Chapter 40: Ziyunxuan
Su Xueyi felt the condensed killing intent, and her heart was cold, and the long sword couldn't help but squirm out of its sheath.
"Give the three of you two breaths and get out of Ziyunxuan. The man in Tsing Yi's cold eyes flashed with murderous intent, "If not, they all die here!"
"Ziyunxuan......" Su Ye's eyes were bright, and he suddenly ignored the strong killing intent emanating from his body, and asked in surprise, "Senior said just now...... This is Ziyun Xuan?"
"So what?" the man in Tsing Yi snorted angrily when he saw the look of surprise on Su Ye's face, and felt a little strange in his heart.
Su Ye didn't expect that he and his sister fled in a panic, and they actually coincidentally stepped into the Ziyun Xuan that the man in white told him to go to before leaving.
He was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but respectfully hug his fist at the man in Tsing Yi, and then took out the 'Cang Mang Nine Swords' sword book given by the man in white at the beginning, and said in a deep voice: "The junior was entrusted by a senior to enter Ziyun Xuan to find a senior named Ye Mengru, and I hope you will convey it on my behalf." ”
"Leaf ...... Aunt Ye?" the man in Tsing Yi shook his body, stared at Su Ye, and asked urgently, "...... Say, you are looking for Ye ...... Aunt Ye?"
"It's Ye Mengru's senior. Su Ye didn't know why his expression was so shocked, and carefully handed over the sword book in his hand.
"It's ......"
The man in Tsing Yi took the sword book in Su Ye's hand, and when he saw the four words 'Reckless Nine Swords' with the iron halberd and silver hook, his face changed instantly.
"This is the swordsmanship taught by my predecessors, and it should prove my identity. Su Ye said with a smile, "The seniors said that this is the sect's introductory sword technique, and only the disciples of the sect can practice it. ”
The killing intent of the man in Tsing Yi dissipated, and he looked at Su Ye silently for a while, his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared in place.
Su Xue stood still, listening to the noisy search of the Praetorian Guards outside the courtyard wall, and her heart was inexplicably a little nervous.
The three of them came out of the Xiao Mansion, two hours have passed, it is estimated that at this time, the news of the killing of the Xiao Mansion and the death of Wang Xi has spread all over the city, maybe the portrait of her and Su Ye has been sent to the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Wuwei, if they can't get the protection of Ziyunxuan at this moment, what awaits the two of them will be a bloody killing road.
The girl trembled and lay on Su Xueyi's shoulder, constantly muttering dreams, and there was no sign of waking up at all.
If they were driven out of the courtyard by Ziyunxuan's people at this time, facing the Praetorian Guards all over the street, with the strength of her and Su Ye, I am afraid that it would be impossible to escape.
In her nervous waiting, it was not until half an hour later that a beautiful woman walked towards the three of them with light steps.
The woman looked about thirty years old, plain and white, with picturesque eyebrows, fairy and jade, without powder, but in the eyes, it was like the morning glow reflecting the snow, graceful, she moved lightly, and there seemed to be a layer of white streamer lingering around her body, affecting the qi, faintly revealing a surging power.
"You...... Is it Senior Brother Chu's disciple?" The woman in white held the sword book in her hand and asked with her eyebrows, "Where did you meet Senior Brother Chu, and how did he entrust you when he handed over this sword book to you?"
Her face showed eagerness and excitement, staring at Su Ye, and even her voice trembled a little.
Senior Brother Chu had lost contact with the sect for a hundred years, and there had never been any news, and Su Ye suddenly came to the door, which surprised her, and made it a little difficult to control her emotions.
"You...... Are you Senior Ye?" Su Ye looked at the woman and the several young men and women who followed behind her in surprise.
"I am!" the woman in white said in a deep voice, "I am the Ye Mengru you are looking for." ”
Su Ye didn't expect the man in white to tell him that the person he was looking for was so young and beautiful, and after being slightly stunned, he couldn't help but reply respectfully, "I met my predecessor in the Exquisite City, and when he gave me the sword book, because he was in a hurry, he didn't say much, but just told me to practice well, if you don't understand something, you can come here to find Senior Ye and let you guide me in swordsmanship." ”
When the woman in white saw him talking, her eyes flickered slightly, I am afraid that she did not say everything, her heart couldn't help but froze, and she secretly thought to herself: "This sword spectrum is the true swordsmanship of the sect, and several of the corrected notes are indeed the handwriting of Senior Brother Chu, this kid is carrying this thing, it should be a disciple of Senior Brother Chu, but after Senior Brother Chu was disheartened, he has not accepted an apprentice for hundreds of years, this time, how can he accept this disciple in the world......
She thought about a lot of unreasonable things, her eyes were cold, and she asked in a deep voice: "What about your master, why didn't he take you back to the sect directly, but asked you to come here thousands of miles to find me?"
Su Ye shook his head and replied, "The senior was injured that day, and it seemed that he was chasing something, so he was in a hurry, so he didn't take me with him. ”
"Hurt!" Ye Mengru was shocked, "In the world, who can hurt Senior Brother?"
"I don't know. Su Ye recalled carefully, "When I saw my senior that day, he was coming back from somewhere, and before I could ask, he left from the teleportation array. ”
Su Ye knew that she still had doubts about her identity, and she pondered in her heart for a moment, just as she didn't know if she wanted to tell the story of the man in white who she met in the Exquisite City, as well as the matter of pointing out swordsmanship and teaching sword scores, suddenly, a heavy footstep instantly reached everyone from far and near.
He followed the sound and looked, a girl in a green shirt walked quickly, a few steps later, and instantly arrived in front of the woman in white.
