Chapter 177 Sword Skills

The banquet is over.

Ou Yinglian and Wu Yin went out to look for clues respectively.

Gan Liang stayed and continued chatting with the room clerk, guiding him to give more detailed information.

Wei Tao left the living room.

Take a slow walk in Fang's mansion.

The walls in many places in the corridor are mottled, revealing the original color of the blue bricks underneath.

Rainwater fell from the eaves and fell to the ground, making a row of neat little pits in the soil.

From time to time, maids and servants walked by quickly. Everyone looked in a hurry, with serious expressions, and almost no smile.

Wei Tao walked slowly along the corridor and stopped at the corner.

Going further, there is a closed courtyard door.

"There are accommodations prepared for you inside."

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded.

Wei Tao turned around and saw Miss Fang coming from the other side of the corner.

She was still wearing that green outfit, with a three-foot green sword on her waist, and she looked a bit heroic.

"My father lied to me. Now I want to know what happened in the town."

"What do you mean by the thin-skinned grass you mentioned at the door?"

She came closer step by step, with a serious expression on her face.

"Don't worry too much about children, as they will age faster."

Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and reached out to push open the partially closed wooden door.

"I see you are not too old, so why can you become the deacon of Qingfeng Temple?"

Miss Fang followed, her voice a little more curious, "Aren't you very powerful? What kind of skills do you practice?"

"Let me tell you, I am actually very powerful.

Even the teacher said that my cultivation qualifications are one in a thousand and cannot be compared with those of ordinary martial arts masters."

When she said this, her expression dimmed and she sighed quietly.

"It's a pity that my father always doesn't believe that I am very powerful, and he hides things from me.

He always thought that I was still the little girl who was always afraid of the dark night and needed protection in everything.

But he didn’t know that I had grown up and started practicing martial arts as a disciple, so I was no longer the weak person he thought I was.”

"Why don't you say anything? Is it because you find me annoying?"

"I'm listening, go on."

Wei Tao looked back at her and asked casually, "Does your father know that you practice martial arts?"

Miss Fang nodded, but then shook her head, "He just thought I was still having fun like before, but he didn't know that I was a true genius in cultivation and was already very powerful."

"Okay, who is your teacher who teaches you martial arts and what is his name?"

The girl suddenly froze, thought for a moment and then whispered, "I don't know the teacher's name either, I just call her mother-in-law."

"Oh……"

Wei Tao laughed, "It reminds me of many plots in storytelling, where a reclusive master discovers a talented person.

Then he quietly accepted him as a disciple and taught him carefully, but kept it secret so that no one else would know.

Until a great danger suddenly appears in front of everyone, you, as the protagonist, come out to defeat the powerful enemies and save everyone."

"Why do you think the same as me?"

She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Then he said with confidence, "But the teacher is indeed not an ordinary warrior. If you have the opportunity to meet her, you will definitely change your mind."

"Okay, after I finish taking care of things here, if I still have some free time, I'll go with you..."

Wei Tao said with a smile, then suddenly fell silent.

He turned around suddenly and looked to one side.

His gaze passed through a somewhat dark corridor and looked toward the back wall of the courtyard further away.

Waves of moisture passed through the corridor, bringing a deep chill, and seemed to be mixed with a faint smell of blood.

Standing on the tree behind the wall was a figure with disheveled hair and a skinny figure.

The man's eyes, half covered by dirty hair, were looking towards the Fang Family Courtyard.

Wei Tao's energy and blood surged, and his feet instantly sank into the ground.

But before he could exert any force, the figure disappeared like a ghost.

It was as if what was standing there just now was just an illusion.

Whoosh!

Wei Tao dodged a few times and came to the wall.

Standing down from a high position, his eyes scanned everything he could see.

But they didn't find that skinny figure.

The clothes rustled, and Miss Fang also stood on the wall, imitating him and looking around.

After a moment, he asked confusedly, "What are you looking for?"

Wei Tao shook his head, "It's nothing, maybe I was dazzled just now."

Since the little girl didn't see it, there's no point in talking too much to her. It's better to just keep silent and leave a lot of troubles in the follow-up questions.

"Oh, I thought you found traces of the enemy."

She jumped off the wall and kept saying, "You were quite fast just now. If I react a little slower, I will be unable to catch up.

From this, it seems that you really have two skills, and you are not the kind of charlatan who pretends to be very powerful."

"How about it, do you want to compete with me and let me test your strength?"

Wei Tao walked slowly.

Automatically filter out the interference from the little girl in your ear.

But just a moment later, he suddenly stopped in the open space in the courtyard.

Looking at the young face that hadn't really grown yet, he nodded slowly, "It's okay to compete, but if you lose, don't appear in front of me again in the next few days, let alone keep talking about it."

"Okay, you have to know that my most powerful thing is..."

Click!

Her eyes rolled white, and she was gently lifted up by her neck. Her hands and legs were waving desperately in the air, but to no avail.

"The competition is over, you have lost."

After a while, Wei Tao slowly put her down and carefully wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

"If you lose, you can leave now and don't appear in front of me again in the near future."

Miss Fang's body stiffened and her chest heaved violently.

Her face was full of dissatisfaction, "You just launched a sneak attack, and you have no martial ethics at all."

"oh?"

Wei Tao smiled and said, "If you win, you will win. If you lose, you will lose. How can there be so many reasons?"

He turned around and was about to leave, but stopped as soon as he started.

"Forget it, I'll give you another chance to see how far you have practiced."

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He stood five meters away and held the hilt of the sword behind his back with his right hand.

"Are you ready?" Wei Tao asked.

"Ready." She nodded solemnly.

Uh-huh...

The wind suddenly blew up, carrying the raindrops, and it was already approaching in an instant.

She narrowed her eyes subconsciously.

In the only gap left in her sight, a figure was like a ghost, occupying her entire field of vision in an instant.

Even though his speed was frightening, Miss Fang didn't panic because she still had a sword.
To be continued...
