The prince is very fierce

In the long autumn night, the vast Dongting Lake is full of pleasure boats and fishing boats.

There is a lakeside square on the outskirts of Junshan Island. It was originally the place where the Junshan Cao family welcomed guests. In the past, countless wanderers came here every day to visit or learn skills. As the Cao family retired from the world, the martial arts stage on the square was naturally abandoned, and now it has been turned into a stage.

The houses around the square have become a small market, with many inns and wine shops, crab shops everywhere, and various specialties on the shores of Dongting Lake, which is not much different from the scenic spots of later generations.

The Yueyang Tower across the lake is nearly ten miles away, but the lake is as flat as a mirror, and you can still see a sea of ​​lights in the distance.

Under the crescent moon, Ning Qingye stood on the top of the high tower by the lake, looking at the various shapes and colors on Dongting Lake.

She was still wearing a white dress that was whiter than snow, with black hair draped over her back. She looked pure and elegant, like a white lotus that had fallen into the mortal world. She held a Qingfeng sword in her hand, which added a bit of chivalry to her fairy spirit.

But her eyes, like a clear spring, were a little absent-minded at this moment.

It had been almost a year since Ning Qingye left Hutai Street in shame and anger after being kissed by Xu Buling on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Her mixed emotions had long since calmed down. Although she was still angry about being taken advantage of, the other party had saved her life after all. What else could she do except pretend that it had not happened...

After Ning Qingye left Chang'an, she returned to Changqing Temple in Wudang Mountain. She wanted to continue to depend on her master, practice martial arts to the pinnacle, and then go to avenge her mother.

But her master, who had always stayed at home, had gone somewhere and only left her a letter, asking her not to run around when she came back.

Later, she heard from Senior Wudang about Xu Buling's apprenticeship. She had a junior brother out of nowhere...

The night wind blew her hair, Ning Qingye narrowed her eyes slightly, and was obviously a little annoyed. She had already drawn a clear line with that daring guy, how come they were involved again? How should the senior sisters and brothers get along with each other in the future...

However, in the martial arts world, the master's orders are the heaven. The master wants to accept a disciple, and she, as the eldest sister, naturally cannot disobey. She can only reluctantly accept this fact. She also thought that when Xu Buling came to Wudang Mountain, she would give him a good warning. If he dared to tell the master about kissing her, she would stab him with a sword.

She just lived in the mountain for a few days, but she didn't wait for the master and Xu Buling, but waited for a piece of news in the martial arts world. The Eagle Tower was looking for four jade artifacts circulating in the martial arts world for the "Tongtian Treasure Book" and set its sights on the Cao family.

Ning Qingye asked the masters of Wudang about the authenticity of "Tongtian Baodian". It was true, but it was definitely false that learning it would make one invulnerable to swords and guns and immortal. It should be the top-notch martial arts routine.

The rumor was too mysterious. Ning Qingye actually wanted to find it. After all, if a Jianghu person wanted to become more powerful, apart from talent and diligence, the only thing left was to search for superior martial arts moves.

Ning Qingye wanted revenge, but her enemies were two giants that made it difficult for people to compare with them. Needless to say, the imperial court could barely kill Zhang Xiang, and there were a bunch of more powerful culprits behind him. The other one was the leader of the Eagle Building, her ruthless and ungrateful biological father.

Ning Qingye hated that biological father even more than the imperial court that killed him.

The imperial court's iron eagle hunting deer was a different position. It was true that the official killed the bandit and there was a blood feud, but at least it made sense.

And her biological father, since she could remember, had been obsessed with high positions and wealth, and rarely returned home. Until the day when the village was reduced to ruins, her mother was still waiting outside the village with her. In order to protect her from escaping, her mother was killed by the wolf guards. Before she died, she was still wearing the hairpin given by the unfaithful man.

But that man has never visited the grave to this day, and is still thinking about gathering a force to plot a big plan.

He didn't care when he was alive. After his death, his fame was cut off, so he gathered a group of people to oppose the court. Who cares?

Now the Eagle Tower wants to search for four jade artifacts, one of which is placed in the ancestral hall of the Cao family on Junshan Island.

When she escaped from Shu, it was the time when the Iron Eagle Hunting Deer was at its peak. Everyone in the world was silent, and those who dared to help her were basically dead. When she was desperate, the only one who helped her was the Cao family on Junshan Island.

Cao Qujian, the head of the Cao family, was already trapped in the center of the vortex. He took the risk of being discovered by the court and secretly took her to Wudang Mountain. Under the protection of Qingxu Zhenren, she lived safely until now.

If it weren't for the help of the Cao family, Ning Qingye would have been like those children whose parents were killed by the Wolf Guards. I don't know what I have fallen into.

Therefore, after learning that the Eagle Tower was searching for the jade pendant, Ning Qingye came to Junshan Island.

Jianghu people know how to repay kindness. The Cao family saved her life that year, so how can they not repay it now that they are in trouble.

And if Li Hansheng dared to come, even if she gave up her life, she would have to give her mother who died in the wilderness a slap in the face.

However...

At the top of the tower, Ning Qingye looked in the direction of Yueyang Tower and sighed softly.

After waiting for so long, Eagle Tower only sent a few messengers to contact the Cao family, and none of the real owners came. The Cao family has repeatedly stated that they have withdrawn from the Jianghu and will not intervene in the disputes in the Jianghu, and there is no sign of fighting at present.

And that lecherous playboy who had already returned to Suzhou came to Chu for unknown reasons. According to the news just spread by Lin Yusong of Hutou Mountain, he had arrived at Jinsi Gorge a few days ago.

Lin Yusong is a leader among the younger generation in Chu. People all say that he has the potential to be the best in martial arts. According to Lin Yusong’s description, “Lin and the contemporary champion Xu Buling had a decisive battle with the Qingxu Zhenren of Shiyan Village. After exchanging three moves, they felt sorry for not meeting each other earlier…” It seems that Xu Buling’s martial arts have recovered and he is probably on par with Lin Yusong.

Ning Qingye couldn’t beat Xu Buling before. After practicing hard for nearly a year, his power has doubled. He thought he could at least tie with Xu Buling. Now it seems that it is probably 30-70.

It stands to reason that Xu Buling should meet her when he arrives in Chu. But she has important matters and a personal blood feud now, so she doesn’t want to involve Xu Buling.

Ning Qingye hooked the hair by her ear and looked back at the 72 peaks of Junshan.

It is rumored that several masters of the Eagle Tower have arrived in Yueyang. If the Cao family does not give in, they will come to the door and rob them sooner or later.

The Cao family of Junshan Island has sealed their swords for ten years, and the whole family no longer practices martial arts. Once the sword box is opened and the sword is held again, it is impossible to retreat. But without holding the sword, how can they stop the bandits in the Eagle Tower.

At present, some old friends of the Cao family have spontaneously come to serve as the door gods of the Cao family, but it is still unknown who came to the Eagle Tower.

If a few helmsmen came, it would be fine. If it was Li Hansheng who came in person, if she was not there, these friends would definitely not be able to stop them.

Ning Qingye thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​going out to look for him. She jumped off the tower and disappeared by the lake...
