In Duxia Garden, Gu Xiao was in the room arranged by the He family. Although he had been on the road a lot, his body was already exhausted, but the disappearance of Lin'er, Uncle Li and others, as well as the incident of the black hair, especially in front of him, Gu Xiao
Not feeling sleepy at all, he got up and left the room, wandering around in the Twilight Summer Garden.
I happened to see Jiang Ningxue standing alone in the garden, staring at the back mountain of the He family's courtyard, as if recalling the legend about the liger that He Bufan had just said in front of the He family's courtyard.
The beauty under the moon, dressed in white and wearing a black cloak, looked back at Gu Xiao and said softly: "Do you believe what He Bufan said?"
Gu Xiao thought of his master Chi Ke in the illusion of the void, and what brother Tianya told about the Momen's ancestor slaying the dragon, and said with a wry smile: "Originally I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after I went down the mountain, what happened to me
, what you hear makes people have to believe it.”
"I have never figured out before that the He family holds competitions every year and promotes masters in the world. It seems that it is probably because of this liger beast." Jiang Ningxue nodded slightly.
Gu Xiao frowned and said: "There is one thing I haven't figured out yet. Since the ancestor of the He family has good relations with Chongyang Bi, and Chongyang Bi knows so many famous heroes in the world, if Chongyang Bi can invite these masters to take action, then
Wouldn't it be easy to capture the liger without any help?"
"This is also what I am puzzled by. Moreover, this liger is just a legend. To mobilize troops and spend countless money for this is really childish." Jiang Ningxue also frowned.
While the two were talking, they heard the noise outside Muxia Garden. Immediately afterwards, a group of people in brocade clothes entered the garden proudly. The leader was Jin Buyi, a square-faced man in front of the He family in Zangbei City, followed closely.
Behind them are Laughing Yama, Thousand-Armed Tathagata, Fang Yuehua and others.
Xiaoyan Luo was wearing a disgusting smile and said flatteringly to Jin Buyi: "Brother Jin, tomorrow is the day for the competition. I am afraid that our Hejiabao will become famous again this year."
Fan Yuqi, the Thousand-Armed Tathagata with a goatee, had a sneer on his face: "The day of the competition means that some of our brothers will be replaced by new ones, Xiaoyan Luo, you have to be careful tomorrow.
.”
When Xiao Yanluo heard this, he replied in a strange way: "Hmph, I'm afraid that Fan Daxia must be careful. This year, there will be masters from Shui Jian Sect and Ni Dao Sect participating. Our enshrined position will not belong to us until tomorrow."
We don’t know yet, but I have ordered someone to find a quiet place in Meiyue Garden for us, Hero Fan."
"Okay, okay, let's get back to the business. The competition will start tomorrow. You have to prepare well and go to rest early." Jin Buyi still had the same impartial and upright attitude and stopped the quarrel between Xiaoyan Luo and Fan Yuqi.
Afterwards, Jin Buyi turned to Fang Yuehua's side and said with some concern: "Yuehua, you are tired today, so you still need to have a good rest. If you can keep your enshrinement position this time, you can stay at He's house with peace of mind in the future.
Already."
Fang Yuehua nodded lightly in agreement. The lazy-looking man next to her, with a meaningful smile on his face, came to Jin Buyi and said: "Brother Jin, I have worked a lot today, why don't you let us have a good time too?"
rest."
Jin Buyi knew that this person had already seen his feelings for Fang Yuehua. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he teased this person: "You kid, it's good if you don't be lazy. Do you still need to have a good rest? Okay, let's go. We're all gone."
Gone."
While a few people were talking, they had already arrived in Muxia Garden. All the worshipers in brocade clothes saw Gu Xiao who was talking to Jiang Ningxue in the garden.
Perhaps when Gu Xiao signed up in front of the He family's mansion during the day, he left a deep impression on all the worshipers in brocade clothes. Everyone nodded when they saw Gu Xiao, and Gu Xiao also returned the favor one by one.
Jin Buyi walked up to Gu Xiao, cupped his hands and said, "I told you, young hero, that he would be here tomorrow at noon. I didn't expect him to arrive so quickly. He has already arrived today."
