Death Princess

Cold sweat dripped down the tip of Wumian's nose, and landed on the tip of the sword with a ticking sound.This was the first time he faced death so directly after he became the master of the dark pavilion, and it was also the first time that he was completely overwhelmed in momentum and speed by a young man who had beaten him for a round or two.

But who knows, this tense atmosphere didn't last long before it was resolved by the instigator himself.Before Wumian and Jiang Tang could react from the shock, and before Wumian made any substantive actions, Zhao Lu showed an indescribable smile, shed the coercion, put away the tip of her sword, and turned around , swipe and threw the sword into the scabbard at Wei Zhuoer's waist in the distance.

"Zo Er, Zhuo Er, how many times have I told you," Zhao Lu said while doing these movements accurately, "The sword must be fastened, otherwise it will fly out accidentally and accidentally injure you." Human. Look, if it wasn't for my sharp eyes and quick hands just now, wouldn't this sword have to stab Master Wu Pavilion right through?"

Your sword will fly out and stab people by itself?

Wei Zhuoer twitched the corners of his mouth again and again, and after a while he choked out a sound from his stomach: "Yes."

"Pfft..." Wen Yihai held back his laughter for a long time, but finally let it out uncontrollably.

Wumian's complexion has become extremely ugly, the mission failed, the cold eyes were taken away, and he made mistakes one after another. He even made a transaction right now, and was humiliated by Jianzong in various ways one after another in front of the sect master.If Jiang Tang hadn't been calming down, he would have exploded long ago.

"Master Wu Pavilion, you too, the knife, but you must hang it up." Zhao Lu smiled and returned the knife to Wumian, and when she let go, she didn't forget to tap the handle of the knife with the mission file.

No matter how stupid and impulsive Wu Mian was, he could see the obvious warning from Zhao Lu's actions - don't fool people, there is something wrong with the name on the mission file.

It was clear on the foggy face that Jiang Tang must have tampered with the scroll, and the young suzerain couldn't vent to Jiang Tang, so he had no choice but to criticize Huai by himself.Thinking of this, Wu Mian subconsciously looked at Jiang Tang's expression, only to find that the other party only smiled lightly as if he had heard some meaningless joke, and returned to the guest seat indifferently.

. . .

Leng Tong who was not far away also captured this scene exactly in his eyes. This was the first time that Zhao Lu showed his strength in front of her. Although it was only a short half cup of tea, it was enough to shock Leng Tong.Leng Tong couldn't be more clear about the depth of the foggy surface. She could suppress him with one move like Cai Cai just now, even if she took advantage of the unpreparedness to suppress him first, Leng Tong also felt that it was impossible for her to do it herself. .

Chao Lu's martial arts are far above Leng Tong, or in other words, there is something not martial arts about Zhao Lu that makes her martial arts far above Leng Tong.The reason why Leng Tong thinks this way is because looking at the pavilion from this angle, she clearly saw how Zhao Lu took the knife and sword in her hand with a flick of her fingers.She is very convinced that no matter how deep the inner strength is, it is impossible to get things from a distance like Chao Lu just now, just as she is very sure that no matter how high the martial arts is, it is impossible for someone to do what Chao Lu did in the first-line world. , Touch the blade and bring yourself down.

This morning reveals to the end...

Leng Tong glanced at Han Shuangxue beside him from the corner of his eye, but saw that the other party just blinked his eyes as usual at the scene just now, and didn't care about the small gully in Leng Tong's heart.

Did they show this to themselves on purpose?What is the purpose of doing this?What kind of strange tricks did Chaolu use just now?

Strange art...

With a sudden twitch in his temple, Leng Tong thought of the fire ten years ago, and those Yi Cultists who could create fire out of thin air.

. . .

"I don't know the rumors in the rivers and lakes, Jianzong is willing to dedicate the secret technique to the new martial arts leader." Here, Jiang Tang and Zhao Lu, who have already taken their seats, started the next round of probing, "The secret technique is really in Jianzong? Young Sect Master, are you really willing to donate it? Did the Sect Master agree to this matter?"

Chao Lu waved his hand, signaling to Jiang Tang not to ask so many questions in one breath, he would answer slowly, and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow, how can I, Chao Lu, be a fickle person? Don't hide it. Sect master Jiang, you said, that secret technique." She propped up one leg mysteriously, leaned forward on the table, and whispered close to Jiang Tang, "It was indeed in the hands of my father, and my father was as early as three years ago So I passed it on to me, and I can dispose of it as I like, whether it is for my own practice or for other purposes."

"How about it," patted the table lightly, Chao Lu sat back with legs crossed, hesitantly dropped the taste of Jiang Tang and fog noodles several times before saying, "How about I really have poor understanding, it took me three whole days Nian can only understand a little bit of that inner skill, "smacking his lips pretending to be regretful, "So, I thought, since this secret technique is useless in my hands, it's better to use it Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, dedicating it to the future lord of the alliance, firstly, to find a good place for this secret technique, secondly, to express the sincerity of our Sword Sect."

Mystery?Inner skills?Can only penetrate one or two?Then... Could it be that the dew emissary just now was a secret technique?

After a while, "Sect Master Chao is really a young talent," Jiang Tang responded politely, "Come on, I will serve tea to Master Sect Master."

"Jiang Sect Leader's praise." Zhao Lu picked up the teacup with a smile, as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.

. . .

After Jiang Tang and Wu Mian left, Han Shuangxue returned to the pavilion with Leng Tong.At this time, Wen Yihai and Wei Zhuoer had disappeared, leaving only Chao Lu sitting on the steps, lazily looking at the task file that Wu Mian had just obtained.

When he came to the gazebo and looked at the same face from close up again, Leng Tong's mood was completely different.

