Mo Guanju's death was very tragic.
Blood sprayed all over his clothes, and his bloodstained face was frozen in shock.
The sharp blade was completely buried in his chest, leaving only the handle outside. There was an inch long wound on his chest — — the murderer wanted to dig out his heart, but was interrupted.
The Northern Yuan sect disciple who witnessed it said solemnly, "I live next door. When I heard senior sister's scream, I hurried over to help, but when I arrived, the murderer had already pierced senior brother Mo's chest. The other person turned and fled. I chased after him with my sword, but my qinggong was no match for him. I only saw that although the person was tall, he was wearing … … a woman's red dress. "
"If you want to talk, then talk. Why are you looking at my sister-in-law?!"
Situ Shuang stood in front of Gou Liang and angrily glared at him.
"Little junior sister, don't be rude."
Yue Qian held Gou Liang's hand and warmly said.
Situ Shuang did not let it go, "He clearly wanted to pin the murder on sister-in-law. Eldest senior brother, how can you let it go? Oh, there are so many people wearing red in the world, how can it be done by my sister-in-law? I also heard that the Demon Sect's leader also wears red! Besides, even if my sister-in-law is the only one wearing red in the entire Southern Mountain, she deliberately wore a red dress to kill someone, and even let you see it. Is she afraid that other people won't know she killed him? Ridiculous! "
"Shuang 'er, don't be presumptuous in front of your elders."
Situ Changtian lectured her, then frowned and said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard that the martial nephew of Sanskrit Pavilion and Northern Yuan was killed by having his heart cut out. Junior sister Ye, Junior brother Xia, in your opinion, is it done by one person? "
Pavilion Master Ye and Chief Xia's faces were ugly. Mo Guanju's death had undoubtedly brought back the unbearable past.
Ji Chun, who was examining Mo Guanju's cause of death, said, "This person's technique is very experienced, but the wound was all caused by brute force. There was no internal energy. If it was done by Bao Jiu, how could it be like this? "
Xia Xinya was sobbing in her mother's arms. Hearing this, she emotionally said, "It's him, it must be him!"
"Ya 'er, what did you see?"
Ji Chun asked.
Xia Xinya cried and said, "Although he covered his face this time, other than him, who else in this world would harm my husband in such a vicious way?"
Madame Xia's heart ached as she hugged her shoulders and said in a sorrowful voice, "Ya 'er, don't cry. What happened just now? Tell us in detail. Your Martial Uncle Situ is a righteous man, he would never let Guan Ju die on Nanshan without knowing why. "
Situ Changtian hurriedly expressed his agreement.
Xia Xinya suppressed her grief and said, "Tomorrow and the next two days will be the day of the final battle. Husband and I were discussing the battle situation in our room when we heard a noise outside the door. Her husband got up to take a look, but he didn't see anyone. Just as he was about to turn back, that person appeared out of nowhere and stabbed her husband in the chest. I screamed and the man turned around to look at me … I would never forget that look. That year, Bao Jiu was like this, he harmed my two senior brothers in front of me. "
Speaking of this, Xia Xinya sorrowfully cried and choked with sobs, "He should have been seriously injured, he didn't have any internal energy. I pulled out my sword and fought with him, stabbing his right shoulder. Then Junior Brother Wang arrived and he ran away. "
As she said this, she stared at Gou Liang with red eyes.
Yue Qian said unhappily, "Junior Sister Xia, why are you looking at Ye Gui like this?"
"I'm afraid that Senior Brother Yue didn't even know that he was tricked! My mother said that his bones are different, he clearly isn't a woman! "
Xia Xinya said with hatred.
Seeing that the other sects' people were looking at Gou Liang in a different light, Situ Shuang opened her arms and shouted, "What is the meaning of this? It's not enough that you slandered my sister-in-law, now you want to slander her as the leader of the Demon Sect? You can't even differentiate between a man and a woman! "
Mr Xia said, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, you know that I came from the Medical Valley and have been studying bone observation since I was a child. I rarely make mistakes. Miss Ye's bones … are indeed different from a normal woman's. May I ask where Miss Ye was just now, was there anyone else with her? "
Gou Liang smiled, "I was alone just now, there was no witness, what should I do?"
Mr Xia opened her mouth to say something, but Yue Qian said with a cold face, "Mr Xia, although Ye Gui didn't marry into my Southern Mountain with a sedan chair, she is already my Yue Qian's wife. Whether he is a man or a woman, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? "
"This …"
Mr Xia was shocked, he didn't expect them to have an affair before the marriage, he didn't feel confident for a moment.
