C240 On a Rainy Day

"Why?" Duan Tianya could not understand his answer.

Liao Qingshu replied, "Everyone in the world knows about my relationship with Master. If I ignore it, even if I were to stay alive, I would still be pointed at by thousands of people and be scolded by thousands of people. Instead of that, I might as well die. "

Duan Tianya looked at him in astonishment. He had nothing to say. What he said was right. Loyalty in the martial world was the foundation of everyone's life. If they abandoned them, even if they were alive, it would be better to die than live.

Those who couldn't be killed by swords and sabers might die in the gossip.

Liao Qingshu and the others still left. They did not care about the mud on the road. They stepped into the quagmire without hesitation. Duan Tianya looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Qianshan also sighed. "This might be the Jianghu. "

Duan Tianya smiled bitterly to himself. Pugilistic World? What was the Pugilistic World? Many people had been in Jianghu for their entire lives, but they didn't know what Jianghu was.

The Pugilistic World was perhaps a path that everyone had to walk on. As long as one stepped on this path, it meant that there was no turning back. However, many people still turned back. Some succeeded, while some failed.

The pugilistic world might be a cup of wine, a cup of bitter wine, or a cup of poisonous wine? Although it was called bitter wine, many people tasted the sweet taste. They called it poisonous wine, but many people scrambled to drink it.

It seemed that the martial world was just an illusion, and the people who were truly swimming in it were only humans.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the secret chamber. Xiao Chen staggered out from the secret chamber. Duan Tianya looked at him and said, "It seems that our Hero Xiao can't bear the loneliness. "

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I can only come out after they have left. "

Duan Tianya was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

Xiao Chen said, "I took ten thousand taels of gold from Golden Snake Hall, but I did not fulfill what I should have done. "

Duan Tianya said, "You almost lost your life because of this. This is enough. "

Xiao Chen said, "But what they wanted wasn't me getting injured and losing my life. What they wanted was to kill Yang Yunjing. "

Duan Tianya said, "We all know that you can't kill Yang Yunjing. He won't be so easy to deal with. "

Xiao Chen covered his wound. His footsteps were very heavy. After suffering such a serious injury, it was already very difficult for him to walk while standing.

He came to the table and wanted to pour a glass of water, but he could not use any strength in his hands. Xiao Chen smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that being injured is not a pleasant thing. "

Duan Tianya poured a glass of water for him and handed it to him. He said, "It is better than losing your life. "

Not long after, it rained outside again. Xiao Chen looked into the distance and asked, "When did you see through my and my father's identities?"

Duan Tianya replied with a smile, "Because I know that one sword strike could take Xiao Qianshan's life. "

Xiao Chen said, "But you have never seen my father. "

Duan Tianya said, "Don't forget, in the martial arts world, other than your father and son, only I know that he has six fingers on his left hand. "

Xiao Chen smiled. "In the boundless universe, it is not surprising for someone to have six fingers. "

"But as a shopkeeper, he doesn't care about the Alliance Master's Meeting in the Half-moon Manor. Don't you think it's abnormal?"

Xiao Chen said, "This is the difference between a businessman and a person from the pugilistic world. "

Duan Tianya retorted. "Businessmen also have curiosity, but he doesn't even have curiosity. "

Xiao Chen coughed a few times, then let out a long sigh and said, "I really don't understand. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Actually, I also don't understand why I think he is Xiao Qianshan. " Then he said, "But even if I can't figure it out, Senior Xiao never asked me. " Then, his gaze stopped on Xiao Qianshan.

At this moment, Xiao Qianshan smiled faintly and said, "I've seen your skills, so I'm not surprised that you can see through my identity. "

Xiao Chen was puzzled. "Father knows who he is?"

Xiao Qianshan's face darkened, and he said with a solemn expression. "If my guess is correct, you must be related to Ghost Sword, Hu Liang. "

Upon hearing the words' Ghost Sword, Hu Liang ', Xiao Chen was shocked. He turned around and asked Duan Tianya, "Is what my father said true?"

Duan Tianya glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Senior Xiao really has a sharp eye. "

Xiao Chen was puzzled. "I have not heard of anything shocking that you have done in the past few years. "

Duan Tianya smiled bitterly and said, "It does not mean that Ghost Sword, Hu Liang's disciple must do something shocking. "

The heavy rain was still pouring, and the vast ocean was surrounded by strong winds. The trees were swaying in the wind. The tall grass was shaking violently. A few lightning bolts fell from the sky. It was so shocking that a few thunderclaps were heard.

Duan Tianya looked into the distance. As the night fell, apart from the bright lights in the inn, nothing could be seen outside. He could only hear the sound of rain falling on the roof and the ground.

A soft sigh seemed to be able to ease the worry in his heart, but the melancholy in his heart did not decrease at all.

Duan Tianya kept looking into the distance. The father and son of the Xiao family looked at each other and sat down. Hua Lingyan stood in the corner of the building, while Xue Kang wiped the iron sword in his hand. The five people in the room did not do anything, only occasionally letting out a few dry coughs from Xiao Chen.

His injuries were very serious. Fortunately, Xiao Qianshan had good medicine for the Golden Sore Medicine. His injuries should be able to recover very quickly.

It rained for three days like this. It was clear after the rain. Duan Tianya looked at the muddy sea in front of him. He couldn't help but look back at Xue Kang. Hua Lingyan went up and said, "It takes a lot of effort to walk on this kind of road. Why don't we stay here for a few days and wait until the road is clear and we can lead the horses out of the stables. It won't be too late to continue our journey. "

What she said was right. Even riding a horse on such a road was difficult. There was no good way, so they could only stay here for a little longer.

Finally, the road dried up. Duan Tianya and the others mounted their horses. Xiao Qianshan asked, "Where are you going?"

Duan Tianya said, "I'm going to find someone. "

"Find someone? Is it that young man called Liao Qingshu?"

Duan Tianya nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xiao Qianshan smiled and said, "Do you know where to find him?"

Duan Tianya shook his head. He really could not answer this question, because he really did not know where Liao Qingshu was.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qianshan said with a smile, "You can go to Qingning Temple and take a look. "

"Oh?" Duan Tianya was obviously surprised. He asked in confusion, "Why do you want to go to Qingning Temple?"

Xiao Qianshan replied with a smile, "Qingning Temple was originally the place where Fiend Monk became a monk. The abbot there was Fiend Monk's senior brother. The Golden Snake Hall had already been occupied by someone, and that Wei Zan was from Mobei. Only Qingning Temple was a place where they could settle down. Furthermore, there are very few people who know about the relationship between the Qingning Temple and Fiend Monk. "

Duan Tianya's tightly knitted brows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile. "It seems like Xiao Qianshan, who has not been in the Jianghu for a long time, is also a well-informed person. "