"I would also like to thank Master Jin for the jade token so that I can live in the Muxia Garden." Gu Xiao learned from He Bufan how precious this jade token was and thanked Jin Buyi.
"There is no need to be too polite. Since Jin is worshiped by the He family, it is my duty to recruit talents from the He family. It is getting late. Young hero, please rest early. There is a curfew in the He family courtyard.
Please abide by it, young hero." While Jin Buyi returned the gift to Gu Xiao, he also informed Gu Xiao of the rules of the He family's villa, and the implication was that Gu Xiao should stay in Muxia Garden honestly.
"Where do these rules come from? I don't know." A calm voice came to everyone's ears.
In the He family, no one knew Jin Buyi's status. It was really bold for this person to dare to refute Jin Buyi's reputation in public.
"How presumptuous, who dares to speak like this to Brother Jin?" Xiao Yanluo has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, and finally found a position as a worshiper of the He family. He regards this position of worship as a treasure, and his daily life becomes even more...
He was trying to please Jin Buyi, and the people who lived in the Duxia Garden were worshiped by the He family, and Jin Buyi was the leader of them all. When he heard someone dared to speak rudely to Jin Buyi, Xiaoyan Luo immediately struck back with his sharp voice.
It's ridiculous that Yama has forgotten that on weekdays, the He family's offerings are all about gold and horse head, but recently it is the day of the He family's arena, and those holding jade cards will also stay in Muxia Garden.
Following the words of Laughing Yama, everyone followed the sound and saw a man in gray clothes standing in the corridor. There was a sharp look in his eyebrows, his nose was high, and he had a gray forehead bandage, made of pure gold.
A small word "dao" was embedded in the middle of Mo Mo's forehead, and a single sword with a slender and straight blade was inserted diagonally at his waist.
Seeing this person's attire, the arrogant look of the Laughing Yama General suddenly disappeared, replaced by deep fear in his eyes.
"It turns out that he is the eldest disciple of Ni Dao Sect Master Ni Dao, and it was Jin who was abrupt." Jin Buyi is indeed a famous figure on the Lingjue list for a long time. Although the other party did not leave any sympathy for him, Jin Buyi
There was no trace of emotion on his face. Instead, he was smiling, and he cupped his hands towards the man in gray.
The man in gray clothes ignored Jin Buyi's greetings. A pair of dark brown eyes crossed Jin Buyi and fell on Xiao Yanluo behind him. The He family priest who looked directly at him was restless. After a moment, he looked back, gray
The man in clothes walked up to Gu Xiao and spoke to the young man.
"I heard that you broke Shui Canglan's Qiu Shui Palm in front of the Hejiabao Gate." The man in gray said calmly, with a fierce look between his eyebrows that looked at the young man, but his eyes kept glancing to the side.
Jiang Ningxue.
Only then did Gu Xiao know that the young master he was fighting with in front of the Hejiabao Gate was named Shui Canglan. He also saw that this man was an extraordinary person. As soon as he got close to him, a sharp sword intent came towards his face, and the man on the side
When Jiang Ningxue saw this person, she seemed to be afraid and took half a step back behind her.
Half a step forward, Gu Xiao stood in front of Jiang Ningxue, blocking the gray-clothed man's gaze. The Qing Yi Jue Qi from his body came out along with the sword intention.
The man in gray clothes was looking at Jiang Ningxue, but he felt a wave of sword intent coming towards his face. He took two steps back. The man in gray clothes stared at the young man with a pair of surprised eyes, and then a hint of trace appeared in the dark brown eyes of the man in gray clothes.
With a hint of fighting intent, he raised his palm lightly and slowly touched the single sword on his waist.
Gu Xiao's eyes moved slightly, staring at the palm of the man in gray clothes, and then the sword finger in the sleeve of the green shirt had come out. But just when Gu Xiao was focused on guarding, the man in gray clothes suddenly touched the hand that was about to touch the long sword.
The palm is withdrawn.
Then he took a deep look at Jiang Ningxue behind Gu Xiao, turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something again. He turned his head slightly and said to Gu Xiao: "It's best that you and I don't meet in the arena tomorrow."
After saying this, the man in gray clothes didn't wait any longer and walked straight into Muxia Garden.
