"Just what is going on today? Our journey was hurried by a tired horse, and it even started raining heavily." Lin Ziquan raised her head and looked at Tian Yu, and could not help but complain. Jiang Feng wiped off the rain on his face and gazed ahead, saying: "Everyone, there is a cave not too far ahead, why not go there and take shelter for the night." Kuang Mofann reined in his horse, and said: "Looks like that's the only way. Little Junior Sister, Lady Xiao, let's go over quickly." Huang Yue and Xiao Muyu nodded, everyone brandished their whip and rushed forward.

They went into the cave and tied the reins to the jutting pebbles. Jiang Feng and Kuang Mofann went out to pick up some dry firewood and piled them up together. Xiao Muyu took out the fire piston that she brought along with him and started a fire. Jiang Feng said: Ladies, this cave is divided into two layers, I will go inside to build another fire later, you guys go heat up and dry clothes, Brother Kuang and I will stand guard outside to keep watch. Huang Yue laughed happily and said: "Alright, alright, then I'll be troubling you Big Brother Jiang Feng and Senior Brother." Jiang Feng lightly tapped her forehead and went in to make a fire. Lin Ziquan looked at the heavy rain outside, her heart feeling a little unhappy, as she muttered to herself: "This damn rain, I haven't seen it for the past month, and yet it started when I was about to go see senior. It's really hateful to be delaying my journey." Xiao Muyu then smiled and said to Jiang Feng: "Great Master Jiang, we have suffered tonight. When we return to the capital, you better compensate us well!" Jiang Feng laughed loudly, shrugged and said: "There's absolutely no problem, at that time, I'll definitely let you enjoy it." Xiao Muyu said: "Alright, then it's a deal!"

Not long later, Kuang Mofann walked out from the cave and said: "The fire is already lit inside. Ladies, quickly go inside and heat it up. Xiao Muyu and Huang Yue walked ahead with hands held together, while Lin Ziquan followed behind with a straight face. Jiang Feng looked at Lin Ziquan's back figure, then looked at Kuang Mofann and stuck out his tongue helplessly. Kuang Mofann also shook his head and said: "Come, Brother Jiang, we can finally have a hearty talk tonight." Jiang Feng took off his drenched clothes and sat opposite of Kuang Mofann. When the cold wind blew from outside, Jiang Feng could not help but shiver. His internal injuries had not yet healed, and the hardships of the past two days had tired him out, he stretched his body and asked: "Brother Kuang, in your opinion, how is Jing Haohann's sword technique?" Kuang Mofann took a few pieces of dry firewood from the side and threw them into the fire, then said: "His sword techniques are skilled and unyielding, filled with killing intent, domineering and powerful, very powerful." Jiang Feng nodded his head and agreed: "That's right, in ten more years, with his comprehension ability, he will definitely become a sword master of his generation, and will definitely be able to join the ranks of the best in the martial arts world. However, I have also seen sword arts that have a different path from his. " Kuang Mofann pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Could it be that Brother Jiang is referring to Yue Xingchen?" Jiang Feng said: "That's right, he is indeed another type of person. The Brother Yue's sword techniques were extraordinary, belonging to the same faction as the Sect Leader Gui. When I was young, I had also read the 'Art of War'. It had mentioned 'its speed like the wind, its speed like the Xu forest, its attack like the fire, its immovable like the mountain, it is difficult to know if it is as dark or as moving thunder'. In my opinion, the Brother Yue belongs to the 'swift as the wind', and Jing Haohann belongs to the 'invading like fire'. Furthermore, I also know two expert swordsmen. One of them is called Du Shaoyang, who is a prized disciple of the Taoist Mo Feng s of Qing Xu Sect of Henan and Taoist Tai Xu, so his swordsmanship should be 'as evil as the shadows'. As for the other person, he is the young master of the current Prime Minister Liu Shichen, whose swordsmanship is' his, Xu Ruo Lin '. " Kuang Mofann laughed: "Haha, although I have never read the < Sun's Martial Arts >, I still understand some things. Isn't there two more? Who do you think is suitable for the other two? " Jiang Feng drew a square on the ground with firewood and said: "Actually, if you want to talk, there are people who are suitable. 'Thundering' is the Qian Sect Sect Leader, and 'Immovable Mountains' is the Heavenly Sect Sect Leader Dugu Soong." Kuang Mofann clapped his hands and praised: "Listening to my lord, you have cultivated for more than ten years, you are truly astute, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely meet the Du Shaoyang and Young Master Liu Brother Jiang mentioned." Jiang Feng smiled and said: "There will definitely be an opportunity. However, Brother Kuang, have you ever thought about, if there were no events that happened after you returned to the peak, how much of a guarantee would you have of defeating Jing Haohann in the finals? " Kuang Mofann looked at Jiang Feng's resolute eyes, twisted his neck, and said: "If I use my full strength, I think fifty percent. But if he gets braver, I may not be able to beat him. " Jiang Feng changed his shirt into a bake and said: "Brother Kuang is being modest." Kuang Mofann shook his head and said: "Not at all, Brother Jiang. If it was you, how much chance do you think you have of winning? You know, I was defeated by your hand. " Jiang Feng lowered his face and laughed: "I'm afraid that I am more or less the same." Kuang Mofann nodded his head, took out some dry food from his bag and distributed it to Jiang Feng.

