Chapter 188: Him
"Although Yun Zhongyue's strength is very strong, but you can't help but exalt him too much, how can the Shushan Sword Sect be able to climb to it? Moreover, how can the Shushan Sword Sect's hidden sword sect that does not enter the red dust and has few desires accept a disciple like Yun Zhongyue? His Phaseless Divine Skill is just a little bit of the skin of the real Phaseless Divine Skill!" Xia Mudan said.
"What kind of kung fu is Wuxianggong? Sounds like it's amazing. Xiaoyaozi asked.
"Without phase, nature is ever-changing. And the Wuxiang Divine Skill, listen to him......" Xia Peony paused, looked at Xiaoyaozi with a hint of discoloration on his face and said: "I heard that it is an incomparably fantastic kung fu, although it cannot greatly increase people's skills, nor can it make people kill people against the enemy, for Shushan Jianmen, it is just a kung fu for people to have fun." But it is such a small toy that is not in the Shushan Sword Gate, but it is very useful for those killers who need to hide their whereabouts.
It is said that after the practice of this kung fu, it can change a person's body shape. The most clever disguise technique in the world can only change people's appearance, and this phaseless magic skill, although it cannot change its appearance, can change a person's height and body shape. It's just that I've never seen such a magical kung fu. Perhaps, this is also the reason why I can't find the moon in the clouds. ”
Xiaoyaozi let out a light "oh", Xia Peony's pause did not hide from Xiaoyaozi, this is the second time she blurted out the "he" she talked about, so, compared to the Wuxiang Divine Skill, what makes Xiaoyaozi more curious is the "he" mentioned again in Peony's mouth.
"The one in your mouth should be a chic and uninhibited, martial arts hero!" Xiaoyaozi said, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, he knew that even if he was crowned as the tenth killer in the rivers and lakes, and even he was confident that with his current strength, he was enough to challenge the fifth on the killer list, but in front of that person, Xiaoyaozi knew that whether it was identity or status, it was nothing at all.
Xia Peony glanced at Xiaoyaozi and didn't speak, just sighed faintly, she didn't want to mention that person in front of outsiders, especially in front of Xiaoyaozi, but every time, she would accidentally say it. Although her martial arts are much higher than Xiaoyaozi, with her strength, it is still not enough to detect so many secrets of the rivers and lakes, and the sources of these secrets of the rivers and lakes all come from the mouth of "him".
"He" is like a book of ten thousand treasures for Xia Peony, anyone or anything in the Jianghu martial arts, as long as you ask him, you will be able to get a satisfactory answer, this is his ability.
A woman's attraction to a man lies in her mystery, while a man's attraction to a woman lies in his ability. Xia Peony is a woman, so with such a man by her side, she naturally won't take other men in the world to heart.
She didn't want to mention "him" in front of Xiaoyaozi, but even no matter how restrained a woman is, there is vanity, although she didn't want to mention it in front of Xiaoyaozi, but the man's excellence will make her can't help mentioning it. A person who can make Xia Peony can't help but mention it is enough to show the weight of that person in Xia Peony's mind.
"He is Xia Yun's father! the only man in my life. Xia Peony said.
He ...... He's still alive?!" Xiaoyaozi didn't know how he could ask this sentence, maybe he couldn't help it! Although Xiaoyaozi didn't know who Xia Yun's father was, he always thought that the reason why Xia Peony was indifferent to anyone, and even seemed a little sinking, was that the man was dead.
"I didn't expect him to be alive! This is probably the only thing I should be happy about in my life. Xia Peony said.
Xiaoyaozi smiled, his smile was a little stiff, and his eyes were a little dodgy when he looked at Xia Peony. There was an indescribable taste in his heart. Xia Peony is the only woman he has ever loved in his life, or the only woman he has ever had a crush.
Although Xia Peony is very cold, Xiaoyaozi is confident that as long as he is given a chance, one day, he will be able to use his truest heart and most sincere love to melt and revive this seemingly dusty and frozen heart, and when he sees her again this time, he thought that the opportunity had come, but he never thought that this was not his chance, but the shattering of his hope.
Some people say that if you really love someone, it is enough to watch her be happy, but in the end, who doesn't want to be happy with the person you love? That kind of high-sounding talk is actually just a dose of self-healing helplessness!
Xiaoyaozi was silent, Xia Peony didn't speak again, she was originally cold, and she said so many words today because she was in a good mood, and found that "him", the reason why her temperament changed.
"I'm leaving!" Xia Peony said.
"You're going to Perak Hall?" asked Xiaoyaozi.
Xia Peony nodded.
