The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 575
Chapter 575 A Destitute Person
Li Qing found a comfortable place to settle down, and then he took Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai around Jizhou City for a day. After having fun, he found a restaurant to eat.
Just as he entered the restaurant, a few people walked out, causing him to be stunned.
This was none other than the disciples of the Mo Clan, who would have thought that they would actually meet in this place.
“Brother Li, why are you here?” When Mo Jun saw Li Qing, he was immediately shocked.
“I want to find a place to eat.”
Mo Jun revealed a suspicious expression. “Are you guys following us?”
Li Qing felt puzzled, “What am I following you for?”
“This is the Mo Clan’s property. You followed us to join our Mo Clan, right?” Mo Jun seemed to have thought of something and revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
“Do I still need to join you?” Li Qing was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say. Why did this guy feel so good about himself? A mere collateral descendant of the Mo Clan, without any power or influence, would someone come to defect?
“Brother Li, don’t be embarrassed. If you want to join us, just say so. I will introduce you to my uncle.” Mo Jun smiled proudly and patted Li Qing’s shoulder heavily, feeling a sense of superiority.
“Don’t think too much. I just want to find a place to eat. Since this is the property of the Mo clan, I’ll go somewhere else.” Li Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Mo Jun thought that Li Qing was guilty. He didn’t want to let him go. He quickly pulled him back and said, “Sigh, don’t hurry up and leave. Since you’ve already found this place, it wouldn’t make sense if I don’t have the friendship of a landlord. I’ll treat you to this meal. You don’t have to pay for it. Don’t you want to eat for free?”
“Let go!” Li Qing’s expression darkened.
“Brother Li, I sincerely want to treat you to a meal, yet you still treat me like this?” Mo Jun refused to let go. It was not easy for him to get the chance to show off. How could he let go so easily?
Li Qing gently shook and pushed Mo Jun back, leaving without turning back with Liu Ke’er and the little white head.
“Look at him. I was kind enough to help them, but it’s so rude to treat me like this.” Mo Jun said with a sad expression.
“Maybe he really just wants to find a place to eat.” Mo Yu said.
“Our restaurant is one of the most upscale places in the city. A meal costs hundreds of spirit stones. Ordinary Xiantian experts won’t come here to spend money. Do you think he looks like an affordable person? I can tell that he wants to join the Mo Clan. However, after I saw through him, he couldn’t afford to lose face, so he left in a hurry.” Mo Jun sneered.
A middle-aged man walked out of the restaurant and said to Mo Jun, “Jun’er, who were you talking to just now?”
Mo Jun immediately showed a flattering expression and said, “Third Uncle, it’s nothing. He’s just a country bumpkin. He wanted to join me, but I chased him away.”
“Mm, you should take up the post of deacon in the restaurant during this period of time. At present, several large sects haven’t started recruiting new disciples so quickly. We still need to wait for a while.”
…
Li Qing brought Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai to an ordinary restaurant.
“The good mood of the day was ruined by that disgusting fellow! It’s as if we can’t even eat a single meal.” Xiao Bai said indignantly.
“With our strength, how is it possible for us to defect to such a person? It’s really inexplicable.” Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh.
Li Qing’s current strength was comparable to that of a Void Realm expert. No matter where he went, as long as he displayed his strength, he would definitely be treated as a distinguished guest. How could he treat a mere Mo Clan in his eyes?
Even without Li Qing, Liu Ke’er’s cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Xiantian realm, so she could be considered an expert.
“It’s only that fellow’s ignorance of Mount Tai. If we argue with each other, we will lose our status.” Li Qing smiled.
“I just feel aggrieved in my heart. Seeing his complacent appearance, I feel very unhappy.” Xiao Bai fiercely waved his fist.
“Forget it, it’s just a clown. I won’t have a chance to meet him in the future.”
“You just said that you wouldn’t meet again, but you’ve met me now. Maybe you’ll meet me again in the future.” Xiao Bai rolled his eyes.
Li Qing smiled bitterly, “I don’t believe that my luck is so bad. Anyway, I don’t want to meet this guy in the future.”
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the door, “Boss, warm two bowls of wine and order a plate of fennel beans.”
The moment this voice sounded, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention. All of them raised their heads and looked at the newcomer with great interest.
Li Qing was curious as to who this person was that had attracted so much attention.
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged fatty wearing a tattered gown. He looked miserable, with a pale complexion and messy hair.
This was actually an ordinary person. Li Qing did not feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from this person.
Looking at his despondent appearance, it seemed that he was no better than a beggar. Moreover, this person was limping and walking.
