C744 Invited into the Valley
Du Qi put his right hand on the hilt of the sword and stared at Young Master Huanxi coldly. He said with disdain, "Young master, are you not convinced that you lost the bet and want to use force? I will accompany you! "
His eyes that were staring at Du Qi seemed to be on fire. His handsome face twisted in pain. He squeezed out sweat from his face, and his body swayed a few times. He looked like he was about to attack, but in the end, he didn't. He still stood there without moving. His clothes were like a deflated balloon that was gently pulled down. His body suddenly became weak and listless. He held the two little green snakes lovingly. He kept muttering, but he didn't know what he was saying.
After a long time, Young Master Huanxi finally let out a sigh of relief. He carefully hung the two little green snakes in front of his chest. He raised his eyes and looked at Du Qi and Mei brothers. He wanted to say something but turned around without saying anything. He ordered, "Invite them to the Warm Wind Pavilion and treat them well. I will go and change my clothes and come!" As he spoke, Young Master Huanxi turned around and left, taking away the fourteen lamps.
Seven of the eight men in white followed closely behind Young Master Huanxi, while the other man in white stayed where he was. After Young Master Huanxi and the others went far away, he said respectfully, "Esteemed guests, please!" After saying that, the man didn't care what Du Qi and the Mei brothers thought or reaction was. He just turned around and led the way.
At this moment, Du Qi and the Mei brothers had no other choice but to follow behind the brawny man in white. Although there were only seven death lanterns scattered in front and behind, it was many times stronger than when they were walking in the dark.
In the dense forest filled with poisonous snakes, the scene in front of them changed drastically. There were no longer trees of various sizes on both sides, but giant rocks of all shapes and sizes. The barren land was barren and barren, and the exposed stone mud had a gloomy color. The bottom of the rocks was filled with holes. From time to time, a snake's head could be seen inside. Its forked tongue extended and contracted like lightning, and it stirred up a colorful mist. It made one's heart palpitate.
Although this part of the road was not long, their speed was not slow either. However, Du Qi and the Mei brothers felt as if they had walked for a long time and had walked a long distance. Unexpected annoyance welled up in their hearts, and they didn't want to walk any longer. At this moment, they had no other choice. They could only bear with it and continue moving forward.
Not only did Du Qi and the Mei brothers feel the same way, even the muscular man in white also felt the same way. Because at this moment, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had released the accumulated energy in his chest. Then, he said happily, "We're here!"
Du Qi and the Mei brothers looked around, but they did not discover the Warm Wind Pavilion that Young Master Huanxi had mentioned before he left. They only saw a towering wall blocking their way. Could this place be the Happy Valley?
The wall was built at the bottom of the valley between the two mountains. Although it was tall, it was not impressive. From the looks of it, if it wasn't for the master's permission, it would be very difficult for outsiders to enter. At this moment, the only door that was open was under the wall. Outside the door stood countless men in black who held torches in their hands or were angered to death by the wind lanterns. The man in white didn't even look at those men in black. He led Du Qi and the others and walked forward with his head held high, like a general returning victorious from a battle.
There was a wide open square in front of the door. It was surrounded by lush trees and flowers. On the opposite side was an even taller city wall. The road was divided by the foot of the wall.
When they arrived at the bottom of the wall, they discovered that the so-called city wall was only a short section. It turned out that it was actually a huge shadow wall. After bypassing the shadow wall, the road was as wide as a street. On both sides of the road, there were tall buildings and short houses. The pavilions and pavilions were arranged in an orderly fashion. From the looks of it, it looked like a big town. However, he did not see the shadows of the shops, nor did he see the bustling scene of a crowd. However, it was like a world of difference from the tall mountains outside the door.
The muscular man in white led Du Qi and the four men from the Mei brothers to the left, not far away. The road turned to the right. Not far away, there was a crossroad. What was surprising was that the buildings on both sides of the road were almost identical. If no one was leading the way, there was no telling where they were going. If they were to barge in recklessly, they would not know where they were. Sooner or later, they would be trapped in it, and it would be difficult for them to escape.
They continued to turn left at the first crossroad. Du Qi and the Mei brothers were secretly guessing where the Warm Wind Pavilion was located. How long would it take before they could arrive? Suddenly, the strong man in white, who had been silently walking forward, turned around and said respectfully, "Esteemed guests, this way, please!"
The strong man in white pointed to the tallest building nearby, which was located to their right. The main door was built on the twelfth step. Du Qi and Mei brothers looked up. They saw that the building was magnificent, with wide doors and tall windows. It seemed like there were six rows and five buildings divided into four floors. There were no signs on the doors and windows. He did not know if this place was the Warm Wind Pavilion.
The muscular man in white made a gesture to invite him in as he spoke. After a slight pause, he turned around and rushed to the door. Without hesitation, he pushed open the tightly shut door. Immediately, light spilled out from within.
Seeing that Du Qi and the Mei brothers had arrived, the strong man in white respectfully said, "Guests, please come in!"
Du Qi and the Mei brothers stepped into the door and saw that the room was very spacious and spacious. There were twenty-four huge torches burning all around, which also looked a little gloomy. It turned out that this room seemed to have twenty rooms from the outside, but in fact, there was only one main hall. A huge plaque was hung in the center of the inner wall facing the door, and on it were the three big words, "Warm Wind Pavilion," written in a flamboyant and flamboyant manner. At this moment, Du Qi and Mei brothers finally understood why this place was called a pavilion.
In the middle of the main hall, there were twelve oval chairs that were a few inches short. Du Qi recognized that this was Wu Chang's most famous furniture store - Longsheng Family's latest high-grade Nanmu Suit.
The burly man in white led Du Qi and the four people from the Mei brothers to the upper seats and sat down. He then said respectfully, "Guests, please take a seat. Our young master will be here soon. I'll be leaving first!" After saying that, the burly man in white actually left and disappeared without a trace.
Sitting in this spacious hall, the Mei brothers suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. They felt that they were getting smaller and smaller. In this boundless world, they were simply insignificant. The principles of the martial world, the grudges, the nobles, and the responsibility of their ideals were no longer important. Everything had become illusory. It seemed as if he'd transformed into a wisp of smoke that curled up into the air and dispersed along with the wind, and in the end, nothing was left behind. It was like a lit lamp had suddenly been extinguished, yet they clearly felt their existence. A question still lingered in their hearts when they felt their needs. Another problem suddenly appeared in their minds. The most difficult thing to let go of was... Why on earth did they live in this world, and whether or not they should?
