The two of them stayed at the hotel. Lu Xiaohua was worried that Xu Shaofeng would not use her money, and offered to continue working in the store. Xu Shaofeng only nodded and did not express any objection.

Lu Xiaohua went to talk to the shopkeeper again.

Xu felt that the two of them were capable, and the shopkeeper was very good at talking this time, including food and accommodation, and a good salary, but it was required to work for at least ten days. Lu Xiaohua thought that Xu Shaofeng was injured and needed to recuperate, so she agreed to come down without permission.

After coming back, she told Xu Shaofeng. He nodded and didn't say anything more.

Although he said that he was not angry with her, Lu Xiaohua felt that his attitude was different from the past. He had become reticent again, and when she spoke to him, he mostly nodded in agreement, and rarely uttered words.

Lu Xiaohua was uneasy because of this, and since this meeting, he had never smiled at her again. He's still mad at her after all, isn't he? After all, she had said such excessive things.

An indescribable strange atmosphere permeated the two of them, both of them cautiously, as if avoiding something.

Or should he apologize properly. Lu Xiaohua secretly made up his mind, but he had already said that he would not be angry, and it seemed very strange to apologize again. But I really want to see his smile again. What can I do to go back to the way things were?

For several days, Lu Xiaohua has been thinking about this question.

On this day, she helped to deliver food to the guests, and suddenly she had an idea in mind.

By the way, before he left last time, he liked to eat the medicinal porridge he made. The porridge was a medicinal meal prescribed by Mo Xiaoyu, and he remembered the ingredients and dispensing in it clearly. Do it for him again, and he'll be happy.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaohua smiled happily. After delivering the meal, she ran to ask Aunt Zhang for leave, then took the money from the house, and planned to go to the street to buy ingredients and dispense medicine.

Well, make a big pot of fragrant fragrance and let him eat to his heart's content! Lu Xiaohua walked briskly, feeling like a bird flying in the sky.

As soon as I walked out of the inn, I suddenly heard a deep voice from behind: "Where are you going?"

Lu Xiaohua was taken aback, turned her head to look, and saw Xu Shaofeng following not far away. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was a little displeased.

"Ah, I want to go out and buy something. Lu Xiaohua was flustered in her heart, fiddling with the corners of her clothes uneasily. Oh no, he found out! I want to surprise him.

Xu Shaofeng looked at her fingers, his brows loosened, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "It's time for you to buy a decent new dress." ”

New clothes? Lu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment and looked at the clothes on her body. This blue dress was originally Aunt Zhang's. She said that she was too old to wear such flowery clothes, so she gave them to herself. It's a little fat, and the sleeves have grown, but this dress is brand new!

But since he said so, Lu Xiaohua followed his words and said, "Yes, yes." I just want to go out on the street and buy a new dress. After saying that, she stuck out her tongue in her heart, and in order to surprise him, she would lie to him once.

"I'll go with you. Xu Shaofeng said without refusal.

"Huh? Okay...... All right. ”

Lu Xiaohua walked down the street in a trance, feeling a little depressed. He must come with him, and he cannot surprise him.

After walking for a while, Xu Shaofeng suddenly grabbed her.

Lu Xiaohua looked up puzzled. But I saw him pointing to a shop on the side of the road and said, "Clothing store." ”

Lu Xiaohua's eyes widened suddenly: This store knows that the price is very expensive at a glance!

She just wanted to shake her head, "That's it." Xu Shaofeng pulled her up and walked in without saying anything.

The store was full of dazzling colors, the female shopkeeper received her attentively, and the beautiful dresses were presented in front of Lu Xiaohua one after another, which made her eyes straight. She can't afford this, this, or this!

"This one is good, you can try it. Xu Shaofeng picked out a long dress from many clothes and handed it to her.

Lu Xiaohua saw that this was a pleated long skirt with foundation and white flowers, and the workmanship and selection of materials were all first-class. She just wanted to shake her head, but found that his eyes were shining with stars as he looked at her, as if there was a faint expectation in them. As soon as her heart moved, just try it, anyway, it doesn't matter.

Taking her clothes, she went into the back room and put them on carefully.

After a while, a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth appeared in the mirror. Her pretty eyes are crooked, her smile is full, and a long skirt that drags the floor sets off her slender figure, like a peach blossom blooming, trembling branches, indescribably vivid and lively.

"Oh, what kind of clothes to match someone. This dress is so worthy of you! I don't think you wear that blue dress, just wear this and go. The shopkeeper praised her vigorously.

