"sit down."
After pouring the tea, Xu Chen heard Xia Rushuang's voice. He obediently sat in front of Xia Rushuang.
That pretty face as delicate as white jade was so close to him, but he couldn't feel happy at all, let alone excited.
What happens when a man and a woman are alone in a room together?
Yes, but not the kind of thing you see in gossip books.
Xu Chen felt it was more like a trial.
Xia Rushuang was probably waiting to bring down the hammer of judgment on him at any moment.
Silence spread in the room, and Xu Chen felt that it was becoming difficult to breathe.
"very nervous?"
Xia Rushuang lightly scraped the surface of the tea with the edge of the lid, looked at Xu Chen calmly, and asked.
"A little... Mainly because you didn't say anything, Master. I thought I had done something wrong."
Xu Chen put on the expression of an ordinary disciple who was afraid that he had done something wrong. The fear was not pretended, he was really scared.
It's just that he didn't show on the surface how extremely scared he was inside.
Even if ordinary disciples were afraid of punishment from their master, they would not be as afraid as he was.
After all, he had really hurt Xia Rushuang.
"Oh? What made you think that?"
Xia Rushuang seemed to be completely unaware of what happened three hundred years ago. There was a hint of surprise in her beautiful red eyes: "Did you do something wrong?"
"No."
Xu Chen discovered that Xia Rushuang's acting skills were now quite superb. Three hundred years had passed, and Xia Rushuang was no longer as innocent as before, and her face didn't blush at all when she told lies.
"If not, what are you afraid of?"
Xia Rushuang asked, tilting her face slightly.
"No, I'm just a little nervous in front of Master."
"Am I that scary?"
"No...it's just that the momentum is too strong."
"A sword cultivator should have such momentum."
Xia Rushuang seemed to have no idea the reason, as if she was still teaching Xu Chen.
"That's what Master said."
Xu Chen nodded, not daring to say anything extra.
Now the more you speak, the more mistakes you make; the less you speak, the fewer mistakes you make.
"What did you see when you were on the Sansheng River?"
Xia Rushuang asked lightly, as if she hadn't noticed anything at all.
She saw everything, but pretended not to see it.
The Floating Shadow Pearl on the San Sheng River can see the movements of almost all geniuses. Logically speaking, those who were previously the favorites to win the championship would receive more attention.
But Xia Rushuang would definitely not pay attention to those people.
Xu Chen knew very well that Xia Rushuang would not pay attention to other people and chose to ignore him.
He didn't hold out for anything and said truthfully, "I saw my former sister."
"You have a sister?"
Xia Rushuang's red lips, as soft as rose petals, pressed against the edge of the cup. She took a small sip, and her snow-white neck and throat muscles slid smoothly, making even the tiny swallowing sound elegant and moving.
"Used to have."
Xu Chen looked a little sad and said, "But I can't find her now."
"what happened?"
Xia Rushuang looked at Xu Chen with interest. She wanted to know how many more stories Xu Chen would make up.
"When I was sixteen, she left and never came back."
Xu Chen seemed a little sad, with tears in his eyes.
It is true that Gu Xiao is missing, but she is definitely not his sister, nor is she out and not back.
This lie is hard to expose.
Because his emotions are real.
Coupled with his excellent acting skills, he believed that Xia Rushuang would not be able to see any clues.
"Condolences."
Xia Rushuang's tone was calm, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not.
Before she finished her question, she turned and asked, "Do you have any clue about her disappearance?"
"Master, to be honest, she used the magic cultivation technique to save me back then."
Xu Chen did not hesitate and spoke directly.
He didn't believe that Xia Rushuang didn't know about this.
It’s better to be honest.
After hearing this, Xia Rushuang said calmly, "Anyone can kill the demon cultivator."
"But she saved me back then, Master..."
"That's not OK."
Xia Rushuang showed no mercy and said, "But she's already missing. I won't do anything more."
"Thank you, Master."
Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xia Rushuang didn't intend to dig into the matter.
He always felt that Xia Rushuang was always playing tricks on him and had no intention of letting him reveal anything.
There is a feeling of being played around by applause.
"Have you ever heard of a witch?"
