Chapter 45: Only one kind of person has the right to stand by me, and that isto sleep in the room that the abbot had slept in or simply leave thewith Shen Qiao was his only choice

Luckily, Shen Qiao had just cleaned the roo out for sunshi+ne just a few days ago —— it still had that sweet, fresh sle-person bed, so it wasn't surprising that it seemed a little crowded for two people But Shen Qiao said to him, ”You can have it I'll just take a brief nap as I ht slid into the rooht breeze snuck in together with it Fortunately, the weather wasn't cold anymore around this time of the year, and they were both martial arts experts, so they didn't need to worry about catching a cold

Shen Qiao sat cross-legged His back was straight like a green pine or a verdant ba thinner One could vaguely see the waistline underneath

Tihest point in the sky, and the well rippled of its cold shi+ne

Yan Wushi+ stared at Shen Qiao's silhouette fro speed towards the center of Shen Qiao's back!

I a mysterious state However, for martial artists, unless they were in Closed Door Meditation, they would almost always detach a part of theirenviron a in an unfaainst eneht that Yan Wushi+ would plot against hiilance quickly pulled hiap between their current level of , and they were too close to each other as well, so that by the time he reacted, the other person had already locked all the key acupoints on his back, and he could no longer move

Yan Wushi+ caressed his cheek He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, ”Ah-qiao, why do you always trust others so easily?”

Shen Qiao frowned, ”I thought ere friends”

Yan Wushi+ slightly smiled, ”You can only blaht have waited a little longer before acting on you Why would a person such as myself need someone as desperate as you who hasn't recovered his martial arts, been kicked out of his sect, and been ridiculed by everyone, as

Yan Wushi+ carried hi anyone

Even though he was carrying a person with hiht Beneath the race and ease, not leaving any traces behind hi in the wind If anyone else was here, they would not have believed that such an in whose nahtened everyone

”Why don't you askPeople who didn't knohat happened would probably think he was mute as well

Yan Wushi+ looked at him and found out that Shen Qiao had closed his eyes

He couldn't help but laugh, ”I' you a story on our way there”

”Since we haven't met the person yet, you may start with the story first”

”More than ten years ago, when I first obtained The Strategy of the Verlance Because at that time, I didn't think there were any martial arts better than The Fundah I had lost to Qi Fengge, I believed it was largely due to the person practicing it, not the martial arts itself The first sect e, or the final stage, of The Fundamentals of Phoenix and Qilin No one from the Daoist sects or the Confucian sects at that tiainst him It was said that he had lived for more than one hundred and twenty years, and by the end, he saw through the ultimate of the Way of martial arts With his spirit refined back into emptiness, he himself was liberated from his end rong Even though that person was able to live to one hundred and twenty years old, he didn't ascend to heaven because of his pursuit in higher level of martial arts as people said so He died to Qi Deviation Because even though The Fundamentals of Phoenix and Qilin was a powerful , you can think of a person's body as a vessel As the person builds up their inner qi, this vessel is constantly reshaped in order to adapt to the increase in their er a person is in terer their , but the expression on his face indicated he was listening

Yan Wushi+ continued, ”But with The Fundaher a person's level of martial arts is, the more restrictions it has on their body When the 'vessel' can no longer keep up with the martial arts it holds, their body will explode and they will die”

Shen Qiao finally opened his mouth, ”The problem you just mentioned exists in all martial arts While the pursuit of , a person's aptitude is li as one continues to strive for improvement, they will eventually find themselves in a predicament some day In fact, my master failed the Closed Door Meditation and passed away for the exact saer coht and there was no problem for hiht However, it wouldn't be a threat to hi to stop The Fundaer it poses to a person's body will only beco it Therefore, I thought of The Strategy of the Verrate martial arts from different schools, it may lead to some unexpected discovery”

Shen Qiao said, ”But you failed”

Yan Wushi+ pulled a faint serness to succeed that planted the hidden danger of Qi Deviation in me”

Shen Qiao suddenly frowned, ”Based on what you said, the Funda flaw Since al Moon Sect and the other two sects practice it, won't they all find themselves in the same predicament?”

With a chuckle, Yan Wushi+ finally stopped and put Shen Qiao down ”Ah-qiao, you always surpriseyou all of this, but you end up caring about other people's lives instead You can relax This flaw only reveals itself to those who have achieved a certain stage, and if a person can reach the ninth stage like me, they have feorthy matches in this world Even if they are aware of the ive up”

”My story is finished Any thoughts on it?”

Shen Qiao shook his head

Yan Wushi+ seemed to be bored by his reaction Just as he was about to say so froant as ever I really miss you a lot!”

