Embers of Sword

Chapter 132 Heavy Sword and the Boy

"Xie Zhen... probably this kind of person."

Jiang Qihu recounted in detail what he had seen and heard in Qingzhou, and how he met and got to know Xie Zhen.

This time leaving the imperial city.

The master only told him to take good care of Xie Zhen and never let Xie Zhen be bullied... As for other things about his life, he didn't make any further instructions.

I think what happened in Qingzhou is worth talking about.

At least.

You can tell your sister.

Jiang Miaoyin sat under the Yuping Peak waterfall. She didn't say a word the whole time and listened quietly to Benhu telling the story of Lichao City.

In fact, she read the Qingzhou case file more than once.

However, it is just a case file after all, and many details will not be recorded.

"So, you and Xie Zhen, at most, have only known each other for a month?"

After listening.

Jiang Miaoyin pondered for a moment and asked the first question.

"……good."

Jiang Qihu was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "In fact, we met in Dasui Sword Palace, and this was only the second time we met."

“Sister, Brother Xie Zhen is different from others.”

Stupid Tiger scratched his head.

He thought for a moment and grinned, "In the beginning, Xie Zhen and I had some misunderstandings, but later, after the misunderstandings were resolved... I became more and more familiar with him, and we hit it off at first sight."

"Idiot... how can you use it like that when you first meet someone?"

Jiang Miaoyin sighed softly and shook her head.

She then asked, "So, has Mr. Jingxuan ever told you about Xie Zhen's secret agent in the bookstore?"

"Never mentioned it."

Jiang Qihu said honestly: "There are many hidden players in the library, and they only obey the master's orders. Qihu never asks too many questions."

"I didn't ask you to pry into the library's privacy."

Jiang Miaoyin said calmly: "For no reason, there is such a person out of nowhere, aren't you curious?"

"curious?"

Jiang Qihu was stunned for a moment, nodded first, then shook his head: "Of course I'm curious!"

"It's just that there are too many 'strange things' happening in the library, and Qi Hu is just too curious to keep up."

Jiang Qihu said seriously, "Sister, you don't know that my master is in charge of destiny, knows everything, and is a god among gods. Before my father left, he told me that Qihu doesn't need to think too much about what his master says, just listen and believe it."

"..."

Jiang Miaoyin looked at the younger brother in front of her in silence.

Ten years passed.

Jiang Qihu can no longer be considered a “younger brother”, but his stubborn and clumsy appearance is still the same as before.

Perhaps in front of other people, he is the second in command of the Imperial City Department that oversees the government and the country, and the young master of the Jiang family who will rule Qingzhou in the future. He is very powerful and cannot be disobeyed.

But in front of myself.

Jiang Qihu always looks like this.

"That's fine too."

Jiang Miaoyin said softly: "Mr. Jingxuan will never harm you."

"That's natural!"

Jiang Qihu chuckled and suddenly asked curiously, "Why is sister interested in Xie Zhen?"

Haven’t seen each other for ten years.

When the two met, Jiang Miaoyin simply asked about the old man's health.

How has the Jiang family developed over the years?

What has Qingzhou become?

She asked no questions.

On the contrary, this "Xie Zhen" was acting out of character and listened to Jiang Qihu's chattering silently. She talked for nearly half an incense stick of time and didn't get bored at all.

"Nothing, just asking."

Jiang Miaoyin said softly, "I always feel that I have a connection with this young man. How is the situation at the foot of Lotus Peak?"

After this reminder.

Jiang Qihu slapped his thigh suddenly, wondering how could he have forgotten the important matter.

He quickly took out the Baihua Valley communication order and contacted Ye Qinglian.

……

The Lotus Peak Mansion finally returned to peace.

Huang Su personally gave the order and asked Si Qi to make the trip.

The wandering cultivator who had "fallen asleep" on the lawn was carried away by the disciples of Zhenyin Peak.

This farce tonight has finally come to an end... Jing Qingming was beaten unconscious. Not to mention joining Jin'ao Peak, he probably won't be able to participate in the upcoming Sword Qi Ceremony.

"Thank you, nephew. You are really ruthless."

Si Qi put his hands in his sleeves and stood beside Xie Xuanyi.

He looked at the young man who had just met him for the first time and gave Prince Jiangning a show of power.

He has an ordinary appearance.

The strength should not be underestimated.

"Where."

Xie Xuanyi sat back on the wooden chair, enjoying the chirping of insects and the sound of wind echoing in the valley, and let out a long, contented sigh.

Although he apologized, there was no apology in his voice: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Si Qi, and all the colleagues at Zhenyin Peak."

"..."

Si Qi's face was a little stiff.

hard.

It is indeed very hard.

Everyone was satisfied with this farce tonight.

But the aftermath was cleaned up by Zhenyin Peak.

Xie Zhen showed mercy when he attacked. Except for those sword cultivators from the Silver Moon Sect who were forming formations, the other visitors were not injured. Most of them were just beaten unconscious.

But looking around, these unfortunate guys have almost filled up half of the Lotus Peak lawn.

Seventy or eighty grown men fainted.

"Speaking of which, where did Brother Xie Zhen learn the sword technique from?"

Si Qi suddenly spoke.

The Qianjun Waterfall Sword Formation of the Silver Moon Sect is quite powerful.

The final confrontation was so grand that there must have been many important figures watching it with their divine thoughts.

Xie Zhen's attainments in swordsmanship are truly astonishing.

With just a wooden branch, the Qianjun Waterfall Sword Formation was shattered!
Clean and neat!

This is a complete crushing victory in the "sword realm"!
Xie Xuanyi raised his head, closed his eyes and whispered, "Uncle Si Qi is curious about why I can break the Silver Moon Sect's 'Thousand Jun Waterfall' with one sword?" Si Qi did not hide anything.

