Although the two of them didn't do anything out of the ordinary, they seemed to have made a serious mistake, so they hurriedly got up and turned their backs. Dao Xueke hurriedly settled down, looking at the person who came, it was the young master of the Ye Sword Sect, Chu Qing'an, the daughter of Chu Yunshan.

That Chu Qing'an thought that it was a cheating little couple who had a private meeting here, and he had never seen his face, but now he was bumping into the straight gaze of the knife snowman, and he sounded that day he took out his sword to block the sword he had always been proud of, and for fear of accidentally injuring himself, he forcibly withdrew his internal force and caused a backlash, so he felt ashamed, his eyes couldn't dodge, and his cheeks were already red. For a while, the three of them were silent, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Dao Xueke had to be the first to speak, and Shi Li said: "It turned out to be Miss Chu, I don't know why Miss is here?" Chu Qing'an was a little angry when he heard this, and thought about whether it was possible to blame himself for disturbing the two of them, and his arrogant temperament squeezed out the original shame. Man's heart itself is a narrow place, and there is only one emotion for a while. Chu Qing'an refused to be defeated, so he said: "This Sword Picking Cliff has always been a place for my Yiye Sword Sect disciples to cultivate, although it is also provided for guests to play and watch, but my dignified Yiye Sword Sect's eldest lady, do you have to inform you in advance when she comes to my own territory?" Chu Qing'an turned his hands behind his back, pretending to be calm and old-fashioned: "You are really, a lot of courtesy." "Dao Xueke never thought that the personality of this eldest lady of Ye Jianmen was far from Chu Yunshan, and she was also willful and perverse if she didn't know how to be polite, but she couldn't say it clearly, so she had to respond.

"Mo is not just indulging in the gentle country, and now he is still a little floating, so he said the wrong thing. As soon as Chu Qing'an said this, he surprised Dao Xueke Rao Mengli, who had never been ridiculed like this since he was a child, and his face was flushed more and more uncontrollable, so he lowered his head even lower. Chu Qing'an walked up to Na Rao Mengli, glanced at it a few times, and then said, "It's also a Peugeot girl, how can you follow such a man." Dao Xueke knew that this misunderstanding could not be deepened, and if it was publicized by Chu Qing'an, it would be difficult for him to explain it to Xiao Wuxian. "Miss Chu misunderstood, we are just brothers and sisters who have grown up together since childhood, and we accidentally fell to the ground in order to avoid falling into the cliff, not as the girl thought. Dao Xueke explained.

Chu Qing'an had a playful expression on his face, turned around and said while pacing: "The falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers." This short sentence punctured the heart that Rao Mengli didn't dare to say clearly.

"Hey, your knife skills are not bad, no, it's rude to always ask you to feed. I don't know what your name is?" Chu Qing'an is straightforward, but his personality and behavior are not like ordinary daughters. Dao Xueke wanted to give another salute, but was stopped by Chu Qing'an: "Alas, alas, why do you have so many courtesies, but it seems that this woman is rude, if you are like this again, I will publicize the two of you today!" "Knife Snowman... Knife Snowman... You are that, don't ask Feixue what he wants, but the first swordsman of the Ten Ghost Hall, Dao Xueke, who knows the sword of Ye Shuanghan, is no wonder he can take my sword of flying flowers and remnant leaves, I think you are also a person with a small reputation in the rivers and lakes, and Xiao Wuxian will not accept incompetent people by his side. Dao Xueke replied: "Where is there any reputation, or Miss Chu's swordsmanship is more subtle." "That's nature. Chu Qing'an became arrogant again, "My Yiye Sword Sect is a famous and decent family martial arts, and naturally those wild fox Zen cannot be compared." ”

Rao Mengli saw that Chu Qing'an was a little disrespectful to Xiao Wuxian and Dao Xueke when he was talking to Dao Xueke, and he was displeased, so he called out to Chu Qing'an and said, "You dare to be disrespectful to my Xiao Hall Master!"

