On the first day of June, it rained lightly.
In a simple tea stall, Sui Xiegu looked through the window at the drizzle outside, his brows filled with calmness without a trace of ripples.
"Sir, your tea is here."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man brought hot tea and placed it on Sui Xiegu's table. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Please use it slowly."
Sui Xiegu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea overflowed and was so refreshing that he couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the delicious taste.
Then, he seemed to sense something. He slowly opened his eyes and looked toward the southwest. Through the hazy drizzle, he saw two figures there, walking slowly from not far away.
These two people were Pei Qing and Wenwen. They walked side by side, their clothes were not stained by dust, and their steps were neither fast nor slow. They were like strolling in a leisurely garden, and they looked like a couple of gods and immortals.
After seeing the two of them, the tea stall owner suddenly showed a look of joy on his face. He hurried over with an oil-paper umbrella and greeted them politely: "Two guests, it's windy and rainy outside, why don't you come to the shop and have a drink?" Tea takes shelter from the rain.”
Pei Qing did not answer when he heard this. He looked at Sui Xiegu inside the tea stall. The other party's eyes also fell on him, and the two eyes collided with each other.
"Boom."
On the horizon, thunderclouds gathered and strong winds blew.
Pei Qing and Sui Xiegu looked at each other from a distance, neither of them looking away. The atmosphere became oppressive and solid, and the air around them seemed to be stagnant.
Several Jianghu Rangers in the tea stall noticed something unusual, and raised their heads one after another, looking at Pei Qing in the rain and Sui Xiegu inside the tea stall, with horror in their eyes. They had never felt this power before, like two giants. The mountain is suspended above his head.
"Suddenly there is a very depressing atmosphere!"
"Who are they?"
"These two people seem to know each other?"
"I always feel that these two people are not simple. Not only are they powerful, but they also have a very strange temperament. They are like two unsheathed sharp blades that make people afraid to approach them. It is too dangerous..."
The rangers turned pale with fright at the auras emanating from the two men. They did not dare to stay any longer and quickly fled from the vicinity of the tea shed for fear of setting themselves on fire.
When the owner of the tea shop saw this, a flash of worry flashed in his eyes. These two people were not good friends. Once they started fighting, his tea shop would definitely not be saved.
But at this moment, an old man wearing a raincoat and holding a cane came over.
His steps were staggering, but he happened to be in the center of Pei Qing and Sui Xiegu's eyes, blocking their eye contact.
The old man raised his head, looked at Pei Qing, and said calmly: "Would you like tea?"
His tone was very calm, like the grandpa next door asking a stranger if he wanted to eat, which made people feel particularly comfortable.
Huanyu felt the difference in the atmosphere, and couldn't help but grab the corner of Pei Qing's clothes with her little hands. She was a little nervous and whispered: "Wooden, this old man seems to be very strong!"
Pei Qing looked at the old man. His eyes were clear and pure, just like a child's. He didn't look like an octogenarian at all, but rather like a thirty-year-old man, exuding vigorous energy.
Pei Qing replied calmly: "Drink!"
"Come in and sit down." The old man said with a smile, turned around and walked into the tea shed with a cane, and ordered to the boss with a gloomy face: "Boss, have a pot of Biluochun."
"Okay!" The boss responded quickly.
After the three of them sat down, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, apologized to the three of them, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry. It rained a lot today, so I neglected our distinguished guest."
The old man waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then said to Sui Xiegu, the only remaining customer in the tea stall, "Why don't you come and sit here?"
Sui Xiegu hesitated for a moment, stood up, walked slowly to sit next to the old man, his eyes were calm without any fluctuation.
"Guys, here comes the tea." The boss brought the tea to the three of them, and then stepped aside respectfully.
The old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After tasting it, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Good tea."
"Dare you ask me your senior's name?" Sui Xiegu finally spoke after pondering for a long time.
The old man shook his head and said: "The name is just a title. It doesn't matter what my name is. The important thing is that I can answer your questions."
"Senior, do you intend to stop the two of us?" Pei Qing suddenly said, his tone still so calm, as if there was no fireworks at all.
The old man said with great interest: "Why do you say that?"
Pei Qing poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said calmly: "Senior wouldn't have suddenly appeared if he hadn't deliberately stopped him."
The old man did not answer. He pointed to the tea cup in front of him with a smile and said: "Drink tea, drink tea."
"Three days later, Canglang Mountain, I'll be waiting for you." Sui Xiegu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, looked deeply and long, and said something lightly, then put down the tea cup, stood up and walked outside.
"etc!"
At this time, the old man called out to Sui Xiegu.
"Senior, do you have anything else to do?" Sui Xiegu stopped and turned to look at the old man.
The old man chuckled and asked, "No, I just want to remind you that sometimes obsession doesn't need to be too deep."
After saying that, the old man waved his hand and said, "Go!" without waiting for Sui Xiegu's reply.
Sui Xiegu looked at the old man deeply, then withdrew his gaze, walked out of the tea shed, walked toward the distant city, and gradually disappeared from sight.
The old man watched Sui Xiegu's figure completely disappear from sight, turned to Pei Qing and said, "Are you Pei Qing? I didn't expect you to have reached this point at such a young age. You are really a formidable person."
Pei Qing bowed his hand humbly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, senior."
The old man asked again: "Do you want to challenge the top ten sword masters in the world one by one?"
"That's right." Pei Qing said bluntly, without any cover-up. Almost everyone knew about this matter.
"Old man, I'm very optimistic about you. I hope you can go further and further on this road." The old man smiled and patted Pei Qing on the shoulder, then walked out of the tea stall with a cane and disappeared step by step into the rain, leaving only A faint sigh reached his ears.
After the old man left, Pei Qing frowned slightly. He had just vaguely felt that the old man was exuding an extremely dangerous aura. Compared with the aura on Sui Xiegu's body, it was completely in the sky and on the ground. There was no comparison at all. .
Huanwan blinked her big eyes, looked at Pei Qing and asked, "Smelly Pig Tou, who do you think that old man was just now?"
Pei Qing glanced at her and said, "I don't know."
He really didn't know, but judging from the conversation just now, this person was by no means an ordinary person. Even if he was not on the level of Dugu Qiubai, he was at least on the level of Li Chungang and Wang Xianzhi.
After hearing this, Huanwan asked: "Are we going to Canglang Mountain in three days?"
Pei Qing looked determined and said without hesitation: "Go."
"Can I go with you?" Huanwen continued to ask, staring at Pei Qing with expectant eyes.
"No." Pei Qing drank the tea in the cup, stood up and walked outside. As he walked, he said, "Let's go and take a look inside the city."
Hearing this, Huanwan curled her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Huh, if you don't want to take it, then I won't take it."
Pei Qing heard it, but pretended not to hear it, and walked towards the city in front of him. He had not returned to Beiliang for a long time.
