Qing Mo glanced at a shadow in the courtyard and said softly, "Alright, your tricks are useless against me!"
"Beautiful Yueji, you've stabbed me so many times, is it alright if I just flick it lightly?"
After Qing Mo finished speaking, he casually waved his hand towards the shadows in front of him. Yueji, who was hiding inside, immediately felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. She quickly revealed her true form and fled from the sword energy that Qing Mo had unleashed!
Qing Mo unleashed his sword energy, leaving a clear sword mark on the dilapidated courtyard wall and the adjacent old house. Soon after, cracks of varying lengths appeared on the entire courtyard wall and the adjacent house, which then collapsed with a crash!
The ground swept by the sword energy instantly cracked open with a hundred-meter-long ravine. While the others were speechless as they watched Qing Mo casually unleash the sword energy, Minghou charged up from the side, raised his Golden Giant Blade, and slashed down at Qing Mo!
Seeing that Qing Mo was completely oblivious to the massive blade about to strike, Lei Wujie and Tang Lian immediately shouted, " Qing Mo, watch out!"
However, the scene that Minghou had imagined— Qing Mo being split in two—did not occur. Instead, Qing Mo directly used the index and middle fingers of his right hand to catch the blade of the Golden Giant Blade that was about to strike him!
Seeing this, the others were stunned again. They did not expect that such a huge knife could be easily held by Qing Mo with just two fingers. Moreover, as the user of this knife, Minghou's muscles showed that he must be very strong, otherwise he would not be able to handle such a huge knife!
Qing Mo then slowly turned to look at Minghou, and then laughed, "How about trying to take the knife from my hand?"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Minghou gritted his teeth and tried to pull the Golden Giant Blade that Qing Mo was holding between his fingers. However, even though he used both hands and the veins on his arms were bulging, he still couldn't pull the sword out of Qing Mo's two fingers!
Then Qing Mo smiled slightly, and with a gentle lift of his right arm, the entire golden Golden Giant Blade Golden Giant Blade, including the Minghou himself who was holding Qing Mo, was easily lifted into the air. When Lei Wujie saw this, his mouth gaped open, as if a whole apple could be stuffed into it!
Then, Qing Mo flicked his right hand, sending the knife and the man flying to Yueji's side. Minghou spun several times in the air, landing with his knife embedded in the ground. Both he and the knife slid several meters on the ground before the force dissipated!
Yueji quickly went over to help Minghou up. After looking at the two of them, Qing Mo put the " Lethe " back into his waistband.
He then waved his hand and said, "Considering that you, Minghou, are a pitiful person, and you are the only one left in your family, it is not easy for you to investigate the truth of Garment Watchtower back then. You have no choice but to become an assassin!"
Alright, you can leave now! Continuing to fight is pointless. You can't kill me, and I don't want to kill you either!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Yueji and Minghou stared intently at Qing Mo. Then, Minghou said, "You know quite a lot!"
Qing Mo gently raised her right hand and caught a snowflake falling from the sky. Qing Mo quietly looked at the snowflake in her palm that hadn't melted, and then said, "I only know a little bit about it. Even the truth that you've been searching for, I know a little bit about!"
Alright, that's enough chatting! We have more guests coming from behind the house!
Then Qing Mo looked at Tang Lian behind her and said, "Did you put something in the backyard? I heard light footsteps; someone probably sneaked in!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Tang Lian disregarded Yueji and Minghou in front of him and quickly jumped over the rooftop towards the backyard. He knew that even these two assassins combined were no match for Qing Mo, and since Qing Mo was helping Lei Wujie, she was probably not an enemy. He was more concerned about the goods he was transporting on this trip!
Before Minghou could even ask, Lei Wujie immediately came to Qing Mo's side, looking at him with starry eyes, as if he were looking at an idol he had admired for a long time!
Then Lei Wujie excitedly asked Qing Mo, " Qing Mo, you're amazing! Two renowned assassins from the martial arts world combined couldn't defeat you. Is this what you mean by knowing a little bit of kung fu?"
What was the name of that sword strike you just used? And what's your current cultivation level?
Lei Wujie launched into his talkative mode again, while Qing Mo simply smiled and said, "I do know a tiny bit of martial arts, but I just casually swung my sword. It doesn't have a name!"
As for my cultivation level... well, you can guess for yourself! Alright, go check on Tang Lian in the backyard; he's still injured, go help him!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Lei Wujie became as obedient as a kitten, responding to Qing Mo's words before running towards the backyard. At this moment, Xiao Se stared intently at Qing Mo with deep eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking!
At this moment, Minghou, dragging the Golden Giant Blade, arrived before Qing Mo along with Yueji. He then asked, "You say you know the truth about what happened back then. Who exactly was that person?"
Qing Mo looked at Minghou casually and asked, "The truth is far more cruel than reality. Do you really want to know?"
