Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

Astringent thoughts swirled between his teeth, and Jiang Baiyan rolled the tip of his tongue slightly, realizing what he was thinking and feeling.

Shi Dai has a straightforward and lively temperament, and her almond-shaped eyes often contain a three-pointed smile. When she looks at someone with concentration, she is like spring water emerging, and the vast expanse of blue waves.

After being immersed in blood and pain for a long time, Jiang Baiyan rarely had a normal understanding of love. In the past, he only felt that her smile was ordinary, but he didn't know when he started to long for it.
Fortunately, Shi Dai was never stingy. When she met him, everyone smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang."

But the human heart is like a deep ravine, where longings can be calmed down, but greed is added to them.
For example, at this moment, Jiang Baiyan was greedy and thought for no reason why her smile and interest could not be with him alone.

He knew in his heart that this idea was extremely despicable, and he tried to suppress it almost blankly, but the dense emotions were growing like vines, and desires were growing.
It's like the vinegar you just drank quietly seeped into your flesh and blood.

Especially not long ago, Shi Dai held him in her arms.
I have experienced such tenderness, but now I feel even more at a loss.

"Then I'll go."
Shi Dai rubbed her cheeks and glanced sideways: "Master Jiang, can we come together?"

Judging from the hints given by the painting, the guard Ayan has been following Wei Ling.

Jiang Baiyan came back to his senses: "Yeah."

Looking at the rice paper she got in the third painting again, Shi Dai couldn't help but gossip: "Sister Rutang, what kind of relationship has developed between Wei Ling and A Yan?"

When Yu Zhihua, who painted outside the country, mentioned the two of them, he only said they were close.
Ayan obviously has feelings for his young lady, but as for Wei Ling——

Shi Dai thinks there should be some, right?

After personally investigating the survivors in the inn, Liu Rutang narrowed his eyes and the old god chuckled.

"To be honest, as soon as I met them, I felt there was something fishy."
Liu Rutang said: "Wei Ling has the temperament of a pampered daughter. She actually stayed with A Yan from beginning to end in Zhen'esi's medical clinic, taking care of him and taking medicine."

Shi Dai's eyes sparkled and she whispered: "Wow——"

"Ayan is even more meticulous with her. He doesn't talk much, but he keeps coaxing her."
Liu Rutang stroked her chin, thoughtfully: "In my impression, Wei Ling didn't talk to Han Zong again after leaving Junlai Inn. Maybe he noticed that A Yan was jealous and unhappy."

Shi Dai nodded suddenly.
The note she got clearly stated that Wei Ling was very interested in Han Zong's heroic deeds as a knight errant. It seemed that it was a whim of the little girl and had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

Shi Dai clasped her hands together: "I wish lovers will eventually get married."
Liu Rutang chuckled: "A happy marriage for a hundred years."
Shen Liushuang agreed: "Get married early."

Jiang Baiyan:......
Jiang Baiyan drank a cup of tea to get rid of the overly pungent jealousy in his mouth.

Han Zong's temper was too cold, and his long sword contained murderous intent, so no one around him came close.
Shi Dai was ready and raised her fingers at Jiang Baiyan: "Let's go, I will take you bravely into no man's land."

It was a smile that was cunning and hopeful.
Jiang Baiyan nodded lightly and responded half-jokingly: "Excuse me, Miss."

In front of other people, they need to change what they call each other.
Shi Dai gave her a "got it" look and stood up from the table.

The hem of her goose-yellow skirt was swaying, and she walked briskly towards the corner where Han Zong was.

The young man in black was sitting quietly by the wall, waiting for the evil tide to arrive. He caught a glimpse of yellow and white color from the corner of his eye and raised his eyelids lightly.

Han Zong had a face with sharp edges and corners, half of his face was hidden in the shadows, like a predator observing the wind and grass.
This glance was cold and sharp.

His eyes wandered over Shi Dai's face, then to Jiang Baiyan behind her, and the long sword in his arms trembled.

Han Zong frowned alertly.
It was difficult to know the opponent's strength. Due to the swordsman's instinct, he felt that this person was extremely dangerous.

"Knight, do you still remember me?"
Shi Dai smiled and said, "You saved my life when those monsters and monsters rushed in."

Han Zong said in a calm tone: "It's a simple task, don't worry about it."

"The grace of saving lives must be repaid by a spring of water."
Shi Dai sat down in front of him: "My name is Wei Ling, and this is A Yan. What is the knight's name?"

