The sky over the rivers and lakes is very clear

Chapter 239

Because when the gentleman and lady saved her, it was out of genuine kindness; now, although they don't like her anymore, it's just a misunderstanding—they think she's related to some little fish demon. Even though she doesn't know that person at all, and even though they don't believe her, this misunderstanding will eventually be cleared up. What's there to be sad about?

Forget it! I've been having a run of bad luck lately, so I'll just go to Qingfengya and pick up Zhu Huahua. Let's set off together, you two!

Anyway, it's always been like this, so now it's just going back to square one and starting all over again!

Zhu Huihui sighed deeply.

The tiny needle mark between her eyebrows, where the shrew had pierced her with a silver needle, had closed up, but it still stung a little, a subtle pain lingering in her heart.

The sky over the rivers and lakes is very clear. Ⅱ42009-07-16 15:12 The colors of the trees follow the mountains, and the rivers and mountains flow into the distant sea.

Xuan Yue Shui Yu Dongting Lake Embankment, clouds swirl around the sandy shore, willows are dyed with thick smoke.

At dusk, a light rain was falling, and a breeze was blowing on my face.

Maple leaves strolled leisurely along the long embankment, their colors as pure as snow. Though their eyes could not see, their hearts soared as high as the sky beyond the clouds.

His flowing black hair, calm and handsome face, snow-white clothes, and powerful longsword.

The raindrops, like powder and smoke, seemed to bounce off as they fell around him, as if encountering a powerful force.

The distant sound of a flute drifted from a small building, sounding melancholic and desolate in the drizzle.

Feng Xuese stood under a willow tree, listening quietly. Although he was far away, he could still feel the sentiment in the flute music of someone who had lofty ambitions but could not realize them.

The flute player is Yan Shenhan.

His injuries were too severe. Although Miss Mu treated him with the elixir from the Valley of Sorrow, he still could not fully recover. His feet were unable to walk properly, and his hands could barely hold a pen and a flute, but he could not do anything else.

That night was filled with bloodshed and turmoil for the four great martial arts families. Feng Xuese had roamed the martial world for many years, experiencing countless dangers. Even when he was fighting amidst a thicket of swords in complete darkness, he had never felt any fear.

Because at that time, although he was blind, he was holding a pair of soft little hands.

That night, he lost his hands and nearly lost two close friends...

Under the influence of Mu Guniang's medicine, west Yeyan and Yan Shenhan slept for two whole days before waking up.

Then Feng Xue Se finally learned the details of how the two were murdered.

"A year ago, Liu Yue and I fought in the capital while standing up for others, but neither side could gain the upper hand. On my way to Yueyang this time, I ran into him again, and we agreed to fight again at Jiaoya Islet. At that time, one of us was on the shore and the other on the boat, and we were using the sounds of the zither and flute to test our internal strength. Just at the critical moment, we discovered that a passerby had mistakenly entered and was injured by the music. We withdrew our strength too quickly and both suffered serious internal injuries. Later, Zhu Liu Yue disregarded his injuries, leaped ashore, said a few words to me, picked up the person who had been injured, and hurriedly left."

"My injuries were quite severe, making it difficult for me to travel. So I found a secluded place to recuperate and heal. But at the critical moment, someone suddenly appeared. This person's martial arts were truly unpredictable. I was injured and was subdued by him. And then... I ended up like this!"

After hearing Yan Shenhan's words, west Yeyan said, "No wonder you were injured like this. It turns out you fought Zhu Liuyue to the death!"

Yan Shenhan said with shame, "I feel really bad for implicating Brother Yan."

Nishino En smiled wryly: "There's nothing to feel bad about! I was just careless and almost got killed! We're both embarrassed, so neither of us should blame the other."

Feng Xuese asked, "Shen Han, do you have any clues about that man in black?"

Yan Shenhan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, I have never seen this person before. His weapon is a flute, and his martial arts are strange and difficult to identify, as it is hard to tell what school he belongs to."

Nishino En suddenly said, "I know who this person is!"

"Who?" Feng Xuese and Yan Shenhan asked in unison.

"Xue Se, do you still remember the man in black who was chased away by everyone when Brother Jianwu hosted a banquet at his waterside pavilion?"

Feng Xuese nodded: "It's him?"

“It was him!” Nishino En said with certainty. “He was the one who ambushed me! Although he changed his weapon, I had fought with him before, so I recognized him as soon as he made a move!”

Feng Xuese nodded silently.

west Yeyan then asked, "Old Yan, you said Zhu Liuyue was also seriously injured?"

“Hmm,” Yan Shenhan said, “His skill is about the same as mine. I’m badly injured, and he probably isn’t much better off.”

west Yeyan pondered for a moment and said, "Zhu Liuyue's injury is perhaps more serious than you imagine."

Yan Shenhan frowned: "Oh?"

"Tell me first, wasn't the unfortunate passerby that Zhu Liuyue carried away a little girl with round eyes and chubby cheeks, and accompanied by a big fat pig?"

"I didn't get a good look at her face, but she definitely had a big pig with her," Yan Shenhan asked. "Who is she?"

"She is Yukiiro's newly adopted younger sister. You've probably heard of her; she's the girl who's been hanging out with Yukiiro lately."

Yan Shenhan let out an apologetic "Ah," and looked at Feng Xuese with a hint of regret: "I'm sorry, I hurt her!"

Feng Xuese gave a bitter smile: "It's not your fault, it's just that the child was unlucky!"

Li grew increasingly worried. It turned out that Huihui had been taken away by Zhu Liuyue. Was her injury... serious?

Knowing what he was thinking, Xi Yeyan didn't dare to describe Zhu Huihui's injuries and changed the subject, saying, "I said Zhu Liuyue's injuries weren't serious based on the footprints he left next to Huahua—that is, Zhu Huihui's big pig!" He briefly described the scene he saw at the time.

Feng Xuese and Yan Shenhan both fell silent, and couldn't help but ask themselves: If I were seriously injured, would I still be able to use such superb lightness skills?

The answer is: yes, but perhaps not with such ease.

Could it be that Zhu Liuyue's martial arts skills are actually this high?

Yan Shenhan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, it's not Liu Yue."

Nishino En paused for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said, "That's right, maybe it's not him."
