Dark Night

"You scoundrel! You're the disgrace! You treacherous and despicable man!" With Yi Yannian holding a sword to Chi Wenliu's throat, Bai Hanxin used the peach wood sword she carried with her.

Gou Xunhuan stood still, without making any move.

"What exactly do you want to do!" Chi Wenliu asked softly.

He was being held captive, while another person stood by indifferently. Anyone would be angry, including the person who was the mastermind behind his own imprisonment.

"Gou Xunhuan, I'm not done with you yet." Chi Wenliu wanted to save face, so he could only keep his anger inside.

"Greetings, everyone. I am Gou Xunhuan. The one you have bound is my senior brother, named Chi Wenliu."

"Now, you have three seconds to put him down." Gou Xunhuan casually counted, "3, 2, 1."

Before they could even land, a group of men in black appeared around them. "I gave you a chance, don't regret it."

"superior--"

A group of people swarmed forward in an organized manner, and Bai Hanxin suddenly felt relieved as he looked at Chi Wenliu being bound by whips.

Yi Yannian then drew his sword.

"Those who come with ill intentions, then kill them." As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already swiftly passed through a group of men in black. With a slash of his sword, those men fell to the ground, losing their lives in the process.

But change always happens in the next moment, and Yi Yannian faced off against Gou Xunhuan.

Although Gou Xunhuan was shameless, his skills were no less than anyone else's.

The sky was overcast, and thunder rumbled. No one in the crowd retreated, and no one noticed—the sky had changed.

"Drip, drip..." Raindrops fell on everyone, from one drop to many, it was raining.

Meng Qu looked at Yi Yannian, who was locked in fierce combat with Gou Xunhuan, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yi Yannian, come back!"

"Received." After saying that, Yi Yannian took the opportunity to beat him up, and then planned to slip away during the buffer period.

While Gou Xunhuan was still in a daze, he vaguely heard a voice say, "Stop fighting." And the voice sounded exactly like that of a certain leader of the Chi family.

Chi Wenliu felt like his luck had sunk to the bottom of the sea, it was incredibly bad and long-lasting. Looking at that impatient and arrogant guy, he felt like his head was throbbing.

"Damn it, you just wait, I'm going to report that scoundrel when we get back!" Chi Wenliu glanced at the people on the enemy side, and in terms of numbers, they had a slight advantage.

Currently, only Yi Yannian and Meng Qu have taken action. Bai Hanxin is wary of him, and Wen Liang has not yet made a move. Therefore, they cannot probe his true strength. Li Er is hiding, but he is not running away in a panic. He is taking Hanxin's secret-made pills and, recalling the terrifying scene from not long ago, he is trying to analyze the situation.

After hesitating and asking Liu Ma for help, he told the other party to stop.

Their goal is not that, nor should they go to extremes for a momentary victory.

...

Without knowing the exact probability, whether Gou Xunhuan could stop was a question Chi Wenliu stared at him coldly, like a wolf guarding its prey.

"Stop."

After he finished speaking, a moment of silence fell over the air.

Bai Hanxin analyzes the present situation, believing that practice yields true knowledge.

When a trend is likely to occur, it will develop in multiple directions, and whether it is favorable or unfavorable, it presents itself as a "variable".

Yi Yannian turned around and met Chi Wenliu's gaze as he stood under the roof. As Gou Xunhuan's pupils widened, a long arrow pierced through his hair.

Gou Xunhuan scoffed. He still had the injuries left by Yi Yannian on his body. He endured the pain, stood up, and coldly ordered the men in black to "retreat."

At the same time, he was also walking inside.

Yi Yannian, unusually, did not stop it.

Upon reaching the door, Yi Yannian turned around, calmly met the gaze of the person behind him, and suddenly stopped.

"I have a question for you." Yi Yannian turned to look at him.

"If there were no future destination, would you continue moving forward along the predetermined path of destiny? If you deviated from your original pace at some point, would you change the overall situation due to your own special circumstances?"

"What do you think?" After saying that, Gou Xunhuan knocked Yi Yannian unconscious before he could react. Gou Xunhuan looked at Yi Yannian lying on the ground and said, "Tsk, what a hassle."

He coldly dragged the other person and shoved them through the door.

Looking at the troublesome person in his hands, Gou Xunhuan tossed Yi Yannian to Meng Qu, adding, "Keep an eye on your man."

Inside the door, Chi Wenliu leaned against the darkness, her eyes cold as she stared back at him expressionlessly. Her face remained unchanged, but she was definitely angry.

"The young lady of the Dark Night family, that's just her temper. Tsk, in this situation, she might accidentally get played with by him. I hope nothing bad will happen."

When Chi Wenliu walked in, she patted his back heavily, "Are you alright? It's so good to see you alive."

Gou Xunhuan said with a forced smile, "Oh, well, I really should thank you."

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure." After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chi Wenliu left. Standing there, Gou Xunhuan felt intuitively that the other was really a "childish devil".

"Oh."

After putting away their butcher knives, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Er managed to tidy up the scene before anyone could react. The people who had collapsed in the old inn were piled up together, which didn't look very nice.

But since no one cares, there's nothing to say about it.

"Who exactly are you people?"

"I am An Ye, and I am Chi Wen Liu."

After he finished speaking, both groups fell silent.

Since it was the first time the younger generation had descended the mountain, they encountered people from the three major sects. It was like playing rock-paper-scissors, with the other party deliberately telling you the answer.

Gou Xunhuan leaned back in his chair, with the arrogant Dark River man beside him and the philosophical thinker on the other. He asked with some interest, "Where are you from?"

“I am Luo Shu, Bai Hanxin.”

"oh."

"I am Yi Yannian, hello Mr. Gou."

...

Hearing this, Chi Wenliu, who had been indifferent, immediately sat up straight and gave Yi Yannian a thumbs up.

"Incredible, Mr. Gou."

Gou Xunhuan rubbed Chi Wenliu's head and said coldly, "Wenliu."

"What?" Chi Wenliu returned the gaze with the same expression.

"It's nothing," Mr. Gou said with a smile, secretly pinching him hard.

Chi Wenliu retaliated by stomping on him, stomping on him repeatedly. Both of them maintained excellent composure, showing no sign of harming each other.

Yi Yannian appreciated the significance of Mr. Chi's thumbs-up and chatted with those around him in a relaxed manner.

"I am Yi Yannian of Chaomu, and the person beside me is my junior brother Meng Qu."

"." Meng Qu's self-introduction is omitted.

Wen Liang looked at everyone pulling and tugging, and suddenly felt a little warm. He had heavy dark circles under his eyes, but it did not affect his appearance at all.

"Welcome to the old inn. I am Wen Liang, the acting owner and manager here."

Silence speaks louder than words.

All eyes turned to him, and Wenliang, the shopkeeper, smiled broadly.
