When a balance is broken, a new balance is created again. Most people don't look at the process of going through this balance, they only care about the result, of course everyone will see the result, and who cares about the process? But the joy of life is not the process of going through.

In an inconspicuous small shop in the east of Luohua Town, it is much more deserted than the store with a constant flow of people in front of the door. This restaurant was originally a restaurant, but it was a lunch spot, and there was not a single customer in the restaurant.

The owner of the store is a stooping old man, he is the only one inside and outside the store, there is no customer in the store, he is not in a hurry at all, pacing around the store, sometimes looking up to see the endless flow of people outside.

At this moment, a gentleman in a green robe walked in from outside the store, and he walked to a table in the corner and sat down.

The gentleman in the green robe did not greet the shopkeeper, he just sat quietly.

The shopkeeper slowly walked in front of Mr. Tsing Yi and Robe, and instead of asking what the guests needed, he asked in a low voice, "Has Peach Blossom Villa started to act?"

The gentleman in the green robe did not answer his question, but said with a smile: "Li Yixiu, who has tasted all the food in the world, why did he open a restaurant by himself, and why would there be no customers in the store?"

The owner said: "Of course, the dishes I cook are unparalleled in the world, but there are a few people who are qualified to eat them." They are not qualified to eat, and inevitably my hand will not listen to the call, either put something less or put something more. ”

The gentleman in the green robe said with a smile: "If you can eat the dishes that the Ghost Venerable personally stir-fried, even if you put poison, you have to eat it." ”

The shopkeeper said, "You're here to make fun of me this time?"

The gentleman in the green robe said: "Peach Blossom Villa does have some moves, and the Peach Blossom Lady proposed to let her disciple Chen Shuo come to investigate the movements of the Sima family, but she also put forward one condition. ”

The shopkeeper said, "What conditions?"

The gentleman in the green robe said: "If Chen Shuo completes this, the Peach Blossom Lady will let her disciples Chen Shuo and Zhao Xiaoxue leave the Xiaoyao Sect." ”

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and said: "What's wrong with the Twelve Golden Immortals recently, in order to send Gao Mochen back to the Xiaoyao Sect, the three demons who picked him up are all dead, and now the Peach Blossom Lady dares to make conditions to the Xiaoyao Sect." ”

The gentleman in the green robe said, "Then what should we do?"

The shopkeeper said: "If that disciple can't go back to Peach Blossom Villa, what the Peach Blossom Lady says will become empty talk." Who does the Peach Blossom Lady think she is? ”

The gentleman in the green robe said, "Then who will do this?"

The shopkeeper said, "How to execute it depends on your Soul Venerable." ”

The gentleman in the green shirt and robe smiled strangely and said: "Borrowing a knife to kill people is really good at this time, there is a peach blossom lady to urge Dugu Yu, and it is difficult for Dugu Yu not to move." ”

The undercurrent of the rivers and lakes that are calm on the surface is surging, and everyone knows it, but now this surface calm has been broken.

What broke this peace in the rivers and lakes was the death of Chen Shuo, a disciple of the Peach Blossom Lady of Peach Blossom Villa, who died on the outskirts of the Sima family. Although Chen Shuo has no fame in the rivers and lakes, he is the most valued disciple of the Peach Blossom Lady of Peach Blossom Villa, which makes Chen Shuo's death not so simple.

At this moment, Chen Shuo's body was placed in the courtyard of Peach Blossom Villa, and the masters of the Xiaoyao Sect led by Dugu Yu had arrived.

For Chen Shuo's death, there is no doubt that the most painful and sad is Zhao Xiaoxue, the disciple of the Peach Blossom Lady of Peach Blossom Villa.

Zhao Xiaoxue knelt down in front of the Peach Blossom Lady and cried bitterly: "Master, Senior Brother died so miserably, who killed Senior Brother? We must avenge Senior Brother." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady had no expression, and the pain in her heart was no less than that of Zhao Xiaoxue. The Peach Blossom Lady said slowly: "You go down first, I will definitely find out the murderer who killed Chen Shuo and avenge him." ”

Zhao Xiaoxue looked at Dugu Yu and a few people, so she could only leave.

