Embers of Sword

Chapter 61 Apology
With a loud "bang", smoke and dust flew everywhere.

The skinny ghost was knocked flying several feet away, hit the iron wall heavily, and slowly fell to the ground. The Po Lu ship was covered with array patterns and the hull was extremely solid. When it was hit, only a series of green and mysterious patterns appeared on the iron wall, and it soon returned to normal without even a trace of cracks.

As for the big ship, it went without saying that it was not affected at all, not even slightly shaken.

However, this noise attracted everyone's attention.

All the retainers of the Chu family stood up.

The disciples of Baihua Valley also cast their gazes over.

Most of the eyes were filled with gloating...

Is this a fight?

Those distinguished guests from the Cave Heaven Realm started fighting?

The noise below also reached the ears of several important figures on the top floor.

Jiang Qihu put his hands on the table and prepared to stand up, but You Haiwang held his shoulders affectionately.

"Brother Qi Hu... it's just a minor fight among our men. Please don't disturb our fun."

Chu Lin smiled and said, "By the way, who is this young man? He is quite skilled. Is he from the Jiang family or the Imperial City Division?"

Ye Qinglian also looked at Jiang Qihu.

Jiang Qihu is a well-known "lone wolf", and this time he brought someone with him. She couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the young man.

"Your Majesty, this person's identity... Qi Hu is not convenient to tell."

Jiang Qihu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Xuanyi was safe and sound.

Well, this kid is more capable than I thought... I guess I don't have to worry about being at a disadvantage.

"It's not convenient to say?"

King You Hai raised his eyebrows and said, "The Imperial City's Si Tan Yi Wei? The Jiang family's assassins?"

Only these two identities are inconvenient to talk about——

Although the Tanyi Guard belongs to the Imperial City Division, they are separated and managed independently, specializing in doing some "shady" things. The files of these people are all sealed and their identities are top secret.

The Jiang family's death warriors, those who were selected as "death warriors", lost their identities on the day they were selected, and there was nothing much to say.

Jiang Qihu smiled and shook his head, not making any comment, and passed over the topic.

Sometimes, no explanation is the best explanation.

"Well, it seems to be the Tanyi Guards, or the assassins..."

Ye Qinglian silently picked up the wine cup and made a conclusion about Xie Xuanyi's identity in his heart.

There was no movement from those people on the top floor.

This means that the action just now was within the permitted range.

"Ha ha……"

The skinny ghost, who was almost embedded in the ship's wall after being punched, supported himself with his hands and stood up with great difficulty. His jaw had been twisted, and his mouth was crooked and his eyes were unfocused, which looked a little ridiculous. But the strange thing was... after being beaten like this, he didn't show any anger at all, and his face returned to its previous smiling expression.

"Your punch is a bit heavy, kid."

The thin ghost raised his head and glanced at the top floor. Even though the prince didn't say anything, he knew what to do.

He stretched out a hand, held his chin, and twisted it hard.

Click!
Repositioning of dislocated jaw.

This scene made several disciples of Baihua Valley frown. Although they had no intention of eating in the first place, they had even less appetite at this moment.

As for the three retainers of the Chu family, they remained calm from beginning to end.

"Deserved it."

Seeing the skinny ghost being humiliated, the child who had been squatting on the chair eating made a sarcastic remark with a forced smile.

The old woman and the fat monk nicknamed "Meat Buddha" stared at Xie Xuanyi with burning eyes.

"Thank you, brother, for your hidden talents. It turns out you are a body cultivator."

The Meat Buddha's voice is deep, like the sound of a Huang Zhong Da Lu. His face looks very kind, with his belly exposed, like a Buddha, but he is holding a huge chicken leg in his hand, and his face is greasy, not at all like a monk who abstains from meat.

One look at his body shape revealed that he was also a body cultivator.

In fact, these guests of the Chu family were all very interested in the identity of "Xie Zhen".

The thin ghost took the opportunity to get closer, reached out to take off his hat, and tested them.

Now the result of the test is out.

Xie Zhen is quite capable, as he is able to be kept by Jiang Qihu.

They knew the strength of the skinny ghost. The punch just now was very fast... The skinny ghost was not unwilling to dodge, but he didn't dodge!

