Brother, did you confess today?

Xu Xiangfei entered Jing County early in the morning. This place is not considered a frontier fortress, but there are many people in the rivers and lakes, and there are also many businessmen coming and going across the north and south. Although it is not that rich, it is still lively.

He and Zhu Xuguang also came here a few years ago, but they left in a hurry and didn't inquire about the Huailu Sect.

He led the horse and approached the county slowly, there were shouts everywhere, those who sold weapons and sword manuals, those who sold northern specialties, and those who sold southern clothes and jewelry, all gathered here, and they were safe.

Xu Xiangfei went to the jewelry stall and found that it was a pity that he didn't have his own, and he didn't know when he would be able to see the things in his shop here.

But after thinking about it, Li Xing has exposed the shop, so it's not in his charge, and it's up to shopkeeper Li to continue working hard.

Xu Xiangfei's sword is hung on the horse's back, which makes people know that he is a wanderer, and the people in the jewelry shop are not so enthusiastic about him.

It was the weapon seller who yelled to attract Xu Xiangfei to take a look.

Xu Xiangfei glanced at it, and was quite interested when he saw a long red whip, and wanted to pick it up to have a look.

The seller also said: "This long whip is made of high-quality stuff, and it was specially brought from the north! It is also light and convenient, suitable for girls to use. The young man must want to buy it for the female family members at home, right?"

Xu Xiangfei nodded, picked up the long whip and wanted to take a closer look, but saw a young girl who came out from nowhere, snatched the things in his hand, and slapped the silver on the stall: "I want this whip." Already!"

Xu Xiangfei: "?"

What's going on, has someone snatched something from him now?

No wonder he didn't react, Xu Xiangfei really didn't expect someone to grab it directly.

He doesn't look like a mess, does he?

The stall owner was also panicked. He looked at this and then that. Although Xu Xiangfei didn't know him, he was from the south at first glance. It's impossible for him to walk so far alone without any skills, and this girl...

She, she... She is from the Huailu Sect!

This coming and going, not to mention hating the Demon Cult, but also unwilling to provoke the Demon Cult.

The girl looked over triumphantly: "Why, are you going to snatch it from me?"

Xu Xiangfei withdrew his hand: "I didn't snatch this from you, you wanted to snatch it from me, right?"

Not only was the girl not embarrassed when she heard the words, but she became even more arrogant: "So what if I rob you? The skills are not as good as others, and that's how it should be."

Xu Xiangfei: "..."

Good guy.

The girl turned her head: "Although he came first, I want this whip, and I will give you double the price."

The stall owner didn't dare to answer. People who can make a living in Jing County are very good at observing words and demeanor. He first took a careful look at Xu Xiangfei, and said that people should not be judged by their appearance. Even if the young man in front of him looks harmless, maybe ?

What if he gets upset and cuts people with a sword?

This kind of thing is not unheard of.

The stall owner didn't want to get into trouble, so he just faltered: "This, this...the villain dare not make decisions."

The girl snorted and scolded: "Coward!"

Then she turned her head again: "Then, if I fight with you, the whip will be mine if I win, and you are not allowed to trouble the seller, how about it?"

The stall owner's eyes lit up.

Xu Xiangfei: "...OK."

The girl continued: "There are no activities here, let's go to the front to discuss."

Xu Xiangfei thought it was funny, and felt that the girl was quite cute, like Ye Weiyi, so he became more patient and continued: "Okay."

The girl blinked, said nothing, stretched out her hand, and led Xu Xiangfei to a remote place. She turned her back to a stranger, as if she was not worried that the person behind her would suddenly attack.

Naturally, Xu Xiangfei didn't make a move. He continued to walk further and further away, and there were not even any human voices around, so he stopped and pulled the restless horse.

The girl turned her head and smiled slyly: "Are you afraid?"

Xu Xiangfei also laughed, not knowing whether the little girl was smart or innocent, she just shook her head: "Okay, I won't be willing to go any further... What do you guys want to do?"

The girl looked calm: "What you? It was agreed that the two of us will compete! Don't you want to go back on your word?"

"Hey, it's already this time, don't these girls think it's superfluous? After following me all the way... there should be something to tell, right?"

Before Xu Xiangfei arrived in Jing County, he felt that someone was staring at him, but he didn't feel anything. He entered Jing County openly, and walked around happily, waiting to see when the people following him would make a move.

It turned out that a little girl appeared first.

But the little girl is also considered smart, she knows how to adapt to the situation, and comes up to grab his things. No matter what he thinks in his heart, most of them will not refuse the little girl's request.

It can be a competition, or a relationship, who can say for sure?

It's just that the little girl didn't seem to want to befriend him, so she directly led Xu Xiangfei to such a remote place.

The girl stopped pretending: "Oh, since you know everything, so what?"

Her previous innocent appearance changed in an instant, and she didn't hide the gloating in her eyes at all. She was bouncing and playing with her hands behind her back, giggling: "You look pretty, but you look even better tied up."

Xu Xiangfei: "..."

As soon as the voice fell, several masked men in ordinary clothes jumped out from all directions, and rushed straight to Xu Xiangfei. Some people disturbed the horses and blocked Xu Xiangfei's way.