Feng Cheng said: "What do you think about this matter?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said coldly: "Chen Shuo is my disciple, he is now dying for the Xiaoyao Sect, I must avenge him, no matter who killed him." ”

Feng Cheng said: "How does the Peach Blossom Lady want to find out who killed Chen Shuo?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "Since Chen Shuo died near the Sima family, it must have been done by the disciples of the Sima family." As far as I know, the Ghost Venerable is near Sima Shi's house, and as long as I ask the Ghost Venerable, I believe he will be able to tell me the answer. ”

Dugu Yu snorted coldly and said: "Peach Blossom Lady, how noble the identity of the Ghost Venerable, you asked him to inquire about how an ordinary disciple died, it's really a big joke." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "I don't care, as long as the Ghost Venerable tells me the murderer, he can do whatever he wants with me." ”

Mo Jingyi said: "For the sake of a disciple, it is inevitable that there will be too much fighting." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said with a little excitement: "Chen Shuo is just an inconspicuous little disciple in your eyes, but in my eyes, I am a child who has watched him grow up since childhood, and I must avenge his revenge." ”

Dugu Yu said slowly: "I have already seen Cheng Shuo's corpse just now, there is only one wound on his body, as far as I know, he was killed by a shot by the Sima family's vertical and horizontal gun." In the Sima family, there are only thirty or fifty people who can achieve this skill, but only three or five people can reach such a subtle level. ”

Feng Cheng said: "Who are these three or five people that the four protectors are talking about?"

Dugu Yu said: "Sima Kong, the head of the Sima family, Sima Xuanyuan, the great elder of the Sima family, and Sima Ke, who is known as the first master of the Sima family, and then Sima Yan and Sima Zongheng, who are among the two phoenixes and nine dragons. ”

Feng Cheng said: "They are not only the masters of the Sima family, but also a terrifying existence in the entire rivers and lakes. Who do the Four Protectors think will be the murderer of Chen Shuo?"

Dugu Yu said: "After the incident of the Broken Soul Cliff seven years ago, Sima Ke disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and there is no news of him again. In addition, Sima Yan is not in the Sima family all the year round, and Sima Kong, as the head of the Sima family, cannot personally do anything to a little disciple. ”

Feng Cheng said: "Then there are only Sima Xuanyuan and Sima Zongheng?"

Dugu Yu said coldly: "A little disciple is really not worth any of them, and I am also very puzzled how Chen Shuo can be worthy of such a master to make a move against him." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "I will personally investigate the murderer who killed Chen Shuo, and I hope that the four protectors will be able to take action against the Sima family at that time." ”

Dugu Yu said: "The Xiaoyao Sect doesn't have much energy to avenge a little disciple. ”

Dugu Yu turned around and left, and Feng Cheng followed.

Mo Jingyi sighed and said, "It's better to make few big moves at this time. ”

Mo Jingyi also left, and the Peach Blossom Lady faced Chen Shuo's corpse and said, "Shuo'er, as a teacher, I must avenge you." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady left the Peach Blossom Villa alone, she walked out along the avenue not far away, there was a tavern on the side of the empty road, and the Peach Blossom Lady walked in.

There were three or five tables in the tavern, and only two tables had guests.

The Peach Blossom Lady glanced around and walked straight towards the table where a man in a green shirt sat in the corner.

The Peach Blossom Lady sat opposite the Tsing Yi man, who was pouring himself a drink, and did not look up at the Peach Blossom Lady, but said slowly: "Is there something wrong?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "My subordinates want to ask the Soul Venerable to help me check one thing." ”

Qingyi said: "The murderer who killed Chen Shuo?"

The Peach Blossom Lady was surprised: "How do you know?"

Qingshan said: "It seems that the only thing that has something to do with you recently is Chen Shuo." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "Soul Venerable, you know that Chen Shuo was raised by watching him since I was a child, and I always have to avenge him when he is killed." ”

The Tsing Shirt Soul Venerable said, "I can tell you who killed Chen Shuo, but you must not forget that you are a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, and now no one can waste the energy of the Xiaoyao Sect to do anything else." If this matter is known to the Great Dharma Protector and the Ghost Venerable, you will know the consequences. ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "I know it's wrong for me to do this, but I can't help but avenge Chen Shuo." ”

The Soul Venerable said slowly: "The person who killed Chen Shuo is Sima Zongheng of the Sima family. ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "Sima Zongheng!"

Soul Venerable said: "Don't try to find Sima Zongheng for revenge, you are not her opponent, your task now is to let Dugu Yu do something to the Sima family, and your revenge will naturally be avenged." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "I know what I should do, thank you Soul Venerable for telling me about the murderer of Chen Shuo." ”

Soul Venerable said: "To deal with the four great families, the Great Protector has been waiting for seven years, and no one can stop this matter, this time the Great Protector doesn't know why he asked Dugu Yu to do this." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "I believe that this time the Four Protectors will do something to the Sima family." ”

The Soul Venerable said, "Then I'll wait for good news." ”

Back at Peach Blossom Villa, the Peach Blossom Lady came straight to Dugu Yu.

