"Nie Changchuan!"

Hearing Nie Changchuan's arrogant words, Father Nie couldn't help but shout angrily: "You are a Taoist priest who kills demons and monsters, not a traitor who kills the king!"

Nie Changchuan said calmly: "Among all the civil and military officials in this court, who is not more hateful than a demon?"

Father Nie sneered, "You are scolding me and your Uncle Fu together."

Nie Changchuan shook his head and said, "Uncle Fu has always been upright and incorruptible, and hates evil as an enemy. You used to be clean, but you have only recently been associated with wealthy businessmen in Beijing, and the number of servants in your home has visibly increased."

Father Nie ignored Nie Changchuan's sarcasm and said coldly, "Don't you know why I did this?"

Nie Changchuan sighed and softened his tone, "I know that you went into the tiger's den just to save the country in a roundabout way and make that evil monk take back his comments about my sister, but I'm sorry that I can't agree with your method."

Father Nie sneered: "Do you have a better idea?"

“Of course!” Nie Changchuan’s eyes flashed with coldness, and he said coldly, “Pudu Cihang… this evil monk, I will take him in sooner or later!”

Father Nie glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't brag. If you really had this ability, how could you have let him become so powerful that your sister couldn't get married for so many years?"

Hearing this, the cold light in Nie Changchuan's eyes grew even brighter.

Back then, he relied on the Maoshan Patriarch's support and spoke to Pudu Cihang in public.

This evil monk was not yet the Imperial Master at that time and did not dare to fight him in public. Instead, he turned his spearhead toward his sister Nie Xiaoqian and even viciously made negative comments about her being unlucky and having a short life, and her family being ruined and killed.

It is precisely because of this comment that Nie Xiaoqian has not married to this day.

Nie Changchuan said coldly: "To be honest, I came down the mountain this time because I wanted to go to Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County and ask a hermit hero to come out and help me slay demons and monsters!"

Father Nie frowned and asked, "What hidden hero?"

Nie Changchuan said: "Yan Chixia, I wonder if Dad has heard of it."

Father Nie frowned, muttered a few words, and nodded, "You know what, I have really heard of this name."

"It is said that this man was once the chief constable of a county. He was an excellent swordsman and was known as the best swordsman in the world. He was famous in six provinces for arresting thirteen notorious thieves overnight and was also known as the ruthless judge."

"But isn't this person a martial arts expert? Can he also deal with Pudu Cihang?"

Nie Changchuan smiled and said, "Dad, you don't know that Master Yan is not only a master of swordsmanship, but also a cultivator. I heard that he has one of the most powerful weapons in China."

"With his help, plus the treasures I brought from my master's ancestral temple, it will be a piece of cake to subdue Pudu Cihang!"

Father Nie hesitated and asked, "Is it really like that?"

Nie Changchuan asserted: "That's absolutely true!"

Father Nie pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I'll trust you again, but remember, before you succeed, don't tell your uncle Fu the true identity of Pu Du Ci Hang. I can tolerate evildoers taking over the government and causing chaos, but he can't!"

"I see!"

Nie Changchuan nodded seriously.

He could imagine that after Fu Tianchou knew Pu Du Ci Hang's identity, he would rush to the palace in anger and ask the emperor to kill the evildoer.

But before he does these things, Pudu Cihang will definitely tear him into pieces.

For the safety of the Nie and Fu families, and in order not to alert the enemy, Fu Tianchou must be stabilized first.

…

…

After leaving the capital, Nie Changchuan sat in the carriage, looking out the window and thinking about the killing of Pudu Cihang.

Nie Xiaoqian sat opposite him, quietly observing his expression.

Soon, the carriage arrived.

Nie Xiaoqian asked the driver to stay where he was, and she got off the car with her brother and walked towards the half-hidden stone pavilion in the woods not far away.

There, a slim, well-proportioned, beautiful girl in a Taoist robe was waiting eagerly.

Seeing the brother and sister coming, the girl was surprised and ran out of the pavilion, shouting happily: "Brother Xiaochuan!"

Nie Changchuan came back to his senses, sighed, and was about to speak when a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind him.

Nie Changchuan frowned and turned around to see five majestic chestnut horses galloping on the official road.

One of the stallions seemed to smell the scent of the two mares in front of the carriage on the roadside. He suddenly neighed, slowed down his pace, and rushed towards the two mares in front of the carriage with red eyes.

The man on the horse was caught off guard and flew straight out, flying accurately towards Nie Changchuan... and Nie Xiaoqian who was beside him.

Nie Xiaoqian was stunned, and Fu Yuechi outside the pavilion cried out in surprise. Only Nie Changchuan reacted in time, kicked out to block the man, then put his hand on his shoulder and exerted his strength to dissipate all the impact.

After landing lightly on the ground, the man hurriedly touched his body, looking frightened.

Nie Changchuan frowned: "Brother, are you okay?"

"…It's okay, it's okay, thank you very much, brother, thank you very much, brother!"

The visitor came to his senses, his face full of gratitude, and kept thanking.

Nie Changchuan took a quick look at him and found that although this man had a full beard, his skin was fair and tender, his facial features were regular, and his words and actions revealed a very obvious scholarly air. He was obviously a young and handsome scholar.

...Wait, a handsome scholar?

Nie Changchuan suddenly came back to his senses and asked with a vigilant look on his face, "What's your name?"

The scholar swallowed his saliva, calmed himself down, and bowed in gratitude.

"My name is Ning Caichen, and I live in -- Hey, brother, I'm fine, why are you pushing me?"

