Chapter 313
This pier used to be a good harbor. Large and medium-sized ships could directly dock at the shore. It used to be very lively, but in recent years, it had become deserted, which was very strange. However, businessmen valued profits. Since Ping Ning Port could also provide a good channel, who would care about the reason why this pier was deserted?
The ship slowly approached the shore, but Zhang Xiaohua's cabin door still did not open. Bai Yonggui was half happy and half worried. He was happy that the ship had finally reached the shore. Seeing that the sect leader on the shore had sent reinforcements, he could finally hand over this hot potato. He was worried that the youth with excellent qinggong still hadn't come out.
Could it be that as Junior Brother Li guessed, he had sneaked away last night?
However, if he had to open Zhang Xiaohua's cabin door himself, he really didn't have the courage.
Looking at the four people on the shore, Bai Yonggui couldn't help but secretly wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. After thinking for a while, he called everyone and jumped onto the shore.
There were four people standing side by side on the shore. Two of them were around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. They were wearing gray robes and hats. One of them was holding a long sword, and the other was holding a long crescent moon shovel. The two people standing on both sides were dressed in martial attire. They were about forty years old, and all of them were holding long swords. Although the two people were old, they seemed to be very respectful to the two people in the middle. They lowered their heads and said something.
Of the two people in the middle, one closed the door and didn't say anything. The other one replied occasionally. They weren't arrogant, but they were extremely indifferent.
Bai Yonggui led everyone to the shore. He first saluted the two young people in the middle and said, "Greetings, masters."
One of them nodded, and the other still closed his eyes and ignored him.
Then, Bai Yonggui saluted the two men in martial attire and said, "Li Li, Deacon Chen, you came in person."
The dark and fat man laughed and said, "Little Bai, don't call me Hall Master. It's better to call me Vice Hall Master Li."
Bai Yonggui smiled and said, "Li Li is a good name. If this trip goes smoothly, I think Li Li will definitely go one step further. I'm not wrong to call you that."
"Good, Xiao Bai. I like what you're saying. Your contribution this time is not small. I won't forget it. Also, the people behind you will all be heavily rewarded."
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and cupped their fists to express their thanks.
Bai Yonggui took a step forward and was about to say something when he saw Li Li give him a look and asked, "Xiao Bai, where is the expert you mentioned?
How come I only see you guys and not that person? "
"This …" Bai Yonggui didn't know what to say.
"Hmm?" Seeing Bai Yonggui hesitate, Li frowned and said, "Did he escape?"
Bai Yonggui hurriedly explained, "Mr. Li, it's a misunderstanding. We're keeping a close eye on him. Why would we give him a chance?"
"That's strange. Where is he?"
"This …" Bai Yonggui pondered for a moment before taking a step forward.
At this moment, the young man said impatiently, "If you have something to say, say it out loud. Why are you whispering?"
Li Li also scolded, "Xiao Bai, if you have something to say, just say it. Our Xin Rong Sect has nothing to hide."
Bai Yonggui said awkwardly, "Mr. Li, that young man didn't escape. He's just hiding in the cabin and won't come out. We don't dare to call him."
Hearing this, Mr. Li's heart was as clear as a mirror. He scolded, "You bunch of useless things. If you don't even have the guts, how can you still survive in Jianghu?"
However, he looked at the two young men. Seeing this, the young man seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, "Well said, Mr. Li, since your leader invited us here, let us do this."
Hearing this, Mr. Li put on a smile and said, "That's good. Then we'll have to ask the grandmaster to do it."
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Grandmaster??
Where are you grandmasters from? "
When everyone looked back, they saw an ordinary young man standing on the high bow of the ship.
Seeing this, Bai Yonggui hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, grandmasters, it's this young man."
After saying this, he waved to the others. The others all jumped back and surrounded the dock in a semicircle.
Seeing the reaction of Bai Yonggui and the others, Mr. Li smiled and thought, "Not bad, children can be taught."
Then, Mr. Li took a step forward and cupped his fists to Zhang Xiaohua. "Little brother, I am Xin Rong Sect's Luo River Hall's Vice Hall Master Li Min. Under the order of our leader, I invite you to our sect for a while."
He didn't mention Zhang Xiaohua's alias at all. It was as if he was sure that Ren Xiaoyao wasn't his name.
How could Zhang Xiaohua believe him? He said in a clear voice, "Vice Hall Master Li, many thanks for your Sect Leader's kind intentions. However, this one has been overseas for a long time. It would be better for me to stay here for a year and a half. When I have time, I will pay a visit to your Sect Leader.
Then, he added, "I'll remember your sect's kindness in bringing me back from the deserted island. I won't tell anyone."
Zhang Xiaohua thought that the two masters invited by the Xin Rong Sect were elders with strong martial arts. Only now did she know that the masters were two monks. The hats on their heads were obviously to cover their bald heads.
