Ye Feng didn't say anything, and neither did the young lady. The two of them just sat there minding their own business, as if they were old monks in meditation.
About a quarter of an hour later, a slight cough came from behind the screen.
The intermittent coughing broke the silence in the room and shocked Ye Feng's spirit.
"Finally you can't bear it any longer, are you going to tell the truth?" Ye Feng thought to himself.
He sat upright and stared at the screen intently, looking like he was listening and being taught.
Behind the screen, the woman sighed quietly and said: "Master Ye, I admire you. Your patience, calmness, and composure are far beyond ordinary people. Even if you don't tell me your identity, I can guess
Come on, your background will never be small."
"A person like you is like a piece of gold, a dazzling gem. Even in the darkness, it will emit light." The woman narrated calmly.
Although her words were extremely complimentary, they did not make her feel harsh. Even though Ye Feng had heard too many compliments recently, his affection for the woman in his heart still increased a few points.
"Miss, tell me the origin of the mirror door." Ye Feng said calmly.
Behind the screen, the woman nodded and slowly told about the origin of the mirror door.
The Mirror Sect is actually a sword cultivation sect. However, compared with the orthodox sects such as the Four Great Sword Sects, the Mirror Sect, a sect that practices mirror illusion and the secrets of sword skills, cannot reach the level of elegance.
Because they know that their sect is not popular with others, the Mirror Sect has rarely shown its face in public since its establishment.
However, in the northwest far away from the prosperous capital of the Yin Shang Kingdom, the Mirror Image Sect has a great reputation. Almost all sword cultivators know the existence of the Mirror Image Sect, and they will give the Mirror Image Sect some face in everything.
The woman and the disciples of the Mirror Sect became enemies three months ago. At that time, the woman was still living in the imperial capital. Once when she went out on the street, she was accidentally caught by a disciple of the Mirror Sect.
Just like many vulgar plots in which bullies rape civilian girls, the disciples of the Mirror Sect had evil thoughts towards women.
It's just that the Mirror Sect disciple never imagined that this woman was a rose with thorns, and anyone who messed with her would get scars all over her body.
The Mirror Sect disciple was chased by the woman for dozens of miles, and was finally exhausted to death.
His death alarmed the top management of the Mirror Sect, and it was only then that the woman learned that the disciple of the Mirror Sect who was chased to death by her was actually the descendant of Mr. Mirror, the leader of the Mirror Sect.
When his beloved disciple was killed, Mr. Mirror Image immediately burst into thunderous rage. After he issued a series of pursuit orders, all the disciples of the Mirror Image Sect took action upon hearing the news.
A month ago, the woman's father was kidnapped by Mirror Image Sect disciples on his way home from a morning meeting.
The other party had no other requirements, but told the woman that if she wanted to rescue her father, she must rush to Putian County in person, where the Mirror Gate is located.
The woman went to Putian County on this trip to attend an appointment. However, she did not expect that even if she planned to attend the appointment in person, there would still be greedy Mirror Sect disciples offering high rewards and launching attacks on her again and again.
During the day, the sword cultivators who assassinated the woman were obviously assassins hired by the disciples of the Mirror Sect.
And tonight, the illusion that came to the inn was obviously the mastermind of the assassination.
After talking about the grudge between herself and the mirror door, the woman said quietly: "Mr. Ye, in fact, I came to you to invite you to be my bodyguard. Although this approach is a bit unfair to you, I am willing to do it for you.
You offer a generous reward."
"If you can protect me and reach Putian County safely, I am willing to give you thousands of acres of fertile land, or a high-end weapon. If you can help me rescue my father, I am willing to give you a set of volley flying weapons.
Xing-level high-level skills, and a wind-level low-level weapon." The woman said proudly.
The price offered by the woman made Ye Feng's heart flutter.
He didn't expect that the woman would have such courage to give such a precious gift.
The low-level sword skills of wind level and the high-level skills of flying through the air. If any of these two are exposed to the outside world, countless sword cultivators will go crazy.
Although until now, Ye Feng still doesn't know the woman's true origin, but thinking about the woman's generosity, Ye Feng has already guessed that the woman's identity must not be simple, at least she is the beloved disciple of a certain sect leader or even a powerful figure.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Ye Feng shook his head slightly.
There is no free lunch in the world. If a woman is willing to spend such a large amount of money, it means that what she has to do is definitely more than the reward she pays.
Between property and life, Ye Feng will definitely choose the latter resolutely. And he knows very well that if he loses his life, no matter how precious the wealth is, it will no longer have any value.
"I refuse!" Ye Feng said decisively.
After saying this, he stood up, turned around and walked out the door again.
After leaving this time, Ye Feng no longer had any guesses about the woman's psychology.
He knew very well that the other party had carefully crafted a trap for him, and what was waiting for him now was for him to jump into it.
Ye Feng left the room where the woman was with his head held high.
