Chapter 26 Green Robe Tower. He told himself in his heart, "No regrets." ...
Liu Yuhen turned to the side, his gaze fixed intently on the corner of the alley.
Before he could say a word, a pale-faced scholar emerged from the dimly lit corner.
The man sighed and said, "Brother Liu..."
Liu Yuhen simply said, "This matter has nothing to do with her."
“But it’s related to you,” Xiao Qiuyu said with a wry smile.
And it was a matter of life and death.
Regardless of the depth of his relationship with Liu Yuhen, he knew that the man before him was a complete romantic.
He had only glanced at Liu Yuhen just now, but judging from his resentful expression, what else was unclear to him?
The world is nothing more than the word "love," which can make people lose their reason and willingly do foolish things.
Xiao Qiuyu certainly wouldn't ask him, "Then what about Shangguan Feiyan?"
What Liu Yuhen understood, Xiao Qiuyu naturally understood as well.
So they're actually no different; they're both complete fools when it comes to love.
He simply didn't understand why things had gotten to this point overnight.
Liu Yuhen had no intention of explaining, but calmly asked, "Did you come by yourself?"
Xiao Qiuyu smiled and said, "Now it is indeed by myself."
But that may not be the case in the future.
Neither the Great Golden Roc King nor Shangguan Feiyan would let Liu Yuhen leave without a trace.
There's no such thing as a simple good thing in the martial arts world.
Once they got involved in this mess, they were already in the game and had no choice in the matter.
Does Liu Yuhen regret it?
Of course, it's impossible for him to be completely without regrets, but no matter what he thought before, he never imagined he would have such an experience now.
He still hasn't figured out the mystery surrounding Jiaojiao.
I'm just afraid that if anything changes, I won't be able to meet that girl with the two little moles at the corners of her eyes anymore.
So he told himself, "No regrets."
He exhaled and said coldly, "What do you intend to do?"
Xiao Qiuyu said bitterly, "Brother Liu, you have indeed put me in a difficult position. There is absolutely no reason for me to let you leave. The autumn wind and rain are enough to make one feel melancholy, and now it is I who am feeling melancholy."
But Xiao Qiuyu did not draw his sword.
He wondered from the bottom of his heart what kind of magic that woman possessed. Could she be even more beautiful than Shangguan Feiyan?
The two stood side by side, and after a moment, Xiao Qiuyu finally said, "Next time, I might not make things difficult for you."
Liu Yuhen agreed without revealing his expression.
Xiao Qiuyu suddenly sighed, wanting to say something, but unexpectedly Liu Yuhen spoke first: "Did you bring any money?"
Xiao Qiuyu's words of melancholy stuck in her throat, and she said, without understanding, "I brought it."
Liu Yuhen nodded and said naturally, "Buy me a serving of sugar snowballs."
?
His smile cracked slightly. "What?"
Seeing his expression, a faint smile appeared in Liu Yuhen's cold, single eye.
Upon seeing this relaxed smile, Xiao Qiuyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "That's good."
The man selling candied hawthorns was just a small vendor with a bamboo stall, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
These two men, one with a ferocious face covered in scars from sword cuts and slashes, and with iron hooks and balls embedded in his hands, were more terrifying than a vengeful ghost.
The other one was a handsome scholar, but he carried a sword at his waist, so he looked like a formidable figure from the martial arts world.
The two men stood like guardian deities in front of his stall, completely obscuring his small body.
He trembled, on the verge of tears, as he filled a bag with candy balls, so full that the paper bag could hardly be closed, for fear that if these two gentlemen were displeased, they might just chop him up and be done with it.
The kid was secretly wondering which of the two really liked the sugar snowballs, and whether he could still sell them here in the future.
While he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a series of light and agile footsteps sounded outside the alley.
Upon hearing this sound, you can guess that its owner must be extremely happy and delighted.
Jiaojiao burst in from the alley entrance, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and jumped onto Liu Yuhen's back, muttering, "Brother Yuhen, why did you make me wait so long?"
Upon seeing this, the vendor loosened his grip on the paper bag, and several snowballs tumbled to the ground.
Before he could recover from the shock, he looked down at the few hawthorn balls that had fallen to the ground and began to break out in a cold sweat.
This day was undoubtedly the most thrilling day of my career.
From the moment she entered, Xiao Qiuyu's eyes were glued to her. How could there be such a clever girl in the world!
He suddenly understood why Liu Yuhen would do such a perplexing thing.
More importantly, while beautiful women are hard to find, true friendship is even more precious.
This exceptionally beautiful girl not only has clear and innocent eyes and a pure heart, but also shares an intimate bond with Brother Liu.
That sweet, trusting, and lively feeling emanated from her eyes like a butterfly about to take flight, making it clear to anyone with discerning eyes that the two must have a very sweet and affectionate relationship when they spend time together in private.
Unfortunately, there are many discerning people in the world, but one like Liu Yuhen is missing.
This is a classic case of those involved being confused while bystanders see clearly.
Xiao Qiuyu naturally had some indescribable feelings in his heart. He restrained himself and looked away, placing the money on the bamboo board.
The moment Liu Yuhen saw her, his eyes filled with tenderness. He said softly, "I was buying sugar-coated hawthorn balls, so I waited a little longer. Would Jiaojiao like some?"
