Six black hair draped over her shoulders,
A young girl in snow-white clothes,
Carrying a basket full of yellow chrysanthemums,
Sprinkling them all the way up the stairs,
Spreading these bright chrysanthemums into a carpet on the stairs.
A person stepped on the flowers,
Slowly walking up.
His face was very white,
It was neither pale nor ghastly pale.
But a kind of white jade-like sparkling and lustrous color.
His eyes were not pitch-black, but they were terrifyingly bright,
They were like two cold stars.
He wore a sandalwood crown on his pitch-black hair,
The clothes on his body were as white as snow.
He walked very slowly. When he walked up, he was like a king walking into his palace,
Or like a flying immortal in the sky,
Descending to the human world.
Lu Xiaofeng stammered, "Ye Gucheng!"
Ye Gucheng, who was walking on the carpet downstairs, did not look at Lu Xiaofeng. His pair of cold star-like eyes stared unblinkingly at Xie Lige on the second floor.
Xie Lige also looked back at him.
Ye Gucheng said, "You really came."
Xie Lige smiled. "Since I received the invitation, I naturally came."
Ye Gucheng nodded,
Suddenly seeming to remember something, he said softly to the people around him on the first floor, "Who is Tang Tianrong?"
When he said this, his gaze was already fixed on the young man who was drinking in the corner.
That person was drinking. When he heard this,
His face instantly twisted.
He had been sitting there,
His presence was pitifully low,
Lu Xiaofeng even ignored this person a few times. This person's clothes were very gorgeous, his face was handsome, and his eyes revealed the deathly stillness of someone who had killed countless people.
"That's me!" Tang Tianrong stared at Ye Gucheng and said word by word.
Ye Gucheng did not speak. Suddenly, he moved.
The sword light flew up!
No one could describe the brilliance and glory of this sword, and no one could describe the speed of this sword. It was no longer a sword, but the fury of the Thunder God, a lightning strike.
The sword light flashed and disappeared.
Tang Tianrong still maintained that look, his expression was filled with disbelief. He was still standing there, but he was already dead.
The crowd downstairs watched as the blood slowly flowed out of his body. Then, his eyes became redder and redder, as if they were about to bleed. Tang Tian Rong finally collapsed.
"You're not hurt?" Lu Xiaofeng hopped to Ye Gucheng's side and checked him up and down.
Ye Gucheng said, "Of course!"
His gaze was fixed on Xie Lige. After a while, he nodded gently and turned to leave the restaurant.
The chatter in the restaurant grew louder after he left, but not by much. Everyone knew that even though the Sword Immortal was gone, the Pen Devil was still in the restaurant.
Everyone looked in awe at the sinister man upstairs.
But this crowd did not include Lu Xiaofeng. He stood next to Xie Lige and whispered a few words. Xie Lige glanced at him. To the side, Hua Manlou's eyes were covered by a black cloth. When he heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, he seemed somewhat surprised. He didn't seem to understand why Lu Xiaofeng would make such a request.
Xie Lige nodded. He led Hua Manlou and followed Lu Xiaofeng out of the restaurant, leaving behind the crowd of people who had witnessed this scene and were discussing animatedly.
As they walked down the street, Lu Xiaofeng seemed to sigh in relief. He looked around at the dazzling scene, and his expression even seemed somewhat content.
Xie Lige strolled leisurely down the street. His snow-white hair was combed to the back, revealing his sharp eyebrows, causing the hearts of the young women who passed by to tremble.
Along the way, countless young women stared at his face in a daze.
Halfway down the street, Xie Lige suddenly said, "Are you sure you want to use this favor?"
Lu Xiaofeng's gaze was resolute as he said, "Of course."
"I will invite Uncle to attend the Forbidden Summit in the Imperial Palace. If one of them is about to die, I hope you can save that person."
Lu Xiaofeng did not want his good friends to kill each other. He had thought of a lot of ideas, but none of them were useful, because these two swordsmen were the two most powerful people he knew. If anyone else stood in front of him, he would only need one sword strike to kill them, not to mention saving one of them in the middle of a duel.
However, he never gave up and never stopped looking. Just as he was about to give up, he thought of Xie Lige. The scene of the latter teasing Simon Suisue at Wanmei Villa still flashed in his mind. Lu Xiaofeng had an idea in his mind. If it were this man, he would definitely be able to do it.
Xie Lige thought for a while. His gaze lingered on his control skills in the skill section for a while. He said with a smile, "Okay!
I promise you. "
Lu Xiaofeng's anxious heart immediately relaxed.
He cupped his fist and said, "Thank you."
Xie Lige waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
By the time they finished talking, they had already arrived at their usual residence. Lu Xiaofeng didn't go in. He smiled and waved at the two people behind him and continued to walk forward.
"Uncle and Qi Tong go in first. I have other things to do."
