The night passed in silence. As soon as dawn arrived, Xun Feng was dragged out to the streets after a hasty breakfast under Yun Dan's urging.
"Big brother, this bracelet looks pretty good. Shall we buy it?"
At this moment, Xun Feng and Yun Dan stopped in front of a stall selling accessories. Yun Dan played with a dark green bracelet in her hand and looked at Xun Feng, who was beside her, with a smile.
"If Yun Dan likes it, then buy it." Xun Feng didn't even look at the bracelet, he just looked at how Yun Dan liked it.
"Gongzi, xiaojie, this is a high-quality jade bracelet. Other than me, I don't sell it anywhere else!" The hawker looked at the siblings. He had already determined that the rich families would want a good price for them. He had already prepared a bunch of excuses, but just as he was about to say something, he felt something flying towards him.
"That should be enough, stop bullshitting."
A loud and clear voice came from behind Xun Feng. Xun Feng turned around and saw that the one who spoke was an eighteen or nineteen year old youth in a black robe. He had a three feet long blade in his hand, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
"Why would I need you to pay for my bracelet?" Yun Dan glanced at the young man, put the bracelet back on the stall, and pulled Xun Feng away. Big brother, let's go. I don't want that bracelet. "
"You two, I am called Morley. I just want to make friends with you two." Morley picked up the bracelet that Yun Dan put back, clasping his hands towards Xun Feng, "I can see that you two are from wealthy families, so you definitely do not lack these things. Consider this little bracelet as a present."
"Giving something to someone the first time we meet, and even said that you have no ill intentions. Who would believe you?" Yun Dan pulled Xun Feng away, but Xun Feng didn't say anything. He just looked at Yun Dan and then at the teenager called Morley.
"I am the Canghai Sword Sect, the disciple of the Flowing Song Sect's Sect Leader. I really have no ill intentions, I hope that the Lady can believe me." Morley was getting a bit anxious and hurriedly followed him. He thought to himself: "If I bring out my master, I should be able to convince people." I believe you two have also heard of the Sect Leader Liu Ge from Canghai Sword Sect. My master is a famous righteous hero in the martial arts world.
"You said you're Liu Ge's disciple, so you are?" Yun Dan was still unwilling to believe it.
Morley looked at Yun Dan helplessly. He didn't expect to be mistaken for an evil person by giving her a bracelet. He had to prove that he wasn't an evil person. He then asked, "How can you believe what I said?"
"How about this, since Big Brother and I are going to the Canghai Sword Sect, just be our bodyguard and come with us to see your master Liu Ge." Seeing Morley's helpless look, Yun Dan thought it was pretty fun, so she came up with this idea. How about it? Seeing your master will prove whether your words are true or false. "
"Okay, I'm going back too. It's the whole way back." Morley nodded, but his heart was filled with helplessness.
Xun Feng never said a word. Watching Liu Ge's disciple become his coachman, he only patted Yun Dan's forehead and sighed. Of course, he agreed with Yun Dan's actions. One more person shouldn't be a bad thing.
"From today onwards, you will be our bodyguard, so you have to listen to our orders along the way." Yun Dan smiled at Morley as if she had succeeded in her trick. She pointed at Morley and said, "This is my brother, Xun Feng. I am Yun Dan. From now on, you can just call us' gongzi, Miss'."
Morley didn't know the other party's name until he became his guard. He couldn't help but feel a bit sad for himself.
"Morley, how long have you been a disciple for?" Xun Feng looked at Morley, talking to him for the first time. Looking at your imposing manner, you must have been studying martial arts for a long time, right? "
"It's been almost ten years, and I usually train hard on the mountain. The reason I came down this time is to send an invitation for Master to go to the imperial capital to deliver it to Young Master Ziyang." Morley answered in detail, sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I failed Master, I couldn't find Young Master Ziyang."
"Then you really are stupid, you can't even send an invitation card." Yun Dan only glanced at Morley before looking at Xun Feng. Without waiting for Morley to speak again, she said to Xun Feng, "Brother, where are we going now? Should we go to the Liulan Mountain immediately, or continue to play in it?"
"What does Yun Dan think?" Xun Feng saw that Morley didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said to Yun Dan: "However, Tai City is famous for its scenery of the Prominent Monarch Lake, should we go and take a look?"
"Alright, if there's a good place to go, then of course I'll go!" Yun Dan didn't say anything else and just pulled Xun Feng away. Then, she waved at Morley, who didn't have the time to react. Guard, follow me quickly or I won't need you anymore. "
Of course, this was only a legend, but if one stood at the peak of the mountain to the west of Tai City, looking at the surface of the lake would seem like a woman looking up at the moon, which was also one of the reasons that was famous in the Lake of Monarch. Nowadays, at the edge of the Monarch's Lake, it was a place where scholars gathered, where all forms of life intersected.
"Big brother." Yun Dan pointed at the group of people in front of them and angrily said to Xun Feng, "Those seven or eight people were surrounding a young girl in a circle. It's obvious that they are trying to take advantage of a good girl!"
"Morley, it's time for your performance." Xun Feng looked at Yun Dan, who was getting ready to charge forward, and pointed at the evil young master. "Let Morley go. You little girl and I will just stay here and watch."
At this moment, Yun Dan also stood beside Xun Feng obediently and ordered Morley, "Right, we want to see how powerful the guards are. Go and beat those people down before coming back."
Morley only looked at the siblings and shook his head helplessly. He walked towards that evil young master reluctantly. When Morley walked in front of that evil young master, he didn't even say anything and just punched him in the chest. Morley walked in front of that evil young master and didn't even say anything.
