Even though the young man in the green robe was at a disadvantage in his fight with Gu Mu, he did not change his expression.
Seeing the fifteen-year-old girl in front of him, he showed a troubled expression: "Lu Xiaoyao, what are you doing here?"
Lu Xiaoyao's foot was caught by the young man in the green robe with a palm strike, and she was flipped over and sat on the tree trunk next to him.
The young man in the blue robe had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the "big shot".
Fortunately, he was covered by a straw hat and was not discovered by Lu Xiaoyao.
Lu Xiaoyao was born with red lips and white teeth; she was extremely beautiful.
Unlike Shen Ling's aloofness and coldness, she possesses a chivalrous spirit.
“I’m following you. Master, you’ve become weaker, and you didn’t even notice.”
Lu Xiaoyao said confidently.
"You've already ruined Master's fortune, go and harm others instead." The young man in the blue robe said with a look of disgust.
When speaking to Lu Xiaoyao, the young man in the green robe spoke normally, unlike the ambiguous voice he had before.
On the contrary, it was the voice of a very pleasant young boy.
“Look, Master, didn’t you have your eye on that big family over there?” Lu Xiaoyao immediately saw through the young man in the blue robe’s little scheme: “Let’s make our move together.”
"I want half," Lu Xiaoyao said, both poor and stubborn.
Gu Mu and his assassins proceeded into a forest.
After two days and two nights of travel, they were now far from the imperial court.
Because they often encountered bandits who tried to rob them on the road, although none of them were a match for Gu Mu and his assassins.
But it will still slow down their progress.
So Gu Mu and the assassin each wore a ghost mask, looking sinister and terrifying, which did indeed scare away many people.
There were far fewer robbers.
"It will take another three days to travel." Even with a thoroughbred horse, traveling at full speed, it will still be three days' journey to the border.
Because his body had been sculpted by the Body Strengthening Pill and the Spirit Pill, Gu Mu's five senses were even better than before.
“There were people talking not far away, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying.”
"The other party is a martial artist, and their aura is well concealed, but it can't fool me. There are two of them."
"They are moving closer to us."
Gu Mu spoke to the assassin, reminding him to prepare early.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, two darts came flying toward him and the assassin.
Gu Mu used his sword to deflect the two darts.
The metal struck, producing a crisp sound in the air.
"What a fast reaction speed!" The one who threw the dart was a fifteen-year-old girl dressed simply and neatly.
This girl is extremely beautiful. If she were to compete for the title of the ten most beautiful women in the capital, she could be ranked first alongside Shen Ling.
She gasped slightly, but showed no mercy.
A long whip was lashed out at Gu Mu.
Gu Mu instinctively dodged, but unexpectedly, the long whip could change direction in mid-air and tether the horse's leg.
With a tug of the whip, the horse was startled and swayed its body, trying to throw Gu Mu off.
At the same time, the young man in the green robe also emerged from the ground, holding a sword without a scabbard, and thrust it at Gu Mu.
"This mountain is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!" Lu Xiaoyao shouted with practiced ease.
Gu Mu leaped into the air on horseback and received the attack from the young man in blue.
At the same time, the assassins also leaped from their horses, restraining Lu Xiaoyao and preventing her from attacking Gu Mu again.
"I didn't expect it to be him again." Gu Mu looked at the young man in the blue robe with a speechless expression.
He must still be recovering from the internal injuries he sustained in the fight last time.
I was originally going to let him off the hook, but I didn't expect to run into him again. He even came to me of his own accord.
Gu Mu looked at the young man in the blue robe with pity in his eyes.
Because Gu Mu was wearing a mask, the young man in the blue robe couldn't see his gaze.
He had already become famous five years ago.
No one can hurt him, except... that person.
But that person is the regent, who is above all others. At this moment, there are undercurrents in the court, and that person could not possibly be here.
Close combat.
Unlike last time, the young man in the green robe did not drop his sword, but said, "My greatest skill is not with a sword, but you are worthy of it."
Instead, he held the sword without a scabbard and went back and forth with Gu Mu.
Gu Mu was afraid of being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble, so he kept some of his strength to himself.
If the news of his presence here were to reach the capital, the young man in the blue robe might spread the word.
All the pretense they had put into the Prince's mansion would be exposed.
This could allow the Empress Dowager's faction to launch a coup d'état ahead of schedule.
This is something Gu Mu does not want to see.
Therefore, he only used half of his strength, and since the young man in the green robe did not use his most proficient palm technique, the two barely managed to draw.
The situation wasn't much better for the assassins.
Although Lu Xiaoyao addressed the young man in green as "Master," the two followed different paths, and it was unknown who her true master was.
The assassins' greatest strength wasn't fighting, but stealth. When they faced the martial arts prodigy, they suffered a setback and were beaten down.
Gu Mu parried the young man in green's fierce attack, using brute force to defeat his skill and drive him back.
Then he took the initiative to attack, thrusting a sword toward the young man in the blue robe's chest.
The sword grazed the young man's collar, but he managed to dodge it in time.
But this was just a feint. Taking advantage of the close proximity, Gu Mu clenched his fist and punched the young man in the blue robe in the abdomen.
The boy in the green robe was thrown by the force of the blow, crashing into a tree trunk and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
...How did I get internal injuries again?
...Has he become weaker, or has the world gone mad?
Before he met that person, no one could hurt him.
But why was he injured internally twice in a row?
Seeing the young man in the blue robe, Lu Xiaoyao let out a merciless laugh.
They've been standing at the top for so long that they can't even see the other side getting thoroughly beaten.
Although it seems that the young man in the green robe lost this time, with his strength, there is no way he could be in any danger.
So when faced with this rare scene, Lu Xiaoyao lost all interest in fighting and watched the show from the sidelines: "Master, are you robbing others, or are others robbing you?"
"..." The young man in the blue robe.
Gu Mu thrust his long sword toward the young man in the blue robe’s chest.
However, his vision was suddenly obscured by white smoke, and Gu Mu's sword, without changing its direction, pierced into the tree trunk.
The person is no longer there.
Gu Mu withdrew his sword, and the tree that Gu Mu had stabbed collapsed with a crash.
The white smoke in front of them gradually disappeared, and Lu Xiaoyao and the young man in green robes had vanished without a trace.
After escaping far away, Lu Xiaoyao picked a foxtail grass and put it in her mouth: "Master, I don't think you're that interesting anymore."
"Thank you for your compliment." It seemed that only when speaking to Lu Xiaoyao did the young man in the blue robe use a normal tone of voice.
Perhaps only Lu Xiaoyao knows what the real him is like.
He doesn't need to pretend.
"Master, I have a new target."
"The mountains are high and the roads are long, we'll meet again in the future."
Lu Xiaoyao stood up and patted his bottom.
"Your disciple will certainly avenge Master for being humiliated by the wealthy family!"
Lu Xiaoyao, with a heart full of righteous indignation, looked up and said earnestly.
