MTL - The Sword Named No Way Out-Chapter 48

There was only one thought in Gong Wei's mind: So what have I become?

At this time, there was only a soft sound, and Xu Shuangce put down the teacup in a serious manner: "I am very displeased with this young fellow who is ignorant and ignorant. What's the matter with you, Ying Kai?"

—I'm in a bad mood right now, I don't want to talk to you, if you have something serious to say, hurry up.

Ying Kai was not an eloquent person in the first place, and all the manuscripts that he had memorized eight or nine times beforehand were immediately suppressed, and he didn't have time to organize his words in his nervousness: "No...it's nothing, that, Mu Duozhu will help you The little disciple has prepared a medicine that quickly replenishes spiritual power, and I want to personally deliver it to you..."

Xu Shuangce didn't even move his sitting position: "I don't dare to show my dignity with humility. I'll get on the golden boat to get it myself after it's over."

His unmoving posture made Ying Kai feel even more guilty: "How can I do it, human life is at stake, or I'll let Changsheng send it to you..."

"Dignified Sword Sect is busy with affairs, so it's better not to accept this favor."

"But your little disciple's physical condition..."

"I pour a lot of spiritual power into him every day to strengthen his vitality, so now he has recovered rapidly, and even his appetite has improved a lot." Xu Shuangce turned his head and said lightly: "You see?"

Ying Kai just wanted to say how it was possible to improve so quickly, and then his eyes fell on a bowl full of boiled vegetables in white water in front of Gong Wei. The bowl was so big that he could bury half of Leader Ying's head in it.

"..."

Under Ying Kai's shocked gaze, Gong Wei slowly raised her hand to cover her face.

"I am very grateful for your concern. After returning to Xianmeng, I will definitely ask him to go to Shu Palace to pay his respects." Xu Shuang changed his voice: "Brother Ying, is there anything else you need?"

"Let him go to Punish Shu Gong to pay his respects" This sentence saved Ying Kai from the brink of losing his mind. He struggled to look away from the pot of green vegetables, and the four words of forced face and laughter were not enough to describe the expression of Leader Ying: "For the time being... not for the time being. If this is the case, Shuang Ce, you must go and come back quickly, I am punishing you." Shu Gong is waiting for you, okay?"

Xu Shuangce said happily, "That's natural."

Ying Kai's worrying nature determined that he couldn't help nagging, but he was afraid that if he cared too much, it would arouse Xu Shuangce's suspicion. Twitching and struggling for a few rounds, he wanted to take another look at the younger brother before leaving, but he didn't dare, so he withdrew the magic circle sadly.

The light in the private room of the tavern faded, and Xu Shuangce leaned back in the armchair, drinking tea slowly without speaking, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

The more he was like this, the more confused Gong Wei felt, he didn't dare to say a word, he only dared to pretend to concentrate and swallow the vegetables with his neck straight. But that green vegetable was originally the thing he hated the most, the harder he swallowed it, the more he would lose his taste, and the more he couldn't eat it, the more he would get stuck in his throat; at this moment, he suddenly missed the kind and talkative Meng Yunfei and the dog he invited Drunk chicken, the whole person will be overwhelmed by grievance and sadness.

Just when his soul was about to fly to the Yanchun Terrace, there was a sudden sound, and it was Xu Shuangce who put down the celadon cup heavily.

He said coldly, "If you don't like it, don't eat it."

Gong Wei was so excited that he didn't even have time to put down his chopsticks: "I don't dare! This bowl of green vegetables is bestowed by Master, how can I not..."

Before the words were finished, Xu Shuangce flicked his sleeves, and the wind blew past, and even the vegetables and soup disappeared in front of Gong Wei, and the bottom of the bowl was shining brightly.

"Go to Yanchun Terrace."

Xu Shuangce's face was frosty, and he patted a finger-sized piece of gold with the emblem of Cangyangzong on the table, turned around and walked out with great strides.

I'm clearly trying to eat vegetables, why is Xu Shuangce angry again?

