When Chu Zhaozhao woke up, it was already bright.
She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Chu Qingxiao's face sleeping soundly on the bed.
She was stunned.
But the sound of getting up woke up Chu Qingxiao, who was not sleeping soundly.
The young man raised his head, his eyes confused.
But the next moment, he saw Chu Zhaozhao who had already sat up.
Chu Qingxiao's dull face showed joy.
"I..." Chu Zhaozhao opened his mouth to ask something.
But Chu Qingxiao had already stood up and walked quickly outside the house while shouting loudly: "Mr. Luo! Miss Chu is awake!"
"Come and see if she is still in serious condition!"
He walked so eagerly that when he went out, he tripped on the threshold, staggered, and fell to the ground in a helter-skelter manner.
But he didn't care. He stood up quickly and stumbled towards the door.
That somewhat embarrassed, even clumsy look made Chu Zhaozhao, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, cover his mouth and chuckle.
Not even half a moment.
Chu Qingxiao rushed over with Wang Che, Mr. Luo and others.
Mr. Luo's style of doing things has never been sloppy. As soon as he entered the room, he sat on one side, stretched out his hand to feel Chu Zhaozhao's pulse, and asked about her condition.
After half an hour of busy work, he smiled and said: "Miss Chu has a foundation in martial arts, her pulse has stabilized, and the injuries on her body are recovering quickly. After another three or four days of recovery, she will probably be fully recovered." .”
Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, since Miss Chu is fine, we are ready to leave. We cannot stay here with you forever." Chu Qingxiao said immediately.
After hearing this, Mr. Luo said: "Miss Chu is fine for the time being, but she still needs to rest. Now you are wanted everywhere in Wuling City. Where can you hide if you go out?"
"And if things get bumpy, Miss Chu's injury may not recur. Wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
"Recently, thanks to Mr. Zhu, the school he opened is large enough and completely free. There are no students in my Peach Blossom Study now. You can stay quietly and wait for Miss Chu to recover from her injuries. It will not be too late to make plans."
Chu Qingxiao looked hesitant when he heard this.
At this time, the fairy beside Mr. Luo also smiled and said: "Mr. Chu, just listen to Tai'an."
"If you leave like this, Tai'an may not be able to sleep well in the past few days."
The fairy's words made Chu Qingxiao a little surprised.
Chu Qingxiao didn't fully understand what Xianling said to him yesterday, but he could feel that the other party obviously didn't welcome him that much.
But in just one night, she changed her attitude and took the initiative to persuade him to stay.
Although Chu Qingxiao didn't want to involve Mr. Luo, he couldn't stand the other party's firm attitude. At the same time, he really didn't know where to go for a while, so he finally agreed to stay here to rest for a few more days.
…
After breakfast, Wang Che was dragged by Mr. Luo to help clear the snow in his backyard, and Chu Qingxiao came alone to the room where Chu Zhaozhao was training.
"You stayed here all night yesterday?" Chu Zhaozhao asked in a low voice when he saw Chu Qingxiao sitting down.
"Yes. Although Mr. Luo said that you are fine, I still think it is safer to have someone watching." Chu Qingxiao responded.
His mood was obviously not high, and his tone was a little low.
But Chu Zhaozhao's heart warmed, thinking that the other party had taken care of him here for a whole night. For more than ten years, Chu Zhaozhao, who had devoted himself to practicing the art of observing swords and nourishing his mind since entering Tianxuan Mountain, this was probably the first time he had met someone who cared so much about him. people.
Her heart beat a little faster and she whispered: "Thank you."
"We are friends. We should!" Chu Qingxiao said quickly, but after saying this, he lowered his head.
Seemingly reading his thoughts, Chu Zhaozhao was silent for a while and said: "I was wondering, since those black armors are Xizhou Sword Armors, can we find a way to help them get rid of control and use their power to deal with Zhu Zhu? Negative?"
"I thought about it a lot yesterday."
"I have also thought about this method. I want to help them get rid of control. Not to mention whether we can do it, but at least we have to take off their masks."
"But you have also seen that the three of us are already stretched to deal with one black armor, and there are far more of them. This road may not be so easy." Chu Qingxiao responded in a deep voice.
"Yes..." Chu Zhaozhao was also a little frustrated when he heard this.
Yesterday, only one black armor took action, and she almost lost her life, not to mention that Zhu Yin probably had many black armors like this on her hands.
Thinking of this, she suddenly frowned and looked at Chu Qingxiao: "How did we escape from danger yesterday?"
Her memory stopped at the time when she was mentioned by Heijia, and then she fell into a coma. Naturally, she had no way of knowing what happened.
"I probably saved you." Chu Qingxiao said uncertainly.
"You?" Chu Zhaozhao's eyes widened, obviously not believing Chu Qingxiao's words.
But then she thought about it. Although she and Chu Qingxiao had known each other for a short time, this guy didn't look like the kind of person who liked to take credit.
But he lied at this time...
Thinking again about how he stayed with me all night yesterday...
Chu Zhaozhao seemed to understand something, and her face turned red.
She said nervously: "I understand what you are thinking, but you shouldn't lie. What's more, it's such an outrageous lie. How could I believe it if I'm not stupid?"
"You can't deal with those black armors."
"Besides, using this method to attract my attention sometimes just backfires..."
"It's really me." Chu Qingxiao obviously didn't have as good a mind as Chu Zhaozhao. Seeing that Chu Zhaozhao didn't believe it, he immediately said: "I can prove it to you."
