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

Chapter 278 Liu Qi, save me!
At dusk, in the backyard of Xu's mansion.

A figure emerged from the thin night mist and landed steadily in the center of a courtyard.

As soon as the visitor stood still, he heard a "clang" sound. He looked up and saw that the door in front of him was already wide open. Then a woman's pleasant voice came from the room:

"come in."

The visitor's eyes moved slightly, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he walked towards the house.

Inside the room, Liu Qi sat at a square table, one hand lazily supporting her cheek, staring intently at the book in the other hand, until she caught a glimpse of a figure walking into the doorway from the corner of her eye.

She stared at the page without blinking, and said calmly, "Master Feng, why did you come here uninvited?"

The person who came was Feng Qun!

Feng Qun glanced at the book in Liu Qi's hand and saw the words "Qingjiang Prefecture Chronicle" on the cover. He then said with a smile, "When did the young lady become interested in the local customs and people?"

Liu Qi was still reading the book calmly, without even glancing at Feng Qun. While turning the page, he casually said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Also...if you have something to say, just say it."

The smile on Feng Qun's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He then walked straight up to Liu Qi and sat across the table without being polite.

He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. Then, holding the cup, he said casually, "I heard that the second young master of your house disappeared on the way back?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then frowned and glanced down at the cup in his hand in surprise.

"No need to look, it's the Drunken Immortal Wine from Yunzhong Tower." Liu Qi put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and said to Feng Qun, at the same time quietly reached out and took the teapot in the middle of the table.

Feng Qun immediately smiled and said, "Young lady, you are really in a refined mood."

While Feng Qun was talking, Liu Qi had already poured himself a full cup of wine, and drank it all in one gulp. While pouring the second cup, he said, "I will set off south in three days. If you are free, you can come and see Liu Qi off."

A hint of surprise flashed across Feng Qun's face. He obviously didn't expect that Liu Qi would not care about the life and death of Xu Qingjiang's family of three.

Feng Qun was an old hand after all. After a brief moment of distraction, he quickly calmed down and raised his glass to toast, "Then I, Feng, would like to wish you a safe journey in advance!"

Liu Qi also raised his cup in response to the group, and then seemed to remember something and said, "Master Feng, do you know that the head of Shaolin Damo Academy, Master Kong Bei, is already in Yongquan Mansion?"

Feng Qun's face darkened when he heard this: "How did the girl know about this?"

Liu Qi replied calmly: "Someone from the Shen family told me."

Upon hearing that the news came from the Shen family, Feng Qun's face became more solemn, and the gleam in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Although Shaolin and the Shen family have always been on good terms, Kong Bei has been in charge of the Dharma Academy for nearly thirty years. Why would he come all the way to the Shen family?"

Now Shaolin is headed by the Jing generation. As the only chief of the Kong generation, Kong Bei not only has to be called uncle master by Feng Qun in terms of seniority, but also as he has been in charge of the Dharma Academy for so many years, his martial arts skills must be strong.

After the Wu Order was broken, Shaolin Temple was in a period of transition. Now, the monks of the Jing generation who have taken over as the abbots of the major academies mostly have martial arts skills that are between first-rate and top-notch. Kong Bei was already a monk of the abbot level before the Wu Order was broken, so it is clear that his martial arts skills are extraordinary!
However, Feng Qun immediately thought that Jingxian, who was responsible for contacting him, was still under his surveillance and had not left Qingjiang Prefecture, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

In Shaolin Temple, not many people know his true identity, and Kong Bei should not be one of them!
Shen Ying's letter was delivered in the afternoon, and the letter explained the purpose of Kong Bei's visit.

Shaolin hopes to purchase a batch of elixirs from the Shen family, and based on the list of elixirs provided by Shaolin, Shen Ying infers that they are planning to refine another Dahuan Pill.

The Dahuan Dan, Yijinjing and Xisuijing are known as the treasures of Shaolin Temple, and only the abbots of all generations are qualified to use them.

Now the Shaolin abbot Jingchen is in his prime and can hold the position of abbot for at least another twenty years. Shaolin is so eager to refine another Dahuan Dan. Could it be that they want to change the abbot?

Liu Qi couldn't help but ask Feng Qun about the miraculous effects of Shaolin's Dahuan Pill. You know, the talented people in the martial arts world are all very cautious about taking elixirs, but the first thing the Shaolin abbots of all generations do after taking office is to refine the Dahuan Pill. They will never go down the mountain before taking the Dahuan Pill!
In response to Liu Qi's question, Feng Qun directly stated that he also didn't know.

