Chapter 152: Meeting Again in Fenghua State (8000)

"Oh, I saw something related to me at the female Taoist priest's place. Can you tell me what it is?" Xu Bai said.

Xu Bai was actually quite curious about the crazy female master.

Although she had kidnapped him to the cave, Xu Bai could feel that even though she had completely fallen into madness, she still wanted to find a trace of clarity in this madness.

So he really wanted to know what the female master's state was like, and whether a short period of clarity could really make her gradually recover.

Unfortunately, the head of the Ye family didn't seem to be talking about this issue. After Xu Bai asked, she organized her words a little and said what she said.

"Ye Zi was taken away at the beginning, and then she saw something. She found that the thing was exactly the same as this wood carving."

As she said that, the head of the Ye family pointed to the wood carving placed aside.

This wood carving was exactly what the unknown Si Zheng found in the wild. He found that it looked exactly like Xu Bai. When he came to Fengling Mansion to investigate the matter of the mansion order, he brought it to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai was also very curious at the time. After seeing the progress bar above, he stayed by his side and never had time to grind. Later, he went to the bottom of the river and entered the Monster City again. A series of things happened, so he kept it in this place.

Now, the head of the Ye family told him that this wood carving had appeared in the female master's place, and Ye Zi had also seen it. Could it be carved by the female master?

The head of the Ye family continued: "The crazy female Taoist priest is still carving, and only carved a semi-finished product.

"So I suspect that this wood carving was carved by her, maybe it is related to Lord Xu."

"But I don't know what the connection is, so I can only tell Lord Xu. "

Xu Bai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Now it seems that it was really carved by the female master, but why did this female master carve a wood sculpture exactly like him? There is room for thought.

It can't be that the other party admires him, so she carved it for him?

It is even more impossible that the other party admires and loves him, so she carved his appearance day and night, and took out the wood sculpture to do some strange things when it was late at night.

There must be deeper reasons, but Xu Bai couldn't think of them.

But these are not important. The important thing is that he now knows that Ye Zi is fine, so he has to leave quickly and find Ye Zi as soon as possible.

It just so happens that this route is also on the way, so there is no time to lose and set off immediately.

"Master Ye, I have to say goodbye first. "Xu Bai said.

As he finished speaking, the True Energy surged, and the fourth-grade puppet that was slumped on the ground not far away moved and stood up again, like a tireless guard.

The head of the Ye family did not expect Xu Bai to leave as soon as he arrived, but after hearing Xu Bai's words, it was difficult to keep him, so he just gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xu, so many things happened when you came to Fengling Mansion this time. It is indeed that my Ye family did not take good care of you. If there is anything you need to compensate, you can tell me at any time. "

It's more than just not thoughtful enough.

Xu Bai has been missing for several days in a row. If she hadn't come back this time, she wouldn't know what to do.

The person the emperor favored, and the accident happened on the way to the capital to receive the reward, and the accident happened in Fengling Mansion. It is impossible for the Ye family to wipe out the blame.

What's more, they were not injured at all, but Xu Bai was in trouble. At that time, even if there were a hundred mouths, it would be difficult to refute, not to mention that once the emperor was furious, how could he give them a chance to refute?

Fortunately, nothing happened, everything was just a false alarm.

"I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, when Ye Ziruo can integrate Yin Xianqu, he will definitely get it back for you." Xu Bai said lightly.

This is a deal. Xu Bai is a businessman at certain times.

The head of the Ye family said ashamedly: "In this case, I will trouble you, Lord Xu. From now on, the Ye family is the vanguard of Lord Xu. If you have anything to do, just let us know. The Ye family will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation. "

Xu Bai smiled, but his eyes moved away from the head of the Ye family, and turned to look at Kong Xu beside him.

Kong Xu had not spoken, just standing beside him, silent.

Does he want to speak?

Of course he wants to speak.

But he knows that now is not the time to speak, after all, the two are still talking about important things. If he interrupts rashly, it will make Xu Bai unhappy, and then the gain will outweigh the loss.

