Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 33 Purse
Seeing that Xing Xiaoren didn't react, Pei Nai added: "When you are a man, your words are always important. Besides, you carry the reputation of the Six Rivers Wind and Thunder Eight Shuttle Hammers on your shoulders! Don't forget it."

Amidst prolonged applause, Pei Nai walked down from the fighting stage.

A man came towards her and blocked her way. Pei Nai glanced at the pair of cloud-toe boots with purple piping, raised her head, and saw that the man was Zhang Sheng, the son of Lingyue mechanical sorcerer Zhang Licheng.

Are you here to ask for an explanation for your colleague Xing Xiaoren?
Pei Nai said coldly: "Get out of the way, I want to teach him a lesson, not you."

Zhang Sheng said sternly, "Xiao Ren is my friend. As a friend, I should avenge him."

As he spoke, he spread his hands toward the fighting arena, signaling that he wanted to challenge Pei Nai.
Pei Nai didn't care. "Then Master Qianxuan and Xu Fengming are still my friends. Can Master Zhang please settle this account for us?"

Her words seemed to move Zhang Sheng, and he hesitated for a moment.

Pei Nai patted his shoulders twice and said, "The game is not over yet. We will meet sooner or later. You don't have to rush."

Zhang Sheng didn't respond, so Pei Nai turned and walked away.

The reason why she had no ill will towards Zhang Sheng was because she had met Zhang Sheng's father, Zhang Licheng, when she was young.

Zhang Licheng has visited Tianyao many times. He and Pei Nai's father Pei Hao are old friends.

As a well-deserved Lingyue mechanical wizard, Zhang Licheng is humble and gentle, very different from Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Licheng even gave Pei Nai a wooden box with a mechanism as a birthday gift, but unfortunately the process was too complicated and Pei Nai couldn't open it.

The young girl held the small box and asked others, but still had no clue.

To be honest, she tried every possible means at that time, but the mechanism of the wooden box refused to move at all, and she was almost about to chop it with a knife.

Mechanical engineering is extremely complex, and contains great wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend. However, as the descendant of a mechanical engineer, Zhang Sheng actually mixed up with the villain Xing Xiaoren!
Maybe he's crazy? Pei Nai couldn't understand.

She asked the guys from the Dengyun Heroes Conference for some clean water, prepared to find a chair to rest while waiting, and wiped the Hunxi whip clean and put it back in its place.

As soon as she sat down, many people came over and congratulated her.

One knight said happily: "Miss Tang is really very reserved! Since you know the Ten Thousand Mountains Blood Whip, why don't you use it earlier!"

Pei Nai smiled awkwardly, trying to figure out how to explain.

Someone else said, "What a wonderful competition! Miss Tang is truly a peerless heroine. In my opinion, she has become as dignified as Madam Yingwu!"

Pei Nai:.
Why does this analogy feel weird?

"Alas, how can you still call her Miss Tang? You should change your name to Lady Hero Tang!"

"Ms. Tang!" someone called out.

Pei Nai did not dare to respond. She lowered her head, took out a handkerchief, dipped it in clean water, and wiped the blood stains on the Hunxi whip one by one.

Master Qianxuan walked over with the support of the crowd.

He bowed to Pei Nai and was about to bow, but Pei Nai was startled and quickly stood up to help him up.

Master Qianxuan's face was filled with gratitude, "Thank you Miss Tang for saving my life."

He was talking about Pei Nai drawing his sword to block Xing Xiaoren's fatal blow.

Pei Nai hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Senior Sun, there is no need to thank me. You stepped forward when Wan Yue Blood Whip was in trouble. You are chivalrous and brave, and you are kind-hearted. You are a role model for us younger generations to learn from. We should bow to you."

Pei Nai was about to bend down, but was stopped by Master Qian Xuan, "No, no."

Master Qianxuan continued, "But there is one thing that I am not quite sure about. I wonder if Miss Tang can help us answer it?"

Pei Nai nodded, "Senior, please speak."

"It is said that Han Ruize, the only descendant of the Han family, should be the only one in the world who can use the Wanyue Blood Whip. But where did Lady Tang learn it from?"

"I am actually Han Ruize's adopted sister!" Pei Nai gritted her teeth and began to make up stories, "He taught me martial arts and the Wanyue Blood Whip." She had a feeling that Han Ruize, who was in Huayun Village, was most likely sneezing at this moment.

"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized.

Master Qianxuan shook his head and said, "Ms. Tang is so promising at such a young age that I, Sun, feel ashamed of myself."

"Oh, senior, you are embarrassing me. You must not say that." Pei Nai raised the Hunxi whip in his hand again, "You have been tired just now. You should have a good rest now. I will wipe the blood off the whip and return it to the whip rack on the White Jade Platform."

Everyone exchanged a few polite words and made way for Pei Nai.

Pei Nai let out a breath as he walked out of the crowd.

Regarding Xing Xiaoren's matter, she vented her anger on behalf of the Tianyao people, but ended up causing a lot of trouble for herself.

Under the gazes of countless people, she picked up the Hunxi Whip with both hands and put it back to its original place.

Pei Nai didn't dare go back to the waiting area, for fear that others would ask too many questions and she would let the cat out of the bag. She then turned around and went up to the viewing platform and sat back at VIP table number four.

Yixi was about to speak when Pei Nai raised his hand to interrupt her.

"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly when I have the chance. Now, watch the game. Watch the game!"

Yixi was full of confusion and had no answer, so she could only pout helplessly.

Ju Liancheng picked up the teapot, filled Yixi's cup to seven-tenths, and handed it to her with a comforting look.

Yixi lowered her eyes and said "thank you", then took the cup.

Pei Nai was stunned.

She is the one who is so happy and she is the one who competes so hard. Why does she not get such treatment after coming back here with so much hardship?
"Han Ruize's adopted sister?"

After listening to the report from the secret guard kneeling beside him, Gu Jinheng's eyes flashed with surprise.

He had some impression of "Tang Mingzhi". This girl was Ju Yan's niece. She had been proposed to by the second prince of Qilu, Da Xian, in the palace. She had met him once and had broken the shackles of his alchemy energy.

He knew at that time that this girl had practiced internal martial arts and received guidance from a master.

But, since it has something to do with Han Ruize, it doesn’t make sense.

"Han Ruize has been staying in Huayun Village for the past ten years. He has left the southwestern border only a few times. His whereabouts are recorded and reported. They have no chance to meet." Gu Jinheng said calmly.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"It's not that simple. Continue to check her past experience and connections."

"Yes."

After paying his respects, the subordinate quickly stood up and left.

After he left, the only sound left in the study was the sound of flipping papers.

After a while, Gu Jinheng put down the brush and carefully took out a dark blue Ruyi-shaped purse from his waist.

The edge of the purse is decorated with white cloud patterns, the word "Heng" is embroidered on the back, and two words "Shun'an" are on the front. It can be seen that the sewist was very attentive, but it's just a little crooked and cute.

Gu Jinheng gently stroked the surface of the purse with his fingers, and his eyes became extremely soft.

He opened his purse and placed it on the table.

He picked up his pen and wrote:
"I haven't heard from you for a long time. Is my love in good health? Today, at the Chaoyang Dengyun Heroes Conference, there is a girl named Tang who caused the Wanyue Blood Whip to reappear after many years. She said she was Han Ruize's adopted sister, but I feel suspicious and don't know whether it is true or not, so I will tell you a few things. All the old friends are well, so I can let go of my longing for them. But I miss you so much after we parted. I write this hastily, hoping that my love will come into my dreams."
