Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Gu Huaijin, do you want to kill him?
Heng Huang's soft whip was as thin as a tiger's whiskers, yet as long as a vine. It swung in the air for a long time before it was released and hit the ground, even breaking off some pieces of the floor tiles.
Li Xuanbai unsheathed his sword with a swish, whirling it around with a humming sound. "Your thing, which looks like a string bean, you think you can call it a whip? I think it's just perfect for tying your waistband."
Heng Huang's face flushed red. "How dare you say such nonsense? I must teach you a lesson today!"
The whip spun in the air, creating a whistling sound and causing the seats on and below the martial arts viewing platform to crackle.
The audience covered their heads and dodged in all directions. Yi Haichuan drew his sword and protected Nan Qiongshuang. "Miss Chu, we'd better step back."
Li Xuanbai didn't even glance at the commotion here, and jumped onto the railing of the martial arts viewing platform.
The whip suddenly swept over, Li Xuanbai bent his body and used the force to kick, and the whole person bounced away like a locust and jumped onto Heng Huang's head.
Heng Huang watched Li Xuanbai flying in the air, but her hands were unable to react in time. Li Xuanbai leaped lightly in an arc above her head, raised his sword to block the long whip coming towards him several times, and when Heng Huang finally exerted her strength to swing the whip in the distance, he raised his hand, and two or three beads like stray bullets flew straight towards her wrist as if they had spiritual consciousness.
Heng Huang barely twisted her body to block a few times, and suddenly she screamed "Ah--" and the long whip suddenly fell to the ground, knocking her wrist and arm up together. However, she forced her body back in an instant, and several shadows of her left hand came out of her sleeve, and suddenly a series of shadows like small whirlpools drilled into the air, following Li Xuanbai closely.
Li Xuanbai leaped a few steps in the air, remaining calm even as those little gadgets chased him.
"With this little ability, you still dare to brag about being the Sect Master's daughter every day? If I were you, I would have dug a hole and buried myself in it long ago. It would have been worthy of the sect if I had died earlier."
Heng Huang had already pressed his wrist and forced the whip to pick it up, but his wrist was shaking violently:
"You're such a boast! Green-eyed fly, jumping around like that! If I whip you, don't blame me for ripping your wings off."
Yi Haichuan tried to mediate: "Senior Brother Xuanbai, Miss Heng's wrist is injured——"
No one cares.
Li Xuanbai laughed, and several more beads shot out as he made a move, as if they had consciousness and went straight to Heng Huang's wrist. "Then come on, draw it, who are you waiting for?"
One bead flew towards Heng Huang's face, and Heng Huang was stunned. The other two beads took the opportunity to hit Heng Huang's wrist holding the whip.
"You're so foul-mouthed, and you think you're such a big deal to have a little daddy. You're showing off every day. Who do you really think you are? Broaden your horizons."
Heng Huang dropped the whip to the ground. He covered his wrist, veins bulging on his temples. "How dare you...how dare you..."
Li Xuanbai laughed, "How dare you?" Another bead flew out in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a snow sword stretched out from the side and blocked it fiercely. The bead immediately hit the sword and bounced off with a clang. The sword hummed. Song Yaojie was furious, "Li Xuanbai, Miss Heng is an honored guest on the mountain. How dare you act rashly!"
Li Xuanbai had already leaped into the air. Because he was far away, his voice was light and airy. "What's imprudent? What's not imprudent? Is this imprudent?" The voice fell from above, "--I can be even more imprudent."
Then, he dropped from the sky and stepped on the forehead of Heng Huang who was looking up at him.
Heng Huang didn't even make a sound.
Li Xuanbai hopped down on one foot as if nothing had happened, dusted off his hands and said, "It's fun. It makes a lot of noise."
Heng Huang stood there with the shoe print on his head for a long time without moving.
Yi Haichuan drew his sword and stood in front of Nan Qiongshuang: "Miss Chu, we need to move back a little further."
The crowd around them retreated more and more silently, and only the few people involved stood in the empty space in the middle, as if the middle was a barren and poisonous land.
Nan Qiong Shuang rubbed her eyebrows with a headache.
The crowd was silently stunned, looking at each other with admiration and fear.
Li Xuanbai, watched by everyone around him, walked over to her with a normal expression, humming a little tune and sheathing his sword. "Tell me, the sound of a person's head being so loud when you step on it is because there's too much water inside?"
"Miss Heng, Miss Heng!" Song Yaojie sheathed her sword, held the scabbard in front of Heng Huang, and said anxiously:
"Report this matter to Master, and he will naturally make the decision for Miss Heng. Besides, your wrist is already injured. If you don't get treatment in time—"
Yi Haichuan also put away his sword and stepped forward with a bow: "Miss Heng, it is best to treat your injury quickly. Joint injuries cannot be delayed, not to mention Senior Brother Xuanbai's temper--" When he said the second half, he was afraid because the person involved was right next to him and stopped talking.
