At this moment, a figure sprang out again, coldly stabbing at him. Ling Tianxiao raised his sword to block, and the martial arts of the person who came were the same as those of the man in black, but this time the other party had been gathering momentum for a long time, so Ling Tianxiao was invincible to his might, so he took a few steps back for the time being.

As soon as Ling Tianxiao stood firm, his heart was not good, and when he looked up, he saw the two of them throwing down smoke bombs. Ling Tianxiao chased after him, but the smoke bomb contained a choking smell, he covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and when he looked ahead again, it was empty.

Ling Tianxiao looked back and saw that the original four men in black had already fled. Not only that, but after Duan Yujin and Yan Mu chased them out, he learned that those people also did the same and escaped using smoke bombs.

Ling Tianxiao touched his nose, looked at Duan Yujin, and frowned, "The others don't matter, but if you get serious, those people will definitely not be able to escape, why did you let them go?" ”

Duan Yujin smiled and said, "Aren't you the same?" ”

Ling Tianxiao shook his head and sighed, "I'm different, the people who fight with me are by no means idle. ”

Duan Yujin thought he was laughing at first, but when he saw that the sword qi on the ground had penetrated three inches into the earth, he gasped and said in surprise: "This person actually forced you to make this move, it really shouldn't be underestimated." ”

Ling Tianxiao glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "They are Dongying's ninjas, and their sword skills are treacherous and changeable, if you encounter them, you must not underestimate them." ”

At this time, Yan Mu stepped forward, and while visiting Xing Yueying's situation, he sneered and said: "Hmph, what's so terrible, those people were killed by me so that they didn't even know their parents, if it wasn't for the fraud to escape, I would have cut off their heads a long time ago." ”

Without waiting for Ling Tianxiao to reply, Xing Yue stood up and said unhappily: "You are only dealing with a little minion, of course it is very easy, but Ling Gongzi is dealing with their leader, so it is naturally a hard battle." ”

Yan Mu quickly interrupted her words, his eyes were full of anger, and he whispered, "They are all tightly wrapped, do you know who the leader is?" I see that you were drugged by him, and you don't know the world for a long time, so you just care about helping him say good things. ”

Xing Yueying had just seen it with her own eyes, and at this time, she was misunderstood by him, and she was naturally a little unhappy in her heart. She snorted coldly, pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you refuse to admit his strength?" Master once said that you should be humble as a human being, so why should you deceive yourself? ”

Yan Mu heard her mention the word master, and then he was furious, and said sharply: "If it wasn't for the master ordering me to accompany you, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you." I just want to get things done as soon as possible and find my senior brother to practice swordsmanship together, so I don't want to waste a lot of time on this errand. ”

Xing Yueying said disapprerovingly: "I think you want to find Senior Sister, right?" ”

Yan Mu was angry, and when she talked about it, her old face suddenly turned red and said, "You, don't talk nonsense." ”

Xing Yueying clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Did I say yes?" I usually say that I want to improve myself and help others in the rivers and lakes, so I want to find someone to guide you one or two, but in fact, I just want to become stronger, so that the senior sister will be impressed by you. ”

Yan Mu was stunned for a moment, his face was embarrassed and angry, of course he was uncomfortable when he was said like this in front of everyone. Yan Mu raised his eyes, glared at Xing Yueying, gritted his teeth and said, "Good men don't fight with women, so I don't waste my tongue." You can't stay here for a long time, I'm going to lead the horse, you'd better follow up obediently, otherwise I will say in front of the master that you are so dazed by a man that you have forgotten about business. ”

Xing Yueying's face turned red, she glared at him hatefully, and pursed her lips: "You dare!" ”

Yan Mu said disapprerovingly: "You see if I dare." With that, he went straight to the stable.

Xing Yueying's eyes drooped, and she glanced at Ling Tianxiao with her spare eyes, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, and she said abruptly: "Don't listen to his nonsense." ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled: "You're not injured, are you?" ”

Xing Yueying shook her head and said, "It's okay yet, thank you for your concern." ”

After a moment of silence, Ling Tianxiao suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, coughed dryly, and deliberately raised his voice to urge Duan Yujin to go on the road. Although Xing Yueying wanted to say something more, Ling Tianxiao's body folded, and he swept out like a flying fly, and disappeared in front of her in an instant.

Three days later, Ling Tianxiao and his entourage arrived at the Xia Ke Valley, the valley was covered with moss, the snow was deep and the plum blossomed, and a plum fragrance came to the heart, which made the heart and spleen pure.

The snow is white, and the dark fragrance is floating, presenting a hazy beauty. Ling Tianxiao and the others walked around the valley, and finally found a winding path, followed the trend, and finally saw the door of the Chivalry Villa at sunset.