He explained in a deep voice: "The importance of the Great Huan Dan in the temple exceeds that of any other martial arts. No one knows of its miraculous effects except for the successive abbots."

Afterwards, Feng Qun seemed unwilling to talk to Liu Qi about topics related to Shaolin Temple, so he changed the subject: "Feng An's spies reported that someone saw the Thief Saint Chu Xingbai near where the second son of your family disappeared."

Chu Xingbai...

Didn’t he take Sang Manman back to his hometown?

……

Night had just fallen and the gates of the city were closed tightly.

In the thick night fog, a figure appeared at the city gate like a ghost, then quickly disappeared, and appeared on the city gate tower the next second.

"call--"

The man standing on the top of the city gate tower looked back at the darkness behind him, and then grinned and laughed: "You dare to compete with your uncle Chu in light kung fu? You are really looking for death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something, and the smile on his face froze instantly. Then he fell on his back, and a long sword with a cold glow passed before his eyes...

call out!call out!call out!
Chu Xingbai's upper body and calves were bent almost at a right angle of 90 degrees. While avoiding the sword, he suddenly dodged backwards, and only stood up straight after retreating to the edge of the city gate tower.

He looked back at the city wall several feet high below him, and then fixed his eyes on a slender figure slowly walking out in front of him.

"What grudge do I, Chu Xingbai, have against you? You chased me for three days and three nights..." Chu Xingbai suddenly twitched his nose twice, and then showed an obscene smile, "Hehe, little girl, you haven't taken a shower for three days, and you smell..."

laugh!
The sound of breaking air almost pierced his eardrums. Chu Xingbai was startled and lay back, falling from the city wall in an instant. Just when the top of his head was about to touch the ground, Chu Xingbai suddenly stretched out his arms and slammed the ground with his palms!
boom!
With the help of the recoil force of his arms, Chu Xingbai leaped up, and before he could even stand still, he rushed towards the long street in front of him. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the night.

And a figure floated down from the place where Chu Xingbai had just fallen.

At this time, the night fog gradually dissipated, and under the bright moonlight, the slender figure standing with a sword gradually revealed her face. It was a young girl with delicate features but a stern expression.

I saw his small nose wrinkled slightly, and then his cold eyes fixed on a certain place, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

……

As usual, Liu Qi was meditating and resting in the room.

Suddenly she opened her eyes, and a surge of energy gushed out of her body and rolled towards the door.

Bang!

The door was blown open by the gust of air.

About a hundred steps away, the two people who were chasing each other on the roof heard the noise at the same time.

Chu Xingbai, who was running around, suddenly felt a biting chill coming over him.

This chill is both creepy... and familiar!

Chu Xingbai was suddenly delighted, and then turned around and flew towards the direction where the sound came from.

Less than ten steps behind him, a girl with a gloomy face turned around and followed Chu Xingbai. When Liu Qi walked out of the door, he saw Chu Xingbai flying towards him. As soon as he landed, he shouted at him: "Liu Qi, save me!"

call out!
As soon as the words fell, a stream of blazing white light came from behind Chu Xingbai, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire yard like daylight!
Feeling the terrifying aura approaching from behind, Chu Xingbai kept moving towards Liu Qi.

As a burning sensation came from his back, Chu Xingbai grimaced in pain.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, and the burning breath behind him disappeared in an instant, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness that made him shudder!
Chu Xingbai paused, then looked back.

In Chu Xingbai's eyes at this moment, Liu Qi's slender figure seemed as steady and reliable as a towering mountain!
As he felt relieved, Chu Xingbai couldn't help but think of the suffering he had endured while being hunted down along the way, and he almost burst into tears!
Damn it, I can finally rest in peace!

Just as Chu Xingbai was overwhelmed with emotions, a woman holding a sword appeared in Liu Qi's sight.

The other party floated over and landed in the courtyard. It seemed that he sensed something from Liu Qi. He did not take the initiative to come forward, but stood still and asked coldly: "Who are you?"

Liu Qi sneered when he heard this, then raised his right arm and slightly bent his five fingers towards the sword-wielding girl.

call--

A strong wind suddenly arose.

