Chapter 427

It was already late at night. The Sorrowless Lake was still rippling in the breeze. The moon was half hidden in the dark clouds, revealing a bit of brilliance. The entire earth was in deep slumber.

At this moment, a black shadow appeared from somewhere. It first quietly crouched on the roof and observed for a moment. Then, it suddenly got up and went to a place like a snake to hide. After a while, it revealed itself again and went straight to the west of the city.

When the black shadow came to the side of a forest beside the Moon Elder Temple, it stopped and opened its mouth. A strange bird cry sounded, and immediately after, there was a response from the forest. After a few breaths, the black shadow flashed into the forest. Inside, there was a thin and tall man who was also dressed in night clothes standing there quietly.

The black shadow that came later was also well-built. However, he was slightly shorter than the man in front. He went forward and bowed, "This humble one greets Lord Jing Zhe."

The black shadow called Jing Zhe waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite. Tomorrow is the last day of the Rejuvenation Valley's joust for a spouse. Are you ready?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Jing Zhe. This humble one has been preparing since I received the order from the sect two months ago. If it wasn't for the fact that I can only go on stage on the last day, this humble one would have already killed everyone."

"Haha," Jing Zhe laughed and said, "I'm relieved that you have such confidence. Letting you go on stage for the joust for a spouse was only a last resort. How could we let you go on stage right away?"

"It seems that the other brothers in the sect didn't succeed, so we had no choice but to use Lord Jing Zhe's plan."

Jing Zhe waved his hand and said, "It's not that I have any foresight. It's just that ever since that girl flashed in Tanhe City, she disappeared without a trace. The entire sect has used countless people, but they still couldn't get any news.

Not long after, news of the joust for a spouse came from the Rejuvenation Valley. All the elders in the sect thought that Old Nie had already taken his daughter back and wanted to use this opportunity to expand their strength. Only our Grand Commander stood his ground and thought that this was just an act by Old Nie to cover up his daughter who had escaped to who knows where. Only then did the sect leader order to send more people to search. "

The twelfth of February said cautiously, "The Grand Commander is truly a god."

"Sigh, although the Grand Commander is a strategist, the distance between Tanhe City and Worry City is so far. There are countless roads that lead to it. We are also not the government, so we can't set up checkpoints to check them one by one. How can we take care of everything?

Even now, it's been several months, and we still haven't found the slightest trace of Miss Nie's whereabouts. Even the grand commander thinks that old man Nie's joust for marriage is real. "

"Heh heh, Grand Commander worries too much. Even if it's true, as long as we obtain the position of son-in-law, won't Rejuvenation Valley still fall into the palms of Grand Commander's hands?"

"On the twelfth of February, you must not be careless. Old Nie's Rejuvenation Valley has many factions of the jianghu keeping a close eye on it. Your talent, appearance, and martial arts are all outstanding among the younger generation, but you must not be careless in the slightest. If you are careless and fail miserably, ruining the Grand Commander's plans, don't blame me for being merciless."

The twelfth of February immediately saluted and said, "This subordinate understands. This subordinate will definitely do his best."

At this point, he opened his mouth again, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped himself. Jing Zhe smiled and said, "I only want you to not be careless and fight for this position with all your strength. I don't know what other methods the Grand Commander has, or what other countermeasures the sect elders have. In any case, as long as you obtain first place, you will certainly have done a great service to the sect. Naturally, you will be rewarded handsomely."

The twelfth of February said in panic, "This subordinate understands. This subordinate dares not have any other thoughts."

Jing Zhe continued, "Old man Nie's joust has been set up for nearly two months. There are many people qualified to compete tomorrow, but we have yet to see Miss Nie's whereabouts. Rejuvenation Valley has also been very strict recently. There has not been the slightest bit of news. It is truly difficult to predict where Miss Nie is."

The twelfth of February also said, "Daren is extremely correct. If she is not in Rejuvenation Valley, then where has this girl run off to?

She actually caused us to suffer a setback. "

Suddenly, the twelfth of February said in astonishment, "Daren, could it be that the girl has already lost her life?"

Jing Zhe smiled and said, "It is extremely possible. However, even if that girl has lost her life, I wonder how Old man Nie's joust will end. You should go up the stage. Old man Nie may conjure up Miss Nie in the end. It doesn't matter who it is. You just need to enter Rejuvenation Valley."

The twelfth of February said, "I will solemnly obey Daren's command.

This Old man Nie is also extremely cunning. The Nie family's third miss has never shown her face. Very few people in the southern wulin have seen her true appearance. If we had not been fortunate enough to obtain this information this time, we might not have known that the extremely ordinary little girl was Rejuvenation Valley's third miss. "

"That's right. No one would have thought that Old man Nie would actually let the third miss, whom no one has ever seen before, handle such an extremely important matter."

"Unfortunately, as the saying goes, 'Virtue is one foot tall, the devil is ten feet tall.' It was the Grand Commander who devised the strategy and played Rejuvenation Valley in the palm of his hand."

