Chapter 37

"Senior Brother!"

When Li Qingruo saw his senior brother rushing over, he approached him while protecting Sheng Nanzhi and others behind him.

If she had been asked to kill someone in the past, it would have been impossible. However, when she nearly lost her life because of her soft-heartedness, when she swung the sword, the sword in her hand seemed to have turned into an indestructible blade, and Li Qingruo finally understood the true meaning of going down the mountain for training.

Qiu Muli's gaze fell on the leading swordsman in white. Both the sword in the swordsman's hand and the swordsman himself were very familiar to him.

Ji Xianyi of Taibai Sword Sect, Qiu Muli remembered that the last time they met was at the sword test competition. He saw that the other party easily repelled the enemy, and his swordsmanship was much more sophisticated than that day. It seemed that he and Jiutian had a good working relationship.

But since the pink-dressed woman called him "senior brother" and she was also holding a sword, why didn't he have any impression of her? Did she not participate?

Shen Yuqing: That’s a good question! Shuangbei must have been distracted.

Qiu Muli: You know it clearly.

Shen Yuqing: (pretending to be shy) I know myself.

It sounds like a joke, but it reveals the truth. Although Shuang Bei is gentle and polite in daily life, he is actually very difficult to approach. Most of the things he can focus on are things he cares about. Except for the beginning of the sword test competition, he probably only paid close attention when Ye Yunhao went to get the sword. For the rest of the time, who knows where his mind was wandering. Therefore, even if the woman in pink participated in the sword test competition, it is not impossible that he has no impression of it.

Yang Hong's gaze also fell on Ji Xianyi. He could see that the people who attacked the stronghold were led by the other party. Therefore, as long as the other party was defeated, the rest of the people would not have to be feared.

As he could sit on the position of the village chief, his martial arts skills were naturally the best among all the people in Shenlu Village. Yang Hong drew out the big knife beside him and attacked Ji Xianyi. He did this not only to test the opponent's strength, but also to calm his men's minds. The opponent's people were not many, but because it was a surprise attack, the people in Shenlu Village could not react for a while, so he had to take the initiative to attack.

The sword in Yang Hong's hand was very heavy, but his body movements were very light, which made his martial arts moves very strange.

It’s a big knife!

Qiu Muli, who was trembling with fear and sitting paralyzed in a chair, was a little disappointed. He thought the opponent's weapon would be the mace on the shelf over there.

Qiu Muli looked at the mace with a reluctant look. Although stereotypes are not good, the mace seems to be very suitable for a bandit.

Maybe it was because Qiu Muli was at the innermost part of the lobby, or maybe he was just lucky. In any case, these people kept fighting for a long time, and Qiu Muli couldn't help but yawn because of boredom. No one disturbed him, and there was no one within one meter around him. It seemed as if he was poisonous.

Of course, this kind of lucky mentality is not good. There is a magical saying, for example, when the teacher asks questions in class, when you think it doesn’t matter whether the teacher will ask you or not, the teacher will definitely not call on you. But when you think you are very lucky and the teacher has never asked you a question, the teacher will definitely ask you a question the next second.

Such a magical statement was soon reflected in Qiu Muli, who was watching the excitement.

"Don't come over here, or I'll kill her!" Yang Hong shouted.

His left arm was bleeding, and it was obvious that he was no match for Ji Xianyi. Seeing his men suffering heavy casualties, he knew that continuing to get involved would only be more disadvantageous to himself. Therefore, after seeing those people protecting the abducted woman, he set his sights on Qiu Muli.

Just as he guessed, after Qiu Mu left, those people stopped coming closer, which gave Yang Hong a chance to catch his breath.

Ji Xianyi made a gesture to stop the others from approaching Yang Hong. Although his main purpose this time was to rescue Sheng Nanzhi, he could not allow other innocent people to be harmed.

The master personally led the team to the sword-testing contest that day. After fighting with the Wuji Kung fu practitioners, Ji Xianyi finally realized where he was lacking. In a sense, even though he had learned swordplay for so many years, the sword in his hand had never been truly sharpened. So after that day, he took the initiative to ask to go down the mountain for training. Although the master readily agreed, the condition was that he had to bring his junior sister with him.

Feeling the big knife across his neck, Qiu Muli frowned slightly. Although he used the art of disguise to cover up his Adam's apple, he was still worried that the other party's reckless action would expose his flaws.

Although Qiu Muli is not a perfectionist, he will not allow anything to ruin the game if he hasn't had enough fun.

"pain...."

Qiu Muli let out a soft cry, and he tilted his head slightly to look at Yang Hong. The red rouge at the corners of his eyes made him look as if he had been crying.

This action made Yang Hong's breathing stagnate, and he subconsciously moved the knife edge away.

This short one second of distraction was enough for someone to kill him thousands of times. A figure emerged from Qiu Muli's sleeves and directly wrapped around Yang Hong's neck.

Yang Hong was startled by this sudden thing. He took a step back and used one hand to pull the thing on his neck. However, after a few seconds, his breathing became rapid and his face turned pale. His other hand could no longer hold the knife in his hand, and he fell backwards.