Inside the cave, Huang Yue and Xiao Muyu were huddled together, warming up and chatting. Huang Yue asked: "Elder Sister Xiao, have you met your father before?" Xiao Muyu was surprised, and asked: "Why did little sister suddenly ask that?" Huang Yue lowered his head, a trace of sadness surfaced on her face: "Big sister, to tell you the truth, since my birth, I have never seen my father, or perhaps it's more accurate to say, I have, but I no longer have an impression of him." Xiao Muyu hugged Huang Yue lightly and comforted him softly: "Little sister, don't be too heartbroken. Actually, like you, I was also in my infancy when my mother and father passed away one after the other. I can't even remember just what they looked like." Huang Yue slowly raised his head and said, "So Elder Sister Xiao's background is even worse than mine. At least I lived with my mother for ten years. "Later on, when my mother died in front of me, I was truly unforgettable to the bones. At that time, I really felt like I went with my mother." Xiao Muyu lightly patted her back, and said: "Little sister, you don't have to be too sad about what has happened anymore. The dead already are fine, right now we have all met good masters, they treat us like their own daughters, we should be grateful for them." Hearing her persuasion, the sadness in Huang Yue's heart immediately subsided a lot, and she said: "Elder Sister Xiao is right, we are all still very lucky. At least we didn't go to the streets and starve to death." Actually, in her heart, there was already no one who could be trusted at this moment. Perhaps Jiang Feng and Huang Yue was the only friend she had left in her heart.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Ziquan suddenly walked over and said: "Although we are both daughters, who said that women are inferior to men? Even though we have never had a father or mother since we were young, we have to strengthen ourselves so that others would think highly of us." The two of them did not expect Lin Ziquan to be able to talk to them, and were both surprised. Huang Yue asked: "Ah, Lin Ziquan, so you also know how to talk, huh." Lin Ziquan glared at her, and said. "That's only natural, Huang Yue, don't think that just you alone have a miserable background. As for me, I was adopted by Master and Mistress since I was young. I don't even know who my parents are. " Huang Yue seemed to not believe it and asked back: "Then why do you have the surname 'Lin'?" Lin Ziquan took a deep breath, then said: "Master gave me this surname, Master's surname is Gui. She originally wanted me to also have the surname Gui, but was afraid of disrespect towards my biological parents, so she took the word 'Mu' from the side, and used an overlapping method to bestow me with the surname 'Lin'." Huang Yue suddenly realized and said: "So that's how it is. I didn't think that you would be so unreasonable as to actually have a history even worse than us …" Before she could finish her words, Lin Ziquan interrupted her and said, "However, even if it is so, I still want to live up to my true self. I also want to live an outstanding life that definitely isn't any worse than anyone else. Thus, we must first train our hearts. Only when our hearts become stronger will we be able to deter others and not be bullied. " Huang Yue laughed mischievously, and said: "Haha, so it was because of this that you were so fierce. It seems that I had wronged you in the past." Huang Yue's nature was kind, she did not have any other thoughts, it was just that she could not bear to see tyrannical people, and Lin Ziquan had even snatched away the "Exquisite Ring", which was why she hated Huang Yue, when she heard her heartfelt words, most of her disgust for her disappeared.

Huang Yue distributed the rations to Xiao Muyu and Lin Ziquan. Although Lin Ziquan did not say thank you, she slowly sat down next to Huang Yue and Xiao Muyu. Perhaps, no matter how strong a girl's heart was, she still liked to have the feeling of being with someone.

In the cave, Jiang Feng's voice suddenly came over: "Ladies, it is raining heavily outside, but our cave is quite high, and should not be flooded by water, it is getting late, you guys can rest in peace. Tomorrow morning, we will set out on our journey. " Huang Yue replied: "Okay, we will be sleeping soon. Big Brother Jiang Feng, Senior Brothers, you should rest well as well. " Kuang Mofann replied with a light "En".

An hour later, the sound of light breathing came from inside the cave. Huang Yue and Xiao Muyu who were hugging each other fell asleep beside the bonfire. With his back against the rock wall, the treasured sword leaning at his side, Yue Xingchen's figure constantly surfaced in her mind. She was really looking forward to meeting with Yue Xingchen as soon as possible. Slowly, Lin Ziquan also fell asleep. When Jiang Feng heard that there were no more laughs inside the cave, he said: "Brother Kuang, you and I will take turns keeping watch tonight, I am not very tired yet, you rest first." Kuang Mofann nodded and said: "Alright, I will go to sleep first." He took his bundle and his musket, leaned against it, and closed his eyes. Jiang Feng walked to the cave entrance and looked at the storm. His heart was filled with emotion …

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
