Actually, to Jing Ke, no matter who this old friend was, he would ignite this heart of his that had been dormant for three years. During these three years of isolation, all he could think about was training diligently and getting revenge early. Now that he met Du Sanniang, he was overjoyed. Adding to that the fact that Du Sanniang repeatedly emphasized this old friend of his, it aroused every nerve in him.

Arriving at the back of San Yu Residence, Jing Ke was at a loss when he saw that there wasn't a single person in sight while looking at the red maple leaf that was strewn all over the mountain. As he flew away, the autumn wind brushed past his ears and cheeks, but he did not notice it. As he flew, he carefully observed every inch of the mountain, afraid that he would miss any minute of meeting with his old friend. After flying for a few miles on foot, a green light suddenly appeared in the cove and flashed past his eyes. Jing Ke immediately realized that this might be the Jade Water Ripple Pool that Du Sanniang mentioned. Thus, he took a big stride towards that Jade Water Ripple Pool.

The Jade Water Ripple Pool was indeed a clear blue mountain. It was like a piece of emerald jade between the multi-colored cliffs. The ripples under the bright sunlight were suffused with golden light, making the entire valley look like a paradise on earth. Jing Ke looked at the beautiful scenery of the endless mountain and water, he seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but right now he didn't have the mood to appreciate it, he just scanned every inch of the place, trying to find any traces of his old friends.

However, when he searched every nook and cranny of this place, he couldn't find even the slightest trace of a person. He suddenly felt a sense of loss. Could it be that the old friend had already left when he didn't come? Or was this not the place he was looking for? Doubt and doubt filled Jing Ke's heart. Ever since he stepped into the martial arts world, he had never felt this worried or so, but he couldn't find the answer he was looking for.

After searching every nook and cranny of this place, Jing Ke still hadn't found anything. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and regret. He originally thought that he had no other choice but to give up. However, the moment he turned around, he was immediately stunned by the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him. Wearing a green lustrous skirt and a head full of purple muslin, not a single piece did not accentuate this person's wit and intelligence. Of course Jing Ke recognized this old friend of his, but his words were full of surprise and joy, excitement and nervousness. Even he himself couldn't tell which feeling was the most appropriate one to describe at this time. Thus, he could silently stare at her, as if he was staring at a pestle. On the other side, she didn't say a single word, only silently watching Jing Ke with her eyes. She seemed to have a thousand words to say, but she could only transmit her gaze.

After a long time, Jing Ke finally started to regain some clarity, but his first sentence was so hard to say: "A male loss ?" "Lady." Indeed, the current him really didn't know what to call this Gong Huorong in front of him.

"Ding ?" Young Master. " Upon seeing Jing Ke's appellation, Gong Huorong felt somewhat unfamiliar, so she could only return the greeting with courtesy.

"I didn't expect it to be ?" You, I thought it was ? " Jing Ke really couldn't find a suitable topic to talk about to deal with this Gong LuoRong, so he just stammered out half a sentence.

"Would Childe Jing think of it as your master? Or was he a senior brother? Or was there someone else? Could it be that even such a clever and meticulous person like Sir Jing couldn't see that the arrangement of this place is similar to that of the grave mechanism? " Indeed, according to Jing Ke's extremely deep insight, with the revelation from Du Sanniang just now and the arrangement of the Jadewater Ripple Pool in front of him, he should have already guessed that this so-called old friend was without a doubt, just that he was not willing to admit it.

"Miss Gongsheng is too serious, Jing Ke is a junior who failed in his attempts, how could it be as magical as you say? She was just flattered by her Master and her fellow disciples."

"Heh heh, I never thought that Jing Wuya, who was unrestrained and unrestrained back then, would now act as if he had become a different son of the Mo family. He would also speak with such crudeness and courtesy."

You're kidding me, Miss Gong Lun. How could a rogue like me from the martial arts world be able to take on such a big responsibility from the Mo family? It was just that I was at the top of my guard and had to issue it." When Jing Ke saw that Gong Zhuang Rong seemed a lot more natural, he also began to relax, and immediately remembered his important mission of entering Yan Ji City, he then said to Gong Zhuang Rong, "I don't think this place is a place to talk, moreover, San Niang and my Senior Brother Di Kun have already lived here for a long time, so why don't we move together, and then we can discuss further, what do you think?

