Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 901 If we can get wet in the snow together today, we can grow old together in this life (7k4)

Village and town restaurants.

Jin Fugui prepared a whole table of delicious food and wine, saying it was to welcome the guests and at the same time to get rid of the bad luck on his body.

The Ninth Princess is still in a coma and is fine.

Yang Zheng also chose to stay for the time being and wait for her to wake up before making plans.

"Come, come, let me toast to Brother Bai first." Jin Fugui pulled his concubine up and said, "If it weren't for Brother Bai, the two of us would probably not have been able to get out of that devil's cave. We thought it was just to cure the disease, but we didn't expect to almost lose our lives in there."

"What are your plans next?" Bai Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The wine from five hundred years ago was not that strong, only about ten degrees, and tasted rather bitter.

"I plan to continue looking for a doctor. This Hou Moliuming is unreliable and has delayed my time for so many years." Jin Fugui took the initiative to pour wine: "At my age, I still don't have any offspring, which is always a worry. Fortunately, my family is rich. I can look for medicine for another ten years. If it really doesn't work, I can only find a child from my relatives to adopt... It can be regarded as someone to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life."

Huang Qiyun pointed out directly: "If you want him to treat you, just say it directly, why are you beating around the bush?"

Jin Fugui smiled awkwardly.

The cook at the side spoke cautiously: "Please forgive me, Mr. Bai, but my husband saw that you can even cure terminal illnesses like blood poisoning, so he wondered if you could help him too."

Bai Yu didn't waste any words and threw out the big red bottle directly: "I don't know how to treat illnesses, but I have magic medicine. If this can't cure you, then I can't do anything else."

Jin Fugui quickly accepted it, and said gratefully: "Whether it works or not, I, Old Jin, owe you two lives! If anything happens in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Bai Yu picked up the chicken leg and put it in Huang Qiyun's bowl: "If there is something I can't handle, even if you are involved, it will only make the urn a few pounds heavier."

"You'd better not get involved in our affairs." Huang Qiyun said calmly: "You can take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the royal family. With the princess protecting you, at least your family will be worry-free for the next hundred years."

"That's for sure. I, Old Jin, am very good at making friends and building relationships." Jin Fugui nodded repeatedly and then looked at Yang Zheng: "What are your plans next, Lord Yang?"

"First, go to the governor's mansion and tell him what happened in recent days. Then have him submit a memorial to His Majesty, post a notice, and make it known to the world, so that the victims of the bloody clothes case can rest in peace and Miss Huang can be cleared of all charges."

Huang Qiyun took a bite of the chicken leg, glanced at the little cook picking up some food for Jin Fugui, then glanced at her own full bowl of food with a subtle expression. She immediately realized the difference between herself and ordinary women, so she didn't pay any attention to what Yang Zheng said.

After finding the real murderer and giving herself peace of mind, she no longer cared so much about her so-called innocent reputation.

Jin Fugui took a sip of wine and asked again: "Then what? Go back to the capital directly?"

Yang Diaosi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we have to go to Dongdu. The Queen's family is in Dongdu. Your Highness originally planned to go back to visit her family. He didn't go before because he was not feeling well. Now that he has recovered from his illness, he should go and see her anyway... Where are Master Bai and Miss Huang planning to go?"

"I'm wandering around the world, with no fixed place to stay." Bai Yu answered casually: "Then I'll wander around."

"You two are extremely powerful. Do you have any intention of serving the court?" Yang Zheng asked tentatively: "Based on your contribution this time, it is definitely more than enough for you to be granted a title of nobility."

"Not interested." Huang Qiyun shook his head.

"Me too."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "As a person, I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals."

"What a great saying, I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals!" Jin Fugui praised: "Brother Bai is so talented, he can speak like the moon and the clouds, he is a scholar, but he is not pedantic at all! He is quick-witted and can uncover the truth of the blood-stained clothes case. He has such a high level of cultivation, and he is also handsome and elegant! He is truly an immortal!"

