Su Jingchen looked at Si Kong and asked, "Si Kong, do you want to participate in tomorrow's sword trial?"
Si Bai said: "I am no different from a blind man now, what can you expect from me?"
Sikong Lingzhu looked at Su Jingchen and said, "Su Jingchen, will you compete tomorrow?"
Su Jingchen shook his head, shrugged, and said, "I'm not qualified to participate. My weapon is a fire-eating wheel. Hey, tomorrow's competition has nothing to do with me."
Sikong Lingzhu said worriedly: "Although we are here to inform the Heavenly Demon Sect about the invasion, we also represent Da Yang Mansion. If no one from Da Yang Mansion participates in the competition, it would be rude."
Si Kong sighed: "In this case, I have to reluctantly play, so as not to be said by the people of the Sword Soul Sect that I am here to eat and drink for free."
Monk Wuchen said unhappily: "Are you saying that this young monk is here to eat and drink for free?"
Si Bong smiled and said nothing.
Sikong Lingzhu on the side said again: "Although there are many masters in the sword test conference, my Xuanling Sword is not a vegetarian. Since I am here, let's go and try it."
Everyone left the table one after another and went back to rest.
Monk Wuchen was not participating in the competition tomorrow anyway, and since he had free wine, he naturally wanted to drink enough.
Ye Zhenfeng was not planning to participate in the competition at first, but he got excited after drinking, so he stayed to continue the drinking contest.
It's past midnight, the night wind is cold, and the sky is full of stars. In the courtyard, the bamboo shadows sway gently, the wind blows the tea flowers into a sea, and the fragrance of tea flowers fills the whole courtyard.
Wuchen smiled and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Ye's drinking capacity to be so good. It seems that the young monk is going to give in."
Ye Zhenfeng chuckled and said: "Master Wuchen, you promised to accompany me to drink until dawn. Monks don't lie!"
Wuchen laughed and saw that Ye Zhenfeng was in high spirits after drinking, and said: "The young monk saw that Mr. Ye is also a cheerful person. There is something that I don't know whether to ask or not?"
Ye Zhenfeng was puzzled, put down his cup and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Wuchen said: "In the bamboo forest before, thanks to Master Ye's help, we were able to escape from Han Zhu. Later, when Si Kong and Master Hanyue met, the young monk saw that the expressions on the faces of Master Ye and Master Han had changed, but he didn't know Why?"
Ye Zhenfeng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, there is indeed something hidden..."
Wuchen looked at Ye Zhenfeng, waiting for him to continue.
Ye Zhenfeng stood up, his black clothes swaying in the wind. He looked up at the confused stars in the sky and sighed: "Master Han Yue is actually a woman, and her real name is Han Ziyue."
"Ah?!" Wuchen was startled, never expecting that Young Master Hanyue was actually a woman.
Ye Zhenfeng turned his head and looked at him, and then said: "The matter started six years ago. At that time, Ziyue and I were both students in Da Yang Mansion. She was admitted to Suixing Academy, and I was in Chenxing Academy. . Ziyue comes from all over the world and has always been called the Witch of the Four Seas by the people of Da Yang Mansion. During the Mansion Festival, she stole the treasure of Da Yang Mansion, the God-Slaying Sword."
Hearing this, Wuchen said: "God-Slaying Slash? I have heard the legend of it before. It is said to be an ancient divine weapon that kills the gods! It comes from the sky and is feared by all gods."
Ye Zhenfeng nodded and said: "Because of this, Da Yang Mansion regards her as an enemy. If they know that Han Yue is Han Ziyue back then, it will definitely be detrimental to her. Because Si Bang is the dean of Taibai Courtyard, So, I didn’t want him to know the truth, that’s why it happened then.”
Wuchen nodded and said: "Young Master Ye is a decent man who is a chivalrous and righteous person, but why do you get entangled with the four-sea witch who stole the God-Slaying Sword? I think there must be a reason!"
Ye Zhenfeng nodded, looked at the Tumi flower stand, and sighed:
"Zi Yue is a member of the Liuhuo Clan. The Liuhuo Clan is actually an ancient clan of gods. They were criticized by the world just because they were different from ordinary people. Over time, they were rumored to be a demon clan. The God-Slaughter Slash was originally a saint guarded by the Liuhuo Clan from generation to generation. thing."
"Zi Yue was ordered to go to Da Yang Mansion to recapture the God-Slaying Slash, so she formed a rift with Da Yang Mansion. If the people of Da Yang Mansion knew that she had returned to Jiuzhou, they would definitely hunt her down again. I don’t want them to have another dispute, that’s why it’s like this.”
Wuchen raised a cup of bamboo leaf boat and saw a bright moon reflected in the cup. The moon was like a jade bead, swaying in the wine. He raised his head and drank, and the soft wine slipped by.
His beautiful Adam's apple.
Wuchen sighed softly: "I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Master Ye, you are actually willing to tell me such an important thing."
Ye Zhenfeng smiled softly and said: "Actually, I can make up a ridiculous reason and deceive Master Wuchen, but I think Master Wuchen is a casual and open-minded person, so he may be able to understand my difficulties."
Wuchen chuckled, and then said: "Of course I understand that everyone in the world is prejudiced against monsters. In fact, many times, the so-called monsters are not all bad people. If the Buddha is compassionate and can save the world, how can he not save the monsters? What's more, Miss Han Still a descendant of the Gods."
Ye Zhenfeng was overjoyed and said: "Master Wuchen, it is really rare for you to understand the pain of being a foreigner."
