Chapter 201: Cheating and kidnapping the little girl
Although he was thinking this in his mind, Chen Xuan still pretended to be indifferent.
"Girl, do you know why Qu Yang came to Hengzhou City?"
"My grandfather came to play piano music in the ensemble. He is a close friend with senior Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan School."
"A close friend?"
Chen Xuan smiled lazily and caressed Qu Feiyan's cheek with the back of his fingers.
Qu Feiyan didn't notice for a moment and was touched by him, so he was so frightened that he hid aside.
Chen Xuan looked at her scared look, smiled proudly, and said with great satisfaction.
"Your grandfather is an elder of the Sun Moon Sect, and Liu Zhengfeng is a member of the Hengshan Sect. They belong to the good and evil sects. How can they be said to play piano music together?"
"How is this impossible?"
"When I say it's impossible, it's impossible."
Chen Xuan said lightly.
"Good girl, don't be stubborn with me. I'll make a bet with you. Something will definitely happen at the Hengshan Sect Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony, and your grandfather Qu Yang will also die."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Qu Feiyan's eyes suddenly turned red.
She said she didn't believe it, but she was thoughtful and could actually feel that her grandfather Qu Yang had been restless recently.
Qu Yang rushed to Hengshan City just for the atmosphere of meeting a close friend in the mountains and flowing water.
Perhaps he had already seen that something was going to happen at Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony, so he made a special trip just to say goodbye to his friends.
Qu Feiyan's heart was miserable, and he couldn't care about anything else for the moment and said anxiously.
"Young hero's martial arts skills are incredible, please save my grandpa!"
"Good girl, a bowl of porridge and pickles on the street costs two copper coins. You're such an empty talker, so let me help you. I'm afraid it's not that cheap."
"Then...then what do you want?"
"What do you think I want?"
Chen Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and raised the golden book treasure record in his hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Qu Feiyan still didn't know what he meant, it was clearly unclear, but now she was trapped here, and her grandfather, who depended on her for life, was in deep danger again.
In desperation, she could only tremble.
"If you promise to help me save my grandfather, I...I, Qu Feiyan, will be willing to pledge my life to you."
"Good girl, don't agree so readily. Think about it for yourself. Are you sincere in what you say?"
"Natural and sincere."
"Okay then, you can serve me for a while first."
"ah?!"
Qu Feiyan's eyes widened and he was very surprised.
Chen Xuan laughed out loud when he saw this, and was too embarrassed to let this girl continue to attack.
In fact, after reading this treasure record, he thought about it in his heart. He was really greedy. It happened that he didn't have a wife or concubine around him at the moment, so he came up with the idea of this girl.
But Qu Feiyan doesn't want to now, and he can't coerce her, so he just said.
"You ask me to save Qu Yang. It's impossible for me to save him. I'm only responsible for saving you. As for the little old man, I can show you how he died."
"..."
Chen Xuan spoke loosely, but Qu Feiyan was silent for a moment.
She only thought that Chen Xuan and Qu Yang had made an agreement in advance and could not interfere in the feud between Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng. The most she could do was take her to see Qu Yang for the last time.
Thinking of this, Qu Feiyan felt extremely miserable and couldn't help but cry softly.
She was now helpless and unconsciously hid in Chen Xuan's arms.
Chen Xuan was still reading the imperial letter when Qu Feiyan suddenly slipped into his arms. For a moment, Chen Xuan thought it was the girl's unexpected self-consciousness.
However, after a while, he faintly felt that there were tears on his body, and he guessed that Qu Feiyan was probably very sad.
Although to be fair, it is not difficult for Chen Xuan to save Qu Yang.
But he probably doesn't have such a good heart. It's already troublesome enough to fool Qu Feiyan.
If Qu Yang was rescued, wouldn't all the hard work now be in vain?
Furthermore, Liu Zhengfeng’s holding of the Golden Basin Washing Hands Conference itself offended Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect.
Everyone knows that it is not easy for Liu Zhengfeng to retire from the world.
When Qu Yang came to Hengshan City this time, he actually foresaw the death of his old friend and even himself.
Since he intended to die, what else could Chen Xuan do to save him?
It's just that Qu Feiyan was filled with sorrow and cried so sadly.
At this moment, she was captured by Chen Xuan. Not only was she unfamiliar with the place, her future was uncertain, and she had no idea what kind of situation she would be in, she couldn't help but feel even more bleak.
But not long after she cried, she suddenly felt something wasn't right.
