Me and countless me.

Chapter 527 A'Zhu's Heart and the Attack

Clearly, Azi cherishes her life very much, and Li Ke could tell from her expression that she wouldn't feel at ease until she had the mask and the Divine Wood Cauldron in her hands.

So Li Ke tossed the mask and the Divine Wood Cauldron to A Zi and began to spoil the plot.

"Is there a character '段' (duan) on your shoulder? And on the golden lock beside you, there are the words 'Lakeside Bamboo,' 'lush and green,' 'May you be safe and sound,' and 'May you be joyful and happy.'"

Azi was initially happy and surprised to have caught the Divine Wood King Cauldron and the Iron Mask, but after hearing this, she stared at Li Ke in astonishment, wondering how he knew such information!

This was her most closely guarded secret, and since Ding Chunqiu had died so quickly, there was absolutely no way she could have told Li Ke.

But before she could say anything, Li Ke, not wanting to go through a boring storyline, spoke up again.

"Alright, you have an older sister named Azhu, she's right here, you can stay here... Don't worry about me eating you, I wouldn't stoop to becoming that kind of inhuman, ghostly thing, besides, didn't I kill Ding Chunqiu, who invented this thing?"

Azi nodded hurriedly and agreed, but inwardly she couldn't help but grumble.

"But your martial arts skills can't stay young forever, it's just that I can't beat you..."

Despite thinking this way, Azi still subconsciously wanted to believe Li Ke, after all, Li Ke had pulled her out of the fire pit. Although she didn't know if Li Ke himself was a fire pit, she was safe for the time being.

However, she still cautiously asked Li Ke how he knew these things.

"But how did you know, young master? I've never told anyone else about this."

Li Ke couldn't very well say that he knew it from watching TV dramas, so after a moment's hesitation, he adopted a smug attitude.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network!"

Such an arrogant attitude made Azi obediently nod, while Li Ke looked at the disciples of the Xingxiu Sect, waved his hand, and told Madam Wang to cripple their martial arts and send them to the government.

He then brought Azi to Azhu's side and explained their situation. The two sisters each took out a gold lock, took off their clothes to look at the characters on the lock, and finally confirmed their sisterhood, embracing each other and weeping.

Li Ke, standing beside them, was also filled with emotion. He didn't pay much attention to A Zhu and A Zi's gratitude and quickly left.

Therefore, when A'Zhu looked at Li Ke, the expression in her eyes was inscrutable.

Azi is quite curious about Li Ke and is eager to know more about him, so she grabbed her sister's hand and subconsciously tried to get information out of her.

"Sister, how did you meet the young master? What kind of person is he?"

Azhu shook her head, her face flushed with a complex mix of emotions as she thought about Li Ke's behavior over the past few days.

“Azi, from now on, don’t call him ‘Young Master.’ He is the current Duke of the State, holding a high position and great power. He is also highly skilled in martial arts and a scholar of unparalleled learning. Not only is he kind-hearted, but he is also approachable…”

At this point, A'Zhu couldn't help but think of the Starry Constellation Sect's vile practices and Li Ke's intelligence capabilities.

Although she didn't ask, she knew that Li Ke knew the character "Duan" on her and her sister's shoulders and the characters on their gold locks, which showed how terrifying his intelligence capabilities were.

It's possible that a top-tier imperial guard is gathering information for him.

Although her younger sister in the Xingxiu Sect had not indiscriminately killed innocent people, she must have done things that violated the laws of the imperial court, so she couldn't help but worry about her sister.

Her sisters had no relation to him, and were even servants bought halfway through the journey, so how could she expect him to take in Azi as well?

after all……

Azhu touched the indenture under her pillow. After Li Ke got this, he gave it to Azhu and Abi, so now they can be considered free.

However, Azhu and Abi were used to the life of servants, and even now that they had gained their freedom, they were completely lost and had no idea how to live their lives.

Azhu was somewhat better off, but she was still very uneasy, fearing that Li Ke would also abandon her, especially since Li Ke had brought Azi to her side.

So, touching her chest, Azhu bit her lip, then gently hugged Azi and whispered.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Ah Zi, where have you been all these years?"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. As soon as this topic came up, Azi couldn't help but shed tears, pouring out all the grievances she had suffered in the Xingxiu Sect to Azhu.

