Shangguan Yaohua froze on the spot. He had made thousands of hypotheses, but he never expected that the other party would say something like this. Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't believe that Young Master Ping would really think that he wasn't in his room in the middle of the night and went to relieve himself. He was obviously giving him a way out, but why was he so magnanimous? If Young Master Ping had persevered a little longer, he would have been the one to surrender.
He lay on his bed with a heart full of questions. He couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, and this time he really couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned all the way until dawn, but didn't fall asleep even once. When he got up, he was extremely weak and yawned continuously. Nangong Xue met the two in the corridor and saw that he had two large dark circles under his eyes. She asked curiously, "Ah Hua, did you not rest well last night?" Shangguan Yaohua waved his hand and vaguely brushed it off.
The three of them took a horse carriage and arrived at the center of the street. Suddenly, a burst of fragrance assailed their noses and seeped into the carriage. Young Master Ping looked around and said, "I see that the pancake outside is very good. Why don't I buy a few to satisfy my hunger on the way?" He dismounted from his horse and walked over.
Shangguan Yaohua said, "We'll have to trouble you." As soon as Young Master Ping turned around, he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around. He saw that Young Master Ping stopped in front of the pancake stall and didn't talk to anyone else. He was secretly curious. He turned his gaze and saw that Nangong Xue was staring at him without blinking. He muttered, "Ah Xue, don't you think that Young Master Ping — — is very strange?"
As soon as he said this, Nangong Xue's face darkened. She said, "What's wrong with you? I think that no matter how strange Young Master Ping is, he can't compare to you. How can you call yourself a real man when you act so sneakily? At first, he was the one who helped us get out of trouble. His intelligence and knowledge are better than yours. You feel pressured because he stole your limelight. Is that why you want to offend him? Listening to your sarcastic words, even I feel embarrassed for you. "
Shangguan Yaohua said unhappily, "What, do you really believe his one-sided story? He's a stranger of unknown origins. You don't know anything about his family and background. Has he ever been honest with you? When the Seven Demons traveled with you and Alliance Master Li, didn't they also seem sincere on the surface, but what was the result? I don't know what's so good about this Master Ping...... I … Hmph, I once saw him and the disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect with their arms around each other's shoulders. Could it be that I have wronged him? "
Nangong Xue said, "Once a person has established himself in Jianghu, whether he is willing or not, there will always be some relationship that benefits him. As long as he is willing to help us and treat us well, that is enough. ..................
Shangguan Yaohua took a deep breath and said, "He's playing the role of a powerless rich young master who's following his father's orders to do business, isn't he? ...... Nn............................ I don't know much about martial arts. Based on your judgment, is he a martial artist or not? "
Nangong Xue said coldly, "I'm sorry, but I don't see anything strange about him. If you're prejudiced from the start, then there will be flaws everywhere. Since you don't know much about it, how can you comment on it? Let's take a step back. Even if he did learn martial arts, so what? Which aristocratic family doesn't teach their descendants martial arts? For someone like you, who has only practiced a few basic martial arts moves, the only difference is the difference in strength. "
Shangguan Yaohua was furious. She was angry because Nangong Xue didn't understand the situation and because Master Ping's evil plan had succeeded. She said angrily, "You … you long-haired, short-sighted woman. You're unreasonable! No wonder Li Yijie can't stand you. Any normal person with a bit of self-respect can't stand you. I think you're too kind. You're just stupid. Others want to be the supreme ruler of the world, but you want to be the savior of the world. What's the difference? Since you like Master Ping so much, why don't you marry him and live with him? I guarantee you that in less than a year, you'll eat his skin and flesh, and even his bones won't be left! "
Nangong Xue's body shook violently. She leaned back slightly and leaned against the wall behind her. A few drops of sparkling and translucent tears rolled in her big eyes. Shangguan Yaohua knew that his words had hurt her. His heart softened and he said, "Alright, just pretend I didn't say anything. However, I still believe in my judgment. That Master Ping isn't a good person. Why don't … we think of an idea to test him? "
Nangong Xue didn't want to quarrel with him. She said patiently, "How do we test him?" She still didn't feel reassured and added, "Don't do anything weird. If you go overboard, it'll be hard to clean up the mess."
Shangguan Yaohua snorted and said, "Let's bribe a few assassins to assassinate him. In a life and death situation, we can't hide our instincts. When the time comes, we'll know who he is. If he doesn't have any evil intentions, this move won't really hurt him. Moreover, it can completely dispel my suspicions. Isn't that a good thing? "
When Nangong Xue heard the word "assassinate", she made a rash judgment and cried out in alarm, "No! You … are you crazy? He treats us with sincerity. If you dare to do something so absurd, I … I'll break off all relations with you! Don't you think you're being too selfish by risking other people's lives just because of your baseless suspicions? "
Shangguan Yaohua's face darkened and he said, "Because of what you said, I want to prove to you that I'm being selfish, or that I'm smart! Just you wait, I'll definitely expose Master Ping's true colors! " Nangong Xue glared at him angrily. Small sparks seemed to be colliding in the carriage and the atmosphere was tense.
