Reborn Enemy

That woman is Qi Wan'er's older sister, Qi Yanfeng.As for why she walked with Yuan's people, it's not surprising. The big families are related to each other. The mother of Qi Wan'er's siblings is Yuan's legitimate daughter. It is estimated that Qi Yanfeng came to his uncle's house this time, just in time for the arrival of Gu Lin. matter, followed in.

"It turned out to be my cousin. Sure enough, the female college student has changed. I haven't seen you for many years. I almost didn't recognize it." Duan Qingming walked forward with a smile, his handsome face was gentle and amiable, just like a kind brother, "I took you with me when I was young." Go to the Tianchi Lake to catch fish, and in a blink of an eye, you will be so big."

"Yes... yes!" Qi Yanfeng was very shy, he didn't dare to lift his head in front of him, "The sixth cousin has also changed, I just looked like it, so I tried to shout... It's really you."

Duan Qingming asked: "Are you coming out alone?"

Yuan Xiao next to him coughed, before he could speak, Qi Yanfeng said "um", and finally raised his face: "I was going to my uncle's house, cousin Liu, have you seen Wan'er?"

Duan Qingming said: "I met him in Haijing. Didn't he go back with Grandpa Ling? Why, did he really run away from marriage?"

Tears welled up in his beautiful eyes, Qi Yanfeng took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and said with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "The Patriarch and the others have asked many people to find them, but I'm worried...do you know where he went?"

Duan Qingming frowned: "I don't know."

Gu Pinglin watched it interestingly.

This Qi Yanfeng covered his face with a handkerchief and cried, but he was also secretly observing Duan Qingming's expression. This girl is not as weak as she appears on the surface, she is very careful, but compared to Duan Qingming's ability to pretend, she is still too tender?

"Don't worry, cousin Wan'er will be fine." Duan Qingming patted her on the back to comfort her.

Yuan Xiao finally found a chance to speak, and pulled Qi Yanfeng to his side without hesitation: "Exactly, my thirteenth cousin has excellent swordsmanship at a young age, and he also has a magic weapon for protecting himself. Who can hurt him? Don't worry. "

Qi Yanfeng stopped crying and nodded.

Duan Qingming suddenly thought of something: "Oh, I'm afraid he stayed in the sea..."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yanfeng's tears fell down again: "Then... what should I do?"

How dangerous the sea is, the inner alchemy major repairer must be more cautious when acting alone. Qi Wan'er has been practicing since she was a child, and has taken advantage of the resources of the Qi family. She has only just formed the outer alchemy. How can she stay in the sea alone!

"Cousin!" Yuan Xiao was flustered.

"I'm just guessing, it may not be true," Duan Qingming reacted, "I think Cousin Wan'er is not a person who doesn't know the importance."

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but when he said it, Qi Yanfeng cried even harder.

Qi Wan'er has always been capricious, knowing what's serious?Since he can't find it anywhere else, it is very likely that he is in the sea.

"Good cousin, you... don't cry..." Yuan Xiao was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, he turned straight around Qi Yanfeng, how could he have the slightest arrogance, that kind of courteousness that even Gu Pinglin and others couldn't bear to look directly at.

Duan Qingming stood by and watched for a while, then said slowly: "How could my cousin come into the ancient forest?"

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to be anxious, Qi Yanfeng still understands the truth, he stopped crying when he heard the words, and replied with sobs: "I heard that Gu Lin had a vision, uncle asked my cousin to bring me here first, do you want to go too?"

"Exactly."

"Then..." Qi Yanfeng looked at Yuan Xiao hesitantly.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, Yuan Xiao actually put down his airs, and took the initiative to lightly say to Duan: "I didn't expect to be brother Duan, so I offended you so much. In the early years, my uncle praised you for your extraordinary talent. Unexpectedly, you joined the Spiritual Mind School. I thought you In the Xuanming sect..." He sighed regretfully.

Duan Qingming smiled: "Tao lies in people's hearts, where is it not cultivation?"