Dugu Yu frowned when he saw the appearance of the Peach Blossom Lady, and said, "Is there anything wrong with the Peach Blossom Lady?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "I came to find the Four Protectors, but I just told the Four Protectors that I had found the murderer who killed Chen Shuo. ”

Dugu Yu was slightly surprised and said, "How did you find out?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "I naturally have my own way, so I don't need to worry about the four protectors." ”

Dugu Yu said: "Who is the murderer?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "Sima Zongheng." ”

Dugu Yu said: "You came to me to tell me who the murderer is?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "Of course not, I hope that the Four Protectors can do something to the Sima family." ”

Dugu Yu snorted coldly and said, "The Peach Blossom Lady is so active, just to avenge a little disciple." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "Four Protectors, you should know what you came to Peach Blossom Villa for?"

Dugu Yu said: "Of course I know that I haven't made a move on the Sima family for a long time, I'm just waiting." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said, "What are you waiting for?"

Dugu Yu said: "In a few days or so, the second envoy will arrive, and by that time the Sima family will inevitably be in ruins." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said, "Really?"

Dugu Yu laughed and said: "Naturally, it's true, when the time comes, Sima Zongheng will be handed over to you at your disposal." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady hurriedly said: "Thank you for the four protectors." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady and Dugu Yu were talking in the house, but they were heard by Zhao Xiaoxue, who passed by outside the house. Zhao Xiaoxue learned that the person who killed Cheng Shuo was Sima Zongheng, the son of the Sima family, and already had an idea in her heart, so she turned around and went back to the house to pack up her things and leave Peach Blossom Villa.

If Zhao Xiaoxue wants to leave Peach Blossom Villa, she must go through the Peach Blossom Forest. If you want to pass through the peach blossom forest, you have to pass through the peach blossom branches, peach roots, and peach leaves, which are the four major managers of the peach blossom villa.

Peach Blossom saw Zhao Xiaoxue coming, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoxue, I don't know what I want?"

Zhao Xiaoxue said: "Uncle Peach Blossom, I have something important to leave Peach Blossom Villa." ”

Taozhi said: "Miss Xiaoxue, Madame explained that no one can leave Peach Blossom Villa without her permission. ”

Zhao Xiaoxue shouted: "Isn't it okay to avenge my senior brother?"

Peach Blossom Branches, Peach Roots, and Peach Leaves looked at each other, and Peach Blossom said, "The girl knows who killed Cheng Shuo?"

Zhao Xiaoxue's face showed anger and said: "It was Sima Zongheng, the thief of the Sima family, who killed the senior brother. ”

Peach Blossom said: "It turned out to be Sima Zongheng, the evil thief, and Cheng Shuo treated me a lot." The girl insists on going, so let the peach root and peach branch follow you, and I will do my best. ”

Zhao Xiaoxue is in a dilemma, I'm afraid that the four housekeepers won't let her leave, and I never thought that they would have to help.

Zhao Xiaoxue was overjoyed, she thanked the four of them at that time, and with the help of peach branches and peach roots, there were too many opportunities.

On this day, the three of them were already approaching Sima Shi's house, and suddenly more than a dozen horses galloped past them.

These people are all dressed as martial arts people, led by a young man, after Zhao Xiaoxue, a few people around him don't know whether they glanced at Zhao Xiaoxue intentionally or unintentionally, and in the blink of an eye, these dozen people were no longer visible.

Taozhi said: "This is the territory of the Sima family, and the thief who can appear here must be the thief of the Sima family, and the person just now must be a disciple of the Sima family." ”

Zhao Xiaoxue said: "Since I have come to the Sima family, no matter how good Sima Zongheng is, I will lose my life, and I must avenge my senior brother." ”

Suddenly a figure flashed in front of them, and a man in a green shirt appeared, this person did not speak, staring at the three people intently.

Zhao Xiaoxue shouted: "Who are you?"

The green-shirted man snorted coldly and muttered, "I can't let these waste disciples of the Peach Blossom Lady ruin the plan of the Great Dharma Protector. ”

The man in the green shirt suddenly made a move, and there was an extra dagger in his hand, which slashed through the throat of the peach branch and peach leaf, and the peach branch and peach root fell to the ground in an instant, and never moved again.

The man in the green shirt slowly walked towards Zhao Xiaoxue, Zhao Xiaoxue drew his sword out of the sheath and said, "Thief, I fought with you." ”

Suddenly, a strong wind came towards the green-shirted man, and the green-shirted man shook and flashed out. Although the man in the green shirt was fast, the clothes on his shoulders were still torn.

The man in the green shirt stood still and shouted angrily, "What person?"

In front of the man in green shirts stood a young man, holding a gun the thickness of a bowl in his hand, and was watching the man in green shirts.

The young man said: "If you dare to come to the Sima family's territory to make trouble, you have to see if the gun in my hand agrees." ”

Qingshan said: "It turned out to be a disciple of the Sima family, there are only a few people in the Sima family who can force me back with one shot, and there are only two people at your age, are you Sima Yan or Sima Zongheng?"

