PaiPai-Romane - Kapitel 94
These past two days, however, have left him feeling somewhat uneasy.
That's really strange.
The scene was familiar.
When Le Yan dismounted and looked up, she already had a general idea in her mind.
The scene here is almost exactly the same as when I last met Beitang, the young master of Jian Ge.
The ground was cold and hard in winter, covered in blood and gore, with bits of torn clothing scattered around.
It was like a slaughterhouse that hadn't been cleaned properly.
But actually, the cleaning hasn't even started yet.
"There were five people in total, yet not a single one survived, while we lost dozens of our men," Chu Gexing said as he approached from behind.
"Haha, don't tell me about such embarrassing things." She waved her hand.
Chu Gexing smiled and said, "Honesty has always been one of my virtues."
She glanced at him and said, "It's rare. I really didn't know that if you hadn't told me."
"Who do you think this person is from?" Chu Gexing asked.
"You're so smart, you go first."
"I have no clue."
"Oh my!" Le Yan exclaimed in shock, "...You, you really have become more honest...What happened? Did the sun rise in the west?"
"Ahem, I never lie."
"Then what is this sentence?" Le Yan smiled, took a step forward, and looked around. She frowned and said, "This place is basically the same as last time, and I can imagine the specific battle situation."
Chu Gexing nodded: "It is said that if these people are injured, they will explode and die on their own. It is really interesting to know what kind of power is behind the ability to train such a large number of suicide soldiers."
"Even the all-powerful Nine Gates Admiral couldn't find out?" Le Yan turned to look at him teasingly.
"That's why I asked you to come and help me," he said, seizing the opportunity.
“You…” she stopped.
Just then, a voice rang out from the side: "Why don't you let me help? I have plenty of free time."
Such nimble movements! They came without a sound.
Le Yan turned her head, but Chu Gexing frowned: "He's really a persistent ghost."
Right next to Le Yan, a young man in flowing yellow robes appeared.
She tilted her head slightly, one hand still casually brushing the loose hair from her forehead, her dark eyes looking over.
It was none other than Beitang Yujian, the young master of the Sword Pavilion.
“Hey, young master of the Beitang family,” Le Yan looked at him, “could you please make some noise when you walk?”
"I did greet you, but you two were so engrossed in your conversation that you didn't notice." Beitang Yujian stopped and looked over with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's just something he's thinking in his mind, isn't it?" Chu Gexing glanced away.
"His attitude is really cold. All my enthusiasm wasted." Beitang Yujian sniffed and made a wronged expression.
Le Yan chuckled: "What, do you want Lord Chu to pounce on you and give you a passionate kiss?"
"If the other person is that beautiful, then this young master would reluctantly accept it," Beitang Yujian said shamelessly.
Chu Gexing frowned beside him.
Le Yan looked around, finding it amusing, and said, "Brother Beitang, I've noticed that your name isn't very good."
"Oh? May I ask your guidance?"
“Flying on a sword, encountering... encountering a sword…” Le Yan shook her head, “I’m afraid that even if you, Brother Beitang, stick your neck out or hide, you won’t be able to dodge this sword…”
While speaking, he stole glances to see Chu Gexing's reaction.
But the other party just snorted coldly and didn't even look in their direction.
Beitang Yujian took a step back: "Oh dear, to die beneath a beautiful woman is to die romantically, even as a ghost, I am still dashing. It is truly auspicious thanks to Brother Le."
Le Yan couldn't help but chuckle again, her mood instantly brightening.
But then Chu Gexing finally spoke, saying unhappily, "This is the site of the murder. All irrelevant people can leave."
"That's right, all irrelevant people must stay back!" Beitang Yujian added.
"Hmm?" Le Yan turned to look at him, "Brother Bei..."
Beitang Yujian patted his chest: "However, I was once an eyewitness and a party involved in this murder, so I am naturally not considered an outsider."
"Oh...that doesn't sound wrong." Le Yan covered her mouth and laughed.
It seems that Beitang Yujian is coming for Chu Gexing.
She thought.
That sounds good. She's very interested to see if any strange sparks will fly between these two.
It seemed like there was going to be a good show, especially one about Chu Gexing. She decided not to miss it.
