After almost a month, the senior brother Li Encheng finally returned to the sect. brought the news that Gao Yuanshan had been waiting for.

According to Gao Yuanshan's explanation, Li Encheng, who was in the dust, did not go from the main gate, but quietly came to Gao Yuanshan's cabinet from the side gate without anyone knowing. Li Encheng told that although the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce did not help find the woman surnamed Liu, it helped bring the woman's handwritten letter and attached a quill to the letter.

Li Encheng handed over the letter, the talisman jade used as a token and the quill to Gao Yuanshan. Gao Yuanshan read the content of the woman's letter, and his face, which had been gloomy for the past few months, finally eased a little.

The woman said in the letter that she was very worried about Su Mu's injury, but now she can't pull away because of some very important facts. But he has already helped Su Mu find a very powerful doctor, and I believe that he can cure Su Mu's meridians. The quill is a token of the healer. A sketch map of the doctor's location is then attached. I will come to visit you when I have time later.

There is a chance to heal the meridians! This is Gao Yuanshan's only concern.

The place mentioned in this letter is called Butterfly Valley, which is not particularly far from the cold mountain. It can be reached in a week's journey. Gao Yuanshan didn't want to wait for a moment, if it weren't for the affairs in the sect, he would even want to set off immediately.

Gao Yuanshan looked at Li Encheng in front of him, the young man under the age of seventeen still had a tiredness on his face at the moment, and it was conceivable that he must have rushed back as soon as he got the news. The talent who was supposed to retreat to welcome the clan assembly gave up his own possibility for the sake of the sect, which made Gao Yuanshan also very emotional.

Gao Yuanshan patted Li Encheng's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you've worked hard all the way." ”

"It's not hard, Master. How is Senior Brother Su Mu's situation now?" asked Li Encheng with great concern.

"The internal injury has recovered, and the mental state is ......" Gao Yuanshan thought of Su Mu and couldn't help but sigh.

Lee Eun-sung was also silent. This is a natural chosen talent who can't give birth to a trace of jealousy, Li Encheng really doesn't want to see him fall like a meteor.

"By the way, Eun Cheng, how about the other mission I sent you a message earlier?"

"Back to the head, Eun Cheng went down the mountain this time and stayed at the inn near the Kyoto Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and did not encounter anything unusual. The disciples of the sect who have also traveled or traveled around Kyoto are all well. Li Encheng said with a serious expression.

"Is it really a coincidence?" Gao Yuanshan said in his heart.

At this time, Li Mengru suddenly pushed the door in, and obviously, Gao Yuanshan also informed him of the news of Li Encheng's return.

"Encheng, you're back!" Li Mengru was a little excited, and hugged Li Encheng tightly, that day things happened suddenly, he had too many things to say in his heart but didn't have time to speak, and at this time he was also full of thoughts.

"Master, Eun Cheng is back, which makes Master worried. Li Encheng smiled faintly, still with a calm and breezy face.

"You've worked hard, you shouldn't have to go out again when you come back this time, right?

"Haha junior brother, there is no task, don't worry, let Encheng stay in the sect and practice well. Gao Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Master Xie. Li Encheng clasped his fists and saluted, "By the way, the head master, the disciple wants to go and see Senior Brother Su Mu, where is he now?"

"At this time, he and Otowa should practice swords in the back mountain. Gao Yuanshan said, "Okay, you go and tell him that you want to go out for medical treatment, and we will leave today." ”

"Yes, Eun Sung retired. With that, Li Encheng left the house.

"Today, is Senior Brother in such a hurry?" asked Li Mengru.

"Since the accident that day, Ruan Qi has been too cautious. When he met me, he looked normal, and he didn't have any weakness or dodging at all. The behavior against my disciples at Yamashita has also stopped, which makes me faintly uneasy. Brother, have you found anything?"

"Not really, but I have a spy tell you that Ruan Qishen seems to have some contacts with some unknown Western Regions and Northern Regions clans, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. ”

"Western Alien ...... Northern Regions Clan ......" Gao Yuanshan frowned, since the defeat in the battle with the Northern Regions Qingyan Kingdom Fifteen years ago, the national strength of the Tunan Kingdom has been declining day by day, and now there are two different races with sensitive identities in the territory, which is obviously not a good sign.

"Whether it's true or not, I'm going to leave the sect for a while right now, if he really has something in mind, this should be a great opportunity. You have to be careful. "High mountain road.

"I understand, senior brother, rest assured. ”

On the other hand, as Gao Yuanshan said, Li Encheng did find Otowa and Su Mu who were practicing swords in the back mountain. Li Encheng did not immediately step forward, but watched from a distance for a while. At this time, Su Mu was instructing three of the forty-eight styles of the Otowa Intermediate Sword Move. Li Encheng has already learned these three styles, but watching the posture of Otoyu swinging the sword is not much different from what he has learned. After taking a closer look, I realized that this was a move that had been modified by Su Mu, and many of the small details had been improved, and the overall feeling looked smoother.

