Volume 2, Chapter 19: Meeting and Giving the Sword.
Dongfang Qingzhu was stunned, and then his eyes were filled with horror.
Obviously, he didn't expect that this would be the first sentence Ye Tingmu said when he saw him.
I can't help feeling a little indescribable loss.
At the same time, I feel a little angry.
On the other hand, Ye Tingmu seemed as if nothing had happened. Instead, he touched his chin and tilted his head in thought.
"No, it's not a painting! It doesn't look like one." There was a hint of reproach in his eyes as he spoke, and his tone rose slightly. "Tell me, who told you to get a tattoo? You're so naughty at such a young age."
Dongfang Qingzhu was stunned again, and then a hint of anger appeared in her eyes.
Her hands were clenched into fists.
Her eyes were wide open, and her cheeks were bulging under the blush.
Then he suddenly shouted: "Ahhhhhh...Ye Tingmu, I will kill you."
As he spoke, purple lightning appeared in his hand.
As powerful as a swimming dragon and as gentle as a flying snake.
She threw herself towards Ye Tingmu.
Ye Tingmu did not dodge or evade.
The moment she pounced on him, he stretched out one hand.
The broad hand holding the sword was placed on her head.
Then rubbed it gently.
A doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
The depth in his eyes exuded a warmth like moonlight.
"Thank you for your hard work these years."
The magnetic voice echoed in Dongfang Qingzhu's ears.
But it roars in my mind.
She stopped.
The electricity also dissipates.
Time seems to have stopped at this moment.
She looked up at the boy in front of her.
Four years have passed, and scenes from this time have passed through my mind.
She never dared to rest those days and nights.
Practice, cultivate, practice, cultivate, in an endless cycle.
The ancestor died, grandfather passed away, and the future of the Dongfang family fell on her.
She didn't dare to rest or complain of being tired.
She bit her lip with her white teeth.
Shaked his head.
A hint of redness quietly appeared in her eyes.
Ye Tingmu also looked at her, although he was not in Beimang.
But he knew everything about the Dongfang family.
Oriental Qingzhu was in a trance for a day.
He knew Dongfang Qingzhu's condition in the past two years.
Although all this was not his fault, it was caused by him.
He promised to protect the Dongfang family for a thousand years.
He also knew that Dongfang Qingzhu would come here, but he didn't expect that they would meet so early, which seemed a bit hasty.
Goodbye girl, you are no longer the same as before.
Less innocent and more restrained.
Less immature and more mature.
Seeing that Dongfang Qingzhu's eyes were red, Ye Tingmu quickly let go of his hand.
He hated to see girls cry, especially the girl in front of him.
Because he would feel an inexplicable pain in his heart, even if it was only for a moment.
But I feel it so clearly.
He patted his waist.
A long sword appeared in his hand.
"Let's get down to business. How about giving you a sword?"
Dongfang Qingzhu wiped his eyes, looked at the snow-white sword in front of him, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Several people behind him sighed.
"Shijie, what do you see falling on the ground?"
"No!"
"Goosebumps! Didn't you see I have goosebumps all over the floor?"
"Hahaha...it seems so."
Yang San also cooperated unusually and said: "So, it seems that I have fallen too. Eh... I can't stand it anymore."
Ye Tingmu turned his head.
He glared at a few people.
"What are you doing? Have you finished your work? Believe it or not, I'll cut you."
A few of them curled their lips and started working honestly.
Dongfang Qingzhu held the sword in his arms and giggled foolishly.
The two of them strolled towards the lake.
One in front and one behind, their shadows were dragged very long in the afterglow.
"What's the name of this sword?"
“Painting snow.”
Dongfang Qingzhu wrinkled his nose.
"Who named it?"
"It's me."
She smiled sweetly, turned thunder into lightning, and painted snow. She liked it very much.
"I can't use a sword?"
Ye Tingmu stopped when he heard that.
Then he turned around, lowering his eyebrows.
"Then return it to me."
Dongfang Qingzhu took a step back and jumped away.
"Why?"
"Because you don't know how to keep it and waste it."
"I don't know how, please teach me."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows.
"It's not impossible, but..."
"But what?"
"I can't teach for free, I have to pay."
"Okay, I'll give you whatever you want."
"But....you must first pay me back the 100,200 taels I owe you, and then I will trust you."
"Ah.....Look, there are fish over there."
"No, don't run away. When will you pay me back the money you owe me?"
Dongfang Qingzhu turned around, made a face at him and stuck out her tongue.
“Why should I pay back the money I owed based on my own ability?”
"Depend on....."
At this moment, she became a girl again.
The carefree girl four years ago.
Rather than Dongfang Qingzhu, who shoulders the rise and fall of the entire family.
Time always flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
The bright moon and the starry sky can be seen everywhere in this world.
The reflected lake surface is sparkling.
The wind is very cold by the mountain lake in late autumn.
Everyone sat around the campfire.
Talking about the plan of entering Wanshou Mountain.
Since I have promised the second elder to protect the Chao family bloodline, I also need to make some plans.
Although he is very strong and invincible without the extraordinary ability, he always needs to know about some things, whether out of curiosity or for some other reason.
He threw a piece of wood onto the blazing fire.
"Li Gao, tell me, among the eight divine clans of the East China Sea, besides the Jiuzhou clan, the Chao clan, and the Canghai clan, who else is there?"
Li Gao took a dry branch and drew big circles on the ground.
Then they began to talk slowly, making marks in the circle from time to time.
"In addition to the Jiuzhou Canghai, there is also the Nangong clan of the Beixuan Empire."
"The Chi clan of the Western Wasteland witch tribe."
"The Mu clan of the Divine Tree Empire."
"The Jin family of the Eastern Sky Empire."
"The Ouyang family of the Nanyan Empire."
"The Long family of the Red Flame Empire."
"Eight great divine races and eight great empires."
"Canghai clan is good at water."
"The Jin family is good at preventing and controlling Jin."
"The Mu family is good at attacking and can control the heavens, the earth, and the plants."
"The Long family is good at fire."
"The Ouyang family is good at driving."
"The Nangong clan controls the glaciers."
"As for Chishi, his abilities are the most miraculous. He can control poisonous insects, corpses, and even cast curses."
"Adding the kindhearted Chao clan, these are the Eight Divine Clans of the East China Sea."
Ye Tingmu touched his chin after listening to this.
Whispering softly.
"Nangong clan... Nangong Tian, Nangong Yan, could it be that they are from the Beixuan Nangong Divine Clan?"
Although it is true that the two of them are senior brothers who watched the chess game, I have never asked about these things.
In the past few years, he has been governing South City, practicing swordsmanship, and reading.
I haven't learned too much about these things.
Li Gao nodded.
"Yes, the Chao family and the Nangong family have some grievances. When the two of them became disciples, the old man Wensheng made them swear that if a war broke out between the two countries, they would not help the Nangong family."
Ye Tingmu nodded.
The royal family was kind to Liu Bai, so he was extremely loyal to Jiuzhou.
A gentleman will die for his friend. This is especially important for those who study.
Li Gao continued, "For some unknown reason, the seven major divine tribes have always been very hostile to our Chao clan. If it weren't for the precious divine bones enshrined in the temple, the seven nations would have been wary and would have attacked us long ago."
"Divine bone? What is that thing?" Ye Tingmu couldn't help but be curious.
I heard the second elder of the clan mention it once during the day, but I didn't ask at that time.
"I don't know either. I just heard from my master that once the divine bone is out, it can summon the blood-granting god of the Chao clan to help. Anyway, it's very awesome."
