Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 825 No One Can Take Him Away from Me

The second saint of the Martial Saint Pavilion.

The flower saint Hua shed tears; the sword saint Huo Qiu Shui.

These were all Bai Yu's acquaintances, after all, he had met them before.

Daxia is in the East, and the political wisdom that has been passed down in the East can never avoid the words of infighting and party struggles... This can be said to be a bad habit, but it can also be said to be a way to maintain internal competition and keep it vibrant.

As bad as the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty.

Even in today's Daxia, there are different positions and parties in the canonization of saints.

The largest canonization faction in Daxia is the Martial Saint Pavilion, which is composed of four Martial Saints.

Although the canonization does not interfere with the operation of the Ten Departments of Daxia on the surface, the Martial Saint Pavilion has always been the highest decision-making body of the Divine Martial Department. Without the approval of the Martial Saint Pavilion, many things cannot be carried out.

Bai Yu broke up the Sixiang Hall and established the Shen Ce Mansion without the consent of the Wusheng Pavilion. This was because he established a special agency to supervise all levels of the Shenwu Department, and obtained permission directly from Zhonghu, thus skipping the decision of the Wusheng Pavilion.

Among the ten departments of Daxia, the Shenwu Department is of great importance, and it can directly exert influence on the group of extraordinary people.

Therefore, the existence of the Martial Saint Pavilion can be fully understood as the ruling party of Daxia in the supernatural world.

Naturally, the Martial Saints are not so obsessed with power, but are more focused on improving their realm. Usually, most of the power of the Martial Saint Pavilion will be delegated to the disciples directly taught by the Martial Saint Pavilion. This has led to the formation of nepotism among the disciples of the Martial Saints, and the longer a Martial Saint lives, the deeper the nepotism he brings.

This is the fundamental reason why Bai Yu established the Shen Ce Mansion to check and balance the Wu Sheng Pavilion.

In other words, what Bai Yu wants to check and balance is not the Wusheng Pavilion, but the chain of interests extending from the Wusheng Pavilion. Since the saints are unable to make up their minds to cut it off, they can only create a new system and let themselves be the bad guy.

I said all of the above to prove a point.

That is - Bai Yu, as the Lord of Shen Ce Palace, is a high-ranking official of Shen Wu Si. In theory, he is directly under the jurisdiction of Zhonghu and is on the same level as Wu Sheng Pavilion... but in reality, he is regarded as a faction of Wu Sheng Pavilion.

Thinking about it this way, the arrival of Hua Jianlei and Huo Qiu Shui is not surprising.

"I was thinking about what to say when we met, but I didn't expect..."

Hua Jianlei's appearance at this time is not that of a loli, but a tall mature woman. She looks pure and lustful, tall and proud, giving people a strong desire to conquer.

She pulled her sunglasses down her nose slightly, bent down and glanced at the two of them: "Are you really in love?"

"Ahem." Bai Yu coughed, "That's not the case."

"Really? But the way she looks at you is so sexy." Hua Jianlei put her hands on her waist and said in amazement: "Wearing couple outfits, sitting on the same chair, and feeding each other drinks... This is not considered a relationship. Are you playing a love brain war?"

"Do you have time to care about my love life?"

"No, I don't care about these things, nor do I really care what will happen if you mess up your balls by playing with multiple boats." Hua Jianlei pushed up her sunglasses: "I just came here to solve a problem that may arise in the future."

Huang Qixia asked, "Are you here to deal with me?"

"No, I'm not interested in your head." Hua Jianlei pointed her finger at Bai Yu: "I'm here to take him back, you shouldn't..."

The word "mind" was not uttered.

Huang Qixia had already stood up, with a true red flame shining deep in her eyes, releasing an astonishing force.

"Well, it seems that you mind it." Hua Jianlei tapped her lips with her finger: "Do you think that this elder sister of mine has disturbed your date and snatched away the person you like?"

"No one can take him away from me." Huang Qixia repeated word by word: "No one."