Li Encheng himself once instructed the disciples of the outer sect to practice swords, and he had some impressions of the little junior sister Otoha, about a year ago, Otoyu was still a girl who was disadvantageous to the basic moves, and the talent of kendo was obviously not high, but now he can master the improved mid-level moves, and the reason for this is obviously the guidance of the little junior brother Su Mu.

Not only is he superior in understanding, but he can also guide others, the little junior brother is really a genius, Li Encheng sighed.

"Senior Brother, you're back!" Su Mu, who had long felt the presence of Senior Brother, initially focused on Otohana who was practicing his sword, and did not distinguish the aura too carefully. Now that Yin Yu has finished practicing one move, Su Mu quickly discovered Li Encheng.

"Well, I'm back. Li Encheng, who was discovered, simply stepped forward generously. "Senior Brother Su Mu, I am really curious about these moves you taught my little sister to practice, can you also give me a click?"

Since he had admired Su Mu's talent and understanding from the bottom of his heart, Li Encheng did not squirm and directly asked Su Mu for guidance.

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, but thinking that this was the straightforward and sincere character of the senior brother, he smiled and agreed. Seeing that Su Mu had received such recognition from the senior brother, Otoha on the side was also very happy.

In this way, under Su Mu's guidance, Li Encheng and Otoyu went through every mid-level move in one afternoon. Su Mu also put forward suggestions and ideas for improvement for each move. Many of Su Mu's ideas sound a bit fanciful at first glance, but after careful consideration, they can't help but be amazed, and they can be said to be breakthrough insights. Let Li Encheng, who has good talent, also chew more.

The sky was getting dark, and Li Encheng, who had practiced a little hard after a tiring journey, gasped and said, "The little junior brother is really an unborn genius, and Encheng has been taught." ”

"Senior brother, Su Mu doesn't dare to be, just some of his own understanding, just discuss it with each other. Su Mu hurriedly waved his hand and replied.

The tone is not pretentious, and you can hear sincerity.

Yes, if the little junior brother can't be cured this time, he can't climb to a higher realm, so what's there to pretend about?

Thinking of this, Li Encheng told Su Mu about the tasks assigned to him by the master in charge, as well as the reply from the woman surnamed Liu. and told him that the head of the family planned to take Su Mu to set off as soon as possible.

In order not to disappoint Su Mu, Li Encheng didn't say too much to Su Mu, but only told him that it was a woman surnamed Liu who found a famous doctor and said that she could help take a look, so she went to try her luck. So although Su Mu was very grateful to his master and brother and this woman who had never met, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Although the situation in the past few months has not completely made Su Mu lose hope, the child who is less than ten years old has silently prepared for the worst.

After hearing this, Otoyu immediately said that he wanted to accompany Su Mu to go with him, but what he didn't expect was rejected by Su Mu.

"Why don't you let me go with you?" Otowa was angry.

Su Mu shook his head, these days, his little junior sister has been by his side to take care of himself, so Su Mu has felt full of warmth, he knows that this journey through mountains and rivers is a bit hard and to treat diseases, he really doesn't want to drag the little junior sister down and work hard together. What's more, if he is not cured, he really can't control his emotions, and he doesn't want to infect his negative emotions to his little sister anymore and let her share them with him.

So Su Mu had no choice but to tell her that if she went, she would not be able to concentrate on sword practice, and asked her to use this time to practice sword well and wait for her to return from her injury to practice with her.

Nine-year-old Otowa cried in the arms of ten-year-old Su Mu, which was the saddest and sadest cry Su Mu could remember. Li Encheng, who was on the side, also consciously stepped aside.

So, under the watchful eyes of the whole sect, Su Mu stepped out of the mountain gate for the first time in his memory.

There is sadness, anticipation, hope, contempt, and disdain in this gaze.

There are Otoha's red eyes and nose crying, and there is also the encouragement from the resolute gaze of the senior brother Lee Eun-sung.

There are too many, too many expressions that Su Mu will not forget.

In fact, for this trip, Su Mu still has some expectations in his heart. I hope that maybe this healer can give himself a miracle, and even if he fails, he can also look forward to a different scenery and different people along the way. After all, children are always curious about the outside world.

Although Otowa's absence did make him a little lonely.

On the way, Su Mu also asked Gao Yuanshan about the reason for this trip. Gao Yuanshan briefly explained to Su Mu that the next was a doctor who was introduced by a woman he knew. Su Mu wanted to know the woman's name, and Gao Yuanshan said that he only knew the woman's surname Liu, and he had just had a relationship. Su Mu had no choice but to give up.

There is kindness in return, Su Mu keeps in mind everyone who has helped him.

If you have the opportunity, be sure to thank you in person in the future. Su Mu thought.

Whether it can be cured or not.