"Ai, that's right. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of a martial arts expert, we would have already succeeded.

Forget it, let's not talk about it. You should go back and rest early so that you can win the joust tomorrow and become Rejuvenation Valley's son-in-law. When the time comes, I will still attend your wedding. "

"Yes, when the time comes, this subordinate will definitely personally invite Daren."

"Mm, you can go now."

The twelfth of February bowed in salute and left using his qinggong.

Lord Jing Zhe looked around and then looked at the Moon Elder Temple not far away in the darkness. He sighed and said, "Luxurious places show signs of decline. This Moon Elder Temple was also prosperous for a time in the past. Today, it has declined greatly. Not a single person has offered incense or made a wish. Hehe, why didn't we let the twelfth of February go in and make a wish? I wonder if it is still effective now."

After he finished speaking, he floated away. It was actually a top-notch qinggong. Like a wisp of smoke, he left.

In the Moon Elder Temple, the two animals had already stopped chewing and were standing quietly. The two girls in the bedding were softly snoring and sleeping soundly. The bonfire next to them was also about to burn out, emitting a dark red color.

Zhang Xiaohua, who was behind the Moon Elder Temple, was sitting cross-legged. The energy waves on her body surged endlessly.

At the same time, in the hall of a manor a few dozen li to the west of Sorrow City, a man with dark hair and a beard was in high spirits. It was impossible to tell his age. He was sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall with a worried expression. His brows were furrowed and no one knew what he was thinking.

The reason why it was impossible to tell his age was that the man's hand that was holding the teacup had delicate skin. It was even somewhat fair. His face was also well maintained and looked to be in the prime of his life. However, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, the wrinkles on his forehead, and the vicissitudes of life in his eyes all indicated that this middle-aged man had experienced many years. He was definitely not a middle-aged man.

At this time, from the back of the hall, a girl in her twenties came in. She was dressed like a married woman and her brows were also tightly furrowed. When she saw the man in front of the hall, she hurriedly came over and saluted, "Father, you haven't slept yet?"

The man did not seem to have heard the footsteps of the person who came. When the voice sounded, he turned around in surprise. When he saw the person who came, he sighed slightly and said, "It's Qianrong. Aren't you also not sleeping?

Where's Yan Qi? "

There was a hint of age in his voice.

The woman also forced a smile and said, "Yan Qi played crazily for a day and is already tired. Zhong Lin told him a story at night and he went to bed early."

"You also go to sleep. Father just wants some peace and quiet. It's not a big deal."

"Sigh, father, don't force yourself. Tomorrow is the last day of the marriage contest. Qianyu hasn't appeared yet. I think …"

At this point, she could not continue.

These two people were actually Nie Qianyu's father, Valley Master Nie, and her sister, Nie Qianrong.

Valley Master Nie said miserably, "Although Little Yu's talent is outstanding and she is exceptionally intelligent, but 'extreme intelligence leads to injury'. Her health has not been good since she was young and she is weak and sickly. Fortunately, our Rejuvenation Valley does not have anything else. We have all kinds of immortal herbs and spirit medicines. That's why we raised her until now. Thinking about it, raising her was much more difficult than raising you two sisters."

Nie Qianrong comforted, "Father, don't worry too much. Didn't the fortune-teller tell my sister's fortune before? How can a peaceful fate be so early …"

Valley Master Nie opened his mouth and forced a smile, "The heavens are jealous of beauty. With your sister's talent, even the heavens will be jealous.

Sigh, I was also careless. We allowed her to do such an important thing. "

"My sister has a strong personality. She has always lived in the valley and always wanted to contribute to the valley. That's why she took on this difficult task. However, my sister is right. She has never appeared in front of ordinary people. She is the most suitable person to do this. Father, your decision was not wrong."

"But … but someone found out. I don't know which force has such strength. Not only did they find out the details of Rejuvenation Valley's operation this time, they also found out Little Yu's true appearance and even chased her for thousands of miles."

Nie Qianrong also frowned and said doubtfully, "Yes, this force appeared suddenly. We didn't get any information at all. Even after two months, we still can't find any useful information."

"No matter how mysterious the force is, as long as they want to reach out and get some benefits from Rejuvenation Valley, they will be exposed sooner or later. I'm not worried about this. However, there has been no news of Little Yu for several months. We don't know whether she is alive or not."

"Father, from the other party's reaction, my sister shouldn't have fallen into their hands. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent people to search all the way. Even the people we sent were killed by them."

"Yes, it's because of this that I quickly withdrew my people and held this martial arts competition to show the entire Jianghu that Little Yu has returned to Rejuvenation Valley. We are celebrating for her."

"Father, maybe my sister has something else to do, or she was saved by someone else. With my sister's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for her to hide from the enemy."

"It has been more than two months. If she could come back, she should have come back long ago. I calculated her time and that's why I set the date of the martial arts competition to tomorrow."

"Sigh, there is still a problem. If the winner is decided tomorrow, how will father become my sister out of thin air?"
