The night deepened, and the Qiantang River became quieter. The bright moon was still lying quietly on the river surface, gently rippling. The gentle river breeze blew past their clothes, and the waves beneath their feet gently patted the shore, like a pair of lovers snuggling and hugging.
The green-robed woman suddenly said,"Everyone says that the Qiantang River is a wonder of the world. Who would care about its calm and tranquil appearance?"”
"You're not here to watch the tide?" Chu Feng asked.
"No, I know that the tide is not at this time. What about you?"
"I'm not either. I just wanted to come here. I didn't expect to meet you.”
Both of them smiled.
"From your tone, you don't seem to be from the Central Plains?" Chu Feng asked.”
The azure-robed woman did not reply.
"Why are you covering your face?"
The azure-robed woman still did not reply.
"Can you take off your green veil crown?”
The azure-robed woman remained silent.
"Where is your home?"
The green-robed woman looked at the sparkling river surface and remained silent.
Chu Feng smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He turned to look at the river.
"Why are you asking this?" the green-robed woman asked.”
"I wanted to know, so I asked.”
"If…we have the chance to meet again, I will take off my green veil crown.”
"What do you mean?" Chu Feng asked curiously.”
The azure-robed woman did not respond.
"Actually, we've already met three times?"”
"Oh?" The green-robed woman looked at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng counted with his fingers," It was the first time on the mountain path of Gudang Mountain, the second time on the top of Gudang Mountain, and now it is the third time here."”
The green-robed woman laughed. Her laughter was even more pleasant to the ears than a oriole leaving the valley.
"Do you know why I brought you back here?" Chu Feng suddenly asked.”
"Didn't you already say that?" the green-robed woman asked curiously. The most dangerous place was often the safest place.”
Chu Feng shook his head and said,"I was lying to you just now." Actually, when I was running, I turned left and right. For a moment, even I was confused. In the end, I realized that I had turned back here.”
"So you lost your way, then why did you…" the green-robed woman said in astonishment.
"I said that just now to make you feel at ease. You were still very flustered just now."”
"Then why are you telling the truth now?”
"I saw that you had already calmed down, so I told you the truth. Lying is not the work of a real man or a real hero!”Chu Feng's expression was extremely serious.
The green-robed woman almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.""I really didn't expect that you would actually…get lost with your martial arts skills?”
Chu Feng scratched his head and said,"This seems to have nothing to do with martial arts." I'm a person who doesn't know directions. As long as I make two turns, I won't be able to tell north, south, east, and west. It seems like last night, I just arrived in Hangzhou and found an inn to stay in. Then, I went shopping on the streets. Who knew that after crossing two streets, I would forget where the inn was when I turned around. It was terrible that I didn't remember the name of the inn. I could only look around and finally found it. Even the shopkeeper laughed at me.”
The green-robed woman burst out laughing and said,""Then do you still remember how to return to that inn?”
Chu Feng scratched his head again." To be honest, I don't really remember. But it doesn't matter. I've already memorized the name of the inn."”
"I'm afraid that Young Master has forgotten the name of the inn.”
"That name…Aiya, I really forgot about it. But it doesn't matter. I moved my residence to the tallest restaurant in Hangzhou, Wangjiang Tower. I can see it at a glance.”
The green-robed woman laughed again. Her laughter was really elegant and pleasant to the ear.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the green veil covering her face was lifted a little, revealing her jade-like chin, snow-white teeth, and two delicate red lips.
Chu Feng was a little stunned as he muttered,""So beautiful! You must be very beautiful! Unfortunately…"
The green-robed woman looked at him for a long while before suddenly saying,""You…really want me to take off my green veil crown?”
Just as Chu Feng was about to speak, a gust of wind suddenly sounded from behind him. Chu Feng suddenly turned around and stood in front of the green-robed woman.
Two figures flashed over. They were the two maidservants of the green-robed woman. When they saw that the green-robed woman was safe and sound, they were surprised and happy."Miss…Miss Guo, are you alright?”
"I'm fine," the green-robed woman said in pleasant surprise.”In the blink of an eye, he saw that the two of them were covered in blood. He asked in surprise,"Are you injured?"
"It's just a light injury. It's not a big deal. We didn't protect her well enough and frightened her.”
"It's good that you're fine. How did you find me?”
"We couldn't stop them. Seeing them chasing after the young miss, we could only follow behind them. After a while, we couldn't keep up. We looked around but couldn't find her, so we turned back and didn't expect to see Miss. Why did Young Lady return here?"
Just as Chu Feng was about to speak, the green-robed woman hurriedly said,""This young master saved me and thought that you might return here to find me, so he brought me back here.”
Chu Feng couldn't help but blush.
The two maidservants hurriedly bowed to Chu Feng and said,"Thank you for saving Miss, Young Master."
"You won't be offended if I suddenly abduct your young miss, right?" Chu Feng smiled.”
"If it weren't for Young Master, we wouldn't have been able to protect Young Lady even if we risked our lives."”
"Since you've returned to this place to search, the two killers might also return here." It was not good to stay here for long. It was better to leave quickly!”
