Chapter 10, a gathering of heroes at the scene

Leilei intentionally said: "That was close, if you hadn't held back, the treasured sword would have almost been taken away by him"

Qin Liufeng was surprised to see her suddenly become proactive

Having already walked to the door, do you still want me to take you inside? Lei Lei rolled her eyes, big brother, aren't you the type to pursue every pretty girl you see, Qin Liufeng or Qin Fengliu? With a handsome man taking the initiative to show interest, she certainly wouldn't refuse. Holding a girl's hand in front of so many people, this person has quite an open mindset, comparable to that self-willed beautiful brother.

"Little girl, what are you sneaking around for?" A hand patted her on the head amidst the cheerful tone.

He Taiping looked at her: "Amnesia?"

I am the maid here," Lei Lei eagerly announced her discovery, pulling him over with a feigned air of mystery, "Look at that brother of Master Leng!

Before she could complain, she was immediately captivated by another person

With this in mind, Lei Lei nodded. Was Leng Ying killed by the leader of the Xisha Sect, Wen? Although this still requires investigation, the unique palm technique of the Xisha Sect can be considered conclusive evidence. It is likely that on that night in Jinjiang City, he could not help but seek revenge for his father, which led him to attempt to assassinate Wen Ting alone. Fortunately, Miss Wen helped to conceal this; otherwise, the assassination of a prominent leader would have caused a significant uproar, making it even more difficult to manage.

After careful consideration for half a day, Lei Lei gloomily realized that it was still best to continue her amnesia

The experience of being in close proximity to celebrities is truly different. Xiao Taiping is indeed very amiable and approachable. Lei Lei winked and said, "I am here specifically to serve the young master, and I have nothing else to do."

Little Taiping, Little Taiping is actually like this! Lei Lei's eyes sparkled as she glanced at Aunt Hong, how can such a handsome leader be called "old man", it's surprising that you can say it out loud!

Upon thinking of the world-renowned roast duck, Lei Lei swallowed hard and looked him up and down

Hurry and take a look, the newly appointed leader of the South China Sea, Leng Shengyin, has also arrived, and he brought his brother with him

That affectionate practice is also a treasure of the martial world, entirely woven from ice silkworm silk, comparable to your young master's Phoenix Cry Blade, and Shangguan Qiuyue possesses formidable martial arts skills

Leilei also looked at him

She was solely concerned about the new leader of the South China Sea, which surprised Aunt Hong, who pointed towards the hall and said, "Why can't you just sit in there!"

Leilei refused, burying her face in his chest: "You left me here all alone. What if the demoness from the Thousand Moon Cave comes back and I get captured again?"

Leilei thought for a moment: "It's acceptable"

The handsome man did not answer but instead asked, "Who are you?"

The young master immediately raised his face to look at her

The Phoenix Crying Blade was forged from the elite cold iron found in the depths of the sea, capable of severing hair and cutting through ordinary swords with ease. However, the tender practice was surprisingly resilient; not only did it not get shredded, but it also emitted a peculiar grinding sound, sharp and grating, resembling the clash of two metals.

Should I tell him the truth? This thought flashed through my mind, but was quickly dismissed.

The handsome man raised his eyebrows

Wang Congdao said: "Last time, didn't someone from the Nanhai faction attempt to assassinate Master Wen of the Xisha faction? It took Alliance Leader He a great deal of effort to mediate that situation. Nowadays, it seems he is worried that the two factions might cause trouble again, which is why he brought him along."

Later, there was no clear winner or loser, and Shangguan Qiuming left

The white ribbon is approximately one foot wide, and its material is unknown; it certainly does not appear to be ordinary silk or fabric. Its color is cold like snow, shimmering under the moonlight, creating a particularly magnificent and beautiful sight. Although it is undeniably an extremely soft and lightweight object, at this moment, under the control of powerful internal energy, it seems to have come to life, standing straight, as hard and sharp as a blade. True to its name, it is passionate, and throughout history, many beautiful events have arisen because of it. However, if you are not careful, you are bound to be harmed by it.

Who has become more spirited after experiencing a kidnapping? The young master observed her for half a day and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you... alright?"

In an instant, the affectionate practice had become soft and agile, resembling a gliding serpent, entwining around the blade of the Phoenix Cry sword. This was precisely to the young master's liking; as soon as the practice wrapped around the body of the sword, he immediately twisted the blade inward.

A remarkably handsome man in white, slightly shorter and younger than the two beside him, with a black jade hairpin securing his hair, long eyebrows, and red lips, exuding a calm demeanor and elegant posture

The young master relaxed his mind and shook his head: "I do not know the reason behind my father's last wish."

Lei Lei busily said: "Of course, the most powerful move has yet to be unleashed"

"He is the brother of the cold master, Leng Zui."

Leilei looked down on him even more: "Don't you think he looks like a woman?"

