Gallinas y perros vuelan en el caos y el renacimiento

Capítulo 12

Xiao Di suddenly sensed something was wrong, opened his eyes, and his gaze sharpened.

When her gaze caught a glimpse of the man's severed arm, her two slender, picturesque eyes burned with a mixture of hatred and murderous intent.

※※※※※

This chapter title is so pure it couldn't be purer.

Chapter Eleven: Sword Light

Xiao Di was leaning against the white jade door, holding his sword, waiting quietly with his eyes closed.

Upon glancing at Tang Leyan's immobile left arm, he moved swiftly and, without any visible movement, had already appeared beside her.

With a wave of his hand, he deftly slid the sword in his bosom into his waistband, and with both hands outstretched, he firmly grasped Tang Leyan's left arm.

A series of actions were completed in the blink of an eye.

"Ouch...it hurts so much, boohoo, don't be so rough." Someone knew how to seize the opportunity. The smiling, composed demeanor that had been present in the imperial court was nowhere to be seen.

"Bear with it," Xiao Di said in a deep voice, frowning.

"It really hurts, oh, Xiao Di, I can't stand up anymore, my head is so dizzy..." She swayed and leaned against Xiao Di.

"If you dare to fall, I'll stomp on you twice."

"I suddenly have strength again," Tang Leyan said, miraculously standing up. Looking at the person in front of her with affection, she met his disdainful gaze and said confidently, "Xiao Di, this is the power of love!"

"I just want to know what power caused you to get hurt, young master!" Xiao Di asked coldly.

“This…” Tang Leyan’s face showed a fleeting embarrassment, then she smiled, “This is of course the opposite of love.”

"Then where does the opposing force of love come from?" Xiao Di's eyes sharpened.

"Well..." Tang Leyan hesitated.

Just then, Xiao Di used both hands forcefully, grabbing Tang Leyan's left shoulder with one hand and her left arm with the other, and forcefully pulled her arm upwards.

"Ouch...it hurts so much, this is my first time..." A blush-inducing gasp.

"..." Xiao Di was speechless.

"Be gentle..."

"Shut up! ==+" I could no longer tolerate it.

"Waaaah, why are you being so fierce..."

Xiao Di's eyes were sharp, and he stopped talking, his hands moving constantly, patting and touching Tang Leyan's arm.

"The person who attacked you wasn't too ruthless; they didn't crack your joints. As long as your tendons and veins are undamaged, it's fine. But the longer it drags on, the more painful it becomes. If it had grown any longer, your arm would have been ruined. Why didn't you set it yourself back then?"

Someone thought for a moment, then said in a coquettish tone, "I wanted you to do it."

"==++ Here we go again..."

※※※※※

Just as Tang Leyan's severed arm was being set, a large number of people filed out from the passageway in front of the main hall not far behind them.

Tang Leyan frowned slightly and muttered softly, "This is outrageous. Why did everyone leave so early?"

I caught a glimpse of the three people at the very front.

My heart started pounding.

One of them had a fair complexion, a full forehead, and clear, bright eyes. The only flaw was that he exuded an icy, aloof aura that made people afraid to approach him.

The man to his right walked with a powerful stride, exuding an aura of strength. His sharply defined face wore a sunny smile as he spoke as he walked.

The man to his right, dressed in blue brocade with a peacock blue cloak draped diagonally, was as handsome as a jade tree standing in the wind, except for his woman-like face.

Tang Leyan quickly turned around and muttered under her breath, "This is what they call 'enemies meeting on a narrow road'."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Di asked from the side, following her gaze.

The people who left just now...

Hmph, I can't stand the sight of her!

"Nothing, I'm suddenly very hungry, Xiao Di, I want to eat sweet and sour fish slices, crystal meatballs..." Someone stretched out their left hand, which was barely able to move, and prepared to recite the names of the dishes.

"Keep this to tell Shi Shu Mo Hua when we get back." Interrupting her, Xiao Di turned around, reached out and gently placed her hand on her left arm, immediately lowering her voice, "Does it still hurt?"

"It was still a little sore, but after you squeezed it, it feels much better." Tang Leyan smiled broadly and reached out to hold his hand. "Let's go, let's go."

Xiao Di immediately withdrew his hand.

※※※※※

"Hey, look at that flamboyant red outfit, who else could it be but the newly crowned martial arts champion?"

"Yes, yes, the top scholar is indeed extraordinary. He is so calm and collected so quickly, making me worry for you for a long time."

"And who is this person next to you...?"

Wow, he's really handsome...

"I never imagined that the top scholar would say he wanted her to be your 'bride' one day, and then immediately follow 'someone else' the next. His heartlessness is truly unbearable... Waaah..."

"Pfft, brother, haven't you had enough fun yet? You were just..."

Watching Chu Gexing and Chu Gexun laughing and having a good time together, Tang Le remained unfazed, still waving his fan as if it were just a passing breeze.

