Chapter 195: Yun Xi, two treasures beside her
At the same time, on the street on the other side of the market, due to martial law in the city, no one was allowed to walk on the streets. Although the doors of each store were still open, the store owners and the customers who visited the stores before had to stay indoors to avoid being arrested and interrogated by the patrolling Sword Sect disciples.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-
Accompanied by the sound of a wooden bell, Yun Xi, dressed in gold and white uniforms, was walking towards the sword pavilion, preparing to go to the sword pavilion to check the situation.
It was said that the sound of this wooden bell could make people feel peaceful, but at this moment, it made her feel like the veins on her forehead were about to burst out of her skin.
After walking for a while, she really couldn’t bear it anymore, so she kicked Zhang Yihe on the butt next to her,
“Damn it!! Zhang Yihe!! Can you stop knocking on that broken wooden bell in your hand?”
“Ah…”
Zhang Yihe took two steps forward before standing still. He turned to look back at his young lady and Pei Lianxue, who was looking around and said,
“But young lady… Oh no, third lady, didn’t you say you want to accumulate merit? This wooden bell accumulates merit.”
“…”
Hearing this, Yun Xi’s eyes suddenly twitched. She now suspected that this person named Zhang was a spy planted by her second sister or eldest sister. He simply wouldn’t stop until he pissed her off.
She did not accomplish anything last year when she left the sect and went to Chilong Mansion. She lost eleven outstanding disciples in the foundation-building period, many of whom were from aristocratic families. Therefore, after returning to the sect a few days ago, she only dealt with the aftermath. It took all her energy to write a letter of apology and compensation.
The elders concluded that she was the leader and did not have insight into the events in Chilong Mansion, so she took full responsibility. Therefore, they deducted her Xiri Peak’s merit points and deprived her of the title “Young Miss of the Sword Sect”.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi’s cheeks suddenly turned red. She was panting like an ox and stared at “the man named Zhang”.
“Zhang Yihe!!! What the hell are you…”
“Young lady, don’t be angry. This anger will affect your merits and luck. Let’s laugh. Come and see me, hehe -”
Da da–
With that said, Zhang Yihe knocked the wooden bell in his hand twice more and said, “Come on, Miss Third, laugh! Then take a deep breath!… Inhale – exhale – inhale – exhale…”
“… You…”
Yun Xi couldn’t hold herself any longer. She sniffed immediately, put her hands on Pei Lianxue’s shoulders, and cried,
“Aaaaaaaaaaah—Sister Pei, what kind of evil did I commit in my previous life? To meet this thing…”
Pei Lianxue was stunned for a moment, then she quickly rubbed her head with a smile and comforted,
“The more merit you accumulate in this life, the better you will be in the next life.”
?
Hearing this, Yun Xi was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Pei Lianxue’s innocent and cold face. She couldn’t curse at all and couldn’t even get angry.
“Why–”
She stood up straight, raised her hands, and rubbed her face, forcing a smile on her face.
“Troublesome things come one after another…”
She hadn’t even gone to talk to her eldest sister about her brother’s marriage to his eldest sister, but now such a big thing happened again in the city.
Yun Yiyi would compete with her for the credit for this murder case. As for Yun Jiujiu, she could be ignored. She had no brains and would not investigate the case at all.
Thinking about competing with Yun Yiyi and finding the murderer at the same time, Yun Xi felt a headache and then asked with a smile,
“Zhang Yihe, do you have any thoughts about the Pavilion? Why would someone kill so many internal disciples?”
“I don’t know.” Zhang Yihe shrugged slightly and replied, “It’s okay. I knocked on the wooden bell all night last night, and when I got up today, I asked my senior brother to do a divination, saying that we had excellent luck today. I can’t tell for sure. We were walking on the road for a while, and the culprit of this incident hit us in the face and was caught by the three of us?”
“Oh.”
Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him without saying anything, then stretched and looked around. She wanted to look around unintentionally, but when her vision swept across the alley next to a restaurant in front of her, she suddenly noticed that a wooden box outside the restaurant moved.
“Um!”
Yun Xi rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong, but she wasn’t sure, so she pointed to the wooden box and asked,
“Zhang Yihe, did you see the box move just now?”
“What box?” Zhang Yihe looked confused, “Has it been moved?”
Yun Xi felt that she had asked the wrong person, so she looked at Pei Lianxue again and repeated the question,
“Did Sister Pei see it?”
“Well… It’s moving.”
“…Then why didn’t you say it right away?”
Pei Lianxue flattened her mouth, tilted her head, and replied, “Didn’t you ask?”
Yun Xi took a deep breath and felt a little tired, but she quickly took her spirit sword from her storage bag and rushed to the box.
“You are hiding in the box, I will count to three. If you come out alone, I will deal with you leniently. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.”
“Three!”
Boom–
After Yun Xi counted the first sound, the wooden box exploded instantly, and a long sword penetrated from the wooden box and stabbed straight at Yun Xi’s neck.
Why don’t you follow the routine? Yun Xi’s eyes widened, and she subconsciously shrank back.
But the next moment——
A flash of ice-blue sword light flashed past the incoming spirit sword.
Ding–
Sparks!
Pei Lianxue expressionlessly used her spiritual sword to knock the man’s spiritual sword to the ground.
At this time, Yun Xi finally saw the attacker’s clothes and face clearly. It was an adult man with blond hair wearing the golden and white uniform of a disciple of the Sword Sect. Even if Yun Xi could not recognize his name, he could tell from these two points that he was a disciple of the inner family.
“You!”
“Tsk…”
The man looked at his spirit sword pressed to the ground, smacking his tongue vigorously. He took two talismans from his storage bag and made sword fingers with his hands…
Swish——
The ice-blue sword light swept directly over the talisman, splitting the two yellow talismans into two, and at the same time, a trace of blood flew out.
A man’s left hand lost four fingers to Pei Lianxue’s sword.
“Ah – tut…”
Nevertheless, the man didn’t hesitate. He quickly kicked some eggs and fruits towards Yun Xi and the others. Seizing the opportunity, he turned and fled into the adjacent alley.
Pei Lianxue raised an eyebrow slightly, dodged the incoming eggs, and prepared to pursue, but Yun Xi grabbed her shoulder and intervened,
“Sister Pei, let him run.”
“Huh!” Pei Lianxue turned with a puzzled expression. Seeing the egg yolk and egg white on Yun Xi’s face, she paused, “Not chasing!”
Yun Xi wiped the egg remnants off her face, shook her hands, then glanced at the vanished assailant, responding,
“That person only has Qi Refining Perfection. He’s just a small pawn. With martial law in the city, catching him would take much work. It’s better to see where he plans to escape to.”
“Oh… alright!”
Afterwards, Yun Xi turned to Zhang Yihe, who was holding a wooden bell with an egg in his mouth, and instructed,
“Zhang Yihe, go inform the disciples of the Sword Sect. Have them send some people to surround the five blocks nearby. Arrange for some aerial surveillance as well.”
“Woo! Woo woo woo…!”
“Spit out the eggs before talking.”
“Phew! Okay, what about you, Third Miss?”
“Sister Pei and I will go after him.”
