I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 271 Rumors
"Okay, Yan'er, stop bothering your sister." Tao looked at Liu Qi, who was annoyed, and called her Tao Zhiyan in a somewhat amusing way, so that she stopped nagging in front of her daughter.

I don't know how this child looks like. His younger brother and sister-in-law are all stable people, but this child has been talkative since he was young.

Tao Zhiyan just kept silent for a moment, then tilted her head and saw that Liu Qi's face had lightened up a little, so she carefully took her hands away from her mouth, and then asked softly: "Cousin, can I speak now?"

Liu Qi:......

Just at this moment Liu Nineteen happened to walk over. Tao Zhiyan's face suddenly changed slightly, her lips were instantly pursed, and she stared vigilantly at Liu Nineteen who was walking slowly towards her.

She had just sensed the murderous intent in Liu Nineteen's last move.

Liu Shijiu glanced at Tao Zhiyan coldly, then walked straight past Liu Qi and finally stood beside Zhou Mi.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, the white-haired Qingzhuke came over. He patted Tao Zhiyan on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and then bowed to Liu Qi and said, "Yan'er is not very good at learning, I am sorry to make you laugh."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Your life and martial arts are your own. If you go out, you may not have the same luck as you have today." Liu Qi replied calmly.

"Fang Fu, don't be rude to Mr. Zhu." As soon as Liu Qi finished speaking, Xu Yongding, who stood up to greet him, couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing that Liu Qi kept silent, Xu Yongding, who had already stood beside Tao, bowed to Qingzhuke and said, "My little girl has always been like this. I hope you don't mind, old gentleman."

"It's okay, it's okay." Qing Zhuke waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes narrowed into a line due to smiling, but his gaze was always on Liu Qi.

"What Miss Xu just said is very insightful. Yan'er has indeed had too little experience. If she doesn't learn a lesson now, she will suffer a great loss in the future!"

Xu Yongding raised his eyes and saw that the old man was staring at Liu Qi, and he instantly came to his senses, but then he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

I am afraid that in Qingzhuke's eyes, I, an old father, am not even as important as one of his daughter's fingers!

Xu Yongding didn't feel ashamed that he was not as good as his daughter, but when he thought of Liu Qi's reputation in the world, his heart was filled with worry and uneasiness.

As the saying goes, "too much rigidity leads to failure." He always felt that his daughter was too aggressive and if this continued, she would probably be surrounded by enemies in the world.

What's more, Fang Fu is still a girl...

The more Xu Yongding thought about it, the more he felt that this was not a good thing. He had been in the officialdom for many years, and although he had always been a low-level official, he knew very well that human hearts were treacherous, and he couldn't help but worry about Liu Qi's future.

Liu Qi didn't notice that her father's expression was not right, but even if she knew what Xu Yongding was thinking at the moment, she would only sneer at his worries.

Liu Qi originally planned to come to the training ground to stretch his muscles, but now it seems that he had made a wrong choice.

Neither Qingzhuke nor the Tao brothers and sisters' martial arts could arouse Liu Qi's interest. Moreover, with so many people on the training ground, Liu Qi lost interest in an instant. He greeted his mother and prepared to leave.

When Xu Yongding saw Liu Qi was about to leave, he wanted to say something to persuade him, but was stopped by Qingzhuke beside him.

"Mr. Xu San, your daughter is no ordinary person." Watching Liu Qi walk away, Qing Zhuke said to Xu Yongding with a warm smile on his face.

"It's just her temper..." Xu Yongding replied with a sigh, his worry evident in his words.

"Well, I don't think Mr. Xu San needs to worry too much." Qingzhuke stroked his beard and smiled, "How can an extraordinary person be treated ordinary? The Xu family has such a great talent as Miss Xu, which really makes this old man envious!"

The envy that Qing Zhuke spoke of was of course true. There were definitely only a handful of such young top masters in history. If he could have such a disciple, he, Qing Zhuke, would have no regrets in his life!
God really helps the Xu family!
Qingzhuke looked at Xu Yongding with eyes full of envy.

……

Liu Qi was practicing swordplay in the yard when suddenly two people walked in through the open gate.

It was Zhou Mi and Liu Nineteen.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw the flashes of knives flying in the narrow courtyard. Liu Nineteen's eyes lit up first, and then he stared at Liu Qi's body tossing up and down, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Mi also held his chin up and admired Liu Qi's sword-practicing posture, his eyes flickering with a thoughtful look.

hum-

Liu Qi's body suddenly paused, and he raised the blade and pointed it at the two people standing at the door. The blade trembled slightly, and a subtle clanging sound instantly reached his ears.

"Pa pa pa..." Zhou Mi clapped with a smile.

However, Liu Nineteen's attention was attracted by the dagger in Liu Qi's hand, and his eyes were fixed on the dagger in Liu Qi's hand.

The knife that Liu Qi was using at this moment was the eyebrow-painting knife that he had snatched from Linghu Shuo. It was a pair with the Hanshuo knife in Liu Shijiu's hand. They were the tokens of love between Madam Mei and Linghu Shuo.

