Chapter 97: A Gentleman's Revenge
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the calm water surface.
A fish has taken the bait.
He leaned over to take a look and put the fish back into the water.
The shadow of the sky was reflected on the water surface, with dark clouds gathering and a north wind blowing suddenly, but the shadow on the water surface was not the sky in the wonderland of fish and dragons.
After counting on my fingers, I realized that she had used it that time.
Before leaving the wonderland, he gave her a chance to be protected by God, anticipating that she might lose her life due to impulsive behavior.
Kuang Heng has lived for a thousand years. It is extremely difficult for her to take his life. She can still climb to a few levels of the thirty-three heavens, but killing Kuang Heng is definitely not an easy task.
If she hadn't died once and suffered a great loss at his hands, she wouldn't have known how powerful Kuang Heng was.
He taught her countless times with words, but it was still not as good as her falling down.
Now that she has used up her divine protection, although it can save her life, it also means that she has been seriously injured and cannot use her full power in the short term. The road ahead will only be more difficult.
He shook his head and sat back down, no longer distracted.
Her words sank into his mind.
Is no one happy when you laugh? Or sad when you are sad? Are you worried about other people's happiness and anger?
When the governor saw that both of them stopped at the same time, his expression changed drastically and his heart began to beat fast.
Is Fenghuang Chu going to make peace with Jiaoran? This is definitely not the result he wants to see.
Phoenix Cub put away his sword and said calmly, "What a pity! This weapon cut off your mother's head and drank her blood. You won't have the same blessing. Today I will let you go and make way for you."
Jiaoran stared at the sword in Fenghuangchu's hand without blinking, and the suppressed anger in his chest almost burst out.
But she couldn't be impulsive at this moment.
She had been seriously injured, her heart damaged, so it was best to negotiate peace with him now. A gentleman's revenge is never too late.
Chai Yu always felt that the Phoenix Young was unfathomable and profound, and was always a little afraid of this young man. Although he was only about the same age as his eldest son, he was truly a great man. But now that he wanted to negotiate peace with Jiaoran, he was already a little angry.
Jiaoran laughed for a while, then said, "Are you going to let me go, or am I going to let you go?"
When he spoke, his expression was full of provocation.
"Don't worry about who lets whom go. What's the point of fighting to the death today? I haven't got what I want, and you haven't found what you want. If one of us gets hurt or dies, it won't be worth it." The Phoenix Chick took a step back.
When Chai Yu heard Fenghuang Chu say this, a chilling look appeared on his face. It seemed that he meant to let Jiaoran and the others go today.
Jiao Ran said, "Let's be frank. I don't care about Gao Shan Shou at all, but I know you want it, you dream of it, so I'm dead today. If you have the guts to kill me again, you can try. But before I die, I will definitely drag you down with me to hell. If you die, you'll never get Gao Shan Shou."
Her impolite words did not make the Phoenix Chick furious, but Chai Yu was already ready to take action.
"Okay, why don't I help you today?" His eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and he attacked Jiaoran without saying a word.
Chai Che wanted to stop her, but she was too agile and nimble to stop him.
Everyone couldn't even see her movements clearly. In the blink of an eye, her sword collided with Chai Yu several times.
Chai Yu learned the "Gao Shan Shou" mental method, but his martial arts were still the moves of a mortal. Although Jiao Ran had no secret mental method, her moves were definitely not comparable to those of an ordinary person.
Chai Yu didn't seem to understand this, and thought that he could kill Jiaoran in one fell swoop with his profound internal strength.
He had a rather volatile temperament, and Jiaoran didn't dare to be careless. It was freezing cold, and Mu Jin's clothes were still soaked with sweat. Jiaoran spun around, misstepped, and with a single turn, he changed direction, moving as fast as lightning.
Chai Yu's internal energy was like a whirlpool, or a gust of wind, but Jiaoran's body movements and speed were so astonishing that he managed not to be sucked into the whirlpool.
The depth of her kung fu skills can be seen from this.
After three or four rounds of fighting, Chai Yu did not gain any advantage at all.
Jiaoran saw the opportunity and reacted very quickly. Chai Yu failed to succeed, but Jiaoran was also unable to touch him.
Just as he was thinking this, a sneer came from behind him. Startled, Chai Yu turned around and saw a shadow floating past.
He tapped his toes hard and chopped down with the weapon in his hand.
Of course it failed.
A sneer—always lingered beside him. Even after he had exhausted all his moves, the bright laughter still followed him.
Only then did he realize how advanced Jiaoran's Qinggong was. He suddenly remembered what the Saint Witch had said, that he might die at the hands of Chai Ying's flesh and blood. Would he die here today?
He gritted his teeth and turned quickly, but when he turned around, there was nothing behind him, not even Jiaoran's figure could be seen.
In a panic, his moves were all messed up, but Jiaoran was like a leech attached to his bones, and laughed behind him again.
