" Qian 'er can't stay idle at home," Jade Raksha said." She has no target in Jianghu, so she came to find you." What's the matter, you're not welcome?”
"How dare I? I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you both very much."”
"You're the White Horse Young Master Xu," Shangguan Wanqian said."Do you have time to think about a nameless little girl like me?”
"It's an eventful time now," Xu Zhutao said."As long as you gain some experience in Jianghu, I believe you'll be able to win a stunning title."”
Shangguan Wanqian said," You're right. Now, not only is the North-South Greenwood Alliance going to war, but even the Demonic Sect that has disappeared for many years has reappeared in the martial world!"”
"Ah!" Xu Zhutao was shocked and asked. I've heard of the Demonic Sect before. It's said that it has disappeared from Jianghu for forty years. How do you know that the Demonic Sect has reappeared in Jianghu?”
Shangguan Wanqian said," Yesterday, before we entered the city, we met the Three Emei Beauties in a forest. They were chased by the Demon Sect and one of them was seriously injured!”
Xu Zhutao said," A few days ago, I met the Three Beauties of Emei and the Four Dusts Sword of Kunlun on the street. At that time, I felt that something was not right. As expected, something happened. What exactly happened?" Young Lady, quickly tell me!"
Shangguan Wanqian then told him in detail about her encounter with the Three Emei Beauties yesterday.
Xu Zhutao said in surprise," The Four Dusts Sword and the Three Prodigies of Emei are both highly skilled martial artists. How could someone be injured the moment they met? Aunt Shangguan, are these people from the Demonic Sect that powerful?"”
Jade Raksha said," The Demonic Sect has always been secretive. Very few people in the martial arts world know that they have any experts. It's fine if they don't appear in the martial arts world, but once they do, it's bound to cause chaos. I don't know much about the Demonic Sect. I only know that they come from the west, in the Sea of Constellations."”
"Aunt, can you guess why they came?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
Jade Raksha said," Yesterday, the Three Beauties of Emei said that they came down the mountain to investigate the whereabouts of the Demonic Sect. They said that someone had reported to the Sect Master of Emei and the Sect Master of Kunlun that the traces of the Demonic Sect had appeared in the Jianghu. They did not know why the Demonic Sect had come. Sigh, the Jianghu is really going to be in chaos!"”
"Aunt, what's the style of the Demonic Sect?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
Jade Raksha said," The Demonic Sect has always been arrogant and arrogant. They have always done things their own way. When they have disputes with people in the martial arts world, they are ruthless and unscrupulous. They will do anything to achieve their goals!"”
Xu Zhutao and the Departed Souls returned to the Building of Pines and Cranes and went back to their rooms to practice.
Early the next morning, He Kangbai found him after breakfast and left home, advising him to be more careful in Jianghu.
They stayed in the Building of Pines and Cranes for another five days. Apart from eating and practicing, they had nothing else to do.
That day, Xu Zhutao had just woken up when someone came looking for him, followed by Zhang Hongwu. It was Zhu Xuan, but she was no longer dressed as a man. Even Xu Zhutao was stunned by her beauty. She was wearing a white gauze dress, and her long black hair was tied into a double-edged bun. She had a golden hairpin engraved with a colorful phoenix. Her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were like stars, her delicate nose was delicate, her thin lips were bright, her jade neck was slender, her chest was high, her waist was thin, her legs were slender, and she had a pair of small three-inch golden lotuses. Her entire body exuded a graceful and luxurious aura.
"Puchi!" A light laugh rang out.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Don't you recognize me?" Zhu Xuan asked.”
"Zhu…Princess, I finally see you. It seems that you have received the letter." Xu Zhutao stammered.”
"Of course I received it. If I didn't receive it, would I have come here to find you?" Zhu Xuan said. Oh, you brought a friend. Quickly introduce him to me!”
Xu Zhutao pointed at Ding Ling and said,"This is Miss Ding Ling." He then pointed at Ding Feng and said,"This is Ding Feng. You met them at the Yuebin Restaurant in Hua County."”
Zhu Xuan looked at Ding Ling and remembered. She said,"Yes, I even toasted this Miss Ding!”
Ding Ling and Ding Ling hurriedly greeted Zhu Xuan. When people in the martial arts world greeted someone, they simply cupped their fists and bowed. The two of them didn't know if it was appropriate, so they cupped their fists and said to Zhu Xuan,"Greetings, Princess Zhu!"
Zhu Xuan waved her hand and said," There's no need to be so polite, Miss Ding. Just treat me as a Jianghu person. You don't have to call me Princess. Just call me Miss Zhu." Zhang Hongwu, go find a private room. I want to have a good chat with Brother Xu and the two girls.”
