Chapter 16: Spring Hunting in Udon Mountain (3)
Ye Jinyu turned to look at Li Mengzhou and said, "The hunt has just begun, are you going to admit defeat?"
Looking at the black bear corpse at Ye Jinyu's feet, Li Mengzhou said calmly: "I'm not good at bows and arrows, and I didn't think about winning you in this way, you haven't been in the Sword Courtyard for a long time, if you want to talk to you well, you need to seize the only opportunity." β
"What are you going to talk about?"
"Why do you knowingly ask? β
Li Mengzhou stretched out his right hand to hold the black green sword hilt behind his back, slowly pulled it out of the scabbard, and said: "In the sword courtyard, you said that you don't have time, so you have enough time at this moment, and what reason do you want to find to avoid the war?"
Ye Jinyu frowned slightly, and said: "Sang Yu was disobedient and ran away from home and roamed the rivers and lakes alone, I am very grateful to you for taking care of her and not letting her suffer any harm, but the matter of guarding and stealing is the most shameful for me." β
"I didn't like you from the beginning, because Sang Yu grew up, except for the people of the Ye clan, the only man I have ever come into contact with is me, what qualifications do you have to be favored by Sang Yu?"
Li Mengzhou looked at Ye Jinyu very strangely, and said: "I have more or less heard about you in the Sword Academy, it is said that you care about your family very much, and you also love your sister, but is your love for Sang Yu a little beyond the scope of your brother? Do you want to ban other men around Sang Yu forever?"
Ye Jinyu saw some unhealthy thoughts in Li Mengzhou's eyes, but he said coldly: "Sang Yu is very kind, because of her weak body, she has never left my sight since she was a child, in her world, everyone should be an amiable person, she doesn't know what evil is, her thoughts are always very naΓ―ve." β
"If she does have someone she likes, of course I won't stand in the way, but at least that person must be reliable. But that person could never be you. β
Li Mengzhou felt very incomprehensible, and said with some annoyance: "Where did I offend you? I didn't step into the path of cultivation at the beginning, and in your eyes, I may not be worthy of Sang Yu, but now I have already broken through the upper realm of promise, and even as long as I want to, I can beat you up, what qualifications do you have to look down on me?"
He didn't want to argue about anything, because it didn't make any sense at all now, since Ye Sangyu died on his seventeenth birthday, relying on Amaterasu's baptism to improve his physique and dying, the two of them were destined to be impossible to be together again, but Ye Jinyu's attitude made him feel very angry.
Ye Jinyu was silent for a moment.
He looked at Li Mengzhou very seriously, and said: "Now you have indeed become a lot stronger, and you are also a rare genius in the capital, and you have even entered the inner courtyard of the palace to practice, and you have a certain identity in the entire Jiang Kingdom, maybe one day, I can only look up to you, but this does not affect my opinion of you." β
"No matter how strong you become, you won't have the ability to protect Sang Yu forever, in this world, personal strength is not strong, unless you really stand at the peak of the world, but how long will it take?"
"Of course, you are a cultivation genius, as long as you don't die halfway, you will get these sooner or later, this is not the only reason why I deny you, but because you have too much anger, you have killed too many people, and there will definitely be countless enemies in the future, who knows when you will die?
Ye Jinyu was the first time to put his heart into Li Mengzhou and said what he really thought.
Li Mengzhou was a little powerless to refute.
On the bright side, Ye Jinyu can see what road Li Mengzhou is going to take and what kind of danger he will encounter.
But Li Mengzhou himself knows better that the road he wants to take is far more dangerous than Ye Jinyu imagined, if he can't even protect himself, why should he be implicated in any feelings?
He doesn't blame Ye Jinyu, and he is not qualified to blame.
"I just want to worship in front of Sang Yu's grave, so this shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
Not to talk about other things, Li Mengzhou wondered what the reason Ye Jinyu insisted on not telling him where Ye Sangyu was buried, after all, it was impossible for him to continue to be with Ye Sangyu, who was already dead, it was normal for people to want to worship, why make it so complicated?
Ye Jinyu's expression was a little melancholy, and he said lightly: "Since I said, when you defeat me, I will tell you, then before this, I have the right to be silent." β
Li Mengzhou took a long breath, put his sword in his chest, and said, "Then let's fight." β
Ye Jinyu knew that he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he didn't say anything, stretched out his hand, and the qi in the sea of qi surged, and his natal sword was held in his hand.
He looked at the dark blue sword in Li Mengzhou's hand, frowned slightly and said: "He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue are still looking for their natal sword on the sword cliff, you are not in the sword cliff, you should have already cultivated the natal sword, and the sword in your hand is very aggressive, but it is indeed very suitable for you." β
Li Mengzhou naturally didn't have the heart to show Ye Jinyu his natal sword, and the role of the Wuqing sword was also this.