"That's right," Yuan Xiao nodded with dignity, and there was still a hint of disdain in his eyes. He continued to get to the point, "I just heard what you said. Do you know the way?"

Duan Qingming said: "I do know a shortcut to the place of vision."

Yuan Xiao was overjoyed: "Really?"

Duan Qingming sent out an invitation in a considerate manner: "Brother Yuan, if you don't mind, you might as well go with me."

"Then we'll be cheeky and take advantage of it," Yuan Xiao hooked his lips, feeling a little embarrassed, "It's just that my father told me to protect my cousin. As for them, their cultivation bases are not high..."

Duan Qingming smiled and said: "Hey, they are all relatives, why be polite, we will open the way ahead, you just follow carefully."

Opening the way ahead is the most dangerous, and Yuan Xiao didn't expect him to be so happy, taking care of everything, secretly mocking him for not knowing the heights of heaven and earth, but on the face he breathed a sigh of relief, and praised: "The Lingxin School's swordsmanship is extraordinary, I have heard of it for a long time. , then I’ll have to thank you.”

Duan Qingming said a few words of humility, and walked back to Pinglin's side meanderingly.

Qi Yanfeng looked at his figure, hesitated to speak, but was dragged away by Yuan Xiao.

Cheng Yi grew up in the ancient forest since he was a child, and he knows the way of survival in the ancient forest best. The road he chose is relatively safe. Everyone walked for a day without encountering any fierce beasts. There were only a few groups of high-level monsters. People made marks along the way to guide the Yuan's children behind.

Yuan Xiao Qi Yanfeng's intentions can be seen by blind people, but Qi Yanfeng's attitude towards him is very ordinary, instead he often comes to talk to Duan Qingming. Duan Qingming didn't take Duan Qingming seriously at first, but now it is inevitable that he harbors resentment, Duan Qingming didn't notice it, and chatted and laughed happily with everyone in the Yuan family as usual, Yuan Xiao had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened for the sake of his family's demeanor.

At dusk, everyone stopped and rested at the col.

"What are they doing?" Yan Sen was very dissatisfied when everyone from the Yuan family joined in, and negotiated with Duan Qingming, "Let's talk about it first, I don't care about others!"

Duan Qingming said: "Of course, they came here voluntarily, and they are also helpers when necessary."

Yan Sen laughed strangely: "I just said that you kid has no good intentions. That delicate girl seems to call you cousin, are you willing?"

"Hey," Duan Qingming moved to Gu Pinglin's side and turned the fire, "Of course I am concerned. This does not conflict with helping. It is safer if there are more people, let alone relatives. It is my responsibility to tell them this road. sincerity."

Yan Sen sneered.

"Yuan Xiao is a master of internal alchemy. If you use him, you won't be afraid of being backlashed?" Gu Pinglin held a branch and tapped the ground lightly, "He has a heart for the Qi family, and he will probably find an opportunity to get rid of you."

Duan Qingming said: "Then what do you think?"

Gu Pinglin said: "He wants to kill you, what does it have to do with me?"

"We are friendly brothers, if he wants to kill me, how can he bypass you?" Duan Qingming took the branch in his hand, "When necessary, he will kill everyone to silence everyone, aren't you afraid?"

Gu Pinglin laughed: "Don't be afraid, with you here, it's you who will go up first."

"Good idea," Duan Qingming threw a piece of firewood into the fire, "I'm not afraid either, with Senior Yan here, I believe he will go on top first."

Yan Sen was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, when he heard the words he was very angry: "I'm ignoring your ancestors!"

"Senior has good ears," Duan Qingming said with a smile, "it's just that he loses his temper too easily. He's old, so he should take care of his health."

The veins on his forehead were throbbing, Yan Sen simply turned his back and went to meditate, out of sight and out of mind.

"I just remind you," Gu Pinglin's voice faded, "remember your promise."

"here we go again."

……

While the two were talking, Yuan Xiao's voice came from the other side: "This road is indeed safe, and there are no beasts."

