Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 20 There are always exceptions
Xu Jinhuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

what relationship?
'A friendship that we met by chance and tricked her into giving me a sword'?

How could he not see that the other party might have come to the rescue just because he sensed the aura of Gu Niaoniao, or "Sui Yu"!

As expected, these individuals whose individual strengths were clearly 'beyond the norm' were inextricably linked.
"I can't reveal this, but she wants to make sure Ruoxi is safe, just like you do. Is that enough?"

Recalling the encounter that night, Xu Jinhuan responded to the other party in a pretentiously sophisticated manner.

Shen Ye didn't comment, just nodded.

"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll play with you for two days.

But if Ruoxi loses a hair on Qingluan Mountain, you'd better be careful of your life.

This formation certainly has its unique features, and if I'm willing to pay a price, it's not impossible to take it.

You can try it.”

After saying that, he threw something over.

Xu Jinhuan reached out to take it, and felt it was warm and emitting waves of warmth.

Looking closely, it was a piece of jade the size of a palm.

"This is the sword technique I modified for Ruoxi during my retreat, specifically based on her physique.

Please pass it to her for me."

coming!

He put it in his arms calmly, and Xu Jinhuan was secretly happy.

This was the case with Gu Niaoniao a few days ago, and it is also the case with Shen Ye.

Sure enough, as long as he stayed by the side of Zhao Ruoxi, the 'son of luck', whatever he picked up would be treasures that ordinary people could never reach in their lifetime!

"How should I tell her the origin of this sword skill?"

Shen Ye's face darkened for a moment: "Just say it was a gift from Brother Wu Yong."
-
"My disciples, I am fine, there is no need to panic."

In front of Xinghua Lane, Ning Caixie spoke loudly to comfort the disciples who had come down the mountain to help:

"Master has sealed off the entire Yunliu Town with a large formation. No one can escape quietly.

Everyone, split up and search. If you spot anyone suspicious, don't fight them, light the fireworks immediately!"

"Yes!"

The disciples held torches high and rubbed their hands ready to go.

Although the overall military strength is not high, for hundreds of years, no one who dared to come to Qingluan Mountain to cause trouble has had a good end!
But there are always exceptions
Just as everyone finished speaking, a stream of green light suddenly shot up into the sky from the northwest.

The sharp sword energy was so sharp that people dared not look directly at it, and it instantly tore a hole in the light curtain covering the town.

Everyone could only vaguely see a gray figure quickly disappearing into the distance, and only a voice could be heard from afar:

"Ning Caixie! You used such despicable means to humiliate my wife. If you have the guts, hide in Qingluan Mountain for the rest of your life!

If you dare to take a single step out of the mountain gate, I will tear you into pieces!"

The hoarse voice was deafening and clearly reached the ears of every disciple.

And at the moment when the opponent rushed out of the formation, Ning Caixie, whose internal injuries had not yet healed, felt his Qi shaken and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Seeing this, Zhen Zhiping quickly stepped forward, took hold of his master's arm, and shouted:
"What are you still standing there for? Go search!"

Ning Caixie kicked the other person over and cursed:
"What the hell are you searching for!!!"

His breathing was disordered and all kinds of thoughts were racing in his mind.

'Who is that person?'

Soon, he realized that something was wrong.

"Madam! This boy has ulterior motives."

Yuan Hongling just smiled and gently stroked his back with her hand:

"Don't worry, you and I have been married for over twenty years, how could we be easily deceived by a few words from him?"

At this moment, she finally felt Xu Jinhuan's breath reappear.

After quietly erasing the records of entry and exit at the mountain gate, Yuan Hongling took Ning Caixie's hand and walked up the mountain towards the crowd.

"Sanlang, where is your senior brother?"

Ning Caixie frowned and asked as he still couldn't see the sign of his eldest disciple.

Yuan Hongling spoke first, "I'm worried something might happen to that girl, so I told him not to act rashly and to stay at Zizhu Peak and watch over her."

Ning Caixie nodded without saying anything. There is still a chance.
The person spying on the roof must be a disciple of our sect.

Who is it?——
Purple Bamboo Peak.

Zhao Ruoxi stood in front of Xu Jinhuan's shadow with a frown on her face.

The golden light all over the mountain and the bustling crowds just now proved one thing.

problem occurs!
"Just now, it seemed like someone was cursing Ning Caixie, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, and he finally came back?

Oops"

Could it be that the guy surnamed Xu went down the mountain with his master's wife to have an affair and got caught?

Out of some female intuition, Zhao Ruoxi thought more and more that it was possible
She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't help but worry about the other person.

Suddenly, there was a fluctuation of breath coming from the front.

She looked intently, and the false light and shadow in front of her suddenly dissipated like smoke.

Zhao Ruoxi didn't know what happened, she just felt like her heart skipped a beat.

"Xu Jinhuan"

"Come on, come on, I told you to go to bed."

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Zhao Ruoxi felt relieved instantly.

She turned around suddenly and punched the man in the chest.
"What a shame! There was such a big scene down the mountain. I thought they were attending your funeral."

Even she didn't notice it.

Since when, this man has become her only support.

"Ah, I'm sorry to disappoint Your Highness."

Staring blankly at the blood on the back of her hand, Zhao Ruoxi raised her head and saw that the person in front of her had a pale face and blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"you"

Xu Jinhuan tore off his clothes and motioned for the other party to bring a fire starter.

Then he lit the firewood and threw the blood-stained nightgown into it.

During this process, Zhao Ruoxi finally saw the bloody hole on his right shoulder that was so deep that the bone was visible.

Just as she was at a loss, Xu Jinhuan grabbed a torch and handed it to her:

"Please do me a favor and take care of it, and do it quickly."

Zhao Ruoxi's brain was completely confused.

She knew that there must be a reason for the other party to do this, but now was not the time to ask.

Finally, he made up his mind and thrust the torch in his hand forward.

laugh--!
Enduring the severe pain, Xu Jinhuan gritted his teeth and refused to make a single sound.

He believed that his master's wife would erase all traces of his comings and goings, but given Ning Caixie's suspicious nature, he would definitely come and confirm it with his own eyes later.

All we can do for now is to stop the bleeding.
"Ning, you're really ruthless."

"Sooner or later, we will have to settle all the old and new grudges!"

"Okay, it will be cooked soon."

The woman behind him threw away the torch with a clang and turned away.

"I'll get you some clothes."

A moment later, wisps of smoke rose from the small courtyard of Zizhu Peak.

As soon as Ning Caixie and Yuan Hongling arrived nearby, they smelled the aroma of meat.

The two looked at each other and quickened their pace at the same time.

"Master, you are back!"

"Hahaha, Huan'er, it's almost dawn, why are you in such a good mood and roasting a rabbit?"

The old man and the young man faced each other and walked quickly together.

Ning Caixie smiled widely and patted his good disciple's back vigorously.

Xu Jinhuan laughed heartily and quickly made way for the two to enter.
"Master, you're joking! The mountain protection formation just started working, and the bells kept ringing. How could I, your disciple, sleep?

This ignorant rabbit happened to pass by and took it as a snack.
I'm glad you're okay!"