Now seeing Xu Bai's gaze, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Master Xu, can I... find a secluded place? I have something important to discuss with Master Xu."

The head of the Ye family is a discerning person. He saw it at a glance and smiled: "Since the two of you have something to discuss, I will take my leave first."

With that, the head of the Ye family left the room directly.

After the head of the Ye family left, only Xu Bai and Kong Xu were left here, as well as Old Sun beside Kong Xu.

Xu Bai looked at Kong Xu with interest and said: "Go ahead. "

This second young master of the Kong family, his father is an official in the capital, and his official position is equivalent to that of a state magistrate.

Such a person should have enjoyed a life of luxury, but he was left with a second character.

He did enjoy a life of luxury, but it also meant that he would never make any progress in his life.

He had an older brother, and he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. As long as he became the head of the family, the next step would be to deal with him without any scruples.

His father, the head of the Kong family, was an extremely conservative person who valued ethics more than life, so he would never allow him to usurp the throne.

Even if Kong Xu was better than his older brother in all aspects, it would be impossible.

In Xu Bai's view, Kong Xu was also a genius.

Although he was only at the fifth level, don't forget that Kong Xu practiced both as a scholar and a hexagram master.

Practicing both is an extremely terrifying thing. As mentioned before, the more you practice, the slower you will be. This is not reflected in Xu Bai, but it is reflected vividly in others.

As for why Kong Xu wanted to practice dual cultivation, just by looking at the fact that he was practicing as a fortune teller, it was clear that he also wanted to know some opportunities in order to seek his own safety.

Kong Xu gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to ask Lord Xu to introduce me to cooperate with the Ninth Princess."

Xu Bai frowned. This answer was indeed unexpected.

He thought that the other party wanted to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect that he was asked to introduce him, and the target of the introduction was the Ninth Princess.

Xu Bai had only heard of the Ninth Princess, but had never met her. The only person he had met was Qingxue, the Ninth Princess's personal maid.

Xu Bai also understood and finally knew what Kong Xu's purpose was.

This guy is very dangerous now. To be honest, if he relies on his own ability alone, no matter how strong he is, he can't resist the arrangement of the family. He will definitely lose his position in the family, and losing his position in the family is an extremely dangerous situation for him.

So, the best plan now is not to rely on his own strength, but to seek help from others. The royal family is an excellent choice for him.

The Kong family is indeed a prosperous family, but compared with the royal family, it is still far behind. If Kong Xu can get into the royal family, even his father will be in awe.

"I don't have much in common with the Ninth Princess. If you want to have expectations in this regard, you may end up with nothing." Xu Bai said.

"I understand your idea now, but your idea is still unrealistic. Even if I can introduce you, what ability do you have to make the Ninth Princess agree?"

"More importantly, can you be absolutely sure that the Ninth Princess will be interested in you?"

Regardless of whether he introduced him or not, if Kong Xu's own strength is not strong enough, then even if he is introduced, he will be mediocre and mediocre. At that time, the head of the Kong family will still not take him seriously.

Kong Xu took a deep breath and said, "Lord Xu, you may not think your face is very important, but in fact, your face is very important."

"Don't worry, I also have the ability to make the Ninth Princess agree, but what I lack now is an introduction."

"As long as Lord Xu can say a few words in front of the Ninth Princess, I will have a stepping stone. If it doesn't work at that time, I will only blame myself, not Lord Xu."

As he said, he looked at Mr. Sun on the side.

Mr. Sun now only has one arm left. When Kong Xu's eyes were cast over, he also took out a book very sensibly and handed it to Kong Xu.

Kong Xu held the book in his hand and slowly brought it to Xu Bai, saying, "Master Xu, please take a look. This is my fortune-telling book."

"I know that Master Xu particularly likes to read other books, so I think no matter what gift it is, it is not as good as this one."