Han Shuo had been given to Liu Nineteen by Madam Mei a long time ago, and Liu Nineteen had often shown off in front of Liu Qi for this.

As for Huamei, she was obtained by Liu Qi after he killed Linghu Shuo.

The two swords are exactly the same in style, length and weight.
Liu Qi noticed Liu Shijiu's eyes and immediately sheathed his sword.

As he watched the blade disappear into the sheath, a look of disappointment instantly flashed in Liu Nineteen's eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Qi said softly, "When you have mastered the seventh level of the Ancient Liu Heart Technique, I will give you this sword."

Liu Nineteen's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Liu Qi did not respond, but turned around and walked into the house silently.

Zhou Mi patted Liu Nineteen's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "When has Liu Qi ever said something wrong?"

When Liu Nineteen heard this, his joy was beyond words, and his steps seemed much more cheerful as he walked into the house.

While drinking tea, Liu Qi glanced at Liu Shijiu who walked in, then narrowed his eyes slightly and drank the cold tea in the cup in one gulp.

Giving the eyebrow razor to Nineteen was not a sudden impulse on Liu Qi's part.

In fact, as early as after Madam Mei's death, Liu Qi had thought of leaving the eyebrow razor to Nineteen, who had a deep relationship with Madam Mei.

However, Liu Qi always felt that the so-called deep affection between Madam Mei and Nineteen was deliberately constructed by Madam Mei. In addition, she wanted to free Nineteen from Madam Mei's influence, so she kept the eyebrow knife in her hand.

Before the Eyebrow Blade, Liu Qi already had two precious swords in his hands, namely "Jingji" and "Yuliu". Among them, the Yuliu Sword was a tool to suppress murderous intent, and Liu Qi almost never used it to fight with others.

As for the Jingji Sword... Nowadays, there are not many people who can make Liu Qi use the sword.

Therefore, it was useless for her to keep the eyebrow razor in her hand, and Liu Qi also understood at this time that no matter whether this friendship was intentionally constructed by Madam Mei, at least Nineteen's heart was real.

Nineteen was now only one step away from reaching the first-rate level, so Liu Qi simply used the eyebrow razor as bait to provoke her.

With Liu Qi's promise in mind, Nineteen devoted himself to martial arts in the next few days, almost forgetting to eat and sleep.

He practiced swordplay during the day and cultivated internal skills at night, and his life was very similar to the time when he was at Xiliu Villa.

During this period, she fought with Tao Zhiyan several more times. After the last lesson, Tao Zhiyan was much more cautious when fighting against Nineteen. She did not give Nineteen too many opportunities during the fight, so Nineteen was defeated by Tao Zhiyan five times in a row.

Although Liu Shijiu was always furious every time she lost, she and Tao Zhiyan gradually became closer. Liu Qi had long seen that Shijiu was a typical arrogant person. The reason why she always pestered Liu Qi in Xiliu Villa was simply because among all the women, only Liu Qi's martial arts and appearance were better than hers!

With the help of Liu Shijiu, Tao Zhiyan also visited Liu Qi's place several times, and the two gradually had some communication.

Tao Zhiyan and Tao Zhili are the children of Uncle Liu Qi. Tao Zhiyan is five years older than Liu Qi, while Tao Zhili is one year older than Liu Qi.

After my uncle died at the hands of Madam Mei, my aunt took her two children and left Qingjiang Prefecture, the sad place, and never returned for more than ten years.

After Liu Qi came back, Tao wrote a letter to the brother and sister's mother, hoping that the family could be reunited. Only then did the brother and sister return to Qingjiang Prefecture after twelve years.

So they came together. The old man with white hair and beard who called himself "Qingzhuke" was the master of Tao Zhiyan and Tao Zhili. He was also the leader of the Xuanzhu School, one of the three major underworld forces in Qingjiang Prefecture in the past.

After the Xuanzhu Sect was disbanded due to breaking the Wu Order, the then leader Qingzhuke faded out of the world and began to travel around. On the way, he accidentally ran into Tao Zhiyan and his sister.

Because the two had outstanding talents, Qingzhuke, out of his love for talent, took them in as his disciples and taught them carefully, hoping that the Xuanzhu lineage would be able to continue after his death.

The Xuanzhu School's martial arts use bamboo flutes as weapons, and its moves are somewhat similar to swordsmanship. It is said that the founder of the school was once a music master. In order to deal with bandits and bullies on the road while traveling around, he created this martial art with the flute in his hand. Later, it was sorted out and summarized by his disciples, and gradually developed and formed its own school.

Therefore, the first thing for disciples of Xuanzhu School to learn is music, because the internal skills and music of the school complement each other. If one does not understand music, it will be difficult to master the internal skills.

To put it bluntly, art is his main occupation and martial arts is just a hobby.

Tao Zhiyan's martial arts skills are better than Tao Zhili's, so Qingzhuke has regarded Tao Zhiyan as his successor, and even passed on the Xuanzhu sect's treasure, the green jade bamboo flute, to her.

It is the flute that Tao Zhiyan always holds in her hand.