She then questioned, "Who is the one wearing the yellow clothes?"

Shangguan Qiuyue is not too harsh on his sister, and he feels guilty about betraying him. Moreover, it seems that Shangguan Chunhua has a penchant for gouging out people's eyes, and she might be carrying several lives on her back. There is a 99% chance that his wife, Huaguniang, known as "Xiaobai," was killed by her. With a murder case tied to her, "Xiaobai" is fiercely opposed to evil, and he conducts himself with strict principles. Can he believe in such ghostly tales as borrowing a corpse to return to life and let us off the hook?

Ice silk is reputed to be the most flexible material; when made into close-fitting garments, it can render one impervious to blades and firearms. It is a treasure that martial artists dream of possessing. At the time, it was already rare for Xiao Yuan to find a single strand, so how much would be required to weave such a long white ribbon? This illustrates that this affectionate ribbon can indeed be considered one of the most valuable weapons in today's martial world

The weapon of the handsome brother is also so cool! Lei Lei opened her mouth

Leilei sensed that something was amiss and tried to correct it; however, no matter how much she emphasized her point, everyone firmly believed that it was their young master who had chased away Shangguan Qiumei

Leilei conditioned reflexively turned around

My name is Qin Liufeng

"Not surprising," the handsome man said. "She was originally a woman, the sister of the cold sect leader, Leng Ning. Disliking her female identity, she often changed her name to Leng Zui. When she goes out to meet people and discuss poetry, she truly is a rare talent in the martial world who can sweep away the frowns of others.

In his thirties, dressed in a splendid wide robe, he may not match the elegance of the young master and Shangguan Qiuyue, but he can at least be considered dignified and imposing. Compared to the young master, he appears slightly more shrewd, and in contrast to Shangguan Qiuyue, he exudes a bit more righteousness. At this moment, he is speaking to Leng Shengyin in profile, his expression gentle, a smile playing at the corners of his lips, giving off an air of warmth and approachability; however, there is also an inherent authority in his gaze.

Leilei looked for half a day and suddenly asked, "Who is he?"

Someone interrupted her: "What does Shangguan Qiuyue look like?"

On one side was the elder brother, and on the other side was "Xiao Bai". In the end, it would be disastrous if it resulted in a situation where both sides suffered losses. Lei Lei hurriedly grabbed him and said: "No, don't chase after them!"

The young master suddenly interrupted her: "The one I saved on the way back the day before yesterday has lost her memory and cannot remember anything."

However, it does not matter, "Xiao Bai" performed well today, we will absolutely not harm you

Something is not right! Something is very wrong! ... That skin, that nose, that mouth ...! ... No Adam's apple?! Lei Lei hid by the window for half a day, and finally made a discovery that almost made her jump with excitement. How interesting, how interesting! In this day and age, there really are women disguising themselves as men. Fooling these ancient people is one thing, but can she fool me?

Leilei spoke out for her beautiful brother: "No, he is very good-looking."

Qin Liufeng pulled her in and laughed as soon as they entered, "Brother Xiao, when did you find such a clever maid? She's quite amusing!"

He Taiping remains silent, observing the flow of Qin.

It turned out that the Phoenix Cry Blade was adorned with an extremely fine and resilient silver thread. The young master took the blade in hand, and without a word, his figure flickered as he swung the blade towards the passionate practice.

The young master remained silent

Where has Young Master Qin just gone, having been here a moment ago?

Walking along the faint silver glow, the two individuals traversed the mountain path

Aunt Hong smiled and said, "You don't recognize this? Of course, it's the esteemed Lord He, the leader of the alliance."

Leilei sneered: "Don't you notice something wrong?"

"Just now I said I couldn't come, but Young Master Qin insisted on pulling me in," she said with a smile as she walked over and leaned on Qin Liufeng's shoulder. "To serve Young Master Qin is my fortune, of course it's good, but it requires our young master’s agreement first"

Someone urged her: "What happened next?"

Do you wish to leave? The great grievance has yet to be avenged, how could the young master be willing to let it go? He must pursue it.

Everyone rolled their eyes countless times: "Nonsense, Xiao Xiao Feng Ming Dao is unparalleled in the world, how could it possibly be a tie with him!"

As soon as the talented woman left, Lei Lei immediately straightened up and withdrew, distancing herself from Qin Liufeng

The young master also realized that it was inappropriate to leave her alone. Seeing that the enemy was difficult to pursue, he felt quite helpless: "Let her go."

He Taiping was taken aback and turned to look at the young master

He Taiping smiled and said to Lei Lei: "Brother Qin has always been open-minded. If the young lady has matters to attend to, she may go ahead and not worry about it."

With a scoff, Shangguan Qiuyue withdrew her sleeve and smiled, saying: "I have long heard that the last move of the Xiao family's sword technique, 'Xiao Xiao Feng Ming', possesses boundless power. I am eager to experience it, but the time is not yet right."