The sword-wielding girl felt as if her body was being slashed towards the other party uncontrollably. She was horrified and the sword in her hand emitted a bright white light.

laugh!
Liu Qi looked at the oncoming blazing white golden light with an indifferent expression, and suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist. In an instant, a cold breath surged from his body and rolled towards the sword light like a tide.

The sword light was extinguished in an instant!
hum!
Liu Qi heard a faint sound of a sword, and then a sword blade appeared in front of her eyes, and behind the sword blade was a pair of cold and bright eyes.

The girl thrust the sword, and as the tip of the sword was about to pierce Liu Qi's face, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she loosened the strength in her hand a little, thinking of stopping the sword an inch away from the other person's eyes.

Humph... I want you to be scared and unable to sleep tonight!
The girl thought proudly in her heart.

But the next second!
when!
A slender hand has already grasped the sword.

The girl only felt a huge resistance suddenly appearing in her hand, and then her body seemed to hit an invisible wall. Her body trembled violently and stopped abruptly.

Liu Qi felt the sword struggling in his palm, then his eyelids drooped slightly and the hand holding the sword gently flipped.

dang dang...

Under the astonished gaze of the sword-wielding girl, the sword in her hand broke into pieces, and then the fragments scattered all over the ground.

Liu Qi brushed his hands and then said softly: "You..."

As soon as she uttered the word "you", she heard a deafening cry in her ears. Then she frowned, and saw the girl in front of her sitting down on the ground, holding her head high and crying loudly!

"Ah ah ah..."

"My sword!"

"This is the fifteenth birthday present my senior sister gave me!"

"Ah ah ah..."

……

Liu Qi slowly turned his head and swept a cold gaze towards Chu Xingbai who was not far behind him, as if asking: What's going on?

The woman on the ground was still sitting there wailing loudly, her crying sound like a devil's voice piercing his ears, Liu Qi simply blocked his hearing with his true Qi.

Chu Xingbai seemed to sense the coldness in Liu Qi's eyes, and then walked over, glancing at the woman on the ground with a gloating look, and then said with a grin: "This little girl's swordsmanship is so fierce, it's a good thing it's you, Liu Qi!"

"Wuwuwu...Hiccup!" At this time, the girl's howling had turned into sobbing softly, with a hiccup from time to time.

Liu Qi was speechless after hearing this.

"What's going on?" Liu Qi asked coldly.

Chu Xingbai scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. This little bitch was like a madman, chasing me and hacking at me all the way. Fortunately, my Qinggong is invincible, otherwise I wouldn't have made it to Qingjiang Mansion!"

"Oh!"

Chu Xingbai suddenly thought of something: "Manman and Chu Xiaopang also fell into their hands!"

After hearing what Chu Xingbai said, Liu Qi turned his head and looked at the girl slumped on the ground. She was slowly raising her head, her face full of tear marks, and a walnut-sized snot bubble was hanging under her nose.

As if she saw Liu Qi's cold eyes, the girl let out a nervous breath, and the snot bubble under her nose instantly swelled to the size of a fist, and then exploded with a "bang"!
Liu Qi's face darkened, and he took two steps back quietly, then asked, "Who are you?"

The girl seemed to be frightened by the bursting of her own snot bubble. She looked up at Liu Qi in a daze, then slowly looked at Chu Xingbai.

She seemed to have thought of something, and she jumped up suddenly, raised her sword and pointed it at the two of them!

but……

Liu Qi and Chu Xingbai looked at each other speechlessly.

The girl just came to her senses at this moment, and now there was only a bare hilt left on the sword in her hand.

The girl kept holding the sword, her face was as red as pig liver, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing that the other party was about to use the crying skill again, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly condensed, and then he shouted sternly: "If you cry again, I will cut you into pieces and throw you on the street to feed the dogs!"

"Tell me, who are you!"

Facing Liu Qi's roar and the terrifying might that emanated from his body, the girl was stunned for a moment before she said in a daze, "I...I...I am a disciple of Kongsang."

Seeing that the other party's psychological defenses had already been breached, Liu Qi took advantage of the situation and asked, "Why are you chasing him?"

Liu Qi pointed at Chu Xingbai.

"It was an order from my senior sister." The girl replied without hesitation, "My senior sister said that he has Kongsang bloodline, so she asked me to capture him. This is the first time I have received a task from my senior sister..."

As the girl spoke, her voice became lower and lower, her mouth pursed, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Liu Qi looked away speechlessly and asked one last question: "What's your name?"

"Gongsun Yan!"