After he finished speaking, he was already ten meters away.
Xie Lige silently looked at Lu Xiaofeng's back with a thoughtful expression. That direction seemed to be in the direction of the Imperial City. When he entered the Imperial City, he had observed the terrain. Xie Lige was sure that it must be in the direction of the Imperial City.
As for why Lu Xiaofeng wanted to go to the Imperial City.
Xie Lige didn't intend to continue to investigate. He immediately put this matter aside and looked at Hua Manlou behind him. The elegant young master was holding a fluffy fat squirrel in his arms and following behind him with a smile.
His son was still the most worrisome.
Xie Lige couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. If it were Lu Xiaofeng, he would probably have a headache.
Xie Lige touched his chin and walked up the steps. He turned his head and said to Hua Manlou behind him, "Let's go."
Hua Manlou followed behind him.
The inn was the largest in the capital. The rooms were naturally the best. As the youngest son of the Jiangnan Hua Family, Hua Manlou naturally didn't lack money. Xie Lige also didn't lack money because he had the System.
The two of them weren't willing to treat themselves unfairly.
Of course, Hua Manlou had once suggested that Xie Lige live in the Hua Family's villa in the capital. Unfortunately, Xie Lige refused.
"Your family doesn't need to get involved." These were Xie Lige's exact words.
Hua Manlou's expression was helpless. He said, "Godfather, the Hua Family still has some face in the jianghu."
In this world, there was no one who didn't like money. At least, the majority of people liked it very much. Money could make even ghosts turn millstones. The one thing the Hua Family didn't lack was money.
Hearing this, Xie Lige snorted coldly. "Have you forgotten how your father's so-called good friend caused you to lose your sight?"
Although he killed that red-named person as soon as he woke up, a few years later, he found another person who looked exactly like that person. Although the person's face was disguised, the red-named person was still a red-named person.
Xie Lige took care of him in one move.
When the shocked crowd saw Xie Lige pull open that person's face, they were suddenly speechless.
This person looked exactly like the Iron Shoe Bandit. Even an idiot would know that they had a close relationship.
At that time, Hua Ru Ling was terrified. He was afraid that his beloved son would suffer the same tragedy as when he was young. So far, he didn't have any objections to Xie Lige's suggestions. He would obediently follow them.
Hua Manlou sighed and didn't continue to argue with Xie Lige. He knew that if he continued, his adoptive father would definitely be angry. Although he didn't want to vent his anger on him, he would definitely vent it on his older brother.
Hua Manlou was indeed the child that Xie Lige had raised since he was young. It could be said that he understood his godfather very well.
He also understood his older brothers very well.
That night, Hua Manlou's second brother, who was a fourth-ranked official, hurried to the inn. He was smart enough to know that his adoptive father didn't want them to be involved in jianghu matters, so he sneaked in.
Luckily, most of the people in the inn were from jianghu and didn't know much about the officials in the imperial court. This gave him an opportunity.
Xie Lige was meditating in his room. He could see the starry sky through the window. He was silently discussing with the System how he should mediate when Simon Suisue and Ye Gucheng finished their fight.
"System, I only need to wait for Qi Tong's eyes to heal before I can leave, right?"
[Beep!
Yes.]
Xie Lige continued, "Then if I participate in the fight between the two peerless swordsmen, will something bad happen?"
The System beeped again and said, [The host's question contains too many uncertainties. There is no uniform answer.
]
Xie Lige wasn't satisfied with this answer. He was about to ask more questions when there was a knock on his door. He raised his eyebrows. Who would be looking for him at this time?
He turned his head and looked at Tanshu, who was spread out on the quilt. The fat squirrel saw the look in his master's eyes and immediately understood. He hugged Tanshu with his two little paws and shook it up and down. Then, he fell to the ground and rolled into a ball of fur. After a few fiddles, he reached the door.
Xie Lige saw this scene and frowned. Recently, his little pet had been eating too much from time to time.
He thought about how he had been staying at Hua Manlou's place for the past few months. Tanshu was almost always in the latter's arms. From time to time, he would be given all kinds of snacks and nuts. However, he didn't see Tanshu on the ground much.
It was no wonder that Tanshu had become so fat.
The door was opened from the outside.
The person standing outside was a young man who resembled Hua Manlou. He was wearing a green robe commonly used by students. Compared to Hua Manlou, he looked more elegant. Behind him was a woman in a pale yellow dress. The two of them, one surprised and one excited, looked at Tanshu, who had opened the door.
"Tanshu!" Hua Rutai immediately squatted down and hugged the fat squirrel, who was about to run to his master's side.
The fat squirrel's legs were short, so its speed was naturally slower than the bear child who had been chasing it since it was a child. It could only watch helplessly as its escape route was blocked by a handsome smiling face.