The young man said: "You still have some vision, I am Sima Zongheng of the Sima family." ”

Tsing Yi said: "I have heard of the name of the prince for a long time. ”

Sima Zongheng said: "Who are you?"

Qingshan said: "Why did the prince ask me who I was, I killed the people of Peach Blossom Villa, I didn't expect that the disciples of the Sima family would also save the people of Peach Blossom Villa, I'm afraid anyone who hears it will not believe it." ”

Zhao Xiaoxue took advantage of Sima Zongheng to force the green-shirted man back, and when the two of them were talking, they had already quietly left.

Sima Zongheng said coldly: "Although they are disciples of Peach Blossom Villa, I have only heard of one person who can cut their throats and kill them with one move, and that is Ning Shu, the Soul Venerable of the Xiaoyao Sect. ”

The man in the green shirt smiled slightly and said, "The son of Zongheng really has good eyesight." ”

Sima Zongheng said: "I am fortunate to be able to meet the Soul Venerable today, so let me learn a thing or two." ”

Sima Zongheng had already made a move, and in the face of the Soul Venerable, as soon as he made a move, it was a killing move, and the entire air was filled with murderous aura.

The Soul Venerable moved at the same time, and the dagger in his hand slashed at Sima Zongheng's throat like lightning, and in front of the dagger were countless gun shadows, rising from Sima Zongheng's front and enveloping the Soul Venerable at the same time.

Soul Venerable Ning Shu could only retreat again and again, his body flickering and moving in the shadow of the spear.

The Soul Venerable smiled and said, "Master Zongheng, I won't play with you today, we'll meet another day." ”

The Soul Venerable leaped out of the shadow of the spear, and a few jumps had disappeared into the trees.

Zhao Xiaoxue ran wildly into the woods all the way, for fear that the Soul Venerable or Sima Zongheng would catch up with him, and no matter who caught up with him, he would only die.

Just as Zhao Xiaoxue was running, she heard a person: "Girl, is there anything you need help with?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was startled, stopped, held the hilt of the sword in her hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Who is it?"

A person floated in front of Zhao Xiaoxue, dressed gorgeously, like a rich boy from a family, it was the young man who rode by just now.

The young man said, "Don't be afraid, girl, I have no ill intentions. ”

Zhao Xiaoxue said: "Dare to ask who the son is, why did he appear here?"

The young man smiled and said, "In Xia Sheng Wenlong, the third son of the Fuwei Dart Bureau." ”

Zhao Xiaoxue's heart moved, and said, "It turns out that you are the third son of the Fuwei Dart Bureau." ”

Sheng Wenlong smiled: "It's not worth mentioning, presumably the girl is also a famous martial arts family?"

Zhao Xiaoxue said: "Zhao Xiaoxue, the disciple of the Peach Blossom Lady in the Peach Blossom Villa." ”

Sheng Wenlong was slightly surprised, but then said: "It turns out that the girl is a high disciple of the Peach Blossom Lady, which is really disrespectful." ”

Fuwei Dart Bureau is the most prestigious dart game on the rivers and lakes, the head of the dart Sheng Qiying and Jiangbei Prince Yuan Yuchen are friends, in Jiangbei and even the entire martial arts are famous figures.

Zhao Xiaoxue said: "Third Prince Sheng, are you really willing to help me with anything?"

Sheng Wenlong said: "The girl is so beautiful, how could Sheng Wenlong refute the face of the beauty." ”

Zhao Xiaoxue said: "Even if you kill Sima Zongheng, are you willing?"

Sheng Wenlong was taken aback, he came to Yanchen Villa this time with his wife Sima Jing. Sima Jing is the eldest daughter of Sima Kong of the Sima family, and she specially came to help the Sima family.

Sheng Wenlong went out to inspect with more than a dozen people, and when he came back, he found Zhao Xiaoxue, and was moved by Zhao Xiaoxue's beauty.

Sheng Wenlong smiled and said, "If I really kill Sima Zongheng, how can the girl repay me?"

Zhao Xiaoxue said: "As long as you kill Sima Zongheng, I will meet you whatever conditions you propose." ”

It is already late autumn, and the fallen leaves are blown by the autumn wind and roll on the ground.

When night fell, in the red pine forest not far from the outside of Yanchen Villa, there was a man in black standing in the dark, his eyes looking at the direction of Yanchen Villa. He was waiting, but he was a little anxious now, because he had just received an order from the Great Protector Fu Xiaotian.

This person was none other than the Ghost Venerable Li Yixiu, who was ranked first among the Eight Venerables of the Xiaoyao Sect, that is, the shopkeeper that the Soul Venerable of Falling Flower Town had ever seen.