Led by two maidservants, they stepped into the large courtyard, turned a corner, and walked along the corridor. Just as everyone was walking while enjoying the snowy scene, the sound of a woman frolicking suddenly sounded in one of the courtyards.

Everyone stopped for a moment and looked at it, only to see four maidservants surrounding a little girl of about ten years old, coaxing her and playing a game of shuttlecock kicking with her. Logically speaking, this scene should be harmonious, but the little girl doesn't look happy, her jade face is cold, and she can't bear it.

A beautiful woman in a yellow shirt who seemed to have a high status seemed to have discovered this, squatted down to take the shuttlecock, patted the little girl's shoulder, and said flatly: "Third Miss, it's a little cold, let's go into the house and rest?" ”

The girl didn't say a word, nodded slightly, and just as she was about to leave, she noticed Ling Tianxiao and the others. At first, she didn't care much about it, until her gaze moved to Ling Tianxiao, and her bright eyes suddenly glowed with interest. The maidservant girl in the rear was about to ask what was wrong, but the little girl shouted coldly: "Is it Brother Xiao?" ”

Ling Tianxiao was shocked in his heart, looked at the little girl, and after a while, he was dumbfounded and said, "Could it be that you are Shangguan Ling'er?" ”

Shangguan Ling'er's delicate body trembled slightly with excitement, and rushed up desperately, but before the maids had time to stop her, she had already climbed to the railing.

Due to the thick snow, the stone was covered, and Shangguan Ling'er accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. The maidservant was shocked, she thought she would cry, but she didn't seem to care about it, although there were still tears on her face, she still ran straight in the direction of Ling Tianxiao, afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Ling Tianxiao was also worried that Shangguan Ling'er would be injured, so he stretched out his body and swept in front of her. Shangguan Ling'er immediately pounced, hugged him firmly, and said with a smile: "It's really Brother Xiao, you are finally willing to come back to see Ling'er." ”

Ling Tianxiao squatted down, touched her head with one hand, wiped the snow stains on her face with the other, and said with a wry smile: "Little fool, if you run around like this, if you fall and get injured, how can I explain to your sister?" ”

Shangguan Ling'er shook her head violently, and pouted: "Ling'er is not afraid of pain, but I'm afraid that Brother Xiao will forget Ling'er." ”

Ling Tianxiao saw that she was pretending to be strong, but he couldn't bear to poke her, and sighed loudly: "Let Brother Xiao see your injuries." Shangguan Ling'er held both hands, Ling Tianxiao picked her up, rolled up her skirt, and looked at her red and swollen knees.

All the maidservants changed color on the spot, their beautiful eyes stared, their eyes stared at his face like lightning, and they shouted in unison: "Bold and rude, dare to despise the third lady of my family, don't let it go quickly!" ”

Suddenly, a servant girl pulled out a soft sword hidden in the leather belt around her waist, and was about to rush forward, when Shangguan Ling'er shouted: "Who is not allowed to hurt Brother Xiao!" ”

When the maidservants heard the order, they were stunned for a long time and looked at each other. They have taken care of Shangguan Ling'er for many years, and Shangguan Ling'er rarely speaks, let alone use a commanding tone to them, and now they have opened a golden mouth for a strange man, which is really unbelievable to them.

The yellow-shirted maid examined the situation, turned her head to glance at the others, waved her hand, and motioned for them to step down. Then she came alone and saluted Ling Tianxiao: "The little girl's name is Tian Meng, she is the personal manager of the third young lady, I don't know who the son is?" ”

Ling Tianxiao bowed his head and said, "My surname is Ling." ”

Tian Meng raised his beautiful eyes, and after a little scrutiny, he showed a look of confusion, and continued: "Tian Meng has been coming to the Chivalry Villa for several years, and I will follow the third lady every time she travels far away, but I have never met Ling Gongzi, I don't know why Ling Gongzi met her?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and nodded, and said indifferently, "That was before you came here, and I had a few encounters with her. ”

Tian Meng frowned and said, "Is it really an outsider who has a relationship with several faces?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Ling'er was not happy, she puffed out her cheeks, pursed her small mouth and said: "Brother Xiao is not an outsider, Brother Xiao is Ling'er's Brother Xiao." ”

Tian Meng saw that Shangguan Ling'er trusted him, and he was very surprised, and when he was about to ask, there was a whisper from the garden, and several maidservants came over.

One of them, a peerless and graceful woman, with her head tied in a Lingyun bun and her waist swinged, walked in front of all the maidservants. She was wearing a plain white Luo Yi gown, her figure was like a fairy, and her posture was elegant and noble. Although the handmaid beside her is good-looking, it has become a green leaf in front of her, and a group of handmaidens follow her, like stars and moons.

