It was snowing outside the window, and the snowflakes were still dancing in the air. The red plum blossoms in the Seven Stars Plum Garden were blooming brightly.
The Tiger Subdue Hall was surrounded by sandalwood incense. White smoke spiraled out of the hollowed incense burner, filling the room with a warm fragrance. It formed a sharp contrast with the cold outside the window. The faint fragrance entered the nose, making it comfortable and comfortable.
In the middle sat a middle-aged man in black clothes. He had sharp eyebrows and eagle-like eyes, looking dignified and solemn.
On the hall were six youths dressed in orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. These six youths were lined up in a straight line. The man sitting in the hall was the Seven Stars Hall Master, Meng Qixing. On the hall's knees were the six disciples he was most proud of. They were the six most outstanding assassins of the Seven Stars Hall, Seven Stars Shadow Kill. There were originally seven Seven Star Shadow Assassins, but there were only six in the hall. Only the red-robed Shadow Assassins and Meng Xiuming were not seen.
The sandalwood fragrance lingered in the air, and the snowflakes drifted in the air. The hall was silent, except for the soft sound of breathing. It was terrifyingly cold. Meng Qixing closed his eyes to rest. There was no sound in the hall, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
The door creaked open, and a young man in red walked in. He knelt on one knee and said,""This subordinate is late.”
Meng Xiu Ming was the one who did not abide by the rules the most among the Seven Stars Shadow Kill, but for some reason, Meng Seven Stars favored him the most. As for the reason, no one knew.
Meng Qixing didn't say anything about Meng Xiu Ming's late arrival. His eyes were still closed. The Vice Hall Master Meng Zhinan walked out from the back hall. Meng Zhinan was slightly plump. If one didn't know him, they would think that he was just an ordinary merchant. However, his Lightning Tiger Claw was not to be underestimated in Jianghu. A man in black followed behind Meng Zhinan. This man in black was Meng Zhinan's Shadow Servant, Shadow Four, his fourth shadow.
Shadow Four was holding a tray with three unopened letters. Meng Zhinan opened one of them and said,""Three days later is the seventieth birthday of the old manor master of the Mu manor. Today, I sent an invitation to invite the hall master to come.”
Meng Qixing took the letter and pondered for a moment.""Old Villa Head Mu and I are friends through life and death. He once saved my life. I should go to his seventieth birthday, but I've been busy lately and have no time to spare. Changkong, please prepare a few gifts for me to congratulate Old Villa Master Mu on his birthday."”
"Yes." The man in blue replied.
The blue-robed man was the number one blue-robed shadow killer of the Seven Stars Hall, Zhou Changkong. He was the oldest of the new generation of Seven Stars Shadow Killer and the first to finish his apprenticeship. His master was none other than the previous Blue No.1, the Blue Shirt Shadow Killer Zhou Buye. He was famous in the martial arts world for his 'Thirteen Life-Seizing Sabers', and Zhou Changkong had even surpassed his master. Although he was only twenty-five years old, he had already mastered the' Thirteen Life-Seizing Sabers'. He was a steady person and was calm in the face of chaos. Meng Qixing believed that nothing would go wrong if this matter was handed over to him.
Zhou Zhangkong took the token and left.
Meng Zhinan opened the second letter and said,""This letter is from Qin 'er."
Qin 'er, Meng Qin' er, Meng Qixing's niece and Meng Zhinan's biological daughter. This woman was born arrogant and mischievous. She was difficult to discipline. Relying on the support of Meng Qixing and Meng Zhinan, she made trouble in the Jianghu for fun. However, she never provoked difficult people. She was called the 'Witch of Misfortune' in the Jianghu. There must be something that she couldn't solve.
Meng Qixing rubbed his temples and said,""What did Qin 'er say in the letter?"
Meng Zhinan read it in detail again and said,""Qin 'er said in the letter that the Thirteenth Lady of Yellow Flower had touched Lu Tianshu, so she wants us to get rid of her to vent her hatred.”
Hearing Meng Zhinan's words, Meng Qixing frowned slightly and tightened his grip on the armchair.
Meng Xin 'er had left home for several months because of Lu Tianshu, but Lady Thirteen of Yellow Flowers had gotten to her first. Speaking of Lady Thirteen, she was notorious in Jianghu. She was already 60 years old, but she had a beautiful face like a young girl. She was addicted to sex. Countless men had died because of her sucking blood. She was a female rapist that everyone wanted to kill. However, no one would associate a young girl with Lady Thirteen. Therefore, Lady Thirteen had been running amok in Jianghu. No wonder Meng Qixing had such an expression when he heard the news.
