I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Seven days later, Yu Luocha came back by night.

The three round and bright South China Sea pearls are placed on the black silk, like stars dotted in the night sky, extremely beautiful and dazzling.

"Is this what you found in the sea yourself?"

"It's still a bit of luck to find these three little things."

Yu Luocha coughed a few times and leaned weakly on the soft bed.

He looked very tired, his lips were so dark that they were slightly purple, and his whole body was like a big tree that was about to wither and collapse, making people unable to help but sigh with regret.

Pei Xiang only glanced at the pearl in the box, and didn't pay too much attention. She sat beside Yu Luocha, leaned forward and touched his forehead.

"You have a fever."

"It's okay, just keep it for a few days."

Yu Luocha grabbed Pei Xiang's hand and enjoyed his wife's considerate care with a smile.

Even when he was sick, his eyes were still black and bright, like the sun shining brightly, full of vitality.Such a radiant look, coupled with a sickly and pale face, makes fate even more impermanent and life precious.

Pei Xiang pursed her lips, and decided to do something for this man, she was afraid that time would be short and there would be regrets in the future.

Yu Luocha could feel the closer and softer atmosphere around Pei Xiang, and he squinted his eyes comfortably.

After floating in the sea for a few days, he not only personally found the perfect deep sea pearl, but also tempered his body and mind with the power of the sea.Fighting in the storm, wrestling with sharks and sea beasts, lurking at the bottom of the water and holding your breath, there seems to be endless fun and thrills in the ocean.

In the first two or three days, Jade Raksha lived happily, extremely fulfillingly, quite a bit of novelty and coziness.

However, when he found the third pearl, the joy in his heart suddenly faded a lot.The thrills and fun in the sea still exist, but it just lacks some attractiveness.

Yu Luocha knew that he missed someone a little bit.

Every time he is happy, he wants to share it with that person.

The vaster the ocean, the more alone he appears.

So, the man who originally planned to have fun at sea for ten days and half a month returned home on the seventh day after leaving home.

Pei Xiang and Yu Luocha leaned together and talked for a while, and the maid came in with a bowl of medicine.

"Are the medicines in Mr. Bai's prescription almost gone?"

"It's enough for three doses of medicine. After using it up, I can just stop for a while, and I can't keep drinking medicine like this."

"That's true. I remember you're going to be using a new prescription after autumn, isn't it?"

Facing Pei Xiang's serious questioning, Yu Luocha suddenly felt a little guilty, but he quickly suppressed the wavering in his heart, and nodded seriously.

Pei Xiang looked at the bright pearl on the table, thinking about how to repay the people around him.

——Those precious and scarce medicinal materials are not easy to buy, and they are often sold out as soon as they appear.Maybe, I should solve this trouble secretly for Mei Xue.

The next day, Pei Xiang still went out to practice swords, which was her unshakable habit.

Yu Luocha didn't think much, and he quickly devoted himself to the teaching affairs.

However, after going out today, Pei Xiang did not go directly to her daily sword practice place, but found a stronghold of the South Sea Sword Sect, and asked the disciple in charge to help her deliver a letter to the elder Hu Tianwei.

"Gu Nuxia, don't worry, this letter will definitely be delivered to Elder Hu before this evening."

"I can trust Guanshi Zhang. By the way, I want to inquire about something."

Pei Xiang put a piece of gold leaf in front of Guanshi Zhang, and asked softly:

"I heard that your faction has sheltered several small villages. The villagers there do not fish or farm, but regularly go to several mysterious islands to pick rare medicinal materials, and then give the medicinal materials to your faction for sale, right? "

Guanshi Zhang didn't put away Pei Xiang's gold leaf immediately, but answered her question patiently first:

"There is such a thing, Gu Nvxia. The red-striped fish scale grass, the purple worm shell mushroom and the horned sea zhi are all unique medicinal materials in our South China Sea. The growth environment is very special and mysterious. Only the local people who have picked these medicinal materials for generations know about them. Picking location, but it also attracted all kinds of covetous threats. A few years ago, those bullied herbal pickers prayed to our South China Sea Sword Sect for protection, and were willing to hand over the picked medicinal materials to us for sale and distribution, in order to help the weak and the poor chivalrous heart, we agreed to their request."

Pei Xiang immediately asked: "Guard Zhang, if I want to buy the best purple worm clam mushrooms and Jiaohaizhi, should I just order from you?"

