Cai Zhao: "..."
The other three reacted when they heard this, shouting one after another——
"Senior Brother Chang, regardless of past grievances, took the risk to save us from danger. He is so kind and righteous."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.sen. From now on, Senior Brother Chang will be my reborn parents. I want to set up an immortal tablet for Senior Brother Chang, uuuuuuuu..."
"A benevolent and righteous gentleman like Senior Brother Chang is simply the mainstay of my righteousness! I used to be a beast, no, worse than a beast, and I dare to be disrespectful to Senior Brother Chang!" The last person was afraid that the atmosphere was not enough, so he slapped his mouth. Come.
Cai Zhao had a sullen face and suddenly turned away without saying a word.
Chang Ning hurriedly caught up, tilted his head on the girl's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Zhao Zhao, don't be angry. It's just because I thought of your words that I didn't really throw them away."
Cai Zhao suddenly became discouraged and felt that life was really difficult. It was miserable enough to travel far away from home to become a disciple, but God gave her a Chang Ning who was either causing trouble or was about to cause trouble.
She stopped and stood on a wooden bridge above a ravine: "You really have to stop. My aunt said that the most tragic thing in the world is that the victim becomes the target of public criticism because of excessive revenge. Thousands of people blamed and reviled me.”
Chang Ning nodded: "I know, they are the last four outer disciples, and there is no one else."
"As long as you know, calm down quickly. Master has already gone up the mountain. When he comes back from Uncle Li at the outer gate, Qi Lingbo will definitely complain to Master. You should watch your skin carefully!"
Chang Ning moved her long eyelashes imperceptibly, "Okay, I understand."
Cai Zhaosong sighed and walked down the wooden bridge in a few steps. He noticed that there were no footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw that Chang Ning was still standing in the middle of the bridge arch. She asked curiously: "Why don't you leave?"
Chang Ning stood on a high place and smiled slightly in the mountain breeze: "The minions have been dealt with, and the culprit has not been punished yet. Zhao Zhao will go back to Qingjingzhai first, and I will go back as soon as I go." As he said that, he waved his palm and slapped the wooden bridge with fierce energy. Under the heavy hammer blow, the wooden bridge cracked from the middle, and then the front and rear ends of the wooden bridge cracked and shattered, and the wooden fragments fell into the deep ravine one after another.
At the same time, Chang Ning flew up and jumped up, his movements light and ethereal, like a free blue cloud rising and falling leisurely, and then settling on the ground on the other side.
"..." Cai Zhao was dumbfounded and didn't react until the entire wooden bridge fell. "You, where are you going? Are you going to find Qi Lingbo? Don't go crazy! Come back quickly, come back quickly!"
Chang Ning waved to her from a distance and left quickly.
Cai Zhao anxiously walked back and forth on the edge of the deep ravine. She couldn't jump across such a wide distance in one go. It would be nice to have a long whip or a long rope to lend her a little strength, but she had grown up in Luoying Town since she was a child. I have never been accustomed to carrying weapons with me.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided that she would rather spend more time and take a detour to get to Qi Lingbo's residence, Xianyu Linglong Residence, as soon as possible.
After bypassing the deep ravine and moving forward along the hillside, I saw from a distance that the fairy jade exquisite residence, woven with gold and covered with silver, was already blazing with flames - the Yin family's private guards stained with blood were holding their arms. With their bellies or arms held in their hands, they were lying on the ground mournfully. The maidservants and children who had been burned before they could escape were leaning on the edge of the pool and wailing, while the unaffected hands were busy carrying water to put out the fire.
Cai Zhao carefully stepped over the charred tree branches on the ground and stood helplessly looking at the chaos around him.
Then she grabbed the maid who was passing by and asked, "Is this the fire set by Chang Ning?"
The little maid said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's Young Master Chang! He knocked over all the guards as soon as he came! He asked the young lady to come out, but when she didn't come out, he couldn't help but set the fire on fire, saying that he would force the young lady to come out!"
Cai Zhao: "Where is Senior Sister Lingbo now?"
"Master Dai took the young lady out of the back door, and Master Chang chased her all the way!" The little maid was already crying in fright.
Cai Zhao let go of the maid, picked up a intact green sword from the ground, raised his energy and ran away in the direction pointed by the maid.
…
Chuitianwu, under the green gauze corridor.
The handsome and heroic young man was sitting on the bamboo couch, carefully wiping his beloved sword 'Kunpeng'.
The attendant whispered back: "Sir, there seems to be a fire in the direction of Xianyu Linglong Residence. Won't you go take a look?"
Song Yuzhi: "No need."
The attendant patiently said again: "I heard that Mr. Tian Ning made a lot of trouble outside the house a few days ago. Will he go to find trouble for Miss Lingbo?"
Song Yuzhi didn't even raise his head: "So what if I go look for it."
