The sword roared through the air, its speed was as fast as thunder and lightning.
But when he was still half a foot away from the stone slab, a naked figure suddenly stood up.
He was still holding a bucket of hot water in his hand and looked at Mu Yuanqing blankly.
The sword edge directly penetrated the barrel, and Mu Yuanqing was stunned when he saw this man's face.
Isn't this the same river we saw in the palace yesterday?
Now he is shirtless, with wet hair, and holding a steaming wooden bucket in his hand. It looks like he is... taking a bath?
Mu Yuanqing's eyes uncontrollably glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu's lower body...
"ah!"
Mu Yuanqing screamed in surprise, didn't even want the spiritual sword, turned around and ran away a few feet away.
"Senior Sister Mu? Your sword!"
Jiang Xiaoyu pulled out the spiritual sword and threw it towards Mu Yuanqing.
A jet of water suddenly spurted out from the barrel.
"Don't waste the hot water you finally got!" As he said that, Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the bucket and poured it over his head.
Then, he threw the barrel aside, picked up a white handkerchief, and wiped his cheeks.
"Senior Sister Mu? What are you doing?" Mu Yuanqing turned his back to Jiang Xiaoyu, his lips trembling with anger.
Normally, she would have killed this abrupt libertine alive. But this is the Sifang Academy, and she has more important tasks here. Once she alerts the snake...
Mu Yuanqing gasped for air. When her breathing became more even, she stammered: "I... couldn't sleep at night, so I just took a walk."
"Oh!" Jiang Xiaoyu ignored her and said while drying himself: "What a coincidence. I can't sleep either. There are not many people in this place. I was just about to hide here and take a shower..."
"You don't know, I've had insomnia since I was a child. Every time I couldn't sleep at night, I would rinse it with a bucket like this, and when I got back, I would fall asleep in bed!"
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Mu Yuanqing and said, "Since senior sister also has insomnia, do you want to try my method?"
"I..."
"Hey!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the barrel was pierced by senior sister... What a pity!"
Veins popped up on Mu Yuanqing's face. She suppressed her anger and whispered: "That's no need. I'm really sorry for disturbing Junior Brother Jiang. I'm leaving first!"
With that said, Mu Yuanqing held his heaving chest and walked away.
"Sister! Your sword!"
When Mu Yuanqing heard this, her footsteps suddenly stopped. At this time, she was already on the verge of collapse.
But that spiritual sword is a treasure that he needs to live and work on, so he can't just throw it here.
Having no other choice, she gritted her teeth and turned around, her head almost buried on the ground, and walked towards the direction of the spirit sword.
Even though her head was lowered to this level, she still accidentally saw Jiang Xiaoyu's naked upper body from the corner of her eye.
At this moment, he was wiping his armpits without any scruples...
Grabbing the spirit sword on the ground, Mu Yuanqing couldn't bear it any longer. It felt like the wind had stepped on his feet.
"Sister, walk slowly..."
...
In a remote room, Jiang Xiaoyu, Chu Xue, and Zhu Rusheng were leaning against a small table. The candlelight on the table was so weak that it almost went out.
"It must not be a coincidence!" Zhu Rusheng pinched his beard and said firmly.
"There are people guarding the forbidden area. I asked you to get rid of one of the guards on purpose at first, just to see if these three people had any shady purpose. Unexpectedly, I guessed it right." Chu Xue looked at Jiang Xiao.
Yu, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Their arrival at Sifang Academy is a very suspicious thing. Now, they actually break into the forbidden area without permission. It seems that there is indeed something wrong."
Zhu Rusheng's eyes were slightly vacant and his face was filled with worry, and he slowly said: "There are no secret treasures in our Sifang Academy that are worthy of being coveted by people in the cultivation world. Even if someone spreads such a rumor, almost no one can believe it. But they
It still appears here, so there are some things we have to guard against!"
