"Old buddy, long time no see. You're here tonight for that flute, right?" The crazy old man laughed oddly, as if he already knew who had arrived.
Only Li Rui sat there in a daze, his eyelids never blinking. He understood that things were getting weirder and didn't even know what he was doing...
At the same time, the crazy old man awkwardly smiled, saying nothing, calmly stroking his beard, truly giving off the effect of a "reclusive hermit," which made Li Rui laugh on the side.
Then the white-haired old man walked over to Li Rui, who couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly. He instinctively wanted to step back; he didn't know why, but a strong sense of pressure made him very uncomfortable, even feeling a bit breathless.
"My original name is Huo Ran, just call me Old Man Huo. This guy is too annoying; if I hadn't seen you here, I would have really wanted to punch him."
If such words were spoken within the Tai Xuan Sect, someone would be in trouble. Li Rui knew the crazy old man's temper well enough; it was just that he hadn't seen him take action! And now the crazy old man looked so proud, as if he could defeat this Old Man Huo.
However, it seemed they didn't want anything in particular; it felt like this Old Man Huo was here specifically for Li Rui, though it was unclear what he intended to express.
"Take out the flute in your hand."
"Are you going to come and snatch my stuff?" Li Rui chuckled.
"That depends on whether you take it out first."
"What if I don't take it out?"
"Then it won't be up to you."
As soon as the words fell, a "Black Tiger Heart Extraction" was unleashed, and the palm wind was about to reach Li Rui's chest.
Little did they know that in the next moment, the crazy old man stood beside Li Rui, slightly puffing out his chest and pushing Old Man Huo back a few steps.
"It seems you've made some progress recently!"
Immediately, the two quickly became entangled in combat. From Li Rui's perspective, it was easy to see that their fighting styles bore some resemblance, likely stemming from the same school of thought. They exchanged attacks and defenses with precision! It was evident that both were deliberately showcasing their skills, wanting to demonstrate their progress over the years.
To others, it might seem impressive, but Li Rui knew that the two old men were just showing off through him. He really couldn't understand their childish behavior.
"Are you two done? I'm not an idiot; I can see what you want," Li Rui said with a calm smile.
Li Rui picked up the horizontal flute he had obtained, but unexpectedly, a dark shadow flickered behind him.
Li Rui furrowed his brows tightly, inserting the flute into his waist and swiftly executing a grappling move to pin the intruder to the ground.
"Ouch! You hurt me."
This...
"Rui Xi? What are you doing here?" Li Rui couldn't help but ask, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion. It felt particularly strange, and he was frustrated that he hadn't noticed her arrival.
"Why can't I be here? Aren't we friends? Aren't you going to let me go? I just wanted to give you a little surprise; is it really necessary to react like this?"
Li Rui awkwardly smiled, not expecting the situation to evolve into this. He truly couldn't comprehend it.
"Alright! You two old men actually want to target my disciple; just watch me..."
Before the crazy old man's words could finish, Rui Xi suddenly appeared in front of Li Rui, her right hand unexpectedly slipping into his waist.
At that moment, Li Rui's face turned beet red. Wasn't this a move meant for men? Could she be a man? That shouldn't be possible! Just looking at her Adam's apple...
"Don't look at me like that; it's so embarrassing!"
Li Rui began to feel that tonight's events were becoming increasingly bizarre. He had no idea what they were trying to convey, but it was turning out terribly.
"Listen up, I'll tell you this: if you want that horizontal flute, the condition is to marry her."
This...
Li Rui was once again stunned in place. What is going on? Is this a forced marriage? I have never been threatened, and what do those two old ones mean by this?
Although Li Rui had a flirtatious mindset, he thought of Ruo Xin and ultimately lacked the courage to act on it. Moreover, in front of him stood Shibo and Shibo's daughter, which made things even more complicated.
He casually tossed aside the Dizi in his hand; it was better not to have it.
"Hey! Mad Old Man, let's go!"
Upon hearing Li Rui's words, the Mad Old Man frowned. Can't this guy even say "Master"? He really couldn't understand why Li Rui kept calling him Mad Old Man.
However, neither of them wanted to waste more time talking to them and left directly.
"Those two are incredibly domineering! I never expected them to force a marriage right away. I really can't make sense of the situation now, sigh!" Li Rui couldn't help but laugh as he walked down the road.
"Actually, this matter should be blamed on me."
Li Rui was even more confused upon hearing this. How could there be such a situation? What is going on? He learned from the Mad Old Man that it was ten years ago when he was drinking and boasting that such a thing happened.
Even if his disciple is a bad apple or handsome, once he becomes his disciple, he must marry his daughter.
This...
"You're not joking with me, are you? Is there really such a thing?" Li Rui frowned.
Then he thought of something else; since he never admitted to being his disciple, it shouldn't be a problem. Li Rui certainly wouldn't take the blame for this.
"I knew you would react like this. I didn't expect that after ten years, he still remembers. It seems this guy hasn't changed at all since ten years ago."
Suddenly, the flute flew in front of Li Rui with a "whoosh," as if it recognized its master.
Li Rui involuntarily extended his hands, and the flute landed in his grasp.
At that moment, an unexpected change occurred; it suddenly transformed from a deep blue to a temporary white.
Li Rui stood there in a daze. It wasn't his fault; the flute had flown into his hands all on its own and changed its appearance like this.
After a moment of shock, two figures appeared again in front of Li Rui. Were they not the same two from before?
"It's not my fault; it came to me by itself," Li Rui said, shrugging his shoulders, intending to toss the flute away once more.
Who would have thought that Old Man Huo rushed up to Li Rui, urging him to keep it safe, while the expressions of him and his daughter seemed to betray them.
Seeing their disheveled state, it was clear that they had been thoroughly dealt with by this flute. Who knew what had happened?
"Nothing can be done now; just accept it." As soon as the words were spoken, the figures vanished. As Rui Xi turned back while leaving, she smiled charmingly, causing Li Rui's half-warm, half-cold heart to tremble unexpectedly.
