Chapter 3: First meeting with Ke Xuan, attack and defense change

Eagle Sorrow Gorge.

Located more than 30,000 miles south of Qingming Sect, the river is swift and deep. It is a natural blessing that has given birth to countless monsters. Such a precious land has no big monsters entrenched, so it is naturally coveted by countless monsters.

A few months ago.

A demon python that transformed into a dragon appeared from nowhere and occupied the stream. Not only did it claim to be the king of the stream and gather demons together, it also treated passers-by as food and even swallowed several inner disciples of Qingming Sect. It also boasted, "I will swallow all the disciples of Qingming Sect who come one by one." This angered the high-level officials of Qingming Sect. The six sects jointly issued a bounty mission for this demon python. The reward for the mission was extremely generous, including the sword that Xu Yang's predecessor had nurtured for many years.

As the eldest disciple, Yuan Kexuan did not want his master's sword to fall into the hands of others, so he accepted the task.

now.

The Yingchoujian, which used to be noisy and bustling, now seemed to be devoid of sound. It was unspeakably quiet, even terrifyingly quiet.

Looking around, there were countless corpses of monsters floating in the stream, dyeing the water surface bloody, and the fishy smell was overwhelming. The paradise that originally belonged to the monsters had somehow turned into a netherworld water hell that harvested lives!

In the stream, on a huge rock sticking out of the water, a graceful figure stood.

The woman was dressed in black without any patterns or ornaments on her clothes. She looked extremely capable and plain, but she had an inexplicable aura that could not be ignored.

Looking at her appearance, her eyes are clear and pure, her lips are naturally rosy without any rouge, her face is beautiful, and there is a sense of transcendence and purity between her eyebrows.

Yuan Kouxuan

As for her figure, the loose robe couldn't hide her magnificent and tall figure, her perfect waist and her slender and plump curves.

"Having this demon pill as a token of trust should be enough!"

Yuan Kexuan held a natural demon pill in his hand, and then kicked it lightly, causing the body of a python that was dozens of feet long to fall into the water, causing quite a splash.

His expression showed no sadness or joy, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"It's been two days since I left the sect. It's time to go back!"

Yuan Kexuan muttered something, and suddenly, the jade slip on her waist made a sound. She raised her eyebrows, and a hint of anticipation appeared on her icy face.

She took down the jade slip and drew a few lines in the air with her fingers. Soon, ripples appeared in the void, and a mirror-like picture appeared in front of her...

Looking at Situ Qingqing in the picture, Yuan Kexuan frowned slightly, and the expectation on his face disappeared quietly, returning to his cold and cold expression: "Xiaoqing, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Situ Qingqing was already feeling guilty, and when she saw the horrific background of corpses everywhere and blood-stained streams in the picture, she became even more terrified. "Big sister is too cruel. The monsters in Yingchoujian must have been killed. I must not let the secret show!"

Situ Qingqing hurriedly said, "Big Sister, I'm not the one looking for you, it's Master who wants to see you for something."

Master?

Yuan Kexuan's expression changed slightly.

Based on her understanding of her Master, he always did everything himself and never relied on others.

She clearly noticed that Xiaoqing's eyes were evasive when she was talking and she didn't dare to look at her, which meant that Xiaoqing was either lying or hiding something from her.

"Xiaoqing, do you remember why I punished you last time?"

Yuan Kexuan asked.

Situ Qingqing's expression froze, and she asked, "Big Sister, why did you suddenly mention this?"

"The last time I punished you was because you accidentally broke Master's favorite blue and white porcelain cup, but you said it was Yaoyao who did it." Yuan Kexuan said to himself, "After I punished you, I also warned you, 'If you do it again, the punishment will be doubled.'"

"Now it seems, Xiaoqing, you didn't take my words to heart at all!"

Hearing this, Situ Qingqing was shocked. That punishment made her unable to get out of bed for seven days. Every time she thought about it, her butt would ache slightly.

"I didn't lie to you this time. Master asked you to go to Fulong Mountain to get the inner elixir of the mountain king. It's true. Master told me so himself. I swear!"

Situ Qingqing was panicked and spoke without thinking.

She was extremely scared of the senior sister. If she really admitted that she lied, the consequence of "double the punishment" would not be something her small body could bear.

In fact, she also realized that she was confused and that was why she did it. The elder sister's sword heart was pure, and her action was no different from an old man hanging himself...

But since she had already told the lie, she could only deny it, otherwise she would be left with nothing to hide.

Yuan Kouxuan's expression turned cold: "Xiaoqing, did I tell you that when you lie, your face will be particularly red, red and hot, as if you have just had a fierce fight with someone."

"You can even see this!?"

Situ Qingqing screamed in her heart. She was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She could hardly speak clearly. "Senior Sister, I am..."

Situ Qingqing was racking her brains, thinking about how to defend herself.

The master's gentle voice came from outside: "Xiaoqing, are you there?"

"Why is Master here?"

Situ Qingqing was so scared that her face turned pale.

She really wanted to turn off the communication jade slip now, otherwise when her master and the eldest sister met, everything she had done would be exposed. According to the eldest sister's temperament, she would definitely come back with a sword in hand to chop her down...

