Looking at Xiao Huaian in front of her, Xia Xue's eyes were dazed for a moment, but soon calmed down and said lightly, "It doesn't matter."
Xiao Huaian saw the subtle changes in her emotions clearly, and felt some fluctuations in his heart, but it soon turned into helplessness.
He had long noticed that Xia Xue's attitude towards him seemed a bit subtle, but for some reason it stopped there and never gave him a chance to go further.
But Xiao Huaian was not discouraged. He had plenty of time and opportunities to let Xia Xue know.
He is a man who matches her well and is also her best choice!
He smiled immediately, followed Xia Xue's eyes, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Fellow Taoist Xia Xue, do you know who lives in this manor now?"
Xia Xue shook her head.
"The supreme lineage!" Xiao Huaian's eyes showed seriousness and admiration, "Now the swordsmanship in the world is prosperous, and strong men are emerging one after another."
"Some people say that it is because the Great Wilderness died and lost all his sword energy and fell into the world that the current grand situation is achieved."
"And the Taishang lineage is the leader of the swordsmanship in the world today... It is the top force in the world!"
The Xiao family was once among them, and was one of the eight major dependent families.
But the ancient being he worshiped and believed in has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years. There has been no response from the clan, and the news has been difficult to cover up.
If it weren't for the clan elders and elders running around and making arrangements one after another, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even maintain the current situation.
This world is so cruel.
Where there is rise, there is also fall.
Xiao Huai'an's head dropped, and then he was filled with great pride. When men of our generation stand in this world, how can we only look up to our ancestors' legacy?
So what if the Xiao family is in decline? I will rise against the trend and try to save the world!
Xia Xue vaguely guessed what Xiao Huaian was thinking now. Looking at his bright eyes, she secretly thought that this person was also outstanding and had lofty ambitions.
It's a pity that she only focuses on martial arts and doesn't have any feelings between men and women.
"No wonder there is such a terrifying sword breath hanging over the manor... Is it from the Supreme Lineage..." A figure appeared in Xia Xue's mind, "I have an old friend who is a very powerful sword cultivator... His sword
...It also has some of this kind of artistic conception..."
Strong, domineering, and arrogant!
Once the sword falls, everything will be unable to stop it, and the sky and the earth will be eclipsed.
Xiao Huaian smiled, but he didn't take it seriously.
There are hundreds of millions of sword cultivators in the world, how many of them can have the supreme demeanor? Even if it is one or two points, it is extremely rare. He said casually, "Fellow Taoist Xia Xue said this, your old friend must be an extremely powerful swordsman."
Xia Xue noticed his perfunctory behavior, but didn't say anything.
The other party does have the qualifications to be proud. Even without mentioning his origin and background, his status as the Nine-Blooded Martial Emperor can be called the genius of the world.
"I don't know what's going on with you now... This world is much more exciting than what you and I know... We used to be considered frogs in the well..."
"But fortunately, I have barely caught up now...Luo Guan...what about you? I wonder if you still remember the promise we made back then..."
"I hope to see you again
, don’t fall too far behind... Otherwise, the road is endless, and I’m afraid I really won’t be able to find you..."
For a moment, Xia Xue felt confused.
At this moment, a ray of light came from the sky and fell in front of Xiao Huaian, revealing a Xiao family monk and respectfully said, "Sir, the person you are looking for has been found."
While speaking, he held up a jade slip with both hands.
Xiao Huaian's eyes lit up, he took the jade slip and looked into his mind. After a few breaths, he laughed loudly, "Okay, I finally found it, and it's on Iron Rock Island!" He glanced at Xia Xue from the corner of his eye. Everything was going well recently.
He secretly thought that this woman was indeed his lucky star.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huaian's tone became more gentle, "Fellow Daoist Xia Xue, you and I will be stationed on Iron Rock Island. It just so happens that the person my Xiao family is looking for has already been found. I would like you to come with me for another trip."
."
