Ruan Xuezong didn't know that tens of thousands of spectators were watching as he ate and drank.

After he finished eating, two batches of players said they had found a clue, and he got up immediately.The first group of players found the deaf-mute old servant, and the second group of players found the portrait.

Ruan Xuezong didn't know how to clone himself, so he had to go in order.

It was a hunchbacked old servant, wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes, silently sweeping fallen leaves.Seeing that the hair on the temples was slightly white, he was obviously a deaf-mute who was nearly seventy years old, but when Ruan Xuezong and a group of level 20 players walked near the wife's yard, the other party immediately raised his head.

This may be people who practice martial arts-blindness does not mean blindness, deafness does not mean deafness, and hoarseness does not mean that one cannot make injustice in this life.

Seeing Ruan Xuezong approaching, the sweeping old servant looked at him with unfamiliar and doubtful eyes, with a strange expression on his face.

Thinking that Ruan Xuezong didn't know him, the players introduced him: "Zongzong, the information we obtained at Peacock Villa said that this dumb uncle took care of Mrs. Qu when he was young, and was Mrs. Qu's dowry to Peacock Villa. He was originally a normal person. Later, I don’t know what happened, and I became deaf and dumb... We tried all of them one by one, but this old gentleman can’t hear or speak!”

However, Ruan Xuezong knew each other from the same birthday banquet in Peacock Villa in his previous life.

The conflict had erupted so quickly then, and he had somehow been poisoned.

His left cheek was necrotic due to the fire, and he looked like a man and a ghost. In addition, his mouth and nose were bleeding continuously, so no one dared to approach him.After that, good shows happened again and again, and no one cared about him.

Ruan Xuezong was sitting in a wheelchair, breathing weakly, almost turning into a puddle of mud.Just when he thought that his soul was about to return to his destiny, the old servant who swept the floor appeared silently.

Maybe it was because Ruan Xuezong was disfigured and ugly like a ghost, but it was still a life. This old servant couldn't see a life being lost, or for some other reason, the other party appeared silently and saved him silently.

If Peacock Villa was filled with endless malice and indifference towards him in his previous life, then the only kindness was this old servant.It was later that Ruan Xuezong learned that there are some top masters born with arrogance, the other party could be proud of the world and be at ease, but for some people and some things, they are willing to stay in one side of the world, and since then they have disappeared from everyone.

Seeing that Ruan Xuezong's eyes were strange, but there was still no movement, the old servant who swept the floor silently lowered his head, swept the fallen leaves in front of him, and returned to the initial state, as if this group of people had never appeared.

No matter how the players danced and gestured, the old servant who swept the floor turned a deaf ear to it, but everyone knew that the clue was in front of them, which made them feel powerless as if they had hit the cotton with their fists.

Ruan Xuezong said: "Actually... this old gentleman can hear and talk, but he just doesn't want to hear or talk."

Just like some people, there is nothing more sad than death, so they can watch love and hatred being staged in front of them, and they can also watch a century-old villa sink, as if they were not a member of the ship.

Of course, Ruan Xuezong didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in this life, to add a boost to the Demon Sect, he hoped to wake up this old servant.

"This old gentleman is very old. He should know ninety-nine percent of the secrets of Peacock Villa. If you want to ask him for help, then show what you are best at." Ruan Xuezong gave the players a hint with his eyes.

The players understood: Ah!Isn't what they are best at touching porcelain, ah no, is it showing weakness!

So they ran over one after another, went under the old man's broom, twisted their feet, and fell down: "Oh, I fell!"

The sweeping old servant: "..."

Could it be that this group of young Jianghu young men treat him, an old man, as a fool?

No matter how the players howled and rolled, the old servant who swept the floor remained silent. Seeing that the plan was about to fail, a player suddenly staggered into the courtyard.

His physical condition looked very bad, his face was pale, his pupils were dilated, and the corners of his mouth kept bleeding. He stared at Ruan Xuezong sadly, shouted "Young Master", and then slowly fell down.

Anyone can see that this person has been poisoned.If you don't give treatment, you may die soon.