Minghou didn't speak, but his eyes answered Qing Mo's question. Qing Mo then slowly replied, "Your master, Heavenly Spring Elder, is the enemy who killed your entire family!"
Although the Minghou had already guessed, when he finally received the answer he most wanted to know, he couldn't help but take several steps back, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief!
Upon seeing Minghou's reaction, Yueji immediately addressed Qing Mo, "What evidence do you have to prove your words are true? Just because you say Heavenly Spring Elder is Minghou's enemy, does that mean he truly is Minghou's enemy?"
Upon hearing Yueji's question, Qing Mo simply smiled slightly. Then, Qing Mo's eyes immediately became incredibly deep, and for a moment, Minghou and Yueji were captivated by Qing Mo's gaze!
The two of them entered the memories that Minghou had not buried back then in the world of consciousness. It was this sealed memory that caused Minghou immense pain. But now that he clearly saw the truth about Garment Watchtower back then, his entire worldview almost collapsed!
Once their thoughts returned to reality, Minghou went berserk, shouting, "Ah! I never expected it, I never expected it was really my master who caused this! Ahhh!"
Minghou then dragged the Golden Giant Blade in his hand and ran wildly away, shouting as he ran. He was like a madman. Everyone else knew without a doubt what Minghou was going to do: seek revenge on Heavenly Spring Elder!
Seeing the Minghou in such a state, Yueji immediately called out as she chased after him, " Minghou, Minghou!"
However, Qing Mo spoke again at this moment, "Miss Yueji, wait a moment~!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, Yueji stopped in her tracks. When she turned around, Qing Mo tossed her a jade Jade Pendant that was both blue and white, which she immediately caught!
Yueji looked at the Jade Pendant in her hand. Apart from the character "Qing" Jade Pendant in the center, it was no different from other jade Jade Pendant. Then, Yueji looked at Qing Mo with some curiosity, waiting for Qing Mo to give her an explanation!
Qing Mo slowly said, "If you ever find yourself with nowhere to turn in the future, you can crush this Jade Pendant. There might just be a way out for you then!"
Of course, you can choose to throw the Jade Pendant away as soon as you leave, but I must remind you that once you use the Jade Pendant, you will owe me a favor, and remember, you must repay my favor!
As Qing Mo spoke, his tone turned cold, Yueji immediately felt an inexplicable pressure. She didn't know why she had put the Jade Pendant away, but she was busy chasing after Minghou and didn't take Qing Mo's words to heart at all!
However, Qing Mo was thinking to himself, "It's better to let the two who were saved by Xiao Yu end up being turned into medicine people as well."
Whether Minghou becomes a medicine person or not is irrelevant, but Yueji definitely can't be given to that bastard Xiao Yu, so I'll reluctantly take care of Yueji for him in the future!
Hehehe~!
However, when Qing Mo turned around, she met Xiao Se's deep gaze. Xiao Se then asked with some curiosity, " Qing Mo! Who exactly are you? It seems you know quite a lot!"
Qing Mo smiled at Xiao Se and said, "Me? I am who I am, I am Qing Mo!"
"Xiao Se, then who are you? How could you, a mere innkeeper in the middle of nowhere, smell the Rose dew emanating from Yueji so clearly, and even pinpoint its exact location and origin?"
After hearing Qing Mo's words, Xiao Se remained silent. He did not intend to reveal his true identity, and he also knew that Qing Mo did not intend to tell him who he was. Then, Qing Mo and Xiao Se continued to go to the backyard as if nothing had happened!
Qing Mo sat in front of the carriage, while Lei Wujie happily drove it. Xiao Se and Tang Lian sat inside, both gazing at the Golden Coffin before them.
Qing Mo, with his legs crossed, looked at Chasing Moon struggling to pull the cart, and the two fine Night Horses of Xiao Se, and sighed, "My poor Chasing Moon! I never thought that after only one day of riding her, she'd be used to pull the cart!"
Xiao Se and Tang Lian then chatted idly inside the carriage. Xiao Se was quite curious about what was inside the Golden Coffin, but Tang Lian solemnly told Xiao Se, "Whatever you do, do not open the coffin!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Se was startled, his pupils trembling. At that moment, Qing Mo noticed a reclining Buddha statue by the roadside and heard Tang Lian reveal their next destination!
Three Visits City, the Beauty Manor!
Upon hearing Tang Lian's words, Lei Wujie immediately lifted the carriage curtain, half-lying himself inside, and said to Xiao Se and Tang Lian, "I know this Three Visits City, the Beauty Manor!"
As the saying goes, " Three Visits City, laughing amidst the mortal world; in the Beauty Manor, drunk with romance!" That was a brothel that reigned supreme in the land!
