The morning light shone into the room, driving away the sleepiness of the person on the bed. She blinked her hazy eyes and propped herself up.
After washing up, she put on her clothes, tied her hair up high, and fixed it with a golden hairpin. After everything was ready, they went downstairs to eat. Just as he left the room, he happened to bump into Duan Xiao, whom he had met yesterday. He was dressed in white and held a jade flute in his hand, looking suave and elegant.
"Young Lady is awake?" He cupped his fists and greeted him.
Leng Shuiyun hummed softly. Then, the two of them went downstairs to eat together. As if they had known each other for a long time, they sat down at a table. "Young Lady, what plans do you have today?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Leng Shuiyun told him the truth. She didn't plan to rush to Martial City as soon as possible. They were already very close, so there was no need to rush. Besides, she wanted to figure out some things.
" Then, are you interested in…" Duan Xiao swallowed the rest of her words. Leng Shuiyun looked up curiously and found him looking at the entrance of the inn. He was not the only one. Almost everyone was looking in the same direction, so they naturally did not fall behind. When they looked over, they realized that the group of Bright Mountain Sect disciples who had just entered had gathered all their gazes.
Leng Shuiyun recognized them. They were the ones who had a dispute with Qi Meisha in the forest. What were they doing here?
"Boss, please prepare some food for us brothers.”The one who spoke was the disciple who held the most weight in this group of people.
"Yes, yes. Please wait a moment." The boss ran down to prepare.
The inn returned to its previous state. Everyone let their guard down. Suddenly, a man covered in blood was thrown into the inn. Leng Shuiyun subconsciously chased after him, but she didn't find any traces of suspicious people. When she came back, the man covered in blood was surrounded by everyone. Leng Shuiyun wanted to squeeze in, but a reminder sounded in her ear," I advise you not to look. This person isn't very good."”
Leng Shuiyun turned a deaf ear and pushed the crowd aside to enter. She saw that the man's eyes had been gouged out, his ears had been pierced, and the tendons in his hands and feet had been cut off. The depth of the knife wounds on his body varied, and there were even a few fatal wounds. Leng Shuiyun squatted down and held the man's left hand to check his pulse. She had to shake her head. Even if Hua Tuo was still alive, there was nothing he could do.
The man's mouth seemed to move, and his breath was weak. After much effort, he finally said two words," Feng Palace."”
Curses rose from all around. The man couldn't endure it and died here.
"I want to raze the Phoenix Palace."
"If it was so easy to deal with, why would the Clear Mountain Sect go through so much trouble to gather people from the martial arts world?”A skinny man said. He looked at the man who had just died and then looked at the dining table. He sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had no appetite.
The few disciples of the Clear Mountain Sect sat down and did not say anything.
Suddenly, Duan Xiao interrupted. This question was exactly what Leng Shuiyun was thinking." Tell me, why did the Phoenix Palace suddenly cause trouble?”
"He wants to dominate the martial arts world." The man who spoke was the one who had been taught a lesson by Leng Shuiyun yesterday. He grabbed the fat on the plate and put it into his mouth, making Leng Shuiyun feel disgusted.
Duan Xiao returned to her seat and sat down. She used her eyes to signal Leng Shuiyun to come back and sit down. Seeing that she was obedient and sat down beside her, she slowly said," You're right."”
Seeing everyone's disdainful gazes, he smiled." Hey, I haven't finished speaking. Please don't look like you're talking nonsense, and everyone knows about it.”
"Puff!" It was the sound of the tea that Leng Shuiyun had just drank being spat out again. She suppressed her laughter and said apologetically," Young Master Duan, please continue. Don't bother with me."”
"The sect master of the Clear Mountain Sect is already the alliance master of the martial arts world, but he is not sitting comfortably. No, it should be said that the previous alliance master positions were also not sitting comfortably? Why? It was because the Alliance Master lacked the symbol to command the martial world.”His tone was relaxed. He was just stating something that no one had expected.
Leng Shuiyun seemed to understand everything from the side. No wonder the Clear Mountain Sect was so nervous and went through so much trouble. These three words woke everyone up from their daze.”
"Flame Dragon Token?" Many people asked.
" That's right. The Flame Dragon Token has long disappeared. Legend has it that the leader of the martial arts world sank it to the bottom of the lake a hundred years ago in order to end the fight for the Flame Dragon Token.”After Duan Xiao finished speaking, Leng Shuiyun continued," Unfortunately, a hundred years later, for the Flame Dragon Token, a new bloody storm is being staged.”
"Is what he said true? Why should we believe him?”This was everyone's reaction.
"Hehe, whether you believe me or not, you can ask the disciples of the Clear Mountain Sect in the middle.”Duan Xiao had an indifferent expression.
The disciples of the Clear Mountain Sect noticed everyone's doubtful gazes and could only admit," Yes, the Flame Dragon Token has appeared." And we were sent by Master to find the whereabouts of the Flame Dragon Token.”
Hong, the inn was in an uproar. The sounds of debate rose and fell. Leng Shuiyun had already lost interest. It seemed that it was time to pack up and head to Martial City. Since she knew everything she needed to know, there was no need to stay.
She got up and went back to her room to change out of her bloodstained clothes. She packed up and prepared to leave. At this moment, Shi Xiao knocked on the door and entered the house." Miss, you're leaving?”
