Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 491 Almost

Women will care about some things regardless of the occasion, but Gu Xun doesn't care. Although Xue Nu cares and cares, she is unable to resist, so she can only be sneaked back to his temporary residence by Gu Xun.

After landing, the snow girl's face was bright red, not shy, but angry. Of course, the most important thing was that her blood was not flowing smoothly and was blocked.

The three of them entered the main hall of the courtyard. The wall blocked the sound of the howling wind and rain, as well as the chilling coldness of the winter rainy night. This made the snow girl's cold and stiff heart relax a little. But the most important thing now is to figure out Gu Xun's purpose. .

"Now, can the Imperial Master explain?" Xue Nu sat alone in a seat far away, looking at the two people at the top and asking in a cold voice.

Gu Xun raised his head and glanced at her. Without panic or dissatisfaction, he first poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then poured a cup for Yan Lingji. The two of them picked up the tea cups in sync and took a few sips.

Although you are not afraid of the cold, this kind of winter rainy night is the best time to drink a cup of hot tea to warm your heart, especially when you have just come back from outside.

Putting down the teacup, Gu Xuncai replied:

"Isn't the situation very clear? My main purpose of going to Yan Chunjun's house tonight is to save you."

"Of course, even if I don't show up, someone will save you."

The snow girl who was about to ask Gu Xun why he saved her heard the second half of the sentence, so she put aside her original question for the time being and asked about the situation of 'others'.

"Others? Who else will save me?"

Gu Xun took another sip of tea and replied in a leisurely voice, "Mo Family."

Then, without waiting for Xue Nu to ask, he began to explain himself, "Feixue Pavilion is Yan Dan's property, and Yan Dan has a close relationship with the Mo family. Even if someone else goes to Xianyang now, the Six-fingered Black Man will not sit back and watch you being raped by Yan Chunjun." Poisonous."

"...but..." Xue Nu didn't understand why the Mo family didn't show any signs if they would save her. Instead, she just sat back and watched as she entered Yan Chunjun's mansion and walked into a dead end.

"Because of Yan Chunjun's special status, it would be easy for me or the Six-fingered Black Man to kill him, but... he is the younger brother of King Yan, so it is not convenient for us to do it." Gu Xun pointed at Snow Girl, "So In the end, we reached a consensus that you, a dancing girl with no background, will kill Yan Chunjun, and we will be responsible for rescuing you after that."

"Originally I didn't plan to get involved tonight, but after thinking about it, I decided to do it myself just to see the legendary dance."

"..." After a moment of silence, after roughly digesting what Gu Xun said in his mind, Xue Nu asked again, "So... you are from the Mo family?"

"No." Gu Xun waved his hand, "I am me, and the Mo family is the Mo family. Although we also want to save you, the reasons are completely different."

Xue Nu nodded slightly. If she said this, the reason why the Mo family saved her was very clear - the relationship with Prince Dan. She also thought of the person Gu Xun said before who would save Gao Jianli.

But in this way, the conversation returned to the question she had not asked before:

"Then, why did the Imperial Master save me? For this skin, a hero saves a beauty?" Snow Girl's voice was calm and cold from beginning to end, probably because enough things happened tonight. , making her numb.

"Puch! Hahaha..." Yan Lingji, who was watching the show on the side, couldn't help laughing again. She found that there was one thing she couldn't compare to this woman, and that was narcissism.

Gu Xun curled his lips and smiled disdainfully, "Huh? I know you are beautiful, but there is no need to think that everyone in the world is coveting your body."

"..." Xue Nu was not as annoyed by this sentence as she was just now, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

In her opinion, it was a very humiliating thing to be... brought here just now, but it was a good thing that Gu Xun was not interested in her. She was not the kind of magical girl who would feel unhappy because a man looked down on her. Brain circuit women. "What is the purpose of the National Preceptor? Please tell me clearly. If the snow girl can do it, I will definitely agree."

"Ha, it's simple." Gu Xun smiled, stretched out his hand and made a move in the air, and the Ice Soul Sword in the sheath appeared in his hand. Then he threw it towards the snow girl, and the sword landed on her impartially. On the desk in front of him, "Just draw your sword."

"Huh?" This time it was the snow girl's turn to be at a loss. What is this request? To draw the sword... it's enough if you have a hand, why do you have to spend so much effort to come specifically to find yourself?
  "Draw your sword." Gu Xun was not interested in explaining it to her, so he just emphasized it again.

Urged by Gu Xun again, Xue Nu didn't bother to think any more. Since that was what the other party asked, she did as she was told. Then she stretched out her hand to hold the jade-like hilt of the Ice Soul Sword, and lifted it up hard... before picking up the sword. It shook for a moment and then settled firmly on the table.

"How could it be..." Xue Nu murmured in surprise. At that moment, she basically concluded that the sword weighed more than twenty kilograms, which was almost the weight of a long weapon.

Gu Xun said nothing, and waved his hand to signal her to continue.

Seeing this, the snow girl turned to use two hands, one hand holding the hilt of the sword, and the other hand holding the tail of the scabbard. It took a lot of effort to pick up the sword, but as soon as she picked it up, she felt a cold feeling. The extremely cold breath poured into her body along the sword body. Even though her own internal strength was of cold nature, she couldn't help but shudder.

Without thinking much, the snow girl just regarded it as a rare and famous weapon and continued to draw the sword with all her strength.

Gu Xun and Yan Lingji sat at the top, quietly watching the snow girl draw her sword.

It went smoothly at first, and the Ice Soul Sword began to slowly reveal its true appearance. However, as more of the sword body was exposed, the pressure on Yuki Onna began to increase. Gu Xun and the two could clearly see how hard she was. In the end, Yuki Onna He stopped at the point where about four-fifths of the sword blade was exposed. He couldn't bear the backlash of the cold air, and he let go of his hands with a pale face.

The Ice Soul Sword instantly returned to its sheath, and Gu Xun took it back again with a wave of his hand.

"It's a pity...it's just a little bit off." Gu Xun looked at the sword, then looked at the person, and finally sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, I..." Xue Nu took a breath, a trace of color reappeared on her face, and she raised her eyes to look at Gu Xun.

Sure enough, things were not that simple. The sword... could not be unsheathed. Xue Nu didn't know what else Gu Xun would ask for, so she couldn't help but said with a hint of worry.

"It's okay." Gu Xun waved his hand carelessly, "Let's stop here tonight. Turn left when you go out and you will find the guest room. Everything is there. Miss Xue Nu, just do what you want. The Six-Fingered Black Man should come over tomorrow to take you out of the confines of Jicheng. .”

Seeing that Gu Xun's intention to see off the guests was beyond words, Xue Nu nodded slightly, said nothing more, stood up, bowed slightly to express her gratitude, and then went out to find the guest room.

Yan Lingji was playing with the celadon teacup in her hand and said gloatingly, "Oh, it's a waste of effort again. Can you pull out the Ice Soul Sword with "Xue" in your name?"

Gu Xun glanced sideways at her and replied with a smile, "Isn't this almost the same?"

Yan Lingji heard the hidden meaning in Gu Xun's words, "You mean, just a little difference is enough?"

Gu Xun simply replied, "It's barely usable, but... let's treat it as a last resort."

　I forgot to mention it yesterday. I assumed here that Jing Ke and Gao Jianli don’t know each other yet, otherwise the logic would be a bit unsound.

　　The main reason is that Xuanji's own time logic is too confusing. When I compress the timeline, chaos piles upon chaos. It's just...