Li Yixiu was waiting, and a person came from afar, this person's body method was fast, and he had come to Li Yixiu's side in a blink of an eye.

The person who came was wearing a yellow shirt, and when he saw Li Yixiu bowing down, he said, "My subordinates have seen the Ghost Venerable, and Mo Han is too late." ”

Li Yixiu didn't make any moves, just looked at the direction of Yanchen Villa and said coldly: "The Great Protector wants Dugu Yu to act as soon as possible and let the Sima family disappear from the rivers and lakes." But Dugu Yu is not moving now, and the Peach Blossom Lady is actually fighting for a mere disciple. Is the reason why Dugu Yu can be ranked among the four great protectors is because of his great kung fu? It's just that the great protector depends on his identity and his influence, if he can't attack the four great families, then what use do you want him. ”

Li Yixiu's cold words made Mo Han shudder, and said, "Ghost Venerable, what are your plans?"

Li Yixiu said: "In order to cooperate with Dugu Yu's actions, the Great Protector let the Eight Venerables come forward at the same time, but it gave him enough face. The Soul Venerable and I thought that after killing the Venerable was done with this, how could the Peach Blossom Lady force Dugu Yu to start doing something to the Sima family. But Dugu Yu still hasn't acted, I don't think we've done enough. How to break this impasse still needs to be continued. ”

Mo Han said: "Listen to the orders of the Great Venerable." ”

Ghost Venerable Li Yixiu said: "In order to make Dugu Yu come into line, what you have to do now is to force Dugu Yu to attack the Sima family. ”

Mo Han said: "My subordinates understand. ”

Li Yixiu said: "Remember that you are all doing things for the Great Protector, no matter what the price is, let Dugu Yu personally attack the Sima family." ”

Mo Han said: "My subordinates heard that Sheng Wenlong, the third son of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, has arrived at Yanchen Villa. ”

Ghost Venerable Li Yi cultivated: "The Fuwei Dart Bureau is not to worry about, naturally there are Yin Venerable and Sword Venerable to deal with it. ”

Mo Han said: "There is also Sima Kong who wants to marry his youngest daughter to Fang Ze, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to do." ”

Ghost Venerable Li Yi cultivated: "I know about this matter, I will tell the Great Protector." Remember, you have to do your own thing, and you don't have to take care of the rest. ”

Mo Han said: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates retire." ”

The Ghost Venerable waved his hand, and Mo Han left.

Mo Han ranks first among the Nine Demons in the Xiaoyao Sect, and his actions will inevitably make the rivers and lakes stormy.

The rivers and lakes are surging, and the four great families and even the Bamboo Forest Building, Bishui Pavilion, and Luojintai are all staring at Peach Blossom Villa, and they are also watching the movements of Xiaoyao Sect.

Fang Ze had been back to Gu Chenxuan for a while, Fu Yuan, Yang didn't return, He Ying'er and the others had also returned to Gu Chenxuan.

As soon as He Ying'er saw Fang Ze, she said angrily, "Brother Fang, where did you go with that disciple from Zhulinlou?"

Fang Ze smiled and said, "Where can I go, just find an excuse to leave the Sima family, and thank her for borrowing the sword by the way." ”

He Ying'er still said angrily: "To repay the love of borrowing the sword, as for doing that? Actually, I can also play her role." ”

Everyone laughed, and Fang Ze said with a smile: "What a stupid girl." ”

On this day, Pan Xin hurriedly walked in from the outside and bowed his hand to Fang Zeyi: "Brother Fang, Sima Xuanyuan, the great elder of the Sima family outside, asks to see you." ”

Fang Ze was slightly stunned and said, "What is Sima Xuanyuan doing here?" ”

Pan Xin went, and after a while, he walked in with a middle-aged Confucian student, who didn't know and thought it was a teacher, but in fact, he was the most important figure in the Sima family, the great elder Sima Xuanyuan, who was low-key, and was also the most mysterious figure in the Sima family.

Sima Xuanyuan walked in, Fang Ze hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile: "Senior Sima, what do you want to do in person?"

Sima Xuanyuan said with a smile: "Young Master Fang, Sima Xuanyuan was entrusted by the head of the family this time to say hello to the son. ”

Fang Ze said in surprise: "Where does the joy come from, senior, please sit down and speak." ”

Sitting down, Sima Xuanyuan said with a smile: "Young Master Fang, seven years ago, the head of the Gu Chenxuan family proposed to the son, and wanted to marry the second young lady Sima Lingxu to the son. Now that the second lady has already reached the age of marriage, the head of the family asked me to come this time to propose marriage to my son, isn't this a happy event?"

