Chapter 417

【Su Yun's face was cautious, "Young Master Guan, please think twice?"】

【Song Tingting, who was playing the zither, persuaded gently: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Young Master Guan is learned and talented, don't be impulsive."】

【Cai Huang's eyes flickered, thinking of the strange scene where the two Zhaoming Luans stood affectionately on the young man's shoulder just now. That pair of divine birds are spiritual and not afraid of water or fire. If it weren't for a truly spiritual person, how could they be favored by them? It's just... she looked at the young man's thin back, and couldn't help but have curiosity in her heart.】

【It's just that the Zhaoming Luan came and went just now, I don't know why?】

【Xie Yuan had a worried look on his face, but he knew your character and never did this kind of emotional dispute.】

【He Lan Zhenshu also reminded, "Young Master Guan, if you take back these words now, I will pretend I didn't hear them."】

【"Pei Feng, although he is a waste, he has lives under his sword."】

【He sneered coldly, "You young master raised in a deep boudoir, I'm afraid you haven't even seen blood, right?"】

【Liu Yuan laughed, "Why does Young Master Guan have to be angry? There are a few good Sui horses in the mansion, just treat it as an apology to the young master, how about it?"】

【You just said, "Thank you Crown Prince for your kindness, but life is short, even if you read all the sage books, you finally seek a—"】

【"Mind is clear!"】

【After hearing this, Xie Yuan knew he couldn't persuade you, just said, "Brother Guan, be careful!"】

【"No problem!"】

【Liu Yuan frowned slightly and didn't speak.】

【He Lan Zhenshu had cold light in his eyes, "Since Young Master Guan insists on competing, Pei Feng, you also show your skills, don't lose the face of the Crown Prince."】

【"Also, the competition is a small matter, don't really hurt Young Master Guan, otherwise I will ask you."】

【This sentence was said with cold air.】

【He Lan Zhenshu targeted Xie Guan like this today, and even set up a killing game in the banquet, ordering Pei Feng to assassinate him in the name of dancing with swords—】

【The map is finished and the dagger is revealed!】

【He and Xie Guan had no grievances, but the Xie family among the nine major surnames wanted the life of this concubine son.】

【If Xie Guan had the Xie family behind him, he might still have some scruples. But now that the Xie family has acquiesced, a mere concubine son who is not favored, killed is killed—】

【It can sell the Xie family a favor, and now it is the critical moment for him to return to Changsheng Heaven as a hostage, and the attitude of the Qi court is blurred.】

【The support of a nine major surname is undoubtedly important.】

【I thought this opportunity delivered to the door was missed, but now this Xie Guan is seeking death, and it is so grand, it is also stupid like a pig.】

【Pei Feng sneered and took the order. He slowly straightened his body, his thumb wiped the blood from his lips, pulling a scarlet line at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were full of murderous intent—he understood the master's meaning too well.】

【Today in the school field, Xie Guan must die here.】

【Xie Guan, this is the dead end you sought yourself!】

【Su Yun turned his head calmly and whispered to the three sword-holding guards in front of him. The black-clad man holding the sword nodded silently, his knuckles already pressing on the hilt.】

【Seeing this, Su Yun's heart finally relaxed a little.】

【Everyone in the field retreated tacitly, leaving a square of a few feet on the bluestone ground.】

【The breeze rolled the fallen leaves and circled between the two, and the fish in the lake swam and stirred up ripples.】

【Su Shishi was worried, how could she have expected that today's small gathering would evolve into such a situation.】

【Pei Feng grabbed with five fingers, and the long sword on the ground flew into his palm with a "clang." The sword body was as cold as water, and it was not bent at all after being hit by the arrow, leaving only a white mark on the blade.】

【It is a good sword!】

【He waved a sword flower casually, and the sword sound was harsh.】

【You walked into the field with your hands empty.】

【"You want to catch my sword edge with your bare hands?"】

【Pei Feng narrowed his eyes, and the sword tip trembled slightly. A martial artist of the same realm holding a weapon against bare hands originally had the meaning of suppression, let alone—】

【He looked closely at your figure: your footsteps were floating, not like a practitioner, your knuckles were fair without fist calluses, and there was no innate energy flowing around your body. What kind of martial arts person is this?】

【You scanned the field. If you don't have a sword in your hand, you will have to expose your Primordial Spirit cultivation, otherwise you only have three styles of "Taizu Holy Ape Stake."】

【"Can I borrow a sword!"】

【He Lan Zhenshu hugged his chest and sneered, but didn't have the intention to help.】

【"Young Master Guan, you use a sword but don't bring a sword, what is this!"】

【Xie Yuan was also full of doubts, he had never seen you use a sword, and didn't know when you learned sword skills.】

【Su Yun was about to raise his hand to signal the attendant, when he heard a clear female voice from his side—】

【"There is no sword, but there is a short blade that can be used."】

【After speaking, she took out a gilded small knife about three inches long from the thigh binding of her men's tight clothes. The scabbard was inlaid with jewelry or carved flowers, and the hilt was decorated with tassels.】