Zhang Hongwu immediately went to find the shopkeeper to book a private room and personally went to see the environment in the private room. After a while, he came back and led the few of them over. The few of them walked into the private room and saw that the windows were bright and clean. The indoor appliances were all clean and tidy. Zhang Hongwu retreated and stood guard outside the door.
Xu Zhutao said," Princess, you've lowered your status to make friends with me. I…I…" He really didn't know how to say this. This was the first time he had met someone from the imperial court, and the other party was a noble princess.
Zhu Xuan said,"I told you not to call me princess. Sit down and talk." How long have you been here?"
" We've been here for almost ten days," Xu Zhutao said." We heard that Qian Xiangyi's silk and satin store will provide silk and satin to the Prince's mansion. That's why we thought of asking Shopkeeper Li to send a letter to you."”
"Sorry to keep you waiting." I heard that there is a white horse in the martial arts world, but is it you?”
Xu Zhutao said,"Miss Zhu, please forgive me. The reason I parted ways with you that time was because I rushed to Sunset Horse Farm." How do you know about these things in the martial arts world?”
"Well, there are some guards in our mansion who are from Jianghu." Zhu Xuan smiled. Did you all come here just to see me?”
"I'm here to see you, especially Miss Ding Ling…" Xu Zhutao said.
Ding Ling's face was already red with embarrassment, not knowing what to do. She couldn't possibly say that she had fallen in love with Young Master Zhu the moment she met him at Yuebin Restaurant that day, right? In the end, Young Master Zhu was actually a princess. Now that the Young Master Zhu that he admired had become Miss Zhu, he felt inexplicably angry and sad. He did not know what to say now.
"Hehe!" Ding Feng said. It's just that Young Master Zhu has become Miss Zhu. It seems that my sister's infatuation is going to go down the drain.”She did not seem to care about the noble status of the princess and still had a playful personality towards her friends.
Zhu Xuan looked at Ding Ling and said apologetically,""Due to my special identity, in order to avoid trouble, I am used to dressing up as a man when I walk in the martial world. I hope Miss Ding Ling can forgive me. In the future, I will definitely find an outstanding disciple for you and fulfill your wish.”
"Don't…Don't listen to my sister's nonsense. I didn't…" Ding Ling said shyly.
Zhu Xuan said," Miss, don't be shy. There's a white horse young master beside you. I think it's not bad. What do you think?"”
Ding Ling was even more embarrassed." Stop joking around. How could that guy take a fancy to an ugly girl like me?"”
"I don't think you're ugly at all," Zhu Xuan said."You're a rare beauty."”After saying that, he walked to the door and asked Zhang Hongwu to arrange the food and wine. Ding Ling was secretly shocked and thought to herself, Could it be that she has already seen through my face?
Not long after, a sumptuous feast of wine and food was delivered. Zhang Hongwu came in and tasted everything before going out to guard the door.
The few of them began to eat and drink and reminisce. Zhu Xuan seemed to be very interested in the things of Jianghu. She asked Xu Zhutao about what happened after they parted ways, and Xu Zhutao told her one by one. During the banquet, Ding Feng talked about the Four-Dust Sword and the Three Beauties of Emei. Zhu Xuan asked who these people were, and Ding Ling explained. They all felt that something was about to happen.
The gathering was about to end at noon. Before Zhu Xuan left, she took out a jade pendant and gave it to Xu Zhutao, saying,"This is my token. If you come looking for me again in the future, you can show this jade pendant to the guards at the entrance of the king's mansion. That way, I will know that you have come. After a short reunion, we have to say goodbye again. You have disappeared in Jianghu. I don't know when we will meet again.”After saying that, she sighed softly.
Xu Zhutao saw that the jade pendant was green in color with dragons and phoenixes carved on it. He knew that it was made of high-quality jade. There was a hole in the jade pendant, and there was a beautiful red pendant hanging from it. The pendant was embroidered with the word Xuan, and there was a tassel at the bottom.
Xu Zhutao said," How could I dare to accept such a precious thing? Miss Zhu, you have a golden branch and jade leaves. If I can't achieve something great, I won't have the face to see you again."”
Zhu Xuan said,"Why are you treating me as an outsider? If you can't achieve great things, are we not friends?"”
Xu Zhutao took it in fear and trepidation and said,"That's not the case. Lady is a beautiful orchid. It's my honor to have a good friend like you. I will be even more diligent.”
Zhu Xuan chuckled and said,"You have a glib tongue. You don't look like a Jianghu person at all!"”
After sending Zhu Xuan and Zhang Hongwu off, Ding Feng said,""Hey! Young Master White Horse, what should we do next? Could it be that he had to stay here forever?”
"The North-South Greenwood Alliance hasn't started the war yet, and Jiujiang isn't far from here." We are not in a hurry to watch the show. We might as well practice martial arts in this short period of time. When the time comes, we will not be afraid of danger.”