The woman's name is Shangguan Xian, her pair of beautiful eyebrows are slender and charming, obliquely towards the temples, and her clear eyes are shining. The only pity is that she is as cold as ice and does not smile, which makes people feel a sense of alienation from the flower of Kaolin, but it cannot be blasphemed from a distance.

Shangguan Xian looked at everyone, raised a jade face and asked, "What's the noise?" ”

Before the maidservant could come forward to apologize, Shangguan Ling'er immediately intercepted: "Sister Xian, it's Brother Xiao who has returned." ”

Shangguan Xian was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Ling Tianxiao with dark eyes, and after a while, she pursed her red lips, don't be too pretty, and said with a complicated look in her eyes: "I don't know this man." ”

Shangguan Ling'er was surprised: "How could Sister Immortal not know Brother Xiao?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled wryly, touched Shangguan Ling'er's immature face, and pretended to be helpless: "Since she doesn't know me, then I'd better go first." ”

Shangguan Xian was stunned in his heart, turned his head and said in shock: "Did you just come back and are leaving?" As soon as these words came out, she realized that she had lost her temper, and quickly coughed dryly, pretending to be calm. When the maidservants on the side heard her statement, they were very strange and suspicious. These handmaidens have been serving for many years, and they can observe words and emotions to some extent, even so, they can't imagine why the cold Shangguan Immortal in the past would treat a strange man so politely.

Ling Tianxiao knew very well in his heart that Shangguan Xian was very thin-skinned, so he didn't dare to tease her in a big way, so he didn't want to open the topic and said, "Is Ling Zun here?" I want to see him, can you arrange it for me? ”

Shangguan Xian looked at him with eyes and said resentfully: "Are you just here to find your father?" ”

Ling Tianxiao hugged Shangguan Ling'er, his eyes were blazing, and he stepped forward and said, "No matter who I am here for today, I should always meet the owner of the mountain villa first so that I will not lose my manners, right?" ”

Shangguan Xian was overjoyed when he heard this, although Ling Tianxiao didn't say anything, it also implied that he had her in his heart.

Shangguan Xianqiao's face was slightly red, and she regained her cold and calm complexion, pretending to be calm: "You come with me!" ”

Xing Yueying, who was staying in the rear, saw this and shouted, "I'm going too." ”

Shangguan Xian turned around indifferently, looked at her dress for a moment, and said coldly: "You are a member of the Imperial Sword Sect, I don't know what is the important matter of your faction coming to the Valley of Heroes?" ”

Xing Yueying coughed dryly, and said respectfully: "The family teacher has a life, and I hope to invite the owner of Shangguan Zhuang to come to the sect." ”

Shangguan Xiandai's eyebrows raised slightly, and her face was like frost and said: "My father is practicing in retreat, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to meet outsiders." ”

Xing Yue was surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to see the owner of Shangguan Zhuang now?" ”

Shangguan Xian lowered his head and said in a low voice: "He, he is not an outsider. After speaking, everyone was in an uproar. Shangguan Xian hurriedly cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment, she looked at Tian Meng and instructed, "You take Ling'er to rest first." ”

Shangguan Ling'er couldn't stop shaking her head, and said awkwardly: "Ling'er doesn't want it." Ling Tianxiao had no choice but to make an agreement with her, and after coaxing and cheating, he finally asked Tian Meng to take her away.

Shangguan Xian gave an order and sent the other maidservants, leaving Ling Tianxiao alone to follow her. Although the maidservant felt that it was inappropriate, she didn't dare to disobey her will, so she only watched the two of them leave slowly.

After walking for a while, Ling Tianxiao saw that there was no one around, and with a dip of his hands, he pulled her to the dark corridor. Shangguan Xian didn't have time to protest, and his jade-like mouth had been sealed by him. Ling Tianxiao put one hand around her little waist and caressed her elastic pink neck with the other. After a long time, Shangguan Xian stretched out his fingers like spring onions, gently pushed him away, and said coquettishly: "I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so unruly." Her sideburns were disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and her heart was beating violently,

Ling Tianxiao looked disapproving, leaned next to her ear, and chuckled: "I think no matter who sees you, it will be difficult to control yourself from being tempted by you. ”

Shangguan Xian Liwo suddenly appeared, glanced at him with a charming look, and then showed a sad look, and sighed: "When are you leaving?" ”

Ling Tianxiao pretended to be surprised and said, "Who said I was leaving?" ”

Shangguan Xian looked around and confirmed that there was really no one nearby, so he let go of his reserve, and said quietly: "I'm not Ling'er so coaxing, you definitely won't stay for a long time, right?" ”

Ling Tianxiao raised her pretty face and said with a wry smile: "After a three-year appointment, I still have to go to the Empty Hidden Temple." I'll come back to you when everything is right. ”
