Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

The sky was getting dark, and the birds hadn't returned to their nests yet, and landed on the eaves, leaving black silhouettes one by one.A watchman on the street happened to pass by, and his voice was long, echoing on the bluestone-paved street.

Most of the red candles in the room had been burned, but Lin Rufei didn't feel sleepy, and leaned against the bedside to take a nap with her eyes downcast.He encountered too many things today, his fragile body seemed to be unbearable, and he started coughing again after nightfall, but fortunately, it was not too serious, and he could barely suppress the itching in his throat, so that he would not cough so much that he would lose his breath.

Gu Xuandu leaned against the bed, looked at Lin Rufei's pale cheeks that were abnormally red due to coughing, and her thin shoulders that couldn't stop shaking, and asked considerately: "Do you want some hot water?"

Lin Rufei nodded.

Gu Xuandu took hot water, handed it to Lin Rufei's lips, and watched him swallow it down.

Lin Rufei drank water, which slightly relieved the itching in her throat, but her body was still weak, so she could only lean against the head of the bed to rest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Oh, my body is really troublesome." After some wind, he fell ill again.

Gu Xuan said nothing, stretched out his hand to touch Lin Rufei's forehead, and felt relieved after making sure that he didn't have a fever.

When going down the mountain, the Lin family prepared a lot of medicine for Lin Rufei, the most of which were cough medicines. Lin Rufei took the next dose with hot water, and only then did she feel more comfortable.

"Aren't you sleepy at this late hour?" Gu Xuandu asked.

"Hmm..." Lin Rufei said in a low voice, "I'm a little worried about Fuhua and the others, they won't be able to sleep well."

"It will be fine." Gu Xuandu comforted, "That person is here for you, Fuhua and the others are just hostages to control you, if that person wants to take Fuhua Yurui's life, why bother?" Please take them away quietly."

The two were talking, but there was a thunderstorm outside the window, and then heavy rain suddenly arrived, and in response to the thunder, the entire Xie Mansion was shrouded in a curtain of pouring water.

The sound of rain was rushing, but it couldn't cover up the sound of slowly approaching footsteps. Lin Rufei turned her head to look at the door, and saw the locked wooden door creaking. Restraining the huge force, it shattered with a crunch.

As soon as the door was opened, violent wind and rain rushed in, blowing the whole house into chaos.

Lin Rufei raised her eyes and saw a black figure standing at the door, against the light, she couldn't see clearly, but Lin Rufei had already guessed the identity of the person who came, and calmly called out: "Thank you, Patriarch. "

The person who came stepped forward, raised his hand, and lit the candle that was blown out by the wind and rain just now. The expressionless face under the candlelight was the Patriarch of the Xie family, Xie Wanlin, whom he had seen during the day.

"Patriarch Xie came to visit so late, what's the matter?" Although Lin Rufei guessed a thing or two, she didn't expect Xie Wanlin to come to visit suddenly at this time.

Xie Wanlin said: "I heard that the fourth son of the Lin family was weak and unable to practice swords since he was young. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true after seeing it."

Lin Rufei coughed a few times, and asked hoarsely, "So what?"

Xie Wanlin randomly found a chair and sat down, looking at Lin Rufei wantonly: "The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and the Lin family sent a sick and weak young man who knows nothing to travel down the mountain. If you think about it, if you do it well, there may be accidents. Get ready."

Lin Rufei looked back calmly, Xie Wanlin was supposed to be full of confidence, but stared at by Lin Rufei's eyes, which were lighter than ordinary people, but he flinched a little inexplicably, this flinched without thinking, thank you Wan Lin only thought that he was worrying too much, after all, the young man who was sitting on the bed and coughing in front of him had no sword energy, and was as weak as an ant that could be easily crushed to death.

"There was indeed an accident." Lin Rufei said, "It's just that I never thought that the Patriarch of the Xie family wanted to be this accident."

"Hahahaha." Xie Wanlin laughed loudly, "Mr. Lin is overthinking. In fact, as long as you cooperate, Xie will naturally not attack you."

Lin Rufei said: "What if I don't cooperate?"

Xie Wanlin said indifferently: "Those two beautiful maids have been with you for many years. If they die, Mr. Lin will be very sad."

