The man opposite him chuckled lightly after hearing what he said. Although he didn't have time to say a word, his smile was full of chivalry.
Chi Yuxian once again focused his attention on the scimitar placed on the table, his eyes dark.
Could it be someone who came to challenge him?
Thinking of this, Chi Yuxian secretly put his hand on the handle of the knife hanging on his waist. At the same time, he was always alert to the other party. As long as the other party made any movement, he would draw the knife.
But the other party just nodded to himself politely and coolly: "I'm Hu Fei."
"Hu Fei?" Chi Yuxian lowered his eyebrows and repeated the other person's name in a low voice. It always felt a bit strange and he seemed to have never heard it before.
As if seeing his doubts, Hu Fei put a hand on the scabbard: "You know the Hu family's sword skills."
After hearing these words, Chi Yuxian finally remembered who the other party was, but because he didn't know much about it before, he felt that the name was a bit unfamiliar.
"Hu Yidao is your father." He raised his eyes and looked directly at the heroic Hu Fei opposite, guessing the other party's purpose in his heart.
"Some time ago, I heard that someone had learned the Hu family's sword skills. I originally wanted to find time to visit him, but I didn't expect such a coincidence. I just met him today."
Hu Fei looks very tough and looks like an extraordinary person.
"Are you here to compete too?"
Chi Yuxian pushed the bowl in front of him to the side and said bluntly.
"Ha ha ha ha."
After hearing what he said, Hu Fei smiled heartily, and his eyes almost turned into crescent moons: "I had this idea just now."
"But..." He paused mid-sentence and thought for a moment before continuing, "I just saw the young master coming downstairs. He doesn't look like a person who knows martial arts."
Hu Fei frowned slightly: "I don't even have internal strength. If this is the case, if I compete with the young master, wouldn't it be impossible to win without strength?"
The meaning of his words was that he felt that he would definitely win against Chi Yuxian, who didn't even have internal strength.
There was a lot of noise around, and few people could clearly hear the exchange in this remote corner.
Chi Yuxian raised his eyes and glanced at the sunshine outside: "It's not certain who will win and who will lose."
After that, he took out the dough and put it on the table, got up and walked out.
"Master Hu, please."
As he spoke, he turned around. His different heroic features were hidden in the sunlight, looking slightly depressed.
Hu Fei was a little curious, why could the other party be so confident without martial arts at his side? Is it really possible to learn the opponent's skills just by looking at them?
This matter did not spread so widely in the world. He only found out about it when he happened to meet a member of the family before.
He thought so in his mind, and then got up and followed Chi Yuxian in front.
The other party was dressed in black, so he stood out among the crowd, not to mention holding an umbrella with red plum blossoms on a white background.
I also relied on these points to recognize the other party.
Hu Fei walked quickly to Chi Yuxian and looked sideways at the umbrella in his hand. It looked ordinary and nothing special.
"Mr. Chi, it's a sunny day today, why are you holding an umbrella?"
"Is it going to rain?" he said, raising his head and looking at the cloudless sky.
Chi Yuxian's demeanor did not change after hearing his inquiry, and his tone seemed as if he was chatting at home: "I'm used to it."
His explanation sounded a bit perfunctory, but Hu Fei was not the kind of person who didn't know how to read eyes, so he just smiled after hearing this.
There are many people in the city, and there are not many places suitable for competition. In addition, the two of them are not locals, so they don't know much about the open space there.
Therefore, they hit it off immediately and went straight to the outside of the city where there were few people around, a little distance from the official road.
Chi Yuxian stood opposite Hu Fei. On the surface, he looked extremely calm, but in fact, he was calculating in his heart whether to copy and paste the other party's Hu family's sword skills.
In fact, when he was in Huizhou, he copied and pasted someone's Hu family swordsmanship, but the other person didn't practice it very well, only the form.
Compared with the upright successors, there is definitely a gap.
Forget it, anyway, there are too many skills to overcome.
Chi Yuxian thought in his heart, so he held the handle of the knife in his backhand and silently pulled out the knife.
When he picked up the knife, his whole demeanor changed. If he was usually like a stone in the dark, then he holding the knife was like an arrow already on the string.
Facing this change, Hu Fei's expression gradually became serious, and he also pulled out his knife.
The name of his sword was the Cold Moon Sword, and it really lived up to its name. The blade was silver-white, like a crescent moon in the night sky, shining with a cold light.
Chi Yuxian also became serious. Looking at the knife in Hu Fei's hand, excitement arose in his chest.
His eyes were shining with an inexplicable light, as if he was expecting, but also as if he was unrestrained.
Hu Fei couldn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said softly, "I'm offended." Then he used the strength of his toes and raised his sword to stab Chi Yuxian.
At the beginning, Chi Yuxian used the Hu family's sword technique copied and pasted from the previous strong man to compete with Hu Fei.