Azhu was increasingly alarmed as she listened. She never imagined that her younger sister's experience was a thousand times more dangerous than her own. So when she heard that Ding Chunqiu was cultivating her as a tonic, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Good sister, I will never let you suffer again in this life."

A'Zhu spoke these words solemnly. She had already thought of a way to get her husband, the Duke, to pay even a little attention to her and her sister. So that very night...

"elder sister?"

Azi woke up in the middle of the night but couldn't find her sister's body beside her, so she stood up with some doubt, putting on her clothes, wanting to ask Li Ke where her sister Azhu had gone.

However, when she arrived at Li Ke's room, she heard her sister A Zhu's panting.

Azi naturally knew what was happening, but most women would have retreated at this time. However, Azi quietly approached the window, licked her fingers, and silently poked a hole in the window paper with her wet fingers, then looked into the room.

Inside the room, the red stars of love were in motion, and waves of passion surged. A'Zhu's face was flushed, and her cheeks were full of satisfaction and greed. Li Ke stood tall and straight, and even at this moment, he still had the air of a romantic and talented man. A'Zi couldn't help but clench her fist in praise!

"Awesome!"

Although it was her older sister there, judging from the happy expression on her face, Azi knew that her sister was having an incredibly fun time!

This made Azi's body uncontrollably hot, and her temples throbbed with excitement. Azi couldn't help but rub her temples with her fingers, trying to relieve this heat!

However, just watching, Azi felt that she also wanted to join in, and couldn't help but want her sister Azhu to take the initiative and not be so secretive and not straightforward.

So when she saw her sister sigh and collapse, she rushed in, grabbed Li Ke who was trying to kiss A Zhu, and kissed her. "A Zi?!"

Azhu exclaimed in astonishment, looking at Azi in disbelief. She never expected Azi to do such a thing!
But Azi didn't care about Azhu's shock at all. Instead, she pointed to herself with her thumb and spoke proudly.

"You're not kissing my sister Azhu right now, you're kissing me, Azi! How does that feel?"

Li Ke: "…………"

He felt something was off, and A'Zhu had already screamed in agony because A'Zi had done something very outrageous.

"Azi, why are you taking off your clothes?!"

Azhu was a little overwhelmed, but Azi spoke up confidently.

"Of course, it's about marrying a rich guy and clinging to his coattails! Your brother-in-law is so outstanding, sister, just give in to me!"

So, A'Zhu finally realized that her younger sister, A'Zi, had long since become a little witch in the Xingxiu Sect!
Li Ke: "…………"

Li Ke remained silent, quietly working hard.

However, karma was in its way. A'Zhu was so angry that she ignored Li Ke for several days. No matter how much Li Ke apologized, it was no use. Every time she saw Li Ke, she would puff up her cheeks like a pufferfish, and Li Ke would have to coax her for a long time.

Although A'Zhu was just as dissatisfied with A'Zi, she could tell from A'Zi's actions that she didn't care about so-called etiquette and morality at all. All her actions were for the sake of survival and to live better. So in the end, A'Zhu had no choice but to accept it.

After all, there's nothing that can be done about it if she doesn't admit it, since Azi was filled up with the same liquid as her and might even be pregnant.

not to mention……

Thinking of the scene of the sisters together that day, Azhu's hands couldn't help but clasp together, her body felt slightly warm, and she subconsciously looked in Li Ke's direction.

At this moment, Li Ke and the others are riding in a carriage, heading towards Xingzilin, all for the purpose of rescuing Qiao Feng.

Looking at the large number of martial arts figures on the road, Li Ke knew that they had all heard about the Beggars' Sect's actions and had come to join in the fun and get firsthand information.

After all, for those who roam the world, being well-informed is the most important thing. If you don't have sharp ears and eyes and good judgment, then many times you really won't even know how you died.

Looking at these people, Li Ke was thinking about how to win over Qiao Feng.

With his status as a duke, protecting Qiao Feng was certainly not a problem. However, even if Qiao Feng was protected, the betrayal of him by the Beggars' Sect and the prejudice of the surrounding martial arts world against the Khitans were enough to make Qiao Feng lose heart and become disillusioned with continuing to be a Song citizen.