Cheng Yi hurriedly said: "No, there are fewer beasts on this road, but there are a few difficult ones to deal with. The rabbit that Senior Xin mentioned is just ahead."

When mentioning the rabbit, Xin Ji hastily interrupted: "What is there..."

"What rabbit?" Duan Qingming heard it just in time, and turned around to ask.

"Very cunning rabbits," Cheng Yi pointed at Xin Ji, then at Yan Sen, "They were fooled by little bastards."

Duan Qingming suddenly looked strange.

Gu Pinglin glanced at him with a half-smile and raised his eyebrows.

Xin Ji complained secretly, but Yan Sen didn't think much of it, with an expression of "that's what I said".

Fortunately, Duan Qingming quickly returned to normal, and he didn't care about it, and said slowly: "Oh, so they can't even compare with little bastards, they are so stupid."

"Yes... oh." Cheng Yi thought for a while, agreed, and was frightened by Yan Sen's ferocious eyes, and patted his head inexplicably.

"It's still early, I'll go ahead to explore the way." Xin Ji coughed in embarrassment, turned into black air, and fled away.

"Hey, you can't fly!" Cheng Yi said, "There's a bastard!"

Now Xin Ji held his breath when he heard these words, ran faster, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that the little bastard is very powerful," Gu Pinglin looked at the direction he was going, with a dignified tone, without the slightest joking, "I hope he won't suffer."

Cheng Yi panicked even more, jumped up and shouted: "What should I do? There is a rabbit, call him back!"

The country boy didn't know.When Yuan Xiao heard it, he couldn't help but sneered, but he also knew that Cheng Yi was the guide, so he was quite polite: "Little brother, don't be afraid, I'll have someone catch ten spirit rabbits for you someday."

Cheng Yi shook his head again and again: "No, the rabbit is very powerful."

"I know," Yuan Xiao comforted him impatiently, "Don't worry, with us here, the rabbit can't hurt you."

All the monks of the Yuan family laughed.

Cheng Yi wanted to say more, but Duan Qingming stopped him: "Don't worry, Senior Xin will be fine."

"Oh." Cheng Yi was convinced of his words, and really became quiet.

Qi Yanfeng looked this way with his head, and then walked over cautiously, his voice was as thin as a mosquito's, "Sixth Cousin."

"Cousin," Duan Qingming motioned her to sit down, "what's the matter?"

Qi Yanfeng shook her head and sat down next to her. She bit her lip for a long time, and suddenly waved her hand to create a barrier: "No, I heard that you are very good at swordsmanship. I... just want to ask."

In the aristocratic family, the value of a woman lies mostly in marriage. She is an outsider, and usually cannot learn the advanced swordsmanship of her family. Her previous move "Lingshan Muyu" is obviously incomplete. It should be practiced in private, and she has not formed the outer pill yet. , it can be seen that she is far less valued than Qi Wan'er in the clan, and her resources are limited, which is also helpless.

Duan Qingming said: "I know a thing or two, if you don't mind, please tell me."

But Qi Yanfeng blushed, lowered his head and said nothing, just casually broke a small stick from a nearby branch, and scratched it randomly on the ground beside his feet.

Gu Pinglin glanced at it and secretly praised it.

The seemingly chaotic strokes are actually deformed sword drawings, what a clever woman!She learned Qi's advanced sword moves privately, deliberately avoiding Yuan Xiao's eyes and ears.

"The shape turns into rain, and if it is scattered, how can it be reunited?"

"Scattered is not scattered, it is combined."

"When will it be?"

"If you want to return, then return."

One of the two looked down at the ground, looking absent-minded, and wiped away the marks with his feet from time to time; the other answered kindly, showing the brother's friendliness. From the outside, no one would be suspicious.

At this moment, it seemed that the quarrel between Qi's family and Duan Qingming had never existed, Qi Yanfeng was engrossed, asked very detailed questions, and had nothing to hide from his mind.

Putting aside grudges and having no distractions is the devotion of the swordsman to the way of the sword.

Duan Qingming is not perfunctory and reserved, every sentence hits the point, the strong are confident, nothing is better than this.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Gu Pinglin was a little lost in thought.

