Jianghu chaos

Master Xie led Xie Chaohan to turn and turn, avoiding all the disciples and entourage, and turned into the side room. Once inside, he closed the door and window, and motioned Xie Chaohan to sit down together.

Xie Chaohan's heart sank for such a serious and secretive appearance.

"Han'er, it's just you and me right now, tell dad the truth." Master Xie groaned for a moment, then took a deep breath, "The sword moves just now were really made by Jian Ling, and you didn't just make them up ?”

Xie Chaohan rubbed his nose: "My son has the authentic Luoying Sword in his hand, so why make it up? Even if you want to start a new one, you should get rid of the shackles of the Luoying Sword. Why do you have to be a four-faced one?"

Xiemen frowned, with an unnatural expression: "So frankly speaking, how is Jian Ling's skill? Which one is better between you and him?"

"That day was a short fight, and the outcome was not decided." Xie Chaohan was not modest, "But if the fight continues, he will definitely lose to me."

Master Xiemen seemed to be slightly relieved: "Then in your opinion, who else in Luoyingmen can beat him except you?"

Xie Chaohan didn't expect him to ask this question, so he raised his eyebrows and said truthfully, "Other than me...there is only father."

Xie Menzhu made no sound again.

I thought that what Jian Ling used might be just the Luoying sword's introductory swordsmanship, but he didn't expect that he had already achieved this level. Only his father and son could restrain him in the entire Luoying school—if he wanted to make trouble, it would be a bit tricky.

After Xie Chaohan finished his answer, he waited for a long time before his father could say anything, so he turned his defense into an offense without politeness: "Since there are only you and me right now, my son doesn't have to hide it, it's better to speak directly."

Master Xie rubbed his brows tiredly: "Ask."

"Cough." Xie Chaohan coughed lightly, and asked directly, "Is this Jian Ling, the romantic debt that my father owed outside when he was young?"

The hand rubbing his forehead froze, and door master Xie raised his head in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Xie Chaohan looked relaxed: "The son is not a pedantic person, and having multiple siblings is not a bad thing. If the father is worried about his mother, the son can act as a lobbyist. No matter what the situation was, after all, over the years, they are always called blood relatives. It’s not a problem if the flesh and blood are homeless and unable to return.”

Master Xie supported his head, only to feel that his head hurts even more: "Shut up."

Xie Chaohan shrugged: "It seems that the father has other considerations. I wonder if he can reveal a thing or two to his son?"

After a pause, Master Xie looked at him, and he really hesitated.

Xie Chaohan took advantage of the situation and continued to ask: "Father is so worried, could it be related to Jian Ling's mother? Could it be because of her identity?"

Master Xie lowered his eyes, unable to distinguish his emotions: "What guesses do you have, just tell them together, and you don't need to test it on your father's side."

Xie Chaohan cleared his throat, without hesitation, and said all his previous guesses as if nothing had happened: "Father is not a person who started chaos and abandoned him at the end, why didn't he bring that woman back back then? My son speculated again and again, but the only difference in his position was due to his identity." One reason can be explained. In addition, Jian Ling took the name of "Mr. Jiandi" as his surname instead of directly giving the surname "Xie". It can be seen that he has scruples about his father's real name and deliberately concealed one or two things—in fact, the last name in this world is Xie. There are so many people, how many people can think of their father even if they have the surname Xie?"

Master Xie sighed softly, and asked him back: "There are so many surnamed Jane in the world, why did you guess that it was taken from Mr. Jiandi's name?"

Xie Chaohan pursed his lips, bowed his body and said, "Jian Ling came and went in a hurry, and he only mentioned Mr. Jiandi about his life experience. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Master Xiemen looked forward in a daze: "Young Master Jiandi...do you have anything else to say besides this?"

Xie Chaohan thought for a while, and added: "He also doesn't seem to know much about the past. Before he left, he revealed that he wanted to know how he and I are related to Luoyingmen."

"Really... No one told him..." Master Xie closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Then can the father tell his son whether his guess is correct?"

"..." Xie Men opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and after thinking about it, he swallowed it back, and said, "It's useless to talk about these old things, and it has nothing to do with you. You can prepare for the promotion conference with peace of mind. It's...for the father will handle it himself, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Huh?" Xie Chaohan frowned, "It's about siblings, blood is thicker than water, how could it have nothing to do with me? Why doesn't father believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just..." Gatekeeper Xie sighed deeply, and waved his hand dejectedly, "You go first, let the father be quiet."

Xie Chaohan only thought that he still cared about him, so he didn't force him any more, and left the room after a warning.

When her hand touched the door frame, she only heard the faint voice of door master Xie behind her: "You don't need to talk about this with your mother. She has not been in good health in recent years, and talking about old things is just to disturb her."

Xie Chaohan was startled: "Mother is not in good health?"

Xie Menzhu didn't intend to say too much: "I'm old."

Xie Chaohan felt something was wrong, and stepped out of the door step by step, with many questions lingering in his mind.

He just saw his mother yesterday, and he is in good health and spirit. If he didn't mention the old things, he wouldn't be old at all... Wait, old things?

