Lin Xian Er said, 揝o the Mr. Tian still can抰 see that he抯 wearing the Golden Thread Vest?�

Tian Qi抯 eyes brightened. 揝o that抯 why when brother Muo Yun hit him, he hurt his hand.�

Lin Xian Er said, 揑 didn抰 plan on going back to my room today. But at night, I suddenly remembered that I left something important there. Just as I got back, the Plum Flower Bandit appeared.�

Her beautiful face revealed much fear as she continued, 揂t that time, I hadn抰 seen him yet. I just felt someone behind me. When I turned around, he had already sealed my pressure point.�

Tian Qi said, 揑f that抯 the case, then this person抯 lightness kung fu must be fairly good.�

Lin Xian Er sighed. 揌is movement is like that of a ghost. I didn抰 even realize what was going on before he grabbed me. At that time, I thought he must be the Plum Flower Bandit. So I asked, 揥hat do you want? Why don抰 you just kill me?�

揥hat did he say?�

Lin Xian Er bit her teeth, then said, 揌e didn抰 say anything, just laughed sinisterly.�

Tian Qi抯 eyes brightened. 揝o he didn抰 say that he抯 the Plum Flower Bandit.�

Lin Xian Er said, 揌e didn抰 have to tell me. At that moment, I just wanted to die, but unfortunately, I had no strength. Then suddenly, a shadow appeared before us.�

Tian Qi said, 揑 bet that person must be our little friend here.�

Lin Xian Er replied. 揧es. It was him.�

She looked at Ah Fei a moment. Her eyes filled with grat.i.tude. 揌e came so quickly even the Plum Flower Bandit was surprised, who immediately put me down on the ground. Then I heard him ask, 揂re you the Plum Flower Bandit?� The Plum Flower Bandit said, 揥hat if I am? What if I抦 not? You抮e about to die real soon either way.�

Before he finished, needles shot out of his mouth. I was both shocked and terrified. When I saw those needles landed on that gentleman抯 chest, I thought he was dead. Yet for some reason, he wasn抰 even hurt.�

After that, I just saw a flash of a sword, and the Plum Flower Bandit fell to the ground. His speed was such that I can抰 even begin to describe.

When she spoke to this point, everyone stared at that sword on Ah Fei抯 waist. No one thought this sword can kill anyone, much less the Plum Flower Bandit!


Tian Qi also stared intently at this sword.

He then smiled. 揕ooks like you must抳e already been waiting there?�

Ah Fei said, 揅orrect.�

Tian Qi said, 揝o when you saw them, you immediately went over and asked if he was the Plum Flower Bandit?�

揅orrect.�

Tian Qi smiled. 揝o do you always hide in the dark, asking every stranger that pa.s.ses by if he抯 the Plum Flower Bandit?�

Ah Fei said, 揑 don抰 have that much spare time.�

Tian Qi asked, 揝o when you do have that much spare time, what do you ask strangers on a street?�

Ah Fei said, 揥hy would I ask them anything? What do they have to do with me?�

Tian Qi said with a smile. 揝ee. If you were to ask, you抎 say, 慦ho are you?� For example, a while back you only asked who Mr. Gong Sun was. You didn抰 ask if he was the Plum Flower Bandit.�

Ah Fei replied. 揑 know he抯 not the Plum Flower Bandit. Why would I bother asking him?�

Tian Qi started to look serious. He pointed at the corpse and asked, 揑n that case, why did you ask that person? Could it be that you already know that he抯 the Plum Flower Bandit? If you already knew, why bother even asking?�

揙nly because someone told me that the Plum Flower Bandit would appear these few days.�

Tian Qi stared intently at Li Xun Huan. 揃ut who told you? Was it the Plum Flower Bandit himself? Or his friends?�

It抯 as if he knew Ah Fei would not respond to this question. Actually, just by asking this question, his goal has been reached. He needed no response.

When everyone else heard this, they also can抰 help but stare at Li Xun Huan. They all immediately figured that this was all a scheme made by Li Xun Huan and Ah Fei.