Lady Thirteen of Yellow Flowers had nothing to do with the Seven Stars Hall, and Meng Qixing would not provoke her for no reason.
She could only blame herself for provoking Meng Xin 'er, the demoness of this world.
Meng Qixing was slightly angry and said," Lady Thirteen of the Yellow Flower has killed so many young masters of Jianghu and aristocratic families. So many people want to kill her. However, she disguised herself too well. No one has been able to capture her. This time, she actually made Qin 'er unhappy. Of course, I have to do my duty as an uncle to make Qin' er happy."”
Compared to Meng Zhinan's calmness and indifference, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, in the eyes of others, Meng Qixing was more like Meng Qin 'er's biological father.
When Meng Qixing said this, the six people in the hall all sucked in a breath of cold air. Meng Xiu secretly prayed that this task would not fall on his head. He did not want to kill such a shameless woman, lest his Phoenix Feather Sword was stained with anything unclean.
Meng Qixing glanced at everyone and said,""Miao Yi, I'll give you three months to deal with this matter. In three months, I want to make Lady Thirteen disappear from the martial world.”
Meng Qixing took over a token. There was an obvious word 'kill' carved on it. His eyes were emitting a faint light, like a cold light falling on the back of a woman in purple.
The woman took the token and said,""Yes, this subordinate will do as you say." Her voice was as melodious as a bell, as clear as the jingling of a stream in the mountains, and with a hint of softness. Her voice was very bewitching, but to the people she was about to kill, it was as sinister, terrifying, and murderous as a curse.
Su Miaoyi was the only female assassin in the Seven Stars Shadow Kill and was also recognized as the most beautiful female assassin in the martial arts world. She appeared and disappeared like a ghost. There were two great female assassins in the martial world that made people tremble in fear. One was the previous generation's purple clothed shadow killer-'Madam Xinlian' Su Miaolian, and the other was this 'Ghost Lady' Su Miaoyi.
There really were people who loved to be lively and were not afraid of things getting out of hand. The Jiang Hu female rapist, Lady Thirteen of the Yellow Flower, who was pretending to be young, bumped into the purple-robed female killer, Su Miaoyi, who was as beautiful as summer flowers but colder than ice. Heh, there's going to be a good show, Meng Xiu Ming thought.
Meng Zhinan opened the third letter and said,""Assistant Minister Dongfang wrote a letter saying that there had been a series of unexplained deaths of servants in his family, causing panic. The eldest son of the assistant minister, Dongfang Mingzhu, had been possessed by some unknown evil. He was either unconscious or crazy when he woke up. He scratched his body and was now completely mutilated. No matter how many doctors he had invited, it was useless. In the end, he invited the 'Strange Doctor of the Jianghu' Xiao Yu to treat him. Assistant Minister Dongfang believed that this matter was not as simple as poisoning. He's worried that someone on the road will harm Xiao Yu and obstruct Xiao Yu from going, so he wants us to send someone to protect Xiao Yu.”
"Xiu Ming, your injuries have healed." Meng Qixing rubbed his glabella and said.”
Meng Xiuming's heart thumped as he said,""Hall Master, your subordinate's injuries are no longer serious.”He rolled his eyes. Meng Qixing wouldn't want him to go, right?
"I'll leave the task of protecting Xiao Yu to Assistant Minister Dongfang's house to you.”Meng Qixing said without raising his head.
Just as Meng Xiuming had expected, it seemed like a great joke to ask a red-robed Seven Star Shadow Killer to protect someone instead of killing someone.
Meng Xiu knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he didn't argue anymore. He said,"This subordinate will obey."
Although he was kneeling and not moving, he was thinking in his heart,'Protect Xiao Yu?' Something interesting seemed to be about to happen.
Meng Qixing waved his long sleeves and sat upright. He looked at the six people kneeling in the hall and said,"Those who haven't received the mission, continue to practice. Those who have received the mission, go ahead and carry it out. Alright, all of you can leave first."
"Yes." The six of them replied in unison and left the Tiger Subdue Hall. Seeing the six of them disappear outside the door, Meng Zhinan said worriedly,"Big brother, you clearly know that Xiu Ming is the most uneducated one among the Seven Stars Shadow Kill, so why did you still send him to protect Xiao Yu?”
