"No...why are there still people?" Chu Zhaozhao frowned, impatience written on his face.
They haven't stopped since early this morning.
From Zhou Ling'er to Xu Ran, and then to Tang Zhengde's master and apprentice.
The courtyard is very lively today.
I thought that everything would finally come to an end at this moment, but I never thought that before I could take a breath, another uninvited guest would arrive unexpectedly.
Everyone stood up and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate. Tang Zhengde and his party also stood up.
I saw a large group of people filing in at the entrance of the courtyard.
After seeing the leader's appearance clearly, Chu Qingxiao frowned, with a slightly strange expression on his face.
Before he could ask the question, Tang Zhengde behind him said first, "Xiang An, Ling'er, what are you doing here?"
The group of people who rushed into the courtyard were led by none other than Xiang An, Chu Qingxiao's old friend in Wuling City, and Zhou Ling'er, who was visiting for the third time.
Speaking of which, Chu Qingxiao and Xiang An hadn't seen each other for many days.
Even Xiang An, the Seventh Hall Trial, was not present.
See you again today. Xiang An still looks well-dressed and majestic.
But Chu Qingxiao's state of mind was completely different from that then.
Xiang An and Zhou Ling'er also heard Tang Zhengde's words at this time.
Xiang An had a strange look on his face, but Zhou Linger seemed to have thought of something and felt a little guilty, so she lowered her head at this moment.
"Why is Elder Tang here?" Xiang An asked first.
"It's a long story." Tang Zhengde sighed. At this time, he slapped his forehead again and said, "Look at my brain. Only then did I remember that Xiang An is also an old man from Wuling City. When talking about it, you are related to Qing Xiao should be from the same hometown, so it makes sense to come and see him."
Xiang An frowned when he heard this. He was surprised to notice that Tang Zhengde called Chu Qingxiao affectionately.
I thought to myself that I had never heard of any relationship between Tang Zhengde and Chu Qingxiao before. How did these two people get together?
However, although he was puzzled, the expression on his face did not change much. He just said with a cold face: "I and Chu Qingxiao are from the same hometown, but today the disciple came not to reminisce about the past, but... "
Xiang An said this and turned to look at Chu Qingxiao.
His eyes were cold, looking at Chu Qingxiao as if he were looking at a stranger.
"But they came to arrest him and take him to Ganquan Peak for trial!"
"Go to Ganquan Peak for trial?" After hearing this, Tang Zhengde's expression changed, and he almost subconsciously stopped being in front of Chu Qingxiao.
"What did Mr. Chu commit? Why do you need to go to Ganquan Peak for trial?" Zuo Zhuanxin, the man behind him, also stepped up and asked.
Xiang Anyan said: "Elder Tang doesn't know something."
"This Chu Qingxiao is cruel and ruthless. First, he injured my disciple Lu Qi on Ganquan Peak yesterday, leaving him still in a coma. Then he cut off the right arm of Cao Lun, who came to ask for justice!"
"I am still receiving treatment on Ganquan Peak. Even if the injury has been alleviated, one arm has been destroyed, and I am afraid that I will be half a cripple in the future."
"It is true that Chu Qingxiao and I are from the same hometown, but I will never tolerate such despicable and cruel people!"
Xiang An's words were filled with indignation and justice, but Tang Zhengde was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, and then said: "So that's what happened."
"Xiang An, this is a misunderstanding."
As he spoke, he looked past Xiang An to Zhou Ling'er behind him, and asked with a strange look on his face: "Didn't Ling'er tell you the whole story?"
After hearing this question, Zhou Linger buried her head lower.
After Cao Lun's accident, she took him back to Ganquan Peak and happened to meet Tang Zhengde.
Although Tang Zhengde's Chengjian lineage is not well-known in Ganquan Peak, Tang Zhengde still has the seventh level of cultivation. At the same time, Cao Lun's situation is not optimistic, so Zhou Ling'er immediately asked Tang Zhengde for help.
Tang Zhengde was an upright man. Although he didn't like Cao Lun who often bullied his disciples, he still came to his rescue because of his friendship with his disciples.
It was at this stall that Tang Zhengde discovered the magic skills practiced by Cao Lun, and also asked what Chu Qingxiao had said from Zhou Linger's mouth. Only then did he come to Chu Qingxiao to express his gratitude.
When Zhou Linger saw the incident at Cao Lun's east window, he thought of telling Xiang An about it, so he didn't stay there longer and rushed to Siguo Cliff as soon as possible.
