After the battle, it was almost noon.
Bai Shuyu walked up to Chen Yan, who was wearing a mask, and bowed deeply: "Thank you Changfeng Tower for your help."
Chen Yan said calmly: "You're welcome, there is an alliance."
At this time, Zhu Mingyu ran over and asked, "Aunt Zhou, are you okay?"
Chen Yi replied: "It's okay...are the three girls not here?"
Bai Shuyu didn't know how to answer for a while. Zhu Mingyu said hurriedly: "Aunt Zhou, go and rest first. I'll talk to you on the way."
Bai Shuyu also said hurriedly: "Everyone in Changfeng Tower, please rest at my house."
Chen Yan shook his hand: "No, there are still many things to do in your family, so we can't disturb you... Mingyu, let everyone follow you to the Xianren Hall."
"I see."
Zhu Mingyu and Chen Yan were about to leave when Bai Shuyu saw a young man with an upright face walking towards him with a few people.
He didn't know this person, but he arrived with his own fresh troops, and the half of them were them.
Bai Shuyu said to the man: "Thank you for your help, brother, but brother..."
The man smiled and replied: "Sir Bai Shuyu, right? My name is Zhao Shunlai."
Bai Shuyu said in his heart: It's over, the love rivals have met.
But he still returned the favor: "I'm the one who met Brother Shunlai."
Chen Yan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Shunlai's ear: "Didn't I ask you to guard Chaolan Valley?! Why did you run out without permission!"
"Aunt Zhou, please let go!" Zhao Shunlai hurriedly explained, "Didn't I guess that Ye Yu Xiaozhu had a back-up plan? I wanted to catch him by surprise. I was thinking that Third Young Master Bai didn't expect this step."
Bai Shuyu was a little unhappy: "Uh... I thought about it, I've prepared some manpower."
Zhao Shunlai was a little shocked: "You also hid your manpower?"
"Yes, keep a back-up, you're used to it."
Zhao Shunlai said to himself: I have underestimated this third young master.
Chen Yan didn't want to teach Zhao Shunlai a lesson, so he said, "Shunlai, you and the people you brought will stay at Bai's house and help with some work. Go back to the valley early in the afternoon."
"I got it."
After sending Chen Yan and others off respectfully, the two young men stared at each other.
After a long time, Zhao Shunlai suddenly said: "Jade is not here?"
"Jade went out for something and was not in Luoyang."
"Where have you gone?"
"Keep it secret."
Zhao Shunlai smiled and said, "Feicui and I have been playing together since we were little. There are no secrets between us."
Bai Shuyu nodded and said seriously: "She has encountered a lot of things outside for more than a year, and she has her own secrets."
Zhao Shun looked around and scratched his cheek: "You don't understand us. Jade and I talk about everything."
Bai Shuyu also smiled: "I understand, Feicui often mentions you."
Zhao Shunlai's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Yes...she said she beat you."
"Hi," Zhao Shunlai smiled openly, "I'm used to fighting each other often. Not everyone is lucky enough to be beaten by Jade. Has she ever beaten you?"
Bai Shuyu nodded: "I did."
Zhao Shunlai stopped smiling: "How many days have you been lying down?"
Bai Shuyu shrugged: "I just punched the chest a few times. It doesn't hurt or itch."
The two stopped talking again, but their eyes were locked in each other's eyes. Although they now have a common enemy, although they have the same position now, and although it is not the time to be jealous, they just keep an eye on each other.
Chen Ling'er looked at the two people who were getting increasingly angry. She sighed and thought to herself: Are all men children?
Chen Ling'er walked between the two of them and said to Zhao Shunlai: "Mr. Zhao, thank you for your help. Bring your people over and I will arrange a place for you to rest."
Zhao Shunlai said expressionlessly: "I'm here to help you, girl."
Seeing Zhao Shunlai follow Chen Ling'er away, Bai Shuyu couldn't help but relax.
gas. At this moment, his mood was a little complicated, and he kept thinking in his mind: If I get married to Jade in the future, I won't go to Chaolan Valley if I can.
The Bai family is now in a mess. The fire at the White Tower ruins has just been extinguished. There are many casualties among the nursing staff and the dead at home. After Chen Ling'er arranged a resting place for Zhao Shunlai and the others, she didn't have time to communicate with them. She just asked her servants to prepare healing medicine, food and water.
After Chen Ling'er left, a little brother saw Zhao Shunlai sitting on a chair in the small courtyard with a gloomy look on his face, so he walked over and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shunlai, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Shunlai looked up at the man and replied, "It's okay."
Someone laughed and said, "Can't you see? Brother Shunlai is jealous."
Following these words, the teenagers in the yard burst into laughter, which made Zhao Shunlai very upset.
"I'm not jealous!" He explained loudly, "Am I guilty? Can't you see? This Bai Shuyu has nothing to do with Jade. He just said that just to make me angry!"
Someone suppressed a smile and said, "Come on, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Although we don't know if there is anything between Jade and this third young master Bai, we know that there must be nothing between you and Jade. Human Jade has nothing to do with him." I don’t like you, and everyone knows it. I tell you, don’t hang yourself on a tree. When everyone can go out of the valley at will, why don’t you find someone better than Jade?”
Zhao Shunlai stood up suddenly and glared at everyone: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"
After saying that, he angrily walked out of the courtyard.
Bai Shuyu was directing his men to clean the battlefield in the courtyard. Although he was very tired now, he knew that now was not the time to rest. In this battle, Ye Yu Xiaozhu came directly into their home, exposing many defensive problems of the Bai family. Although Bai Shuyu re-planned the defense measures at home after the battle in Xianrentang last year, he still discovered too many loopholes after this actual battle.
