The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 297 A messy night, a messy heart

The night in the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom was broken by the noise coming from the Sixth Prince's mansion.

The streets were filled with the sound of galloping horses and the shouts of the Jin soldiers.
Compared to the entire city of Beijing, this noise was just a slight ripple, but it still made many people nervous and unable to sleep.

Wanyan Honglie's personal guards were chasing and searching aimlessly, so one can imagine how inefficient they were.

Xu Xingchen and Yang Tiexin ignored the noise coming from behind them and walked through the streets and alleys. It didn't take long before they returned to the secluded inn.

Xu Xingchen was holding two people in his hands. If he was seen by the innkeeper and the waiters, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, the two did not enter through the main door, but jumped onto the nearby roof and came to the window of a room on the second floor.

This room is where Wang Chuyi lives.

Ever since Xu Xingchen and Yang Tiexin left, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci, dressed as little beggars, have been staying with Bao Xiruo.

Wang Chuyi felt it was not convenient for him to stay in the same room with them, so he returned to his room and meditated with his eyes closed, while at the same time paying part of his attention to the situation around the inn.

pat!

Someone stepped on the roof tiles outside the window. Although the sound was light, it sounded like thunder to Wang Chuyi's ears.

"Hmm? A nobody."

A thought flashed through Wang Chuyi's mind. Just as he was wondering whether the person outside was passing by or coming for him and others, a light knock was heard on the window frame.

Wang Chuyi suddenly opened his eyes, and in a flash he was already by the window.

He carefully opened the window, looked out, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The footsteps he heard were the sounds coming from Yang Tiexin. As for Xu Xingchen, who was holding two living people in his hands, he didn't notice anything at all.

"You two are back, come in quickly!"

He greeted them quietly, and the two people outside the window didn't say much and just jumped in.

After closing the window, Wang Chuyi turned around and lit a candle. The dim light spread out, illuminating the entire room.

Looking at the two people placed on the ground by Xu Xingchen, Wang Chu nodded and said, "You actually brought Yang Kang back. How come Guo Jing fainted? And why is he sometimes cold and sometimes hot?"

Guo Jing's condition was very unstable. His skin was red like a cooked crab, emitting hot air, and then turned iron blue, filled with a cold chill.

The extremely hot and cold air flowed and changed in his body, torturing him so much that he continued to frown and tremble even in a coma.

At the same time, the aura on his body was slowly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if there was no end.

Xu Xingchen, who had borrowed a coat from Wang Chuyi and was putting it on, smiled and said, "Jing'er is fine. He just drank the blood of a precious snake and is digesting it now. He should be able to wake up tomorrow morning!"

Yang Tiexin asked anxiously, "Master Wang, is my wife okay?"

Wang Chuyi said, "Mrs. Yang is fine. Brother Yang, since you are back, go and see her!"

“Okay! I’ll be there right away,” Yang Tiexin agreed, mentioned his son, and turned to walk out of the room.

After a while.
From the next room there were knocks on the door, the sound of the door opening, and Bao Xiruo's faint exclamation.

Xu Xingchen did not go over to join in the fun. It was a matter between their family of three, and he didn't have a better solution.

He has done everything he can so far, and the remaining issues can only be resolved by themselves.

Even Mu Nianci, Yang Tiexin's adopted daughter, could not help in this matter.

However, I think that Wanyan Kang, oh no, Yang Kang, will probably be shocked like never before.
Wang Chuyi's room.

Huang Rong, who looked like a beggar, pushed the door open and saw Guo Jing lying on the ground, tearing his clothes and shouting that he was hot. She was shocked and hurried over to ask anxiously, "Brother Guo, what's wrong with you? Why is your body so hot?"

Guo Jing's painful face, bulging neck, and hands tearing at his clothes all turned red, emitting an astonishing heat, and his condition was extremely abnormal. "Don't worry, little girl, my disciple is fine!" Xu Xingchen spoke to calm the anxious Huang Rongan, then said goodbye to Wang Chuyi and took Guo Jing back to his own room.

He turned around to look at Huang Rong who was following closely behind him, and motioned for her to close the door.

He laid Guo Jing on the bed and checked his neck, forehead, wrists, chest, abdomen and other places with his fingers. He felt that the Nine Yang Internal Force in his body was growing at an astonishing speed and nodded with satisfaction.

"The blood of the belly snake of the old monster Shenxian is obviously much more effective than the world in the book."

"However, Jing'er's martial arts skills, under my training, are much stronger than those in the book world; she was able to completely digest the blood of the precious snake."

Looking back at Huang Rong again, Xu Xingchen said carefully: "Little girl, my disciple is feeling unwell and needs someone to look after him at night; so, could you please help?"

Huang Rong's mind worked so quickly that she realized that the other party was only saying this to take care of her feelings as a little girl, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

Fortunately, the black dust on her face has not been wiped off, otherwise, the person in front of her would definitely see her blushing cheeks and shy look.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Xingchen should not have said such inappropriate words. It was an inappropriate thing to let an unmarried girl take care of a young man all night in today's dynasty.

But Huang Rong is an exception!
His father, Huang Yaoshi, was a man of both good and evil ways, and he looked down upon the cumbersome formalities of poor scholars. Following his example and teachings, Huang Rong would certainly not care about those things.

As expected, Huang Rong agreed very readily.

"In that case, I'll trouble you. By the way, if you find anything wrong with Jing'er, come to me immediately!"

After giving some instructions before leaving, Xu Xingchen opened the door and walked out of the room.

Huang Rong closed the door, turned around, moved a stool and sat down beside the bed. Looking at the honest young man whose face had turned ashen and who was shivering with his shoulders hugged, a trace of worry emerged in her eyes, but also a trace of unspeakable joy.

After a while, his eyes fell into a state of trance.

Xu Xingchen returned to his room
He gently pinched the candle's fuse with his fingers and the flame lit up.

He concentrated and listened to the movements within a radius of several dozen feet.

The inn was closed, and the innkeeper and the waiter were sleeping soundly in their rooms in the backyard.
In Wang Chuyi's room, there was a deep and long breathing sound. He was practicing the advanced Taoist internal skills.
In the room where Guo Jing and Huang Rong were, their heartbeats were sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, sometimes rhythmic, sometimes harmonious.
There was some noise in Yang Tiexin's room.
There was a faint sound of Bao Xiruo sobbing
There is Yang Tiexin's gentle soothing voice
Mu Nianci's heartbeat was sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, and she was obviously a little uneasy.
However, the one who suffered the most serious mental breakdown was Yang Kang, whose acupuncture points all over his body were pressed and his body was unable to move. His heartbeat was extremely chaotic and disordered.

Xu Xingchen guessed that he must be feeling a hundred times worse than the farmer whose crops were destroyed by a group of wild boars.

At least fifty "grass mud horses" can express his current mood.
However, the acupuncture points all over his body were pressed by Xu Xingchen, and Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci's martial arts could not open them at all, not to mention the possibility that Yang Kang could break through them with his internal force.
During this period, Yang Tiexin also came to Xu Xingchen once and begged him to untie Yang Kang's acupoints, but was politely rejected by Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen said bluntly: "Yang Kang's mind should be in a mess right now. Unlocking his acupuncture points will not only be of no help, but will also bring some unnecessary trouble. It is better to let him lie quietly in the room for a night, and listen to you and your wife talking to each other, so that he can adapt to this drastic change of identity first."

Send away Yang Tiexin who seemed to be lost in thought.
So far, no words were spoken that night!
Wanyan Honglie's personal guards couldn't find this place at all.

This inn is really too hidden. I don't know how the owner makes money? Who does he serve on weekdays?

The next morning.
Huang Rong's cheers came from Guo Jing's room.

Xu Xingchen pushed the door open and saw his disciple sitting up from the bed in a daze, his clothes wrinkled and soaked with sweat.

But he seemed to be in very good spirits, with his eyes flashing like lightning, which was obviously due to the sudden surge of his internal strength, and he could not control his own power.

The little beggar who was guarding the bed also disappeared, and was replaced by a girl in white clothes with her hair tied up with a golden ribbon.

The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face, skin whiter than snow, and a sparkle in her eyes. It was amazing. What a beautiful woman!
Seeing Xu Xingchen coming, the girl stood up and bowed gracefully: "Huang Rong, meet Master Xu!"

Xu Xingchen asked with a smile: "Why did you turn back into a girl today?"

Huang Rong smiled and said, "I'm tired of wearing the little beggar's outfit. I don't like it anymore!"

Only Guo Jing was still sitting there stupidly, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him with an expression of disbelief, feeling a little flustered and not daring to look at her for long.

He could never have imagined that when he opened his eyes in the morning, yesterday's Huang Xiandi had turned into today's beautiful girl, which made his heart pound.
This was a feeling he had never experienced since he grew up!
