Chapter 13: Mei Qinghe

"Be honest, I have something to find you for."

Li Miao said indifferently.

The masked woman didn't dare move a finger at this moment, cold sweat falling on her face.

She secretly complained, how could her luck be so bad, letting such an expert stare at her for no reason.

She only stabbed Li Miao with one sword, and her foundation was broken.

This is not a problem of sword moves. She was turning around and stabbing in mid-air in a hurry, what kind of rules were there?

This person must be clear about the strength and true energy operation trajectory of the Huashan sword art, to be able to see her sect from that simple sword.

To be clear about a sect's Wu Gong to this extent, it's not a relative, it's an enemy. But if it's a relative, how could he speak to threaten her?

If it's an enemy, she has become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, the masked woman hardened her heart: "It's my skill that is not as good as others. If you have something for me to do, as long as you don't hurt my life, don't violate the Jianghu morality, I will follow."

"But if you are prepared to be unfavorable to my master—"

She swallowed, her expression determined: "Senior, don't look down on me! I will never do anything to betray my master!"

She didn't say nonsense like "Huashan Sword Sect will not let you go," and bent down to pick up the long sword that was only half left.

Li Miao's move directly cracked her palm, and at this moment, her hand was full of oozing bruises and torn skin.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, and the hand holding the sword handle was painfully drilling. But she still barely set up a posture, staring at Li Miao.

She was orphaned since she was a child and was taken in by the Huashan Sword Sect. Ten years of diligent practice, how many times she practiced until she was exhausted and fainted, finally achieved success, and went down the mountain to take revenge.

As for Jianghu experience, she really doesn't have much. But as for temperament, she is definitely not a greedy person who betrayed her master for survival.

Even if she died today, she would die holding the sword, and would not lose the name of the Huashan Sword Sect!

Li Miao looked at her, carefully examining her trembling hands for a long time.

"What is your name?" Li Miao asked.

"Huashan Sword Sect direct lineage, Mei Qinghe!"

"Oh, Miss Mei, Heroine Mei. Not afraid of death?"

"Not afraid."

"Really not afraid?"

Mei Qinghe pursed her lips and didn't answer, just tightened her grip on the sword handle.

Li Miao raised his hand unhurriedly and pinched the sword body of the short sword.

Snap~

Broke off a section. Mei Qinghe trembled.

Li Miao raised his hand.

Mei Qinghe closed her eyes in despair.

This life, the great revenge has not been reported, and it is about to end inexplicably.

Fortunately, she didn't lose the master's name, so it can be considered a worthy death.

After waiting for a while, neither heard the wind-breaking sound, nor felt pain on her body.

Heard from the master, suddenly suffered a serious injury, and couldn't feel pain for a short time, only as the blood flowed out, feeling colder and colder.

When the eyelids start to feel cold, it's about to die.

Has that person already made a move, and her body hasn't reacted yet, but in fact, a mouth has already been broken on her body by fragments?

Mei Qinghe's brain was full of thoughts, and suddenly heard Li Miao laughing.

"Ha, haha, hahaha."

She opened her eyes and saw Li Miao had already thrown the short sword and was looking at her with a light laugh.

"That's right, that's right."

"Sure enough, hard bones are fun. Without hard bones, what's the point of this Jianghu."

"There are only fearful old Jianghu people in the capital, and this road is getting more and more boring. Only tonight can be considered a bit interesting!"

"If there are more people like you in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, it won't be in vain for me to take a walk."

Li Miao laughed and walked over, grabbing Mei Qinghe's wrist.

Mei Qinghe instinctively wanted to break free, but Li Miao just shook his hand and unloaded all the energy in her body.

Immediately, she felt an extremely pure and vast true energy pouring into her body along her pulse gate, and the painful palm suddenly lost its pain.

"Alright." Li Miao let go.

Mei Qinghe turned her palm, the palm that was originally full of bruises was clean, leaving only some skin injuries.

Nourished by internal energy, with the physique of a martial artist, it would grow back in about seven or eight days.

"Senior... Senior"

Mei Qinghe was confused by Li Miao.

Who exactly is this person, what does he want to do?

"I do have something to do with the Five Mountains Sword Sect." Li Miao said.

"Don't worry, listen to me finish."

He raised his hand to stop Mei Qinghe's movement and continued.

"The Five Mountains Sword Sect is an alliance formed by the Mount Tai Sect, Hengshan Sect, Huashan Sect, Songshan Sect, and Hengshan Sect to rescue each other."

"Counting back a few decades, it was just a loose alliance, not talking about any organization. Even the name Five Mountains Sword Sect was rarely mentioned in the Jianghu."

"It's just that in recent years, your five families have been getting closer and closer, plus the Mount Tai Sect leader 'Zhen Yue Sword' Zuo Lishan is stunningly talented, reaching the level of a supreme expert before forty, and as the leader, he faintly has the spirit of leading the Five Mountains, so there is the saying of 'Five Mountains Sword Sect'."

"Am I right?" Li Miao said.

Mei Qinghe nodded silently.

"But, since you want to integrate, there is top and bottom. To be clenched into a fist, there must be a thumb pressed on the top, and an index finger pressed on the bottom."

"The Five Mountains Sword Sect is flourishing in the Jianghu, but your Huashan Sect has actually not been doing well in recent years."

Li Miao went to catch Yan Xiaosheng that day, and actually saw people from the Huashan Sect.

It was the Huashan Sect deacon who was told "get out" by him, "Clear Wind Sword" Gu Jiao.

Being insulted by Li Miao to his face, he didn't say a word and fled in a gray-faced manner.

This is not only because of Gu Jiao's own personality, but also because the Huashan Sect has indeed been in a bad situation in recent years and cannot afford the consequences of being at odds with the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Actually, just looking at the map, the two provinces in the west of my Dashuo territory, one is Yunnan in the southwest, and the other is Shaanxi where your Huashan Sect is located."

"The other four sects, Mount Tai Sect is in Qilu, Hengshan Sect is in Shanxi, Songshan Sect is in Henan, Hengshan Sect is in Hunan."

"The Five Mountains Sword Sect wants to integrate, so someone has to be pressed underneath. In terms of distance, it is actually the Hengshan Sect that is the farthest."

"But who let the Jiangnan fish and rice village be rich and oily?"

Li Miao talked eloquently.

"In recent years, the Five Mountains Sword Sect has something to do, the Hengshan Sect pays money, and your four sects send people. The Huashan Sect is located in the frontier, with few people, and has to run all the way to Qilu to meet, and run to various places to settle things."

"The mountains are high and the road is far, there are fewer and fewer people, and the strength is getting weaker and weaker. If you want to find a sect in the Five Mountains Sword Sect that is the most disadvantaged, I am afraid that besides you, there is no other choice, right?"

Mei Qinghe was silent.

Because what Li Miao said are all facts, just turning over the interests covered under the so-called Jianghu righteousness and explaining them more clearly.

The Songshan, Hengshan, and Mount Tai sects are geographically close, among which the Mount Tai Sect is the leader, and the desire to integrate the Five Mountains Sword Sect is the strongest.

The Hengshan Sect is rich and powerful, only paying money and not sending people, so its strength is well preserved and it can speak in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Only their Huashan Sect, in terms of distance, is the farthest, in terms of strength, is the worst, and in terms of financial resources, is the weakest.

Every day is worse than the day before, and it is becoming less and less able to speak in the Five Mountains Sword Sect meeting.

If it continues to maintain the current situation, after a few more meetings, it will be completely reduced to a petty thief in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
