Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 240 Five years ago

Yongtai 13 years, spring.

After the spring equinox, it rained continuously.

The rain is gone, the clouds are blooming, and the grass and trees are fragrant.

It was in such a very comfortable season that a handsome and tall young man in fluttering white clothes walked out of Wujian Villa and set foot on the road of Jianghu for the first time.

The boy's name is Xiao Xuan, and he is 20 years old this year.

Xiao Xuan's father...that is, Xiao Zhun, had had entanglements with many women when he was young, but in the end, he still only took a spoonful of the weak water three thousand, and never married any woman again. A concubine; even after his wife died due to dystocia, Xiao Zhun, who was less than thirty at the time, did not think about continuing the marriage. This was actually an incredible thing in those days.

But Xiao Zhun, he is willing.

Also since then, in Xiao Zhun's life, there are only two things left that make him feel important: one is the sword; the other is Xiao Xuan.

Swordsmanship is something that Xiao Zhun has to study. This is the foundation of their Wujian Villa in the martial arts. For the sake of the ancestors of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhun must guard this foundation.

And Xiao Xuan is the only son left to him by Xiao Zhun's love in this life. No matter what, Xiao Zhun also hopes that this son will be successful in the future.

Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention, the "promising" in Xiao Zhun's eyes is obviously different from our understanding...

Generally speaking, in the eyes of most people, in the future, if their children can support themselves, have a decent job, live a less difficult life, and find a partner who is well-matched, they will be considered "promising"; There are more expansive ones, which are nothing more than hoping that their children will become rich, rich, or become high-ranking officials in the future.

But Xiao Zhun is different. He is the owner of Wujian Villa. As his son, his starting point is basically the end point of many people. "Shao Zhuang Zhu of Wujian Villa" has the same martial arts and status.

So according to Xiao Zhun's expectations, even if Xiao Xuan can't be the leader of the martial arts or the number one swordsman in the world in the future, he should at least stick to the foundation and status of Wujian Villa and look down on one side like himself.

As for Xiao Xuan, he is actually quite competitive. As mentioned earlier, his talent is indeed very high, and he has been carefully taught by his father. Therefore, when he was a teenager, Xiao Xuan could easily defeat many famous masters in the village. up.

Therefore, in the year when Xiao Xuan became an adult, Xiao Zhun finally decided to let his son go down the mountain to experience himself.

Of course... Everyone knows Xiao Zhuangzhu's character, he must have sent someone to secretly follow and protect this son, otherwise he couldn't be at ease.

As for Xiao Xuan, he also knows about this, but he doesn't care, just follow and don't get in the way of others.

…………

This 20-year-old Xiao Xuan, can be said to be well-educated, full of ideals, passionate, and jealous.

Although like many young masters who grew up in a greenhouse-like environment, he is inevitably a little ignorant and naive, but fortunately, his martial arts are very high, high enough to pay for his innocence.

In addition, he has the identity of "Young Lord of Wujian Villa" as a talisman, and someone secretly protects him all the time. Therefore, Xiao Xuan has been in the rivers and lakes for more than half a year without encountering any setbacks.

until……

Yongtai 13 years, winter.

This year, a group of bandits appeared on the north bank of the Hutuo River, known as the "Eighteen Evil Temples".

Although many martial arts knights went to encircle and suppress, this group of people relied on being local snakes and familiar with the terrain, so they took advantage of the severe winter when the mountains were covered with snow, and hid in the dense forest of the snow mountain, making it hard to find trace.

Xiao Xuan, who heard the news, went deep into the mountains alone to hunt down the gangsters with the bravery of a young man.

However, when he searched for three days and three nights and finally found the other party, he was exhausted due to hunger and cold.

And at this moment, those people Xiao Zhun sent to secretly protect him also got separated from him in the heavy snow.

But just when Xiao Xuan was besieged by those eighteen evil temples, and his life was hanging by a thread, there was a flute sound, which instantly reversed the situation...

…………

When they left the snow mountain, Xiao Xuan and Wen Yuzhai had become close friends.

These two young talents who are similar in age (Wen Yujie is two years older than Xiao Xuan) and have similar ambitions can be said to hit it off immediately and hate to meet each other later.

