The black sky was like satin, and the stars were like ornaments.
It was also hazy outside the window.
Meng Xiuming didn't know why he had come to this place again. Where was this place?
It was still that bluestone alley. He had clearly never been to this place before, so why did he feel like he had passed by this place many times? Why did he feel like he had met her before?
Meng Xiu Ming stood blankly at the end of the road with the Phoenix Feather Sword in his hand. There was no one around. The alley was covered with moss, and her footsteps echoed in the alley, making one's heart tremble. She walked through the long alley. There seemed to be a door on the other side of the road. The red door was half open, and there were people moving inside the door. The laughter of children came from inside the door, attracting her to walk forward step by step. The more she walked, the thicker the fog became. The milky white fog had already enveloped her. He could not see the road ahead clearly.
A voice told her not to go over, not to go over. However, her legs still refused to listen to her and walked towards the door. She wanted to find out what was inside the door.
A burst of playful sounds rang out, and Meng Xiuming stopped. A few children passed by her, and two of the little girls stopped curiously as they passed by her. They stared at Meng Xiuming with innocent eyes. One of them had cinnabar between her brows, and the other looked just like her younger self. When Meng Xiuming was about to say something, the children ran into the fog and disappeared.
These children seemed to have seen them somewhere before. Where had they seen them before?
"Jingrong, Jingsheng, Xuesu, Little Seven, run slowly.”A woman's voice came from behind him. Meng Xiu Ming stopped and turned around. A woman smiled sweetly as she walked towards him." Little Seven, why did you stop?”
Meng Xiuming looked at the woman. Her features were as beautiful as a painting. She recognized her. She was the number one beauty of the pugilistic world, Liu Ruyan. Meng Xiuming was puzzled and asked,""Miss, are you calling me?"
The woman smiled and said,"My Little Seven has grown so big.”The woman caressed Meng Xiuming's hair lovingly." You're still as mischievous as when you were young. You don't even recognize your own mother."”
Meng Xiuming was stunned on the spot.
Mother, the warmth from the woman's palm transmitted something called maternal love. Meng Xiuming was very attached to that feeling, but beautiful times were always so short.
"Alright, Mother, it's time to go home. You have had enough fun and you have to go home early. Otherwise, Father will lose his temper. When Father loses his temper, he is very serious.”The woman pouted her lips as she spoke. She was obviously very helpless, but she still smiled gently and left. Meng Xiu Ming wanted to grab the woman's clothes, but there was nothing in his hands. It was empty.
The woman disappeared after stepping through the bluestone alley. The fog dispersed, and the door disappeared. Meng Xiuming was still standing at the end of the road, surrounded by wet walls. Meng Xiuming shouted in horror,"Mother, mother, don't go.”
"Mother." Meng Xiuming opened his eyes abruptly and sat up. It was still hazy outside the window. He was still in his room in the inn. Dream, dream again. Was it really Liu Ruyan? Was it really Liu Ruyan's daughter?
Liu Ruyan felt so warm when she caressed her.
That feeling was so real.
It was as if a thousand years had passed. The things in the room overlapped with the scenes in Meng Xiuming's dream through his misty eyes. They were real and ethereal. Her heart ached faintly, and some parts of her heart were slightly sour. She wanted to call out to the woman, but the woman's figure was like a reflection in the water, gradually drifting away until she disappeared.
Meng Xiuming took a deep breath, and his eyes became clear. Then, he lay down again. Although he was no longer sleepy, he still lay on the bed with his eyes wide open and looked out the window. Suddenly, there was a crashing sound coming from the top of the room. Meng Xiuming's first reaction was that someone was walking on top of the room with qinggong.
Could it be Xiao Yu? It was impossible for Xiao Yu to be so bored and not sleep on the roof in the middle of the night. It could be Xiao Jiu. No, Xiao Jiu's qinggong was much better than this person's. The person's footsteps were obviously not easy, and there was more than one person. All the deductions were overturned when someone pushed open the window and rushed in like a fish.
It was two men in black.
The two men in black tiptoed straight towards Meng Xiuming's bed. Without any explanation, they chopped down at Meng Xiuming. Meng Xiuming straightened his back and easily dodged the attacks of the two men in black.
"Don't you think it's rude to come uninvited?”Meng Xiuming's back was pressed against the deck of the ship, and he hung there like a bat.