"If this book can be fully understood, it is equivalent to the ability of a second-grade profession. Unfortunately, there is no matching mental method."

"If Master Xu does not mind, you can use it as an item for this transaction."

The fortune-telling book is a little worn out, and even the words on the cover are blurred, but in front of Xu Bai, a golden progress bar appears on the book.

A second-grade fortune-telling book?

Xu Bai's eyes showed a subtle eagerness.

He had actually coveted the ability of fortune-telling for a long time, but he had no chance to obtain it. Fortunately, he could predict the future and even find a lot of clues.

Xu Bai still has a long way to go. If he has this ability, it will be like a tiger with wings for him and can play a decisive role.

"Okay, I'll do this business, but you said at the beginning that I'm only responsible for introductions, and the rest is up to you."

It must be said that Kong Xu is still bold, and he gave away the second-grade fortune-telling book as soon as he said it.

"Don't worry, Lord Xu, I keep my word." Kong Xu said.

Xu Bai took the book in his hand and handed it to the fourth-grade puppet beside him, saying: "I'm going to leave immediately, do you want to go with me?"

Kong Xu shook his head and said: "My injuries are not completely healed. Even Old Sun needs to rest for a few days, so I won't trouble Lord Xu."

Although the Ye family used a lot of medicine and their injuries were almost healed, there were still some that were not healed, so they planned to rest here for a few more days.

There is a saying that goes, "See through but don't point it out."

These two guys didn't want to rest for a few days, they were afraid that they would be assassinated again if they followed Xu Bai all the way. After all, the two guys' goal was achieved.

This was a transaction, and the item for the transaction was the second-grade fortune-telling book in his hand. Xu Bai had to hurry to find Ye Zi on the way, and of course he would not let them follow him and slow down his progress.

Next to him, the fourth-grade puppet carried a bag and held the wooden sculpture, following Xu Bai.

"Let's go."

Xu Bai did not stay any longer. After saying something to the head of the Ye family, he rode a fast horse and traveled to the wilderness outside. He walked very neatly.

The head of the Ye family and Kong Xu saw him off at the door. They looked at each other only after Xu Bai's figure disappeared.

"We'll have more exchanges in the future."

"Of course, of course."

While complimenting each other, the two returned to the Ye family...

...

Xu Bai didn't care what the two had to say later, as he had already arrived in the wilderness.

While on the road, he was thinking in his mind.

The trip to Fengling Mansion was very fruitful.

Not only did he get supplements in terms of his soul, but he also got supplements in terms of his immortal body.

These two things were his shortcomings, but now they have been supplemented to a large extent.

The only regret is that the immortal body still cannot protect the soul, which is a regret for him.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I must work hard in this area and make up for the defect of soul protection as soon as possible."

The recovery speed of his physical body has reached a terrifying level, but the soul is the only shortcoming.

If he can supplement the recovery speed of the soul, he can truly perfect this technique.

"But there's no rush now. Let's think about where to start next."

Xu Bai now has three options for how to progress the next progress bar.

The first option is to continue to progress the Nameless Sword Scripture. If he finishes this thing, it will definitely be more than one grade, after all, he has integrated a lot of other skills.

The second option is to progress the fortune-telling book. It is already clear that this fortune-telling book is at the second grade level. Although it is not a mental method and cannot improve strength, the second grade skills also have great advantages.

The third option is wood carving.

If it were before, he would temporarily exclude the wood carving, but now, after learning that the wood carving is related to the female master, Xu Bai has a mind.

Could it be related to the skill of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi?

To be honest, the mechanism of the skill of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi is particularly perfect, and it can give back to the other in the same way.

But there is a serious disadvantage, which is that the grade is too low. At Xu Bai's current level, the grade of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi can no longer meet his daily needs.

This skill itself was created thanks to the female master, and after integrating other skills, it became what it is now.

The perfection of its mechanism is such that even if the female master saw it that day, she would force him to take away.

From this, it can be seen that if this skill can be improved, it will definitely be a powerful combat force.

