Chapter 10: Broken Sword
Half a year has passed in a flash.
In the past six months, Chu He has been staying in his small courtyard, and Chu Yanlan has not shown up several times when he visits. He needs to give the world the illusion that he doesn't know anything about what has happened in the past six months.
Of course, he didn't really go out of the house, and he sneaked out of the house a few times during the period and made some arrangements.
At the same time, in a hut on Xuanxian Peak, the Ye family brothers and sisters were sitting opposite each other. Ye Chen's expression was indifferent, while Ye Xin frowned slightly, looking a little heavy.
"I told you a long time ago, don't use those little hands and feet, the people of the Xu family are not stupid. Ye Chen looked at his sister with some amusement, and said, "Fortunately, there are masters to help you this time, otherwise you will be in trouble." ”
"What's the trouble?" Ye Xin snorted disdainfully, "Even if there is no letter, the Xu family will not be able to find us here." ”
At the beginning, it was Ye Xin who calculated Chu He and led the Howling Moon Silver Wolf to Xu Wanqing's side.
In fact, from Chu He's standpoint, it is not difficult to guess that it was Ye Xin who made a ghost. There may be many people who have the motive to harm Xu Wanqing, but the ones who will frame Chu He can only be the Ye family brothers and sisters.
And Ye Chen looks like the protagonist character of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people", and he can only be his second sister who doesn't know how to calculate like this.
After all, the Ye family brothers and sisters were not at the scene at the time, and they didn't dare to inquire too much afterwards, and they thought everything was going well, but they didn't know that Xu Wanqing almost died because of this.
In other words, they didn't know that their little pigtails had been lightly grasped by Chu He.
After a pause, Ye Xin pulled his brother's sleeve again and said with a smile: "This Xu Zhi is most likely from the Xu family, he will help me, I'm afraid it's also for the sake of my brother's innate sword body." ”
Of course, Ye Chen knew the deep meaning of his sister's words. Knowing that Sister Lu Dao was the mastermind behind the scenes, but Xu Wanqing still had to stick it with his eyes, Ye Chen was also secretly refreshed.
As Chu He guessed, Ye Chen was indeed a genius who was formed later, and the experience of being called a waste material in his early years made his self-esteem particularly strong. can make a character like Xu Wanqing come to the door, which is the most painful thing for him.
Seeing that his brother was smiling and silent, Ye Xin said again: "According to what was said in that letter, in the past six months, we have secretly publicized that Xu Wanqing's distress was Chu He's act of love and hatred. Now it seems that it worked well. ”
Yes, because Chu He has been publicizing that he is in retreat, the rumors released by the Ye family brothers and sisters are intensifying, and even imperceptibly, even Xu Wanqing believes it a little.
While the two were talking, Ye Xin's expression suddenly moved slightly, and he got up and said, "Chu He is out of the customs, Xu Wanqing has rushed over as soon as possible, brother, the time has come for you to make a splash!"
Ye Xin's face was full of joy, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart that his brother could correct his name, but Ye Chen shook his head slightly.
"You go over first, I just broke through the Qi refining period, consolidate the realm first, and I'll be there in a while." ”
"Okay. Ye Xin didn't doubt him, nodded and smiled, "Then I'll take the first step." If it's too late, he'll miss a good show!"
While speaking, Ye Xin had already swept out of the room, leaving only a string of mischievous laughter.
However, what Ye Xin didn't expect was that as soon as she walked out of the door with her front feet, Ye Chen, who was originally calm and calm, looked at her hands excitedly as if she had changed into a different person.
An aura rippled in his hands.
"Qi refining period! it's really the Qi refining period!" Ye Chen couldn't help whispering, as if this was the only way to vent the excitement in his heart.
Originally, he was just a waste with mediocre swordsmanship and unbearable qualifications, but at this time, he soared into the sky, broke through the Qi refining period in half a year, and even had an innate sword body, how could this make Ye Chen not feel excited?
After a long time, Ye Chen slowly calmed down. He knew that he could have everything he had today because of ...... He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the quaint ring on his ring finger.