The two men in black looked at each other and didn't say anything. They once again swung their swords at Meng Xiuming. Meng Xiuming pulled out his sword and blocked the two swords.
Two men in black broke out of the window, and Meng Xiu Ming followed behind them. The three of them stood in front of the door of the Immortal Taste Restaurant, facing the cold wind. The swords in their hands were also shining with a dazzling cold light, making people shudder.
"Who are you?" Meng Xiu Ming stood with his sword behind his back, his cold tone unquestionable.
"You're the red-robed shadow killer Meng Xiuming?”One of the women asked. Although the newcomer was dressed in black and had a black veil over his face, judging from his figure and voice, Meng Xiuming could tell that it was two women who wanted to kill him.
"That's right, I am Meng Xiuming." Meng Xiuming replied.
"Either you die today, or we two sisters die.”Another woman said. There was anger and despair in her tone.
Encountering the red-clothed shadow killer Meng Xiuming, the outcome for most people was the same, and that was death. It seemed that these two women were determined to fight to the death.
Meng Xiuming had killed many people, and there were many people who wanted to kill her. Meng Xiuming glanced at these two assassins lightly, and they came to him voluntarily. It had to be said that they were very brave.
The two of them looked at each other and assumed the same posture of holding a sword. Just as Meng Xiuming was about to step forward to receive the attack, another two figures flashed from behind Meng Xiuming and pounced towards the two women.
Meng Xiu Ming didn't see how the two men had flown past his head. No one could describe the speed of the two men. They were like lightning. It could only be said that they were really fast.
The two women's martial arts weren't bad, and the two men who came after them weren't bad either. One was in yellow, and the other was in green. It seemed that the death of these two women had arrived, because they were the other two of the Seven Stars Shadow Kill, the yellow-clothed Shadow Kill Bai Fantian and the green-clothed Shadow Kill Bai Chuanyun.
Xiao Yu heard the noise and rushed over in a cloak. When he saw the light and shadow of the swords and sabers, he came to Meng Xiuming's side as if he was watching a good show and asked,"Wow, what's going on?"
"Those two women came to kill me.”Meng Xiu Ming said lightly," Of course, someone saved me.”
"Oh." Xiao Yu looked at the two women in black who were fighting with admiration and said regretfully,"How audacious. They actually came to assassinate Little Meng, who is highly skilled in martial arts. They also encountered the yellow-robed Shadowthorn and the green-robed Shadowthorn. It seems that they can't keep their lives, but they are still very brave.”
Meng Xiu Ming slightly looked at Xiao Yu. No matter what, Xiao Yu could always look at things with a playful look. It seemed that everything was very interesting in his eyes. It seemed that he really wanted to know how these two women died.
After dozens of rounds, the two women in black were defeated. With two plop sounds, the two women in black were thrown by Bai Fantian and Bai Chuanyun to Meng Xiuming's feet. Meng Xiuming said,""Thank you, Senior Brothers."
"You're too polite, Junior Brother." Bai Fantian said.”
The two of them used their swords to remove the black veil covering the black-robed woman's face. The corners of the two women's mouths were faintly stained with blood. One of the women stared at Meng Xiuming and fiercely said,"Today, we sisters can't kill you. If you want to kill me or cut me up, it's up to you.”
"Ah!" Screams came from the room, and Xiao Yu thought to himself,"Not good, Ming Yue is still in the room.”
Xiao Yu turned around and ran, but he bumped into a solid chest. Xiao Yu rubbed his head. The person was dressed in orange, which was no different from the ones in front of him. Needless to say, it was the orange-robed shadow killer Fang Poxiao. Dongfang Mingyue stuck her head out from behind and asked,"Brother Xiao, are you okay?"
"I heard you shouting, and I thought you were.”Xiao Yu watched Dongfang Mingyue walk out from behind Fang Poxiao unscathed, and his worried heart relaxed.
"Just now, a man in black wanted to kidnap me. It was all thanks to this young hero that I was saved.”Dongfang Mingyue said, still in shock.
When the three of them saw the scene in front of them, Fang Poxiao didn't say anything and walked straight to Meng Xiuming's side. Meng Xiuming said,""Senior Brother Daybreak, are you here to join in the fun?”
"It doesn't matter if there's another commotion." Fang Poxiao said indifferently.
Meng Xiuming looked up at the two women and said,"Why do you want to kill me?”