Jiaojiao naturally wanted to try it. Just as she reached past Liu Yuhen to grab the bag of sugar balls on the bamboo board, the vendor cleverly handed it to her with both hands.
He kept his head down, not daring to look around, because he was someone who valued his life very much.
However, he waited with his head down for a long time, but no one came to collect it.
The vendor finally couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, only to see that the angelic-looking girl had already hidden behind the ferocious-looking man with a delicate yet timid expression, staring at the pale-faced scholar with a look of fear.
He stared dazedly at the half of her face that was exposed, and vaguely thought, "This girl really didn't run into the wrong person."
Xiao Qiuyu thought so too.
He touched his face awkwardly, suddenly doubting his own appearance.
Is he that scary-looking?
That shouldn't be the case.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?" Liu Yuhen turned around and comforted her by pulling her into his arms, his arms unconsciously tightening around her.
As soon as Jiaojiao saw Xiao Qiuyu, she imagined him trying to capture her and kill her.
But obviously, the circumstances surrounding these butterfly-making events cannot be explained.
So she could only whisper slander in Liu Yuhen's ear: "He's definitely not a good person."
After saying that, he tried to tiptoe over from the side away from Xiao Qiuyu to reach Tang Xueqiu.
A tingling, warm breath, carrying a jolt of electricity, blew into Liu Yuhen's ears. He lowered his head uncomfortably, and his neck blushed slightly.
Xiao Qiuyu naturally heard and saw it as well.
His feelings were complicated at that moment, but he suddenly smiled and said, "I bought this sugar snowball."
Jiaojiao was stunned, clutching the paper bag, unsure of what to do, and could only stare blankly at Liu Yuhen.
Liu Yuhen's lips unconsciously curled up, and he said, "Eat it. He's not a good person; he's lying to you."
Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, then picked one up and held it to Liu Yuhen's lips, saying a string of innocent and sticky words.
Xiao Qiuyu laughed in anger. He shouldn't have made this trip in the first place.
He finally understood how to write the two extra characters.
Before long, the three of them walked out of the city gate one after the other. The sunlight shone on them, giving them a normal warmth.
Xiao Qiuyu didn't ask Liu Yuhen what his plans were, or rather, he already knew the answer in his heart.
He asked himself honestly, and he probably would have done the same thing.
Once Liu Yuhen, who was not afraid of death, had something to worry about, he became the most afraid of death in the world.
He shook his head inwardly, feeling that life is unpredictable.
Xiao Qiuyu was naturally happy for him. He was only now realizing that happiness was something tangible and visible, and that it could suddenly arrive.
This made him feel bitter, not only bitter, but also filled with a thousand sorrows.
Before he could even question or hesitate in his mind, the sound of horses neighing came from the end of the road.
The horses' hooves pounded, and the carriage seemed poised to crash into them, driven by two men in blue robes.
Upon seeing this blue cloth robe, Liu Yuhen and Xiao Qiuyu's expressions suddenly changed drastically. It was the Green Robe Pavilion!
The Green Robe Pavilion couldn't possibly have appeared here without a reason; there could only be one.
Upon seeing the two people, several more people burst out of the carriage windows as it rushed over.
Clearly, this wasn't just about killing one person, but about capturing both of them!
The people in the Green Robe 108th Floor acted strangely. Not only were there many of them, but each of them also possessed an unfathomable martial art.
But what they knew even more was that the connection between Qingyi Tower and the Great Golden Roc King, and Shangguan Feiyan, was far more complex than it seemed.
They've already decided to get rid of them so quickly!
They were certainly not fools; this was no longer simply because of Liu Yuhen's matter, but because someone had already planned to discard him after he had served his purpose.
Xiao Qiuyu and Liu Yuhen's eyes were instantly filled with anger, hatred, and fear.
The fear lay in the fact that no one could escape the relentless pursuit of the Green Robe Tower, especially since they were now surrounded by six or seven men in green robes.
Liu Yuhen's lips were already pale and bloodless. He shielded Jiaojiao behind him, fearing he couldn't protect her.
This thought, this fear, almost caused him to surrender without a fight.
He was afraid, so afraid that he even began to feel fortunate.
Fortunately, he had lost his hands, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to hold the sword tightly at this moment.
The assassins from the Green Robe Pavilion gave them no time to react; with a flash of cold light, knives, swords, and spears were already closing in simultaneously.
Liu Yuhen shoved Jiaojiao away forcefully and shouted, "Run!"
He had never spoken to her in such a cold tone before, not even when they first met.
Jiaojiao was startled by the scene and her heart trembled. Realizing what these men in blue were planning to do, she turned pale with panic.
Swords clashed and struck, producing a chilling, piercing sound.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of swords and knives had been thrust out, slicing through flesh and causing blood to bloom, the smell of blood dissipating in an instant.
Jiaojiao's eyes instantly turned red, and she gripped the spirit stone on her wrist as if she had been startled awake, so tightly that it seemed to be engraved into her palm.
In an instant, a thick fog rose up like a sudden downpour. The fog was so dense that it felt as if one's whole body was enveloped in mystery, and no matter which direction one went, one could never escape that small area.
A martial artist's hearing is usually quite good, but when the fog rolled in, Liu Yuhen couldn't hear anything, as if someone had locked him in an airtight jar.
Liu Yuhen was trembling all over and cried out in a broken voice, "Jiaojiao!"
