Young master, why don't you have a bowl of wedding wine before you go?" " Qiu Wuyai did not take the bowl, but asked, "Old man, have you ever seen a few horsemen wearing straw raincoats?"

He asked in a low voice, his hand already on the peach wood sword. No one answered. Behind the open door in the distance, a faint red light flickered. Qiu Wuyai narrowed his eyes.

    A gentle breeze stirred, and the mist seemed to be slowly parted by an invisible hand. Then, the cypress tree, which I both revered and feared, slowly transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful young woman.
