C12 Evil Woman
After making this turn, and going forward, it was a downhill road, all the way down, and there was only the rumble of water. The sound of water gradually came into his ears. In front of him was a waterfall that wasn't too high, probably the place where Xiang Soong practiced his swordsmanship.
Under the waterfall, in an open area, a group of swordsmen surrounded a red-clothed girl. The girl was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old and dressed casually. Her dress was light red, and her hands and feet were securely bound. A red rope was tied from the ponytail and hung in a triangle in front of her forehead.
These people were not the only ones under the waterfall. When one shifted their eyes, they could see a middle-aged woman holding a teenage girl's hand. Both of them were looking at the two sides of the conflict with great concern.
There were about a dozen swordsmen surrounding the young lady in red. They constantly turned their bodies as they glared at her like tigers stalking their prey. The young girl, however, calmly stood there with her arms crossed, looking from one to the other.
A big fellow with a face full of stubble spoke out, "Evil woman, this time, you delivered yourself to us. I can see that your anger has run out and that we, the righteous people, will not be able to tolerate a demon like you! Killing her will not only bring glory to our escort, but it will also eliminate the harm to Wu Lin! Humph! If we can catch her alive, we can bring her back to the escort company and have Wu Lin discuss how to deal with her.
As he gave the order, the others swarmed over and surrounded the girl like a swarm of bees.
Qi Tianyun didn't know if the Evil Woman's name was true or not, but he felt that those people in the escort company were like killers. As long as they surrounded him with a proper excuse, they could start a massacre.
However, looking at how they drew their swords, attacked, and attacked in a single breath, it could be seen that they were much more well-trained compared to the other eight.
Seeing that the young girl was about to be chopped into pieces, the young girl and her mother couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned around.
Xiang Soong kept shaking his head. Apparently, he felt that those righteous people were a bit too out of line. Although it could be said that they were all ambitious, they were not always upright. He walked forward and wanted to reconcile them.
Suddenly, an extremely continuous "Dang lang!" sound came from the crowd. With a sound, the swords in everyone's hands fell to the ground at the same time. They hurriedly picked up the swords that had fallen and retreated back in a sorry state.
When the crowd dispersed, Qi Tianyun saw that their left hands were tightly grasping their right wrists. He knew that their wrists had all been cut and blood could be seen. All of them were gritting their teeth in frustration.
"Sigh!" I really want you all to cut off your wrists and commit suicide. " The young girl indifferently said.
Although Qi Tianyun had never seen how she had swung his sword before, he felt that the proficiency of this strike was not below Xiang Soong's.
Xiang Soong witnessed the process of her brandishing her sword. She used a soft Soft Sword that was as thin as a cicada's wing and pulled the sword out from her waist. In an instant, the sword sliced across everyone's wrist, and then, without leaving a trace, he retracted it back to her waist.
The leader of the group held a sword in his left hand and said angrily, "Don't be afraid of her! She was just getting lucky. "
With that, he raised his sword and shouted, "As long as everyone is careful, there is no need to fear her insignificant skill. Attack!"
Thus, they all charged forward with swords in their left hands.
Qi Tianyun also realized that the girl was being lenient. If she had hit them a little bit harder, these people would have really "cut off their wrists and killed themselves". They wouldn't be grateful to her but they wouldn't know that she had already let them go, right?
This time, he didn't hear any clanging sounds, but instead heard a "chi la!" The men's pants fell off at the same time. Of course, it was because their belts were cut.
What a disgrace. A bunch of men dropped their pants in front of a woman and didn't dare to tie it immediately. They picked up a broken belt and retreated a few steps before hastily buttoning it up.
One of them was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was holding a belt that had been cut in half and was trying his best to tie it, but this belt, which was not even half as long as the previous one, did not fit well around his waist. He did not know that his pants were falling down and picking it up again, picking it up and dropping it again, sweating profusely.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong. He raised his head and saw that the young girl was looking at him with interest. Seeing his gloating gaze, she shook her head and sighed, "Sigh! You guys really don't look that good! "
The youth's face suddenly turned red and he hurriedly turned his head away. However, he could not tie this belt up. Just when he was afraid that his ugly appearance would attract jokes again, a compassionate brother threw two broken belts on his shoulders.
"Take it!"
"Thank you!"
He tied the two belts together with the one in his hand. Just as he was about to tie it, he suddenly recalled that what he had said just now seemed to be the words of this young lady!
"Ah!" He quickly turned his head and saw that she was looking at him with a mischievous smile. Did that mean that she had been seen just now? He really wanted to dig a hole into the ground and hide in a rat's nest.
At some point, a sword had appeared in the girl's right hand, constantly slapping at her left palm.
