When Qu Rong saw Yang Muyun's changing expression, he knew that Yang Muyun must have misunderstood something in the beginning.

He lowered his left hand, quietly looked at Yang Muyun and didn't continue speaking.

Logically speaking, Yang Muyun should've fought with Yang Muyun's sword all the way from the outer sect, not to mention taking revenge for his brothers, but also for his reputation in Shattered Leaf City. He should've fought with Yang Muyun with swords, and even if there was a single word, they would've fought with each other to the point of life and death.

However, from the moment Yang Muyun had arrived at the Martial Arts Practice Hall, he had been in a friendly mood and didn't look like he was about to start a war.

Before this, everyone thought that their leader was afraid of Yang Muyun's strength. After all, the youth that was able to kill them to the very end was someone they couldn't fight against.

However, after hearing the conversation between Yang Muyun and Qu Rong, their views changed as they understood that their young miss, Cui Dolly, had been saved by Yang Muyun. They believed that this was also the reason why Qu Rong didn't make a move.

Cui Cui was Cui Rong's daughter. Saving Cui Cui was equivalent to saving Cui Rong's life. If he saved Cui Cui, he would repay the debt of gratitude.

In the martial world, people paid particular attention to the principle of returning a favor with a drop of water. Therefore, they believed that this was Cui Banyan's way of thinking.

However, these were only guesses by the people of Three Boats and Eighteen Docks. What they didn't know was that Qu Rong's guess was slightly different from their guess.

What Cui Lan was thinking was not only about repaying the favor, but also about repaying the gratitude. However, she was not in a rush. The most important thing was the young man in front of her.

This young man seemed to be in his weakest years, but his zhenqi was domineering and he had unparalleled strength. He was decisive in his killing, and he had an unblinking killing intent; he was calm and experienced, and he was calm like Mt. Tai.

For a young hero like this to kill his way into the Eighteenth Dock of the Three Boats for his daughter, their relationship was definitely extraordinary. While it was naturally impossible for emotions to arise, it could still prove that their relationship was very deep.

For such a talented youth, his potential was limitless. Therefore, Qu Rong thought that there was no possibility. Through his daughter, he would be able to leave this young man in front of him at the Eighteenth Dock.

If this matter were to succeed, then the high-end combat strength of their Three Ships Eighteen Docks would be even more robust. There would also be people capable of inheriting their future generations.

Just now, he had observed that this young man's true energy was not weaker than his, and his strength was definitely not weaker than his.

However, if they could not get him to join them, they must not offend him, because to be able to cultivate such an outstanding youth, he must be either a descendant from a noble clan or a disciple from a large sect.

Judging from his temper, he was naturally one of those people who would fight to the death if they didn't agree. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to fight his way in and out of here.

At this moment, Qu Rong was deep in thought, contemplating the gains and losses. He was thinking of how he could use the smallest price to exchange for the greatest possible benefits.

He didn't look like the leader of a gang traversing the martial arts world, but more like a cunning businessman.

"I'm being rude." Yang Muyun cupped his fist and slightly lowered his head, apologizing to Cui Bong.

"The ignorant are innocent." Cui Bong waved her hand. It was obvious that he accepted Yang Muyun's apology.

Yang Muyun sheathed his sword, but he didn't finish it. He left behind an inch of sword that wasn't sheathed yet.

"However, don't blame me for not getting enough."

Yang Muyun did not know how to address Cui Bong, so he simply used a respectful title.

He said in a deep voice, "Cui Cui, today. I must take him away."

"No rush, we'll talk about it later." Cui Rong's facial expression changed, as she smiled and said, "I wonder what sect Young Hero is from?"

He definitely had to ask about this first, because if Cui Banyan wanted to recruit Yang Muyun, it would be fine. However, if he wanted to recruit someone else, it would be taboo in the martial arts world.

Yang Muyun was startled and said, "Master taught me, not a sect."

What Yang Muyun said was also the truth. All of his martial arts were taught to him by Lin Yao. Even though Lin Yao had once belonged to the Xun Ji Sect, he had never entered the sect, so he had no sect.

And after Lin Yao had disappeared, he had been even more carefree, having nothing to do with the strength of any martial arts world.

When Qu Rong heard this, he was overjoyed. Normally, in Yang Muyun's situation, his master wouldn't stop him from joining any faction in the martial arts world, so it was easier for him to recruit him.

If he let Qu Rong know that the person he wanted to recruit regarded him as an enemy and wished he could hack him into a thousand pieces, he wondered if he would be this happy.

Cui Bong's interest was piqued. "Then is Young Hero interested in joining …"

Before Cui Rong could finish speaking, a panicked voice interrupted him.

"Ha …" Ha … Head! "

A thin and frail looking man ran over from behind Qu Rong's back, panting heavily as he spoke.

"What's wrong?" Before Cui Rong could finish her words, she was interrupted by someone. Naturally, she was unhappy and frowned as she asked this.

"Miss … Miss, you insist on running out, we really can't stop you! " The thin man said.

Just as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure ran out from behind Cui Bong.

The little girl's bright eyes were like a pool of sparkling spring water, brimming with an intelligent glow. Her face was soft, with thin red lips, making her look gentle and charming. At such a young age, she was petite and her black hair was tied behind her head into a ball. Combined with her jade carving-like appearance, she looked extremely adorable.

Of the three boats and eighteen docks, who else could it be? Naturally, it was only Cui Cui.

Cui Cui ran out of the room at the rear of the Martial Arts Practice Hall and rushed to the center of the hall. She suddenly stopped when she saw so many people in front of her, all of them looking ferocious.

Cui Cui paused for a moment before her gaze stopped at Yang Muyun, who was standing on the stage. Then, she suddenly smiled knowingly and immediately ran towards Yang Muyun.

"Big brother!" Cui Cui rushed in front of Yang Muyun and hugged him, "This place is so scary, I want to go home."

At this moment, when they saw this scene, both Cui Bong and Yang Muyun were clearly stunned for a moment. Yang Muyun then completely retracted his sword and picked up Cui Cui, laughing loudly, "Good, let's go home!"

With that said, Yang Muyun turned around, ignored the fact that the Martial Exhibition Hall was surrounded by so many people, and directly left.

The crowd surrounding the third boat's 18th dock all had uneasy looks on their faces. They watched as Yang Muyun left, not knowing how to stop him, not knowing how to block him, causing them to panic.

"Wait!" Cui Banyan stood on the stage and shouted, "Where do you want to take my daughter!"

Only now did Cui Rong manage to react. He looked at Yang Muyun's back, as if he was a little angry.

"I've already told you, bring Cui Cui home!" Yang Muyun didn't turn around and continued to walk towards the exit.

"This is her home!" Cui Banyan shouted.

"Uncle." Cui Cui, who was in Yang Muyun's embrace, turned around and glanced at Cui Bong, "Who are you?"

What? As if shocked, Cui Bong was thunderstruck. "Oh my daughter, you …" What's the matter with you? "

Yang Muyun turned his head around and was clearly shocked as well. What happened to Cui Cui? How could he not even recognize his own father?