Gong Wei was both aggrieved and puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask if he had the guts, so he hurriedly chased him out. In such a blink of an eye, Xu Shuangce had disappeared at the end of the long street. Gong Wei lacked spiritual power and walked slowly. While chasing after him, he tried to find the unique white sandal breath of Xu Zongzhu from the crowd. Into the stagnant water under the steps, blurted out: "Oh!"

Before the "ah" fell, time suddenly stopped.

The peddler peddled his mouth with his mouth open, the running dogs froze their tongues, a needle dropped on the street could be heard, and the movements of all pedestrians were frozen in mid-air.

Gong Wei's toes were hanging above the puddle of water.

A tall, tall figure with loose clothes and wide sleeves passed through the crowd, with an indifferent face, without saying a word, he walked steadily and grabbed Gong Wei's wrist.

—The next moment, time suddenly resumed its flow, and the voices and lively chatter and laughter rose from all sides. Gong Wei staggered on the bluestone steps with his strength, and stood firm.

No one noticed what happened just now, the domestic dog barking through the street wagging its tail.

"Master..."

Xu Shuangce pursed her thin lips tightly without saying a word, her knife-like sharp eyes were hanging down to block her expression.

His indistinguishable expression made Gong Wei very scared, his wrist was clenched to the point of pain, but he didn't dare to struggle, so he whispered: "Next time, I will definitely follow Master closely, No more looking around."

It might be his illusion, because Xu Shuangce seemed to stop breathing after hearing this sentence, and then looked up at him: "Is it true?"

Gong Wei nodded quickly: "Yes."

"..."

Xu Shuangce's gaze was dark and deep, as if he wanted to see right into his heart. As if it had been a long time and seemed like a moment, he suddenly looked away and laughed, with a short and sarcastic ending.

"I don't believe it," he said.

What is so hard to believe?

Gong Wei was confused, but Xu Shuangce didn't give him more time. He held Gong Wei's wrist like this, and took a small step in the busy city - as if a hundred miles of land were shrunk to a square inch, and in an instant, the busy streets and row upon row of houses retreated in unison; Gong Wei I felt a blur in front of my eyes, and when Xu Shuangce's foot landed on the ground, they had already arrived on the hillside outside the city gate.

shrink into an inch!

The strong inertia caused by the spell pushed Gong Wei forward, and the next moment the clear white sandalwood breath rushed towards his face.

Xu Shuangce seemed to have expected this pounce, and when he landed, he turned around and stretched out his hand, taking Gong Wei into his arms.

"Master, forgive me, I..."

Xu Shuangce turned around and said calmly, "Let's go."

He held Gong Wei's hand just like that, and walked along the gravel road outside the city gate.

Gong Wei was ignorant and did not dare to break free, the wrist that was being held was hot and uncomfortable, and there was a strange feeling of being held in a trance. Holding hands and walking side by side with Xu Shuangce like this is the most incredible thing in life. What is even more incredible is that Xu Shuangce has no intention of using magic at all. Like walking towards the light blue mountains hundreds of miles away.

After walking for a mile, Gong Wei finally couldn't help coughing cowardly: "...Master?"

"how?"

"Master, how can you set foot on this earthly road in person, why don't you use the sword?"

Xu Shuangce said calmly: "Generally speaking, reversing time consumes spiritual power the most, and the second is shrinking the ground to an inch, probably because it violates nature."

Gong Wei hurriedly said "Oh" respectfully.

"Passing the Yanchun Terrace, the road ahead is unknown. At this moment, it is best to keep your spiritual power in case of unexpected events."

"..." Gong Wei thought to himself, but you still haven't explained why you don't use the sword?

He couldn't help sneaking a peek at Xu Shuangce's waist from the corner of his eyes. The black inner armor and black satin girdle were exposed from the outer robe, which was empty, and the sword was not on his back.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he hasn't seen helpless for a long time, did Xu Shuangce forget to bring it?

Gong Wei's heart was tormented by curiosity, and he really wanted to ask Master why you didn't wear a sword anymore, but he was afraid of reminding Xu Shuangce that he would be able to call out Fu Nai with just raising his hand. After thinking wildly all the way, he couldn't help but peeked sideways from the corner of his eyes again. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Xu Shuangce's gaze, and instantly saw his own reflection in those dark eyes.

