I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

"You lost, Nangong Yu."

Pei Xiang's indifferent voice resounded in the silent courtyard, neither light nor heavy, but it shocked many people, like thunder bursting in their ears.

——Nangong Yu actually lost?

——The heir carefully cultivated by the Nangong family actually lost to an unknown young girl!

——It’s just a sword, the outcome is decided.

There was still disbelief in Nangong Yu's eyes, but the tingling pain on his neck and the fear that his life was hanging by a thread made him extremely sober.

"I actually lost..." Nangong Yu muttered to himself.

Pei Xiang's tone was even colder: "Not only that, you should remember that this is not a fair fight, you are the one who draws the sword first and sneaks up in a despicable way. Nangong Yu, you are not worthy of the word 'young hero', I despise you you."

These words were sharper than the sword on the neck, and Nangong Yu's face quickly turned gray.

Mr. Tieqin and Nangong Yu's parents had a good relationship, and they also watched him grow up, and always loved him as a nephew and younger generation. Seeing Nangong Yu's defeat and humiliation, he couldn't help persuading him:

"Gu Nvxia, Nangong Yu was only infatuated for a while. You made provocative words first. He is young and energetic and can't stand the provocation, so he thought about it for a while. He has to forgive others and forgive others."

"Do you have to forgive others and forgive others?"

"Exactly, Gu Nvxia's swordsmanship is good, Nangong Yu was careless, and she accidentally lost. There is no enmity between you two, why bother to confront each other like this."

"Mr. Tie Qin, you want me to turn hostility into friendship?"

"Gu Nuxia, this old man knows that Ayu has always been a prudent child. Today, you were the first to provoke him with your words, so he acted recklessly. Since you have not suffered any harm, it is better to turn the enemy into a friend. I believe that the Nangong family People will be happy to see you become Ayu's friend."

While talking, Mr. Tie Qin untied a token from his waist and threw it at Pei Xiang:

"This is the old man's promise. In the future, the disciples of the old man's sect and the children of the Nangong family will never be enemies of you."

Pei Xiang turned sideways, did not accept the token, but cast a mocking look at Mr. Tie Qin, and said slowly:

"When Nangong Yu wanted to put me to death, Master Jingci and Dugu Hero were all ready to rescue me. Daoist Mu saw that I was not in danger, so he didn't help. Mr. Tieqin, you don't have Elder Mu. With that insight, he still chose to stand by and do nothing. Since that’s the case, don’t say any words of persuasion at this moment, just watch quietly.”

When Tie Qin saw the token he sent fell to the ground, and heard Pei Xiang's sarcasm in his ears, his whole body suddenly rose.

"Juniors are rude!"

"Mr. Tieqin, I have no family or sect, and your virtue is insufficient, so let's forget about seniority."

Tieqin didn't expect Pei Xiang to contradict him like this. He has been famous for a long time and is used to being flattered. Now he is ridiculed and despised by a junior in the world. If he doesn't "return", what face will he have?

People in the Jianghu fight for that tone!

Thinking that he would be ridiculed and looked down upon by others, Tie Qin suddenly became angry. When he raised his hand, a throwing knife flew out of his hand and went straight to Pei Xiang's sword-holding wrist.

"Since there is no sect master to discipline you, then this old man will teach you the rules of the world today!"

The speed of this move is definitely not comparable to that of the younger generation like Nangong Yu.Just now, everyone could clearly see Nangong Yu's posture of swinging the knife and the direction of the light of the knife, but at this moment, they didn't even have time to let out an exclamation.

With a flash of cold light, a small and thin flying knife reached Pei Xiang's wrist.

There was a pity in the eyes of Mu Taoist and others.

They also didn't expect that Tie Qin would make a sudden attack, but it was already too late to intercept it.

——When the knife flew out, Gu Shuangqing's hand was useless, but it's a pity that her swordsmanship talent...