Just as he was thinking about how to make up for the losses in this battle, he suddenly heard someone say from behind him.
"Third Young Master."
He turned around and saw Zhao Shunlai with a smile on his face.
Bai Shuyu asked: "Brother Shunlai, Ling'er has arranged a place for you, why don't you take a rest?"
Zhao Shunlai stood in front of Bai Shuyu, pretending to be relaxed and said: "No, young man, I just traveled all night and fought all morning, I can handle it. I came here just to ask, is there anything we can do for you?" ?」
Bai Shuyu politely replied: "Thank you very much, Brother Shunlai, for your kindness. However, there is really nothing I need your help with right now. You can rest assured and cultivate yourself."
Zhao Shunlai lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If you need any help, just ask. I don't have time to spare."
Bai Shuyu said: "Really not."
"There's none?"
"without."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Zhao Shunlai suddenly said: "Third Young Master, use a sword?"
Bai Shuyu was puzzled: Do you have nothing to talk about?
"Yes, with a sword."
"I heard... Third Young Master is practicing acupuncture pen."
Bai Shuyu asked back: "No one in the world knows that I know martial arts. I did use an acupuncture pen before. How did Brother Shunlai know?"
Zhao Shunlai looked proud: "Jadeite said it when he wrote the letter."
Bai Shuyu smiled: "That's right...but I can use the sword now, Jade taught me."
Zhao Shunlai stopped laughing again: "Fairy sword?"
"Yes. He also taught me internal skills."
Zhao Shunlai's expression was already a little tense: "How did you learn?"
"It's okay, I have some talent, and Jade teaches me more attentively."
Zhao Shunlai clasped his hands behind his back and thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "Let's do two moves."
"What?"
"It's okay to be idle, just take a few moves."
Several young people who secretly followed Zhao Shunlai and ran out lay beside the moon gate of the courtyard and secretly looked at the two of them. When they heard Zhao Shunlai proposed a competition, the young people couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Shunlai, isn't this?
Are you asking for trouble? "
"That three-legged cat of his has the nerve to fight with others."
"Hurry up and call everyone to see it!"
"Don't make any noise! I heard that this Third Young Master's martial arts isn't very good either."
Bai Shuyu thought Zhao Shunlai's suggestion was a bit funny, but he was angry now, and Zhao Shun's words from the time he first appeared until now sounded harsh to him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to beat this guy up.
Very good, they both have the same idea.
Bai Shuyu smiled slightly: "Then it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."
"please!"
As the two of them walked to the center of the courtyard, the busy servants of the Bai family stopped what they were doing and began to guess what their young master was up to. The young people in Chaolan Valley no longer hid, and walked openly among the servants to cheer Zhao Shunlai up.
The atmosphere has reached this point, and it really doesn’t make sense not to have a fight.
Zhao Shunlai drew out the lancet, and Bai Shuyu drew out the long sword. The two stared at each other quietly.
Just when the audience was about to get impatient, the two men suddenly took action. In an instant, swords and swords collided. The sound of fighting was so startling that the three Bai family siblings came to check on the situation.
The two of them had been fighting a life-or-death game all morning, and were already exhausted. Now they were both grudges, but they were still able to get more energy.
This fight shocked the onlookers. A young man from Chaolan Valley stared blankly at the two sides and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really... novices pecking each other..."
One sword skill is not enough to use brute strength, and one sword skill is not enough to make up for it with random swings. Here is a blind old man punting the boat, so he can go wherever he goes. That's how a mute woman sings an opera, but can't even open her mouth to breathe out. In a sense, it can be regarded as meeting an opponent and meeting a good talent.
Zhao Shunlai said to himself: Jade's letter said that Bai Shuyu's martial arts were mediocre. It seems that I was wrong. In her eyes, if his martial arts were mediocre, he could certainly be considered a master.
Bai Shuyu said in his heart: Feicui said that Zhao Shunlai was very good at kung fu. It seems that I was wrong. She is so powerful, so naturally she is good at everyone.
The three Bai siblings watched for a long time. Bai Boju couldn't help but comment: "This Mr. Zhao has never practiced swordsmanship... Of course, Feicui probably didn't teach Shu Yu much."
Bai Xueyan frowned and said, "Jade said our Shu Yu is very talented."
Bai Zhonglian smiled and said, "Jade is just being polite."
Chen Ling'er, who hurried over after hearing the sound of fighting, saw two people playing with weapons against each other in the yard, and couldn't help but feel a headache. In such a tense situation, do these two people still have the leisure to play house elegantly?
Chen Ling'er rubbed her eyebrows, walked to the middle of the battlefield, waved the acupuncture pen twice, knocked the weapons out of their hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "You two, the situation is complicated now, and we have to wait for important matters to compete." past."
Zhao Shunlai rubbed his wrist: "Third Young Master, what a handsome swordsmanship."
Bai Shuyu smiled and said, "Brother Shunlai, you are not bad either."
The young people in Chaolan Valley started to boo, this was too shameless. Anyone who has practiced the moves for three to five years will not look so ugly.
As the two of them died down, the Bai family went about their business. Bai Xueyan told the three brothers to stay away from Mr. Zhao, and it was best for the two of them not to have any contact.
In fact, the two of them are not as good as they appear. Zhao Shunlai was out of the valley for the first time at this age. He didn't have much competition with others when he was in the valley. After all, Mo Changfeng didn't expect to train him to become a master. Although Bai Shuyu said he had practiced Fairy Sword and Snake Heart, the time was too short. It only lasted for more than half a year. No matter how talented he was, he could not achieve any results. In addition, the two of them had been fighting without hesitation all morning, and their legs were weak from exhaustion. They had to fight hard, but of course the fight was not good-looking.