Xu Zhutao also thought so, so the three of them continued to stay in the Building of Pines and Cranes. They worked hard and rarely went out.
Xu Zhutao was worried. Now that the North-South Greenwood Alliance was about to fight to the death, the Demonic Sect had reappeared in Jianghu at this time. Moreover, the purpose of the Demonic Sect was unknown. If the Demonic Sect took advantage of the North-South Greenwood Alliance's fight and took advantage of it, wouldn't they be able to reap the benefits?
Xu Zhutao said," I originally wanted to go to Jiujiang to see the excitement of the Northern and Southern Green Forest Alliances. Now that the Demonic Sect has reappeared in the martial world, it would be bad if the Demonic Sect took the opportunity to reap the benefits. We have to guard against this. Aunt, do you know where the Northern Green Forest Alliance Master Ma Huateng and the Southern Green Forest Alliance Master Li Yanhong live?”
"What do you want to do, kid?" Jade Raksha asked.”
"Sigh, I want to persuade the Northern and Southern Greenwood Alliance to shake hands and make peace, to prevent both sides from causing great damage."”
"Although you have good intentions, I'm afraid that people won't listen to you." Rome wasn't built in a day, and the North-South Greenwood Alliance had been enemies for a long time.”
"You have to work hard to know whether you can do it or not. How about you come with me, aunt?" Xu Zhutao said. I think with aunt's great name, the Alliance Master of the Northern and Southern Greenwoods would have to give her some face.”
Jade Raksha said," Alright, I don't want the Chinese martial arts world to suffer a great loss. I heard that the Northern Green Forest Alliance Master Ma Huateng's family is in Nanyang Prefecture in Henan Province, while the Southern Green Forest Alliance Master Li Yanhong is in Fuzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi Province. What I'm worried about is that I might not be able to meet them at home. After all, the date of their battle is in a few days. A few days won't be enough for us to go to these two places. This place isn't too far from Nanyang, so we might as well go to Nanyang first."”
"Alright, let's go after lunch."”
"Young Master Xu, where is Sister Zhao?" Shangguan Wanqian asked.”
"My cousin returned home a few days ago when she was in Jiangling."”
"Then why did we hear that you have an ugly woman by your side?" Shangguan Wanqian asked. Who is that woman?"
Xu Zhutao said," Oh, those are the two daughters of the Death Soul Valley. The ugly woman you mentioned is Miss Ding Ling. They live here too. I'll call them over to introduce them to you."”As he spoke, he called the two beauties of the dead souls.
Xu Zhutao called the two beauties of the dead souls to introduce the four of them. He also told them about the appearance of the Demon Cult in Jianghu and the fact that some of the Three Beauties of Emei were injured by the Demon Cult. Shangguan Wanqian sized up the two beauties and saw that Ding Feng was wearing a purple gauze dress. Her hair was tied up in a bun, her eyebrows were thin, her nose was sharp, her eyes were bright, and her teeth were white. Her cheeks were slightly round, and she had a delicate and silly expression. Her skin was fair and her legs were slender. Then, he shifted his gaze to size Ding Ling up and found that her figure was extremely well-proportioned. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her legs were long and delicate. His gaze stared straight at Ding Ling's scarred and ugly face, as if he wanted to see flowers on her face."This Ding Feng is a strong opponent. I just don't know why Ding Ling has so many scars on her face.”
Ding Ling felt uncomfortable under Shangguan Wanqian's gaze and said angrily,""Why are you looking at me like that? You! You're not a man!"
"You must be the one who exposed the Wandering Dragon Swordsman?" Shangguan Wanqian asked. Sorry for the disrespect!" Although he said it was disrespectful, he did not think much of it in his heart.
"Hmph, you must be the owner of the Dragon Abyss Sword?" Ding Ling said. I've heard a lot about you!"
Shangguan Wanqian raised the sword in her hand and said,""I am the Dragon Abyss Swordmaster. Don't be too envious, miss!”
Xu Zhutao saw that Shangguan Wanqian and Ding Ling did not seem to get along well. He did not look at the sword in Shangguan Wanqian's hand carefully just now. Now, he saw that it was an ancient and unremarkable wooden scabbard. The scabbard's mouth, middle and end were wrapped in copper plates. There was a simple pattern carved on the three copper plates. The sword was not unsheathed, but it already gave people a chill. He quickly said,"So Young Lady has already found a skilled craftsman to forge such a good scabbard. What material was the inner layer of the scabbard made of?”
"The inner layer is made of green shark skin. I don't want to be too conspicuous, so I specially asked the craftsman to make the scabbard inconspicuous."”
"It is said that the Dragon Abyss was forged by Ou Yezi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Sister Shangguan, can you lend me this ancient divine weapon?" Ding Feng asked.”
