The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 270: Mutual Expression of Feelings
When they heard the voice, everyone in the room was nervous, but when they saw the figure under the starlight outside the door, their expressions relaxed.
Seeing Shangguan Xiaoxian hurriedly invited her in, "Auntie...Mr. Li, are you okay? Come in and sit down."
Today, she dared not underestimate this person at all, let alone neglect him. She even admired him and felt a little in awe of him.
To be specific, she had witnessed with her own eyes Li Muchan's growth from an insignificant little person to the earth-shaking man he is today.
This man proved himself with his actions. He deserves the admiration and respect of everyone. He is destined to be a legend, or even a martial arts myth passed down to future generations.
And Mother Liu was even happier, happy for Shangguan Xiaoxian.
In this world of fighting and hatred, once involved, how many people can escape unscathed? How many people can find true love amidst the flash of swords and the shadows, the intrigues and deceptions?
These things were a luxury for them, but she saw hope in Li Muchan.
If there is someone in the world who is worthy of Shangguan Xiaoxian, worthy of my lady's lifelong trust, and capable of protecting her, it can only be this person.
Shangguan Xian'er sat up lazily, holding onto the soft couch, and looked at Li Muchan with interest. "Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. I don't believe you two can hide everything. If you have anything to say, why not speak clearly in front of us? You are all great martial artists after all, so why do you always like to do things in secret?"
Li Muchan shook his head and laughed when he heard this, then walked in.
"I must make it clear," he said, pulling out a jade book from his bosom. "I have already killed Eunuch Liu in the Forbidden City. I have avenged Jing Wuming for you."
Numerous tiny characters can be seen on the jade book, the handwriting is clear, and the contents recorded are extraordinary. This is because the jade book is divided into two sides, one for the Wedding Dress Divine Art, the other for the Divine Water Art. One is the front, the other is the back, one is water, the other is fire. These are two peerless divine arts that can shock the world and cause devastating disasters.
When they heard that Eunuch Liu and Bai Yujingdu had died, the expressions of the people in the room changed.
In this way, the demise of the Qinglong Society is a foregone conclusion, and the Tianxia Alliance is destined to rise. It will not be long before they can sweep across the martial arts world of the seven southern and sixty-three northern provinces, just like the "Money Gang" did back then.
Shangguan Xiaoxian finally spoke, her eyes turned to the window, and she sighed softly, "What is this?"
Li Muchan placed the jade book in front of the other person and said softly, "Perhaps I am used to intrigue and scheme, so I can't say anything to cheer people up. But if you are willing, this can be regarded as a betrothal gift. From now on..."
He followed Shangguan Xiaoxian's gaze, looked at the two graves, thought for a moment, and finally added softly, "I'll protect you."
Shangguan Xiaoxian looked at the jade book still stained with blood, was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
Seeing this, Mother Liu hurriedly pulled Shangguan Xian'er out of the bamboo hut, but her eyes seemed to be fixed on the two of them, and she kept looking back.
She sighed inwardly. On this bloody journey, Shangguan Xiaoxian cared least about those heart-touching words. On the contrary, it was people like Li Muchan who were often the most deadly, their every word weighing a thousand words, each one sincere and heartfelt.
Shangguan Xiaoxian suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze sparkling, her expression half-smile, her head tilted, a little cunning and a little crafty, just like when she was mischievous and smiled with a dagger hidden in her heart, staring directly at Li Muchan.
After a while, she gently asked, "What about Pharmacist Li? What should she do? You know, I never like to share things with anyone . What's mine is mine, and no one can touch it. Don't even think about taking a copper coin, let alone your loved one. I will kill anyone who takes it. If you can't be true to me, I will kill you."
Their eyes met, and Li Muchan replied, "She went overseas."
Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes flickered, and then she sighed softly without saying anything.
"She's a poor person too."
After a while, a murmur was heard from under the lamp, Shangguan Xiaoxian's murmur.
Then she looked at Li Muchan again, "That girl betrayed even her own senior brother for you. She has no relatives in the martial arts world, and yet you have the heart to let her flee overseas, where we don't know whether she's alive or dead?"
Li Muchan didn't seem to understand the meaning of these two sentences and asked, "Do you want me to save her? Or do you want me to go find her?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian sat under the lamp like a jade statue and an ice sculpture, and said concisely: "I feel sorry for her."
Li Muchan frowned upon hearing this, then relaxed again. She looked at the captivating face before her and whispered, "She said the same thing as you did back then."
Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes flickered, "Because of whom?"
Li Muchan said, "You."
"Ah, it seems we are surprisingly similar," Shangguan Xiaoxian lowered her eyes, looking away as if avoiding the light, and asked quietly, "Are you planning to go overseas?"
Li Muchan said very straightforwardly, "Yes, the Azure Dragon Society's experts are exiled overseas, and Li Xunhuan and the others have also gone. For reasons of both emotion and reason, as well as gratitude and revenge, I must go and put an end to this matter once and for all."
Shangguan Xiaoxian's throat suddenly moved, perhaps because she smelled the bloody smell on the jade book, or perhaps because her mood changed and she thought of something. She opened her red lips and couldn't help but turn sideways and retch.
Seeing this, Li Muchan sat down and put his hand on Shangguan Xiaoxian's white wrist. He didn't look at her stubborn, persistent and watery eyes, but held down her struggling left hand, feeling the changes in her pulse, and then passed a soft wisp of true energy to her.
"Ahem," Shangguan Xiaoxian coughed a few times and said coldly, "I want to go too."
Li Muchan sorted out the Qi in the other person's body and said calmly, "Okay, I never thought about it..."
As he was talking, Li Muchan suddenly realized something and looked up, only to see Shangguan Xiaoxian bending down and looking up, staring at him without blinking, with a look of curiosity in her eyes, wondering what he would say next.
Perhaps because she had been waiting for too long, Shangguan Xiaoxian couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought about anything?"
Their eyes met, and Li Muchan whispered, "I never thought of leaving you alone in the Central Plains... Since some things have been decided, from now on, even in heaven or on earth, I want you to follow me."
Shangguan Xiaoxian stared at Li Muchan intently, her eyes wide open and her ears reddened, as if trying to see a flower blossom from her face. After a while, she whispered, "I never care about worldly opinions, nor do I ask for anything extravagantly. But if you and I are to get married, we still need someone to witness it."
Li Muchan seemed to have expected this and asked tentatively, "Are you talking about the flying swordsman?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian nodded. "He raised me from childhood. Although he never said it, he treated me like his own and secretly protected me for many years. My mother owes him so much, and I owe him too. His kindness is so great that I will never forget it... Now that he has gone far away overseas, his life or death is uncertain, and I am heartbroken."
Li Muchan understood and said, "Then I'll do as you say. Once I've settled everything for the Tianxia Alliance, we'll set out to sea."