Lin Rufei's eyes turned cold, and she stared at Xie Wanlin silently.

Xie Wanlin didn't care at all, and continued: "Actually, I have to blame my unfilial son for this matter."

The thunder outside the window is still there, the rain is dripping, and the candlelight in the house is as weak as a firefly in the grass, flickering on and off.Xie Wanlin's appearance resembled the kindness of the next life, but at this moment, this kindness had a gloomy taste.

Lin Rufei leaned against the head of the bed, with a faint smile: "Oh? You have to blame Xie Zhiyao for doing something to my maid?"

Xie Wanlin said, "That's right."

He took off the sword at his waist, slammed it on the table next to him, and said coldly: "If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of Xie Zhiyao, a member of the mother clan, he would have died by the sword of Kongcheng long ago, where would it be my turn to do it?" .”

This statement is quite interesting, if it is the practice of the Xie family to let the sons fight each other, but Xie Wanlin is so partial to his eldest son, if this is the case, then what is the point of such a fight.

Xie Wanlin obviously guessed what Lin Rufei was thinking, and his face gradually became grim: "Yes, if it is possible, I wish I could kill him with a sword—along with the boy he cares about the most."

Lin Rufei looked out of the window and saw the rain covering the sky and the sun. Amidst the thunder, he asked, "Green ear? What did he steal?"

"Ha, guess what?" Xie Wanlin laughed again after saying this, "Steal it? That boy is just a mortal, what can he learn from the study, he just heard something he shouldn't have heard. I ran away." His tone was gloomy, "They should have died long ago, hateful, hateful!!"

As Xie Wanlin spoke, he became angry again, his eyes gradually turned red: "I have pity on my empty city—"

"I know what you guys are thinking, don't you just think I'm biased?" Xie Wanlin sneered, and hammered his chest heavily, "But isn't the heart always biased?! Kongcheng has been by my side since childhood, I raised him up by hand, he should be the next Patriarch of the Xie family, all blame Xie Zhiyao, that evil bastard!!" When he mentioned the emotion, he roared, and then burst into tears, crying out in grief : "My empty city—it was hastily buried without even having a decent funeral, my poor empty city—"

If Xie Wanlin was cruel-hearted, he was really cruel-hearted, wishing that Xie Zhiyao would die suddenly, but as far as Xie Kongcheng was concerned, Xie Wanlin was a qualified loving relative.It's a pity that everyone has their own fate, Xie Kongcheng still failed to escape what he should have, and was killed by Xie Zhiyao with the bone sword.

In order not to let others know about the dirty things of the Xie family, the Xie family members who died in this competition cannot hold funerals. They can only be buried in a hurry at night, and even the place where they are buried is also an unknown piece. Deserted stele.This was a huge blow to Xie Wanlin who loved Xie Kongcheng dearly.

Xie Wanlin's old and mournful appearance seemed a bit pitiful, but in the end it proved that a poor person must have something to hate. He only had Xie Kongcheng as his son in his heart, but Xie Kongcheng still died in Xie Kongcheng. under the sword of the demon.

"Why didn't you kill Xie Zhiyao?" Seeing Xie Wanlin's indignation, Lin Rufei wondered, "Your cultivation base is so much higher than Xie Zhiyao's, so it is very easy to kill him thing."

"I really want to." Xie Wanlin gritted his teeth, "It's a pity that there are some things that can be done without thinking."

It seems that there may be some restrictions on him, and he can't take action against Xie Zhiyao openly, so he tried to torment Xie Zhiyao instead, and even drove Xie Zhiyao to the ancestral hall to be punished the night before the final battle, hoping that he would be punished in the second day. Ri and Xie Ji lost in the competition.

The thunder outside the window was even heavier, and the bright gold wires streaked across the dark sky, falling one after another, hurting people's eyes.

The conversation in the house continued.

Lin Rufei said: "You shot at me just because I am Xie Zhiyao's friend?"

"Hehe, of course it's not just that, you have other uses." Xie Wanlin smiled secretly, "If I were you, I'd better hope that the winner is Xie Ji's."

