There’s No Such Thing as Love in a Swordsman’s Heart

The owner of the ghost city stared at Jiang Su for a long time with his eyes wide open, and then asked in a trembling voice, "...wife?"

He swallowed, feeling that the matter was not simple.

What wife? There are only a few big men here, what kind of wife can they have?

The person he met... Could it be Li Hanshan? !

The owner of the ghost market suddenly remembered what Hua Shiqing said to him when he came here just now. Someone pretended to be Lu Jiu and sneaked into the ghost market, and this person had an intimate and ambiguous relationship with a young man who claimed to be the young master of the Demon Sect, which really aroused suspicion.

Well, the wife he mentioned is most likely Li Hanshan.

Today's young people are really amazing. In the past, even if they were in the evil way, breaking their sleeves was considered a scandal, but now... tsk tsk tsk, my wife can shout out in a fair manner.

The owner of the ghost market was full of emotion, but he was still respectful on his face, and he didn't dare to question him at all. Anyway, a man can bend and stretch, and he is also very good at being a grandson.

The owner of the ghost market hurriedly said: "It's the villain's fault. The villain has no eyes, so he shouldn't have taken action against the young master."

When Jiang Su saw that he changed the subject, he was still holding his sword tightly in his hand, he couldn't help being even more annoyed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, return the sword to me!"

The owner of the Ghost City hastily presented the Qingxiao Sword, nervous for fear that Jiang Su would blow his pillow when he went back, and said, "Young Master, don't be angry, you see, the young master is unscathed—"

Jiang Su only took out a handkerchief from his arms, and kept wiping the place on the scabbard touched by the owner of the ghost city, feeling cramped in his heart.

Only a few days after he obtained this peerless beauty, the beauty was held in the hands of such a short and fat man. Although everything was for the sake of the overall situation, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken. After several times of wiping, he hung the sword back carefully For a while, he was still holding the sword in one hand, and he was not willing to leave the sword for a moment.

Li Hanshan: "..."

Li Hanshan was very unhappy.

He has long known that Jiang Su likes swords, and he doesn't mind that Jiang Su likes swords, but the Qingxiao sword is different. This Qingxiao sword was given to Jiang Su by Bai Yusheng. The plot is wrong, maybe there are other plans, seeing that Jiang Su cherishes the gift from Bai Yusheng so much, he feels a little uncomfortable for no reason.

This mixed feeling is really hard to describe in words, I just feel angry and depressed accompanied by a sour feeling, but he couldn't interrupt, so he simply turned his eyes away, just pretending that he couldn't see anything .

He has already begun to think about the swords he has collected over the years. After all, he is not as obsessed with swords as Jiang Su. When he was teaching, he spent most of his time studying swordsmanship. He didn't have many hidden swords. Sometimes they used ordinary iron swords like the ones used by members of the Demon Cult.

In other words, in terms of gift giving, he might really lose to Bai Yusheng.

But Li Hanshan was not willing to admit defeat. After all, he was also the young master of the Holy Cult, and Xie Zeli wanted to hand over the entire Holy Cult to him for management. There was always something Jiang Su liked in the teaching, so he didn't believe that he couldn't find a gift that Jiang Su liked.

He had a gloomy face, full of resentment and nowhere to vent, and seeing the owner of the ghost city in front of him with a flattering face, trembling, and even more anger in his heart, he asked coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about again?"

The owner of the ghost market looked at Li Hanshan, and was silent for a while, really not understanding where Li Hanshan's anger came from.

He thought hard and suddenly had an epiphany.

This person calls Li Hanshan his wife, but Li Hanshan is the young master of the Demon Sect! The dignified young master, how could he be willing to submit to others?

What wife? This man must be talking nonsense! Even if it's not nonsense, as long as he is in front of people, he has to treat this person as nonsense!

"Young master, it's the villain who is stupid." The owner of the ghost market was serious, but worried that he would refute Li Hanshan's face by talking nonsense in front of others, so he hurriedly explained for Li Hanshan, "The villain understands, what he said is not that Meaning, it’s just being stubborn, it’s just being stubborn for a while, the young master is magnanimous, and he doesn’t care about it with him.”

Li Hanshan: "..."

Wait, what the **** is this guy talking about?

Why did Li Hanshan understand every word he said, but when combined together, Li Hanshan couldn't figure out what he meant.

And Jiang Su finally recovered from the pain and joy of losing his beautiful wife, raised his hand to look at the owner of the ghost market, and said, "Actually, we don't mean anything malicious."

Ghost City Owner: "..."

