The pet bird is called the Bi-Wing Bird, and its function is called "Heart of Harmony". By activating this function, Xun Wu You can observe any movement within a ten-li radius through the Bi-Wing Bird's eyes.
It's like having a high-powered telescope,
And since birds are everywhere, it won't attract any attention. It's perfect for spying on beautiful women bathing… er, monitoring enemy movements. It's not totally useless, but it's not incredibly useful either. The Bi-Wing Bird will die if it goes beyond ten-li from Xun Wu You.
Ten-li is actually not very far. Xiantian masters start with three to four-li, and top-level Xiantian masters can easily travel twenty to thirty-li.
Overall, it's better than nothing.
Xun Wu You hummed a pop song, a colorful little bird following him as they walked further and further away.
He hadn't done his daily sign-in task, but that wasn't urgent. Xun Wu You planned to get a good night's sleep, to recharge before engaging in a battle of wits with the system.
The moonlight was like water, foreshadowing a bright and sunny tomorrow. Tomorrow was also the day he would go to the Youjie to dig up bones.
After learning about the past lives of the Rusty Sword's previous owners from the system, he was very interested in the "Sword Demon Curse" that Old Ghost had mentioned. This curse might be an evil god curse.
Even a Near God might not be able to resist it. Xun Wu You was self-aware, and knew that he had to go to the Youjie.
He passed through a small town. Most people were asleep, and the whole town was dark. He found a small inn with a kerosene lamp still lit.
Xun Wu You ordered two jugs of wine and wanted a private room, but the innkeeper told him that they were full.
He didn't insist, and instead took the two jugs of wine and sat by the window to drink alone. Perhaps nobody knows that the wine in the Pili world tastes the same as cocktails.
Xun Wu You considered himself able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. No wonder so many people are addicted to alcohol. There are very few people who get drunk and act crazy.
After finishing a jug of wine, Xun Wu You sniffed the air and heard scattered footsteps outside.
He glanced up, and two men and two women came into view.
Both women looked to be in their late teens, one more beautiful than the other. The men were one big and one small. The younger one was eleven or twelve years old, and the older one was in his twenties.
Xun Wu You took two glances and recognized them all. The man was Gu Xing Lei, one of the top five marksmen. His expression was detached, because he had endured hardship since he was young and had a sense of tragedy about him.
There was also Hong Chen Xue, whom he had met once before. This girl made Xun Wu You want to fall in love. It's just that Hong Chen Xue didn't have a good impression of Xun Wu You.
The remaining man and woman were siblings, and they were also friends of Gu Xing Lei.
The woman was Hua Zhi and the boy was Hua Di. This brother and sister were ordinary people, but their later experiences were tragic, and they were executed by Yu Liang Huang, the dead extra.
"Boss, two rooms!"
Gu Xing Lei couldn't speak, so Hong Chen Xue arranged for them.
The boss yawned, "Full, you can sleep on the tables if you want."
Hong Chen Xue frowned. She and Gu Xing Lei were fine, they could sleep anywhere.
Hua Zhi and Hua Di were ordinary people, so they couldn't be careless about their sleep.
Especially Hua Zhi, who had been frail since she was young, she couldn't be careless about her sleep.
"Sister Chen Xue, it's okay." Hua Zhi's pale face showed a touch of considerate smile, "I often rest my head on the table when I'm tired of reading."
She said this because she didn't want to embarrass Hong Chen Xue. Finding a place to stay at night was not easy.
"Two tables together, isn't that also a bed?" Xun Wu You greeted with a beaming smile, "We meet again, let me introduce myself, my name is Xun Wu You!"
Hong Chen Xue frowned even more. Why did she keep running into this person?
She ignored Xun Wu You's idea. It was fine for a man, but Hua Zhi, a young girl, sleeping in a crowded hall, wasn't appropriate at all.
Hua Zhi looked at Xun Wu You and asked curiously, "Sister Chen Xue, are you friends with him?"
"Yes!"
"No!"
Xun Wu You and Hong Chen Xue answered in unison, but with completely opposite meanings.
Hua Zhi was stunned. It seemed like they knew each other, but not to the point of being friends.
Hmm, that big brother was wearing a Confucian robe, although it was a little old, it couldn't hide his noble and imposing demeanor. In the Confucian sect, where talented people abound, he must be a dragon amongst men.
Xun Wu You hadn't washed his hair in days, he was dusty and tired from fighting for days. He was not a stickler for details, as long as there was something to cover his shame, he didn't care if people thought he looked terrible.
Hong Chen Xue's attitude made Xun Wu You feel resentful. Why was she ignoring him? The little girl next to her was clearly smitten with him, this is what's called "a discerning eye"!
The eleven-year-old boy was carefree and had fallen asleep on the table. Gu Xing Lei sat by the door, his eyes alert and vigilant, as if he was afraid of someone chasing him.
