The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

The sword mound is as desolate as ever.

Here is a forbidden place and a cemetery. There are only swords, no tombstones, and no traces of scary death, only silence.

Qiqiqi looked around at the standing swords.

If you lose your master, you can only end the rest of your life in this way. If they are also conscious, like Tianji, then this kind of ending would be too cruel and miserable.

However, no matter how the form changes, the martial artist of Heavenly Jade Palace uses only one sword throughout his life.

This is probably a kind of mutual respect and mutual dependence.

Thinking, Sun Wheel just climbed over the cliffs on all sides of the sword mound, and the sunlight poured in like overflowing water, and a dazzling burst of light flashed on the countless sword edges. Hui mang.

“Um…”

Hui Mang was almost blinded.

Qi Qiqi placed one hand on her forehead to cover her forehead and squinted her eyes. A soft low groan vented from her lips.

Suddenly, she felt that someone was watching her, and her head became heavy at the same time. She even faintly smelled the fragrance of flowers, which dazzled her.

Who is it?

Qi Qiqi covered her forehead and instinctively turned her head to look all around, but she didn’t find the owner of her sight, only the silhouette of two men accompanying her.

They are not looking at themselves.

One of the men seemed to notice the girl’s movement and turned his head to look over.

He is about forty years old, with a straight face that looks like uncommon martial heroism. The man is wearing dark green casual clothes with a sleeveless gown. He also holds a long sword in his hand and has a thick beard that is not long or short.

“Qi’er?”

Seeing Qi Qiqi’s face in a daze, the man walked over to take care of the girl and called her. His voice is quite solid, like a mountain.

Qi Qiqi looked up towards her Martial Uncle, who is much taller than herself, shook the head apologetically and apologized:

“Martial Aunt Ye, I’m fine. Maybe it’s just I haven’t slept all night, and I’m a little less energetic.”

She forced a smile, and the dizziness in her head was quickly disappearing.

Ye Zhen looked up and down Qi Qiqi with a look of “Why don’t it look like nothing…”, only the complexion pale pretty girl’s face was reflected in the dark and deep eyes.

However, he didn’t pursue it much.

“Just fine.”

It’s really relieved to be able to see that men are not at all. Qi Qiqi laughed and replied “Thank you for your concern.”

“How’s the situation?” She then cut to the topic, her voice seemed to have waves.

“There is no strange change.”

Ye Zhen shook the head, looking at the entire sword mound.

“At least, I can’t tell if someone broke in.”

“At least…” Qi Qiqi was frowned, pinching Qiaomei’s chin and said, “I don’t I think Bai Ze Senior would make such a joke…”

“It makes sense.” Ye Zhen replied briefly.

Next, he looked towards Old Zhang Ming, who is still patrolling the sword mound. That Elderly was carefully exploring any place, fulfilling his responsibilities.

Ye Zhen didn’t want to disturb him, so he walked over. Qi Qiqi followed behind him.

“Vice Palace Lord.”

Noting the approach of the two, Zhang Ming respected the two one after another paid respect. This Elderly has been guarding the sword mound for some time, and he is happy to be so leisurely, but he will never take it lightly.

So, when Qi Qiqi and Ye Zhen came to his station together and told him that someone might have broken into the sword grave, he didn’t even care for breakfast, so he and the two came to explore the sword grave. Up.

As for the Heavenly Jade Palace, he is the one who knows the sword tomb most.

“Zhang Elder, how is the situation?” This time I changed to Ye Zhen and asked.

“I have checked it carefully, and found nothing wrong. The number of swords is the same as the record, without any loss, unlike someone who has broken in…”

p>

Ye Zhen gave a heavy “en.” and turned to look at Qi Qiqi on the side. The latter tightened his eyebrows, with a troubled expression, and swayed with the wind, dragging a shaky shadow on her face.

She does not think that Bai Ze will create something from nothing.

However, at this stage, none of them have found any abnormalities in the sword mound.

“Martial Uncle, do you think there will be such a probability… the other party broke in, but has not had time to act?”

Qi Qiqi asked hesitantly, looking diagonally From bottom to top, he glanced at Ye Zhen.

“Hmm…” Ye Zhen’s indifferent expression is probably impossible to determine.

“If this is the case, the culprit may still be hiding in the sword tomb.”

Zhang Ming said cautiously, his eyes moved to nowhere as if hooked. In the old wood house in the distance.

There is a small lake next to the wood house, where the spirit stream gushes out. The strong Spiritual Qi contained in the spirit stream can interfere with the perception of martial artists. If someone is hiding in the sword mound, that wood house is most likely his first choice.

