting arrows from a distance to take down the most ferocious bandits. It's just that after fifteen years, he still felt some resistance to killing people in his heart, as he wasn't purely a person of this world.

  It's not easy for a modern person to take killing lightly.

  Two people climbed up the mountain slope, not taking the existing road. The more inaccessible and rugged the place was, the more wildlife there was. In places with many people, it's rare to even catch a glimpse of a rabbit.

  After more than half a time, they hunted down a pheasant and two wild chickens, which was enough for dinner, so the two returned. On their way back, the big dog suddenly pulled hard, sniffed and said three words in a low voice.

  "Has a murderous aura."

  ……

  ……

  Among the twenty or so people who escaped with the protection squad, Mu Xiaoyao and Da Quan were particularly special. The combat power of both was not high, but their position in the team was only slightly lower than that of Chen Jingfan. Mu Xiaoyao could sense the enemy's strength, while Da Quan could smell the killing intent.

  Twelve years ago, if it weren't for the two of them, I'm afraid the team of twenty or so people would have been killed long ago. It's already not easy to still be alive with seven people. At that time in Nan Yan Guo Da Li Cheng, when discussing whether to split up and walk separately, there was a debate over who should stay by Fang Jie's side and take responsibility for leading the pursuing troops away.

  Originally, Chen Jingfan meant for her to stay behind while the others took the stolen girl and escaped in another direction. However, Mu Xiaoyao strongly opposed this idea, with only one reason: although Chen Jingfan's combat value was high, she had already been recognized by those pursuing soldiers, so if she stayed to protect Fang Jie, they would never be able to escape.

  Chen Qingfan didn't insist because she knew that Mu Xiaoyao was right. This was also a rare occasion when the two people were on the same page.

  At that time, Chen Qingfan let Mu Xiaoyao choose a partner, and Mu Xiaoyao chose Da Quan Shang Guo Hen without hesitation. Da Quan's cultivation was the lowest among the remaining seven people, but there was no doubt that Mu Xiaoyao's choice was correct. Chen Qingfan, as the leader, didn't say another word and led the others to turn around and leave.

  That year Fang was twelve years old.

  As for the ability of the big dog's nose, Fang Jie had no doubt at all.

  So when Daquan said the three words "killing intent" in a low voice, Fang Jie immediately squatted down and hid his body with the help of the wild grass.

  The big dog pointed in one direction and said in a low voice that it was at least 200 meters away, but Mu Xiao couldn't know what kind of strength the people on the other side had. What if they were real masters? This distance of 200 meters wasn't safe at all. There are many experts in this world who can kill from a distance, and Fu Shi is one of them. It's said that the masters of the Taoist school can also fly swords to hurt people, but no one has ever seen it, so it's probably just a boastful claim made by the Taoist school.

  There is a Taoist temple on this mountain, and eight or nine out of ten people in the temple can cultivate.

  The big dog planned to go around, but Fang Jie was worried that someone had evil intentions towards Hong Zhuo's side, so he planned to sneak over and take a look. The big dog calculated that the distance from Hong Zhuo's camp wasn't far, and even if they encountered an expert they couldn't beat, they still had some confidence in escaping with Fang Jie. So the two people discussed in low voices for a few sentences, pulled out some wild grass to make hats and wear them as disguises, then quietly snuck off in that direction.

  Fortunately, the trees in the forest were dense enough and the grass was deep enough that the two of them could move forward stealthily like leopards stalking their prey. After walking for over a hundred meters, the big dog pointed to a large rock not far away, Fang Jie nodded, and the two of them quietly climbed up onto it.

  This large stone was hidden behind a big tree, and climbing up just blocked the figure by the branches. Fang Jie carefully pushed aside the leaves to look ahead, and found that 20-30 meters away stood four or five people. They were all young men dressed in brocade clothes, looking like they should be from wealthy families.

  Among them, the most eye-catching one was a young man wearing a snow-white shirt and holding a folding fan in his hand. He looked like he was in his twenties, with a face as white as jade, and indeed had a good appearance. However, no matter how you looked at him, there was an aura of yin energy emanating from his body.

  "I don't know what the Governor is thinking, but this year's recommendation for the Imperial Military Academy exam in Chang'an is actually that useless thing from the Cui family!"

  One of the short and slightly hunchbacked thin men spat and cursed: "I don't know how much money the Cui family spent, but they actually bought such a good opportunity for that waste."

  Another person said, "If I had to say, if Xiangcheng only selects one person to participate in the Imperial Martial Arts Academy's examination, it would undoubtedly be our Young Master Li. In terms of appearance and character, which young master from the various aristocratic families in Xiangcheng can compare to him? In terms of martial arts cultivation, our Young Master Li awakened at the age of twelve and is now a third-grade expert. Looking at the entire Hexi Dao, he is one of the top few. What right does that waste from the Cui family have to take this quota?"

  "You can't say it like that."

  The white-clothed man known as Li Gongzi slapped his folding fan shut: "In the previous enrollment of the Martial Arts Academy, Governor-General pushed for my family's candidate. In the one before that, he also pushed for my family's candidate. This Xiangcheng isn't just limited to my family, it should be someone else's turn now. Letting people say my Li family monopolizes the candidates sent from Xiangcheng to the Martial Arts Academy, this is not good."

  "He went and lost face for our Xiangcheng!"

  That short man said: "If we let Li Gongzi go, I'm afraid he can't even get the top spot, but third place is still no problem. That waste of space went and couldn't even pass the exam, what a waste of a quota! Just thinking about it makes me angry. The Martial Arts Academy only holds exams once every three years, and each time our Xiang City can only recommend one person. What a rare opportunity, and he's taken it!"

  "If you want him not to go, there's a way."

  Another person sneered: "The Cui family has lost a useless person, and it's estimated that not much of a stir will be made. As long as we are clean-handed, they won't be able to find anything even if they investigate."

  "Master Li, just give the order and we'll take care of that useless thing tonight!"

  "This isn't good, is it?"

  Mr. Li unfolded his fan again, looking embarrassed and said: "After all, it's still our acquaintance who has had a few drinks with him, and it's not good to take someone's life."

  The short man praised: "Li Gongzi is just benevolent and righteous, who doesn't admire him? You say, what should we do? We all listen to you. Who doesn't know that not only are you outstanding in the Li family, but also among the young talents of Xiangcheng. Compared to you, Li Xiaozong six years ago and Li Fubo three years ago were inferior."

  "Right, we all listen to you!"

  Several others chimed in.

  Li Gongzi shook his folding fan and said, "Killing people is never good. Although Lü Shang is foolish, he's still somewhat close to us... Let's just disable his Qi Hai and break his legs, how can we completely sever our emotional ties? It's not right to take things to an extreme."

  "Ah, what benevolence and righteousness!"

  Several people exclaimed in unison.

  The big dog looked at Fang Jie's face and couldn't help but lower his voice, saying: "This matter has nothing to do with us, that foolish kid deserved to have a disaster in his fate."

  "It's alright..."

  Fang Xie smiled and said, "But I have to take care of this... Let's just say it's that Cui guy's luck. The main thing is... I don't like the look of that pale-faced kid, and what's even more annoying is that he's surnamed Li! To get into the Martial Arts Academy, I couldn't do anything to Li Xiaozong, and of course, the three of us together can't beat him. But today is different, this Li guy is only a third-grade cultivator, who knows if he's Li Xiaozong's brother or nephew... Since I ran into him, let me help Cui out once, play with him once, help him once, and we'll be even!"
