"Hmph~ a lot of nonsense." Han Tiexin replied coldly in his heart, but thinking that what he said was not the truth, and that he was not qualified to criticize Xiao Fengling, he dispelled the idea of ​​making a fool of himself.Seeing that Xiao Fengling was still shivering, she walked to the bed and brought the quilt to cover him.

Xiao Fengling didn't expect him to do this. While his body was warm, even his heart was inexplicably warm. Looking at Han Tiexin's face, which was so close at hand, his face became slightly hot. He took a step back, and said awkwardly: " Thank you."

Han Tiexin didn't expect to be able to say thank you from his mouth, and looked at him in surprise. After a glance, he felt that Xiao Fengling's appearance was not only stunning at first sight, but also became more and more exquisite as he looked at it. But enough to make your heart beat faster.

Han Tiexin was shocked that he had such an idea, coughed a few times, first broke the silence, and asked the doubts hidden in his heart: "Since you know that someone is going to take your life, why did you choose to go to Meiling at this time? "

"Master's memorial day is coming soon. I'm going to pay homage to his old man." Xiao Fengling replied.

Han Tiexin didn't expect that this was really the reason for his desperation, and he couldn't help wondering what kind of person made Xiao Fengling make such an irrational decision, and asked: "It seems that Master Ling has a deep relationship with you."

"The master is with me, and he is kind to me." Xiao Fengling replied, "If there was no old man for him, I would have no idea where to go to reincarnate."

"Oh? So, you're an orphan?" Han Tiexin didn't expect them to have the same experience, and out of sympathy for each other, he unconsciously grew closer to him.

"I'm an orphan, but I'm not an orphan." Xiao Fengling's face was covered with sadness, and the unbearable past once again appeared before her eyes.

Han Tiexin asked inexplicably, "How do you say that?"

Xiao Fengling sighed, and said quietly: "When I was very young, there was a severe drought in my hometown, and the crops had not been harvested for three years. It seemed that life was going to be unbearable. One day, a group of people came to my house and were willing to give me A bag of white flour was paid. At that time, the parents were so happy that they hurriedly tidied up the room for them and spread the latest bedding for them. The leader of the group was a middle-aged man in his 40s. I was gorgeous and put on makeup. It was very uncomfortable to look at. He always stared at me intentionally or unintentionally. I found it very strange. Then I overheard his conversation with my parents. I'll become a little boy, as long as my parents let him take me away, I will give them five bags of white flour..."

"Your parents... agree?" Han Tiexin asked softly.

Xiao Fengling sighed and nodded slowly.

"Then how did you join Qingping's sect?"

"I went to Lin'an with them and was locked up in a brothel for sex. I escaped 17 times and was captured and beaten all over, but I still refused to accept my fate. No. [-] times I finally escaped, but passed out on the side of the road due to exhaustion, and was rescued by the master passing by here."

Han Tiexin did not expect that this lonely phoenix would have such an unbearable past. For the first time, he felt pity for him, and then asked: "Then did you go home again?"

"No."

"You hate your parents?"

"I hated it before, but now that I think about it, even if my parents hadn't sold me out, I might not have been able to survive that winter given the circumstances of my family at that time." Xiao Fengling smiled wryly, "There is nothing to hate."

"That's fine." Han Tiexin seriously said such a seemingly inexplicable sentence, "It's also good to have someone you can hate."

"Oh?"

"That year the bandits broke into my house and killed everyone they saw. My parents hid me in the vegetable cellar to survive, but I watched their steel knives piercing my parents' chests. Seeing that the eldest sister who was still a big girl of Huanghua threw herself into the well because she didn't want to be ruined by them." Han Tiexin took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled with some trembling, "So, hating is not the worst thing, at least You are still hated."

Xiao Fengling stared at his increasingly deep eyes, and smiled slightly: "Whether a person's situation is good or bad is often determined by comparison. It seems that my luck is not bad, and I met someone who is worse than me."

Han Tiexin was amused by his words, shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I'm a backing for you."

Han Tiexin's smile was very gentle, making people feel like spring breeze, at least Xiao Fengling thought so, he stared blankly at that smiling face, and lost his mind for a moment.

"Are you the only apprentice of your master? You are the only one who goes to worship every year?" Han Tiexin then asked.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fengling, who was still fine just now, quickly changed to that sharp and arrogant expression, and even her voice became cold, she got up and walked to the bed, and said lightly: "Rest, I have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Han Tiexin didn't know how he offended this temperamental Great Master Xiao, but he was sure of one thing, Xiao Fengling must have fellow disciples, and the relationship between them was not harmonious.