Fang Ze frowned and said, "Let's take a long-term view of this matter." ”

Sima Xuanyuan said with a smile: "I know that Gongzi Fang has never married a wife, and the second young lady Sima Ling and Gongzi happen to be talented and beautiful. The marriage between the son and the second lady must be a good story on the rivers and lakes. ”

Fang Ze said: "I understand the kindness of the Sima family master, but Fang Ze is now entangled in trivial matters, I am afraid that the second miss will be neglected." ”

Sima Xuanyuan smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Fang, Sima Xuanyuan is just here to propose marriage to Gongzi, if something like this, Gongzi should personally talk to the head of the family." The Sima family still had a lot of things to deal with, and Sima Xuanyuan retired first. ”

He Ying'er snorted coldly and said, "Even if Sima Kong wants my eldest brother to help the Sima family, my eldest brother has already agreed, how can he still pay a daughter of the Sima family, it's ridiculous." ”

Fang Ze shouted in a low voice: "Shadow, don't be rude. ”

He Ying'er saw that Fang Ze was really angry, so she hurriedly stepped aside and didn't say anything more.

Fang Ze said: "Great Elder Sima, if Ying'er is not sensible, there is no offense, Fang Ze has apologized here." ”

Sima Xuanyuan smiled and said, "By the way, before I left, the second lady handed me a token and asked me to pass it on to Fang Gongzi." ”

Sima Xuanyuan took out a silver needle from his arms and handed it to Fang Ze.

Sima Xuanyuan said with a smile: "Although the second miss doesn't like to practice martial arts, what she is most proud of is that she can practice a silver needle, and each silver needle has the name of the second miss on it." Gongzi accepted the silver needle, and Sima Xuanyuan went back to make a difference, hoping that Gongzi Fang would not embarrass me. ”

Fang Ze stretched out his hand and took the silver needle, only to see a small word "Ling" engraved on the end of the silver needle. Fang Ze said: "I will accept the silver needle, and trouble the Great Elder to go back and thank the second young lady for me." ”

Sima Xuanyuan left Gu Chenxuan satisfied.

Peach Blossom Villa, Zhao Xiaoxue, a disciple of Peach Blossom Lady, came back, and she pleaded guilty to her master Peach Blossom Lady and informed her that the two managers of Taozhi and Taogen were killed outside Yanchen Villa.

Hearing this news, the Peach Blossom Lady turned to Dugu Yu and said: "Four Protectors, the Sima family has taken action against my Peach Blossom Villa everywhere, hoping that the four protectors can deal with the Sima family." ”

Dugu Yu said coldly: "It's just a few inconsequential characters, don't worry about the Peach Blossom Lady." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady shouted angrily: "Dugu Yu, although you are the fourth protector of the Dharma, what is the reason why you have not done anything to the Sima family for a long time? Now that the people of my Peach Blossom Villa have died one after another at the hands of the Sima family, do you still have to wait, do you want all the people in the Peach Blossom Villa to be killed by the Sima family?"

Dugu Yu said coldly: "Peach Blossom Lady, you are the person who protects the Dharma, I tolerate it everywhere, don't blame me for being unkind if it goes on like this." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "Today I will do something to the Sima family, whoever dares to stop it, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Dugu Yu said coldly: "Peach Blossom Lady, I will stop it today, what can you do?"

The peach blossom lady suddenly raised her hand, and several peach blossoms hit Dugu Yu.

Dugu Yu is so hard, how can he see a few peach blossoms in his eyes, his body moves, several peach blossoms are empty, and he brushes past Dugu Yu.

Dugu Yu was furious and drew his sword out of the sheath.

Feng Cheng hurriedly stopped in front of Dugu Yu and said, "The four protectors are angry, we are all working for the Xiaoyao Sect, why make a fuss." The Sima family is an enemy of my Xiaoyao Sect, and the Great Dharma Protector attaches great importance to this matter, and personally asks the Eight Venerables to fully cooperate with our actions. Feng Cheng also very much hoped that the Four Protectors would make a decision as soon as possible and take action against the Sima family. ”

Dugu Yu sneered: "The interior can't be calmed down, and what do you want to do to destroy the Sima family." ”

With that, the sword was sheathed, and he turned away.

Feng Cheng watched Dugu Yu leave, sighed, looked back at the Peach Blossom Lady, shook his head and said, "What's the trouble?"

The Peach Blossom Lady said: "The people who died are all from my Peach Blossom Villa, and this has nothing to do with you, of course you don't care." ”

Feng Cheng said: "You go back and rest first, it will be a matter of time before you do something to the Sima family." There are eight Venerable Beings who respond from all directions, why worry that the Sima family will not be destroyed, and your revenge will be avenged at that time. ”

The Peach Blossom Lady said viciously: "I can't wait, I'm going to take Sima Zongheng's head to pay tribute to their dead." ”

The Peach Blossom Lady also left with her disciple Zhao Xiaoxue.

