Chapter 762: Young Hero

It was hard for Pei Ye to describe his feelings when he heard this sentence. The young girl looked at him earnestly and calmly. This clean face was truly hard to doubt.

Actually, when Pei Ye was lying on the hospital bed, he quite liked looking at such a face from bottom to top.

Because no matter how high the martial arts, once lying on the hospital bed, it was hard to avoid feeling like fish meat on a chopping board. The body was no longer one's own, letting people loosen clothes and belts, knead and rub, knock on bones and touch tendons. People didn't treat you as a living creature with consciousness, and you tried your best to treat yourself as a piece of meat without consciousness.

At this time, Pei Ye liked this cold face of Qu Xin, as if looking at him was no different from looking at a piece of wood. Pei Ye was bare-chested in front of her, his two thighs spread out bare. It was originally very uncomfortable, but as soon as he looked up and saw this face, his heart was much calmer.

That look of watching him twist his body like watching a maggot was truly enough to make one feel no psychological burden at all.

But when standing with clothes neatly arranged, Pei Ye was full of vigilance toward this face.

You would never guess what this serious young girl was pondering in her heart—shameless things—of course, she felt it was very normal herself.

"Do you think I am pondering some shameless things in my heart?" Qu Xin looked at him and said.

"No." Pei Ye said.

"We shared adversity and life and death in the Great Ming Palace, you shouldn't always doubt me like this."

Pei Ye was slightly guilty: "Really no—you said doing a good deed, what good deed are you doing?"

Qu Xin said: "Pei Ye, do you know, besides the sword sects, who else came to the garden today?"

Pei Ye thought for a while: "Some Jianghu celebrities, Divine Capital dignitaries?"

"Correct, besides that?"

"Besides that…… what else?"

"There are many people who love the sword path but cannot practice it." Qu Xin said, "They made a lot of efforts to squeeze into this sword banquet, but no one recognizes them, and they can't see those famous swordsmen."

"……"

"They are all young, all with sincere hearts. Many even came secretly, hiding it from their families to grab an invitation. You say, if they come for a trip like this, but can't even talk to a famous swordsman, how unbearable that is." Qu Xin said, "I came for them."

Pei Ye's heart immediately floated with the faces of a group of youths like Kong Lanting and Cui Xiaoyan, their swords not yet practiced well, but full of enthusiasm, simply like himself a few years ago.

"Oh," he understood, "you mean let me go see them?"

Qu Xin nodded: "Correct, you are also very famous in the Divine Capital now, and you have a good heart, you will definitely be willing to chat with them."

He Yaoyao looked at this young girl from the side, thinking blankly that this person's way of speaking was the same as her reciting words……

But young hero Pei did not see through her,

he seemed to have some hidden joy, nodded with a smile: "That's all easy to say, as long as they recognize me."

Qu Xin nodded: "They will definitely recognize you."

Pei Ye smiled.

Since the New Year, for more than two months, Pei Ye had not really set foot in the Divine Capital city.

He knew in his heart that he had made a name for himself in December last year, but he did not truly feel the atmosphere of being surrounded by stars at that time. After the New Year, he was transferred to the palace by Xu Chuo, and since then he had known nothing about the clamor outside.

So at this time, Pei Ye did not have the consciousness of being a celebrity. He was a bit happy and surprised—his sword path reputation could influence some juniors, they admired him in their hearts, but did not dare to show it too much, and he gave a few gentle exhortations, which was truly a gentleman's friendship as light as water.

What a good elegant affair and good deed, just like promoting juniors in the literary world.

He patted the sword at his waist and said: "Then now? You take me over?"

Qu Xin nodded, pointed and said: "Take her with you too."

He Yaoyao was pointed at like this, lowered her head and followed behind Pei Ye.

The garden was scattered at this time, figures and voices surrounded them. Qu Xin did not stop at all, took the two of them all the way south, gradually passing through trees and flowers. When the voices behind them grew weaker, a two-story pavilion covering a wide area appeared in front of them.

Pei Ye seemed to hear some faint female chatter inside, but Qu Xin did not take him in, but bypassed it from afar and brought him to a side room nearby.