The reactions of father and mother overlapped in a trance, very similar.

Xie Chaohan frowned deeply, and slowly clenched the hand behind him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

It was night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, the Luoying Gate was calm as usual, as if the turmoil during the day hadn't caused much impact, the disciples should be patrolling and studying, there were very few idle people wandering around in the gate, Even the most curious Ruan Xi was nowhere to be seen.

The night is getting thicker, like old ink, thick enough to condense, even the lanterns on the porch under the eaves are drowsy, and the lights are dimmed, gradually unable to penetrate the night.After the handover of the night patrolling disciples, the disciples who were on duty in the first half of the night yawned and went back to the disciples' room one after another, and those who were on duty in the second half of the night were also very sleepy, trying their best to patrol around.

Being so lax, it's no wonder that Jian Ling found a gap to sneak in yesterday.

On the tall tree covered by thick branches and leaves, Xie Chaohan looked down at the Luoying Gate, shaking his head and secretly cursing.

Suddenly, the leaves beside him moved extremely slightly. If it wasn't for the extremely close distance, they might think it was a breeze and ignore it.

Naturally, Xie Chaohan did not ignore it, his expression suddenly turned serious, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, piercing through the layers of leaves in front of him, and met another pair of eyes that were equally bright as stars:

"There is movement."

Mei Qian said silently, the flower buds she was holding between her fingers popped out, and she knocked on Ruan Xi who was lying in ambush on another tree not far away without a trace.

Ruan Xi understood, and flied with them one after another in the next moment. In order to ambush him tonight, he specially changed into a black suit, jumping past like a night owl. No one noticed.

Almost at the same time, Ruan Xi took over Mei Qian's original position and hid among the leaves, watching the movement around her excitedly and anxiously.

And Mei Qian and Xie Chaohan have already chased after the passing shadow just now, forming an encirclement trend from left to right, approaching silently, from only a vague shadow to gradually seeing the figure clearly.

It was a tall man, also wearing a dark night-clothes that was as black as ink, and his whole body was tightly wrapped, only his eyes were exposed, and he passed by while inspecting the surrounding environment.

In just a moment, Xie Chaohan was able to determine his identity.

What's more, no one in the world is more familiar with this kind of internal breath and body technique, this kind of habit of starting and ending moves——Master Xiemen.

Xie Chaohan couldn't help but look back at the Luoyingmen who were galloping away. Ruan Xi was hiding in the lush forest on the way to Luoyingmen as they had told them before, watching out for anyone who might appear.

Mei Qian popped out another flower bud: "Be careful, don't lose it."

Xie Chaohan smiled, lowered his voice and compared his mouth: "Little Sheep is making great progress."

Mei Qian bent her lips and looked away.

It doesn't matter who taught it.

Unexpectedly, I thought that Master Xiemen came out in the middle of the night because he was prepared, and he had no target. He just searched around and found Dihuadang all the way from the paulownia forest. It seemed that Dihuadang was suitable for hiding. Wandered back and forth for a while.

Who he was looking for, you can guess without mentioning Xie Chaohan, it is nothing more than Jian Ling.

It's just that now the door master Xie was forced to lose his temper and came out to find someone in person, why Jian Ling disappeared?Shouldn't he be more concerned about his life experience?

Master Xiemen stopped by the Dihua Dang, under the light moonlight, the unbloomed Dicao swayed, and in the gap, the water surface with shallow ripples behind it was exposed.

As if pondering over and over again, Master Xiemen pulled off his mask, took out an old piccolo from his bosom, checked it for a while, and held it to his lips to play it.

Xie Chaohan then looked at his waist, he was wearing his piccolo, together with the scarlet tassel.

The two piccolos are of exactly the same style, except that the flute in Master Xiemen's hand is bare and undecorated. Its tone should be a bit older. It has not been played for a long time, and its sound is stagnant and hoarse, unlike Xie Chaohan's Round and clear.

It is still the Jiangnan minor tune, still only half a song.

After finishing the piece, start again, and play only this tune over and over again, until the astringent feeling in the flute sound gradually disappears, and the rhythm gradually becomes clearer.In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the water surface was empty behind the slug flowers. The sound of the flute traveled thousands of miles without any hindrance, echoing little by little in the night sky.

Mei Qian took a few steps back vigilantly, paying more attention to the movement around her.

After waiting for a long time and playing the ditty dozens of times, Jian Ling never showed up.

Master Xie Men finally stopped playing the flute, and just stood there quietly, his hand holding the piccolo was tight and tight, looking at the deserted and lonely view from his back, Xie Chaohan's heart ached.

Wasn't it just to find out about his life experience by deliberately distributing the special edition of Chaowen with embellishments and making a fuss?Xie Chaohan didn't believe that Jian Ling didn't expect to attract the door master Xie, and it was even conceivable that leading the snake out of the hole was his goal, but since the goal was achieved, why didn't he show up?Is it just a test?

Master Xie had already put away the piccolo, slowly put on the mask, glanced at Di Huadang, and walked away without looking back.
