Chapter 167 Manslayer Xiaoying
This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml
Seeing Sikong Changfeng's instant anger, Ye Xiaoying couldn't help smirking inwardly. If Snow Moon City got involved in this mess, then he was likely to achieve the purpose of his trip. However, Sikong Changfeng could see everything he was thinking. With a wave of his hand, Sikong Changfeng's spear fell back into his hand, and he picked it up and knocked it hard on the table.
A thousand elite cavalry drew their sabres at the same time, and their murderous auras appeared in a flash. Ye Xiaoying's Ye Banner Battalion were armed with two sabres each, just as he was. The two thousand sabres gleamed under the sunlight, blinding to the eyes. The onlookers realised then, that they were facing the most terrifying army in the entire Beili, or perhaps under Heaven. They slunk back quietly into their houses.
Sikong Changfeng turned a blind eye, and shouted at Ye Xiaoying, "Don't think I can't see that you are smirking in your heart. Are you happy? Feeling smug? Do you think that we Snow Moon City can’t stand on our own and need to get involved in your stupid fight?"
Ye Xiaoying shrugged. "I wasn’t thinking that. How about this, you come with me to Lei Clan Fort. Bring me along to find that person and I’ll help you to settle this problem?"
"Go yourself." Sikong Changfeng frowned.
"Your daughter is there, your disciples are there, and your allies are there. How could you not go and I have to go instead?" Ye Xiaoying spread his hands. "That’s completely unreasonable."
"Of course not. Because your daughter is also there." Sikong Changfeng smirked.
"What!" Ye Xiaoying slapped the table top, and the whole table broke into two halves. "What did you say, Sikong Changfeng! My daughter is not in your Snow Moon City, what’s she doing running off to Lei Clan Fort? Are you crazy? "
"Tang Lianyue sent a letter saying he could cure Ye Ruoyi, so Tang Lian was tasked to bring her there. I also sent someone to send a letter to you. Who knew you’d come all the way here from Heavenly Revelations by yourself? Now, she should have gone to Lei Clan Fort together with Tang Lian, I suppose?" Sikong Changfeng turned and asked Luo Mingxuan.
Luo Mingxuan hurriedly replied, "Indeed, we met da-shixiong and Miss Ye along the way. Miss Ye was still seriously injured, too…"
"What! Ye Xiaoying yelled angrily.
"Stop yelling!" Sikong Changfeng rubbed his forehead with exasperation. "Mingxuan, finish your report."
"However, after Xiao-shidi treated her, and also that day, after the State Preceptor from Heavenly Revelations City suddenly appeared, Miss Ye was no longer in danger," Luo Mingxuan continued.
"Qi Tianchen?" Sikong Changfeng and Ye Xiaoying exchanged a look, their expressions thoughtful.
Ye Xiaoying asked, "What else did the State Preceptor do?"
"After the State Preceptor helped Miss Ye, he said a few words to us and left. He didn’t stay long," Luo Mingxuan replied.
"What did he say to you?" Ye Xiaoying hurriedly asked.
"I wasn’t there when he spoke to us. But, I heard Xiao-shidi say, the State Preceptor was travelling to the south and happened to be passing through where we were, and that he was most likely heading to the south for something very important," Luo Mingxuan said.
"Must be something extraordinary, for the State Preceptor to step out of Heavenly Revelations. What happened after Ruoyi recovered?" Ye Xiaoying asked again.
"I wanted to take her and Qianluo-shijie back to Snow Moon City but they both insisted on going to Lei Clan Fort. Mingxuan couldn’t stop them." Luo Mingxuan sighed.
"Fuck!" Ye Xiaoying stood up, ran a few steps and flipped onto his horse. He immediately glared at Sikong Changfeng and said, "Brother Sikong, you continue drinking at your leisure. I’m not joining you anymore."
"Going to Lei Clan Fort? Not scared now?" Sikong Changfeng raised his eyebrows.
"Fuck you. If I find out who bullied my precious girl, I’ll kill him with my twin blades!" Ye Xiaoying turned his horse's head. "Brother Sikong, when I meet that person, I won’t be considering your feelings. I’ll take him right back to Heavenly Revelations!"