The owner of the ghost city silently looked around, looked at the guards who were wounded, twisted and moaning all over the floor, for a moment he didn't know what else he could say.

Jiang Su coughed lightly, and decided to get straight to the point: "I have something to ask you."

The owner of the ghost city had already regarded him as the young lady of the Demon Cult, and he couldn't wait to nod his head immediately, expressing that he must know everything and say everything.

Jiang Su bluntly asked: "Who told Lu Jiu to steal the key from Bu Sheng Tian?"

But he didn't want the owner of the ghost city to be startled, as if he didn't know about it, so he raised his hand in a little panic, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered: "This... I don't know either."

Jiang Su raised his eyebrows.

If according to what Lu Jiu said, all the entrusted ones are from the hands of the owner of the ghost market, then it is impossible for the owner of the ghost market not to know who the entrusting person is.

Even if the entrusting person intentionally conceals his identity, the owner of the ghost market should not be a fool. He should accept what is given to him, and what should not be touched. He should have a set of rules in his heart, like the key to steal the sky. This kind of thing offended not only the richest man, the Bai family, but also the Wulin League. Jiang Su didn't believe that the owner of the ghost market dared to take on such dirty work without even investigating the identity of the entrusted person.

If the owner of the ghost city is really such an idiot, this ghost city should have been destroyed by someone long ago.

But the owner of the ghost market didn't seem to be talking at all, he was just nervous, and kept raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, before opening his mouth after a while, carefully said to Jiang Su: "I...our ghost market is nothing more than collecting money to do things, The identity of the entrusting person is... not the key thing."

Jiang Su frowned slightly.

He turned his head and saw that Hua Shiqing, who had been standing motionless by the side, frowned slightly like him, and felt that this matter was not as simple as the ghost city owner said, and there must be a concealment in it.

In just a short exchange, he felt that he had roughly figured out the temperament of the ghost market owner. Although he still couldn't figure out how such a waste could support the ghost market, he could see the reaction of the ghost market owner just now. If you scare him, he can say anything.

Jiang Su slowly raised the Qingxiao Sword, held it in front of him, and pulled out a part of the sword with a bang, a cold light flashed, and the owner of the Ghost City trembled with fright, and the sweat on his forehead seemed to be even more, almost With a trembling voice, he hurriedly said: "I...I said it all...Young Master, save me!"

Li Hanshan tilted his head slightly, looked away, and said, "I can't control him."

Jiang Su looked at the owner of the ghost city again, and said, "I'll ask you again—"

"He gave too much." The owner of the ghost market said tremblingly, "I didn't ask his identity, and his martial arts are also very high. I sent people to follow him, but he threw them away."

Jiang Su: "..."

This is really a fool, right?

He didn't even know the identity of the other party, so he dared to take on such a hot job?

"He blocked his face. All I know is that he is a young man." The ghost city owner trembled. "He should be in his mid-twenties. He uses a sword and has high martial arts skills."

Jiang Su took a deep breath: "It's all nonsense."

Voice, face, gender, age, and even the weapons they used to use can all be disguised to cover up, that is to say, the only clue they can get is that this person is very skilled in martial arts and rich.

Jiang Su put his sword back into its sheath, seeing the owner of the ghost market so frightened that his legs limp and fell to the ground, he felt extremely disappointed.

When he rushed to the ghost market, he only got such a useless clue, so finding the person behind the scenes was like looking for a needle in a haystack, almost impossible.

He needs a total of seven keys, even if he got all the other six keys, as long as he lacks this one, he will definitely not be able to open the invincible sky.

Jiang Su was a little upset, since he had finished asking for information, it seemed that he didn't need to stay here any longer. He was about to turn around and leave, but he heard a sentence from the ghost city owner trembling.

"General Lu Jiu...brought the key over, but that person never came to pick it up." The owner of the Ghost City tremblingly said, "I still...have the key..."

Jiang Su wished he could immediately pull the owner of the ghost city from the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the key?"

The owner of the ghost market trembled and got up, and wanted to take them to pick it up. In fact, he just entered another room, opened a secret compartment, found a brocade box from inside, and handed it to Jiang Su, who opened it. Look, there is indeed a strangely shaped stone key inside.

He has never seen such a key, so it is naturally difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, but this key has been kept in Bai's house for so many years, and he believes that Bai Yusheng can recognize it, so he puts away the brocade box, rejoicing in his heart, and takes a look at the ghost The owner of the city said: "If this is a fake, I will come back."

The owner of the ghost market kept shaking his head and said, "It's not a fake, of course it's not a fake!"