When the youth saw that it was his own sword, he felt even more ashamed. He must have been too flustered earlier to even know that his sword had fallen.
The reason why the young girl was willing to throw the belt to him was because when he was following her orders, his face was filled with helplessness. He was only raising his sword for others to see, and she believed that he was only doing so because he did not want to be ostracized.
The young lady clapped her hands as she said while shaking her head, "Sigh, in broad daylight, so many people have actually appeared outside the spring sunlight. This is truly disgraceful, but if you're willing, I'll let you see me too. Then, which one should we start from?" His eyes scanned the crowd of people, as if he didn't know how to choose. Suddenly, he pointed at the youth and said, "Let's start with you!" The youth hurriedly took a few steps back.
The girl raised her sword and made a big circle. Although they were far away, the group of people still rushed to retreat, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"Haha …" The young girl laughed loudly, yet at the same time, she unleashed her female might. "Hmph!" You bastards! If it wasn't for the fact that you are the head of the escort company and you can still be considered an upright person, I would have started a massacre long ago! Scram! All of you, scram far away from me! " As he said this, he grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and smashed it towards them. Even after being so far away, he was still able to make them cry out in fear.
The escort team didn't dare to give in. They didn't dare to say anything back. They walked away with their heads lowered like stray dogs. Even if sand hit them, they didn't dare to curse.
The teenager light arts was the worst, running at the back, with the sword scabbard placed on his belt.
The girl bellowed, "Scram!" He swung the sword in his hand sideways, and the sword flew out in a few arcs towards the back of the young man. "Swish!" With a sound, the sword was sheathed.
It was unknown if the youth did not notice, or if he did not care, but he did not even pay attention to the fact that his sword had returned to its scabbard. He only focused on escaping with his life on the line.
Seeing that they had all left, the young girl also dispiritedly prepared to leave the place.
"Sister! Big sister evil woman! " The little girl broke free from the woman's hand, called out to the girl, and walked towards her.
"Oh? What did you call me? Sister Demon Witch? " She walked up to the little girl, squatted down, and looked at her. She said with a smile, "How dare you call me that? Haven't you heard others say that I'm a demon that would kill without batting an eyelid? Aren't you afraid that I'll swallow you whole?"
She said this in a somewhat intimidating manner. However, speaking with such a tone, it didn't give people a sense of fear. It would only make people think that the adults were just joking around with the children.
The little girl shook her head and said in an extremely serious tone, "Elder sister is not a bad person, those people are the bad people."
"Oh? Didn't those people say that they are from the righteous sects? How could they be bad people? "
"They want to do bad things and are afraid that others will criticize them, so they call others bad people."
"Haha … Little sister is so smart. Big sister likes you more and more, hehe …"
The woman also walked over and thanked the young girl. "Thank you, young lady! My daughter and I were going to go to the city to find some things to do, but we met these people from the escort office, they said they were looking for some murderer, and they asked us if we had seen him, and I said I had not. I said I had not seen him, but he was a good son of a bitch, and after asking him, he let us go, but who would have known that those people actually wanted to tease my daughter. This humble one thanks Miss! "
The woman thanked him and then led the girl away.
Lin Xue tugged on Qi Tianyun's sleeve and said, "Elder Brother Tianyun, she's so beautiful!"
Qi Tianyun was stunned. He looked at her carefully a few times, but he didn't really feel it. He thought to himself: "Could it be that I have seen too few women in the past, so my taste in this area is extremely poor?"
As the young girl watched the mother and daughter walk off, she turned to look at the three people who had remained silent. She had noticed them long ago, but she had ignored them.
"And who are you? Could it be that you're on the same side as them?"
Only Wu Xia replied her with a respectful tone: "Miss has misunderstood, because I often practice here, and I heard that there is a dispute here today, so I came to take a look. As for the two of them, they are on the same path as me."
"Oh? Your words are so polite, could it be that you are acting weak because you can't beat me? "
"Lady is right. I personally witnessed Miss's amazing swordsmanship, but I am lamenting that I am not as good as you."
"Is that so?" The young girl deliberately asked, "How confident are you in defeating me?"
"Honestly speaking, I can only protect myself. However, I am not confident that I can injure the lady in the slightest."
"Hng hng!" The girl asked again, "You said that you saw my sword technique just now, what did you see?"
Qi Tianyun always felt that this sentence was a little sarcastic, as if saying that he couldn't beat her, but instead saw her sword technique. Qi Tianyun always felt that this sentence was a little sarcastic, as if saying that he couldn't defeat her, and instead said that he saw her sword technique.
"The lady must be using a Soft Sword hidden at her waist, right?" Xiang Soong said honestly, "The lady's action of drawing and retracting her sword is so fast, I really don't know how to defend against it."
