C48 (2/2)

”Ten years ago, in the valley!”

Pu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and glared at me. To the side, Zhan He also frowned as he looked at me with eyes full of coldness. Only Elder Bai was still meditating with his eyes closed, as if he didn't care about what was happening outside.

”What do you know?” From the looks of it, if I were to answer even the slightest of questions, it would be difficult for me to retreat safely today.

”I know a lot!” I was a little nervous, but I didn't dare to show it. I pretended that I didn't see his expression and casually said, ”That outer disciple has been here for quite a few years, so he does know a bit. He told me that there was no one in the entire Sky Sect who didn't know of the events that occurred in the valley ten years ago. Also, tell me, what is that person's name Zhang Fugui, hehe, it's a rather rustic name. ”

”What else?” Pu Xuan and Zhu He furrowed their brows. They were a little worried, but there weren't many of them.

”Also, the place where he once lived was taken over by Xu Cangyuan and people were arranged to clean it every day. However, he doesn't live there and he occasionally stands in front of the house with a dazed look on his face. Thus, I guessed that Xu Cangyuan must be Zhang Fugui's friend from before, and he must be very sad. So when I was fighting with him on the stage, I used my words to provoke him.

Seeing my happy expression, Pu Xuan and Bian He looked at each other and their eyebrows relaxed.

”Zi Ming,” Pu Xuan patted me on the shoulder, ”This matter regarding Jue Gu, must not be spread out.”

”Why?” I pretended to be puzzled.

”Hey, you've grown up too. There are some things you can know. With regards to the matter of the absolute valley, speaking of the two sects making things difficult for a child, we have truly lost all face. All these years, we didn't say anything and tried our best not to think about it, because we felt guilty inside. ”

Pu Xuan acted as if he was heartbroken, as if the person thrown into the valley was his son. Zhe He also had a look of shame on his face as he shook his head repeatedly.

”Oh, oh. This disciple understands. I will never tell anyone about this ever again!”

Hmph, a bunch of old bastards, are they afraid of losing face? Such a clumsy excuse, it's fine to lie to your stupid disciple. If I guess correctly, they are still afraid of the person behind me, Grandpa Sun! However, even after so many years, no one took revenge. Were they still worried? Was it as simple as I thought?

”Master, can you give me some pills?”

Pu Xuan frowned, ”Again? ”What?”

”Look at me,” I said with a bitter face, ”Although Xu Cangyuan's mind is in chaos today, he is still very strong. In order to defeat him, I have spat out a few mouthfuls of Danqi!”

”Sigh, you are also here for the sect. Here are some healing pellets, take them.”

Looking at Pu Xuan's painful expression, I sneered in my heart.

After returning to my residence, it was already nightfall. I sat cross-legged to meditate for a long time, but Qiu Xuan still hadn't arrived. It looks like Qiu Xuan has already determined that I won't be able to get ahold of Ling Kong's strength during the battle tomorrow, and that I'll have to let Qiu Xi out of the picture.

Qiu Xuan, Qiu Xi said that there is a constant love behind your back. What is this love? Are you using me purely to kill Qiu Xi?

In the middle of the night, as I was meditating, a voice suddenly rang in my head, ”The waterfall behind the mountain.”

That was Qiu Xuan's voice. I opened my eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, even he doesn't think that I can test Qiu Xi's strength, so there's no need to look for me. Now that there's so many people watching, it would be hard to avoid people guessing that the crime of colluding with other sects is unavoidable.

However, no matter how suspicious I am, I still have to go to the back mountain's waterfall. Qiu Xuan is a cautious person, so he must have a way to deal with all the circumstances since he came looking for me.

Arriving at the waterfall at the back of Thirteenth Peak, I heard the rumbling sound beside my ears. Looking at Qiu Xuan, whose white clothes were like snow, for some reason, my suspicions towards him lessened greatly. Remembering the trip to the absolute valley where he delivered medicine and the fact that he helped me during the battle, perhaps it was my own suspicion that stayed there for too long, forgetting what trust is.

”You're here.”

”I'm here.”

Qiu Xuan turned her head, not even looking at me, but staring at the bright moon in the sky. After a long while, she slowly said, ”I'll teach you a sword art today. If you use it well, it's not impossible to expose Qiu Xi's identity in tomorrow's battle.”

My eyes narrowed. A sword art? What did Qiu Xuan want to do?

”Learn or not?”

I nodded. ”Yes!”

Qiu Xuan suddenly turned around to look at me with a dark expression. ”This sword art is called Falling Butterfly. It's my strongest sword art, but because your cultivation level isn't high enough, it'll depend on you to display its full power.”

After saying that, he waved his hand and a fallen leaf slowly fell into his hands. He looked at me, and Qiu Xuan's two fingers gripped onto the leaf. Under the moonlight, I suddenly saw that the leaf seemed to have become somewhat blurry for a moment.

After a moment, Qiu Xuan released his fingers and turned to leave, leaving behind the leaf. It really was like a dead butterfly, quietly floating in the air.

I opened my mouth to ask Qiu Xuan some questions, but he left too suddenly, so I had to give up.

Looking at the floating leaf, I focused my Qi to look at it. I immediately realized that there was something different about this leaf. When I looked at it closely, I realized that all my meridians had shattered!

I extended my hand to grab the leaf. In my mind, I saw Qiu Xuan shattering all the leaves. It was extremely clear and clear. It seemed that Qiu Xuan had deliberately left those leaves inside.

This sword contained only a single ray of sword energy. It was extremely fast, accurate, and extremely thin. I was shocked in my heart. If this sword was used against an enemy, who could defend against it?

It seemed that the moves were not the stronger the momentum, but the Falling Butterfly Sword Technique, such as the one created by Jian Xuan and Chen Ziming.

”Luo Die, this sword technique is called Luo Die. Why did Qiu Xuan's name become like this? Is it because of his feelings …”