Xu Chen had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this explosive question and was caught off guard.
Sure enough, Xia Rushuang had already connected Gu Xiao and the witch together.
This is not a good thing.
Xu Chen did not dare to neglect it and said seriously: "I have heard that the witch killed many people."
Xia Rushuang nodded slightly and asked, "Then did you know that her hair is silver?"
"know."
Xu Chen knew what Xia Rushuang wanted to say and kept thinking about how to respond in his mind.
"When your sister uses magic, her hair is also silver."
Xia Rushuang looked down at the ripples that had inexplicably formed in the teacup and said, "Is there any connection between the two?"
"How could there be a connection? Master, you must be joking."
Xu Chen would of course not admit it and explained, "The witch was a woman from hundreds of years ago. Even if my sister is still alive, she is only eighteen years old now."
He said the same thing as Wang Junjing: age is the biggest problem.
Unless it can be proven that Xu Chen is a man over 300 years old, there is no way to mistake the woman in his illusion for the silver-haired witch.
A person’s age can be seen from his bones, but Xu Chen is now rejuvenated and is quite different from before.
He looked like a young man in his twenties, and in no way did he look like someone over three hundred years old.
"makes sense."
Xia Rushuang seemed to accept Xu Chen's statement and continued, "How did you get to know Liang Lanmeng and Xu Yunyan?"
Liang Lanmeng and Xu Yunyan?
Xu Chen was not pretending. He didn't react at first to who these two people were.
After a while, he remembered that Liang Lanmeng was the daughter of the straight punch martial arts master, and that was Hua Panqiao's current identity.
As for Xu Yunyan...
It seems to be Ji Yiyan’s pseudonym.
Xu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
Xia Rushuang was a little suspicious. Xu Chen's reaction just now was too real. How could this happen?
She calmed down and asked calmly, "But they have always paid attention to you."
"I don't know why this happened."
"Not sure or afraid to say?"
These words were so painful that Xu Chen almost jumped up.
He kept shaking his head and said, "I'm telling the truth. I hope Master will believe me."
"You never tell the truth."
Xia Rushuang suddenly turned her face cold and said sinisterly, which frightened Xu Chen greatly.
"Master, I..."
"Nothing, just pretend you didn't hear it. Go down."
Xia Rushuang rubbed her temples and didn't plan to continue chatting.
"Master, I really am telling the truth."
"I know. Go down."
"Yes."
Xu Chen felt relieved and left the room, knowing that the next person he would have to deal with was Yin Qimeng.
When Xia Rushuang saw him leave and closed the door, the expression on her pretty face became much colder.
She didn't understand what she was waiting for.
After everything quieted down, she opened her delicate red lips slightly and said, "I don't know how long you will keep pretending."
One hundred and eight, here comes the big one!
night.
Qufeng City.
The lights on the streets illuminated the night sky like daylight. People in the streets and alleys were talking and countless voices were heard, making it even more lively than during the day.
The news of the grand martial arts performance has spread to all parts of Qufeng City. Even people who don’t have the chance to squeeze into the vicinity of Sansheng River have heard about the grand martial arts performance and know which sixteen contestants have entered the elimination round.
Most of them were favorites before the game, except Xu Chen.
The most surprising person today was Xu Chen. No one had expected that Chu Heze, the number one genius of Tianyun Chamber of Commerce who was highly expected by the Chu family, would fail in the trial of sixty-four to sixteen.
Moreover, according to rumors, Chu Heze was not defeated by Yun Panxia, who had been protecting Xu Chen, but was defeated head-on by Xu Chen.
I heard that the speed was so overwhelming that Chu Heze couldn't hit him at all and was directly executed with a back-to-back attack.
People had to drastically change their impression of the second genius of Xuyun Sword Sect, and moved his ranking up again, and the odds of various casinos were also readjusted.
The odds for Xu Chen and Xiang Wanqiu are no longer one-sided. Although Xiang Wanqiu's odds are lower, Xu Chen's odds are not too high either.
"That Zhao Chen is truly formidable... I never thought the Xuyun Sword Sect would be so powerful just the next day. The Chu family is in for a real hard time this time."