Xia Xue said calmly, "The order from the Temple of Martial Arts requires me to cooperate with Fellow Daoist Xiao in doing things. As long as it does not go against my will, I will cooperate. Fellow Daoist Xiao does not have to be so polite."
Xiao Huaian heard the alienation, but he was used to it. He smiled and said, "Let's go and find the advance team to land on the island."
The group of people soared into the sky and soon arrived at the Temple of Martial Arts, where they settled temporarily on Iron Rock Island.
Yuan Tong led the people to greet them in a hurry, with smiles on their faces, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Daoist Xia Xue, and Yuan have been waiting eagerly for them. The two of them are finally here. Don't be surprised if you are a little far away from us!"
They are both protectors, but their actual identities and statuses are very different. Yuan Tong knows Xiao Huaian's origins, how dare he stand up to him.
As for Xia Xue... tsk tsk! This one has become very famous in the Martial God Temple in recent years and is recognized as the seed of the Martial God.
Her bloodline is pure and her martial will is firm. After being trained in the palace, her cultivation has improved greatly in just a few years, and she has already broken the record of being the youngest Martial Emperor. There are even rumors that she may achieve the position of Martial God within fifty years!
Xia Xue didn't like to talk, but Xiao Huaian immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Guardian Yuan Tong is so polite. You and I have come under orders. We should work together to serve the Martial God Temple."
"Exactly, exactly!" Yuantong invited everyone into the hall and was about to announce his preparations for the reception banquet, but Xiao Huaian waved his hand and refused, "No need to bother, but Xiao has something else, and he wants to ask Protector Yuantong for help?"
Yuan Tong was startled, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please speak."
Xiao Huaian said calmly, "I have received a mission from outside the Temple of Martial Arts, and I need to recruit a few people to help. I heard that there are many talents under the command of Protector Yuantong, and I hope the Protector can help."
Yuan Tong thought to himself, you are a direct descendant of the Xiao family, what kind of work can you find? Why do you want to transfer people from my side? If there is nothing fishy in this, I won't believe it.
But on the outside, he looked cheerful and said with a big smile, "It's a small thing! It's their blessing to be able to work with Fellow Daoist Xiao. Fellow Daoist Xiao can choose whatever he wants, and Yuan will accept everything."
Xiao Huaian smiled and said, "Okay. You're welcome then. I heard that there is a monk named Zhu Yi under the command of Protector Yuan Tong. This man is resourceful and thoughtful. Xiao wants to hand over this job to him."
Let him handle it, but where is Zhu Yiren?"
Yuan Tong frowned and looked up.
If it weren't for Xiao Huaian's serious tone and natural expression, he would almost suspect that this kid was deliberately laughing at him.
Could it be true?
But Zhu Yi... This kid is a little clever, but he doesn't deserve to be remembered by a direct descendant of the Xiao family, right? Moreover, even if he is really looking for him, it will be too late.
Yuan Tong shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please change someone else. Zhu Yi...can't help you."
Xiao Huaian's face darkened, "What happened? Protector Yuan Tong please make it clear that Zhu Yi is very important to Xiao, I must see him today!"
His first thought was that the news had been leaked and someone had gotten there first.
A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes...
But the next moment, the cold light froze, and then with a "click", it broke into countless pieces.
Yuan Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Zhu Yi was killed. Just half a day ago, the body was still lying in the backyard... Fellow Taoist Xiao, don't believe it? Someone, bring Zhu Yi's body over."
Soon, the cold body of Zhu Yi was placed in front of everyone. With a sharp sword, the whole body was not able to fall.
There was a trace of panic on his face, but more of it was confusion and anxiety, as if he had been killed before he could react.
boom--
Next to Xiao Huaian, a small table suddenly shattered, and the tea cup fell to the ground, making the ground wet and steaming.
He stared at Zhu Yi's body with fear and anger mixed in his heart.
Next to him, Xia Xue glanced at him. This was the first time she saw this noble young man with an extraordinary background, looking furious.
It's not that different from ordinary people.