Li Xuanbai wasn't actually listening to the conversation. He walked up to her and held out his hand. "Where's my fan? Is it with you?"
Nan Qiong Shuang: “…”
Li Xuanbai: "Why aren't you talking? That fan is so exquisite. It disappeared when you stayed at my place last time. Isn't it with you?"
Nan Qiong Shuang said at the beginning: "Not here."
Li Xuanbai hissed in confusion, "Where is it?"
Nan Qiongshuang ignored him and looked over there. She saw that Heng Huang, after Song Yaojie's repeated persuasion, finally stomped his feet and left with Song Yaojie.
Nan Qiong Shuang sneered in her heart, he was so lawless, he was spoiled by his family.
Yi Haichuan was ordered to guard her and wanted to go forward, but Li Xuanbai glared at him and he had to retreat to the side in a cold sweat.
She saw it and smiled helplessly: "Did you train well during these days of seclusion?"
Li Xuanbai chuckled, resting his arm on the bleacher railing. "Didn't you see me just now? I'm as light as a swallow. Even if that loser comes back this year, I'll definitely be the champion."
She didn't care who was the leader, but she suddenly remembered something.
Are all their natal beads so dazzling and colorful?
She stretched out her hand towards him: "Can you show me your natal bead?"
Li Xuanbai hugged his shoulders and gave her a look, "I can't give it to you. I can even show you this? This is something you only need to make a living on Tianshan Mountain."
She had made herself look bad, so she withdrew her hand. "So, Master Li will lose his job if he shows his beads to others."
"Don't try to provoke me with your words. This is the rule in our Tianshan Mountains."
"Oh, you're following the rules now." She said with a half-smile, "If you really want to follow the rules, then follow them. If you don't want to follow the rules, then don't."
"Of course. Isn't that how rules are used?" He spread his hands and said, "Did you bring my Nong Shan Yue?"
Nan Qiongshuang leaned on the railing and listened quietly to him continue.
"I just offended that woman. I'm afraid she'll do something bad to me when I'm on stage."
He also leaned on the railing, looking down. The mountain breeze was gentle, and his hair brushed the small teardrop mole at the end of his eye. "I must win the championship this year. You happen to be sitting in the middle, it's a good seat, please keep an eye on me."
She took out the Nong Shanyue flute from her sleeve. Gu Huaijin would not let her touch this flute no matter what, but the more he forbade her, the more she wanted to take it with her, not to mention that it was something that could help her call Li Xuanbai immediately.
"You mean, use the flute to help you point out the direction of the object?"
Li Xuanbai smiled: "Exactly."
She twirled the flute in her hand, "Why bother using your flute then? Aren't other things the same?"
Li Xuanbai laughed triumphantly, "I just want to see if you have my things with you."
Crazy. Nan Qiong Shuang rolled her eyes.
"But you must win the championship this year?"
"Yes." Li Xuanbai seemed a little emotional. He rested his arms on the railing and looked at the sun gradually rising over the valley in the distance. "For this reason, I also brought some things with me."
"What is that?" She suddenly saw the sugar threads stuck to her long hair again, and she became angry. She took a handkerchief and pinched off the sugar bit by bit.
Li Xuanbai suddenly opened his palm right under her eyes, and in his palm was a small round ball.
"What is this?" She pushed her hair back.
Li Xuanbai just looked deeply in his eyes and smiled without saying a word.
Nan Qiong Shuang took the ball and shook it.
It is very light, but it doesn't look like poisonous fog or something like that, and it is not uniform inside.
It was shaken hard, and when I put it next to my ear, there seemed to be some rustling sounds inside, regular but subtle. For some reason, it sounded a bit scary.
She suddenly realized that the thing inside might be alive.
She was surprised for a moment, "You brought a poisonous insect?"
Li Xuanbai had originally put on a mysterious attitude, wanting to show off and keep her in suspense, but she had guessed it in an instant, and he was momentarily annoyed: "How did you know?"
Nan Qiong Shuang remained silent.
She said, "Who are you going to use this on?"
Li Xuanbai smiled, "What do you think?"
Nan Qiong Shuang didn't know what to feel for a moment. It seemed like some emotions were naturally bubbling up, but she suppressed them deliberately. She just asked calmly, "What kind of Gu? How is it cultivated? How does it work?"
"Centipede Gu. It will burrow into the blood it sees." He laughed, the earring dangling ostentatiously and devilishly. "When the time comes, just make a small cut and flick it with your hand, and he'll be dead in no time."
Why die? Gu Huaijin is dead, where can she find the mountain-guarding jade tablet?
She asked, “So, how do we solve it?”