“Strange, why would a crippled ordinary person attract so much interest from others?” Li Qing was puzzled.
“Wen Xiaoxian, you have a new scar on your face.” Someone shouted.
He ignored the guests who were coaxing him, as if he had already seen this matter for a long time. He took two bowls of wine and sat on a table not far from Li Qing.
Another person deliberately shouted, “Wen Xiaoxian, you must have peeked at the girl’s house to take a bath again, right?”
The middle-aged fatty opened his eyes wide and said, “Why are you so innocent out of thin air …”
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere inside and outside the restaurant was filled with joy.
When Li Qing and Liu Ke’er heard these people’s conversation, they couldn’t help but glance at each other. They saw astonishment in each other’s eyes.
“Wen Xiaoxian??”
“Could it really be him?” Liu Ke’er whispered.
“The name is the same, but other aspects don’t match. This person is just an ordinary person, so it shouldn’t be him, right?” Li Qing shook his head.
They were talking about Li Qing’s Eldest Senior Brother, whose name was also Wen Xiaoxian.
Elder Liu had accepted a total of six disciples. Four of them were already dead, and the other two were still alive. One was called Wen Xiaoxian, and the other was Han Tie.
Li Qing had always used Han Tie’s pseudonym, but it was actually his Second Senior Brother’s name.
As for this Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother, Wen Xiaoxian, he had already traveled around the world in the early days and had never returned, so Li Qing had no chance to see him.
However, he did not expect that meeting someone called Wen Xiaoxian in this place would naturally attract their attention.
Logically speaking, Wen Xiaoxian was a Xiantian expert. It was impossible for him to look like an ordinary person in front of him, let alone be so miserable.
A Xiantian expert, even if he was penniless, could still nourish his life. He could earn a large sum of money by casually doing some missions.
To Xiantian experts, the money that ordinary people used was not worth mentioning at all. Only spirit stones were their favorite.
“It’s just that I feel a little strange. This middle-aged fatty is just an ordinary person. Why did he attract so much attention from the surrounding guests?” Li Qing was very puzzled.
“Just find someone to ask.”
Li Qing nodded and asked the table beside him, “What exactly is this Wen Xiaoxian’s identity? Why do you all seem to know him?”
“Haha, is this brother from outside? Who in Jizhou City doesn’t know this guy?” They laughed.
“I wonder what to say?”
‘”What do you know? This Wen Xiao wanted to elope with Princess Lingzhu decades ago, but he didn’t succeed. He was caught by people from Zhendong Mansion and hung up to fight. This matter has caused a sensation in Jizhou, and even other places have heard of it. How can we not recognize him when he was cited as a joke?”
“Elope with the imperial daughter?” Li Qing was stunned.
Those who were able to become kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all terrifying figures with monstrous strength. Their status was extremely noble, and their daughter was the imperial daughter.
To dare to elope with a princess, one had to say that this Wen Xiaoxian was truly bold. However, where could he escape from within the Great Zhou Dynasty?
“Wait, Wen Xiao is just an ordinary person, not a martial artist. How can he elope with Princess Lingzhu?” Li Qing suddenly thought of this question.
“Originally, he wasn’t an ordinary person. He was a Xiantian expert. However, he was captured and hung in front of the palace. His dantian was broken, his cultivation base was completely lost, and his leg was broken at that time.”
“So he used to be a Xiantian expert!” Li Qing’s thoughts became lively again. Originally, he thought that Wen Xiaoxian was just an ordinary person and could not be his Eldest Senior Brother. But now … the situation is not certain. Maybe it really is him.
The guest next to him was very talkative. “He was not only a Xiantian expert in the past, but also a good young master with elegant demeanor. He was very handsome and was the male god in the hearts of countless women.”
“What? He used to be a handsome young master?” Li Qing was instantly shocked. Looking at the middle-aged fatty not far away, he really couldn’t associate it with the so-called handsomeness.
‘”That’s for sure. Otherwise, how could it make the imperial daughter’s heart secretly agree? However, after being destroyed by the people of Zhendong Mansion, their cultivation was completely lost. They could only stay in Jizhou City for a long time and slowly became like this.” That person chuckled coldly, as if he was gloating over his misfortune.
“Then why didn’t he leave Jizhou City? It’s better than being bullied here.”
“It’s not that he doesn’t want to leave, it’s that he can’t leave. The people of Zhendong Mansion have ordered him not to leave Jizhou City for a single step, and no one is allowed to help him. Otherwise, he will be enemies with Zhendong Mansion. I admire Wen Xiao for being able to survive in this environment for decades and for being ridiculed and ridiculed by countless people.”
