Ruan Xianbei choked on his words.
Even though she thinks she is as cruel and ruthless as she is, she has never looked down upon human life to such an extent.
At least she won't decide the fate of others based on her own preferences. Those who die in her hands are the ones who want her dead.
A few more days passed.
The return journey went smoothly, except for resting at night. The disciples at Lingxiao Villa did not feel uncomfortable with this.
It is said that they returned to the villa to celebrate Mu Huaxiao's birthday in time for his birthday.
This year is Mu Huaxiao’s 48th birthday.
Ruan Xianbei found it strange that Forty-Eight still had to hold a banquet in such a trivial manner? Didn’t the ancients usually hold big banquets on their birthdays?
"This is the date that Master Chen calculated. He said that he will have a good birthday this year and that everything will go smoothly in the future."
Xu Pei seemed to have seen through her inner question and kindly answered it for her.
"Do you want to ask who Daochang Chen is? Oh, I forgot to tell you. Daochang Chen is a very powerful person." Xu Pei said to himself, and Ruan Xianbei's face was pointed out by him. His expressions are not that good.
Although she had questions, she didn't want to appear curious and give Xu Pei the initiative. But these things were very important to her, so she could only go around in circles to get things out of Xu Pei and Ban Meng.
The things Ban Meng knew were too little compared to Xu Pei. It didn't matter to Xu Pei that he knew her purpose. He turned a blind eye to her behavior and pretended he didn't see it.
When he was in a good mood, he would tell Ruan Xianbei a few words, and when he was not in the mood, he would just tease her. For example, like now, he took the initiative to tell Ruan Xianbei the information she wanted to know, but he was afraid that she would not tell her. The key thing about her.
Ruan Xianbei was very annoyed and didn't want to talk to Xu Pei anymore for the time being.
Xu Pei looked at the scenery outside the window and was lost in thought. This section of the road was the most relaxing and enjoyable one for him. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Ruan Xianbei, who was leaning on the carriage with no manners at all. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. If he could help her Just stay by your side forever.
Shen Xuan can do it, why can't he?
At this time, Dao Blade rode up to him and said a few words. The smile on Xu Pei's face became even stronger. He raised the curtain and asked Ruan Xianbei to look out.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Xianbei asked impatiently.
"Someone has been following us, guess who it is?"
"A gangster? A green forest hero? Or a chivalrous and righteous flower-picking thief?" Ruan Xianbei pretended to casually follow and glanced outside. She was half relieved that she could not see the person at all. She was capable of telling nonsense.
Xu Pei found it interesting that he could also say such things as a chivalrous and righteous flower-picking thief. @·No mistake first~~
"When are they going to rescue you?"
"Now?"
Ruan Xianbei glanced outside and saw a flash of cold light, several arrows and feathers, and dozens of men in black rushing out of the grass to attack them.
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect the young master!!!"
The sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air made the disciples of Lingxiao Villa react quickly. They raised their swords and formed a formation to defend and counterattack the man in black.
Xu Pei didn't lower the curtain. He seemed not afraid at all. The attacks of the men in black were obviously concentrated on his carriage. In addition to the people who jumped out, there were others hiding behind and firing arrows. They were outnumbered. There were several This time the arrow feathers were all knocked out when they reached him.
"Half dream."
Ban Meng quickly understood what Xu Pei meant and said, "I'll deal with the people behind."
Banmeng went out with the sword and came back quickly. There was some blood on his clothes. Ruan Xianbei's heart sank. Is he dead?
"One died and the other ran away." Banmeng said, his eyes continuing to focus on the melee on the field.
"Beibei, who are you from?" Xu Pei closed his fan and tapped his palms.
"How do I know? Maybe you are the one who comes to take revenge after you have done too many evil things?"
Xu Pei didn't believe this. Ruan Xianbei didn't care whether he believed it or not. She thought it was someone sent by her brother at first, but after looking at it for a long time, she realized that she didn't know these people at all.
"Sir, it's almost time." A guard said this. Ruan Xianbei didn't know why, but the next second.
She knew what it meant.
"Since Beibei won't go with them, let's go without leaving anyone alive."
As soon as the words were spoken, the originally evenly matched situation in the arena suddenly changed. Lin Shi and his fellow disciples only injured each other and lost their ability to fight, but did not harm their lives. After hearing Xu Pei's words, these guards took action again. Every move is fatal.
A sword seals the throat, which is almost crushing strength.
In a few breaths, more than half of the men in black were killed or injured. The others immediately retreated upon seeing this. Even though the guards were highly skilled in martial arts and left a few more people in the air, the remaining people still ran away.
"Stop chasing, let's set off." Xu Pei ordered. The guards immediately put away their knives. No one collected the bodies, so they continued to move forward on their horses.
Xu Pei said with a smile on his face and a very happy mood: "It seems that they don't really want to rescue you. The people they sent are so weak."
Ruan Xianbei had a dark face and was still a little worried. If Shen Xuan and the others came, would it be dangerous?
Lin Shi was greatly shocked when he saw the guards dispatching some enemies in two or three moves like chopping vegetables without showing mercy at all.