She guessed that Han Zong couldn't be enthusiastic and didn't care about his coldness.
This place is a fantasy. In order to complete the task and find out the case, Shi Dai doesn't mind being shameless.

Handling cases is serious business.

Han Zong's tone remained unchanged: "We meet by chance, so there is no need to tell us your name."

hiss--
He was so cold, no wonder no one came up to talk to him.

Shi Dai thought to herself and felt puzzled.
It is said that Wei Ling is a proud and arrogant young lady. Why does she have to stalk Han Zong?Still at this critical moment when evil spirits are surrounding us.

"Brother, your swordsmanship is superb."
Before she could speak, Jiang Baiyan beside him said quietly: "My young lady is very interested in this and wants to learn sword skills from my brother."

Han Zong held his sword in his arms all the time. Only when he used the two swords to kill Xie Sui, did his calm expression change and reveal his wanton joy.

If nothing else, he is a complete swordsman.
If you want to find a common topic with him, you may not be able to do anything else, but you can definitely talk about swords.

Shi Dai quickly glanced at Jiang Baiyan and gave a thumbs up under the table where only the two of them could see.
Mr. Jiang is really reliable.

"Correct."
With Jiang Baiyan by her side, Shi Dai felt confident, raised her lips and raised her chin: "My Ayan's swordsmanship is also very, very good."

The depression in my heart seemed to dissipate a little.
Jiang Baiyan's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and his lips raised slightly.

Sure enough, Han Zong bit the fish.
He raised his eyebrows: "Swordsmanship?"

"I've seen knights use two swords."
Shi Dai followed the current, her eyes narrowed: "I wonder which sect you are a master of? Judging from your appearance, is he a ranger?"

Like Wei Ling, she is also very curious about the ranger. What she says is [-]% true and [-]% false, and is the least likely to be seen through.

Han Zong glanced at Jiang Baiyan.
He was somewhat interested in this opponent and grasped the hilt of one of the swords: "Qingfeng Temple at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. Yes."

Han Zong's eyes flashed slightly: "Fight or not?"

Shi Dai:?
Following his eyes, Shi Dai saw the Broken Water Sword in Jiang Baiyan's arms.

Is this really a sword fanatic?

"My name is Han Zong, I am good with two swords."
Han Zong said: "If you think it's unfair, I can fight with a sword - but with your strength, I guess you won't need it. Which sect are you from? This sword is of good quality and is a good sword. It's called what name?"

Shi Dai:?
What's going on, brother, your body was taken away from you?
The words Han Zong just crackled out contained more words than what he had said today combined.

Han Zong's face was expressionless, like an articulation machine. As he spoke, he showed off two long swords in his hands:
"This is my sword. The left one is called Dragon Tooth, and the right one is called Wolf Tooth. They are both tempered for many days. They haven't met a good opponent for a long time. The evil spirits in this inn are not enough. You might be able to satisfy yourself by showing off your sword. they."

Han Zong: "Fight or not?"

Shi Dai opened her mouth with a complicated expression, but she hesitated to speak.
Where is Han Zong?Where is the original Han Zong who is so big?If I remember correctly, he seemed to be a cool guy who was silent and kept away from strangers?
Who is this chatterbox?
Jiang Baiyan frowned slightly.
He hates being cooked.
Except for one person.

"Not today."
Thinking of the bloody wound on Jiang Baiyan's left shoulder, Shi Dai said sternly: "Ayan has a wound on his body. If he draws his sword, the wound will burst."

The light in Han Zong's eyes dimmed for a moment: "Oh."
Han Zong stopped talking, his eyes full of loss, he held his sword and lowered his eyes.

This time, he didn't say a word again.

Shi Dai found it funny and figured out Han Zong's preferences. She raised her chin with one hand:
"It turns out to be Young Master Han. Where is Qingfeng Mountain? I think your swordsmanship is outstanding. The swordsmanship taught by your master must be unique, right?"

After hearing about his master's swordsmanship, Han Zong raised his eyes with a hint of excitement: "Qingfeng Mountain is north of Chang'an, a hundred miles away."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Baiyan: "When your injury recovers, do you want to be beaten?"

All in all, just chat with him about swords.
Shi Dai took her time and dropped the fishing bait bit by bit: "Can Shaoxia Han talk about the swordsmanship of Qingfengguan? Swordsmen who use two swords are rare nowadays. Ayan and I are very interested."

