Next to a mountain stream in the north of Xiangzhou City, Ling Qiyu was standing bare-chested in the stream, picking up the stream water with his hands from time to time to wash the wound under his left ribs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Three days ago, in the melee on the barren ridge outside Xuanzhou City, he was shot in the left rib by a random arrow from the officers and soldiers, and although his injuries were not serious, he had no time to seriously treat his wounds in the past few days.

Although the hermit's innate strange constitution caused the wound to heal quickly, the recovery was not ideal. As a result, yesterday's fight with Wan Feiqing, the helmsman of Xiangzhou of the Loyal and Righteous League, tore the wound that had been healed again, and did not find a suitable opportunity to bandage it for a while, but it was bleeding all the way, which was really a little troublesome.

He pressed the wound that had been washed, and it seemed that there was no longer much blood spilling, and he waded across the stream and returned to the shore.

Opening the package he was carrying, he first took out a packet of gold wound medicine and applied it to the wound, then tore off a white middle coat and bandaged the wound, and then found a clean black shirt to wear on his body.

He wanted to pack the package, but after his gaze lingered on something for a moment, he finally took it out and put it in his arms. Picking up the packet on his back, he put the silver mask on his face before striding towards the highest mountain not far away.

His feet were fast, and in a few moments he was halfway up the mountain.

When he came to the huge rock that protruded outward, he looked up at the sun above his head, and estimated that there was still half an hour before the appointed time, so he simply jumped on the rock, lay on it with his limbs outstretched, and fell asleep in the sun.

When Shui Lingluo was the first to reach the halfway point of the mountain, he saw such a scene.

She couldn't help blinking her big black eyes, and tiptoed towards the rock, but the idea in her heart was to remove the mask from Ling Qiyu's face, so that she could see clearly what kind of fierce and vicious appearance this murderous parting arrow looked!

Unfortunately, just when she was still a few feet away from the rock, Ling Qiyu, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly turned over and sat up, a pair of bright eyes staring at her delicate and lovely face through the mask.

"If Miss Luo'er wants to sneak attack, it is best to draw her sword from a foot away, so as not to be caught off guard. If you just want to peek, then I'm sorry, even if you walk in front of me, you can't see anything through the mask. ”

"I-I'm just going to take your mask off!" Shui Lingluo glared angrily at Ling Qiyu, who was obviously making fun of him.

"Oh, why do you have to take off my mask, could it be that I have offended Miss Luo'er in some way?" For some reason, Ling Qiyu always felt that the simple and cute little girl in front of her was really funny, and she couldn't help but want to tease her with words.

Shui Lingluo wrinkled his little nose, "I can't say it's offended! I just want to see how terrible your parting arrow looks like when you make those people of the Loyal Alliance smell it!"

Ling Qiyu couldn't help but smile dumbly, and before he could answer, he turned his gaze to the other two people who appeared next.

The first one is Gongyu Sarong, followed by Shui Xinying.

Shui Xinying's gaze turned on Ling Qiyu's face, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You have been wearing a mask, don't you trust us?"

Ling Qiyu jumped down from the rock, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Please forgive me, I just don't want my appearance to bring unnecessary trouble to the two of you in the future." ”

Shui Xinying didn't speak, but she already understood the meaning of Ling Qiyu's words. Although they secretly helped him this time, after all, they were dealing with each other's common enemies, the northerners, and when they met again in the future, they might have already stood on opposite sides.

If they saw his face today, even if they didn't report it to Xue Youyou, the leader of the Loyalty Alliance, they would not be able to show a little strange color when they met again. If someone with a heart sees the clues, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that the master didn't speak, Shui Lingluo knew that his idea of seeing the true face of the parting arrow was in vain, and he couldn't help but grimace at Ling Qiyu a little unwillingly.

When Ling Qiyu saw this, he couldn't help but show a smile in his eyes.

However, he quickly returned to his serious appearance, and bowed to Shui Xinying again: "Thank you for the help of the Water Lady and Miss Luo'er, if you are sent in the future, you will definitely do your best and never give up!"