Hong Chen Xue had a strong prejudice against Xun Wu You.
In her opinion, Xun Wu You was a hooligan wearing a Confucian coat. She was happy to see him rob Yu Liang Huang, but it was too much for him to be leering and smiling like a lecher.
Thinking of Yu Liang Huang, Hong Chen Xue's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked toward Xun Wu You. But the words got stuck in her throat. She had just said they weren't friends, how could she have the face to ask for help?
The wind and sand swept in from outside, and leaves swirled and floated in the air. Dozens of figures appeared on the street, with agile movements, the leader wearing golden armor and holding a six-zhang long spear.
They were all Xiantian masters.
Gu Xing Lei had the alertness of a wild beast. His whole body changed, and he quickly removed the gun case from his back. A silvery white long spear, radiating a heavy and evil aura, was in his hand.
The Hundred Step Silver Evil Spear! A famous weapon from the Xianmo series.
Swish!
Gu Xing Lei swung the spear backward, leaving several large characters on the ground.
"The pursuers are here, run!"
Hong Chen Xue's face instantly changed, her face flushed with a morbid red.
Xun Wu You raised an eyebrow and asked Hong Chen Xue, "Was it Yu Liang Huang who injured you?"
In the Xianmo side story, there weren't many who could injure Hong Chen Xue, and even fewer had a grudge against her. Yu Liang Huang was one of them!
After carefully considering the original plot, he suddenly understood.
Yu Liang Huang wanted to frame Life Practice Students and Hong Chen Xue. He used the Heavenly Emperor Spear Technique and the Jade Seal to create wounds on the body of Gu Xing Lei's friend and blamed it on Hong Chen Xue and the Practice Student.
Gu Xing Lei defeated the Practice Student and discovered that the weapon used for the wound was wrong. He continued to investigate, rescued Hong Chen Xue who was injured by Yu Liang Huang, and escaped with Hua Zhi and his brother.
Hong Chen Xue nodded. The situation was urgent, and she asked for help, "Gu Xing Lei is injured. Could you please lend a hand?"
She had seen the duel between Xun Wu You and Yu Liang Huang. Yu Liang Huang, one of the top marksmen, was completely no match for the person in front of her.
If Xun Wu You intervened, they would surely be able to escape.
Yu Liang Huang, along with more than thirty Xiantian masters, was determined to capture Gu Xing Lei and Hong Chen Xue.
They had surrounded the inn. Yu Liang Huang, known as the "King of Guns", sneered coldly, "Little bastard, do you think you can run away?"
Gu Xing Lei, whose body was cold and whose gun was even colder, pointed the sharp tip of the Hundred Step Silver Evil Spear at Yu Liang Huang, ready for a desperate battle.
"You arrogant thing, you're just like your dead father." Yu Liang Huang sneered, "Descendant of the Cambrian period, I will send you to the West tonight!"
Actually, Gu Xing Lei was also a descendant of the Elves. After the Jingyou War, his father Cambrian period took Gu Xing Lei to the Shenzhou of the Kuijing and changed their names.
The Elves are divided into seven branches, and Gu Xing Lei belonged to the Xuan branch. After Cambrian period's death, Gu Xing Lei became the master of the Xuan branch. The person who killed his father was the one in front of him, Yu Liang Huang.
Gu Xing Lei, who could not speak, turned all his anger and sorrow into strength. The Hundred Step Silver Evil Spear sensed the anger of its owner, and a ghastly white flame burned at the tip of the spear.
In terms of true skill, Yu Liang Huang, who had spent money to become stronger, was defeated by Gu Xing Lei several times.
But Yu Liang Huang was not a person who stuck to the rules. He was not Gu Xing Lei's opponent in a one-on-one fight, so he decided to play dirty, because he had more people on his side.
The injuries on Gu Xing Lei's body were from the many times they had fought.
Xun Wu You didn't say a word, casually drinking his wine, indifferent to the tense atmosphere outside.
Seeing this, Hong Chen Xue's heart sank. Yes, why would he help them?
A bitter smile appeared on Hong Chen Xue's lips. She hadn't given him a good face in the two times they had met. Now that she was in trouble and needed help, she had to humbly ask for it. Even she felt ashamed of this behavior.
The innkeeper woke up from his deep sleep. He saw Gu Xing Lei blocking the door with his spear, and outside was a group of menacing assassins in black. He yawned, nonchalantly and calmly, and went back to sleep.
The peripheral nerves of ordinary people in the Pili world are strong to a certain extent.
They are used to this kind of fighting, they can't control it, no one listens to them, if you want to fight, fight, just don't tear down the shop.
Xun Wu You sometimes wonders if the inns in the Pili world have activity funds, because if the tables and chairs were destroyed, wouldn't that be a loss? Calling the police is also an option, right?