However, Gu Shuangqing surprised everyone again, she seemed to have expected that Tie Qin would attack her.Almost at the same time, her hand holding the sword slid down quickly, allowing the blade to draw a bloody wound on Nangong Yu's chest.

Tie Qin's flying knife almost flew over the skin of the back of Pei Xiang's hand. At this moment, Pei Xiang's hairs stood on end, and she could clearly feel the coldness carried by the flying knife.

——If hit by a flying knife, my right wrist will be broken.

——He wanted to cripple my sword-holding hand!

Pei Xiang's eyes turned completely cold, and the memory left by her original body suddenly became extremely clear. There is really no reason for this arena where the weak are prey to the strong, and there is no way out.

——If I choose to be tolerant and retreat today, and calm down, my martial arts cultivation will no longer be proficient in the future...

——Live humblely, or rather die!

The flying knife sank into the ground with a clang, and Pei Xiang flew up suddenly, stepping on Nangong Yu's shoulder and swinging the sword again.

This time, she has nothing else to do, only attacking and killing the enemy is the only thing in her will.

With a dragon roar, the sword energy rushed into the sky.

In the memory attic, all the memories belonging to the Wuming swordsmanship were released, and she allowed herself to become focused and cold, sharp and brave.

Once this sword is released, there is no reservation, only blood can soothe the boiling desire in my heart.

The sword is a lethal weapon, it can injure others as well as oneself, when the human sword tends to become one, it is the time when it is better to bend than to bend, to die without rest.

The indifference in Tie Qin's eyes hadn't dissipated yet, and an unknown fear suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart.He soared into the air and threw three deadly throwing knives in Pei Xiang's direction, hitting her eyebrows, throat and heart.

However, Pei Xiang's sword seems to be brave and lonely, but there are many hidden changes.In just one breath, Mu Taoist and Dugu Yihe, who are good at swordsmanship, saw the seven transformations, locking on the vital points of the iron piano every time.

This dazzling sword light knocked down three flying knives, and instead of weakening the momentum, it became extremely agile.The sword light illuminated every look in Pei Xiang and Tie Qin's eyes, every inch of muscle.

Taoist Mu's eyes were full of splendor, and Dugu Yihe clenched his sword tightly. They all knew that today, at this very moment, they were about to witness the birth of a first-class swordsman...

For Pei Xiang, Tie Qin's flying knives are like hidden reefs under the rushing river, dangerous but not concealed enough.

The arc drawn by the flying knife seems to be flexible, but it is not as changeable as the current vortex.

And her swordsmanship, like wind and fog, has been freed from any traction and fetters, attacking with invisible form, how could it fail?

Within thirty moves, the two were evenly matched, Pei Xiang's swordsmanship was terrifying, but Tie Qin could still resist the confrontation thanks to her deep internal strength.

After thirty moves, Pei Xiang broke through the bottleneck in the battle, the speed of the sword was faster, the sword energy was intertwined, and the aura in his eyes was even more indomitable.

In the hundredth move, Pei Xiang felt that her internal energy was about to be exhausted, and if she persisted in the stalemate, she would suffer a loss.

Pei Xiang closed his eyes and immersed himself in the nameless sword technique without any reservation.

The one hundred and fifth move, Pei Xiang's eyes were icy cold, she couldn't see herself or others, only killing in her eyes.

The one hundred and sixth move, Tie Qin lost.

The wind stopped, and the sword was withdrawn.

So far, the word Gu Shuangqing is no longer unknown, and two consecutive battles have established her status and fame in the world.

Pei Xiang walked up to Master Jingci, Dugu Yihe and Taoist Mu, clasped his fists and saluted, thanking them for their enthusiasm for helping.

The three of them also returned a salute, discussing friendship as peers.

The dangerous battle is over, but the murder of the Lei family has not yet come to light.

Because of the breakthrough in the battle and the influence of the unknown swordsmanship, Pei Xiang suddenly didn't want to follow the previous meticulous and cautious style of action, nor did she have the patience to deduce Zhou Xuan step by step, so she directly drew a sword aura and cut off Lei Ning's skirt put.