Lin Rufei raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xie Wanlin said: "If the person who wins is Xie Zhiyao, Mr. Lin, you can go with me." He laughed again as he spoke, his mental state was obviously on the verge of collapse, and he looked like crying and laughing from time to time Like a crazy lunatic, without the slightest dignity and solemnity when we first met.Who would have thought that Xie Wanlin, who was praised by outsiders, would be such a person. Lin Rufei was not afraid, but only sighed.

After Xie Wanlin finished speaking, his emotions gradually calmed down, holding the sword in his hand, and staring into the distance.His eyes seemed to pass through the rain curtain, looking at the night in the distance.

Outside the house was filled with chaotic wind and thunder, Xie Wanlin murmured suddenly: "Xie Ji, you are really an idiot."

After he finished speaking, Lin Rufei heard a miserable scream in the distance, but this scream seemed to be his illusion, and was soon completely buried in the sound of frantic rain.

But in an instant, Xie Wanlin seemed to have aged by dozens of years. He stared out the window, rubbed his hand heavily on his saber, and gritted his teeth: "How could I give birth to such a fool."

It seemed that Xie Ji had lost.

Xie Zhiyao didn't wait until the time for the decisive battle tomorrow, he had no respect for the father who wanted him to die, and he didn't follow his order to stay in the ancestral hall overnight, but took advantage of the strong wind and rain to kill Xie Ji The sword slashed, and unexpectedly won the final victory.

This was beyond Lin Rufei's expectations, at least during the day, Xie Zhiyao showed respect to Xie Wanlin.But apparently he, who can survive to the end, is not as harmless as he appears.

The rain was still falling, Xie Wanlin turned his head and set his eyes on Lin Rufei.

If he looked at Lin Rufei just now as if he was looking at a piece of meat on a cutting board, then at this moment, Xie Wanlin was looking at Lin Rufei with the eyes of a dead person.

"Hey, it's all fate, Mr. Lin, don't blame me." Xie Wanlin murmured, "If you want to blame, then blame Xie Zhiyao..."

Lin Rufei covered her mouth and coughed softly.

Xie Wanlin restrained his expression, and looked at the long sword in his hand like a demon, as if he was thinking about which part of Lin Rufei's body should the sword pass through, so that Lin Rufei's death would be easier.

The entire Gu mansion was plunged into boundless darkness, only Lin Rufei's room had faint candlelight flickering, like a trap for attracting moths.

A moth in the rain still takes the bait.

He was dressed in black, completely blending into the night. The violent rain washed away the bloody traces on his clothes, but it couldn't wash away his strong murderous aura.

Holding the snow-white bone sword, Xie Zhiyao appeared at the door of Lin Rufei's room under Xie Wanlin's eyes full of hatred. His face was pale from the rain, but his black eyes were frighteningly bright.

Seeing Xie Wanlin sitting in front of Lin Rufei's bed, Xie Zhiyao was not surprised either. He raised his hand and threw a round object into the room. Xie Wanlin kicked it away expressionlessly.

That thing was Xie Ji's beheaded head, his tarnished eyes were still opened unwillingly, filled with panic and uneasiness, just rolled to the corner, covered with dust all over the floor.

"Father." Xie Zhiyao called out the title, and he said, "I won."

Xie Wanlin raised his eyes to look at his last remaining son, but there was no joy in his eyes, but viciousness that was about to overflow.

"Why are you unhappy?" Xie Zhiyao smiled, "Everything is over, and the Xie family will continue to flourish for a hundred years, shouldn't you be happy?"

Xie Wanlin said: "Happy? I should be happy, but this kind of Xie family is really disgusting, it's better not to have it."

Xie Zhiyao laughed, as if tears were about to come out, Xie Wanlin's face was ashen, and said: "What are you laughing at?!"

Xie Zhiyao said: "Father, you are really interesting. If my brother wins the competition, I am afraid you will be so happy that you can't wait to have a banquet to celebrate. Why is it so disgusting to become the Xie family if I win?" He lowered his head and looked at his hands. The bone sword in the middle, said warmly, "Yes, after all, I am your least favorite son, it's just a pity..."

Xie Wanlin said, "What a pity?"

Xie Zhiyao's voice turned cold, and he looked at Xie Wanlin: "It's a pity, with you now, I'm afraid you won't be able to destroy Xie's family."