Furthermore, the sword mound is almost endless, and there are cliffs everywhere, and the places to hide are very limited.

However, that is the relic of Qi Return to Origin. Even Ye Zhen and Zhang Ming, who have the right to enter the sword tomb, are not rushing to search the wood house.

They all used their sights to solicit the opinions of Qi Qiqi, the only direct line of Qi Return to Origin.

Generally speaking, Qi Qiqi did not allow any reason, but she still shook her head and rejected their silent proposal. There is a secret of Sue Kirin, and she doesn’t want to arouse the suspicion of the two.

“It may be that Bai Ze Senior made a mistake.”

Just now, she insisted, and Qi Qiqi’s attitude changed at this time.

Zhang Ming looked at Ye Zhen, but the latter was silent.

“Well, I understand.”

Finally, Ye Zhen said this sentence with a sigh.

Qi Qiqi knows what he has noticed, but he didn’t pursue the reason much, probably because it was his consideration.

＊＊

“Huh?”

As soon as I walked out of the sword mound, I saw the silhouette that seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

For the convenience of guarding the sword tomb nearby, Zhang Ming’s residence-that small courtyard-was built at the entrance to the narrow road to the sword tomb, and as a way to spend his days leisurely There is a table outside the courtyard, which has the atmosphere of a small post on the official road.

And Xia Xue sat beside this table, drinking tea that Zhang Ming would prepare every day.

She seems very leisurely.

Qi Qiqi and Ye Zhen looked at each other.

They all understand that Xia Xue will not really come to Zhang Ming here to disturb him. She should come here specifically because of something important, but it is not known which of their three people is related to this matter. Qi Qiqi was about to approached, and when she asked her why, the other party stood up first. The smiling gaze of the short-haired girl fixed her eyes on Qi Qiqi, and it was obvious that she had something to discuss with her.

“Martial Aunt Ye.”

Xia Xue reluctantly greeted Ye Zhen first, and the latter also responded with a cold hum. Even though the relationship between the two men has eased, a sense of repulsion derived from the confrontation that has accumulated over time still exists.

“Qi’er, if there is nothing else, I will take a step forward.”

Leaving the sentence behind, Ye Zhen quickly left the scene. The feeling of wanting to escape here.

With his identity and strength, there is probably no need to show weakness in front of Xia Xue, but he knows that conflicts are easy to occur between himself and the other party, and his departure is to avoid this unnecessary occurrence. conflict.

However, before he walked a few steps, Xia Xue shouted to keep him:

“Martial Aunt Ye, this matter is also related to you. If possible, please Take some time to join.”

Ye Zhen stopped and turned his head silently.

Xia Xue glanced at him.

The man turned around after thinking about it and walked back, but instead of coming over, he turned to the table and closed his eyes on the trunk of a big tree.

Seeing that the situation is embarrassing, Zhang Ming, who has already ignored the affairs of the faction, also signaled to Qi Qiqi nodded, and then fled into his yard.

Look at Zhang Ming on the left and Ye Zhen on the right. Qi Qiqi finally sighed.

“Xia elder sister, can you and Martial Aunt Ye keep being like this…really, you have to think about it for the disciplines. What will happen to them when they see you being at odds all day long? Think about it?”

The second in command of Heavenly Jade Palace and the third in command of Heavenly Jade Palace showed an attitude of incompatible as fire and water every time they met. As the lord of Heavenly Jade Palace, Qi Qiqi no matter what In public or in private are not welcome.

First, it will affect the efficiency of cooperation, and second, personally, I also want them to live in harmony.

“Hey, my palace lord’s younger sister is still that rigid. It’s better to be careful, you’re an uninteresting woman who may not get married.”

Xia Xue responded to Qi Qiqi’s complaint with a ridiculous statement, still venomous as always. She wrapped her hair absent-mindedly, as if saying: “I won’t listen to the monk chanting.” Qi Qiqi was a little annoyed.

“It’s not your turn to say it!” She fought back.

Xia Xue is more than twice older than Qi Qiqi, but she is still the “single noble” in Sue Kirin’s words. She is simply not qualified to comment on Qi Qiqi’s marriage major event.

“hmph.” Xia Xue must also understand this, and snort disdainfully about it.

Then, she curled up her lips and said far-reachingly:

“Ye Zhen and I are incompatible with each other in nature. The twisted melon is not sweet. It is completely different from you. There are two concepts.”

“‘You’?”

“Isn’t it you and our stupid little Ancestor Master.”

