Chapter 3 003
This sentence, coming from someone else, might be suspected of bragging. If this is a promise from a man to a woman, it may not be taken seriously.
But the person who said this was Guan Qi.
A top martial arts master who has become a madman has no need to lie.
What's more, in his opinion, in order to win back his wife who he has been separated from for a long time, it is imperative to hold a new wedding banquet, and her safety must be guaranteed with all efforts.
There is no exception to this sentence of killing all those who stand in the way!
...
"Even if the people from Jinfengxiyu Tower and Liufenbantang come to offend and cause trouble, it is difficult to stir up any waves. The Seventh Saint Lord has good intentions for his wife, which is evident."
Good intentions?
Shi Qingruo glanced at the person following her, her eyes uncertain.
I heard someone behind me say, "Before the lady was brought back to the alliance, the Saint Lord's madness was much more serious than it is now. Perhaps with the lady by his side, he will be able to recover one day." "
...Is that so?"
It was cloudy and rainy last night, and the sky is clear today. There are still a lot of fallen leaves and flowers in the yard, which make a sound when stepped on. But if you listen carefully, there is clearly only one person's footsteps.
And the person following behind her, as his name suggests, has the same lightness as ghosts and gods. He is also the one who was designated by Guan Qi to protect her and take her to select close attendants today.
The four saints of the Misty Heaven Alliance, Ren Guishen.
To say that in this Misty Heaven Alliance, except for the seventh saint Guan Qi who is a madman, the rest of the people are not very normal.
Just passing by the front yard, Shi Qingruo saw a short and fat man with a wide robe and fat sleeves, and his fingers were only as long as those of an ordinary person.
If it were just like this, it would not be surprising.
However, the man who was working with him was wearing a pair of deerskin gloves, which made his fingers look even longer, about half a meter longer than the others.
The pair of partners standing together were very different in height, weight and body shape, which was indescribably eye-catching and weird.
As for the Fourth Saint Master, he had taken off the bamboo hat that was covering his head upside down because of Guan Qi's order, otherwise he would have been a freak.
Now, because he was wearing a blue and gray long gown, he looked less weird like a Jianghu killer and more like a teacher.
Shi Qingruo thought that with his appearance, he looked like a housekeeper who could say "The young master finally smiled", and he did not dare to slack off with him.
From the back, Ren Guishen saw that this woman, who was a bit rare in the world, stopped walking as she looked at the desolate scene in the courtyard, as if she was in a trance for a moment, and then she whispered: "Can I ask you one more question, how did Brother Qi get crazy?"
Ren Guishen replied: "This question... Madam should not ask me."
How can a subordinate talk about his superior?
Shi Qingruo shook her head: "But you can't ask Xiaoyao. She said that she was introduced to the alliance by the Great Saint Lord, and it has only been a few years, so she doesn't know about the early events of the Seventh Brother."
When Guan Qi was injured and went crazy, Zhu Xiaoyao was only a child of a few years old. How could she know the inside story?
Ren Guishen knew much more.
Of course, she could only ask him.
"Since I want to marry him, I can't be a confused person. If you don't want to answer, I have other ways to ask."
Ren Guishen hesitated for a moment, and swept across Shi Qingruo's bright and beautiful face, as if he saw a childish stubbornness in it, and immediately laughed in his heart.
"If the lady says so, I should also tell her. Among the Seven Saints of Mi Tian, although I am called the Fourth Saint, everyone in the alliance knows that we are just masters who protect the Seventh Master, and we can't make decisions on major matters."
Since he can't make decisions, then if the mistress asks, he should naturally answer.
He considered his tone for a moment before speaking again, "Seventh Master... once had a beloved, named Wen Xiaobai."
A faint gasp filled the already silent courtyard.
This Xiaobai, of course, wasn't the "Xiaoqing" Guan Qi had now found, but the "White Moonlight" who had long since vanished without a trace.
Shi Qingruo's voice trembled slightly: "...Go on."
"There are rumors in the capital that Miss Wen learned from a hidden master, but because the first person she met when she came out to travel around the world was from the Lingnan Wen family, she took the surname Wen and moved around in Bianjing."
Seeing that Shi Qingruo turned around and continued to walk forward in order to avoid his prying eyes to cover up her gaffe, Ren Guishen followed her and continued to talk: "Back then, Miss Wen and Seventh Master were already married, but because Seventh Master was immersed in martial arts, she felt neglected, so she had too close contacts with Master Lei of the Six and a Half Hall, and then even disappeared without a trace." "
Just at this time, the Thunder Protector Lei Zhenyu, a candidate for the chief master of the Six and a Half Hall, found Seventh Master again and made an appointment with him for a decisive battle."
