However, when the other party received this news, they would send people to chase him down and stop him. At the same time, they would spread the news, attracting many Fighter s to participate.

The Six Stars Fighter that Li Qingniu had killed earlier was one of them.

However, most of the Fighter kept their dignity as a Fighter and did not participate in the pursuit of people. Most of the people chasing after them were people with improper conduct and character, because of their greed, they could not specialize in martial arts, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to train in despicable Fighter.

Originally, there were many people who went with them and a few of them were Fighter s of the Six Stars. They were all trying to protect me...

While talking, Murong Lanyu actually started to cry.

It was no wonder. A weak girl like her, who had been under the protection of the stars and the moon since she was young, had experienced so many calamities. Watching her uncles die in front of her, it was truly difficult to forget.

This was the second time Li Qingniu saw a girl crying sorrowfully in front of him.

Looking at her face that was as beautiful as a flower and filled with tears, he felt an inexplicable reluctance and pity.

Miss, don't cry anymore. Please don't worry, even if we risk our lives, we will ensure Miss's safety.

Although I admire your courage and fearlessness, are you sure you can protect her if you are so weak?

Hearing that, Fang Tong's face turned green, then red. Although he was right, he was indeed very weak compared to the other party, but no matter what, he was still a highly respected Four Star Fighter. To suddenly be called weak by someone like him, made him feel awkward no matter how one listened.

Murong Lanyu spoke up in a timely manner: "No matter what, on this journey, if it wasn't for the Uncle Fang's care and protection, even if Lanyu had ten lives, she would have already used them all up."

This was Fang's duty.

Murong Lanyu turned her head to Li Qingniu and said: "It seems like Young Noble is rushing there too. May I ask where is Young Noble going?

I heard that Celestial Star Sect is about to start recruiting disciples soon, so I was just about to head there.

Oh? So it turns out that Young Master also wants to go to the Celestial Star Sect. If Young Master Meng doesn't abandon us, would you be willing to travel on the same path as us?

When Fang Tong heard this, he could not help but frown and say, "Miss, we..."

But before waiting for Fang Tong to finish speaking, Murong Lanyu continued, "Of course, if Young Master is worried that travelling together with me will bring about trouble, Lanyu will naturally not force you.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly, appearing to be slightly disappointed. Seeing that, Li Qingniu's heart could not bear to see it anymore.

I'm not afraid of you, but Miss Lanyu doesn't seem to be a martial artist, why would she go to the Celestial Star Sect?

He is the Fighter with the strongest Mu Rong Family. Father originally wanted me to go to him, but he said that as long as he is here, no one can touch me.

So that's how it is. Alright, let's set off together tomorrow. You guys have exhausted too much energy previously, so you should get some rest now.

After receiving Li Qingniu's promise, Murong Lanyu nodded happily and instructed a few people to rest early. Fang Tong had always wanted to say something, but seeing that everything was settled, he swallowed his words back in the end.

Heh heh, this young lady might be young, but she is not a simple person.

Just as Li Qingniu closed his eyes and was about to rest, he heard the voice of the Sword Spirit ring out in his mind.

Hearing this, Li Qingniu frowned slightly, and asked without batting an eyelid: What do you mean? Are you trying to say that everything she said was a lie?

The Sword Spirit laughed: That is not true, but whether or not it is true is false. Whether it is true is always the hardest thing to discern, you brat, don't be bewitched by the beauty, remember to always keep your consciousness.

I'm not obsessed with the mind... Li Qingniu mumbled in his mind, he ignored the Sword Spirit and fell asleep while leaning against the wall.

Early morning on the second day, everyone packed their luggage and set out for Celestial Star Sect.

There was less than half a month until Celestial Star Sect's disciple recruitment date. After calculating the distance, there was still plenty of time.

When there was nothing to do, Murong Lanyu would try to chat with Li Qingniu, or ask him about the affairs of the family.

The two began to chat about what they had experienced since they were young, and told each other about their recent encounters. He told them almost everything about his past.

Presumably, Young Master Li really likes that Miss Gu.

Under the setting sun, two people sat on a huge rock as they watched the setting sun sink into the sea of clouds.

The last rays of the sun shone on each other's faces, like a shy bright red.

As Murong Lanyu spoke, her expression revealed an inexplicable sense of loss.

Like it? I don't know either, the Grandma Long and the rest didn't teach me, do you know what it means to like?

Murong Lanyu was startled, and said: "If you like it, then that's …" The two of them were happy when they met, but after separating, they would miss each other. Everything they did made sense when they were together, as if there was always something they wanted to say to each other … It seemed like … That's right.

So this is what you like?

Actually, I'm not sure if I like it or not, but if I like that person, I'll be worried about him from time to time.

As Murong Lanyu said that, she could not help but lower his head, he could feel the heat coming from her face, if not for the protection of Xue Can Yang, she would have buried her head in her knees long ago.

