The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Xiao Changying immediately became anxious: "Don't say it, don't say it, who are you, and what do you want from me?"

"Hehe, who I am is not important, I just want you to do one thing for me."

"You said."

"I will ensure your safe arrival in Jiangling. An Qingwan will also be unable to discern who the real Xiao Changying is. However, you must become my pawn and regularly transmit information about the Thirty-Six Islands to me."

Xiao Wu's face turned extremely ugly.

But he dared not utter a single word of dissent.

He had finally obtained Xiao Changying's identity, and he was unwilling to let it all go to waste.

“How could I believe you could keep An Qingwan from noticing anything amiss? She wants to keep Xiao Changying by her side for treatment. Once Xiao Changying is cured, I’m finished. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken this risk tonight.”

The person hidden in the shadows said confidently, "Even though I've been here and we've talked for so long, An Qingwan still hasn't noticed!"

Xiao Wu was taken aback.

That seems to make sense.

The person hiding in the shadows was able to evade An Qingwan; his strength is probably far greater than An Qingwan's.

Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, senior, I promise you!"

"Hehe, that's right. You're not stupid, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to pull off this elaborate trick."

After a moment of silence, a sound came from the shadows again.

"I'm only curious about one thing now: why do you insist on keeping Xiao Changying by your side? Wouldn't it be better to just kill him and be done with it? Keeping him by your side only increases the risk of being exposed."

Xiao Wu sighed, "Senior, I have no choice. No matter how I interrogate him, he just won't tell me where the treasure map of the Great Qi is. What can I do? If I kill him, the Great Qi treasure will disappear completely. If I leave him somewhere, I'm afraid something will happen to him."

"You're quite greedy. You've already taken his identity, yet you're still eyeing his family's treasure."

Xiao Wu said awkwardly, "Senior, I know I was wrong."

"Just wait patiently and don't take any more risky moves."

The wind blew by, and then there was no more sound in it.

Xiao Wu stood there for a long time before hurriedly washing the dishes and leaving.

He felt a faint sense of anticipation.

This senior is quite capable. If he can successfully establish a connection with him, it will probably not be difficult for him to solidify his identity as Xiao Changying in the future.

Although I will be subject to restrictions, it is still thousands of times better than being a page for the rest of my life.

"It wasn't in vain that I took the risk and gambled!"

……

In the bamboo forest.

The eldest brother and the others had heard everything that had just happened.

The eldest disciple trembled with rage: "Your Highness, his identity is clear, why not just kill that bastard with one blow?"

An Qingwan said, "No rush. It's better to spare his life than not to."

The eldest brother asked, "What do you mean by that?"

An Qingwan said, "In a couple of days I will announce to the whole martial arts world that Xiao Changying is in my hands. Anyone who dares to come and capture him will be killed. If one comes, I will kill him; if two come, I will kill them both. At that time, everyone's attention will be focused on that fake Xiao Changying, and you will be able to secretly take the real Xiao Changying to Jiangling."

The eldest brother's expression changed: "This way we're safe, but Your Highness, you..."

An Qingwan said, "It's alright, I have my own way."

What does she have to be afraid of? She'd rather someone come and die.

And she does have a way.

She planned to use the fake Xiao Changying as bait to lure out Xue Lianxi, who was hiding in the shadows.

Xue Lianxi's main purpose in going out this time was to capture the descendants of the Prince of Yueyang.

Imagine, when An Qingwan is dueling with Sanchi, she suddenly learns the location of the fake Xiao Changying. Would she show up and kidnap the fake Xiao Changying?

Most definitely!

Once she kidnaps the fake Xiao Changying, everyone in the martial arts world who has designs on the Great Qi's secret treasure will regard the Yinji Sect as a thorn in their side.

An Qingwan was happy to do something that would both lure Xue Lianxi out and create enemies for the Yinji Sect.

"However, before I carry out the plan, I need to see someone first."

"Who?"

An Qingwan laughed and said, "Sanchi, I need her to cooperate with me!"

P.S.: Thank you Night Wind Feather for the knife.

Miss Ninety-Eight, you don't want to be abandoned by me, do you? [3k]

June.

The wind howled.

Heavy rain.

In the north of Yizhou, in a dilapidated temple.

People seeking shelter from the rain gathered around a campfire, chatting about recent events.

"I heard there's a war going on in Hexi right now?"