Not to mention Ye Chen's solitary joy, after Ye Xin left Xuanxian Peak, he rushed all the way and rushed to Tianji Peak at the fastest speed, at this time Xu Wanqing had already arrived at Chu He's small courtyard, and there were many people from Tianji Peak around.
Xu Wanqing arrived, but Chu He hadn't shown up yet, which couldn't help but make Ye Xin breathe a sigh of relief. Hehe, the show hasn't started yet, and this girl is not late.
As if she was deliberately waiting for Ye Xin, as soon as she fell, the door of the small courtyard slowly opened. The fourth young master of Chu was dressed in a gorgeous costume and rushed out with a red light on his face.
"Wanqing......" Chu He looked at Xu Wanqing, who was habitually cold-faced, as if he didn't know anything, and smiled excitedly, "Xie Lu, thank you for coming over as soon as possible...... Come here......"
"Come over" for a long time, Chu He couldn't find a suitable word, and his handsome little face turned red.
Looking at Chu He's clumsy reaction, Xu Wanqing frowned slightly. She didn't believe that the guy in front of her, who was willing to say even a few styles of family knife techniques, would have such acting skills.
Could it really not be him?
"Ahem!" still arrived early, Chu Yanlan, who really didn't know the truth, couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward with a dry cough, "Fourth, I'm afraid things are not what you think." ”
Chu He's expression froze, he looked at his third sister in a daze, and wondered: "What is not what I thought? What happened?"
"Chu He, don't pretend anymore!"
Just when Chu He was showing off his acting skills, a coquettish cheer sounded, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Chu He turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He was surprised that it was not Ye Xin who spoke, and his good intentions of waiting for the other party were in vain.
Naturally, it would not be Xu Wanqing who spoke, but a girl standing beside him.
Chu He recognized her, this girl's name is Xu Ying, she is the only daughter of a Jindan real person in the Xu family, her status is quite high, and she and Xu Wanqing have been best friends for many years.
The publicity of the Ye family brothers and sisters is very good, I heard that Chu He is out of the customs, at this time, the Tianji Peak is crowded, and countless gossip monks are silently watching, waiting for a result of this matter.
As soon as Xu Ying spoke, everyone's eyes immediately focused on her, which made the little girl a little nervous.
However, when it comes to the safety and future of her best friend, she can't care so much, and immediately continued: "You saw that Senior Brother Ye had an innate sword body, and Wanqing would most likely favor him, so she was dissatisfied......
I have to say that Xu Ying's eloquence is very good. In a few words, the original matter was made clear, so that many hearsay colleagues suddenly realized that this was the case.
"So that's the case, I didn't expect this Chu He to be so vicious!"
"That's right, Senior Sister Xu clearly didn't do anything, but she suffered an unjustified disaster. "Xu Wanqing broke through the Qi Refining Period two months ago, but she officially entered the Golden Agenet Peak.
"I see, it's good that this happened, otherwise ......"
If Xu Ying's eloquence can score 80 points, then Chu He's acting skills can score 100 points.
I saw him looking at Xu Ying blankly, and then at Xu Wanqing, whose face was like frost, and then turned his gaze to Chu Yanlan. If he wants to play a completely unwitting victim, he naturally has to listen to what his own people have to say.
Chu Yanlan took a few steps forward, walked to Chu He's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. While listening, Chu He's face became more and more heavy, but after reaching the end, he calmed down again.
"Wanqing, even you don't believe me?" After being silent for a long time, Chu He did not make any excuses, but looked at Xu Wanqing fixedly.
Xu Wanqing was a little flustered by him, but she still forced herself to calm down: "I only believe what I saw, your knife was broken in the mouth of that silver wolf." ”
"Huh!"
As soon as Xu Wanqing's words fell, Chu He didn't say a word, and directly pulled out the long knife from the Sumeru bag, which was the saber of the fourth young master of Chu - Cutting Stone.
Chu He's movements were so neat and neat that everyone was stunned for a moment.
