Chapter 630 Li Qingluo
If we were to ask who is the most amazing person in the room at this moment, it would definitely be Duan Yu.
As soon as he saw the graceful woman walking towards him, he could not help but scream out in surprise, his eyes wide open, as if he were in a dream.
Who is this coming?
Naturally, she is the hostess of Mantuo Villa, the daughter of Wuyazi and Li Qiushui, Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo was wearing a goose yellow silk shirt, and her appearance and demeanor were very similar to the jade statue in the cave of Wuliang Mountain in Dali.
However, Li Qingluo was nearly forty years old, but the jade statue in the cave was that of a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.
Duan Yu was shocked, and when he looked at the beautiful woman's appearance again, he found that although her appearance was slightly inferior to the jade statue in the cave, and her face also showed traces of time, but she was still about 50% similar, and could be called a great beauty.
Seeing him staring at Mrs. Wang so rudely, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi at the side immediately felt miserable and gestured for him to stop looking. However, Duan Yu didn't care at all and his whole attention was on Mrs. Wang.
"Uncle Duan..."
Yang Guo couldn't bear it any longer, so he gently pulled Duan Yu's sleeve and reminded him quietly.
Li Qingluo naturally noticed Duan Yu's gaze, and could not help but glance at him sideways, saying coldly: "What an impolite fellow! Cut off his feet, dig out his eyes, and cut off his tongue!"
A maid immediately bowed and replied, "Yes!"
Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword and slashed down mercilessly, aiming directly at Duan Yu's right arm.
"What a cruel woman!"
It was not until the sword reached in front of him that Duan Yu was startled and quickly used the Lingbo Weibu to narrowly avoid it.
He has experienced a lot during this period of time and absorbed the inner strength of many masters. Although his martial arts skills are not among the best in the world, he is not far away.
Although he had very little practical experience, he was still able to handle the little maid from Mantuo Villa with ease.
"Huh? You actually know the unique skill of Xiaoyao Sect, Lingbo Weibu? Where did you learn it from? Damn it!"
When Mrs. Wang saw Duan Yu's skills, a look of shock flashed across her beautiful face, but it was soon replaced by an even stronger indifference.
"Let's go together and take down this ignorant lunatic! He actually dared to steal the martial arts of my Xiaoyao Sect. We must not let him die easily. We must capture him alive and turn him into human pigs, then slowly chop him into pieces!"
"Yes!"
The eighteen maids immediately bowed their heads and obeyed the order. They drew their swords without hesitation and surrounded Duan Yu from all sides. It was obvious that they were well-trained.
Logically speaking, with Duan Yu's current skills, he could easily deal with these eighteen maids even though they outnumbered him.
But after all, he had too little experience in fighting the enemy, his skills were not acquired through hard work, and he himself was not a brave and aggressive person. At best, he could only display 30% to 40% of his skills.
Seeing more than a dozen swords coming at him like raindrops from the front, back, left and right, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked for a moment, and in a hurry he didn't know how to defend himself.
"do not want!"
"Aunt, please show mercy!"
Ah Zhu and Ah Bi couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned their heads to scream.
Yang Guo was also extremely anxious, but he had only been practicing martial arts seriously for a few days, and faced with the current situation, he was completely helpless.
Just when the scene was extremely thrilling, a green shadow appeared in the distance and shot towards them like a sharp arrow.
"Ping ping pong pong..."
Before anyone could see clearly what the object was, they heard a sound of metallic clashing.
Looking closely, he saw that the long swords held by the eighteen maids were all caught up by something in an instant and knocked to the ground.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the green shadow was actually a broad and thick lotus leaf!
The lotus leaf should have been able to break with a snap of a finger, and shouldn't have been able to move at such a speed, but it managed to knock down eighteen long swords in an instant, while remaining intact. It was truly incredible.
Although Mrs. Wang's martial arts skills cannot be considered top-notch, as the daughter of Wuyazi and Li Qiushui, she still has good eyesight.
She could tell at once that an expert had plucked the flying lotus leaves and used his inner strength to wrap the fragile lotus leaves, making them as tough as steel wire and as fast as lightning, taking away the weapons of her eighteen maids.
For a moment, her whole body tensed up and she looked in the direction where the lotus leaf came from.
Everyone came to their senses and looked in the direction she was looking.
I saw a handsome man in a black brocade robe standing on a small boat in the distance. Who else could it be but Chai Xin?
When they saw Chai Xin's figure, both Duan Yu and the two girls Azhu and Abi showed surprise on their faces.