"You mean..." Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Zhu Rusheng with an expression of disbelief, "They connected Sifang Academy with the Beast Control Sect?"
"If it is true that the Sifang Academy and the Beast Control Sect are connected, it is impossible for only the three of them to come!"
Chu Xue glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu, then at Zhu Rusheng, and said, "Since there are only three of them here now, it means that they probably just heard some rumors, and they are not sure yet."
"However, once they react to what happened tonight, they will know that Xiaoyu's appearance is definitely not a coincidence. Knowing that we did it deliberately will obviously make them think that their assumptions about us are very likely.
it is true."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu said worriedly: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have appeared there!"
Chuxue shook her head and said: "If we don't stop her, once the secrets under the forbidden area are exposed, it will be a huge disaster. If they are not allowed to enter the forbidden area, they will deepen their speculations. Once they come in, they will do anything to us.
To put it bluntly, it was a dead move. To bring this game back to life, we can only hope that their arrival and their actions are all coincidences."
"There is no way in the world such a coincidence!"
"No matter what, we must prepare for the worst!" Zhu Rusheng glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and Chuxue, and continued: "Sifang Academy, I'm afraid there will be instability. For your safety, I think you should avoid the limelight.
Already."
Chuxue smiled calmly and said, "Dean Zhu, we may not be safe after leaving Sifang Academy. Here, at least we still have our own territory. After we leave, we will really be the slaves of the sword and the flesh of the fish."
"But...it's better than being a turtle in a urn!"
"Forget it, forget it!" Jiang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "Don't be a fish for a while, a turtle for a while. Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, there are so many things. I think we are just too nervous,
That’s why it’s like this.”
"You know, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Chuxue as he said that, "Chuxue, don't you think so?"
"Yeah!" Although Chuxue felt that what Jiang Xiaoyu said made sense, she still added: "We still have to make preparations! It's best to let them leave voluntarily first!"
"But? How can we make them leave voluntarily?"
When talking about this issue, everyone couldn't help but fell silent.
...
At this time, Mu Yuanqing had a gloomy look on his face. Just when he walked to the door of the room, Wei Shuyang's voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?"
Mu Yuanqing froze, obviously frightened.
"master?"
"You still know that I am your master? You don't even listen to what I say!"
After hearing this, Mu Yuanqing hurried to Wei Shuyang's residence.
"You are still running to me? When will your character become more mature? Go back and stay here as if nothing happened!"
...
At the foot of Yangma Mountain, around Wen Zhiming, three great elders, Long, Hu and Suzaku, were sitting together. Not far behind them, there was also a rising star of the sect headed by Lu Yi.
Lin Zhihuan was the first to speak: "Regardless of whether Sifang Academy has colluded with the Beast Control Sect, let's just say that Lu Haodang's matter was not arranged beautifully. We rushed here in a hurry, but they have already set off for Sifang City. If Sifang
The academy is really involved with the Beast Control Sect, so this first achievement was taken away by them, and we have no chance at all."
"That's right!" Qiao Kaishan, the elder of Hushan, followed Lin Zhihuan's words and said: "Our Beast Control Sect has been the head of the righteous sect for thousands of years. The only one who is unconvinced is Lu Haodang. This time, not only will we win
He has succeeded to the position of leader of the Celestial Master, and secretly wants to marginalize our Four Symbols Sect. How big is his plan?"
Ye Hongyi, the elder of Zhuque Mountain, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said: "It was Lu Haodang who was lucky enough to catch our pigtails, otherwise..."
Wen Zhiming shook his head and spoke slowly: "You can just talk about these words behind closed doors, but don't let others hear it! Although I don't care about the position of leader, I will never
We will let Qinghongxuan surpass our Four Symbol Sect. Otherwise, the backbones of everyone here will be pierced!"
"Master Tian, what are you going to do?"
"It seems that we have to travel under the stars and night! Leave the disciples behind and inform Amitabha Temple who has not yet arrived..."
