Volume 5: The Gathering of Storms Chapter 274: Killing Tools
In the Neiwei Mansion, in Ku Niang’s bedroom.
No one said a word. They all stared at Xu Zun, their eyes filled with surprise and awe. They were already astonished at how amazing Xu Zun was.
Especially Zhao Yu, who is well versed in the ways of the world, has a face full of admiration and has long regarded Xu Zun as his idol.
You have to know that man is one of the top masters in the entire Daxuan Dynasty. A single move of his finger could take Xu Zun's life.
But Xu Zun pointed at his nose and cursed him. If several people had not just peeked through the crack in the door, no one would have believed this scene.
Huo Anu was so scared that she wanted to rush out with an iron rod, but fortunately Zhao Yu was calm enough to hold her down.
Ani's feelings were different from those of Zhao Yu and Huo Anu. She cared more about what Xu Zun had said before.
Xu Zun said: "Kuniang is the person closest to me. Not to mention that she was injured, even if she was not injured, I would not let her be threatened in any way..."
Even though the person Xu Zun was talking about was not herself, Ani still felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She remembered that it was Xu Zun who stood in front of her in the main hall of Wanfu Palace.
And everything that happened back then. If it weren’t for Xu Zun, I would have died in humiliation!
Thinking back to the tenderness and love of last night, Annie knew deeply that Xu Zun was a man of courage, affection and righteousness.
If there is danger in the future, Xu Zun will definitely stand up to protect me...
Therefore, Ani's eyes were full of admiration, and she was even more devoted to Xu Zun.
At this time, in addition to Zhao Yu and the other two, Dongfang Yaorao from the Divine Detective Department was also in the room.
Although her injuries had not healed yet, she was too bored to bear the thought of going to Ku Niang's room to see if she could help.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was discussing how to treat Ku Niang, Ah Xiuzai hurried in again.
This time, Ashurai held a visiting card in his hand.
"Sir..." Ah Xiu said nervously, "That Yue Jinglei still refused to leave and insisted that I send you a visiting card. Please take a look!"
Hey?
Everyone was surprised.
Huo Anu grumbled angrily: "This guy is really shameless, why doesn't he get out of here!?"
"It's bad, it's bad," Zhao Yu was worried, "People like this are shameless, who knows what weird things they'll do!"
Xu Zun was also a little impatient, and immediately opened the visiting card, but saw a line of words written crookedly inside -
[Let me in, I can treat illnesses, can I see if I can treat the illness? ]
I don’t know if there was no ink at the back, but the signature only had the word “Yue” and a vertical heart radical.
However, although the handwriting was not very good, Xu Zun was suddenly excited. His eyes rolled and he quickly walked outside with the visiting card.
When the guards opened the gate of the Inner Guard House, Xu Zun seemed to change his expression and greeted them with a smile:
“Senior Yue, Senior Yue…” After seeing Yue Jinglei, Xu Zun bowed repeatedly, “Please come in quickly. I’m sorry for the inconvenience…”
As he said this, he respectfully gestured for Yue Jinglei to enter the mansion.
This time, Yue Jinglei was completely stunned. His previous expression of "I have never seen such a rude person" turned into "I have never seen such a shameless person!"
After cursing, it turned into this in the blink of an eye?
"I... um..." Yue Jinglei seemed unable to speak, "I'm going to see the doctor. You mean the heroine is injured?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Zun almost supported him as he quickly nodded and bowed to invite Yue Jinglei into the Inner Guard House. "Oh, I didn't expect that you are not only a martial arts expert, but also a top-notch doctor!"
“No, no, no, no…” Yue Jinglei waved his hands, “It’s just for personal use, it’s not the best, you… um… you’re too polite…”
Now that Xu Zun had done this, Yue Jinglei was too embarrassed to mention the scolding he had just received.
After one stick of incense.
After Yue Jinglei finished taking the patient's pulse, his expression became extremely solemn.
No way?
Seeing Yue Jinglei's expression, Xu Zun's mood instantly plummeted.
"Hmm..." Yue Jinglei looked at the people in the room, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Zun.
Xu Zun understood immediately and asked Zhao Yu and others to go out first.
Soon, Xu Zun was the only one left in the bedroom.
"Senior Yue," Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "How is Ku Niang's injury?"
"Strange, very strange..." Yue Jinglei looked at Ku Niang and asked, "How did she get the burns on her head and the scratches on her cheeks? Did someone torture her?"
"This..." Xu Zun could only answer, "I'm not too sure about this. Ku Niang is a quiet person and no one knows her past."
"If I'm not mistaken," Yue Jinglei said thoughtfully, "she should have been besieged by three masters at the same time, right?
"Among them, there is one who uses Nanyang evil magic and holds two swords; one is good at using poison and uses a soft sword; and there is another one I know, he should be Gongsun Yelang!"
"Senior Yue is amazing," Xu Zun clasped his fists, "Your guess is absolutely correct."
"Tell me honestly," Yue Jinglei asked, "what happened to those three people?"
"Well..."
Xu Zun thought about it. Although it was a secret at the moment, everyone in the hall had seen it, so there was nothing to hide.
What’s more, what about Yue Jinglei?
So Xu Zun nodded and replied: "All three of them are dead!"
Few people knew that Luo Jia was still alive, so naturally they couldn't tell anyone.
"Oh, really?" Yue Jinglei fell into deep thought. After thinking deeply for more than ten seconds, he said with a little shame, "Fortunately... I didn't compete with her! Otherwise... one of us must die..."
Wow...
Xu Zun was secretly surprised.
"Alas!" Yue Jinglei sighed and whispered to Xu Zun, "Master Xu is right. We are ruffians who only know how to show off our strength and win. We are really hurting others and ourselves!"
"This..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Senior Yue, after all this talk, how serious is Ku Niang's injury?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Yue Jinglei said, "This girl has undergone a menstrual and marrow cleansing, and she will recover soon."
"What?" Xu Zun glared, "Stop kidding, is there really such a thing as cleansing the meridians and marrow?"
"Washing the meridians and removing the marrow is just a saying," Yue Jinglei explained, "but if you are proficient in pharmacology and have been immersed in medicine since childhood, it will be of great benefit to your practice!"
"You mean..." Xu Zun felt incredible, "Kuniang has been soaked in drugs since she was a child?"
"Practicing martial arts... is to strengthen the body," Yue Jinglei said solemnly, "but this girl is practicing a rare killing skill in the world!
"No wonder she has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age... What a pity..."
"What a pity?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly.
"The basic creed of an assassin is to be ruthless and desireless. You will always be a killing tool!" Yue Jinglei revealed the secret, "Moreover... such a training method is extremely cruel and will affect your lifespan."
It’s so…
Xu Zun discovered that what Yue Jinglei said was all right. No wonder Ku Niang was more like a robot!
"Then..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Do you know her master? Could it be that Mao Jifang..."
"Mao Jifang?" Yue Jinglei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mao Jifang's Blood Evil Palm is indeed vicious and cruel, and it can be considered an absolute killing skill.
“But…” Yue Jinglei shook his head and said, “Mao Jifang’s youngest disciple is older than me!
"Besides, the Blood Evil Palm's hand is black, it doesn't look like..."
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "What sect do you think she belongs to?"
"Speaking of sects," Yue Jinglei thought, "it seems to be closer to Xiazhou Ruan Clan!"
ah!!?
Hearing this, Xu Zun suddenly got goose bumps all over his body...
…