Tian Qi immediately walked up in front of a youngster and asked loudly, 揂re you the Plum Flower Bandit?�

That youngster became terrified, barely able to speak. 揌ow... how could I be...�

Before he finished, Tian Qi sealed his pressure point. Then he turned around and said, 揌ey! I抳e captured another Plum Flower Bandit.�

He continued, 揑抦 sure everyone would agree it抯 not that easy to capture the Plum Flower Bandit, right?�

The crowd burst into laughter. They all started to ask each other jokingly, 揂re you the Plum Flower Bandit?�

揂ctually, you look more like the Plum Flower Bandit.�

揌ow come there are more and more Plum Flower Bandit?�

Li Xun Huan suddenly sighed. He said, 揃rother. You should just go.�

Ah Fei looked agitated. 揋o?�

Li Xun Huan smiled. 揥ith the world-famous venerable Zhao and Seventh Master Tian here, how could an unknown youngster kill the Plum Flower Bandit? No matter what you say, it抯 useless.�

Ah Fei squeezed his sword. He said coldly, 揑 also don抰 want to talk to these people. But my sword...�

Li Xun Huan said, 揈ven if you kill all of them, still no one would believe that you抳e killed the Plum Flower Bandit. Can抰 you understand this logic?�

Ah Fei抯 bright eyes dimmed. 揧ou抮e right. I finally understand. I finally understand...�

Li Xun Huan chuckled. 揑f you want to be famous, then you better understand this logic. Otherwise, sooner or later, you抎 end up like me, becoming the Plum Flower Bandit.�

Ah Fei said, 揧ou point is, if I want to be famous, then I better know how to follow orders, right?�

Li Xun Huan said, 揧ou抮e right on the money. If you抣l simply let these 慼eroes� get all the credit, they抣l proclaim you a youngster with a great future. Then after you wait ten or twenty years, when these heroes all die, you抣l become famous.�

Ah Fei just stood there for a while, then suddenly smiled.

He said with a smile. 揕ooks like I抣l never become famous.�

Li Xun Huan said, 揟hat may not be a bad thing.�

When he saw Ah Fei smile, Li Xun Huan抯 smile became much more natural. Their smiles are like a discussing the most interesting story in the world.

Everyone looked at these two people, not knowing what their problem is. Suddenly, Ah Fei flew to Li Xun Huan抯 side. He grabbed Li Xun Huan抯 hand and said. 揊ame is no big deal. But since we met today, we really should at least have a drink.�

Li Xun Huan said, 揘ormally, I would never turn down wine. But today...�

Tian Qi said, 揟oday, unfortunately, he can抰 make it.�

Ah Fei became serious and spoke coldly, 揝ays who!�

Tian Qi waved his hand. Two muscular man came in. One said, 揝eventh Master Tian said so. His words must be obeyed!�

The other one said, 揥hoever disobeys his orders must die!�

Although these people look like servants, the speed in which they came in showed that they have excellent kung fu.

While they spoke, two steel saber turned into two flying rainbow. Carrying a powerful wind, the saber came. One left one right. One up one down. Cutting like lightning at Ah Fei抯 shoulders.

Ah Fei just stared at them coldly while they made their attack, and looked like he didn抰 even move. Suddenly, there was a flash. And then another flash. Then came two loud screams. Two sabers went up into midair. Then both man抯 left hand grabbed their right hand. Their expressions filled with pain. Blood poured out of their palms.

Yet Ah Fei抯 sword is still on his waist. No one saw how he pulled out the sword. But everyone saw that the sword now has blood stains.

What an incredibly fast sword!

Tian Qi抯 smile also disappeared.

Ah Fei said calmly. 揝eventh Master Tian抯 words are orders. Unfortunately, my sword doesn抰 listen to orders. It only kills people.�

The two man showed incredibly looks of shock on their faces. They retreated a few steps before rushing back out the door. Swords might not be able to give orders, but sometimes, they抮e more effective than anyone抯 orders.

Ah Fei grabbed Li Xun Huan抯 hand. 揕et抯 go. Let抯 go drink some wine. I won抰 believe that there are still people who抎 dare block us.
Before Li Xun Huan can speak, Long Xiao4 Yun asked, 揑f you want him to leave, why don抰 you unseal his pressure point?�

Ah Fei抯 mouth twitched. At this moment, Li Xun Huan抯 heart pounded. He suddenly remembered the events that day...

That day, Ah Fei captured Hong Han Min and left him for Li Xun Huan.

That day, Li Xun Huan thought it was weird. Why didn抰 Ah Fei just seal his pressure point? Now he realized everything!

This youngster抯 sword might be without equal, but he doesn抰 know about pressure point sealing!

Li Xun Huan抯 heart dropped. But his expression remain unchanged. With a smile, he said, 揟oday I don抰 have the money to invite you!�

Ah Fei thought for a moment, then said one word at a time. 揑抣l invite you.�

Li Xun Huan said, 揑 will never drink wine not bought with my own money.�

Ah Fei stared at him. His cold face suddenly showed a hint of sadness.

He also knows that Li Xun Huan doesn抰 want him to get in any danger.

Because if he can抰 unseal Li Xun Huan抯 pressure point, he can only carry Li Xun Huan out. If he carried Li Xun Huan out, then they might not make it.