He posed for "Melting Snow".
Ye Jinyu struck the same pose.
There is no wind in the forest.
Two inexplicable qi engines gradually appeared.
When the aura of the two was about to reach its peak, they each clenched the sword in their hands, and at the moment when the sword was faintly unsheathed, a voice came abruptly.
"We caught a lot of prey and we won this time. β
Nan Sheng was holding a few birds and hares in his hands, walking in front of Lu Jiuge, who was also full of harvest in both hands, and appeared in the sight of Li Mengzhou and Ye Jinyu.
Lu Jiuge looked at the fighting posture of the two people, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Li Mengzhou frowned, and said very unexpectedly: "Why are you here?"
Nan Sheng answered him this question, "We have encountered a lot of prey, there is no way to bring them all back, and it is a little difficult to even get together, I feel that there are some problems with the rules of the competition, there is no way to confirm who hunts the most, and it will always be troublesome to go back and see the corpses of those dead beasts everywhere, so I came back to discuss with you." β
Li Mengzhou glanced at Ye Jinyu, reluctantly put away the sword and returned it to the sheath, and said: "Just describe it verbally, there shouldn't be anyone who thinks about cheating and reporting the number indiscriminately, it's just a game competition, why take it so seriously?"
Nan Sheng nodded and agreed to the matter.
And Lu Jiuge's eyes were still on Li Mengzhou and Ye Jinyu, and he couldn't help but ask again: "You haven't answered my question just now, are you going to fight?"
Ye Jinyu also put away his sword, breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and said, "It's just a normal exchange." β
Lu Jiuge did not doubt him, and said: "Let's talk about it later, it's not too early, when we return to the capital, it should be dark, since it is a competition, there will naturally be a winner or a loser, let's get Jiang Zihua back first." β
For monks who have entered the realm of the realm of inheritance, it is very easy to find someone, in addition to releasing the consciousness to see, as long as the distance is not too far, they can also directly use the consciousness to talk.
After Lu Jiuge informed Jiang Zihua, they waited in place, and by the way, they each reported the prey they had hit.
Ye Jinyu's harvest is in front of him, Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng have more prey than Ye Jinyu, naturally they are the winners, if it weren't for Ye Jinyu being delayed by Li Mengzhou, maybe he would have more prey than Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng.
The two groups of people divided the winners and losers, and the only group left was Li Mengzhou and Jiang Zihua.
Li Mengzhou didn't know if Jiang Zihua had hit any prey, but he didn't hit one, and even the arrow in his quiver was not missing.
Nan Sheng naturally discovered this problem, put his hands around his chest, raised his head slightly, and said, "You won't hit none of them, right?"
The way of judging the results of the oral description was proposed by Li Mengzhou, if he cheated and said nonsense, his face would be a little unbearable, but if he was telling the truth, looking at Nan Sheng's appearance of being ready to mock at any time, it seemed that he would be even more faceless.
Li Mengzhou could only pin his hopes on Jiang Zihua's body.
After all, in order to win Ye Jinyu and grow face in front of Lu Jiuge, Jiang Zihua is majestic and high-spirited.
But before Jiang Zihua came back, Li Mengzhou always had an excuse, so he said very calmly: "The prey I caught was all under the witness of Jiang Zihua, and he will naturally know when he comes back." β
Nan Sheng snorted and said, "It's better to be like this." β
Li Mengzhou didn't pay attention to her anymore, although Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng were here, but in fact, he didn't care about continuing to fight with Ye Jinyu, but seeing Lu Jiuge and Ye Jinyu standing together, it didn't seem to be an easy thing to persuade Lu Jiuge to watch.
"I'll have to find another time. β
He didn't have to wait long, Jiang Zihua came here, he was panting and excited, and hurriedly reported his results: "I met a litter of bears, although it took a little time, but finally defeated their family. β
Nan Sheng hit the key point directly, and said lightly: "How many hits have you scored in total?" Don't forget, the rules of the competition are to see who hits more, not more than the volume. β
Although Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng hunted some small animals such as hares, they won because of the large number of them, which can be described as a sure victory.
Jiang Zihua looked at Nan Sheng blankly.
The corners of Li Mengzhou's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he knew the results of the competition without asking.
After determining the winner, Nan Sheng was very proud and did not miss the opportunity to ridicule Li Mengzhou.
And Li Mengzhou can only be regarded as not hearing.
While they were rejoicing, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and a sharp arrow flew from the forest.
Li Mengzhou's eyes froze, and the black green sword was instantly unsheathed, and it slashed at the flying arrow with a click, causing it to break off and fall to the ground with a snap.
Crisp footsteps followed.
From where the arrows swept out, three figures came out.
They were wearing the same clothes and equipment similar to Li Mengzhou's, except for holding a bow in their hands and a quiver behind them, they were also carrying a sword.
