Zhu Yuyan felt a strong sense of strangeness when she looked at the biological daughter in front of her whom she had not seen for twenty years.
Shan Meixian back then was very similar to Huanwan today, or perhaps Huanwan was originally trained according to Shan Meixian's past appearance.
But now Shan Meixian, although as cold as before, is no longer as charming and mysterious as before, let alone the evil spirit of the Yingui sect.
Shan Meixian looked at the mother who wanted to betray her back then, and the deep love between mother and daughter had long since disappeared.
"I wish you all the best, Sect Master?"
"Haha, Mrs. Dongming!"
"Zhu Zongzong, you can decide whether today will be war or peace."
Zhu Yuyan joked: "We haven't seen each other for twenty years, and you already think you are better than being a mother?"
Shan Meixian felt calm in her heart and said with a smile: "I don't dare. In today's world, there are probably only a few people who dare to say that they will win against Sect Master Zhu, so I am not the only one who is going on this trip."
In the bamboo sea in the secluded forest, the wind blows, and the bamboo shadows roll like waves, accompanied by a lonely and distant sound of the flute, which is fascinating.
Zhu Yuyan's face changed, and she said hehe: "It turns out that she who has been hiding from the world for twenty years is here. I didn't expect that you would join forces with her, an old enemy in the past."
Shan Meixian smiled sincerely, "Just to know whether he is still alive."
Zhu Yuyan said: "The battle at Yinxiang Pavilion was not only made known to the world."
"Who can judge whether it is true or false?"
As she spoke, Shan Meixian smiled gently at Xu Ziling. This was the third time the two of them had met.
In the past, Xu Ziling and Koo Zhong mingled with the Haisha Clan and secretly helped the Dongming Sect gain the appreciation of Shan Meixian, who invited them to go to the Ryukyu Islands with them.
Shuanglong did not like the custom of men marrying women in the Dongming sect, so he politely declined, but this offended Shan Wanjing, a proud personality. At this time, Shan Wanjing still looked at Xu Ziling without looking seriously.
In the bamboo forest, the sound of flute gradually approached, and a green figure gracefully appeared in front of everyone.
She is Bi Xiuxin, the descendant of Jingzhai who attracted countless heroes from the previous generation of martial arts.
It is said that beauty ages easily, but this natural law has no effect at all on many women such as Cihang Jingzhai and Yingui sect.
Bi Xiu's beauty remains as beautiful as ever, but sometimes it's not the beauty that ages, but the heart.
The martial arts people present who had never seen Bi Xiuxin couldn't help but look surprised and curious.
Xu Ziling couldn't help but compare Xu Qingxuan and Bi Xiuxin. Thinking about it this way, he felt that she had inherited all the advantages of her parents. However, compared with Bi Xiuxin, they were still just about equal, each with its own characteristics.
As soon as she thought of Xu Qingxuan, Xu Qingxuan walked out of an unknown corner dejectedly and came to Bi Xiuxin obediently.
"Mom, you won't blame your daughter for acting without permission, right?"
Bi Xiuxin sighed and said: "You hate Shi Zhixuan, and you also hate the people around him, so you set up this game, hoping that Mr. Hou and Mr. Yang will lose both sides in the fight, so that you can profit from it. It's a shame.
How could someone else easily become a chess piece in your hands, as God has determined, you should remember this lesson in the future."
Xu Qingxuan snorted and turned his head away. He didn't hear it at all. The eyes he looked at Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan were still full of threats.
Hou Xibai smiled bitterly. Yang Xuyan also knew that the result tonight could only be this, so he didn't stop much at the moment and used Qinggong to leave with You Niaojuan and Anlong.
Bi Xiuxin looked at Zhu Yuyan, saluted slightly and said: "Zhu Zongzhu, tonight ends here, what do you think?"
In front of the two of them, even Zhu Yuyan had no confidence that she could fight one against two, not to mention that none of the junior masters facing her were easy to deal with. Of course, she would not confront them head-on and walk away with Huanwan.
Before leaving, Hanhan looked at Xu Ziling and smiled and said: "Ziling is surrounded by so many beauties and confidantes, which makes Hanhan especially jealous. Next time we meet, if we can't stay with Hanhan all day long, don't expect it to end so easily."
No one could tell whether the ambiguity in the words of this elf-like woman was true or false. Hou Xibai was very satisfied with having mastered half of the Immortal Seal. He smiled at Xu Ziling and said, "Brother Ziling is so lucky."
Xu Ziling was extremely embarrassed.
Shan Meixian laughed twice and looked at Bi Xiuxin.
"Sister, are you willing to tell the truth?"
Bi Xiuxin was silent for a moment and said: "His tomb... is indeed empty."
Everyone else was confused, but Shan Wanjing and Xu Qingxuan were shocked.
Xu Qingxuan said: "Mom, I know who the man in Yinxiang Pavilion is. It can't be dad."
She had been holding back from looking at Xu Ziling, but Shan Wanjing echoed: "I feel the same way."
Xu Qingxuan felt somewhat superior in front of Shan Wanjing, an illegitimate daughter, and sarcastically said: "Where do you get the feeling?"
The keen Shan Wanjing couldn't hear the ridicule in Xu Qingxuan's words, so she became furious and pointed her sword at Xu Qingxuan.
"Dad has been respected for his swordsmanship all his life, but you abandon the sword, so you can be called the daughter of the sword god!"
A sly smile appeared in Xu Qingxuan's eyes. She didn't care at all about Shan Wanjing's hot-tempered threats, and said with a smile: "Don't you know better than anyone else whether she is the daughter of the Sword God or not?"
How could Bi Xiuxin not know that this daughter was full of bad intentions and was very much like her father in some aspects, so if they continued to quarrel, Shan Wanjing would be very angry with her.
"Qingxuan, I didn't ask you to speak, so shut up!"
Bi Xiuxin was most afraid of her mother, and she couldn't bear to be angry with Shan Wanjing for a while.
Shan Wanjing also put away her sword under Shan Meixian's accusation, but the anger in her heart could not be relieved for a while.
Shan Meixian said seriously: "Since his tomb is empty, sister, you have been living here for a long time. Do you know when the change occurred?"
Bi Xiuxin recalled: "I have been living beside you for these years and have often visited graves. Even if there are some more plants and some fewer flowers, I will definitely be aware of it.
But since he was buried, no changes have been noticed in the tomb."
"Did you bury the person yourself?"
"Yes."
"If he is really alive, if he crawls out, will he come to you?"
Bi Xiuxin has been unwilling to think about this issue, because once she thinks deeply, what Shi Zhixuan once said to her will involuntarily linger in her mind.
"Xu Yin is a pure swordsman. A pure swordsman must only be loyal to the sword in his heart, so he will never fall in love with a woman. Otherwise, a passionate swordsman will never use such a sword with no retreat!"
The essence of Xu Yin's swordsmanship is ruthless and selfless, so if he is really alive, it makes perfect sense that he has avoided seeing their mother and daughter for more than ten years.
Bi Xiuxin couldn't help but clenched the jade flute in her hand. She didn't want to admit that sometimes, the truth of the matter was so cruel.
She suddenly turned around and turned her back to Shan Meixian.
"Just knowing that he is still alive in the world may be enough."
Shan Meixian understands Xu Yin's ruthlessness more thoroughly than Bi Xiuxin, or maybe it's because she hasn't enjoyed the affection that Xu Yin has given her for ten years like Bi Xiuxin.