When mentioning this matter, Han Zong's expression calmed down slightly: "It is troublesome to practice double swords, and they are not as flexible as single swords, so there are not many people practicing them."

Shi Dai patiently asked: "Really? But I heard that the two swords are used well and the sudden attack is very powerful."

With this sentence, Han Zongzong's cold face showed a proud smile: "Exactly."

Some swordsmen love their swords as much as their lives, and there is no doubt that Han Zong is one of them.
When talking about the two-sword kendo he had practiced since childhood, his expression was much more relaxed and still cold. Fortunately, he could communicate normally: "The swordsmanship of Qingfengguan emphasizes being as fast as the wind..."

Shi Dai listened intently, occasionally getting distracted and gesturing to Liu Rutang and Shen Liushuang not far away.
The fish has bitten the bait and will not let go in a short time. They can go search Han Zong's guest room with peace of mind.

Liu Rutang sighed sincerely: "Reliable."
Shen Liushuang raised her eyebrows: "Dai Dai."

but--
When he stood up, Liu Rutang moved his eyes and looked at Jiang Baiyan who was sitting next to Shi Dai.

Shi Dai and Han Zong were chatting happily. One of them spoke excitedly and the other listened carefully. The atmosphere was good.

Jiang Baiyan was as quiet as ever, with no obvious clues on his face except for his thin lips pursed, and the shadows under his eyelashes were dark and heavy.
This change is so small that it is difficult to detect, and because of this, it appears to be particularly subtle.

Oh wow.
Unable to help but want to laugh, Liu Rutang raised her hand to cover her lips. To prevent Chen Liushuang from noticing, Liu Rutang covered the upturned corners of her mouth with the hem of her sleeves.

It's over, Jiang Baiyan.

Liu Rutang and Shen Liushuang left the lobby without anyone noticing. Han Zong didn't know that his home had been robbed, but he was still talking about it:
"Single sword and double sword have their own advantages and disadvantages. I only hope to find an opponent with acceptable strength and have a hearty fight."

Unfortunately, as experience accumulates, there are fewer and fewer people who can fight with him.

Shi Dai habitually boasts and gives prestige to her own people: "Ayan is very powerful, and it's not just as simple as 'fairly capable'."

She likes chatting with people, and also likes to learn about the weird and wonderful world, and she never tires of it.
After running out of topics about single swords and double swords, Shi Dai had more questions: "During the years of traveling around the world, Young Master Han has encountered any difficult opponents? For example...evil cultivators?"

The murderer behind this case was an evil cultivator. Since Han Zong was suspected, she brought the topic in this direction.
If it seems unintentional, it is actually a premeditated cliché.

"Evil repair?"
Han Zong frowned and thought back: "When I received the arrest warrant, I met a lot of them."

Shi Dai: "Wanted order?"

"Evil cultivators do a lot of evil, and if you kill them, you will often get a large reward."
Han Zong said: "I rely on this to make a living."

The ranger also wants to fill his stomach and uncover the wanted notice issued by Zhenesi. He can kill evil spirits and put money into his pocket, killing two birds with one stone.

Shi Dai's heart moved: "So, Young Master Han killed many evil cultivators?"

"A bunch of scum, it's better to kill them to get rid of harm for the people."
Han Zong said: "If you want to talk about being difficult to deal with..." then a new round of back-and-forth and verbal exchanges began.

Jiang Baiyan sat quietly beside her, slightly shocked, but felt that this should be the case.

What was shocking was that in the face of Han Zong's eccentric temperament, Shi Dai could easily get him to open up and chat with this person without any pause.

Then I thought, this is Shi Dai after all.

She has always been smart, charming, full of life, good-tempered to everyone, and can have a word or two with everyone.
Shi Dai never cared about Jiang Baiyan's cold and distant treatment in the past. Whenever they met, she would always smile at him.

Being nice to everyone, such closeness becomes routine and not special.

To whom will she reveal more intimacy?
Jiang Baiyan wanted "more".

A gust of night wind blew through the candlelight, and the faint light swayed, falling into her eyes like broken water.
Those beautiful almond eyes reflected Han Zong's reflection.

Jiang Baiyan thought, without him.

"The corpse chaser held a whisk and raised one hand, and ten zombies attacked at the same time."
Under Shi Dai's guidance, Han Zong talked about his battle deeds: "I ducked and stabbed away like this."

Shi Dai listened attentively and imagined the tense situation at that time: "Then what?"

Jiang Baiyan was absentmindedly stroking the black gold dagger in his sleeve with his fingertips.