But it was obvious that he was defeated in just ten moves. Then he switched to other techniques to defend step by step, and none of them were offensive.
Hu Fei's eyes were always wary of Chi Yuxian. There must be something special about him being said to be the best in the world.
The two swords collided, making bursts of slightly harsh sounds. The fallen leaves on the ground a few feet away from the two people were blown to the sky by the knife wind, and then fell flutteringly outside the open space.
Hu Fei has experienced hundreds of battles and is definitely not something Chi Yuxian can withstand.
The curled knife in his hand was already on the verge of breaking.
"We can't let this go on any longer."
Chi Yuxian's eyebrows were downcast, and the defensive moves he had been using suddenly changed, without any warning, into attacking.
This sword technique opens and closes wildly, with a fierce momentum, sweeping in like an autumn wind blowing down leaves.
It looked familiar. Only then did Hu Fei truly believe what the family member said.
It turns out that there are really people who can perfectly learn other people's exclusive martial arts just by watching.
Chi Yuxian has no internal strength and is at a disadvantage in this situation. The fragile blade could no longer hold up, and without the infusion of internal energy, it was broken into two pieces by the horizontal blow of the Lengyue sword after a dozen strokes.
When the blade fell to the ground, he grabbed the closed umbrella with his backhand and used the umbrella as a blade to stab at the opponent while Hu Fei was stunned.
With a "pop", the other half of the knife held in his other hand fell to the ground, and the tip of the umbrella reached directly to Hu Fei's throat. If it were replaced by a knife, it would only be one step away from wiping his throat.
"I lost."
Hu Fei put down the cold moon sword in his hand and smiled helplessly.
"I won't win with force." Chi Yuxian put down the hand holding the umbrella and said calmly. He knew in his heart that he couldn't beat Hu Fei with his current level.
This time he was able to succeed only because he caught the other party's stunned moment. Otherwise, he would have been put on his shoulder by the cold moon sword of the other party.
"You are indeed a genius."
Hu Fei sighed and said that when he heard about it before, he thought it was so amazing, but when he was at the scene, he could feel how amazing it was.
After all, it only took a quarter and a half minutes from his first move to the opponent's counterattack.
Facing Hu Fei's praise, Chi Yuxian moved his eyes slightly, but his inner thoughts could not be seen on the surface.
A bit pretentious.
He turned around and picked up the knife that fell on the ground. Seeing this, Hu Fei behind him first apologized and then said that he would compensate him.
"Need not."
Chi Yuxian stuffed the broken knife into the scabbard and rejected the opponent: "This knife won't last long."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and glanced at Hu Fei, nodded slightly and said, "Goodbye."
Hu Fei only had time to say goodbye. Before he could say anything else, Chi Yuxian had already walked away.
The autumn wind blew the other party's slightly loose black clothes, an umbrella, a broken knife, and a person. Surrounded by a forest of dead trees, the sun was golden and silent, falling all over the ground.
*
There were few people outside the city, and Chi Yuxian was often in a daze. When he came to his senses, he was already standing at the entrance of Baihua Tower.
Chi Yuxian: "..."
He said nothing, leaving no one guessing what he was thinking.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, a familiar voice came from the second floor: "You are a guest when you come, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Huamanlou heard the footsteps when the other party was about to approach. Chi Yuxian was not a martial artist, so the footsteps were not deliberately hidden and could easily be heard.
"Accidentally..." Chi Yuxian turned around after hearing Hua Manlou's voice and opened his mouth to explain why he came here.
But as soon as he said the words, he didn't know how to continue. He stood alone at the door, frowning and confused.
Hua Manlou could probably guess what he was thinking from his tone, so she smiled and said, "Aren't you coming in?"
This sentence is said very gently, like the wind blowing in your face when walking by the lake in summer, with a faint fragrance of lotus, which makes people can't help but squint their eyes leisurely.
Chi Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to laugh but couldn't.
It's just that he was in a good mood today. When he heard Huamanlou's words that were like an invitation, he decisively stepped into Baihualou.
Flowers are still in full bloom in the Baihua Building. As soon as you enter, you feel like you have entered some big garden.
The flowers are fragrant, and there are many butterflies and bees flying around.
Chi Yuxian closed his umbrella and went to the second floor. Huamanlou had just finished making tea when he walked over. When he heard the noise, he smiled and poured him a cup of tea.
The water vapor is thick, carrying the fragrance of tea. There are flowers all around, but at this moment, they are like a background to set off the flower-filled building sitting in front of you.
The other party's appearance is excellent, and the soft temperament around him makes him even more stunning.
Chi Yuxian withdrew his gaze, walked slowly over and sat down.
With a "pop" sound, he placed the broken knife in his hand on the table and whispered: "Excuse me."
“What’s the definition of intrusion between friends?”
Hua Manlou said with a smile.
"friend?"
After Chi Yuxian heard what he said, he asked in a low voice, as if he had some doubts about the friend Hua Manlou said.
