Chapter 736

In Zhang Xiaohua's mind, the Fragrance Cult must have placed Ou Yan in a secluded hut when they brought her to Shixin Peak. Why would they worry about her?

However, looking at the huge courtyard behind the Shixin Peak, which was not inferior to the Misty Hall, Zhang Xiaohua realized that he was too narrow-minded. He did not have the generous temperament and extravagance of the Fragrant Cult's Hierarch. However, when he came out of the ground and flashed to a corner of the brightly lit courtyard, he was stunned on the spot. [This … isn't it the same as the courtyard where Ou Yan used to discuss matters in the Huan Xi Manor?]

Zhang Xiaohua had stayed in Huan Xi Mountain Villa for a long time, but he rarely went to the inner courtyard where Ou Yan lived. He had only seen the hall, so he had a deep impression of it. At this time, when he saw the trees, flowers, and other arrangements in the courtyard, he found that they were exactly the same as his impression. If it weren't for the fact that the trunk of the huge tree on the left side of the courtyard didn't have the trace of his Chasing Dream, he would have thought that everything in the courtyard was moved from Huan Xi Mountain Villa!

"Tut, tut," Zhang Xiaohua smacked his dry lips and said to himself, "My goodness, I was wondering why so many people pursue power. This thing seems to be more useful than gold. If you ask me to spend money to build a courtyard that is exactly the same as Huan Xi Mountain Villa, I won't do it. A futon is enough. But the Hierarch just touched his lips and the courtyard became exactly the same. It's really … Alas, I don't know what to say."

"Hee hee, when Second Brother does something, will he also make the Misty Hall like Guozhuang House?

Well, at the very least, he will build a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain for me, just like my home! "

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to understand the role of power and gradually began to look down on gold and silver!

As the saying goes, the change of one's thoughts and the improvement of one's qualities only increase in the slightest.

Zhang Xiaohua looked around the courtyard and then flew to the top of the huge tree with ease. He squinted his eyes and looked into the hall.

At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, but there were only a few servants inside. They looked respectful and submissive. On one of the chairs in the hall sat an old man with a head full of silver hair. He was holding a teacup in his right hand and twirling it mindlessly. His eyes were looking at the ground, ignoring the teacup that wouldn't fall out of his hand no matter how hard he twirled it. His left sleeve was empty, casually tucked at his waist. Wasn't this Elder Yu, who taught Zhang Xiaohua the Nameless Sword Art?

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Elder Yu's straight back and couldn't help but smile. This kind of old man who had been through storms in the pugilistic world was the most resilient. Huan Xi Mountain Villa had encountered so many things, but it didn't affect him in the slightest.

At this time, a woman walked in slowly from a corner of the courtyard. Her footsteps were slightly heavy and didn't seem to be someone who practiced martial arts. Zhang Xiaohua was even more delighted when he saw her. Under the light, the woman was close to thirty years old. Her mature face was slightly plump, and her eyes were slightly tired. There were also some fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and there was a glow on her fair forehead. Wasn't she Qiu Tong, whom he hadn't seen for many years?

If it was said that Zhang Xiaohua came to the back mountain of Shixin Peak to visit Ou Yan, it would be more accurate to say that he was here to visit Qiu Tong. When Zhang Xiaohua came to Ping Yang City from the Guozhuang House, the first woman he met was Qiu Tong. Qiu Tong had selflessly taken on the responsibility of an elder sister. Not only did she bring Zhang Xiaohua to Huan Xi Mountain Villa, she had also helped him a lot in the villa. Most importantly, she had filled the void in Zhang Xiaohua's heart after he left his sister-in-law and mother. Therefore, other than kinship, Qiu Tong was really Zhang Xiaohua's Liu Qian.

Now that he saw that Qiu Tong hadn't changed much from his impression of her, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was instantly filled with joy when he saw that Qiu Tong hadn't changed much. There were only traces of age and a mature charm.

When Qiu Tong walked into the main hall, Elder Yu had already heard her footsteps and quickly stood up to welcome her. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the sadness in Qiu Tong's eyes and stopped. However, he was still a little unwilling and asked softly, "Young … Young Mistress, how is she?"

Qiu Tong sighed and didn't reply immediately. She looked at the servants in the hall and waved her hand. "All of you are dismissed."

Those people all bowed and quietly walked down.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua had already reached the roof. When he saw Qiu Tong through his divine perception, he laughed in his heart. "Elder Sister Qiu Tong has the aura of a master. Back then, she was also like a servant. She wasn't as magnanimous as she is now!"

Gosh ~ Zhang Xiaohua actually knew how to criticize other people's aura. Furthermore, it was from a condescending point of view. Was … was this still the same country bumpkin that Qiu Tong had met back then?

Seeing that everyone had left, Qiu Tong sat down dejectedly. She pinched the bridge of her nose between her eyes and rubbed it a few times. She smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Yu, Young Mistress was awake for a while just now. She seemed to be in high spirits and wanted to eat some snacks from Pingyang City. We just sent some over, but she only ate a little before she fell into a trance again. She didn't recognize anyone and looked like she was in a daze. Now that she had taken some medicine, she fell asleep again."