【In Above Bianjing, boudoir women wear small knives on their skirt belts, decorated with gold and jade, also called "skirt-pressing knives."】

【You nodded, "Thank you, Miss."】

【She took the knife out of the scabbard and threw it over. You took it backhand, your fingertips touching the blood groove engraved on the blade—the steel-forged blade was cold, clearly a sharp weapon that had drunk blood.】

【"Good knife!" You flicked the blade with your fingers.】

【Li Qinlan then realized that she had borrowed her personal dagger to Xie Guan by mistake, and hurriedly lowered her eyes to cover her mood.】

【Perhaps... it was because she couldn't bear to see this young man being bullied by everyone, and this short blade was indeed sharper than the standard knives and swords of ordinary guards.】

【Pei Feng didn't care, just adjusted the breath just now, so as not to have the situation just now.】

【He Lan Zhenshu said, "Start!"】

【Everyone's heart tightened, watching the two.】

【Before He Lan Zhenshu's words fell, Pei Feng's sword edge had turned into a cold light and took the throat!】

【"Despicable!" Xie Yuan shouted angrily.】

【Li Qinlan was extremely nervous, and under this blow, the outcome could be seen—】

【Is it young spirit, or is the true person not revealing his appearance?】

【In the blink of an eye, the gilded short blade drew a new moon-like arc. "Clang!" Gold and stone hit, sparks flew, and Pei Feng's sure-to-win sword was firmly blocked!】

【"Brother Guan... actually knows sword skills?!"】

【Xie Yuan's eyes widened, and the two figures in the field were already entangled. Between the light of the knife and the shadow of the sword, you saw Xie Guan's wrist turn lightly, and the three-inch short blade was like an arm in his hand, and every block accurately intercepted Pei Feng's killing move.】

【Su Yun's tight shoulders finally relaxed a bit—at least at this moment, Xie Guan would not be humiliated in public.】

【Pei Feng's sword momentum changed suddenly, and the three-foot green blade turned into three long swords in the rapid dance, like a rainstorm pouring down. This is his famous stunt, and now he is exerting all his strength, clearly keeping a heart to kill.】

【Dozens of moves!】

【But strangely—】

【Pei Feng's tiger's mouth was numb, and his heart was shocked. This sword of his was enough to shatter the arm bones of ordinary martial artists and throw a giant cow into the sky, but the young man's right hand holding the blade was motionless!】

【"Interesting..." Liu Yuan tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, a flash of gloom in his eyes.】

【You calmly blocked the sky full of sword shadows, and the gilded short blade spun lightly in your palm. Although the opponent's sword was fast, there was always a gap between every sword light.】

【You suddenly realized. The sword intent of the eighth sword in your heart, when you usually duel with yourself, the sword theory pointed out, is so clear at this moment.】

【Pei Feng's dazzling killing moves looked like a child holding a wooden branch, full of flaws—】

【After all, your martial arts cultivation is on par with him, and your Primordial Spirit realm is far higher than him.】

【The dispute of the sixth realm of martial arts is ultimately confined to the changes of moves. Only by stepping into the upper three realms can there be the mysterious realm of energy interaction and sword intent.】

【Condense sword intent.】

【You have seen the Demon Master and others fight, but Pei Feng's move is a bit childish, still within the moves.】

【He Lan Zhenshu's face was gloomy.】

【Pei Feng's sword rolled again, his right hand turned, and the sword flew out from the left sleeve, the long sword accelerated suddenly and flew to stab.】

【"Flying Sword of a Hundred Steps!"】

【Xie Yuan secretly said it was bad, this is also Pei Feng's famous stunt, which is a killing move, and I don't know how many people in the black market fell under this move.】

【You waved your short blade and used one of the Second Master's Nine Swords that was three points similar.】

【On the skirt-pressing knife, there was a faint clear sound of birds, as if a Luan bird was circling on it, spreading its wings and wanting to fly.】

【This is the seventh sword—Wind Sound, which the Second Master realized when he stepped into the Changsheng Heaven of the grassland and felt the vast wind.】

【"The nine-day Luan bird pierces the clouds, and the ten-thousand-mile long wind listens to the wind sound."】

【This sword is fast, like a Luan bird piercing the clouds, arriving in an instant. And you didn't fully exert its power, just pressed the short blade lightly and threw it out casually.】

【You dodged the flying sword sideways, its speed did not decrease, shooting through the thick willow tree behind you, and half of it was opened.】

【It can be seen that the power is great.】

【Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that you were safe, and then looked back, couldn't help but be shocked.】

【But seeing Pei Feng stagger back three steps, his pupils shrank violently. He stiffly raised his head, and half of the gilded short blade was inserted between his brows. The blade handle was still trembling, and the hot blood line wound down along the bridge of his nose.】

【"Hiss... hiss...", a sound like drowning water came from his throat, and his hands scratched his neck in vain. This fast swordsman famous in the black market was making the wailing of his former opponents: "No, no, I lost!"】

