Chapter 11: The Duel
Hearing Cao Xing'an's words, although Ling Xue had already fried the pot in her heart, she did not show dissatisfaction on the surface, but looked at Ke Yimeng with the brilliance of hope, and the girl's delicate face was like a hibiscus out of the water.
There is a saying in the previous life that is really good, when quarreling, if the girlfriend is better-looking, it can invisibly extinguish a lot of fire, at this time, looking at Ke Yimeng's beautiful face, Ling Xue felt that her mentality was not so explosive.
Feeling Ling Xue's pitiful gaze, but what Steward Cao said was not unreasonable, Ke Yimeng pondered for a moment, his eyes wandered with a thoughtful look, and he didn't stay long, then he said softly: "Steward Cao, let the two of them stay, I will bear whatever I have when the time comes." ”
"Hehe, the second lady is too big to say this, even the eldest lady can't afford such a big delay in the caravan. Cao Xing'an laughed strangely, Ke Yimeng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, obviously he was already a little unhappy, and the maid Xiaolu beside him couldn't bear this breath, and said angrily: "Cao Xing'an, when will it be your turn to question my young lady's decision, don't forget, you are just a housekeeper of the Ke family, a servant of the Ke family, you don't have this qualification!"
"Oh, the old slave is indeed a servant, but what are you, the old slave has been walking on thin ice as a housekeeper so far, conscientious, and does not dare to cross the thunder pool at all, but your green lotus is just a maid, what qualifications do you have to point fingers with me?" Cao Xing'an's face was calm, and he smiled slightly The old god was there, but if the angry green lotus was not stopped by Ke Yimeng, I was afraid that he would soon jump out of the window and start a tearing battle with this Cao steward.
Ke Yimeng's red lips opened lightly, and he was about to speak, but Ling Xue, who had been silent, preemptively said: "Steward Cao refuses to let us follow the caravan because he is worried about delaying the trip, why don't I be able to defeat your guards, will it prove that I won't hold you back?"
As soon as Ling Xue said this, the wind and sand of the black desert seemed to be quiet for a little at this time, Cao Xing'an laughed, looking at Ling Xue, the girl's calm but firm expression looked so ridiculous, "A country man like you is really short-sighted, the Ke family's caravan can deter the heroes of the ten directions of the black desert not only by financial resources, but more importantly, by strength! Every Ke family guard at the same level is rare to meet an opponent, let alone deal with you a woman with only one layer of condensation! If you can win, let alone cross the desert with the caravan, why not let the old slave apologize to you in public!" ”
"Steward Cao, are you the commander or am I the commander in this caravan? Even if Ji Wushuang is divorced, I am still the second lady of the Ke family, you don't want to be presumptuous in front of me!" Ke Yimeng raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice.
She naturally wouldn't let Ling Xue duel with the guards, as we all know, women's physique is not as good as men's, and they still suffer losses in the same level battle, not to mention the battle of the two orders, this is probably only possible by those animal-like existences among the disciples of the Tianyun Martial Mansion.
"Divorce, what's going on?" Ling Xue couldn't help muttering in her heart, such a beautiful woman was sent to the door for nothing, and there were people who didn't want it, whose brother was so domineering, but, hehe, brother, you don't like it well, I just like it tightly, such a beautiful and righteous woman, it's hard to find a lantern, if you don't have luck, forget it.
Thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, Ling Xue didn't get distracted, the corners of her mouth swept up with a slight mockery, now that her Qingyun swordsmanship has reached the end of her life, no one has practiced with her yet, the Ke family's guards are difficult to meet opponents at the same level, right, just use it to try the sword, it just so happens that she can't get used to the face of this Cao steward.
Before Cao Xing'an could open his mouth to change his mind, Ling Xue smiled and said, "My sister thanked my sister first, but Steward Cao's words really hurt my sister's self-esteem too much, although my sister's cultivation is shallow, but it is not something that others can humiliate at will." Steward Cao, if I can't beat your guards, then the two of us will roll up and get out of the house immediately, but if I win by luck, please don't forget what you said, okay. ”
Speaking of the last two words, Ling Xue's temperament changed suddenly, if it was just a soft square scarf, but at this time, it changed suddenly, more like a peerless sword hidden in the scabbard and about to be unsheathed!
Ke Yimeng's eyes flashed, he didn't expect the girl in front of him to be able to burst out with such a sharp momentum, among the women he saw, Ke Yimeng had indeed never seen it, and he couldn't help but appreciate the girl in front of him in his heart, but after thinking about it, it was this arrogance that was about to bury this girl, Ke Yimeng couldn't help but turn the little appreciation in his heart into anger and blame.
Annoyed, one is that the angry girl is hot-headed, and she can't help the excitement of Steward Cao, who could have taken on some responsibilities at most to keep their master and servant, but now it's good, Ling Xue said that there is no way back, and in the end she can only watch the two of them die alive in the black desert;
"Sister, don't be impulsive, Steward Cao is just a knife-mouthed tofu heart, you must not go to your heart. And Jiang Lao, you can also stop your young lady, don't be so troublesome, no matter what Steward Cao says now, I will definitely keep the two of you. ”
Ling Xue's recent cultivation Jiang Lao has been watching from the side, and he still has a relatively clear understanding of Ling Xue's approximate combat power, although the strength of the guards is still unclear, but at the beginning, Tang Gu, who came from Tianyun Martial Mansion, cultivated at the second level of the Condensation Pulse Realm and even had a sword martial soul, couldn't go a few rounds under Miss, you must know that Sword Martial Soul is one of the most powerful martial souls, and the challenge of leapfrogging is as simple as drinking water and eating, presumably no matter how strong these guards are, they are not far from Tang Gu, not to mention that Miss still has three martial arts in her body, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
However, Ke Yiman is also well-intentioned, but he is not good at showing arrogance, it is too cold for other people's minds, Jiang Xingyuan had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly: "Thank you Miss Ke, but the old slave really can't control his own miss, Miss Ke, it's better to let my young lady try it." ”
Try it, this test is your two lives, who is going up to the duel, why is the party not as nervous as an outsider like me now.