After solving the Eighteen Evil Shas, Wen Yuzhai invited Xiao Xuan to be a guest in his thatched cottage, and Xiao Xuan did not refuse.

During the Spring Festival of the second year, Xiao Xuan spent all his time in Wen Yuzhai's thatched cottage. For more than a month, the two of them drank wine and sipped tea in the thatched cottage every day, studied literature and martial arts, and had a great time.

…………

Yongtai 14 years, summer.

Xiao Xuan met a woman.

Yes, there is always such a woman in such a story.

Because if you replace this woman with a man, you may not see this story.

The woman Xiao Xuan met was a bandit and a female bandit leader.

The process of their meeting was very simple. One day Xiao Xuan passed a mountain road and was robbed, so he restrained the other party with his backhand, and found the other person's cottage all the way.

Then, Xiao Xuan met a female village head.

Her name is Kan Xianghan, she is 21 years old, the same age as Xiao Xuan, according to the common sense of Xiao Xuan... she must be considered an older leftover woman.

Kan Xianghan's appearance is very characteristic, according to the current saying, it is called "neutral"; if she is that man, then this appearance should be regarded as a peerless handsome guy, but as a woman, she can be said to be heroic and charming.

The first time Xiao Xuan saw her, he felt that the behavior and demeanor of this female bandit leader were different from that of ordinary women, so he couldn't help becoming interested in her.

The two fought immediately, and Kan Xianghan was naturally not Xiao Xuan's opponent, but Xiao Xuan also saw that the other party was extraordinary in skill and not an ordinary bandit, so he didn't kill her immediately, but asked a few more questions.

Upon questioning, I found out that this Kan Xianghan was originally a small leader of the Five Spirits Sect, but because he couldn't stand some of the sect's behaviors, he apostate and fled.

However, people who are masters of Wulingjiao martial arts are not tolerated by other schools in the Central Plains martial arts. This point can be known by referring to Shen Youran's experience before, so it is impossible for Kan Xianghan to walk recklessly in the rivers and lakes; The mountain is king, and he became a bandit.

Of course, Kan Xianghan is a conscientious kind of bandit, similar to the Niu brothers in the "Golden Foot Village" in the previous article, basically only doing things like robbing the rich and helping the poor and buying travel expenses. Robbing women.

Xiao Xuan's head will be robbed today, naturally because Xiao Xuan is a young master, and he looks like a rich man.

After Xiao Xuan heard it, she felt that this girl...is pretty good.

Although at the time he thought he had feelings for Kan Xianghan mixed with sympathy and admiration, but you judges, you are well-informed. At this moment, Xiao Xuan has fallen in love with her.

There is no reason to talk about this kind of thing. The so-called "heartbeat" feeling is all sudden.

Some people feel it when they meet for the first time, and some people have it after they have known each other for a period of time, at a certain point in time, because of a certain event, it germinates by accident.

Physical and chemical factors such as appearance and hormones are of course undeniable, but it is difficult to quantify the actual process of love between men and women, as well as the success rate. In the final analysis, there are two words-"fate".

It is certain that Xiao Xuan and Kan Xianghan have a "destiny", but is there any "separation"...

…………

Yongtai 14th year, autumn.

Xiao Xuan wanted to take Kan Xianghan back to Wujian Villa to meet his father.

It was a decision that would change his life.

Kan Xianghan was very scared and uneasy. She knew what her origin meant, so she felt that a person like Zhuang Zhuang would not accept a daughter-in-law like her.

But Xiao Xuan felt that his father was a reasonable person, even if he disagreed, he would not do anything against the morality of the world; taking a step back, even if Xiao Zhun wanted to do it, Xiao Xuan would have a way to prevent it.

"If he refuses, I will take you away. I don't need to be the young owner of Wujian Villa, and I will stay with you forever and go far away."

This was Xiao Xuan's sincere words, and Kan Xianghan naturally believed him, so she agreed to go back with him.

…………

A month later, Xiao Xuan returned to Wujian Villa with a dozen or so people.

Except for Kan Xianghan, the others were all friends he had met in the Jianghu over the past year.

Among them, there are many decent high-level officials, big disciples, and famous heroes.

Of course... Wen Yuzhai was among them.

Xiao Xuan felt that with these people present, Yu Gong could ensure Kan Xianghan's safety, and Yu privately could also say a few good words for the two of them.