He couldn't wait to send away the two big Buddhas in front of him immediately. Hua Shiqing was standing by his side all the time, with a complicated expression on his face, as if he felt that something was wrong about this matter, but Jiang Su put away the key and glanced at Hua Shiqing again Thinking that it was Hua Shiqing and the owner of the ghost market who exposed his identity just now, his heart suddenly thumped, and he felt that something was really wrong with Hua Shiqing and Lu Jiu.

Not to mention what the owner of the ghost city said to Hua Shiqing just now, if Hua Shiqing really doesn't want to pay attention to Lu Jiu, and has no interest in Lu Jiu, how could he be able to tell immediately with just a few glances? Out of Jiang Su's identity?

Yes, if someone is very familiar, it is not difficult to distinguish the other person's body shape, but what the elder sister said just now - Lu Jiu was infatuated, but Hua Shiqing ignored him at all.

how is this possible! This look is Hua Shiqing's deception!

It's mutual love! This must be a crush on each other!

Jiang Su thought about it carefully, and now he has all three keys, which means that the main plot has progressed by 40%, but until now, he has only accumulated 10 points in his **** fate system, no way , This is too slow to keep up with the progress of the main line. He doesn't want to work so hard to open the sword manual and return to reality immediately after touching the second volume of the sword manual.

He had to match Hua Shiqing and Lu Jiu.

Jiang Su coughed, stepped forward, and took the initiative to talk to Hua Shiqing.

"Young Master." Jiang Su said seriously, "I know you are worried about Lu Jiu."

Hua Shiqing interrupted him coldly: "I'm not worried."

Jiang Su: "..."

Jiang Su ignored his refusal and insisted on continuing.

"Lu Jiu broke a leg." Jiang Su said, "Hands were also injured a bit, bleeding a lot."

Hua Shiqing: "..."

Jiang Su looked at Hua Shiqing and still ignored him, but his expression seemed to relax, and he was obviously listening to him seriously, so he knew that this was really a duplicity, and Hua Shiqing should be very worried about Lu Jiu.

He was silent for a moment, and decided to trick Hua Shiqing out first.

"He was stubborn, and he said it didn't hurt, but he bled so much, he should be seriously injured." Jiang Su began to talk nonsense, "Being trapped in a place like Linlang Pavilion again, of course the Bai family would not So nice to him."

But Hua Shiqing was slightly taken aback, but he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Linlang Pavilion?"

Jiang Su thought for a while, Hua Shiqing was not from the Jianghu, and he didn't know about these Jianghu disputes. He probably didn't know where Linlang Pavilion was, so he explained, "Lu Jiu stole something from their family."

Hua Shiqing: "..."

"This sword is also." Jiang Su raised the Qingxiao Sword and said, "It was because of this sword that his leg was broken."

Although he was the one who broke Lu Jiu's leg, anyway, Hua Shiqing didn't ask, so Jiang Su didn't say anything.

Hua Shiqing: "..."

"I think you know this sword?" Jiang Su carefully guessed, "Did Lu Jiu tell you?"

Hua Shiqing was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Before he left last time, he drew this sword on paper and asked someone to give it to me." Hua Shiqing finally opened his mouth and said softly, "I think your sword is very similar, but...you are not him .”

"He stole the sword, stole this key, all for you." Jiang Su thought for a while, couldn't help but guess, and said,

"Your ransom money is very expensive?"

Hua Shiqing was stunned for a while, then just shook his head.

Jiang Su asked him, "Do you want to see Lu Jiu?"

Hua Shiqing seemed unwilling to speak, and after a while, he whispered a word, "I can't leave here."

"No, can you?" Jiang Su replied, "It depends on whether you want to or not."

Hua Shiqing: "..."

The owner of the ghost market seemed to be taken aback by Jiang Su, and he wanted to jump up immediately. At this time, he seemed to have a lot of courage, and hurriedly screamed: "He can't leave here!"

Jiang Su turned his head to look at him, and the owner of the ghost market was more than half languid again, his voice was lowered, but he was still very persistent, and said: "He...he can't see the light."

Jiang Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I can't see the sunlight." Hua Shiqing replied in a low voice, "I will get sores on my body."

Jiang Su didn't panic at all.

What kind of problem is this?

He came in wearing a cloak. He gave the cloak mask to Hua Shiqing, blocked Hua Shiqing's whole body, and brought him to Fu Wenxiao. He didn't believe that Fu Wenxiao couldn't cure him. Even if he really couldn't, he usually went out to hold an umbrella It's not difficult, why live in such a dark place.