Qin Liufeng suddenly took her hand: "What can we see here? Come on, take me inside, okay?"

One could never have anticipated that this woman would perform this act, inadvertently causing the cold and intoxicated to leave in a huff. Qin Liufeng smiled wryly, yet found himself intrigued, deliberately observing the young master: "Good girl, can Brother Xiao bear to part with you?"

He Taiping helplessly said: "Be more careful, this is not the Qin residence"

"You are still the best." Lei Lei reluctantly rubbed against his chest before letting go.

The young master sneered: "The Xia family’s Fengming Blade is not so easily obtained by the people of the Demon Sect. Shangguan Qiuming merely wishes to deal with me. If the Fengming Blade truly falls into his hands today, I fear neither of us will be able to leave."

Watching Shangguan Qiuyue leave helplessly, the young master was pulled by the arm, feeling anxious in his heart, and angrily said: "This demon is causing harm to the martial world; if we do not eliminate him now, there will be endless future troubles!" He shook her off and attempted to leave again

He Taiping also sensed something was amiss and was about to speak when Leng Zui suddenly stood up beside him: "I just saw that the osmanthus flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully, so I will go out for a walk first and not disturb you all from discussing important matters." Without paying attention to the others, he left the room.

Lei Lei was originally worried about this matter. As long as someone went to Guyan Village to investigate, the identity of "Chunhua" would be revealed. Although she had inquired privately, no one had heard of the name Shangguan Chunhua, which shows that, as Shangguan Qiuyue said, she rarely moved in the martial world. However, one can never be too careful. Now, seeing the young master say this, she couldn't help but feel extremely delighted. "Xiaobai" took the initiative to speak, clearly intending to help conceal the truth. Could it be that he has already seen through our lies and is willing to let us continue to make a living?

After speaking, she felt goosebumps all over her body; it was just too cheesy, this line. The situation forced her! ... Suddenly, she caught sight of the bloodstains on the ground, and she immediately shivered again, holding the young master even tighter. I am truly a bit scared

Looking at Qin Liufeng again, the smile on his handsome face seemed to have increased by a few more points

Qin Liufeng smiled without speaking

However, Lei Lei was paying attention to the cold Sheng Yin beside her, who still maintained an icy demeanor, as if he did not recognize her at all. This instantly infuriated her. Indeed, back then, when she was forced to save him, he expressed his gratitude to that gentle Miss Wen, and naturally did not acknowledge her kindness. It seems that she had kindly saved a thankless wolf, and it would be better to be with "Little Bai" and Xiao Tai Ping instead.

The young master averted his gaze: "If it is you ... ... "

He Taiping, however, noticed the question in the conversation: "Saved?"

It is truly unavoidable to be struck by lightning even if one is not thunderstruck

Between truth and misunderstanding, several days passed unknowingly, until one day, several distinguished guests suddenly arrived in the village

Leilei exclaimed: "How did he come here?"

The handsome man, with great interest, crossed his arms and asked, "What is wrong?"

His handsome face slightly flushed, the young master glanced at her and sheathed his sword: "Go back."

The little girl has a sharp tongue

The public discontent: "It must be extraordinarily ugly, what do you mean by 'not bad'!"

Lei Lei calmly replied: "Yes, I don't remember anything, the names are all randomly made up"

I? It's nothing, nothing! Lei Lei was in a good mood and changed the subject, "Why can't your Phoenix Crying Blade kill women?"

Do you really take me for your own? Dare to push me out! In her disappointment, Lei Lei immediately leaned closer to him: "I am so devoted, of course, Young Master wouldn't want to part with me. Young Master Qin must have no shortage of people around him, so I will stay to serve our Young Master. Besides, my life was saved by him, and I have yet to repay that kindness, how could I leave?"

Oh, is this the renowned Qin Liufeng? Alongside the young master, he serves as a crucial right-hand man in the realm of Xiaotaiping. With his handsome appearance and charming demeanor, he is celebrated for his poetic talent, being hailed as the foremost talent in the jianghu. His mastery of the Liufeng Palm technique is exceptionally profound. More importantly, he is also the esteemed spokesperson for the famous "Su Su Brand Roast Duck"

The young master regained his senses and looked at Lei Lei

The handsome man glanced and nodded: "What is it?"

The figure glides gracefully, as beautiful as clouds drifting in the sky.

Accustomed to his temperament, He Taiping no longer said much, merely smiled and let it go

The alliance leader has arrived

Leilei, however, looked at the young master

Leilei sighed: "So you were prepared all along, how clever!" The beautiful brother is even smarter; what he wanted was never the knife. Everything was already part of his plan, making you worry about 'saving' me to return. Look, he has successfully placed a spy beside you.