Feng Cheng looked around, only Mo Jingyi was still there.

Feng Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "You have to take good care of her, otherwise she will do something that will affect the Great Dharma Protector Plan, but no one will be able to save her." ”

Mo Jingyi said: "I know. ”

Sima Xuanyuan returned to Gu Chenxuan and told Sima Kong, the head of the Sima family, the result of the proposal, Sima Kong's brows tightened, and said, "What does Fang Ze mean by this?"

Sima Xuanyuan said: "I see that Fang Ze's meaning is not completely refused, since he accepted the second young lady's silver needle, there is still hope." ”

Sima Kong nodded and said, "Thanks to your thoughtfulness, I asked Ling'er for a silver needle." ”

Sima Xuanyuan said: "Ling'er doesn't know the use of this silver needle?"

Sima Kong sighed and said, "I didn't tell her, but Ling'er can really marry Fang Ze, so I'm relieved." ”

Recently, the Sima family's Yanchen Villa has become no longer peaceful, the disciples of the Sima family were killed when they went out to run errands, and even Sima Kong's son Sima Zhen was injured, but he didn't know who was injured.

Sima Kong even flew a pigeon to pass a book to Sima Yan, the god of war of the Sima family, and asked Sima Yan to hurry back to Yanchen Villa.

Faced with such an act, Sima Kong, the head of the Sima family, gathered all the masters of the Sima family, and even Sima Kong's youngest daughter Sima Ling arrived.

Sima Kong sat in the middle, Sima Xuanyuan was the first on the left, Sima Xuancong, Sima Xuanwen, and then Sheng Wenlong, Sima Jing, and Sima Ling. In the first place on the right sits the vertical and horizontal son Sima Zongheng, and the following is Sima Feng, Sima Zhen, Sima Tong, and Sima Sheng, Sima Mo, Sima Ying and other young masters.

Sima Kong looked around and said slowly: "Everyone may already know what happened recently, Peach Blossom Villa has been harassed repeatedly, it seems that the Xiaoyao Sect is going to do something to us." ”

Sima Zongheng said: "What about Peach Blossom Villa, the people from Peach Blossom Villa who came to Yanchen Villa to make trouble a few days ago have not died under my gun." I heard that Dugu Yu is now one of the four protectors of the Xiaoyao Sect, sitting in Peach Blossom Villa, eyeing my Sima family. However, just because Dugu Yu wants to move the Sima family, he is not worthy. I think I might as well kill Peach Blossom Villa, kill Dugu Yu, and save trouble. ”

Sima Kong said: "Vertical and horizontal, don't be careless." Don't forget that Dugu Yu is now behind the Xiaoyao Sect, and it is not difficult to move Dugu Yu, but it is not so easy to deal with the Xiaoyao Sect. ”

Sima Xuancong said: "Family master, I think it's better to let me take a group of young people to Peach Blossom Villa, turn him upside down, and it is not impossible to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and also let Wei Wuji Fu Xiaotian know that my four great families are as strong as they were decades ago." ”

Sima Xuanyuan said: "It would be nice if it was so simple, but unfortunately there are many masters in the Xiaoyao Sect, and we don't know the reality of Peach Blossom Villa." Even if any of the Eight Venerable Beings were to stand in front of you and me, we wouldn't know who he was. There's nothing to be afraid of in the open, but we're always on guard in the dark. ”

Sima Kong said: "Xuanyuan is right, let's not act rashly. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, we can't gamble with the fate of the Sima family. ”

Sima Zongheng said: "Family master, what should we do now? Do we have to sit back and wait for death?"

Sima Kong said: "Now as long as Gu Chenxuan is willing to help us, what can a Peach Blossom Villa do, even if the Eight Venerables are here, we will not suffer." ”

Sima Xuanyuan said: "The head of the family, but Fang Ze has not agreed to this marriage, I am always worried. ”

Sima Xuancong said: "What? is he still unwilling to let Ling'er marry him?"

Sima Ling snorted coldly: "What's so great about Fang Ze, I may not be willing to agree if he wants to marry me." ”

Sima Kong loves his youngest daughter Sima Ling the most, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, don't be willful, Fang Gongzi is dignified, not long ago in my Sima family, he also defeated Zongheng." He is the biggest hero in the world, and you can rest assured if you marry his father. ”

Sima Ling blinked, turned his head to Sima Zongheng and said, "Brother Zongheng, is there such a thing?"

Sima Zongheng snorted coldly, without words.