Situ Changtian coughed and said, "Yue Qian and Ye Gui's marriage has already been approved by me, but because of some reasons, it was delayed for a while, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself."
Xia Xinya didn't let it go, "If she is really a woman, why don't you let my mother and Aunt Ye see if there is any injury on her shoulder? If there isn't, then it's best, if- "
"If there is, then what?"
Yue Qian interrupted her, "If there is, then can it prove that he is the leader of the Demon Sect? Miss Xia, don't you think these words are ridiculous? Although I, Yue Qian, am not older than Miss Xia, I have also walked the Jianghu, I can't be bullied by just one word. Today, if I agree to this, in the future, whoever Miss Xia marries, unfortunately, that person will die. Do you want to find Ye Gui to strip and prove yourself? "
"You!"
Yue Qian's words directly pierced Xia Xinya's heart, she immediately became angry.
Chief Xia and his wife also had ugly expressions, but they couldn't criticize Yue Qian, they only looked at Situ Changtian and said, "Senior Martial Brother Situ, my daughter has lost her husband, and her heart is in pain, but if she has spoken rudely, please forgive her."
Situ Changtian hurriedly said it was fine, but his attitude was also firm, "Ye Gui has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, this is definitely not her doing. However, the Demon Sect infiltrated Nanshan and took Martial Nephew Mo's life, it is my fault. Here, I also promise you that I will do my best to give Junior Martial Brother Xia an explanation. "
Then, he said that Gou Liang was frightened today, and asked Yue Qian to take him back to rest.
Xia Xinya looked at Gou Liang's back, the glaring red color made her eyes burn with hatred. Then, she remembered that her mother had never broken anyone's bones wrongly, so she was sure that Yue Qian was covering for her. She immediately pulled out her sword and impulsively attacked Gou Liang's back — —
"Give me back my husband's life!"
Yue Qian raised his hand to attack, but Gou Liang pulled his hand and turned to look at the sword in front of him.
He raised his hand and easily pinched the sword with two fingers, and a strong internal energy rushed towards Xia Xinya, causing her to be knocked back!
"Ya'er!"
The Xia couple shouted. Chief Xia hurriedly flew over to catch Xia Xinya, but even after landing on the ground, he was still forced back a few steps by the internal energy. At the same time, Xia Xinya opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chief Xia was furious. "Miss, what is the meaning of this?"
"What, a thief calling out to stop a thief?"
Gou Liang laughed coldly. His beautiful face was like that of a god, cold and emotionless.
He easily broke the Guan Ju Sword that Mo Guanju had given him, into several pieces of scrap metal, and said condescendingly, "No one has ever dared to point a sword at me. Seeing that she has cursed the deaths of three of her husbands, I won't bicker with her. Chief Xia, please keep a close eye on her. If there is a next time, even if it isn't me, Ye Gui, there will be plenty of people who will take her life. "
"Ya'er!"
Mr. Xia rushed over. "Ya'er, how are you? Ji Chun, come quickly."
Gou Liang threw the Guan Ju Sword to the side in boredom, then pulled Yue Qian away. When he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said with a smile, "That's right, let me give Miss Xia a word of advice. Don't take any more lives. It's not like you can't live without a man. "
"You, you deserve to die … Cough, cough, cough."
Xia Xinya was so angry that she coughed up blood again.
Gou Liang curled his lips in disdain. He raised his hand towards Yue Qian and said, "I'm so tired, I don't want to walk anymore."
Yue Qian picked him up without hesitation and flew away.
When they landed in the courtyard, before Yue Qian could ask about his martial arts, Gou Liang couldn't hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ye Gui!!"
Yue Qian was shocked.
"Lower your voice." Gou Liang wiped his mouth carelessly. "Carry me into the room."
Yue Qian hurried over and placed him on the bed. He asked anxiously, "Where are your injuries? Are they serious? "
As he spoke, he was about to inject internal energy into Gou Liang to heal his injuries. Gou Liang stopped him and said, "I forcefully used my internal energy and suffered a backlash. I'll be fine after eating two meals."
Yue Qian held his ice-cold hand tightly. "What happened to you? Don't hide it from me."
Gou Liang didn't answer. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a moment. He suddenly smiled and said, "Hero Yue, have you never thought that it was just as they said, that I was the one who killed Mo Guanju? That I am the Demon Sect's leader?"
"Nonsense."
Yue Qian glared at him and carefully wiped the blood from his lips. "The one who killed Mo Guanju might be Bao Jiu, but the one they want to force out tonight is not the Demon Sect's leader, but 'Ye Gui'. They also don't want to seek justice for Mo Guanju. They only want the 'Nine Secrets of the Netherworld'. "
Otherwise, why would they go around in a roundabout way to verify whether or not Gou Liang had a birthmark on his shoulder?
