Beside the window, a light veil fluttered!
The woman gently opened her cherry lips. "It's been a long time, Handsome Chu!"
Her voice was beautiful, as smooth as satin.
When Chu Liuxiang heard the familiar voice, his heart sank, but his expression did not change. He cupped his hands and said, "Madam Shi, I've brought the people you wanted. May I know if you can return my sisters?"
Nangong Ling and No Flower did not enter the boat. Instead, they leaned against the bottom of the boat to eavesdrop. When they heard Chu Liuxiang's words, they looked at each other. Nangong Ling pursed his lips and jumped into the boat through the window beside the woman in white. No Flower followed closely behind. When the two landed, Nangong Ling questioned, "Chu, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose. His purpose for coming here was to exchange Nangong Ling and No Flower for Su Rongrong and the other two. It was not that he had to do this, but when he saw that the three of them had already entered the boat, and the two of them were leaning against the top of the boat to eavesdrop, he could not help but tease them.
Nangong Ling was not as shrewd as he was in the future. He was much more lively, and his face was full of childishness.
Chu Liuxiang felt a little helpless. Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly heard a bell-like laughter. The crisp and elegant voice made the hearts of the men present flutter. Chu Liuxiang was still thinking about his confidantes, but Hu Tiehua was a little strange. His tanned face was even flushed, and his expression was a little strange. His gaze was slightly averted. Chu Liuxiang was quite handsome.
"Xiang Shuai is indeed in a good mood. You are still in the mood to joke at this time. Since you are so sincere, this concubine can let you check the goods first!" Shi Guanyin clapped her hands and said, "Bring it up."
The boat's door opened, and a few women in white brought Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Su Tian 'er into the boat. They all said in a low voice, "Greetings, Madam."
The three women's hands were tied, but they did not show any fear. Even the most timid Su Tian 'er was calm and composed, let alone the other two.
Their cold expressions cracked when they passed by Chu Liuxiang. Their gazes revealed a strange look, but they quickly hid it and returned to their calm and indifferent expressions.
Shi Guanyin smiled and said, "Handsome's sisters are all great beauties. Even I can't help but feel relaxed and happy when I see them."
After she finished speaking, she gently lifted Su Tian 'er's beautiful face, which was glaring angrily at her. When Chu Liuxiang saw this, he immediately became nervous. He was afraid that she would disfigure Su Tian' er's face with her slender and sharp nails.
However, Shi Guanyin did not take any further action. She quickly retracted her fingers and sat on the couch with her back straight. She looked at Nangong Ling and No Flower, who were standing to the side. She paused and suddenly laughed. "I didn't know that the two of you had improved so much in your martial arts."
Even though she said that …
She had already met No Flower, so her gaze was fixed on Nangong Ling. The pressure was so great that the latter could not help but groan.
Shi Guanyin calmly retracted her gaze and looked at Chu Liuxiang. "I want one more thing."
Chu Liuxiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you going back on your word, Madam?"
Shi Guanyin smiled. "I'm not a man. You can take the three girls with you, but this time, you have to pay for your lives."
Chu Liuxiang sighed and pondered for a moment. He did not say whether he agreed or not. He just asked Shi Guanyin to tell him what she wanted.
When he asked this question, Hu Tiehua jumped out and said angrily, "Old bug, don't believe that woman. She might go back on her word again."
Ji Bingyan did not say anything. However, his defensive actions showed that he agreed with Hu Tiehua.
Chu Liuxiang raised his head. "What do you want?"
Shi Guanyin said slowly, "The Star of Bliss."
Chu Liuxiang could not help but frown. "Madam's wealth is comparable to that of a country. Why do you care about a mere gem?"
Although the desert here was dangerous, there was also a lot of gold and silver. Shi Guanyin had been in the desert for so many years. It would be an injustice to say that she was as rich as a country.
Shi Guanyin said indifferently, "Xiang Shuai, you don't have to test me. I won't say anything. Even if your appearance makes me want to leave you in the depths of the desert."
Chu Liuxiang, whose thoughts had been seen through, rubbed his nose and stood there.
"Madam, someone is chasing the boat!" Outside the door, the red-clothed boy who was steering the boat reported with his head bowed. His tone was very respectful.
Shi Guanyin's face darkened. "What?"
"Chase them down!"
Whoosh!
An eagle's cry flashed in the air, followed by the sound of flapping wings and fluffy feathers flying everywhere.
"No need to trouble yourself. I'm already here."