Gong Wei's heart reached his throat, and he lowered his eyes immediately.

"Looking at what?" Xu Shuangce asked slowly.

Gong Wei focused on the gravel road under his feet, and lowered his head humbly: "Look... look at the master's wisdom and martial arts, the jade tree is facing the wind, as if a **** descended to earth..."

The footsteps beside him stopped suddenly.

Gong Wei immediately closed her mouth tactfully and stood still, feeling that the gaze on her side was focused on her for a long time before moving away, Xu Shuangce's deep voice in the breeze blew past her ears, it seemed a little gentle: "Look over there."

Gong Wei raised his head in a daze, followed Xu Shuangce's eyes to look at the sky, and saw the endless green land on the outskirts of the city, and two small black dots passing by on the skyline. When he looked closely, he realized that it was two larks chasing each other. This one chased that one, and that one turned around this one for a while, and finally walked side by side, affectionately disappearing in the distant high sky.

"did you see it?"

Just two lovebirds. Gong Wei was uncertain: "...ah?"

Xu Shuangce exhaled almost silently, but he didn't explain anything, he just asked, "Are you tired?"

Gong Wei quickly shook his head.

Xu Shuangce didn't say anything more, just led him and continued to walk forward.

·

Gong Wei said that he was not tired, but after several miles, he still walked more and more slowly, so Xu Shuangce let him rest in the roadside pavilion for half an hour. Repeatedly walking and stopping like this several times, Gong Wei's feet became more and more sore, and she couldn't help but lean on Xu Shuangce, who had been holding her all the time; after a meal like this, I don't know if Xu Zongzhu is Didn't he finally get annoyed by the chaffing, so he showed mercy and then opened and shrunk to an inch, bringing the tired-looking Gong Wei to the foot of the mountain.

Surrounded by golden clouds and shrouded in immortal light, a large number of magnificent buildings loom on the top of the mountain. Strange birds and birds can't go circling, making bursts of clear chirping. It is the Yanchun Terrace where Le Sheng Liu Xuzhi lives all the year round. .

Probably because Ying Kai had already known about Liu Xuzhi, at this moment the disciples of Le Sheng's sect had already lined up all the way, waiting to greet him along the way, and winding along the long stone steps from the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. At the end of the queue, there was a familiar figure wearing a silver-gray robe, wearing a crown and holding a sword, handsome and handsome, pacing back and forth on the wide stone steps, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

Gong Wei, who was far away, recognized this brother at a glance. It was Meng Yunfei who hadn't seen him since the Linjiangdu farewell.

Xu Shuangce stopped and said coldly, "Isn't that your friend?"

Gong Wei is not stupid at all. Although he didn't know why Meng Yunfei offended Sect Master Xu, even a deaf person could hear the displeasure in Xu Shuangce's words, and immediately denied it without hesitation: "This disciple grew up in the Cangyang Sect since childhood. , the whole family is full of friends, but Mr. Meng only met him once in Linjiangdu, and he has never seen him since. Master is a lesson!"

Xu Shuangce said: "He is waiting for you."

Gong Wei was categorical: "I must be waiting for Master!"

Xu Shuangce looked at him noncommittally, and suddenly stretched out his hand to type a spell.

The conversations of the people on the hillside a hundred zhang away suddenly rang clearly in their ears, only one disciple laughed and said: "Brother Meng has been waiting here all morning, why isn't that best friend of the Cangyang Sect not here?" Come on, why don’t you bring a sound transmission talisman?” Another disciple joked with a smile: “Senior Brother Meng has to redo the dim sum prepared three times, who cares about the chickens in the kitchen!” “Senior Brother Meng again If you walk down, the blue brick will be worn away by three inches!"

Meng Yunfei finally couldn't hold it anymore, but he was a gentle man, he wouldn't even get angry loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, this is the way of hospitality, what do you know!"

"Brother Meng is blushing!" "Hahahaha..."