"I couldn't tell, but you still have some cultivation experience," she turned to Qi Tianyun and asked, "Brat, did you see that again?"
Qi Tianyun, who was asking how he was going to stay, shook his head hurriedly after hearing her question, "I only know that the lady used a thin and soft weapon. As for what it is, I don't know."
"Hmph, f * ck!" She was about to leave this place.
"Sigh!" "Miss, please wait!" Qi Tianyun shouted, "If you don't object, I have a request."
"Hmm? What did you say? " She thought she'd misheard him and turned to stare at him in astonishment.
"It's like this," Qi Tianyun saw that he didn't object, so he said boldly, "She and I don't know where we should go now, so if there's anything else, she wants to stay over with you for the night. I don't know …" He pointed at Lin Xue and stared at her, as if afraid she would be rejected.
"Humph!" "I do have an empty room, but a small room for cleaning up trash will do. Let's see if you have the guts to stay in this room. If you dare to stay here, then I won't bother to care about you!"
Qi Tianyun didn't need to sleep in the wild as if he had picked up a big bargain. He also didn't hear the strong disgust in her words and quickly thanked her, "You will not be detested even if I stay for a few more days for such a generous treat!"
As he was planning it, he said, "If we can stay here for a long time, uh …" He counted with his fingers, "One year, two years, three years …" "How many years should I stay?" He was preoccupied with his own planning, but he did not see her eyes, which were growing more and more unsightly. Lin Xue wanted to remind him, but she couldn't bear to interrupt.
"Humph!" Aren't you afraid that my family has a black shop, and you'll seek wealth and murder for your lives the moment you enter? " The young girl threatened.
"Ah!" Lin Xue shuddered and hurriedly grabbed onto his clothes.
"Oh, really?" Qi Tianyun suddenly thought of this possibility, but immediately waved his hand without a care, "No harm, if it's like that, we can at most move out again."
Xiang Soong stared at him in shock. He didn't think that he could say such childish words.
"Do you think that you can come and go whenever you want?" The young girl was extremely angry. She never thought that there would be such a shameless person.
"Then," Qi Tianyun didn't want to miss this opportunity so he continued to lobby, "Can I ask your family and then —" The girl immediately interrupted him, "Even if they agree, I still won't agree!"
"Oh? "So the girl said your family might agree?" He finally saw a glimmer of hope.
The girl was speechless. She regretted saying those words too quickly, so she fiercely said, "You can stay, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave even if you wanted to!" He ignored this shameless fellow and left.
Qi Tianyun pulled Lin Xue and followed behind her. He waved goodbye to Xiang Soong and said, "Elder Brother Xiang, we'll meet again in the future!"
Xiang Soong suspected that it wasn't appropriate for him to live in someone's house as he was still unclear about the other party's situation. However, after hesitating for a moment, he said without a clue, "There's nothing on the left or right. I'll go with you."
Qi Tianyun was surprised, but he didn't oppose it. After all, one more friend meant one more speaker.
The girl looked back and saw that another follower had appeared. She felt even more unhappy and did not care if they could keep up with her. She quickened her pace.
Xiang Soong followed suit.
One of them was running in front while the other was following behind. However, Qi Tianyun was very tired. He pulled Lin Xue and shouted, "Don't go that fast, I can't keep up anymore. Hey! Slow down! "
The sound of the waterfall was long gone. It kept going down, until it came to a small stream. "Ding Dong", the sound of spring water could be heard incessantly. It was a refreshing sound to hear. Qi Tianyun drank a few gulps before washing his face. He took out the water canister from his bag and handed it to Lin Xue, then he also filled the other two wine gourds.
Lin Xue took two big sips. Suddenly, she smelled alcohol coming out of the gourd. She asked, "Hey, Elder Brother Tianyun, when did you start drinking?"
Qi Tianyun closed the gourd and looked at Xiang Soong, who was still in the water. He replied, "I bought it in a village a while ago and finished it in one go. I don't know how long I've been drunk for."
"Why are you drinking so much?" Lin Xue thought about it and said, "Are you feeling bad?"
Qi Tianyun put the two gourds into his bag without making a sound.
Lin Xue covered the tube and comforted him, "Don't worry, Elder Brother Tianyun. Just let me know if you have any problems in the future. Don't drink alone."
Qi Tianyun still didn't answer her. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: 'Things can't be solved so easily. Otherwise, how can there be so much helplessness and loneliness in this world?'
At this moment, the girl stopped walking and looked at them with her elbows crossed. It was unknown what she was thinking.
After a pause, she walked away again, still ignoring them, leaving them to follow her.