"Heh..." Hua Jianlei was amused by this and laughed out loud: "Interesting joke."

The next moment, a saintly-level pressure descended from the sky. The entire riverside pedestrian street was deserted of pedestrians. The huge sense of oppression made the grass and trees bow their heads, and cracks appeared in the cement where the seats touched the ground.

What a strong spiritual pressure, this level seems to be on the same level as that of the Mad Owl... As expected, the rankings outside the top three of the top ten and the ten fiercest are not related to strength.

"Huang Qixia, you are in a difficult situation now, so stop teasing me... You should think about how to survive the Archer instead of competing with my lovely little apprentice for a man."

The Flower Saint’s disciple is Mu Yaoxi.

Bai Yu felt that the appearance of the two canonized saints here was not a coincidence, so he asked, "Did Mu Yaoxi invite you here?"

“We came to the same conclusion.”

Sitting on the chair, Huo Qiu Shui, who had his eyes closed, opened them. It is said that he looks very old... His oldness is not the kind of withered and decayed oldness, but the kind of oldness that becomes stronger with age. With both hands on the curved cane, he does not show any signs of being old at all. Just his pair of eyes are so sharp that people dare not look into his eyes.

"If you continue to stay with Huang Qixia, you will die."

"And you can't die. If you die it will be a huge loss."

"So we judged that you should be taken back to the capital."

Bai Yu crossed his arms and said, "So your decision is to ensure my safety and ignore Huang Qixia?"

"Her life is her own. Huang Qixia does not belong to any faction, so naturally no one will protect her safety." Huo Qiu Shui said indifferently.

"I can resign." Bai Yu said calmly, "I don't have to be the Lord of Shen Ce Mansion."

"...childish!" The curved crutch in Huo Qiu Shui's hand sank five centimeters into the ground.

"Whether you resign or not is not important. What is important is that you are now highly connected to the Shen Ce Mansion, and you are also regarded as an important publicity target. You now have a pivotal position in Da Xia, and your influence can no longer be diluted."

Hua Jianlei took out a ladies' cigarette from somewhere and clamped it between her index and middle fingers, then handed it to Bai Yu, asking for a light.

Huang Qixia glanced at the cigarette and puffed it... The cigarette was lit, and a faint aroma of tobacco lingered around.

"Also, if the opponent is an ordinary enemy, we would be willing to do you a favor, but this time the opponent is not something you and I can handle." Hua Jianlei took a puff of the cigarette, leaving a purple lipstick mark on the filter: "Think like an adult, okay? Xiao Yujing... now is not the time to be willful."

"I never felt that I was willful or reckless." Bai Yu's tone gradually became low. He didn't like the feeling of being taught a lesson like a student. "I am responsible for my own safety and no one else is involved. I want to protect the people I care about. Do you call this willful?"

"Not considering the responsibilities you shoulder and the positions you take, squandering your life, this is called willfulness!" Huo Qiushui said coldly: "You are not Bai Yu, you are the pride of Da Xia, the Lord of Shen Ce Mansion, Bai Yujing!"

"What a joke." Bai Yu sneered, "Are you starting to use moral blackmail? I know how much effort I have put into the Shen Ce Mansion. Now you are talking about obligations and responsibilities... Has Ren Nanbei and Tai Lingding had this experience?"

Hua Jianlei said with a headache: "It is because they are all unreliable that the Martial Saint Pavilion hopes that you can be the leader of the younger generation..."

"I'm not that type of person." Bai Yu decisively refused: "I'm a lawless person. I'll expose all problems to you."

"But you are still the most suitable one." Hua Jianlei said, "Even if you don't want to bear these responsibilities, you still have to consider your family and friends... Now that the Shen Ce Mansion knows that you are in danger, what do you think Su Ruoli, Tai Lingding, Mu Yaoxi, Ruan Qingxue and others will think? They hope that you can return safely more than anyone else."

"A few days ago, when the news of your disappearance in the middle of winter in the west came, the entire Shen Ce Mansion was devastated."

"Bai Yu, don't underestimate yourself. Your life is very important to many people."

