Chapter 95 Be Careful
He glanced at the empty air around him.
Li Cheng immediately stood up from the bedside, walked lightly to the wall, and lowered his eyes.

At his feet, there was a visibly warped wooden board.

He lowered his body and lifted up the heavy wooden board, and he saw a wooden box slightly larger than a palm hidden underneath.

There was no rush to pick up the box,
Li Cheng was quite interested in this timing mechanism.

If the third junior brother were here, he would be so excited that he would stay up all night after seeing it.

unfortunately,

He squatted on the ground and studied for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

Sure enough, each has its own strengths, and professional matters have to be handled by professionals.

Li Cheng reached out to take out the wooden box, and then pressed the wooden floor back to its original position.

With some thin moonlight,
He flicked open the copper buckle lightly, and found a thin envelope lying flat inside the wooden box.

He quietly put the envelope into his arms, stood up and walked towards the bedside with the box in his arms.

Momo closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes fell on the system panel in front of him:
[Name]: Li Cheng
[Cultivation]: Fifth level Tongxuan realm, middle level
[Sword Qi]: 520.00/1000 (including sword accumulation bonus)

[Current Poetry]: "Poetry"

[Current Achievements]: (blank)
[Use Reward]: (blank)
Before, Bai Ye asked him under the cloister pavilion whether Xie Tingfeng entered the realm of land gods after using that sword.

At that time, I knew the answer, but I couldn't tell the truth.

In fact,
Maybe it only takes a few dozen breaths in total.

But within those few dozen breaths, Xie Tingfeng truly became a second-grade land swordsman.

Because the moment before the opponent turned into starlight and disappeared,
The last sword he swung was deeply engraved in Li Cheng's mind as a sword.

The name of the sword is Qing Kuang.

With Wu Anhou's youthful spirit of God-killing, he could form a set of combos.

If not, just call it youthful and frivolous.

Shaking his head secretly, Li Cheng quietly put away the panel in front of him.

Xie Tingfeng returned to his peak state due to the vitality of heaven and earth, which itself touched certain laws of heaven.

He was not surprised that the other party could see through his body and cultivation.

But what surprised him slightly was,
The junior sister was obviously closer to the other party, but the other party chose to pass Jian Yun to him.

This is not just a simple gift, but also represents some kind of inheritance.

Looking through the Xuan window, I looked at the Cangjian Cottage hidden in the mist of the lake.

Li Cheng couldn't help but smile, and gradually figured out Xie Tingfeng's state of mind at that time.

The other party probably hopes that he can complete the unfinished business of his life...

……

……

The next morning was sunny.

Ningfengdu, which has always been bustling with people, has specially opened up an orderly open space.

More than a dozen luxury carriages were lined up and parked at the ferry, looking impressive.

Xie Guanchao, who got off the carriage, looked at the river not far away, which was still as old as before, and couldn't help but feel sad.

I just said goodbye to my sister and brother-in-law at the West City Gate, and now I have to see my niece and nephew off again.

After this farewell, I don’t know how many years or months it will take before we can see each other again.

Li Cheng, who was dressed in a rich black dress, held his junior sister's slender hand and stood by the embankment planted with willows.

The gentle breeze from the river gently blew the girl's pure white clothes.

The girl looking towards the river blinked her peach blossom eyes, then turned around and looked at Xie Guanchao timidly:
"I'm going back to Jiangning, uncle, take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Xie Guanchao suddenly felt his nose sore, and replied with a smile:

"Uncle, remember, Yan Yan, you should also take care of yourself, and remember to come home to play when you have time."

After all,

He saluted Tang Sanzhang next to the young men and women, with a sincere expression:

"Thank you very much, Dean, for visiting Xie's Mansion in person. I have thanked Dean for taking care of Yan Yan over the years."

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your kind words," Tang San, who heard the words, smiled gracefully, with a calm expression:

"Yan Yan is my true disciple, I treat her like my own daughter."

"This is Yanyan's good fortune, and it is also an honor for my Xie family."

Just when the two of them were polite to each other,

The passenger ship on the river moved from far to near, almost approaching the shore of Ningfengdu.

The people who came to see him off all saw the young man in white standing at the bow of the ship, with a tall figure and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

The other party held a sword without a scabbard in his arms, which was a bit dazzling under the sunny sunlight.

The discerning practitioners on the shore couldn't help but hissed secretly.

Because they recognized the sword in the young man's arms.

The seventh one on the sword list is the Holy Sword Spring and Autumn.

The Saint Soldier of the Jiangnan Academy was also the sword once worn by the Confucian Sage.

When the ship slowly approached the shore,
The young man jumped down from the bow of the ship lightly and stood firmly in front of everyone.

The young man, who had the habit of bowing his hands to everyone, introduced himself in a cold voice:

"I'm Zhu Zhao, I've met you all."

After all,

He maintained the posture of holding the sword, took the initiative to stand behind Li Cheng, and maintained a 45-degree angle to look at the sky.

The main thing is a strong style.

Thinking of those ridiculous rumors about the other party, Xie Guanchao smiled nonchalantly and looked at Tang San with a smile:

"In this case, I would like to wish the dean a safe journey."

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

After a polite conversation.

The four masters and disciples of Tang San boarded the boat and went south along the river.

Xie Guanchao, who was standing on the shore, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the passenger ship that gradually turned into a small black dot. He remained silent for a long time.

I don't know when,

Xie Jingzhi left and came back. He came close to Xie Guanchao and lowered his voice:

"Father, there is news from the house that my sixth uncle... has passed away."

Hearing this,

Xie Guanchao couldn't help but frown, but still remained calm.

The sixth uncle mentioned by the eldest son was his uncle, Xie Zhiyao, who had been restless recently.

The other party's behavior before and after Tingfeng's death was quite abnormal.

Xie Guanchao wanted to send the guests away and then treat each other, but unexpectedly, he suddenly took the first step.

"When did it happen?" After pondering for a moment, Xie Guanchao asked with an unchanging expression.

"Sixth uncle fell asleep this morning. News came back from the mansion just now that he could not be rescued."

"Accident or man-made?"

He whispered to himself, but before his eldest son could answer, Xie Guanchao said firmly:

“No, it can’t be an accident!
There must be someone who wants to use Xie Zhiyao's death to throw dirty water on me, and at the same time to cover up something. "

After all,

He turned to look at the clan elders with different expressions not far behind him.

Presumably, they have also received the news at this moment.

With a slight sigh, Xie Guanchao took a step forward and whispered to his eldest son:
"Let's go, go home."

He knew that there must be a long-brewing storm waiting for him in the house.

……

……

On board the passenger ship.

It was only then that Li Cheng was able to safely take out the envelope he had carried all night.

At this moment, he was alone in the cabin of the cabin, with his master and junior sister next to him on the left and right, so there was nothing to worry about.

Facing the bright sunshine outside the porthole,
He carefully opened the envelope, looked inside, and found a piece of letter paper folded in half and a uniquely shaped ring stuffed inside.

First taking the letter paper out of the envelope, Li Cheng saw that there was only a short line of words on the paper——

"Go to the Datong rice store on Yunque Street and ask for the secret code: Feng Yin Niao Sing."

Yunque Street is a bustling street located on the bank of Longyin River.

As for Datong Rice Store, Li Cheng had no impression at all.

Keep the information on paper silently in your heart,
He then unfolded the folded letter and turned it over, and saw a few words hidden on the back.

In a flash,

His pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and his heart suddenly tightened.

It was as if I suddenly fell into a cage in the deep sea and experienced the suffocating feeling of despair.

Just because of the four words written in vermilion on the letter paper——

"Beware of the Holy Duke"
