The sound of fighting lasted for less than an hour. The swordsman fought and retreated at the same time. The battle line stretched for several miles, and no less than a hundred warriors and cultivators were knocked down along the way.

After watching for a long time, Xie Heng found that the swordsman mostly attacked the enemy's lower body. The Sword Qi blocked the enemy's way and stopped them, but did not kill them.

What was more strange was that the pursuers shouted and forced the swordsman to tell them his name, but the swordsman kept silent all the way.

Xie Heng thought that the swordsman must have a good relationship with the pursuers if he was not pure and kind.

After a few miles, they entered a verdant mountain forest. Along the way, ancient trees towered into the sky and the pine trees rustled in the wind. The swordsman increased his speed and left behind a series of afterimages. The cultivation of the pursuers was too low and they could only curse at him from behind. However, the swordsman gradually left them behind.

After shuttling through the lush forest for about half an hour, the swaying scene in front of Xie Heng finally stopped abruptly. He desperately waved his hand in the darkness, wanting to ask who the swordsman was, but his lips seemed to be tightly glued, and he couldn't make a sound.

The swordsman's thin left arm shook and a girl was put down from his shoulder.

Xie Heng, "!!!"

He called the girl's name silently, "Minor Ring!"

The girl named Minor Ring naturally could not see him.

The girl's forehead hair was messy, and her sleeves were torn by the Xuan Current during the fight, revealing half of her white forearm. Her eyes were watery and Ying Ying, and she bowed her head.

"Thank you for saving my life, but … Minor Ring has something important to do and needs to find my young master. I really can't repay you …"

This fool!

Xie Heng clenched his fists quietly.

A warm current surged in his heart. Looking at the maid who was close but untouchable, he said silently, "I've broken with Xie family. I'm no longer your young master. You're so smart. Why did you do such a stupid thing?"

The swordsman was still silent and only shook his head slightly.

In the girl's repeated calls, "May I know your name, sir?", he turned around, tiptoed, and jumped into the air.

The wind blew through the forest. The swordsman was surrounded by light Xuan Qi. He swept through the strong branches, and wherever he passed, the leaves fell, startling a flock of birds.

"… Thank you."

Separated by an invisible barrier, Xie Heng, who was forced to watch from the sidelines, raised his head slightly and thanked him softly.

I owe you one.

He knew that the swordsman couldn't hear his voice, but his heart was surging with emotion. The joy of knowing that his old friend was safe made him ecstatic. It wasn't until Xiao Huan appeared that Xie Heng realized in hindsight that his maid had been carried on the swordsman's back during the fierce battle.

Those servants who surrounded him looked very familiar. Now that he thought about it, they were all from Xie family.

Damn it!

It was one thing to persecute her, but they didn't even let go of a maidservant who had nothing to do with them?

Xie Ziyou, who was standing on top of Lin Tao, suddenly received a prompt of "Hatred Points: 20": "???"

Wow, that's great. What did the main character suffer this time?

A strong wind blew through his hair. Seeing that there was no one around, the young man took off his mask with satisfaction. He raised his head to enjoy the fresh wind in the forest. He looked up at the boundless blue sky and white clouds.

Xie Ziyou could not help but open his arms and hug the air in front of him. He smiled and said, "System, it feels good to save people. When can you jump ship and let's do the Goldfinger mission?"

The System's little bee landed on his shoulder and looked down at the lush forest and undulating mountains.

It did not want to disturb Xie Ziyou's good mood, so it just smiled and did not say anything.

They were the System and only cared about obeying orders. It was not that easy to change missions.

The System did not say anything, but it shocked Xie Hengyi.

He did not understand what "System" or "Goldfinger" meant, but he could tell that this was the younger brother of his enemy, the bastard who stole his Glazed Sword Bone!

In an instant, all the feelings of being touched and happy disappeared. Xie Heng's mind was in a mess. He was so angry that he wanted to flip the table. His maidservant's savior was Xie Ziyou?

The swordsman with superb swordsmanship was Xie Ziyou?

No, he did not believe it!