Yang Guo shouted even more excitedly: "Uncle, you are here!"
"My brother was indeed a bit rude and impertinent. Chai Xin is willing to apologize on his behalf. However, his crime is not serious enough. Madam, please show some mercy."
Before Chai Xin spoke, he was still standing on the boat, and as he opened his mouth, his toes lightly tapped the bow.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew across the air for more than twenty feet like a banished immortal, and landed in front of Li Qingluo with his sleeves fluttering.
Such a transcendent posture, coupled with his majestic appearance, was enough to make even a woman with extraordinary experience like Mrs. Wang slightly dazed.
As for young girls like Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, they were completely stunned.
Yang Guo looked at his uncle's demeanor, his admiration and envy reaching their peak, his eyes sparkling.
Duan Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother, I can hardly remember how many times you have come to my rescue!"
"We are brothers, why bother talking about this?"
Chai Xin shook his head and replied to him, then turned his gaze to Li Qingluo and her maids, and bowed earnestly with his fists clasped.
"It's an emergency. I'm sorry."
"You are so young, yet you have such martial arts skills. I'm afraid it's rare in the world. Even if the famous 'Southern Murong and Northern Qiao Feng' were added together, I'm afraid they might not be your opponent."
Li Qingluo's expression was cold, but her words were more polite than when she spoke to Duan Yu.
As a strong person, it is natural that you will be treated preferentially wherever you go.
What's more, Chai Xin is not only a martial arts expert and has a good appearance, but also has good manners, so it is natural that he cannot be underestimated.
"Madam, you are too kind. 'Murong in the South, Qiao Feng in the North', they are both outstanding people of the time. I, Chai, admire them very much."
Chai Xin first said a few humble words, then clasped his fists and bowed again.
"My brother was rude just now. As the eldest brother, I apologize to the lady on his behalf. Please forgive me."
"Brother, why do you have to do this? Everyone has their own responsibility. I, Duan Yu, have been disrespectful, so I should bear the blame. How can I let you suffer for me?"
Duan Yu exerted his inner strength, forcing back several maids who were approaching him, then he walked over quickly and grabbed Chai Xin's arm as he was about to salute.
Then, he clasped his fists and bowed to apologize to Li Qingluo.
"Madam, Duan Yu did not learn the Lingbo Weibu by stealing. Instead, he went to a place called 'Langhuan Jade Cave' in Wuliang Mountain and paid homage to a jade statue..." Then, Duan Yu told her the truth about his covetousness in Wuliang Mountain in brief words.
"I just saw your face, which is very similar to the jade statue of the fairy in the cave. I was shocked and lost my composure. I didn't mean to be rude. Please forgive me."
Now it was Li Qingluo's turn to be surprised. She looked at Duan Yu carefully and said, "How could you have such an opportunity to find my parents' former residence?"
In fact, she didn't know that under the jade statue's cushion there were "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu".
However, Duan Yu could describe the layout of the Langhuan Jade Cave so clearly that it was enough to make her believe that it was not a fabrication.
"I am so lucky to have kowtowed a thousand times before the statue of the Fairy Sister, and only then did I receive the secret manuals of the Northern Divine Art and the Light Footsteps."
Duan Yu said seriously.
Looking at the whole book "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the biggest characteristic of this kid can be summed up in one word - stupid.
What made him feel so lucky was not, of course, that he had obtained the secret manual of martial arts that ordinary martial artists dreamed of, but that he could witness the splendor of the jade statue.
"Well, since you have followed my mother's wishes, you can be considered a disciple of my Xiaoyao Sect, so it doesn't count as stealing your knowledge. But... is your last name Duan?"
Only at this moment did she seem to suddenly grasp the key point.
"Since you have been to Wuliang Mountain, you must be from Dali. Who is your father?"
Duan Yu was startled when he heard this, and he actually felt that this scene was somewhat familiar - especially the expression on Mrs. Wang's face at this moment, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
But he didn't remember it for a moment, so he answered honestly: "Since I have entered the Xiaoyao Sect, I naturally dare not deceive the elders. My surname is Duan Yu, and I am the son of the King of Zhennan in Dali."
"You...your father is...Duan Zhengchun?"
Li Qingluo felt as if struck by lightning. Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and her originally dignified face suddenly flushed.
When the maids saw this, they picked up their weapons from the ground and gathered around, with worried looks on their faces.
"Madam actually knows my father? This is a miracle!"
When Duan Yu heard what Li Qingluo said, he was surprised, but also happy at the same time - it turned out that his fate with the fairy sister started from their father's generation.
