The girl in green laughed for a moment, glanced at Murong Fu, and asked, "Interesting. What's your name?"
Murong Fu shrugged, not answering directly: "It is basic courtesy to introduce yourself before asking someone's name."
The girl in green took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Interesting! I am Biyao, and you are?"
"My name is Murong Fu." Murong Fu smiled slightly and replied, "It's quite a coincidence that I've heard that the young master of the Ghost King Sect also seems to have this name."
"What?"
The girl in green's expression changed drastically.
"Do not panic. This is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, where countless senior masters reside in seclusion. If that demoness dares to show herself, she will surely not return alive." Murong Fu paused, then continued:
"I never imagined that you would share the same name as that demoness. But I suppose the Ghost King Sect wouldn't travel all the way to Qingyun Mountain just to kill you for someone with the same name."
After a moment, Murong Fu continued, "Furthermore, I have heard that the demoness of the Ghost King Sect is ugly and looks like a devil, far inferior to your beauty, Miss."
Upon hearing Murong Fu's words, Biyao's face twitched violently, and her slender hands were already resting on the magic weapon at her waist.
But she stopped him with a look from the woman in black.
The woman in black remained expressionless, her voice as cold as ice:
"Young Master Murong is so refined and knowledgeable, how could he possibly know the demoness of the Ghost King Sect?"
"We rogue cultivators dare not even imagine the grandeur and vastness of the Ghost King Sect, let alone compare ourselves to the young lady of the Ghost King Sect."
Unbeknownst to them, the woman in black had already assumed a defensive stance, ready to flee with the girl in green should anything go wrong.
As Murong Fu said, this place is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, where there are many experts, and she does not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"You flatter me, young lady." Murong Fu smiled and waved his hand. "I have only seen descriptions of this in ancient books. It is said that the demoness of the Demonic Sect is a red-eyed Rakshasa, a fierce and evil spirit. Some even say that she eats evil ghosts every day and is more like an evil ghost than an evil ghost itself."
"you……"
The girl in green gritted her teeth and said, "Who are you calling a red-eyed demon? Who are you calling more like a demon than a demon?!"
The woman in black shook her head slightly again to stop the girl in green from getting angry, and said in a deep voice, "Young master is joking. We rogue cultivators would not dare to joke about the Ghost King Sect."
"To meet is fate." Murong Fu raised his hand to create a soundproof barrier and said earnestly:
"To be honest, the four of us are core disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and our purpose in coming here is to thwart the evil deeds of the Demonic Sect."
"I see that you two young ladies are as pure and holy as immortals, and your cultivation is extraordinary, unlike ordinary people. I earnestly request that you join us to eradicate the demonic sect and bring peace to the world!"
Having said that, Murong Fu stared at the two women with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
They were stared at so intently that they felt uneasy.
Are you inviting us to eradicate ourselves?
Biyao was about to refuse,
Youji readily agreed: "Alright, thank you for the invitation, young master. We agree."
Biyao looked puzzled.
But then You Ji declared in a firm and resounding voice, "To eradicate the evil cult and protect the common people is our inescapable duty!"
"Well said!"
A man carrying a long sword walked over and said, "Excuse me, I did not mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to be there."
The young man clasped his hands in a fist salute and said earnestly, "I am Li Xiaoyao, a wandering knight-errant who travels the world to uphold justice and protect the common people."
Murong Fu nodded and said, "So it's Young Hero Li. In that case, how about Young Hero Li joins this operation?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao hesitated and said with distress, "To be honest, I have gotten separated from my friend and need to find him first."
Murong Fu asked, "Where did your friend go missing? Do you have any clues? We have plenty of time, so we can help you find your friend first, and then we can go and fight the Demonic Sect."
Li Xiaoyao was immediately caught in a dilemma, and hesitated before saying, "Actually, we don't need to go find her."
Murong Fu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you have a falling out with a friend?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled wryly, then suddenly his stomach growled.
Murong Fu chuckled and patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder, saying, "Let's not talk about that now, let's have a meal together first."
"Alright, thank you, Young Master Murong."
Li Xiaoyao's spirits lifted.
During the meal.
Without showing any emotion, Youji transmitted her voice to Biyao: "This kid is from the Shu Mountain Sect."
"The Shu Mountain Sect?!"
Biyao glanced at Li Xiaoyao with her beautiful eyes.
I never expected this poor, stingy young man to be from the Shu Mountain Sect. No wonder he exudes such an annoying aura.
Compared to the Qingyun Sect, the Shushan Sect has a lower tolerance for demonic sects. In fact, there is a famous Demon-Locking Tower on Mount Shu, which imprisons all kinds of demons.
"Aunt You, we..."
"Do not act rashly. Such talented young people must have protectors."
"Mmm~"
The two remained expressionless, secretly communicating with each other.
Murong Fu stared at them with great interest. They were so brazen in transmitting their voices; they really didn't consider him an outsider.
What are you looking at?
Biyao looked up and met Murong Fu's gaze, somewhat displeased.
Murong Fu said earnestly, "I have always been powerless against beautiful things. The two young ladies are beautiful and generous, and I couldn't help myself."
Biyao was stunned; it was the first time she had ever heard someone speak of peeping so bluntly.