She is going to die!

Yuan Kexuan saw all the changes in Situ Qingqing's expression, which made her more and more certain that Xiaoqing was lying to her: "Xiaoqing, why are you standing there? Didn't you hear Master calling you?"

"Oh, Senior Sister."

Situ Qingqing forced a smile on her face, but it looked uglier than crying.

She said weakly, "Master, Qing'er is here, please come in!"

Xu Yang walked in wearing a black robe made of cloud brocade. His long hair was casually tied up with a black headband. He had a perfect figure, a pair of sharp sword-like eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes. He was indescribably free and unrestrained.

He didn't want to come look for Situ Qingqing, but in order to quickly improve his cultivation, he had no choice but to inconvenience this disciple.

He looked at Situ Qingqing and found that this disciple's state was completely different from when he ate him before. His eyes were complicated, his lips were trembling, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if someone was holding a sword to his neck.

“Master!”

An ethereal and clear voice was heard.

Only then did Xu Yang notice the image that appeared in the void like a mirror. In the image, an icy beauty was staring at him intently. The contrast between her fiery eyes and her cold temperament formed a sharp contrast, causing Xu Yang's heart to skip a beat.

'The eldest disciple, Yuan Kexuan, is well versed in swordsmanship and has a pure sword heart. His personality is as cold as an iceberg. Apart from his master, he is not polite to others, even his junior sisters.'

'In the original novel, she put her whole heart on Xu Yang, but her heart was set on the moon, but the moon was shining on the ditch. Her kindness was repeatedly ignored by Xu Yang. She was disheartened and left Ziyun Peak to travel in Zhongzhou.'

'When Xu Yang was beaten by the protagonist, Yuan Kexuan had already made a name for herself in Zhongzhou. Many people called her the Sword Fairy. Later, the Qingming Sect was wiped out by the powerful people from the Demon Palace who were provoked by the protagonist. The protagonist fled to Zhongzhou in a panic. In a secret realm, he met Yuan Kexuan again, and then they reconciled inexplicably! '

Xu Yang recalled the plot of the novel and couldn't help but want to complain.

With Yuan Kouxuan's personality, if he knew that the protagonist had killed his master, he would have drawn his sword on the spot. How could he reconcile? !

This is the kind of brainless plot that only idiot authors would come up with! Pah!

After Xu Yang cursed the author in his heart, he looked at Yuan Kexuan and said in a gentle tone: "Xuan'er, I remember that you went to Yingchoujian to kill the dragon. How did you have time to communicate with your fourth junior sister through the jade slip?"

Yuan Kexuan was stunned. Her master had never called her in such an intimate way before. Could it be that...

Her earlobes turned red as she said truthfully, "Reporting to Master, I have already gotten rid of that evil dragon python. I was about to leave and return to the sect, but Xiaoqing sent me a message saying that Master had ordered me to get rid of the mountain beast in Fulong Mountain as well!"

Situ Qingqing's face turned pale and she buried her head in her chest.

Hearing Yuan Kexuan's words, Xu Yang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Situ Qingqing.

This made Situ Qingqing bury her head even lower. She was as timid as a quail. She was completely different from the evil disciple who had bullied his master before.

Xu Yang suddenly found it funny. This scene was exactly the same as described in the novel. Situ Qingqing was not afraid of anything except her senior sister Yuan Kexuan.

And...it's really interesting!

"You're dead now!"

Situ Qingqing's body trembled slightly, and she was waiting for the storm to come.

Being expelled from the sect is a light punishment...

My fate will definitely be worse than that of the dragon python...

Skin peeling and cramping, woo woo woo...

But the expected scene did not happen.

Xu Yang just smiled and said, "It was indeed my order."

Situ Qingqing suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Yang in a daze, with confusion in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why her master would cover up for her evil disciple.

But now is not the time to dwell on such things. She raised her head and looked at Yuan Kexuan, who was obviously stunned in the picture. She curled her lips and said aggrievedly, "Big Sister, you heard it, Master ordered you to do it. I didn't lie to you."

Even though Yuan Kexuan knew that there must be something fishy about this matter, she always obeyed her master's words. After hearing her master defend Xiaoqing, she did not intend to investigate further. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, "Since Master needs that inner elixir, I will go to Fulong Mountain to get it for you!"

Hearing what the senior sister said, Situ Qingqing appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually very surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, her goal would finally be achieved.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang waved his hand and said, "No need. I found that the ancient recipe I found was fake. Xuan'er, you'd better come back early. I miss you so much."

After saying this, the spirit stones that maintained the jade slip's communication were completely consumed.

What did Master say just now...

Miss me...

Yuan Kexuan sat on the rock stupidly. When she came to her senses, her fair cheeks were flushed like peach blossoms in February, bright and charming.

…

…

In the attic.

The air quieted down.

After a while.

Situ Qingqing was a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyebrows, twirled a strand of hair with her fingers, and asked shyly, "Master, why are you covering up for me?"

Xu Yang smiled and said with a bit of evil humor, "Qing'er, you don't want your senior sister to know that you betrayed your master and ancestors, right?"

Situ Qingqing: (ฅωฅ*)
