In the early morning, the vast river surface was covered by a layer of mist, adding a bit of ethereal aura.

Huo Xuan got up early, walked out of the room, looked out at the beautiful scenery on the river, and breathed in fresh air. After several days of recuperation, his injuries were healed, so he didn't want to stay in the cabin compartment and often came out for some breathing.

These days, thanks to the ugly-looking but very kind-hearted brother Yan Fei and the gentle and lovely sister Xiaodie care, he felt a little warm after leaving home.

Now, after several days of getting along, Huo Xuan has become familiar with the people on the boat. He looks handsome and has a sweet mouth. No matter the guards, or the boatman and helmsman, he likes him very much.

When he reached the bow of the boat, Huo Xuan shouted at a man at the helm: "Uncle Zhang, how many days will we be able to arrive in Beicang City?"

"There will be almost the same one day!" The man laughed, "Young Master Huo, if you are in such a hurry to go to Beicang City, is it necessary to go on a blind date or visit relatives?"

"None of them!" Huo Xuan laughed and was about to return to the wing room. But at this moment, a cat moan came from behind him. He turned his head and saw a big black cat walking quietly, arching his body and stretching from time to time.

"What a big black cat!"

Huo Xuan was amazed. This black cat was as big as an ordinary dog, with black body, without a single hair, and a pair of dark blue pupils staring straight at him, as if he wanted to see through people's hearts.

"It is called Heizi, it is the treasure of my young master. It is said that it has been raised by the young master since he was a child and has been with the young master for more than 20 years!" The man surnamed Zhang, who was in charge of the helm, said with a smile.

"Have you lived for more than twenty years? Wouldn't this cat become a sperm?" Huo Xuan exclaimed. He knew that ordinary cats and dogs only had a lifespan of fifteen years at most, and this black cat lived for more than twenty years, which was simply incredible.

Curious in his heart, he was about to reach out to touch the long-lived old cat, but at this moment, Xiaodie's crisp and nice voice came.

"Heizi, Heizi..."

The black cat seemed to know that it was calling him. He turned his head and looked at the cabin passage, then turned his face, squinted his eyes and opened his mouth and yawned, and lay down lazily.

At this time, Xiaodie walked over pretty, first smiled at Huo Xuanying, then turned her eyes to the black cat lying on the deck, and said angrily: "You guy, you slipped out without saying a word, making me think you fell into the river!" She walked forward and hugged the black cat in her arms.

It can be seen that this black cat is quite valuable. Although Xiaodie has practiced martial arts, it seems that she has used a lot of effort to pick up this guy.

"Heizi felt bored and came out to breathe!"

A gentle man's voice sounded very pleasant, but it seemed to be lacking in energy, giving people a feeling of weakness.

Ling Feng's eyes looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a young man in brocade clothes walking towards the cabin passage. He looked in his twenties, with a sallow complexion, as if he was suffering from chronic diseases, his cheekbones were tall, and his facial features were clearly contoured. If it weren't for being too thin, he would be a handsome young man. Even so, as he walked, he was proud, obviously from a wealthy and noble family, with an extraordinary temperament.

"Young Master Lin!"

Huo Xuan had already guessed the identity of the person. After his injury healed, he wanted to visit the master of the group, "Mr. Lin", but he was rejected by Yan Fei and Xiaodie. From them, he learned that this Mr. Lin was seriously ill and had been staying in the wing room to recuperate and was not easy to see guests.

"Young Master, why are you coming out? The wind outside is too strong, which will aggravate your condition. You might as well go back to your room!" Xiaodie hurriedly greeted her. Her expression was three points of panic, but seven points of concern.

"Heizi can't stand being stuck in the house for so many days. He wants to come out and get some breath, let alone me, a living person!" Mr. Lin smiled. He reached out to touch the black cat curled up in Xiaodie's arms. The latter squinted his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself.

"But..." Xiaodie was still trying to persuade her, but saw Mr. Lin turning his eyes to Huo Xuan and laughing: "This little brother must be Huo Xuan, who Yan Fei rescued from the river a few days ago, Brother Huo!"

Huo Xuan hurried forward and bowed deeply to the other party, "Huo Xuan thanked Mr. Lin for saving you!"

"The person who saved you is Yan Fei, not me!" Mr. Lin smiled loudly and reached out to help him up. "It is fate to meet you. I wanted to talk to Brother Huo a few days ago, but Xiaodie, the housekeeper, didn't let me come out and see others. There is no way. If there is something rude, please don't be surprised by Brother Huo!"

"I dare not!" Huo Xuan responded with a smile. From the corner of his eyes, Xiaodieyu blushed with a shy expression when the young master Lin said the word "housekeeper". Her big watery eyes fell on Mr. Lin, full of indescribable affection.