“… What nonsense are you talking about? I hate it.”

For Xia Xue’s teasing, Qi Qiqi browses knit dissatisfiedly.

“It’s better for you to be careful. I personally don’t object to that kind of taboo love, but you have to be careful with the surname Shui. That guy’s heart is dark. Usually smiles, but you I never know how deep the bad water is behind that smile.”

Xia Xue deepened the smile at the corner of her mouth, and squinted to write a formal warning. Qi Qiqi only listened to the first half of the sentence, her face was beautifully flushed, and she was yelled with shame and anger:

“Xia elder sister!”

It is round and big Eyes rolled around, Xia Xue didn’t have any regrets, and each minding their own business sat in the same position, rounding her round thighs, and shaking her shoes.

Qi Qiqi, who sat down opposite Xia Xue, suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Not only is Ye Zhen not good at coping with Xia Xue, she is also not good at it, but the entire Heavenly Jade palace is able to face Xia Xue calmly, even Li Wanting and not one drop who suppressed her with thick lines. of water can leak out

These two can be called her natural enemies.

Speaking of which, Qi Qiqi still seems to have not found a character that Shui Yuner can’t cope with. She suddenly felt that this girl was a bit terrifying.

As for “the needle is hidden in the cotton flower”, but she seems to have a kind of permeability, can penetrate into any place, and overwhelm the other party silently.

However, this is not the time for random thinking.

“Xia elder sister, are you looking for me for something?”

Don’t want Xia Xue to tease herself anymore, Qi Qiqi cut to the topic wisely. Xia Xue was nodded, but turned his head to aim at Ye Zhen.

“Our wise and martial Vice Palace Lord is really leisurely…you stand so far away, do you want me to speak too loudly? Is it your interest to make things well known?”

She seems to be dissatisfied with Ye Zhen’s move to avoid herself.

Ye Zhen frowned, showing that he was a little unhappy. But this man had a lot of belly fat, and he had no intention of counterattack, he just walked over and sat down silently, conforming to Xia Xue’s meaning.

Xia Xue is only satisfied.

In fact, her behavior like this is very strange-it’s not right, more than strange, it’s just uncharacteristic. In the past, Xia Xue would definitely not be silent. She couldn’t wait for Ye Zhen to go as far as possible, but today she actively asked Ye Zhen to come over, even if she was not good at words.

Qiqiqi is thinking that this may be some kind of release.

What is Xia Xue’s motive, she is not quite clear, but this change should have appeared since Xia Xue came back from Jinling.

──So, what did Kirin do?

Qi Qiqi can only unilaterally think that Xia Xue’s minor changes are due to Sue Kirin.

As if seeing through Qi Qiqi’s thoughts, Xia Xue sneered and knocked on the table, forcing her to look towards herself.

“Palace lord younger sister, you better stop thinking about it, making any misunderstandings will make others laugh.”

Qi Qiqi wanted to refute a few words, but Ye Zhen did. Be the first to blame:

“Xia Elder, pay attention to your wording.”

The scolded Xia Xue gave another sneer and glared at Ye Zhen.

Fearing that the two would quarrel again, Qi Qiqi immediately leaned forward to block between the two. She looked at Xia Xue’s side.

“Xia elder sister, so what? Let’s talk about business.” She made it as natural as possible.

Xia Xue glanced at her, her cautious thoughts have probably been seen through. The short-haired girl then crossed her hands in front of her chest, her shoulder-length curving short hair dangling, her voice filled with sweetness, and she said, “Senior Sister Li came to the housekeeping room early this morning and brought a large sum of silver, more than a sword. The monthly budget of the room. Maybe you don’t know how much work I spent in order to balance my income and expenditure. You know what Sue Kirin is ── our little Ancestor Master plays with the weird things every month How much did it cost? Huh, she said it was for research purposes. Who approved the money?”

Xia Xue originally smiled a little bit, but gradually got away with her words. At the end, some anger was mixed in the voice.

She looked at Ye Zhen on the left and Qi Qiqi on the right, she was extremely dissatisfied.

To operate a huge Heavenly Jade Palace, all aspects of expenses and income are huge.

As the deacon Elder Xia Xuejian manages the warehouse, it is no easy task to keep the revenue and expenditures in order, and the cost plan that was completed with great difficulty is suddenly disrupted by Li Wanting, anyone will be angry.

While thinking about it, Qi Qiqi took half a shot before she realized that she was the culprit.

“Yeah!” She exclaimed, and said with some embarrassment, “That was my approval…”
