"Why are you here?" Xu Huange turned around and said in surprise.

"Hehe, isn't this separated from the master? We'll be back and waiting for you. Elder Lou Hua laughed.

"Separated?" Xu Huange raised his eyebrows and said in his heart, I'm afraid you did it on purpose, right?

When the three elders saw the girl following behind Xu Huange, they immediately smiled.

"Isn't this a fairy girl? Did you come back from a tour with our boss? ”

"Hello three elders! Master Xu and I met in Mandarin Duck Lake and walked together. Jiao Wanyue said respectfully to the three elders.

Mandarin Duck Lake? Xu Huange was stunned, daring to love that lake is full of routines.

"Good, good, good!" The three elders said hello three times in a row, and their eyes smiled into a line.

I guess I misunderstood what I had with Miss Jiao.

Xu Huange hurriedly stopped: "It's getting late, Miss Jiao should go back early." ”

"Well, Jiao Wanyue will leave first, thank you for the lotus lantern that Master Xu gave me." Jiao Wanyue said goodbye to everyone with a smile.

After Jiao Wanyue left, Xu Huange finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How do I think this girl doesn't look like what we saw that night?" Elder Tongguan Long suddenly snapped.

Elder Lou Hua immediately pushed him with his elbow and said, "What are you talking about, our head is handsome and extraordinary, how can there be only one girl who likes it?" ”

"That night? What are you talking about? Xu Huange frowned.

"Hehe, you may not remember the boss, that night you had a high fever that didn't go away, and a girl came to bring you medicine, and we all saw it."

What they said was that it should be Lin Chuyi.

I guess they saw it. Xu Huange's face turned red.

"But that girl seems to be a member of the Qing Pavilion faction, there seems to be something on your mind when you two met at the last martial arts competition, thinking that you seem to be in a bad mood these days, is it related to that girl?" Elder Tongguan Long asked.

"Don't guess......"

"Alas, where is there no grass at the end of the world, how can our head be trapped by love? The lanterns in Jiao Wanyue's hands were all given by our head, doesn't this mean anything? ”

"What does it mean to send a lantern?" Xu Huange frowned.

Elder Lou Hua smiled and said, "It shows that the head of the family likes people!" ”

"Like? Do you like to send a lantern? What is the rationale for this? ”

"Alas, if there is really nothing on weekdays, but today is the Yimiao Festival, the tradition of the Yimiao Festival is to give the lantern in my hand to the person I like on behalf of my heart to you, and then make a wish in the Mandarin Duck Lake and banish, the wish will come true, don't you know?" Elder Lou Hua explained.

"Of course I don't know! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Xu Huange was helpless for a while.

No wonder Lin Chuyi asked Jiao Wanyue about the lantern just now, and when he learned that the lantern was given by himself, he immediately turned around and left, it seems that he really misunderstood......

"Alas, we are afraid that you will not want to go if you talk too much to the master, and we are also thinking about your lifelong events."

"Thank you so much......" Xu Huange closed his eyes helplessly.

"What's wrong, boss, are you uncomfortable? By the way, why didn't you banish the lanterns with Miss Jiao and then come back? Elder Fan Yuzeng asked.

"What kind of lanterns are you putting on...... Alas! Xu Huange was speechless for a moment and turned to leave.

The three elders immediately looked at each other.

"What's the matter, boss?" Elder Fan Yuzeng blinked.

"I guess...... I should be shy, huh. Elder Tongguan Long analyzed.

"I guess too, after all, we are young and thin-skinned, how can we resist being ridiculed like this." Elder Lou Hua nodded.

"Then let's talk until the point is in the future, after all, young people's emotional problems are still solved by themselves."

"Well, that's right."

After Xu Huange returned to the room, he threw himself on his bed and closed his eyes.

"Well, what's going on......"

He lay on the bed for a while, then rolled over and looked out the window with a blank look in his eyes. Silently took out the red bag given to him by Lin Chuyi from his cuffs, and all kinds of past deeds suddenly came to mind.

You still have to find an appropriate time to explain everything, otherwise the misunderstanding will only get deeper.

Because Yu Xiyancheng's matter has been delayed for a long time, the time for the next competition will be compacted.

In the end, four gangs entered the finals, namely the Xuanmo faction, the Qingge faction, the Green Valley Villa and the Guyue faction.

On the day of the finals, the major gangs waited in their seats for a long time, but they did not see Hou Wangye appear. I saw a guard running over from the sidelines, announcing that Prince Hou was ill and could not be present because of the handling of the owner of Yuxi Village a few days ago, but he had arranged everything properly, and the four major gangs only needed to follow the guards to find it.

To put it simply, according to the meaning of Hou Wangye, change the venue, no longer judge winning or losing in the form of the ring, but go to the mountains to hunt for treasures.

So, the four gangs followed the guards to a nearby hill. This mountain is called Hua Si Mountain, it looks really ordinary from a distance, there are no terrible rumors, there is nothing special, it is full of green trees, and occasionally there is a little sound of birdsong, compared with the previous Wuji Mountain, it is simply ordinary to the extreme.

