Chapter 10 Flowers
Just when Chu Hantian controlled the whole audience and everyone was waiting for his next move, the girl suddenly burst out on the spot. She leaned forward, like a dragon, and one arm was aimed at the gap between Chu Hantian and Cheng Sunan, and went up against Lin Xiaoyan's hand. She was so fast that by the time the others reacted, it was already time for someone to block her movements before her.
Someone moved faster than Miss Food, and just when she was about to bully herself in front of Cheng Sunan's eyes, she flashed out and raised her right arm, which was able to block Miss Food's hand to grab flowers.
The girl looked quite displeased, and even Chu Hantian could sense a rare anxiety on her face.
The man wore a green shirt, and was about to withdraw his hand to speak, but the girl turned around, and wiped her hand on her waistβ
This time, it was Chu Hantian who was the first to strike.
He had just stepped forward as the girl had withdrawn, and grabbed the hand that was on her waist. If you look closely, you can see that the girl has already pulled two chopsticks, but when Chu Hantian pressed them like this, the two chopsticks were inserted back.
At the same time, he whispered to the girl: "Don't move the chopsticks, they will all know who you are when you move the chopsticks." β
This sentence really had a miraculous effect, and the girl who was unusually irritable and ready to fight before, instantly settled down.
At this time, the green-shirted man took a closer look at Miss Yu and Chu Hantian behind his hands, he looked half a generation older than these two, and his eyes were calm and bottomless. As soon as the girl met his gaze, he immediately turned his face away and looked away.
Qingshan said: "Nowadays, there are many martial arts heroes in the villa, and some frictions and contradictions are inevitable. It's just that now that we are the enemy, I hope you will be more patient. Knowing the priorities is the way to the great cause. β
He speaks quite old, half a generation older than his looks. Chu Hantian was a little disapproving, but Cheng Sunan next to him respectfully saluted the green-shirted man and said, "What the second village owner said is true." β
It turned out that the person who spoke was Ouyang Qingchen, the second owner of Ouyang Villa.
Since Ouyang Jian, the head of the Ouyang family, died in the Charm Hall, it was difficult for Ouyang Xichen, the son of the Ouyang family, to support the overall situation alone, so Ouyang Qingchen, who was sent to Jiangnan to be mainly responsible for this side of affairs, became the best pillar to support his brother. Including this hero meeting, Ouyang Qingchen is also responsible for presiding. Although he is not very old, with his accumulation over the years, his reputation in the rivers and lakes is also extremely high.
With Ouyang Qingchen speaking, Cheng Sunan immediately snatched the white peony from Lin Xiaoyan's hand, handed it to Chu Hantian and said, "Brother Chu, our Zhongyangmen disciples are not such calculating people, just a flower, so we will give it here." β
Chu Hantian thought to himself, just give a ghost here, obviously you robbed us.
He didn't realize that he was still skeptical of Lin Xiaoyan's words, but he firmly believed in what Miss Fat said.
Chu Hantian took the white peony and handed it to the girl. The girl took the flower, didn't salute Ouyang Qingchen, didn't pay attention to the spectators and Chu Hantian, turned around and left.
Suddenly, there was a sound of dissatisfaction around him, mainly aimed at Miss Food's disrespect for Ouyang Qingchen, who was a senior.
However, Ouyang Qingchen didn't seem to care very much, he just looked at Chu Hantian again, and those keen eyes stared at Chu Hantian for a while. He smiled dryly at Ouyang Qingchen and was about to stride after the girl.
"It's extraordinary to have such skills at such a young age." Ouyang Qingchen suddenly spoke, he looked at Chu Hantian, "But you have to take the right path to be worthy of your ability." β
Chu Hantian suddenly felt very irritable when he heard this, he turned his head and smiled at Ouyang Qingchen, and said, "Thank you for mentioning it." β
Then, he ran non-stop.

The farce ended, and the orchestra on the water pavilion was extremely professional, and it continued to play, undisturbed by this episode. The spectators who had been watching the excitement also dispersed and returned to the pool to listen to the music. There are also those who lose interest and walk in the opposite direction in the direction where the guest room is located.
Ouyang Qingchen nodded at Cheng Sunan and left. From beginning to end, his face was serious and low, as if something was on his chest.
Suddenly, only Cheng Sunan and Lin Xiaoyan were still in place, Cheng Sunan looked at Lin Xiaoyan unhappily and said, "You are jealous, and you don't know how to pick a time and place." β
Lin Xiaoyan didn't have the slightest look of guilt, instead, she frowned and said seriously: "Senior brother, if it's really a white peony, then I'll fight with her for a sentence or two." β
"So what? Isn't that just an ordinary white peony? β
Lin Xiaoyan suddenly became mysterious, she looked around to see if anyone noticed this, and then she leaned into Cheng Sunan's ear and whispered: "Senior brother, have you heard a rumor......

