"Ling'er?" After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, Xiang An also sat up from his seat.
He also had a look of surprise on his face, obviously recognizing the girl who had suddenly arrived.
Zhou Qishen was stunned on the spot.
Linger?
He glanced at the girl who walked straight towards Xiang An, his heart trembled, and he suddenly came to his senses.
At this age and the appearance of being close to Xiang An, the only one left is the one in the rumors...
Another precious granddaughter who guards Zhou Sheng in Ganquan Peak - Zhou Ling'er.
It is said that this Miss Zhou was a treacherous person. She relied on Zhou Sheng's preference on Ganquan Peak and developed an unruly and willful temperament.
Although Zhou Qishen was from the inner sect, he had not seen him a few times, so he did not recognize him at the first time.
Thinking about it now, if he had really said something rude just now and was resented by Miss Zhou, then this trouble would be no less than the destruction of Sword Slave City.
Thinking of this, he was frightened for a while, and he didn't dare to say another word. He silenced his voice angrily, lowering his head and not daring to look at the two of them.
…
"Brother Xiang An! You don't keep your word! When you left, you said you would be back in a month. It has been more than two months, and you are still lingering in Jiannu City. Do you not want to see me and are avoiding me on purpose?" As soon as he approached, Zhou Ling'er stamped her feet, pouted, and looked at Xiang An angrily.
At this time, Xiang An also recovered from the surprise of Zhou Ling'er's sudden visit. He smiled and immediately reached out and took Zhou Ling'er's hand.
At this contact, Zhou Linger's face suddenly turned red and she felt a little shy.
But he didn't struggle, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated with Xiang An's actions.
She let Xiang An pull her and sat down on the wooden chair next to the desk.
"Ling'er, don't be angry. I originally just went to Chuzhou to do something in the name of the peak master, but I didn't expect that something happened in Luer Mountain and Wancheng later, and I had to rush to check the situation. You also know that our Ganquan Peak I have a close relationship with Supervisor Tiansi recently, so I can’t avoid being busy."
"I should have come back after doing this, but there was such a big mess in Jiannu City again, and I had no choice but to come here to investigate the case." Xiang An explained to Zhou Ling'er patiently.
"Hmph!" Zhou Ling'er saw her lover, and most of the anger in her heart had dissipated. However, she still pretended to be annoyed and snorted coldly, muttering: "Then you should also write a letter. If I hadn't asked Grandpa, who would have arrived?" I don’t even know where you are now?”
"I have been running all the way from Chuzhou to Muzhou, and from Muzhou to Cangzhou. I didn't have a moment to spare, and there were so many things. I really forgot about it. I will definitely remember it next time!" Xiang An promised the girl with a smile.
Zhou Ling'er felt happy after receiving such an answer. She glanced at Xiang An and said, "That's not bad. If you do this next time, I will never pay attention to you again!"
When Xiang An heard this, he naturally responded.
…
"Brother Xiang An, do you know?"
"My grandpa and I went to Muzhou some time ago, and we met a lot of interesting things there, especially in Feiyu City, where we met a lot of barbarians!"
"They all look so weird!"
"Some are as tall as two of me, and some are only three or four feet tall, but have beards longer than grandpa's!"
"There are still some people who are naked and look like savages!"
"The goods they sell are also very strange. There is a bone taller than mine..."
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Zhou Ling'er was in high spirits. She sat next to Xiang An and chattered about her experiences in Muzhou.
The door of the mansion, which was still completely silent just now, was also because of the young man.
The arrival of the woman made her a little more angry.
Xiang An looked at the excited girl and listened to her talk about the things that were not unusual for him. He smiled and cooperated with the surprised look, satisfying the girl's desire to tell.
"By the way! Brother Xiang An! Grandpa and I also met Chu Zhaozhao in Feiyu City." Zhou Linger changed the topic and said again.
"Chu Zhaozhao?" Xiang An muttered the name, feeling a little familiar.
"That's the outer disciple, have you forgotten?"
"About half a year ago, I got lost in Tianxuan City, and she led me the way..." Zhou Ling'er said.
Xiang An also had some impression after hearing this: "Oh, it's her. I just said why this name is so familiar. It seems that I have heard it elsewhere."
"I remembered that Wancheng seems to be her hometown. I went there a few days ago..."
"Brother Xiang An, do you know that her sword-watching and mind-nurturing technique has been broken?" Zhou Ling'er added.
"Broken? What do you mean? Hasn't the Yaoguang Sword Pool been opened recently?" Xiang An asked strangely.
"It's just injecting sword intent into an ordinary sword." Zhou Ling'er explained.
Xiang An frowned when he heard this: "I remember that she has been practicing the art of observing the sword and nourishing the mind for more than ten years. Now she has reached the third level. It is not too difficult to enter the inner gate. Why did she put her body at this moment?" Will your future be ruined?"
"The errand that Zhao Nianshuang gave her is not technically dangerous, right?"
Xiang Anxin had some doubts in his head. Because Chu Zhaozhao had helped Zhou Ling'er, Xiang An reciprocated the favor and revealed Zhao Nianshuang's errand to Chu Zhaozhao. Only then did Chu Zhaozhao have the opportunity to use a few jars of fine wine to win over Lu Sandao. There in exchange for this errand.