"Seventh Master was already in a state of confusion because of Miss Wen's departure, and there were signs of him going insane. He accepted the bet of the duel, and everyone in our alliance wanted to persuade Seventh Master not to participate, but because Seventh Master's martial arts skills were extremely high, we did not stop him when we saw that he was determined to go. But none of us expected that Seventh Master would accept the challenge and go, which was an act of keeping his word, while Liufenbantang would disregard the rules of martial arts and set up a thunderous formation at the place of the decisive battle, and wound people with hidden arrows."
Ren Guishen lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, as if he thought of what the Mi Tian Alliance had encountered after the incident that year, and his originally calm face was also filled with anger: "After that battle, the Lei Protector was killed without a trace, but Seventh Master was injured by him and became a lunatic. Lei Sun, who was a candidate for the chief hall master together with Lei Protector, ascended to the position of chief hall master because of this, and has been chasing and blocking our Mi Tian Alliance ever since."
There are many people in this world who like to kick a man when he's down.
The Seventh Saint Master, who was the most powerful martial artist, had gone mad. How could the once prosperous Seventh Saint Alliance of the Heavenly Gods survive?
"The Seventh Master's martial arts were still there, but he often couldn't distinguish between friend and foe. Sister Guan also disappeared at this time, leaving the alliance without one more person to take charge of the overall situation. Naturally, we could only hide in the dark and watch the Six-and-a-half Hall and the Golden Wind and Rain Tower continue to grow stronger."
"If it weren't for...if it weren't for the Seventh Master still thinking about that woman, the Heavenly God Alliance would have searched the martial arts world and even found the Wen family in Lingnan, and would definitely find Wen Xiaobai--"
This indignant accusation suddenly stopped.
Ren Guishen seemed to suddenly remember who he was talking to at the moment, and hurriedly stopped talking.
There was nothing wrong with telling some things to subordinates as gossip, but it was obviously inappropriate to tell someone who was about to marry Guan Qi.
The figure in front of him, who looked weak and helpless, seemed to stagger for a moment because of the various news he suddenly threw out.
Until a voice broke the silence again: "He... Do I look a lot like Wen Xiaobai?"
Ren Guishen sneered in his heart.
It seemed that Shi Qingruo had not heard the secrets of Mitian League and Liufenbantang that he had told her before, and she was only concerned about this question.
She was really a woman with no experience in the martial arts world.
He raised his hand.
It was not a simple hand raising.
Ren Guishen was famous for his palm skills in the martial arts world. With just this hand raising, he had put all his life's skills of the Ghost God Splitting Skill into one palm.
If this hand fell, the beauty in front of him would be killed on the spot in an instant.
But Shi Qingruo was completely unaware of the temptation at this moment. She suddenly stopped and turned around, stubbornly repeating her question: "Do I look like Wen Xiaobai?"
"No." While speaking, Ren Guishen had already put his hand back into his sleeve, determined not to let anyone see anything wrong.
Because he confirmed that the unknown Holy Lord's wife did not know martial arts, he had achieved a major thing in his heart, and his tone was much calmer than before. "You don't look like her."
This is a true statement.
If Wen Xiaobai is purer after frost and clearer after snow, then Shi Qingruo is bright and dazzling.
Let alone any similarities between the two, it can be said that they are poles apart.
Because of this, Ren Guishen couldn't figure out why the Seventh Master mistook her for Wen Xiaobai, insisted on clearing her name, and even changed his previous state of ignorance.
If you ignore some of his behaviors, he is almost like a normal person.
This is definitely not a good thing for some people.
For him... it's not either.
He faced the tearful gaze and said, "Madam, please don't worry too much about this matter. If the Seventh Master can regain his sanity because of Madam, he will definitely not miss the old feelings. Although he has been thinking about you for more than ten years, it was just because he was obsessed with you back then."
"Now Madam is the Holy Lord's wife that the Seventh Master is about to marry, and the Seventh Master may not really recognize you as someone else..."
"Forget it." Shi Qingruo sighed and interrupted him, "It's too early for you to say anything now. What will happen in the future, just follow fate first."
...Fate?
In this turbulent city of Bianjing, leaving everything to fate is the biggest problem.
However, this evaluation did not come from Ren Guishen's mouth.
He just bowed and replied, "Madam, what you said is very true."
