On July 8th, the summer solstice. Since that day, Lin Manliu and Ning Ke had a verbal conflict, the two have not had any communication, the poor scholar pushed the door out early in the morning, and every time the short-shirted young man followed and wanted to explain, Ning Ke didn't wait for Lin Manliu to speak, and quickly dodged away.

This made the short-shirted young man not only recall that when she was chasing Qianjingxiao in the mountains and forests that night, she was still injured in her leg and could quickly keep up with her feet, but now her leg injury should be almost good, so naturally she can't catch up.

Such a situation made Lin Manliu really distressed, and as time went on, more and more news about the Evil Slaughter Gate and the area around the south of the Yangtze River came to the Casting Sword Peak Mountain Gate.

The mountain bandits in the area of Qianzhou or some people from the rivers and lakes who don't know the origin rushed to enter the Yangfeng Valley, which was originally entrenched in the dangerous place of the Slaughter Evil Gate, and in recent times it has become more powerful.

News also came from Yuezhou, and the various Jianghu sects that originally rushed to the aid of Fengxue Daguanlou, and the twenty-three Jianghu sects led by Wenjian Lake, Shenxingguan, and Xunhanshan, jointly established the Heaven and Earth Alliance, vowing to destroy the evil sect that disturbed the stability of the southern rivers and lakes.

These news, in the past few days, when Qiao Yunnian went out to play with Lin Manliu, he would tell all the things he knew about this big brother Liu in front of him, the brother-in-law candidate in his heart.

"Brother Liu, you said that this Heaven and Earth Alliance, can you defeat the Evil Sect" Qiao Yunnian and Lin Manliu were walking leisurely in the streets and alleys, and he suddenly asked out loud.

"In the past, the Evil Sect attacked several times, but they all broke those Jianghu sects one by one, and now the entire Jianghu Sect is attacking together, which must be more favorable than the previous situation..."Lin Manliu said in response.

"The news that has come over these days is that the Evil Sect and Yangfeng Valley are harming one side, I don't know when this Heaven and Earth Alliance will be able to move to fight with them" Qiao Yunnian looked at the sky, his thoughts began to drift away, there is also a Sword Casting Peak in the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and the leaders are his father and sister.

Lin Manliu and Qiao Yunnian unconsciously walked to the place near the mountain gate of Sword Casting Peak, and at the entrance of today's mountain gate, there were many more people than before, as if something was going to happen.

The short-shirted young man casually glanced at the entrance of the mountain gate, and found that Li Junce was standing at the front of the crowd again, is this person really like to make all kinds of friends in the rivers and lakes as Yun Nian said before?

Today, I don't know who was invited up the mountain by him. As the two of them got closer and closer to the mountain gate of the Forging Sword Peak, the noisy sound of the mountain gate also remembered.

"Welcome Elder Qiao back to the peak!!" The disciples of the Sword Casting Peak at the mountain gate, as well as some deacons and elders, all shouted in unison outside the mountain gate.

As the shouts came to mind, the disciples of the Sword Casting Peak at the location of the mountain gate, the deacons and the elders all bowed down to the outside of the mountain gate together, and reported that Li Junce was also facing the outside of the mountain gate and respectfully clenched his fists, this picture made the young man in the short shirt really curious, what kind of person is worthy of such a battle as Sword Casting Peak.

"Yun Nian, do you know this Elder Qiao they are talking about, look at that old fox like that" Lin Manliu immediately shouted softly to Qiao Yunnian beside him.

Qiao Yunnian also looked at the scene at the mountain gate, he saw that Li Junce actually hugged his fist outward, his eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Hey, how can this old fox have today, but Elder Qiao... I haven't heard of it," he said, and his whole head shook like a rattle.

When the short-shirted young man heard this, he planned to leave this place as soon as possible with Qiao Yunnian, if this Elder Qiao, who didn't know the origin, hindered his future actions, it was better not to be discovered by him, something important must happen here... Qiao Yunnian saw that Lin Manliu didn't reply in time, so he asked out loud: "Let's find a place for a while and take a look secretly?" ”。

"Don't... Since Yun Nian doesn't know, let's get out of here quickly to avoid more trouble," Lin Manliu continued to whisper.

"Listen to Brother Liu!" Qiao Yunnian nodded immediately. After the two glanced at each other, they were about to turn around and leave quickly, but at some point, there was already a poor scholar behind him, and it was naturally Ning Ke.

Ning Ke first looked at Lin Manliu with white eyes, and then turned his head and said, "Something that has no interest...".