"Sir, Miss Lingbo is yours after all..."
Song Yuzhi put down the snow-white flannel and said, "Ling Bo has acted inappropriately for many years and should have been taught a lesson. Anyway, she won't listen to a word of my words, so why not ask Brother Chang Shi to do it for you."
Attendant: "I just hope Mr. Chang will not go too far, otherwise he will be severely punished."
"Not necessarily." Song Yuzhi, "For the sake of Old Sect Master Yin, Ling Bo has done wrong things for many years, and Master has always been unable to punish him properly. Likewise, for the sake of the deceased Chang Daxia, Chang Ning did something wrong, can master really punish the orphan of the Chang family severely?"
The attendant couldn't help but said: "Old Sect Leader Yin is your grandfather, Young Master."
"I know." Song Yuzhi raised his sword and looked at it carefully, thinking to himself, "They say that beauties match heroes, but in fact the Qingque Sect's surname is not Yin, and the next leader of the Qingque Sect does not necessarily have to marry the daughter of the previous leader. . But my grandfather’s reputation is too high and he has been in charge of the sect for too long, so everyone has forgotten this."
…
Cai Zhao walked across the pavilions and pavilions all the way to the edge of a large lake. He saw sword lights flying and two figures fighting in full swing.
Qi Lingbo was lying on the side dripping wet, looking at the two of them with tearful eyes. She was wearing Dai Fengchi's robe, and her face was covered with mud.
Dai Fengchi, nicknamed "Wind Chasing Swordsman", has a commendable quality with his Meteor Wind Chasing Sword, which is about being as fast as the wind and as brilliant as a meteor in the moment of his move. This time, Chang Ning did not respond with a branch, but snatched the green sword from the guard and ran forward. It was still the Chang family's "catkin sword technique", as light and soft as willow silk.
There is no superiority or inferiority between the two sword techniques. However, before Cai Zhao could rush to his side, Chang Ning suddenly drew out his sword and struck Dai Fengchi on his left shoulder. The speed of the sword was as fast as that of Meteor Chai Feng. Dai Fengchi groaned and staggered two steps. Chang Ning immediately struck out with his right palm, and Dai Fengchi was knocked several steps away. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Chang Ning took a step forward and pointed his sword at Dai Qi and Dai Qi: "When you asked me to bark like a dog, did you ever think that this day would happen!"
Qi Lingbo shouted angrily: "You kicked me into the lake and humiliated me with lake mud. What are you going to do now? You can't kill someone without a nod. If you have the ability, just kill me!"
Chang Ning chuckled lightly: "You both saw what Wu Yuanying looked like that day. What's the pleasure in killing you? The pleasure is in making you feel uncomfortable!"
The tragedy of Wu Yuanying's situation was deeply engraved in everyone's hearts like a nightmare.
Qi Lingbo was so frightened that he couldn't even speak properly: "You...what are you going to do...my father will not let you go!"
"That's right, looking at Sect Leader Qi's face, I really can't kill you two." Chang Ning nodded, and as he spoke, he swung his sword out, following Qi Lingbo's exclamation, the sword light went straight towards her face.
Seeing Fairy Lingbo's face blooming, she heard a clear sound of swords clashing - Cai Zhaofei turned sideways and raised his sword, able to hold Chang Ning's swift blow away.
Chang Ning returned his sword and took a step back, smiling: "Zhao Zhao came so quickly, the Feihua Crossing in Luoying Valley is indeed amazing."
Almost as soon as they stepped back and forth, the other inner disciples and guards rushed over and saw Cai Zhao standing in front of Dai Qi and Dai Qi with a sword. The girl was as beautiful as a flower and her sword was as cold as ice.
Everyone has seen what Chang Ning is capable of, and no one dares to step forward.
Cai Zhao said word by word: "Senior Brother Chang, I just said that it's time for you to stop."
Chang Ning calmed down: "Zhaozhao doesn't want to imitate those common people and come and talk to me about the nonsense of 'if you haven't really been harmed, you shouldn't care about it.' I don't really imitate a dog who crawls in the mire and eats dog shit and has his heart blood taken away." , that was my luck, not Qi Lingbo and others who were moved by compassion and showed mercy."
He waved his sword in front of him and said in a cold voice, "Since it hurts people's hearts, let's treat them as harm. Why can't I take revenge?!"
Cai Zhao sighed slightly: "Brother Chang Shi, I have said everything that needs to be said. Besides, you are so smart, and you know some truths without me telling you. 'Intentional harm to others' is indeed abominable, but after all, it is not the same as 'harming others'." It’s different. You should seek justice, but excessive revenge is too much.”
"Is this what your aunt taught you?" Chang Ning looked sideways at her with a cold smile, "No wonder your aunt, who was so good at martial arts, only ended up lying in bed for more than ten years and died miserably. I don't want to learn from her. I advise you. Don’t imitate her! Isn’t it better to be free and happy in the world than to be constrained all the time by carrying the name of a benevolent hero?”