Especially when the guard named Blade flew over and stabbed the man in black who was fighting with him to death, and the blood splashed on his face.
Still warm.
Although Senior Brother Zhao had wiped it off for him just now.
Seeing that Lin Shi had not yet come to his senses, Senior Brother Zhao kindly patted his shoulder and motioned for him to go in and rest while he drove the carriage.
"What's wrong with Junior Brother Lin?"
"Junior brother Lin looks like this, this must be his first time seeing a murder scene..."
"This is my first time..." The young man had a look on his face, as if he was thinking of the past that he couldn't bear to look back on.
"But the blade is too aggressive... At least I should give Junior Brother Lin a preparation."
No young person would like to live alone in the world, but if someone who has never killed a chicken is suddenly told that he intuitively feels the existence of death, he will still feel a little uncomfortable.
Lin Shi's teeth were trembling uncontrollably, and he felt cold all over his body. The blade of the knife could be said to be fast and accurate, but it was only a little bit away from him.
It's so powerful. Why would such a powerful person only be a bodyguard? These guards are more powerful than the disciples who came this time.
Their purpose is not the secret room at all... Do ordinary sects have such powerful guards?
The more Lin Shi thought about it, the more frightened he became. When he was standing there stupidly, DaoBian looked back at him. Why did DaoBian always pay attention to him? If they found out that he had helped the saint, he would definitely die.
No, he couldn't waver, he had to make a decision.
Lin Shi lowered his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that his hands were stained with blood. It was because the man's blood spurted onto his sword and flowed onto his hand——
By the way, where is his sword?
He quickly turned around to look for him. Others thought he was suffering from hysteria. There were many people who quit the sect because they couldn't bear the bloody murders. At the same time, it was not uncommon for people to go crazy because of fear. At this moment, he was just afraid of Lin. Sui went crazy and became possessed.
Lin Shi was pinned down by others, and he asked blankly: "Brother, where is my sword?"
Seeing his eyes gradually regaining clarity, the others also felt relieved. One person pointed to the corner of the car and said, "It's over there."
As long as the sword was not lost, Lin Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically to the senior brothers: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to the senior brothers and making them worried."
"It's okay, it's okay. This is how everyone came here. Just rest today."
"Yes, yes, are you scared? Come on, let me tell you, it was like this when I killed someone for the first time..."
"Killing? Why do you want to kill? I've never even killed a chicken..." Lin Shi looked a little decadent.
The young man hooked his shoulder, handed him a handkerchief to wipe his hands and said, "Because others want to kill me... Junior Brother Lin, I used to think the same as you, I learned martial arts to protect others. Not to kill, but when you are forced into a desperate situation, you will do anything to survive."
"It was a mission. On a dark and stormy night... I helped the local magistrate investigate a kidnapping case..."
"This is a very good beginning! Have you said it many times?"
"Go, go, shut up! Listen to me -"
Several people in the carriage chatted with each other, and the senior brothers all contributed their own embarrassing stories from the past in order to take care of the poor junior brother.
The previous bad atmosphere was quickly swept away.
...
The whereabouts of Shen Xuan and the others were indeed discovered by Xu Pei's bodyguards. Originally, the two teams kept a distance, but after being discovered, they followed them directly.
We are all disciples of famous families, and this road was not opened by your family. If you have a clear conscience, do you care who follows you and who does not?
But just when they were about to speed up to follow, the accident suddenly happened in front of them. Shen Xuan and the others stopped, and Wei Ke, who had been acting alone, also appeared.
"Who are these people?" Wei Ke asked with a frown. Where did this group of people appear from?
"Not yours?" Shen Xuan asked.
"Me? Are our people so bad? I thought they were your people?"
Shen Xuan said expressionlessly: "Our people will not be stupid enough to die like this."
"Send to death?" Cheng Suisui, who heard their discussion, stood up and took a look. How do you say send to death? She looks pretty evenly matched.
"Miss Cheng, please wait and see." Wei Ke's attitude towards the girl was not that good at all.
As he spoke, the situation in front of him changed instantly. The sharp sword looked more like a well-trained killer than a guard.
"Does that person look like someone from the 19th floor?" Shen Xuan looked at Wei Ke for a while and said.
"What's that guard you mean? What's his name? Oh, right blade." Wei Ke looked at it again and said, "When you say that, it does sound a bit like it. Did Mu Huaxiao reach an agreement with the Nineteenth Floor? Really? interesting."
"But the killers on the 19th floor are all in the dark. They rarely appear in the sun like this."
"So this person is very skilled, and he doesn't obey Xu Pei's orders. He doesn't have any respectful attitude toward Xu Pei. Instead, he acts like an equal."
Shen Xuan frowned: "We can't let her go to Lingxiao Villa, it's too dangerous. I've contacted her and I'm ready to take action at any time."
"You said you're going to do it? I don't want to leave my good hand there."
After Wei Ke said this for two or three times, he disappeared.
The others looked at each other in confusion. Anyway, they didn't understand what they were saying, so they just followed orders. .
