Chapter 367 – Fireplace
Xue Mu stayed overnight at the clan, and early the next morning, amidst the enthusiastic send-off from the amazons, he and Yue Xiaochan continued their journey north.
Yue Xiaochan swept away last night’s slightly melancholic mood, soaring with excitement as she pulled his hand and darted along the road, smiling like a flower.
The mood of a young girl, melancholy fast, soaring even faster, hand-tied ponytail along with the running jumped and jumped, jumping are youth.
Xue Mu always feel that should give her another backpack, wearing a sailor suit tennis skirt …… right, fourteen years old, should be a junior high school girls well.
May really have to admit that he has some lolicon tendency …… He really likes Yue Xiaochan this look, maybe it is the daily see the girls are too juvenile?
Look at the absolute color spectrum of the four fairies, Meng Lan, Mu Jian Li, Zhu Chen Yao, Xiao Qingwu, clear color eighteen-year-old girl, can show the form of the young girl should be really not much, are too many things hidden on the other side. Mu Jian Li is still quite often show, but look at her but to become a patriarch, I’m afraid that after that it is also difficult, to be like Xue Qingqiu, the sharp sword hanging on the mirror, rouge ragdolls sealed in the cupboard, into a solemn and majestic.
The relationship between the two along the way is also very strange, seems to be a couple, but ambiguous moves are rare, even kissing the face has not been, the favorite hand holding. Always let Xue Mu recall the most youthful time in the campus, quietly look at a glance can blush heartbeat of that kind. But they are clearly yet another old driver and a little demoness, talking about meat and vegetables, and then revealing words are not thought of.
For example, Yue Xiaochan would sometimes ask him who tasted the best after he had tasted so many women.
Of course, Xue Mu didn’t dare to positively answer this kind of question that said that everyone was wrong, but just stalled and said, “None of them are as good as the fifth girl’s taste.”
“Who is the fifth girl? Why don’t I know her?”
“There are many girls you don’t know.”
Yue Xiaochan pouted her lips, calculating in her mind to go back and line up the little demon girl beside him, which one is nicknamed the fifth girl. There was actually someone who secretly ate it behind everyone’s back, it was unforgivable.
“Isn’t it Lai Xiaorui, in your eight personal guards she is the fifth in age!”
“Pfft ……,” Xue Mu laughed so hard that he reached out and blindly rubbed her head, the doting look was obvious even to passersby.
Yue Xiaochan then stared at him with a messy head.
“Guest, this is your niece right, your uncle and nephew are really affectionate.” This was a casual laugh from the roadside shopkeeper after scalding hot wine.
The two of them glanced at each other, Xue Mu lost his smile, “Yes, my niece, is she pretty?”
“Like a fairy descending to earth, I think the absolute color spectrum is just like that.”
The two traveled all the way north, into October, into winter, and into the territory of Jianzhou. Obviously this place is not too far away from the Spirit State, but they already felt the obvious difference in customs and people. For example, drinking here will be hot before drinking, no matter martial artists and ordinary people are very accustomed to.
Roadside wine shops had small fireplaces with copper kettles burning on them, surrounded by pedestrians sitting in twos and threes, windswept.
Outside, on the empty lawns, and even on both sides of the avenue, there were grains of wheat and millet casually laid out in the sun, bearing witness to the fall harvest. In fact, Xue Mu knows that it is not grain or wheat, this world’s crops and his place is not the same at all, perhaps the name is also called grain, the actual is not a thing anymore, can be considered a spiritual species, three or four ripe a year, acres of yield or something to listen to is very flamboyant, and even brewing effect is very mysterious.
It might have something to do with the species and also the so-called heaven and earth aura.
“Little Brother Two, Jianzhou has a good harvest this year.”
“It’s average la, it even slightly dropped a little this year.”
Xue Mu and Yue Xiaochan glanced at each other, listening to Xiao Er’s tone, this should be a normal harvest, then the other aspects of the productions by analogy, should also be normal. But Sword State is obviously not poor, but Questioning Sword Sect is poor in a new realm, so it seems that Questioning Sword Sect’s dire situation has little to do with the local economy, and is entirely its own problem.