Otherwise, as an outer disciple, she would never get her turn.
"I don't know either. Grandpa luckily gave her a hard time. She was accompanied by a young man. She seemed to have used the Sword Observation and Nourishment Technique to save him. He must be her lover..." Zhou Ling'er said casually.
At the end, he seemed to think of something again, and then said: "Speaking of which, the guy following her is such a pity."
"The talents and qualifications are very good, and grandpa has even considered taking him in, but unfortunately, that guy is suffering from spiritual devouring disease, and he probably won't live long."
When Xiang An heard this, he lost any interest. After all, there are too many talented people in the world, and there are even more talented people who have failed. Although such tragedies are rare, they are not uncommon for Xiang An. thing.
But Zhou Ling'er had no intention of stopping. She added, "It's a pity that guy. When we were in Feiyu City, Hu Xiao, the eldest son of the Hu family in Muzhou, humiliated a woman on the street. That guy dared to talk to Hu Xiao." Come on, I got into a fight with a greedy wolf soldier over a woman I didn’t know..."
"Greedy Wolf Soldier?" Xiang An suddenly frowned upon hearing this, as if he thought of something: "Ling'er, when did this happen?"
"About two months ago..."
"You've only been to Chuzhou for a few days. I was bored alone in the mountains, so I took my grandpa to take me for a walk in Muzhou. It sounds dangerous. We just left Feiyu City, and Lu'er Mountain was so big. Something..." Zhou Ling'er didn't notice Xiang An's increasingly weird expression, and still muttered to herself.
"Two months ago..." Xiang An couldn't listen to Zhou Ling'er's words at the moment. He muttered these words and felt that he had grasped some extremely key clues, but he still couldn't connect them together.
At the moment, he didn't care that Zhou Ling'er was beside him. He turned around and came to the desk, looking at the paper he had written on the rice paper.
written handwriting.
Two months ago.
Chu Zhaozhao should have already been to Wuling City at that time.
She met Zhou Linger on the way back.
Xiang An wrote on rice paper and marked these messages next to the writing on Feiyu City.
There, she had a conflict with the greedy wolf soldiers.
Two days later, the deserted Luer Mountain appeared, where the aura of Long Xiangwei's ancestral spirit that had disappeared long ago existed.
More than ten days later, the magistrate of Shuiyang City died mysteriously.
The magistrate of Shuiyang City had good relations with the Hu family, and Greedy Wolf Soldier was the mercenary he was looking for and sent to protect Hu Xiao.
The place where he died was Tanlangzu's residence near Shuiyang City, and Tanlangzu also disappeared at this time.
Pu Zijin, the magistrate of Shuiyang City, whose real name is Li Zaishan, is an old man from Wuling City.
Xiang An continued to write.
Then another ten days passed, and the time was almost the distance required from Shuiyang City to Wancheng.
Wancheng is Chu Zhaozhao's hometown.
It is said that Zhang Quan, who was bewitched by the evil gods from outside the realm, had his spiritual sword taken away by Rui Xiaozhu at the Chu family's banquet.
It is said that the reason was because he offended a scion of a big family.
That person should be Chu Zhaozhao's companion. According to the description of his disciples, Rui Xiaozhu had a strange attitude when he was swordsmanship with the young master, like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time...
Then there will be Sword Slave City seven or eight days later...
In terms of time, it takes almost the same amount of time to get from Wancheng to Jiannu City...
The sword slaves who were rescued were mainly the survivors of Jianyue City.
When Xiang An wrote this, his writing suddenly paused.
Secretly thinking in her heart, after Chu Zhaozhao went to Wuling City, everything that happened on the way back was almost the same as the time of her actions.
The incident at one place was almost over, and when she walked to the next place, chaos broke out there.
And these chaos almost all involve the old people of Jianyue City and Wuling City...
Could all this have anything to do with her?
But she is just an ordinary outer sect disciple, her cultivation and talent are not surprising. How could she have such ability?
What exactly did she find in Wuling City?
Xiang An's thoughts were a little confused, but then he suddenly remembered that Zhou Linger said that Chu Zhaozhao had a companion beside him.
This companion also knew Rui Xiaozhu...
"Ling'er, do you have any impression of the young man next to Chu Zhaozhao?" Xiang An raised his head and looked at Zhou Ling'er and asked.
Zhou Ling'er was a little surprised why Xiang An was so serious all of a sudden. She blinked her eyes, thought about it seriously, and said.
"I'm about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looks pretty clean, but a little thin. He carries a cloth bag on his back, which is full of broken swords..."
After hearing this description, Xiang An quickly wrote down something on rice paper, wondering if he could start with this young man.
"I seem to remember his name, what is it...Chu...Chu..." Zhou Ling'er frowned and thought hard.
Hearing this, Xiang An also quickly looked at Zhou Linger. If he could know the name of the other party, it would be easier to trace him.
But it had been a long time, and Zhou Ling'er didn't remember it clearly. She thought about it for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"I remembered!"
"What's it called?" Xiang An asked quickly.
"Chu Qingxiao!"
As these three words came out of Zhou Linger's mouth, Xiang An's face suddenly turned pale, and the hand holding the pen trembled.
The pen was placed on the desk, and the black ink spots hit the snow-white rice paper, spreading out like ripples.