"you……"

"Huh? Lei Ning's shoes... Take a look!"

Following this exclamation, everyone's eyes fell on the shoes of the Second Miss of the Lei family.

"The patterns embroidered on her shoes are plum blossoms, right?"

"Yes, this kind of red plum is exactly the same as that bloody plum blossom."

At this time, Nan Gongyu didn't care about her injury and face, and didn't go to comfort Tie Qin who had just defended him. Instead, she ran directly in front of Lei Ning and took off her blood-stained robe to cover her.

Pei Xiang looked at Lei Jinying and said, "This is probably why Nangong Yu wanted to kill me. Because he realized that I had discovered Lei Ning's secret, and he wanted to protect his beloved."

Lei Jinying didn't seem to be able to react yet, this lean and strong man had a dazed expression on his face, his eyes widened, and he was staring at the embroidery on Lei Ning's shoes.

"Ning'er, you, your sister..."

Lei Ning stood behind Nangong Yu, shaking his head with tears in his eyes.

"Father, this is just a coincidence. This, this Miss Gu has a prejudice against me and Big Brother Nangong, don't be misled by her. She, she must have framed me because she wanted to clear herself of the suspicion."

Pei Xiang ignored Lei Ning's excuse and continued:

"When we investigated our morning itinerary, we didn't ask Lei Ning. Master Lei, you can ask her yourself. By the way, I don't think it's credible if she uses the maids around her as witnesses .”

Chu Peipei sneered: "The person who manages the inner house of Lei's family is Lei Ning's biological mother. Xiaorou suffered a lot of inexplicable grievances during her lifetime. I hope that Uncle Lei can use his confidantes to seriously investigate this matter. fan."

"Cousin..." Nangong Yu looked at Chu Peipei pleadingly.

Chu Peipei thought of Nangong Yu's knife. If Pei Xiang hadn't pushed her out, she might have been seriously injured and fell to the ground, so she rolled her eyes and continued to add anger:

"No matter what Lei Ning pretended to be, he kept everything secret and forgot to change his shoes. So, when Xiaorou fell down, she saw the murderer's shoes, which left the pattern of plum blossoms behind."

Lei Ning still denied it. She first said something that Chu Peipei didn't like her, implying that everyone was Chu Peipei taking the opportunity to frame her.

Then she asked timidly, what reason did she, Lei Ning, have for killing her own sister?Even though the sisters often quarreled, they couldn't reach the point of killing each other.

Pei Xiang's eyes fell on the Hall of Renyi behind Lei Jinying.

Chu Peipei rolled her eyes and came up with a reason: "Xiaorou told me before that she ran into a big secret of yours. You must have killed someone because you were afraid that Xiaorou would tell it. By the way, you are still jealous Xiao Rou, because Uncle Lei loves her very much."

Lei Ning is not afraid of Chu Peipei's nonsense, she is afraid of Pei Xiang's gaze at Renyitang.

Lei Jinying signaled his subordinates to go down and interrogate the servants around Lei Ning.

After that, he stared at Lei Ning seriously, and asked, "Ning'er, don't mention anything else, I just ask you, what's the matter between you and Nangong Yu?"

Nangong Yu took a step forward and saluted Lei Jinying.

"Uncle Lei, Xiao Ning and I are in love with each other, I hope you will make it happen. Also, Xiao Ning and I did not hurt Lei Rou, all of this is someone else's speculation and unfortunate coincidence, please learn from me."

Lei Jinying also didn't believe that Lei Ning would kill his own sister, his second daughter had always been virtuous and docile, so it was impossible for her to do such a cruel and ruthless thing.

However, he suspected Nangong Yu, suspected that Lei Ning was deceived by Nangong Yu, and helped Nangong Yu without knowing it.

In any case, in the eyes of a father who loves his children, without real evidence, he will not doubt his own flesh and blood.