He was a little drunk and gave a thumbs up. "I, Old Jin, have met many young talents and outstanding people in my life, but compared with Brother Bai, they are nothing like heaven and earth! But how could someone like Brother Bai remain unknown until now? I really can't understand it. How can a great man hide in the city but never see a true dragon?"

"Even if you praise me, I won't give you another red bottle." Bai Yu picked up the wine glass: "One goes."

The few of them had shared life and death together, so they put aside their airs and drank happily.

Yang Zheng, who always had a serious expression, also looked a little tipsy and relaxed.

"But with the death of the spear master... Daxia's martial arts world has lost another leader. The fight for the title will surely bring about a bloody storm."

"What's the point of being the spear leader?" Yang Zheng said, "There are always people who are better than you. I am also a person who only sees the world from a well. From now on, I will not slack off in my cultivation... Besides, the replacement of the leader is the same as the succession of generations in the martial arts world. As long as he is still in the position of the leader of the Ten Leaders, there will be no chaos."

"Him?" Bai Yu asked, "Who?"

"Martial Immortal, King Axe." Yang Diaosi exhaled a breath of alcohol, "His title is Axe Champion, the leader of the Ten Champions, but he used an axe when he was young. Since he turned sixty, no one can force him to pick up a weapon, even in a martial arts competition."

"It is said that there is a martial immortal in the martial arts world of Daxia, just like the prison king in the Locking Demon Tower and the Dinghai Magic Needle in the Eye of the Sea... No matter whether it is ghosts or monsters, they cannot escape his suppression and control."

"As long as the best person in the martial arts world is watching, there will be no chaos in the martial arts world."

"Now that the spear master is dead, if anyone in the world wants to seize the title of spear master, they will have to go to the fiefdom ruled by Wuxian in the end."

"Tell me in detail." Bai Yu really didn't know much about the martial arts world five hundred years ago.

Huang Qiyun took the initiative to speak. She had been in the martial arts world for some time and had heard of the stories of the Ten Best Martial Artists.

"Wang Fuyue is a martial immortal, and the court recognized him, so he was even granted a fiefdom in his hometown... That place was not originally a paradise for immortals, and was even considered a remote and poor place. However, after it became his fiefdom, after decades of construction, a city was built. This city is called Gelu City."

"What a great Gelu City." Bai Yu said, "If it is changed to Zhulu City, I don't know what the officials and the emperor would think."

Yang Diaosi laughed and said, "How could the emperor be against Wu Xian? This plaque of Gelu City was made by the late emperor. The late emperor once climbed the city wall hand in hand with Wu Xian and said with a smile - you get the rivers and lakes, I get the world, we share this country together."

"It's quite a big belly."

"After all, Wang Fuyue has been watching over the martial artists in the martial arts world for so many years, forcing many martial artists to not break the rules and commit crimes. There is even no such thing as the devil anymore." Jin Fugui said with emotion, "So with this Axe Immortal here, the martial arts world in Daxia will not be in chaos."

Thinking about it this way, the period when Wang Fuyue was the leader of the martial arts world was indeed the most prosperous moment in the history of Daxia, and it was also the last glory.

The Jianghu is also a place where rules are followed. If there is no strong dragon to suppress everyone, then these people will set up their own factions and it will become a scenario of heroes fighting for supremacy.

Whether it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in an era without unification, there would definitely be countless people whose lives and deaths were not in their own hands, because without the constraints of rules and regulations, killing was not a big deal.

The era of martial arts with the immortal martial artist is a unified and prosperous era, but without him, it is a chaotic era... In order to maintain their status in the martial arts world, the old masters who do not abide by the rules and have no martial ethics will not be too caring towards the younger generation. Otherwise, the martial arts world will enter an era of clan separatism, with some gaining ground while others decline, and each becoming the king of their own territory... In the end, traveling in the martial arts world depends on the sect and surname, and the grassroots people will continue to be exploited.