The girl lowered her eyebrows and whispered to Ye Mengru: "Master, there are a lot of soldiers of the Praetorian Guard outside, and they have been shouting what to catch the murderer of Xiao Mansion Manmen and Wang Gongzi, no matter how much they persuade them, they refuse to leave, and they are about to rush in, what should we do?"
"The murderer of Xiao Mansion Manmen and Wang Gongzi?" Ye Mengru asked suspiciously, "What Wang Gongzi?"
The girl in the green shirt replied with a light sigh: "Wang Gongzi is the notorious 'Anle Gongzi' in Lingdu City, they say that this person died in the Xiao Mansion in the north of the city with five Jin Wuwei soldiers two hours ago, and the Xiao Mansion is full of people, both old and young, all of them have been killed. ”
"Murderous?" Ye Mengru frowned, "It's really heartbreaking!"
The girl looked at Su Ye and the three people who broke into Ziyun Xuan, and continued: "They said that this thief seems to have escaped into our Ziyun Xuan. ”
"Ridiculous, have they ever seen the murderer flee into my Ziyun Xuan?" Ye Mengru asked with a cold face.
The girl in the green shirt thought for a while, shook her head, and replied: "That's not true, they only said that the two murderers disappeared after fleeing here, they searched the surroundings and found no trace, so they suspected that this person had fled into Ziyunxuan." ”
"I haven't seen the murderer with my own eyes, and I dare to assert that they are where I am Ziyunxuan!" Ye Mengru shouted angrily.
The girl in the green shirt was shocked, she didn't expect her to be so angry, and hurriedly said, "Since the master doesn't like it, the disciple will immediately disperse them, so that they don't dare to approach Ziyunxuan again." ”
After she finished speaking, she was about to retire, but was suddenly stopped by the master.
"What about the Moon Princess, is the Moon Princess still in Ziyun Xuan?" Ye Mengru suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"Here, Princess Yue is still in the piano room to ask Senior Sister Qin for piano skills. The girl in the green shirt thought for a moment, and already understood Master's intentions, and said softly, "Master is saying that let Princess Yue deal with the matter of the Praetorian Guard's search?"
Ye Mengru nodded, appreciating the disciple's intelligence, and said with a smile: "The current situation is still unclear, we should not expose our strength yet, now we can avoid conflicts with worldly forces, try to avoid it, you tell Senior Sister Qin about the situation outside the house, she knows how to deal with it." ”
"Yes!" the girl in the green shirt replied in a deep voice, and walked away quickly, disappearing from everyone's sight in a moment.
Seeing the disciple leaving, Ye Mengru turned his gaze back again, and asked with a hidden murderous intent: "The Xiao Mansion is full of old and young, and it was you two who killed it?"
Although in the world, human life is like a mustard, but if it is really done by Su Ye and the others, such a cold-blooded and cruel person.
Even if it was a personal disciple accepted by Senior Brother Chu, she would never tolerate it.
"No......" Su Ye felt a cold killing intent enveloping her, and replied in a deep voice, "When my sister and I arrived at the Xiao Mansion, the Xiao Mansion had already been killed by Wang Xi and the five Jin Wuwei......
He pointed to the unconscious girl on Su Xueyi's back and told him everything that happened in the Xiao Mansion.
After listening to Su Ye's narration, a wave of anger instantly rose in Ye Mengru's heart, and he scolded angrily: "This group of bastards is simply not as good as beasts!"
"So...... Wang Gongzi and those Jin Wuwei were indeed killed by you?" Ye Mengru's eyes dissipated with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice, "You two broke into Ziyunxuan because they were hunted down by the Praetorian Guards?"
"Well, that's true!" Su Ye nodded and replied, seeing that Ye Mengru's face was still half-convinced, and hurriedly said, "If Senior Ye doesn't believe it, when Miss Xiao wakes up, she can naturally ......."
"No need. She interrupted Su Ye's words and said softly, "I have always believed what you said, Senior Brother Chu's vision will not be wrong, and the disciple he fancies will not do such an inhumane thing." ”
"That senior ...... just now" Su Ye remembered the cold killing intent just now, and was puzzled.
"Just test you. Ye Mengru looked at Su Ye's shocked expression and chuckled, "Your master is one of the best masters in my sect, I want to try how much quality and concentration he can have as a disciple in the world!"
Su Ye's heart was full of surprise, and she was shocked by the heart of this titular aunt.
"Since you have found this place, the three of you will live in Ziyun Xuan first, and I will ask you again when I have time. She glanced at Su Xueyi and the sleeping girl on her back, then turned back to a girl beside her and said, "Ning'er, you first take the two girls beside your junior brother to live in the East Courtyard, and I will arrange the rest later." ”
The girl answered softly, and took Su Xueyi into the distance.
"As for you......" Ye Mengru looked at Su Ye with a smile, "You will live in the North Courtyard with your senior brothers!"
She beckoned backwards, and the man in Tsing Yi, who had previously discovered Su Ye's intrusion, responded respectfully, and quickly led Su Ye across the courtyard and towards the north courtyard.
After arriving at the North Courtyard, Su Ye picked a clean room under his guidance.
After the man in Tsing Yi settled Su Ye, he left the east courtyard after a while, and he didn't know where he went.
The noisy argument outside Ziyun Xuan quickly dissipated after only a stick of incense, and night gradually fell, and the wide north courtyard was extremely quiet in the dim sky.
Su Ye sat silently in front of the door, looking at the dark-shrouded courtyard, quietly waiting for Ye Mengru to appear again.
One hour, two hours......
In the dead of night, no one showed up except for a guy who delivered snacks.
He was secretly surprised in his heart, and said in his heart: "What's going on? It seems that I am the only one in the entire North Courtyard, didn't Senior Ye say that there are some fellow senior brothers who also live in this courtyard, why haven't I seen anyone?"
