West wind, bright moon, small bridge, courtyard...
This was a beautiful scene that should not have been disturbed. Just as Zhanlong was embracing his lover in a blissful moment, a chaotic sound of horses' hooves came from afar. Bai Xuefei, with her excellent hearing, heard the noise and immediately signaled Zhanlong to stop. Zhanlong, however, was somewhat reluctant to leave, his hands still wrapped around her smooth, soft body, unwilling to let go. Bai Xuefei sat up, pulled back the curtains in front of the back window, and gazed intently into the distance.
A fast horse crossed the small bridge in the distance and galloped towards us. As it approached, the horse leaped over the fence in the backyard of the shop and entered the courtyard...
Zhanlong was startled and whispered, "Are there bandits?"
Bai Xuefei hurriedly urged Zhanlong to get dressed, while she quickly straightened her clothes, walked to the window, and quietly observed the situation outside.
Zhan Long quickly dressed and came over to see who had disturbed his good time. The first person to enter the courtyard, sitting firmly on his horse, called out, "Is anyone there? I am the special envoy from Taiyuan!"
Zhanlong felt the name was familiar, and upon closer inspection, he was shocked: "Isn't this Xiao Chuo?"
Although Xiao Chuo had changed into a sword-sleeved battle outfit today, she was still dressed as a man. Her proud spirit faced the wind and she was imposing without being angry, which made people respect her. Xiao Chuo had left a deep impression on Zhan Long. In addition, with the very conspicuous dragon sword pot behind her, Zhan Long recognized her at a glance.
Seeing Xiao Chuo, Bai Xuefei thought of her own important mission and thought, "Aunt Fenghuang has been waiting for that person for almost ten years. She said he would definitely come in the next few days, so she sent me back and forth between the Yongding River and the Yi River. Aunt said that if the person can't find you, he will definitely wait at Fulai Residence. But this person seems to be no more than twenty years old. He shouldn't be the person Aunt is waiting for. Could it be..."
At this moment, Xiao Chuo had already gone around to the front and knocked on the door knocker.
Bai Xuefei said to Zhanlong, "Sixth Brother, this person came prepared. I don't know their true identities yet. Go out and deal with them for me. Remember, first serve her a pot of tea, and charge ten taels of silver for each pot. If he gives you fifty taels, then act accordingly."
Zhanlong kissed Bai Xuefei's cheek to indicate that he understood, but Xiao Chuo recognized him and he couldn't just leave like that. So he took two white towels, wrapped one around his head and draped the other over his shoulder. He then smeared ink on his face and called out in a low voice, "Guests outside, please wait a moment, we're here!"
Zhanlong opened the door, let Xiao Chuo in, and asked, "Would you like to eat or stay at the inn, sir?"
Xiao Chuo, naturally not wanting to be outdone, glanced at Zhan Long and said, "How can you be so dirty? How am I supposed to eat?"
Zhanlong said, "The fire just went out, so there's nothing left for you to eat."
Xiao Chuo frowned and asked again, "How many guest rooms do you have here? I need to stay at the inn."
Zhanlong chuckled and said, "There's only one guest room, which I've taken. If you don't mind, we can squeeze in..."
Xiao Chuo was displeased upon hearing this and was about to get angry, but then she remembered that the man didn't know she was dressed as a man, so how could she blame him? However, such words sounded really awkward. How could she, a dignified princess and the leader of the Black Tiger Hall, share a room with such a servant? She casually asked, "So what do you have here?"
Zhanlong quickly replied, "I have some excellent tea here, ten taels a pot, but it's getting late, so it'll cost extra, fifty taels a pot. Do you want some?"
Bai Xuefei, who was inside the room, said angrily, "What? How can you exchange secret signals like this? You reveal your hand before the other person can even give the signal."
Xiao Chuo sat down by the window and said, "Then bring me a pot of tea first."
The war dragon roared, "Wait a moment!"
He returned smugly to report back, but Bai Xuefei pulled Zhanlong aside and complained, "You're so stupid! How can you exchange secret signals like that? Which one of them do you expect me to believe?"
Zhanlong, however, knew exactly what he wanted. He most hoped Xiao Chuo would also come to the Floating Island. Her arrival would completely disrupt the island's power structure, and with Bai Xuefei's help, he believed they could rescue Si Niang. So Zhanlong argued, "Didn't you say you wanted to sell him for fifty taels? He's dressed lavishly; he's a wealthy man and wouldn't be stingy. I wanted to extort more, but I was afraid it would jeopardize your plans..."
Bai Xuefei sighed and said, "Forget it, you stay here, I'll do it."