Hearing this, Guanshi Zhang shook his head apologetically, and pushed Jin Yezi towards Pei Xiang:

"Gu Nuxia, in the past, as long as you open your mouth, we will definitely bring out the best medicinal materials for you. It's a pity, it's not a coincidence these days."

Pei Xiang looked puzzled and asked silently.

Guanshi Zhang said with a smile: "It is said that there is a very powerful person who has ordered most of the medicinal materials for this year. We don't have much left, and we don't plan to continue selling them outside."

Pei Xiang understood that what this manager Zhang said was not much different from what she had heard before, it seemed that she could only obtain those rare medicinal materials through other means.

Guanshi Zhang took a cautious look at Pei Xiang: "Nvxia Gu, do you still send this letter to Elder Hu?"

Pei Xiang nodded, and at the same time pushed Jin Yezi back to Steward Zhang:

"The letter will be sent out as usual. Manager Zhang, take this gold leaf, and I'll ask you one thing. Do you know who that powerful person is? Or, what background does the other party have?"

"This... I really don't know. Such a big shot is in direct contact with the head elders. The disciples below us have low martial arts skills. How can we have the opportunity to know the true identity of the powerful shot?"

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows, looked at Guanshi Zhang with unusually flexible eyes and smiled:

"Guard Zhang, you really don't know? Don't worry, I'm just asking for medicine, I won't do anything embarrassing, and I won't implicate you."

Guanshi Zhang rubbed his hands, looked left and right, and after making sure no one was paying attention to him, he whispered to Pei Xiang:

"Gu Nvxia, I really don't know the name of that noble person, but...it should be from the north and has a lot of influence. Also, if you really need those two medicines, and the quantity is not large, you don't have to look for them at all. That noble person. Gu Nvxia, you can speak directly to our head. As far as I know, the head and several elders will privately intercept some of them every year."

After the man said this, he put away the gold leaf, and added with a wink:

"The medicinal materials in the master's hands... are definitely no worse than those sold to nobles, after all, they are kept for personal use."

Pei Xiang smiled slightly, thanked him, and turned to leave the South Sea Sword Sect's stronghold.

The next day, she received a reply from Hu Tianwei.

"Elder Hu, I took the liberty to come to the door and interrupt you."

"Where there is, Gu Nuxia is willing to visit, Hu can't ask for it."

Pei Xiang sat down opposite Hu Tianwei, and asked directly:

"Elder Hu, what do you think of what I mentioned in the letter?"

Hu Tianwei stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said:

"Gu Nuxia is asking for medicine for her husband, and the quantity needed is not much. I shouldn't have declined. But recently, due to special circumstances, the medicine materials in the hands of me and the master are really running out, and there are many people asking for medicine. I agree. Whoever gives it will offend some people. Besides, this medicine is for curing diseases and saving lives, so if you don’t give it to anyone, to be honest, it’s quite embarrassing for the old man.”

Pei Xiang didn't move his eyebrows, waiting for Hu Tianwei to raise conditions.

As an old Jianghu, Hu Tianwei has already cultivated his thick skin, so after he sighed for a while, he said frankly:

"How about this, if Gu Nuxia is willing to become the elder of our sect, this problem will be easily solved."

Pei Xiang's first reaction was to refuse.

Hu Tianwei persuaded her: "I heard that my husband Mei Shaoxia has been in poor health and needs to drink medicine all the year round. If Gu Nuxia becomes an elder of my school, she can receive enough high-quality medicinal materials every year, and Is it not a good thing to have rich offerings and disciples who are dispatched?"

Pei Xiang thought to himself, if she likes to do things for the forces in Jianghu, wouldn't it be better to stay in the Rakshasa sect?In terms of power alone, how could a nominal elder of the South China Sea Sword Sect compare to the powerful hall master under Yu Luocha's command?

"Thank you, Elder Hu, for your attention. However, Gu still likes the leisurely life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and doesn't want to join any sect. Besides, if my husband knows about this, he won't be happy."

Hu Tianwei stopped talking.

Pei Xiang gave another solution: "How about this, I will demonstrate swordsmanship to the young disciples of your sect for a period of one month, and during this period, I will do my best and never hide it perfunctorily."

Hu Tianwei's eyes lit up when he said this, thinking of this female swordsman's superb swordsmanship, he was about to blurt out his agreement.

However, the words stopped at the edge of his mouth, and he still planned to bargain first:

"Do your best? This... Gu Nvxia is serious? It's not that the old man is suspicious, but the most important inheritance in this arena. Gu Nvxia made such a promise so easily, it is really unbelievable."