It's really beautiful! Lu Xiaohua quietly stuck out her tongue at the person in the mirror.

Walking out of the house and seeing Xu Shao looking at her, she smiled lightly and opened her hands and turned around lightly. The skirt then spirals up like a flower.

"That's it. Xu Shaofeng's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his eyes.

The shopkeeper praised him loudly for his discernment, and quoted the price of the clothes.

Lu Xiaohua smiled slightly, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it." ”

Xu Shaofeng was silent, glanced at her, and chose another goose-yellow short skirt with broken beads.

The shopkeeper quoted the price again and stated that it was the lowest price.

"That's too expensive, I still can't afford it. Lu Xiaohua's head shook like a rattle.

"Girl, you're too good at bargaining. The female shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "I quoted almost the purchase price of this dress." ”

"It's both. Xu Shaofeng indifferently took out the silver taels from his arms and handed them over to the female shopkeeper.

Lu Xiaohua looked at him in surprise, and was pulled out of the store by him for a long time before he came back to his senses, "Where did you get the money?"

"I borrowed it from the shopkeeper. ”

"Will the shopkeeper lend you money?"

Xu Shaofeng let out a "hmm", as if he had seen something, and his eyes suddenly sank.

"Why is he willing to lend it to you?" Lu Xiaohua asked again in confusion.

"That inn is my Kunlun property, and there is a sign written on the door. Xu Shaofeng responded casually, his back straightened, and his hand was on the hilt of the sword.

"Oh, I see. Lu Xiaohua nodded.

But, something seems to be wrong. She was just about to ask a question, but Xu Shaofeng pulled her up violently and walked briskly along the street.

"Don't look back!" he said in a very low voice, tensing all over.

Feeling the cold air emanating from his body, Lu Xiaohua's heart suddenly hung in the air. Resisting the urge to turn back, she followed him close without saying a word.

Avoiding pedestrians and crossing the bustling main street, Xu Shaofeng led her into a secluded alley.

The alley is so narrow that only two people can pass side by side. He pulled her behind him, stood against the wall, took a deep breath, and gathered all the cold from his body.

Lu Xiaohua learned from him to stand sideways against the wall, but couldn't help but poke out a small head from his chest curiously, and peeked at the entrance of the alley.

After a short time, I saw a group of Jianghu people with swords in their hands, hurrying through the alley with a fierce momentum. The person at the head is none other than Ma Chengji!

Lu Xiaohua was horrified, and hurriedly shrank her head and stood up.

After a while, Xu Shaofeng motioned for her to hide, while he himself cautiously looked out. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he took Lu Xiaohua out of the alley.

Lu Xiaohua's heart was beating uneasily, and Zhang Qihai's curse before his death suddenly came to mind. How could she have forgotten that since she had sworn to join the Wanshe Sect, those people would definitely not let her go!

"Don't be afraid, I'll always be there for you. As if sensing her panic, Xu Shaofeng turned his head to look at him and comforted him softly.

Lu Xiaohua let out an absent-minded "um" and looked to the side with flickering eyes. Her affairs are not solved by him alone, how can we not implicate him?

"What are you thinking? You promised me not to slip away from me again!"

The cold air around her body was cold, and Lu Xiaohua couldn't help but look up, only to see Xu Shaofeng's face like ice, and the sharp edge in his black eyes flashed, as if there were angry waves.

Lu Xiaohua was startled, and indescribable emotions rolled through her heart. Lowering her head, she caught a glimpse of his hand gripping the hilt of the sword tightly, and the muscles on his hand bulging.

Maybe I'm not strong enough to protect you, but I'll do my best to protect you. Promise me not to slip away from me.

Suddenly remembering what he said, Lu Xiaohua's heart seemed to be stabbed by an invisible ice pick.

He said that he was not angry with her, but at himself...... She suddenly understood the meaning of the words.

His heart for her never changed, but she was always suspicious of him and avoided him.

"I'm not leaving!" she said firmly, raising her eyes. This time, she wanted to believe him and not run away. Whatever happens, face it with him.

Xu Shaofeng's dark eyes suddenly lit up, like a meteor piercing the night, and the spring breeze blew through the ice lake.

"You're not leaving!" a man walked from the opposite side.

Lu Xiaohua was stunned. Behind him, there were more than a dozen thugs eyeing him.

Xu Shaofeng's expression suddenly cooled, and he immediately pulled her up and walked in the opposite direction.

However, the two did not take a few steps, and a group of people poured out of Hulala at the other end of the street, but it was Ma Chengji who led people back.