From Shi Qingruo's frown, he was not difficult to be sure that the words he just said were enough to plant a thorn in the other party's heart.
As for what consequences this thorn will cause, he has his own experts behind him to guide him, and he will never let it get out of control.
He was even more pleased to see that when selecting guards, Shi Qingruo originally wanted to carefully select his own confidants, but because of the news he had learned before, he looked depressed, just casually pointed at two people, and returned to the small building where he was waiting to marry.
And these two people, if he was not mistaken, should be the spies that Lei Zongtangzhuan put into the Mitian League.
In other words, these are his "own people".
Shi Qingruo's origins are unknown, and he has placed two more guards in the prison where he is, so what is there to be afraid of!
...
However, when the door was closed——
"Does he think I can't hear it?" Shi Qingruo brushed his sleeves and sat at the table, scolding coldly.
"I asked him how Guan Qi went crazy, and he told me about that group of Wen Xiaobai. He also said that Guan Qi went crazy because of her leaving, and that he has been obsessed with people for more than ten years..."
What a ghost god.
If she really was robbed here by Guan Qi accidentally, and was impressed by Guan Qi's reputation as a master, so she chose to stay, I'm afraid she would be tossing and turning because of Ren Guishen's words. If
she is more angry,
she is more likely to just leave. It is hard to say whether Guan Qi will add another shackle to his madness because of her existence, and whether he can successfully regain his long-lost sanity. But if she leaves, the situation may only develop to the worst.
If Ren Guishen, the fourth master of the Mi Tian League, is still Guan Qi's loyal minister, he can talk about the battle that caused the two masters to "fall", but he should not -
should not mention Wen Xiaobai at this cusp!
Even though Guan Qi had previously vaguely revealed that he treated Shi Qingruo as someone else.
"He clearly has other intentions."
"Yes, he hopes Guan Qi will continue to be crazy, and he is afraid that this world's number one can regain his sanity." The other person in the room answered.
That was one of the guards that Shi Qingruo had selected earlier. She assigned him to guard the inner hall because he looked friendly, while the other guarded the door.
Ren Guishen, who had already walked away and was more likely to have gone to report to someone, was destined not to see him. The servant who had previously lowered his head and looked obedient, with a face that was so ordinary that you would forget it at a glance, had a cunning look in his eyes, which completely changed the temperament of his face.
Obviously, under this face that was familiar to the Mi Tian League, a different person had already appeared.
"Little bat..." Shi Qingruo called.
Sikong Zhaixing immediately jumped up and said, "Don't call me that."
Shi Qingruo smiled, "I don't understand your martial arts as a thief. I only know that when I first saw you, you were hanging upside down under the eaves, spying on the yard here. You looked like a bat." "
I asked you what your last name was, but you refused to tell me. There was nothing else to call you except a nickname. Do I have to call you a master of disguise?"
Sikong Zhaixing was speechless.
But perhaps, his silence at this moment was due to other reasons.
The woman sitting at the table held her chin and looked back, immersing half of her face in the candlelight in the room, but her face was not blurred by the light and shadow. Instead, it seemed that she had grasped the flowing light in the room and spread it all on the beautiful brocade. The
eyes were full of colorful light.
And the more he couldn't figure out her origins and her motives, the more he felt that there was a unique pattern on this brocade.
Sikong Zhaixing sighed silently.
Lu Xiaofeng was a wanderer in the world, but he might not really understand feelings, and he didn't understand his thoughts.
You know, as a thief, he never had to tell Lu Xiaofeng in advance what he was going to steal, unless... it was a treasure that he must keep in mind.
And he needed to get help from others in another way.
It took him a moment to find his voice: "...You have heard what Ren Guishen said. With such a plan, do you still want to be the wife of the Holy Lord of the Mitian League?"
Shi Qingruo blinked, and the answer without hesitation made Sikong Zhaixing almost doubt that he had asked a too stupid question. "Why not? Guan Qi is very good to me, that's enough."
"But..."
"Little Bat, can you do me a favor?" She asked softly, blocking all the words that Sikong Zhaixing was about to say.
He wanted to say that the situation in Bianjing City was such that even if Guan Qi was good to her, he couldn't get rid of all the dangers.
He also wanted to say that he was not called Little Bat, after all, it was not a nice name.
Or perhaps what he should do is turn around and leave, and don't be like Guan Qi, who was driven by something and fell into this dreamlike trap.
But the answer that rang out in the house was one and only one word.
"...Okay."
The author has something to say:
Sikong Zhaixing: What's wrong with Bat? I just want to ask you what's wrong with you!