※※※※※

Standing next to Tang Leyan, Xiao Di suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Which one?"

"Which one?" she asked casually.

Who laid a hand on you?

"Xiao Di, I'm so hungry..." he tried to bluff his way out.

“The one on the right has abundant internal energy and follows a fierce and powerful path. If he were to injure you, he would definitely not be able to strike just right without breaking your bones. The one in the middle has a calm aura and has not looked this way once from beginning to end. His internal energy is not very abundant, and he is no match for you.” Xiao Di lowered his eyes and looked at the sword at his waist.

"Xiao Di..." Tang Leyan was finally moved.

“This last one, I…” Xiao Di snorted coldly, turned his head away, and said coldly, “I can’t tell where he came from.”

Tang Leyan stopped fanning herself and said softly, "Xiao Di... listen to me..."

"It must be that last blue-clad demon," Xiao Di said softly.

Tang Leyan was taken aback, instinctively wanting to praise Xiao Di. "Truly worthy of following this young master," she thought, "such innate wisdom! To be able to offer such a concise and insightful summary of the Nine Gates Admiral, Chu Gexing, upon first meeting him." But before she could speak, Xiao Di slowly raised his head, his deep, ink-painting-like eyes opening. Fine strands of hair on his forehead fluttered gently like tassels in the still air, as if a scene of misty rain, green willows, and clear skies in Jiangnan were slowly unfolding before her eyes.

In an instant, a soft "click" was heard, and the sword that was at Xiao Di's waist suddenly jumped up and was held in the boy's hand. At the same time, a sword light as fast as lightning swept across the clear sky above the Meridian Gate!

※※※※※

Chapter Twelve Assassination

A dazzling sword light, as bright as lightning, suddenly swept across the clear sky above the Meridian Gate.

Chu Gexing glanced at her with his peach blossom eyes and gave a cold snort.

He didn't move, but Chu Gexun beside him did.

This kid...

Chu Ge had no time to curse.

With a swift movement, he had already darted toward the Meridian Gate guard who was standing there in a daze. The guard only felt a sudden emptiness at his waist, but it turned out that General Huwei had snatched the precious sword from his waist and, in a flash, moved to meet the sword light that was cutting through the air.

It happened so fast it was breathtaking. The civil and military officials nearby hadn't even had time to react. Some of them were even strolling forward leisurely, discussing as they went: "How about we go to my place for a drink at noon today?"

The person said, "The Tower of Love and Despair has gained a few more beautiful women..."

The sound was like the buzzing of flies, flying through the air.

Wherever the sword light went, it cut through the invisible air and sound waves, causing a momentary thud in one's eardrums, as if one had lost their hearing.

Xiao Di's sword pierced straight towards Chu Gexing's chest.

Before the person even arrived, the sword energy had already surged forth.

The peacock blue cloak behind Chu Gexing fluttered backward in an instant, dancing in the air.

But the Nine Gates Admiral was truly remarkable. Despite being on the verge of death, his face, as delicate as a flower reflected in water, showed no fear whatsoever.

The person didn't move an inch.

But Chu Zhen, who was standing next to him, was sweating bullets for him.

Just as Chu Gexing's sword was about to pierce through the blue official robe on his chest.

A figure flashed by—Chu Ge Xun leaped into the air, his body parallel to the ground, and thrust his precious sword horizontally towards the ground.

There was a "ding" sound.

A fine sword versus a fine saber.

The bright light illuminated Xiao Di's slender eyes, which looked as if they had been painted, and the wisps of hair on his forehead swayed slightly with the sword energy.

Before Chu Gexun could even catch his breath, he felt an unusual force travel from the treasured sword to his hand. This force seemed to have a spirit of its own, and in an instant, it wrapped around his wrist.

If Chu Gexun hadn't experienced life-or-death moments on the battlefield, he would have screamed for help long ago.

Even so, a sharp pain shot through my wrist, followed by a gush of bright red blood from the ruptured web between my thumb and forefinger.

"It's too late... This is bad..." Chu Gexun was shocked and couldn't help but look up at Chu Gexing.

※※※※※

"She is indeed a beautiful child."

When Xiao Di's murderous eyes stared straight at him amidst the glint of clashing swords, such a thought popped into Chu Gexing's mind.

To think that such a gifted expert would be by Le Yan's side, and that he was just a young man...

Before he could think further, a slight sound coming from Chu Ge Xun's knife hilt made Chu Ge Xing's expression change!

You audacious brat, do you really want to kill me?

Before he could think any further, Chu Gexing reached out and flicked his finger on the hilt of Chu Gexun's knife.

Almost instantly, the moment Chu Ge made his move, Tang Leyan, who had been waving a fan to the side, also moved.

Chu Ge extended his finger and gently flicked the hilt of Chu Ge Xun's knife.
