Xu Huaigu nodded and looked up out of the window, only to see that the moonlight was already dark. The moonlight outside the window was like water. He stood up and walked to the window, only to see Fang He still quietly taking care of the small flowerbed.
Fang He took a small watering pot, fetched water from the stream, and slowly poured it on the flowers and plants.
Judging from her serious expression, she was very interested in these flowers and plants. Zhao Liuping walked to Xu Huaigu's side, looked at Fang He tenderly, and said, "Look, what a good child. As long as she can live a good life, no matter how much hardship I endure, no matter how much I violate the rules of the world, All willingly." Xu Huaigu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, where is Sect Master Fang? Why is it so late and he hasn't come back yet?" Zhao Liuping replied: "He is still on the top of the mountain, busy. Things about the sect. In fact, there is another secret in Bailiang Mountain. That secret is the reason why we finally decided to build the sect on Bailiang Mountain. Tonight, Mr. Xu and I hit it off as old friends. After talking so much, I also regard you as my confidant. I don't think I need to hide this matter from you. If you are curious, you can go up the mountain and find Fang Shengming, and you will know then." Xu Huaigu looked at Zhao Liuping, smiled, and said, "Since Madam regards me as a confidant , I am willing to believe Madam because you think so highly of me, Mr. Xu. There are some things that I don’t want to hide from Madam. By the way, Madam, have you really never heard of my name before?” Zhao Liuping felt strange and asked doubtfully: "Where do you start talking about this? Is it possible that we have met before and I should know you?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and continued: "Madam, you might as well try to read my name and see if it sounds familiar." Zhao Liuping smiled slightly He frowned, lowered his head and muttered: "Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu... this name..." Seeing that she hadn't remembered it yet, Xu Huaigu was still confused.
Hasn't his bad reputation spread to this small place? Suddenly, Zhao Liuping was startled, raised his head, looked at Xu Huaigu in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice: "Xu Huaigu... it's you, are you the natural sword fetus of Dong Fuyao Continent?!" Xu Huaigu then smiled, Said: "Sure enough, Madam has heard of my name. But you must not have paid attention when I said it for the first time." Zhao Liuping looked at the swordsman in front of him in disbelief, and the various rumors he had heard before gradually gradually It became familiar again in my mind.
Xu Huaigu, after the death of Su Wei, a new sword-born child was born in East Fuyao Continent. Although he is extremely talented, it is said that he has a huge connection with the demon clan. On the ferry from East Fuyao Island to Feiyu Island, he colluded with the whale demon in the sea in order to seize the goods on the ferry, killing a lot of people on the ferry. , Nine Realm monk Fan Chen also died under his calculations.
Zhao Liuping has indeed heard a lot about these notorious reputations in the past two years. At that time, she was not ashamed of this person. Although she was a real monster, she had never done anything so evil.
But Xu Huaigu betrayed his own race and killed many people just for his own selfish desires. Such a person is really abominable.
However, the swordsman in front of him was completely different from the image in the rumors. He was gentle, polite, and kind to others. Zhao Liuping could not connect him with the rumored Xu Huaigu.
Xu Huaigu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Looking at Madam's expression, you must have heard a lot about my deeds?" Zhao Liuping looked at Xu Huaigu in confusion, as if hesitating and said nothing.
Xu Huaigu then said: "If I tell Madam, those rumors about me are actually fabricated, and I was just plotted against, will Madam believe me?" Zhao Liuping looked at Xu Huaigu's eyes for a long time, and then He nodded solemnly and said, "I believe you." At this moment, Xu Huaigu seemed to have put down a heavy shackle in his heart, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he had been worried. Although he was not the one who killed everyone on the ferry, he was also afraid of the result if no one in the world was willing to believe him.
But now, in this faraway land, there is a person he met by chance who is willing to believe in him. For him, this is actually not a trivial matter.
This is actually a kind of compensation for his state of mind. Xu Huaigu urgently needs this now. Xu Huaigu bowed deeply to Zhao Liuping and said, "Madam is willing to believe in me. Mr. Xu is very grateful. Madam regards me as a confidant, and I also regard Madam as a good friend. If anything happens in the future, I will do my best." Help." Zhao Liuping took a look at Xu Huaigu, thinking that this person turned out to be the legendary sword-born child, and she felt a sense of surprise in her heart.
After all, for the people of Feiyuzhou, what is linked to the four words "Innate Sword Fetus" is not only the ninth realm or even higher cultivation sooner or later, but also a person's name - Su Wei.