After saying this, Ning Ke left...... This made Lin Manliu wonder, what the hell is going on with this person, he suddenly appeared, he didn't understand anything, and he had to say a word of ridicule, Lin Manliu looked at Ning Ke's figure who didn't enter the alley, and felt that he called Qiao Yunnian to go up together and ask, what Ning Ke has been thinking these days.

However, before the young man in the short shirt could inform Qiao Yunnian beside him, there was a noisy commotion behind him.

"I don't know if Elder Qiao is going back to the mountain this time to fight against the Evil Sect with the Sword Casting Peak...".

"Over the years, the Sword Forging Peak has recuperated, and now that Elder Qiao has returned, even if the Evil Sect arrives in Juzhou today, we will definitely kill it at will!"

"Elder Qiao has been away all these years, has he been quite comfortable...". ...... The words of the whiskers and horses kept coming from behind the two of them, as if the people at the mountain gate had all walked towards here, ready to walk towards the Sword Casting Peak Sword Pavilion.

Lin Manliu listened to the voice, obviously not far from the two of them, thinking that escaping at this time would attract even more attention, so he had to turn around and look at the group of people who were walking on the main road of Sword Casting Peak.

Qiao Yunnian saw Lin Manliu turn around, so he also turned around and looked at it together. I saw that among the people who came to the Sword Pavilion, there was an old man in coarse linen clothes walking in the middle of the crowd, even that Li Junce was walking beside him, and the rest of the people were all around the old man, and at the back were more than a dozen crop men who were also dressed in coarse linen, but each of them, both in terms of their body and the momentum emanating from their bodies, was far superior to these Sword Casting Peak disciples around.

After Lin Manliu and the others swept through, he looked at the old man again, and he was surprised to find that the person was not the old man he had met in the village near the Buried Sword Valley after he got lost.

At that time, there was indeed some suspicion and vigilance about the post house tea stall, but to involve the Casting Sword Peak, Lin Manliu had never thought of it, an elderly man who boiled tea on the side of the road was actually an elder among the famous and decent families?

That Elder Qiao also seemed to sense that someone was watching him, so he looked back, but when this Elder Qiao saw Lin Manliu, his face was happy, just under the praise of these Sword Casting Peak disciples, he didn't give a face at all, and he didn't even say a word, but when he found Lin Manliu, he began to laugh.

"Hey! You little baby, why are you here now" The smile on Elder Qiao's face became thicker and thicker, and he didn't care about the opinions of others, he directly broke away from the crowd and walked towards Lin Manliu.

The short-shirted young man knew badly, this person knew his real name, and he also knew that Ning Ke was not a man, if he was in this Sword Casting Peak in the future, he would definitely be involved by this person.

Lin Manliu immediately bowed and said, "The kid has seen Elder Qiao...", he was still thinking about what to do in the future, so as to avoid too much contact with this person.

"Harm! It's too much to call the elder, continue to call the old man! Well... Uncle can do it too! Elder Qiao walked in front of Lin Manliu, clapping his hands and then stomping his feet as he spoke.

The disciples of Sword Casting Peak behind him, including Li Junce, couldn't help but start looking at each other, how could the short-shirted young man in front of him, who was in the limelight in the martial arts arena, know even Elder Qiao, who had not returned to the mountain for a long time...

“... Uncle Qiao? The short-shirted young man asked out loud with a pretended puzzlement, and from this Elder Qiao's words, he had no ill will towards him for the time being.

"It's better to call it uncle, right? We're not that old," Elder Qiao first touched his gray beard, and then scratched the little hair left on his head.

"That's... How is Uncle Joe? Lin Manliu continued to ask.

"Hmm... It's called uncle! Add a surname or a life," Elder Qiao nodded and said, affirming the title of the young man in front of him, and claiming to let him take his surname.

"Uncle..."The short-shirted young man had to obey the arrangement and shouted, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, although this Elder Qiao had spoken like this before, he had made himself so uncomfortable now.

"And a doll? Why didn't I see your uncle" Elder Qiao stretched out his head and began to look around, but he didn't look at Lin Manliu who was standing still.

"Brother Ning injured his leg and foot some time ago, and he is still recuperating, I hope the uncle will forgive me..."Lin Manliu had to continue to speak.

"This little baby is a poor scholar who can't study well, why did he hurt his leg, I can go and help see it another day, yes, you little baby didn't say it, why are you here" Elder Qiao smacked his lips and said.

"Some time ago, I was invited by Li Xian, so I went to the peak to be a guest for a while," the short-shirted young man replied respectfully.