Liu Qi borrowed it to take a look at it, and she found that she had seen the material of the flute before. When she was in the capital, Yue Qingyao, the contemporary walking master of Taiyi Sect, once gave Liu Xiangxiang a Xiangjun sword, which was made of green jade bamboo.

When Tao Zhiyan heard Liu Qi mention the Xiangjun Sword, her eyes lit up instantly. She stood up impatiently and asked, "Sister, do you really know the whereabouts of the Xiangjun Sword?"

Liu Qi nodded slightly, not knowing why Tao Zhiyan was so excited.

Tao Zhiyan saw Liu Qi nod, and couldn't help but show her joy. She rubbed her hands and said excitedly: "Master traveled all over the world just to find another green jade bamboo, but the green jade bamboo has long been extinct in the world, and no one has found it even in the three desperate places."

"I thought the Xiangjun Sword was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to really exist in the world!"

"Sister, good sister!" Tao Zhiyan leaned over to Liu Qi, breathing sweetly, "Just tell me the whereabouts of the Xiangjun Sword!"

Liu Qi stepped back calmly and replied, "What do you want the Xiangjun Sword for?"

"Of course, make another flute!" Tao Zhiyan replied immediately.

The ancestors of the Xuanzhu Sect once had two green jade bamboo flutes, but one of them was accidentally destroyed. Therefore, the leaders of the Xuanzhu Sect in every generation have been tasked with finding green jade bamboo and making another bamboo flute.

This is also called a heavy responsibility...

Liu Qi could only say that artists’ thought processes were indeed different.

The Xiangjun Sword should still be in Liu Xiangxiang's hands. I heard from Xu Fangfei before that Liu Xiangxiang has entered Sihai Academy.

Sihai Academy is backed by Sihai Villa, the owner of which is Zhu Weitong, who is known as "the wandering dragon and ink painter" and has always been praised by people in the martial arts world as the third most talented person in the world.

Now that Zhou Weiyang is dead and one of the two greatest masters is gone, Zhu Weitong is undoubtedly a strong contender for the top three in the world.

Likewise... he was also on Liu Qi's list.

Considering Tao Zhiyan's impure purpose, Liu Qi did not tell her the whereabouts of the Xiangjun Sword.

Tao Zhiyan tried to persuade him with soft and hard methods but failed, so she finally gave up.

……

One day, Liu Qi, who had just finished practicing swordsmanship on the training ground, caught a glimpse of three people walking towards the entrance of the training ground.

They were Tao Zhiyan and Tao Zhili, brother and sister, and there was also a handsome young man named Wu Xiuyuan, the son of a close friend of Qingzhuke. Entrusted by his close friend, Qingzhuke took him with him to travel around the world.

When Wu Xiuyuan saw the figure that had been haunting him on the parade ground, his eyes suddenly lit up.

When he came closer, Wu Xiuyuan couldn't wait to greet her, "Miss Xu."

Liu Qi simply nodded slightly to Tao Zhiyan and Tao Zhili, brother and sister, and chose to ignore Wu Xiuyuan's greeting. He turned around and walked towards the wooden shed where they were resting.

Everyone loves beauty. Liu Qi knew that she was born with a very good appearance, so every time she went out, even if someone looked at her a few more times or said a few words to her, she would not care too much.

Of course, don't expect her to have a good attitude.

After sitting down at the wooden shed, Liu Qi looked up at Tao Zhiyan and her group and asked, "My mother told me that you guys are also planning to go south together?"

Tao Zhiyan sat down next to Liu Qi, then nodded and replied: "In fact, Master has been planning to go to Jiangnan for a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to go with you this time, so that I can take care of you on the way."

Liu Qi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly said: "Is this your master's idea?"

Tao Zhiyan nodded slightly and said "hmm".

Liu Qi said no more.

She mentioned to Mrs. Tao that she was going to leave Qingjiang Prefecture and go to Jiangnan. Not only did Mrs. Tao agree immediately, but she also planned to go with Xu Yongding and Liu Qi.

In Tao's words, her family had finally been reunited and they didn't want to be separated no matter what.

Seeing that Tao insisted on going with him, Liu Qi had no choice but to agree.

As for what will happen in the future, Liu Qi can only say that it is their own choice. Liu Qi has already informed his family of his plan in full and also stated the dangers of this trip.

But Dow still insisted...

Tao Zhiyan, who was sitting next to Liu Qi, looked at Liu Qi several times. After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice: "Little sister, it is said in the martial arts world that you are going to fight with Master Jiang of Feiyu Villa. This matter..."

"Oh." Liu Qi replied calmly, "It spread so quickly. It seems Feng Qun did a good job."

Tao Zhiyan was shocked when she heard this: "This news is from you..."

"That's right." Liu Qi said, "I asked someone to spread it."

With the lesson learned from the last fight with Xiu Shaoyang, Liu Qi deliberately released the news in advance this time in order to let Jiang Jiyu be prepared.

She hoped to see Jiang Jiyu in his peak condition.

This way, the trip will be worthwhile!
