"My Ali, confident and outspoken, should never be timid and submissive."
He pinched Chu Jiangli's blank face and asked him, "Do you understand now?"
Chu Jiangli finally came to his senses, a smile spreading across his lips as he nodded, "I understand..."
When the two of them came downstairs dressed, Yu Qi and the other two had already ordered breakfast and were waiting for them on the first floor.
At this time, there were quite a few guests sitting on the first floor. What was originally just an unintentional glance at the person coming downstairs turned into an uncontrollable fixation on Chu Jiangli's face.
Dressed in vibrant red, with a red silk blindfold and a Lingxiao sword at his waist, only one person in the world dares to dress like this!
That is Chu Jiangli, the Palace Master of Liyue Palace, whose martial arts skills and beauty are unparalleled in the world!
"Chu... Chu Jiangli?" a wandering swordsman stammered. "How could he be in this remote border town?"
"This is the first time I've seen him in person, and he really is as beautiful as the legends say!"
"But as a man, isn't this appearance a bit too flamboyant?"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Do you have a death wish to say such things?"
"Chu Jiangli is a killing machine! He'll start a fight at the drop of a hat. Let's shut up and watch our heads!"
There are those who know their place, and there are those who don't.
Just as they closed their mouths, a group of people dressed in the attire of the Sword Forging Manor walked in from outside. The leader of the hall drew his sword and called out to Chu Jiangli and Yu Tang, "Palace Master Chu, we have something we would like to ask Physician Yu to come with us to the Sword Forging Manor. Could you do us the honor of letting him go?"
They had been lying in ambush in Sanshui Town for a long time, just waiting for Yutang to come out of the mountains.
This was also the order given to them by the old master of the manor.
But I never expected to run into Chu Jiangli here.
However, they reasoned that they had the advantage in numbers, and Chu Jiangli was cold-blooded and ruthless, so he wouldn't be foolish enough to openly oppose the Sword Casting Manor just because of a chance encounter with Yu Tang.
Chu Jiangli pulled Yu Tang downstairs and waved to Nan Yun to protect Yu Qi and Xiao Han.
Then, facing the hall master, he spoke.
"That's ridiculous."
"Face is for people, not for animals."
Chu Jiangli drew his longsword and replied to the hall master, "That hypocritical old beast from the Sword Forging Manor thinks he can get face from me? He's not worthy!"
Chapter 10
The villain was resurrected for the sixth time (10)
"Chu Jiangli, you're too arrogant!"
The hall master turned pale with anger, drew his sword, and shouted, "How dare you speak to the old manor lord like that? I think you're tired of living!"
Seeing him rush over, the others drew their swords and followed, frightening the diners in the inn so much that they hid under the tables for safety.
The shopkeeper and his staff screamed and trembled.
"Twenty in total." Yu Tang said to Chu Jiangli, "Ten each, quick and decisive, so as not to affect the shopkeeper's business."
Chu Jiangli was taken aback for a moment, still feeling somewhat worried, but in the end he chose to trust Yu Tang.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful."
Afterwards, Yu Qi and Xiao Han stared in disbelief as Yu Tang, who should have been frail, punched a martial arts practitioner away, and was not harmed in the slightest amidst the flashing swords.
Within two minutes, everyone from the Sword Forging Manor had fallen.
Yu Tang stepped on the hall master's chest with one foot and put his arm on his knee, saying, "You brat, I'll spare your life. Go back and tell your old manor lord that I know everything he did to the Yu family. Another day, the Palace Master of Liyue Palace and I will definitely pay him a visit and let that old bastard taste the pain of having his entire family slaughtered."
Then she raised her foot and kicked the man hard in the waist, sending him flying out of the inn and crashing onto the bluestone road!
The man wailed in pain as he scrambled away, shouting, "Chu Jiangli, Yu Tang, you've messed with our Sword Casting Manor! You won't get away with this!"
"From now on, the Sword Forging Manor will surely raze Mount Nanlu to the ground and wipe the Moonlit Palace from the annals of the martial world!"
"A dog that bites doesn't bark."
Chu Jiangli stood beside Yu Tang and sneered, "The disciples of the Sword Forging Manor are nothing but empty boasts."
Yu Tang noticed some bloodstains on his face and took out a handkerchief to wipe them off for him.
"Let him be, it won't be long anyway."
After saying that, he smiled and said to Chu Jiangli, "But you see, I didn't lie to you, did I? My strength is no less than yours now, so you don't need to worry about me anymore."
"This time, we will avenge ourselves together and stand together through thick and thin."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiangli's cold expression vanished. He took Yu Tang's hand, gently hugged her, and replied with a soft "okay," his voice almost unbelievably gentle.
