People forge swords in Lizhu, childhood sweetheart Ruan Xiu falls in love with Ning Yao

Chapter 117 He Xiaoliang: Chu Ci, let’s become Taoist companions!

“Brother Chu Ci, I’m going up the mountain first!”

Early in the morning, Ruan Xiu had to rush to Shenxiu Mountain again. Just as she came out of Niping Lane, she passed by a young Taoist nun who was following a white deer.

He Xiaoliang stopped for a moment, looking at Ruan Xiu's back thoughtfully. After a moment, he started again and walked into Niping Lane. The path he took was exactly the same as Ruan Xiu's, and he soon arrived in front of the blacksmith shop.

At this time, Chu Ci was about to close the door and go to Jianlu to check on his master and his junior brother Liu Xianyang. He also heard from Ruan Xiu that his master had selected three more people and planned to accept them as disciples on the day of the founding ceremony.

In this way, the Sword Sect finally gained more popularity, including Master Ruan Qiong, Senior Brother Chu Ci, Senior Sister Ruan Xiu, and four Junior Brothers Liu Xianyang, a total of seven people.

"Mr. Chu, do you have something to go out for?"

He Xiaoliang's voice came, with some anxiety on her face. She wanted to meet Chu Ci alone, but it was not easy.

Because of her secret meeting with Chu Ci last time, her master had stepped up his surveillance of her. Basically, whenever she went out, Jintong Gao Jianfu would follow her closely.

It was with great difficulty that he managed to temporarily get rid of Gao Jianfu when there was a person hanging on the archway and many people were watching the fun.

"Since you have a distinguished guest, there is no need to rush out!"

Chu Ci stroked the white deer that came over happily. He was just trying to figure out whether He Xiaoliang was involved in Lu Chen's plan.
"Miss He, please."

"Then excuse me!"

He Xiaoliang quickly entered the blacksmith shop, fearing that Gao Jianfu would appear in the next second.

"Are there any pursuers behind Miss He?"

Seeing this, Chu Ci closed the door.

"It's hard to describe in words!"

He Xiaoliang sighed helplessly, then thought of Cao Jun hanging on the archway and asked:

"Is the person on the archway the one hung by Master Chu?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Chu Ci served He Xiaoliang a cup of tea, showing his hospitality.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Cao Jun from the Cao family. Young master, you should be more careful in the future."

He Xiaoliang had no time to drink tea.

"Cao Jun's ancestor Cao Xi is an eleventh-level swordsman. He has a strange personality and is unlikely to fight to the death with you for Cao Jun. However, for the sake of his reputation as the ancestor of the Cao family, he will definitely take some revenge on you."

"Thank you Miss He for the reminder!"

Chu Ci knew the original plot, so he naturally knew who Cao Xi was.

In the original plot, although it was Chen Pingan who led the old ape to collapse the ancestral house of the Cao family, and was at fault first, Chen Pingan later hired someone to repair the house. Moreover, if we take into account the fact that Cao Jun was greedy and wanted to snatch Chen Pingan's sword embryo, the two sides should be even.

As a result, the old guy Cao Xi deliberately took revenge on Chen Pingan, wanting to make Chen Pingan suffer bad luck for the next year.

How could Chu Ci not be on guard against such a person?

Chu Ci then tried to test:
"Miss He, I've read the booklet you gave me earlier. It must have been hard work for you to collect so much information. Chu Ci is very grateful to you."

"I don't dare to take credit for this. I was just delivering it on behalf of someone else."

He Xiaoliang heard this and quickly shook his head:

"The booklet was given to me by a junior master from the Divine Proclamation Sect, Lu."

"Oh, then I'll have to thank him when I see him next time."

With just this one sentence, Chu Ci understood that He Xiaoliang was the unlucky guy who was used by Lu Chen.

Because if Chu Ci knew that the booklet was given by Lu Chen, Chu Ci would be suspicious no matter what, after all, he had been tricked by Lu Chen once.