Li Xuanbai folded his fingers over his arm, tapping his fingers intermittently. "I don't know. I've never solved it. I guess I have to dig this worm out, right? Even a god or a man can't dig it out."
After saying that, he glanced at her with a half-smile: "Want to give that Gu a solution?"
If you really succeed, you will ruin my good deeds. Nan Qiong Shuang lowered her eyes and turned Nong Shan Yue in her palm.
"I don't care. I'm going down the mountain anyway." She said, "When will I hand over the document for leaving the mountain to Gu Huaijin?"
Li Xuanbai's mood brightened at the mention of this, his fingers tapping on the railing like he was playing a piano. "Why not wait until his poison takes effect and he's about to die? That's when he's probably most desperate." He actually laughed happily as he spoke. "Just imagine, when he's about to die, what's his expression? If he hears that you and I are going down the mountain together, what will it be like? I've been thinking about it for a month, I've been dreaming about it."
She frowned for a moment, feeling upset, and rubbed her eyebrows.
"What? You don't want to see it?" He keenly noticed her momentary departure and immediately changed his expression. He snatched Nong Shan Yue from her hand and tapped her forehead. "I've lived in his yard for a month, and you don't recognize me anymore, right, Chu Jiaojiao?"
She put the flute away and said, "Stop it." She turned her head away.
"Explain yourself clearly." He strode to her other side and put his hand on the railing to prevent her from looking elsewhere. "You promised me that you would go down the mountain together, so I left you with him for a month. How come, now..."
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and a meteor-like bead suddenly hit the railing that the two people were leaning on, creating some sparks.
The wind blew Li Xuanbai's small earrings, and he immediately stared at the direction where the beads came from, with a sinister look.
Gu Huaijin opened his hand, and in an instant, the bead was obediently returned to his palm. He put it into his sleeve with ease, and walked in front with a normal expression. Behind him followed Song Yaojie and Heng Huang, with their sleeves fluttering as they walked. They walked from afar under the respectful or awe-inspiring gazes of the disciples on the mountain.
She was surrounded by a group of disciples from the mountain, but among them all, Gu Huaijin seemed to only see her, staring at her without even a moment's blink.
She actually felt a little guilty and lowered her eyes.
Suddenly, the people around her knelt down and saluted, and the person in front of her suddenly became shorter.
She stood in the middle, a little surprised for a moment, feeling uncomfortable standing out like a crane among chickens.
Gu Huaijin just nodded perfunctorily, looked at her lovingly and said, "Jiaojiao." He climbed the steps of the martial arts viewing platform and walked straight towards her step by step under the gaze of everyone.
The disciples around her hurriedly and silently scattered like birds and beasts, and the space around her was suddenly empty.
Nan Qiong Shuang's heart slowly lifted up, and she silently took a half step back.
Finally, he stood in front of her, picked up a strand of her hair and twisted it between his fingers, "Didn't I tell you not to talk to him?"
She didn't know how to answer for a moment. Li Xuanbai beside her sneered and pushed his fingers out of her hair. "Do you care whether she talks to me or not? Take your hands away."
Gu Huaijin lowered his head, his long eyelashes quietly pressing against his eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what he was thinking.
This guy has been acting a bit strange lately, and even Nan Qiong Shuang doesn't dare to provoke him too much, so she pulls on his sleeve and shakes it, gently admonishing: "Huai Jin..."
Gu Huaijin had no expression on his face.
Li Xuanbai laughed, looking at his expression with interest. "Hey, what's that expression? Are you angry?" He crossed his arms, "Very interesting. It turns out that our Young Master Gu also gets angry one day. I thought you were useless."
Gu Huaijin ignored her, just held her arm, pulled her to his side, and said coldly:
"I heard that you beat Miss Heng? My uncle ordered me to come and mediate. I want to ask you what happened."
The shoe print on Heng Huang's face had faded considerably, but a small red mark still remained on his forehead and nose. His cheeks were flushed red with anger, and the color had not yet faded. "That's right. This ignorant scoundrel dared to act so rashly for such a small matter!"
Li Xuanbai looked at her coldly: "How dare you say that?"
Heng Huang smiled: "Just wait and see. Will Gu Huaijin side with me or you, and will the elders on the mountain side with me or you."
Suddenly, she saw Nan Qiongshuang sticking to Gu Huaijin's side. She moved over and pushed the two of them apart, squeezing herself in between them.
Heng Huang: "Stop coming closer, get away!"
Nan Qiong Shuang lowered her eyes and smiled at her stupidity.
Gu Huaijin was silent for a moment with a cold expression, then he sighed and smiled, his voice very soft:
"Miss Heng, are you done yet? The face I gave you isn't enough, do you want more?"
That tone made Nan Qiong Shuang's whole body go cold.
Heng Huang: "You...what do you mean? Why are you talking to me like this for this woman?"
