Chapter 46 The light in Yue Lingshan’s eyes!
Xin Zhen held a half-eaten chicken leg in one hand, raised his other greasy finger and pointed at Tian Boguang, saying with a smile: "In order to hunt down Tian Boguang, they traveled thousands of miles. I wonder how the young heroes in those stories can stay so clean while traveling around the world."

Yue Lingshan pursed her lips and smiled, with stars in her eyes.

Linghu Chong felt very complicated. He knew that his junior sister was quite a germaphobe. In the past, whenever he didn't take a shower for a few days, his junior sister would always cover her nose to express her disgust.

But now he was squatting in front of Xin Zhen, who looked like a clay figure, talking and laughing.

But Xin Zhen reached out and picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth. He shook it, but there was no wine left.

Yue Lingshan quickly took out a bottle of wine from the basket she had just picked up. Linghu Chong was sharp-eyed and saw that it was the fine wine treasured by his master. He had been longing for it for a long time, but Yue Lingshan gave it to Xin Zhen to drink.

Xin Zhen took a sip and praised, "Good wine, good wine, even better than the Exiled Immortal Wine that Tian Boguang picked up!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan said happily, "This is the wine that my father hid. It was given to me by a good friend in the martial arts world. If you think it tastes good, I'll get you some more to keep."

Xin Zhen's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He raised his eyes to look at Yue Lingshan, only to see that Yue Lingshan was looking at him with a smile and there seemed to be light in her eyes.

Xin Zhen seemed to turn his head and look at Linghu Chong inadvertently, but saw that Linghu Chong had a complicated expression.

Xin Zhen cursed in his heart, then stood up and said goodbye, "Okay, Brother Linghu, I'm done with my fun today, I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for them to speak, Xin Zhen stood up, picked up Tian Boguang and went down the mountain.

"Xin Tanhua, when will you come again?"

Yue Lingshan's voice came from far behind him, but Xin Zhen did not even turn back. Instead, he quickened his pace and disappeared into the mountain path.

Yue Lingshan stretched her neck to watch Xin Zhen disappear into the mountain path, her eyes still filled with excitement. She turned around and asked Linghu Chong, "Big Brother, how did you get to know Xin Tanhua? He came all the way to see you. Did he say when he'll come next time..."

Linghu Chong listened to Yue Lingshan's tinkling voice like a mountain spring asking question after question, but he felt inexplicably sad in his heart.

"Big Brother! Big Brother!..."

Seeing that Linghu Chong was in a daze, Yue Lingshan became anxious and shouted.

"Ah? What?" Linghu Chong came back to his senses.

Lu Dayou's expression was a little complicated. He could tell what this scene meant. He suddenly felt sad for his senior brother, but he couldn't say anything about this kind of thing.

Linghu Chong had something on his mind and just answered perfunctorily. Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Yue Lingshan followed Lu Dayou down the mountain.

Then Lu Dayou ran up secretly.

Linghu Chong asked, "Sixth Junior Brother, what are you doing here?"

Lu Dayou glanced at Linghu Chong's face and said, "Big Brother, there is something I want to remind you of.

Recently, the junior sister has been talking about Xin Tanhua a lot, although she doesn’t dare to say it in front of the master and his mistress.

But when she was practicing sword with us in private, she was always talking about Xin Tanhua this and that. I wondered if Junior Sister had any ideas. "

Linghu Chong's chest felt as if it had been hit hard by a hammer.

He remembered the gentle side of his junior sister that he had never seen before towards Xin Zhen.

His mind was full of thoughts for a while, and after a while he asked, "How did you recognize Xin Tanhua?"

This time, Linghu Chong and Lu Dayou acted separately, and Linghu Chong returned to the mountain alone after being injured.

After I came back, I was immediately punished to go to the Cliff of Repentance. I had no time to talk with my fellow disciples about what would happen after I came down the mountain, so I had no idea about this situation.

Lu Dayou quickly told the story one by one: "I met Xin Tanhua in Hengshan. I was scolded for saying something bad about Xin Tanhua, but that was my fault. I apologized to Xin Tanhua afterwards. Junior Sister was also there at the time, but she didn't talk much to Xin Tanhua. However, Junior Sister didn't meet Xin Tanhua that time.

According to the younger junior sister and the second senior brother, they knew about Xin Tanhua when they were monitoring the Qingcheng Sect in Fujian.

Junior Sister and Second Senior Brother had been lurking outside Fuzhou City for a while. They must have seen Xin Tanhua quite often during that time, and they must have done some investigations. Junior Sister knows a lot about Xin Tanhua's affairs in the officialdom."

Linghu Chong felt inexplicably sad for a moment, but didn't know how to express it.

Lu Dayou said: "But don't worry, Senior Brother. Xin Tanhua and Junior Sister are not familiar with each other. They only met once."

"Don't worry..." Linghu Chong murmured, "...What do I need to worry about?"

Lu Dayou said awkwardly: "Ah, nothing, I went down the mountain."

Linghu Chong watched Lu Dayou go down the mountain silently.

That night Linghu Chong had no intention of practicing sword skills. He walked around in circles in the cave again and again. When the sun rose in the east, he came out and sat on the edge of the cliff, staring at the rising red sun in a daze.

Suddenly, two extremely swift figures came running up the mountain path. Linghu Chong was delighted, but then his face became a little gloomy again.

The ones who came up were Xin Zhen and Tian Boguang.

Xin Zhen had already changed his clothes and looked like a handsome young man in this troubled world again.

When he saw Linghu Chong, he smiled and said, "You got up so early, not bad, not bad."

Linghu Chong forced a smile: "Brother Xin, you are here?"

Xin Zhen looked at Linghu Chong and thought to himself: I have to avoid Yue Lingshan from now on, so as not to make Brother Linghu feel uncomfortable.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Linghu, I wanted to teach you Dugu Nine Swords the other day, but I didn't expect to run into Tian Boguang, who came to make trouble. I wasted a whole day.

Today we will start to learn the rest.”

Hearing this, Linghu Chong immediately became interested and quickly pulled Xin Zhen to his side, saying, "Okay, Brother Xin, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Xin Zhen nodded and looked at it for a while before saying, "Let's go inside the cave. This is not suitable for Tian Boguang to watch."

Linghu Chong whispered, "Will he run away?"

Xin Zhen looked at Tian Boguang and said with a smile: "Tian Boguang, do you want to run or not?"

Tian Boguang smiled bitterly and said, "Can I run away?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Well, you go into the cave, we'll be outside."

Xin Zhen didn't think that Tian Boguang didn't dare to run. Although he could catch up with him, if Tian Boguang really slipped away, the world of martial arts was so big that it was hard to find him!

Tian Boguang curled his lips and had to go into the cave obediently.

Linghu Chong whispered, "Brother Xin, why don't you just kill him? Why go to all this trouble?
This guy is not only skilled in martial arts but also good at light work. If he runs away, it will cause endless trouble.

I wonder how many women will be killed.”

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I wanted to kill him, but now he is still useful. Let's not talk about this for now. I will teach you swordsmanship. Do you still remember the general outline?"

Linghu Chong nodded and said, "I recite it every day and I can't forget it."
