After sighing for a moment or two, Xu Huaigu turned to the wooden building and knocked on the door. Soon there were footsteps inside, and then the door opened with a bang. It was Li Siqing standing inside the door, holding a sword in one hand and looking out of the door with half-squinted eyes, looking very alert.
Li Siqing originally thought that some sect brother was looking for him, so he brought a sword with him to defend himself. After all, there were many people who came to his house to fight with him in the past few days.
However, when he opened the door and saw Xu Huaigu standing outside, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Brother Xu, why is it you! When did you come to Qingfeng Valley, you didn't tell me in advance , please come in!" Xu Huaigu glanced down at the sword in his hand, and smiled meaningfully: "I'm afraid it's not easy to enter your house." Only then did Li Siqing realize that he opened the door for him with a sword. It seemed inappropriate, so he quickly put the sword behind his back and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Didn't I know you were here? You don't know the recent situation in this sect. You are always treating me." Unfriendly, everyone seems to want to eat me. I also have to be careful, fearing that as soon as I open the door, I will be slashed with a sword. Wouldn't I never see Brother Xu again?" Xu Huaigu ignored him. With a glib tongue, he only laughed twice and said as he walked into the wooden building: "I already saw this in the restaurant last night." Li Siqing asked Xu Huaigu to sit down at the table, and Ruyu followed him in quietly. He sat down aside and said nothing.
Then Li Siqing went to bring a few more glasses of water, put one cup each in front of Xu Huaigu and Ruyu, put a cup in front of himself, and said with a smile: "Drink tea, drink tea." Xu Huaigu looked down and calmly put the water cup in front of him. Pushing forward, he said: "You and I are just going to drink these things when we meet? Don't you order anything else to entertain the guests?" Of course Li Siqing knew what Xu Huaigu was referring to, so he smiled and said with some embarrassment: "It's so early in the morning, it's easy to drink. I'll drink with you later tonight." Xu Huaigu laughed evilly twice and said, "What's the mistake?" Li Siqing only said, "It's important to practice." Xu Huaigu's smile became more meaningful and he said, "I already said it. , I have already been to the restaurant last night, and I have also met Valley Master Xie. Tell me honestly, is there anything else you are hiding from me? If you don’t tell me this, is it enough for you to be a brother?" Li Siqing rolled his eyes, Knowing that Xu Huaigu already knew everything, he could only smile frankly and said: "It's not a big deal. It's just becoming a Taoist couple with An Xiaoyu. It's nothing. How can it be as important as drinking and chatting between us brothers? So when I met When you come here, the first thing that comes to your mind is to have a good get-together with Brother Xu and have a chat first. It doesn’t matter if we wait until we finish talking. It can’t compare to our brotherhood anyway.” Xu Huaigu looked at him sideways and shook his head. He shook his head and said with a smile: "You dare to say this in front of An Xiaoyu, then I will consider you a true hero." Li Siqing slapped his chest and immediately said with pride: "I'm kidding, who am I, Li Siqing, am I still afraid of her?" ? I have always valued brotherly loyalty the most, nothing else can compare with it, and you know it too!" Xu Huaigu saw that his boasting was a bit too much, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "Okay Come on, stop bragging, don’t I know your virtue? It’s better to live in peace if you get an advantage, how many people are jealous behind your back." Li Siqing smiled proudly and said nothing.
Xu Huaigu asked him with a smile: "How did you win it? Tell me carefully?" Li Siqing smiled and said: "With my appearance and character, how can I win it? She has admired me for a long time, so I reluctantly agreed. It's as simple as marrying her." Xu Huaigu pursed his lips, shook his head, raised his legs to leave, and said, "I'm asking you sincerely, if you talk like that again, I'll leave." Li Siqing hurriedly grabbed him, He lowered his head and thought about it, then smiled and said truthfully: "If you want to hear it, I'll tell you. In fact, it's not complicated to say, it's very simple. It's just that we went to the border together on behalf of Qingfeng Valley, and we went back and forth. I'm familiar with her. You said, this person's relationship is also strange, but if you get along with her day and night for a few days and say a few more words, you will feel some attachment in your heart. I don't know if this counts as liking, but in short, getting along with her It's quite pleasant, and she and I have similar ideas. We sword cultivators don't like to beat around the bush. After we explained to each other that we knew each other, we just did it." Li Siqing scratched his head and said with some distress: "Originally, neither of us wanted to Zhang Yang, but An Xiaoyu is a direct descendant after all, and the Valley Master can't hide from him. She went to tell the Valley Master about the matter, but she didn't expect that the Valley Master immediately started to publicize it, and now everyone in the sect Everyone knows it, and it caused quite a commotion. Not only me, but she also regretted telling the Valley Master about it." Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "So, it's your Valley Master's fault, right?"
