Chapter 40 Kou Lou Used His Helmet Blood As Armor, And His Sword Moved Three Feet to Stop the Ghost From Crying

In the end, the banquet of the Marquis of Ning ended in displeasure.

Lin Li's son was injured by Xu Han who suddenly appeared and was carried back to the Commander's Mansion. No one knew how the Commander of the Long Night Division would react, and Ye Chengtai 's interest was dimmed because of this. The guests naturally had good eyesight and took their leave.

In the blink of an eye, Ning Country's Marquis Manor, which was still bustling with excitement, had once again become a sparrow in the door.

The white-haired Ye Chengtai sat in the hall and looked at the empty Marquis Mansion. His gaze was solemn and he remained silent for a long time.

"Husband." At this moment, a beautiful figure walked in and looked at Ye Chengtai with a worried expression.

Hearing this, Ye Chengtai finally came back to his senses. He looked up at Mu Yinyin, who was walking in front of him, and forced out a smile.

"Madam is here." As he spoke, he stood up.

Mu Yin Yin frowned and said, "Husband, after all, the Longevity Division is heavily relied on by the Sage. Today, Lin Li's son was seriously injured in my mansion. I'm afraid …" Ye Chengtai suddenly decided to marry Ye Hongjian to Xu Han. She already felt that it was inappropriate. How could she not be worried about today's matter?

Ye Chengtai pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and held Mu Yinyin's hands.

He looked at the corner of her eyes where she had already had a fish tail and thought about how beautiful she was when he first met her. Then, Ye Chengtai 's eyes flashed and he said seriously.

"Madam, I naturally know that you're worried. However, has Madam ever thought about why our Ye Clan has fallen into such a state? If Sikong Bai didn't accept the Hongjian , I'm afraid that Lin Kai would have already bullied us and rode on top of our Ye Clan."

"Husband, what do you mean?" In the end, Mu Yinyin was a woman who only thought about her husband and godson. How could she understand this court battle?

"It's just because of the matter of the Mu Palace, Zhu Xian will always have hostility to us people who have ties with the Mu family. With the Long Night Division in one day, our Marquis Mansion of Ning Nation will never be able to turn over a new leaf. Previously, we were able to live in seclusion, but now that Hong Jian has entered the Exquisite Pavilion, we have become thorns in Zhu Xian's eyes. Since we are destined to be unable to obtain the trust of the Long Night Division, then why not put down your heart and board the war chariot of the Tiance Prefecture ? There was a saying that the Hundred Foot Bugs would die without stiffness. No matter how weak the Tiance Prefecture was, it would not allow the Longevity Division to summon the wind and rain in this Great Zhou. "The Headmaster has been hibernating for so many years and suddenly sent his disciple to Chang'an. If my guess is correct, the Tiance Prefecture 's counterattack should begin."

Hearing this, Mu Yinyin's body trembled inexplicably.

She looked up at her husband.

The man was over forty years old, and years had left indelible traces on his face. Frost and snow had also appeared on his temples.

Under the suppression of the Long Night Division, the darkness of the imperial government had almost smoothed out his edges and corners, and his appearance had long since disappeared.

But right at this moment, right at this moment, right at the moment he said those words.

Mu Yinyin was in a daze. She vaguely saw the elegant young man standing in front of her again.

He was her husband, the Marquis of the Ning Kingdom of Great Zhou, and the commander of the Mu Clan's army that year.

That iron-blooded general, Ye Chengtai , who used Kou Tou as his armor and walked three feet to stop ghosts from crying!

In the end, Mu Yinyin could not understand the misgivings in Chang'an City, but since Ye Chengtai had made a decision, how could there be him?

Thus, she gently nodded and slowly leaned her head against Ye Chengtai 's embrace.

…

Xu Han returned to his residence in the Marquis' Mansion of Ning Country as if he had nothing else to do.

As night fell, twilight fell.

Xu Han chased away the servants sent by Ye Chengtai to serve him and stood alone in the courtyard.

The black cat chased after the fallen leaves in the autumn courtyard. Its eyes were wide open, as if it had always been curious about the world.

Ding.

At that moment, a sword cry rang out, and Xu Han held the sword named Xing Tian left behind by Canghai Liuliu in his hand.

His pitch-black eyes reflected the scarlet blade of the sword, as if it was covered with a faint blood color.

Drink!

Along with his soft cry, his body suddenly moved.

Ling Lie swung out his sword moves one after another. The sword moves were not profound, but ordinary moves such as stabbing, hacking, hanging, and lifting. However, every move Xu Han made was extremely serious, and he did not slack off because of the simplicity of the moves.

Because of the meridians in his body, even though he had planted the Great Evolution Sword Seed in his body, Xu Han was still unable to cultivate the world's top sword arts. However profound and profound the world's sword arts were, they were still born out of this seemingly simple stab and hack. Xu Han knew that even though he could repair his meridians smoothly, his start was far too late compared to ordinary cultivators. Every time he practiced swordsmanship, although it seemed to have little effect, it was better than wasting time.

Twelve years of precariousness and four years of life and death gave Xu Han an inexplicable sense of urgency.

Under this seemingly stable world, the undercurrents were already surging. If one wanted to survive, they could only rely on themselves.

