It had been some time since they left the rich Jiangnan. The further north they went, the poorer they became. The dry air weakened their will to go north. Was it a mistake to leave Jiangnan? I don't know…Anyway, I can't be controlled by anyone in my life, not even my biological father! You want to sacrifice my life's happiness in exchange for an alliance with the number one aristocratic family in the martial arts world? No way! Perhaps the world is so big that there are countless women who want to marry into the Ouyang family, but I, Xiaoran, don't care!
"Young Lady, do you still want to go forward?" At some point, a fierce black horse stood in front of them. Under the scorching sun in the north of the Great Wall, it emitted the aura of an expert! A young man in a long robe who looked to be in his early twenties said this.
Xiao Ran was shocked, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across his heart. Then, he asked in a clear voice,"Who are you?"
The man smiled brightly and cupped his fists." I'm Ouyang Jing. I'm here to take the Young Mistress home on your orders!"”Although he was a servant, he was riding on a tall horse. Although his tone was humble, there was no hint of respect.
"Whoosh!" Xiao Ran drew his sword and glared at him."Did Ouyang Chengfeng send you here?"
"Young Lady, why did you draw your sword at me? This subordinate was only following orders. When Young Lady becomes the Ouyang Family's Fourth Young Mistress, you will also be this subordinate's master.”
This person did not have any hostility from top to bottom and was polite. However, uneasiness grew in Xiaoran's heart. The more indifferent he appeared, the more uneasy Xiaoran felt-this person was not simple! Although she had not been involved in the martial arts world much, her natural sensitivity made her smell danger! Today's matter was definitely not simple. This person was not so easy to fool!
"Go back and tell your master that Xiaoran is unworthy of him! The Ouyang Aristocrat Clan was so illustrious that Xiao Ran couldn't stay there for a long time!”After saying that, he raised his chin and raised his eyebrows."If you return to Jiangnan today, then you and I will pretend that we have never met. If we are fated to meet in the future, I will definitely return this favor!”"If you insist on bringing me back to report, then…let's see if you have the ability!"”
As soon as he said that, the sword flower had already bloomed in front of his chest and swept towards the man. If it was said that it was better to be quiet than to move, then when nothing had surfaced, it was better to be quiet than to move! He had to seize the initiative and test his strength. Otherwise, before the battle even started, the other party's terrifying pressure would take away his confidence. Then, he would really lose his heart without fighting!
The dry and cracked wind of the northern frontier brushed past her face, leaving a kiss mark on her watery skin that was unique to Jiangnan women. It rolled up her sleeves and escorted her forward. The tip of the sword pierced through the air, bringing with it a biting cold sword aura as it flew towards the man. She wanted to test him with this sword!
The man was as steady as a mountain, but when the tip of the sword was three inches away from his clothes, he rolled up his sleeves and deftly blocked her sword. He moved to the side and the sword edge slashed to the side. Xiao Ran watched as the man easily blocked this move, and his heart suddenly clenched. She knew that the person who came was not simple, so although this sword was a secret test, she used 60% of her strength. However, he did not stop there. With a faint smile, he used his sword fingers to clamp her sword body and used his hand to block the sword's momentum! Before Xiao Ran could react, the man flicked the sword with his hand. The vibration went from the sword to her arm. The aftershock was continuous, almost causing her inner breath to scatter. Her body suddenly stopped and she almost fell. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and kicked the horse's head. With a backflip, she instantly stabilized her inner breath and used the force to float backward. When she landed, she was already several feet away!
Holding the sword in his hand, he adjusted his inner breath as soon as he landed on the ground. After circulating his inner energy for one cycle, he had already dissolved the damage caused by the vibration! He understood in his heart that he had underestimated his opponent! Ouyang Chengfeng knew that he knew martial arts, so the person he sent would definitely not be a pushover!