The voice sounded both far and near At onefrom the horizon, yet the next second, it was as if it was next to one's ears The voice seeave Shen Qiao a sinking feeling

Yan Wushi+ said coldly, ”Sang Jingxing, are you trying to sha the Devil's Charh As if he could teleport through space, with only a few steps, he had already walked up to the had a ilist world But because he was horrifyingly strong in martial arts, no one would ever openly oppose hier and suffer in silence to avoid a quarrel The best example hat happened to Ren Yin, as also known as the Wild Blade, froirl with snowy skin, accidentally beca, and the latter demanded to take her as his disciple Everyone knew that disciple was just Sang Jiangxing's excuse for his endless need for girls to use for dual cultivation Ren Yin had always been a short-teht He instead bore the hu stock of the world and handed his daughter over to Sang Jingxing at last, while he hiether with the rest of his fa and the other powerful ave her to his disciple Huo Xijing The latter peeled off her face and used it for one of his puppet doll collections

But after Yan Wushi+'s reappearance in the pugilistic world, because he was an to put otten how cruel and frightful Sang Jingxing was

As a disciple of Cui Youwang, Sang Jingxing was never a person to be looked down on His ambition ell hidden beneath his cynical and frivolous appearance People all thought he willingly beca the Harmony Sect for her, while in fact the conflict and discrepancy between them had existed for quite so, nor could Sang Jingxing kill Yuan Xiuxiu at the moment Their only choice was to hold their noses as they maintained the temporary facade of fraternity

He was a tall and powerful ant In fact, his skin was so fine and s with a pair of watery eyes Unfortunately, the glance co out of those eyes was rather cold and malicious, and it made people afraid to look directly into thereeted Yan Wushi+, ”I heard that Zhou's plan on attacking Qi worried Yuan Xiuxiu so deeply that she visited Sect Master Yan to seek your help in killing me Is this true?”

If Yuan Xiuxiu was here, these words sure would surprise her This was supposed to be a secret plan No one else should know her deal with Yan Wushi+, but for some reason, the news had been leaked

Yan Wushi+ said, ”That's right”

”So, the reason Sect Master Yan caht a person for you”

Sang Jingxing's eyes fell on Shen Qiao ”Who is he? Well, at least he doesn't look bad”

”Shen Qiao”

Sang Jingxing's eyes narrowed The careless expression in thelare ”That Shen Qiao who killed Huo Xijing?”

”That's right”

Sang Jingxing suddenly burst out laughing, ”I heard that Sect Master Yan and him were on some quite inti hi person, so if he's broken by the tiiving him to you, of course you can treat hiain”

Upon hearing this pro's face clearly widened He usually preferred teenage girls and boys Shen Qiao obviously didn't fall into this category, but he was good-looking, and e's disciple A rotten shi+p would still have three pounds of nails Even if Shen Qiao's status and martial arts could in no way co Jingxing's perspective, it wouldn't be a bad choice to just absorb what re” hiive him to me just like this? There's no other condition?”

”I de didn't think he would hed, ”How unfortunate! I don't have it withit delivered to you so about the Taihua Sword, the shich Yan Wushi+ used before he was defeated by Cui Youwang After he lost, the sas also taken away by the other party Now that Cui Youwang was dead, the sword naturally fell into the hands of his disciple, Sang Jingxing

”That's fine”

Sang Jingxing tried to probe further, ”I thought Sect Master Yan already achieved the peak ofa sword or not shouldn't make a difference to you anymore Why do you suddenly want Taihua Sword back?”

Were it not for his restraining fear towards Yan Wushi+'s 's personality and style, he would never talk to people with such courtesy

Yan Wushi+ replied coldly, ”What's ardless of time It's just asful tone, ”I heard that Sect Master Yan and Shen Qiao have been traveling together for a while like a golden couple It surprises me how Shen Qiao is only worth a Taihua Sword to you What a sad thing to hear!”

When they were talking, Shen Qiao's eyes remained closed He didn't raise his head, nor did he open his eyes In fact, his expression was calm as if this whole conversation was totally unrelated to him

Yan Wushi+ said, ”On one side, it looks like Yuan Xiuxiu is trying to ith me to kill you, while on the other side, she is also secretly keeping a relationshi+p with the Turks What are you going to do?”

A trace of anger flashed across Sang Jingxing's face, but he soon s double-crosser It's not the first ti like this When and where did you agree to meet her?”

”June 6th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, ill meet at the Snowy Peony Monastery east of the city She said you like to spend ti raised his eyebrows, ”Well, I gotta say she does knowto its name alone one could tell it was not a serious te Jingxing recently was fond of a new style of play He would have the girls' heads shaved clean, dress them up as little nuns, and let them live in the monastery while he hi into the te with them wantonly Such an act often lasted for more than half a day This was supposed to be an ultimate secret, but if he knew about Yuan Xiuxiu's movements, of course Yuan Xiuxiu would know his as well