"The person involved, please tell me, who are these people?" Chu Gexing turned around and looked at Beitang Yujian.
"Well... based on my meticulous and careful observation..." Beitang Yujian drawled out, then began to fiddle with his hair again.
Le Yan and Chu Gexing listened attentively.
The man turned to look at the scene, then back at the two men, before smiling and saying, "No clues."
Le Yan frowned: "Huh?" She was taken aback.
Chu Gexing's eyes seemed to want to kill.
Beitang Yujian was intimidated by the murderous aura and took a step back, comforting him, "Just because there are no clues now doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Don't worry, don't worry. I came here to investigate the traitors of the Sword Pavilion. These traitors were all remarkable figures back then. Since they were willing to join this mysterious organization... well, let's call it the Mysterious Organization for now. This name... isn't bad. Cough cough, it proves that the organization's power is indeed extraordinary. If we don't find out the clues soon, I'm afraid Shundu, hmph, will be plagued by disasters."
Le Yan's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"
When Beitang Yujian saw someone asking, he said smugly, "When I left Jian Ge, Dingyin Shi told me that a great change would happen in the north and advised me not to get involved."
Le Yan said, "Could it be that he's taken advantage of your terrible personality, that you'll always go south and north, so... he's deliberately doing the opposite of what you want?"
Beitang Yujian chuckled: "We really are like-minded. So... when I asked where I couldn't go, the sound master said the Daning area in the south, so I listened to it the other way around and came to Shun."
Ge Xing and Le Yan both broke out in a sweat: "You're really something."
Beitang Yujian laughed so hard his shoulders shook, just like a wealthy old landlord who loved money.
“Actually, I do have a general idea about the origins of these people,” Le Yan said.
Chu Gexing asked, "What is it?"
Le Yan said, "When I went to save Xiao Di, I saw the final scene of the self-destruction. I vaguely heard someone speaking a foreign accent among the people who had fallen to the ground."
"A foreign country?" Chu Gexing and Beitang Yujian both frowned.
Chu Gexing asked, "Did you understand what they were saying very clearly?"
“No,” Leyan replied.
Chu Ge Xing remained silent.
“However,” Leyan added, “if I’m not mistaken, it should be… a Yingzhou accent.”
"Why are you so sure? Could it be that you are also from Yingzhou? Ha, ha, that's not a funny joke." Beitang Yujian covered his mouth.
"I've only had a little exposure to it since I was little, so I can tell from the sound." Le Yan glared at him.
Beitang Yujian sighed, "Brother Yue is truly multi-talented."
Chu Gexing sneered: "At least you're a little better than me."
Beitang Yujian wept, leaning against his shoulder: "Waaah, there's no need to be so biased."
Chu Gexing frowned as he looked at the man's head resting on his shoulder, feeling an urge to strangle him.
"Hey, hey," Le Yan gently nudged Bei Tang with her arm, "Go home and cry if you want to."
Chu Gexing grabbed her arm: "Don't get too close to idiots, it's contagious."
Seemingly sensing his murderous intent, Beitang Yujian turned and hugged Leyan's left arm: "Waaah, my heart is broken..."
Le Yan stroked his shoulder, comforting him tenderly, "It's okay, you just had bad luck with the man..."
Chu Gexing watched this pair of troublemakers, a bead of sweat slowly sliding down his forehead.

"The way these people came is so strange, and their methods are so ruthless, that we can't find any clues for a while. No wonder you're having a headache."
"It's good that you know."
"However, I still don't want to go there."
"……Why?"
"Because... I just figured something out."
"What's up?"
"I can't tell you. By the way, if you need help, I think Beitang Yujian is a good choice."
"Ugh, don't talk about this person."
"Why is he annoying? His swordsmanship is strong enough, his status is high enough, and his reaction is quick enough..."
"I have eyes, I can see for myself. Besides, are you trying to sell him?"
"I just think he is very... insightful."
"Tang Leyan, it's fine if you don't come. Whether I have someone with me or not is none of your concern!"
Is it really necessary to get so angry?
"I'm not angry."
"So you're showing your inner displeasure?"
"If you don't want to help, then get lost!"
