Chapter 39

The valley was secluded, and the small house was clean.

Xiaolongnu sat quietly by the stream, looking at her reflection. Suddenly, she heard Cheng Ying playing the flute. The sound was elegant and peaceful, making Xiaolongnu look toward Cheng Ying. Xiaolongnu was also someone who knew music well. She often played the zither for her own amusement and could hear some complicated thoughts contained in the flute sound, which were the same as her own at this time.

After Cheng Ying finished playing, she saw Xiaolongnu's eyes shining and walked over actively. Before she could speak, Xiaolongnu took the initiative to talk about music. The two talked briefly and felt that they both had a thought of avoiding the world, and the distance between them suddenly narrowed.

"If I had taken you as my disciple in the Ancient Tomb back then, perhaps I wouldn't have come down the mountain now."

Xiaolongnu's voice was indifferent.

Cheng Ying listened to the various things about the Ancient Tomb that Xiaolongnu told her and said: "I thought my personality was already very boring, but I didn't expect there to be someone like you. If I have free time in the future, I will definitely visit the Ancient Tomb."

They whispered to each other and regarded each other as confidants. In front of Xiaolongnu, Cheng Ying did not want to wear a mask anymore and reached out to take off the human-skin mask. But just as she looked up, she saw Gu Qing sitting on the eaves, having already heard the conversation between the two, which made Cheng Ying feel a bit ashamed and angry. She picked up a stone and threw it at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was stubborn and had wolfish ambitions; Cheng Ying knew this very well.

Xiaolongnu also looked up, watching Gu Qing sitting on the eaves, and frowned slightly. She met Cheng Ying and regarded her as a confidant, rarely revealing her thoughts, but being overheard by Gu Qing made her feel strange.

Gu Qing caught the stone lightly, smiled at the two, and said: "I didn't mean to listen. I was observing Li Li Mochou's movements."

While speaking, Gu Qing took the stone and threw it into a tree crown. Only a rustling sound was heard, forcing a woman to jump down from the tree crown.

Apricot-yellow Daoist robe, plump and beautiful.

This was the famous Red-Clad Fairy of the martial arts world. She had also lurked here early, having heard all of Xiaolongnu's thoughts.

"Junior Sister."

Li Mochou had heard many of Xiaolongnu's thoughts and felt some pity. She said: "The martial arts world is indeed not a good place to go, but the Ancient Tomb is lonely and not a place for people to live for a long time. You should find a place of peace, rather than that gloomy Ancient Tomb."

Xiaolongnu nodded lightly. Since she was young, this senior sister had taught her many things, so no matter how Li Mochou forced her, or even made Xiaolongnu almost die, Xiaolongnu always had some feelings for this senior sister.

"Today is a matter within our Ancient Tomb Sect. Gu Qing, go to the side!"

Li Li Mochou said again.

She played a warm card first, then wanted to exclude Gu Qing from the event.

Li Li Mochou was a person who walked the Jianghu and had the most well-informed news. She had heard about Gu Qing defeating the Mongol National Teacher and others at the Lu Family Manor, and she also knew the power of the "Double Sword Combination." So letting Gu Qing stand by was the best.

Xiaolongnu looked at Gu Qing.

"I should count as an insider."

Gu Qing did not want to listen to Jianghu rules. If he was banned, wouldn't Yang Guo be on the field?

Do you want Gu Qing to watch Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo's "Double Sword Combination"?

Hero Lord does not allow such things to happen.

Xiaolongnu was astonished when she heard this, and Li Mochou was speechless.

"Today is a matter between me and Junior Sister."

Li Mochou once again narrowed the scope, setting it between Xiaolongnu and herself, completely excluding Gu Qing, and said: "Lu Wushuang is my disciple, and Junior Sister is the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect. What should be done with Lu Wushuang should be decided by me and Junior Sister."

Some time ago, Li Mochou was defeated by the "Double Sword Combination" of Gu Qing and Xiaolongnu. Watching the affectionate appearance of Gu Qing and Xiaolongnu using swords made Li Mochou feel very hurt. While closing the door to heal her emotional wounds, Li Mochou thought about it and felt that the fault lay with Lu Zhanyuan.

This made Li Li Mochou have the idea of catching Lu Lu Wushuang again. Usually, when she was unhappy, she would always take Lu Lu Wushuang for a torture, and then her thoughts would be smooth.

Gu Qing looked at Xiaolongnu. Yang Guo was also banned, so Gu Qing could not go on the field.

But in terms of strength, their side was not as good as Li Li Mochou.

Xiaolongnu nodded and agreed to Li Mochou's duel.

"This is not fair."

Gu Qing hurriedly said: "Your age is older than Xiaolongnu's, and your internal energy is deeper than Xiaolongnu's. However, since you have set the rules tonight, why not give us a few days to prepare? When we are ready, we will have a match."

Li Mochou's age was older, and her internal energy was naturally much deeper than Xiaolongnu's. When Xiaolongnu did not know "Left-Right Mutual Combat," she could not be Li Mochou's opponent.

It was a pity that Gu Qing did not have time to communicate about "Left-Right Mutual Combat" during the night he slept with Guo Jing.

"A few days?"

Li Li Mochou sneered and said: "Do I need to prepare carriages and horses for you, let Lu Lu Wushuang travel all over the world, and then come to die?"

"You want to delay, I can give you a delay. Tomorrow at noon, I will come to teach Junior Sister's high moves."

Li Mochou, after banning Gu Qing, looked at Xiaolongnu, feeling that this was a harmless little white rabbit. Teaching her junior sister was also easy, so she set the time and turned to leave.

Watching Li Mochou go far away, Yang Guo and Lu Wushuang appeared in the building, very worried about Xiaolongnu's duel.

"Miss Long, let's find a quiet room and communicate about martial arts properly."

Gu Qing pulled Xiaolongnu and walked toward the quiet room.

Xiaolongnu was grabbed by this, and she let it be. When she was at the Lu Family Manor, she once used the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture to help Gu Qing verify martial arts, allowing Gu Qing to understand the exquisiteness of the Profound Heaven martial arts. This time, agreeing to fight Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu also had some plans in her heart, but she also needed to verify it.

Yang Guo watched the door of the quiet room close, feeling depressed in his heart. Without knowing it, he had become an outsider.

Now Yang Guo was replaceable, and Gu Qing was indispensable.

"But what can be done in one night?"

Cheng Ying felt very headache and said: "The gap in internal energy between Li Li Mochou and Miss Long cannot be caught up in one night."

Ever since Mei Mei Chaofeng died, the women who had appeared in the Jianghu over the years, besides Huang Rong, were Li Li Mochou. The people in the Jianghu also mostly mentioned Huang Rong and Li Li Mochou in the same breath. Under this stereotypical impression, the pressure brought by Li Li Mochou was even greater.

One night, the gap in internal energy...

Yang Guo heard Cheng Ying's words, turned his face in a daze, looked toward the quiet room, and then slapped his own face fiercely.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Lu Wushuang did not know why and touched Yang Guo's face with heartache.

"It's over!"

Yang Guo was spinning around in a hurry. Originally, Yang Guo was also thinking about what kind of martial arts Gu Qing could teach, but suddenly, Yang Guo thought of the warning Sun Bu'er gave Gu Qing when he went to assassinate Hao Hao Datong that day.

Short time, quick results, the ability to catch up with Li Li Mochou's cultivation in one night...

Yang Guo did not dare to continue thinking.
