Chapter 494: Eating

Over there, the "Horse-Face Man" was rolling and wailing on the ground, clearly having been hurt extremely severely by Li Miao, an outsider, yet Gao Lei was completely indifferent, even feeling some satisfaction on his face.

Although they were of the same sect, the discord between the two was already out in the open, and they couldn't even be bothered to put on a facade.

Gao Lei stepped over him as if stepping over a dead dog, then turned his head to smile at Li Miao, gestured with his hand, and led Li Miao's party of three to continue forward.

A short while later, they arrived at Gao Lei's own residence.

A small farmhouse courtyard, not looking luxurious, but it could be considered quiet.

Zhao Ying took the child and went to the side room to breastfeed.

Li Miao and Wu Mingxiao sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Gao Lei said he was going to arrange wine and food, turned around, and went out the door.

The courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Li Miao naturally leaned on the table, supporting his face and feigning sleep.

Wu Mingxiao looked around randomly; he was a silly boy, after all, having seen nothing, and found everything novel.

After watching for a while, he couldn't hold it in and said in a low voice.

"Brother Li, what martial art was that you used to point at that horse-face earlier?"

Li Miao smiled with his eyes closed.

"Profound Heaven Finger; everyone who uses it says it's good."

"Want to learn? Shall I teach you?"

Wu Mingxiao's face turned pale.

" *That* Profound Heaven Finger?"

Li Miao laughed.

"What other Profound Heaven Finger could it be? Isn't it the Ming Sect—"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey—" Wu Mingxiao hurriedly waved his hands to interrupt.

"Forget it, Brother Li! I won't learn, I won't learn!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Wu Mingxiao looked around, terrified that what Li Miao had just said would be heard by someone.

In the current Great Ming, the Ming Sect had completely become a forbidden word. Not only because of the Yang family's assassination attempt, but later, under the guidance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Western Regions Moni Sect entered the Central Plains and carried out a massive search for the remnants of the Ming Sect's lower ranks; naturally, there was no lack of bloodshed and even the wiping out of sects, and now no one dared to keep the words "Ming Sect" on their lips.

Like Li Miao, who possessed the direct martial arts of the Ming Sect and spoke of it so openly, if heard by someone with ulterior motives, it would inevitably lead to trouble.

Not to mention, the few of them were still carrying the case of Fukan County!

Wu Mingxiao scanned the surroundings anxiously.

And what he feared came to pass.

When his gaze swept to the entrance, he really did discover a pair of eyes looking inside!

"Who is it!"

Wu Mingxiao stood up, saber in hand.

"That's what I should be asking you!"

A righteous-sounding horse face with tears in the corners of its eyes followed Wu Mingxiao's words and poked into the courtyard. Its two legs were spread wide, walking in like a crab, the sword scabbard at its waist knocking against its thigh with every movement, making a *bang-bang-bang* sound.

It was precisely the horse-faced man named Wu Zhi.

Although he tried to put on a dignified appearance, it was clear that Li Miao's finger was not easy to endure; the "swollen three to five times" he had mentioned earlier was no lie, and the outline was visible through his front flap as he walked.

"It's you bird—*puff! *"

Wu Mingxiao originally wanted to curse angrily, but seeing Wu Zhi's ridiculous appearance, he burst out laughing halfway through his words.

Wu Zhi's complexion turned red as blood instantly.

He used his sword scabbard to lift his front flap to cover himself slightly, endured the pain to stand straight, pointed at Wu Mingxiao, and was about to scold him angrily.

"This is the property of my Great Goose Hall; Gao Lei is just a bandit from the green forest who learned his skills elsewhere; what he says doesn't count here! And it's not up to him to decide who can come in!"

"Now all of you, get out!"

As he spoke, he actually walked forward a few steps, reaching out from afar to grab Wu Mingxiao's arm, as if to drag him out directly.

Wu Mingxiao snorted coldly.

With Wu Zhi's martial arts, he really wasn't his match!

He didn't even draw his saber, intending to brush away Wu Zhi's reaching hand. But unexpectedly, before he even touched him, the aggressive Wu Zhi suddenly let out a miserable scream.

"Awooo!"

He covered his crotch with both hands and fell to his knees with a *thump*. ===== CHAPTER 495 =====
