Although the peach blossoms in Bianjing have not yet bloomed, in the south of the Yangtze River, where the climate is pleasant, rape flowers have already bloomed all over the ground.

In Shaoxing, between the Shen family, one of the four major martial arts families in the south of the Yangtze River, and Tiangong Mountain, there is a large field of rape flowers.

Every year at this time, many people come here. Especially in the past few days when it has been raining hazy recently, young and beautiful women like to walk in the fields with umbrellas and scarves covering their faces.

The young and vigorous men were in groups of threes and fives, either chanting poems to attract the attention of the girls, or looking at the girls like foraging vultures.

Although Shen Xiaoqing is married, the man in Shaoxing still hopes to have an exclusive encounter with her in this hazy season.

However, their fantasies were destined to come to naught, because Shen Xiaoqing had been practicing in retreat recently and had no plans to go out.

Shenzhuang, Taoyuan.

In the deserted room, Shen Xiaoqing was sitting cross-legged on the couch in the study and meditating.

At this time, her face was not very good, and she looked very anxious.

When her face turned blue and red, cold sweat seeped from the ends of her hair. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and two rays of light shot out of her eyes.

Her brow furrowed, and her face was solemn. Ye Fei said that her realm breakthrough was imminent, so he didn't take her to Bianjing with him.

However, Ye Fei went to Bianjing for such a long time, and instead of breaking through the realm, she became worse and worse as she practiced. Some of the insights and experiences she had given under Ye Fei's point before seemed to be wrong and could not be fully integrated.

She thought to herself: If Ye Fei was here, she would definitely be able to give her some guidance.

But when he thought of Ye Fei, Shen Xiaoqing felt angry in his heart. It has been about forty days since I last saw Ye Fei, but Ye Fei has only written two letters to him.

She had counted it twice, and found that Ye Fei's second letter was thirty-five words less than the first one, she didn't know if this meant that Ye Fei missed her a little less.

She didn't know how she was doing in Ye Fei now, and when she planned to come back.

Slowly, just as Shen Xiaoqing was about to continue his cultivation, suddenly, the voice of the maid Dongju came from outside the door.

"Master, Miss is practicing, so it's inconvenient to disturb, or you can sit outside for a while. ”

"Alright then, you go make a pot of tea. ”

Hearing his father Shen Yu's voice, Shen Xiaoqing's face showed curiosity, and then he got up and went out of the study first and then out of the house.

After opening the door, she looked at Shen Yu, who was walking towards the pavilion, and said, "Father, why are you here?"

Shen Yu turned around, hurriedly arrived in front of her, stopped talking, and then let out a lament.

Shen Xiaoqing suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and said in a panic: "Father, could it be that something happened to Ye Fei!"

Shen Yu nodded first, and then shook his head, "Now it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that after Ye Fei arrived in Bianjing, the first thing he did was to remove the notice in front of the Divine Sword Pavilion to recruit his son-in-law. ”

"A notice for a son-in-law?"

"It's the notice of the Sword God recruiting the sons-in-law of the inner and outer cultivators," Shen Yu explained, "Ye Fei fully meets the requirements of the notice! Now that Ye Fei is in Bianjing, he is living in the Divine Sword Pavilion, and he is in a pair with Yang Yiyi, the daughter of the Sword God, it seems that he is going to become the son-in-law of the Sword God!"

Hearing this, Shen Xiaoqing's face changed.

"Daughter, has Ye Fei written to you recently, what did he tell you in the letter?" Shen Yu asked.

Shen Xiaoqing turned around without saying a word, closed the door, clenched his fists, and walked towards the study angrily, muttering "Kill you".

"Eh," Shen Yu knocked on the door twice, with a bitter expression, "Daughter, before you finished speaking, why did you close the door, could it be that Ye Fei is really going to be the son-in-law of the Sword God?"

After knocking on the door twice more, and after saying a few words, seeing that Shen Xiaoqing was not going to open the door again, Shen Yu had no choice but to give up, leaving in a huff, and scolded with a gloomy face, "It's really getting more and more unpleasant."

However, the moment he walked out of the peach orchard, there was a sudden bang, and the door that he was about to knock on just now suddenly broke, along with several windows on the same side.

After feeling a hidden and strong sword aura overflowing from the room, Shen Yu's eyes widened, while Dong Ju, who had just come out with a pot of hot tea, was stunned.

"Old man, what's going on?" Dong Ju looked at Shen Yu and asked, the soles of her feet seemed to be glued to the bricks under her feet, and she couldn't move no matter how she trembled.

After a while, under the gaze of the two, Shen Xiaoqing walked out of the room.

At this time, her eyes were sharp and her face was pale, which was different from just now.

"Daughter, what are you?" Shen Yu looked at his daughter in shock.

After only glancing at Shen Yu, Shen Xiaoqing went to the pool not far from the peach orchard.

She saw herself on the surface of the pool where the rain dripped and rippled in circles.

She raised her hand, clenched her fist in her right hand, and a water sword poured out of the pool.

After she let go of her hand, the water sword dispersed, and the sword qi around her was agitated.

"Xianggong, I did it!" she said with joy.

However, she soon sank her face and snorted, "Stinky Xianggong!"

......

After sneezing, Ye Fei woke up from his sleep.

Last night in Yang Yiyi's boudoir, he said something for a long time before leaving. Thinking about it at this time, he regretted it a little in his heart, if this matter was known or spread, it would not be good for Yang Yiyi's reputation, and it would be the same for him.

Seeing that it was already dawn outside, he immediately got up and got out of bed, and after simply dressing and washing, he left the Divine Sword Pavilion and rushed to the Yipinxiang Tea House alone.

Du Kuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, is a smart man, he only handed over Qin Hanming to him last night, and he will definitely ask him about Qin Hanming's disposition today. And this Pinxiang Tea House is the most suitable place for the two to meet.

Sure enough, when he came to the teahouse, he was asked by the second child in the teahouse: "Ye Gongzi, are you here to find someone, please upstairs." ”

Coming to a private room on the second floor, Ye Fei saw Du Kuan.

Du Kuan was eating a meat bun, and it looked like he had just arrived.

"Ye Shaoxia, it's better to come early than to come at a good time, please sit down. Du Kuan smiled earnestly.

After sitting down, Ye Fei first took a sip of hot tea, and then said, "Lord Qin, you're dead." ”

Du Kuan froze, and only after a few breaths did he continue to nibble on the buns.

"Master Du, it seems to be a little sad. ”

"It's a pity," Du Kuan said with a smile, "If he wasn't a person in the hidden sky, he would definitely be a good official." ”

"Even if he is a hidden man, he is also a good official. Ye Fei corrected.

Stunned, Du Kuan nodded, "Ye Shaoxia is reasonable. However, you came to this official at this time, not just to tell me about Lord Qin's death. ”

"That's right," Ye Fei nodded, "Lord Du has heard the emperor say something?"

"What?"

"When he was in Hangzhou, he was assassinated by the Fire Sect?"