An extreme case is the mad owl Lu Shuihu, who was a member of the Cao Gang and was born two or three hundred years later.

After the banquet.

After saying goodbye, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Bai Yu got rid of the smell of alcohol and took a walk side by side with Huang Qiyun.

"You are now innocent. When do you plan to go back to Phoenix Terrace?"

"Are you looking forward to my going back now?" Huang Qiyun asked.

"That's not the case." Bai Yu shook his head: "It's just that according to your personality, you should go back and make sarcastic remarks to Huang Yanxia."

"Yes, you know me very well." Huang Qiyun shook the letter in his hand: "I have already written a letter. By the time it is delivered to Phoenix Tower, the government will have announced the truth of the blood-stained clothes case to the world."

"It's true that he doesn't show mercy when he's in a powerful position." Bai Yu sighed, "Only villains and women are hard to mess with."

Huang Qiyun stood on the small bridge, looking at the gurgling water below, and asked, "Where do you want to go next?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Bai Yu leaned over the railing and looked into the distance: "Daxia is big, but it's not so vast and boundless. I've seen too many landscapes, but they're all the same and boring. If there's anything I never get tired of, it's the breeze, the bright moon... and you."

A gentle smile, not to mention charming thousands of girls, at least in this era it can easily attract 90% of men, women, young and old.

But this time, Huang Qiyun didn't fall for it. She didn't blush, but raised her eyebrows slightly: "You are always talking sweet words. You are very good at deceiving girls."

"I swear to God, five hundred years ago, I have only said this to you." Bai Yu thought to himself, if I'm not trying to win you over, I don't want to say any cheesy love words.

Huang Qiyun asked in a low voice: "Do you really like me?"

"I don't like it." Bai Yu shook his head to deny.

The sudden denial made Huang Qiyun open her eyes in disbelief. She raised her eyes to meet the young man's slightly teasing gaze and upturned lips.

It's obviously a lie.

"You..." Huang Qiyun pursed her lips: "Asshole, liar."

"Some words are lies, you can tell as soon as you hear them." Bai Yu held onto the railing: "If I insist on asking, it will only make me look like a failure."

Huang Qiyun walked to the other side of the bridge, with her back to Bai Yu. They were one step apart. She whispered, as if talking to herself, "Why am I worthy of your love?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Bai Yu said seriously: "I may not like someone who is worthy, but the person I like is definitely worthy."

"Because I am the one who judges values. I like you, and it doesn't even have anything to do with you."

Thump thump thump…

The uncontrollable heartbeat is speeding up.

Huang Qiyun gently pressed her chest and then snorted: "I read in books and heard from my senior sisters that men say they like women, but they are just greedy for their bodies. You have been touching me a lot, could it be that you are only attracted by my body?"

Bai Yu was slightly stunned.

"Why, you dare not speak now that your thoughts have been exposed?"

"Not really." Bai Yu asked curiously, "I just held hands and touched her face at most. Is that serious?"

"This is already considered frivolous." Huang Qiyun's cheeks turned red when he recalled what happened before.

"Does it count?"

"Doesn't it count?"

"Okay, forget it then." Bai Yu didn't hesitate and confessed directly: "Even if I really am that kind of person...so what? Since I love your beautiful face, how can I pretend to be indifferent?"

"It's good enough if you admit it." Huang Qiyun turned around suddenly: "Come to my room tonight."

Bai Yu: "?"

"I owe you a lot, and perhaps I can never repay you, but as for these requests alone, I, I can satisfy you... It just so happens that I am also... somewhat curious about these things; no matter what happens, it is voluntary, and you are not responsible."

Huang Qiyun thought he could say all these words calmly, but when the words came to his lips he couldn't help but stutter.

These words are already extremely bold.

Five hundred years ago, the cultural background was not as open as that of modern people, and personal chastity was by no means a trivial matter.

Generally speaking, being willing to give one's body before marriage usually means a deeply passionate and lifelong relationship.