Tian Qi抯 eyes lit up again. He looked at their expressions, then said with a smile. 揕i Xun Huan really is a true man. You抣l never drag others down with you. Little friend. You should go now.�

Li Xun Huan knows that this old fox saw Ah Fei抯 weakness. He immediately said, 揧ou really don抰 have to lure him. He抯 not going to fall for it. Besides, even carrying me, you people might not be able to defeat him.�

He continued. 揃esides, you know that I won抰 go with him. If I were to go with him today, then I抣l never have any chance to clear my name.�

These words are obviously for Ah Fei.

Ah Fei stood there for a while, then said, 揑f they say you抮e the Plum Flower Bandit, then you must be the Plum Flower Bandit, right?�

Li Xun Huan laughed. 揝ome people抯 words are no different from a loud fart.�

Ah Fei said, 揟hen why do you care if they抮e just farting?�

He suddenly turned and picked up Li Xun Huan, carrying him on his back. At this moment, Tian Qi moved. Only to see the shadow of the staff, shooting at the eleven big pressure points of Ah Fei抯 chest. If his staff even touch Ah Fei抯 body slightly, then Ah Fei would never have another chance of moving!

Ah Fei did not pull out his sword!

He抯 just like Li Xun Huan. If he pulls out his sword, then it must draw blood.

Yet at this moment, he is not absolutely certain that he can injure Tian Qi.

Everyone looked at the shadow of Tian Qi抯 staff. Tian Qi抯 staff pressure sealing ability is one of the best in the martial world, yet he can抰 seem to control this youngster.

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揔illing the Plum Flower Bandit is of the highest honor. Why would anyone miss this chance?�

Before he finished, seven people drew their weapons. All aiming towards Li Xun Huan. Lin Xian Er hurried towards Long Xiao4 Yun and said, 揊ourth brother. Why don抰 you stop them?�

Long Xiao4 Yun said, 揧ou mean you can抰 see that my pressure point has been sealed?�

At this moment they heard a loud noise. Three people fell to the ground.

Ah Fei finally drew his sword!

He might not be able to hurt Tian Qi, but if others want to die, he can only kill them. The blood came out of the brightness of the sword. Li Xun Huan抯 coat now filled with blood.

Every single weapon disappeared. All except for Tian Qi抯 short staff, which like a snake still attacks endlessly at Ah Fei抯 pressure points.

Lin Xian Er suddenly sighed and said, 揤enerable Zhao really is a true gentleman. He would not win with numbers!�

Zhao Zheng Yi抯 eyes suddenly lit up. Then said, 揃ut against the likes of Plum Flower Bandit, it抯 useless to obey Martial world rules!�

He grabbed a long spear by his side. Then attacked directly at Li Xun Huan back.

It seems that his reputation isn抰 totally baseless. Zhao Zheng Yi抯 move is quite impressive.


As both the staff and the spear are longer than Ah Fei抯 short sword, he抯 already at a huge disadvantage. Not to mention there抯 a person on his back.

Tian Qi originally wanted to use his advantage in weapon length to beat this youngster. Yet he always misses at the last moment, for some reason.

After many rounds, he suddenly found that this youngster had not attacked even once. But his steps are amazing. Just as he was about to seal Ah Fei抯 pressure point, Ah Fei seems to mysteriously escape.

Tian Qi is quite knowledgeable in martial arts. Yet he just can抰 figure out where this youngster抯 steps come from.

Suddenly, he thought of an idea. Tian Qi smiled. 揕ittle friend. Why don抰 you just put him down. Otherwise, before he can drag you down, you抎 have dragged him down.�

Ah Fei bit his teeth. 揑f you want me to put him down, then why are you still attacking me?�

Tian Qi immediately withdrew his staff, then retreated a few steps. Zhao Zheng Yi抯 spear also stopped midway and turned around.

Ah Fei didn抰 even bother to look at them as he put Li Xun Huan down on a chair. Li Xun Huan抯 face is all red. Yet he still did his best to control himself, forcing himself not to cough. He抯 afraid that his cough would affect Ah Fei抯 concentration.

Ah Fei looked at Li Xun Huan. Then he turned around, looking at Zhao Zheng Yi and said, 揑 only regret one thing. Last time, why didn抰 I kill you!�

While he spoke, his sword came out.

This sword抯 speed is beyond description. How could Zhao Zheng Yi possibly dodge it? Just as he抯 about to spill blood, someone outside said, 揚raise be to Buddha.� As he spoke, a shadow from the outside came in. By the time he said the second word, that shadow is already behind Ah Fei. Ah Fei originally was about to strike, but he suddenly turned his sword the opposite way, striking that shadow.

After a loud sound, the sword struck the shadow, which turned out to be Monk抯 beads.