Pei Ye looked at the young girl curiously, but the young girl did not stop, opened the door, and pulled him in.

This room was decorated quite interestingly. Sword books were placed on the table, and swords were hung on the wall, truly having an atmosphere…… Qu Xin pulled him to the table and pressed him into a chair.

"……"

"You just sit here and wait, don't leave." Qu Xin said earnestly, "If you meet them all together, everyone might be shy and not dare to tell you their inner thoughts. So I thought about it, let them meet you one by one, so you can chat with each one individually—rest assured, there are not too many people."

Pei Ye was slightly stunned, feeling it was a bit strange, but also made some sense: "That works…… but chat with each one?"

He felt that this chat would be dry.

"Hmm." Qu Xin perfunctorily said, "It's very simple, you just ask each one 'Where did you know me from', 'Which move of my sword do you like best', 'Do you have any wishes' and so on…… ask four or five questions and it will be over. By the way, try to control each one within a quarter of an hour, don't make the time too long, it will affect efficiency."

"……Oh." Pei Ye was dazed.

……What efficiency?

He lowered his head and glanced at the black cat in his hand. The black cat looked at him with pity.

Qu Xin looked him up and down, then actually

reached out to help him tidy up his hair bun, straightened his sleeves and collar, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Then you wait here—oh, you come with me."

She took He Yaoyao's hand and walked out.

With Qu Xin doing the work, Cui Zhaoye was too lazy to go downstairs again, still lying on the terrace, savoring the pool that was already empty.

A pair of eyes narrowed like a cat. In fact, she was also not very willing to find Pei Ye, because the two immortal-like figures on the pool just now were really hot and engraved in her mind. She was now a bit resistant to seeing the real youth, so as not to destroy the two jade postures in her heart.

So when Qu Xin walked up to say something, she didn't take it to heart.

"President Cui, I called Pei Ye and He Yaoyao over, but I think there is a problem." Qu Xin said, "Pei Ye doesn't know about our fan club, let alone that it is already in full swing."

"Hmm."

"Has Pei Ye really drunk flower wine?"

"……No. Why ask this suddenly?" Cui Zhaoye frowned.

Qu Xin said flatly: "Then he definitely won't be able to adapt to being surrounded by a group of women. He shrinks his waist even when I take off his pants."

"……"

Changsun Jue stared and covered her ears.

"Makes sense." Cui Zhaoye nodded.

"In order to avoid him being frightened, becoming angry from embarrassment, and venting his anger on President Cui and Miss Changsun, I thought of a brilliant idea." Qu Xin said.

Changsun Jue was still staring, but put down her hands: "What does it have to do with me?"

Cui Zhaoye said: "Don't interrupt—you say."

"I think, why not change the joint meeting to an individual meeting."

"……" Makes sense, Cui Zhaoye thought.

"This way everyone can see the little male duck, and I will give everyone a few more instructions individually, so it won't frighten it."

Changsun Jue was dazed: "What is a little palace duck?"

"I mean little Pei Ye."

"That's not the same pronunciation at all."

Cui Zhaoye nodded with satisfaction, lazily said: "This method is good, you take everyone there, if this matter is handled well, you will also be a vice president."

Qu Xin said: "Thank you for the grace."

She turned and walked downstairs, twenty-something skirt hems scattered in the hall.

She had He Yaoyao standing behind her, so she tapped the wooden railing lightly, and all eyes looked toward her.

"The matter agreed upon earlier has been accomplished now." Qu Xin faced the bright eyes one by one, like a monarch patrolling her kingdom, "Young hero Pei is already waiting in the room next door. Those who wish to meet, line up quickly, individual meetings, no cover, ten taels of silver for a quarter of an hour, and two questions from true disciple He are attached."

He Yaoyao: "Ah?"

The colorful skirt hems seemed to be falling flowers gathered by the wind, and also like chattering birds, in the blink of an eye, they lined up in a long line with surprised tones.

And they all looked at this Divine Physician Qu, who was exclusively used by young hero Pei, with great admiration: "Divine Physician Qu, you are too amazing!"

"Divine Physician Qu, I like you so much."

