"That's true."
Upon hearing this, Phil Gaudette nodded, glanced at Huai'an who had rushed over, and gave instructions.
"Take this unconscious young man to the guest room on the top floor."
"ah?"
Huai'an was taken aback at first, but after seeing the look Phil Gaudette gave him, he quickly nodded.
Then, carrying Xiao on his back, he went upstairs.
"So, sir, are you looking for a meal or a place to stay?"
"I don't want anything."
Jiang Mu shook his head.
"I just dropped someone off, now I'm leaving."
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Mu quickly left.
"What a strange person."
Phil Gaudette shook her head, relieved that Jiang Mu wouldn't do anything else, and then turned her attention back to the bill in front of her.
………………
After reaching the outside of Wangshu Inn, Jiang Mu flew away.
However, the destination was not Qingce Village where the farm was located, but Liyue Harbor.
After a successful landing, Jiang Mu headed straight into the city.
This time, there was no questioning from the Thousand Rock Army; it seems Keqing had given them a good beating.
Soon, Jiang Mu spotted a familiar figure—
Xingqiu.
However, at this moment, this guy was looking at the young sorcerer beside him with a wicked grin.
"Chongyun, I've discovered another secret realm today. There should be evil spirits inside. Let's go explore!"
"Xingqiu, the injuries I sustained when I entered that haunted house last time haven't fully healed yet, so it's possible..."
Chongyun, standing to the side, looked troubled.
"Sigh, it's my fault for not warning you last time that there were vengeful ghosts there, which caused you to get injured by accident..."
"But why do I have a feeling that you secretly set up that trap?"
Chongyun said with a face full of disdain.
"Oh dear, don't worry about the details. Look, you're covered in bruises. I have a maid who studies essential oil therapy in a noble family in the Sumeru Kingdom. I asked her to massage your muscles and bones, so you'll have to accept this favor... Hey, hey, hey, if you don't want to, then don't, just don't pull out that greatsword..."
………………
Seeing the two best buddies looking so affectionate, Jiang Mu suppressed a laugh and walked over.
"Xingqiu, how have you been?"
Jiang Mu stepped forward and greeted him.
"Oh, you are... Brother Jiang Mu?"
Upon seeing Jiang Mu, Xingqiu squinted for a moment to make out his identity, then suddenly realized that he recognized this man who had helped him cheat the Zheng family... ugh! He was a comrade-in-arms who had helped him in his chivalrous deeds... ugh! He was a partner!
"I didn't expect you to still remember me." Jiang Mu chuckled, glancing at Chong Yun, who was somewhat wary beside him, and smiled.
"I remember we had dinner together before. What, you don't recognize me?"
Upon hearing this, Chongyun was taken aback. After a moment, he quickly clasped his hands in a salute.
"It's Brother Jiang Mu! I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you..."
After a long pause, Chongyun blushed and added another sentence.
"Thank you for inviting me to your home, but I'm very sorry, I lost my composure at the table..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was taken aback at first, then immediately recalled the time when he invited Xing Qiu to visit, the latter had brought Chong Yun along and tricked him into eating the chili peppers Xiang Ling had made, which led to Chong Yun's outburst...
"Cough cough... It's alright, it's alright..."
Jiang Mu waved his hand, finding it somewhat amusing.
"Now that we've finally met again, let's not talk outside. Brother Jiang Mu, Chong Yun, please come in."
Xingqiu chuckled and interjected, leading the two into the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
………………
After everyone sat down, Xingqiu briefly recounted his experiences over the years.
It turns out that shortly after the two started working together, Xingqiu was sent by his family to the Guhua School to learn martial arts.
To his surprise, once Xingqiu arrived at the sect, he discovered that this once-famous sect had fallen into decline, and even the mountain gate and venue used for recruitment were rented...
However, this had no impact on Xingqiu, who longed to learn martial arts and uphold justice.
Since joining the sect, this guy has devoted himself to studying the sect's ancient texts. Four years later, Xingqiu actually comprehended the ancient and modern "martial arts principles".
After comprehending this principle, Xingqiu wrote down a martial arts verse, then bid farewell to his sect and went off to practice chivalry.
And now, the thing he does most every day, besides visiting Wanwenjishe, is to trick his good brother Chongyun.
Of course, Xingqiu himself didn't say it that way. According to him, it was called accompanying his friends to fight demons and monsters!
After Xingqiu finished speaking, Jiang Mu also briefly recounted his experiences in recent years.
When Jiang Mu mentioned his travels through the seven kingdoms, Xing Qiu's eyes revealed obvious envy.
Perhaps, in his heart, this was also a kind of chivalrous act.
Traveling through seven countries, witnessing the diverse ecosystems of each; roaming the world, cleverly resolving the injustices of the world.
………………
After recounting a few interesting stories from his life over the years, Jiang Mu felt a bit thirsty, so he picked up the tea that had just been poured and took a sip.
"So, Brother Jiang Mu, what brings you here today?"
Although he was still somewhat unsatisfied, Xingqiu knew that Jiang Mu had come to see him today for more than just to tell him stories, so he asked directly.
"I will do my best to help."
"I do need to trouble you with something."
Jiang Mu smiled and began to explain his purpose for coming...
