After daybreak, under Bai Wenyuan’s guidance, Kou Zhong and Shang Xiuxun, leading the Ranch’s elite troops, finally arrived at the se their horses The warhorses were under the care of more than a dozen Shaoshuai Army soldiers None of horses was not in its optith-exhausted, muscle-weary warhorses that ca the distance and ti and Bai Wenyuan decided to rest for half a sichen
The warriors felt as if they had just been granted an aht travel really need not be mentioned In a split second they were already sprawled over the entire valley, creating an iht To let their horses rest more comfortably, they all unloaded the saddle The officers and soldiers took off their ar, they ar went to the small brook in the valley to wash his face with the ice-cold water Scooping up the water, he drank ht, free and easy, and satisfaction
Shang Xiuxun’s graceful, clear andout behind hi to accept the letter, and thus absolving er in her voice
Kou Zhong si Xiuxun walked over; grabbing the back of his collar with one hand, she stuffed the letter into his neck with the other
“Aiyo!” Kou Zhong cried out, stood up and blurted out, “Kong Laofuzi [ie Confucius] had said, indecent assault includes touching; some people also said that ive or receive things [this one is actually a citation froard all these rules and regulations Looks like in the future, I, Kou Zhong, will not need to abide by the rules toward you”
Shang Xiuxun retreated three steps back With a sry, she fixed her gaze on hi to fish the plain yellow letter from the back of his neck in panic, while his head was still dripping wet Pouting her cute lips, she spoke with disdain, “Since when did a man like you ever abide by the rules? But if you dare not to behave towardto the house rules”
Kou Zhong’s eyes fell onto the letter in his hand; he saritten on the letter was ‘Addressed to Mr Kou Zhong for your perusal’, six polite, yet uan yue], in beautiful calligraphic style His heart ached, but pretending to be happy, he said, “Turns out Beautiful Changzhu is seeing ard zhu must iht expect, this is soet Just now your jade-hands gropedas I live”
Shang Xiuxun’s pretty face blushed slightly, she spoke fiercely, “If you are babbling nonsense to ain, I will immediately take my men back to the Ranch, and will not pay anypondered deeply for half a day, before putting it together with Lu Miaozi’s treasured book inside his oilcloth bundle, which he hid well inside his pocket Dejectedly he sat on a big boulder by the creek, wiped the traces of water fro rock opposite him, he said, “Why don’t you sit down and have a chat withdown, Kou Zhong handed a dried ration to her and said with a laugh, “Changzhu, please dois theXiuxun tore the dried ration he handed her, but her face did not show the slightest bit of displeasure; on the contrary, she asked blissfully, “What do you ”
Kou Zhong already had good understanding of her teh she loved to act aloof and rerant heart was actually extre quietly, he replied softly, “When I eat soulp; when zhu eats, your expression is extre-the-hidden-away, exploring-the-mystery look, but there is also the resistance of the desire to gobble up the food quickly If the delicious food was a culinary delicacy and heavy, your eating posture was eventhe pure innocence of a little girl Ay! Are you, or are you not, going to let me watch you eat? Do you want me to feed you? If I can obtain this superior task, it will bringthe world It would be better if you’d just ood food that I can serve to you every day”
Shang Xiuxun laughed like a flower treer, “If I have nothing to do, looking for you to relieve boredo, and it will appear like a deluge of heavenly flowers [idioant e What do you obble up the food quickly’? At most it’s just like before the battle weon the advancing or retreating path There is no such thing as the wo Princess?”
Seeing her laughing and joking without restraint, plus noticing her absolutely-don’t-care charhted; he said, “You have not even left your lady’s cha Pai’s social custo the reat h spirit to chat; looking ilowered at hiet that Lu Miaozi favorite pasti loved to recount all kinds of strange things to ’s heart was moved, he said, “In that case, have you ever heard about the Eight Major Martial Art Masters of the De Xiuxun said, “Of course I have”
Kou Zhong happily said, “I a information about that; tellXiuxun leaned her hazel tree head [I swear, this ti to be pondering over pastsmoothly, “The conduct of the people from the demonic way is secretive and unfathoe about this Even martial art masters who came from the Two Sects and Six Ways of demonic schools would try in thousand ways, a hundred plans, to conceal their origin, lest they provoke those people who consider thee and attack the asked, “What are the Two Sects and Six Ways?”
Shang Xiuxun replied, “The two sects are Yin Gui Pai and Hua Jian Pai [lit a the flowers, the title of this chapter] …”
Stunned, Kou Zhong said, “Hua Jian Pai, this name is fairly pleasant to hear, but I have never heard anybodyXiuxun said, “Between the two sects, Yin Gui Pai is always the leader, not because Hua Jian is inferior to Yin Gui, but because in each generation, Hua Jian only has one disciple; therefore, the identity is highly secretive, even people of demonic schools do not knoho the descendant of the Hua Jian Pai is”
Kou Zhong was puzzled, “Supposing this descendant, because his training goes wrong and he pass away, or perhaps he suddenly die in battle, wouldn’t their teaching be cut short? Although this situation is very rare, but overXiuxun crossly said, “You always love to call out ironic reuard against that happening! They have the so-called ‘Hu Pai Zunzhe’ [Protector of the Sect, ‘zunzhe’ simply means ‘honored sir’], with the specific responsibility of preserving the notes, references and eneration’s disciple writes down based on what he has learned through experience and study, to ensure that Hua Jian Pai’s teaching will not be cut short”
S said, “Wouldn’t that eneration? At least there are two Yet you bla ironic remark”
“That is because you just don’t understand the details!” Shang Xiuxun said, “These ‘Hu Pai Zunzhe’ are not Hua Jian Pai’s disciples at all; they are just custodians of Hua Jian Pai’s library To put it more strictly, they only have to knohere those books and records are hidden; moreover, they must be women It is because Hua Jian Pai’s martial arts are only suitable for men, and not women If a woman forcibly trained it, there will be unexpected cala with eyes open wide and e,” he said, “The practitioner must be a lonely, secretive, and peculiarly eccentric person Oh! Changzhu, you are so beautiful!”
Theher in its brilliant light The effect was like raising her purity to a higher level, showing off her tenderness and beauty that was out of this world, causing Kou Zhong to blurt out in praise
Shang Xiuxun’s jet-black eyebrows knitted slightly, she said, “Don’t change the subject It’s not that Hua Jian Pai’s descendants are lonely by nature, rather, they are in pursuit of loneliness, because Hua Jian Pai has a belief, that is, the relationshi+p between people is superfluous and less, which is actually one step further, and hasi old and dead, and do not have dealings with each other’”
Greatly interested, Kou Zhong asked, “Such an extreht, yet they took such a rozhu knoho the disciple of this generation Hua Jian Pai is; could he be one of the Eight Major Martial Art Masters of the De her head, Shang Xiuxun replied, “I already said that even deet about people who are not fro to find out who it is As for the previous generation’s Hua Jian Pai disciple, Lu Miaozi had a guess that it was shi+ Zhixuan, whose heart was zhai, so that he was reluctant to leave this world None the disciples of the Hua Jian Pai are not elegant, fine gongzi [young uished and acco the flowers They use heartless to confront passion, to break the heart of women all over the world Hey, why does your countenance beco said, “I knoho the Hua Jian Pai’s disciple of this generation is”

Xuan Yong suddenly asked, “Xu Ye is just at the priht at the time when a man would have aspiration to travel far and make his mark in the world; why do you always have the heart to retired? With you helping Shao Shuai, who aainst you two?”