She was now in Chen Xuan's arms, and she could faintly feel his brother's movements.
Just by her talking, little Chen Xuan became energetic.
Qu Feiyan panicked and stood up in a hurry. He raised his head and glared at Chen Xuan in shame and annoyance.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan still held the golden book of treasures and said quietly.
"Human desire is a natural principle. How can you, girl, blame me?"
Qu Feiyan let out an annoyed "poof".
Originally full of sorrow, his thoughts at this moment could not help but turn to the treasure record in his hand.
When she glanced at it just now, she seemed to be focusing on a diagram showing the circulation of meridians in the Chun Palace book in Chen Xuan's hand.
This kind of illustration of the meridians' operation is generally only found in martial arts mental methods.
Looking at Chen Xuan's indifferent expression, Qu Feiyan realized that Chen Xuan was not reading any idle book at all, but studying a martial arts secret book.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wonder.
"What are you looking at?"
"Didn't I say that? Chun Palace, Chun Palace, isn't this painted so clearly?"
"...Show me."
While talking, Qu Feiyan came over to take a look.
Chen Xuan looked at her cleverness, collected the treasure and said lazily.
"Why are you, a yellow-haired girl, looking at this thing? If you really like it, why don't you let me practice with you?"
"What kind of training are you doing? You are such a hateful person. I know this booklet must be some kind of martial arts secret book. You are afraid that I will learn it secretly, so you won't show it to me, right?"
Qu Feiyan looked like a naughty girl, and Chen Xuan just found it funny.
He didn't want to show this treasure record to Qu Feiyan simply because he didn't want to taint her eyes.
This treasure record was originally Tian Boguang's private collection. It was after reading this treasure record that he started to think of doing evil. The book itself was not a good thing.
The illustrations in this booklet are so detailed and lifelike that even Chen Xuan, who just wanted to understand the true meaning of martial arts, couldn't help but think about it.
What's more, Qu Feiyan, a half-grown girl.
She didn't want Chen Xuan to prevent her from reading it, so this girl complained that he kept the secret book privately.
Chen Xuan couldn't help laughing or crying for a moment, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry, so he opened the treasure record.
"Okay, okay, you girl, if you insist on watching, I'll let you watch as much as you want. But if you have thoughts about it, don't blame me for causing trouble to you."
Qu Feiyan said angrily, "Bah~", and cleverly came to Chen Xuan's side, and began to study it carefully.
She only thought that the book looked like gold but not gold, like cloth but not cloth. It was so wonderful that it should be a treasure.
Furthermore, Chen Xuan was extremely skilled in martial arts and had been studying this golden book.
Maybe this is the magic secret book he practiced.
She thought that if she read this secret book and could learn one and a half moves, she might be able to compete with Chen Xuan.
Even if she is extremely talented and understands the true meaning in an instant, she might become a peerless master and be able to save Qu Yang.
With this calculation in her mind, she worked up her spirits and looked at the diagrams in the golden book attentively.
I just don't want this thing to seem to have some special effect.
Chen Xuan looked at it twice and felt a little unable to bear it. Qu Feiyan looked at it carefully. After a while, his face turned red and sweat started to form on his forehead.
Seeing her virtue, Chen Xuan knew that she was afraid of being fooled, so he smiled.
"Good girl, you are not in a good mood to read this secret book."
"I can't see it, so you can?"
"Of course I can see it. I've eaten it and seen it. I've probably practiced these movements above, and I also know the taste. Little girl, do you know the taste of this?"
He meant to make a joke and didn't want to bother Qu Feiyan with questions.
Now she is just a young girl in her mid-twenties, and she and Qu Yang depend on each other on weekdays. How could she know this?
Seeing Chen Xuan's gibbering, she snorted angrily and came closer to him again as if she was unconvinced, as if she had to study the reason.
When Chen Xuan saw this, he didn't give much advice and just chuckled in her ear.
"Good girl, you'd better endure it. If you make a fool of yourself, I'll have to deal with you."
Qu Feiyan said "poof" angrily, saying she was annoyed but she didn't dare to look at him.
This golden book is really abominable. Not only does it have detailed diagrams, but it even has narration and notes. There are even sets of onomatopoeias like ah, um, um, hum.
If it weren't for the diagram showing the meridians running at the back, Chen Xuan would have regarded this thing as an imperial document.
However, this would be a bitter experience for Qu Feiyan.