As he said this, he reached out to unbutton his clothes.
When Chu Zhaozhao saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He subconsciously crossed his hands on his chest and said nervously: "You...you...you! What are you going to do!"
"Even if you saved me yesterday..."
"Even if I really don't hate you that much..."
"But it's too fast..."
Chu Zhaozhao's face was as red as a ripe apple at that time, but he heard Chu Qingxiao say at this time.
"look."
Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao raised his head timidly, only to see that Chu Qingxiao was already naked from the waist up.
Chu Qingxiao looks a little thin, but his body is actually quite strong, with a slender figure and sharp muscles in his upper body, but he does not look too bloated.
Well...it's quite pretty.
This thought came to Chu Zhaozhao's mind inexplicably.
But the next moment, she was startled, blushing and trembling at her shameful thought.
She was startled and quickly lowered her head: "What are you doing!"
"No... take a closer look." Chu Qingxiao said helplessly.
Chu Zhaozhao heard that his tone didn't sound like he was joking. He hesitated for a while and then slowly raised his head.
He saw Chu Qingxiao pointing at his chest. Chu Zhaozhao suppressed the shame and anger in his heart and looked intently.
There is a peach blossom-shaped red tattoo on the left side of Chu Qingxiao's chest, near his heart.
The peach blossoms are fiery red and in full bloom.
But the weird thing is that around the peach blossom tattoo, there are raised blood vessels, and the blood flowing in the blood vessels is black. They are centered on the peach blossom and shrink toward the middle, as if they are spreading into the depths of the peach blossom tattoo. The poisonous snakes have eroded the petals around the peach blossom tattoo, and the color of the petals on the edges is obviously much darker.
"Is this..." Chu Zhaozhao also noticed the strangeness and asked with a frown.
"Yesterday, when I saw you in deep danger, a burst of anger suddenly surged in my heart. Even though I lost consciousness, when I recovered, those black armors had been defeated."
"According to Wang Che, I did it while I was unconscious."
"Although I didn't have the slightest impression of this, when I went to the study room and your condition stabilized, I went to clean the wound, but I found this thing on my chest."
"I think it may have something to do with my strange behavior yesterday."
Chu Qingxiao said this with a bitter look on his face.
He was vaguely aware that this thing didn't seem to be a good thing for him.
"I'm not sure, but I feel like this peach blossom mark is like a soul mark. It seems to be protecting you from being controlled by something." Chu Zhaozhao stared at Chu Qingxiao's chest for a long time before finally speaking. said.
"Soul Seal?" Chu Qingxiao had never heard of this term before and seemed a little confused.
"It is a method that can only be performed by a strong person at the level of the Divine Soul. They divide a part of their soul, inject it with power, and then brand it on the recipient of the spell, thereby protecting the recipient."
"Usually it's a method used by some sects or families with a long history to protect their successors from accidents before they grow up."
"Even for a strong person in the Shenzhao realm, using this method will damage one's own foundation, and the price is not small." Chu Zhaozhao said while recalling what he had read in the book.
"But where do I know a strong person in the Shenzhao realm?" Chu Qingxiao said with a strange expression.
Before this, the most powerful guy he had ever seen was Wuling City's catcher Cao Shugong. It was said that he had the training of a three-level martial artist.
Existences like Shenzhao Realm are rare in the entire Yu world. How can he have the ability to allow such a powerful person to plant a soul mark on his body?
"I just happened to read the ancient books that recorded this matter. My judgment may not be accurate. Come closer and I will take a look." Chu Zhaozhao also found it incredible and urged him immediately.
This matter was related to his family and life, and Chu Qingxiao did not dare to be careless. After hearing this, he quickly looked forward. Chu Zhaozhao also lowered his head and looked at it carefully. The two were very close to each other at the moment. At first glance, it's quite ambiguous.
"Qingxiao, Mr. Luo called you..." At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Wang Che, who was sweating profusely, walked in as he spoke.
But the next moment, the words in his mouth stopped abruptly, and he looked at the two people in the room blankly.
What kind of scene is that?
Chu Qingxiao was naked from the waist up and held out his chest.
Chu Zhaozhao leaned out and pressed his face against Chu Qingxiao's naked chest. His lips were only the slightest distance from Chu Qingxiao's skin.
"Are you so good at playing?" Young Master Wang murmured with a stiff face.
The two people in the room were stunned for a moment, looked up at each other, and realized the weirdness of this posture.
"Ah!" Chu Zhaozhao's face turned red again. She screamed, grabbed the quilt on the bed and covered herself in it.
Chu Qingxiao also trembled and stood up quickly, putting on his clothes haphazardly.
Wang Che was also startled and quickly covered his eyes. As he walked outside, he said, "I...I didn't see anything. You...you have fun."
"Have fun."
Probably because he was too panicked, Young Master Wang, who was covering his eyes, did not locate the door correctly, and his forehead directly hit the door frame.
But even though he was knocked dizzy, Young Master Wang did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly stretched out his other hand, found the location of the door, and walked out quickly.
Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao quickly got up and chased after him: "Brother Wang, you misunderstood!"
He reached out and patted Wang Che on the shoulder, about to explain.
boom!
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the study's courtyard door.
The courtyard door was knocked open from the outside, and the two doors fell off the door frames and fell heavily into the courtyard. The huge force kicked up snow all over the sky.
Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che were both shocked and looked around.
Outside the gradually dissipating snow and fog, a group of figures in pitch-black armor were already standing at the gate of Taohua Study...