But when she arrived at Siguo Cliff, she saw that Xiang An had already walked out of the barrier and was standing outside the barrier talking to her grandfather.
Zhou Ling'er was a little strange, but she immediately told Cao Lun that Chu Qingxiao had his arm cut off.
Xiang An and Zhou Sheng's expressions changed when they heard this, and then Zhou Sheng said: "Chu Qingxiao is so motivated, this is the best time to capture him."
After saying this, he asked Xiang An to gather a group of disciples and led them down Ganquan Peak and straight to Chu Qingxiao's residence.
Until this moment, Zhou Ling'er didn't quite understand why her grandfather was so concerned about this matter.
On the way, Zhou Ling'er also tried to inform Xiang An about Cao Lun's practice of magic skills.
But Xiang An didn't care at all.
In his words, no matter what technique Cao Lun practices, he is still a disciple of Ganquan Peak. Chu Qingxiao's behavior is provoking Tianxuan Mountain.
Zhou Ling'er always felt that Xiang An's move was inappropriate, but she had always trusted Xiang An, so she followed him to Chu Qingxiao's residence in a daze.
Facing Tang Zhengde's inquiry at this moment, Zhou Linger felt a little guilty.
"I...I..." She hesitated for a long time, but for a while she couldn't explain why.
Tang Zhengde had a straightforward temperament and didn't have so many twists and turns. Seeing this, he just thought that Zhou Ling'er didn't have time to explain, or maybe he didn't explain clearly.
He immediately stepped forward with a smile and said: "Xiang An, put down your sword, Qingxiao is our benefactor at Ganquan Peak."
"If he hadn't discovered that Cao Lun was practicing magic skills, and if he had been allowed to develop in the future, if someone had broken it one day, it would have ruined the centuries-old reputation of our Tianxuan Mountain!"
Tang Zhengde said this, but Xiang An remained unmoved.
He still stared at Chu Qingxiao sternly and said: "Elder Tang, this man is cunning and evil. Don't be deceived by his sweet words."
"How can this be deceived?" Tang Zhengde also heard the distrust in Xiang An's words. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "My disciple was harmed by Cao Lun's magic power. , Over the years, my cultivation has not improved at all, all of this is thanks to Cao Lun!"
Xiang An also heard the anger in Tang Zhengde's words. He frowned and looked sideways at Tang Zhengde, and also said in a deep voice: "No matter what skills Cao Lun practices, he is from Tianxuan Mountain. As for the people of Tianxuan Mountain, it is not his turn as an outsider to punish them!"
"Elder Tang, why are you turning your elbows outward like this?"
After hearing this, Tang Zhengde laughed angrily and asked: "It's not the turn of outsiders to punish you? According to your rules as a deacon, does that mean that people from Tianxuan Mountain do evil outside and outsiders don't even have the qualifications to resist?" , can only wait for death?"
Tang Zhengde's words made Xiang An stunned and unable to refute for a while.
But at the same time, Xiang An had no intention of refuting. He sneered, looked at Tang Zhengde with an increasingly cold gaze, and even said with a hint of threat: "Elder Tang, I am here to serve you." Following Master’s orders.”
"If Elder Tang is dissatisfied, you can confront Master. Please don't make things difficult for me."
These words sounded like he was submissive and begging for mercy, but Xiang An's tone did not mean the slightest bit, but was full of threats.
After hearing this, the expression on Tang Zhengde's face indeed changed, and he was obviously still afraid of Zhou Sheng.
But such a change only lasts a moment.
The next moment, he was still standing firmly in front of Chu Qingxiao. Seeing his master's behavior, many of the disciples he brought also stepped forward and came behind Tang Zhengde.
Seeing this, Xiang An frowned a little deeper and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Elder Tang is determined to protect an outsider!?"
Tang Zhengde straightened his back and looked at Xiang An as well.
At that moment, the frailty that the old man showed when he first met Chu Qingxiao faded away. His waist was straight, his robe billowing, and he spoke loudly at that time.
"The founder of Tianxuan Mountain once left an eight-character motto on Tianxuan Peak."
"The sword is as powerful as a ruler in the sky, as good as black and white!"
"Mr. Tang is not as talented as you, and the Zhou family is prosperous and has many heroes."
"but……"
"When I first started learning swordsmanship, my master taught me diligently and I have never forgotten it."
"What I protect is not outsiders, but..."
"This is the century-old reputation of Tianxuan Mountain!"
"It is the justice of the world under this Qingfeng!"