Looking at his arrogant back, Lian Qiao's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Lian Qiao is sixteen years old and has never really liked someone. Just one day ago, she met a man who made her heart beat. She thought she would be with this man for the rest of her life. But now, she
I know, she and Ye Feng are not from the same world at all.
In this world, there is a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority. Not to mention that Ye Feng may be a powerful figure in some force. Even if he is just a swordsman without any sect, Lian Qiao cannot be a good match for a super genius like him.
Behind the screen in the room, a woman slowly walked out.
As soon as she appeared in the hall, the dark room seemed to become brighter.
If the beauty of a lotus flower is the delicate lilac, then the beauty of a woman is the generous and decent peony and the noble rose.
Her facial features are too beautiful to be described in any words. Her bright eyes are more dazzling than the cold stars. Her delicate nose and thin lips are more like the most meticulous masterpieces of the Creator. Anyone who takes a look at them will be deeply impressed.
Keep it in mind for a lifetime.
"He's gone?" The woman's heavenly voice sounded again.
The woman's question brought Lian Qiao, who was staring at Ye Feng's back, back to her senses.
Looking back at the eldest lady, Lian Qiao whispered: "Miss, with his status, why should he talk to you like this? Are we just going to let him go like this?"
Lian Qiao's duplicity made the woman smile slightly.
She didn't say anything for a long time, but silently stared at the direction where Ye Feng disappeared, with a gleam of wisdom flashing in her eyes.
"He is smarter than we thought, and his background is probably more profound. Seeing him now, I am even more eager to know what kind of teacher it is that can teach such an outstanding disciple." The woman whispered.
said.
After saying this, she waved gently. A strong suction force was released from her palm, acting on Lian Qiao's palm, and immediately sucked all the metal pieces in Lian Qiao's hand into the void.
In mid-air, the rapidly rotating metal pieces made a whizzing sound. Without human control, these metal pieces fused together independently, and finally assembled into a metal petal that looked beautiful but was actually extremely sharp.
The Hidden Flower Sword Sect is a sect in the Yin and Shang Dynasties that has the same prestige as the four major sword sects, but operates in a more low-key manner.
Someone familiar with the matter has long said that if there is a showdown between the Hidden Flower Sword Sect and the four major sword sects, one of the four major sword sects is destined to be eliminated from the sequence of the four major sects.
Ye Feng did not know that the woman was a descendant of the Hidden Flower Sword Sect, but even if he did not know, it did not affect his judgment on anything.
On the way back to the room, the pendant on Ye Feng's chest suddenly emitted a faint heat.
Feeling the temperature on the pendant, Ye Feng's face lit up and he ran out of the inn.
At the foot of the barren mountain far away from the inn, Ye Feng grabbed the pendant in his hand and asked anxiously: "Senior Xiao Bai, have you regained consciousness?"
As if in response to Ye Feng's words, the surface of the pendant released a red light.
In the light, Xiao Bai's figure gradually transformed into the void.
He looked at Ye Feng with a smile, whose strength had improved to a level that surprised him, and said with a smile: "Little guy, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"
Xiao Bai's slightly playful words made Ye Feng laugh happily.
"Fortunately, it's just that my cultivation has progressed too fast, and I think it will make many people jealous to death."
In the void, the sound of Xiao Bai and Ye Feng laughing was heard. After laughing, the two people sat cross-legged opposite each other, and their eyes met again.
"Actually, you should have agreed to that girl's proposal just now." Xiao Bai said in a low voice.
Ye Feng stared at Xiao Bai, and after just a moment's thought, he understood Xiao Bai's intention.
For the disciples of the Sword Hall, any opportunity to obtain a rank weapon is extremely precious. Xiao Bai's meaning is very clear, Ye Feng should not waste such an excellent opportunity to make money.
Moreover, with Xiao Bai here, even if the woman has a conspiracy, it is not a big deal. Looking at the Yin Shang Kingdom, there seems to be no one who is qualified to fight Xiao Bai.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Feng finally thought of the words.
He said euphemistically: "Senior, actually I don't want to use your hands to gain benefits for myself. Why don't we agree that if I don't face a life and death dilemma in the future, you will no longer help me, and let me face all emergencies by myself."
An incident occurred.”
Ye Feng's statement made Xiao Bai nodded in approval.
In fact, strong men like Xiao Bai are the most sensible people. In his opinion, Ye Feng, who is born with pride, is a talent that can be made. If Ye Feng is just a guy who only knows how to bully others, he
On the contrary, he will look down on Ye Feng.
"Okay. Since you have made such a request, how can I refuse. Little guy, from now on, I will never interfere in anything until your life is in danger. But you must make an agreement in advance. Even so, in the future you will
You want to enter Luohua Palace for me." Xiao Bai said.
Ye Feng smiled and nodded, feeling relaxed.
All along, what he was most worried about was Xiao Bai's awakening. Seeing that Xiao Bai woke up several days later than expected, he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Bai's safety.
It's fine now. Xiao Bai's promise not to take action from now on means that from now on, his soul will not be damaged again, nor will he disappear for several months.