A deep voice came from the bow of the boat. Then, the bead curtain at the door was pulled open by a pair of strong hands.
Everyone present had different expressions when they heard the voice. Nangong Ling's expression was gloomy at first, but after hearing the voice, it gradually turned into joy.
No Flower's first reaction was to take a deep look at Shi Guanyin, whose body had suddenly stiffened after hearing the voice. He lowered his head, and his eyes were gentle. He put his palms together and chanted a Buddhist prayer.
Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua did not know who Xie Lige was. They were also confused when they heard the voice.
Chu Liuxiang knew that Xie Lige had followed them here because he had captured her disciple's grand-disciple. He rubbed his nose guiltily. His gaze was erratic. He looked at the sky and the ground, but not at the door.
The sound of footsteps slowly approached. Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan looked at each other and guessed the identity of the person outside the door.
The person came in.
Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan were stunned when they saw the person at first glance.
If Shi Guanyin was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen, then he was the most handsome man they had ever seen.
Appearance was for women.
Power was for men.
Yellow sand filled the sky. Lone smoke in the desert.
The handsome man with long sleeves and a cloak walked towards them step by step. The eagle with its head raised and its wings spread and flew high. It was a lonely scene, but it made people feel that he should be so domineering.
The room fell into silence for a moment.
The man walked step by step from the desolate desert into the boat with an unstoppable momentum, suppressing everyone.
Ji Bingyan came back to his senses and could not help but sigh in his heart. He finally knew why Chu Liuxiang, such a big playboy, was so respectful when talking about the man. The pirate dared to touch the tiger's butt, but he certainly did not dare to step on the bottom line of such a person.
Nangong Ling's eyes widened. Countless words slipped through his mind, but in the end, he could not say anything. He only felt that the scene of his ancestor coming out was too shocking.
As soon as Xie Lige entered the door, his gaze swept over Shi Guanyin first. The latter turned her head slightly to avoid his gaze, and her body slightly stiffened.
Xie Lige raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. His gaze shifted to Chu Liuxiang, who was embarrassed, and he laughed. "Xiang Shuai, you sure made it easy for me to find you."
"Senior, you must be joking. Sorry for offending you, but I really had no choice."
Ever since he knew the identity of this ancestor, Chu Liuxiang did not dare to casually joke around. This was a powerful person who dared to take a stick and beat up all the major sects decades ago. He was a powerful person who had forcefully pressed the sect leaders to the ground and rubbed them against the ground. He had even lost all face, and those leading figures did not dare to find trouble with him.
"I'm not blaming you. What's the hurry?" Xie Lige raised his eyebrows.
Chu Liuxiang was momentarily at a loss for words.
This was not playing by the rules.
His predicament was distressing.
However, No Flower, who was sitting beside him, did not pay attention to his friend's situation. His gaze shifted to Shi Guanyin, who was lowering her head. He did not know if it was his misconception, but ever since this Great Elder of A gang of beggars came on board, his mother's reckless behavior seemed to have become much more restrained. Her sitting posture was also not as aggressive as before.
For example, let's say a cruel and ruthless she-wolf tried to disguise herself as a harmless lamb, but in the end, she scared the frog to death. Yes, No Flower was that frog.
Xie Lige sat on the chair next to him. His expression was unfathomable. "Instead, I should thank you for helping me find my long-lost sister."
Sister?
After hearing Xie Lige's words, Chu Liuxiang was also confused. When did he help to find his sister?
Suddenly, he remembered that the person in front of him was the eldest son of Huangshan Sword School, Xie Lige. Li Tong Li, the eldest son's name was indeed Li Ge. Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang could not help but look at Shi Guanyin, who was lying on the couch. The latter's current state was also very unusual.
If he remembered correctly, Shi Guanyin's name before she was married was Li Qi. There were also rumors in Jianghu that this Shi Guanyin was once the eldest daughter of the once famous Huangshan Sword School. Because of her luck, she managed to escape death.
"Big brother, you're back!" Shi Guanyin's voice was trembling.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. They were all thrown off their feet by this shocking news.
"Oh my god, old stinking bug, you're really in big trouble this time."
After hearing this news, Hu Tiehua was so scared that he jumped up. They were really courting death by getting involved in this secret.
Everyone knew about the glory of Huangshan Sword School in the past. There were ten talents in the world, and Huangshan was the top five. Its status was much higher than that of the current Kunlun Sect. But it was exterminated overnight. Everyone knew that there must be something fishy going on.