The face of the sweeping old servant changed slightly, and he looked at Ruan Xuezong all of a sudden, but Ruan Xuezong stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes behind the mask were as dark as night, and he didn't intend to help him.

This made the sweeping old servant sigh in his heart that all beauties are cold and vicious.

Seeing a flash of his robe, he helped the player who fell on the ground, and touched the big acupoints all over the opponent's body to stop the surging poison in his body.

Finding that the plan was successful, the Salted Fish King glanced at Ruan Xuezong, his eyes were wet, as if he wanted to ask for a reward.

'You did very well. Ruan Xuezong nodded slightly, and sent ten favorability points down. After the salty fish king received the favorability points, he found that he had returned to the top of the list, and lay down more peacefully in an instant.

The bitter trick allowed him to sneak into the yard of the old servant sweeping the floor.

However, it was precisely this look that misunderstood the old servant who swept the floor even more. He lamented that beauty is like a knife and a bow. risk, but also to help him achieve his goal.

Just like Qu Tianwei back then, this world is really 40 years since he drew his sword and left, and there is nothing new under the sun in these 40 years.

After the players have successfully mixed in, the sweeping old servant no longer pretends to be deaf and dumb.

After he detoxified the salted fish king, he said coldly: "I know the purpose of your visit is to inquire about some things about Peacock Villa. I can tell you, but you must not disturb Madam's peace."

The NPCs in the plot are all arrogant, and they will say a part of the speech and hide the part. The players all expressed their understanding and just wanted to nod and say "OK, ok".

Ruan Xuezong said, "I'm afraid this is impossible."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense, the scalps of the players were numb, and the sudden aura released by the sweeping old man made a group of level 20 players almost unable to breathe. They looked at their status bar in shock, "Damn it, lose 5% every second Internal force, we are injured internally!"

"Sure enough, in the world of martial arts, you can't underestimate every sweeper!"

Ruan Xuezong: "Old man, no matter how much you pretend nothing happened, you can no longer change the actions of Peacock Villa in recent years. I'm afraid you have already noticed the movement of Peacock Villa during this period... How can there be eggs under the overturned nest?" ? If the giant ship Peacock Villa is destroyed, how can you pretend to be deaf and dumb to ensure the safety of your wife for the rest of her life?"

What he said was blunt and pungent, the players half understood, and the sweeping old servant remained silent.

At this moment, a figure of a middle-aged woman came out from behind the bead curtain. This figure was no longer in her twenties or eight years, but she still had a trace of charm, and there was a faint sigh.

It was the mysterious Mrs. Qu.

The players were refreshed, this, this is the master came out!

"Master Ruan is right. I have been cowardly all these years." Madam walked out of the bead curtain, revealing a small half of her gentle side face, "So... let me tell you a story, Young Hero."

[The mission "The past of Peacock Villa" has been triggered]

[Mission introduction: Mrs. Qu wants to tell a story about the past. There are love-hate entanglements and life experiences of her children in this story. Mrs. Qu's voice is melodious. It may take a while to tell the story, young heroes please listen carefully! 】

[Task rewards: 3000 experience points, 70% plot exploration, 10 favorability points for Ruan Xuezong, 10 favorability points for the sweeping old man, 10 favorability points for Mrs. Qu]

[Task number: unlimited]

The players sat down obediently, and they all expressed their willingness to listen.Mrs. Qu is a native of Jinling. She speaks in a calm and unhurried voice, full of the moving charm of musical instruments.

Mrs. Qu recalled her big wedding back then, when she and Qu Tianwei raised eyebrows. At that time, she had just taken off the red head covering, her face was thinly covered with powder, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of shame.The husband praised her as the most beautiful woman in the world, and said that the peacock is the most beautiful bird in the world, and it has a beautiful meaning of good luck. They will grow old together in Peacock Villa.

They have a son, Qu Qingyang.

At first, the days were peaceful and happy like this, until one day, a woman with a graceful figure and a veil appeared, she said that she was being hunted down and sought refuge in the Peacock Villa.