"If you have that capability." Sikong Changfeng also stood up, cupped his fists and bowed. "Sending off the great general with respect!"
"General my ass," Ye Xiaoying shouted. "All forces line up. We’re changing course. On to Lei Clan Fort!"
"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed on this trip. In addition to your daughter and the person you want to meet, you will also meet a young man in red. His surname is Lei." Sikong Changfeng laughed.
"No kidding. I’m going to Lei Clan Fort. They all have the surname Lei." Ye Xiaoying didn’t get it.
"The Lei of Lei Mengsha," Sikong Changfeng added.
"Ride!" Ye Xiaoying smacked his horse's rump, not staying a moment longer.
Luo Mingxuan stared at the man’s back as he left and said in puzzlement, "That was the Beili General-in-Chief that everyone calls the Manslayer? Why doesn’t he look like it?"
"Oh? Then, you tell me, how should he behave to look like it?" Sikong Changfeng asked.
"When I saw him listening to shifu and I talking, he still looked like a proper general. But then, he suddenly flipped and yelled up and down the street. He looked more like a rural countryside boor." Luo Mingxuan shook his head.
"Dressed in white with battle armor, facing the wind with bright prospects, speaking with humour while he commanded tens of thousands of troops, that was Lei Mengsha. Golden armour twin blades, capricious and unpredictable, killing without a second thought, with an army that has never retreated in twenty years, never surrendering, that’s the Manslayer Ye Xiaoying. But you were right about one thing." Sikong Changfeng clasped his hands behind his back. "He’s always been a rural countryside boor. This, he would admit himself."
"But this rural countryside boor just happened to marry a goddess who was considered one of the four great beauties under Heaven. Wasn't Third Citymaster green with envy back then?" A crisp voice sounded and Luo Mingxuan whipped his head around to exclaim with joy, "Shifu!"
"My good disciple is back. Looks like your trip was not in vain, to swindle so many good swords back." Yin Luoxia smiled at her disciple.
"Thanks to shifu’s---- beauty." Luo Mingxuan scratched his head.
"That old pervert Li Suwang must have said something weird again." Yin Luoxia sighed and walked up to stand next to Sikong Changfeng. "The Manslayer ran off to Lei Clan Fort for his daughter without a second word. Why are you so unbothered?"
"The Manslayer’s little missy is fragile and will break in the wind. My girl is different. It’s a misfortune to run into her, isn’t it? What's more, haven't I already made preparations for the Heroes Banquet long ago? Even though Hanyi is making this trip for the sake of love, it’s no hardship for her to take care of the Tang Clan while she’s there," Sikong Changfeng said.
"Oh? But ever since Second Citymaster left the city, there’s been no news at all," Yin Luoxia said worriedly.
"There’s no news at all, but that’s also Hanyi’s style." Sikong Changfeng frowned, "But I don't know why, my heart is indeed feeling a little uneasy."
"I'll take a trip. Snow Moon City still needs to have one of our citymasters here." Yin Luoxia looked at Luo Mingxuan. "Disciple, follow this teacher on a long trip."
"Ah? This disciple just came back, and I haven't even had a bite yet?" Luo Mingxuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Oh? So my disciple is going to let this teacher, a weak woman, go on the road all by herself?" Yin Luoxia said her words with melancholy, but her eyes were fierce. "Shall we gamble on it?"
"This disciple--- can get on the road immediately!" Luo Mingxuan hurriedly changed his words.
"Thanking the Fairy for your trouble." Sikong Changfeng nodded. "It's just, today is the day of the Heroes Banquet. I fear we’re already too late."
"It's better than sitting here waiting for news." Yin Luoxia blew a whistle, and a white horse trod up to her. She flipped onto her horse and said, "Mingxuan, let's get on the road."
"Oh, yes ma’am." Luo Mingxuan was about to follow, but was pulled aside by Sikong Changfeng.
Sikong Changfeng looked serious and said earnestly, "Mingxuan, don't let your shifu enter a gambling den. Remember! Remember! Remember!"