Dao Xueke hurriedly grabbed Rao Mengli's shoulder to avoid disputes and conflicts between the two, and explained: "Xiaoli, Miss Chu didn't mean to call the hall master by his name. ”

Chu Qing'an chuckled and said, "It is rumored that the Ten Ghost Halls, and everyone will be punished for their actions. Talking to the two of you today, the Ten Ghost Hall is not a fierce god, and it is in vain that I go to great lengths to test you. Tomorrow is my Yiye Sword Gate's competition against the Cold Mountain Taoist Temple, and you will definitely be present at that time, this girl will let you see the real Flying Flower Remnant Leaf Sword!" "This woman is really strange, she is so willful, if it weren't for the name of Chu Yunshan, I'm afraid that the nickname of the sword woman on the rivers and lakes alone would not be able to break through these years. Rao Mengli looked up at Dao Xueke and said. Dao Xueke said: "I think she has a bold personality, but she is a little straightforward. Then again, Xiaoli, why did you follow me to this Sword Picking Cliff?"

Rao Mengli took half a step back, twisted the jade fingers of his hands together, and the faded flush climbed up his cheeks again, and he was silent for a long time before replying: "I saw that you pushed the door without saying a word, and I was a little worried, so I followed." I just saw Brother Xue standing on the edge of the cliff, afraid that you would jump into the abyss, so I hugged Brother Xue, I didn't want to be in such a situation. Brother Xue, don't blame me......" Dao Xueke smiled: "I never said that I would blame you, that is, I knew that you couldn't rest assured before I came over." Rao Mengli raised her head, her eyes were firmly fixed on Dao Xueke's face, and asked, "Then why did Brother Xue come here to pick the sword cliff three times and twice?" As soon as these words came out, he felt that something was wrong, but it was difficult to take it back. Dao Xueke naturally knew it, so he no longer hid it: "Presumably you have secretly followed me several times, but you have hidden in the dark and never appeared." ”

"Brother Xue, could it be that you ......" "Yes, I haven't debunked you, but it doesn't mean that I haven't noticed it." Your hidden aura is naturally profound, but there are a few times when you don't even notice it. Rao Mengli knew that she was wrong, and she hesitated for a long time before she spit out what she thought in her heart: "Dare to ask Brother Xue, who is the old friend who often accompanies Brother Xue to talk here, why did he fight with Brother Xue, and why Brother Xue would rather hurt himself than fight him, and you seem to be very close, what did Brother Luo say that day, Senior Sister......" The voice became smaller and lower, and the head became lower and lower. Although Dao Xueke knew that she would have this question sooner or later, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when she faced it, so she had to say: "That person is indeed my senior sister, her name is Liu Yuanjun, she dresses as a man just to act cheaply, she has taken care of me since I was a child, and she also entrusted me to Hall Master Xiao, she should be the closest person to me in this world." There are some things that are difficult to tell others, and I can only share them with her. As for my background and others, I can't say before the time comes. Once one more person knows, it may be a little more dangerous, Xiaoli, you and Bai Yi and Xiao Hall Master are all my brothers and sisters, and they are all my relatives, I really don't want to drag you into it. Xiaoli, don't blame me. ”

When Xiaoli heard this, she smiled slightly, like a peach blossom blooming, and Dao Xueke only felt a little dazzling: "Brother Xue is willing to tell me these things that others don't know, which is already the greatest trust in Xiaoli." Xiaoli doesn't have to get to the bottom of it, her mind has been solved, and there is no need to say anything else. It's just that Miss Liu doesn't know where to go for the time being, if Brother Xue has something in his heart, he must not suppress it in his heart and abuse himself, if he wants to confide, Xiaoli will definitely listen. It's getting late, so let's go back early, so that my father doesn't worry them. "Anyway, it's convenient for the sword snowman to leave the sword cliff together.

When he arrived at the door of the wing, he saw Xiao Wuxian standing alone outside the door, and when he saw the two of them returning, he didn't ask much, but said, "Xiaoli, you go to eat first." I'll talk to Ah Xue alone. Rao Mengli glanced at the Dao Xueke beside him and entered the door. Dao Xueke came to Xiao Wuxian's side and said softly, "Hall Master." Xiao Wuxian turned around and said to him: "Ah Xue, after careful consideration, the old man has decided to visit Chu Yunshan tonight, and it is better not for you to go." Dao Xueke asked, "Why?" Xiao Wuxian explained: "Today in the martial arts arena, he asked about your sword technique, although you used an excuse to deduce, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be suspicious, if he recognizes your sword technique, it will inevitably be complicated. The old man made this decision just in case. Dao Xueke said: "The hall master's words are wrong, if he really sees my sword technique, he must also know more or less about Kexue Mountain Villa, maybe he has also heard about the things back then." Since I came to Yiye Sword Gate to look for clues, how could I miss this opportunity. Hugh said that if the hall wants me to go, even if the hall master doesn't go, I will find another time to visit him. Xiao Wuxian sighed and said, "Since this is the case, the old man will no longer insist. It's just that I don't know whether this visit is auspicious or evil. ”

The moonlight is faint, tiled between the pavilions of the Huanyu Pavilion of the Sword Gate. The silver light is sprinkled all over, decorating it, like Qionglou Yuyu, making people feel like a fairyland. The moonlight is like veil and water, casting dappled shadows on the silvery white ground.