Xu Xiangfei stretched out his hand and drew his sword, first blocked a few people, then his figure flashed, and he distanced himself from them in an instant, even the girl was startled: "Don't let him run away!"

But at the next moment, she widened her eyes in surprise, because Xu Xiangfei not only didn't run away, but put away his sword, and said helplessly, "Everyone just asked me to go to Huailu Sect, why bother?"

Several people paused, looked at each other, and thought about what Xu Xiangfei meant by this.

"I came here this time to visit the leader Huailu. Since the purpose is the same, there is no need to confront each other, right?"

Xu Xiangfei calmly said: "Besides, you can't catch me."

He is still very confident in his lightness kung fu.

The girl stepped forward: "Why should I believe you?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you don't believe me, then I will leave?"

Xu Xiangfei turned to leave, but was immediately stopped by the girl: "Hey! Forget it, come with us."

Several people looked at the girl: "But the leader said to tie him back."

The little girl spread her hands: "Then you catch him, if you hurt him, the young master will definitely be upset again, the young master is not happy and the leader is not happy, so it's not our fault in the end."

Several people:"……"

It seems reasonable!

After thinking about it, they really put away their weapons, huddled together, and stared at Xu Xiangfei.

Xu Xiangfei directly handed the rein to one of them: "Thank you for taking care of it for me, I need it when I leave."

Inexplicably, the person who was arranged to raise horses: "..."

Why is this person so rude? !

He is more like their young master than Yue Manxing, directing them to do things without any panic.

Of course Xu Xiangfei didn't panic, instead he thought it was a little funny, and he wondered if the Huailu Cult had been hiding from the world for too long, and the young men they raised now are all so fun.

He also asked the girl's name, and the girl thought for a while: "My name is Qiaoqiao, but you are not allowed to call me Qiaoqiao."

"Then, Miss Qiaoqiao, is it convenient for me to ask something? I won't join the Huailu Sect in time. I don't know anything and offend your leader and make everyone unhappy."

Qiaoqiao looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to know?"

"For example, your young master..."

"No, no, no, you can't tell outsiders about the young master."

Qiaoqiao took out the cloth strip: "Also, you have to cover your eyes so that you cannot see how we teach."

Xu Xiangfei took it silently, sighing inwardly.

It seems that the children are not too stupid.

As usual, they found a carriage and took people to the direction of Huailu Sect. Xu Xiangfei was placed in the carriage by them, his eyes were blindfolded, and his sword could only be put aside.

Qiaoqiao sat outside the carriage and looked around: "We will do what the leader told us first, and we will definitely be rewarded when we go back."

The young man around him didn't quite believe it: "Qiaoqiao, you snatched other people's tasks, and even made your own way to change the tie into a belt. What if the leader gets angry?"

"No way!" Qiaoqiao slapped it, "Are you stupid? What the leader values ​​most now is the young master! Although this person has nothing to do with the young master, he was the young master's big brother before! Even if it is not close, but the young master has a good relationship with him, even for the sake of the young master, the teacher will not punish us."

The young man was dubious, and looked back at the curtain on the carriage: "You said...why isn't he afraid? We are the Demon Cult!"

Qiaoqiao couldn't answer this question, so she said angrily, "Think for yourself!"

They didn't talk to Xu Xiangfei along the way, Xu Xiangfei had no choice but to close his eyes and rest his mind, estimating the distance.

The road was flat at first, and then it became bumpy. The distance was not too long, but it was a bit roundabout...

Stopped.

Xu Xiangfei opened his eyes, someone reached out to help him, and muttered: "Don't fall..."

Xu Xiangfei laughed: "Think about it."

The man was startled: "Don't talk!"

They stole things from others, so they can't let others know.

You have to steal the reward.

This is also the rule of the Huailu Sect. Except for big things, other things can be competed with each other, and whoever completes it first will report it.

Abducting Xu Xiangfei back is naturally not a big deal. After Qiaoqiao knew about it, she kept paying attention and brought him back first.

Just not tied back, not quite as perfect.

Xu Xiangfei thought for a while: "Why don't I let you be tied up for a while?"

"No need..."

Qiaoqiao came over: "I'll take him to see the leader."

Instead of taking Xu Xiangfei's hand, she flicked the whip and wrapped it around Xu Xiangfei's wrist.

Xu Xiangfei had no choice but to silently start counting how many steps he had taken.

When Qiaoqiao said that the blindfold could be removed, Xu Xiangfei came back to his senses, raised his hand to take it off, first covered his eyes with his hands, and then squinted to look at the place in front of him.

There is nothing lacking in the pavilions, towers, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water in the Huailu Sect, but they are a bit nondescript, as if they were placed together randomly at the beginning, without careful consideration of whether it is suitable or not, and later they are patched here and there. It was fun.

In front of him is a pavilion with two or two characters written on it, which is grand and grand, with the black flag of Huailu on the top, when Xu Xiangfei was looking at it, Qiaoqiao gently pushed him: "The leader is waiting for you, you go in. "

Xu Xiangfei hummed and entered the door generously. A few men in black behind the door glanced at him, and another young woman led him up to the second floor.

