MTLNOVEL Chapter 398: Chapter 398 Peers
…
Suddenly, the street next to the restaurant was filled with shouts and cries of killing, but as it was night, no one was watching. Shen Ye even saw a dozen Yuzhou night patrol soldiers standing far away on the street, with no intention of coming over to stop the fighting.
"Brother Shen, will Senior Brother be okay?"
As the saying goes, caring too much makes one confused. As a junior sister, Lu Linxuan was still extremely nervous even when she saw Li Xingyun slaughtering those miscellaneous soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables.
Shen Ye looked at the situation on the field, and then concentrated on sensing it. He found that there were no other masters except Jiang Zhaoyi. He said in an especially relaxed tone: "Relax, Xuan'er, your senior brother hasn't tried his best yet, and Brother Zhang is the same. If the two of them are added together, even a Intermediate heaven-level master can't take them down in a short time."
As he was speaking, Jiang Zhaoyi, who was watching the fight on the side with the airs of a master, finally couldn't hold back any longer and joined in. He shouted with great confidence, "Flame Dragon Fist", and with a ball of fire, he punched at Li Xingyun.
However, as a mere Greater star, how could he contend with Li Xingyun, who was of the Lesser heaven rank? He was forced back by a single palm strike from Li Xingyun, who reacted quickly.
"An experience package is just an experience package. It's useless no matter how confident you are. This is not the plot of Saint Seiya. Idealism is no match for materialism. No matter how high your confidence is, it can't increase your combat effectiveness." Seeing this scene, Shen Ye shook his head slightly, thinking that there was no need to watch it anymore, it was over.
Sure enough, his confident punch was repelled by the other party. Jiang Zhaoyi also knew that the information from the Black and White Impermanence was wrong. At this time, he could no longer maintain the airs of a master and immediately shouted some underworld jargon.
"This is a tough idea, brothers, please stop talking."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped onto the roof of a house on the street, and with a few leaps he disappeared into the night.
After he left, the remaining scum of the Xuanming Sect naturally lost their will to fight. After Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan killed dozens of them, the rest all ran away.
Looking at the two people who seemed to be trying to catch up, Shen Ye shouted: "Brother Li, Brother Zhang, stop chasing, go back to your room and rest first, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan had no choice but to give up the idea of pursuit and turned around and jumped back into the room.
Lu Linxuan asked at this time: "Brother Shen, do you want to ask the shopkeeper to change a room for them?"
Shen Ye looked up at the bright moon in the sky, smiled and shook his head: "It won't rain tonight."
"Oh!" Lu Linxuan understood what he meant.
Then she pulled Shen Ye's arm and said, "Brother Shen, let's go back to sleep!"
"How can you still sleep?" Shen Ye looked at her.
"Because Brother Shen is by my side, Xuan'er feels at ease and can sleep well." Lu Linxuan hugged his arm with a smile, "Let's go, Brother Shen, let's go to bed."
"Okay then." Shen Ye nodded.
…
The next morning.
Shen Ye woke up Lu Linxuan who was still sleeping in his arms. After they simply washed up, they went straight to Li Xingyun's room to find him.
However, as soon as the two arrived at the door of Li Xingyun's room, they heard the voices of Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan on the first floor.
"What, you want us to pay one hundred taels of silver? Why are you so mean?" This was Li Xingyun's angry voice.
Zhang Zifan then said, "That's right. Repairing a roof only costs thirty or forty taels at most. Shopkeeper, you are too greedy."
Then the shopkeeper said politely, "My two heroes, you are staying in the upper room, which is expensive. It will take at least four or five days to repair the roof. You can't live in it during these four or five days. This loss is something we can't afford. I hope you two heroes can forgive me."
There was a bloody fight on the street next to the restaurant yesterday, and naturally everyone in the restaurant was woken up. The shopkeeper also saw the scene of two people killing everyone through the crack in the door. Moreover, he was so polite to them because he saw that both of them were skilled in martial arts, otherwise he would have turned hostile and demanded money.
Although Li Xingyun killed the people of Xuanming Sect without blinking an eye, he was still very polite to ordinary people. After hearing the shopkeeper's words, he thought that this seemed to be the case, and his tone softened.
"One hundred taels is one hundred taels, take it." He took out a gold ingot and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand depressedly, and at the same time lamented that the money came easily and was also easily spent. In just a few days, most of the dozens of taels of gold he had on him had been spent.
After waving away the shopkeeper who was still asking them if they wanted to eat something, the two found a seat by the window and sat down. At this time, Li Xingyun saw Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan coming downstairs, so he waved at them: "Brother Shen, Junior Sister, here..."
Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan walked over and just sat down when they heard Li Xingyun say, "Brother Shen, we fought off the Xuanming Sect's sneak attack last night. Can we leave today?"
"Of course, and they won't cause us any more trouble in the short term, so the sooner we leave the better." Shen Ye said, looking out the window, and found that there was no blood on the street. It seemed that the patrolling soldiers cleaned the streets overnight in order not to affect the stability of Yuzhou.
At this time, Zhang Zifan suddenly said: "Hey, although I know you are leaving Yuzhou, I don't know where you are going. Can you tell me? If it's on the way, we can still travel together."
Although they had been together for two days, neither Li Xingyun nor Lu Linxuan told Zhang Zifan where they were going. Now that he saw them were about to leave, he asked this question.
Lu Linxuan didn't like Zhang Zifan to begin with. When she heard this, she was about to mention a place, but Li Xingyun spoke quickly and said before her: "We are going to Zhongnanshan Cangbing Valley."
"That's great. I'm going to Luoyang, so we can go there just in time." Zhang Zifan folded his fan and couldn't help feeling happy.
"Who wants to go with you..." Lu Linxuan muttered, and then looked at Shen Ye. She didn't know why Shen Ye wanted to stay in Yuzhou, nor did she know where he would go in the future. Now that her senior brother mentioned going to Cangbing Valley, she asked Shen Ye: "Brother Shen, are you going to stay in Yuzhou or go to Cangbing Valley with us?"
"It's up to me." Shen Ye didn't have any specific place he wanted to go, so he planned to follow the protagonists in the early stages. Anyway, only by following them could he better experience the plot and get to know more important characters.
"In that case...Brother Shen, then come with us to the Soldier Valley." Lu Linxuan said, looking at him expectantly.
"Okay." Shen Ye thought about it, then nodded in agreement.
To be honest, if Shen Ye had not been involved in the incident that Li Xingyun encountered in Yuzhou at the beginning, he would have gone to Fengxiang long ago, and might have met the empress now.
But since he was involved in Li Xingyun's affairs, he decided to do something to help him. At least, he couldn't let Old Li experience the separation of life and death that he didn't want to experience under Yuan Tiangang's deliberate arrangement.