Gou Liang hugged him and laughed helplessly.
He thought that Chief Xia and the Left Protector had used Mo Guanju's death to set up a trap. He thought that they would be able to make a big fuss out of it. Originally, he was ready to expose himself, but in the end, it was all bark and no bite.
Yue Qian stubbornly used his internal energy to move through Gou Liang's meridians. He wanted to see if he was injured. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't feel any internal energy in Gou Liang's body. Moreover, his meridians were in disorder. This was a serious injury!
Yue Qian's expression became even more unsightly.
Seeing him continue to question him, Gou Liang said: "My martial arts were originally unparalleled. Otherwise, how could I have lived for so many years? It's just that a few months ago, I fell into the Left Protector's trap, causing my internal energy to be completely destroyed and my meridians to go against the flow. It wasn't easy for me to recover some internal energy these past few days, but I squandered it again just now. "
Yue Qian frowned, "Why did you force yourself just now? Wouldn't it be the same if I did it? "
Gou Liang: "I've always believed that the best defense is offense. Now, even Chief Xia has the intention to meddle in the 'Nine Secrets of the Netherworld'. If one day they shed all pretense of cordiality and want to make a move on me, they will have misgivings and won't fight to the death with me. At that time, I might be able to buy some time for you to save me. "
Yue Qian's gaze was grave as he said: "Your injury cannot be delayed. The Medical Valley is southwest of here. It's only a three-day journey. Let's go there and treat your injury, okay? "
"Just them? Their medical skills may not be better than mine. "
Gou Liang said: "I know my injury very well. Now I can only abandon my martial arts and cultivate again."
Yue Qian's heart ached. This process would be very difficult and painful, but he knew that Gou Liang had already made up his mind, and he couldn't stop him either.
After thinking about it, he said: "There's no time to lose. After the Martial Arts Assembly ends, I'll do it and then protect you."
Gou Liang shook his head, "Nanshan may not be safe."
Yue Qian thought of the several groups of people monitoring the area and muttered: "I'll immediately ask Master for permission to take you away."
Situ Changtian heard the inside story of Gou Liang's injury. Not only did he not refuse, he said: "There's no need to wait until dawn. You can leave tonight."
"Master, what do you mean?"
Situ Changtian sighed deeply, "Wudi, tell Master honestly. Is Ye Gui really a woman?"
Yue Qian frowned, "Why do you ask, Master?"
"With Mr Xia's words, even Master can't help but suspect that Ye Gui isn't a woman, let alone other people. You've always had a plan in mind, so Master won't say much. But Sanskrit Pavilion and Jiuchen Tower will investigate to the end. And now it seems that even the Beiyuan sect is interested in Ye Gui's treasures. You should go out and hide, in case they make another move. "
Hearing this, Yue Qian responded.
Before he left, he said: "Master, although Ye Gui is naughty and temperamental, and does things as he pleases, Master, you should know how to judge people. You should know that he has good and evil in his heart, and will never take the initiative to make things difficult for others … "
"Do I need you to tell me that? Don't worry, Master has never thought of him as an evil person. Don't worry. " After a pause, Situ Changtian smiled and said: "When you come back, Master will host your wedding."
Yue Qian's face lit up, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, Master."
The sky was still dark, so Yue Qian didn't leave with anyone. He took Gou Liang down Nanshan in the dawn light.
Gou Liang, who wanted to cause trouble, was full of regret. He said unhappily: "Running away like that, it seems like they're afraid of someone."
Yue Qian said: "It's better to avoid trouble. When your martial arts recover, it won't be too late to ask them for advice."
Gou Liang didn't argue with him, and he didn't ask where he was going. He yawned and leaned against him, and soon fell asleep.
Yue Qian looked down and couldn't help but laugh. He tightened his arms and hugged him more firmly.
*
South of Nanshan, thousands of miles of mountain peaks lay like a sleeping dragon.
In a valley somewhere, a tall and handsome man was cooking. He stared at the fire as if he was facing a great enemy.
Gou Liang came out of a cave and smelled the aroma of food. He smiled and said: "Not bad, it didn't burn this time."
Yue Qian raised his arm to wipe his sweat. He stir-fried the rabbit meat in the pot and turned around to ask him: "Hungry?"
Gou Liang had spent a full sixteen hours practicing martial arts, and he hadn't even had a sip of water. Thinking of this, he sped up the movements of his hands.
Gou Liang hugged him from behind and smiled as he kissed his cheek and said: "Little girl, you're becoming more and more virtuous."
