Chapter 1726 Don’t Draw Your Sword Against Me
The sect leader was silent for a while, but suddenly he smiled softly and said,
"Nothing, go ahead."
Xia Fuyi stared at him silently and said,
"Your Sword Pavilion Master told me that you are the most powerful person in Tianji Sect. If I win the competition, I will have the opportunity to fight you."
"You don't have that chance now."
The sect leader answered very straightforwardly, nonchalantly and even with a hint of a smile,
"You can go now."
As he spoke, he walked towards the palace-like house.
Xia Fuyi looked at him and said coldly,
"Are you kidding me?"
"It's not me who's playing tricks on you. It's Mu Ningqing. You can go find him."
The sect leader walked leisurely, but did not stop.
Just as he was about to reach the door of the house, a green figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
But under the mask, he didn't even blink, and raised his hand to grab her wrist as if with premonition. His internal force burst out silently in an instant. The man's hand tightly grasped her slender but extremely powerful wrist, and slowly but firmly, he pushed the sword she was about to draw back into the scabbard.
The hilt of the sword hit the scabbard, making a crisp clanging sound.
The wind rose silently, lifting the girl's jet-black hair and then letting it fall down.
Xia Fuyi was stunned.
This was the first time she lost to someone in a competition of internal strength.
The sect leader was already next to her ear, and with a slight smile in his voice, he said to her,
"Don't draw your sword against me, Xia Fuyi."
"This is the first time, but also the last time."
He reached out and gently tugged at the hair beside her ear, and said in an almost intimate tone,
"I forgive you only this time."
The man gently pushed her away, entered the room, walked into the depths without closing the door, and disappeared.
Xia Fuyi was still standing in front of the door in a daze.
Although the man's tone and even his actions were intimate, she didn't know why she felt a chill deep in her heart.
Even in the coldest winter, the air with strong wind and heavy snow is not as cold as those words with a smile.
Xia Fuyi stood at the door and stayed quietly for a long time.
The wind was very strong on the top of the mountain, and the roar of the waterfall was close to her ears. She slowly looked at the entire mountain top again with a dark and strange gaze.
There is a waterfall cascading down, a sturdy tree standing beside the waterfall, and a small and exquisite stone table under the tree with a chess game on it.
When Xia Fuyi saw the chess game, she was suddenly startled.
During the five years on Taixu Mountain, she could see the unfinished chess game every day. Although she didn't know how to play chess, facing the same chessboard day after day and month after month was enough for her to remember the position of every chess piece.
And at this moment, on this stone table, the chess game...
Xia Fuyi walked forward slowly, wanting to see more clearly in order to confirm this subtle sense of familiarity.
But she had just taken two steps when someone behind her called her down.
Xia Fuyi took another look at the chessboard, shook her head slightly, and secretly denied the suspicion in her heart.
In this world, apart from himself, Changsun Qingzhao who played chess with the master at that time, and Li Chi, there should be no one else who knows about that chess game.
She gave up on walking over, took one last look at this place that seemed inexplicably familiar to her, and turned to leave the top of the mountain.
This time, it wasn't Mu Ningqing who led her personally. After she got off the strange machine, the servant who led her saw that she kept looking towards the top of the mountain, and couldn't help but said to her,
"Do you know why we at Tianji Sect built this machine to the top of the mountain instead of creating a mountain road to get there?"