However, why would the famous number one aristocratic family of the martial arts world marry a woman who was not of the right background? His father was only slightly famous in the Jiangnan area. Nineteen years ago, he single-handedly led the water transport in the Jiangnan area and earned a family business-Xiao Village. Since then, he had a small reputation in this industry. However, just last month, there was a problem with the water transport in the Fujian and Zhejiang areas. The cargo from Jiangnan all the way south could not move forward in the slightest! After investigating the source, they finally found out that in recent months, an organization called "Cloud Return Hall" had risen in the Min-Zhe region. He would monopolize the world's water transport, starting from Jiangnan! It turned out that the head of Min-Zhe Water Transport had changed hands! The Jiangnan water transport led by Xiao Village rebelled angrily. At this point, the water transport of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was like fire and water. In order to win over the various forces, both sides used their own methods. Cloud Returning Hall actually tried to win over the salt merchants from all over the world, and even joined hands with the number one merchant in Fujian and Zhejiang to suppress the Jiangnan water transport! His father was helpless. Just as he was at his wit's end, the fourth young master of the number one aristocratic family in the martial arts world, the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, actually sent someone to propose marriage! Without a doubt, this was truly sending charcoal in the snow. As long as he sent his only daughter to the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, the Jiangnan Water Transport Clan would definitely be able to borrow the strength of the number one aristocratic clan in the martial arts world to strengthen themselves! At that time, there was no need to talk about fighting against the water transport of Min-Zhe. What was wrong with taking the water transport of Min-Zhe into his pocket? Father was moved…Why? Which family of in-laws of a martial arts aristocratic family doesn't have a prominent background? Why would they like me? Is it wrong to say that the door is not right? What's even more ridiculous is that the Ouyang family even specified my name, Xiaoran, and my unknown birth characters! I haven't met him once and I don't know who he is. How can I marry such a person? My father's numerous marriages failed, and he actually forced me into the bridal sedan. In a helpless situation, he left the prosperous Jiangnan and headed north, all for the sake of escaping the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan!
Just as Xiao Ran was in a state of confusion, the man abandoned his horse and flew over. With a powerful aura, he flipped his palm and slashed at Xiao Ran's face. The wind from his palm spread out, and his robe fluttered in the wind. The domineering internal energy caught Xiao Ran's aura and rampaged. In an instant, it was as if the temperature outside the frontier had dropped and turned cold!
Xiao Ran collected his thoughts. He had to fight with all his might now! Seeing Ouyang Jing like this, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Perhaps this was the end of her journey to the north! However, as long as I still have the strength, I will never move south and submit to that inexplicable and unimaginable marriage!
Ouyang Jing's palm struck towards Xiao Ran without any hesitation! The indifference on her face was gone-this girl was definitely not as simple as a vase! Xiao Ran frowned slightly and raised her sword to meet the attack! The Green Wave Sword Technique that was passed down in his family suddenly bloomed. Several sword flowers borrowed the force to turn Ouyang Jing's overbearing internal energy into nothing. He dashed out in the air and launched a move," Blue Sea Without Waves ", at Ouyang Jing. Ouyang Jing couldn't help but admire her series of actions. A mere woman had such courage and strength. The Blue Wave Sword Technique was no longer as ordinary as before in her hands. The wisdom and scheming of borrowing strength also impressed him. However, a mission was a mission! He frowned slightly and activated the internal energy in his body. His palms moved forward and countless forces condensed into a huge wave that pushed toward Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran steeled her heart and stabbed forward with her sword. If this attack hit, she would continue to move north. If it missed, she might die under his palm…No! He only wanted to bring me back to report on his mission. In the face of the bride of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, does a servant need to be so ruthless?
A domineering and powerful palm force tore through the air and heavily slapped Xiao Ran's left shoulder! The tenacious Blue Wave Sword Technique forcefully pierced through the defense of the palm force, cut open Ouyang Jing's robe, and stabbed into his left shoulder!
" Chi!" Xiao Ran spat out a mouthful of blood. The sweet smell of blood filled the air, stimulating her sense of smell. Her Inner Breath dissipated, and she fell towards the yellow sand in the north of the Great Wall! She held her sword tightly in her hand, her hope to go north! " Chi!" The tip of the sword was pulled out of Ouyang Jing's flesh, and a stream of blood was drawn out of the sword! Ouyang Jing landed on the ground and staggered back a few steps. He steadied himself. He was injured! Blood seeped out from the wound on his left shoulder. As his heart pulse throbbed, he felt a twitching pain! He looked at Xiao Ran, who was lying on the ground not far away. He panted and tried his best to calm down the churning of his internal energy. After being injured, his internal energy instinctively began to defend itself and move around. This made him frown! He mobilized all the strength in his body to regulate his breathing…
Xiao Ran tried her best to support her body and sat up. She began to regulate her breathing, but her already scattered Internal Breath no longer listened to her. This caused her to spit out another mouthful of blood. Cough cough cough…Seeing that it was useless, she stopped forcing herself. She just held the sword in her hand tightly, her knuckles turning white. She forced herself to put on a defensive sword stance, panting heavily, and was on guard against Ouyang Jing's movements. She did not know how much damage that sword had caused him, but she had used all her strength in that sword attack. Although the Blue Wave Sword Technique was an ordinary sword technique, she had been practicing it for ten years at the age of seventeen. However, she had a different understanding of martial arts. Even if it was an ordinary sword technique, she had gained some insights. This was something that others did not know!