Cai Zhao's face turned cold: "You and I made an agreement on the first day we met. Now you don't need my protection anymore, so you dare to talk about my aunt?!"
Chang Ning couldn't hide the wickedness in his eyes and laughed: "Zhao Zhao, don't be angry. I shouldn't talk about your aunt. You can punish me no matter what you want when you go back... Just ask me to take another breath!"
As soon as he said it, Chang Ning turned around and spit out a message with his side sword like a snake. He bypassed Cai Zhao and still went straight to Qi Lingbo's face.
Amidst Qi Lingbo's screams, Cai Zhao turned over his wrist and struck away Chang Ning's sword, then rushed forward. But in one breath, the two swords clanged and struck more than ten times. The swords of Chang and Cai were so fast that no one could see clearly.
Cai Zhao once heard Cai Pingshu say that the Chang family's Catkin Sword Technique was light and airy, leaving no trace when coming and going. The most powerful one was the "entanglement" technique. Once one's own weapons were entangled, they would be defeated. Therefore, from the very beginning, Cai Zhao swung his sword extremely fast, trying to get the first move and not let Chang Ning's sword net entangle him.
After just seven or eight moves, Cai Zhao noticed that Chang Ning's left hand seemed a little sluggish, as if she was not yet proficient in swordsmanship, and also seemed to be weak, so she found an opening and quickly stabbed with her sword——
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
One drop, two drops of bright red blood fell on the snow-white jade lake steps.
Chang Ning lowered his head in confusion, and the girl's sharp sword stabbed him in the left shoulder.
It doesn't penetrate deeply and doesn't hurt very much. he thinks.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but started talking lightly——
"Junior sister Cai is so powerful! I didn't even see how she drew her sword just now."
"Whoever the hell tells me again that the Cai family is in decline and there is no one left in Luoying Valley, I will slap him!"
"I think Mr. Chang is showing mercy..."
"Don't flatter yourselves. Seven or eight of you brothers were knocked to the ground by Mr. Chang's sleeve, and you couldn't even get up. Now you're looking for face, right?"
"Fortunately, Senior Brother Dai did not insist on competing with Junior Sister Cai."
"Hehehe, if you don't tell me, I haven't thought of it yet..."
"Don't laugh, Young Master Chang is so vindictive. Now that he's seen blood, he doesn't know how to end it."
The sword edge that pierced the flesh was suddenly withdrawn, bringing out a line of blood again.
"Are you crazy enough?" Cai Zhao tried hard to breathe evenly and prevent the sword in her hand from shaking - this was the first time she had hurt someone.
"Senior Sister Lingbo bullied you, but the maids and servants in the center of Xianyu Linglong did not. When you set off the fire, you implicated and burned many people! You have been wronged, and if you want revenge, don't you have to take care of the innocent?!"
The girl's voice trembled slightly, but she still insisted, "Someone does evil, and then you do double the evil in order to get revenge. Transform yourself into the same person as the person you once hated - I look down on such people."
With a snapping sound, Chang Ning gently threw the sword in his hand to the ground, then covered the wound on his shoulder, his long eyelashes drooping, and the wild and violent aura around him disappeared for a moment.
Cai Zhao felt lighthearted, relaxed his tense body, and threw away the long sword. The blood on the tip of the sword drew a thin red line on the white jade steps.
She composed herself, walked slowly to Chang Ning, pulled up his sleeve, "Let's go, go home and have soup."
Chang Ning looked down at the white little hand on his sleeve, just like that day when the girl Qi Yun Ketuo took care of him in Muwei Palace. He responded in a low voice, "Yeah."
Everyone stared blankly at the two of them leaving.
"This, is it over?"
"Otherwise, don't you think it's chaotic enough?"
"But that's not right! Before Senior Sister Lingbo could do anything to him, the man named Chang caused chaos in the world. Now they are all drawing their swords and seeing red, but he just walked away like nothing happened?"
"Let's go, let's go. Fortunately, Junior Sister Cai can still restrain him. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, we will have to go and help - do you want to be beaten by him again?!"
…
Song Yuzhi stood on the porch and looked at the sky. There was a gentle breeze and the sky was beautiful.
He smiled and said: "The weather tomorrow will be better than today, so it's time to move."
Chapter 27
Back at Qingjingzhai, Cai Zhao personally bandaged Chang Ning's wounds.
The loose robe fell down to the shoulders, revealing the young man's well-structured chest and back, with broad and powerful shoulder bones and strong and well-proportioned muscles. Cai Zhao changed several handkerchiefs in succession, and finally applied medicine and bandages.
Cai Zhao originally wanted to retire after his success, but seeing Chang Ning sitting on the recliner with his clothes open and lost in thought, she sighed and leaned down to straighten his clothes.
