The sunlight was just right. The forest was filled with a thin layer of moisture. ”The fragrance of flowers and grass mixed together, giving one a refreshing feeling.
Ye Mo was cleaning the house. Liu Yiyi was sitting alone on the hillside, looking around. It seemed like she knew all the plants here. When he touched them, they were new and unfamiliar. Liu Yiyi felt a slight sense of familiarity towards this place, as well as a sense of being unable to blend in. The combination of these two feelings confused her. Liu Yiyi put her hands on her cheeks and fell into deep thought.
Not far away, a thrush bird caught his eye. Liu Yiyi's anxious thoughts became much better as she watched it freely travel through the forest. As if it knew that someone was observing it, the thrush purposely circled around a few times to head towards the top of the mountain. Liu Yiyi turned her head to look, and her eyes met the sunlight. He felt dizzy as he saw a young man practicing martial arts on the top of the mountain. His clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking closely to his solid body. The thrush bird landed on his thick shoulders and chirped non-stop. The youth gently caressed the back of the bird as he spoke to it in a low voice. His thrush seemed to have understood his words and he obediently fell asleep on the boy's shoulder. The teenager was also very caring. He stood there motionlessly, afraid that he would wake up the bird.
After a long while, the teenager remained motionless. Liu Yiyi found this interesting and wanted to see what the teenager looked like. She was afraid that she would disturb his rest, so she didn't turn around. At this moment, an old man came from afar. The old man walked quickly and arrived beside the young man in the blink of an eye. He grabbed the thrush and squeezed it to death. Liu Yiyi exclaimed. When the old man heard the commotion, he turned his head. It was in front of Liu Yiyi. It raised its palm and hit Liu Yiyi's left shoulder.
Liu Yiyi's shoulder hurt and she opened her eyes. It was Ye Mo Han patting her shoulder. Furthermore, everything that had just happened was just a dream. However, Liu Yiyi's heart was still pounding when she thought of the ferocious expression of the old man in the dream.
”What's wrong? You don't look too good. ” Ye Mo Han asked with concern.
”I've been on the road for the past few days. I might be a bit tired.” Liu Yiyi smiled apologetically.
”Go take a rest. The room has already been tidied up. You can sleep in the other room.” Ye Mo Han helped Liu Yiyi up.
The sound of a huge rock colliding was heard from above. A man nine feet tall with broad shoulders ran toward them. When he reached the mountainside, Ye Wen Han looked at this person carefully. The beard on his square face was as hard as steel, his arms were bare, and his muscles were knotted.
”What are you two little kids sneaking around my territory for?” The big fellow's voice was loud like a bell. When he spoke, his eyebrows were raised, and he exuded an imposing aura even though he was not angry.
”Your territory?” ”Ye Wen looked around with a cold smile.” Your name isn't written here either. ”
The big fellow glared at Ye Mo Han and said seriously, ”This Hidden Tiger Mountain was lost to me two years ago by Sun Muxia. This is the territory of Wu Dang, their leader said that it is mine, do you think this is mine? ”
Ye Mo Han and Liu Yi Yi could not help but find it funny when they saw the big and sturdy man's true appearance. Subduing Tiger Mountain was a region under the jurisdiction of the Wudang Sect and could not be cultivated, so there were only a few families scattered around the mountain foot. Usually, there were not many people around, so this burly man had made some kind of bet with Sun Muxia and won this mountain. However, in a place like this where there was no advantage at all, no one would ask who lived there. This big man wanted the Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect, Sun Muxia, to admit that the Hidden Tiger Mountain was his, so it was quite interesting.
Ye Jianhan deliberately wanted to tease him to see if he was really interesting. With a stern expression, he said, ”That's strange. Two years ago, Sun Muxia personally admitted that this mountain belongs to me.”
”Sun Muxia actually dared to go back on his word.” The big man let out a strange cry and then shook his head. No, Sun Muxia sent me away before it was too late, how could I give you Tiger Subduing Mountain? ”Brat, quickly tell me the truth. Otherwise, I, Zhao Binglong, will smash your head into pieces with my palm.”