This girl has never seen this novelty before, but now she knows she can't see it but she still insists on seeing it.
In less than half a cup of tea, she was already sweating slightly, and her breathing was a little louder.
Not only are the illustrations in this booklet lifelike, but the entire book also has some strange effects, which can be described as a great torment for those who lack concentration.
Qu Feiyan has never tasted the bone-deep taste, and he doesn't have Chen Xuan's unwavering determination.
After just looking at it for a while, he couldn't hold it any longer and hurriedly grabbed Chen Xuan's arm, pinching his fingernails directly on Chen Xuan's arm.
Chen Xuan looked at her virtue and was afraid that he would really have to fight with him before he gave up, so he put the treasure away and chuckled.
"Good girl, can't you tell that you are quite greedy and you really need to clean up?"
"..." Qu Feiyan calmed down with lingering fear, and was speechless for a moment.
Chen Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking that she was embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qu Feiyan said something shocking.
"This secret book... is a fragment."
"What?!"
"The illustrations of the meridians running in this secret book have a beginning but no end, and are intermittent. It is obvious that a large part is missing. It is not a complete martial arts secret book at all."
Qu Feiyan composed himself, but Chen Xuan's expression suddenly changed as soon as these words came out.
He himself has never studied the orthodox martial arts secret books, so now he is not as sharp as the little girl Qu Feiyan.
But thanks to Qu Feiyan's careful reading, after a little deduction, he could tell at a glance that this "Jianhua Baolu" was a fragment.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Chen Xuan will have to study it for a year and a half before he can understand its true meaning.
"The remaining copy?"
Chen Xuan frowned secretly and thought.
"Does Tian Boguang still have a similar treasure record in his hand?"
Just when he was thinking deeply and planning to make Tian Boguang spit out the remaining secrets.
Qu Feiyan on the side asked softly.
"Where did you get this fragment of secret book?"
"You care where I got it from? I've been asking questions all day long, why should I tell you? You're not my wife."
Chen Xuan suddenly replied like this, and Qu Feiyan was really shocked for a moment.
Qu Feiyan was angry and annoyed by what he said. He looked at Chen Xuan blankly with his bright eyes, and was about to tell him loudly that she was his wife.
But when I looked up, I happened to meet Chen Xuan's eyes.
Her heart shuddered and she thought to herself, "How could I say such a thing when I almost fell into the trap of this evil man?"
Although she was thinking this in her heart, she didn't expect Chen Xuan to unexpectedly pull her into his arms and suck her fiercely.
Qu Feiyan fell into his trap without realizing it for a moment. She felt that his breath was hot, and her whole body was like a piece of red-hot charcoal, which was so hot that she almost melted.
She was a little uneasy after reading the fragmentary book of Baolu, but it just happened that Chen Xuan spoke.
She only felt that Chen Xuan's origin was unknown and unpredictable. It seemed that he was really a hidden master arranged by Qu Yang, who came specially to rescue her.
Maybe he really had an agreement with Qu Yang to give himself to him as his little wife.
In a daze, Qu Feiyan just hummed softly, as if he had already obeyed.
Chen Xuan had been angry for a long time. When he heard this voice, he rolled up his bed and dragged the girl in to prepare a meal.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were getting into action in full swing.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan felt someone stepping lightly on his back, and with a blink of an eye, he saw a little nun in gray robe flying out of the window.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly.
"No, little nun Yilin is awake!"
Although she didn't know when Yilin woke up, it was obvious that she had been watching for a long time and was now planning to escape while he had no time to get up.
But she obviously still underestimated Chen Xuan's martial arts skills, especially his ability to control a crane, capture a dragon, and retrieve objects from a distance.
As soon as Yilin flew out of the window, she was about to escape, but she didn't expect that at this moment, a strong suction force suddenly hit her behind her!
This familiar feeling shocked Yilin, and she fell into despair.
Sure enough, her feet slipped, and she almost flew up upside down, turning around and flying back into the gauze tent.
It was only then that she exclaimed "Ah".
Chen Xuan ignored her and still hugged Qu Feiyan without letting go.
However, Qu Feiyan was awakened. After all, she was a girl at heart. After waking up, she felt ashamed and annoyed. She clenched her pink fists and kept saying hello.
Looking at her posture, Chen Xuan guessed that it would not be possible to do this today, so he could only snort coldly and look at Yi Lin.
"Good girl, you picked a good time. Now you have ruined the good things between me and this girl. How do you think this matter should be settled?"
