Death warriors were still death warriors. When they knew that they had left without a life, they would always take care of themselves to prevent things from being exposed. Leng Shuiyun didn't get the answer she wanted from them. She picked up a silver needle that they used. It was very ordinary and couldn't be seen.
Leng Shuiyun was a little angry. She began to search their bodies. When her clothes were torn apart, what appeared in front of her was a black phoenix branded on the skin of her chest. It flapped its wings and wanted to soar wildly. Every killer had such a bird in the same spot on their chest, which made her think of a place-the Phoenix Palace. They actually sent people to assassinate me. Was it me or Duan Xiao that they wanted to get rid of?
By the time the corpses were dealt with, the sky had already turned white. Dark Cloud obediently ran over from the forest in the distance. Leng Shuiyun got on her horse and went to Martial City to meet Duan Xiao first. It seemed that she had to further understand the rest of the matter.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Duan Xiao sitting in a tea shop on the side. He had changed his clothes like him, but when you got close, you could smell the faint smell of blood on his body.
The two of them didn't speak and led the horse. Duan Xiao walked in front and stopped outside an inn. The waiter immediately came forward to greet him," Guest, are you eating or staying?”
He threw out a silver ingot and the waiter caught it skillfully." Two rooms, please. Prepare hot water as well. We want to take a bath."”After saying that, Duan Xiao turned around and glanced at Leng Shuiyun. The latter nodded slightly.
Soon, the wooden bucket was carried into the house. Leng Shuiyun took off her clothes and walked into the bucket. Her tense nerves instantly relaxed when she came into contact with the warm liquid. She closed her eyes slightly and opened her mouth to breathe in the air with the fragrance of the petals.
She hated the smell of blood on her body. It was unbearable. She rubbed her body until her skin turned red.
The question in the morning echoed in his mind. Who was the Phoenix Palace here to kill?
" Dang dang." Someone knocked on the door." Miss Leng, are you done showering? I've already instructed the waiter to prepare breakfast downstairs."”
"I'll be right there." The sound of water splashing on the ground could be heard in the room, causing one's imagination to run wild. A graceful girl with skin whiter than snow and a petite figure slowly walked out of the bathtub. Her slightly wet hair stuck to her cheeks, and her small red face was glowing with shyness.
Duan Xiao quickly shook her head. She was thinking nonsense and quickly fled the scene." Then I'll wait for Miss Leng downstairs."”
"Alright." It was as if he had been soaked in water for a long time and was exhausted. His soft voice hummed this simple syllable.
Duan Xiao seemed to have touched something she shouldn't have touched and left as if she was running for her life.
When Leng Shuiyun finished tidying up and went downstairs to eat, Duan Xiao had already returned to her usual expression, as if nothing had happened, as if he wasn't the one who had lost his composure just now.
"I'll go to the Ling family later." Leng Shuiyun sat on the bench and took a steamed bun.
"Alright, I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you.”Duan Xiao lowered her head to eat and didn't look at Leng Shuiyun, which made her a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it.
"I, Leng Shuiyun, pay my respects to Master Ling.”Leng Shuiyun stood at the entrance of the Ling Residence and reported her name and purpose of visit.
After the servant at the door heard this, he led her into the manor." Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go report to Master."”
"Thank you."
The maidservant served the tea, and Leng Shuiyun took it and waited quietly. On the way back, Master Ling was still wondering who this girl named Leng Shuiyun was. When he saw her, he exclaimed," Xiao Wu!”
"Uncle Ling." He stood up and bowed. His simple actions were elegant and generous.
She took out the letter that her master had given her before she set off and handed it over." Master told me to take this letter and look for Uncle Ling to see if there's anything I can help you with."”
"Yun 'Er?" Old Master Ling was surprised.
"Yes, Wu Xi was just a name that I randomly picked when I was young and felt it was fun. My daughter's surname is Leng, and her name is Shui Yun." Thinking back to that time when his master had threatened him to give himself the name Wu Xi, it was really boring. So what if she used her real name? She liked the name Yun 'Er. Now, Master was still calling her " Yun' Er, Yun 'Er."
"I see. Then this old man will also call you Yun 'Er. Do you agree?”Old Master Ling sat down.
"Of course, only then will Yun 'Er feel close to you.”Old Master Ling saw that she did not look too good and asked," Are you sick? Or did you not sleep well last night?" Yun 'Er doesn't look well. Should we call a doctor over to take a look?”
"Is that so? Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Ling. Actually, Yun 'er was attacked by the Phoenix Palace last night and almost couldn't see you.”Of course, this was just a joke. Those little Luoluo were not her match.
"Are you hurt?" Out of genuine concern, the Phoenix Palace was not easy to deal with. Every batch of killers they sent out was top-notch, and many martial arts practitioners had been harmed. Regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, as long as they thought that you were blocking their way, they would be driven out, and their methods would be cruel.
"No, it's just that it's more troublesome to deal with them. Moreover, they're a group of death warriors. Those who survived were all poisoned to death when they failed their mission, so I couldn't find anything.”Leng Shuiyun was still furious when she recalled the scene.
"Then how did Yun 'er find out that it was someone from the Feng Palace?”Since they died without saying anything, how would she know that it was the Feng Palace?