Nie Changchuan had no expression on his face as he pushed Ning Caichen towards the official road. "It's good that you're not injured. Don't you want to hurry on your way? Hurry up and don't stay here too long. I'm afraid you know that there are female ghosts around here who love to harm handsome scholars like you..."

"There's a female ghost?!"

Ning Caichen was refreshed and said quickly, "Then I can't leave. I have four companions. They are powerful and are best at exorcising ghosts. Wait here for a moment. I will call them to help!"

After saying that, Ning Caichen ran to the official road and waved to the four people who stopped in front of him.

The corners of Nie Changchuan's mouth twitched and he almost slapped himself.

Why did he mention the female ghost so rudely?

Looking at Ning Caichen's back on the official road, Nie Changchuan turned decisively, walked to the two girls, took his sister Nie Xiaoqian's hand with his left hand, took his cousin Fu Yuechi's hand with his right hand, and walked quickly into the woods.

Nie Xiaoqian was confused and asked quickly: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Nie Changchuan said without even turning his head: "Let's go, we can't stay here anymore, let's go somewhere else to talk!"

Nie Xiaoqian was full of surprise and could not help but look back at Ning Caichen's back. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask more questions, Fu Yuechi next to her gently tugged at her sleeve.

Nie Xiaoqian was slightly startled. She turned her head and found that Fu Yuechi's face was flushed, she was biting her teeth lightly, and her eyes were fixed on Nie Changchuan's hand holding her wrist.

Seeing this scene, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly realized, and decisively shut up and smiled without saying anything.

On the other side, when the red-bearded horse lost control, Ding Xian jumped up, landed on the horse's back, and controlled the out-of-control red-bearded horse.

The brothers Zhao Lihe and Lu Jianxing dismounted, ignoring the frightened driver and two ordinary mares beside them, and circled around the red-bearded stallion ridden by Ding Xian**, exclaiming in amazement.

"How strange... How strange!"

"A gelding can actually do it?"

Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian looked at each other, and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Shen Lian reached out and touched the red-bearded horse's buttocks, then his face turned strange, and he turned around and saluted and said, "Master, this horse is born strange, and there are two other scrotums shrinking inside its body. It must be that it was not castrated cleanly at that time."

...This also works!

Zhao Lihe silently looked up at the sky, complaining in his heart that this plot development was too outrageous.

Ning Caichen hurried over at this time, shouting: "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, there is a ghost here, this place..."

Ding Xian took out two gold leaves from his arms and threw them to the coachman as compensation for the mental shock. Then he smiled, turned over and dismounted, and stopped Ning Caichen who was rushing over.

"Brother Ning, don't be anxious, speak slowly."

“…”

Ning Caichen took a breath and repeated what Nie Changchuan had just said.

Zhao Lihe smiled when he heard this. They had naturally noticed Nie Changchuan and the other two a long time ago.

It was because Nie Changchuan subconsciously helped that Zhao Lihe stopped Ding Xian from using his telekinesis to help.

Hearing Ning Caichen's words at this moment, Zhao Lihe couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You said that person wanted to chase you away as soon as he heard your name?"

Ning Caichen nodded in confusion: "It seems so."

Zhao Lihe laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Sure enough, it was right to bring you along!"

After saying that, Zhao Lihe waved his hand, and five handsome red-bearded horses suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The driver next to him was suddenly shocked.

Ding Xian smiled and bowed, saying, "Don't panic, old man. My master is a high-ranking Taoist priest from the Tianshi Mansion of Mount Longhu. These five horses are just magic spells, not real living things..."

"I see." The driver breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a friendly tone, "What a coincidence, my young master is a disciple of Mount Mao, and is a disciple of the Zhengyi School just like you at Mount Longhu!"

"Oh?" Zhao Lihe raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What a coincidence?"

Ding Xian also smiled and said, "Old man, you know a lot."

The driver said shyly, "Young lady likes to recite Taoist scriptures when she goes outing. I have learned a little bit from her."

Zhao Lihe asked with a smile: "Is your young lady's surname Nie?"

The driver was about to reply, but suddenly came to his senses, closed his mouth, and looked at Zhao Lihe and others warily.

Zhao Lihe already knew the answer to the question, so he smiled and bowed, then turned around and left with Ning Caichen, who had a confused look on his face.

…

At the same time, Nie Changchuan had already brought Nie Xiaoqian and Fu Yuechi to the woods.

Perhaps he felt that walking was not fast enough, so Nie Changchuan took out three talismans, made hand gestures, chanted a spell, and quickly stuck them on the legs of the three people.

In an instant, the wind blew out of nowhere, and the three people's steps became faster and their bodies became lighter.

Fu Yuechi's face was full of surprise, while Nie Xiaoqian looked surprised and couldn't help asking, "What are you hiding from?"

Of course, it’s to avoid your love disaster!

Nie Changchuan rolled his eyes and was about to find an excuse to get away with it when he suddenly noticed several prying glances coming from the front.

“…So fast?!”

Nie Changchuan looked surprised, stopped immediately, and looked forward with a frown.

A handsome young man in a white shirt walked out from behind the tree with a smile on his face. Behind him were three ghostwriters and the lingering protagonist Ning Caichen.

Nie Changchuan frowned, his eyes fixed on the young man in white who was obviously the leader.

The incident just happened suddenly, and Nie Changchuan was so worried that he was not able to react for a while.

Now that he had calmed down, a very serious question suddenly popped up in Nie Changchuan's mind.

——Who is this young man in white?

Why didn't he remember that there was such a person beside Ning Caichen!