"Nonsense! It's really nonsense!"

At this moment, Chu Man, who had been sitting in the main seat, finally spoke.

She glanced at the thin ghost expressionlessly and scolded him coldly: "Brother Xie is the prince's distinguished guest, how can you be so rude, apologize immediately!"

"I……"

The thin ghost looked a little aggrieved, but he still followed Chu Man's instructions obediently, bent down and bowed as a way of apologizing.

Xie Xuanyi didn't say anything, just dusted off his shoulders and sat down again.

Act, keep acting.

Xie Xuanyi knew exactly why everything that had just happened happened. As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, look at its owner. The reason why the skinny ghost dared to attack him was simply because Chu Man tacitly agreed.

The Chu family is interested in his identity.

Or rather... You Haiwang is interested in his own identity.

He didn't mind this kind of exploration.

Now that all the major orifices have been ignited, his physical strength has been further improved and he is no longer afraid of "minor fights".

If you want to be serious...

I’m afraid that no matter how strong this ship is, it cannot withstand the full force of the Cave Heaven Realm!

You Haiwang would not allow such a thing to happen, as it would not only lose face but also ruin the place.

In fact, Xie Xuanyi was also very curious about what abilities these retainers under the Chu family had.

These four people are of different heights, weights and appearances, and seem to be good at different things.

This fat monk has thick skin and flesh, and looks like a body cultivator.

The skinny ghost who was punched by himself but acted as if nothing happened should be practicing the "body refining technique" just like the Meat Buddha!
As for the old woman and the young child, their physical bodies were obviously weaker, so it seemed they were taking a different path.

These four people are obviously the "leaders" that the Chu family is going to send to explore the Bai Ze secret realm.

Even if there is no collision today.

Next, we went to Bai Ze Cave, and it was inevitable to meet him!
"Thank you, brother. I'm really sorry."

Chu Man spoke again, her attitude was very sincere, as if she was apologizing sincerely: "Don't take what happened just now to heart, I apologize to you on behalf of the skinny ghost."

After saying this, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

She paused and said, "The reason I invited you all to drink today is actually to ensure that the upcoming 'trip to the secret realm' goes smoothly."

"The Bai Ze Cave has great opportunities, but also great dangers."

Chu Man said softly, "My prince has already agreed with Fairy Ye of Baihua Valley that they will not enter the river immediately after the secret realm is opened. If nothing unexpected happens, you and I will still travel together and take care of each other."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly.

You Haiwang and Ye Qinglian didn’t enter the river?

Is this the consensus reached by the big shots, letting their subordinates explore the cave first, and then making the final appearance at the end?

in this case.

Jiang Qihu must also be on the stage.

Travel together and take care of each other... These words may sound glamorous on the surface, but when you really step into the secret realm of Bai Ze, the situation is completely different!
Who will accompany me? Who will really take care of me?
There are only so many treasures and artifacts in the Bai Ze Secret Realm. If you take one away, one less!
Xie Xuanyi sneered in his heart.

Ten years later, the spiritual world is still like this, with many people enjoying big talk and high-sounding speeches.

Say one thing in public and do another behind the scenes.

In the past, he didn't like such occasions and preferred to be alone.

At this moment, there was a sudden tremor in my arms.

Xie Xuanyi looked down and saw that the magic ring that Venerable Longmu had given to Jialiu happened to react at this moment...

The Demon Country took the initiative to contact Jialiu, obviously wanting to inquire about the results of the investigation into the Bai Ze Secret Realm.

He sighed lightly, pressed down his hat, prepared to stand up and take the opportunity to leave.

"Thank you, brother——"

It was Chu Man's voice again, calling out to Xie Xuanyi.

Chu Man picked up the wine cup again and said politely: "I am really sorry for what happened just now... If you don't mind, Chu Man will play a song for you to express my apology and to help you get drunk."

　(My fellow Taoists, I am really sorry. I went on a business trip two days ago and my stockpiled manuscripts have been used up. I have been accumulating stockpiled manuscripts recently. The time for the release of the manuscripts should be around next Monday. When the manuscripts are released, there will be a big climax and a big explosion!)