Seeing the man in gray leave, Jin Buyi's tense nerves seemed to relax a little. After saying goodbye to Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue, he went back to his room with the other worshippers.
"It's getting late today, so you should rest early." Jiang Ningxue's tone was still cold, but it was more caring.
After saying that, Jiang Ningxue didn't wait for Gu Xiao to come to her senses, turned around and walked to her room alone.
Jiang Ningxue didn't say anything, but Gu Xiao saw the way the man looked at Jiang Ningxue just now, and keenly realized that the two people must have a story. However, since Jiang Ningxue didn't want to tell it, it was inconvenient for him to ask.
.
Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue came together, and the servants of the He family naturally arranged their rooms next to each other. Gu Xiao saw that Jiang Ningxue was alone in front of him, and seemed unwilling to talk to anyone, so he had to follow silently.
Behind him, he accompanied her to their room.
Not long after, they arrived at the door of the room. Gu Xiao was about to open the door and enter when he heard Jiang Ningxue calling him softly. Gu Xiao asked curiously: "What's wrong, Miss Jiang."
"He must have recognized me." Jiang Ningxue lowered her head and said softly.
Gu Xiao saw her head lowered. In order to hide her identity, her face was covered by the black hair that he had slightly messed up. He couldn't see her expression clearly, but he seemed to hear clues from her tone.
"Who is he?" Although Gu Xiao learned from Jin Buyi that the man in gray was a disciple of Ni Dao Sect, and Jiang Ningxue was a disciple of Lingyun Sword Sect. These two people would have
and implicated, Gu Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Ningxue raised her head and looked into Gu Xiaoxing's eyes. Seeing that the young man had a sincere expression and no other intention, she said, "Among the two swords and three swords in Qi Yun's martial arts world, my Lingyun Sword Sect has always been the top one, but it is like the Shui Sword Sect and my Lingyun Sword."
The Lingyun Sword Sect has been competing for the top of the Sword Sect for many years, but in recent years, the Rushui Sword Sect has become more and more powerful. Although Lingyun Sword Sect still seems to outsiders to be firmly suppressing the other One Sword and Three Swordsmen, in fact it has gradually fallen behind. In order to compete with the Rushui Sword Sect,
The sect was trying to compete, so my master thought of using the method of marriage to win over the Nilian Sect among the Three Sword Sects to jointly control the Rushui Sword Sect."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ningxue did not continue talking, and Gu Xiao suddenly understood why the man in gray had been staring at Jiang Ningxue just now and was full of hostility towards him. It turned out that this was the reason why Jiang Ningxue and the man in gray had
If there is a marriage contract, it is no wonder that the man in gray makes this gesture.
Scratching his head, Gu Xiao originally thought of coming to Hejiapu to investigate the method of entering Murong Valley, but he did not expect to get entangled with the Rushui Sword Sect and the Niidao Sect one after another.
Jiang Ningxue saw that the young man seemed to have lost his mind, so she explained: "Master did have the idea of letting me get married, but after I refused, he gave up the idea, but Yuwen Tuo didn't know where he got the idea.
My master once had this idea and came to ask for marriage with a betrothal gift. The master was afraid that my refusal in person would make the two families look bad, so he found an excuse and asked me to take a few senior brothers to perform a mission outside the customs and take refuge temporarily.
Regarding this matter, I didn’t expect to meet him again here.”
Gu Xiao also said that Jiang Ningxue was already engaged to Yuwen Tuo. It turned out that the man in gray was just wishful thinking. He immediately smiled and said: "The relationship between a man and a woman depends on your will and my will. If you don't want to, you can still force it."
No, don't worry, since we are friends, if he bothers you and you are embarrassed to speak, I will explain it to him for you."
Jiang Ningxue saw the young man's serious look, eager to try with his sleeves rolled up, and then heard the word "friend" in the young man's mouth. Warmth rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with a smile.
Although Jiang Ningxue's black hair was slightly messy and she was not wearing any pink or pink, her smile made people feel like taking a bath in the spring breeze in winter or drinking cold dew in summer, refreshing her heart.
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, as if from the smile of the woman in front of him, he saw the girl with a flowery smile in the Fengxue Temple outside Liuzhuang.