Hearing Lei Wujie's words, Qing Mo, who was outside the carriage, also poked his head in. He then saw Xiao Se clasp his hands in a fist salute to Tang Lian, and the two of them said to Tang Lian in unison, "Brother Tang, what refined taste!"
Tang Lian was completely dumbfounded. He then sighed and explained that Three Visits City was the only way to Nine Dragons Temple, and that there were people there to meet them. Tang Lian also explained that Beauty Manor was the biggest den of iniquity in Three Visits City, as well as the biggest casino there!
Upon hearing the word "casino, "Xiao Se's eyes gleamed with a different light. When they arrived at the Beauty Manor, Lei Wujie was guarding the carriage, while Qing Mo, Xiao Se, and Tang Lian entered.
As Tang Lian led Qing Mo and Xiao Se along, she explained that the stakes here were too high to be calculated using the empire's currency, so the betting here used Mingzhu!
After hearing this, Xiao Se immediately said, "Since we're already here, why don't we take a gamble?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Lian immediately replied, "I don't have any money!"
Before Xiao Se could speak, Qing Mo said, "I have some! We're already here, it would be a shame not to have some fun!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qing Mo pulled a blue gem the size of a pigeon's egg from his sleeve and tossed it to Xiao Se. Then Qing Mo continued, "How about it, Xiao Se! I'll provide the money, you provide the gambling skills! After we make a profit, we'll split it 20/80, you get 20% and I get 80%!"
Xiao Se caught the blue gem Qing Mo tossed to him, then played with it in his hand and said to Qing Mo, "Two-eight split? My gambling skills aren't easily revealed...!"
Qing Mo immediately replied, "At most three-seven, if not, I'll just go play by myself!"
Xiao Se caught the blue gem he had tossed up, his eyes narrowing as he smiled, "Deal!"
Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Qing Mo immediately pulled out a handful of gold coins from his pocket, played with them in his palm, and turned to the beautiful girls from the nearby Beauty Manor, whose faces were covered by thin veils and whose figures were graceful, and laughed, "Hahaha! Girls, come and have some fun with this old man!"
"Oh my! Sir, you've finally arrived!"
"My lord, I've missed you so much!"
"Sir, I've recently learned a new massage technique that I guarantee will satisfy you!"
When the girls from the nearby Beauty Manor heard Qing Mo's voice and saw the handful of gold coins in his hand, a group of veiled beauties immediately surrounded him. Qing Mo Qing Mo, however, accepted all their advances and went upstairs with them, embracing them on both sides.
Tang Lian was completely at a loss upon seeing this. He never expected that a master like Qing Mo would actually be interested in these common women. All of them combined couldn't compare to his own celestial maiden... cough cough!
Tang Lian stood there and said, " Xiao Se, is Qing Mo that kind of person? Xiao Se! Xiao Se?"
Tang Lian didn't hear Xiao Se's reply and looked to the side. She saw that the place where Xiao Se had been standing was empty. Xiao Se had already gone to exchange for chips!
At this moment, Tang Lian's old flame, Tian Nu Tian Nü Rui, came to his side and told him that the person who was supposed to contact him had not come here, but recently many assassins from the martial arts world had flocked in, probably for the Golden Coffin!
Including Sikong Qianluo, the young lady of Snow Moon City, the White-Haired Immortal from Beyond Heaven, and people from Unparalleled City, they also came to the Three Visits to the Beauty Manor. Suddenly, many passersby in the martial arts world appeared and demanded that Tang Lian hand over the Golden Coffin and the Tian Nü Rui!
At this moment, for some unknown reason, the White-Haired Immortal started a gambling game with Xiao Se, and he even helped kill all those Jianghu passersby. After clearing the area, the White-Haired Immortal then started gambling against Xiao Se!
As expected, Xiao Se, the protagonist, won his gamble. Originally, the White-Haired Immortal planned to use his name to intimidate Xiao Se and the others, but Xiao Se revealed the White-Haired Immortal's name and that he was from the Beyond Heaven beforehand!
At this moment, the people from Unparalleled City rushed out of the room. Lu Yuzhai, who was leading the group, planned to join forces with Tang Lian and others to fight against the White-Haired White-Haired Immortal. He did not want the other party to take away the contents of the Golden Coffin!
The two groups immediately clashed, and the sounds of weapons clashing filled the air. Qing Mo, who was enjoying a massage from Western Regions woman in the room, found it a bit noisy. Moreover, even though Tang Lian and Lu Yuzhai joined forces, they couldn't do anything to the White-Haired Immortal!
Qing Mo then pushed open the window of the room and looked down at the fighting crowd. Tang Lian and Lu Yuzhai were being beaten down by White-Haired Immortal White-Haired Immortal's sword long ago!
Qing Mo then addressed the group below, saying, "It's too noisy. If you're going to fight, can't you at least keep it down? Can't I even relax a bit after paying for this?"