"It can't be said that it's her fault, but we don't think it's necessary. Originally we just wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems like we've been too showy and pretentious." Xu Huaigu advised: "Now the demon clan thing is really going on. Fierce, your sect must have been depressed before. She just wants to use this matter to liven up the atmosphere in the sect, so you should be more patient. As the leader of such a large sect, she has to consider the sect in everything. It's not easy." Li Siqing nodded and said: "I know that the Valley Master has indeed lost a lot of weight these days, which is all caused by worrying about those things. It sounds depressing. We also got news some time ago. It is said that Xingqing Capital It was captured by the demon clan. I wonder if it is true or not?" Xu Huaigu sighed and nodded: "It is true. Around the New Year's Eve, the demon clan captured Xingqing, and the Dayu Kingdom was already destroyed." Li Siqing frowned and said, "Sooner or later, the demon tribe will attack our sect. What will we do then?" Xu Huaigu waved his hand and said, "It's not easy to meet, let's not talk about these things for now. Something else." Li Siqing also felt that mentioning the demon clan was a bit boring, so he asked: "Where's Yu Qin, you two have been walking together, why don't you see her? Could it be that you went back to Fuyao Sect first?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said: " No, she is in seclusion in the bamboo building where we live and is about to break through the fifth realm. I’m afraid you won’t be able to see her in a month or two.”
"The fifth realm is a key realm. Have you chosen the flying sword of your life?"
"There is an immortal weapon that has been with her for two or three years. It is almost ready for refinement." Li Siqing said with some envy: "As expected of the person next to you, you can have the first immortal weapon in the five realms." The natal flying sword is quite generous. Now that I have managed to reach the seventh realm, I still have a high-quality magical sword with me." Xu Huaigu smiled, changed the subject, and said: "I heard that Liu Waner returned to the clan? How about she learn swordsmanship in Middle-earth?" When talking about Liu Waner, even Li Siqing felt a little proud. He said proudly: "It's amazing, Middle-earth is really much better than our East Fuyao Continent. She is now in the Seventh Realm, although the realm is Not that high, but how many years has she seriously studied swordsmanship? She has only half the time to learn swordsmanship than me, but her level is the same as mine. Furthermore, even if the level is the same, I am far from her opponent. Her swordsmanship The Sword Intent is different from ours in Qingfeng Valley. It is said that it has integrated the essence of several great sword sects in Middle-earth. It is much higher than me. Even the owner of the valley commented that it has "the talent to create". ." Capital for creation?
That's really unusual. There are many swordsmanships in the world, and it is easy to learn swordsmanship, but it is extremely difficult to create your own swordsmanship.
Every swordsman who can truly have his own unique swordsmanship and swordsmanship is at least the master of a sect, and the inheritance of many ancient sects comes from this.
Xu Huaigu felt happy for her from the bottom of his heart, nodded and smiled: "That is indeed a good thing."
"And I think our Valley Master looks like he wants to give her the position of the next Valley Master. But it is true that among the younger generation in Qingfeng Valley now, in terms of qualifications and wisdom, Liu Waner is the best. Now The position of Valley Master is hers, and everyone is convinced." When Xu Huaigu heard this, he frowned and asked, "Is she willing?" Li Siqing was a little surprised and said, "Then why is she not willing? We in Qingfeng Valley Among the sword sects in East Fuyao Continent, they are not ranked first, but there are definitely others who are second or third. The leader of such a large sect, no matter how many people ask for it, they still can’t get it!" Xu Huaigu said worriedly: "You I don’t know her well, but I’m afraid she’s not happy in her heart. Even if she agrees, she’s just unwilling to live up to Senior Xie’s expectations.” Li Siqing couldn’t quite understand, so she had to ask: “Are you going to see her then?” Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "I will definitely meet her, but I don't know where she lives yet." Li Siqing smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. Since you want to see her, I will help you contact her. An Xiaoyu is good with her. , in my opinion, why don't we make an appointment to have a drink in a restaurant, and if we have any questions, we can naturally talk about it at the wine table." Xu Huaigu was keenly aware of the deep meaning of his words, so he smiled and said : "You can't even feel comfortable drinking now? Is it because she doesn't allow you to drink, so she insists on using my name?" Li Siqing frowned and said solemnly: "How is that possible! I, Li Siqing..." Before he could finish his words, , only to hear another knock on the door of the wooden building, interrupting him, and Li Siqing had to stand up and open the door.
