The next morning, Leng Shuiyun left Lotus Cove and set off for Martial City.
On the way, she did not wear men's clothes like before, but she still wore a woman's outfit for convenience. During the day, she would travel. At night, if she entered the city, she would stay in an inn. If she was in the wild, she would light a bonfire and rest at the top of a tree.
On the way, she realized that things were not as simple as her master had said. It seemed that some unknown secret was hidden behind it. If it was just to get rid of the Phoenix Palace, why would the underworld gangs, big and small, join in and even abandon their old grudges?
On this day, Leng Shuiyun went to a forest to rest and have a simple lunch. She sat on a tree branch. Dark clouds were grazing under her feet. The surroundings were quiet. There were only the sounds of insects and birds chirping, and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
After a while, the peace was completely destroyed. Sounds of fighting could be heard not far away. Leng Shuiyun got up and approached curiously. Perhaps it was because of her nimble movements or her profound martial arts, those people did not notice her appearance around them and hid behind the tree.
She recognized the clothes of some of them. They were the clothes of the disciples of the Bright Mountain Sect. As for the other group, she had no idea who they were.
"The disciples of the Clear Mountain Sect are only so-so. They did it but didn't dare to admit it.”The leader of the men in black mocked.
"Don't spout nonsense. Our Clear Mountain Sect never does anything sneaky.”A disciple stood out to deny it.
"What a joke. If you don't do anything sneaky, then join forces with us, Qi Mei Sha. To think that your sect master is the leader of the martial arts world. Aiya, I forgot that your position as the leader was given to you by someone else.”The black-robed man still had a look of disdain on his face, while they burst into laughter. Leng Shuiyun looked at the faces of the people of the Clear Mountain Sect, which were turning green and white. It was really interesting.
"Looks like Three Scars hasn't forgotten that we're working together. Since we're working together, we shouldn't do anything to betray each other before the matter is over. The Clear Mountain Sect has promised Mei Sha that we will get people to investigate as soon as possible and give you an explanation.”The person who spoke this time seemed to be a disciple with more power. He was able to suppress his anger so quickly and recover his rationality.
"Hmph, then we'll wait for the alliance leader to give Qi Mei Sha an explanation. Let's go." After they left, the Bright Mountain Sect also left.
Leng Shuiyun sat down on the spot. It seemed that things were not as simple as they seemed. The Clear Mountain Sect, which ruled the martial arts world, was actually cooperating with the villain Qi Meisha. Why? It seemed like he needed to investigate.
The whistle was followed by the cry of the dark cloud. Leng Shuiyun jumped on the horse and the dark cloud ran at full speed. They must enter the city before dark.
People came and went in the inn. Perhaps all the martial artists had come out to gather in Martial City. In this town closest to Martial City, almost all of them were martial artists. They held knives, axes, and swords. There were all kinds of strange things.
The waiter led Leng Shuiyun to a table in the corner and sat down." Miss, are you alone?”
Leng Shuiyun sat down and nodded after hearing the waiter's question. The parcel and fan were placed on the edge of the table.
"It's not peaceful right now. Young Lady has nothing important to do, so this lowly one would advise you to return. It's too dangerous outside.”The waiter persuaded earnestly. Look at the people sitting around them. They were all burly men with strong backs and strong waists. Only this little girl was still beautiful with her soft skin and tender flesh. Look, look, ever since this girl came in, these men's eyes had not left her.
Leng Shuiyun pretended that she didn't hear or see anything. She lowered her pretty little face and said to the waiter," Serve some good dishes for Miss and prepare a room for you."”
A silver ingot was placed on the table. The waiter exclaimed and hurriedly went to prepare.
Finally, someone couldn't hold it in any longer. A pig-headed man sat down on the bench to Leng Shuiyun's left." Miss, aren't you lonely? Do you want me to accompany you?"”
"No need." Leng Shuiyun rejected.
"It's not safe for Young Lady to be alone. I will act as a bodyguard to protect Young Lady's safety.”The man's hand was no longer obedient. He actually wanted to touch Leng Shuiyun's hand.
Leng Shuiyun was disgusted, but she didn't show it on her face. She moved her hand away and picked up the cup to drink tea. Seeing that Leng Shuiyun didn't reject him, he became even more arrogant. He placed his hand on Leng Shuiyun's leg.
He flipped the cup in his hand, and the unfinished tea splashed all over the man's face. He stood up in shock, obviously angry. He shouted at Leng Shuiyun," It's your fortune that I've taken a fancy to you. You don't want face even though I've given you face. What the hell!?"”
Leng Shuiyun smiled sweetly. What kind of master was he? Lan Xuanhan's gentle smile appeared in her mind, and he said to her dotingly,"Master is Master." How could she suddenly think of him? She was a little angry. Seeing that the man was unwilling to let go, Leng Shuiyun vented all her anger on that person.
The cup turned into powder in his palm. He grabbed the man's thick hand that was reaching out again and twisted his wrist forcefully. Crack! The sound of bones breaking was accompanied by a painful cry. Suddenly, everyone in the inn gasped. It didn't take long for someone to wake up. That person's subordinate came forward and took their big brother away. The group of people held their knives and ferociously charged at Leng Shuiyun, who was still sitting there calmly drinking tea.
