[Comprehensive] Flying Knife and Sword

"...No." Ximen Chuuxue denied, as if afraid she would not believe it, and repeated, "I'm fine."

Ye Zhanyan withdrew her hand suspiciously. She didn't remember that she had thanked him when she was drunk and even made a joke with him. Now she saw him through the window frame, she pondered for a moment and said, "I forgot to drink last night." , I am here this time, in fact, I want to thank you personally."

Ximen Chuuxue had already guessed that she had completely forgotten about being drunk when she reached out her hand to her forehead without any suspicion, so it was not surprising to hear such a thank you at this moment.

But he also knew that Ye Zhanyan, who was in a waking state, probably wouldn't ask himself like last night if he really liked her and went to Yihua Palace for her, as the rumors in the world said.

Sure enough, after a short pause, she went on to say: "I lied to you in Jiangcheng back then, but in the end you helped me like this... You are not short of money. After thinking about it, there may be only one thing that can do it Do it for you."

Ximen Chuuxue frowned, and wanted to say that I didn't go to Yihua Palace to ask for your reward, but before I could speak, I heard her say again: "The reason I didn't want to draw my sword to compete with you was because I wasn't Ye Gucheng. But it shouldn’t be a problem for Ye Gucheng to sell me a face to compete with you, what do you think?”

When she said how, she tilted her head subconsciously, as if she was asking for his opinion sincerely and seriously.

In fact, her eyes were indeed very sincere, and Ximen Chuuxue even felt that there was a bit of pleading hidden in it, begging him to come down, so that she could repay his favor.

"No need." His expression suddenly turned cold, "I will look for him in the future."

Ye Zhanyan was stunned. She thought that Ximen Chuuxue was so obsessed with swords that she would be a little bit excited when she heard the news, but he actually reacted like this? !

"...Okay, okay." She scratched her face, "Then if you need my help in the future, just tell me."

Ximen Chuuxue raised his eyes and looked at her for a moment, but after all he couldn't continue to get cold, he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Ye Zhanyan breathed a sigh of relief when he said yes.

"Early in the morning, what are you two talking about?"

The voice came from above, it was Lu Xiaofeng.

Ye Zhanyan had already leaned half of his body out of the window, but now he raised his head to see Lu Xiaofeng, who was squatting on the roof with half of his head sticking out. He was immediately closer to Ximen Chuuxue, and his long hair like a cloud even fell to him because of this movement. on clothes.

But she didn't realize it, and even extended her hand to shake Lu Xiaofeng: "I'm thanking him for coming."

Hearing this answer, Lu Xiaofeng almost wanted to laugh three times, but after seeing Ximen Chuuxue's unwavering cold expression, he finally held back, and simply jumped off the roof, landed next to the two of them, and grabbed the window frame Ask her: "Do you want to stay a few more days this time? The monkey spirit will also come to Taiyuan in a few days."

Ye Zhanyan waved his hand: "I still have something to do."

The three of them knew what she was talking about, so Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to feel sorry after hearing it: "Then let's talk about it next time."

Ye Zhanyan nodded and said yes, thank you, and the wind had blown enough, she stood up straight and retreated to the window, closed the window and went to wash.

Outside the window, Lu Xiaofeng patted Ximen Chuuxue's shoulder sympathetically.

After getting drunk and having such a good night's sleep, Ye Zhanyan's energy was much better than when he came yesterday, and his pace was much lighter when he left the two of them and went down the mountain.

Ximen Chuuxue stood on the mountainside watching her leaving back, and suddenly wanted to make wine again.

For a long time after returning from Yihua Palace, he would put down his sword and brew a jar of wine whenever he was upset, and this time was no exception.

Seeing that he still refused to look away, Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Since you are so worried, why not go with her to find Yan Nantian."

He swears that when he said this, he just wanted to laugh at Ximen Chuuxue who had finally managed to get his head straight, but he never thought that it would become true after three days.

The matter still has to start after Ye Zhanyan went down the mountain.

After she left, Ximen Chuuxue went back to make wine, wine making is a very boring thing, at least for Lu Xiaofeng, he didn't have the patience to watch Ximen Chuuxue make wine, so he also went down the mountain to wander around Taiyuan city.

Of course, he can't do without places like restaurants, gambling houses or Goulan theaters when he hangs out.

This is where he learned the latest rumors about Yan Nantian's whereabouts in Jianghu——

It is rumored that someone saw him near the Rakshasa Sect outside the pass.

The news has already spread to the Goulan Courtyard, so the Beggars' Clan should have known about it earlier. Based on Lu Xiaofeng's understanding of Ye Zhanyan, after knowing this news, she must go to the great desert where the Rakshasa Cult is located. Even if it is regarded as the first of the four forbidden places in martial arts.

After realizing this, he didn't even bother to meet the No. [-] Oiran in Taiyuan who had a chance to meet him after waiting for three days, and rushed to Wanmei Villa like burning his ass to tell Ximen Chuuxue about it.

Ximen Chuuxue stayed behind closed doors all year round, so the news was naturally not so well-informed. When Lu Xiaofeng searched for him, he was still in the cellar.

When he learned that Ye Zhanyan should have gone to the Rakshasa Sect, he was really surprised: "Rakshasa Sect?!"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded with a sullen face: "Yes, I also specifically asked a few Beggar Sect disciples to confirm that she had indeed left Taiyuan City yesterday."

Everyone in the world knows what that place of Rakshasa means.