Pei Xiang didn't just have a good temper, she glanced coldly at Hu Tianwei, touched her sword, her aura suddenly turned cold.

"Elder Hu, I will do what I say, but if the disciples of your sect lack some chance understanding, I can't do anything about it."

Hu Tianwei shivered all over, and suddenly felt the cold sword energy from the day of the sword competition again, and his pupils constricted instantly.

Pei Xiang said softly: "Or, I can have another contest with Elder Hu. This time, I will definitely let Elder Hu experience what is the sword technique for killing people."

Pei Xiang's iron sword was not out of its sheath, but Hu Tianwei sat stiffly on the chair, not daring to move...

Therefore, before the end of the meeting, Pei Xiang and Hu Tianwei "happily" reached an agreement.

Pei Xiang taught the younger generation of the Nanhai Sword Sect the sword skills for a month, and the Nanhai Sword Sect gave Pei Xiang a sufficient amount of medicinal materials as a reward.

"By the way, please keep my matter of asking for medicine a secret. I don't want to burden my husband too much."

Hu Tianwei felt that his back must be covered with cold sweat, he nodded with a bluish face, and dared not say anything more.

——It has only been more than a month, and the sword intent on this woman is even more terrifying.

——I thought that after she got married, the sword in her hand would become dull and weak.Unexpectedly, she is still making rapid progress.

——Such a person is worth trying to win over, and must not become an enemy.

So far, Pei Xiang has started a month of teaching time.

She didn't tell her husband who was in poor health, but just silently did what she thought was worthwhile.She went out on time every day and came home on time, but the itinerary changed in the middle.

Yu Luocha would not let people follow Pei Xiang, he really likes to control everything, but he also knows how to respect a person.

What's more, his subordinates couldn't keep an eye on Pei Xiang, unless he personally followed him, otherwise, whoever he sent would make Pei Xiang discover the clue and arouse suspicion.

No. On the 30th day, Pei Xiang instructed the young disciples of the South Sea Sword Sect for the last time, and left the martial arts arena under their reluctant eyes.

She saw that it was still early, so she didn't rush to use lightness kung fu to hurry, but slowed down her pace, slowly admiring the scenery along the way.

In front of a lush forest, Pei Xiang stopped.

"Your Excellency has been following Gu for several days, can you come and enlighten me today?"

A faint mist floated from the forest, followed by intermittent bells and the faint fragrance of flowers.

The follower has not yet appeared, but a mysterious atmosphere has already been created.

Pei Xiang's expression remained the same, but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated twice.

Is she afraid?

of course not.

It's just that, at this moment, she has clearly realized that the visitor is a big trouble, a big trouble that makes her doubtful and can't avoid it.

The fog is getting thicker, the bells are ringing more and more frequently, and the fragrance of flowers is getting stronger and stronger.

At this moment, a Bai Lian shot out in the air, heading straight for Pei Xiang's face.

This Bai Lian came silently, but he had astonishing speed and strength, like a swimming dragon, like a poisonous snake, once it appeared, it would kill people.

It is obviously soft and thin silk cloth, but it has the sharpness and fierceness of a blade.

Pei Xiang's eyes were like cold stars, his body was like floating clouds, he floated and then retreated.

"Why don't you draw your sword?" A clear voice came from the fog.

"Do you think I'm not worthy to let you draw your sword?" The owner of the voice finally revealed his true colors.

Seeing the woman in colorful clothes scurrying towards him, Pei Xiang said in his heart that it was true!

Fog, the sound of bells, the fragrance of flowers and Bai Lian, such attack methods are no strangers in Pei Xiang's memory.

——Mu Shiqing of Xijiutang, it really is her.

——This person should be in the south of the Yangtze River, why did he come to the South China Sea to kill me?

——My true identity was discovered?

"Who are you? Why did you kill me?"

"You don't know me, but I know you." Mu Shiqing looked at Pei Xiang's facial features seriously, and the disdain in his eyes gradually grew stronger. "Gu Shuangqing, I wanted to meet you a long time ago, and then I killed you with my own hands."

Pei Xiang looked at Mu Shiqing calmly, but still did not draw his sword.

"Is there any enmity between us?"

"Hate is as deep as the sea."

"I don't remember ever offending you?"

"Your existence itself is abominable, why can you be his wife?"

Thinking of the details that the man in black told her, the details that broke her heart, Mu Shiqing looked at Pei Xiang as if poisoned, it was a kind of malice and madness full of jealousy.

