C313 An Qiao Village's Meeting

No hesitation, no hesitation, but the sword stopped in midair.

Xue Pinggu and old master Ji were surprised. "It's you!"

Duan Tianya sheathed his sword and smiled. "Of course it's me!"

Xue Pinggu was shocked. "Didn't you already. . . "

"Am I already dead?" Duan Tianya smiled slyly.

He was indeed close to dying. Just like Huizi had said, it was all thanks to the cat claw that he was able to lie on the wall. Otherwise, he would have been dead.

However, after probing, it could be seen that Xue Pinggu did not hate old master Ji as much as she did on the surface. In fact, in times of danger, she could not help but block in front of him. This was also the main reason why Xue Pinggu didn't seek revenge on old master Ji all those years ago.

It wasn't that she couldn't, but that she didn't want to.

At this moment, a trace of loneliness appeared on Xue Pinggu's face. She didn't want to admit what she had done just now. She furiously struck out with her palm and hit old master Ji's chest, sending him flying more than three meters away.

For old master Ji to have today's status, other than having the ability to plan strategies and strategies, his martial arts naturally wouldn't be too bad. He should be able to dodge Xue Pinggu's palm strike, but he didn't dodge it. Instead, he willingly received the palm strike.

Xue Pinggu scolded, "Leave this place immediately. I don't want to see you again. "

Even if old master Ji was unwilling to leave, he had to because Xue Pinggu had already left. It was meaningless for him to stay any longer.

When everyone saw Duan Tianya, the stone in their hearts finally fell. Zhuh Wushuang and Choo Xianyun cried with joy. To them, the concern in their hearts could not be expressed with just a few words. Red Scorpion was not surprised by his appearance at all. He believed that his man would not die so easily.

Duan Tianya still did not return to Zhuh's Mansion. There were too many people looking for him. Some came because of his name, some came to visit him, and some pointed out his name. It was very troublesome, so he could only choose to stay away from the limelight for the time being.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Huizi also had to leave with him. Otherwise, the next time Shenzong Xin came, he would definitely take her away.

This time, Duan Tianya chose to hide in Anqiao Stronghold for a few days. He brought a lot of gold and silver with him. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts push the mill. If he wanted to live a stable life in Anqiao Stronghold, how could he not bring some money to buy roads?

Ann Shiji was still as generous as before, and the people of Anqiao Stronghold were still as comfortable as before.

Ann Shiji was very happy to see Duan Tianya. Although he had said that he would come back when he left in a hurry, and it had been a little longer, he had fulfilled his promise.

The Anqiao Stronghold was bustling with noise and excitement. The gold and silver that he had brought had no effect on Ann Shiji. He had given the gold and silver to the people in the stockade, which was also the reason why he was loved by them.

It was late into the night, in the hall of the Anqiao Stronghold. Only Ann Shiji, Duan Tianya, and Huizi had left. The rest of the people had left.

Ann Shiji raised a bowl of wine and said, "This time you will stay here for a month to pay for what you owe last time. "

Duan Tianya also raised a bowl of wine and replied, "I wish I could. "

Both of them drank the wine in one gulp. Ann Shiji wiped his mouth and said, "I have heard some things about you in the martial arts world. You can be considered to have a lot of glory now!" After saying that, he laughed loudly.

Duan Tianya sighed lightly. Although he had only interacted with Ann Shiji once when he was investigating Yaen Shunba, he knew what kind of person Ann Shiji was. He was rough, righteous, and heroic. He was a friend worth making. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to come to Anqiao Stronghold this time.

Ann Shiji saw him sigh, so he said straightforwardly, "Are you worried about that Eastern Ocean Swordsman?"

Duan Tianya was puzzled and asked, "You know about him?"

Ann Shiji smiled and said, "Although I rarely have dealings with the outside world in Anqiao Stronghold, I still know some things about the martial world. " Then he changed the topic and said, "It seems that he will be competing with someone in Kunlun Mountain in a few days. "

Duan Tianya said, "Do you know the person who will be competing?"

Ann Shiji shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know a little. "

"Oh? Tell me about it. "

Ann Shiji pulled out a drumstick and placed it on the table with his elbow. He said, "The opponent of the Japanese assassin is called Tao Zheng. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "But the Tao Zheng who ran away because he felt something was wrong?"

Ann Shiji nodded and said, "It's him!"

Duan Tianya was puzzled and said, "Tao Zheng has always been a coward. Why is he showing off so much this time?"

Unexpectedly, Ann Shiji laughed and said, "You do not know this. That kid was scolded by his wife. She said that he was afraid of death and was as timid as a mouse. In a fit of anger, he made an appointment with that East Ocean Blade Master. "

Duan Tianya also laughed and said, "This is very interesting. "

Tao Zheng was indeed an interesting person. He was famous for his cowardice in the martial arts world. He would run away when there was a slight disturbance. Therefore, the martial arts world gave him the nickname 'Tao Fei Leg'. Tao Zheng had been carrying such a sarcastic nickname for more than ten years.

No one wanted to be looked down upon. Some chose to remain silent, while others chose to explode when they couldn't stand it anymore.

After drinking for an unknown period of time, Huizi was a little tired, so she went back to rest first. Ann Shiji sent people to prepare a good room for her. It was clean and tidy inside, and all the items used by women could be found.

When Huizi left, Ann Shiji suddenly came close to Duan Tianya and said mysteriously, "I will bring you to see someone. "

Duan Tianya was very curious and asked, "Who is it?"

Ann Shiji kept him in suspense and said, "You will know when you see him. "

Ann Shiji brought Duan Tianya to the outside of the stockade. He took many turns and came to an empty land. This empty land was surrounded by tall wooden stakes. There were lights all around. There was a wooden house to the south. There was a person standing in front of the wooden house. This person seemed to have waited for Duan Tianya for a long time.

When Duan Tianya saw this person, he said in surprise, "Du Buyue!"

Du Buyue looked much better. He was dressed in tight black clothes and looked very neat and tidy. Although his right hand could not be heavy, it was not difficult for him to pick up the sword.

Du Buyue said, "I didn't expect you to be the real Duan Tianya. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "It does not seem too late to know now. "

Du Buyue said, "Thank you for your gold. "

Duan Tianya said, "You still have to thank yourself. "

Du Buyue raised the sword in his hand and said, "I really want to experience your sword technique. "

Duan Tianya said, "But your injuries are not healed yet. "

Du Buyue said, "But my left hand is still intact. "

Duan Tianya asked, "Your left hand is not as good as your right hand. "

Du Buyue said in return, "What is it? Are you looking down on my left hand?"

Duan Tianya smiled. "Since you are so confident in your left hand, let me have a taste. " After saying that, he also handed the sword to his left hand.

Du Buyue's face changed and said, "Why is that?"