Faced with this sudden gentle tone, Bai Yu's tough attitude softened a little.

As we all know, he always responds to soft tactics rather than hard ones.

"I'm not going to die." Bai Yu stated the facts: "The battle at Phoenix Terrace a few days ago wasn't enough to prove that I have the ability to protect myself? King Xiling even sent me to the ICU."

Huo Qiushui said calmly: "You can stop one of the Ten Evils and the Ten Strong, but can you stop more? Do you think you are a saint?"

Bai Yu said firmly: "I think I am."

Huo Qiu Shui remained silent, but the crutch in his hand sank a few centimeters again.

“Before coming here, we went to Zhonghu.”

"The guy at Zhonghu said that he has reserved a room for you. You can stay there anytime."

Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat, as the words of the cheongsam queen were always binding.

This sentence sounded like a blessing, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

He repeated, "One?"

"one!"

"..."

In other words, there was no place for Huang Qixia. The subtext was clear: if the Black Evil Archer wanted to retaliate against him, the one in Zhonghu could stop him, but this did not include Huang Qixia's life safety.

"I appreciate your kindness." Bai Yu clasped his fists in thanks: "But I can't use it for the time being."

"You have such a stubborn temper." Hua Jianlei was a little disappointed, but not surprised: "But I didn't expect to convince you so easily."

She raised her index finger and pointed it at the silent woman: "Huang Qixia, if you still have some sense of shame, you should let him go now..."

Immediately, Hua Sheng changed his mind and added a condition: "How about this, if you agree to let him leave, I can take the initiative to protect you and send you away from Daxia before Luohou makes a move."

She was answered by a rapidly burning cigarette, which soon burned down to white ash and went out.

Huang Qixia does not accept separation.

Even if Luohou said here, "I won't kill you as long as you separate," she would decisively refuse.

Huo Qiu Shui and Hua Jian Lei had no idea what the essence of the matter was.

Her fate was unchangeable, and she had already accepted it and decided to rebel.

The most painful thing was not the death announced by Luohou, but the loneliness of no one standing with her at dusk even though she was determined to fight against fate.

What they wanted to take away was not Bai Yu, but the miracle she had been waiting for hundreds of years, and the only person who could share her pain and joy.

It was her only fire to keep warm and her only hope against the long night.

Just these meaningless words directed at Hua Jianlei were enough to arouse all of Huang Qixia's anger and vague murderous intent.

Then she held back.

Because her hand was held, she pulled herself out of her angry state, looked at the back of the person standing in front of her, and calmed down a little.

Admittedly, it is not rational to fight with the two Martial Saints at this time, and even if you win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

"So what's next..." Bai Yu asked in a resolute voice, "Are you two really ready to use force?"

"If we fight here, both sides will suffer losses, which will be the most tragic outcome. I believe no one wants to foresee such an outcome."

"Letting us go may not be the best option... but at least it won't be the worst option."

Huo Qiu Shui slowly stood up, folded his hands and pressed them on his crutches. Then a sharp wind blew past, and a crack about ten feet deep appeared in the center of the pedestrian street along the Yellow River, spreading nearly a hundred meters.

When he picked up the crutch again, what appeared in his hand was no longer a crutch, but a knife. The front end of the tip of the knife was curved, narrow in front and wide in the back, with a reverse blade. It was a goose-feather knife, and there was a tiger head engraved on the metal at the end of the knife.

The sword energy rushed towards the stars, as if drawing a white mark on the galaxy.

Huo Qiu Shui turned and walked towards the Yellow River. Stepping on the clear water of the Yellow River, the old man held the knife in his left hand and walked farther and farther until he stood in the center of the Yellow River.

Draw the sword to cut the water and the water will flow even more.

Hua Jianlei also flashed lightly, and in a flash, it appeared in the middle of the Yellow River.

The two saints guard the Yellow River, and you cannot be a pawn crossing the river.

"As long as you can cross the Yellow River, the Martial Saint Pavilion will no longer stop you."