He took the tray, poured a pot of tea, and took it outside, saying, "The tea is here, please enjoy."
Xiao Chuo smiled slightly at the beautiful and charming Bai Xuefei and said, "Oh, I didn't expect the owner of my shop to be such a beautiful young lady. It's a pleasure to meet you! I've come here specifically to pay my respects to Island Master Bai."
"Here is my pass."
As Xiao Chuo spoke, he took out a waist token carved with dragons and phoenixes from his waist. Bai Xuefei recognized it as a token personally issued by her father. There were four such tokens in total, and this young master surnamed Xiao actually had one, so he must be a good friend of her father. So she nodded to Xiao Chuo and said, "Seeing the waist token is like seeing the person. This is indeed my father's token. However, my father happened to be away a few days ago."
Bai Xuefei lied, and then looked at Xiao Chuo's expression.
Xiao Chuo replied, "Then I want to see Bai Fenghuang."
Bai Xuefei said with difficulty, "Young Master Xiao, I am really sorry, but my aunt has always had a strange temper. She stays in Phoenix Tower all day long and rarely has contact with outsiders. Although you are my father's honored guest, given her temper, she will not see you. I can take you to the island. If you have something important to do, you can go to my second uncle."
Xiao Chuo nodded and asked, "Are there any other people in your little shop? I remember there should be an old man surnamed Hai..."
No sooner had Xiao Chuo finished speaking than a strange scream came from the backyard. The scream was desolate and shrill, carried by the night wind, sending chills down one's spine. Then an old voice cried out, "Who wants to find this old geezer? And who did this to me? Who smashed my head like this? I'm going to kill you..."
Zhanlong was startled, thinking, "This old sea turtle is still alive? My goodness! I clearly remember smashing his head with a rock, and he's still not dead?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuo rushed to the backyard and saw a man emerge from the dry well, his hair disheveled, covered in blood, a knife protruding from his chest, half his head distorted into a pancake shape. He was dragging the millstone used to cover the well with one hand, and, filled with rage, he walked step by step towards the back window. Xiao Chuo asked, "Are you Hai Tianfu?"
When Hai Tianfu heard someone call his name, he paused for a moment, then immediately went berserk and hurled the millstone at Xiao Chuo.
Zhan Long thought to himself, "That old sea turtle is really something. That millstone must weigh at least three or four hundred pounds. If he threw it with all his might, it would have at least the force of a thousand pounds. If it hit me, I'd be turned into a meat pie." While worrying about Xiao Chuo, Zhan Long suddenly realized that Xiao Chuo might be the special envoy sent by Cheng Shijie to retrieve the map. Then he thought that Cheng Shijie had already secretly surrendered to the Liao Dynasty, so it made sense for Xiao Chuo to come to retrieve the map in person. No wonder she was so eager to find out the old sea turtle's whereabouts; she didn't know that the old sea turtle had failed.
In that instant, Bai Xuefei exclaimed, "Young Master Xiao, be careful! This Hai Tianfu has betrayed my father!"
Xiao Chuo was incredibly clever. She immediately realized that Hai Tianfu had been exposed and that she absolutely could not reveal her own identity. In addition, she had to get rid of Hai Tianfu alive. So she twisted her waist, grabbed her hands, and shouted, "Open!"
At the same time, using the "Disarming" technique of the Nan Hua Imperial Sword, he caught the millstone with both hands and twisted his waist to dissipate the domineering force, then threw the millstone aside.
Hai Tianfu was unaware of what was happening outside. After being knocked unconscious by Zhan Long, he was then smashed on the head with a stone. However, thanks to his profound protective skills, he awoke to find himself in a dry well, suffering severe external injuries. The poison Xiao Guizi had given him was also beginning to take effect. So, the old man suppressed his hatred and used Kui Luo to heal his body. At the same time, he heard warhorses entering from outside. Although the newcomers introduced themselves, the old sea turtle did not recognize Xiao Chuo, nor did he know about the close relationship between Xiao Chuo and Cheng Shijie. After resting for a while, feeling that his body had almost recovered, he was eager to go up and take revenge on Zhan Long. Just as he climbed up, he heard someone asking his name. By this time, the old sea turtle's eyes were bloodshot. Hearing that Xiao Chuo was coming, he didn't care about anything else, threw out the millstone, and roared, "Asura Netherworld Wave!"
Eight magnificent Kui Luos immediately rose above his head, condensing into a rotating wheel. Then, thousands upon thousands of fierce-looking ghosts emerged, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Xiao Chuo.