"It's not just Hexi, the Hetao region is in chaos too. Ji Xiaojie of the Zhenwu Sect colluded with the Turks to start a rebellion and was given some kind of title of Khan by the Turks. Now he can't even leave the Hetao region."

"Speaking of colluding with the Turks, didn't the Li family of Yizhou also collude with the Turks and try to cause trouble in Yizhou? Fortunately, the heroes of Sichuan are extraordinary. They not only thwarted Li Xintong's conspiracy, but also uprooted the Li family of Yizhou."

"The heroes of Sichuan were able to thwart the conspiracy of the Li family of Yizhou, thanks in large part to one person."

"Master Chen, are you referring to the Goddess of Xiaoxiang?"

“Exactly.” Master Chen shook his head and said, “The Goddess of Xiaoxiang is no ordinary person. I once saw her, and at that time she destroyed the Taiqing Dao, which was causing trouble in Xiaoxiang.”

These words shocked those around them.

"Master Chen actually met the Goddess of Xiaoxiang?"

"Was she really a fairy who descended to earth?"

Master Chen laughed and said, "Rather than calling her a fairy, I think she's more like..."

"More like a sincere person, sincere to oneself and sincere to the heart."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out from the dilapidated temple.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man wearing a straw hat appear at the entrance of the dilapidated temple.

The man was unremarkable in appearance, except for a long, black-sheathed sword hanging at his waist.

One of the people taking shelter from the rain asked, "Who are you...?"

The swordsman in the straw hat said, "No need to ask."

The person seeking shelter from the rain was taken aback: "No need to ask?"

The swordsman in the straw hat said, "I'm just passing by; I'm just waiting for someone."

Master Chen understood; the other side clearly didn't want to have anything to do with them.

He rarely asks questions of people he meets on the street; when traveling the world, he is most afraid of getting involved in trouble.

But today is different.

It was because the swordsman in the straw hat seemed to know An Qingwan as well.

He would always remember that rain in Xiaoxiang, and he would always remember that white figure that casually stabbed Evil Blade King Mu Bai to death.

"Is this great hero perhaps waiting for Miss An?"

The swordsman in the straw hat said, "I'm waiting for someone I absolutely must go find."

We absolutely must find Lady An's people?

After a moment of stunned silence, Mr. Chen came to his senses.

At this time of year, there is only one person who must go to find Lady An!

"She is coming."

The swordsman in the straw hat suddenly tensed up, and his hand involuntarily pressed down on the hilt of his sword.

Anyone could tell he was nervous.

In fact, everyone was on edge.

The dilapidated temple suddenly became cold after he said those words.

That cold was a cold that even a burning fire couldn't dispel.

The cold made Mr. Chen's heart beat faster and faster.

coming!

Two figures appeared in the misty rain.

One was a black shadow, the other a white shadow.

The white figure seemed to be more than just a human silhouette; it was a lamp, a lantern illuminating the gloomy rain curtain.

The swordsman in the straw hat began to throb.

Sweat rolled down his forehead, his nose, and his chin.

He watched.

He tried to draw his sword.

But he couldn't draw his sword.

Until the white figure was about to pass by the entrance of the dilapidated temple.

The swordsman in the straw hat still took a step forward.

"Yu Miaozhen!"

He shouted it out to bolster his courage.

The white figure stopped, and when she turned around, she revealed a pair of eyes as cold as stars.

"You study swordsmanship?"

A cool, clear sound came through the rain.

The swordsman in the straw hat shouted, "I want to learn swordsmanship!"

Yu Miaozhen asked, "What kind of swordsmanship do you practice?"

The swordsman in the straw hat said, "Zhu Family Sword, I am Zhu Qi, the Divine Sword of Pinglu!"

Yu Miaozhen tilted her head, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were thinking very seriously.

Zhu Qi's expression changed instantly: "You've never heard of me before?"

Yu Miaozhen said blankly, "I only remember the people I should remember."

Zhu Qi's eyes twitched, and he said, "So, the name of the Pinglu Divine Sword isn't even worth remembering for you?"

Yu Miaozhen didn't know how to answer.

"I do not know."

Zhu Qi finally grasped the sword hilt.

He was a swordsman, a proud swordsman.

When he faced An Qingwan last time, even though he knew he was no match for her, he still managed to stab her with his sword.

After that, it took him nearly twenty days to dare to hold the sword again.

Now he has encountered the Three Fools, and even though he knows he is not as good as the Three Fools, he still can't help himself.

His swords always have some unique features!