Yuan Tong looked surprised, "Fellow Daoist Xiao...why is this happening? This Zhu Yi has served under Yuan for many years and has never..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Huaian shouted, and turned around, "Is this person really Zhu Yi?"
A Xiao family monk stepped forward to identify him and nodded with an extremely ugly expression.
Xiao Huaian closed his eyes.
For a moment, the air fell into dead silence.
Bastard! Bastard!
Xiao Huaian, who just now felt that he was blessed with good fortune and everything was going well, was almost mad to death at this moment.
Zhu Yi is a little person. He was adopted by the Martial Arts Temple as an orphan and was later trained as a low-level martial artist.
There are thousands of such people in the huge Martial Arts Temple.
Unsurprisingly, he will live a mediocre life in this capacity, or he will be able to sneak into the middle class before he dies through hard work, chance, etc.
But the unexpected happened suddenly.
Tianmu Wushen failed to forcefully break through the realm, severely damaging his body, vitality and blood, and his time was running out.
On the one hand, he cooperates with the Xiao family and borrows the Xiao family's treasure to extend his life.
So I agreed that when the Phoenix Clan's relics come out, I will protect Xiao Huaian's path and help him get what he wants.
On the other hand, or just in case, Tian Mu Martial God
Start looking for heirs to prevent the martial arts inheritance from being cut off if you fail.
But he had lived for tens of thousands of years, and because he didn't care about his children and only focused on his own martial arts practice, his children had long since died.
The only time was hundreds of years ago, during a cathartic affair, hundreds of women suffered the God of War's visit... Most of them died on the spot, and less than one-tenth survived, giving birth to blood vessels.
There is only one.
The Xiao family spent countless material and manpower searching through the vast sea of people, and finally found the clue.
Zhu Yi is the lucky one.
But now, his body was lying in a different place on the ground, completely cold.
Pretend you don't know? Let's just expose the matter? This thought only made Xiao Huai'an turn his head once, and then was suppressed.
"No! With the status of the Heavenly Mu Martial God, today's events will inevitably reach his ears."
"It's okay not to participate in the investigation. Now that he has found it and this happened again, what will he think if he doesn't do anything?"
A god of war, a god of war whose injuries are difficult to cure and whose life is not long, is still related to his own destiny and future existence... Xiao Huaian must not take risks, even a little bit!
call--
He exhaled and said in a cold voice, "Where is the murderer?"
No matter who killed Zhu Yi, he must die.
Not only him, but also the people around him, family members, friends, etc., will be most cruelly implicated.
So that they know that there are always some people in this world who they cannot afford to provoke and who they absolutely should not provoke.
Otherwise, it is death!
Yuan Tong looked hesitant.
Swish——
Xiao Huaian's eyes were cold.
Yuan Tong lowered his head, "The murderer who killed Zhu Yi is Yu Feng, a swordsman from Taishang's lineage, who is currently at Linhu Manor in Jingliyuan."
The air fell into dead silence again.
In the depression, there is more embarrassment and embarrassment.
Taishang's lineage...Linhu Manor...He just came back from there...Yu Feng...well, we met him once and praised him for his unparalleled sword skills, and even said that he would get closer to Yun Yun in the future.
Xiao Huaian lost the urge for revenge in an instant. Even if God Tianmu knew about it, he would never blame him for staying out of the matter.
Damn it!
This Yuan Tong deserves to be stuck in the position of protector for so many years.
No brains, low emotional intelligence.
Didn't you tell me this earlier? Did you deliberately embarrass me?!
Xiao Huaian was silent for a moment and said, "The Taishang's lineage has always been on good terms with our Martial Arts Temple. There must be a misunderstanding here."
To set the tone first, or perhaps to change the subject, he continued, "Dragon Protector Yuan Tong, what on earth is going on?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Yuan Tong's eyes.
Asahi Sensong, right?
Humph! It’s true that the Taishang lineage cannot be offended, but you... Humph, if you offend me, the consequences will be serious!