Ke Yimeng has never seen such a belligerent and stubborn woman when he is so old, he can't help but be angry at this time, he wants to do a good deed, but now he doesn't appreciate it, and he doesn't want to care about it, but he can't help but want to open his mouth to stop it, but he was robbed by Steward Cao: "Second Miss, since these two people don't know what to do, let them open their eyes this time, rest assured, the old slave will let the guards stop at the point." ”
Ke Yimeng looked at Steward Cao with anger on his eyes for a long time, took a deep breath, and knew that anger at this time would not change anything, so his eyes sparkled slightly, and he looked at the guards on the side, and said: "Xue Lei, you have just been promoted to the third layer of the Condensation Pulse Realm recently, and your breath is not very stable, and the shield martial soul really needs to be tempered, and now I will give you a chance to consolidate." ”
"Obey! Second Miss!" a wheat-skinned soldier stepped forward and walked across from Ling Xue.
Cao Xing'an smiled slightly, and looked at the wind and sand in the distance with his sleeves, he knew that this was Ke Yimeng releasing water to the wild girl who didn't know the height of the sky, but even if it was a guard who had just been promoted to the third layer of the Condensation Realm, it was a guard of the second layer of the Condensation Realm, and one hand was enough to defeat that girl.
Hearing the words of the second lady of the Ke family, Ling Xue's heart warmed slightly, and she understood that Ke Yimeng's words seemed to be for the guard named Xue Lei, but in fact, she told herself, "I told you all about your opponent's old bottom, and I also put so much water for you, senior sister, I can only help you get here at most, and you can cheer on yourself later."
The rumors are true, although Ke Yimeng will not be coquettish and cute, but he does act in a chivalrous style, the eldest brother who quit the marriage must have been fascinated by all kinds of weak and delicate black girls and couldn't find the north, such a good woman missed it like this.
Ling Xue grinned at Ke Yiman, revealing her white teeth, and said, "Ling Xue thanked Miss Ke first. ”
"Don't thank me, you can do it yourself. "Everyone loves flowers and flowers blooms, but it is useless here in Ke Yiman, she just said coldly.
Ling Xue smiled, of course she didn't care, her eyes returned to the guard opposite, thinking that the brother opposite also had the same surname as her in her previous life, she couldn't help but feel a little kind in her heart, thinking that it would be okay to bully others for a while, but don't let the family suffer too much, so she said: "Big brother, if there is any means to greet me in a while, you don't have to tie your hands and feet, my sister has rough skin and thick meat, and she is very durable." ”
If Ke Yiman wasn't still in the carriage at this time, she couldn't let Ling Xue's words be angry, one second ago she was still thinking about helping this unconscious Nizi find a way to release water, and the next second she began to dismantle her own platform, with a dark face and didn't speak, she simply put down the red curtain together, saving herself the trouble of looking at it, but the green lotus next to her couldn't help but smile, and smiled in Ke Yiman's ear: "Miss, this sister is interesting, I don't feel like our women, but like those men." ”
Ke Yiman's melon seed face was even darker at this time, "You don't have to say good things for her." ”
Feeling that Ling Xue's tone was kind, not as pretentious as an ordinary woman, and she was also really smart, Xue Lei couldn't help but feel a little good in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Girl, it's better for you to take out your weapons and release your martial soul first." ”
Ling Xue felt that Xue Lei was looking at the Qingyun Sword pinned to his waist and the broken army sword wrapped in bandages behind him, so he pulled out the Qingyun Sword from its scabbard, and then showed an embarrassed look, and said: "The sword behind the little woman has been seriously worn out in the past few days, and it has not been taken to the blacksmith to fight again, so it will not be taken out to be ashamed, in addition, the little woman's martial soul has a special purpose, and now it has been released, but brother, you haven't seen it yet, don't worry, I should do my best." ”
Now the snake sword martial soul can only be used at the same time as the broken army sword, and this statement is just to comfort Xue Lei, so as not to take too much of a blow to him for a while.
Xue Lei showed a sudden look, the martial spirits in this world are strange, and there are no special points on Ling Xue's body, so he didn't think much about it, so he slowly pulled out the long sword inserted behind him, looked at Ling Xue's jade face that could be broken, and said slowly: "Although the young lady is kind, but where the duty is, although the point is up, I will not show mercy to my subordinates, be careful!"
The duel between the guards and himself must have Cao Xing'an on the side, if Xue Lei releases the water, I am afraid that the end will not be good, this Ling Xue is clear in her heart, she was originally in her own camp, no wonder Xue Lei.
The girl stood with her sword in her hand, like a female sword god, and now that the Qingyun sword was unsheathed, held in her hand, a sharp sword intent seemed to pierce the sky. The dark wind and sand blew the cloak on her body, but her eyes were as calm as water, and she was not shaken by the cold wind and sand in the sky.
"You're careful, too. ”