"Hehe, Yun 'er saw the phoenix branded on their chests. Master said that all the killers of the Phoenix Palace have such a bird on their bodies. By the way, Uncle Ling, Yun 'Er heard something very strange on the way.”She knew that her master didn't say anything, but that didn't mean that she didn't know. What would Uncle Ling tell her about the Flame Dragon Token?
"What is it?" After Master Ling asked, Leng Shuiyun spat out three words," Flame Dragon Token.”
Senior Yue didn't tell Yun 'er?" This matter was extremely secretive. Where did she hear about it?
"No, perhaps Master was afraid that I would be in danger, so he didn't say anything.”Leng Shuiyun appeared calm and composed, as if she had plenty of time to wait for him to speak.
"Since that's the case, Yun 'Er doesn't need to know.”Since Senior Yue didn't tell him, he didn't need to say anything. Anyway, the fewer people who knew about the Flame Dragon Token, the better.
Leng Shuiyun stood up and said goodbye," Since Uncle Ling and Master didn't want to tell Yun 'er, then it's fine. But since I know, I'm confident that I can find out." Yun 'er has disturbed uncle. Goodbye."
"Wait a minute." This stubborn girl, if he didn't say anything, he believed that she would find out soon. But if he encountered danger along the way, how would he explain it to Senior Yue?
"Does Uncle Ling still have an explanation?" I knew you'd say it.
She smiled helplessly." You probably heard your master say that the Phoenix Palace has been creating waves in the martial world recently. They killed any martial artists they saw. Many heroes had died at their hands. The only reason was because of the Flame Dragon Token. It was once the symbol of the overlord of the martial arts world, showing off one's status. Once this token is out, seeing it is like seeing a person. Possessing it is absolutely equivalent to enjoying the martial arts world. If anyone disobeys, there will be someone who will kill them for you without you personally doing it. A hundred years ago, the Fire Dragon Order stirred up a bloody storm in the Jianghu. At that time, the leader of the martial arts world sank it to the bottom of the lake to end the struggle. Who would have thought that a hundred years later, the new struggle would still be because of it.”
"Where did the news of the appearance of the Flame Dragon Token come from?”Since it had sunk to the bottom of the lake for a hundred years, who was the one who pulled it out of the water?
"The news came from the west. No one has confirmed the authenticity of the news. However, since the Phoenix Palace has already sent people to search for the whereabouts of the Flame Dragon Token and want to rule the martial arts world, we must not sit still and wait for death. If it's fake, we must destroy it. If it's true, we must obtain it before the Phoenix Palace.”
"Then can we make arrangements now?”It seemed that if he wanted to find out the truth, he had to look for the source of the news.
" Not yet. Many of our experts have been killed or injured because of the previous battle. Even your master…" Master Ling sighed helplessly and shook his head.
"Since that's the case, if we don't take action here, Yun 'Er will go to the west to investigate. Perhaps the closer we are to the place where the news came from, the clearer we can understand the situation.”She said what she was thinking and received Old Master Ling's permission.
"Alright, do you need me to send a few people to you?”Master Ling was concerned about her safety.
"No need. It's more convenient for Yun 'Er to go by herself.”She saw a woman walk out of the house. When she got closer, she saw that it was her senior sister. Why was she here? Could it be because of this matter?
"Then you have to be careful.”Master Ling stood up and patted her shoulder.
"Xi 'er, I heard from the servants that you were here, but Senior Sister didn't believe it.”Ren Jue greeted Old Master Ling before calling out her name.
"Then you two sisters can chat, but you must remember not to put yourself in danger.”After saying that, Master Ling turned and left.
"I understand."
"Why is Senior Sister here?" She was very happy to see her, as she could be considered a relative.
" I am married to Lingxi." There was a hint of shyness and happiness in her smile.
"Ha, then I have to congratulate Senior Sister. Does Master and Mistress know?”He only stayed in the lotus depression for a day and left without saying anything.
"I know."
"Stinky master actually didn't mention it to me, causing me to be so shocked that I didn't prepare a gift properly.”She pouted and complained. "Where's Young Master Ling? Aiya, should I call him brother-in-law?”Leng Shuiyun joked, but she really didn't see him.
"He went out to gather information. You also know that the martial world has been very chaotic recently." Ren Jue sounded uneasy. It was normal for a wife to be worried when her husband was away.
"Senior Sister, don't worry. Young Master Ling will be fine.”She consoled him.
"Could it be that you came here because of that matter?”She was not clear about the specifics. No matter how she asked Lingxi, he would not tell her. Of course, she knew that he just did not want her to worry, but the more she did not know, the more worried she became. Why did she not understand?
"Yes, I just told Uncle Ling that I want to go to the west to see if there's any progress.”After Leng Shuiyun finished speaking, she saw Ren Jue's worried face.
"It will be fine." However, it seemed that this explanation was not very useful. It seemed to be perfunctory.
Ren Jue didn't agree to it and ordered his servants to go get some things." I'll ask them to bring some poisons over. When they're here, I'll tell you how to use them."”
Leng Shuiyun agreed. Although she had learned how to use poison from her master's wife in Lian Ao, she was definitely not as skilled as her senior sister.