That said, the local livelihood, economic flow, are the court is doing, these martial arts sects hair will not, will only collect resources at all levels. According to the reasoning of all levels of affiliation is too huge, just collect on the rich, but for years and years of operation and management is not good, then, ultimately, is going to be a problem.
In fact, you go to the modern forum to ask, immortal fantasy high martial arts world sect how to develop ah, the following answer to 90% are spirit stone mine, collect subsidiary, hunting demonic beasts, modern thinking are only left this, really can not laugh at the question of the sword clan.
Ask the Sword Sect is just one of the most prominent, other sects more or less should also be a bit similar problems, but other sects economic operation and internal affairs at least someone is responsible for, even if the level of ordinary at least will not be like the Ask the Sword Sect so strange, Xue Mu suspect that the Ask the Sword Sect even accounts are chaotic, the warehouse in and out of the warehouse records are also chaotic, how much of their own things are not clear.
A roadside restaurant can not see too much, Xue Mu did not think too much for the time being, and Yue Xiaochan drinking hot wine, have a chat without a chat gossip. The gossip in the wine shop also reached the ears of the two of them, and they were quite able to reference some of the situation of the Questioning Sword Sect:
“This Sect’s Grand Ceremony is about to begin, all the sect members in the world are rushing back one after another, I should also return to the Sect immediately, and after the Grand Ceremony, I’ll come back to you.”
Xue Mu turned his head to look, but it was a teenager with tattered white clothes sitting in a corner drinking wine with a young girl, seemingly saying goodbye.
The young girl said, “You go back to the clan to dive into cultivation, martial arts is the top priority, don’t always run around blindly.”
The young man was quite touched: “You are really good to me.”
The young girl said, “You are a good person.”
“My qualifications are ordinary, I have been wasting my time in the outer sect, and so far I can’t see any hope of entering the inner sect, do you really don’t care?”
“I don’t care, qualifications don’t mean everything, as long as you have the perseverance, you will get ahead eventually. Not to mention that the qualification of being able to enter the outer door of the Questioning Sword is also stronger than the general direct lineage.”
The young man is almost choking: “I am in dire straits, even a hairpin can’t buy you, you don’t care …….”
“Don’t care ah, money is something outside the body, my generation of martial artists also do not attach importance to, you as a questioning the sword door, everyone looks at a glance, how can a hairpin for a sigh of relief.”
“My clan is also in dire straits nowadays, maybe we have to lay off the outer disciples …… If you are really laid off, you don’t care?”
“Do not care ah, a good man’s ambition in all directions, ask the sword clan does not keep people, own foothold.”
Yue Xiaochan over there tsked and sighed lowly: “Good girl ah …… This male does not look good, how to have such a blessing.”
But heard the teenager’s voice trembled: “This time back to the clan, I will rise up, do not look at others, never negative you a piece of mind.”
The young girl said, “It doesn’t matter who you look at ah, I don’t care ah ……”
“Wow ……” This time Xue Mu all marveled, “Where to find such a good girl ……”
Before the words fell, I heard the young girl say, “Anyway, I’m not marrying you, you this and that why in the world do I care ah?”
Xue Mu and Yue Xiaochan sprayed out a mouthful of wine in unison.
The teenager’s choking turned into real tears and ran away in tears.
However, they heard a drinker beside them couldn’t help but say about that young girl, “Girl, I see that young boy is also a sentient person, and is under the Questioning Sword Sect, even if he’s an outer disciple, he’s still a respectable position in the world, why are you so heartless?”
“He may not be able to survive even the abolition of the outer door, even if he survived, God knows there is no next time, even if he survived, his bride price can not be taken out of it is to rob? Ask the sword disciple jianghu status is high, can be eaten? Who love to honor who honor to go, auntie and grandma do not serve.”
The drinkers were silent.
Xue Mu and Yue Xiaochan were speechless.
The super clan that has been in the world for a thousand years, the disciples under the door to talk about a relationship is disliked by the female side, but you can’t refute it ……
Yue Xiaochan looked at the copper kettle on the fireplace and leisurely said, “I see that your family Jian Li sister, at the moment, is just like that copper kettle, it’s set up on the fireplace yo ……”