Furthermore, he himself had a unique sense of identity with his origins, so simply rescuing Qiao Feng in the Apricot Grove would absolutely not have been enough to save Qiao Feng.

Only when Qiao Feng sees that the Khitans and Han Chinese can live in peace under his protection will Qiao Feng be willing to serve him.

Therefore, Li Ke planned to clarify everything in the apricot grove.

Whether it's Murong Bo's affair or Qiao Feng's background.

After all, Qiao Feng's tragic background was entirely created by Murong Bo, and it can be said to be quite absurd.

In order to restore his kingdom, Murong Bo deceived Xuanci of Shaolin Temple, making him believe that Qiao Feng's father, Xiao Yuanshan, had led his troops south for the sake of Shaolin Temple's martial arts. He wanted Xuanci to kill Xiao Yuanshan's family, who were pro-peace, in order to anger the Liao Kingdom and then attack the Song Dynasty, so that they could fish in troubled waters.

Given Murong Bo's status and position, Xuan Ci easily believed him and led a large group of people to besiege Xiao Yuanshan's group who were visiting their family.

Then Qiao Feng's mother was killed, and Xuan Ci and a large group of people were also killed by Xiao Yuanshan. Xiao Yuanshan was devastated when he saw the bodies of the mother and son and jumped off a cliff to commit suicide. He found that Qiao Feng was still alive halfway down the cliff, so he threw Qiao Feng up and had him taken back to Shaolin Temple by Xuan Ci to be raised.

Therefore, Xuan Ci was very suspicious of Murong Bo's motives, which led Murong Bo to fake his death to escape and avoid being suspected by Xuan Ci.

It can only be said that Murong Bo certainly deserved to die, but Xuan Ci and a whole bunch of people who attacked the woman holding the baby were all beasts. Xuan Ci was especially stupid, thinking that Xiao Yuanshan had brought troops to steal martial arts manuals.

"Once this news is announced, and we help Qiao Feng take revenge, we should be able to subdue him. I just don't know how skilled Murong Bo is in martial arts in this world."

Li Ke was very much looking forward to this, after all, Kumārajīva was able to unleash a true qi attack that was more than ten feet long, not to mention the even more skilled Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan, and the true ceiling of Tianlong, the Sweeper Monk's skill.

"I hope I won't be disappointed."

But just as Li Ke was pondering this matter, they arrived at a sparsely populated grove of trees.

However, after taking only a few steps, Li Ke suddenly raised his head because he felt a strong sense of crisis!
Almost immediately, Li Ke's body emitted multicolored true energy, protecting everyone in the carriage. He then rushed out of the carriage, brandishing his sword without hesitation!

As the sword was swung, wisps of blue-white energy instantly spread across it. The moment it collided with the source of the sense of crisis, the entire sword began to emit a strong blue-white light, like a lightsaber from Star Wars!
What clashed with Li Ke's sword was also a sharp sword, but this sword was shimmering with the phantom of the Big Dipper, and after colliding with Li Ke's sword, it unleashed an almost endless sword aura!
"Well done!"

Li Ke immediately sheathed his sword, ran his fingers along the blade, and the sword immediately emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire forest. The attackers couldn't help but ask a question.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"

Li Ke, however, spoke calmly.

"Cosmic Sword Technique, a secret skill!"

The instant he finished speaking, countless illusory swords flashed around Li Ke's body, and with a straight thrust, he transformed into a rainbow of light, directly charging towards the black-clad man who had suddenly attacked!

The man in black couldn't help but give a shout of praise, knowing that hiding his martial arts skills was no longer of any use at this point!

"Excellent swordsmanship! But unfortunately, you will die here today!"

The moment he finished speaking, the phantom of the Big Dipper suddenly appeared on his body, and then a phantom appeared behind him, and unceremoniously pushed out its huge palms!
In an instant, Li Ke heard a sound like a dragon roaring and a tiger howling. A violent palm force and the black-clad man's sharp sword rushed towards Li Ke, making Li Ke almost think that he was being attacked by two top masters!
But what surprised Li Ke the most was not the "Star Shift" skill displayed by the opponent, but the fact that the giant unleashed the authentic Dragon Subduing Palm!
