As soon as Tang Zhengde said this, many disciples behind him also stepped forward.
They stood next to Tang Zhengde, and at the same time they took out their own swords. They looked at Xiang An and his party with firm eyes, and said loudly: "Inheriting the sword lineage, please ask Deacon Xiang and all the senior brothers for advice!"
At that moment, the sword intent around everyone surged together, like a surging tide, unstoppable.
Obviously, Tang Zhengde and his disciples were using their actions to tell Xiang An and others their position.
Xiang An's face was ugly, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.
Zhou Ling'er on the side also stepped forward and whispered: "Brother Xiang An, when I brought Cao Lun back to the mountain gate, it was indeed Elder Tang who treated Cao Lun..."
Although Zhou Ling'er didn't like Chu Qingxiao and his group, she was indeed present when Tang Zhengde questioned Cao Lun.
She really wanted to tell the whole story at this moment to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
But unfortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiang An turned around and glared at her.
At that moment, Xiang An's eyes were fierce, like a wild beast.
In Zhou Linger's memory, she had never been glared at by Xiang An so furiously.
This made her feel strange, and at the same time, there was a wave of fear in her heart, and her face suddenly turned pale. When the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back alive under such fear.
Xiang An didn't care about Zhou Ling'er's feelings at this moment, but looked at Tang Zhengde and his party with cold eyes.
for a long time.
Xiang An's murderous aura finally subsided.
"Elder Tang, as a senior of Ganquan Peak, I should respect you."
"But what happened today, you favored outsiders at every turn and ignored the life and death of my Ganquan Peak disciples."
"Since Elder Tang insists on having his own way, please be prepared to explain to the sect!"
Xiang An was certainly angry at Tang Zhengde's lack of access to oil and salt.
But at the same time, he also understood that although Tang Zhengde was not powerful in terms of power or cultivation in the entire Ganquan Peak, he was still a seventh-level martial artist. If he clashed with him head-on with his own cultivation, he would definitely not get any advantage.
He could only choose to avoid its sharp edge, but the anger in his heart naturally made him unwilling to leave in despair, so he could only say one or two threatening words.
However, Tang Zhengde looked calm and said: "The sect does not need to worry about Deacon Xiang. I will go and explain the reasons."
"Then please take care of yourself, Elder Tang!" Xiang An said with his hands raised, without even looking at Chu Qingxiao, like a stranger, he turned around and led everyone away.
…
This trouble came and went away just as quickly.
It wasn't until Xiang An's back disappeared at the entrance of the small courtyard that everyone came back to their senses.
"What the hell? Bah!" Meng Jin cursed.
Chu Qingxiao glanced at her, but didn't understand. Instead, he walked up to Tang Zhengde, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior and fellow seniors, for your help."
Tang Zhengde waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Young friend Qingxiao, you're welcome! We just did what we should do."
"However, it sounds like this An is an old friend of my little friend. Why does it seem to me that he is targeting you at every turn and wants to eat you, little friend?"
Chu Qingxiao smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is a long story. In the final analysis, it can only be said that everyone has his own ambitions."
The conflict between Chu Qingxiao and Xiang An involves the rebellion in Wuling City, which is very involved. Tang Zhengde's master and apprentice are very old-fashioned. If they really listen to Chu Qingxiao explain the reason, will they think of helping when the time comes? He had to get involved in this turmoil. Chu Qingxiao didn't want to implicate innocent people, so he gave an ambiguous answer.
Tang Zhengde also noticed that Chu Qingxiao didn't seem to want to talk more, so he didn't ask any further questions.
"Senior, I heard that Xiang An's master is the governor of Ganquan Peak, Zhou Shengzhou. If you offend me today, I'm afraid he will hate me and involve senior. Senior, please be more careful." Chu Qingxiao reminded with some worry.
Tang Zhengde did not take it seriously: "There have been some internal conflicts in Ganquan Peak in recent years, but it is a well-known and upright sect. The evidence of Cao Lun practicing magic skills is conclusive, and Zhou Zhenshou is not an unreasonable person. I don't think he would be so unreasonable." It’s clear and simple, little friends, don’t worry.”
Chu Qingxiao frowned, not agreeing with Tang Zhengde's optimism, but after all, Tang Zhengde was from Ganquan Peak, and he should know better than himself about the things in Shenfeng, so Chu Qingxiao didn't say anything more, and just reminded him again. : "Anyway, senior, be more careful."
Tang Zhengde nodded and didn't waste any more time on this matter.
Next, Chu Qingxiao asked about Lu Qi.
Tang Zhengde was happy to help, but Lu Qi was a disciple of Zhou Sheng's lineage. He didn't have much say in this matter. He could only find a way to convey the news. But if Zhou Sheng didn't care about the life and death of his disciples, he would There is nothing I can do to help.
Having said that, Tang Zhengde was busy going back to clarify the whole matter to his sect, so he didn't stay much longer and said goodbye to Chu Qingxiao immediately.
With Tang Zhengde's departure, the courtyard that had been noisy all day finally experienced a brief period of silence.
But everyone also understood that this tranquility was just a precursor to a bigger storm to come.
Seeing that everyone was in a dull mood, Xue Sanniang saw that everyone was in trouble since early in the morning and no one had a good meal, so she specially prepared a large table of sumptuous dinner in the evening.
He also specially bought two bottles of wine to meet Lu Sandao's needs.
After eating, everyone was in a much better mood and everyone went about their own business. Chu Qingxiao came to the courtyard door and looked at the leaky courtyard door with a wry smile on his face.
If we really talk about it, the gate of this courtyard can be regarded as having a bad fate. Since it was bought by Rui Xiaozhu, it was kicked to pieces twice in just one month.
Chu Qingxiao thought for a while and found some unwanted wooden boards from the inner courtyard. He used tools to remove the broken courtyard door. He held the board for a while and gestured, and finally found a suitable board that could be used to repair the courtyard door. .
Although it is not very beautiful after being nailed, it is better than the embarrassing situation of being visible to outsiders.
Thinking like this, Chu Qingxiao took out the suitable piece of wood and was about to use the saw he found to repair the corners a little, but when he looked around, he found that he seemed to have forgotten to take out the saw.
He was about to get up, but then a hand stretched out and handed over the saw he was looking for.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned and looked up at the owner of that hand. It was Song Qingqing.
He took the saw, looked at Song Qingqing with a cold face, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Still angry?"
Song Qingqing did not answer Chu Qingxiao's words. She just paused beside him and looked directly at Chu Qingxiao.
A good while.
Just when Chu Qingxiao felt uncomfortable looking at her, the girl's eyes suddenly turned red.
She asked with a tearful tone: "Brother Qingxiao."
"Will we never be able to avenge my father?"