After about two hours, the exhausted Xu Han sheathed his sword and stood there. He took a deep breath to calm down the aura of the riots in his body caused by the sword technique he used earlier.

This was the completion of today's cultivation.

Xuan'er, who was at the side, finished her "battle" with Fallen Leaves early. She tilted her head and looked at Xu Han for a long time before finally waiting for Xu Han to stop. At that time, she let out a soft cry and impatiently jumped onto Xu Han's shoulder. She rubbed Xu Han's sweaty neck with her head excitedly.

"Stop messing around." Xu Han's neck itched because of it, "Go down, I'm going to take a shower. When the time comes, I'll take you to Chang'an."

Xuan'er is a very strange cat.

Saying that it was a demon, it did not possess the bloodthirsty and terrifying habits of those legendary demons, nor did it possess those heaven-reaching techniques.

He said that he was not a demon, but he was extremely smart and had a terrifying demonic power in his body.

Xu Han couldn't figure out what it was.

However, he didn't care. In his heart, there was always a simple logic. When people treat him well, he treats them equally.

It was the same for Qin Keqing , Canghai Liuliu, and Xuan'er.

Thinking like this, he dotingly touched Xuan'er's smooth hair and smiled. He wanted to go outside the courtyard and instruct the servants waiting to fetch some water for him.

However, he had just arrived at the courtyard gate, and before he could open it, the courtyard gate suddenly opened from the outside.

Xu Han was stunned. He looked up and saw Ye Hongjian standing at the door with a pink dress. At this moment, her pretty face was covered in frost and she stared coldly at Xu Han.

"Miss Ye?" Xu Han frowned when he saw the visitor's appearance clearly, but he still said softly in the end. His tone was somewhat doubtful about Ye Hongjian 's sudden arrival.

"Shouldn't you invite your future wife in?" Ye Hongjian asked, seemingly speaking ambiguously, but because of that cold tone, Xu Han felt somewhat uneasy.

He pondered for a moment, but nodded in the end, "Please."

Ye Hongjian was extremely impolite. After receiving Xu Han's invitation, she took a step forward and walked into the courtyard.

Xu Han looked at the figure who had entered the courtyard and did not wrinkle again. He still remembered the battle between him and Ye Hongjian at noon today. Now that Ye Hongjian had come again, Xu Han was somewhat confused about her thoughts.

But after all, if he wanted to enter the Exquisite Pavilion, he still had to rely on Ye Hongjian. The relationship between the two of them shouldn't be too stiff, so after thinking for a while, Xu Han followed Ye Hongjian into the room.

After all, Xu Han's residence was still the Ye Clan's mansion. Ye Hongjian , who had entered the room, was not restrained at all. She sat straight at the tea table in the room. Then, she turned her head and looked straight at Xu Han. Her gaze was ice-cold, but there was a surging anger hidden beneath it.

The two of them looked at each other like this for a long time. Xuan'er, who was at the side, looked at the two of them in confusion. Her gaze turned to Xu Han and Ye Hongjian , as if she was extremely puzzled by the actions of the two big fellows.

"Miss, you didn't come so late just to watch me like this, did you?" After all, Xu Han was the first to break the silence between the two of them. He smiled bitterly and said.

Today, Ye Hongjian 's behavior really made him a little angry. Even if he understood the truth, Xu Han was still extremely displeased with Ye Hongjian 's attitude of killing people if she moved like this.

However, Ye Chengtai offered his price. He, Xu Han, could only agree. No matter how annoying Ye Hongjian , who looked like a heavenly immortal but was like a snake from the bottom of his heart, he still had to get along with her as peacefully as possible for the sake of long-term consideration.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Ye Hongjian snorted coldly and finally said, "Tell me, what kind of soup did you give my father to make him agree to betroth me to you?"

"Miss Yan laughed. Marquis has a keen eye. How could a mere Xu Han deceive him?" Xu Han smiled and said, "He was only thinking about his old relationship with my elders and sympathizing with my loneliness. That's why he married Miss to me. I didn't know about this matter beforehand, so I misunderstood Miss."

"Is that so?" However, Ye Hongjian obviously wouldn't be casually sent away by Xu Han's words. She looked straight at Xu Han and asked coldly.

"How dare I deceive you? I have thought about this matter carefully. It is indeed inappropriate. After a few days, I will safely send Miss to the Exquisite Pavilion. I will definitely report my feelings to Marquis and ask him to take back his orders. Don't let Miss be wronged." If it weren't for the fact that he was heading to the Exquisite Pavilion, Xu Handuan wouldn't have agreed to this engagement. In his heart, apart from having a good skin, there was nothing else Ye Hongjian could do for him. However, Xu Han was unwilling to spend the rest of his life with such a woman.

However, his right arm was trapped by demonic power. As long as he didn't remove it, he would feel uneasy. Therefore, he could only accept Ye Chengtai temporarily. He could also stabilize Ye Hongjian first, and wait until he reached Linglong before making any plans.

"Hmph."

Ye Hongjian snorted coldly again. She took off the tea on the table and poured a pot for herself. She placed it on her mouth and gently pursed it.

At that time, the red candles in the room reflected her face, and her moist lips and teeth seemed to carry a soul-stirring charm.

She chuckled and said.

"Tell me, what is your relationship with the Headmaster?"