If we can win over a born swordsman, the sect's future will be promising. But she also knew that it was definitely unrealistic to want such a person to be a disciple of her sect, so Zhao Liuping said half-jokingly: "By the way, if you really appreciate me and treat me as a friend, why don't you think about it?" Our sect should be a name worshiper?" Xu Huaigu smiled bitterly and said: "Madam is joking. With my current reputation, if I were to be a name in your sect, everyone would probably stay away from me. But it doesn't work on the surface, secretly if Madam If anything happens, I can still help Madam." Zhao Liuping agreed. It was already a great joy to get the promise of such a promising swordsman. She didn't dare to have any other ideas, otherwise If so, good things may turn into bad things.
The conversation between the two after that was nothing more than trivial matters. As the night went on, Fang He returned to the attic. Xu Huaigu was still curious about what secrets there were on the top of Bailiang Mountain. Zhao Liuping still asked him to go up the mountain to see with his own eyes.
By the way, he wanted to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, so he planned to set out at night to find Fang Shengming first and then climb to the top of Bailiang Mountain.
While Fang He was still in the room, Zhao Liuping did not go with Xu Huaigu. So Xu Huaigu walked out of the small attic alone in the middle of the night and headed for the top of the mountain.
As soon as he walked out of the small attic door, he took out a messenger flying sword from his sleeve, said a few words to the flying sword, and the flying sword flew from his hand, turned into a stream of light, and faced Su Changcheng. go.
When he went out this morning, he said that he would be back at night. Judging from his appearance now, he probably would have to wait until the next day.
So I sent a letter back to Gu Sanyue to tell her not to worry. The mountains and forests are quiet at night, the moonlight is cold and misty.
Xu Huaigu stepped on the soft soil and walked slowly towards the top of the mountain, thinking about Fang Shengming. According to what Zhao Liuping said just now, Fang Shengming is a very talkative person, and his temper is very similar to that of Xu Huaigu. The two of them might get along very well.
All in all, Xu Huaigu now has a very good impression of Zhao Liuping. It depends on what kind of person Fang Shengming is.
Xu Huaigu was also very happy to be able to make some strangers in this arena. ...Beside a huge rock on the top of Bailiang Mountain, a cave entrance with about one person entering and exiting stood quietly.
Under the moonlight, the cave was pitch black, like a starless night sky, with a strange and mysterious feeling.
There was a lot of wet soil piled up beside the entrance of the cave, indicating that the entrance to the cave was newly excavated. Several footprints were visible in the soil, suggesting that there was someone in the cave.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded in the cave. Beside a giant tree not far from the cave entrance, a middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the cave entrance with some expectation in his eyes.
The man standing by the tree was dressed in black, with thick eyebrows and thick eyes, and he was breathing heavily. He was a martial artist of high level.
Looking carefully at this time, it was Du Chongyang, the warrior guarding the sect's forbidden area under the waterfall today.
After reading, he walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave and asked eagerly: "Sect Master, have you found that thing?" At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the entrance of the cave.
The man had a slight beard, wore a green shirt, had a straight nose, and had resolute eyes. Although he was already over 40 years old, his energy was very good, and he was considered a handsome and handsome man.
This person is Fang Shengming, the leader of the Fang clan mentioned by Du Chongyang. He walked out of the cave with a smile, took out a small piece of dark yellow stuff from his hand, handed it to Du Chongyang, and said with a smile: "The hard work pays off, we have found it. With this This thing will definitely help the sect's future development!" Du Chongyang looked at the thing and immediately beamed with joy, laughing and saying: "It's really great, it seems that God is going to help my sect!" Fang Shengming put his index finger to his mouth, made a silent gesture, and said: "Since this matter has been settled, let's not be in a hurry. Anyway, this thing will not run away on Bailiang Mountain. The most important thing is The most important thing is to keep the news. Only you and I, and Ping'er know about this matter now, and we must not leak anything to outsiders." Du Chongyang nodded several times, looked at the dark hole, and raised his head unconsciously. He raised his lips and smiled.
Fang Shengming smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Okay, this matter is over for now. Thank you for staying with me. Now go back and have a good rest. Instruct the people on the mountainside to keep an eye on the top of the mountain. Qian Don't let outsiders go up the mountain." Du Chongyang said hello and was about to go down the mountain when Fang Shengming's expression suddenly changed and he suddenly looked towards a forest at the foot of the mountain with a serious look on his face.
Du Chongyang was anxious and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" Fang Shengming looked serious and whispered: "Someone is coming up the mountain." Du Chongyang's heart suddenly stirred up a storm, and he said in surprise: "How is this possible? This big He must have some conspiracy to come up the mountain in the middle of the night! Could it be that the news was leaked?" Fang Shengming's eyes became fierce and he said decisively: "No matter who he is, the secrets in this cave will never be given away to others. Since he If you dare to break through and challenge the majesty of my sect, try your best to catch them first, or kill them if you can't." Du Chongyang also sighed, nodded, walked a few steps to the other side, hid behind a tree, and separated from Fang Shengming He came and hid in the darkness, watching the direction of the people coming down the mountain.
