C7 Hero Save Beauty
"Woo woo, ice cube, good f * cking slippery." Guan Shanyue let out a weird cry, his mouth spitting out some twisted words, making people want to spit them out.
"Aww, running water, what a woman." Hou Zhongyue was unexpectedly pacified. Green light shone in his eyes, and the group of thugs cried out in grief. It was truly an unsightly scene to behold.
The Sorcerer chuckled. These two really were one. They couldn't bear to be lonely.
However, the mountain breeze was blowing, and he was standing on the crushed ice and flowing water, looking at the green sprouts dotted around. It was truly a different kind of feeling from before.
As he turned the corner of the mountain, the eyes of the Sorcerer lit up. After entering the Nine Yin Mountain, he could feel a lot of Yin Qi. Although it couldn't compare to the Reincarnation Space, it was still pretty good.
In addition, the old bushes were surrounded by Miasma, which followed the roots of the trees, causing the trees here to show signs of evolving into monsters.
"It really is the Yin Field. I just don't know if there are Ghost King or Ghost Soldiers in this deep mountain." The Sorcerer was secretly pleasantly surprised. This place was a paradise for him if he used it well.
Of course, for the time being, he would not provoke any ghosts or ghosts that might exist, but he would remember them.
After a few more miles, the scenery along the way did not stop. It was pleasing to the eye, and even though the sun had risen high in the sky, it did not feel hot at all. Instead, it gave off a chilly feeling.
"Huh?"
Marquis Zhongyue, who was playing, suddenly made a sound of surprise. He pressed his hand down and made a gesture of silence. The thugs who were playing around immediately quieted down.
"Commander Hou, what's wrong?" Uncle Dong's expression did not change as he pretended to be concerned and asked.
Hou Zhongyue glared at him, "straight mother thief, I told you not to make any noise. Why don't you make a bird cry?" As he spoke, he pretended to be listening attentively, causing that Uncle Dong to almost be unable to restrain himself from teaching him a lesson.
He finally understood. Other than being respectful to the Sorcerer, this group of thugs simply didn't like the others at all.
The Sorcerer snickered in his heart and asked sternly, "Commander Hou, what's wrong?"
There was impatience on Hou Zhongyue's face, but he did not dare to shout at his Uncle Dong, "Two hills ahead, there are people fighting. It seems there are quite a few people. Sir, do you want to go take a look?"
This Hou Zhongyue was indeed worthy of being known as the King of the Mountains. His ability was outstanding and could be heard even from two of the peaks of the mountains.
"Oh?" The Sorcerer's expression changed as he glanced at Uncle Dong. Uncle Dong nodded slightly, as if he understood.
"There's actually someone committing murder in this boundless universe. Commander Hou, Commander Guan, let's go meet these people." The Sorcerer's face was filled with righteousness, as if he were a father and mother. Seeing this, Uncle Dong nodded to himself. This Thirteenth Young Master was improving.
Hou Zhongyue and Guan Yue Shan were both people who liked to fight, so they had this intention long ago. They called for their subordinates and rushed towards that place to protect the Sorcerer.
"Hehe, my dear lady, just let me be. If I am happy, I might spare your servants. After you and I get married, we will be family, and even I can't bear doing that!" An extremely wretched voice drifted over with the wind from afar.
When the Sorcerer heard this, he felt indignant. Yet, Hou Zhongyue laughed heartily. These words were truly pleasing to the ear. It was a pity that he could not use this trick to steal his wife's life now.
"All of you, stop." He saw on the other side of the mountain peak, there was a group of bandits surrounding a dozen or so people. Among these people, there was a young woman who looked like a beauty that could match the heavens. She was supported by a maid and her face was filled with anxiety.
Among the others, there was a young man dressed in white, fighting against three bandits, and the rest were dressed as servants. It was obvious that he was a member of the family.
Among the bandits, the leader was a burly man with thick eyebrows and vulgar eyes. He was drooling while staring at the woman.
Seeing that the Sorcerer had rushed out, the thick browed man raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Where did this little brat come from? Er Gouzi, cut off this brat's legs for me. How dare you disturb this grandpa's mood?"
In this guy's eyes, stealing a woman was indeed a good thing.
"How dare you!" The Sorcerer let out an angry roar and charged directly at the woman. He was in a protective stance as he unsheathed his sword and chopped Ergou, who was charging at him, to the ground.
"You're courting death." When the other bandits saw how fierce the Sorcerer was, they were instantly enraged. Just as they were about to gang up on him, Hou Zhongyue and the others had already rushed to the top of the mountain.
"You female thief, you bunch of abductors, how dare you offend my master, die for me!" Hou Zhongyue was extremely excited. When the King of Mountain met the King of Mountain, there was no room for two tigers in the same mountain. They were born to be aggressive.
On the other hand, Guan Shanyue was much calmer. When Hou Zhongyue slaughtered his way into the crowd, he had protected the Sorcerer from anyone else.
Hou Zhongyue led his men to join in the fray. The bandits were hacked down one by one. The imperial guards were no pushovers. They trained in the military formations, and soon, the situation stabilized.
"Hmph. You two can be considered to be ruthless. Mountains don't turn around. Boy, you spoilt my good deed. In the future, I'll take your head." When the thick-browed man saw that everyone on the Sorcerer's side had turned into a complete mess, he did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately shouted and left behind some harsh words.