Nan Yun, watching from the side, twitched the corner of his mouth and fiercely rubbed his eyes!
Damn it! He just saw those pink bubbles again!
Damn, it's dazzling!
He stepped over the corpses and stood before the two people who were still radiating a sweet atmosphere. He spoke up, "Palace Master, it seems that Sanshui Town is not safe. Why don't we check out and set off today?"
Chu Jiangli lifted his head from Yu Tang's embrace perfunctorily and hummed in response.
Then it stuck to Yu Tang again.
Yu Tang finally managed to get Chu Jiangli to let go of him, then took out his money bag and went to the shopkeeper and the shop assistant to pay for the renovation and cleaning fees.
As soon as he boarded the carriage, the executioner hurried towards the Moon Palace.
This time, the atmosphere inside the carriage was completely different from yesterday.
Yesterday, Chu Jiangli acted like a coward, hiding in a corner at the slightest provocation.
Chu Jiangli, however, has now transformed into a giant human-shaped accessory, sitting in her seat with half of her body pressed against Yu Tang, clinging to the man and refusing to let go.
Yu Tang doted on him and let him do as he pleased.
He even unwrapped the oil paper, picked up a piece of pastry, and fed it to Chu Jiangli himself.
Seeing this, Yu Qi and Xiao Han immediately felt that the two of them sitting there were completely superfluous.
Xiao Han hugged the cat tightly and finally couldn't help but ask a series of questions: "Dr. Yu, how did you suddenly become so powerful at the inn?"
"And this must be your first time meeting Palace Master Chu, right? How could you... how could you so hastily get together with him?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiangli immediately turned his head, and Hongchou stared straight at Xiaohan, which frightened Xiaohan so much that she quickly buried half of her face in the cat's long fur.
"I'm sorry, Palace Master Chu, I was just a little curious..."
Seeing this, Yu Tang reached out and flicked Chu Jiangli on the forehead: "Don't scare Xiao Han."
After thinking for a moment, he told Xiaohan and Yuqi about their rebirth.
After listening, the two were filled with emotion.
Xiaohan cried so hard that her eyes filled with tears, soaking the cat's fur.
She was no longer so afraid of Chu Jiangli's attitude: "Palace Master Chu, I never expected you to be so devoted to my Doctor Yu. You two are a match made in heaven, and no one can separate you!"
"Let me correct you," Chu Jiangli interrupted him, saying, "It's not your Dr. Yu, it's my miracle doctor, my beloved."
"Don't call me by the wrong name again."
Yu Tang found his childish behavior amusing.
After traveling for two days, the carriage stopped at the foot of Mount Nanlu.
Chu Jiangli sent the others up first, while he took Yu Tang's hand and strolled leisurely up the mountain path.
On the way, Chu Jiangli picked a green leaf from a tree and said to Yu Tang, "Tangtang, I've secretly learned the tune you played in your past life, and I'll play it for you."
After saying that, he placed the leaf in front of his lips and began to play a tune.
The not-so-loud sound, carried by the rustling of leaves in the mountain breeze, reached Yu Tang's ears.
When Yu Tang played a tune on a leaf, Chu Jiangli didn't say he wanted to learn it, but he remembered the tunes very clearly.
In his past life, on many nights after Yu Tang's death, he would gaze at the portrait of the other man, sit blankly at the table, and clumsily try to learn to blow sounds with leaves, following his memories.
Practice over and over until it overlaps with your memory...
The song ended.
Yu Tang praised it generously: "It sounds beautiful..."
He pinched Chu Jiangli's cheek: "As expected of my A-Li, you can learn anything."
Chu Jiangli couldn't help but smile when he was praised, his heart filled with sweetness.
"If you like, I can play it for you anytime."
“Okay…” Yu Tang walked up the steps, turned around and asked, “Then I want you to sing for me for the rest of your life, can you do that?”
After Chu Jiang left, he stepped down a few stairs, looked up, opened his eyes beneath the red silk, and gazed in the direction of Yutang.
A gentle breeze caressed his face, red silk fluttered, and the dazzling sun seemed to force him to see the radiant man in the darkness.
My chest was filled with overwhelming love and sweetness.
It almost overshadowed the heart-wrenching pain I felt when I lost this person in my previous life.
He still remembered the day he killed Prince Ning, when he was surrounded by a hail of arrows.
Finally, as I collapsed to the ground, all I saw was a patch of blue sky, white clouds, and dazzling sunlight.
He reached out to grab it, but ultimately grabbed nothing.
But this time...
Chu Jiangli raised his hand again and carefully touched a section of Yu Tang's sleeve.
Then, suddenly clench it tightly!
Her lips curled up in a smile, but tears soaked the red silk.
He said in a hoarse voice.
"As long as you're here."
"I can do anything."