"Since son Ke has already given the order, how could Gong Huorong dare to disobey?" While speaking, Gong Zhuang Rong shot Jing Ke a mischievous look.

Although Jing Ke didn't dare to call himself a son, but he couldn't do anything to Gongsheng Rong's naughtiness. Thus, he could only helplessly smile and follow her back to San Ya Residence.

When the two of them returned to San Yu's residence, they saw that Du Sanniang and the rest were already drinking and laughing merrily. Third Madame was originally a outspoken and straightforward female hero, and with the addition of Di Kun and Gao Jianli, they were also heroes in the martial world.

"Sanniang, this bowl of wine is for you." After saying this, Di Kun gulped down a bowl of the Nine Stage Wine without batting an eye.

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Seeing that Di Kun was so straightforward, everyone started to cheer for him.

Gao Jianli was a good drinker to begin with, so when he saw that Di Kun drank so heartily, he raised his wine bowl again and said to him, "Big brother Di Kun is indeed from the same sect. I, Gao Jianli, have given my life to accompany you today, big brother Jing Kun, to have a bowl of wine as well!" After he finished speaking, Gao Jianli also picked up the wine bowl. He casually drank the wine in the bowl to the end, and after he finished drinking, he didn't forget to show the empty bowl to everyone.

When everyone saw the empty bowl in Gao Jianli's hands, they cheered again and again, then shouted at Di Kun together, "Big brother Di Kun is too magnanimous! Big Brother Earth Kun is magnanimous! "

He had already drank eight big bowls in a row, and now he could feel that his cheeks were gradually becoming hot, and his scalp was gradually becoming heavy. At this moment, he could not resist the jeering of the crowd, and could only brace himself and slowly pick up the bowl, only to see the wine in the bowl become a little dizzy. He realized that he might not be able to hold on much longer, and could not help but close his eyes and prepare to drink the last bowl.

But when he raised his head and was about to drink, he discovered that not a single drop of wine entered his mouth. As he opened his eyes, he saw that his hands were empty and his wine bowl had long since disappeared. He immediately looked around and saw a person in front of him holding a wine bowl. He lifted his head and drank all of the wine in the bowl in one gulp. At this moment, everyone was dumbstruck by the person who walked in. They all looked at each other in surprise.

After that person finished drinking the wine in his bowl, he wiped his mouth and said to the crowd, "This is indeed a top-quality wine. It seems like Brother Gao didn't deceive me."

After seeing the newcomer's real appearance, most of the alcohol in Di Kun's body had evaporated, and he became much more clear-headed. He then stammered out a few words, "Brilliant ?" Child master... "Little brother."

That person was naturally Jing Ke without a doubt. When Du Sanniang saw that Jing Ke had returned, her face revealed some surprise, and then she casually said, "So Brother Jing has returned."

Seeing Du Sanniang, Jing Ke also smiled and said, "Sanniang's Nine Layer Brewing is naturally not bad, but my Senior Brother Earth Kun has a generous personality, he is too embarrassed to refuse others' good intentions. Just now, I saw that he was already 90% drunk, so I helped him do it."

"Oh, hahaha, Brother Jing is indeed a loyal person. Come, let this person accompany Brother Jing for another bowl of wine." At this moment, Gao Jianli, who was standing by the side, also raised his wine bowl.

Just as he was about to drink, the wine bowl suddenly stopped in midair, and Jing Ke said to Gao Jianli with a serious expression, "Brother Gao, you're right to say that the wine of the Three Rooms is great, but you're using the perfect method to lure the enemy in. Before I drink this cup of wine, can you tell me when you found out my true identity and lured me to this place?"

"This... What do you mean by that, Brother Jing? " Gao Jianli didn't expect that Jing Ke would suddenly turn over his old debts, and immediately pretended to act innocent with a smile on his face.

"You deliberately played the zither in the winery and pretended that you didn't have the money to pay for the liquor, but the ten strings of jade zither in your hand was a rare treasure. Moreover, you clearly had a bulge on your waist, but you weren't someone who was shy.

