Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 509 What a simpleton who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment!

"Alright, hurry up and go. Those young masters weren't laughing at you; they meant no harm."

Just then, a gentle-looking young man stepped forward to smooth things over. He tugged at the boy's arm, signaling him to leave quickly.

"Forget it, it's not your fault, it's Third Brother Nian's fault!" The young boy glanced at Gu Yuanen and the others, looking dejected, but he immediately raised his voice for the second half of his sentence, clearly dissatisfied with being slapped on the head.

After saying that, he stared at the young man called Brother Nian San and said, "I'll save the treasure for Nian Xiaobao when I find it, not for you, hmph!"

After saying that, he waved the small curved knife in his hand and ran forward.

"What's going on?" Gu Yuanen couldn't help but ask the gentle young man. The young man cupped his hands in greeting, smiled, and quickly walked away.

Only Nian San was left standing there, looking grim and somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyue touched her chin and muttered, "Xiao Bao...who is it this time?"

She and Mu Yun Chu exchanged a glance and raised an eyebrow.

After walking for another half hour, the two groups continued walking one after the other, keeping to themselves and remaining relatively peaceful.

Suddenly, the sounds of fierce fighting came from the dense forest ahead. The clash of weapons was very loud, indicating that there were quite a few people involved in the fight.

Gu Qingyue and the others stopped in their tracks. Mu Yun Chu gave Mu Dong a wink, and Mu Dong immediately flew forward.

The group ahead of them naturally heard it too, and the fastest runner was the squinty-eyed boy.

"Nian Chengqiao!" Nian Sange immediately shouted, watching him disappear quickly into the dense forest beside him, and couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.

It's very much like the kind of parent who can't control their unruly child.

Gu Qingyue found it amusing. It turned out that the squinty-eyed boy was named Nian Chengqiao, and he didn't seem to be an easy person to deal with.

If she were that Nian San Ge, she'd probably have a headache too.

Fifteen minutes later, someone returned.

It was Mu Dong, and Mu Dong was carrying someone else in his hand—Nian Chengqiao!

Everyone:······

"What happened?" Nian Sange's voice trembled with nervousness.

Are you injured?

Mu Dong didn't say a word, handed Nian Chengqiao to the person on the other side, and then flew over.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow and saw that everyone had gathered around, while Nian Chengqiao, with his narrow eyes and downcast expression, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"What happened? Tell us quickly!" As soon as Mu Dong arrived, Zhang Xubai and Qin Fang became excited.

Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Mu Dong quickly spoke up, "It's the Hacha tribe. They got into a fight with a young master. The young master brought quite a few people with him. The reason is unknown, but the fight is very intense."

Several people looked at each other.

"What is that young master like?"

Gu Yuanen thought for a moment and asked.

Mu Dong waited for the question to be asked, and he immediately relaxed his brows and eyes, "He is one of Prince Jing's men, named Pei Qi."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu's lips curled into a cold smile. "He's arrived?"

"Reporting to Master, we have arrived. Although he was disguised, one of his men called him Seventh Master Pei, which I overheard from nearby. The man who called him was stabbed to death by him with a sword."

Gu Qingyue: ...That's ruthless!

"But his name is Pei Qi? What is his relationship with Pei Jiu?"

Gu Qingyue immediately thought of Pei Jiu.

She remembered that the person captured by their Moon Shadow Pavilion in the mountains near Qihe Town was the leader of the Fifth Prince Mu Yunjing's secret guards, named Pei Jiu, who was very skilled.

But after they handed the person over to Mu Yun Chu, she never asked about what happened after that, and she didn't know if Pei Jiu was still alive.

"They are fellow disciples with a very good relationship. I'm afraid they came to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice this time... because of me."

Mu Yun Chu spoke casually, and after finishing, she gave Gu Qing Yue a deep look.

Gu Qingyue was confused. "Are they here to avenge Pei Jiu?"

Gu Qingyue was unaware that before leaving the capital, she rode with Gu Yuanen to Ci'en Temple. When they passed the Shili Pavilion outside the city, the person she spoke with Prince Jing in the pavilion was Pei Qi.

Moreover, he was indeed there for Mu Yun Chu.

Because, from beginning to end, Prince Jing not only wanted Mu Yun Chu's life, but also Gu Qing Yue herself.

Only if Mu Yun Chu dies will he have a legitimate chance to obtain Gu Qing Yue.

Mu Yun Chu naturally guessed this.

But Gu Qingyue was a bit oblivious and didn't really think of that, so she didn't know.

She thought that Mu Yun Chu meant that the person was causing trouble for Mu Yun Chu to avenge Pei Jiu.

"It's alright, we're here to avenge Pei Jiu. Since we're here, let's settle things here."

After Mu Yun Chu finished speaking, she looked at the group of people in front of her and asked, "What's going on over there?"

"Reporting to Master, the boy just went to find a Hacha tribesman and started a fight. Another person knocked him away, and it was I who saved him."

Mu Dong's lips curved into a smile, clearly indicating that he was in a very good mood.

Gu Qingyue's eyes widened. "Is he going to settle a personal score right now?"

What a simpleton who's so quick to judge right and wrong!

“It does look like it,” Mu Dong nodded.

"So, should we deal with Pei Qi now?" Gu Qingyue turned to Mu Yun Chu and asked.

Mu Yun Chu's lips curled up, "Then... Madam, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up. Was this a plan to deal with Pei Qi?

"If you're going to deal with him, what's your excuse? You can't just reveal your identity," Gu Qingyue asked curiously.

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but stroke her long hair. "Madam, have you forgotten our relationship with the Hacha tribe?"

Gu Qingyue was stunned. That's right! This couple from Meilin Manor were the saviors of the Nahacha tribe chief!

It would be quite reasonable to save the Hacha people again now!

At least we have a deep connection.

Before long, Gu Qingyue and her group flew away from their original spot and headed towards the direction of the battle.

“Let’s go too,” Nian Chengqiao said, seeing that Gu Yuanen and the others had gone to watch the fight. He wanted to go as well.

Although he had just been beaten up by Wan Jinyou from the Hacha tribe, he was not convinced!

Na Wan Jinyou was the youngest grandson of the Hacha tribe chief, and he was the most arrogant and unruly.

He had just entered the dense forest, originally intending to watch the excitement, but upon seeing Wan Jinyou, he couldn't resist...

He had seized the opportunity to attack, but unexpectedly, he was beaten up by his father, who was also the clan chief's son.

The crucial point is that he actually threw himself out of the way. If it weren't for the young man in black saving him, he would probably have broken his arms and legs by now.

Seeing that Gu Yuanen and the others had gone, Nian Chengqiao was naturally eager to try again.

But before he could take a step, Nian Sange blocked his way, saying, "You're not allowed to go. Stay here obediently, or I'll go back and tell your father."

Nianchengqiao: ! !

Meanwhile, Gu Qingyue and her companions were stunned by what they saw as soon as they entered the woods.

There were fewer people on both sides than she had expected, about seventeen or eighteen on each side. At this moment, they were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, and their attacks were extremely sharp and ruthless.