He knew that the Xin Rong Sect wouldn't want the sheepskin scroll to spread, so he didn't leak anything when he spoke. His words clearly told Mr. Li that he wouldn't reveal anything about the sheepskin scroll.
Although Hall Master Li understood the meaning behind his words, he had received a death order. How could he dare to show any mercy to his subordinates?
He could only smile and say, "Little brother, you're thinking too much. Our sect leader likes young talents the most. He was very happy when he received the news and sent me to welcome you. If you don't go, wouldn't you be letting down our sect leader's painstaking efforts?"
Zhang Xiaohua laughed coldly and was about to speak.
The thinner monk next to him said, "This benefactor, you should listen to Vice Hall Master Li. If you let this little monk fight, it won't be good. It won't be good if you get injured."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "If I go with you, what will you say?
Will I just leave like this? "
"Ahem," Mr. Li laughed dryly and said, "This, in order to show little brother's sincerity, I'll have to ask this great master to seal little brother's acupoints.
Of course, it's only a few simple acupoints and won't have any effect on the body. When we arrive at the sect, we'll immediately undo little brother's acupoints. Our sect leader is also waiting to apologize to little brother and hold a welcoming banquet. "
"Hahaha," Zhang Xiaohua laughed loudly, as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world.
The monk next to him frowned and said, "Vice Hall Master Li, why are you wasting time with him?
Just directly take him down. "
"Try peaceful means before resorting to force, try peaceful means before resorting to force." Mr. Li explained.
After Zhang Xiaohua finished laughing, she was about to speak when she heard a clamor from the side. Zhang Xiaohua looked up and saw that it was a crow on a huge weeping willow on the shore.
Even with so many people, the crow didn't fly away. It was a strange thing.
Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said loudly, "Where did this crow come from? It's so noisy, it's really unpleasant to hear."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and held a long sword in her hand. From the high ship, she directly flew towards the weeping willow.
Seeing this, the skinny monk's eyes lit up and praised, "Good qinggong!"
At this time, the monk who had his eyes closed also opened his eyes. His eyes flashed for a moment before he closed them again.
The huge weeping willow was outside the encirclement of the Xin Rong sect people. When Bai Yonggui saw Zhang Xiaohua jump out, he led everyone to follow Zhang Xiaohua's figure and flew outside. When Zhang Xiaohua landed, she was right next to the weeping willow, but she was still surrounded by people.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua wasn't nervous. Her right hand exerted force and stabbed her long sword into the ground. She looked at Mr. Li and smiled, "This crow is very noisy and always says some nonsense. Watch how I deal with it."
After she finished speaking, she walked to the side of the weeping willow. She bent down and wrapped her arms around the thick trunk. The trunk was very big and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't even wrap her arms around half of it. However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind. She took a deep breath and shouted, "Rise ~ ~"
Then, he exerted a little strength with his arms, and the ground shook. The huge weeping willow was pulled up a few inches. The weeping willow was huge, and its crown was the size of a few houses. The roots under the tree were even denser, almost covering the entire dock. Zhang Xiaohua exerted his strength, and it was tantamount to causing a small earthquake in the dock.
Zhang Xiaohua originally wanted to pull out the entire weeping willow. However, after pulling out a few inches, she found that the roots were too big. Although she was strong, she couldn't pull it out completely. Thus, she changed her mind and pushed. The weeping willow fell crookedly to the ground. The nest on the tree fell to the ground and the crow naturally flew away.
After pushing down the weeping willow, Zhang Xiaohua clapped her hands and said, "With this, the world is finally peaceful."
Seeing this scene, the dozen people from the Xin Rong Sect who surrounded her were all dumbfounded. Their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
As for the four people outside the encirclement, the two leaders were dumbfounded as they looked at the huge tree that had fallen to the ground in disbelief. The monk who had his eyes closed also opened his eyes. His eyes were burning with passion. Only the skinny monk was surprised and had a hint of regret.
"I thought that this young man was going to use his Qing Gong to kill the crows. I didn't expect him to be so crude. Although his strength is ridiculously great, if I had known he would be like this, I would have taken the opportunity to go up and seal his acupoints."
His idea was reasonable but how could Zhang Xiaohua not have thought of it?
This was also the reason why he pushed down the weeping willow when he saw that he couldn't pull it out.
In this short period of time, with Zhang Xiaohua's Ethereal Steps and with the help of her divine sense, how could she be afraid of a sneak attack?
Seeing that the wharf was silent, Zhang Xiaohua was very satisfied. She smiled and said, "The crow is gone. Everyone has calmed down. Can I go now?"
Li managed to fix his dislocated jaw with difficulty. He stuttered, "This … this … master …"
He didn't know the martial arts of this ordinary young man but the strength of his arms had long exceeded his imagination. In a moment, he could only ask the monk beside him for help.