Meng Qixing looked outside through the window and focused on an unknown place. It was deep and bottomless. He let out a long sigh and said,"There are some things he has to know.”
A gust of cold air came from the hall. Meng Xiu Ming, who was dressed in red, walked through the winding corridor of the Seven Stars Plum Garden. He saw Su Miaoyi, who was dressed in purple, leaning lazily on the railing, enjoying the snow scenery with his eyes closed. He was very relaxed.
Compared to the others who were wearing thick winter clothes, Su Miaoyi was only wearing a thin purple dress. Her black hair was half tied up, and her graceful body was even more exquisite and alluring under the backdrop of the snow. This woman was born with the snow bone Yin Meridians, and the snow condensation technique she cultivated was like a tiger with wings in this weather. It was her nature to not be afraid of the cold.
Meng Xiuming saw that she had her eyes closed and was resting. He didn't want to disturb her, so he could only take a detour. However, that purple sleeve blocked Meng Xiuming's path. An ethereal voice sounded,"Senior Brother, why are you avoiding me like a plague god when you see me? Junior Sister is not a tiger.”
Meng Xiu Ming saw Su Miaoyi's dissatisfaction and said,""I just didn't want to disturb Junior Sister's rest, so I wanted to take a detour.”
Su Miaoyi stood up and smiled,""I knew that Senior Brother wouldn't be so heartless as to not even acknowledge his own Senior Brother and Junior Sister.”
Meng Xiuming's eyes looked ahead and he said indifferently,""I'm going to carry out a mission. If there's nothing else, junior sister, senior brother will leave first.”
Without waiting for Su Miaoyi's reply, Meng Xiu Ming had already walked around Su Miaoyi and walked forward. Su Miaoyi bit his lower lip as he watched Meng Xiu Ming leave.
"The plum blossoms in the Seven Star Plum Garden are so beautiful. It's just that the weather is too cold. Perhaps it's because of this cold weather that the plum blossoms are so beautiful.”Meng Xiuming muttered to himself as he stared at the plum blossom tree.
"Junior Brother, are you showing mercy to the fairer sex again?" A man said. Meng Xiuming turned around to look. The man who had come had a pair of eyes that were filled with love. His green robes fluttered in the wind like a fairy. If it wasn't for the identity of the number one Green Shirt, Shen Chenchen, there would be countless women who fell in love with him.
"Senior Brother, you're making fun of me again." Meng Xiuming said.
"Hehe, I just feel that the hall master actually sent you to protect Xiao Yu. I'm afraid this decision is not good.”Shen Chenchen said regretfully.
"Senior Brother, what do you mean?" Meng Xiuming asked.
"Aren't you also someone who needs protection?”Shen Yangchen said softly.
"What?" Meng Xiuming became more and more puzzled.
"Two years ago."
"You still dare to mention two years ago." Meng Xiu Ming was slightly dissatisfied." I don't know how many times that snake has appeared in my dreams. It's a nightmare.”
The corner of Shen Chenchen's mouth curled into an elegant arc as he smiled and said,""Then it's really Senior Brother's fault. So, Junior Brother, isn't this what I meant?”
"Senior Brother, you should forget about those words. Just pretend that I never said them.”Meng Xiuming said," Senior Brother, I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first."”
Shen Chenchen still wanted to say something, but Meng Xiuming had already left. His red figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
Meng Xiu Ming turned around the corridor and looked at the Phoenix Feather Sword in his hand. The Phoenix Feather Sword in his hand was shining with a cold light like snowflakes. The scabbard was exquisitely carved, and the legends about the Phoenix Feather Sword were everywhere. It was said that this sword was the sword that the famous swordsmith Dou Yi was most satisfied with. However, after it was forged, he found that the sword was too cold and difficult to control. He wanted to destroy it, but he did not expect that it would be useless. Unexpectedly, Dou Yi was injured by this sword. The sword became sharper when it came into contact with blood. In the end, Dou Yi ended his life with this sword. From then on, no one in Jianghu could forge such a weapon.
A cold light flashed, and the phoenix feather was unsheathed. Meng Xiuming looked at the sword carefully and flicked it with his finger, making a crisp sound. Meng Xiuming possessed this sword, which meant that he was already a real Red Clothed Seven Star Shadow Killer, and also Meng Qixing's killing tool.