Pei Xiang was stunned, she never thought that Mu Shiqing wanted to kill her because of Mei Xue's secret.

——Didn't Mu Shiqing always like Yu Luocha?

"You like my husband?" Pei Xiang deliberately emphasized the title of "husband".

Mu Shiqing's breathing became rapid, a blue light flashed in her palm, and a dark poisonous needle shot towards Pei Xiang's eyebrow in the blink of an eye.

Pei Xiang's figure swayed slightly, and under Mu Shiqing's astonished eyes, he calmly dodged a deadly hidden weapon as if taking a stroll in the courtyard.

"Sure enough, the woman who can be selected by him still has some real skills."

Mu Shiqing sneered lowly, before Pei Xiang could speak again, Bai Lian flew into the air in her hand, and the poisonous needles were hidden in the flying Bai Lian, which caught people off guard.

This is not counting all her means. After Bai practiced, the ribbons on Mu Shiqing's body also flew out together, like clouds and clouds all over the sky, making people dizzy.

Pei Xiang shot down the poisonous needle that attacked her with the scabbard, and at the same time did not forget to ask the doubts in his heart:

"Since you want to kill me, you should also report your name. My sword never kills the unknown."

"Oh, so what if I tell you, anyway...you can't leave here alive today. Listen, I'm Mu Shiqing, the only woman worthy of him!"

Pei Xiang's heart moved, and he pretended to be angry and asked: "Are you also in love with Mei Xuean like those chivalrous girls?"

Hearing Pei Xiang's questioning, Mu Shiqing suddenly giggled, and even the strength of the attack slowed down:

"You call him Mei Xuean? Hahaha, yes, so you are just that in his heart. Didn't he tell you your real identity? You are so pitiful, you don't even know who the person next to your pillow is."

"Are you playing tricks?" Pei Xiang shook his head intentionally, "It's useless, I won't listen to you sowing discord. My husband and I have a very good relationship. He has already told me everything about the Mei family. There is no secret between them, so don't waste your time thinking about it."

"You are so pitiful," Mu Shiqing repeated, showing a sweet smile, "but you are still going to die."

Mu Shiqing suddenly stepped up her offensive. Pei Xiang knew that Mu Shiqing was not a reckless person. Since she came to kill her, she must have made a lot of preparations, so she was not going to delay any longer.

It's just that she still needs to figure out another problem:

"Mu Shiqing, right? Even if you kill me, you won't be able to get his favor. He once mentioned to me that there is a female subordinate who has good work ability who has been wishful thinking and recommended herself as a pillow. But he doesn't like that at all. The female subordinate was even irritable and resentful because of her admiration, so he sent the female subordinate away. Mu Shiqing, that female subordinate who has no face and no skin to think about men...couldn't be you?"

These words made Mu Shiqing furious, and she snapped:

"Shut up, that's not me at all! He, how could he hate me? You're lying!"

Mu Shiqing's attacks became more intense and intensive. The ground was full of deep and shallow ravines, the surrounding vegetation was broken, and the broken rocks were messy.

Pei Xiang dodged to the left and right, several times in danger.That Bai Lian was like having long eyes, and he greeted Pei Xiang's face specially. The colorful ribbons disturbed his sight, and the intermittent bells covered up the attack, and the poisonous needle was hidden in it.

"Gu Shuangqing, I have followed him for so many years, and I know what a proud man he is. If he hated me, he would have killed me a long time ago. How could he be patient? Hahaha, yes, that's it. He trusts my loyalty. He Trust my ability, you don't even know his true identity!"

Pei Xiang's mood was surprisingly calm at this moment, she silently looked at Mu Shiqing who had become ugly due to jealousy.

— No, I know his identity now.

——Thank you, Mu Shiqing.

--goodbye.

Pei Xiang drew his sword.

Mu Shiqing couldn't see how Pei Xiang pulled out the sword at all, she just felt a flash of light in front of her eyes, and the cold sword aura rushed towards her face, it was a kind of sharp and majestic murderous aura, covering her from head to toe shrouded in it.

With one strike, Mu Shiqing's white practice and ribbons were all broken off.

However, Mu Shiqing still had a whip in her hand.

She has already reacted at this time, she is not Pei Xiang's opponent at all.

With the second sword, Mu Shiqing knew that she was bound to die even before the sword was powerful.

——Fortunately, I was not prepared to kill this woman by force!

Facing the sword light like mercury pouring down, Mu Shiqing retreated rapidly, and at the same time threw the thunderbolt of the martyrdom towards Pei Xiang...