Wrong, of course someone else.

Pei Xiang had been observing Lei Jinying all the time, so he naturally didn't miss the change in his expression. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that he was still lucky.

She was a little hesitant, should she remind Lei Jinying to check inside the Hall of Renyi to see if the mechanism box containing the blueprints is still there?If it is, you should also ask Master Lu to verify it to see if it has been dropped.

——Is there any other driving force behind Lei Ning and Nangong Yu?Or, a third party reaping the benefits?

——When I left the Western Rakshasa Sect, Yu Luocha was obviously very interested in Lei Zhenzi's drawings, so he sent me out.But I have been out of contact for half a year, will he make other arrangements?

——The imperial envoy did not arrive here on time, is it because the Western Rakshasa is blocking it?

——Or are other forces making small moves?Is there something wrong with that Li Ru?

—— Lei Jinying's brother and three sons are guarding various places in Lushui Villa, including the mine deep in Chiyun Mountain and the place where gunpowder is made. I don't know if they have been attacked at this time?

Pei Xiang felt a little tired.

She had just broken through, and she just wanted to find a quiet place to recall the previous battle process carefully, and she didn't want to waste time and energy here.

So, she decided to tell all the doubts. Since someone is going to fish in troubled waters, don't blame her for muddying the water completely.

However, just when Pei Xiang was about to speak, Mei Xue, who had disappeared all morning, appeared in the dark.

This person not only appeared, but also appeared in a wheelchair.

"Mei Shaoxia, you... what's wrong?"

Mei Xue smiled calmly: "It's okay, my old illness relapsed last night, and I lost my breath after practicing kung fu. I can only draw some true energy into the meridians of my legs, so I can't walk briskly for the time being."

"Then, can you still stand up?"

"Of course, I can still barely walk now. It's just that Doctor Bai suggested that I should cultivate for a period of time so that I can recuperate my qi properly before leaving the assistance of the wheelchair."

"That's it, Mr. Mei, you must take good care of your health. I hope you recover soon."

"Thank you for the young hero's good words."

At this time, Sima Ziyi took a step forward and asked politely:

"Mr. Mei, I want to ask, where were you this morning?"

"I drink medicine from Miraculous Physician Bai." Mei Xue shook her head helplessly, with a special transparency and detachment in her expression, "My body, hey, Miracle Physician Bai cares more about me than I do."

Sima Ziyi looked at Lei Jinying suspiciously: "Uncle Lei, Doctor Bai is also in Lushui Villa?"

Lei Jinying nodded: "Master Bai is an old friend of my father. This time my father celebrates his birthday, I personally went to the West Lake to invite Doctor Bai."

"Why haven't you seen him show up?" Tang Jianqi asked, shaking his fan.

"The old man likes to be quiet. He is still working on a prescription recently, but he hasn't shown up."

After Lei Jinying finished explaining, he turned to look at Mei Xuean: "Mei Shaoxia, do you also know Doctor Bai?"

Mei Xue alluded to the wheelchair under her body, and smiled slightly: "My body is very troublesome, and among the people I know, doctors are the most, from old imperial doctors in the capital to hermits in the mountains, I have seen it all these years. "

Taoist Mu smiled and said: "With the help of Doctor Bai, Mei Shaoxia's body must be recuperated soon."

"Thank you Daochang for your good words, everything will be fine."

While talking with everyone, Mei Xue turned the wheelchair into the courtyard by herself.

Pei Xiang silently glanced at Mei Xue'an's legs, always feeling that this person came in time and was paralyzed in time.

Then, Mei Xue secretly saw the corpse covered in white silk in the yard.

Before Mei Xue could ask secretly, Lei Jinying sighed heavily.He waved his hand towards the corner, signaling the disciples of the Thunder Martial Hall to take Leirou's body away from the Hall of Renyi and go to prepare the coffin.

"This... what happened?"