The others were also frightened by this scene. Looking at the little green snake on Yang Hong's neck, a chill rose in everyone's heart.

Qiu Muli bent slightly and stretched out his hand. The green snake climbed up along his fingers and gently coiled around his wrist.

The crowd then came to their senses as if waking up from a dream. The leader was dead. The rest of the people fled in all directions, but were soon captured again.

The people present looked at Qiu Muli with completely gone eyes. The fascination and admiration just now were replaced by fear and jealousy.

"I am Ji Xianyi from the Taibai Sword Sect. I was entrusted by someone to come here to suppress the bandits. I wonder who you are, young lady?"

When everyone saw Ji Xianyi step forward to talk to the woman, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but they also admired his courage. In any case, they didn't dare to step forward for fear that the green snake would bite them.

It turns out that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

"Saw injustice and stood up for justice. Do you think this is a good reason, Mr. Ji?" Qiu Muli said with a blink.

"Girl, you..." Ji Xianyi found it difficult to judge the truthfulness of what the other party said.

"Master Ji, just call me A-Li. I have to thank Master Ji. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have to be so hypocritical with him."

The words sounded like thanks, but also had a bit of a weird tone. Looking at that charming face, Ji Xian's eyes dimmed slightly, "Miss A-li, please lift me up. With just the green snake, these thieves will not pose any threat to you."

Qiu Muli chuckled when he heard this. He no longer paid attention to the other party and walked straight to the door. After smelling the overly strong scent of rouge, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the other party.

Li Qingruo's face turned red instantly. Even though she was a woman, she couldn't help but blush when she found the other person's eyes on her.

Qiu Muli was somewhat interested in this scene. He smiled and said, "The rouge on the girl has a unique smell."

Li Qingruo immediately realized what the other party was talking about. The rouge on her body was mixed with a kind of spice, and this fragrance would attract a kind of butterfly. Ji Xian and a few others found the specific location of Shenlu Village by following the movements of the butterflies.

"If you like it, I have some more here." Li Qingruo said as she took out a small wooden box less than two fingers wide from her waist.

"Thank you."

Qiu Muli didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic. He glanced at Li Qingruo, then took the rouge with a smile.

Li Qingruo saw Qiu Muli also smile after taking the rouge. She had a typical sweet girl face, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes when she smiled, which easily infected the people around her.

In the previous battle, countless people in the mountain stronghold were killed or injured. Now that the enemy leader has surrendered to the law and the rest of the people have lost their resistance, they decided to send these people to the government.

A few people walked out of the hall and saw that Qiu Muli had not come down the mountain. Li Qingruo discussed with Ji Xian and others and asked, "Sister A Li, do you want to go with us? This place is quite far from the town. We have a carriage waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."

"Okay, but please wait for me, I need to get the piano."

"Oh, okay, we'll wait for you here."

Li Qingruo didn't expect the other party to agree so readily. Although they were kind-hearted and there would be no harm in the other party agreeing, when she looked into Sister Ali's eyes, she actually felt that they were getting the upper hand by agreeing.

Seeing that the other party had no bad intentions, Qiu Muli restrained his charm technique. However, he did not expect that this charm technique would have such an effect on Li Qingruo. It seemed that the other party had never experienced any training in resistance to charm techniques.

Li Qingruo: Hey, beautiful sister, you are so pretty!

The head of Taibai Sword Sect: I never thought that the female disciples in our sect would be seduced by a "girl" one day.

Ji Xianyi looked at his junior sister who was looking at Qiu Muli's figure as if she was a woman waiting for her husband. Qiu Muli's charm came from the inside out and was not deliberate, so he did not stop her too much. As for his junior sister, he grew up with her since childhood, so he naturally knew that she was a beauty-seeker. Thinking of this, he sighed slightly in his heart.

Qiu Muli changed back into his previous red clothes. He carried a guqin on his back, and the only ornament left on his head was a butterfly hairpin.

There were about eight people who went up the mountain with Ji Xian. They were not dressed in the same clothes, and it seemed that they were a temporary team. At this time, they were sorting out the stolen goods from Shenlu Village. After all the loot was packed into boxes, Qiu Muli went down the mountain with everyone. However, no one dared to approach Qiu Muli because they seemed to be afraid of the green snake.

The closest county to Shenlu Village is Fenghe County. After Ji Xianyi and his companions sent the bandits, stolen goods and rescued women from Shenlu Village to the county government, County Magistrate Xu never stopped smiling and almost held Ji Xianyi's watch to express his gratitude.

Shenlu Village has always been a headache for County Magistrate Xu. He is already over fifty years old and has long lost the desire for promotion. He just hopes that the place where he was born can become more peaceful and prosperous. Therefore, he once led a team to suppress the bandits himself. However, the terrain of Shenlu Mountain is steep and he was left behind by the enemy before he could chase them far. Suppressing the bandits was a waste of money and effort. After several failures, he had to find another way.

But he didn't expect that on just an ordinary day, the biggest worry in his heart was actually solved. Although it did feel unreal, looking at the many parents who came to the county government to recognize their relatives, County Magistrate Xu felt extremely relieved.