……

at the same time.

The Black Evil Archers on the other side had not yet reached the bank of the Yellow River.

In fact, given their speed, it is not difficult to catch up.

But they were confused along the way and pursued the wrong target.

In the parking lot, arrows shot onto the ground, forming a circle, but the figure standing in the circle did not move at all.

"Bai Yujing, surrender and hand over the evil woman!" a black evil archer shouted in a low voice.

“Wait…” Dijiexing approached and recognized him: “You, you are not him, who are you!”

The figure took off the mask, and with these simple movements, his figure and appearance changed rapidly in a few seconds, from a young man into a graceful young woman.

In the moonlight, the woman took off her hat, and her long black hair fell on her shoulders and back.

"Long time no see." Tao Rusu looked at Dijiexing and smiled playfully: "Have you been looking for my boyfriend for a long time? It's a pity that he is not here."

"Oops, I fell into a trap..."

The Black Evil Archers who had just reacted were about to evacuate when suddenly balls of powder exploded in the parking lot. White mist rose up and enveloped the group of people in an instant.

dong dong dong...

"Young people are in good health and can fall asleep as soon as they lie down." Tao Rusu brushed her hair behind her shoulders and walked out of the parking lot. She glanced at Nan Fang and said, "I hope this can delay some time."

This method can only be used to deceive once. If you use it too many times, it will not work and will also put yourself in danger.

Tao Rusu changed her clothes quickly and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a chill coming from behind.

...Assassin? When did he come?
The assassin hiding in the corner suddenly attacked, and Tao Rusu was inevitably injured. When he was about to raise his arms to defend himself, two rays of residual light shot out from the white mist in the parking lot, instantly killing the two lurking assassins on the spot.

Tao Rusu turned around and saw Dijiexing walking out, brushing off the dust on his clothes, looking completely unharmed.

"How come you're okay? This is a hypnotic powder that can knock out a master."

"I am immune to all poisons." Dijiexing was lying. He just took the Hundred Herb Pill for detoxification in advance, but all his companions fell down.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where the hell did he go?"

"I don't know." Tao Rusu spread his hands: "Do you think I will go with him?"

"I think you will." Dijiexing stared at Tao Rusu: "You will definitely look for him."

"I don't have that much free time." Tao Rusu shook her hands: "I still have to hide from assassins."

Dijiexing said calmly: "If I hold you hostage, maybe he will come back to save you."

"You can try." Tao Rusu said, "Although you can't do it at all."

The two sides were deadlocked for half a minute.

Tao Rusu squatted down to check on the assassin and obtained some supplies. At the same time, she said, "Even if you find him, you can't stop him. You know my boyfriend's temper very well. Once he makes a decision, he won't change his mind."

"He is my friend." Dijiexing said in a low voice, "Even if I have to break his hands and feet, I have to drag him away."

"You can't beat him." Tao Rusu stuck out her tongue.

"We have to fight even if we can't win!" Di Jie Xing asked back, "Since you are his lover, you should consider him! Why don't you go meet him? Why don't you persuade him?"

Tao Rusu put on her hat, her eyes dimmed a little: "I can't even protect myself, and it would be troublesome to meet him. I don't want to expose my embarrassing side to him. If we want to meet again, I must choose a sunny day, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, wearing a white dress, carrying a suitcase, and walking up to him gracefully, hugging him, and telling him that I'm back."

She had imagined such a scene countless times.

Tao Rusu shook her head to get rid of these fantasies, took a deep breath and turned back to ask: "You are a bow master, you should be loyal to your mission. If it is really difficult, you should not help either side."

"He is my friend." Di Jiexing tightly grasped the Black Evil Bow and said with a tired look: "How can I watch him go to seek death?"

Tao Rusu was slightly startled, then said subtly: "Fortunately you are not a woman."

She turned around: "I'm leaving."

Dijiexing said, "I'll find him if I follow you."

"It's up to you." Tao Rusu thought, the destination is the same anyway, everything will be safe as long as we reach Penglai.