Sima Kong said: "Recently, Yanchen Villa has not been peaceful, so Ling'er should not go outside casually, so as not to be dangerous." ”

Sima Ling said: "Yanchen Villa is so good, we can still be frightened by some demons and monsters, I will meet them later." ”

Sima Kong smiled bitterly, turned his head to Sima Jing and said, "Jing'er, you have to accompany Ling'er more recently." ”

Sima Jing said: "My daughter understands. ”

Sima Ling is a lively and active person, how can he stay honestly in Yanchen Villa.

Sima Ling had the heart to go out to play, and set his eyes on Sima Mo, the young disciple of the Sima family.

The reason why Sima Ling is eyeing Sima Mo is because Sima Mo is responsible for the protection of Sima Shi's Yanchen Villa, and if he wants to leave Yanchen Villa, he must go through Sima Mo.

Sima Ling came to see Sima Mo, and Sima Mo saw Sima Ling come to find him, which was very strange.

Sima Ling smiled and said, "Brother Mo, you've been working hard lately. ”

Sima Mo was a person who did not smile, and said, "Is there anything wrong with the second young lady coming today?"

Sima Ling originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing Sima Mo's appearance, it was useless to say anything else, and said, "Brother Mo, then I'll get straight to the point." It's been a long time since I've left Yanchen Villa, and I want to go out for a walk. ”

Sima Mo said: "I can promise the second miss everything else, but only this matter is specially explained by the head of the family, and no one can leave Yanchen Villa alone without anything." ”

Sima Ling smiled and said, "Who said that I want to leave Yanchen Mountain Villa alone." ”

Sima Mo said, "Second Miss, who are you going to go out with?"

Sima Ling said: "You are afraid that it is not safe for me to go out, then you can accompany me to go out for a walk, we will come back before dark, what do you think?"

Sima Mo said: "Sima Mo obeys the orders of the head of the family, and he will never dare to disobey the orders of the head of the family." ”

Sima Ling snorted coldly and said, "It's just a coward." ”

Sima Mo said: "Second Miss, Sima Mo has never retreated in the face of the enemy. ”

Sima Ling said: "Then with you to go out with me, wouldn't I be very safe." ”

Sima Mo said: "At least the second miss will not be harmed in any way." ”

Sima Ling said: "Then would you like to go out for a walk with me?"

Sima Mo pondered: "It's okay to go, but we have to come back before dark." ”

Sima Ling said: "That's nature. ”

Sima Mo was originally good at making an iron gun, but it was not convenient to accompany Sima Ling out to carry the gun, so he took a sword with him and left Sima Ling's family with him.

Sima Mo asked, "Second Miss, where are we going?"

Sima Ling said: "Naturally, it is Luohua Town, today I invite you to eat the best meal in the world." ”

Sima Mo said: "Everything depends on the second miss." ”

The two of them walked towards Luohua Town, and Sima Ling suddenly sighed: "Maybe my days like this are coming to an end." Brother Mo, do you know that I'm getting married. ”

Sima Mo nodded and said, "I know." ”

Sima Ling said faintly: "My father asked me to marry a man named Fang Ze, but I don't know what he looks like or what kind of person he is. My father told me that Fang Ze could keep the Sima family safe, and he could protect the dignified Sima family alone, which was really ridiculous. ”

Sima Mo said categorically: "Maybe others can't, but he can." ”

Sima Ling looked at Sima Mo strangely and said, "Do you know Fang Ze?"

Sima Mo said: "Of course I know, there are a few people in the four great families who don't know Fang Ze. It's actually not bad for you to marry her. ”

Sima Ling smiled bitterly: "What do you know." ”

Sima Ling and Sima Mo walked on the streets of Luohua Town, Sima Ling looked east and west, and finally took Sima Mo into the easternmost inconspicuous shop in the town.

There weren't any customers in the store, so Sima Ling and Sima Mo sat down at a table by the window.

Sima Ling smiled and said: "Don't blame me for being stingy, I have to come here every time I come out to sit down, I think this meal is the best meal in the world." ”

When the owner of the shop appeared in front of Sima Mo, Sima Mo was even more curious about whether there was anything particularly delicious in this store.

The shopkeeper was thin and slumped over to the table where they were seated.

When the shopkeeper saw Sima Ling, he smiled, but did not speak.

Sima Ling smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, make a dish you are best at and give him a taste." ”

The shopkeeper turned to go, and after a while, he walked out with a plate of food in his left and right hands.

The shopkeeper came to the table where Sima Ling was sitting, put a plate in front of Sima Ling, and said, "This plate belongs to Miss Yours." He put the other plate in front of Sima Mo and left.

Sima Ling couldn't wait to eat it, it seemed that this was the best delicacy in the world.

Sima Mo was curious, is this ordinary dish so delicious?

Sima Mo took a bite and put it in his mouth, and then frowned, this dish has too much salt, and it has a bitter taste.

Sima Ling looked at Sima Mo curiously, and said strangely, "Isn't it delicious?"
