Chapter 223 Goodbye Zheng Xiaoqiao
Chapter 223 Goodbye Zheng Xiaoqiao
"That's me..."
Ma Zhan's throat suddenly choked. This voice was too familiar. He had heard it for more than 20 years, how could he not be familiar with it.
Ma Zhan chuckled, turned to another mask that looked similar to his own, and said, "Husband...Mother...Xiao Qiao..."
Zheng Xiaoqiao forced herself to speak calmly and said, "It seems that when I'm not around, you've made a lot of girls happy."
"Hehehe~ No, no."
Ma Zhan pulled Puyang Yingjun over, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Xiao Qiao, let me introduce you to my good brother, Puyang Yingjun."
Puyang Yingjun, who was pulled here as a shield, looked confused. Ma Zhan grabbed his shoulder hard, meaning that he should stop talking nonsense.
"Xiao Qiao, nice to meet Brother Puyang."
Puyang Yingjun didn't know what to do for a moment. Ma Zhan shook his shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "Brother Yingjun, this is me, your sister-in-law."
"Oh, oh oh ~ hehe, hello sister-in-law, hello sister-in-law."
Zheng Xiaoqiao noticed all of Ma Zhan's little moves. Having been together for more than twenty years, she knew Ma Zhan too well.
Puyang Yingjun was about to say something when Ma Zhan forcibly stopped him without giving him a chance to speak.
With Meng Yao by his side, Ma Zhan had never flirted with another girl. Although he had always wanted to, he hadn't had the chance yet. How could he let Puyang Yingjun speak nonsense and let himself suffer this injustice?
The one hundred and ninetieth person stepped onto the crystal platform, and then the Master of Yuchang Sword appeared and announced loudly.
“Congratulations everyone for successfully passing the first round of the competition.
The second round of the competition will be held in the Yinlu Division of Lord Cui, and you only need to persist for five days.
You will exchange ideas with the disciples of Fengdu.
Within the Yinlu Division, 250-rank Fengdu disciples are ready to attack you at any moment. You can form alliances or fight alone to enter the Yinlu Division.
Please welcome Lord Cui..."
As soon as the Sword Master finished speaking, a ghostly aura filled the air, and a gigantic dragon head, emitting ghostly energy in all directions, slowly emerged. The dark red dragon head was larger than the entire crystal platform.
Standing on the dragon's head is Cui Jue, also known as Lord Cui, who is said to be in charge of the laws of the underworld.
Lord Cui nodded slightly to the Master of Yuchang Sword, then holding the judge's pen, he sketched a huge ancient building gate in the air.
There are three big characters on the door plaque - Yinlusi.
After exchanging greetings, Lord Cui and Yuchang Sword Master left on their dragon. The gate to the Yinlu Division stood above the crystal platform.
Ma Zhan was stunned by this earth-shattering and soul-stirring operation. Judge Cui Jue was only ranked at the bottom few on the martial arts evaluation list. How could he be so amazing?
The voice of Yuchang Sword Master came again, "Tomorrow we will have a day off, so you can all exchange ideas. One final reminder: before entering the Yinlu Division, it is best to form teams of five."
After the Master of Yuchang Sword finished speaking, he disappeared like a flash of light.
The clear voice of Green Sleeve Sword Master Lu Zhu came, "The disciples of the Sword Pavilion will lead the way. You can stay in the Sword Pavilion for the time being."
Ma Zhan and Zheng Xiaoqiao did not go to the temporary dormitory prepared in Jiange, but were taken by Puyang Yingjun to his aunt's Dahe mansion.
The disciples of Jiange were devoted to the way of the sword and did not enjoy luxury. The Dahe Mansion was basically the same as a common courtyard.
Ma Zhan and Zheng Xiaoqiao tacitly agreed not to touch the original owner's things. As usual, they cleaned up a room that was usually not occupied.
Puyang Yingjun, who was sitting under a cypress tree drinking tea, looked at the two people walking together and admired Ma Zhan more and more.
"My good brother, you are awesome, Mengyao's sister-in-law, Xiaoqiao's sister-in-law, Heling Fairy, Princess Nange, and the unclear Tang Anru..."
"Tuk tuk tuk~"
A polite knock on the door interrupted Puyang's handsome thoughts.
"Master Puyang, Master Qinghu, my princess invites you..." A polite yet majestic voice came into the courtyard.
Zheng Xiaoqiao looked at Ma Zhan, a hint of accusation in his eyes, "When did you hook up with the princess?"
Ma Zhan's eyes were full of innocence, and he spread his hands. "I didn't, I don't even know her."
Ma Zhan couldn't lie in front of Meng Yao, and even more so in front of Zheng Xiaoqiao. Zheng Xiaoqiao tilted her head slightly and gave Ma Zhan a look that said, "You can do whatever you want."
Without waiting for Puyang Yingjun to open the door, Ma Zhan shouted directly outside: "No."
The maid outside the door was stunned for a moment, her expression instantly turned unfriendly, she glanced towards the courtyard and complained in her heart.
"It is a great honor for my princess to invite you. Do you know how many young talents want to see my princess but can't?" The maid left in disappointment.
Zheng Xiaoqiao glanced at Ma Zhan in surprise. "The princess invited you, and you're being so disrespectful. Is that appropriate?"
Ma Zhan shook his head. "I know you won't stop me from seeing her. It's just that I don't want to see her. If she asks me to go, I'll go. Who is she?"
"She is a princess of Shu, a member of the Shu royal family."
Ma Zhan sneered: "Haha, so what? I was raised by the Princess of Liang. The Queen of Liang is even planning to kill me. What's wrong with her being the Princess of Shu? Does it affect my ability to eat three meals a day?"
Zheng Xiaoqiao smiled sweetly. Perhaps Ma Zhan's inherent fearlessness of power and wealth was something she admired. After she smiled, she felt a touch of heartache.
"On my way to Shu, I heard there was a great battle outside Hanzhong City, and the entire mountain was flattened. Dozens of miserable corpses were hanging at the gate of Hanzhong City..."
"It was directed at me," Ma Zhan said casually, wiping the head of the bed. "I almost died."
Zheng Xiaoqiao felt as if her heart was stabbed. What kind of fierce battle was hidden behind this casual remark?
Watching Ma Zhan busy and skillfully doing the housework, Zheng Xiaoqiao thought back to her days in the secret realm. Before entering the Qin State, Ma Zhan had taken care of almost all the housework. As a wife who had never done any housework, she felt really incompetent.
She hugged the busy Ma Zhan from behind and whispered softly, "Huzi, come with me to Tang Country. No one in Tang Country wants to kill you. Let's go east to the sea and find a small island to spend the rest of our lives."
Feeling the softness on his back and smelling Zheng Xiaoqiao's familiar body fragrance, Ma Zhan closed his eyes slightly, enjoying this beautiful tranquility.
"Knock knock knock..." The knock on the door interrupted the peace in the house.
"What's wrong?" Ma Zhan suppressed his annoyance at being disturbed and spoke in a slightly stiff tone.
Puyang Yingjun asked tentatively, "The Heling Fairy has come to Mount Emei and wants to see you."
Zheng Xiaoqiao placed her chin on Ma Zhan's shoulder and asked softly, "He Ling, who is this again?"
"Um~ I can explain this. She was the sword servant that my master found for me when he accepted me as his apprentice in Laoshan.
During the first match of the competition, I saved her twice more."
