A sword, a donkey, and a pot of wine

On the streets of Qingyang City.

Xu Tianjiao was leading the donkey, walking slowly and leisurely!

It was already the middle of winter and heavy snow was falling from the sky!

Maybe it’s because of the cold weather!

The streets at this time.

There are only a few people!

Xu Tianjiao's feet stepped on the snow, making a "crunching" sound!

He walked into a tavern.

He often comes to this tavern. Strictly speaking, it is the one-armed old man who often brings him here!

Ordered a roast goose and picked up the wine jug at his waist!

Xu Tianjiao ate the roast goose and drank the wine one mouthful at a time!

Suddenly, the door of the tavern was opened.

Walk in front of a handsome young man in white!

The young man patted the snow off his body and said softly, "Shopkeeper, half a pound of beef and half a pound of wine!"

"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment!"

At the counter, the old shopkeeper quickly stood up to greet him.

As luck would have it, the young man walked straight towards Xu Tianjiao's position!

"Sir, is there any vacant seat here?"

The boy's voice came!

"no one!"

Xu Tianjiao didn't even raise her head, just ate by herself...

The boy shook his head and then sat down!

Eye to eye!

Xu Tianjiao suddenly felt familiar, but he did not know the person in front of him, and he did not know where the familiar feeling came from!

He shook his head helplessly, picked up the wine jug on the table, and took a sip!

Drive away the coldness in your body!

"What do you mean, sir?"

The young man in white looked puzzled!

"She's a girl, but she behaves like a boy!"

Xu Tianjiao lowered her voice so low that only the boy opposite could hear it!

The young man's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he said, "Young Master, you are joking!"

……

For the rest of the time, Xu Tianjiao's eyes were always looking out the window!

There is a house there!

On the door plaque of the house, the yellowed words "Xu Mansion" are particularly eye-catching!

"Sir, you seem very curious about the Xu Mansion. I wonder if you know anyone in the Xu Mansion?"

The boy's voice was filled with curiosity and a hint of sadness!

Xu Tianjiao was shocked when she heard this, but she shook her head and said, "I don't know him! I just know that the whole family died overnight!"

"Oh! They are indeed a poor family, but I wonder if they have any descendants alive?" The young man avoided his gaze and did not dare to look him in the eye!

"I don't know!" Xu Tianjiao took a sip of wine, threw down a few copper coins, stood up and said to the shopkeeper at the counter, "I put the money here!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine jug on the table, hung it around his waist, and walked out of the tavern!

"What a strange man, he drank for so long and his hip flask seemed to still be full?"

The young man looked at Xu Tianjiao's departing figure with a hint of curiosity on his face!

……

At night, the snow stopped without me noticing!

Instead, there was a cold and fierce wind!

The howling of the wind drowned out the noise in the city!

The Xu Mansion has long been in ruins!

Xu Tianjiao's figure appears!

The sound of his footsteps was very light, but the speed was very fast!

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the ancestral hall of the Xu Mansion!

"Someone?"

Xu Tianjiao was shocked!

How could there be anyone here on this night and in this weather!

But the light in the ancestral hall.

Tell him that there is someone in the ancestral hall!

He tapped his toes lightly, and his body soared into the sky like a lone smoke!

Landed on the roof of the ancestral hall!

Lift up a tile and look out in the light!

A familiar figure came into view!

"It's him?"

Xu Tianjiao was puzzled, because that person was the young man in the tavern during the day!

"Uncle Xu, your niece is back to see you!"

"After twelve years apart, I never expected to return to find such devastating news!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Xu. Shisui will find the person who murdered your family and avenge you!"

The boy's voice had a hint of crying in it!

Hearing this, Xu Tianjiao was shocked and thought to herself, "Could it be her?"

His thoughts went back to fifteen years ago!

The same snowy night, my father’s sworn brother!

With a girl who is also three years old!

Arranged an engagement with Xu Tianjiao!

And that girl's name is Feng Zhishui!

Feng Zhishui stayed in the Xu family with her father for three years!

These three years are the happiest three years for Xu Tianjiao!

Because the wind stops the water...

Suddenly, several sad voices were heard, bringing Xu Tianjiao back to her senses!

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw several dark shadows coming towards the ancestral hall!

"Oh no, Shisui is in danger!"

He picked up the rubble that had fallen from the roof!

Spiritual power surges at the fingertips.

The gravel flew out with a whoosh, and the candlelight in the ancestral hall went out!

"Who?"

Feng Zhishui's face changed when he saw this, and he broke out through the window in the dark!

She was agile and in just a few jumps, she disappeared into the night!