"The Dasui Sword Palace has been closed for ten years. Junior Brother Xie has devoted his life to the library for ten years. Even though the young national master is a 'peerless master', he still doesn't know much about swordsmanship." He laughed softly and said, "I'm afraid that many people will not be able to sleep tonight if you strike with this sword."

"Uncle Siqi, what do you think of my swordsmanship?"

Xie Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Si Qi.

"With only one sword, I can't tell its depth."

Si Qi smiled and said, "Although I am not very good at martial arts, if I want to learn from you, I can accompany you."

"Uncle Master was joking."

Xie Xuanyi closed his eyes again and sat comfortably. "You are the Yinshen Master, and I am just a caveman... This swordsmanship is not worth mentioning. If those big shots really have a 'sharp eye', they should be able to find that the reason why I can break the formation is not because of my superb swordsmanship skills."

"Oh?"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Si Qi's eyes.

If it’s not because of his superb kendo skills… then there is only one possibility left.

"I know a little bit about formation patterns."

Xie Xuanyi said lazily: "In fact, this matter was mentioned in the Qingzhou case file... Xie was born in a bookstore, and it should be normal for him to know some array patterns, right?"

"I see."

Si Qi smiled and nodded, then asked again, "Thank you, nephew. You are indeed the person that Huang Su and Qi Lie both accepted as an exception... Could you please tell your uncle about the Lotus Jade Order?"

"Master, do you really want to know?"

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyes and asked with a smile.

The Lotus Jade Order was related to the identity of "Xie Xuanyi's disciple".

obviously.

Si Qi was still in the dark at this moment.

Si Qi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then said seriously, "It's just a casual question, it's not like I really want to know."

"Yes, who is Uncle Si Qi?"

Xie Xuanyi said leisurely: "I have heard that Zhenyin Peak is in charge of the intelligence inside and outside the Dasui Sword Palace. I am sure that even if my nephew doesn't tell me about this little thing, it will be hard for my uncle to hide it from his ears."

Si Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Of course..."

"In that case, I'll trouble you to use your own skills and magical powers."

Xie Xuanyi changed the subject and said sincerely, "My nephew just had a fight and I am really tired. Uncle, please go back?"

"???"

The smile on Si Qi's face suddenly froze.

He glanced resentfully at the young man sitting on the chair. He didn't notice for a moment that he was placed in a high position and now he didn't even have the room to speak.

good boy.

I like to play the game of flattery.

……

All the disciples of Zhenyin Peak left.

The area in front of the courtyard became completely quiet.

Xie Xuanyi sat on the wooden chair, and he still did not return to the mansion.

At this moment, he stretched out one hand, supported his chin, closed his eyes, and fell into a doze.

The world is extremely quiet, and so is the lake of the heart.

Feel every wisp of wind flowing across your cheeks and every divine thought hanging high above Lotus Peak.

Xie Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes, and his voice echoed in the mountains.

"Tonight's excitement has ended, and it's time for all of you who came to watch the show to leave."

The sound spread.

The divine thoughts that lingered near the mansion withdrew one after another.

Xie Xuanyi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked into the deep woods on the side of the courtyard.

"My dear, can't you hear me?"

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "The excitement is over."

There was a lot of excitement at Lotus Peak tonight, with many important figures arriving with their spiritual powers, not afraid to just be spectators and enjoy the show before the Sword Qi Ceremony.

Some people also came to Lotus Peak in person.

Because he did not show up and did not release any hostility.

Xie Xuanyi couldn't find all of them...

At this moment, all the divine thoughts surrounding Xie Xuanyi's residence dissipated.

The divine thought deep in the forest not only did not dissipate, but instead came closer.

"What I'm waiting for is the end of the excitement."

A voice that sounded a little childish but with an extremely firm tone slowly rang out from the other side of the forest.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly, looking at the young man who emerged from the woods. He was in tattered clothes, had a dirty face, but his eyes were extremely clear.

The young man was not tall, but he carried a heavy sword that was taller than him.

The sword is taller than the man.

This appearance is really funny and ridiculous.

But Xie Xuanyi didn't laugh.

Because the little guy in front of me should have a bone age of only sixteen years old, one year younger than myself "now".

But his spirit is restrained and his vital energy is concentrated.

There is already a cave in the sky!

This is a very young swordsman in the Cave Heaven Realm!
Xie Sheng, the prince of Jiangning, was promoted to the Cave Heaven at the age of seventeen. This achievement shocked the entire Da Chu Dynasty...

But the little guy in front of me has achieved the cave heaven realm at the age of sixteen!

Xie Xuanyi looked at him carefully and found that the aura of this young man had been integrated with the heavy sword behind him... From this point of view alone, it was extremely rare. He seemed to be a pure sword cultivator. If he really achieved "the unity of man and sword", then the sword realm of this young man would be more than one level stronger than the previous Jing Qingming!
"interesting."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the little guy in front of him and said with a smile: "It seems that your name is not on the Fangyuanfang case file."

Fangyuanfang counted the thirteen caves.

But there is no such person among them.

"You can never trust all the news from Fangyuanfang."

The young man carrying the heavy sword shook his head. He looked up at Xie Xuanyi and said seriously, "After all, your name is not on the case file."

As soon as this sentence came out.

Xie Xuanyi found it even more interesting.

He smiled and sat back on the wooden chair, and asked softly, "So, what is the reason you came to see me?"

The little guy took a deep breath.

He stretched out his hand and grasped the heavy sword behind him.

"Ask the sword!"

"Of course I'm asking about the sword!"
