The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

At that time, she felt that no matter how much effort she put in or how many methods she tried in her life, she would never be able to surpass An Qingwan.

But now, she finally sees hope.

How could she not be excited, how could she not be happy?

But she couldn't show excitement, much less happiness.

Because she is Sikong Tingxue.

Sikong Tingxue was listening to blood, not snow.

Even if her heart were to be melted by An Qingwan, it couldn't be now, otherwise she wouldn't be Sikong Tingxue.

"Oh, I see. I remember now. I said some things I shouldn't have said back then. You don't need to take those words to heart."

Sikong Tingxue paused, deliberately giving An Qing time to recall those words later.

"But thank you for saving me anyway. I will repay you. I never owe anyone a favor."

An Qingwan smiled and said, "Miss Sikong, you flatter me. I saved you, but you also saved me earlier. If it weren't for the Heavenly Water Internal Energy you passed on to me, I might not have been able to hold on until I found a way to escape."

This is of course a lie.

Even without Sikong Tingxue's Heavenly Water Internal Force, she wouldn't have been able to drown so easily.

In terms of movement in water, she was naturally far inferior to Sikong Tingxue, but the special breathing technique derived from the legendary thief Chu Liuxiang, which the system had unlocked, allowed her to stay underwater for many times longer than Sikong Tingxue.

Sikong Tingxue said, "One thing at a time. You saved me, and I will repay you, but I haven't figured out how to repay you yet. You'll have to wait a little longer."

An Qingwan said, "Then Miss Sikong, you can think about it slowly."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on Sikong Tingxue's thigh.

Sikong Tingxue shuddered: "What are you going to do now?"

An Qingwan said, "Your clothes are all wet, and you are very weak right now. Wearing these wet clothes all the time might cause you to develop some health problems."

Sikong Tingxue said, "You want to take off my clothes?"

An Qingwan said, "What are you thinking, Miss Sikong? Although I am blind, even if your clothes are taken off, you don't need to worry about being exposed. But why should I make things so embarrassing? I'm going to use my internal energy to dry your clothes."

Sikong Tingxue nodded: "I see. Then you can do it."

She didn't even notice the blush rising on her face.

Because a wave of warmth had already surged from An Qingwan's palms.

An Qingwan's hands feel so comfortable.

Gradually, Sikong Tingxue relaxed, and gradually, she fell asleep.

This was the first time she had fallen asleep with someone beside her since joining the Yin Yang Sect; she slept on An Qingwan's lap.

An Qingwan sat upright.

She is listening.

But she wasn't listening to Sikong Tingxue's breathing, heartbeat, or the unconscious moans coming from her mouth.

She was listening to the sound of water.

It's not the sound of water below.

It was the sound of water behind the left wall.

After passing through the narrow opening, An Qingwan heard the sound of water.

It's very light, very fine, and very smooth.

The area around Jiangling City is rich in water, with lakes, canals, and the mighty Yangtze River.

The sound of the water was so soft that she thought it must be a lake.

An Qingwan recalled the number of steps she had taken since entering the underground palace, as well as the length of her stride.

She is definitely still in Jiangling City. There are several lakes in Jiangling City, so it is impossible to determine which lake she is next to at a glance.

But then she heard the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

There is a boat.

And it's a large ship.

An Qingwan immediately understood.

In Gangneung, the only lake that can accommodate large ships is that large lake, which was excavated hundreds of years ago to connect with the canal and was used to train the navy.

At this point, in this situation, one or more large ships appeared on the lake.

Is this normal?

An Qingwan gently laid Sikong Tingxue, whose clothes had been dried by the steam, on the ground.

Using her palm as a sword, she unleashed her ultimate palm sword technique, easily creating another opening above her head large enough for her to escape.

An Qingwan looked up.

She couldn't see.

If she could see, she would see a moon hanging high in the sky.

month.

Full moon.

A perfectly round moon that chills the heart.

……

The moonlight, like water, poured onto the deck of the floating ship on the lake.

The towering ship was seven zhang high, majestic as a mountain.

On the deck, hundreds of people now stand, each carrying a weapon, gazing at the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, which is engulfed in flames a mile away.

At the very front of the deck stood a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent purple robe.

At that moment, a man wearing soft armor suddenly rushed over, laughing loudly.

"Mr. Gongsun, Jin Linkai and Fang Kui have already led their men to repel the people from the Heavenly Sect. The Pingnan Prince's Mansion is now completely under our control. We are just waiting for your order to storm the underground palace at any time!"

