Chapter 261, the old woman in the courtyard
"Invited? I don't think so. Shangguan Feixue thought for a while and said, "Now, it can only be regarded as an agreement." ”
"Invitations or appointments. Since you are willing to come to Penglai Island, then you will also become a shadow man in the future!" the old man said to Shangguan Feixue.
"This may not be", Shangguan Feixue shook his head and said to the old man, "I don't want to stay here forever like you. ”
Hearing Shangguan Feixue say this, the old man's face changed slightly: "You refuse to enter the shadows?"
The old man squinted at Shangguan Feixue from the corner of his eyes, and his face had lost his previous pleasant complexion.
"How good I am now. As he spoke, Shangguan Feixue patted his body with one hand, and said: "One person and one sword, no worries, the ends of the world, let me be free." You say, why should I join the Shadows and be commanded?"
For Shangguan Feixue, no amount of money or power is as happy as being at ease. His life has been through many hardships, and now he can finally live happily, and he doesn't want to be bound by these things.
Listening to Shangguan Feixue's words, the old man's eyes twitched slightly, and he said, "You don't want to save your friends?" Su Hongsleeve, Lu Sheng, Wu Bo, Yang Caier, those seem to be your old friends in the Nanshan Gang." There is also the granddaughter of the medicine king, the eldest lady of the Song family, and the few followers you accepted. ”
Hearing the old man mention almost all the people close to him, Shangguan Feixue's face sank.
"You know a lot!" Shangguan Feixue smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you are not simple." ”
"It's no secret in the Shadows that your friend is on the Shadows' hunt list. The old man said calmly.
The old lady's explanation made Shangguan Feixue speechless.
"That's right. Shangguan Feixue nodded.
Although he agreed like this, Shangguan Feixue still questioned the identity of this old man in his heart, although he couldn't feel the old man's overflowing internal force, but just from the fact that the old man could quietly walk behind Shangguan Feixue, this old man must not be a simple person, at least in this area, it must be much higher than Shangguan Feixue.
"Of course I'll take care of my friend's business. But I'm not going to be threatened by the Shadow Men because of that. Shangguan Feixue seemed to have an idea, and said resolutely.
"What if they have to make this a quid pro quo?" the old man continued.
"It's a threat. If that's the case, I'm not going to give up. Shangguan Feixue replied.
"Do you want to use martial arts?" the old man looked disdainful and continued: "With your ability, you can't even enter the top ten in the shadows, and you can only bring humiliation on yourself when you use force. ”
"Maybe you're right. Shangguan Feixue smiled and said, "Maybe there are other variables that are not known. ”
"I advise you not to think about anything, otherwise, there is no second option but to bring shame on yourself. The old man shook his head.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Seeing the old man's sarcastic words, Shangguan Feixue asked with a displeased face.
"I'm an idler on Penglai Island. The old man smiled, still talking to Shangguan Feixue in ventriloquism.
"How much can you rank in the shadows with your old kung fu?" Shangguan Feixue looked at the old man and asked lightly.
"I'm not in the rankings. The old man replied calmly.
Shangguan Feixue knew that although Yalan's servants who served people were also martial arts, they did not participate in the ranking in the shadows, so he naturally classified the old man as their category.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Feixue shook his head and said to the old man: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, I haven't met the master of your shadow yet, and it's too early to say anything." ”
"That's right. The old man nodded, looked at Shangguan Feixue again, and then spoke: "I heard that Shangguan Gongzi has excellent swordsmanship and has repeatedly defeated the Supreme Sect masters. You are so young and have such skills, and you don't know who you will inherit?"
"It's a shame to say that the swordsmanship under me was learned by chance, and there is no teacher. Shangguan Feixue said bluntly to the old man.
Speaking of mentorship, Shangguan Feixue has not worshiped his master except for officially worshipping Xiao He as his teacher and learning the Phoenix Dance for nine days, but he has not worshiped his master in other martial arts and swordsmanship, so it can only be regarded as self-study.
"It's rare to have such an opportunity. The old man didn't believe what Shangguan Feixue said, and thought that he didn't want to say it, so he deliberately made up the words, so he smiled and nodded.
Shangguan Feixue and the old man were talking, and the servant Yalan came over.
"Shangguan Gongzi, our young master ......" Yalan just spoke, and when he saw the old man at a glance, he was suddenly startled, and he looked a little panicked.
"Yalan, why can't you speak when you see my old woman. The old man winked at Arlan and smiled.
"No, no. Arran replied repeatedly.
"The young man has seen Shangguan Gongzi?" the old man continued.
"Yes. Arran nodded.
"Alas, I can't hold my breath at all!" the old man sighed and shook his head.
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Yalan turned to Shangguan Feixue and said, "Someone from the main hall has passed the word, and our young master is invited." ”
"Got it. Shangguan Feixue nodded, turned to the old man, and said, "Old man, I'll go first, and we'll talk when I have a chance later." ”
The old man smiled and nodded to Shangguan Feixue, waved his hand, and motioned for Shangguan Feixue to leave.
Shangguan Feixue followed Yalan to the outside of the courtyard, and saw that a man in black was already waiting there, so he nodded to the man in black.
"Childe, please come with me. The man in black signaled to Shangguan Feixue, and without saying anything, he turned around and walked towards the lobby with Shangguan Feixue.
When I entered the lobby, I saw that the two sides of the lobby were full of people in black.
The black-clothed people on the left and right sides of the inner hall faintly exuded a trace of powerful aura in their bodies, and they were obviously some top masters.
In the front of the lobby, a huge ink dragon hangs in the middle, and on a huge lacquered gold chair under the scroll, a delicate girl dressed in black sits in the center, beautiful but majestic.
"Young master, Shangguan Feixue brought. The man in black who led Shangguan Feixue to the girl in black saluted and said.
The girl in black nodded, waved her hand at the man in black, and motioned for him to go down.
The man in black said yes and exited the lobby.
"Shangguan Feixue, I didn't expect you to come to Penglai Island so soon. Although the girl in black said lightly to Shangguan Feixue, there was a look of expectation in her eyes.
This girl in black is the current ruler of the Shadow, and the only descendant of the previous Shadow Master.