"Elders, an enchantment has been set up on this mountain, and the major gangs can send one person to enter to find the Qiyun Knife, and whoever gets it first out of the mountain forest will win. In terms of time, our Hou Wang Ye said that it can be relaxed to three days, if you haven't found the Qiyun Knife in three days, it will be lost, and if you lose, the Qiyun Knife will be left permanently. ”

Everyone present looked at each other, how did it sound like a "scheme". If no one was found, and dared to make such a competition, the cloud knife would still be left.

No wonder Prince Hou didn't appear, it was doubtful whether he was willing to really hand over the Qiyun Knife.

"Are you sure there is a cloud knife in this mountain?" The head of the Guyue Sect wondered.

"Rest assured, the Qiyun Knife is in the mountains, and if no one finds it in the end, it will be taken out of the mountain by Prince Hou himself." The commander of the guards laughed.

What he means is that the Qiyun Knife is in the mountains, and whether you can find it depends on your personal ability.

It seems that this is not only a test of personal martial arts, but also a test of various abilities in other aspects of the individual, such as insight, action, and strategic skills.

Xu Huange thought that if Hou Wangye was in the sky, he would definitely be a good principal for selecting talents.

I saw that the commander of the guards waved his hand, and several guards in the rear brought some paper and pens and distributed them to the elders present.

"What are you?" Liu Qingquan frowned and asked.

"Please ask the people of all sects and factions to enter the Huasilt Mountain to write down the life and death situation, indicating that they are willing to participate, and life and death have nothing to do with Lord Hou."

Everyone looked at each other.

"What does Lord Hou mean by this? What is life and death has nothing to do with Hou Wangye, is it possible that we may not know life and death when we enter this melting silt mountain? Liu Qingquan frowned.

"Yes! What does Prince Hou want to get rid of? ”

There was immediately a boiling sound around the area.

"Everyone, be quiet! Calm down! The commander of the guards waved.

"Listen to me, this life and death situation is actually not so complicated, and our prince Hou is not trying to clear up any relationship, don't think too much. Everyone knows that in the past few days, our Hou Wang Ye has worked hard for the matter of Yu Xiyancheng, the owner of Jianling Mountain Villa, and he has not closed his eyes for several days and nights, trying his best to find the whereabouts of Yu Xizhuang, no, his body is so tired that he has fallen. But now it is rumored that this is indeed not the case, all of them are saying that the unknown life and death of the owner of Yuxi Zhuang is related to our Hou Wangye, it is our owner who killed Yu Xi Yancheng, and some people even make rumors that this competition is a huge conspiracy, wanting to kill all the masters of various domains. Our prince Hou really can't say anything when he hears it! ”

The surroundings gradually quieted down.

"Working hard day and night, but in exchange for such a reputation, our prince Hou really can't afford it. I thought that the competition would stop and save my body of purity, but when I thought that the elders had come all the way from the outer regions, if they didn't get anything, I was afraid that they would say that our prince Hou had no faith in his words and went back on his word. Therefore, we Hou Wangye thought of using this method, and I hope you will understand more. ”

Yu Xiyancheng's death, I am afraid that only himself and Jiao Wanyue know best, but now that I think about it, Hou Wangye did send people to search for several days and nights, even now, there are guards sent to look for it near the burial post.

But being misunderstood by the outside world like this does have this concern.

"Our Hou Wangye doesn't want to shirk responsibility, he won't shirk the responsibility of Hou Wangye, it's not Hou Wangye's responsibility, and I also ask you to testify for Hou Wangye to show his innocence."

"It's not that we don't trust Lord Hou's character, the main thing is to suddenly let us sign this life and death certificate, if there is really any danger," the head ......of the Guyue Sect said worriedly.

"Our Hou Wangye specially chose this mountain, but also for everyone's safety, but no one can guarantee whether there are some dangers such as birds and beasts inside, our Hou Wangye said, if anyone is unwell halfway, it is okay to quit."

Everyone looked at each other, still reluctant to sign.

"Of course, Prince Hou said that if anyone doesn't want to participate, they can also abstain from signing." The Commander of the Guards prompted.

It was not easy to break out of more than a dozen gangs, and no one would easily quit at this point.

Quitting means giving someone else a chance.

"Hmph, I hope that your prince Hou will be true to his word and don't play tricks on us." The head of the Ancient Moon Sect snorted coldly.

"Our Lord Hou has always been true to his word, whoever takes out the Qiyun Knife first and walks out of the mountain can take it away directly."

On the one hand, the benefits are gained, and on the other hand, security considerations are obtained. Everyone looked at the silt mountain ahead, and guessed what kind of danger they would encounter in this mountain.

"Good! I'll sign! The owner of the Green Ancient Mountain Villa took the lead in expressing his position.

"I'm still afraid that these birds and beasts won't succeed."

"I'll sign it too!" The head of the Guyue faction took over the sky.

"Good!" With a wave of his hand, the guard handed them a pen and paper.

The two waved their big hands, and several big characters flew and danced.

"What about Master Xu?" The commander of the guards looked at Xu Huange, who had been silent on the side.

"Natural involvement." Xu Huange smiled and picked up the pen and paper.

"Master, let me go." Liu Qingquan volunteered to ask for instructions.

"Then you should be careful." Master Changbai reminded.

"Yes, Master." Liu Qingquan waved his hand and signed his name on the life and death certificate.
