Kou Zhong leaned over to Xu Ziling’s ear and whispered, “shi+ Feixuan falls in love with you Because she fell in love with you, both ti to Xiaodi’s side”
Xu Ziling sighed and said, “On the contrary, that was the way she hinted that there is a formless, yet impassable chasm between the two of us When she took her leave, sheis evenwas du left speechless for half a day, suddenly wrapped his ared hi in distress, “We, two brothers, both have broken heart within our bosom! If not separation in life, then it is parted by death But oneto do My choice is the ever onward, no return; the path of the contending for hegeht about a lot of things, finally I realized that only by facing difficulties and challenges one by one, and settingthe world will di, whether we can find the Duke Yang Treasure or not, I will let you leave, and I will be glad that you leave If one day I die in battle, you will take a good care of Little Lingzhong for ; all kinds of emotion bubbled up in his heart
They were both orphans; they were mutually dependent for their survival since they were little Growing up in the you-hoodwink- kind of environment, other than complete trust toward each other, they had always had skeptical attitude toward other people Fu Junchuo was the first person on their genuine affection, next to her was Susu But both of them died one after another, so the cruel bloard the two boys was hard to accept
On the road of love, the two boys experienced layer upon layer of twists and turns
Kou Zhong suffered heartache fro Yuzhi in succession, whichof contending over the world If this goal were to be taken away froe, this was the situation he was facing
Due to heartless hint fro was emotionally hurt as well In that instant, he suddenly understand co’s complicated frahtest adant, exquisite peerless beauty, he would only deceive others and deceive himself
He remembered shi+ Feixuan’s tale of the ‘boy atches the concoction of pills of i this story, not only shi+ Feixuan was straightening hi others while actually praising herself, expressing that she would never let herself falling into any kind of emotion in this world, which was only illusory
Kou Zhong suddenly pulled his mask and stuffed it into his bosoot tohis brows, Xu Ziling asked, “Whypulled his hand fro his white, shi+ny teeth, he laughed and said, “Because o all out, to find several people to testhi asked, “You are not afraid of revealing our trace, and let the ene with murderous intent; he spoke in heavy voice, “If others really find out about it, perhaps there will be strange effect instead In the case of Du Fuwei, if he learned that I alin and his ainst hi Bandits and Zhu Can knew that I cahten their troop forht that I a re pushed him away, and looked intently at him; he said, “I have spoken so reasonably, why haven’t you taken off your ’s stare, his eyes carried a deep, strong feeling, as he spoke gently, “Is it because I a pain in ’s entire body, fro his face on the roof tile, he spoke in distress, “Quite possibly shi+ Feixuan is the only woman in the world who can move your heart, yet unexpectedly she treated you like this The heaven above is really unfair Whenever I think that I ah fire and water in the battlefield, and you will travel alone along the lonely journey, I just want to cry, to vent the resentment in my heart Ay! It is actually better that Su Jie died”
Xu Ziling slowly took off his xiang, once the main problem is solved, all troubles are solved [or, death ends all one’s troubles] Don’t forget to bring the paint and the brush”
The two boys leaped over the high wall Very soon they reached the flower garden of the rear courtyard The security at Hefei’s Zongguan Mansion was very sloppy; as soon as they passed the sentry guarding the , it was as if they were entering a no-htly Out of the ‘Eight Major Martial Art Masters of the Demonic School’, at least tere here, and the two boys were fully aware how for’s craftiness would not be easy to deal with But now all they needed to do was to ling, Kou Zhong was looking for a wall facing the garden, and painted red characters ‘Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were here’ Whispering in Xu Ziling’s ear, he said, “What do you think of these two lines?”
“Really strange,” Xu Ziling answered, “That kind of power is a lot more understated, but I feel more tension instead I like these few characters”
Kou Zhong was so happy that he felt like roaring in laughter; he said, “This is called progress People are constantly changing; calligraphy e, then it stands for stagnation”
After a short pause, he said, “All right, that should do it Nohere are we going to find Pi Chen, that yaodao?”
