Chapter 1395 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
At that moment, Azhen hid in a tree, quietly observing her surroundings.
She couldn't help but exclaim to herself, "So many people!" She knew there would be a spectacle to watch today.
Upon hearing this, 997 felt like scrambling to write something random.
The tense atmosphere was completely ruined by the host's comment, "There are so many people."
Many of those hiding in the shadows were quite far away, with only a few with exceptionally high martial arts skills positioned closer to the front. Judging from their positions, it was clear that there were several groups of people hiding in the shadows.
They're all masked; if a fight breaks out, I wonder if we'll be able to tell them apart.
"Sir, I have brought the Heaven-Asking Blade and the two weapons from Peach Blossom Manor with me today. Can you release my wife now?" Xu Shan's voice rang out all around, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
He believed that those people were already watching him in secret.
He displayed the Heaven-Asking Blade and the two weapons from Peach Blossom Manor to show his sincerity: "Please keep your promise."
After saying this, Xu Shan waited silently. The surroundings were quiet, and only the soft breathing of the group could be heard. Everyone was a little nervous.
Just then, the sound of leaves rustling came from not far away.
Immediately afterward, a masked man leaped out of the woods. He wasn't worried at all and walked straight up to Xu Shan: "Master Xu, do you mind if I check you?"
Xu Shan gestured for him to stay put, leaving him alone while Shen Miao and the others stepped back.
Just as the man was about to approach, Xu Shan stopped him again: "As everyone knows, the mysterious organizations in the martial arts world are extremely complex. How can I know that you are the person I am looking for if I am not one of them? You should bring my wife out first before I can feel at ease."
He said the same thing when the other party made the request last time, so as not to be tricked.
The newcomer smiled, snapped his fingers, and some more sounds came from afar. Soon after, Yi Xiaolan was led out by two masked men.
"Xiaolan, is that you?" Xu Shan asked.
He and his wife had lived together for many years, and only by asking around could he determine whether the person was real or not.
Yi Xiaolan quickly said, "It's me."
Xu Shan breathed a sigh of relief; it was indeed his wife.
He gestured again, and the masked man in front of him stepped forward to inspect the weapon. After confirming that there was no problem, he said, "Master Xu is indeed a loving husband. Since your family prefers a secluded life, you can have some peace and quiet from now on. We have also helped you out of some trouble."
“Since there’s no problem, sir, stop talking nonsense and let’s make the exchange,” Xu Shan said.
Even if he loves peace and quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed, he can't possibly be grateful to these people.
If they hadn't bothered him, his family would have been living a perfectly good life. They wouldn't have had to go through all this. They're shameless bastards, always trying to make themselves look good.
The masked man wasn't angry. He readily ordered Yi Xiaolan to be released, and then quickly retreated with his three weapons.
Xu Shan quickly caught Yi Xiaolan and made sure she was unharmed before he was truly relieved.
This experience really frightened Yi Xiaolan. Her face was pale and she didn't say a word.
But she couldn't help but glance at Shen Linsu's direction twice. Just then, Shen Linsu also looked at her, their eyes meeting, a complex mix of emotions swirling within them. Xu Shan, a martial artist with keen senses, noticed this, but said nothing.
At this moment, only one sentence echoed in his mind: his wife had returned unharmed, and he had handed over the Heavenly Blade, but he felt that life would never be as peaceful as before.
Just as his thoughts were wandering, several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out from all around, followed by another group of masked men who blocked the group that had been trading with Xu Shan.
Before everyone could exclaim in surprise, there was still movement in the woods. Two more groups of masked men, clearly not from the same organization, appeared and surrounded the masked man wielding the Heaven-Asking Blade.
"Are you all interested in the Heaven-Asking Blade?" The masked man holding the Heaven-Asking Blade laughed upon seeing this. "Then let's see who has the real skill."
A battle was about to break out, and the various groups immediately engaged in fierce fighting. No one had expected it to turn out this way.
Xu Shan led Yi Xiaolan to hide far away, but showed no intention of leaving immediately; perhaps people just like to join in the fun. Besides, in the current situation, maybe someone could even pick up a bargain?
Just as the masked men were locked in a fierce battle, a fragrance, like that of flowers, suddenly filled the air. There were still quite a few flowers at that time, and at first, no one paid much attention. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.
Even Xu Shan and a few others who were watching the commotion from afar were caught in the trap.
Shen Miao took several antidotes she had on her, but none of them worked. She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I should have left. I shouldn't have stayed to watch the show."
"It's also my fault, thinking I could take advantage of the situation," Yan Rugo said.
Shen Linsu couldn't help but say, "I don't know who did this, but on the bright side, we've already handed over our things, so the danger should be relatively small."
Suddenly, the sound of a flute rang out.
The masked men fighting on the scene were already exhausted, and upon hearing this strange flute music, they all collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, everyone looked towards the direction of the flute sound. In fact, some people guessed who it was and exclaimed in surprise.
"It's the Star Moon Palace!"
"The Star Moon Palace has actually appeared as well." Shen Miao's expression was grim. "I hope Chaoyue isn't here, otherwise today might be a bit dangerous."
As she said this, she glanced at Shen Linsu.
It's common knowledge in the martial arts world that Xingyue Palace and Peach Blossom Manor have some grudges.
The story begins years ago when Chaoyue fell for Shen Linsu but received no response. Her persistent pursuit annoyed Shen Miao. Given Chaoyue's personality, she actually tried to forcefully intervene when Shen Linsu was in danger, but Shen Miao arrived in time. Therefore, Chaoyue harbored considerable resentment towards Shen Miao.
Soon, a group of people dressed in white appeared in everyone's sight. The leader was a young man who was holding a flute, and the flute music stopped just then.
His face was concealed, so no one could see him clearly, but everyone knew his identity: Chao Xianxue, the disciple of the Star Moon Palace Master.
Chao Xianxue strode up to the masked man holding the weapons, picked up the three weapons without hesitation, and handed them to the person next to her without much regard for their value.
He ignored the expressions on everyone's faces and made no further move, but instead said, "Let's go."
"Young Master, Shen Linsu and Shen Miao are here. Shouldn't we take them back to Xingyue Palace to please the Palace Master?" A man beside him stared intently at Shen Miao and Shen Linsu. "The Palace Master has had a grudge against them for a long time; today is a rare opportunity." (End of Chapter)