"It seems that you put a lot of thought into this trick, but unfortunately, two swords are still wrong."

"A sword is a weapon for killing. Is a sword that traps people also called a sword?"

"Mediocre swordsmanship, no matter how you improve it, it's still mediocre."

"What do you say, Head Gu?"

……

Even if it was an opponent, that person never minded to remind him, and monopolized the peak of swordsmanship with an arrogant attitude, not afraid that the opponent would become stronger, but only that the opponent would not be strong enough.

Aware of being watched, his black eyes glanced over with a half-smile, Gu Pinglin withdrew his gaze, and glanced at Yuan Shi without any trace.

Yuan Xiao straightened up and stared at Duan Qingming with gloomy eyes.

Gu Pinglin said happily: "Trouble upper body."

Duan Qingming said: "I'm in trouble, and you're so happy?"

"It's not happy, it's gloating."

Finally, Qi Yanfeng randomly scratched the ground with a wooden stick a few times, scratching the ground in a mess. She raised her face, tears filled her eyelashes: "You also taught me when I was young, I... like swords very much."

"It's rare for a woman to be able to concentrate on the way of swordsmanship," Duan Qingming nodded and said, "If you have any questions, you might as well ask cousin Wan'er."

"He taught me." Thinking of his younger brother's whereabouts, Qi Yanfeng took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears again, sobbing, "If he really stays in the sea, but... what should I do!"

Gu Pinglin said: "Don't worry, the thirteenth son should not be in the sea."

Qi Yanfeng looked at him with tears in his eyes: "You..."

"Spiritualist, Gu Pinglin."

"You are Mr. Gu? The Mr. Gu who rescued Wan'er in the sea bone pit?" Qi Yanfeng was delighted, tears continued to flow down his cheeks, "Do you know where my brother is?"

"I don't know," Gu Pinglin said, "but before I saw him, I had a very happy conversation with Mr. Yao Feng. Not long after leaving the sea, Mr. Yao left."

Qi Yanfeng stood up suddenly, stopped crying, thought for a while and shook his head: "The land outside the mountain is not allowed to enter, it's impossible."

Gu Pinglin asked: "If you find him, what will you do?"

"Marriage is not counted, of course I want to bring him back..." Qi Yanfeng seemed to think of something when he said this, and said softly, "He is too whimsical, and the grandfather and the head of the family are also doing it for his own good."

Gu Pinglin asked again: "Do you want to stop it?"

It's not hard to guess what happened, Hai Jing and his party, Qi Wan'er showed her intention to create a new move many times, which in the eyes of others is completely worth the candle, the failure of the new move, the cost is too high, how can Patriarch Qi allow him to call the shots?Qi Wan'er is not just escaping marriage this time, but is trying to break free from the shackles of the Qi family, betting her own way on a possible new swordsmanship, going forward without leaving a way out.

As someone who is also dedicated to swordsmanship, Qi Yanfeng did not answer immediately. She stared at Gu Pinglin for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears covering her face.

Gu Pinglin couldn't laugh or cry.

This girl was made of tears. No wonder Duan Qingming taught her swordsmanship back then. It is estimated that [-]% of it was because it was fun to watch her practice sword while crying.

"Okay," Duan Qingming said, "Seeing that you shed tears for nothing, brother Yuan is coming to ask for guilt."

Sure enough, Yuan Xiao over there was full of nervousness and got up from the chair.

"I... I'll pass, cousin, be careful." Qi Yanfeng covered his face halfway with a veil, cried while withdrawing the barrier, and walked back to Yuan Xiao's side.

"Are you okay, why are you crying again?" Yuan Xiao took her hand, feeling very distressed.

Before Qi Yanfeng could answer, a monk from the Yuan family suddenly raised his finger to the sky and exclaimed, "What is that?"

A large piece of dark cloud was drifting in the sky at an extremely fast speed, and there was a faint bloody light in it. Under the cloud layer, a figure was rushing towards this side in embarrassment.