"You clearly know that I'm about to become the Fourth Madam of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, yet you still dare to be so ruthless to me!”Xiao Ran said angrily. Cough, cough, cough…
Ouyang Jing covered his wound and sensed her serious injury. He smiled in pain and slowly walked toward her."Hehehe…Miss Xiao, I'm just a servant. I'm following orders. You'd better obediently follow me back to Jiangnan. This time, I only came on orders. Master said that as long as you are alive, it's fine!”The sinister smile made Xiao Ran feel great fear. What did he mean by 'as long as you're alive'? What did Ouyang Chengfeng want? Anyway, it was not a bride! Xiaoran thought, I must not go back! What did Ouyang Chengfeng want to do?
Seeing Ouyang Jing walking towards her, the fear in her heart grew."No, I can't! Even if I die, I won't go back with you! If you insist on taking me away, then take my corpse and ask Ouyang Chengfeng for a reward!”
Ouyang Jing was already in front of her. She struggled to move away, but she couldn't!
"Xiaoran, I won't let you die. Master said that he wants you to see him alive, so I have to obey!”As he spoke, he reached out to grab her.
" Chi!" A hidden weapon drilled into Ouyang Jing's outstretched hand." Ah!"”Ouyang Jing grunted and retracted his outstretched hand reflexively. Xiao Ran's heart was finally at ease-someone was coming to save her! Looking at his hand, that hidden weapon was actually a multi-colored flower! A green flower!
Ouyang Jing looked at the hidden weapon that came out of nowhere in shock. He couldn't dodge a hidden weapon! He was also surprised that this hidden weapon was actually a flower! The bright green color stung his eyes. At this moment, blood flowed down the stem of the green flower!
Not far away, a piece of sand protruded out, and then a rapidly growing green vine broke through the sand! Vines, leaves, and finally a huge green flower grew at an unbelievable speed. How could such a strange flower grow in such a desolate and dry place! The two of them were shocked.
Suddenly, a green figure broke through the air and landed lightly on the huge petals of the green flower. It was as if Guanyin was standing on the lotus seat. Clearly, that strange flower had bloomed to welcome her arrival. The woman was dressed in green, and the color of her clothes was exactly the same as the color of the flowers. Her beautiful face had a pair of beautiful eyes that were not tainted by the world. Her clean and beautiful face revealed an indescribable irresistible feeling. She smiled slightly, and her smile was filled with compassion. The woman opened her lips slightly." She's already injured to this extent. Leave her behind. You leave!"”As soon as he spoke, the green flower that was regarded as a hidden weapon seemed to have been shaken. Its petals instantly fell, leaving only a withered stem stuck in the flesh!
Ouyang Jing recovered from his shock."Impossible, I will definitely bring her away today. No matter who you are, I will give you a piece of advice. Don't make enemies with the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan.”
"She already has the intention to die. If you force her, she will definitely die together with you! All living things have the right to live, why should others forcefully take it away by themselves!”Without waiting for his reaction, she released a green vine and instantly wrapped it around Xiaoran's waist. Without her exerting any strength, Xiaoran's body left the sand with the green vine and flew towards her. Seeing that Xiaoran was in the air, Ouyang Jing suddenly jumped up and turned his palm into a claw, grabbing at Xiaoran."No one can take her away!"
The woman in green took out a green flower. She held the stem of the flower in her hand and spun it slightly. The petals scattered. It was just a flower, but it seemed to have endless petals. The inner petals kept blooming outward, and the outer petals fell down one after another. They floated into the air and surged toward Ouyang Jing until his body was covered in green petals! Ouyang Jing was shocked, but there was nothing he could do. He watched as Xiao Ran left. The woman caught Xiao Ran and carried her seriously injured body elegantly to the center of the green flowers under her feet. All the petals wrapped the two of them and then submerged into the sand. The green vines and leaves kept drilling into the soil until everything was pulled into the soil. The sand returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened! However, he was surrounded by the petals. He felt that the entire sky was filled with a lingering green color that wrapped him tightly. No matter how he resisted, all his strength was like a stone sinking into the sea. Was he going to die in the sand sea today…