Rumble!

The deafening explosion alarmed the martial arts figures nearby.

Pei Xiang is well aware of Mu Shiqing's character, so why didn't he take precautions?

When Mu Shiqing giggled and looked happily at the place where Lei Zhenzi exploded, an indifferent female voice sounded from behind her:

"Why, are you looking for the severed limbs that were blown away?"

The smile froze at the corner of Mu Shiqing's mouth, she didn't even have time to turn her head, and there was a sharp pain in her chest.

Mu Shiqing lowered her head in disbelief. Her last impression of this world was the tip of a sword on her chest.

Mu Shi died in love.

Pei Xiang didn't relax, she drew her sword directly, and quickly jumped onto a nearby big tree. Before she could stand still, the three men in black landed on the spot where she had just stood without a sound.

"Are you the ambush brought by Mu Shiqing?"

The man in black in the confrontation did not make a sound.

Pei Xiang asked again: "She is dead, do you want to avenge her?"

This time, one of the men in black shook his head: "Since she is dead, it means she is useless. Useless people, how can we talk about hatred."

"Then you still plan to attack me?" Pei Xiang asked cautiously from a high place.

"My master wants to invite Miss Gu as a guest. If Miss Gu is willing to obey, we will not do it."

"Who is your master?"

"Miss Gu will know when she arrives at Wuming Island."

"Nameless Island?"

"Yes, our master is the owner of the Nameless Island."

Pei Xiang thought, if she wasn't in the middle of a battle now, she would be willing to go to the casino for a while.

What day is it today, is it not enough to accidentally find out that I slept with Yu Luosha?Want to accept an invitation from a little old man who is suspected to be Wuming Island?

Pei Xiang stopped talking nonsense, she suddenly turned into a shooting star, shot out quickly, and ran towards the center of the forest, the surrounding scenes turned into phantoms in the peripheral vision.

The three men in black naturally followed closely. Each of them had high martial arts skills, and if they fought alone, they were only slightly inferior to Pei Xiang.But once the three join forces, their strength will increase greatly, and they will definitely pose a fatal threat to Pei Xiang.

This is why they still dare to show up after seeing Pei Xiang's brilliant swordsmanship.

In the middle of the dense forest, Pei Xiang suddenly jumped up to the high canopy of the tree again, looked down at the three confident and calm men in black, and watched them slowly move towards the tree, as if they were sure of victory.

Pei Xiang smiled sneeringly, and with a move of "The Goddess Scattering Flowers", he threw three explosives from the Thunder Hall towards the gathered men in black. The flames followed closely and ignited the fuse in mid-air...

This time there was an even more ear-splitting roar, and the only man in black who escaped was quickly dealt with by Pei Xiang, who was waiting for a rabbit.

Looking at the corpse at his feet, Pei Xiang's eyes darkened, and many thoughts came to his mind at the same time, and then slowly cooled down.

She hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind.

When Yu Luocha arrived, what he saw was Pei Xiang who was squatting on the ground examining the body of the man in black.

"How are you, are you hurt?"

Pei Xiang shook his head, sighed softly and walked to Yu Luocha's side, his attitude remained the same.

"Thanks to the gunpowder I carried with me today, otherwise I would have fallen."

Yu Luocha immediately understood: "Did you notice that someone was following you?"

Pei Xiang nodded slightly: "Just in case, I made two preparations."

This is true. After finding out that someone was following him, and that there were experts among them, Pei Xiang made preparations in advance.

She has confidence in her swordsmanship, and she also knows the truth that two fists are hard to beat with four hands.

Yu Luosha took her hand and said in a low tone, "You should tell me."

Pei Xiang looked at Yu Luocha lovingly, as if he was treating a porcelain doll:

"Husband, you are weak, and I don't want you to be bothered. Don't worry, I can support this family, whether it's now or... in the future."

Yu Luosha was silent for a moment.

He cleared his throat and changed the subject: "There are also traces of explosions beside the forest. How many people besieged you in total?"

"Four, but that one ran away. The remaining three chased after me, and after asking me to come up with some words, they were also dealt with one by one."

"Do you know who is behind the scenes?"

Pei Xiang nodded, but his tone was very blank:

"They said that the owner of Wuming Island invited me to be a 'guest', as if he was planning to use me to threaten you, which is very strange. Husband, do you have any enemies on some unnamed island?"

The storm gathered in Yu Luocha's eyes.

"Wuming Island...Little old man, heh, he is really 'hospitality'!"