"Oh no, we've been discovered, chase them!"

Those dark shadows followed Feng Zhishui's figure and disappeared into the night together!

Xu Tianjiao was worried about her safety, only to see his figure as fast as the wind, rushing over ten feet away in an instant!

"Who are you?"

Feng Zhishui stopped by the lake, and wherever she looked, she saw eight men in black surrounding her!

"We would like to ask who you are and why you appear in the Xu Mansion?"

Among the men in black, I don’t know who asked the question!

"Who I am has nothing to do with you. Could it be that the Xu family's massacre was caused by you?"

When Feng Zhishui heard this, a sword appeared in his hand!

"You are offering sacrifices to the Xu family late at night. Could it be that you are Xu Tianjiao, the remnant of the Xu family?"

"No wonder, your voice is androgynous, just like your name!"

"Brothers, go ahead and kill him. The master will definitely reward us handsomely!"

All of a sudden!

Several knife lights suddenly appeared!

Feng Zhishui's body was as fast as lightning, and the sword in her hand drew silver tracks in the air. She dodged the attacks of the man in black with extremely fast movements, while also looking for opportunities to counterattack.

However, the men in black seemed to have been prepared. They cooperated well and launched an attack like a tide, making it difficult for Feng Zhishui to resist.

"Hmph, remnant of the Xu family, do you think you can compete with us alone?" One of the men in black sneered, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards Feng Zhishui with a sound of breaking through the air.

Feng Zhishui's heart trembled. She knew that she couldn't take this move head-on, so she turned quickly and avoided the attack.

However, although her movements were fast, the attacks of the man in black were like continuous waves, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Are these people actually all masters of the inner martial arts?"

Xu Tianjiao was hiding not far away, thinking secretly in her heart!

Feng Zhishui couldn't hold on any longer and was slashed on the shoulder by the man in black, and blood was immediately gushing out!

It seems that Feng Zhishui is about to die!

Xu Tianjiao's figure appears!

"Who are you?"

The man in black was shocked when he saw this!

Because this young man appeared like a ghost!

"The one who wants to kill you!"

Xu Tianjiao doesn't waste any words!

The sword was unsheathed, and a cold light streaked across the night sky like a meteor!

It stung everyone so much that they couldn't open their eyes!

Wait until the cold light is over!

Several men in black stared with their eyes wide open, muttering, "What a fast sword!"

Then seven heads rolled down...

"you……"

There was only one man in black left, and he looked pale at the moment!

My body can't stop shaking!

"Tell me, whose people are you?"

"Who killed the entire Xu family?"

Xu Tianjiao put the sword on the black-clothed man's neck and asked in a cold voice.

"puff!"

The man in black was now spitting out blood and his body leaned back!

He fell to the ground and died.

Seeing this, Xu Tianjiao frowned!

"They must be captive assassins!"

Feng Zhishui stood up and walked forward, frowning and speaking in a deep voice.

"Girl, the captive assassins are all masters of the inner martial arts. You can't wade into this muddy water!"

Xu Tianjiao sheathed the sword and said in a cold voice.

"None of your business is my business. But why are you here? Who are you?"

Feng Zhishui stared at Xu Tianjiao, as if he wanted to see through him!

"I just saw injustice and helped. Farewell!"

As soon as Xu Tianjiao finished speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared!

"Transforming internal energy into spirit? At such a young age, you've already stepped into the threshold of becoming a cultivator. Your future is limitless!"

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Feng Zhishui!

It was a woman. It was too dark to see her face clearly. She looked at Feng Zhishui and said softly, "Girl, it's time to come back to the mountain gate with me!"

"Master, I can't leave. I have to avenge Uncle Xu!"

Feng Zhishui shook his head, with a hint of stubbornness in his words!

"The person behind this is extremely powerful. Even if you know your enemy with your current strength, you will die in vain if you go!"

The woman looked at the corpse on the ground, as if she had guessed something!

"Master, do you know the person behind this?"

When Feng Zhishui heard this, there was a hint of urgency in his words!

"When you reach the Mountain Moving Realm, I will tell you!"

The woman shook her head slightly, then looked at Feng Zhishui!

"Master, do you know the origins of that young man?"

Feng Zhishui felt that the young man who came to her aid seemed very familiar to her!

"His swordsmanship has reached a very high level. He should be at the Perception Realm, and his strength is at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. At such a young age, I wonder which master's disciple he is?"

The woman looked puzzled and couldn't guess the boy's origins!

"He should be about the same age as me!"

Feng Zhishui couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing this!