"Hahahaha, otherwise, why do you think I'm here?" Xie Wanlin laughed when he heard the words, "I can't do anything to you, but there are always other people who can, such as... the Lin family on Kunlun Mountain, you Said, the most beloved youngest son of their family died violently in the Xie Mansion, Lin Minzhi and the others, will they cause trouble for your childhood friend?"

Xie Zhiyao said coldly: "You want to kill Lin Rufei?"

"Is this a good idea?" Xie Wanlin smiled, "I thought about it for a long time before I came up with it."

Xie Wanlin was really crazy, he wanted the entire Xie family to be buried with him, and he didn't know why he hated Xie Zhiyao so much.

Xie Zhiyao said coldly: "I didn't know that my father was so staunch before, but now he wants to die with the entire Xie family."

Xie Wanlin laughed again. While laughing, he pulled out the saber in his hand from its sheath.Xie Zhiyao was slightly suffocated, his lips pursed into a tight straight line, he fought with Xie Ji just now, and was also seriously injured, it is not easy to stop the crazy Xie Wanlin.As long as Xie Wanlin doesn't attack him, the Xie family's ancestral precepts will not work. It is a breeze to kill Lin Rufei.

Although Lin Rufei said that he could use the sword if he had an adventure, but it was not easy to save his life in the hands of Xie Wanlin, who was cultivated in the eighth realm.If Lin Rufei really died under Xie Wanlin's sword, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family who protected him would probably turn Xie's mansion upside down the next day.

Xie Wanlin noticed Xie Zhiyao's nervousness and laughed out loud.

Xie Zhiyao gritted his teeth and said, "Rufei, I'll stop him, you run out, as far as you can—"

Xie Wanlin was annoyed: "Run? Don't even try to run away, no one can escape!!!" After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved his sword.

Even if Xie Zhiyao was at his peak, he couldn't guarantee to stop Xie Zhiyao's full-strength sword. What's more, he was seriously injured at this time, and it was almost impossible to stop Xie Wanlin.The sword energy surged, but in an instant, the snow-white sword light slashed at Lin Rufei's head. Xie Zhiyao let out a loud cry, and rushed over to stop the sword, but everything seemed to be in turmoil. That's too late.

"Xie Wanlin—" Xie Zhiyao roared, "I'll kill you—"

Xie Wanlin laughed wildly.

When the blade fell, there was no blunt sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the body, but a crisp sound of knocking gold and hitting a stone.Xie Wanlin's smile froze on his face, and he looked at the blade in his hand in disbelief—the blade was actually held by Lin Rufei, and the white blade pierced the white skin of Lin Rufei's palm, bright red The blood flowed down his wrist into his forearm, and then disappeared into the wide cuff.

The pale blue veins on the back of Lin Rufei's hand burst slightly, and then she let go, and Xie Wanlin's saber, which could break gold and stones, broke into several knots and fell to the ground clangingly, turning into pieces of scrap iron.

"You...you..." Xie Wanlin's eyes widened, he stared at Lin Rufei like a ghost, and said frantically, "Who are you—"

Before Lin Rufei could answer, Xie Wanlin's body softened, and he knelt on the ground looking at the broken blades, and said blankly: "Impossible, how is it possible, Lin Rufei is a useless person who knows nothing, How could he stop my sword...how could it be..."

Xie Zhiyao's voice came from behind him, indifferent as ice, he said: "You say he is trash? You can't even kill him, isn't it even worse than him? Xie Wanlin, you can't even kill your most beloved If you can't keep your son, you should be a waste."

Xie Wanlin said: "No...it's not like this...you..." He still wanted to say something, but stopped, and slowly lowered his head to look at his chest stiffly.

A snow-white blade protruded from his heart, stained a dazzling red by the blood from his heart.

Xie Zhiyao killed Xie Wanlin with a sword strike.After these days, he has no nostalgia for his so-called biological father, and his expression is as cold as ice.And Xie Wanlin, who was originally in the eighth realm, had no intention of resisting, he just stared blankly at the sword blade on his chest, and his vitality began to drain rapidly.

However, this kind of passing does not seem to be a normal death. At the moment when Xie Wanlin's aura was completely cut off, Xie Zhiyao's strength soared, and he jumped from the fifth realm to the eighth realm.