Xiao Wuxian came to the main hall with Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli. Sure enough, Chu Yunshan was drinking tea with Chu Qing'an on the top of the main hall. Seeing that Xiao Wuxian and the three of them came to visit, he greeted him and saluted with his fists: "Master Xiao is a big man, if you miss the distance, you hope to forgive your sins." Xiao Wuxian returned the salute: "The old man took the liberty to come, I don't know if he disturbed the Lord of Chumen to talk with Ling Ai." Chu Yunshan laughed twice: "Haha, Hall Master Xiao is wrong with this, please sit inside." Then he brought Xiao Wuxian and his party into the main hall to take a seat. "Thank you Lord Truman for today's events. Xiao Wuxian thanked. Chu Yunshan said: "I don't know what Hall Master Xiao said. ”

Dao Xueke replied for Xiao Wuxian: "The Ten Ghost Halls deeply feel the great grace of the Lord of Chumen, and have repeatedly helped. Today, we made a righteous move on the field to avoid a conflict between us and the Qiankun faction. Chu Yunshan stroked his beard and smiled: "Xue Gongzi is polite, it is not the old man's help, the rivers and lakes are all about the Ten Ghost Hall, but the old man believes that what Hall Master Xiao said about purging the door is not just empty talk, and the Ten Ghost Hall is not a small person in the rivers and lakes." Since it wasn't the Xiao Hall Master who attacked from behind, how could the old man sit back and watch that Qiankun faction come to him. Besides, the old man can't bear to see Xue Gongzi fall into my sword gate with such a good martial arts. Dao Xueke got up and saluted: "The master of the door has praised it, the junior martial arts are not proficient, and it is far inferior to Miss Chu's swordsmanship. ”

Chu Qing'an, who had been silent on the side, tightened his nose when he heard this, and snorted lightly. Chu Yunshan said: "An'er, don't be rude. It seems that the old man spoils you too much on weekdays, which makes you so willful. He turned to Xiao Wuxian and the three of them and said, "The old man and the goddess have no way to make the three of them laugh." "Miss Chu is just a little more straightforward, but she is also a temperamental. Dao Xueke said.

Chu Yunshan's gaze fell on Rao Mengli, and he asked, "Who is this girl?" Rao Mengli got up and saluted: "Junior Rao Mengli, I have seen the master of Chumen." Xiao Wuxian also said: "Xiaoli is an old husband and daughter. Chu Yunshan said with a smile: "It turned out to be Rao Mengli, the Nine Shades of Goldfinch, I never thought that it was a Xiaotang girl, she was really Peugeot, and she knew how well she was booked, and she didn't know how old she was?" Chu Yunshan stroked his beard for a while and turned his back on his hand, and sighed: "It's the same age as the little girl, compared to it, the little girl is really stubborn." The old man is really ashamed. Chu Qing'an was displeased when he heard this, and shouted: "Dad! How can anyone belittle his own daughter in front of outsiders! Besides, no matter how stubborn I am, I still know the etiquette of honesty and shame, and I will never be alone in a man and a widow." ”

Dao Xueke and Rao Mengli were caught off guard by this ridicule, and in front of the two seniors, one twisted his face to the side, and the other lowered his head to hide the blushing on his face. Xiao Wuxian and Chu Yunshan naturally didn't know why, so they continued to talk. "After the competition, a disciple came to report and told me that we don't have to go down the mountain first, and that our Ten Ghost Hall and the Qiankun Sect will participate in the championship competition the day after tomorrow. Xiao Wuxian said. Chu Yunshan said: "It's not the old man who helps, this matter is decided by the leaders of the various sects after discussing and deciding together." It's not the old man's power alone. Dao Xueke stepped forward and saluted: "Anyway, Lord Trumen has helped three times and twice, and we really should be thanked." ”