"Divine Physician Qu, how is young hero Pei's mood now, he wasn't affected by that old man from Yun Lang, right."

"Divine Physician Qu, Divine Physician Qu……"

Qu Xin spread out her small book on the table, tapped the table, and said flatly:

"Young hero Pei was born in poverty and is short of money. Sometimes he can't even afford decent clothes. Many friends told me earlier that they wanted to donate and sponsor. But young hero Pei is upright and strong, and if you give gold, silver, and property upon first meeting, he will definitely refuse strictly, and might even feel humiliated. So if everyone is truly interested, you can throw it into this basin—He Yaoyao, bring that porcelain basin over—I will transfer it to him later and will definitely persuade him to accept it."

He Yaoyao brought it over blankly.

The girl who was first in line had a pair of affectionate eyes. At this time, her eye sockets were a bit red, and she held a small purse: "Divine Physician Qu, can one person really only donate twenty taels at most? Can I donate fifty taels?"

The second one behind said: "You can't donate that much alone—Divine Physician Qu, besides the twenty taels, can I donate a sword to young hero Pei? It was used by my father when he was young……"

Qu Xin raised her hand: "Don't say any more, one person can only donate twenty taels of silver. But at the same time as the meeting, I will also release a new batch of items related to young hero Pei, everyone can continue to support on this."

"Good!"

"Come on, the first one—is it Nan Yingzhi? Daughter of the Censor-in-Chief, half a quarter of an hour meeting, donate twenty taels. Go." Qu Xin wrote down.

……

Nan Yingzhi walked out of the small building with a face full of spring breeze.

The scenery was infinite, the orioles were singing, but it couldn't move her heart that was beating fast. The moment she walked out the door, the bright white sunlight almost made her a bit dizzy, and only the next moment did she realize it was her own blood rushing up.

Unlike many friends in the fan club who knew how to discuss the sword, she didn't understand Jianghu affairs at all. She was told about Pei Ye's debate on the two-day theory by a friend at the Imperial Academy, and then she joined out of curiosity, sinking deeper and deeper.

Standing here today, it was simply like opening a new world. In just an hour, she changed her object of admiration countless times, watching those thousands of dazzling sword lights, and almost forgot young hero Pei in her heart.

But later, young hero Pei went down to the pool.

Thousands of white light sword shadows in her heart were all annihilated by that smiling figure on the pool.

Nan Yingzhi truly felt that coming to the Tianshan Sword Banquet was the most important decision she had ever made in her life. Only after seeing this wonderful world did she know how powerful and upright young hero Pei really was.

What was even more surprising was that there was such a master as Divine Physician Qu in the fan club

?? who was the exclusive physician for young hero Pei, not to mention bringing everyone so many items and news about young hero Pei, today she even invited young hero Pei to meet.

Only ten taels of silver!

Truly a physician with a benevolent heart.

That side room was right in front of her. Nan Yingzhi remembered that she was the first person to meet young hero Pei, and her heart beat even faster. Young hero Pei must be meeting everyone for the first time, right? I wonder what he looks like up close, and when he speaks…… does he also look as chivalrous as he did on the pool……

Pei Ye sat in the quiet side room.

He flipped through the sword book in front of him. The content was very inexplicable, mostly introductory textbooks and introductory sword theories, and there were no pen and ink beside him.

He looked at the swords hanging on the wall again. Many had no collection value, and hadn't been used recently. They seemed to have been moved from the warehouse, and were newly hung up.

He frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything, so he sat back at the table. The black cat's clear emerald pupils looked at him.

"What are you looking at."

"Looking at a fool."

Nan Yingzhi stood at the door, took a few deep breaths, and then carefully checked her clothes again. Then "creaked" and pushed open the door in front of her.

In an instant, she held her breath. She saw swords hanging all over the hall, various profound sword books filled the bookshelves and tables, truly a style of high and solemn atmosphere. And in the center of all this, the youth was leaning quietly against the table, looking gently at the small black cat on the table.

"Pei, young hero Pei." she said timidly.