Of course Lu Chen also knew this, so if He Xiaoliang was involved in Lu Chen's plan, he would never say in front of him that the booklet was given by Lu Chen.

It was such a coincidence that Gao Jianfu was about to find He Xiaoliang at that time. Preventing Chu Ci and He Xiaoliang from continuing to talk might have been Lu Chen's plan.

The information about the Sword Sect in the booklet was deliberately written in a very simple manner, in order to prevent Chu Ci from feeling something was wrong and thinking that the booklet should not have been written by He Xiaoliang. Otherwise, with Lu Chen's strength, it would not be a problem to figure out the 18 generations of the Sword Sect's ancestors.

Everything in the end was just to delay Chu Ci's finding out the owner of the booklet. Once the best time to find out was missed, the booklet would become ordinary and Chu Ci would not be able to find it even if he wanted to check it.

Damn, what a piece of shit!
When Chu Ci thought about it carefully, he realized how dirty Lu Chen's heart was.

Chu Ci was wondering whether he should also follow Aliang's example and write the words "Lu Chen" on the soles of his shoes, as if he was stepping on Lu Chen.

"Both you and Junior Master Lu are extraordinary people. I think if they meet, they will get along very well."

He Xiaoliang, who didn't know the truth, couldn't hear the profound meaning of the Chuci's "thank you".

"Let's not talk about this!"

After confirming that He Xiaoliang was not involved in the plot against him, Chu Ci's expression softened:
"Miss He, you must have something to tell me, right? Please go ahead. As long as Chu Ci can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"Xiaoliang can no longer stay in the Divine Proclamation Sect, so he wants to join the Young Master's Sword Sect."

He Xiaoliang stated the first purpose of his trip, and then told Chu Ci about his lecherous master's intentions.

"You are most welcome. I will help you deal with the Divine Proclamation Sect."

No wonder He Xiaoliang seemed to be avoiding someone before. As a Jade Maiden of the Shen Gao Sect, there was no force in the entire Aquarius State that could make her so embarrassed, except the Shen Gao Sect itself.

The Shen Gao Sect was short-sighted and forced away a genius who was the most blessed person in the state. How could Chu Ci not accept it with a smile?

He Xiaoliang didn't expect Chu Ci to agree so readily, and asked curiously:

"Sir, aren't you afraid of the Shen Gao Sect? And the Shen Gao Sect is only a lower sect. There are higher sects in the Central Plains. Is it worth it for a little Liang?"

"Miss He made a very correct choice. I am not afraid. As for whether it is worth it, it is up to Miss He to decide."

Chu Ci smiled without comment. He was already an enemy of Taoist Lao San, so why would he be afraid of another Taoist branch in Haoran Tianxia?

"If Miss He achieves the thirteenth level of Ascension in the future, or even becomes stronger, it will be worth it."

"What if there isn't one? It's not worth it."

He Xiaoliang added.

"Not necessarily. I heard that Miss He is blessed with great fortune. If she can bring blessings to the Sword Sect, it will be a win."

Chu Ci had no qualms about talking about relationships of interest. After all, in this world, most relationships were based on interests, especially when the two parties were not very familiar with each other.

"Besides, investing is a risky thing in itself."

"It is indeed as you said, young master!"

He Xiaoliang smiled sweetly, picked up his teacup, and toasted Chuci with tea instead of wine:

"Junior sister He Xiaoliang thanks senior brother for his protection."

"Welcome Junior Sister He to join the Sword Sect!"

Chu Ci raised his glass to celebrate.

"Actually, Junior Sister, I have another thing to do on this trip!"

He Xiaoliang put down the teacup and said solemnly:

"Chu Ci, let's become Taoist companions!"

Well, this decision of hers was also an investment made after careful consideration!

"Pfft!"

The tea that Chu Ci had just taken half a sip of sprayed out.