"Young Master is right, Young Miss. Let's leave quickly."”Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise. He felt something strange under his feet. He moved away and saw a black chess piece. He hurriedly bent down to pick it up and handed it to Chu Feng."Young Master, this is your chess piece."
It turned out that this was the chess piece that he had shot out to attack the two killers. The other chess piece had been knocked into the river.
Chu Feng took back the chess pieces and said,"Why don't I send you guys on your way?"”
The two maidservants said,"There's no need. We will protect the young miss."
"If you encounter those two killers again, you will have one more person to take care of you.”
"We will be careful."
Chu Feng still wanted to say something, but the green-robed woman said,""Thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master. It's fine with their protection. We don't want to implicate Young Master.”
Since the other party had spoken, Chu Feng could not force it, so he could only say,"Then take care, Miss!"
The green-robed woman bowed and was about to turn around." Wait!”Chu Feng suddenly shouted,"Miss, can you tell me your name?"”
The green-robed woman was silent for a moment. She took out a white chess piece from her bosom and handed it to Chu Feng."Young Master lost a chess piece to save me, so I'll give this white jade chess piece to Young Master. Although it's not a rare treasure, it's still a small token of my gratitude.”
The two maidservants let out a soft cry and stared at the green-robed woman with wide eyes.
Chu Feng looked at the green-robed woman's soft hands, smooth skin, slender fingers, and a snow-white jade chess piece in her palm. It was so beautiful that Chu Feng even forgot to take the white jade chess piece. The two maidservants coughed lightly, and Chu Feng recovered from his shock. He hurriedly reached out to take the jade chess piece, only to feel that the chess piece was warm and smooth. Holding it in his hand gave him a very strange and comfortable feeling.
"Young Master, farewell. Take care!”
When Chu Feng raised his head to look again, the green-robed woman had already disappeared into the vast night with the two maidservants.
Chu Feng kept the jade chess piece in his pocket and looked at the Qiantang River under the moonlight. Just as he was about to leave, his ears suddenly pricked up and he jumped down the river bank. His body was like a gecko sticking close to the bank wall, and the river water was surging by his feet.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!" Two black shadows appeared by the river. They were the two Japanese assassins who had tried to attack the green-robed woman. The two of them looked around but did not see anyone. One of them said,"Sister, how would they dare to return here? Why don't we look elsewhere?”
The voice was very delicate and crisp. It was indeed a woman, and her tone was not pure. Obviously, she was not from the Central Plains.
"Forget it, it's hard to find them now."”Their voices were also very delicate and crisp. From their tone, it seemed like they were sisters.
"What a pity. I was about to succeed, but a brat came out of nowhere and snatched her away!”
"Looking at that kid's movement technique, his skills shouldn't be weak.”
"So that green-robed woman doesn't know any martial arts. Why does Sect Master want to kill her? Sister, do you know her identity?”
"We are assassins. Don't ask about things that you don't need to know, especially in front of the sect master.”
"Got it, sister. What should we do now? If he couldn't kill her, how would he explain it to the sect master?”
"Fortunately, the sect master only told us to wait for an opportunity to kill her. He didn't say that we must kill her. This is also the sect's rule. Who asked him to ruin our business!”
"Big sister is right. Killing him will give us an explanation to the sect master. That kid really deserves to die. He actually caused us to fail. Ever since we set foot in the Central Plains, we have never failed!”
"Don't be too pleased with yourself. We haven't met the real experts of the Chinese server yet, and the Sect Master is only training us.”
Chu Feng leaned against the shore wall and heard it clearly, secretly shocked. These two female warriors were much more skilled than him. It was not a good thing to be targeted by them! Judging from their tone and their attire, they must be Japanese women. They probably just arrived in the Central Plains not long ago, so they didn't know what door they were talking about.
The two female killers mumbled for a while before finally leaving.
Chu Feng flew back to the shore and looked around, but there was no one. He looked at the sky again. It was already the fourth watch. He sat cross-legged by the river, facing the sparkling river water, concentrating and calming down. The breeze blew and the waves echoed. Today was his first time stepping into the martial world, and he felt extremely surprised.
He thought of the woman who sat on the West Lake and played the zither in the rain. The sound of the zither was like the sound of nature, and the grace of her playing the zither was even more otherworldly. Who was she? Was his surname Luo? Why do you play the zither in the rain?
He then thought of the woman who was dressed in snow-white clothes, holding an oil-paper umbrella and floating in the air. That fairy-like face was so white and flawless. Could it be that she was really a fairy who had descended to the mortal world?
He then thought of Murong, the first friend he had met when he first came out of the martial world. He felt that he and Murong had an indescribable affinity.
He thought of the green-robed woman, the scene of her leaning against the railing, and the chess game with Mr. Guizi. As he thought about it, he gradually became clear.
The news that Mr. Gudang Mountain's chess game had been broken by a nameless kid spread like wildfire, causing a stir in Jianghu. No one knew where this kid came from. They only knew that he had just come out of the martial world. He was dressed in a blue robe and carried an ancient sword on his back. He looked a little silly.