Just like that, they came before Xiao Zhun...

Xiao Zhun 20 years ago might have done the same stupid thing for his beloved woman.

But when things happened to his son, even if Xiao Zhun could understand his son, he would not allow Xiao Xuan to marry a woman who was "born in the Demon Cult".

He was very sure that this was for the good of Xiao Xuan and Wujian Villa, and even for Kan Xianghan, this was a correct decision.

Maybe...he was right.

If he really agreed to this marriage, then after a few years, Xiao Xuan and Wujian Villa are likely to encounter various problems because of Kan Xianghan's background, and even lead to the disaster of destroying their family and family.

This world is like this, as long as there is a little bit of criticism and slander in you, it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen, if something happens... someone will hold on to it until you cut your stomach open and show him how much it is. Bowl of flour.

So when Xiao Xuan brought Kan Xianghan in front of Xiao Zhun, Xiao Zhun's attitude was very firm, no matter what.

But Xiao Xuan's attitude...is also very firm.

Therefore, Xiao Zhun adopted the tactic of delaying the attack and asked them to stay in the village first, allowing him to think twice.

…………

Xiao Zhun may be able to fool others temporarily, but he cannot fool Wen Yujie.

That night, Wen Yujie found Xiao Xuan and told him to run away immediately and overnight with Kan Xianghan, never to come back again.

However... His warning was still one step too late.

When he and Xiao Xuan came to Kan Xianghan's room, they were no longer there.

…………

When Xiao Xuan and Wen Yujie found Kan Xianghan, she had already fallen into a pool of blood and became a corpse.

Xiao Zhun was standing beside the corpse, the blade in his hand was still dripping with blood.

With Xiao Zhun's martial arts, if he wanted to kill Kan Xianghan, he could kill him instantly without blood on his sword.

But right now...he didn't choose this method.

Instead, he chose to stab the sword into the opponent's abdomen in front of the opponent, slowly cut through the opponent's intestines, and then drew the sword out, causing death.

And when he committed the crime, he also called all the other "friends" invited by Xiao Xuan except Wen Yuzhai to watch him do it together.

"You...why...why!" Xiao Xuan collapsed, he knelt in front of the corpse, tears streaming down his face, and his address to his father changed from "father" to "you".

In fact, the answer to his question, Wen Yujie can also answer for Xiao Zhun - as long as this woman is still alive, Xiao Xuan can't give up on her, but Xiao Zhun can't allow them to be together, so she must die.

Of course, Xiao Zhun wouldn't answer that way. His words were: "The witch from the Demon Sect sneaked into the villa, trying to seduce the old man and take my sword, so I killed him on the spot..."

"You fart!" Xiao Xuan stared at his blood-red eyes and cursed angrily.

"You don't believe it?" Xiao Zhun said coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone present, they have seen it all."

When Xiao Xuan heard the words, he turned his head suddenly, glared and left.

But what met him was a pair of eyes that were either flickering and avoiding, or indifferent and calm...

"Yes, I saw that too."

"Yes, I saw it below."

"What Master Xiao said is true."

"Brother Xiao, your father is also doing it for your own good. This witch is really a slut who can do her best. I saw her seduce your father with my own eyes. What else did I say... As long as I can enter Wujian Villa, which one of you father and son will marry?" it's the same."

These people who were originally regarded as friends by Xiao Xuan, these so-called decent people and heroes... At this moment, they are all saying these words that obviously distort the facts, which makes Xiao Xuan who is already grief-stricken and furious even more furious.

"Nonsense! I'll kill you!" Xiao Xuan immediately drew his sword and rushed towards the group of people.

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Zhun yelled angrily, and was about to stop him, but unexpectedly...

Snapped--

Wen Yuchao, who was standing closest to Xiao Xuan, suddenly took the lead and attacked Xiao Xuan from the side and rear.

Xiao Xuan originally thought that among the people present, there was at least one true friend, Wen Yujie, who was on his side, and he would not defend against him...

How could he have imagined that it was the person he trusted the most, who raised his hand at this moment and hit his Jianjing point with a palm, and while he was dizzy, he took two more moves to push him to the ground.

"Brother Xiao, the facts are clear. I know it's hard for you to accept, but I advise you to listen to your father and don't make the same mistakes again and again..." Wen Yujie said after suppressing Xiao Xuan.