Xiao Chuo hadn't expected Hai Tianfu to be an eighth-level master of the Asura Realm. However, to conceal her own identity, she had to make the painful decision to kill him to prevent him from revealing his true identity. She flicked her wrist, releasing six flying swords simultaneously, a dazzling display of sword light and shadow, a chaotic dance of lights. Xiao Chuo used the best defensive technique of sword control, "Shattering Gold Technique," slashing at the attacking ghosts with a flurry of sword shadows. With a soft shout, she gripped a sword, pressed forward with lightning speed, breaking through the encirclement of thousands of ghosts to reach Hai Tianfu. If Hai Tianfu hadn't been blind, he might have been able to fight Xiao Chuo, but being blind, especially with her opponent's renownedly swift Nan Hua sword control, he couldn't wait for Xiao Chuo to change her defense. With a single swing of her sword, Hai Tianfu's head rolled off, his corpse falling to the ground.
As Xiao Chuo gracefully returned to the house, she waved and retrieved the other five flying swords. The moment she flew back to the house, the thousands of ghosts had vanished into thin air. Zhan Long was shocked and thought to himself, "I've seen Second Sister-in-law use four flying swords before, and I found it unbelievable. I never imagined that Xiao Chuo would not only be beautiful but also have such ability, being able to control six flying swords at the same time. If Sixth Master were to have a fling with such a woman, I wonder what it would be like. It would definitely be incredibly enjoyable!"
Xiao Chuo sat down and said to Bai Xuefei as if nothing had happened, "Miss Bai, I have already killed this traitor."
Zhanlong thought to himself, "You're really good at fooling people. I'm not in a hurry to expose you now, but I want to see what amazing skills you have that make you dare to go to the Floating Island."
He walked over and personally served Xiao Chuo a bowl of cool tea, praising, "Young Master Xiao, you are amazing! Thanks to you, otherwise my young lady and I would have been in trouble. Young lady, since Young Master Xiao has been so kind in helping us, let's hurry up and get to the island."
Zhanlong was still concerned about the safety of his eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and fourth sister-in-law, so he urged Bai Xuefei to act quickly. At the same time, he thought it would be best if Xiao Chuo came along. Although Song and Liao were irreconcilable enemies, the current situation was all aimed at the Floating Island. Even if Xiao Chuo didn't help, her unparalleled martial arts skills could be used to disrupt the situation if necessary.
Bai Xuefei had no idea what Zhan Long was thinking. She glanced at Xiao Chuo, who was quite forthright. Xiao Chuo drank the cold tea that Zhan Long had offered in one gulp and said to Bai Xuefei, "Please make the arrangements, Miss Bai."
Seeing that Xiao Chuo had finished the tea he had offered, Zhan Long thought to himself: Hehe, I put some high-tech aphrodisiac in here from the 21st century. Even if you have great skills, it'll be enough to keep you going for a while. If you can't hold on when the time comes, just come find me! Sixth Master is an expert in detoxification. He just cured one today.
A small boat carrying the three of them sailed towards the floating island. The eastern sky was already showing the first light of dawn. Bai Xuefei rowed thoughtfully, thinking about how her aunt had waited for that person for nearly ten years, only to find she hadn't seen him in the end. Zhan Long sat on the gunwale, secretly memorizing Bai Xuefei's route and occasionally observing Xiao Chuo's expression.
He noticed that Xiao Chuo was quite carefree, standing at the stern of the ship, gazing up at the towering Seven Phoenix Tower on the floating island, and reciting with considerable emotion: "Phoenixes once roamed the Phoenix Terrace, but now the tower is empty and love remains. The phoenix wished to be a divine companion, but grudges have been forgotten and tears have flowed in vain. Ten years ago, Lan Mengtang, the swordsman of Tianshan, and Bai Fenghuang, the most beautiful woman in the world, met and fell in love. If it weren't for Chai Shizong's interference, the story of the talented scholar and the beautiful woman, a perfect match, would have long been a legend. What a pity..."
Bai Xuefei snorted and said, "If you don't know the details, don't make rash comments. It will make others feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Chuo shook her head and smiled, "I've always thought so. Back then, Emperor Chai Shizong fell in love with Bai Fenghuang at first sight, to the point that he couldn't eat or drink. Of course, Bai Songlin would have preferred to give his sister to the emperor rather than Lan Mengtang. Lan Mengtang was a master of martial arts and a dashing gentleman, but unfortunately, he shouldn't have gotten involved in officialdom. It was precisely because of his unwavering loyalty to Emperor Chai Shizong that he and Bai Fenghuang left behind this eternal regret. Am I wrong?"
Bai Xuefei gave a bitter smile, thinking to herself, "How could you know that Aunt Bai is not actually my biological aunt, but rather Chai Shizong's biological sister?"