It can be seen that the relationship between Xiaodie and Mr. Lin is far from being a master-servant relationship! Huo Xuan laughed in his heart, turned his head unconsciously, and squeezed at Xiaodie. Seeing this, the latter's face turned even more red.

"Xiaodie, I'll ask someone to prepare some refreshments. I want to enjoy the scenery on the river with Brother Huo while having breakfast!"

Hearing Mr. Lin's order, Xiaodie lowered her head and responded, then held the big black cat named "Heizi". After a while, several men dressed as servants came and set up tables and chairs at the bow of the boat. Xiaodie brought a few maids and served seven or eight kinds of refreshments.

"Brother Huo, please!"

Mr. Lin greeted Huo Xuan very enthusiastically. Huo Xuan was not a polite person. After thanking him, he sat down happily. With a look, the seven or eight kinds of tea and refreshments placed on the table were very delicate and fragrant. What made him pay special attention to was that the utensils that were used to hold tea and refreshments were all made of the extremely rare Lantian jade. This Lantian jade is produced in the north and is extremely rare, and is worth more than ten times more than purple gold. The utensils on the table alone are probably worth thousands of taels of purple gold. Even the Huo family in Lijiang did not have such financial resources and used utensils made of Lantian jade for meals.

It can be seen from this that Mr. Lin is definitely a child from a large family from the county town. That day, when Huo Xuan saw Yan Fei, he had already guessed it.

After setting up tables and chairs and serving refreshments, the servants and maids retreated. Except for the man named Zhang who was in charge of the helm, only Xiaodie was serving him.

"This Lotus Heart Eight Treasure Soup is Xiaodie's best skill. Brother Huo, come and taste it!" Mr. Lin asked Xiaodie to serve a bowl of porridge and give it to Huo Xuan. Huo Xuan took a sip. It tasted great, and his teeth and cheeks were full of fragrance, and he praised it at the moment.

After using the refreshment, the maid took away the dishes and utensils on the table, Mr. Lin looked at Huo Xuan and smiled and said, "Brother Huo, you are young, but you are introverted. You obviously have a good martial arts cultivation. If I guess it is good, Brother Huo, you may be half a step away from breaking through the innate world!"

After hearing this, Huo Xuan was shocked and thought to himself, Mr. Lin is so powerful that he can see through my martial arts cultivation at a glance!

Without thinking too much, he said bluntly: "Warriors who have not broken through the innate world are not considered real warriors. My tiny tale makes Young Master Lin laugh!"

"Brother Huo doesn't have to be modest." Mr. Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "When I was at your age, I did not have the current cultivation level. It can be seen that Brother Huo is not only extremely talented, but also from the Lijiang family. Without one of these two, it will not be able to create your current cultivation level."

Huo Xuan smiled and refused to comment. He knew that although the Huo family in Lijiang was a hero, it was far from the family of Mr. Lin in front of him!

"Brother Huo!" Mr. Lin took a sip of tea and asked again: "I heard from Yan Fei that you plan to go to Cangmang Mountain, which is a place where bad mountains and rivers are poor, ferocious birds and beasts live. It is said that there are evil spirits. Although you have good martial arts skills, you still don't think it's enough. If you go alone, it will be very dangerous. I'll ask if you ask too much, why don't your elders send someone to escort you to Cangmang Mountain?"

It can be seen that he had good intentions. Huo Xuan didn't think much, smiled bitterly, and told him frankly: "It's true that I caused a disaster in Lijiang City and was driven out by the elders of my family. Now I am heading to Cangmang Mountain, I am planning to find an elder and beg him to take him in!"

"So that's it!" Mr. Lin suddenly felt.

"Cangmang Mountain is rarely visited. Do you have any elders to settle there?" Xiaodie, who was standing aside, asked curiously at this moment.

"Brother Huo's elders must be a martial arts master. It's normal to settle in the deep mountains and lakes!" Mr. Lin laughed, reached out and patted Huo Xuan on the shoulder, and said loudly: "My Lin family's ancestral home is in Heishui Town outside Beicang City, which is less than a hundred miles away from Cangmang Mountain. Brother Huo can just walk with us, go to Heishui Town first, and play in our mansion for a while, and then go to Cangmang Mountain!"

"Thank you, young master!" Huo Xuan nodded and thanked him with sincerity and enthusiasm.

"I call you Brother Huo, don't call me young master, that's it. If you don't dislike me, just call me third brother or third brother Lin!"

"Then... I'm better to obey my orders than to be respectful, third brother!"

Huo Xuan is also a person with a free and easy personality. Since the other party said that, he didn't think much about it and called Mr. Lin the third brother.

After hearing this, Mr. Lin was very happy, with a smile on his face, and started talking to Huo Xuan. He was about ten years older than Huo Xuan, with extensive knowledge and good conversation. He talked about strange people and strange things, which made Huo Xuan very fascinated.