But looking at Huang Qiyun's impulsive expression with gritting his teeth, Bai Yu did not think that he had succeeded in the attack. On the contrary... this was a dangerous signal!

Friends who often read novels know that if a girl who is not yet a lover suddenly forgets everything when facing a huge decision, and drags the protagonist to spend a night of romance, then nine times out of ten, when they wake up the next morning, the other person is gone.

Maybe some people will choose to "go to sleep first, no matter how bad it gets, I won't close my eyes all night"...but most people will choose to stop at the edge of the cliff.

Although you can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, but CG before you are even a couple, it often means...the current strategy has failed.

It was not difficult for Bai Yu to guess Huang Qiyun's thoughts.

She felt that she could no longer give anything in return, but she was unwilling to be taken back by Bai Yuluo to become his little wife. She was even more unwilling to completely let go of her past grudges, so she fell into a dilemma of "how can you have the best of both worlds".

On the one hand, there is love that is within reach, and on the other hand, there is revenge that must be taken.

In the end, she decided to sever her emotional ties with her sword.

But before she cuts off her feelings, she still plans to finish what she should do.

In order to achieve the best results, some people even skip some processes and go straight to the point.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. In the previous life, a roommate in Baiyu University dormitory was suddenly dumped under such unclear circumstances. Besides, Baiyu was not really hungry.

He has always had strong self-control, and after sufficient training, his ability to withstand stress has been comprehensively improved.

Rejecting Huang Qiyun is a piece of cake.

With a flick of his fingers, he gave Huang Qiyun a stir-fried chestnut ball.

Bai Yu said unhappily, "You're trying to take advantage of this opportunity to sleep with me and you don't want to take responsibility."

Huang Qiyun covered his forehead and said, "I, I didn't... and you don't have to be responsible, isn't it more convenient for you?"

"What do you mean by convenience?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows. "Who do you think I am? What I lack is a Fiji Cup? What I lack is a good match to spend my life with. And I have said this from the beginning. Are you willing to live with me for the rest of my life?"

"You can find someone better. I'm not a good match." Huang Qiyun retreated and dared not answer: "I..."

"So you're willing to give me to someone else?" Bai Yu's tone was filled with a hint of anger: "You hope that after a night of passion with you, I will forget you completely, and then go marry another woman and spend the wedding night together?"

He clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "Huang Qiyun, if you don't like me, just say it. There is no need to humiliate Yu Bai like this."

Huang Qiyun's eyes turned red and she felt very guilty.

Her thoughts and ideas had been exposed, so she naturally didn't dare to look Bai Yu in the eye.

On the surface, it seems that no one is at a disadvantage in this matter, but for the party who has given his true heart, it is undoubtedly a losing deal...

What he wants is his whole heart and soul. Now he only got the trial version of the former. Isn't it a loss-making deal?
But Huang Qiyun didn't want to give away her whole body and soul. She still had deep hatred in her heart, which she could neither give nor take.

But she knew that if she continued to drag it out, it would only be a matter of time before the other party completely controlled her. She was afraid that one day she would be conquered without knowing it, and then she would become stupid for three years after pregnancy... In the blink of an eye, ten years would pass, and the child would be old enough to go out to play with the kids. By then, she might have to go back to Fenghuangtai to visit her relatives. What deep hatred would she still have to talk about?
She naturally knew that the result would be very good.

A happy life and a happy family, what's not good?

But deep down she just couldn't accept that outcome.

Reflected in the water under the bridge, I can vaguely see myself with a smile on my face ten years later, but that doesn't look like what I should be like at all.

This made her feel very anxious and uneasy.

Huang Qiyun remained silent.

She was a little annoyed that she shouldn't have been so clever. After all, with Bai Yu's intelligence, he could even solve the blood-stained clothes murder case, so how could he not see through her little thoughts.

"I……"

"It's okay if you don't like me. I have the right to pursue you, and you have the right to refuse, but I won't agree to your request." Bai Yu turned sideways: "If you think we are not a good match and you don't want to see me anymore, I will leave, or simply agree to your request and marry another woman and find another good match."