"Yes, I suddenly remembered that I have some important matters to attend to.”He put the last piece of clothing into the bag and tied the corner of the cloth. She took the clothes that she had changed out of and dragged them into the basin to burn them.
"I have nothing to do, can I follow you?”Duan Xiao looked at Leng Shuiyun burning the bloody clothes and asked pleadingly.
"Sure," After saying that, she regretted it. How could she agree so easily? She still didn't know his identity. What if, forget it, there would be a way out when the car came to the front of the mountain. She would think about it then.
The two of them continued to move forward slowly and were not in a hurry. Duan Xiao had always been curious about Leng Shuiyun's horse and could not help but ask," Miss Leng, where did you get this horse?"”
"You mean Dark Cloud?" It was as if Dark Cloud had heard its master mention it and immediately whimpered in a low voice," Hehe, I tamed it a few days ago.”
"No way!" This horse looked very wild. If he wanted to tame it, he wouldn't even have the confidence to do so. However, the woman in front of him said it so casually.
Leng Shuiyun stroked Dark Cloud's pure black mane." I almost died under its hooves. It was very embarrassing. I had no choice but to climb up the tree. I really wanted to kill this beast. That was the first thought that came to my mind after I stood on the tree.”
Dark Cloud seemed to remember the situation at that time. It whimpered and tilted its head back, hoping to get more comfort from its master." It's lucky. Now that I think about it, maybe it's fate. It can understand what I mean."”
"Why do you miss Biqing?" Dark Cloud had just been eating grass at the side, but now he ran over and nudged her with his head.
"Bi Qing?" Duan Xiao questioned.
"It was another horse. They were together at first, but they were tamed by another person.”Dark Cloud, I know you miss him, but so do I. What was he doing now? Preparing for the wedding? Accompanying his future wife to tour the mountains and play with water. The gentle smile that once belonged to him no longer belonged to him. He would become another woman's husband. Leng Shuiyun, don't you hate him? Hate him for being so gentle to her, yet he's about to marry someone else. She hated him for not telling her in the end and letting her find out from someone else. However, she should still hate herself for not having the courage to ask,'Do you really want to be with her? Leng Shuiyun, just admit it. I'm a damn coward. I don't even have the courage to hear him admit it.
"What are you thinking about?" Duan Xiao asked. Who was she thinking about? She was so lost in thought that she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
"No, I haven't." She kept her emotions and lowered her head to eat the rations in her hands.
"I don't think I can make it into the city, so I can only stay outside.”Duan Xiao picked up some tree branches from the surroundings and lit a fire.
"Yes."
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. A group of men in black approached silently.
Leng Shuiyun had always been vigilant when she was resting outside. When she sensed danger, her sleepiness gradually faded away and her clear thoughts returned. She got up from the ground and teleported behind a tree not far away. She held the Teeth Lotus Fan tightly in front of her chest and held her breath.
Dark Cloud stood up and slowly retreated from its master's side as quietly as possible, waiting.
Duan Xiao stood on the tree with the jade flute hanging by her side, scouting the surroundings. He knew that this group of people were not weak in martial arts, and there were quite a number of them.
The men in black approached the place where they were resting and found that they were no longer there. The leader ordered," Search!”
With a command, all the men in black scattered and searched for their hiding spots.
Duan Xiao signaled," At this moment, attack when they are unprepared and strike first. We'll meet up in Martial City after this." After saying that, she took the lead and flew down from the tree. The jade flute was broken. Only then did Leng Shuiyun realize that the lower end of the flute was broken, and there was a tough knife inside. He successfully attracted the attention of a group of men in black and lured them away. Leng Shuiyun quickly dodged, attracting the attention of another group.
The men in black were scattered.
What a powerful killer. His attacks were swift and all of them were aimed at his vital points, wanting to kill him in one blow. Leng Shuiyun had no choice but to dodge left and right, using her fan to block the attacks. It seemed that they would not stop until they were killed. As he thought about it, he unfurled his fan, and a beautiful lotus flower suddenly appeared. It slashed diagonally from top to bottom, and a blood lotus bloomed at the throat of one of the black-robed men. When the hidden weapons came, she turned around to dodge them. At the same time, she let go of her fan to block another batch of silver needles that flew towards her. However, those hidden weapons disappeared into thin air, which surprised the black-clothed man. Leng Shuiyun smiled faintly and retracted her fan. She stood in the middle of the men in black and was surrounded. She wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she kept smiling.
This time, Leng Shuiyun leaped up and threw her fan into the air. Seeing her move, the man in black had already prepared a rope to tie her up. He didn't dodge and was tightly strangled as if he was sincere. He closed his eyes as if he was waiting for death. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, as if the person trapped was not her, and victory was in her grasp. The man in black was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He only wanted to complete the mission, and his saber was ready to attack. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and the Teeth Bone Lotus Fan that had been thrown to a certain height opened up. The silver needles that had disappeared just now shot out as the fan spun rapidly. The black-robed man could not dodge in time, and muffled groans sounded out. It turned out that she wasn't the one who was trapped. A rope was held by two parties. One end was tied to Leng Shuiyun on the surface, and the other end was held in their hands. But why did they think that she was the weaker party? This kind of rope was tied to their wrists. When the silver needles shot down, they could not cut it off instantly. They could only bear it obediently. She floated to the ground, broke free of the rope, and walked towards the man in black who was still panting." Speak! Who sent you?"
Unfortunately, they were a group of men of sacrifice. If they did not succeed, they would die.