Mrs. Qu said: "I remember her initial appearance. She was dressed in ink and green clothes. Those who chased and killed her were all righteous people. This is obviously not a good woman... Since then, Qu Tianwei has changed, he has become distraught, he said, Shan It's the eyebrows gathered together, the water is the eyes, this woman crashed into his arms like a green mountain, he can't think of retiring anymore, he said that a man in the rivers and lakes should drink the strongest wine and fall in love with the most beautiful people."

The players could all hear that Mrs. Qu's voice had changed, becoming stiff, lost and even resentful, and the players could roughly guess what happened afterwards.

"This woman has countless enemies with unknown origins, but Qu Tianwei doesn't mind at all. Even after the other party abandoned him after a toy, he never forgets it." Thinking of this, Mrs. Qu smiled bitterly, "Then one day, that The woman suddenly came to Peacock Villa with an infant child in her arms on a thunderstorm day. When she saw my face, she smiled and said it was nothing more than that, she laughed and turned to leave. But the child stayed, and Qu Tianwei never Everything changed, I loved that child like a treasure, my status plummeted, and all I got was the boredom and anger of that man."

Players: ! ! !

Qu Qingyang and Qu Wangshu were not born to the same parents!

"This woman hasn't been seen for more than ten years. It's just that some time ago, she seemed to send a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes to come to the door with her token, and asked Qu Tianwei if he still remembered the friendship back then, and asked Qu Tianwei how many years he has spent. Did they raise their daughter well? After that day, Qu Tianwei became fascinated, determined to make a big fuss about this birthday party, and sent invitations to the world. I could see what he was going to do, but I couldn't stop it... "

Players:! ! !I see.

Ruan Xuezong: "Madam, do you know who that woman is?"

Mrs. Qu shook her head: "I'm not from the Jianghu, so I don't know who that woman is, but I guess that woman must be beautiful to make a man die for her. After the woman left, Qu Tianwei set up a picture scroll The thoughts on the wall day and night, if you want to know, you can go to the study and check it yourself."

[Ding, the task "The past of Peacock Villa" has been completed, and the reward has been sent]

The players immediately followed the clues and prepared to sneak into the forbidden study of Peacock Villa while Qu Tianwei was watching the competition.

Naturally, it is not easy to mix into the forbidden area, but the players are divided into two groups, one team is diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and the other team is already proficient in lurking, and they successfully mixed in after a while.

On the wall of the owner of the village, Qu Tianwei, there was indeed a portrait of a woman. She was dressed in a shining green dress, and she couldn't hide her slender figure.She is about [-] years old, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Qu Wangshu's. The woman smiles outside the painting, she is a young beauty.

The only thing that surprised the players is: the woman in this painting is not that beautiful, no, this statement is wrong, it should be said that it is not as beautiful as they imagined, which is enough to cause trouble... This is too strange!

After thinking about it, they stole the scroll and showed it to Ruan Xuezong.

On the other side, Qu Wangshu, the jewel in the palm of Peacock Villa, threw off the hustle and bustle surrounded by suitors, and walked towards the most beautiful garden in the villa.

There was a man sitting there, with handsome and lazy eyebrows, a black robe casually draped over his body, a bird of prey embroidered with black silk and red thread with its teeth and claws open, and a mighty look, and the quiet sandalwood also covered up a bit of blood, It looks extremely luxurious.

As soon as he stepped into this courtyard, Qu Wangshu saw no one else in his eyes.The man played the piano casually with one hand, and the bewitching sound of the piano echoed in the air.

Hearing a sharp cry, a black eagle happened to land on his shoulder, with the flesh and blood of some unlucky person dangling in its beak, and the flesh and blood were eaten up in a few strokes, which made people shudder.

The man stretched out a bony hand, teasing the eagle lazily, without raising his eyebrows: "My eagle told me that there are a lot of bugs in your villa these days."

Miss Qu Er subconsciously replied: "Those are ants that don't matter. They will die under our sword sooner or later. How can ants and ants compete with the bright moon?" She probably already has a distinction in her heart who is an ant and who is a bright moon.

As if remembering it, the man froze for a moment, then smiled coldly, and stroked the freshly healed wound: "Some people are different after all, don't underestimate him."

Qu Wangshu was stunned for a moment, she was a little concerned, she really wanted to ask, who is he.