"This ?" When Gao Jianli saw that his plan of throwing stones and guiding jade had been seen through, he was suddenly speechless.

"Hey, Brother Jing, don't be a stranger. This was San Niang's idea, I had already received secret news from the heroes of the Jianghu that Brother Jing would be coming to Yan Ji to participate in the Prodigy Sword Conference, but I didn't know when he would arrive. I had asked Brother Gao to set up a trap nearby and wait for him to arrive, day and night. I also know that Brother Jing has always been addicted to alcohol, which is why I came up with this plan. " At this moment, Du Sanniang was explaining on the side to provide cover for Gao Jianli.

"Sanniang has put in a lot of effort and meticulous arrangements, leading me to this place step by step, and she even intentionally made my senior brother drunk. Since Sanniang knows that I came here for the Sword Displaying Assembly, doesn't that mean that she is delaying my fellow brothers' matter?"

"Brother Jing, where do you think you're going? I, Third Madame, am fighting with all I have, so how could I miss out on Brother Jing's big issue?" Du Sanniang immediately tried to defend herself.

Alright, alright, you don't need to explain anymore. I, Gongsheng Rong, wholeheartedly appreciate Third Madam and Hero Gao's kindness, "At this moment, Gong Zhuang Rong, who was standing at the side, had already understood the deep meaning behind Du Sanniang's actions. She then interrupted everyone's words and said to Jing Ke," Young Master Jing, Third Madam must have gone through a lot of trouble just for me.

"Sister Rong, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was entirely my, Du Sanniang's, idea. For the past three years, you have been thinking of ways to gather the remnants of the Mo family and set up a three-room residence here. I already know what you are thinking of, but I'm afraid that Brother Jing will not get along with me, so today, I've decided to take the lead for you." Du Sanniang was a person who liked to speak straightforwardly and without the slightest hint of understanding, so she started to shout loudly.

When Du Sanniang's words came out, Jing Ke couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He actually started to panic a bit. In fact, Jing Ke was a smart man, how could he not see the feelings of affection Gong Luoran had for him, but at this moment, he had the great position of the Mo family and the deep hatred of his master, so how could he be distracted by the personal feelings of his children? Besides, things weren't over yet. He was a man with an unknown life and death situation. How could he delay her life? Thus, he could only pretend to be deep and pretend not to know anything.

Third Madam, you're talking nonsense again. Young Master Jing is someone who has done great things, how could he possibly care about these small matters? Since the entire Mo family is gathered here today, we need to consider the matter of the Sword Discourse Assembly carefully. Seeing how Du Sanniang was turning the situation upside down all of a sudden, Gong Zhuang Rong made Jing Ke feel extremely awkward. She immediately took advantage of Gao Jianli to change the topic.

"Yes, yes, yes. Yesterday, I heard that the Qin had sent out an army to the Great Sun at the borders of Chu, and the leader of that army was the Qin general, Huan Hu, Wang Jian and his son, as well as Han Fei and Han Si." Gao Jianli immediately agreed. With just a few words, he had thoroughly summarized Qin Chu's battle.

"Oh, I didn't expect everyone to be so well-informed. Before the army of the Qin arrived at the Great Sun, you all have already known about it. But according to Jing Ke, the Chu Country may not be at a disadvantage, although the Qin Nation is approaching aggressively, but Huan Feng and Wang Jian have never been on good terms, and even with Han Fei supervising the army, it would be hard for them to do anything. If the Chu Country intentionally provokes a conflict between the commander and the vice commander-in-chief, then it's hard to say who will win this game of chess. " Jing Ke took the opportunity to change the topic, and revealed his opinion.

"Hmm, Brother Jing is truly resourceful, and his plan to take down the enemy was revealed by Brother Jing with a single sentence. It's no wonder that Mo Clan is such a big shot, after all, all the heroes here have admired the Mo Clan for a long time, and since Mo Clan is here, I think we might as well listen to Brother Jing's commands. What do you think?" Du Sanniang saw that Jing Ke's words were true and his way of looking at the problem was so remote, so she gave a few words to the crowd, meaning that she wanted Jing Ke to be the leader.