【Before the words fell, the seven orifices suddenly burst into blood.】

【Like a skin bag with its bones removed, he fell to the ground with a bang.】

【You walked forward slowly, you grasped the broken blade and slowly pulled it out from Pei Feng's brows. You wiped the blade on the blood-stained robe casually, and it restored its cold light.】

【In an instant, a wisp of gray-white soul light floated out from the corpse. You hooked your fingertips, and the "Raptor Eating Corpse Method" in the "Yin Fu Jing" operated quietly, and the soul light entered the Lingtai like a swallow returning to its nest. Pei Feng's hard-cultivated Primordial Spirit cultivation became the lamp oil that nourished your divine fire.】

【Although it is not the first time Xie Yuan has seen the scene of death, he is still a bit uncomfortable, and his throat is surging.】

【Several courtesans covered their faces with sleeves, not daring to look directly.】

【On the contrary, Su Shishi's face was calm; this former princess of Sui naturally had seen swords and shadows.】

【He Lan Zhenshu's eyes looked at you for the first time. He didn't care about Pei Feng's death; breaking a sword was nothing.】

【Li Qinlan opened her mouth slightly, and the surprise in her eyes could not be covered—this Xie Guan is less than twenty years old, and he has actually touched the threshold of sword intent! The "Wind Sound" just now, although it was a knife instead of a sword, the sword truth contained in it was clearly in the realm of "intent before the sword."】

【Her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the scabbard. You know that even if she did her best, the outcome is still fifty-fifty.】

【But the Xie family concubine son who was rumored to be bullied, should not have any martial arts cultivation!】

【You walked over, "Thank you, Miss Li, for lending the knife."】

【Su Yun came back to his senses, looking at you with complicated eyes.】

【He found that he still underestimated this Young Master Guan, not only with poetic talent, but also his martial arts cultivation is not weak among the younger generation in Above Bianjing.】

【This Xie Guan is hiding so deep!】

【Su Yun laughed, "Beauty gave me a skirt-pressing knife, how to repay it with Ying Qiongyao."】

【When Li Qinlan took the short blade, she heard this sentence, and the body temperature remaining on the hilt actually made her face hot.】

【Su Yun looked at He Lan Zhenshu, "Crown Prince He Lan, what do you think?"】

【He Lan Zhenshu clapped and laughed, "Technique is not as good as people, it really deserves to die!"】

【Behind him, guards had already dragged Pei Feng away like a dead dog, dragging a dark red blood trail on the ground,】

【He Lan Zhenshu looked at you, his smile "sincere," "Young Master Guan, don't hold a grudge against me."】

【"With Young Master Guan's tolerance, naturally he won't remember this little misunderstanding."】

【You nodded, "Naturally I will!"】

【He Lan Zhenshu's face stiffened, his brows frowned, "Are you really going to go against me?"】

【You said slowly, "A gentleman repays grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue!"】

【He Lan Zhenshu didn't say much, just looked at you coldly and left with people.】

【Seeing this, Liu Yuan shook his head helplessly, saying: "This matter started because of me, but it ended unhappily, I'm really sorry. Young Master Guan, it was originally an elegant matter of chanting poetry, I didn't expect it to be so disappointing."】

【"Tomorrow I will prepare a heavy gift to express my apology."】

【Through the confrontation just now, he had already seen Xie Guan's character.】

【Some people are destined not to be friends.】

【Liu Yuan didn't choose to stop He Lan Zhenshu, actually he had already made a choice.】

【Now Xie Guan is not worth it.】

【Liu Yuan cupped his hands to say goodbye, and Kong Du pushed the wheelchair behind him, leaving together.】

【Su Yun looked at Liu Yuan's distant back and couldn't help but sigh. He admired his talent and respected his character, but forgot that people are in the court and cannot help themselves.】

【It seems that the position is different, and the position is destined to be different.】

【You and Xie Yuan also prepared to say goodbye and leave. The woman in the colorful dress wanted to speak but stopped, and finally didn't say it.】

【Song Tingting stopped you, she lowered her head shyly, holding two things tightly in her hand, and said softly: "The little woman admires the young master's talent, and has nothing else to give, only this 'five-colored pen' and this sachet, wishing the young master to be high in the imperial examination and rise to the top."】

【The five-colored pen implies that the pen can produce flowers in the imperial examination, and can write beautiful articles, while the sachet is often regarded as a token of love. In the brothel, giving a sachet is also a token of a woman's lifelong commitment.】

【Seeing this, Xie Yuan winked at you. This Song Tingting is a courtesan, whether it is her figure or appearance, she is the top among the beauties in Above Bianjing.】

【You just shook your head lightly and declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but Xie Guan has no intention of imperial examination, nor does he have the intention of starting a family and establishing a career."】

【Hearing this, Su Yun couldn't help but be a bit surprised, he didn't expect you to have no intention of imperial examination.】