At this moment, Master Ping suddenly poked his head in from outside the carriage and handed over two pieces of fried pancakes. He smiled and said, "What's going on here? It seems like you guys are quarreling? "
Shangguan Yaohua thought, "Oh no, this guy comes and goes like a ghost. When did he come back? I don't know how much of what I said about him just now was heard by him. I don't care, but I'm afraid that he'll be on guard … "
At the same time, he also felt that "dirty linen should not be aired in public". No matter how bad the quarrel was, he and Nangong Xue were still on the same side. How could he fall for Master Ping's trick of sowing discord? He quickly eased his expression and said, "No, who said we were quarreling? We're very close. We were just calmly discussing some issues … am I right, Xue? "
Nangong Xue glared at him. She did not want to make a fool of herself in front of Master Ping, so she replied, "Yes, we were arguing about what kind of pancakes would taste better."
Master Ping laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect the two of you to be so childish. I bought two kinds of pancakes, but I don't know if they'll suit your tastes. " As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Yaohua and Nangong Xue had already snatched the pancakes and started eating them in big bites. It was as if the pancakes were the source of their quarrel. Master Ping was dumbfounded. He could not help but burst into laughter.
Shangguan Yaohua had already taken root in her mind about the matter of hiring an assassin. However, seeing that Nangong Xue was also resolute, she did not dare to rashly oppose her, so she put it aside for the rest of the journey. When night fell, she suddenly heard a faint creaking sound from under the bed. It seemed to be hiding some restless secret.
Before she could say anything, Master Ping beside her said, "What, you heard it too? Why don't we take a look? Maybe we'll find something strange. " As she spoke, she slapped the bed board. In an instant, it was as if a mechanism had been activated. A black shadow immediately jumped out from under the bed and slashed with a knife. At the same time, the window opened and a few men in black jumped in. The weapons in their hands gleamed coldly under the night sky.
Shangguan Yaohua was puzzled. She knew that she did not hire this group of assassins. Moreover, based on Nangong Xue's personality, it was impossible. Could it be that Master Ping had some enemies who were waiting here to cause trouble for her?
Before she could sort out her thoughts, there was a flash of sparks above her head. Two large knives slashed at one spot in the air. Master Ping raised his hand and pushed the two men's wrists. Following the momentum, he turned his body backward and somersaulted. With a flick of his finger, several cold rays of light flew out. The men in black who were charging at the front were immediately hit and fell to the ground.
These two moves were done in one go. It was extremely clean. Shangguan Yaohua exclaimed in surprise, "Good skills! You … you really know martial arts? "These two sentences were put together, making one want to laugh.
Master Ping said, "I practiced some superficial moves in my early years. I don't know how much I still remember." As he leaned his body, the tip of his foot swept horizontally. The two men were kicked to one side and fell to the ground. Looking at the ruthlessness of his attack and the nimbleness of his body, one would not be able to execute these moves well unless one had a deep understanding of martial arts. Shangguan Yaohua saw that Master Ping was many times stronger than himself. For a moment, he did not know whether to be surprised or to sigh.
Before he could be in a daze for a long time, Master Ping suddenly turned around in the air and nimbly leaped onto the bed. Along with a few men in black, they pounced on him. Their knives flashed. Master Ping dodged left and right. His head tilted back and the steel knife in front of him stabbed into the wall. Then, he turned his body and kicked out with the tip of his foot. "Bang!" It hit the man's chest. That person let out a miserable scream and flew straight out. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and the door slammed heavily on his body. He watched as the man fell and rolled a few times before he stopped moving.
Shangguan Yaohua suddenly saw that Master Ping had stopped his attack. His body flashed and he retreated to the back. Another man in black swung his sword. Shangguan Yaohua was able to parry a few moves. The man next to him flipped his steel knife downwards and chopped the bed in two. Shangguan Yaohua staggered and fell to the ground, retreating to the corner of the room. Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, they closed in on Young Master Ping, but he did not move at all. He was puzzled. "Wasn't this kid very powerful just now? How come he suddenly became a coward? "
A flash of sword light appeared behind him. He saw a shadow dashing forward from the side. With a few slashes, the shadow parried the men in black's attack. That person was Nangong Xue. Shangguan Yaohua saw that the situation was unclear. "Ah Xue, it's dangerous here. Don't come over!" he said anxiously.
Nangong Xue glared at him and attacked even more fiercely. With a 'chi' sound, the man in black closest to her had a cut on his shoulder. With a 'pu' sound, her sword pierced another man's calf. After a few moves, she had forced most of her enemies to retreat. Nangong Xue turned her long sword and blocked Master Ping. "Who dares to come forward to die? Don't blame me for being impolite! "
The group of men in black did not expect her martial arts to be so high. They looked at each other and retreated hastily. They picked up their heavily injured comrades and jumped out of the window.
Shangguan Yaohua admired Nangong Xue so much. He smiled and said, "Xue, you are really amazing …" Before he finished his words, he saw that Nangong Xue's eyes, which used to be gentle, were now covered with a layer of darkness. She looked at him with deep hatred and disdain.
At that moment, he felt as if he had been punched hard. His chest hurt so much that he could barely stand. He wanted to say something, but Nangong Xue suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face. His face was slapped to one side, and she scolded, "Are you done messing around? Do you think that bullying the weak is fun? "she scolded him.