Pei Xiang also sighed, because this Mei Xuean directly threw the question to her, and even turned the wheelchair to her side, as if the two of them had a good relationship.

She had just finished criticizing Nangong Yu's upbringing and conduct with righteous words, so of course she couldn't be indifferent to Mei Xue who was "dead in body and strong in mind".

So, she succinctly narrated Lei Rou's death.

After listening to the cause and effect, Mei Xue secretly shook her head and sighed.

At this time, Chu Peipei, Lei Ning, and Nan Gongyu started to argue again, and Sima Ziyi was forced to get involved, and everyone's attention was attracted.

Mei Xue watched secretly for a while, then suddenly asked Pei Xiang in a low voice:

"Tell me, if there is no real evidence to prove that it was Lei Ning and Nangong Yu's conspiracy in the end, but all the doubts point to them, what will Lei Jinying do?"

"He didn't ask Lei Ning to be interrogated immediately, which means that he doesn't want to lose another daughter after losing one."

The man in the wheelchair smiled brightly, but what he said hit the nail on the head:

"The three brothers of the Lei family are not close to Lei Rou either. Of all the people, Chu Peipei is probably the only one who really wants to avenge Lei Rou."

Pei Xiang hummed lightly, with a flat expression.

Mei Xue gave her a dark look, and suddenly said, "I can feel that you have made a breakthrough. Congratulations."

Pei Xiang was secretly surprised by this person's sensitivity, and she said honestly: "Breakthrough at this time is not a completely good thing."

"Why is this?"

"I feel that I have been more deeply influenced by the sword manual."

These words were endless, but Mei Xuean understood.

"Didn't you say before that the sword manual is very suitable for you? If so, it should be a good thing that the influence has deepened."

Pei Xiang shook his head: "I don't want to become an invincible sword. I practice swords for freedom and strength, and to become a willful and carefree 'person'. I absolutely don't want to lose my nature and softness in my heart. In that case, it would be another A kind of unfreedom."

Mei Xue smiled secretly: "I had this concern before, that's why I got hurt."

"What about now? Your legs are already like this, do you still stick to your martial arts choice?"

Mei Xue was silent for a while, avoiding her own questions.

"Miss Gu, I think that after the fusion of human and sword, it is the sword of the heart. The sword moves at will and even returns to its original nature. You are worried that you will become a sword, but a human is not a sword after all, it is just a process. In the end, you will eventually Those who want to escape from the indifference without love and hatred, become human beings with flesh and blood again."

Pei Xiang was surprised: "Mr. Mei, you have so much confidence in me? To be honest, I don't know if I can get rid of that state. I am worried that life is short and there is no time for epiphany."

"I've always thought that Ms. Gu's qualifications are very good, and she's a transparent person."

"The compliment is greatly appreciated."

Mei Xue lightly tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair, thoughtfully.

"Miss Gu, what do you want to do?"

"I want to find a bond for myself."

Mei Xue'an's tone was a bit strange: "Feeling...have you thought it through?"

"Think it over. Mr. Mei, this is the solution I came up with. I don't know if it will help you. However, since your injury has not improved, why not try another way."

Mei Xue lowered her eyes secretly, hiding her thoughts and balances.

After a while, he smiled at Pei Xiang, his eyes melting like a spring.

"Miss Gu, thank you for being willing to tell me this."

Pei Xiang resisted the sick beauty's smile, she looked at the people not far away, and shook her head slightly:

"After the incident in the Thunderbolt Hall is over, I plan to take a look around. I heard that there are high-level hermits who practice swords on Kunlun, and there are also heroes who are good at swords in the South China Sea and Ye's lineage. Let's take a look, challenge around, and say Maybe some problems will be solved easily. In the future... it may be difficult to have the opportunity to see Mr. Mei again. So, while we can still meet today, I will tell you my thoughts, and I hope I can bring you some new ideas. train of thought."

Mei Xue replied softly, "I already have a very good new idea, Miss Gu."