Xu Shaofeng protected Lu Xiaohua behind him, "choked", and the cold sword was unsheathed.

"Senior Sister Mo, let's meet again. Jiang Tao walked slowly in front of Lu Xiaohua and stared at her deadly, "Since you have sworn to join the sect, you should know the consequences of violating your oath, so go back with us." ”

Lu Xiaohua's heart palpitated, but she still bravely said loudly: "I have already reported to your hall master, I am not a child of Kunlun, nor Mo Xiaoyu, just an ordinary girl in the mountains, it is useless for you to catch me back." ”

"Are you all ignorant children?" Jiang Tao sneered, disappreroving, "If you are just a girl in the mountains, why is the 'Cold Sword' so protective." ”

He looked at Xu Shaofeng and said in a deep voice: "'Han Jian', I advise you to stop worrying about this matter! Now that she has switched to my sect, she is no longer a member of your sect. ”

"I won't let her go with you!" Xu Shaofeng raised the cold sword in his hand.

Jiang Tao sneered again, "She has been with us for many days, participated in the robbery of darts, and I heard that she also slaughtered officers and soldiers with the hall master later. If she is caught by officers and soldiers, she will be punished as a robber. Do you think you can protect her?"

When Lu Xiaohua heard this, she felt sad in her heart: she had obviously not done anything, but he said that she was a robber.

She just wanted to defend herself, but she heard Xu Shaofeng say in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I will never let her go with you!"

Jiang Tao still wants to persuade again. Ma Chengji sneered and strode forward, "Why bother talking to this kid, I still have an old account to settle with him, and it will be settled together today!" As he spoke, he pulled out his saber and attacked Xu Shaofeng. His men drew their swords and rushed forward.

Xu Shaofeng raised his sword to block, shook him away with a sword, and pulled Lu Xiaohua into the alley in a hurry.

The mouth of the alley is narrow, his sword dance is like lightning, if the silver dragon swirls in the air, although the enemy is numerous, he can't get close. Ma Chengji's knife technique opened and closed widely, and he almost injured his own people by mistake.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat. He stood aside and swept the formation for Ma Chengji, and persuaded Xu Shaofeng: "You don't have to be like this 'Cold Sword'. Since Senior Sister Mo has joined this sect, she is a member of this sect, and her safety is the responsibility of her own sect. ”

Xu Shaofeng was silent, and what answered him was the Sen Han sword intent that could be clearly perceived several zhang away.

Jiang Tao frowned and waved his hand, ordered his subordinates to take a few more steps back, and continued to persuade: "You should have heard of the 'Cold Sword', the next martial arts alliance master competition is about to be held. The royal family came forward at this conference, and the prince took the lead, just to divide and suppress us and other people who disobey the discipline of the government. If we are still fighting each other at this time, will we not fall for their tricks? ”

"I have nothing to say to the scum of the rivers and lakes who killed the old and the young, women and children!" The sword light shone, and Xu Shaofeng defused Ma Chengji's fierce attack with one move, and said coldly.

"Since you are so obsessed, don't blame me for not talking about the morality of the rivers and lakes!" Jiang Tao's face sank, he drew his saber and stepped forward slowly.

He had already seen that although Ma Chengji's sword was fierce, it could not exert its true strength because it was a saber. On the other hand, Xu Shaofeng's swordsmanship is smart, and he is gradually gaining the upper hand in the alley.

Xu Shaofeng has been keeping an eye on his movements. Seeing him step forward, the chill in his whole body suddenly exploded. A thick white frost spread out in front of Jiang and Ma.

"Hurry back!" Jiang Tao's face changed, and he shouted urgently, "It's the sword formation 'Manhua Frost Concealment'!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw that in the frost and mist, dozens of ice arrows flew out with a sharp roar.

"Whoosh, swish", the ice arrows came straight to Ma Cheng from different directions!

Ma Chengji was reminded by Jiang Tao, took a step back in advance, and picked up his saber to protect himself.

After the frost, Xu Shaofeng and Lu Xiaohua both disappeared.

"I didn't expect that the 'Cold Sword' actually learned the swordsmanship of the 'Frost Sky Sword' Wen Haowu, it seems that the battle of Guming has benefited him a lot. Jiang Tao couldn't help but sigh.

"No matter how strong his skills are, he can't escape from our palms!" Ma Chengji was shocked, but he said fiercely, "This sword should be used by him with all his might, and it is not easy for me to dodge." I'm going to see how he fights me again!"

"Chase!" the two joined forces and chased deep into the alley.