"Brother Liu, what are you?" Qiao Yunnian watched the conversation between the two, and interrupted in a little confusion.

Elder Qiao listened to Qiao Yunnian's words, and then turned his head to look at the short boy who wanted to be shorter, he looked at Qiao Yunnian and looked a little distracted, and his eyes began to tremble slightly a few times.

Isn't this uncle having something to do with Qiao Yunnian... Lin Manliu immediately said out loud: "Uncle, this is Yun Nian."

"Yun Nian...," Elder Qiao shouted, but then he stopped his emotions and changed his old naughty appearance again.

I saw that this Elder Qiao tilted his mouth and turned his head to look somewhere, so he looked at Qiao Yunnian with his back hand and said mockingly: "Your waste father has some success now, ha, in the past few years, only these days have done some right things, I should have handed over the peak to Jun Ce to take care of, hard work is hard work, you should go out to run around, tired outside is the best."

"What are you talking about, old man!" Qiao Yunnian heard someone scolding his father, and immediately retorted.

"Yun Nian is rude!" Lin Manliu hurriedly spoke, because he could see from the eyes of this Elder Qiao that these words were not what the uncle was thinking, but they were completely for the people behind him led by Li Junce.

At this time, Elder Qiao was waiting with his back to Li Junce and the others, he did not continue to look at Qiao Yunnian, but looked at Lin Manliu, and made a color towards the short-shirted young man, Lin Manliu immediately understood, so he saluted him respectfully, and pulled Qiao Yunnian to prepare to stay away from here.

"The kid will retire first, and then chat with the uncle in the future, so as not to disturb the uncle and Li Xianfeng to discuss important matters."

"Go". ...... Lin Manliu dragged Qiao Yunnian, who still wanted to continue to refute that Elder Qiao, had already walked out of two or three streets and alleys, and was already extremely far away from the main road of Sword Casting Peak, and Qiao Yunnian was still staring at the location of the Sword Pavilion, where from today onwards there was not only the annoying old fox, but also the crazy old man who mocked his father when he met.

"Yun Nian, the previous words were not what the uncle thought" Lin Manliu saw that the young man was still restless, and immediately said softly.

These days, no matter where he and Qiao Yunnian are in Sword Casting Peak, there will be eyeliner on the side, which makes Lin Manliu have no chance to explain to Qiao Yunnian at all.

"Even if Brother Liu knows him, but I have never seen this crazy old man, why did he scold me at the first sight when he saw me" Qiao Yunnian looked at Lin Manliu with a slight cry.

"There are many people, and some words may not be said to you and me," the short-shirted boy explained. Qiao Yunnian was silent, suppressed his emotions for a while, and then nodded towards Lin Manliu and said, "Listen.. Listen to Brother Liu".

"If this matter is okay, we will go back first, and watch me go to the courtyard to show you a monkey sword technique!" Lin Manliu saw that Qiao Yunnian's mood was gradually stabilizing, so he said with a smile.

Qiao Yunnian snorted, and followed Lin Manliu back to the small courtyard where he lived. Several Sword Casting Peaks in the shadows stalked at each other and gestured to each other, one of them evacuated this place and ran in the direction of Sword Pavilion, while the rest of them continued to quietly follow Lin Manliu and Qiao Yunnian.

It wasn't until they watched the two of them enter the courtyard together that these Sword Casting Peak stalkers dispersed, some returned to their original positions, and some continued to stay near the small courtyard where Lin Manliu and Ning Ke lived, keeping an eye on the movements in the courtyard at any time.

Lin Manliu, who pushed the door in, saw Ning Ke sitting on the stone steps playing with a folding fan at first sight. The young man in the short shirt was just about to speak to the poor scholar, but before he could raise his hand, he saw Ning Ke put away the folding fan, got up and opened the door of his house and walked in.

What the hell is going on with this Ning Ke... When the door of Ning Ke's house was about to close, two words suddenly came out of it: "Know".

As soon as the two words came out, Lin Manliu also understood, Ning Ke was telling himself that he knew that the old man in the village near the Buried Sword Valley was the elder of this Sword Casting Peak.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong?" Qiao Yunnian looked at Ning Ke's closed door and said.

"I don't know..."Lin Manliu also looked at the door of the house and said helplessly.

"Why are you two chirping, are you quarrelling?" Qiao Yunnian said unprecedentedly. Lin Manliu was about to speak to stop it, when he heard the sound of porcelain breaking from Ning Ke's house.

This is probably more infuriating...
