"Go to sleep, too."

After sending Chen Ci away, Xu Lan set his eyes on Qingluan and Hongluan.

"Okay, if Childe has anything, just shout."

Qingluan and Hongluan glanced at each other and casually exited the room.

After they left, the candlelight in the room went out, and Xu Lan fell asleep peacefully.

Minutes and seconds passed, and at about midnight, a swift figure appeared in the courtyard.

She glanced at the room where Xu Lan was, with a slightly puzzled expression.

This prodigal son of the Ascendant Disciple didn't fall asleep with his arms left and right?

However, she didn't think too much about it, but stepped on the eaves of the courtyard and walked quickly towards the outside of Xu's mansion.

In an alley outside Xu's house,

There were already several figures wearing fast hunting clothes waiting here, and after seeing Chen Ci's arrival, several people clasped their fists and saluted.

"I've seen Master Chen."

Chen Ci held the hilt of the sword with one hand and asked carefully: "Everyone Xu Lan said in his confession, has there ever been anything wrong?" ”

"The subordinates and others have gone to inquire and found the people Xu Lan described in his confession, and they have inquired one by one and found that there are no mistakes."

Hearing the words, he fell silent,

Is it really your own delusion?

"My lord, my subordinates have a question, what is really wrong with this Xu Lan?"

At this time, one person was puzzled,

According to the information obtained by the Hanging Mirror Division, what problem can this Xu Lan have with an innocent family background and a powerless scholar?

"His confession was perfect."

Chen Ci said expressionlessly: "Don't you think it's weird to make a confession that people can't find the slightest flaw?" ”

Falling into the hands of the people in the Demon Sect and being able to come back unharmed is a big loophole in itself.

"Your Excellency is... Suspect that he is in collusion with the rebels of the Demon Cult? ”

"I don't rule out the possibility of that."

Chen Ci looked in the direction where Xu Fu was and continued, "In addition to this, I am also worried that there will be another situation, and he will be planted with demons by the Demon Sect without his own knowledge. ”

When they heard the words "planting the demons", everyone's expressions changed slightly.

This is a secret technique specially used by the Demon Cult to control the minds of others, and the caster often does not realize that his every move is controlled by others until he dies.

It was also because of this secret technique that the Demon Sect was like a weed in the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"According to the information we got before, there is a candidate saintess among the demon sect traitors who are hunted down this time, and she can't run far when she is highly poisoned."

"The most dangerous place in this situation is often the safest place." ”

If the Demon Sect traitor threatens Xu Lan to make some kind of deal, let him return home safely, and then hide in Xu's mansion to avoid being arrested.

Isn't the Hanging Mirror Division a clown who is being played with?

"You continue to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Sect traitor, she must still be near Qingzhou."

Then Chen Ci said slowly: "As for Xu Lan... Whether he has a problem or not, I need to stay and observe for a while. ”

"Yes."

Everyone clenched their fists in response and dispersed, and Chen Ci also turned around and returned to Xu's mansion.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Lan opened his eyes and woke up, and with the help of the two maids, he finished washing.

"What an enviable life for a reader..."

He didn't even have to wash his face, Xu Lan felt that he would become a waste if he continued like this.

But he doesn't reject it.

"Take the sword off the wall for me."

From today onwards, Xu Lan decided to set himself a small goal every day: to swing the sword a thousand times!

"Childe, is this going to practice swords?"

Hearing this, Qingluan and Hongluan showed surprised looks.

Although they have not been in the Xu Mansion for a long time, they also learned from other subordinates that their son-in-law has not been interested in practicing martial arts since he was a child.

"Practice, it should always be necessary."

Xu Lan didn't explain much, and then Qingluan took down the long sword on the wall and handed it to him.

Then Xu Lan began to swing his sword in the courtyard,

"+1 for the number of sword swings, 2 for the current total number of sword swings."

"+1 sword swings, 3 sword swings so far."

"+1 sword swings, 4 sword swings so far."

…….

At the same time, Chen Ci, who was in the courtyard room next door, seemed to hear something, and she slowly opened her eyes with a puzzled look.

"Didn't you say that Xu Lan, the son of the Xu family, didn't like to practice martial arts since he was a child?"

With the doubts in his heart, he walked out of his room and jumped on the wall, and saw Xu Lan who was constantly swinging his sword.

At first, she thought that Xu Lan was practicing some kind of swordsmanship, but when she looked at her, she found that Xu Lan was repeating a slashing action from beginning to end.

"Flower shelf..."

Chen Ci silently complained in his heart, so that even if he practiced for 10,000 years, he couldn't practice anything.

"+1 for the number of sword swings, 100 sword swings so far."

"Swing the sword 100 times, you have awakened the [Innate Sword Body]!"

At the same time, Xu Lan's heart moved slightly, this... Is it already something that has been gained?

Innate Sword Body...

Could it be some kind of physique suitable for cultivating kendo?

"Master Xu, the sword is used to kill, not to play."

Chen Ci didn't want to pay attention to Xu Lan, but in the end he couldn't stand it.

She jumped down from the wall to Xu Lan's side and pulled out the long sword at her waist, and the moment the blade came out of the sheath, Xu Lan felt a piercing chill.

This sword has killed people.

I don't know why Xu Lan had this intuition in his heart,

At this time, the long sword in Chen Ci's hand shook slightly, her figure was sometimes as light as a swallow and sometimes as fast as lightning, and Qingluan and Hongluan couldn't see her movements clearly at all.

Just to see the fallen leaves in the courtyard dancing with her sword,

But in Xu Lan's eyes, all the actions of Chen Ci at this moment are like a movie that has slowed down countless times.

He can see every movement of Chen Ci, every sword he throws...

In an instant, the long sword in Chen Ci's hand condensed into an invisible sword aura with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the wall a few meters away left sword marks in response.

After dozens of breaths,

Chen Ci stopped and slowly withdrew the long sword from his waist.

"This is called a sword."

Chen Ci said slowly, she just wanted Xu Lan to know that it was not to pick up the sword and wave it casually a few times.

"Miss Chen's handsome kung fu!"

Xu Lan clapped his palms and said, "Is this some kind of swordsmanship trick?" ”

"Hmm."

Chen Ci raised his head slightly, and said in a slightly lower tone of pride: "This set of swordsmanship was created by a kendo master of the Great Chu Dynasty a hundred years ago, and almost no one has been able to comprehend the true meaning of this set of swordsmanship for a hundred years, even if it took me ten years to learn, I have only learned a little scratch." ”

"That's right..."

Xu Lan nodded and said, "Then I'll try." ”

Speech: ???

What are you trying?

"Just now I had a little feeling in my heart when I watched the girl dance the sword, if there is anything wrong, please correct the girl one by one."