Even Chu He himself didn't expect that this incident he did not only attract a large number of boring gossip monks, but also attracted two Jindan real people to come to watch.
"Brother Xu, this doesn't seem to be that simple. ”
Above the distant clouds, there were two Daoists stopping, but at this time, a green-robed Daoist smiled and spoke.
The person he called Brother Xu was a middle-aged man with a dignified face. The green-robed Taoist greeted him with a smile, but he said lukewarmly: "Senior Brother Lin doesn't need to say much. Xu is not blind, if he is really not that kid, naturally there is no reason to kill innocents indiscriminately. ”
The middle-aged man's tone was indifferent, but the green-robed man didn't take it to heart. He knew that the other party almost lost a daughter, and it was normal for him to be angry and have a bad attitude.
That's right, one of these two people is Xu Wanqing's biological father, and the other is Lin Yuxiao, the only real person with a foreign surname in Tianji Peak, known as the "Heavenly Demon Sword".
When the two Jindan real people communicated, the situation below changed a little.
Chu He's sudden action of drawing his knife stunned everyone, but there was one person who would not be really surprised. This person is naturally Ye Xin, because she has long known about it.
"In half a year, who knows if you have created another knife?"
In the silence, Ye Xin let out a strange cry and pointed the finger at Chu He again. The knife that the sword spirit had just transformed was very easy to imitate, and Ye Xin herself did exactly that, of course she could think of this.
Chu He turned his head to look at Ye Xin, his expression gradually became indifferent, as if he had been completely enraged, and said in a cold voice: "Then how do you want me to prove it?"
Although Ye Xin said that she was scheming, after all, she was just a girl, and she was not really ruthless, and she was still a little weak in the face of the "bitter master who was miserable by her", but she didn't dare to speak at this time.
At the critical moment, Xu Ying spoke again: "I heard that the stone chopping knife came from the hand of Yang Feng, a famous craftsman in Yunzhou, and Master Yang has always had the habit of refining it with painstaking efforts......"
Xu Ying's voice became smaller and quieter, and she couldn't hear it anymore when she reached the end, but everyone understood what she meant.
The so-called painstaking refining is a special technique when refining weapons. The weapon refined by this method is full of spirituality, if the master dies in battle with the weapon, the weapon will also die, and may even turn into a fierce spirit to avenge the master.
But if the master abandons the weapon and takes the initiative to throw away or even destroy the weapon, then the spirit will backfire and form a resentful spirit in the master, and it will no longer be recognized by the same kind of soldier.
Of course, it is impossible to ask Chu He for his life, Xu Ying's meaning is to ask Chu He to destroy himself and cut stones, so that he can prove his innocence.
After all, the painstaking refining weapon is protracted, and it is not possible to complete it in half a year at all, and it is impossible for Chu He to prepare another stone chopping knife in advance.
Everyone's attention was once again focused on Chu He, even the two people on the clouds, staring intently at our Fourth Young Master Chu.
Among them, the most apprehensive is naturally Ye Xin. She didn't know that there was no such thing as Lu Dao and the Heart Blood Refining, and she could only hope now that Chu He didn't have so much courage and didn't dare to destroy his future.
Of course, Ye Xin would not have thought that Chu He's face was solemn now, but his heart was full of comfort.
I didn't expect that Ye Xin, who I was waiting for, didn't come in handy at all, but this Xu Ying girl was so sensible and fully cooperated with herself, and she must be "thanked" to her in the future......
Of course, Chu He couldn't be clearer about the matter of the painstaking refining weapon, because this knife was formed by the scholar.
Back then, the real Chu He was attacked and died, and the stone was completely preserved, and in the past six months, he had already let the stone confess to the master again. Even if Xu Ying didn't speak, he would take the initiative to propose this method of self-proof.
Now that someone else is saying it, it is naturally more credible, and it also makes the whole thing more pathetic.
"Okay!" After a long time, Chu He suddenly snorted lightly, and said with a smile, "I am not afraid of what Qianfu pointed out, but it is absolutely impossible to make Wanqing feel resentful!