Chu Yunshan laughed three times, and Chu Qing'an on the side also looked at the knife snowman from time to time with his spare eyes, not knowing what was in his heart. Chu Yunshan said: "The old man also wants to see the exquisite sword technique that Xue Gongzi taught himself. Dao Xueke smiled: "The master of Trumen seems to be very concerned about the sword skills of the juniors, and I think I must have seen it somewhere." Hearing this, Chu Yunshan turned his back, paced back and forth, and stroked his beard and said slowly: "It's not true, but I feel a little familiar, like a knife technique used by an old man." Many years have passed, so don't mention it. Hearing this, Dao Xueke's body shook a little, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, but his wrists were suddenly choked by Xiao Wuxi. Xiao Wuxian shook his head secretly, Dao Xueke also realized that he should not be impulsive, Fang Cai's anger almost broke the matter, but fortunately, Xiao Wuxian reminded him that he calmed down. "No matter how exquisite your sword skills are, how can they compare to the Flying Flower Remnant Leaf Sword of my One Leaf Sword Gate. ”

"An'er!" Chu Yunshan restrained Chu Qing'an and continued. Chu Qing'an's cheeks bulged, and he ran back to the inner hall in a daze. Only Chu Yunshan, who sighed silently and shook his head, was left standing in place.

"Ling Ai's personality is straightforward, and she really deserves to be a straightforward heroine. Lord Truman doesn't have to worry either. Xiao Wuxian got up and said, "In that case, we will no longer bother the Master of Chumen, and the old man will take his leave." Chu Yunshan said with a smile: "Then the old man won't send it, goodbye." With that, Xiao Wuxian and the three of them walked out of the main hall and went back to the wing room.

Along the way, Rao Mengli walked behind the two of them, silent. Xiao Wuxian said to Dao Xueke: "I just saw that you were a little impulsive, so I stopped you. He only said that he was familiar with your knife skills, maybe he was also an old acquaintance with your father. It doesn't prove that he was really involved in the incident back then, and if you really did make a move, it would cause irreparable consequences, you know. Dao Xueke replied, "I was impulsive and reckless." Xiao Wuxian turned around and said to the two, "Have a good rest tonight, and leave something for later." The two of them left Xiao without a trace and returned to their own rooms.

Dao Xueke had been unable to sleep at night in the past ten years, and the things that happened during his visit to Chu Yunshan today naturally bothered him even more. Instead of tossing and turning in bed and having trouble sleeping, it is better to go to the Sword Picking Cliff to see the moonlight, perhaps, the senior sister should also come back. Dao Xueke thought so. The moonlight in midsummer is thick but not demonic, and it is even more so in this sword cliff that is a few minutes close to the heavenly palace, and the moonlight sprinkles broken jade between the flowers and plants. Dao Xueke only felt a little intoxicated in the middle of the night, maybe it was the loneliness in his heart for a long time, or maybe it was because Yiye Jianmen was too far away from Hongchen like the Kexue Villa back then. Although the jade plate hung high in his heart, it was also like a wisp of clear water, slowly flowing into the heart of Dao Xueke.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rustling in his ears, and he knew that it was Rao Mengli who was secretly following him again, so he said, "Come out, Xiaoli." Since it was made clear last time, why hide. The man was not hiding, but walked towards the Knife Snowman. Dao Xueke only felt that there seemed to be a sound of drawing a sword behind him, and he had already raised seven points of vigilance, and suddenly a chill came from behind. A sword struck from behind, and the sword snowman immediately tilted his head to one side, and the blade of the sword brushed against the tip of his right ear, leaving a faint trace of blood.

The snowman flipped on his side and stepped on the old tree beside him, and the man stabbed him with his sword. He took advantage of his strength to go up, tiptoe, rolled down, and punched the man. Since that person came with murderous intent, he didn't have to dodge. That person was blocked by the horizontal sword, and the sword snowman fell smoothly, but the person was shocked by the fist wind and took a step back.

The man stabbed straight in front of him, and the sword snowman hurriedly leaned over to dodge, and then swept out a leg. The man flew up, and the long sword slashed straight down, and the snowman rolled on the ground to dodge, and suddenly got up, and struck his right elbow on the man's forearm where he raised his sword, and his left palm went straight along the arm and struck the man on the left shoulder.