Yue Qian's smile deepened.
Three months ago, Yue Qian personally crippled Gou Liang's martial arts, and made him suffer. Yue Qian couldn't bear to see this, but this process depended on Gou Liang himself. He could only do what he could to take care of him.
What he didn't know was that Gou Liang had already blocked out the pain. It was just that in the previous world, he had practiced the "unbearable pain" technique to perfection.
Today, Gou Liang's martial arts had already recovered by a layer.
He didn't practice any other martial arts, but rather the "Netherworld's Nine Secrets".
In order to realize the original owner's desire to become the number one expert in the martial arts world, Gou Liang had specially spent 666 points to buy the "Cultivation of the World's Number One Expert Manual" item. Not only did the manual have someone to help him correct and reform the "Netherworld's Nine Secrets" that had been engraved in his mind, but it also taught him a variety of unique martial arts.
Only Gou Liang was worried that he would bite off more than he could chew, so other than the "Netherworld's Nine Secrets", he only practiced the qinggong that he was most interested in.
Sometimes, when Yue Qian practiced martial arts, "he" would give him pointers from the side. After spending so many points to buy an item, of course he had to make the best use of it.
As a result, Yue Qian's martial arts had improved a lot during this time.
After eating, Yue Qian told him, "Last month, we saw the Black Oxypetalum on the cliff. I went to take a look today. It will bloom in two days, should we go and guard it in advance?"
Gou Liang nodded, "Of course, this is a rarely seen good thing!"
It was worth 10 points in the shopping center. It was even more expensive than the Soul Returning Grass.
The two immediately set off.
Gou Liang said, "Hero Yue, are you interested in testing whose qinggong is better?"
Yue Qian was about to answer, but he had already disappeared. His laughter came from afar, "Hero Yue, hurry!"
Yue Qian shook his head and laughed in spite of himself. He quickly chased after him. Two figures, one red and one black, shuttled through the forest in hot pursuit. Gou Liang's martial arts had not recovered, so he could only sit on a tree to rest.
The leaves rustled. Yue Qian stepped on the tree trunk and lightly landed beside him. He squatted down and wiped his sweat while laughing at him, "You can't do it?"
"Saying that men can't do it, do you want to die?"
Gou Liang stared at him.
Yue Qian laughed and picked him up. He jumped onto another tree and slowed down.
When they reached the top of the cliff, it was already dusk. The Black Oxypetalum on the cliff was indeed budding. The two set up a fire on the cliff, covering the sky and lying on the ground. They watched the sun set and the night gradually crept up.
"Are you cold?"
Yue Qian hugged him tighter. It was already late autumn. Although this area was like spring all year round, the temperature in the mountains was still very low.
Gou Liang said, "How can it be cold with you here?"
Yue Qian looked at his smiling face and could not move his eyes away. Gou Liang raised his head and kissed him on the lips. His voice was seductive, "Are you satisfied just by looking at me?"
Yue Qian laughed.
These days of being alone with Gou Liang was enough for him to practice some skills. He obediently lowered his head and kissed Gou Liang. Yue Qian said in a low voice, "With you by my side, I am satisfied."
Gou Liang raised his eyebrows and pushed him to the ground. He kissed him carelessly and held him. He asked meaningfully, "What about now? Is it really enough?"
Yue Qian's passion was like fire. He could not withstand teasing. Yue Qian's breathing was heavy. He flipped him over and pressed him to the ground, kissing him eagerly.
They rolled and overlapped. It was difficult to separate them. The cloak on the ground was soon full of wrinkles and was left to the side. At the last moment, Gou Liang greedily swallowed the rich soul power into his mouth. He was like an evil spirit sucking essence from the mountain forest. He had no sense of shame and did not know how to be satisfied.
Yue Qian's eyes were heavy. He was almost driven crazy by him. He held his face and kissed him, restraining his more dangerous desires.
Gou Liang said, "Continue."
"Hmm?"
Yue Qian did not understand.
Gou Liang swallowed his throat. He forced himself to be calm and guided his hand behind his back. He pressed his lips against his and said hoarsely, "Yue Qian, continue."
Yue Qian's breathing changed a few times. His fingers stopped at the indentation. He looked at Gou Liang's blurred eyes. He was almost rough and hurried as he pressed him under his body. "Xiao Kener, Xiao Kener …"
The moon sank into the clouds. The resplendent luster of the galaxy was not extinguished for the entire night.
The epiphyllum welcomed the first ray of sunlight in the morning. It bloomed with a beautiful figure. Amidst the confused and unfamiliar panting, it was like a lonely flower that withered after each time it admired itself.