With Wen Yuzhao's resourcefulness and city power, he naturally knew that at this moment, except for him and Xiao Xuan, everyone else present had been bribed by Xiao Zhun in some way...they might even be in the Xiao Xuan was bought before he promised to come to the villa.

And why didn't Xiao Zhun come to buy him Wen Yuzhao?It's very simple, because Xiao Zhun is also very clear that Wen Yujie is not a person who will succumb to coercion and temptation, and coming to him will only startle the snake.

Right now, Xiao Zhun has so many "witnesses" present, even if Wen Yuzhao stands on Xiao Xuan's side and argues hard, it is impossible to argue against the other party... Even if he does, he still cannot defeat him.

Besides... so what?Everyone was already dead, even if Xiao Xuan and Wen Yuzhao could kill all these people present today, Kan Xianghan would not be able to come back from the dead.

To sum up, for the sake of his friend, Wen Yujie chose an approach that might cause him to lose this friendship but minimize the damage.

Of course, he wasn't just for friends—in fact, during this period, Wen Yujie had already arranged for Gu Rong to be an undercover agent in Wujian Villa for two years; But the other party needs to wait for a suitable time, and he made friends with Xiao Xuan before, which was also intentional, but after actually making friends, Wen Yujie found that Xiao Xuan was different from Xiao Zhun, he was a person who could make friends, and Really consider him a friend.

"You...even you..." Seeing his most trusted friend do such a thing, Xiao Xuan despaired.

Haruki Murakami once said: "I always thought that people grow old slowly, but it's not. People grow old in an instant."

Xiao Xuan at this time is roughly experiencing this moment.

On this day, he despaired of those so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes, despaired of friendship, and despaired of his father.

As for "love", he had already buried it in the soil along with his heart.

…………

The day after that incident happened, Wen Yuzhai left Wujian Villa.

The others stayed for an extra day, presumably to claim the benefits that Xiao Zhun had promised them in advance.

Xiao Xuan was put under house arrest by his father.

Some say he's crazy, maybe...

Xiao Zhun felt that time would heal everything, and his son would recover sooner or later, even if Xiao Xuan never forgave himself, it didn't matter, he would still leave everything to Xiao Xuan after his death.

He also felt: One day, when Xiao Xuan came to his position, he would eventually understand him, even if he was no longer there at that time, it didn't matter.

…………

About half a month later, one day, when the servants brought food to Xiao Xuan, they found him lying on the bed with his face covered in blood, holding a fragment of the plate from the previous meal in his hand.

When the servants saw the young owner "suicide", they rushed out of the door in fright, and hurried to inform the owner, but when Xiao Zhun came with the doctor from the village, Xiao Xuan had already knocked out when the guards were not paying attention The other party fled.

Because Xiao Xuan himself cut the nerve on his face and did not heal it in time, from then on, his originally handsome face turned into a weird and stiff smiling face.

He himself has also changed from the innocent and straightforward Xiao Xuan, the owner of the young village, to the unrestrained villain Xiao Wuji...

…………

Looking at the sword demon Xiao Zhun in front of him, all kinds of memories flooded Xiao Wuji's heart.

When he was young, he only knew Xiao Zhun's kindness as a father.

When he was a teenager, he was taught by him as a teacher.

But when he was an adult, he met a completely different father, a cruel, deep-rooted, and unscrupulous gangster.

Xiao Wuji used to be very proud of his name and identity, but after seeing his father's true face and acting skills, he began to be afraid... because he realized belatedly that when he was 20 years old, Behind his glamorous trip to the rivers and lakes, there is too much filth and blood that he has never seen before.

Why would others be intimidated by his title of young master?How many things did the man sent by his father to follow him secretly do that he didn't know?There are so many so-called upright and righteous men in the arena... How many of them are really "good people"?
Xiao Wuji may not be able to know these answers in his whole life. He only knows that now, facing Xiao Zhun who has turned into a sword demon, he may be the key to victory...

At this moment, I saw his left sword and right saber, sitting at the eye of Qijue formation, leading the formation.

Using it as a fulcrum, the speed and power of the four swords and three knives...as if they were integrated into one, Qi Qi attacked Xiao Zhun.