The sword still vibrates, but Ah Fei remains motionless.

It抯 dawn now.

In the morning sunlight, six monks in grey clothes came into the all. The first with white eyebrows, but his face still looks sharp. His eyes shine bright.

He opened his hands. And those beads returned to his hands.

After getting over the shock, Zhao Zheng Yi gathered himself. Then bowed in front of this white-brow monk. 揑 didn抰 know reverend you are coming. I抦 sorry I wasn抰 able to greet you outside.�

The white-brow monk just smiled. His eyes focused on Ah Fei抯 face. Then said, 揧our sword is quite fast.�

Ah Fei said, 揑f my sword wasn抰 fast, I抦 afraid that you抎 arrive just in time to help me find the directions to the underworld.�

The white-brow monk said, 揑 simply did not want to see more deaths. That抯 why I made my move. Although your sword is fast, but it抯 still not as fast as the Buddha抯 eyes.�

Ah Fei said, 揃ut are your beads also faster than Buddha抯 eyes? If I were to die from your beads, then wouldn抰 there also be another death?�

Zhao Zheng Yi said, 揌ow dare you speak to a Reverend Shaolin elder like that?�

The white-brow monk just smiled. 揘o matter. This youngster抯 mouth is quite a sharp sword.�

Lin Xian Er suddenly said with a smile. 揝ince Reverend Xin Mei let you go, hurry and leave now.�

Zhao Zheng Yi said coldly, 揑抦 afraid he no longer has the chance to leave!�

Ah Fei said, 揜eally? Do you think you can block my path?�

While he spoke, he had already walked out the door.

Zhao Zheng Yi抯 expression changed. He said, 揜everend...�

Tian Qi hurried up and responded, 揈lder Xin Mei is very forgiving. He抯 just a youngster. Let him go.�

Xin Mei then said seriously. 揑 came after receiving a letter from the head of Shaolin, saying that a Shaolin disciple Qin Zhong is gravely injured. So I can as soon as I could.

Zhao Zheng Yi sighed. Then stared at Li Xun Huan. 揢nfortunately, Reverend came a bit too late.�

It抯 quite bright now outside. People are beginning to wonder around the streets. Ah Fei just walked on the snow. Although his steps are light, his heart is heavy.

Then he heard a voice. 揥ait up! Wait up!�

This voice is crisp and beautiful. Ah Fei didn抰 have to look back to know who抯 behind him.

This is because everyone has now stopped walking and talking, instead just staring like idiots at someone behind him.

Ah Fei did not turn around. He just kept on walking.

But then he smelled a sweet fragrance from behind his back. The fragrance extremely enchanting. He could not help but turn back.

Lin Xian Er is just as beautiful and alluring as ever.

Ah Fei抯 eyes are still as cold as the snow.

Lin Xian Er lowered her head, her face all red. 揑 came to apologize. I...�

Ah Fei said, 揧ou have nothing to apologize for.�

Lin Xian Er bit her teeth a bit. 揃ut those people are so wrong. And so impolite.�

Ah Fei said, 揟hat has nothing to do with you.�

Lin Xian Er said, 揃ut you saved me. How could I...�

Ah Fei said, 揑 saved you. I didn抰 save them. I didn抰 save you for you to apologize for them.�

He then asked, 揥hat else do you want to say?�

Lin Xian Er became speechless. She has never met anyone quite like this. She had always thought that even frozen mountains would melt in front of her.

Ah Fei said. 揋oodbye.�

He turned around and began to walk again. But after a few steps, Lin Xian Er suddenly yelled, 揌old on a minute. I have more things to tell you.�

Ah Fei said, 揟here抯 no need.�

Lin Xian Er then said, 揃ut... what if something happens to Li Xun Huan? Who would I tell?�

Ah Fei turned around and said, 揇o you know of the Shen抯 little inn on the west side?�

Lin Xian Er said, 揇on抰 forget. I抳e been living in this town for six years.�


揟hat抯 where I抣l be. Before nightfall, I won抰 leave.�

Lin Xian Er asked, 揂nd when night comes?�

Ah Fei looked at the sky for a long time. Then said, 揇on抰 forget. Li Xun Huan抯 my friend. I don抰 have many friends. As for a friend like Li Xun Huan, it抯 impossible to find another one like him. So if he were to die, this world would become incredibly uninteresting.�

Lin Xian Er sighed. 揑 knew you抮e still planning on rescuing him. But do you realize that no matter how good a friend is, he抯 still not worth as much as your own life.�

Ah Fei looked down at Lin Xian Er, staring at her intently in the eyes. Then he said slowly and clearly, 揑 sincerely hope you never ever say this sort of thing again. This time, I抣l just pretend that I didn抰 hear you!�
