Chapter 68: This guest is not a guest

When the remaining clouds are harvesting, watch the autumn mist at the new night.

The water in the misty stream is gurgling and the fog is filled with shade.

A few lights were on in the courtyard. The maid picked up a pot of lit mugwort and walked into the pavilion, slowly divided it into four parts, placed it in four corners to disperse mosquitoes.

Shi Yi walked behind Jiang Mu and gently pinched Jiang Mu's shoulders.

Seeing that Jiang Mu had already written a pile of papers, his fingers were already a little numb, and he said with a distressed feeling: "Young master, it's late at night, and there are many mosquitoes. Let's practice calligraphy tomorrow!"

Jiang Mu gently patted Shi Yi's little hand and said, "You go down and rest first, I have to wait for the guests."

Shi Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Young Master, do you still have customers? I'll go to the kitchen to prepare."

"No," Jiang Mu said: "This guest is not a guest."

Shi Yi was a little confused, gently lifted the hair on his forehead and said, "Young Master's words are too profound and I can't understand."

Jiang Mu smiled slightly, gently pulled Shi Yi and sat next to him, and said, "Starting tomorrow, you won't have to practice swords."

"Ah?" Shi Yi stood up quickly and said in a panic: "Is it because I can't practice hard to disappoint my young master? Young Master, if you give me some more time, I will definitely work hard."

"What are you anxious about?" Jiang Mu pulled Shi Yi helplessly and sat down, saying, "You girl, you have a lot of thoughts, not as carefree as Jiuer."

Shi Yi lowered his head and said, "Young Master, I know that I have made a mistake, so I will definitely change it in the future."

"There are no so many mistakes," Jiang Mu chuckled, "Everyone's personality is born different. Jiuer is careless and that's her nature. You have a quiet personality. During this period, I have also paid attention to you and Jiuer. Your personality is not suitable for practicing swordsmanship. You don't have that talent. Start learning literature from tomorrow, and I will teach you!"

"Jiuer is simple in nature and always cares about the past and the future when doing things. However, because of her personality, she is suitable for practicing swordsmanship. Her talent is much stronger than you in this area. No matter how hard you work, you can't catch up with her. However, you also have your own strengths. You are meticulous and considerate in doing things, so you are suitable for studying."

"Simply put, Jiuer may be successful in martial arts in the future and is suitable for following me to protect my safety. If you study calmly, you can master strong talents, handle many things for me, and share my worries, do you understand?"

Shi Yi raised his head and said in surprise: "Young Master means that as long as Shi Yi works hard, can you always be with the young master in the future? Can you do a lot of things for the young master?"

Jiang Mu nodded and said, "It should be possible. You are with me and you are much better at learning resources and opportunities than me before. Even if you have a little less talent, the chances of success in your studies are still very high."

Shi Yi's tears that were about to shed finally took back, stood up excitedly, and said, "Shi Yi will definitely work hard and live up to the young master's expectations."

Jiang Mu smiled slightly, suddenly turned his head and looked at the quiet night.

It was a corner of the courtyard.

Very quiet and dark,

Jiang Mu looked at the darkness and whispered: "Since you are here, don't hide."

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes slowly walked out of the darkness, walked outside the pavilion, bowed and held a tribute and said, "Yan Luo, the elder of the Xiaozhu Peak Merit Hall, has seen the peak master."

Jiang Mu looked at the man and found that he was an elder who had met at Xiaozhu Peak today.

Jiang Mu gently patted Shi Yi's little hand, comforted Shi Yi in panic for a moment, turned around and said, "I don't know what the so-called Elder Yan's visit this late night?"

Yan Luo hurriedly said, "I am here to apologize to the Peak Lord. I have offended many people on the mountain today. Please forgive me for a large number of people."

Jiang Mu waved his hand and said, "Elder Yan is serious. You and I belong to the same family. I don't care so much, and I'm not that stingy. If there is nothing else, you can go back!"

"No," Yan Luo said hurriedly: "I have something to report to you."

"But it's okay." Jiang Mu said.

Yan Luo took two steps forward and whispered: "Elder Chen and Elder Yu of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Precepts Hall have been sorely injured by the Peak Lord today. If you want to do something wrong to the Peak Lord, please be careful."

"Oh, that's it, okay, I understand."

…………

At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, there is a hidden forest.

Elder Chen from Xiaozhu Peak was sitting on a stone waiting in a night-long suit.

After a while, a young man in black came over quietly and said, "Master, Elder Yu is here."

Elder Chen looked over and saw Elder Yu who had broken his arm. However, at this time, Elder Yu no longer had the energy he used to be, his face was pale, and the bandaged arm was still leaching blood.

"Junior Brother Yu, why are you here in person?" Elder Chen walked over to support Elder Yu.

Elder Yu was a little uncomfortable when walking. He sat next to Elder Chen and said, "Senior Brother Chen, look at me now as a useless person. What other choice can I have? Instead of being a useless person for the rest of my life, it is better to fight and kill Jiang Mu and extricate his anger."

Elder Chen nodded, raised the palm of his hand with two fingers left, and said, "This Jiang Mu bullies people too much and will not leave us a way out. Since that's the case, don't blame us for being cruel!"

Elder Yu smiled dismally and asked, "Is there anyone else?"

Elder Chen shook his head and said, "Hmph, they were scared by Jiang Mu's killing of the chicken and warn the monkey. Even Senior Brother Lei has given up on you and me now. How dare I let them know our plan?"

Elder Yu's face showed a hint of despair and said, "As the saying goes, tea is cold when people leave, but we are just being ruined before we leave. The same is true!"

Elder Chen gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how many, we will kill Jiang Zibai now!"

Elder Chen and the other two stood up, followed by dozens of men in black and quietly walked towards Daxian Village in the darkness.

…………

Xiaozhu Peak.

Elder Jin, the elder of the Sutra Hall, hurried to Lei Ruotang's yard. After seeing Lei Ruotang, he said urgently: "Senior Brother Lei, something big happened. I just saw Junior Brother Yu secretly took people down the mountain, and then went to see that Elder Chen and Elder Yan were gone. They... They were probably going down the mountain to assassinate Jiang Mu. Let's go down the mountain to stop them!"

However, what surprised Elder Jin was that

Lei Ruotang actually waved his hand and said, "I already know it. It's too late to stop it now. Let them go!"

Elder Jin said in surprise: "Senior Brother Lei, what did you say? You have known for a long time. Then you still let them go. This is a big taboo. If the sect leader knows, the junior brothers will be dealt with by the sect rules!"

Lei Ruotang frowned and said, "Junior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Yu have been deposed by Jiang Mu. Letting them have a chance to have a chance, isn't it more meaningful to you and me? If they succeed, you and I will have the final say in the future. If they fail, it has nothing to do with us. We can also get a lot of benefits from the three palaces that have been vacant!"

Elder Jin looked at Lei Ruotang in shock.