She was still so informal and full of nonsense, but just because her surname changed from "Liu" to "Chao", all these nonsense and seemingly absurd behaviors were attached with deep meaning.

Chao Lu's seemingly nonsensical behavior just now was nothing more than trying to warn Jiang Tang, telling him that she knew there was something wrong with the file.Then, what about Chao Lu's previous behavior in front of her, is there any deep meaning?Leng Tong couldn't stop the doubt in her heart and the pain of being betrayed.Although, she didn't know exactly what Zhaolu had betrayed herself, as an assassin, what could Zhaolu, the young lord of the Sword Sect, betray.

Suddenly, Zhao Lu raised her hand and threw the scroll into the brazier.

At the moment when she raised her hand, when the sleeve slipped off, Leng Tong saw the bandage on Zhao Lu's left arm, and also saw the blood on the bandage.Then, Leng Tong keenly discovered that Zhao Lu's complexion was indeed a little pale compared to a few days ago.

That blood, did he split the wound when he grabbed her just now?It turned out that her injury was real?

Leng Tong remembered the inn fire a few days ago, remembered the charred corpses, remembered her collapse at that time, remembered... She felt like a fool, worrying about herself Feeling, being angry, being betrayed, but the other party doesn't know or care at all.

"Ah! Why did you burn it?" Han Shuangxue rushed forward with trembling hands, and fished out the volume that hadn't been burned much from the brazier.

"Oh? Shuangxue, do you want to keep it?" Zhao Lu raised the corner of her mouth, and looked meaningfully at Han Shuangxue who was about to open the file, "Keep it for my parents and your parents to read?"

Looking at this expression, Leng Tong knew that Zhao Lu was playing tricks again.But the next moment, Leng Tong was annoyed by her own thoughts.

Leng Tong, it's not clear that she and you are enemies, why do you care about her so much?why do you...

You're a knife, you don't deserve to have...

"What?! Absurd!! What nonsense!!" Han Shuangxue, who had just read the contents of the scroll, changed her attitude abruptly. She threw the scroll back into the brazier and stirred it with the scabbard, afraid As if burning endlessly, "The assassination of the young master of Jianzong was entrusted by Xue Minggu?? If this shadow sect wants to fool people, they don't have to come up with such a stupid method?"

"Stupid? Why do you know that? How could it be a stupid move to kill two birds with one stone?" Zhao Lu raised her eyebrows.

"Two birds with one stone?" Han Shuangxue stomped her feet angrily.

Zhao Lu didn't explain, but shrugged at Leng Tong, as if she believed that Leng Tong could understand her words, and said to Leng Tong: "We don't have the same knowledge as idiots".

Han Shuangxue followed the morning dew, and shifted her unkind eyes to Leng Tong's face.

Leng Tong didn't know how she was involved in the dispute between the young master of Jianzong and the young master of Xueming Valley, but she couldn't bear Han Shuangxue's gaze, so she had to explain for Chao Lu: "Outsiders only know the relationship between Jianzong and Xueminggu. Xueminggu has a good relationship, but I don't know how good your relationship is. Xueminggu is the place where the dead are brought back to life, and Jianzong is the number one sect. There are people in the Jianghu who can't see the two great gates of the Jianghu I have a good relationship with my sect..."

"Huh? Sowing dissension? Killing two birds with one stone," Leng Tong nodded, and Han Shuangxue understood, "Not only did you get rid of the siege of being blamed by Jianzong, but you can also easily provoke the relationship between Jianzong and Xueminggu? Are you people from the Shadow Sect? It's really whimsical. How can the relationship between Jianzong and Xueminggu be provoked by one assassination?"

Leng Tong avoided Han Shuangxue's eyes in embarrassment.How could she, a little assassin, be allowed to talk about the matter of Shadow Gate here?

"Me? Spend a lot of money to buy a hidden pavilion to assassinate her?" Han Shuangxue pointed to her nose, and then pointed to Chaolu who was happily beside her, "Ancestor, I also want to have this money. If you have this gold, take it Killing her is better than using it to buy medicinal herbs. The world only knows the rumors and gossip between the master Jianzong and my master, why no one cares, what is the mother's name of my young master? If I dare to do something to her, no need Master takes action, my mother must kill me first."

The young master of Xueming Valley, mother's surname?Leng Tong carefully looked at the faces of these two people, and vaguely found that there were five or six points of resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes.

Could it be...

But why are they telling themselves this?

"Well, good idea," Zhao Lu didn't care what Leng Tong was thinking, but took out another file from her cuff and continued to tease her cousin, "Then show it to my aunt, Let her kill you." As he spoke, he held the file and made a gesture of leaving.

"Hey!" Han Shuangxue looked down at the brazier, but found that the thing that was still burning just now had disappeared. Being bullied by her sister, "Sister Lu..." changed her attitude.She acted coquettishly.

"Well, how about this," Zhao Lu tapped her chin with the file thoughtfully, "You call me cousin, and I won't take this thing to my aunt."

"..."

"Is it so difficult to call you my cousin? Although I am your cousin according to the seniority of the genealogy, but according to the seniority of the blood, I am really your cousin, Xiao Shuangxue, you are not bad." Zhao Lu smirked .

Here, the two sisters had a great time, and they seemed to have forgotten the existence of Leng Tong, an outsider, but for Yu Leng Tong, the joke between the two was added to her doubts.

Is genealogical seniority different from consanguineous seniority?Why is this so?Could it be that one of these two people is not their parents' blood?

The author has something to say:

Well, Zhao Lu and Zhao Hui were indeed not born to Zhao Qing and Liu Yanxue, after all, they couldn't have given birth even if they wanted to...

(La la la, unexpected addition~)