Thinking of this, Jiang Su took Hua Shiqing's arm and said, "I'll lend you the cloak—"

The ghost city owner hastily interrupted Jiang Su: "If he leaves here, something will happen!"

Jiang Su asked him back: "What could be the matter?"

"This...I..." The ghost city owner didn't seem to know how to explain it. He wiped the sweat from his brow, and in the end he could only choke out, "The money for his ransom..."

Jiang Su clicked his tongue: "You asked me for money?"

Ghost City Owner: "..."

The ghost city owner: "It's okay, you go slowly."

Jiang Su untied the cloak and put it on for Hua Shiqing himself. Hua Shiqing was not as tall as him and was even thinner. This cloak was enough to cover Hua Shiqing tightly, but Hua Shiqing said that he could not see the light, Jiang Su thought about it again. Anyway, he already got the key, so he didn't need to pretend to be Lu Jiu anymore. Even if he showed his face, it shouldn't matter.

He was about to remove his mask, but Li Hanshan held his hand, shook his head at him, lowered his voice, and said to him, "You can't swim."

Jiang Su: "..."

Right.

As long as he didn't leave that river and stay away from those disgusting strange fish, it would be better for him to hide his identity.

At least, he can't let others know that he is a righteous person.

Li Hanshan had already removed his mask, handed it to Hua Shiqing, and said coldly, "Put it on."

Li Hanshan's tone was cold, as if he was dissatisfied with Jiang Su wearing a cloak for Hua Shiqing, and the expression on his face was not good-looking, and Hua Shiqing was usually good at observing words and expressions, so he shrank back in fright from his expression, Jiang Su had to cough lightly With a sound, he said: "He is not very good at talking, you can put on the mask and be careful."

Hua Shiqing looked at them with a frown, and suddenly said in a low voice, "You two have such a good relationship."

Jiang Su replied: "Aren't all friends like this?"

Hua Shiqing tilted his head slightly, stopped speaking, and never refused to resist. Jiang Su turned his head to leave, and he followed carefully, while Li Hanshan walked at the end, seeing the owner of the ghost city stretching out his hand, as if Wanting to stop Hua Shiqing, but not daring to offend Jiang Su, in the end, he was so entangled that he withdrew his hand back, lay down on the ground as if his heart was ashes, and closed his eyes with a sigh.

Li Hanshan faintly felt that something was wrong.

If the owner of the ghost city stopped Hua Shiqing from leaving just because of the ransom, or because of Hua Shiqing's excuse of being afraid of light, he doesn't have to be so entangled.

You know, the ghost market is not short of money, just such a small ransom is too expensive for Lu Jiu to raise, but for the owner of the ghost market, this should only be a small amount.

Why is he showing this expression?

Li Hanshan frowned, subconsciously put his hand on the sword.

He always felt that this matter was not so simple.

But Jiang Su seemed to have already walked out, so Li Hanshan had to follow. When he reached the street outside, Hua Shiqing was very nervous, with his head down, at a loss, but he didn't dare to shake Jiang Su's hand.

He obviously thought it was the young master's wife, and he didn't dare to do such a thing in front of the young master. He struggled for a long time, and in panic, he reached out and grabbed the sheath of the Qingxiao sword around Jiang Su's waist.

Sure enough, Jiang Su stopped immediately and looked back at Hua Shiqing.

This man is touching his wife.

What are you doing? Suddenly touching his wife while walking!

Behind him, Hua Shiqing pulled the cloak very low. He obviously had a mask on to cover his face, and no one could see his face clearly, but he still put one hand in front of the mask, obviously very afraid of being discovered by others. identity of.

He was holding the scabbard of the Qingxiao Sword, but that hand trembled slightly. He seemed to be terrified. Jiang Su couldn't help lowering his eyes, and his eyes stayed on Hua Shiqing's hands, with slender finger bones and fair skin. It was slippery, obviously not having done any heavy work, but the thin wrist exposed under the cloak was covered with bruises, like pinch marks, and there were some interlaced scars, which did not match the well-raised hands at all.

Jiang Su was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, Hua Shiqing had seen his eyes clearly, and retracted his hand in fright, not daring to touch his Qingxiao Sword again, shrank back, tightened his cloak, and said nothing Fatally stood in place.

Jiang Su couldn't help frowning, but felt that Hua Shiqing's situation was really different from what he thought.

But he couldn't explain what this strange feeling was all about. Besides, they hadn't left the ghost market yet, so this was not the place to talk.