At this moment, Jiaoran held the thin dragon in his hand horizontally, and with a cold light, it slashed towards Chai Yu's throat.
Chai Che hurriedly shouted, "No, Jiaoran, please don't kill him."
Jiaoran twitched her wrist, pretending to nearly cut his neck. She whispered in his ear, "Useless, incompetent, you've always been like this. Even the best internal energy techniques are wasted. Didn't you let Chai Rou practice first so you could gain experience and avoid backlash? But all your efforts are in vain."
Chai Yu's face darkened. "I should have killed you long ago. I shouldn't have shown you mercy."
Jiao Ran didn't listen to his inhuman words and shouted to Fenghuang Chu, "If I want to, I can kill him right now."
"What do you want?" Phoenix Chick asked her.
Jiao Ran said, "I didn't want what you asked for, but now that I've released him, I ask him not to attack us. We will still live here until you get the Gao Shan Shou and share it with me."
"Okay, I promise you." Phoenix Chick said without thinking.
Jiaoran moved her palm as fast as the wind, and after releasing her hand, she slapped Chai Yu hard. However, she did not expect that the "Gao Shan Shou" mental method was so domineering. The internal force of the palm she struck out was counterattacked, and it went along her palm and made her heart ache.
There was still no reaction on his face.
After being released, Chai Yu shouted that he would kill her.
Jiao Ran put away his sword without even looking at him, "Feng Huang, are you serious about what you said?"
"nature."
"Then how do I know, if you agree, will the noble governor agree or not? Who gives you the right to be his master?"
Chai Yu was furious at Fenghuang Chick, "I want you to kill them now, or I will kill you as soon as I leave here."
The wind and snow started to blow, and snowflakes began to fall again, with white snow flying all over the secret passage.
A burst of true energy suddenly emanated from the Phoenix chick's body, and with that force, the snowflakes around it flew away.
He suddenly let out a long roar and floated up.
In the air, the young phoenix chick turned into a centenarian with white hair and beard.
Everyone was shocked to see him suddenly become older. Even Jiaoran and Mu Jin, who had seen him like this before at Huiying Inn, were surprised and didn't know what he was going to do.
Seeing his old appearance, Chai Yu was shocked and blurted out, "Grandfather..."
Phoenix Cub suddenly swept out with his left leg and kicked Chai Yu on the knee. Chai Yu immediately knelt in front of him.
He had recognized him. When Chai Ying was still alive, she once told him that she had found her biological grandfather, a lonely and helpless old man. She then secretly took him to see the old man without telling the Chai family, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a phoenix chick.
Phoenix Chick sneered slightly, "Do you really think I'm Ying's grandfather?"
Chai Yu was stunned for a moment, "Could it be... not?"
He said, "I am her ancestor, but she doesn't even know it."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and asked Jiaoran to come and pay his respects to him.
Jiaoran rolled his eyes, not surprised.
Mu Jin asked, "Is he really your ancestor?"
Jiao Ran said, "It should be... correct."
"Why aren't you surprised at all?"
How could Jiaoran explain to him what she had learned in the Wonderland of Fish and Dragons, that this person was not a mortal, but was actually a servant of the gods, and had a divine body, but had escaped to the human world later?
Jiaoran said to Fenghuangchu, "I don't care whose ancestor you are, but remember that I have a copy of Gao Shan Shou."
The Phoenix Chick, who had regained his youthful appearance, grabbed Chai Yu's collar. Originally, he didn't have the "Gao Shan Shou" internal energy method and didn't dare to test Chai Yu easily. He also failed to win in the previous fights. Now Jiaoran had paved the way for him, and he knew that even if he had the method, this idiot was still a fool. It was hard to believe that Chai Yu was prepared to kill Jiaoran and others for him, win his favor, and then let him hand over "Gao Shan Shou". It turned out that the simplest way was already in front of him.
The person in charge was confused. He planned for many years before he finally understood. He rushed forward and grabbed Chai Yu's neck while laughing. "Where is Gao Shan Shou? Tell me!"
He swung out with both palms, aiming for Chai Yu's shoulders, but just as they landed, they were swept away by Chai Yu's internal force.
Chai Yu thought he was going to die this time. He opened his eyes and saw that he was still alive. Joy flashed in his eyes and he said hurriedly, "I'll tell you everything. You just want the secret manual, don't you?"
Everyone was extremely uneasy because the place he was pointing to was at the bottom of the Cajun Pond.
"It was that divine dragon that guarded the Takayama Shou. The fact that I was able to glimpse it was also an opportunity he granted me."
Seeing his father begging for mercy in such a humble manner, Chai Che no longer had any respect for him.
He is nothing but a paper tiger.
Phoenix Chick was a little embarrassed. "Although I have thought about this possibility, but..."
He then sighed and looked at Jiaoran.
Jiao Ran spread his hands and said, "I have no choice. I fought against the dragon once before, but I didn't win."
"How about you and I join forces?" asked the Phoenix Cub.