Of course, I didn't forget to pick up the sword before I opened the door.
"Li Siqing, there is a guest at home? Why did I hear who you were talking to?" A cold female voice came from outside the door. Xu Huaigu knew it was An Xiaoyu as soon as he heard it. Li Siqing hurriedly threw the sword aside, and then quickly Stepping forward and opening the door, he said with a smile on his face: "Why are you here so early?" An Xiaoyu ignored his polite words, only took off the scabbard from his waist, and slowly walked into the building. There are two people sitting at the table.
When he looked carefully, it was Xu Huaigu and Ruyu, and he was a little surprised. He said, "Xu Huaigu, when did you come?" Xu Huaigu stood up and said with a polite smile: "I just came yesterday. Isn't this why I came to see you?" Li Siqing also laughed in agreement: "Yes, yes, Brother Xu has just arrived here not long ago. I was planning to call you at home, but I didn't expect you to come first." Xu Huaigu looked at the two of them each and smiled. .
An Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed and sat down at the table. She took a careful look at the teacups in front of them. It was filled with water, not drinking, and then she smiled and said, "It's rare." Li Siqing brought another cup of tea and placed it in front of An Xiaoyu, then sat back down. He stayed in his original position and said with a smile: "I also said that it is rare for Brother Xu to come to Qingfeng Valley. We, as hosts, must entertain him well." An Xiaoyu smiled and said nothing.
Xu Huaigu joked and said, "When are you two going to hold a wedding, so I can quickly give away the money. If I wait a few more days, I'm afraid I won't have any money left. It's better to hurry up and hold the wedding." , we also moved in together to make room for our disciples from outside the mountain." An Xiaoyu blushed a little, but Li Siqing smiled and said: "This matter is not our responsibility, it is all decided by the Valley Master. February 2 , Long raised his head, she said it was a good day." Today is already the 29th of the first lunar month, so counting, it is only three or four days.
Xu Huaigu was naturally happy to see the two of them getting married, so he said a few congratulations sincerely. Ruyu, who had been silent, also followed Xu Huaigu's example and congratulated the two of them, which surprised them.
A few people chatted some more indifferent gossip, and Li Siqing took the opportunity to say: "Brother Xu finally came to our valley, and Liu Waner just happened to be back. I was thinking that you should tell her and make an appointment with her today or tomorrow. Wouldn't it be nice to go to a restaurant to have a drink together at night and reminisce about old friendships?" After hearing this, An Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell her. Let's set the date for tomorrow night. We still have to do it today. Go to the Valley Master, have you forgotten?" Li Siqing patted his head and said suddenly: "Exactly, I almost forgot. Let's do it tomorrow night. Are Brother Xu free?" After they agreed on a time, Xu Huaigu said goodbye and left.
Li Siqing tried to persuade him to stay with him for a while, but Xu Huaigu knew that it was time for the two of them to be alone, so he wisely refused to stay and left anyway.
The scenery in the mountains of Qingfeng Valley is beautiful. Xu Huaigu left Li Siqing's wooden house and did not immediately return to his bamboo house. Instead, he wandered around in the mountains.
Ruyu followed him, breathing in the breath of the mountain, and he felt much more relaxed. The two walked for a while, and Ruyu felt uncomfortable. She turned her head several times and looked behind her, only to see that the mountain road was empty and there was no one there, which made her even more suspicious.
He quickened his pace and walked to Xu Huaigu and whispered: "Sir, it seems that someone is following us." Xu Huaigu's steps were still unhurried and he said calmly: "She has been following us since we left Li Siqing's house."
"It turns out that sir has known about it for a long time, so why didn't he find her out?"
"There's no rush, let's see what her purpose is. It's not good to scare the snake." Xu Huaigu continued to walk up the mountain to enjoy the scenery. Ruyu frowned and continued to follow Xu Huaigu, but she also became more and more concerned about the person following them. Pay attention.
