Hearing Qiao Xiaopang's soliloquy, Xiao Lixue couldn't help but feel elated. Isn't this exactly the effect they wanted to achieve? She pretended to sigh with regret and said: "It's a pity that you are not a disciple of our Chiyun Sect. This set of swordsmanship
Only we disciples of the Red Cloud Sect can learn it, otherwise I can ask my master to teach you."
"Ah? Uh..." Qiao Xiaopang pretended to be stunned, then showed an embarrassed look on his face and smiled unnaturally, "Yes, yes, this is your sect's martial arts... I was just talking casually,
There is no other meaning…”
"It's okay." Xiao Lixue smiled magnanimously and thought to herself, Master said not to mention recruiting them today, otherwise now would be a good opportunity... Forget it, they are already interested anyway, let's talk about it next time when we have a chance.
She suddenly remembered something, rolled her eyes and said, "Young Master Qiao, there is something I have always wanted to ask you..."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Xiaopang stared at Wan Lijiang who was practicing Qigong and replied casually.
"That's it...when the General's Mansion recruited you, why didn't you go?" Xiao Lixue asked.
"The General's Mansion?" Qiao Xiaopang's attention was still focused on Wan Lijiang, and he said casually, "The General's Mansion just said it wanted to recruit us, and there was no real benefit at all. We are not stupid, so go there.
What are you doing? Being a soldier is not an easy job. How can we be as relaxed as we are now?"
"Oh, so that's the reason." Xiao Lixue smiled.
"Isn't that right? The person sent by the General's Palace last time was stingy. He didn't even treat us to a meal, and even kicked us out when it was time to eat." Qiao Xiaopang complained casually, still staring at
Wanli River.
"That's a bit stingy..." Xiao Lixue agreed with a smile.
She thought she understood the truth of the matter and was secretly happy, but she didn't notice the cunning look flashing in Qiao Xiaopang's eyes...
…
After admiring the morning exercises of the disciples of the Chiyun Sect, at the invitation of Xiao Lixue, Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang had another breakfast with them, and then everyone set off on their way.
Xiao Lixue found an opportunity, ran to Tang Zhenghao, and recounted how Qiao Xiaopang and Qiao Xiaopang were envious of the Chiyun Sect's martial arts, as well as Qiao Xiaopang's complaints about the General's Mansion, and said with a smile: "It's probably because of the General's Mansion's sect.
If the people who go don’t take them seriously, they won’t want to go.”
"It seems that these two boys are masters of not letting go of hawks before they see rabbits..." Wan Lijiang happened to be beside Tang Zhenghao and said with a smile, "Master, should we give them a little sweet taste?"
Tang Zhenghao smiled and said: "In that case, it's easy to handle. These two guys are casual cultivators and have never seen anything good. Just give them some benefits these two days."
"Master is wise." Xiao Lixue smiled.
…
In the next two days, Xia Yu and the others followed the Chi Yun sect, and Tang Zhenghao was naturally the leader on the way. It happened that the direction they were walking was also towards the original destination of Xia Yu and the others, including Tang Zhenghao and a group of the Chi Yun sect.
With everyone here, of course they are not afraid of ordinary monsters. Xia Yu and the others no longer have to deliberately avoid the monster's territory, which is quite relaxing.
I don’t know if Xia Yu was right. Along the way, Xiao Lixue came to talk to the two of them from time to time. She always talked to Qiao Xiaopang a lot, and she often brought some delicious food to the two of them.
People eat it, and the euphemistic name is to let the two people "have a taste". Of course, most of the delicious food went into Qiao Xiaopang's belly. For this reason, Xia Yu secretly laughed at Qiao Xiaopang for having a romantic relationship. This is also right.
Fatty used to laugh at his revenge.
…
The news of the "treasure born" in Nanshui Swamp this time also attracted some other people. Those who came to Nanshui Swamp to look for "treasures" were not only the groups of sect disciples, but also some loners.
Past masters and powerful casual cultivators
Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang didn't know that there was a person staying about fifty miles away from where they and the Red Cloud Sect were staying. They all knew this person. Not only did they know him, but he also made Qiao Xiaopang deeply resentful.
.
This man has been staying here for an hour. During this time, he did not sleep or eat or drink. Instead, he sat there with his eyes closed and adjusted his breath, as if he was preparing for a war.
After adjusting his breath, the man stood up and headed towards a lake in the distance. His steps seemed slow but fast. The lake was obviously still a long way away from where he was, but under his feet,
This stretch of road was nothing at all. But before his people arrived, an oppressive aura had already enveloped the lake.
For a moment, all the sounds between heaven and earth seemed to disappear.
The chirping of cicadas, the chirping of birds, and the roars of beasts all disappeared, and the originally vibrant scene immediately turned into a dead silence. The animals instinctively felt fear, restrained their auras, and hid in a certain place shivering.
Even the plants nearby seemed to feel some kind of strange pressure in the air, and they all dropped their branches and leaves and stood still.
The wind has stopped.
In this silence, a figure in white walked slowly over. He was the man in white who drank with Xia Yu that day. Although he seemed to have calmed the place with his momentum, his expression was not like that of the man who drank with Xia Yu that day.
He was so relaxed when drinking. His sword was already hanging on his waist and could be drawn out at any time. His expression was solemn and his eyes were looking around, as if he was looking for something.
In his feeling, the "thing" he was looking for was not far away.
About half a year ago, he accidentally got the news about this "treasure", and this "treasure" is of great use to him now. For this, he traveled thousands of miles to the southwest and entered the South Water Swamp.
, I searched carefully for a long time, and finally found it here today.
He knew that the "treasure" was nearby, because he had already felt the throbbing from the depths of his soul. He should have been happy to have found the place after all the hard work, but for some reason, he felt faint
There is a feeling that it may be difficult for him to get his hands on this "treasure".
This feeling was very strange. Logically speaking, apart from the "treasure" itself, there should be nothing that could pose a threat to him nearby.
He knew that Fatty Xia Yuqiao, the Red Cloud Sect, and others were only more than fifty miles away from here, but he also knew that although the Red Cloud Sect was looking for "treasures," their current direction was not here.