"She's my nominal sister after all!" Xia Peony paused, looked back at Xiaoyaozi, and then walked outside.
"If you can, the head of the Thunderbolt Hall Master, you might as well keep it for the time being!" said Xiaoyaozi as he stood up.
"Why?" Xia Peony stopped and asked simply.
"From your words, I can tell that your affection with your sister is very weak, although I don't know why, but since this is the case, I think it seems more appropriate for Ho Zhichong's head to be taken by another person. ”
Xia Peony turned her head with a hint of surprise on her face, in her mind, in this world, it seemed that no one except her had a reason to avenge her sister.
"Your sister's son!" said Xiaoyaozi.
"He's still alive?" said Xia Peony with a hint of surprise in her tone.
"Not only is he alive, but he also has martial arts that are not weak!" Xiaoyaozi said.
Xia Peony was silent for a while, and the surprise on her face gradually faded, and then she asked lightly, "That kid should be called Xiong Qiang, right?"
A past gradually surfaced in her mind.
It was July 15, twenty years ago, and my sister Xia Furong was holding a pink baby, waiting for someone in the gazebo in the backyard of Xia Mansion. Her sister told him that it was the day of the full moon of the child and that she was waiting for her husband to return.
At that time, Xia Peony and her aunt Mulian were also there, and they both wanted to see who the irresponsible man who had made a lifelong agreement with his sister and gave birth to a child.
At that time, she had been accepted as a disciple by Wumei Shitai, and that time was also the first time she returned to Xia Mansion after she left with Wumei Shitai.
At that time, she looked at the pink child in Fleur's arms, and she also loved it very much. But when she saw the white gold silk embroidered hibiscus flower pattern brocade pin pinned to the child's body, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, this brocade pa embroidered with gold filigree was so familiar to her.
"Where did this Jinpa come from?" Xia Peony looked at this Jinpa, which she was all too familiar with, and there was a hint of nervousness in her expression.
Xia Furong's face overflowed with a smile, and said, "Sister, do you also like this brocade too?" However, this brocade is indeed very beautifully embroidered, and you can see this blooming hibiscus as if it is about to break away from this brocade papa. Guess who has such a skillful craft?"
"Let me ask you, who embroidered this painting?" Xia Peony's voice was very high, and her tone was also full of anger, and her delicate face was also rosy.
Her roar startled both Xia Furong and Mu Lian, and their eyes were full of shock and doubt.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Did I upset you?" Xia Furong pursed her lips, with a hint of timidity in her eyes, and whispered.
Xia Peony's breath also gradually calmed down from turbidity, but at that time only she knew how fast her heart was beating at that time.
"Sister, tell me, who embroidered this brocade?"
"Xiong Fei! He is Xiong Qiang's father, this is me who accompanied him, embroidered under the lamp, looking at his familiar stitches, I never imagined that he would have such a skillful craftsmanship as a big man. When she said this, Xia Furong seemed to be stuck in the days with Xiong Fei again, and her face showed a sweet sense of happiness.
Hearing this, Xia Peony's face became a little weird, and the eyes that looked at Xia Furong seemed to be full of sympathy and sadness. Suddenly, she laughed coldly, like crazy, and said, "Xiong Fei, hehe, Xiong Fei!"
Xia Furong, who didn't know why, also showed a puzzled look and said, "Sister, you ...... What's wrong?"
"Peony, do you know that man?" After all, Mulian is older and has a lot of experience.
Xia Peony smiled maniacally, her mouth was still repeating Xiong Fei's name in pieces, her whole face looked extremely pale at that moment, and finally, she seemed to be crazy, and said: "You don't have to wait for him anymore, he won't come back." After speaking, he jumped out of the summer mansion.
Leaving Xia Furong and Mulian who looked at each other.
And since that day, Xia Peony has never returned to Xia Mansion.
It wasn't until eight years later that she learned that her family had undergone a great upheaval, and that his father, Xia Futai, had offended the court magnates and had his house raided, and finally died of depression. Her younger sister, Xia Furong, was tragically persecuted to death by Liu Yijiao, the county magistrate of Feng County, and He Zhichong, the owner of Perak Hall, and her child was also missing, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
"Where is he now?" Xia Peony asked as she came back to her senses. "It should be in Jining, not long ago, it was spread all over the rivers and lakes, saying that he defeated the Qingming Zhenren of the Qingwei Palace in Wudang Mountain, and now there is news in the rivers and lakes that he has uncovered the true face of Tang Tong of the Tang Gate of Sichuan and Shu, and washed away my innocence with him, so I guess that if he hears about He Zhichong, he will also come to Feng County during this time. Xiaoyaozi said.