Wuchen smiled and said: "Actually, the dispute between Miss Han and Da Yang Mansion has nothing to do with Wuchen. Mr. Ye can rest assured that Wuchen will never tell others what he said today."
Ye Zhenfeng nodded, and then he drank with Monk Wuchen for a while. Seeing that all the wine brought by the servant had been drunk, the two of them went back to their room to rest.
The bamboo shadows on the small window swayed slightly, and he was about to undress and take off his clothes in the night breeze when he suddenly heard the intermittent sound of the piano coming from outside. He only felt that the sound of the piano seemed to have been heard somewhere, but for a moment he heard it again. Unable to remember, he simply put on his cloak and left in search of the sound.
After passing through a garden, he arrived at a pavilion. Above the pavilion, candles were brightly lit. Through the window, he could vaguely see an old woman with white hair playing the piano.
This white-haired old woman is about 10 years old. Although her beauty is late, she is still very beautiful. It can be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.
The girl in red standing next to the old woman looks somewhat similar to the old woman, but her beauty is far less than the old woman's appearance.
Ye Zhenfeng looked at the red flowers blooming in front of his eyes, and then at the old woman playing the piano. He couldn't help but sigh that the beauty was dying, and sighed softly with regret.
Even if the beauty is good, red flowers are easy to wither, and beauty is even easier to age!
"What are you sighing about? Could it be that you are disappointed because the person playing the piano is an old woman?" Suddenly, a female voice came from behind him.
He turned around quickly and saw a person walking slowly among the flowers. She wore a long red dress and held a long sword with a red scabbard in her hand. Her long hair was tied high and hanging lightly on one ear. There were a string of beads and tassels hanging on her long hair. She had a pair of big eyes that were blinking. Look at him without blinking.
Ye Zhenfeng couldn't help but be startled and said: "Zhuo Qi!"
Zhuo Qi pouted, tilted her head, and said, "Huh, thank you for remembering me!"
Ye Zhenfeng stretched out his hand and scratched his head, thinking that he had not seen her before, but he did not expect that Miss Zhuo Qi was becoming more and more beautiful now.
Ye Zhenfeng suddenly remembered what her mother Li Ge had told her before. Just when she was about to explain it to Zhuo Qi, Zhuo Qi had already said, "You brat, after so many years, have you still not changed your lustful habits?"
Ye Zhenfeng opened her mouth wide and looked at her in confusion, thinking to herself, it's unfair, why am I so horny?
She smiled slightly, then looked at the people in the attic and said, "You must have heard the moving music, so you wanted to come and see if the person playing the piano was a great beauty. When you saw the beauty, you sighed here."
Ye Zhenfeng smiled and said, "Zhuo Qi, you misunderstood..."
Zhuo Qi put her hands on her hips and said, "There is no misunderstanding. Although this beauty is old, her daughter is not bad. She is a little beauty after all. Do you want me to introduce her to you?"
Ye Zhenfeng turned his head, glanced at the mother and daughter in the attic, and said, "Do you know them?"
Zhuo Qi put the long sword on his chest, folded his arms, tilted his head and looked at him, blinked and said, "You came to the Sword Soul Sect and you don't know them?"
Ye Zhenfeng shook his head innocently, he really didn't know.
Zhuo Qi said: "That old woman is the wife of the Eastern Sect Master, her name is Hua Hairpin. She was also a well-known chivalrous woman in the world. The little beauty standing next to her is her daughter, named Dongfang Chu. Our Liehuo Zong has been here for several days, and I have become familiar with her these days!"
Ye Zhenfeng nodded thoughtfully.
Zhuo Qi said displeasedly: "You also said that you are not interested in her. How could you ask who she is if you are not interested?"
Night pillow wind smiles bitterly,
He said: "Hey, Miss Zhuo, you told me yourself, okay, I didn't ask."
Zhuo Qi rolled her eyes at him and said: "I knew it must be because I am not pretty enough, so you have been avoiding me all these years. No matter where I go, I can't find you. Ye Zhenfeng, have you forgotten Was the engagement made back then?”
Ye Zhenfeng immediately explained: "It was a complete misunderstanding when we talked about the engagement back then. Besides, I didn't agree to it, so you couldn't be serious about it, right?"
Zhuo Qi said angrily: "You are so charming, of course I took it seriously. I have been waiting for you all these years, but who would have thought... I didn't even see you in person. I thought you were dead!"
Hearing Zhuo Qi's words was quite sour, but Ye Zhenfeng really didn't understand what Zhuo Qi was thinking, so he said, "Long years no see... are you okay?"
Zhuo Qi looked at him and said lukewarmly: "Of course I'm fine, and the Liehuo Sect is also very good. If it hadn't been for you back then, we, the Liehuo Sect, wouldn't have had the chance to rank among the Seventh Palace and Twelve Sects."
Ye Zhenfeng nodded and said, "That's good."
Zhuo Qi stamped her feet and said angrily: "Ye Zhenfeng, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Ye Zhenfeng was stunned. She didn't know why she suddenly lost her temper. She quickly said: "I...what's wrong with me?"
"You...are you willing to marry me?"
"Ah? Zhuo Qi, after all these years...are you still waiting for me? Do you still take the misunderstanding back then seriously?"
Zhuo Qi's lungs were almost bursting with anger. She pushed him away and said angrily: "Who... who is waiting for you? You think so well, this girl has already fallen in love with someone else!"