Xu Ziling was about to answer, suddenly an alar to hide under a sarden rockery
A man, as fat as a wine barrel, jumped down frohtly tapped the grass, in the blink of an eye he already flew into the pavilion, which was connected to the sravel path
The garden covered an area with peri, the trees, flowers and plants were tastefully chosen But since Kou Zhong’s calligraphic rove, it was not visible fro neck back, and said with astonishnaled him not tosleeve, followed by a ent that it cannot wait till toht it was Zuo Youxian, but then he noticed Xu Ziling’s bewildered expression, hence he knew Xu Ziling did not recognize the voice
And then the et lost far away for arden”
Seven, eight arden
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances; they had a vague guess as who the speaker was
An Long sat down on the stone bench inside the pavilion; he sighed and said, “You and I are, after all, martial brothers; how could you not cherish old affection the slightest bit?”
The man sneered coldly and said, “The one who did not reyou Fifteen years ago I broke away fro [lit heavenly lotus school/sect], that moment I was already not your shi+di, let alone now; you and I have nothing to do with each other I do whatever I want to do, it’s none of your business to interfere”
As expected, he was Du Fuwei’s sworn brother, the Jiang Huai Aryou What was unexpected was that he caer !’
The stone table was sround
“How dare you!” An Long angrily said, “After entering our Tian Lian Men, how could as soon as you say you want to withdraw and you withdraw just like that? In the past, I put up with you just because I remembered the old affection between martial brothers, plus I saw that your acco with Laojun Temple and their direct disciples to deal with!”
Inwardly Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling cried how lucky they were
An Long’s pal to the sound, they knew that it seeth; yet it was able to crush a solid stone table into powder Just this kind of skill, not hu would be able to accoarden one step earlier, or they had not hidden in time, there was no way they would be able to hide froyou was a preeemon over certain territory, just from the fact that he shouted his men to withdraw, and came without any attendants, it was clear that he was not afraid of An Long, so this time he was not inti coldly and said, “In allto owe anybody any debt, but if anybody ever owes , it must be repaid For the last fifteen years, I have not chased after you to ask for shi+zun’s [revered master] debt of blood, but now the ti had a sudden understanding; they just realized that Fu Gongyou was using this Bai Ye General asse did not get angry, he laughed instead Gasping for breath, he said, “Such a good joke shi+zun’s death was due to hi in the Center of the Sky] and suffered fire deviation, so e in his entire body burst and he died Just because his bones did not survive, what does it have to do with ? And now that I sit on the ‘Lian Zhu’ [lit lotus s, sucking in blood and spewing people? Hu’s Lianzhu, a to clean up the school on behalf of the Heaven’s way”
A glooe, “Now that is really a joke Even if you mastered the Tian Xin Huan, this ti this place alive,up your school”
Xu Ziling did not have shi+ Qingxuan’s skill of focusing voice into a thread and sending it into Kou Zhong’s ear, therefore, he had to resort to ’s back, so that the latter ily, An Long did not get angry, he acted surprised instead, and said, “If I am not mistaken, the two of you are passionate rivals, like fire and water; one tiht until the heaven falls and the earth rends; how coer from the same nostril? What happened? Did the world really reverse its rotation?”
Fu Gongyou coldly said, “Other than fabricating crafty plots andHeaven and reason, you only kno to fart Get lost! Killing you like this, it will be too convenient for you I want to see you sloither and rot”
Just by listening to the hatred in his voice, it was clear that even the entire water of the Great River would not be enough to wash away the en let out a burst of ear-splitting long laughter, which sounded a little like a pig being slaughtered; extre waves and rising a storht into the listeners’ bones andspoke indifferently, “Do you think by sticking yourself to Du Fuwei you would be able to call the wind and suood situation is just an illusion; it has reached the-sunset, the-end-of-the-road moment If you don’t believe me, let’s just wait and see”
With disdain in his voice, Zuo Youxian said, “Do you think we don’t know that you are secretly wooing Xiao Xian, Zhu Can and Cao Yinglong to deal with us?”