Pei Ye was a bit surprised that this was a young girl, and an exquisite and beautiful young girl who hadn't practiced cultivation. But according to Qu Xin's previous instructions, there were indeed some people who admired the sword path but had no way to practice it. Thinking of this, Pei Ye showed a smile, stood up and cupped his fists: "Happy to see you, I am Pei Ye, may I ask the young lady's name?"

"I, I am called Nan Yingzhi." Nan Yingzhi felt her footsteps were light, and subconsciously walked forward, then sat on the chair opposite Pei Ye's desk.

Staring at him fixedly.

This person actually looked almost as nervous as He Yaoyao, Pei Ye thought inexplicably, but smiled on his face: "Miss Nan, hello. Even if you can't practice the sword, it doesn't hinder you from feeling the beauty of the sword path. 'Talks on the Sword in the Washing Sun Pavilion' says that feeling the sword is a common ability of people."

Nan Yingzhi was slightly stunned: "Hmm…… hmm, that's right, I, I felt young hero Pei's sword, it is very beautiful. In my heart, in my heart, I love it to the extreme."

"……Oh, thank you."

"Hmm."

Pei Ye didn't expect the room to be silent for a while. He thought about it and caught a topic: "Miss Nan, why couldn't you practice the sword?"

"Ah…… because I went to study, I am currently studying at the Imperial Academy."

"Oh…… Imperial Academy, I also had the honor to read some books in it, maybe I will go again when I have time later, and then I might have to ask Miss Nan for advice."

Nan Yingzhi opened her eyes wide: "Really?! Really…… can I?"

Pei Ye was slightly stunned, thinking it was a polite remark, what is true or not, paused: "If we can meet, I might have to trouble Miss Nan."

"……" Nan Yingzhi was like walking on clouds.

The room was silent again for a while. Pei Ye frowned secretly, thinking that if he had the opportunity to ask a sword path senior he admired for advice, he would definitely have endless words, why did this person not speak much, but instead stared at him straight……

But he was always the one who didn't let the conversation go cold. At this time, he didn't know what to say—he really couldn't develop more topics about studying at the Imperial Academy—so he remembered Qu Xin's instructions at the time. Thinking about it, it was simply a universal oil, so he smiled: "Miss Nan, where did you know me from?"

Strange to say, Nan Yingzhi seemed to be comfortable all of a sudden, her eyes lit up, and she talked endlessly: "The first time I heard young hero Pei's name, it was a classmate at the Imperial Academy who told me. Later I went to ask, and met…… then I knew she also admired young hero Pei…… then…… then…… finally I got to know President Cui Zhaoye, and she told me a lot about young hero Pei."

Pei Ye was slightly dazed: "Oh, so you also know Cui Zhaoye."

"……Of course."

"Oh, then, then which move of my sword do you like best?" This question actually made Pei Ye inexplicably ashamed.

Nan Yingzhi's eyes lit up again: "I like the one with wings on its back best, it's that……"

"It's Flying Feather Immortal, that is the intent sword of Shaolong Jade Jade Mountain." Mentioning sword techniques, Pei Ye felt more at ease, and explained the origin of Jade Jade Mountain to her.

"Hmm hmm I know, that is the sect of little President Li!"

"……"

How does she know everything, Pei Ye frowned and thought.

"Then, then do you have any wishes?" Pei Ye asked the last question.

Actually, he felt this question was quite strange. Since everyone was someone who loved the sword but had difficulty practicing it, the biggest wish naturally was to want to learn the sword. But how could he satisfy such a wish himself?

However, since Qu Xin provided it, and the first two questions were performed very well, Pei Ye still humbly adopted it.

And it actually had quite a miraculous effect.

Pei Ye didn't see the disappointment he expected in this young girl's eyes, but saw the light of surprise bursting out from these pupils.

"Can, can I, young hero Pei?"

"……What is impossible."

"Then, young hero Pei," she lowered her head, her cheeks like red apples, "can I…… can I touch you?"

"……" Pei Ye stared: "Ah?" ===== CHAPTER 763 =====

"Then, Young Hero Pei Ye," she said, lowering her head, her cheeks like red apples, "can I... can I touch you?"

"..." Pei Ye was fixed, "Ah?"