Xie Wanlin's body began to dry up rapidly, layers of hideous wrinkles formed on the originally smooth skin, and finally turned into a skeleton. Xie Zhiyao ruthlessly drew his sword, and he fell to the ground, turning into a human body. One ground powder.

This scene appeared suddenly and ended quickly, but within a few breaths, Xie Zhiyao had already secured the victory.But there was no joy on his face, instead his expression was dignified.

"Rufei, is your injury okay?" Xie Zhiyao asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing serious." Lin Rufei shook off the blood on his hand, Xie Wanlin stabbed at him with a sword, and he reflexively grabbed it with his hand, who knew that the sword was really caught in his hand, It was also easily twisted into several sections.However, the palm of his hand was also cut, but fortunately no vitals were injured, it was only a skin trauma.

Xie Zhiyao said: "It really scared me. I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect you to become so powerful. Xie Wanlin's sword, even I might not be able to take it. I didn't expect you to stretch out your hand. Just broke his sword..."

Lin Rufei said helplessly, "I didn't know it would happen either."

Xie Zhiyao said: "Don't be humble with me." He looked at Xie Wanlin's powder on the ground, and sighed, "It's all right now, we have to deal with the aftermath..."

Lin Rufei said: "The people in the house don't know about your fight?"

Xie Zhiyao said: "I know, the servants on the periphery were all cleared away by Xie Wanlin with excuses, and everyone knows it very well."

Lin Rufei: "How are you going to explain it?"

Xie Zhiyao showed some headache expression, said: "Oh, there is always a way, this Xie Wanlin will really cause trouble for me."

Under normal circumstances, they would have a more formal handover process, and Xie Zhiyao would take his life after Xie Wanlin handed over the affairs of the Xie Mansion to Xie Zhiyao.However, Xie Wanlin did not take the usual path, and suddenly wanted to be unfavorable to Lin Rufei. Xie Zhiyao had no choice but to strike first.

Fortunately, he inherited all of Xie Wanlin's cultivation at this time, and no one in the entire Xie Manor dared to speak up.

Seeing that Lin Rufei's hand was still bleeding, Xie Zhiyao said to help him bandage it up first. Lin Rufei wiped it with his cuff casually, and when the bleeding stopped, he said, "It's just a small injury, don't worry, Xie Wanlin before Take Fuhua and Yurui away, do you know where he will lock them up?"

Xie Zhiyao frowned: "Maybe it will be locked in the dark room of the study, so I'll take a look for you?"

"Okay." Lin Rufei said, "I'm sorry."

"You are too polite." Xie Zhiyao sighed, "I am really sorry to involve you in our family."

Lin Rufei said: "This is not what you want."

Xie Zhiyao turned and left, Lin Rufei watched his figure disappear into the rain.

Before he came back to his senses, he felt his hands being held by another pair of cold hands, and when he turned his head again, he saw Gu Xuandu staring at the wound on his hand with a blank expression.

For some reason, Lin Rufei felt guilty, and said slowly, "It's just a small injury."

Gu Xuandu raised his eyelids: "Small injury? Did you know that you can stop Xie Wanlin's sword by reaching out, instead of having five fingers chopped off by him?"

Lin Rufei sneered: "It's not that I didn't think too much..."

Gu Xuandu said: "You can think more about it next time." He sighed as he spoke, "In the future, when someone draws a sword at you, remember to draw out the sword at your waist instead of blocking it with your hand."

Lin Rufei said inexplicably, "But I don't have a sword at my side."

Gu Xuandu said: "It's okay, I'll use my sword for you." After finishing speaking, he added shamelessly, "I'll let you feel your waist as well."

Lin Rufei: "Senior..." He always felt that something was wrong.

Who knows that Gu Xuandu still has plausible words: "Don't be embarrassed, I won't blame you if you touch it a few more times when it's important."

Lin Rufei was choked speechless, and when she realized it, she saw the narrow smile on Gu Xuandu's face, and realized that she was teased by Gu Xuan again.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Xiao Jiu, don't be polite to me next time.

Lin Rufei: Are you polite?

Gu Xuandu: I am definitely easier to use than your right hand

Lin Rufei: I suspect you are driving but there is no evidence...
