Cheng Mo became the Wulin Alliance Leader just three years ago, after the last Wulin Conference. In such a short period of time, he became famous and could be considered as part of a generation of heroes.

In Ling Xiaolu’s heart, these two people, one should be an old man with white hair, divine poise, and sage-like features1; the other should be a tall and strong middle-aged man. Now that these two men were in front of him, he could see they were a pair of handsome and young gentlemen. 

After hearing that Ling Xiaolu was also going to the Wulin Conference, Cheng Mo invited him(LXL) to join them along the road. 

Ling Xiaolu was already an admirer of Cheng Mo, this Wulin Alliance Leader, and now seeing his great demeanor, was naturally willing to journey with them. Before departing, Ling Xiaolu invited the horseless Cheng San to ride with him. 

Cheng San turned his head and snorted, but extended his hand to Ling Xiaolu so he (LXL) could pull him(CS) up. 

As they passed by a town in the evening, Ling Xiaolu saw that Cheng Mo and his party had no intention of resting overnight in the town. Curiously, he asked, “Aren’t you going to stay overnight at an inn?” 

Cheng Mo responded, “Not far down the road is Linglong Villa, and the owner is my old friend. We can rest there for one night.” 

Ling Xiaolu nodded, “En.” 

Sure enough, not too far away, in the distance, he saw a large and magnificent villa. Cheng Mo sent a porter to the Villa to inform them of their arrival. A moment later, a beautiful young girl in a pink dress came out and, upon seeing Cheng Mo, cried out with joy, “Big Brother Cheng!”

Cheng Mo smiled and said, “Sister Cai’er, long time no see. Is your elder brother in the villa? We are passing through and would like to stay for a night.” 

Xue Cai’er heard his words and hummed, “You don’t have to ask my elder brother, Big Brother Cheng. You guys can just stay here, I will go to the kitchens and inform them to prepare some dishes. First go follow the maid to the guest rooms.” 

Cheng Mo smiled and said, “I still have to meet with your elder brother.” 

Xue Cai’er pouted, “Then it’s bad timing, my elder brother isn’t in the villa right now. He went to go chase Wan Xiongfeng.” 

“Wan Xiongfeng?” Cheng Mo’s expression shifted slightly. “It’s the flower thief Wan Xiongfeng?” 

Xue Cai’er said, “It’s precisely him. Don’t talk about my elder brother anymore, put your luggage down, and get ready to eat dinner.” 

Cheng Mo saw that Xue Cai’er refused to say more. He went to the guest room with Zi Xiao to put down his luggage and refresh himself before going to the front yard to have dinner with Xue Cai’er.

Cheng Mo continued to question Xue Cai’er about her elder brother at dinner, but Xue Cai’er didn’t know anything. He asked her what happened between her brother and Wan Xiongfeng, but Xue Cai’er still didn’t know.

Cheng Mo had no choice but to go back to his room to rest after eating.

Ling Xiaolu went back to the room and sat beside the window for a while. He just thought about how he was with Cheng Mo, one of the best masters in Jianghu. His master and brother were very knowledgeable, but he was afraid that they had not experienced something like this. More and more excited, Ling Xiaolu became energetic and walked around in the room for two times, planning to talk more with Cheng Mo. Even if he listened only listened to him(Cheng Mo) about the current situation in the Wulin Alliance, it was still a blessing for this nameless junior. 

After thinking it through, Ling Xiaolu anxiously went next door to Cheng Mo’s room, standing outside and knocking on the door.

“Who?” Cheng Mo asked from the inside.

Ling Xiaolu cleared his throat. “It’s me.” 

The door opened from the inside, but it wasn’t Cheng Mo who stood at the door looking at Ling Xiaolu. It was Zi Xiao, who looked indifferent.

Ling Xiaolu said restlessly, “Zi … Zi Xiao Daozhang2?”

Zi Xiao asked, “What is it?”

Ling Xiaolu did not have the courage to go in and find Cheng Mo to talk. He only felt frustrated and said, “Nothing.”

Zi Xiao returned to the table-side and sat down.

Cheng Mo was opposite of him, and listening to the footsteps of Ling Xiaolu leaving, said, “You should have let the child come in and sit.”

Zi Xiao had a blank expression, “It’s your turn.”

Cheng Mo shook his head, picked up a black stone, and placed it on the chessboard.3

After the game was over, Cheng Mo raised his head and said that he might should go  rest. Suddenly he heard an extremely slight noise in the yard outside, and immediately frowned and looked opposite of Zi Xiao.

Zi Xiao’s slender fingers were holding a white stone. At this time, he looked at Cheng Mo, and then his finger flicked lightly. The stone broke through the paper window and flew out to hit the thing in the yard.

With only a snort, someone rushed out of the trees and ran out of the villa.

Zi Xiao’s figure swayed, and he dashed out of the room like a gust of wind.

Cheng Mo followed behind him. The two men followed the unknown man in front of them, stepping over the treetops, up and down chasing outside the villa. There was a large forest outside the villa. Cheng Mo saw Zi Xiao chasing a few steps and then slowing down, so he(Cheng Mo) ran after him(Zi Xiao) and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zi Xiao raised a hand to silence him.

Cheng Mo looked at the pitch-black forest and could not hear a sound besides the wind. He knew that the unknown man was hiding in ambush. He don’t know how long the man had been hiding in their yard before, but it must be someone with martial arts who has reached a certain level since he could enter the yard without being discovered by the two of them.

At this time, the man was lurking above a big tree. He dared not act rashly, for as long as he moves, he will certainly not escape from Cheng Mo’s and Zi Xiao’s ears. 

Cheng Mo looked up and looked at the dense bushes. Suddenly, a little white light flashed in front of him. Cheng Mo responded quickly and moved sideways to avoid it. A dart brushed across him.

Cheng Mo did not have time to think about the danger before he was targeted by three more darts.

Not sure about this one. Original line was “仙风道骨”, which is like “fairy wind bone”?  Taoist = daozhang  I believe they are playing Go, so it’s one of these things:
