Chapter 23: Open the title page

Looking at the momentum, Yue Hongling thought that some high-level bandits had come to the stronghold, maybe the stronghold owner.

But when the big man approached, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she was dumbfounded.

Zhao, Zhao Changhe

This Zhao Changhe with a beard and scar on his face... looks so strange.

Zhao Changhe used his Blood Evil Skill to run at full speed, and found that although he had never learned any Qinggong, this speed was indeed much faster, but it was easy to get tired. The mountain village was actually relatively close to Zhangzhuang, and it took about ten minutes to run there, but he was already exhausted and out of breath.

He stood in front of Luo Qi with sweat all over his forehead, looking at Yue Hongling. He wanted to say something, but he was panting and couldn't speak for a while.

Yue Hongling's expression is pretty cute...

Snowflakes drifted by, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment. Luo Qi behind Zhao Changhe tilted his head.

Yue Hongling's surprised expression gradually faded, and he became a little indifferent: "So that's how it is. You are actually in the Beimang branch. I was blinded by the light and never thought of this place."

Zhao Changhe asked, "Your first reaction was to go to Master Xue to ask for the person?"

"I thought you were dead at that time." Yue Hongling did not hide the fact: "I regret sending the simple young man who had just been rescued from the wolf's mouth into the tiger's den. I could have taken you away, and you also wanted to worship me as a master. It was because I wanted to be free that I left you in Luojia Village... When I thought you were dead, I felt angry and blamed myself for a moment, which is really unspeakable to outsiders. I don't know if I can be a match for Xue Canghai, but I know that I will feel uneasy if I don't go to him to ask for an explanation."

really.

The Book of Troubled Times shines in the night sky, Yue Hongling chases Xue Canghai for thousands of miles... That battle was really for him, Zhao Changhe.

Zhao Changhe sighed: "Later, you must have heard about the murderer Zhao Changhe. What do you think? Should you regret sending this bastard to the Luo family and harming Luo Zhenwu?"

Yue Hongling looked at him quietly for a long while, then sighed slightly: "No. I heard what you said when the incident happened, and I know that Luo Zhenwu was the one who did the Zhaocuo incident, and you were seeking revenge. So I think you followed the Blood God Cult and had no choice but to enter a bandit's den. That shouldn't be your place. These days, I have searched for all the Blood God Cult dens I have heard of, hoping to bring you out... But I never thought that you were actually in Beimang."

Zhao Changhe's throat moved and he whispered, "Thank you."

Luo Qi tilted his head and watched from behind. He felt that if he were Zhao Changhe, he would indeed be moved. Unfortunately, he was not Zhao Changhe. Now he felt that Yue Hongling was becoming more and more hateful.

You don't know this man at all, why are you so loyal? Are you responsible if the man's soul is seduced away

But Yue Hongling said: "But now it seems that you are doing well? The Blood Evil Skill you practiced seems to have reached a high level... In just one month..."

Zhao Changhe whispered: "If you don't learn magic skills, you can't protect yourself."

Yue Hongling said, "If that's all... you haven't been possessed by the devil for long yet, so you can still turn back. No one will care about the wanted order anymore after some time. You can just hide your identity and live a normal life."

"Hide your real name?" Zhao Changhe suddenly laughed: "Sister Yue... Miss Yue, I won't hide it from you. Let alone whether I can turn back now, hiding my real name is not what I want. Zhao Changhe did not come to this world to travel around the countryside."

The murderer, Zhao Changhe!

These six words flashed through Yue Hongling’s mind.

In just one month, that innocent boy was already dead? No, he was never an innocent boy.

So if we meet again in the world, I will never hear you call me sister again.

"So... is this why you came to help the bandits today?" Yue Hongling's eyes gradually became sharper: "Are you saying that once you are in the devil's cave, you have no choice?"

Zhao Changhe replied calmly: "No, it's just because she is behind me."

Luo Qi's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously.

Yue Hongling couldn't tell what gender "TA" was, so she thought Zhao Changhe was being loyal: "Is this person your friend?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Life and death depend on each other."

Luo Qi started to smile.