When Xu Bai thought of this, he had already prioritized the nameless sword scripture, and finally entangled in the wood carving and the second-grade fortune-telling book.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Bai finally decided to work on the wood carving first.

The reason is simple. If the progress bar of the wood carving is really as he thought, it will definitely be a huge improvement for him. Although the second-grade fortune-telling book can play an excellent auxiliary role for him, it is not as strong as the wood carving in terms of combat power.

Even if it can be calculated, if the strength is not enough, everything is empty.

What's more, there is no order between the two. At most, the total time is extended. Anyway, he still has to stay in other places later, so it doesn't matter. Putting the second-grade fortune-telling book at the back is just a slight delay.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai's mind moved.

The fourth-grade puppet acting as a vanguard in front moved, tied the wooden sculpture behind his back, and let the wooden sculpture face Xu Bai while riding a horse.

Xu Bai followed behind on horseback, staring at the wooden sculpture, and slowly increased the progress bar.

...

Time passed unknowingly. During this period of time, Xu Bai kept riding non-stop except for staying in Yinyi for a while.

Unfortunately, he still did not catch up with Ye Zi.

And now, he is getting closer and closer to the next target...

...

Fenghuazhou ranks second among the prefectures and roads in Jingzhou.

As a state, this area is naturally extremely large, and the prefectures and roads under its jurisdiction are also numerous.

At this moment, a woman with a veil on her face, holding a fast horse in her hand, is slowly pacing on the street.

Although the woman is wearing a veil, in the eyes of others, she cannot hide her temperament.

Stunning and eye-catching.

Ye Zi didn't know how to ride a horse, and she didn't know how many times she fell along the way, but she eventually learned it.

If she wanted to follow the path of the young master, she had to learn these things, and fortunately she had a talent in this area.

"Stay here for a while, then leave." Ye Zi glanced at the streets around her and thought to herself.

Ever since she knew that Xu Bai had disappeared and thought that Xu Bai was dead, Ye Zi's heart was torn and she was in grief. That night, she cried all night.

In this world, Xu Bai really treated him as a person, not as a commodity.

Especially when she thought of Xu Bai in that wilderness, protecting her behind him, hugging her tightly, and enduring endless attacks with his back, Ye Zi's grief became deeper and deeper.

That night, she had wanted to follow Xu Bai countless times, but every time she had this idea, she remembered what Xu Bai had not completed.

So, after crying all night, Ye Zi, who was gentle inside and strong outside, finally made up her mind and decided to finish the road that Xu Bai had not finished.

That day, she came to the riverside and played a song.

"Young master, you must be very lonely at the bottom of the river alone."

Ye Zi had made up her mind that as long as she finished this road, she would return to Fengling Mansion, return to the riverside, and jump into the river so that Xu Bai would not be so lonely.

"This is the only person I have met in this world who treats me as a human being, so I will follow you after death."

Ye Zi led the horse and walked while thinking.

Not long after, she came to the inn.

After opening a room upstairs, Ye Zi asked the waiter to take the fast horse to feed it, and then left the inn alone, planning to find a place to eat.

Since she had been with Xu Bai for a long time, Ye Zi also tended to go to some stalls to eat.

After eating a simple meal, Ye Zi was not in a good mood. She returned to the room and stayed there alone.

Xu Bai was gone, and Ye Zi suddenly felt that her life seemed to have lost its direction.

She stayed in the room like this, and she did not go out. Time passed slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

It was getting late, and she planned to rest and get ready to leave tomorrow morning.

Originally, she planned to stay for a while, but Ye Zi found that the longer she stayed, the more anxious she was in her heart. She wanted to finish this road as soon as possible, return to the riverside, and accompany Xu Bai for the rest of her life.

Blowing out the oil lamp in front of her, Ye Zi lay on the bed and prepared to sleep.

Unexpectedly, she had just closed her eyes when a sound came from her ears.

Ye Zi suddenly turned over and came to the corner of the wall.