Jiao Ran nodded. "Okay, let's make an appointment, but not right now. I just used up too much energy. I need to go back and recuperate for a few days."
"you--"
Jiao Ran smiled at him. "Either, you can ask the governor to call out the dragon for you, and then make it hand over the Gaoshan Shou. Or, you can wait for me to rest. When I feel better and feel well, I can fight the dragon with you and take back the secret book. It's up to you which one you choose. Of course, if the governor can't make the dragon obey, you can also find a way to slay the dragon and take back the Gaoshan Shou yourself. There are many ways, it's just up to you to choose."
The young phoenix was frustrated and could only watch the three young men leave.
"Does the ancestor really want to join forces with Jiaoran to take back the inner skills?"
He said, "Are you afraid that little girl will really kill you?"
Chai Yu was speechless.
He patted Chai Yu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, kid. She will die sooner than you."
"Please enlighten me."
"Isn't she crazy? There are plenty of people who can teach her a lesson and make her submit."
"who?!"
"Zhou Zhi. But the time is not right yet. I still need her to help me with something, so please don't touch her."
After leaving the secret room, the three people who survived the disaster fell into silence.
Chai Che walked in another direction without saying a word, which was the direction of Qianlin Garden.
It was already dark outside. They fought for a whole day and night.
Mu Jin whispered, "Is Gao Shan Shou really under the Caesar Lake?"
Jiao Ran asked, "Why do you think I know?"
"I just think Chai Yu is lying to you."
She smiled and said, "The only thing Chai Yu could deceive was a Phoenix chick eager to learn the secret manual."
"Do you really know where the secret book is?"
Jiao Ran leaned in closer and whispered, "Why? Now that you know about it, you want to steal it?"
"Yes, I want to steal it for you. Your martial arts skills are already beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you add your mental skills, I think you will be the best in the world."
The best in the world?
Jiaoran vaguely recalled that when she was little, she practiced sword with her senior brothers and sisters. She was too stupid and learned slowly. At that time, she was still tough and said that she would become the best in the world in the future to open their eyes.
"There's nothing good about being number one in the world, so I'll just be number two."
Mu Jin smiled, "Even no one would dare to claim to be the best in the world in front of you."
Seeing the tears still lingering in his eyes, Jiaoran reached out and wiped them, her heart aching. He had always been incredibly strong-willed, and he'd barely shed a tear in the entire time she'd known him. The only times she remembered him were when she'd stabbed him at the Huiying Inn and when she'd set fire to the library and then come looking for him. He didn't cry easily, but hearing his helpless, desperate cries as she hovered between life and death was a heartbreaking experience.
At that moment, he probably thought she was really dead.
"Don't you want to know where the secret book is?"
"Where?"
Jiaoran pinched his earlobe and said, "You look so ugly when you cry. Smile, and I'll tell you."
Mu Jin sulked and walked away on her own, "Whatever you say, I don't really want to know."
She chased after him and held his hand, "Don't be angry, why are you angry again?"
"You made me angry first."
"Okay, I'll tell you." She leaned close to his ear, "It's on Chai Yu."
"Then you just—"
She quickly covered his mouth, "Shh."
After releasing him, Mu Jin asked, "But how did you know?"
Jiaoran kicked the snow on the ground and said, "I just know it."
In fact, it was the breath that Ji Feng sensed when he approached him.
Suddenly, she stopped and watched him go.
"Come on, why don't you leave?" Mu Jin opened her arms and called her.
She shook her head and turned around for him to see. "Look, I'm covered in blood. I need to go back and change my clothes."
"Let's go to Siyu Garden."
She sighed, "Oh, have you forgotten? You asked someone to move all my things back to Qianlin Garden."
Only then did he remember and felt extremely upset. If he had known, he would have kept some and not been so ruthless.
"That--"
"You should go back to Siyu Garden first. I'm so hungry. I'll go back for some midnight snack and take a shower and change clothes."
Mu Jin wanted to go with her, but she pushed him back. "Hey, you should go back and take a shower and change clothes before coming back. Otherwise, when Senior Sister sees you looking so haggard, she'll blame me and say it's all my fault that you look so haggard."
She watched Mu Jin go back. As long as Mu Jin turned around, she would look at her. He turned back every three steps. Every time he turned back, Jiaoran looked at him with a smile.
"Tomorrow morning, remember to come to Qianlin Garden for dinner together."
Mu Jin replied loudly, "Okay, I know."
Jiaoran watched him walk away slowly, taking one step forward and one step back.
Then she turned around and slowly walked towards Qianlin Garden.
The severe pain made her unable to stand. She held on to a tree that had lost all its leaves and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Whenever she breathed, the pain coursed through her veins.
Zhu Su's divine protection can only protect her life, and now it seems that she will not recover so quickly this time.
She squatted down, extremely calm, wiped her face with the cold white snow, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then buried her blood with snow and mud.
Late at night, after doing all this, I walked back to Qianlin Garden alone.