One of the women glared at him with hatred in her eyes and said,"I was just about to ask you. We sisters have never had any grudges with you, so why did you come to kill us?”
"What a joke." Meng Xiuming calmly said," When did I say I wanted to kill you? I don't even know who you are.”
"Junior brother, there's no point in talking.”Bai Fantian said.
"Don't kill them." Dongfang Mingyue shouted," They are all good people. I think there must be some misunderstanding.”
"Misunderstanding?" Meng Xiuming was puzzled." Could it be that Miss Dongfang knows them?”
"Yes, they are the sisters of Qingzhou. The elder sister is Jiang Fu, and the younger sister is Jiang Zhi. They usually do chivalrous deeds, rob the rich, help the poor, and eliminate the violent. They are the sisters in the eyes of the people of Qingzhou.”Dongfang Mingyue explained.
"Whether it's a heroine or a female thief, they've become enemies with Seven Stars Shadow Kill. Today, they were defeated by our sword, so they have to die.”Bai Fantian's sword moved closer to one of the women.
"No, it's not too late to kill him after I ask.”Dongfang Mingyue stopped him. Meng Xiuming shook his head, and Bai Fantian took another step back. Dongfang Mingyue squatted down and asked,""Sisters, why are you here to kill Young Master Meng? Although he has killed people before, he is just like you, killing bad people.”
"Are you Miss Dongfang?" A woman asked.
Dongfang Mingyue nodded.
"We received a letter saying that the red-clothed Shadow Killer Meng Xiu Ming will come tonight at midnight to take our lives.”Jiang Zhi clutched her chest and said.
"Taking the lives of the two of you is nonsense.”Meng Xiuming rolled his eyes and said.
"I think there must be some misunderstanding.”Xiao Yu pinched his chin and said,"Why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"”
"Senior Brother Fan Tian, Senior Brother Chuanyun, please take these two girls back to recuperate.”Meng Xiuming muttered.
This was the first time he had to treat them after injuring them.
Xiao Yu's room was lit with an oil lamp, and the glass cover covered the dim yellow candlelight. Little bugs kept bumping into it.
"Sisters, what's going on?”Dongfang Mingyue asked.
With the help of Bai Fantian and Bai Chuanyun, Jiang Fu and Jiang Zhi had adjusted their breathing and sat around the table with them.
"This is the letter." His sister, Jiang Fu, took out a letter from her bosom. Meng Xiuming took it and looked at it. It was indeed written on the letter. Tonight at midnight, Meng Xiuming would come to take your lives. Every word was filled with killing intent.
"The two of us sisters thought that since the red-clothed shadow killer Meng Xiuming was coming, we had no chance of winning. We heard that Meng Xiuming had already arrived in Qingzhou and was living here. Instead of waiting to die, it was better to risk our lives and take a gamble.”Her sister Jiang Fu continued. Cough cough, it seemed that her injuries were not light.
Meng Xiuming stared at the letter in a daze. Xiao Yu asked,"Could it be that someone deliberately lured the Barker sisters to kill you?”
"I knew it. There must be some misunderstanding.”Dongfang Mingyue said.
"I have many enemies, and there will be many people who want to kill me. It doesn't matter who they are.”Meng Xiuming opened the glass lamp cover and burned the letter into ashes, which fluttered to the ground.
"By the way, there was a man in black who wanted to kidnap me just now. Could it be her?”Dongfang Mingyue suddenly said.
"That black-clothed person shouldn't be here for Miss Dongfang. She's very skilled. I exchanged a few moves with her. From her figure, it should be a woman.”Fang Poxiao said.
"It doesn't matter who it is. We just have to be careful. Everyone, go and rest." Meng Xiuming said.
Fang Poxiao, Bai Fantian, and Bai Chuanyun disappeared through the window.
"Wow, what good skills." Xiao Yu praised," Little Meng, you should stay here tonight. Otherwise, what if the men in black attack you again?"”
Meng Xiuming extinguished the candle, and the room instantly turned pitch-black. A cold voice said,""Young Master Xiao, you better protect Miss Dongfang and yourself.”
The building quieted down. A woman stood on the roof facing the wind. Her black hair was blown by the cold wind. Her indifferent eyes were filled with a cold light as she said indifferently,"Tang Xiaoqi, you're finally here.
His figure flashed, leaving only the flag fluttering in the wind in the cold night.