Hearing this, Huang Qiyun's expression changed from embarrassment to panic.

What she didn't like was just her imagined future self...not the beautiful family in her imagined future.

What if I was no longer in such a family and was replaced by someone else?

When she thought about Bai Yu doing similar things to other women as she did, caring about her, speaking softly to her, holding her hand through the changing seasons... an intense and piercing pain overflowed.

No!

No!
Can't let it go!
That obviously belongs to me!

Women are more jealous than men because they are more emotional and impulsive.

But everyone is greedy. It is human nature to want both. She can give up, but she does not want to be replaced...especially when something that is within reach and she has given up with her own hands becomes a priceless treasure obtained by someone else. It is like seeing a stone thrown away casually, but when it is picked up by another person, it is discovered that it is not a stone but a He Shi Bi.

This contrast will inevitably arouse jealousy that will burn all reason.

Just imagining it makes me feel like I can't control the outburst of emotions.

Even though Huang Qiyun had read many novels and had been in the martial arts world for five years, she had never experienced the relationship between a man and a woman.

What comes out on paper is ultimately shallow.

As a result, he suddenly fell into a state of self-consumption.

This also shows that Huang Qiyun is a good girl by nature, because she did not speak stubbornly or shirk responsibility, but her face turned pale and she began to reflect on herself.

Kind people are always used to looking for reasons in themselves. Only when they realize that reality is cruel and completely dark will they desperately cry out, "It's not my fault, it's the world's fault."

In fact, what Bai Yu said in the previous sentence was still conservative. If he had said, "If you don't like me, then you can just say it directly. I am not the kind of person who will pester you. I will go to Fenghuangtai to ask Huang Yanxia for marriage right away," that would be a decisive move.

But this leaves no room for maneuver.

Given Huang Qiyun's personality, he might be able to rebound.

Bai Yu softened his tone slightly: "I know you like me, but you just don't say it... Even if you don't like me, at least you don't hate me, right?"

"I..." Huang Qiyun was confused and had no idea what she was thinking, but she knew that she could no longer forget the person in front of her. She was so reluctant to let go of his hand. And only a few days had passed?
Why had she become so unlike herself?
Falling in love is really a terrible thing.

"I will go to Phoenix Terrace sooner or later." She revealed her true feelings and said softly, "I can't stay with you for long, and I can't guarantee that I can walk down the mountain alive. If we separate now, I may feel regretful, but at least I won't be too sad."

Bai Yu reached out his hand and stroked her cheek and long hair, his tone becoming more casual: "I, Bai Yu, am not as arrogant as you think. I don't think I can change anyone's life creed, so I won't advise you not to go to Phoenix TV."

"If you really decide to do this, I will support you and accompany you through this journey."

"Perhaps I cannot completely soothe your obsession with revenge, but I will not ask you to forget its existence."

The girl raised her chin and let their eyes meet: "What if we really can't walk together for a lifetime?"

Bai Yu said in a carefree tone: "If we really can't walk such a long journey in our lifetime, that's fine."

"If we can share the snow today, we can grow old together in this life."

"Compared to what will happen in the future, I care more about whether I have any regrets in the present. Life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can."

"I don't care how far we will go in the future, I only care...how far I can accompany you before you pull away."

"If you want me to be with you on this journey, then tell me, tell me in the most straightforward way."

"Otherwise, I can't see or hear."

Two pairs of eyes looked at each other.

The wind and the moon have nothing to do with it at this moment.

So the clouds quietly obscured the moonlight.

When Huang Qiyun mustered up the courage to stand on tiptoe, darkness enveloped the town.

As the moonlight passed through the clouds and fell on the earth, she ended the most proactive and straightforward confession of her life, her cheeks flushed as fire.

She grabbed the young man's sleeve and put her forehead against his shoulder: "I need you to stay with me until we reach the foot of Phoenix Terrace."