"Sigh, how long has it been? The doctors from Lingering Fragrance Peak have also been here. Why can't they see the reason?

What method did they use? They tried all kinds of medicine. They even took quite a number of elixirs from Lingering Fragrance Peak. Why can't they see any effect? "

"It's fine if she's just falling asleep. However, Young Mistress's spirit is getting weaker and weaker. Even … the doctors from Lingering Fragrance Peak said that if this continues, Young Mistress may … may never wake up again."

Qiu Tong said sadly. However, there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She had served Ou Yan since she was young. Although they were master and servant, they were sisters. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed Ou Yan to the Lingering Fragrance Sect to suffer.

Now that she saw that Ou Yan was dying, how could she not be sad?

Elder Yu frowned. He slammed the table with his right hand, causing the teacup to fall to the ground. He shouted, "Isn't it obvious?

It must be those old ladies from Lingering Fragrance Peak. Other than them, who else would make things difficult for Young Mistress?

I already said that I would go to Lingering Fragrance Peak to reason with them. However, you just had to stop me. Now, we don't even know if Young Mistress is dead or alive. Who can we reason with? "

Qiu Tong got up and walked over. She bent down to pick up the teacup that had fallen to the ground and placed it gently on the table. Elder Yu was a little embarrassed. He said, "Qiu Tong, let the servants do this."

Qiu Tong shook her head and said softly, "Elder Yu, I'm Young Mistress's servant. If I don't do this, who will do it?"

Elder Yu stomped his feet. He was angry, but he couldn't vent it. He sat back down in his chair.

Qiu Tong looked at Elder Yu and said softly, "Elder Yu, what you said doesn't have any basis. Although I have the same suspicions, there's no proof. Lingering Fragrance Peak won't admit it."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Moreover, if Lingering Fragrance Peak wants to kill Young Mistress, they don't have to go through so much trouble. They only need to send an inner sect expert to point at her. Not to mention Young Mistress, even Elder Yu wouldn't be able to resist!"

"Sigh," Elder Yu sighed and said dejectedly, "What you said makes sense. This old man has roamed the Jianghu for decades and always felt that I have seen countless heroes. I know the depths of the Jianghu. Even when I came to Huan Xi Manor, this old man also underestimated the people from the Misty School. I only felt that I was standing at a certain level of martial arts and looked at everyone as normal. When this old man followed Young Mistress to Lingering Fragrance Peak, I thought that with my martial arts, I would be able to protect Young Mistress. However … when I came here, I realized that when Lingering Fragrance Peak destroyed the Misty School that day, they only used outer sect disciples and a few inner sect male disciples. Not a single elite inner sect female disciple went!"

"It was only after I unintentionally witnessed the inner sect disciple's martial arts that this old man realized that there is always someone better than you. This old man's martial arts … are really not up to their standards. What protection is there to talk about?"

"Elder Yu, you don't have to feel inferior. The circumstances of the inner sect disciples are different from yours. If you were to have such a fortuitous encounter, you would definitely be stronger than them."

"Lass, you don't know this, but the path of martial arts is about 'fate'. This fate is also an extremely important thing. There are countless people with extraordinary talents in this world, but how many of them can be discovered by others? How many of them can enter the ranks of martial arts? And out of these people, how many of them can meet a master, a suitable inner sect cultivation method, a suitable sword technique, or a suitable weapon?

… "

When it came to martial arts, Elder Yu had a lot to say. Qiu Tong didn't disturb him and only sat at the side to listen quietly. Zhang Xiaohua leaned over the roof and laughed in her heart. "It's said that when people get old, they like to reminisce about their past achievements. It seems like Elder Yu is no exception!"

After talking for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Elder Yu said, "This old man was also lucky and obtained the nameless sword technique by chance. It was from that sword technique that I was enlightened and understood the true essence of sword techniques …"

As he said that, he seemed to be thirsty and reached out to grab his teacup. Only then did he realize that the teacup had been broken by him. He stopped and realized that he had said too much.

He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I said too much, I said too much."

Qiu Tong pursed her lips and smiled. She poured tea into a teacup and handed it to Elder Yu. She said, "Since Elder Yu knows that the inner sect disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak are amazing, it would be easy for them to deal with us. Moreover, Shixin Peak is the territory of Lingering Fragrance Cult. No one in the pugilistic world would know about it. If something happened, they could just say that the young mistress got sick. Why would they need to resort to other methods?"

Elder Yu said, "You're right. If they wanted to do it, they would've done it a few years ago. Why wait until now?

Moreover, the words' Misty School 'no longer exist in the pugilistic world. The young mistress' value is getting smaller and smaller. There's no need for them to do it now! "

Qiu Tong shook her head. "Value is getting smaller?

That's not necessarily true … "