For the rest of the night, the two slept soundly. The next morning, Hai Tang came to report to Xiao Fengling: "The bodies of those people have been disposed of."

"very good."

"Should we leave now?" Haitang asked.

"No rush." ​​Xiao Fengling's fingers gently twirled along the edge of the teacup, "Let's drive to Weiyang."

"What are you going to Weiyang for?" Haitang asked puzzled, "Didn't the leader say that he was afraid of delaying the anniversary of the old leader's death?"

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain." While the two of them were talking, Han Tiexin wiped his mouth after eating the breakfast on the plate.

"You want to talk too much?!" Haitang rolled her eyes at Han Tiexin, apparently still brooding over what caused her to be scolded last time.

Han Tiexin thought to himself kindly as the liver and lungs of a donkey, shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to drink the porridge with his head down.

"Okay, go and get ready." Xiao Fengling waved her hand, and after Haitang left, she got up to get the sword case. Suddenly, a biting chill spread from her chest, and her internal organs seemed to be pierced by ice blades. As soon as he was soft, he barely stood up thanks to the edge of the bed.

"What's the matter with you?" Han Tiexin saw that he was clutching the cloth on his chest with a painful expression, walked quickly to caress Xiao Fengling, felt the chill coming from between him, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "This is..."

"It's okay." Xiao Fengling tried to straighten her waist, and said stubbornly, "You move your things to the car, and I'll come later."

Seeing what he said, Han Tiexin thought he was very wary of himself, let go of his hand, nodded and said yes to take the luggage and get on the carriage.Not long after, Xiao Fengling also sat up, wearing a white jade mask on his face to cover his original appearance, and leaned against a corner of the car with his eyes closed to rest his mind.

Haitang drove towards the direction of Wei Yang. When it was almost noon, the carriage passed a bamboo forest. Xiao Fengling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reminded: "Haitang, be careful."

"Yes!" Haitang replied, and drove into the bamboo forest. The carriage walked very slowly, and looked very leisurely. It didn't look like rushing, but rather came to visit the mountains and rivers. Passing a small stream, Xiao Fengling said again: "I I'm thirsty, let's go to the stream to drink some water."

Xiao Fengling squatted beside the stream, put the kettle into the stream to draw water, her eyes behind the mask stared at the reflections on the water surface, showing fierce killing intent.

Xiao Fengling carefully covered the silver pot lid, and turned around seemingly casually, but at the same time as she turned around, countless silver lights flew out of her sleeves and shot towards the opposite bamboo forest.

Several streaks of silver light passed through the green bamboo leaves, leaving small light-transmitting holes. With the rustling and muffled sounds of the bamboo leaves, several people fell to the ground. The sword stabbed at Xiao Fengling.

"Master, continue!" Haitang opened the sword box and tossed it, a silver light flew out, under the sunlight, it was dazzlingly bright.

Xiao Fengling raised his hand, and Taoyao was already holding it firmly in his hand. The sword light was reflected on the white jade mask, making him look even more stern, like an impermanent ghost who came from the underworld.Swinging the sword against each other, the figure is strange, more like a ghost.When a group of people raised their swords to attack, what they stabbed were often afterimages.As the peach blossoms on the sword became more and more beautiful, more and more corpses fell on the ground.

There was a clear whistling, accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, and random arrows shot from all directions.

"Be careful! Follow me!" Haitang ordered Han Tiexin to pull behind her, raised her sword to cut off the incoming arrows one by one, and moved towards Xiao Fengling's direction little by little.

Han Tiexin looked at her petite figure standing in front of him, and was moved for a moment. Ever since he was seven years old and lived in Xuegu with his master, he had lived almost isolated from the world these years. Except for his master, the only person who could see her was The most popular person is the younger brother Gao Lin. The master is serious and strict, and he rarely speaks on weekdays. Only the lively and active Gao Lin chatters in his ears about interesting stories about the world outside the valley every day.Later, he left Snow Valley and came to Qilin Mountain Villa. Although the disciples in the village were very polite to him, Han Tiexin knew that it was only because they were afraid of him. He was afraid that the young man who defeated the six heroes of Qilin in one fell swoop, the only person who was really close to him was Gao Lin. .Gao Lin's martial arts is not good, and whenever he encounters danger, he will stand in front of him. This has become a habit, until today Han Tiexin tasted the feeling of being protected for the first time, it was so heartwarming.