"Stinky girl, you dare to hurt my boss. You don't want to live anymore. Brothers, attack!”As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Shuiyun grabbed a steamed bun and threw it at him. Coincidentally, it hit his mouth that was still open. The man took five steps back and steadied himself. His mouth was burning with pain. Leng Shuiyun said lightly," Miss, I'll give you a steamed bun. Shut your stinky mouth."”
Everyone looked over. She was still eating, as delicate as she could be. However, they all knew that she had martial arts and was definitely not weak. The powder from the cups on the ground, her slender wrist easily broke the bones of the burly man, and the seemingly powerless steamed bun that was thrown over made the adult martial arts man take five steps back. They were all glad that they did not provoke her.
When the atmosphere was at its most solemn, a young man sitting at the other end stood up and walked over." Is it Miss Wu Xi?"”
Leng Shuiyun raised her head. This person was quite good-looking and had a refined appearance. He even had this attendant behind him." I don't remember knowing Young Master."”
She didn't respond directly, but she didn't deny that she wasn't Wu Xi either.
"It is indeed Young Lady. It is only natural that Young Lady doesn't know this one, but this one has seen Young Lady at the Martial Arts Circle Ensemble.”Hearing him say this, the burly man who had teased her just now was instantly dumbfounded. It seemed that he was letting him off easy since he had spent one of his hands. If he really made her angry, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for her.
"I see. You haven't asked for Young Master's name?" Leng Shuiyun was not interested in those petrified people at all. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and started chatting with the young master she had just met.
"My surname is Duan and my name is Xiao. Xiao of Xiaoshui."
Lan Xuanhan was unconscious for three days. The imperial doctor said that the typhoid fever had not recovered, and his body was weak. He had also suffered some blows, so his blood and qi surged up, causing him to vomit blood and faint. He needed to rest in bed. He must not be anxious.
Lan Xuanhan leaned against the headboard weakly. Leng Shuiyun, I thought I had done enough to make you understand why you could still leave without saying a word. Do you want me to tell you directly that I like you? You are so smart, how can you not understand my intentions?
"Your Highness, why are you coughing up blood again?" Butler Wei entered the room to deliver the medicine just in time to see Lan Xuanhan coughing violently on the bed. There was a bright red color between his fingers.
Butler Wei helped him clean up and served him the medicine. Lan Xuanhan calmed down a little. He clapped his hands and summoned the guards who had been hiding in the dark. He instructed them to quickly investigate the situation outside. Leng Shuiyun had just returned home and her sister was getting married. It was impossible for her to leave her parents so easily.
"Your highness has finally thought it through. Miss Leng left without saying goodbye because she had something to do.”Butler Wei helped him lie down. His Highness did not speak, so he tactfully retreated.
It was impossible to say that he didn't hate her, and it was impossible to say that he didn't resent her. After all, when he strongly rejected the marriage and wanted to be with her, she wasn't by his side. She even left without saying goodbye. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her about his marriage with Lan Xin, but he didn't know what to say. He thought that General Leng would tell her, but she didn't know anything. It was inevitable that he would be angry. Why didn't you ask Leng Shuiyun, is this king really worthless in your eyes?
When Emperor Jing Ren learned that he had woken up, he only sent people to show concern, rewarded him with some precious herbs, and told him to rest well. He did not need to care about anything else. There was no mention of his marriage to Princess Lan Xin from the beginning to the end, but he knew that the engagement had not been canceled.
When Princess Lan Xin came to visit, the first thing she said was," I'm sorry.”
"Princess, there is no need to apologize." He could already get up, although the imperial physician still advised him to rest in bed.
"I was just too angry at that time. Maybe Sister Yun 'Er left because she had something to do at the last minute.”Lan Xin looked like she was about to cry, but she was still trying to persuade him.
"No, no matter what the reason is, she still left. Maybe it was just this king's wishful thinking. She never cared.”The originally handsome man had become haggard because of his illness, and his brows were deeply stained with sorrow.
Lan Xin understood that she could not get in between them no matter what. The only thing she did not believe was that Sister Yun 'er did not have any feelings for Prince Cheng. The answer was obvious. It was impossible. The conversation between her and Sister Yun 'Er that day made her understand that there was someone in her sister's heart, but she did not want to be a source of trouble or a beauty. She would rather leave than be willing. Could it be that her sister left just to fulfill her wish? Sister Yun 'Er, shouldn't Lan Xin call you silly?
"Your Highness, don't worry. Lan Xin suddenly doesn't want to marry you.”After saying that, she stood up and left the room. Two streams of tears flowed down silently.
When the secret guard saw that the person in the room had left, he immediately appeared." Your Highness, I found out that something happened in Jianghu recently. Miss Leng's master was injured, and Miss Leng was called away by her master's letter.”
"What happened?" Who could injure Senior Moon Sovereign and what happened in the martial world?
"Recently, almost everyone in the martial arts world has been mobilized. They have joined forces to attack the arrogant Feng Palace.”The guard stopped.
This kid had learned how to breathe, and his ability had grown." Open? Don't tell me you can't find out about the secret. Hurry up and tell me!”
"Yes, Your Highness. I heard that the Flame Dragon Token has appeared.”As soon as he finished speaking, the hidden guard disappeared.
"He actually ran away. I won't shave you when I recover." Lan Xuan was gloomy." I heard that it's not that simple. The Flame Dragon Token has long disappeared. Why did it suddenly appear? It seems that there will be a bloody storm."”
Lan Xuanhan had already decided that after he recovered, it was necessary for him to go to the martial world. Leng Shuiyun, I don't believe that I can't find you.
