Chapter Six: Tian Xiu

  "Hmm, rich and full-bodied, with a fragrant flavor, worthy of being offered to the clan leader."

  As the sunlight poured in, people's eyesight recovered, and they saw the true appearance of the black shadow. It was a middle-aged man with a pointed head, narrow eyes, and a gaunt face, looking like a thin gray mouse. He didn't even glance at Yang Yunqiu, clearly not taking him seriously, but instead smiled slyly at Yang Yan, his throat making a faint humming noise.

  The little girl was obviously afraid, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her clothes, her big eyes wide with fear: "What are you going to do!"

  Her voice was sweet and beautiful, calling that hemp rod man's bones all softened into a ball, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch that delicate little face, smiling: "What are you afraid of? This small town on the edge of the city can't afford to raise someone with such abundant energy like you. Look at how thin you've become, I'm heartbroken just looking at you. After I kill your brother, why don't you come with me and join my sect? My sect leader will definitely dote on you."

  Yang Yunqiu raised an eyebrow, sighed inwardly, feeling that this matter was unlikely to end well. In terms of cultivation, the person in front of him was only slightly stronger, and he feared a fierce battle. He pinched his fingers into a protective gesture, and a blue light flickered, but before he could make a move, someone let out a cold laugh. The voice was clear and crisp, like the sound of ice striking jade, extremely brief. Before the sound had even faded, a figure flashed in through the window.

  That figure moved extremely fast, even Yang Yunqiu's exceptional eyesight couldn't make out the person's height, weight, or attire.

  "It's a disciple from Tianxiu Valley, one who only appears once every hundred years!"

  Yang Yunqiu's eyes suddenly blurred, and she saw the doll turn into a round head, a round body, wearing a red bellyband, a big-headed doll, rolling around in front of her, with small stars filling her eyes.

  He stretched out his hand, pushed the doll's body to one side, and with a concentrated gaze, he saw a pale shadow for an instant. The middle-aged man who had just frightened everyone in the room into silence, including himself, took two steps back and sat down on the ground. His brow turned green, his pupils contracted, and he stared at the sword tip on his forehead with wide eyes and a tongue-tied expression.

  Even in a TV show with great special effects, Yang Yunqiu had never seen such a fast sword, such a beautiful sword tip, nor had he felt such a strong aura.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled and connected with the doll: "In terms of Taoist skills, it may be slightly inferior to Fangzhou, but in terms of demeanor, it can surpass Fangzhou by eighteen streets... I can finally feel at ease."

  The doll muttered: "I've told you long ago, it's impossible for all the cultivators of this era to be idiots."

  To be honest, Yang Yunqiu was a bit worried before, after all, when he came to this world, the first powerful cultivator he met was Fangzhou that pervert.

  Arriving at Changsu Town, although he had seen many cultivators before, most of them were of lowly cultivation and didn't differ much from the lowest rungs of modern society. They couldn't be considered true cultivators. A few exceptions like the young master in front of him did have some cultivation, but they were all shrouded in sin. He couldn't help but feel apprehensive about the cultivators of this era.

  But now——

  A youth in a plain white robe slowly sheathed his sword and walked up to Yang Yan, handing her a white handkerchief. He then turned to the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground, completely unable to move, and said: "Sir, I quite like the simple and honest customs of Changshu Town, and I plan to stay here for a while longer. I hope you will also keep an appreciative heart and not arbitrarily destroy things."

  Yang Yunqiu couldn't help but smile as she saw her younger sister's eyes shining brightly, but at the same time, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet his movements and swordsmanship were almost perfect. The plain white clothes he wore weren't something that just anyone could wear with style, but on him, they seemed to have a nobility that even the most luxurious brocades couldn't match.

  His expression was slightly cold, but the coldness was justified. His tone was somewhat arrogant, yet Yang Yunqiu felt that if someone like him wasn't a bit arrogant, it would make people feel uneasy all over.

  Dolls always say that if one doesn't cultivate their heart, they will eventually fall into the devil's path and have no hope of longevity. Since there are masters of longevity, then surely there must be true cultivators in this world.

  "Could it be that Gongzi Nan is actually a senior disciple of Tianxiu Valley?"

  He was a young master who had always been arrogant and overbearing, but at this moment, his cheeks were rosy, his eyebrows and eyes were soft, and the gaze he directed at the white-clothed youth was also gentle as water.

  She wasn't a native of Longsu Town, and her family background was quite impressive. She had met many elegant young masters, but someone with the demeanor and charm like this person in front of her was rarely seen in her life.

  "In Xiaofu Ning, he is indeed a person from Tianxiu Valley."

  His voice was still cold, but it made people feel that being able to sense his coldness was also one of life's great pleasures. "I wonder what this young master and the two ladies did to offend the shopkeeper, for the shopkeeper to want to detain them by force?"

  When others interfere with trivial matters, they often make people dislike them, but when he interferes with trivial matters, it only makes people think it's a matter of course.

  The young master's voice was even softer, and he said in a low voice: "Fu Gongzi Rongbi, it's not that the young woman is being unruly, but this person and the one who robbed my high carriage team the other day are accomplices. On that day, thirteen of our family's guardians were killed or injured, and our family's most precious treasure was also lost."

  As she spoke, she pointed to the armor components on the ground and stared straight at Yang Yunqiu: "This armor was worn by the attacker. This kind of equipment without obvious markings is obviously not for sale, but was made by a specialized person. Apart from the person who made the armor, who could disassemble it instantly?"

  She said that, and even Yang Yan looked at her own brother in surprise, almost believing that the armor was indeed made by Yang Yunqiu.

  The young master's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity as he looked up at Yang Yunqiu, who remained expressionless: "What else do you have to say?"

  Yang Yunqiu sighed and casually swept her gaze over the entire store, smiling: "Don't you think that only the person who built it can easily take it apart?"

  "Of course." The young master narrowed his eyes.

  Dismantling the armor is of course easier than building it, but without tools, finding the core spell array in an instant, avoiding all protective spell arrays, and disassembling the armor with ease, is almost impossible. No one has such incredible computational power, not even the person who built the armor, let alone someone else.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled: "Then I really don't have anything good to say."

  That young master heard this, his eyebrows stood up straight, and he said sternly: "Indeed it has something to do with you. Tell me, who are you? Why must you make things difficult for the Gao family? Where exactly is my family's stuff?"

  The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense, with the middle-aged man who looked like a hemp pole and the round and chubby young man subtly blocking the doors and windows, as if they would fight at any moment.

  Even Fu Ning couldn't help but glance at Yang Yunqiu, and in his heart he couldn't help but sigh - this young man was so talented and gifted, yet today he would probably fall here, which was truly a pity.

  He is a member of Tiān Xiù Gǔ, so others naturally have a few more points of respect for him, but he can't really intervene in the grudges between others.

  Yang Yan and Duo Duo were so scared that they trembled all over, especially Yang Yan, who muttered to herself, "If big brother dies here this time, Mother will be heartbroken when she finds out!"