"It's not the flowering period of white peonies, don't you think it's strange why white peonies appear here?" As she spoke, the girl had already put the white peony on the table in the room, and she sat down beside her. The room was empty, and I didn't know who she was talking to.
Almost immediately following her end, there was the sound of the door creaking open. Chu Hantian walked in with a melancholy face, holding his sword with his hands around his chest, "I don't think it's strange. β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
"Because I don't know when the white peony blooms."
ββ¦β¦ Now you know. β
Chu Hantian's attention was still not on the white peony, he found a bench and sat down, still a little melancholy: "I feel that maybe the second owner already knows your identity." β
"Why?"
Chu Hantian repeated Ouyang Qingchen's words about him, and analyzed: "Even if he sees that your martial arts are very high, but I just stopped you, it makes no sense that he would say something like 'having such attainments' based on this alone." The only possibility is that he saw that you were the master of the floating garden, and judging from this, I was also an extraordinary martial artist with you. After all, people who leave the floating garden are never idle people. β
The girl looked awe-struck and looked at the white peony on the table, "I won't leave here." β
"Of course, so do I." Chu Hantian's face suddenly changed, his original melancholy expression was swept away, and he was replaced with a positive attitude that looked fake.
"Well, then, I'm going to tell you why I have to have this flower." The girl said, "White peony has an alias called white mushroom, understand?" β
Chu Hantian's eyes widened, "This flower is a flower demon?" β
The girl nodded. She reached out and plucked the petals one by one, flipped them over and placed them on the table. The white peony flower color is white, but some of the petals that have been turned over have black veins behind it. The girl staggered the petals with black veins like a puzzle and motioned for Chu Hantian to come and see.
I saw that those meaningless black veins were put together in such an orderly manner, and they were connected into a sentence.
- Leave the village quickly.
A headless, brainless, gratuitous word. For a man who just said he wouldn't leave, this reminder was like a slap in the face.
Chu Hantian looked at the girl, "She told you to leave the village quickly." β
ββ¦β¦ I know words. β
"Then you can't leave?"
The girl was silent for a long time, and suddenly said again: "Here, there is a corner missing." β
Her fingers tapped between the petals, Chu Hantian stretched out his head, and saw that the bottom horizontal of the word "Zhuang" seemed to be a little shorter.
"It's hard enough to get black veins on the petals, maybe something went wrong with her craftsmanship when she was making this flower? If you don't point it out, I won't even find out, so it's nothing, right? Chu Hantian hesitated.
The girl was silent for a while, as if she felt that Chu Hantian was right, so she snorted and stopped talking, but just pressed the petals with her hands, and rubbed them hard, and finally kneaded the pile of petals into flower mud. As if that weren't enough, he broke open from the back window of the room little by little and threw it out in pieces.

Little is known about the Cloud Garden, mainly because this sect is located on the isolated Kunlun Mountain. Back then, this was the territory of the Demon Sect, but after the Demon Sect was dispersed, a Cloud Court appeared unconsciously.
As for the true face of this sect, no one has ever seen it. It's just rumored that when you go to Kunlun, you can faintly hear the woman's wild song and laughter in the mountains, and see the woman's wanton dancing figure. It is said that the court of the clouds is full of women, and they are all women who are despised by the world, combined with the legend, the image of the dissolute remains is indeed not very popular, so the women of the court in the clouds are collectively referred to as the crazy women in the clouds.
If they have always lived in peace like this, maybe the Cloud Pavilion is just a slightly mysterious hidden sect. But occasionally, there are also mad women in the clouds who will go down the mountain and enter the rivers and lakes, they generally act alone, acting both right and evil, and are not bound by the moral norms of the rivers and lakes at all. There is only one thing, and that is that everyone is ruthless.
Because of this evil style, the resentment of Yunjian Court in the rivers and lakes is far more than good karma, and gradually, the crazy women in the clouds have become synonymous with evil ways, and the number of people who want to find them has increased day by day.
After coming and going, the mystery of the Cloud Court was also revealed more or less. Among them, the most well-known are the four maids who are close to the lord of the Cloud Court - demons and monsters.
ββ¦β¦ One of the 'demons' is called the Flower Devil. It is said that she is a woman who is extremely good at growing flowers, and she can even cultivate all kinds of flowers regardless of the solar terms. Otherwise, how could there be white peonies that only bloom in winter now? β
Cheng Sunan looked at Lin Xiaoyan's serious face and was stunned.
Lin Xiaoyan handed over another white petal and continued: "And the flower demon has a sign, that is, a white peony, but it is not an ordinary white peony. Behind the petals of this white peony, there are strange black veins. β
She pinched the petals and turned them over, and sure enough, there was a trace of black on the white petals. It doesn't look like it's been stained with paint.
Lin Xiaoyan asked in a low voice: "You say, how could Chu Shaoxia be with the crazy girl in the clouds, was he deceived by those women?" β