The people in the ghost city knew that Li Hanshan was the young master of the Demon Sect, and they all automatically made way for them, but they didn't understand why they entered as two people, but when they left, they turned into three people. , the boatman was still standing there waiting, seeing the three people coming here, he was slightly startled, and asked: "This is..."

Jiang Su ignored him, and got on the boat directly, and was about to reach out to help Hua Shiqing behind him, but the boatman said again, "Xiao Jiu, you don't know that you need a token to leave, right?"

Jiang Su didn't answer him, but just looked at Li Hanshan, and Li Hanshan looked gloomy, and said coldly: "This is the person my father wants."

The boatman shrank his neck, stopped talking, and even made a gesture of invitation to Hua Shiqing, and then carefully picked up the oars, preparing to push the boat away from the ferry.

Jiang Su really didn't expect Xie Zeli's name to be so useful.

Hua Shiqing stood cautiously in the boat, very nervous, Jiang Su lowered his voice and told him that there are strange fish in the river, don't make too much noise, so as not to attract the attention of those strange fish, he kept nodding, and then looked away. Turning to the thick fog in front of him, there seemed to be some unspeakable expectations.

With that look, Jiang Su felt that he might not have left the ghost market for a long, long time.

The boat was in the mist, and after a while, the boatman retracted the oars and made a gesture to silence them. Jiang Sufang felt a little nervous. Li Hanshan had already taken his hand and whispered to him: "Don't be afraid. .”

Jiang Su: "..."

Jiang Su closed his eyes.

After all, he has practiced martial arts for many years, and his hearing is excellent. He could hear the sound of strange fish swimming away under the water. He heard that sound seemed to be under their boat. There was a shrill sound, like a whistle, which made Jiang Su quickly turn his head to look at the sound, and then there was a huge sound of water, the water surface was turned upside down, and the boat shook violently. The boatman was puzzled and asked what was wrong. Before he could exit, a strange fish suddenly jumped up and dragged him into the water.

There was a **** mist on the surface of the water, and a severed limb floated up for a moment, but another strange fish pounced on it and dragged the severed limb into the river. Jiang Su's face was pale, and the freezing river water was poured under his feet. It was about to sink, he hurriedly looked around and saw that it seemed to be the river bank on the side, so he reached out to grab Hua Shiqing and drag him to the river bank.

But before he could hold Hua Shiqing's hand, the boat was torn apart, Hua Shiqing screamed in fright, and Jiang Su and he fell into the river almost at the same time.

Surrounded by icy river water, Jiang Su couldn't see anything clearly, he could only use his long sword to hit him a few times, and then he wanted to jump up with light work, Li Hanshan was one step faster than him, directly holding his hand and dragging him After getting out of the river, he hugged his waist and jumped up to the river bank. Jiang Su choked on a few mouthfuls of water, coughed and turned his head to look, but Hua Shiqing had disappeared on the river.

He didn't know whether Hua Shiqing was killed by those strange fish, or—

Jiang Su frowned.

Where did that whistle come from? According to what the boatman said, those strange fish should have searched for the sound and attacked the source of the sound, but these strange fish turned their boat over. Could it be that...these strange fish can still be controlled by people?

Jiang Su was puzzled, and then looked at Li Hanshan looking around, seemed extremely nervous, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's in the fog now." Li Hanshan said with a frown, "We may get lost."

Jiang Su was drenched all over, and the mask was extremely uncomfortable on his face, so he simply threw away the mask and said, "Let's go back to the ghost market first."

There are many forks in the river to the ghost market, and the fog is heavy. If they want to go back by themselves, it may be difficult, but there is only one river from the ghost market to here, and the boatman just left the ghost market and went upstream. In just a moment, they were by the river, walking down the river, and they would be back in the ghost market in a short time.

Li Hanshan nodded, the two remained silent, but almost instantly, their vigilance was raised to the extreme.

Jiang Su had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he felt that the owner of the ghost market should be able to solve his doubts. He was worried about being attacked on the road when something like this happened, but they returned to the ghost market smoothly anyway. There were not many people in the market. The people in the ghost city still looked at them carefully, but many people's eyes dangled on Jiang Su's face, making Jiang Su feel a little uncomfortable.

That beautiful elder sister was still waiting for customers in front of the brothel, she saw Jiang Su and Li Hanshan at a glance, and greeted them with a smile, saying: "Young Master—"

She paused for a while, and stopped her gaze on Jiang Su's face.

After a while, she seemed to recognize who Jiang Su was, with unbelievable eyes, and she almost blurted out.

"You...you are Jiang Su?" The woman was full of astonishment, "Wait, where is Lu Jiu? No, the young lady's wife is actually you?!"
