Chu Tianshu's pupils instantly condensed into glow.
Chu Xidao and Huangfu Zhaonan also changed their expressions. Chu Xidao suddenly stood up, took out the iron fan from the brocade box, and stepped across the tea table.
As red flames bloomed between Ghost Hand's brows, the Qi Sword extended from his middle finger suddenly became more condensed, and its power surged more than a hundred or ten times.
Chu Tianshu was directly shaken away, and he took several steps back with a thud.
His right hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and his entire right arm felt numb.
Guishou's eyes fluctuated for the first time, but his expression remained unchanged. He said calmly: "It's good to be my striker."
Chu Tianshu's eyes were serious, but he did not flinch.
He raised his arm, raised the long knife, and said in a deep voice: "Come again."
The ghost hand slowly raised his right hand, with his index and middle fingers together, and the air sword in front of his finger suddenly extended forward again, becoming more than one meter long and twice as wide as before.
The Gang Qi around Chu Tianshu's body fluctuated, and the long black sword was also completely wrapped in a layer of surging energy.
Chu Xidao took two steps forward and said coldly: "Guishou, do you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
Guishou said calmly: "I have to obey the old lady's order, and please forgive me, Third Young Master."
At this time, Huangfu Zhaonan stepped forward and stood between Gui Shou and Chu Tianshu. He faced Gui Shou and said, "I want to lend you a step. I have a few words to say to you."
Guishou said: "What did you say?"
"Come out with me."
Huangfu Zhaonan took a few steps out, then paused: "We have fought side by side for so many years, you won't give me this little face, right?"
The air sword in front of Gui's finger disappeared and he followed Huangfu Zhaonan out with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Shiyuan was also frightened by the scene just now. When she saw Guishou going out, she got up and threw herself into Chu Tianshu's arms.
Chu Tianshu leaned forward and kissed the woman's forehead, comforting her softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Qiao Shiyuan shook her head: "I'm not afraid."
Chu Xidao sat down at the table again and said quietly: "If you want to be with him, you have to be prepared to face this."
Chu Tianshu frowned and said with some displeasure: "Stop talking."
Qiao Shiyuan lowered her eyes and said sadly: "I can't help you with anything."
Chu Tianshu held up the woman's pretty face and said dotingly: "Silly, if it weren't for you, I would still be in the street, confused. You helped me too much."
Huangfu Zhaonan turned around through the nearby arch and came to the small garden with a glass dome.
Ghost Hand asked: "What do you want to say?
Do you want me to let him go?"
Huangfu Zhaonan smiled: "After so many years, you still haven't changed at all. You said that you don't want to be near strangers. Are you really planning to die alone?"
Guishou asked back: "Isn't this good?"
Huangfu Zhaonan shook his head: "Who will provide for you in the future?"
Guishou said: "Even if you are dead, do you know where others will bury you?
Is it important?"
Huangfu Zhaonan looked back at Guishou, his eyes flashing slightly: "Do you still remember the only child who was not afraid of you and hugged you without letting go?"
For the first time, Guishou showed an irritated look. He gritted his teeth, turned around and avoided Huangfu Zhaonan's gaze, looked at the brilliant flowers in front of him with his hands behind his hands, and said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I don't know if you are really lonely. No one, no matter adults or children, likes you. If a child is paid attention to by you, it will scare him to tears."
Huangfu Zhaonan smiled: "The only exception is the Third Young Master's child. Not only has he not been afraid of you since he was a child, but he also likes to pester you. He laughs when he sees you, and he is even willing to give you toys that no one can take away from him.
.”
The sharpness of the ghost hands disappeared, and his eyes became softer.
He subconsciously reached into his arms and took out a small pocket rattle.
The small rattle with a rosewood handle seems to have been played with frequently and has become patinated.
Seeing this, Huangfu Zhaonan smiled even more: "If the old lady hadn't had such a strong sense of respect and inferiority in her heart, the third young master and his wife would have asked their children to recognize you as their godfather."
Guishou sighed: "Don't say any more."
Huangfu Zhaonan said: "Even if you don't miss the old relationship with the Third Young Master, you still have to remember the grace of my wife for saving your life, right?"
Guishou said: "I am the old lady's servant, so naturally I have to obey her instructions. Besides, what does this matter have to do with the lady?
Why did you drag her into this?"
"What if Chu Tianshu is the child of the third young master and his wife?"
Huangfu Zhaonan's tone was solemn, "Do you still think this matter has nothing to do with Madam?"
Guishou suddenly turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
Huangfu Zhaonan stared into Guishou's eyes: "Let me tell you, Chu Tianshu, who you just fought with, is the child of the Third Young Master and his wife, the only child who was willing to get close to you back then."
The red flames between Guishou's brows lit up, and Gang Qi surged around his body: "Say it again."
Huangfu Zhaonan was not at all frightened by the profound master in front of him. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are not deaf, how many times do you want me to repeat it?"
After a while, Guishou calmed down and asked, "Why don't you disclose his identity?"
Huangfu Zhaonan said: "Now is not the time."
Ghost Hand asked: "Why?"
"You guy."
Huangfu Zhaonan tapped the ghost hand with his finger, "You have high IQ and deep cultivation, but your EQ is too low."
Guishou's tone was calm: "It sounds like you have a high emotional intelligence."
Huangfu Zhaonan curled his lips: "My emotional intelligence was indeed not much better than yours before, but I am no longer the person I used to be."
Guishou said: "I don't have time to talk nonsense to you, answer me, since he is that child, why do you hide his identity?"
"We are protecting him."
Huangfu Zhaonan took two steps closer to Guishou, "Do you think that if we reveal his identity, some people will be willing to let him recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, and then inherit the Chu family and the Guwu Alliance?"
Guishou's eyes flickered, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Huangfu Zhaonan said: "You will protect him for my wife, right?"
Guishou said nothing, put away the rattle, turned around and walked out.
Seeing Guishou return to Junlin Pavilion, Chu Tianshu narrowed his eyes and said: "Do you want to fight again?
come."
"You... are very good..."
Guishou stared deeply at Chu Tianshu, then turned around and left.
Qiao Shiyuan said in surprise: "What does he mean?"
Chu Tianshu was also a little confused: "How did I know?"
He looked at Huangfu Zhaonan who came in next: "Uncle Nan, what did you say to that weirdo?"
"I didn't say anything. I just told him how to behave in the world."
Huangfu Zhaonan said with a smile: "That's just how he is. He doesn't understand the world. I taught him a lot of lessons back then."
Chu Tianshu said: "I always feel like you are talking nonsense."
Huangfu Zhaonan said: "Then why do you think he left suddenly?"