He once single-handedly killed nearly a hundred corpses in the tomb of the previous dynasty.
If Shi Dai wants to hear it, he can tell it too.

Han Zong: "Then, I turned around and raised my swords together."

Jiang Baiyan tapped the Broken Water Sword with his fingertips.
He can do this trick too.

Why hasn't Han Zong finished speaking yet?If Broken Water were pierced into his chest, would the painting collapse immediately?
As if sensing his master's emotions, Duanshui and his scabbard trembled slightly.

At the same time, Shi Dai's whisper passed through my ears: "Mr. Jiang, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes.

Shi Dai looked at his pale face curiously.
She knew that Jiang Baiyan didn't like to talk, but since Han Zong opened his mouth, he hadn't said a word.

The look of him lowering his eyelashes and saying nothing seemed a bit aggrieved.

Is it because the wound hurts?
Jingshen felt the unfamiliar emotions surging in his chest, and Jiang Baiyan curled his lips slightly: "Nothing."

"Brother, the blood on the front of your lapel, could it be that you were injured by evil spirits?"
Han Zong wanted to say something more, but in the flash of light and stone, his sword eyebrows suddenly stern: "Silence."

The mountain forest was dead silent late at night, and suddenly a cold wind hit the window lattice, making a thumping sound.
The sound of the wind is like weeping and complaining, and the two overlap, like a resentful ghost tapping the window, which is very strange.

In the inn, everyone held their breath and concentrated, and there was a moment of silence.

The next moment, the wooden window was burst open from the outside, and a black shadow dived into the crowd like a broken bamboo!
As if a switch was pressed, the stagnant atmosphere suddenly collapsed.
The residents, all with earth-colored faces, tried their best to grab life-saving straws and ran toward Yu Zhihua and Han Zong.

Screams, cries and begging for mercy rang out. Han Zong ignored them and drew his sword out of its sheath.
Before leaving, he never forgot to tell Jiang Baiyan: "Want to fight or not? You decide the date, I can do it."

Shi Dai memorized the lines and moved closer to Jiang Baiyan: "It's a monster, Ayan, save me!"

Yu Zhihua gritted his teeth and manipulated the remaining spiritual energy into the exorcism formation: "Go and block the windows!"

The strength of the formation is closely related to the layout of the inn. Once there is a hole, the Yang Qi will leak out, and evil spirits will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

She and Han Zong protect the formation one by one, and eliminate evil spirits by the other.
The golden light of the exorcism formation flowed and turned, and the black-clothed swordsman held the sword in both hands, like an eagle flying into the sky, close to the shadow ghost who had entered through the broken window.

The two-edged sword is like a pair of moons, stabbing sideways and cutting off half of the shadow ghost's body.

Shi Dai subconsciously said "Wow".
Her eyes did not stay on Han Zong for long, she turned her head to the side as if taking credit, and stood on tiptoes: "How is it? Is the conversation I just made okay? You -"

Seeing the gloomy look in Jiang Baiyan's eyes, Shi Dai calmed down: "Are you okay? Is the wound uncomfortable?"

She was planning to blurt out "Mr. Jiang", but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed the title.

From the moment the two of them started talking to Han Zong, they attracted a lot of attention in the inn.
At this moment, the residents rushed forward and gathered behind Han Zong. She and Jiang Baiyan were surrounded by many people.

From the perspective of the person in the painting, she is Wei Ling.

Shi Daimu was concerned, and Jiang Baiyan met her eyes. He was silent for a moment, and gently raised the corners of his lips: "The injury is fine. I am probably... jealous?"

Shi Dai was startled: "Jealous? What are you jealous of?"

Jiang Baiyan sat next to her, with a pure face and a smile like a pine covered with frost and snow.
He has an indifferent, cold and elegant temperament, with a long sword in his arms and a few sharp killing intentions.

He is good-looking, talented and has a bright future.
For such a person, it is difficult for Shi Dai to associate him with the word "jealousy".

Tapping the hilt of the sword with his index finger, Jiang Baiyan said quietly: "I am jealous of Han Shaoxia's superior swordsmanship, even more so than mine."

His tone was casual and half-joking, making it clear that it was just a casual mention and not meant to be taken seriously.
The water cut off seemed to be dissatisfied, and there was a buzzing sound.

Shi Dai found it unbelievable: "What are these words? Your swordsmanship...your swordsmanship must be much better than his."