Morley Li ignored him and kicked the servants around. He looked at the few people on the ground and said, "Who cares who you are, you can only blame your bad luck on me seeing you using your power to pressure people and flirt with girls."
"My father is the Lord Mayor of this city. I want to capture you and send you into the army." Young Master Xie finally stood up and pointed at Morley. He brought his men and was about to leave in a sorry state. At the same time, he said hatefully, "Just wait to go to Fringe City."
"Lady, you can leave now." Morley said to the woman, who was still in shock after being flirted with just a moment ago.
"Thank you for helping me, young lady! Thank you young noble!" The little girl finally reacted when she heard Morley talking to her. She looked at Morley gratefully. However, he had given the young master trouble. The young master should leave as well! Otherwise, that bad guy would have come back to look for Young Master. "
Morley did not mind at all as he looked towards the direction that the evildoer left. Miss, let's go. I have my own ways of dealing with them when they come. "
The woman also saw that Morley had the ability to deal with it on his own, so she just saluted Morley and left.
At this moment, the siblings who were standing in the distance had smiles on their faces that were difficult to understand. Brother, why don't we discuss it with Liu Ge and have him follow us? "
"Then Yun Dan, go and talk to Liuge. I won't ask for people from that stingy Liuge." Xun Feng looked at Morley, who was walking towards them.
"Gongzi, xiaojie, the matter is settled." "Yes." Morley returned to Xun Feng. Can we keep going? "
"Morley, I'm very curious. Why did you send Yun Dan something when we first met?" Xun Feng led Yun Dan and walked forward. At the same time, he turned his head around to look at Morley with a smile.
"That's right, and why did you listen to me and my brother just now and let you beat them? You didn't even say anything before you went away!" Yun Dan also raised her doubts with Morley and then turned around to leave with Xun Feng. She didn't seem to care whether Morley answered or not.
"It's the first time I've seen someone like young master and miss, but due to the mortal world, it's different from everyone else. As for what's different, I don't know, and young master has to go to the Liulan Mountain, so I want to travel with young master and miss. Maybe on the way, I'll be able to find out where young master and miss came from." Morley followed behind Xun Feng and Yun Dan. He looked at the back of the siblings and said, "Simply put, they were all mesmerized by Young Master's charm."
"You're willing to be our coachman just to satisfy your own curiosity?" Xun Feng turned around, but his eyes seemed to have seen through everything as he looked at Morley. This gaze made Morley feel as if everything about him had been seen through. He couldn't help but be stunned.
"I am willing, it is my honor to be able to travel with people like you." Morley was shocked by that look. What kind of person could have such a look? And what kind of person was the person who had that look? Xun Feng was more worth dating in Morley's heart.
"I am very satisfied with your answer. From now on, you are my brother and I." Yun Dan looked at Morley with interest and said to Xun Feng, "Brother, let's accept him, okay?"
"Hmm, alright, as long as Yun Dan likes it!" Xun Feng nodded at Yun Dan, then said to Wu Tie, "Once you reach the Liulan Mountain, you can decide whether or not you still want to follow us. On the road from Tai City to Liulan Mountain, you must listen to our orders."
Morley nodded in agreement, but Yun Dan snickered on the side: When we reach Liulan Mountain, we'll have to listen to your Master Liu Ge, then you'll have to continue to be our guard. Yun Dan was still secretly pleased with herself for tricking a guard.
After that, the three of them played around by the lakeside for an entire day and didn't find trouble with Morley even after they had left the village. Yun Dan had had her fill of fun, but Xun Feng was so tired that he almost collapsed. Looking at Yun Dan's happy expression, Xun Feng also had a smile on his face. Of course, this was not his usual signature smile, but a smile that only he and Yun Dan would have.
When Yun Dan got tired of playing, the three of them returned to the Shadow Tavern. After dinner, Morley went to rest. Yun Dan went to Xun Feng's room and saw him playing with a two-inch wooden sabre. Brother, what's that in your hand? Very delicate, let me see. "
"This is a gift from Ling Tao. It's a toy carved by him." Xun Feng handed the knife to Yun Dan and patted her head. "Speaking of which, Yun Dan hasn't even given me anything yet, right?"
"What is it? I gave it to him, but he forgot. " When Yun Dan heard Xun Feng say that, she pouted her lips and looked even more cute. Then she took out a jade fan from Xun Feng's bag and put it in Xun Feng's hand. Look, this is for big brother. I even drew the pictures on it! "
"Haha, it's because of your bad memory." Xun Feng held the jade fan and opened it to take a look. Then, he looked at Yun Dan's angry expression and said, "In the future, I will have it in my hands. I won't forget that Yun Dan gave it to me."
"En, you must keep it in your hand. You are not allowed to put it back into the bag!" A trace of a smile appeared on Yun Dan's face, but there was still anger in her tone. "Otherwise, I'll ignore brother from now on."
"Alright, alright, I'll definitely do what I promised you." Xun Feng looked at Yun Dan with a smile as if he was coaxing a child. Tomorrow, we will leave the Tai City. Once we leave the Tai City, we will soon reach the Universal Country, so there might be bandits blocking our way at the borders of the two countries. "
When Yun Dan heard there was a bandit, her eyes suddenly lit up. She wasn't afraid, but was pleasantly surprised, as if she had discovered something very interesting. Since there's a bandit, that must be fun. Then I'll go to bed now, hehe. "
Looking at Yun Dan's excited face as she left, Xun Feng could only helplessly shake his head. Did this little girl think that robbers were child's play?