Li Qingniu looked at the Fiery Blaze Cloud in the distance and thought about what Murong Lanyu had said. He suddenly felt that the matter of emotions was extremely complicated, much more complicated than cultivating or fighting Savage Beast.

At this time, within the Qingyang City, an earth-shattering change was happening.

The Mohist Chamber of Commerce officially launched an all-out attack on the Gu family. There were physical confrontations, and there were commercial blockades as well.

Because Gu Chuan had always been bedridden and unconscious, even though he had Gu Ruoqing to take care of the merchant guild, she was, after all, a woman. No matter how strong he was, there were still many people who did not wholeheartedly submit to him.

There were a lot of people like Gu Chengmu who had ulterior motives, but they were just not as brazen as Gu Chengmu.

However, Mo Cheng, who had been secretly inciting trouble behind the scenes, was very clear about the hidden danger of the Gu family.

Gu Ruoqing also understood in her heart that there were a lot of people in the clan who were unconvinced of her abilities. But previously, in order to avoid causing internal strife within the clan, she had been trying her best to balance everything out, and had barely been able to maintain the normal operations of the entire merchant guild.

Gu Chengmu's death had originally been an invisible deterrence to them, and in addition to the fact that Gu Chuan had recovered at this moment, it was a good opportunity. This was originally the perfect time to settle the internal matters of the Mo Clan, but unexpectedly, the Mo Clan chose to make trouble at this time.

This gave the branch families who had been ready to make a move more space to dream, and with the Mohist Chamber of Commerce's frontal assault, it gave them more confidence, and actually brazenly went against Gu Chuan.

Father, Mo Guang is obviously using Mo Shaoxie's death as an excuse to take over the Gu family. He wants to take this opportunity to take over the Gu family, and the sect elders have all been possessed, not caring about the family's benefits. If this goes on, the merchant guild won't be able to hold on for long.

For the past few days, every time the Gu Clan caravan left the city, they would be ambushed. Furthermore, there were no lack of experts in the enemy camp, and every time they went out, their own caravan would suffer heavy casualties.

And the news quickly spread across the entire Qingyang City. Other than Gu Chuan's own trusted aides, almost no one was willing to be hired by the Gu family.

In the sale of commodities, Mohist had also gone to great lengths to engage the Gu family in a price war, vowing to force the Gu family onto a dead end step by step.

In order to turn the situation around, Gu Chuan had no choice but to personally go to one of the three great merchant guilds, the Zhao Family, to persuade them.

After all, the lips die and the teeth tremble. Mo Cheng's ambition was clear as day. The Zhao Family's Patriarch had already agreed to help the Gu Family fight against Mo Cheng. However, at this time, Mo Cheng had colluded with Yang Lie, who had a grudge with the Gu family before, and pressured the Zhao family.

In order to protect themselves, the Zhao Family had no choice but to stop funding Gu Chuan.

The detestable Yang Lie, if the Brother Li was still here, even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare try to stop him.

I had long known that he would not easily let the Gu family off, but because of the prestige of the Gu family, if Mo Cheng had not intervened, Yang Lie would not have been so anxious to interfere.

Father, why don't we call your big brother back? With Brother Li here, he definitely wouldn't dare to be so impudent, and without Yang Lie's support and Brother Li's strength, no matter how crafty Mo Cheng is, he would still be a toothless tiger.

Gu Chuan thought for a moment, then shook his head: This is our own household's matter, we should not trouble the Young Master Li, furthermore, he is going to apply for Celestial Star Sect now, if we call him back now, he will definitely miss this year's examination. We have already received too many favours from our young master, so we should not cause him any more trouble.

Since father is right, then let daughter accompany father to deal with the crisis in front of them. Gu Ruoqing said firmly.

Okay, this is my, Gu Chuan's, daughter. Gu Chuan smiled with gratitude and said: But don't worry, I won't be defeated that easily.

After Gu Ruoqing heard this, she asked: Could it be that father has a trump card?

There was nothing much to be done, we were merely dodging the blade for now, using retreat as an advantage. The current situation was not good for us to continue fighting head on.

But Qingyang City is our foundation, where else can we retreat to? Gu Ruoyun hesitated.

Actually, she wasn't really afraid of leaving the Qingyang City, she was afraid that after leaving this place, Li Qingniu would not be able to find his if he returned.

Gu Chuan seemed to not have noticed his daughter's thoughts, and only spoke: "Qing'er, do not worry about this, your father has already prepared for danger many years ago."

Although Gu Ruoqing was unwilling, he knew that it was the time of life and death for the Gu family. She also knew that her father's burden was heavier than anyone else's, and she did not want to burden Gu Chuan further, so she could only try her best to suppress the thoughts in her heart.

slowly sighed. Brother Li, do we still have a chance to meet again …