Because of the relationship between Ye Kai and Xiao Wangsun, the two palace owners of Yihua Palace would not dare to touch even a single hair of Ye Zhanyan; but the Raksha Sect is different. Due to the fact that the martial arts in the Central Plains are at odds with each other, it is not surprising that Ye Zhanyan would be ruthless if any disputes arise.

She could not have been unaware of this, but she went anyway.

Ximen Chuuxue clenched the sword in his hand, and finally stood up.

Lu Xiaofeng understood what he meant, looked at him seriously and asked, "So you want to go too?"

"If you don't want me to go, you don't have to tell me." Ximen Fuxue glanced at him lightly, "But you didn't."

"That's because you are my friend." Lu Xiaofeng sighed resignedly, and then added, "She is also my friend."

Ximen Chuuxue pursed his lips and did not speak.

For the past three days, he has been brewing almost all the time, but no matter how he brews, he can't use this method to calm his mind like before.

Then Lu Xiaofeng came and brought this news.

He was able to go directly to Yihua Palace in Xiuyu Valley alone because he heard that Jiang Qin had a relationship with Yihua Palace. Now he can naturally chase Ye Zhanyan outside the pass because of the news.

His way of doing things was originally as simple as his sword.

In the next half an hour, Lu Xiaofeng asked the disciples of the Beggar Gang about Ye Zhanyan's way out of the customs, and told Ximen Chuuxue who was going to chase after him the information without any omission.

Although she went and walked in a hurry, she also knew how powerful the Rakshasa Sect was, and she kept in touch with the disciples of the Beggar Sect in various places along the way, which can be regarded as a long-term mind.

If there is no such news, Ximen Chuuxue will definitely be unable to catch up even if he wants to.

She went all the way to the west, probably because after searching for more than half a year, she finally found some news about the person who made her sad, and she walked particularly fast this time.

Ximen Chuuxue almost didn't even have time to rest, and she only caught up with her on the evening of the fifth day.

When he caught up, Ye Zhanyan was sitting and resting by a dilapidated tea stand, hunched over and gulping water, her red dress was dusted by the flying dust along the way, and she looked a bit embarrassed.

Ximen Chuuxue led the horse and walked in front of her, looking at her eyes widened from surprise, suddenly felt that the exhaustion from chasing all this way had been swept away.

"Ximen Chuuxue?!" Ye Zhanyan choked on a mouthful of tea in shock, and coughed until he was in a daze. The traffic and horses in this place were full of fly ash, and the more he coughed, the more uncomfortable he became.

When she realized this and wanted to cover her mouth, Ximen Chuuxue had already bent down and patted her on the back and began to comfort her.

He moved very lightly, and his voice was also very light: "Is it okay?"

Ye Zhanyan: "..."

This sip of tea made her really uncomfortable, and after finally recovering, her eyes were still full of tears.

Seeing that she stopped coughing, Ximen Chuuxue finally moved his hand away, and then sat down beside her.

Ye Zhanyan stared blankly at his movements, and asked after a while: "...Why are you here?"

He picked up another cup that was on the table, frowned, rinsed it with tea for a while, and then answered her: "Come to find you."

"...You don't have to help me. The Raksha Sect is probably more difficult to mess with than Yihua Palace." She said sincerely, "What's more, you have already helped me once."

This kind of clear-cut statement made Ximen Chuuxue's brows frowned even deeper: "I'm not helping you."

She was looking for Yan Nantian, but Ximen Chuixue came all the way here, not to help her find it together.

He didn't care about Yan Nantian's whereabouts, he just couldn't worry about her.

Ye Zhanyan misunderstood what he said, thinking that he wanted to go with her because of Yan Nantian's advice back then, so she felt that she had no right to obstruct her, so she lowered her head and sighed softly: : "Okay, let's go together."

Under the wind and sand all over the sky, he gently nodded his head.

The two rested for a while and then went on the road again.

The farther west we get, the closer we get to the desert, and the harsher the weather. Occasionally, when there is a strong wind, our face is always hurt by the sand.

She used to be the most beautiful, and she would be unhappy for a long time if her face was slightly tanned, but now she didn't seem to care at all, and the sand scratch on her cheek was simply treated, and she continued on her way without stopping .

In the end, it was Ximen Chuuxue who watched it. When they passed by the next town, while she was feeding the horses to buy dry food, he asked a passing woman several times the price to buy her a veiled hat.

Ye Zhanyan was very surprised when he took the veiled hat, and was about to thank him when he heard a soft and sweet voice from behind.

"Oh, this young master's sweetheart is really beautiful, no wonder he asked me to buy this hat."

The folk customs in the border town are simple and honest, and the passers-by will at most give Ye Zhanyan a few more smiling looks when they hear such a joke.

Ye Zhanyan didn't care too much, she just looked back at the speaker and then turned around, then put on the veiled cap and climbed up on the horse, pursed her lips and turned her head to look at the always expressionless Ximen Chuuxue, just like a joke He said, "It's hard for you, thank you."

Unexpectedly, when he heard the words, he looked over seriously, and his tone was as serious as his eyes: "It's not difficult."

Even through Zaosha, being stared at by such eyes still made Ye Zhanyan flustered for no reason.

She turned her head almost quickly, "Let's go."

Knowing that she had finally realized something, Ximen Chuuxue curled his lips and rode up to follow.

The author has something to say: There is a group meeting on short notice, and it won’t be until eight o’clock, so I’ll update it first, I love you all.

In the future, I will update it at night. I don’t have time to change to 2333 during the day.