Chai Xin couldn't help laughing while watching from the side: She and your father are more than acquainted, they know each other too well! Brother, you will know how powerful your father is in the future!
Later generations respectfully called it the humanoid self-propelled artillery!
As a result, Duan Yu's behavior of flirting with girls throughout the entire "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" really meant what it said - he flirted with all his sisters!
Although it was finally proved that they were not biological sisters, they were cousins and sisters after all.
"When I was young... I met him a few times. At that time, I was still living in Wuliang Mountain..."
Li Qingluo only felt her heart was beating fast and her stomach was filled with mixed feelings.
The young man in front of her turned out to be the son of the man she had been thinking about day and night - and also the son of her most hated rival in love!
The most important thing is that this kid actually inherited the Xiaoyao Sect by chance.
"Could it be true as this man said, that the Duan family and I have a predestined relationship in this life? Alas!"
Li Qingluo sighed inwardly, but ultimately she couldn't bear to harm the son of her beloved lover.
"Since you are the son of an old friend, please come to the manor and have a chat."
"Madam, I am honored to have invited you." Duan Yu had a natural affinity for the descendants of the fairy sisters, so there was no reason for him to refuse.
Chai Xin was also thinking of taking a look at the books in Langhuan Blessed Land, so he immediately agreed: "In that case, I'm sorry to bother you."
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you go back and prepare the banquet to entertain the distinguished guests?"
Li Qingluo looked at the confused maids around her and scolded them sternly.
"Yes!"
The maids were awakened at this, and half of them went to the farm to tell the servants to get ready.
It’s not their fault that they were confused, but my wife’s behavior today was too strange.
In the past, if a man came to the island, Li Qingluo would chop off his hands and feet at best, or bury him alive and use him as fertilizer for flowers at worst.
Especially those from Dali, both men and women must be buried alive... As for those with the surname Duan, Li Qingluo kept saying that all people with the surname Duan in the world should be cut into pieces!
The result today was strange.
A young man named Duan from Dali Kingdom came...but Li Qingluo treated him as a guest of honor and didn't show any intention of making things difficult for him!
How could the maids who knew her very well not be shocked?
Soon, under the personal guidance of Li Qingluo, everyone arrived at the hall of the manor.
We first had tea and chatted for a while, and then the banquet started when the kitchen was ready.
The only people who actually sat at the table were Chai Xin, Duan Yu, Yang Guo, and Li Qingluo. After all, the two girls, A-Bi and A-Zhu, were only maids here and could not be guests of honor.
Even if Li Qingluo wanted to invite them to accompany her, they definitely didn't have the courage to do so.
They knew Mrs. Wang's personality very well. Even though she seemed to be in a good mood today, if she turned hostile one day and came to settle the score with her later, wouldn't they be in trouble?
At the beginning, Li Qingluo was relatively restrained and took good care of the three of them.
As she got drunk, her face became more and more flushed, and she slowly lost her scruples, and she caught Duan Yu and started "interrogating" him.
The content of the interrogation naturally cannot be separated from the three words "Duan Zhengchun".
At first, he knew how to restrain himself and only hinted at it, but later on, his true feelings began to show.
Fortunately, there was no one else present, and even Yang Guo had been taken away by Azhu and Abi to rest.
Duan Yu was already drunk and had no idea what he was saying, let alone what Li Qingluo was saying.
"Madam Wang, I am not very good at drinking, so I will not accompany you any longer."
Seeing that it was almost time, Chai Xin stood up and left.
Li Qingluo was eager for him to leave so that she could talk to Duan Yu more unscrupulously about Duan Zhengchun's affairs, so she naturally would not stop him.
With Chai Xin's skills, plus his physique that is immune to all poisons, there is no alcohol in the world of heroes that can make him drunk.
He pretended to stagger and was helped to the guest room by two maids, where he fell directly onto the bed.
He didn't open his eyes again until the two maids covered him with the quilt, left the room and closed the door.
Feeling the footsteps outside getting farther away, Chai Xin pushed open the door and flipped over and went straight to the roof.
"Langhuan Blessed Land, I think it should be a place with strict security, let's take a look around first."
Chai Xin looked around on the roof, then chose a direction and jumped away.
Although it was a bit unkind to peek into someone else's scripture library, the way the Xiaoyao Sect obtained other people's martial arts was not glorious in the first place.
Besides, Chai Xin has made up his mind to change Li Qingluo's original fate - at least, he will not let her die at Murong Fu's hands.