When the words fell, Chu He's movements were a little slow, but he didn't do it immediately. He was waiting for these colleagues to start a joke when they didn't think it was a big deal.
However, the next moment, he saw Xu Wanqing's expression change slightly, as if he was about to open his mouth to stop it, so startled that he hurriedly slashed the stone chopping knife down, and as soon as the true qi in his body moved, he was about to shake the blade into two parts.
Just kidding, if he was stopped by Xu Wanqing, wouldn't his careful calculations all be in vain?
To tell the truth, although there were many monks on the continent, the scene of the resentful spirit devouring the Lord was not something that anyone could see, and everyone's eyes widened suddenly.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the stone chopping knife fell on the ground of the bluestone slab, splitting it into a splash of rubble, and the blade was also shaken lightly by the true qi poured into Chu He.
Any fortress can collapse from the inside, in a form that is far more relaxed than an external attack.
Just listened to the sound of "pop", and the stone chopping stone, which was more like stone than metal, was shocked into two sections by Chu He's true anger. The half-cut blade that had been broken actually shook slightly at this time, and let out a terrible howl. A black mist that was visible to the naked eye came out and swept towards Chu He quickly.
This resentful spirit was transformed by Yang Feng's painstaking efforts, and it was invisible and invisible, even Jin Dan Zhenren could not stop it, so he could only watch it hit Chu He.
Ye Xin raised his hand and blocked his sight, as if he couldn't bear to look at the next picture. Only Chu He and herself understood that this was not the case at all.
How could Chu He, such a proud and stubborn person, destroy the stone by himself like this! Ye Xin kept roaring in his heart.
Ye Xin, who was stunned and angry, didn't notice that a smile appeared on the corner of Chu He's mouth, and he glanced at her side without a trace, but quickly regained his composure.
Truth!
Chu He looked calm, looked at the noisy people in front of him, and forcibly suppressed a trace of joy in his heart. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, his eyes fell entirely on Xu Wanqing.
Xu Ying was even more at a loss. Facts have proved that Chu He is completely innocent, so her previous series of actions have become a bullying shrew.
What's more, her behavior made Chu He self-destruct his future, which made the kind-hearted little girl feel guilty from the bottom of her heart.
Of course, the one who doesn't know what to do now, I'm afraid it's Xu Wanqing herself. She regretted that she had already sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't speak immediately.
"Senior Brother Lin, the Xu family will definitely give Chu Xiaoyou an explanation. ”
Above the clouds, Xu Rulong's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally he bowed his hand to Lin Yuxiao, and after leaving this sentence, he turned around and was about to leave.
Lin Yuxiao looked at each other indifferently. Chu He is half of his own family, and at this time, the truth is revealed, and he is also a little relieved in his heart. If the nephews really did that kind of thing, the entire Tianji Peak would have a dull face.
However, just as Xu Rulong turned around, a clear and confident voice sounded.
"Chu He madman, half a year has come, do you want to be the shrunken turtle and the man who breaks his word?"
Ye Chen's chic and elegant figure slowly fell, and he sneered at Chu He, who was stunned again, but he did not enjoy everyone's appreciative gaze as expected.
Xu Wanqing's mouth opened slightly, looking at Ye Chen, who was still and motionless, her brain seemed to have crashed all of a sudden, and there was only such a voice left in her heart: "Who is going to harm me......"
Ye Xin, who kept getting bad news, had an extremely ugly face, and at this time, he wanted to spurt out a mouthful of old blood and wipe it on Ye Chen's face, so that others could not see who it was.
Chu Yanlan was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but snort: "Okay!
Tianji Peak fell silent for a while, and everyone's eyes changed repeatedly between Ye Chen and Xu Wanqing, as if they wanted to see the two of them into a flower.
Above the Celestial Dome.
"Xu Rulong!" Lin Yuxiao, who was in the green robe, had a cold face, reflexively stopped in front of Xu Rulong, and said coldly, "It's just a matter of doubt, that girl took advantage of the situation to abolish Chu He, it turned out to be to curry favor with Ye Chen...... Do you still want to be cheeky in the Xu family?"
