Chapter 13: Mei Qinghe

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

Li Miao said indifferently.

The masked woman didn't dare to move a finger at this time, cold sweat dripping from her face.

She secretly complained, how could her luck be so bad, to be targeted by such a master for no reason.

She only stabbed Li Miao once, and her foundation was broken.

This is not a problem of sword moves. She was turning around and stabbing in a hurry in mid-air, 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 know a sect's Wu Gong to this extent, either there is a relationship, or there is hatred. But if there is a relationship, why would he threaten her?

If there is hatred, she has become a lamb to be slaughtered now.

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 it doesn't hurt my life and doesn't violate the Jianghu morality, I will do it."

"But if you are planning to be unfavorable to my sect—"

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

She didn't say nonsense like "Huashan Sword Sect won't 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 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 had been broken since she was a child and was taken in by the Huashan Sword Sect. After ten years of diligent practice, she finally achieved success in Wu Gong and went down the mountain to take revenge.

In terms of Jianghu experience, she really doesn't have much. But in terms of temperament, she is definitely not a greedy person who betrays the sect to survive.

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

Li Miao looked at her, looked at her trembling hand for a long time.

"What is your name?" Li Miao asked.

"Huashan Sword Sect authentic, 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 gripped the sword handle tightly.

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

Bang~

Broke off a section. Mei Qinghe trembled.

Li Miao raised his hand.

Mei Qinghe closed her eyes in despair.

In this life, the great hatred has not been reported, and it is about to end inexplicably.

Fortunately, she didn't lose the name of the sect, which can be considered dying in the right place.

After waiting for a while, there was no sound of wind breaking, and there was no pain on her body.

I heard from the master that if you are suddenly seriously injured, you won't feel pain for a short time, and you will only feel colder and colder as the blood flows out.

When you feel your eyelids start to cool, you are about to die.

Has that person already acted, and her body just hasn't reacted yet, but a hole has actually been broken by the fragments on her body?

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

"Ha, hahaha, hahahaha."

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, tough bones are fun. Without tough bones, what's the point of this Jianghu."

"The capital is full of old Jianghu people who are afraid of death, and this road is getting more and more boring, only tonight can be considered a bit interesting!"

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

Li Miao walked over with a smile and grabbed Mei Qinghe's wrist.

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

Immediately, she felt an extremely pure and huge true energy pouring into her body along her pulse, and the injured palm lost its pain instantly.

"Alright," Li Miao let go.

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

Using internal energy to nourish, with the physique of a person practicing martial arts, it would grow back in about seven or eight days.

"Senior... Senior..."

Mei Qinghe was confused by Li Miao.

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

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

"Don't rush, 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 Taishan 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 even an 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 Taishan Sect leader 'Zhenyue Sword' Zuo Lishan is amazingly talented, reaching the level of a peak expert before the age of 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.

"However, since there is integration, there is top and bottom. To be clenched into a fist, there must be a thumb pressed on top, and an index finger pressed below."

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

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

It was the Huashan Sect deacon, "Clear Wind Sword" Gu Jiao, whom he told to "get out."

Being insulted by Li Miao to his face, he ran away gray-faced without saying a word.

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, looking at the map, I know that in the westernmost two provinces of Great Shuo, one is Yunnan in the southwest, and the other is Shaanxi where your Huashan Sect is located."

"The other four sects, the Taishan Sect is in Qi and Lu, the Hengshan Sect is in Shanxi, the Songshan Sect is in Henan, and the Hengshan Sect is in Hunan."

"If the Five Mountains Sword Sect wants to integrate, someone must be pressed to the bottom. 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, when 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 on the frontier, with few people, and has to run all the way to the land of Qi and Lu 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 the most disadvantaged sect in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, I'm afraid there is no other choice besides you."

Mei Qinghe was speechless.

Because what Li Miao said is all facts, it's just that he turned the interests covered under the so-called Jianghu righteousness and explained them clearly.

The three sects of Songshan, Hengshan, and Taishan are close in region, among which the Taishan 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 has a say in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

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

Every day is getting worse, and it has less and less say in the Five Mountains Sword Sect meeting.

If it continues to maintain the current situation, after a few more meetings, it will completely become a lackey in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