Yue Hongling was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "This man didn't hurt anyone, and the women in the manor are fine too... You guys go... We once had a connection, but now we are strangers. Just treat the boy I've been chasing for the past month as dead. If I run into him doing evil next time, I won't show mercy to him, even if it's you."

After saying this, he jumped on his horse and was about to leave.

She had traveled thousands of miles in the past month, despite wind, frost, snow and rain, looking for that boy. She even came to Beimang this time just to try her luck... But she didn't expect that their next meeting would be like this. The boy she was looking for stood in front of her for someone else, and almost drew his sword to fight. Even Luo Qi felt a little regretful at this time. Looking at the red dress, he always felt an indescribable desolation.

But Zhao Changhe raised his voice and said, "Miss Yue, some things are not what you think. For example, Zhang Zhuang has many evil deeds, no less than Luo Zhenwu. My brother has found a lot of evidence in advance, so you don't need to worry about this matter. As for other things..."

Yue Hongling reined in his horse and looked back, wanting to see what else he could say.

Zhao Changhe paused, then suddenly smiled and said, "If we meet again in the future, I probably won't be able to call you sister, because I asked someone and found out that you are actually two months younger than me."

Yue Hongling: “…”

Zhao Changhe smiled: "But it may not be a stranger... I have always been grateful that the first person I saw in this world was the chivalrous Yue Hongling. So no matter how this world makes me feel, the world in my heart is always there."

Yue Hongling's eyes were somewhat surprised, but he suddenly laughed and rode away: "Then I will wait and see what kind of reputation Zhao Changhe, who was said to have created a chaotic world with a single sword strike, will have in the future."

"The troubled times are already there." Zhao Changhe replied calmly, "At most, I just opened the title page of the book of troubled times."

These words were quite interesting. Not only Yue Hongling, but even Luo Qi were looking at him from behind as if they had just met. Looking at their expressions, they almost wanted to pat him on the shoulder and say, "Not bad, you're quite cultured," but they forced themselves to hold back.

It feels like Zhao Changhe has a bit of literary air when facing Yue Hongling... But Yue Hongling himself is obviously not a cultured person, but a typical gangster, the kind who has not read many books at all.

really weird.

Yue Hongling wanted to say something, but she felt that she had nothing to say. At this point, it was all about action. There was no point in saying more.

But before he had ridden his horse far, the sunset glow in the distant sky suddenly became like a fire, illuminating half the sky red, and then faded away very quickly. The sun set in the west and it soon became dark.

Yue Hongling frowned slightly and whispered: "Suzaku... She also came to Beimang? What secrets are there here..."

Zhao Changhe's heart moved, and he shouted loudly: "Miss Yue."

Yue Hongling turned around and heard Zhao Changhe ask, "Miss Yue, you have been around the world and have seen a lot. Do you know where the center of the formation is in the shape of the Azure Dragon and the Seven Stars?"

"Usually it's Xinsu." Yue Hongling answered casually, without wanting to talk more, and finally left.

Yue Hongling is not a reckless person. With her strength, if she were blocked by Venerable Suzaku, she would be in big trouble.

She is only at the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, while the Suzaku Reverend is...

Earth list.

He is one of the top masters in the whole world.

After watching Yue Hongling disappear into the night, Zhao Changhe finally turned around and looked at Luo Qi with burning eyes.

Luo Qi also looked at him with burning eyes.

For his own sake, Zhao Changhe almost broke up with Yue Hongling...

The Jianghu in his dreams, the heroine in his dreams...are not as good as her, Luo Qi.

To be honest, no one could predict Yue Hongling's thoughts. That little bit of history was nothing. If you look closely, they didn't have any friendship at all. Instead, Zhao Changhe owed her a favor. If she was really disappointed, it wouldn't be surprising if she drew her sword and killed Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe was just daring to risk his life in front of her.

Luo Qi felt warm in her heart. She thought that Zhao Changhe was going to say something nice to her at this moment. If he said something that made people happy, then it would be okay for him to hold her in his arms while sleeping at night.

But Zhao Changhe said, "Suzaku is here. She is most likely here to lead the excavation of the secret. We must act immediately tonight. It will be too late."

Luo Qi's face strangely turned pale and he bit his lower lip tightly.