The sound just now came from the corner of the wall. She heard it clearly, as if there was a conversation.

Originally, she would not do such a thing as eavesdropping, but the content of the conversation just now made her open her eyes wide.

Tiny voices came from the other side of the wall.

"Have you heard that Xu Bai is not dead? He has reappeared and is on his way."

"Then our plan must continue. Notify our men to kill Xu Bai on the way."

"Are you crazy? Many people tried to kill him on the road before. Don't you know what happened in the end? Do you still want to take this old road now?"

"What should we do?"

"What else can we do? Give up this road for the time being."

"Give up, you mean don't kill him. Don't forget that if he enters the capital, it will be like a fish entering the sea. At that time, it will be his world."

"Haha, there are so many people who want to kill him. I will take you to a place tomorrow and you will know."

...

Voices came from the other side of the wall.

Ye Zi was stunned on the spot. Only one sentence came to her mind...

"The young master is not dead..."

She also figured out the identity of the person on the other side of the wall. It must be the person who assassinated Xu Bai.

None of these matters. The important thing is that the young master is not dead!

An emotion called joy reverberated in Ye Zi's heart. Ye Zi's dead mood was rekindled, and her gray eyes also shone.

Ye Zi covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound, and quietly returned to the bed, but the joy in her heart was like a tidal wave.

Xu Bai was the beacon in her heart, illuminating her who had been living in darkness. Now this beacon was lit again, and Ye Zi could not describe her mood at the moment.

Tears kept flowing, and she even forgot to wipe them.

The young master is not dead...

Ye Zi's tears wet her face, and she only knew to repeat these four words in her heart.

After a long time, the excitement gradually subsided.

When her mood calmed down, she thought of something else.

"The young master is not dead, he must take this road, I just need to wait here, and I will definitely meet him again." Ye Zi thought to herself.

In addition to joy, she thought of what she had just heard.

"These people should be the ones who want to kill the young master. They won't attack the young master on the road. It seems that they want to wait for the young master to come in before they attack."

In his mind, the words just said kept emerging, and Ye Zi was also thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

The people on the other side of the wall didn't seem to want to talk anymore, and soon there was no sound, and Ye Zi couldn't hear any other movement.

Just like that, a night passed.

The next morning, Ye Zi, who hadn't slept all night, got up early and came to the corner of the wall.

There was movement on the other side of the wall again, a sparse sound, as if someone was washing.

After a while, the people inside left the inn.

Ye Zi stood there and thought about it, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​following.

Although she has entered the fourth rank, her combat power is not strong, and she is more inclined to assist. She is not a stupid person. Don't follow at this time, so as not to cause trouble to the young master.

"Everything... Let's wait until the young master arrives."

Thinking so, Ye Zi went out directly and came to the entrance of Fenghuazhou.

She wanted to wait here. This was the only entrance from Fengling Mansion to Fenghua Prefecture. She wanted to see the young master as soon as he arrived.

People were coming and going around. Ye Zi found a tea stall and sat there, staring at the city gate.

People were coming and going around. The city was bustling and lively. Compared with the mansion, the bustle of the prefecture was a world apart.

The tea was finished. Instead of Xu Bai, she waited for an irrelevant person.

"This girl, drinking tea here alone, it seems that she is worried."

A young man in silk and satin, shaking a folding fan in his hand, slowly sat opposite Ye Zi.

The young man was handsome, and with the expensive clothes on his body, the folding fan in his hand also looked expensive, showing extraordinary temperament.

Ye Zi drank a sip of tea, put down the teacup, glanced at the young man indifferently, and did not speak, and continued to drink a sip of tea.

She knew her beauty and the thoughts of these playboys.

But now she didn't want to say a word.

Compared with the young master, the young man in front of her... hehe.

Not even a hair of the young master can compare.

"Miss, what do you mean?" The young man was slightly stunned, and then said: "I just talked to the young lady, why are you full of contempt for me?"

