"It's like seeing a flower in the fog. You couldn't see the flower clearly back then, and you still can't see it clearly today." Xie Kanhua tilted his head back, took a sip of wine, then raised his head.
A man had been standing on the courtyard wall. He was wearing a dark green robe. There was no wind at the moment, but the robe fluttered in the wind. He looked about the same age as Xie Kanhua, but unlike Xie Kanhua's elegant and refined demeanor, this man's eyebrows were full of arrogance, an arrogance that looked down on the world and no one could compare to him. He looked down at Xie Kanhua and said faintly, "Seeing flowers in the fog?"
"I am in high spirits." Xie Kanhua raised his head and drank.
Su Baiyi murmured in a low voice: "Isn't this wine... a gift for me?"
Xie Kanhua put down the jar of wine, smiled and threw it back to Su Baiyi's feet, "Disciple, the rest is left to you. Otherwise, even if I don't drink it, it will be snatched away by this close friend in front of me, right? The owner of Chunfeng Tower, Helian Xiyue."
Su Baiyi scratched his head: "Master, you haven't mentioned this name."
"Seeing flowers in the fog, feeling proud in the spring breeze. We were once known as the two best in Shanglin, and have always been equally famous. You have heard me tell you about those romantic stories of wandering in the world, and at least half of them are actually stories about Helian Xiyue, so you have never heard of his name." Xie Kanhua replied.
Su Baiyi was stunned: "Very powerful?"
"Very impressive. I became famous for my swordsmanship, which is called 'Seeing Flowers in the Mist'. It is said in martial arts that no one can see the moment I draw my sword. And Helian Xiyue travels the world with his internal energy, which is called 'Spring Breeze'. Look at his robe dancing wildly without wind. It is the power of the spring breeze flowing around him, and anything close to him is shattered to pieces." Xie Kanhua's tone was relaxed, as if he was really just talking about a close friend, and even a bit of pride.
"I have a question."
"What's the problem?"
"Since everything close to him was shattered, why didn't his clothes get shattered? Shouldn't he be standing there naked?"
"Bai Yi, think again about what I said to you before they came."
Su Baiyi lowered his head hurriedly: "Don't say too much, don't say too much."
"In fact, I asked this question before, and then I was beaten so hard that I couldn't stand up for three days." Xie Kanhua jumped back to the two of them and suddenly held Su Baiyi's hand, "Don't draw your sword."
Although Su Baiyi had been chatting with Xie Kanhua, he had actually been quietly preparing to draw his sword. Unexpectedly, Xie Kanhua discovered him. He shook his head at Xie Kanhua and said firmly, "Master, I just thought about it and I think we can't let them take you away. Let's fight our way out. If we just want to escape, we still have a chance."
Xie Kanhua smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Believe Master, what I said is true. I won't die yet, and we will definitely meet again. Don't you think so?" Xie Kanhua turned his head and looked at Helian Xiyue who was standing on the courtyard wall.
Helian Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "Yes."
"I will leave with you, but you can't make things difficult for my students." Xie Kanhua threw the sword in his hand upwards.
Helian Xiyue's fluttering long sleeves finally fell down. He reached out and took the long sword, smiling: "Yes."
"No!" Su Baiyi suddenly shouted angrily, and jumped towards Helian Xiyue, with the long sword in his hand half drawn, "Master, I said. No!"
"Jun Yu Sword." A hint of tenderness flashed in Helian Xiyue's eyes, but there was no mercy in his hands. He waved his hand violently and knocked Su Baiyi away.
Before Su Baiyi could draw his sword, he and the sword crashed through the wooden window outside and fell into the school.
Xie Kanhua shook his head repeatedly: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I said I have the power of spring breeze, anything that comes close to me will be shattered into pieces."
"Master." Su Baiyi gritted his teeth and tried to stand up with the support of his sword.
"Let's go." Xie Kanhua leaped and landed on the courtyard wall.
Jie Kong picked up the crescent shovel and looked at Su Baiyi in the school, thoughtfully.
"Let's go!" Helian Xiyue looked at Jie Kong and emphasized his tone.
Jie Kong snorted coldly and walked out with Wen Xi. Helian Xiyue then took Xie Kanhua and left.
"This so-called success is too powerful." Su Baiyi struggled several times to stand up, but he was grimacing in pain. He had to sit here again to regulate his breathing. Half an hour later, the sound of a carriage was heard outside.
"You came back and are here to kill me?" Su Baiyi secretly hid the sword behind him.
A man in purple landed in the courtyard. Although the two were quite far apart, Su Baiyi could not see the man's face, but the figure looked familiar. After a moment, he realized, "It's you! You actually followed me here!"
"Where is your master?" asked the woman in purple.
"They were...caught!" Su Baiyi said anxiously, "Oh, I remember you are from the academy. Master asked me to go to the academy to find the Confucian Sage."
"Which direction did they go?" The woman in purple ignored the second half of his sentence.
"Heading north, they must be returning to Lintian Palace on Weilong Mountain." Su Baiyi replied.
The purple-clothed woman stepped onto the courtyard wall and looked into the distance.
"Girl, take me with you. I also want to save my master." Su Baiyi shouted.
"Li Kui, take this person back to the academy and treat him as a new disciple. I will arrange the rest after I return to the academy." The woman in purple said to the people below.
A short and stocky middle-aged man stood there holding the reins of the carriage. He was not Feng Zuojun who had robbed the man in green with the woman in purple that day. He nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
"Girl, the person who kidnapped Master is not an easy person to deal with. I'm afraid you can't handle it alone..." Su Baiyi reminded.
"We can't deal with you if you're included." The woman in purple snorted coldly, leaped up and disappeared from Su Baiyi's sight.
The short and strong man walked in from outside, looked at Su Baiyi on the ground, reached out and picked up Su Baiyi.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…” Su Baiyi screamed.
The short and strong man glanced at him with a cold expression: "With your incompetence, you still want to meet the Confucian sage?" He carried Su Baiyi out of the yard and threw him on the carriage.
Su Baiyi leaned there, breathing heavily: "Who is that girl, and why is she looking for my master too?"
"I can't say it because the girl didn't let me." The short and strong man replied coldly.
"But the girl didn't ask you not to say it, right? So it's not that you can't say it." Su Baiyi said patiently.
The short and strong man was an honest man. He thought for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense."
"Then tell me." Su Baiyi said anxiously.
The short and strong man turned the carriage in a different direction and threw the reins heavily: "But how would I know? The girl just asked me to help drive the carriage. I don't even know who your master is..."
Su Baiyi said helplessly: "My master is Xie Kanhua."
"Hahahahaha, your master is Xie Kanhua." The short and strong man changed his previous indifference and suddenly laughed, "You young man are really good at bragging, but my master is still Helian Xiyue!"
"What a coincidence, your master just left." Su Baiyi said sarcastically.
But the short and strong man didn't understand the sarcasm, and just said quietly: "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Xie Kanhua died in the battle between Shanglin Palace and Tianmen Holy Sect. How can a dead person be your master?"