The second floor is almost connected. From the railing, one can see the mountains and valleys outside the Huailu Church, as well as the busy people inside the church.

Qu Jinbai was wearing a light blue robe, with his chest wide open, drinking wine and listening to the piano, laughing out loud from time to time.

When he saw Xu Xiangfei coming, he didn't get up, he just waved: "Let him come here."

The young woman asked Xu Xiangfei to come to Qu Jinbai's side, reminding him to sit down in a low voice.

There were no tables and chairs anywhere, Xu Xiangfei thought for a while, and sat down cross-legged like Qu Jinbai. He didn't speak first, but also listened to the piano for a while.

The player who played the qin was also a young woman, the sound of the qin was not gentle and melodious, but rather majestic, but Jinbai listened to the song with great enthusiasm, and asked Xu Xiangfei: "How does she play?"

Xu Xiangfei said: "Very good, if you don't open your eyes, you really think there are thousands of troops ahead."

"Ha, this song was made after I experienced the Demon Slayer Conference back then. When I heard it, I remembered how the righteous way of martial arts surrounded and suppressed my Yang Yin back then!"

Qu Jinbai suddenly threw the wine glass away, and the sound of the piano stopped, "Does it sound good to you?"

Xu Xiangfei didn't change his face: "Of course it's good. I don't think the leader composed the music for nostalgia. There are many heroes and talents in the demon slaying conference, and this song is not without the meaning of appreciation."

Only then did Qu Jinbai look at him for a while, then snorted softly, and waved his hands to let the two young women leave. He still looked unrestrained, but his eyes were more serious, and he looked at Xu Xiangfei with his face on one hand: "My Xingxing, recently I wrote you a lot of letters. Tsk, he never said those dirty words in the letters to my uncle."

"When Man Xing was with me, he didn't talk much. He wanted to be restrained, but Man Xing knew who was good to him."

Xu Xiangfei sighed softly: "Like the leader, Man Xing can't bear to miss my big brother for many days. Man Xing will naturally appreciate his hard work in finding me."

Qu Jinbai raised his eyebrows: "You are... very good at taking advantage of loopholes."

He wanted to kidnap Xu Xiangfei to come here, but when he said this, it seemed that he invited someone to come, and Xu Xiangfei was a guest instead.

Xu Xiangfei smiled: "Where is it? Isn't this the leader who loves Man Xing?"

Of course, it was impossible for him to feel that Qu Jinbai was sincerely for Yue Manxing's good just because of a few words. Although he couldn't see the clue now, he still had to see it with his own eyes to be at ease.

Xu Xiangfei asked Yue Manxing to come to Huailu Sect because he wanted him to really get rid of the past and not be trapped by the previous life, but he didn't really leave him here.

As long as Yue Manxing wanted to leave, Xu Xiangfei would of course find a way to take him away.

"Tsk." Qu Jinbai remembered something again and became even more unhappy, "Man Xing often asked me why I sent people to chase you down, and I had a few temper tantrums with me. It seems that compared to my uncle, he I like your fake big brother even more."

He insisted on adding the word "false", and the words were not without irony. Yue Manxing had only been in contact with Xu Xiangfei for a year or two, so why did he act like he considered himself a big brother.

Qu Jinbai couldn't figure it out, and thought that the Yue family might be bewitched, bewitching his own nephew.

"What does Man Xing think? That's Man Xing's business. I'm just doing what a big brother should do. If the leader thinks that Man Xing is biased towards me, shouldn't I reflect on what I didn't do well?"

"You—" Qu Jinbai straightened up abruptly, "You are quite courageous, dare to say this in front of me!"

Xu Xiangfei was calm and composed, and asked in turn: "Since the leader loves Man Xing, naturally he won't touch me. Besides, has the leader ever thought about why Man Xing is always so preoccupied, and his letters are full of worries?"

He didn't believe that Yue Manxing hadn't read the letter song written by him today.

Of course Qu Jinbai had seen it, he knew that in Yue Manxing's heart, the Yue family was closer.

He can't say anything for the time being, doesn't mean he can't read what his nephew wrote, right?

This place is all his!

"If you're talking about this, it's meaningless. Why did you come to Jing County? Is it possible that you just want to see Manxing?"

Xu Xiangfei was surprised: "Of course, as the eldest brother, I'll come and see how Man Xing is doing. Isn't that okay too?"

"Why... are you still afraid that I will wrong Man Xing?"

Xu Xiangfei smiled: "It's up to Manxing himself to say that."

He just made up his mind to see Yue Manxing, Qu Jinbai looked at him for a while, and thought it would be okay to meet him.

Isn't Xingxing unhappy because he can't see the people from before, so now that he has found Xu Xiangfei, it can be regarded as fulfilling Yue Manxing's wish!

Qu Jinbai is not afraid that something will happen to Xu Xiangfei, if he doesn't have the guts, he is not worthy to be the leader.

"In that case... I'll let you go and see Man Xing."

Xu Xiangfei got up and saluted: "Thank you, Master."