Leilei is speechless; beautiful brother, you have committed too many misdeeds. Everyone remembers your actions such as gouging out eyes vividly. As the rumors spread, your reputation has become increasingly notorious, and no one seems to remember your natural beauty.

"Where is she, where is Leng Shengyin?" Lei Lei pushed through the crowd

Seeing her in great fear, the young master could only comfort her gently: "I will not leave."

To firmly hold the position of the leader, one must naturally possess exceptional qualities. Understanding the true nature of this person, the "smiling fox," Lei Lei did not dare to be careless. She carefully reviewed the pre-prepared lie of "a weak woman being chased and resulting in amnesia" in her mind, making thorough preparations to handle the questioning before she began to speak: "Actually, I..."

It turns out he knew all along, wanting to pursue the talented younger sister, using me as a catalyst! Lei Lei has seen this trick on television too many times; upon realizing it, she was greatly displeased. To use someone without their consent is highly unethical. Why not let me take advantage of this as well, to show you who's in control!

The crowd scoffed, beginning to doubt the authenticity of the story: "You girl must not have even seen it clearly, you are just exaggerating on purpose"

Shangguan Qiuyue clearly did not anticipate: "Ice Silkworm Silk!"

The young master was slightly taken aback: "It turns out that the affectionate practice is woven from ice silkworm silk"

Everywhere and in every book there is beauty, Lei Lei is almost visually fatigued: "Who are you?"

Upon seeing the two individuals enter hand in hand, the young master was momentarily taken aback

Leilei was choked

The sunlight is gentle and beautiful, the fragrance of osmanthus fills the garden, the Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and it is rare to encounter such fine weather. With the arrival of several special guests, Baisheng Mountain Villa has become quite lively.

As the affectionate ribbon was about to ensnare the Phoenix Crying Blade on the ground, unexpectedly at that moment, the Phoenix Crying Blade flew up on its own, evading the affectionate ribbon and soaring towards the young master.

In the nearby small pavilion, three guests were seated, while Steward Zhao led several distinguished servants standing at the steps, all of them radiant and beaming with joy, listening to the young master giving instructions. The other maids and servants could only watch from a distance, engaging in lively discussions, their expressions filled with excitement

"Is President Shangguan Qiuyue beautiful?" Someone slammed the table and questioned, "You must be seeing things and making things up!"

Upon the safe return of the two individuals, everyone at Baisheng Mountain Villa was immensely pleased. Even Steward Zhao exceptionally allocated additional funds to the kitchen, allowing Aunt Hong to prepare a special feast to celebrate Lei Lei's survival after the ordeal. Lei Lei felt a deep sense of warmth as she recounted her "unfortunate experiences" in Qianyue Cave, as well as the process of how the young master single-handedly rescued her. With embellishments added to her tale, the listeners were captivated, and when she described how Shangguan Qiuyue employed the Passionate Technique, they all gasped in astonishment. She detailed her "unfortunate experiences" in Qianyue Cave and the young master's solo rescue, and with the story enhanced, the audience listened with great interest, particularly when she mentioned Shangguan Qiuyue's use of the Passionate Technique, prompting exclamations of surprise from all.

Xiao Xuan's window was opened wide and low, and a young man sat silently with a long sword resting on his knee, his icy expression unchanged over the years; he was indeed the same beautiful assassin from back then

Leilei came to her senses: "Who are you?"

In a moment of desperation, Lei Lei acted swiftly, throwing her arms around him tightly. Then, she tilted her face upwards, blinking her eyes, and looked at him with an innocent and pitiful gaze, reminiscent of a fawn, saying: "I am scared all alone."

Qin Liufeng looked at her hand and nodded, saying, "I said she doesn't look like a maid."

Leilei suddenly realized that he had been suspicious all along, which is why he wanted to transfer me away from "Xiaobai". How insidious!

Everyone believed it, feeling triumphant: "I haven't even used my final move yet, and that monster was so frightened that it fled!"

Qin Liufeng released her and walked over to sit down: "What a clever maid! But I remember that Brother Xiao does not require the service of women. It would be a pity to keep you here; why not come and serve me instead, how about that?"

On their first meeting, how could the handsome man be so affectionate towards her? Lei Lei was puzzled, but suddenly noticed the disdainful expression on the side of the cold and intoxicated talented woman, who seemed to be quite dismissive. In an instant, she understood and laughed; this talented woman clearly liked the charming and flirtatious scholars, yet insisted on putting on a facade of indifference

Behind stood a young man, adorned with a golden crown and a high forehead, his eyes filled with a teasing expression. His stature and age were similar to that of the young master, yet his attire was entirely different, being exceedingly splendid. He wore a snow-blue outer robe embroidered with golden edges and patterns, the sash loosely tied, revealing a hint of white inner clothing at the chest, which further accentuated his charming demeanor