The chickens in the kitchen.

"Master!" Gong Wei's eyes were darkened, and he bent over and bowed decisively, with a realistic expression of grief: "I really broke the precept in a moment of confusion, but I don't want to leave the impression of being greedy for food to outsiders. I promise not to do it next time." —”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Shuangce suddenly reached out to help him up inch by inch.

From this angle, Gong Wei could see Xu Shuangce's jawline tightened more clearly than usual when he raised his eyes.

For some reason, he felt that Sect Master Xu felt unhappy whenever he mentioned Yanchun Terrace along the way, especially when he met Meng Yunfei at this moment, even to the point where it could be called "depressed". But on the contrary, not only did he not explain why he was down, but he also raised his head, looking even a little lonely.

He spit out two words: "Hurry up."

Immediately, Gong Wei's left wrist was replaced by his left hand, and the free right hand pressed Gong Wei's shoulder, and he jumped up suddenly!

"Who is that?" "Xu, Sect Master Xu?!" "Sect Master Xu is here!"

All the disciples of Le Sheng on the mountain raised their heads in surprise, Xu Shuangce led Gong Weifei straight up, his robe sleeves fluttered, and they came hundreds of meters away in one breath, and stepped on the top of the mountain with one foot!

The wind howled and the clouds scattered, Gong Wei only had time to see Meng Yunfei's surprised face on the way, and the next moment he soared through the clouds and fog to the top and landed on the top of the forty-nine sapphire steps of Yanchun Terrace. He was caught off guard and stood firm, feeling Xu Shuangce's right hand loosen from his shoulder, but then his cold fingers grabbed his left wrist again, forcing him to stand side by side with him in front of Lesheng's bedroom.

The door of the magnificent palace is closed tightly, and there is a vivid storytelling voice coming from the crack of the door:

"I saw that Fahua Immortal Venerable blushed, and fell in love with Cangyang Sect Master at first sight, and goodbye. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the days of only envying mandarin ducks and not immortals did not last long. The world's greatest lover has been intervened by Ye Jinmen Sword Sect..."

Gong Wei's only thought at this time was to break free from Xu Shuangce's hand, turn around and jump off the banquet spring platform.

At this time, a gentle and refined voice interrupted the storyteller, sighing and said wistfully: "This Huangquan can't read the details of love and words, and it's often heard and always updated. It's really a masterpiece of folk legends! It's a pity—"

The storyteller hurriedly asked: "Lord Le Sheng, why is it such a pity?"

Le Sheng Liu Xuzhi sighed again, heavier than before:

"Today Xu Zong is mainly coming to Yanchun Terrace as a guest, and the time should have reached the foot of the mountain, so change a copy!"

Gong Wei: "..."

Gong Wei covered his face with one hand and remained silent, only to hear that Liu Xuzhi suddenly became interested again: "By the way, did Kaiyuan Zabao publish any latest masterpieces last month?"

Storyteller: "Yes, there are, one is about the mentor and apprentice of the Young Master of the Destiny Department, and the other is the continuation of the secret history of Master Ying. It tells the story of Master Ying and Master Xu who traveled together in the world when they were young, and their love was secretly born. ..."

"Hey, I'm also a master myself, so I know that those master-disciple stories are all nonsense." Liu Xuzhi thought for a while and said, "Either you should answer the secret history of the leader, which is more reliable."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Shuangce's face sank like water outside the door, and he suddenly brushed his sleeves—Boom!

Two heavy palace doors roared and flew out, smashing into the wall of the main hall in a shocking manner, creating two huge holes!

The gravel was flying and the dust and smoke were curling up. I saw a figure jumping up from the reclining chair like lightning. He jumped half a foot high. Then he grabbed the stunned storyteller and rushed into the inner hall like an arrow off the string. So fast that I didn't even have time to put on my shoes.

Xu Shuang held Gong Wei's hand, stepped into the messy main hall, and said slowly, "Liu, Xu, it."

The author has something to say:

Master and Apprentice, Le Sheng Liu Xuzhi’s CP Blind Spot

But the next volume will not be a blind spot.