Gu Huaijin smiled without saying anything. Suddenly, he noticed that her long hair was stained with syrup, which made her hair twisted into several strands. There were also some red marks on her clothes. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.
"Why is it dirty, Jiaojiao?"
Nan Qiong Shuang pretended to be timid, leaned a little closer to him, covered her lips with her sleeve, and shed tears:
"That candied haws... After Senior Brother Yi bought it, he was about to give it to me when Miss Heng came in and said she wanted one and asked Senior Brother Yi to give it to her. Senior Brother Yi said he would buy it for her again, but she refused, so Senior Brother Yi had no choice but to give it to her. Then he handed it to her... but she refused to take it, saying she didn't want it in the first place, but just didn't want me to have it."
Gu Huaijin slowly lowered his eyes and wiped her hair, remaining silent for a long time.
Heng Huang smiled: "That's right. Just for such a small matter, that Li Xuanbai dared to fight me with knives and guns, and used his two broken beads to dislocate my wrist, which I just reattached."
Li Xuanbai: "Just dislocated? I lost my grip today."
Heng Huang slammed the railings: "Stinky monkey! Gu Huaijin, drag him down and teach him a lesson..."
Before he could finish his words, a powerful palm wind suddenly whizzed past, shaking the seats in the martial arts viewing arena. Everyone looked up and saw Heng Huang's slender figure caught in the wind, spinning for a few weeks, and then condensed into a small dot and disappeared.
A lot of debris suddenly fell from the sky, and everyone ducked to avoid it. Gu Huaijin calmly withdrew his hand and used his sleeve to block it for her, saying, "Jiaojiao, be careful."
Nan Qiong Shuang never thought that he would really take action today. If such a domineering person were to tear his face off like this, wouldn't the situation on the mountain change drastically?
What's more, if a person is thrown so far, wouldn't he die if he fell on the rocks?
Suddenly, a small stone hit her shoulder. She couldn't help but shrink in his arms and said anxiously, "Huai Jin, there's no need..."
"No need for anything?" He was calm as usual, protecting her shoulders. "Don't be afraid. I'm just a little angry today."
He is indeed a little scary today.
Although Heng Huang is hateful, she just wants to get the Mountain Guarding Jade Plate safely. She doesn't care about anything else and doesn't want to cause trouble for her.
She pulled his sleeve and persuaded him: "Huai Jin, I'm not angry. Don't..."
Song Yaojie rushed over in two or three steps, and in an instant, drew her sword and pointed it at his neck: "Gu Huaijin, you've gone crazy today! How dare you treat the only daughter of the Hengshan Sect like this?! If anything happens to her, how will we explain it to the two of us!"
Gu Huaijin wiped the sugar off her hair and watched Song Yaojie lose her temper coldly without saying a word.
Song Yaojie was so angry that even the tip of her sword was shaking: "Now, for a woman, you have lost your soul, thrown away your reputation, and even your prestige, right?"
Gu Huaijin raised his head and smiled faintly: "Yes."
Song Yaojie's eyes were as big as copper bells, she was panting like a cow, and she sheathed her sword angrily.
"Come with me. Let's go see the Master."
"I'll go, Senior Sister." He said lazily, as if what happened just now had no impact on him. "But please wait a moment."
He lowered his head, held the hand of the person in his arms, and stroked the Nong Shan Yue in her hand, his tone still gentle:
"Jiaojiao... didn't I tell you not to talk to him, not to use his things, and not to carry his things with you, Jiaojiao?"
Holding her face, he forced her to look directly into his dark, chaotic eyes and said softly:
"You're not listening again."
She didn't know what to say. There were so many people here, but he was acting so strangely. What on earth was he trying to do?
She was afraid that things would get out of control, so she whispered, "I'll explain it to you when I get back..."
"What's there to explain? What's there to explain?" Li Xuanbai walked over. "Do I need to explain? Can't you see? My things..."
The person suddenly disappeared.
When he looked up again, he saw a shadow like raindrops in the sky. It lost its direction in the wind and could not control itself. It drew a perfect arc in the distance and fell heavily on the seats in the martial arts viewing platform.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and even Nan Qiongshuang's heart trembled a few times.
The force was so strong that it even hit the martial arts viewing platform. She could tell that Gu Huaijin had murderous intentions.
"He..." She withdrew her gaze from afar, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Gu Huaijin standing in front of her. His bottomless eyes were like a miasma-filled swamp in the dense forest in the middle of the night, reflecting her uneasy face.
This person is really not right. She hurriedly asked, "Huai Jin, do you want to kill him?"
Gu Huaijin held her waist with both hands, pressed her into his arms, looked into her pair of clear spring-like eyes, and said softly:
"I have murderous intentions, and Jiaojiao is surprised?"
"Since Jiaojiao is close to him and has a good relationship with him, shouldn't Jiaojiao have anticipated that I would have murderous intentions?"