The young man's name is Jiang Tong, the eldest son of the Jiang family in Fenghuazhou.

The Jiang family is a family specializing in silk trading, and has exchanges with many large families.

And the business of the Jiang family is martial artists.

That's right, martial artists.

It does sound a bit strange for martial artists to trade in silk, but they can't resist their talent in the business world, and they have made a way in Fenghuazhou.

Today, Jiang Tong was strolling around, and suddenly saw a beautiful woman drinking tea here, so he rushed over with great interest.

I thought that with my looks and family background, I could chat and get closer, but I didn't expect that this beautiful woman ignored him at all.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Jiang Tong arched his hands and prepared to leave.

Not all the children of noble families in this world are good-for-nothings.

On the contrary, due to their family background and origins, they have received a good education since childhood and have learned to be low-key.

In the Great Chu State, the laws are strict. Except for small places like Sheng County, the larger the city, the more cultivated these family children are, and they also understand that there are people better than you in this world. Under normal circumstances, they will not offend them.

Ye Zi drank tea and didn't care about this person. She just kept looking at the city gate, expecting that figure to appear.

Jiang Tong took a few steps and was about to leave, but before he walked far, he heard a joyful voice behind him.

"Young Master!"

There was joy in the voice, and a little sob, as if he had been wronged for a long time and finally met someone to vent.

Jiang Tong was stunned. In Fenghuazhou, there were also many people who called him Young Master. He turned his head subconsciously.

Then, he saw the beautiful woman who had been there before, running towards the city gate like a gust of wind, and quickly throwing herself into the arms of a young man.

The beautiful woman's face was still covered with crystal clear tears.

"This..."

Jiang Tong was subconsciously stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The woman who was as cold as black ice just now was now passionate and threw herself into the arms of a man. This scene made Jiang Tong doubt himself.

He looked up and down at the young man, and then he found that the young man looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

The next moment, Jiang Tong finally knew where he had seen him, in a portrait.

His father, the head of the Jiang family, had shown this portrait to everyone in the Jiang family, and the scene in the picture was exactly the same as the young man in front of him.

This is... the blood-slaughtering swordsman!

Xu Bai!

Jiang Tong was shocked.

In fact, when Ye Zi threw herself into Xu Bai's arms with passion, Jiang Tong was still wondering where he had lost. Now it seems that he did not lose unfairly!

This is the Blood Slaughter Swordsman. Now, it is widely known in the whole world. No one does not know the Blood Slaughter Swordsman.

After Jiang Tong was surprised, he suddenly thought of something. Then he thought for a moment and walked towards Xu Bai.

Dad said that if you want to make friends with this person, you must show your sincerity.

Now many families have this idea. In this case, I will take the initiative when I see him at first sight.

At this moment, Xu Bai hugged Ye Zi and touched her head.

After rushing these days, he finally arrived, but he did not expect that Ye Zi was already waiting for him at the city gate.

I think the news that he is not dead must have been widely spread a long time ago. It is reasonable for Ye Zi to wait for him at the city gate.

He originally planned to find a place to rest and finish the wood carving. After all, he had been traveling for a long time, and the progress bar of the wood carving was not much different. But he thought that Fenghuazhou was not far away, so he just went to Fenghuazhou to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, he really ran into Ye Zi at first sight.

"Sir, I hope you are okay." Ye Zi choked.

She had thousands of words to say, but when they gathered at her lips, only this sentence remained.

Yes, I hope you are okay.

Ye Zi only hoped that Xu Bai was okay, and didn't care about anything else.

Thinking of this, she hugged him tighter.

Xu Bai sighed and was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, a sound of footsteps sounded, and he raised his head and looked in the direction of the footsteps.

"I am Jiang Tong from Fenghuazhou, and I have met the Blood-Slaughtering Swordsman." Jiang Tong bowed.

In his opinion, he could call out the other party's title at once, which would definitely attract the other party's favor in the first step.

But unexpectedly, he found that Xu Bai's face turned black.