She didn't know if she had fallen. Maybe she had, or maybe it was just a short-lived love with a shelf life.

But she seemed to have thrown away some burdens. She no longer felt depressed. A long-lost sense of ease filled her whole body, as if she was lying in the clouds.

"I promise you." Bai Yu promised: "I will accompany you through this journey."

"If we can't grow old together in this life, let's wait for the next life."

……

The truth about the blood-stained clothes case was revealed.

News in the underworld spreads quickly. Long before the official gazette was published, the rumor had already been circulating. Just ten days later, storytellers had already started talking about the matter and adapted it into a story with complete content and details.

It immediately triggered a craze in counties and prefectures across Daxia.

Half a month later, a report from the government reached all parts of Daxia, informing the people of the country that the truth behind the blood-stained clothes case had been uncovered and the murderer behind it had been brought to justice.

The news spread throughout the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

It echoes the stories passed down orally by storytellers.

The names of the protagonists of the story, Mr. Bai and Ms. Phoenix, spread like wildfire, and within just a few days they quickly became hotly searched figures in the world.

Although the overly strong strength of Bai in his storytelling was questioned by the people in the martial arts world and the onlookers, Yang Diaosi, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, personally ordered his servants not to spread the word "What do you mean by a few moves? I was taught a few moves!", and the Ninth Princess ordered a gossiping eunuch to be beaten to death just because he insulted her savior. After the above news spread, no one in the martial arts world dared to question his strength anymore.

Canonization cannot be insulted. Anyone who dares to point fingers at others must be thinking he is dead.

Phoenix Terrace.

In the quiet room, Huang Yanxia had just finished her retreat and her injuries had healed.

At this time, I had just finished reading the official report, and my fingers were trembling, and my body and mind were shaking.

In just twenty days, the world has changed.

Dunkui and Qiangkui died, and Yinkui hurriedly resigned from the title of Ten Kuis and disappeared.

The truth of the bloody clothes case was uncovered, and the murderer turned out to be the father and daughter of the Hou Mo family, a world-famous medical saint family...

Huang Qiyun was proven innocent by Bai Yu.

Huang Yanxia had now become a murderer with blood on her hands. Her original reputation was no longer tenable. How could she not feel physically and mentally exhausted?
She had always believed that she was right, because Huang Qiyun was an irredeemable evil, her bloodthirsty nature was unchangeable, and her soul was filled with evil, so she could only be killed to prevent her from making more big mistakes.

But Bai Yu's actions gave her a loud slap in the face. At this time, Huang Qiyun not only cleared the suspicion, but also became a world-famous female knight fairy.

In the storytelling, the two of them were like a perfect pair of immortal lovers, envied by countless people. The phrase "I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals" was greatly praised by countless literati and even spread to the court.

If outsiders knew about Huang Qiyun's past, she, the new sword master, would become a hideous villain in the storytelling and the object of ridicule by the world.

Although Huang Yanxia didn't care about false reputation, Fenghuangtai did. After the news came, all the disciples of Fenghuangtai fell into a state of extreme low pressure.

She was a complete failure both as the head of the sect and as a sister.

But it's too late to make amends now.

Moreover, Huang Yanxia was always certain that she had clearly seen Huang Qiyun killing her fellow sisters that day. Even if she was not the murderer in the bloody clothes case, it could not prove that she was truly harmless and innocent.

"Ugh……"

With a silent sigh, Huang Yanxia put aside her complicated thoughts and looked at the other letter in her hand.

It comes from the city of Gelu.

It was the 90th anniversary of the city's establishment and also Wang Fuyue's 160th birthday.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gelu City issued an announcement to the martial arts world, intending to select a new martial arts champion from within Gelu City.

Invite her, the new sword master, to go to Gelu City to watch the ceremony.

Huang Yanxia didn't like this kind of socializing, but she had to go this time.

First, she had to consider Fenghuangtai because she had to give Wuxian face.
The second reason was that there was a rumor that Bai Huang and his companion’s next stop would be Gelu City.