"Ha! If you have the balls, don't leave! I'll see what you, a thief, can do." Hou Zhongyue chopped down two bandits and shouted angrily at the retreating King of the Mountain. He didn't look satisfied at all.
The bandits retreated quickly, leaving more than a dozen corpses behind to flee. Those who were surrounded finally let out a sigh of relief and walked towards the Sorcerer under the leadership of that young man.
"Thank you for your help." The young man clasped his fists.
The Sorcerer sized up the woman and embarrassedly smiled as he heard this. "You're welcome. As a local parent, how could you allow a bandit to act so arrogantly? You must be fine."
After looking at the Sorcerer for a moment, he finally said, "So it's Senior Wu. I've heard that the young elites of Tongzhou have some sort of character that I still don't know. Please excuse me."
These words were spoken with a hint of estrangement. The Sorcerer narrowed his eyes, while Guan Shanyue was furious. "You don't know what's good for yourself. Hearing that, Fourth Young Master of the Wen Family, you have quite the tone you have now."
The Sorcerer felt somewhat embarrassed. It was obvious that Ma Shaoliang had used his power to deal with the remaining evils of the Gold Horse Hall to attack the aristocratic families of the entire prefecture. He had offended many people, and now, the Sorcerer had taken the blame for his actions.
"Cousin, how can you be rude? Master Wu saved our lives, we should be truly grateful for that." The young woman gracefully stepped forward as the mountain breeze blew her skirt to flutter. She was truly bewitching.
"Who is this lady?" The Sorcerer fixed his eyes and politely asked.
When Wen Yiye saw the Sorcerer's eyes, his face immediately turned angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
"My name is Wanlan. Greetings, Lady Wu. Thank you for saving my life." The woman was gently making a fortune, and her demeanor was extremely graceful.
"What a beautiful person. Lady Wanlan, no need to be so polite. This is an internal matter. Under my rule, no one is allowed to act so arrogantly." The Sorcerer laughed, causing Wan Lan's cheeks to redden as her eyes widened in jealousy and anger.
"My lord, please excuse me. Wanlan is a bit tired, I will take my leave first and wait for another day to thank you for your help." Wanlan felt somewhat embarrassed under the Sorcerer's heated gaze and quickly took her leave.
"Hmph." Wenren Chuchu coldly snorted and followed behind him. However, she simply didn't like the look of the Sorcerer at all.
The Sorcerer looked at the blue figure and faintly smiled. This woman was truly interesting.
"Heh heh, my lord, is it that Wang Ba has set his eyes on me?" Hou Zhongyue leaned over and spoke in a low voice.
Uncle Dong rolled his eyes. What did this fellow say about a man's love for a concubine?
Of course, Uncle Dong also saw that the Sorcerer had gone into action, and his heart was at ease.
What he didn't know was that the Sorcerer had already confirmed that this woman was the one who had stabbed him that night. His heart was filled with even more interest.
It was not surprising that the Sorcerer could recognize that the woman who had attempted to assassinate him that night had cultivated the Six Paths of the Revolutions, giving the Sorcerer the ability to discern the aura of souls. Everyone's soul was different, and since the Sorcerer had this ability, it was impossible for him to confuse any of the people as long as the woman was dressed up.
However, the Sorcerer naturally wouldn't reveal this. This woman just so happened to appear again while he was sightseeing in the Nine Yin Mountain. Obviously, this wasn't some sort of coincidence.
Uncle Dong's reaction also confirmed his thoughts. He was afraid it was the Golden Horse Hall's doing again, but he couldn't be sure if it was the Third Young Master Ma's doing or the son of Second Master Ma who was in the prefectural city. The relationship between the Ma family and the Ma family was very complicated.
Being discouraged by a group of bandits, the Sorcerer no longer had the interest to explore the Nine Yin Mountain. Although there was a lot of Miasma here, it was impossible to see ghosts and spirits during the day.
After returning to Tongzhou City, the Sorcerer sent someone to find someone to look for him, and they were all enjoying themselves.
With Xing Ping watching over the government affairs of Tongzhou City, it wasn't anything major. For example, he didn't have to worry about finding traces of the Golden Horse Hall or the murder case, it actually allowed him to have a lot of free time.
Reading the records of Tongzhou City, the Sorcerer had indeed discovered many interesting things. Since the city was founded three thousand years ago, there had been many incidents that had occurred, leading to the Nine Yin Mountain, causing the Sorcerer to pay even more attention.
At the City Guards Institution, Ma Wenliang listened to Xu Shangfeng's description and nodded repeatedly. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to pry open the chicken-egg-shell gap when he had an attractive person inserted his way in.
A few days later, as the Sorcerer was reading the records of wild history in the prefecture, a guard suddenly came to notify him.
"Milord, there is a woman that wishes to meet you. She says that she's here to thank you for your kindness."
"A woman?" The Sorcerer was stunned for a moment. Then, he recalled the encounter with the Nine Yin Mountain and immediately came to a realization.
"Let's invite your esteemed guest to the guest hall. I'll be there shortly."
As the guard left, the Sorcerer snickered in his heart. Sure enough, he had come. He quickly tidied himself up and stepped out.
"I'd like to see what you all are up to."
Behind him was that maid from that day. She could be considered pretty, small and exquisite, but at this time, there was an extra coarse person in the living room who had caused the whole scene. The heavy butcher was sitting upright in the living room as if he was guarding the house, which made the maid frown.