These words immediately enlivened the entire ship.

Even Mr. Gongsun's usually dignified face couldn't help but show a smile.

The Heavenly Sect, the Yin Extreme Sect, the Thirty-Six Islands, and the Black Jade Valley—all four families coveted the Great Qi's secret treasure buried beneath the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.

Among them, Moyu Valley was the last to enter.

It wasn't until two months ago that Moyu Valley finally obtained the treasure map.

It wasn't until a month ago that Moyu Valley left Sichuan and arrived at the Jianghan Plain.

At that time, although Moyu Valley sent out a large number of people, they did not have much confidence in acquiring the Great Qi's secret treasure.

But who could have imagined that, after all the fighting, Moyu Valley would now be the closest to the Great Qi's secret treasure?

He couldn't think of it.

Even the people of the Heavenly Sect, the Yin Extreme Sect, and the Thirty-Six Islands couldn't have imagined this.

And all of this is thanks to An Qingwan.

"If An Qingwan hadn't suddenly stormed into the Pingnan Prince's mansion, killed the Pingnan Prince, and drawn out the Tianzong and the Thirty-Six Islands, this secret treasure would probably have ended up in the hands of the Tianzong. After all, no one expected that the Tianzong had laid out its plans earlier than the Yinji Sect and hidden them even deeper than the Thirty-Six Islands."

Mr. Gongsun sighed.

“An Qingwan killed the Taoist priest’s double, a heinous crime deserving her to suffer the torment of ten thousand poisons. However, she inadvertently helped us in the matter of seizing the secret treasure, so she can be considered a meritorious person. Her merits and demerits cancel each other out, and she should be allowed to leave. But we must appease the Taoist priest’s anger. In that case, let’s destroy her dantian.”

He was just about to give the messenger a few instructions when he heard the sound of oars paddling on the lake.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw an inconspicuous awning boat that had appeared out of nowhere from where the lotus leaves were growing.

The small, covered boat was inconspicuous, but the people on board were impossible for anyone to ignore.

That's a man.

A tall man, as large as a giant tree.

The man carried a gun on his back, a giant gun that was a head taller than him.

"You're still here."

Gongsun's gaze gradually turned cold.

The man laughed loudly, "Gongsun Chong, you're still the same as before, just a good-for-nothing who can't even control his own wife, yet you always like to pretend to be a judge."

Gongsun Chong, who was being scolded, showed no anger on his face: "You don't understand."

The man sneered, "I don't understand, but you do? You know your mother's words! You dare say you're better than An Qingwan?"

Gongsun Chong said, "To kill someone, you don't necessarily have to be more powerful than that person."

The man said, "Keep bragging. Your Moyu Valley's veiled attacks are all talk, but they haven't really hurt An Qingwan."

Gongsun Chong said, "I will kill her without using hidden weapons."

The man asked, "Then what will you use?"

Gongsun Chong said, "Use people."

The man said, "With just the people of you? That's probably not enough."

Gongsun Chong said, "I used people from Jiangling City."

The man frowned: "What do you mean?"

Gongsun Chong said, "Do you know who the most foolish people in this world are? They are those who like to help those in need."

The man's face darkened; he understood what Gongsun Chong meant.

"Are you going to use those innocent people in Jiangling City to threaten her?"

Gongsun Chong said, "She's a smart woman, and threats might not work. But if we use those people as a shield, making her hesitant and afraid to draw her sword, and considering she's in a place like the underground palace where movement is difficult, what do you think her chances of winning are?"

"She probably didn't stand a chance, but it's a real shame."

A faint, eerie voice suddenly drifted over.

Gongsun Chong said, "She really has no chance of winning, so..."

Suddenly, he stopped.

He realized something: the words he had just heard were not spoken by the man in front of him, but by a woman's voice, a woman's voice coming from the lakeside.

He turned his head sharply.

On the lakeside, in a three-story building, under the full moon.

He saw a man.

a woman.

A woman whose face is covered with a coarse black cloth.

"An Qingwan, the Goddess of Xiaoxiang!"

Gongsun Chong lived for thirty-seven years.

It has been nearly 34 years since I can remember.

In these thirty-four years.

He has seen the moon many times.

He had also seen the bright moon many times.

But the moon has never been as bright as it is today.

Under the moonlight, the fine wood grain of the ship railings, the veins of the lotus leaves swaying in the wind, the stains on the stone embankment by the lake, and the extra ink spots on the green flag of the restaurant were all so clear that they seemed to be right in front of me.

He never knew the moon could be so bright.