Shui Xinying smiled slightly, and said: "A little favor, it's really not enough to worry about! If he meets again in the future, I hope we will still stand on the same side and fight the enemy together!"

Ling Qiyu nodded, turned his gaze to Shui Lingluo, and said, "Miss Luo'er, in order to express my gratitude to you for your help this time, and also to express my regret for not allowing you to take off this mask, I have something I want to give to you, I wonder if the girl is willing to smile?"

Shui Lingluo's big eyes blinked, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he ran to Ling Qiyu with a smile, and stretched out his hand unceremoniously: "Then take it out quickly and let this girl take a look!"

Ling Qiyu took out something from his arms and gently placed it in Shui Lingluo's hand.

Shui Lingluo looked down and saw that it was a short sword more than a foot long, just looking at the exquisite scabbard and the black black iron hilt, he knew that this was an extremely rare sword.

With a slight force in her hand, she pulled the blade of the short sword out of the sheath, and suddenly felt as if a flame was rushing to her face, and she was almost unable to open her eyes because of the dazzling sword body for a while.

After returning the sword to the sheath, Shui Ling Luo said to Ling Qiyu with joy: "This is really a good sword! Thank you, Brother Ling!"

Ling Qiyu laughed and said, "A sword in exchange for Miss Luo'er's 'big brother', it seems that this deal is indeed a good deal!

This sword is called 'chasing the sun', which is an ancient divine weapon, and another 'running to the moon', which is a pair with it. They used to be the swords of my good brother, and he gave me this one many years ago to ward off the enemy. I don't usually use a sword, so I think it's more appropriate to give it to the heroine of the Xiuyun Sword Sect. ”

Suddenly receiving such a valuable gift, Shui Lingluo was already overjoyed, and hearing that the parting arrow that made the rivers and lakes change color actually called herself a heroine, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed, a cute little face flushed, and immediately called sweetly: "Brother Ling, thank you!"

Ling Qiyu looked at Shui Ling Luo and said softly: "I have a younger sister named Xiang'er, who is the same age as Miss Luo'er, but unfortunately she has been weak since she was a child and cannot practice martial arts, and I, as an elder brother, have never taken good care of her. When I see Miss Luo'er today, it is like seeing my own sister, and I hope that you can both be safe and happy forever. ”

Shui Lingluo suddenly stepped forward and hugged one of Ling Qiyu's arms, looked at him with her big clear eyes, and said, "Brother Ling, you also want to be safe, Sister Xiang'er and I will always think of you and look forward to the day when we will reunite with you!"

Ling Qiyu nodded, "Don't worry, Miss Luo'er, we will definitely reunite one day, and I will give you both the best gifts when the time comes." Moreover, after you have your own wishful husband, I, as an elder brother, will still support you, and no one will dare to bully you!"

Hearing these words, Shui Lingluo couldn't help but smile a little shyly, and then there was an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart. She endured it and didn't let the tears fall, just shook Ling Qiyu's arm gently, and then turned around and returned to Shui Xinying's side.

Ling Qiyu solemnly hugged his fist and saluted Shui Xinying, Shui Xinying also nodded to him solemnly, and then walked down the mountain with Shui Lingluo.

"Miss Luo'er!" Gongyu Sarong, who had never said a word since he came here, suddenly shouted at this time.

Shui Lingluo and Shui Xinying stopped at the same time.

Gongyu Sarong looked at them with a very complicated gaze, and hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "Don't go down the mountain from this road!"

Just when Shui Lingluo and Shui Xinying were both puzzled, Ling Qiyu's heart suddenly moved, and he said loudly and anxiously: "Listen to him! Water Woman, you go down the mountain as soon as possible from the other direction!"

Shui Lingluo was about to ask why, but Shui Xinying didn't give her a chance, and pulled her along the overgrown rocky path on the other side to the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, Ling Qiyu turned his gaze to Gongyu Sarong and asked calmly, "Duxiaoqiong is here, right?"