It must be someone with a similar voice. The world was full of strange things. It was normal for two people to have similar voices …

Xie Heng's emotions were shaken. He was so flustered that he almost turned around and ran away. The entire invisible space was affected. The Glazed Sword Bone in Xie Ziyou's arms had a small tip because of the continuous battles. At this moment, it trembled slightly and shook out of his clothes, falling straight down the tree!

"F * ck!" Xie Ziyou hurriedly bent down and rushed forward to catch it.

In his panic, the mask on his face was blown off by his waving hands, revealing half of his delicate and handsome face. His Fair Complexion was stained with crimson, and his eyes were clear with peach blossoms.

Xie Heng, who had a panoramic view of everything, "… F * ck."

His vision turned black. Even when the pain of falling from the sky and being hit by a heavy object hit him, he was still in a daze and sorrowful mood.

After an unknown period of time, the youth opened his eyes in a daze and saw the familiar stone house.

Xu Waner anxiously squatted beside him and tried to pull him up from the ground. Seeing that he was awake, he hurriedly said, "Big Brother Xie, are you feeling better?

You should go back to the house and rest. Leave this to me. Hey, Big Brother Xie, what are you doing! "

"Bang!"

The handsome youth raised his head in despair and picked up the scattered pieces of wood on the ground. He raised his hand and smashed it on his forehead.

An obvious red mark appeared on his forehead.

Xu Waner was anxious and angry. He snatched the piece of wood and shouted, "Big Brother Xie!"

"Wan'er …" Xie Heng lay on the ground. His eyes were lifeless. He looked at the blue sky and whispered, "I'm probably crazy …"

If he wasn't crazy, how could he dream that his enemy had changed and become his benefactor?

…

Xie Ziyou picked up the spiritual bone from the dead leaves on the ground. He wiped the soil and carefully put it back in his pocket. He was worried that it would fall out again, so he deliberately poked it deeper into the ground.

The spiritual bone still looked like a Yingbai, but when Fang Cai fell, the wind swept up the green leaves. Xie Ziyou vaguely saw a fluorescent light flash on the spiritual bone, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

It was most likely an illusion.

Xie Ziyou thought, "Can a dead bone still think?"

Amused by his own sudden idea, the youth chuckled a few times. He put on his mask, turned around, and ran back to the Xie residence.

The System helped them from behind. They cleaned up all the traces and confirmed that there were no loopholes in this operation.

Xie Ziyou wanted to burn the clothes as well, but he gave up after thinking about it.

This set of clothes had some commemorative value.

They didn't need to be overly cautious. After all, Xie Ziyou took Xie Heng's spiritual bone. The two of them had a deadly feud. And Xie Heng, who was dug out and thrown down the cliff, was already dead in the eyes of Hsieh and the others. It was fine if Xie Ziyou didn't add insult to injury, but saving Xie Heng's maid?

How was that possible?

Xie Ziyou hurried back to his room. Not long after he entered the room, Wang Yun pushed the door open and called out in a sweet voice, "Youer?"

For some reason, when Xie Ziyou saw his mother and her bright eyes, he felt a burst of fear in his heart. But for the sake of his image, he reluctantly responded.

Wang Yun brushed her light pink sleeves and said softly, "Youer, I found a prescription for a medicinal bath for you."

Xie Ziyou was stunned.

Forget about the bitter black medicine, he wanted to soak in a medicinal bath?

Seeing the conflict in Xie Ziyou's expression, the woman took a few steps forward and pulled the youth's hand. Her dark red fingertips brushed across Xie Ziyou's delicate Yingbai skin. It was as if the tip of a knife had scraped the tender part of his wrist. Immediately, Xie Ziyou had goosebumps all over his body.

Wang Yun had a sincere expression and said softly, "Youer, now that you have a sword bone, you are the most promising junior in our family to master the 《Eight Moon Divine Slash》. Any resources should be given to you."

"It's just a medicinal bath. Not only do we have to soak in it, we have to soak in it every day in the future."

Xie Ziyou: "… Okay."

Wasn't it just a medicinal bath? He would soak in it!

Could he trouble this old witch to quickly sneak away?!

The servants of Chea Prefecture were extremely efficient.

Before night fell, the clouds filled the sky. When the sky was slightly dark, the medicinal bath had already been prepared.