Watching her expression intently, Jiang Baiyan's lips curved slightly: "Do you really mean what you said?"

Shi Dai nodded vigorously: "Of course."

She never forgot the scene when Jiang Baiyan drew his sword to fight the enemy.
It is said that he is a rare swordsman genius, Duan Shui is extremely sharp, and Jiang Baiyan is also unmatched.Even if he is in Zhen'Esi, which is full of talented people, his strength is definitely among the best.

What's more, Jiang Baiyan is still so young and has little experience.

Close at hand, Jiang Baiyan looked at her quietly, his dark eyes as deep as the tide.
After a while, he suddenly smiled: "That's fine."

This sentence was suppressed too low and reached my ears through the breeze, and disappeared in an instant.

Shi Dai had no time to react and blinked again. A breath of sword wind blew past her temples, and her eyes were filled with the cold sword light like autumn water.

It is indeed a swordsmanship that no one can match.
After thousands of times of hard work, he became perfect, without any sloppiness, and the sky was as bright as frost when he lifted the sword.

Jiang Baiyan didn't use his spiritual energy. He flipped his wrist lightly and pulled out a complicated sword flower.The cold light shone brightly as the sleeves and robes flew around, making it blindingly bright.

The broken water carried the power of thunder and struck the vital point cleanly and directly into the chest of a monster. Blood splashed everywhere it passed, like a red lotus falling to the ground.
The demon came in through the window, crossed Han Zong and tried to sneak attack, but before it could scream in pain, it was already dead.

Ayan has swordsmanship at hand, and it is reasonable to use a sword in critical moments.

The flash of swords and swords came unexpectedly, and the people nearby were frightened and screamed, and they all took a few steps back.
After realizing what happened, he approached Jiang Baiyan as if he was facing an amnesty.

A trace of blood splashed down his cheek, Jiang Baiyan held his sword and looked sideways.

Suddenly looking into those peach blossom eyes, Shi Dai blurted out: "You——"
Shi Dai jumped to her feet: "You are injured!"

She trotted up to Jiang Baiyan with a tense look on her face, fearing that the wound on her left shoulder would burst and bleed. She was frantic for a while, wanting to take a look, but she couldn't just lift off the person's clothes.

Shi Dai was very distressed. She lowered and raised her right arm, stopping in mid-air.
Immediately I heard Jiang Baiyan's low laughter.

The killing intent and sword energy remained in his body, and even when he was smiling, he still showed a frightening aggressiveness for no reason.

"Miss," he said softly, "do you know why I am jealous?"

In front of everyone, he used his identity as Ayan and called "Miss" very smoothly.
Shi Dai raised her eyes in confusion: "Why?"

Of course she didn't believe that Jiang Baiyan would be jealous of Han Zong's swordsmanship.

The moment their eyes met, she saw the arc at the end of Jiang Baiyan's eyes.

"I'm jealous," he said in a low voice. He couldn't hear the emotion or anger, and couldn't tell what was true and what was false. "In the eyes of the young lady, I can only see his swordsmanship, not me."

Qingyue's deep voice.
Like bewitchment.

I never expected to get this answer, my heart was caught off guard, and there was a surging heat behind my ears.

Shi Dai lost consciousness for a moment and quickly regained consciousness.

Jiang Baiyan's identity...is Ayan, right?
The rice paper he got must have written about A Yan's jealousy and grievance. In order to fit the character, he said such words.

She heard clearly that Jiang Baiyan called "Miss".

But I still feel shy.
The villain in my heart rolled on the spot several times.
Shi Dai raised her hands and covered her cheeks in an attempt to cool down.

"Look, I saw it."
She felt dizzy: "Ayan's swordsmanship."

Jiang Baiyan wiped away the blood splattered on his cheek. The small mole under his lip was as red as a flower stamen, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He didn't say anything more when Shi Dai took a step forward and spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"It's not Ayan."
They were too close, and her voice carried the fragrance of plum blossoms, soft and close to her ears: "...it's Jiang Baiyan."

Shi Dai whispered: "Jiang Baiyan's swordsmanship is the most powerful I have ever seen."

Like a ferocious beast being smoothed down.
Just listening to her words, the astringency and murderous thoughts in his chest disappeared completely, replaced by another more uncomfortable, tearing feeling of fullness.

The Adam's apple rolled silently, Jiang Baiyan lowered his head and wiped his sword, strands of black hair fell down, revealing the rouge-colored thin red tips of his ears.
He said with a smile at the end: "Yeah."