Wang Yun was afraid that Xie Ziyou would refuse, so she specially sent The Little Servant to rush him. She said that she had added dozens of precious spiritual plants, melted the ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and heated it with fire crystals … In short, a basin of water was worth ten thousand gold. She told Xie Ziyou not to waste it no matter what. Otherwise, she would kill the servant who came to rush him.

Xie Ziyou: "…"

Why did it sound like a hotpot? The soup was fresh and fragrant, and there was a pile of beef rolls, baby cabbage, pig blood, duck intestines?

The bathtub was placed in the middle of the room. Ripples appeared in the wooden tub, and the clear water rippled, revealing a fresh light blue color.

Palm-sized spiritual leaves floated on the surface of the water. They were shaped like shuttles, and the texture was exquisite. The veins of the leaves seemed to be random, but they contained the way of nature. With just a glance, Xie Ziyou knew that this bath water was extraordinary.

He paid some points and asked the system to take a drop of water for testing. Xie Ziyou couldn't bear the servant's fearful and pleading eyes. He had no choice but to take off his brocade clothes one by one and hang them on the exquisitely carved screen at the side.

But when he took off his inner clothes, Xie Ziyou's hands paused slightly, and his face showed hesitation.

He touched the glazed sword bone in his arms.

The sword bone was warm to the touch. It was slightly cooler than the skin, but it was tainted with the body's temperature. It was like a piece of Warm Jade.

Xie Ziyou suddenly realized that it was troublesome to carry it around with him. At this moment, the servant sent by Wang Yun was eyeing him covetously. He couldn't take out the sword bone naturally — he couldn't say that it was a drumstick bone that he didn't finish at noon, so he kept it in his arms, right?

Glancing around the room, Xie Ziyou was about to put the sword bone into the brocade clothes he had changed out of, but just as he took half a step, he saw the servant quickly tidying up behind the screen and taking away all the clothes he had changed out of.

Xie Ziyou: "…"

The young man pinched the bone and spun it in his palm. He looked down in disgust and threw it casually —

"Plop."

The bone fell into the wooden tub and submerged in the water.

In the Xu family's small courtyard, Xie Heng and Hsu Hsiao-wan were discussing matters related to the examination of the saber field.

The next examination was only a week later, and Hsu Hsiao-wan didn't have any saber techniques that could be used — her father had done his best to prevent his daughter from practicing martial arts. Hsu Hsiao-wan didn't know anything about the so-called sixth-level saber techniques.

"It's okay," Xie Heng said, "I can change the swordsmanship I know into saber techniques. Although it's not as powerful as before, it should be enough to deal with the examination."

It was just an examination of an unknown small sect. Xie family's former "future star" was full of confidence. Even if his cultivation was completely destroyed and he had to start from scratch, his previous knowledge and understanding were all there. It was more than enough to be a guest instructor.

Hsu Hsiao-wan still looked worried. He hesitated and said, "Is this okay?

If someone sees through it … "

"What's the big deal?"

Xie Heng said casually, "Who cares about swordsmanship and saber techniques? Those who can win are the strong ones. At worst, I'll challenge the examiner to a humanistic battle and have a few real moves … Oh!"

The young man suddenly clutched his chest and frowned. His tall body swayed slightly and he staggered.

Xie Heng supported himself with his right hand on the wooden table to prevent himself from falling to the ground.

Xu Waner was shocked and hurried forward to help him. He asked with concern, "Big Brother Xie, what's wrong?"

"I'm a little … hot …" Xie Heng murmured.

It wasn't just hot. His head was spinning and there were overlapping images in his eyes. The blood in his body felt like it was being poured with boiling water. It was bubbling and rushing rapidly in his body. His ears were buzzing and he could almost hear his clear and powerful heartbeat.

There were layers of Phantasm in front of him. Xie Heng tried his best to blink, but it didn't get better.

It was as if he had sunk into a bottomless lake. The water was dark and mottled light sprinkled from above. The ripples circled around the light and the slightly hot water washed every inch of his skin …

In the next second, the water in front of Xie Heng suddenly exploded.

Something suddenly broke into the water and lifted the rapids. Yingbai dazzled everyone's eyes. Xie Hengyi choked on his saliva and widened his eyes in surprise.

It was an ankle. It was delicate and delicate like white porcelain.
