Chapter 49 Uninvited Guest

In an empty spot behind the martial arts hall, Xiao Xia handed the cloth bag to Qiu Hailiang, "Fifteen pills of Xiao Huan Dan, and a list of recipes!"

Of course, what Xiao Xia gave him was a copy and he could not have given him the original.

Qiu Hailiang's eyes suddenly widened and he grabbed the bag, fearing that it would fly away. His voice trembled, "Is it true? Xiao Huan Dan and the formula!"

Xiao Xia nodded, "Liu Erhu gave it to me before he died. I'll keep half and give you the other half!"

Qiu Hailiang opened the bag and sniffed it, it was really the Little Huandan!

He was so excited that tears came to his eyes. His family had been waiting for it for twenty years and had paid countless tributes to the Xiao family, but the Xiao family just wouldn't agree. He had been lurking for it for five years and had been waiting for it in vain. Unexpectedly, he got it at an unexpected moment.

Qiu Hailiang wiped away his tears and said, "Xiao Qilang, how can I thank you? I'll give you three thousand strings of cash. Is that enough?"

Xiao Xia smiled and shook his head. "If it was for money, I wouldn't give it to you. I just want to be your friend. If I get into trouble in the future, I can go to the Huai River to hide for a few days!"

Qiu Hailiang nodded and said solemnly: "I have made you my friend. You can come to the Qiu family anytime. You will always be the most distinguished guest of our Qiu family!"

Xiao Xia clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, hurry up and leave! Keep it safe."

Qiu Hailiang nodded and turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao Xia, "If you copied a copy of the formula, you can sell it to the Jiangning Xiao family or the Jinling Xiao family."

Xiao Xia pretended to be stunned, "Don't they have it?"

Qiu Hailiang said calmly: "If they had it, the Xiao family in Jiangning would not have let Liu Erhu steal the formula."

Xiao Xia suddenly realized that Liu Erhu had stolen the prescription for the Xiao family in Jiangning.

Zhang Jue originally planned to sell Xiao Huan Dan and the recipe to Jinling Xiao family. The reason why he didn't give it to them was that he wanted to keep this favor for himself.

"I understand, thank you!"

"If you have any difficulties, just come to Chuzhou and find me!"

Qiu Hailiang waved his hand and turned away.

The next morning, Chai Shao and his wife came to the Warrior Court and went straight to Xiao Xia's yard.

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed on the roof of the yard. Chai Shao saw it clearly. He was startled and drew his sword to chase after it.

After a while, he stopped, his face full of confusion.

At this time, Li Ping caught up, "Husband, who is that? It's actually a sixth-rank martial artist!"

They are all masters, and they can tell the other party's martial arts foundation as soon as the other party moves.

Chai Shao said in surprise: "I can't believe it, that person turned out to be He Ruoyue!"

"He Ruo Laowu? Isn't he a palace guard? What is he doing here? Husband, you are not seeing things!"

Chai Shao shook his head. "I wouldn't mistake him. It's him. Could he be spying on Xiao Xia?"

The couple looked at each other, and they both realized that Xiao Xia from Luoyang might be extraordinary!
Yesterday, Lao Liu told them that Xiao Xia had only practiced martial arts for less than two months. The two of them just couldn't believe it. Xiao Xia's agility when catching the silver showed that he had practiced martial arts for at least ten years.

Both of them vaguely guessed that Xiao Xia must be hiding some secrets.

It was discovered early this morning that the palace guard He Ruoyue was actually monitoring Xiao Xia.

The two hurried back to Xiao Xia's yard, just in time to meet Xiao Xia running out of the yard. He was about to go to Xiao Zhurong's house to practice flying needles.

Li Ping was shocked and exclaimed, "Husband, he actually broke through the barrier!"

Xiao Xia was also stunned when he saw the two of them. He clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Why are you two immortal lovers here?"

Chai Shao quickly stopped his wife and said with a smile, "We came to Jiangdu specifically to visit an old friend you know, Zhang Jue. Do you know where he went?"

Xiao Xia's expression suddenly changed, and he ran away. "Don't run!"

Chai Shao and his wife were chasing closely behind.

Xiao Xia broke through all the obstacles and ran as fast as lightning, which made Chai Shao and his wife secretly astonished. This kid ran too fast, this was not just an ordinary obstacle breaking!
Xiao Xia secretly cursed himself for being so stupid. He didn't realize that they were the Chai Shao couple, and even asked Lao Liu to deliver meals to them. Lao Liu must have let the cat out of the bag and told about Zhang Jue's affairs.

Xiao Xia slammed on the brakes, and there was a dead end ahead.

He slowly drew out his sword, turned around and said to the two people who had caught up with him: "I know who you are? But Zhang Jue is gone, there is no point in you finding me!"

Chai Shao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't be nervous, we have no ill intentions!"

Xiao Xia shook his head. "He told me. I know you're holding a grudge for the sword fight five years ago, but you also stabbed him half to death, so we should be even. Mr. Chai, life is only a few short decades long. If you hold a grudge all day long, you won't be able to accomplish anything great!"

Chai Shao shook his head, "Although what you said is true, it's not because he stabbed me with a sword that I hold a grudge against him, but because he stole my father's most beloved white jade lion!"

Xiao Xia simply threw it all out, "The pair of white jade lions were paperweights in Emperor Wu of Liang's study. They were snatched away by Hou Jing and ended up in your Chai family. I know the pair of white jade lions, and I promise to return them to you in the future. Please let him go!"

"Is he your master?" Li Ping asked.

"No, he is my friend and an elder whom I respect."

Chai Shao shook his head, "Xiao Shaolang, I just hate him for stealing. He actually dared to steal from the Chai family!"

"Master Chai, I can tell you the truth. Zhang Jue was originally a general of the Southern Dynasty. After thousands of his soldiers were captured by the Sui army, they were all beheaded by the Yangtze River. He was the only one who survived. He had been supporting the parents of these soldiers. He stole because someone paid him a high price. After he got the money, he bought food for the parents of these soldiers, supported them, and sent them to the grave. Don't you think his stealing was excusable?"

At this point, Xiao Xia's tears flowed down. He wanted to seek justice for Zhang Jue. Zhang Jue was not a thief but a man of integrity. He wanted to resolve this hatred for Zhang Jue.

Chai Shao was shocked. After a while, he clasped his fists and said, "I am not a heartless and ungrateful person. If it is really as you said, then the five-year feud is over."

"You can go to Jiangnan to find out if what I said is true."

Chai Shao nodded, "Okay! Then we'll take our leave."

"Wait a minute!"

Li Ping stopped her husband and stared at Xiao Xia fiercely, "I can stop caring about Zhang Jue, but I want to know why the palace guards are watching you?"

Xiao Xia was also stunned, "I don't know! When did it happen?"

"Just now, we found him lying on your roof, and he ran away."

Xiao Xia was immediately furious, "It's that bastard who's haunting us again!"

He explained to Li Ping: "I also spotted him once, but I really didn't know who he was. I also didn't know why he was spying on me. I was just as confused as you."

Li Ping shook her head and said, "Xiao Liulang said that you have only practiced martial arts for two months, but you have broken through the barrier. There is only one explanation for this situation. You have been taking medicine since you were a child. Who are your parents?"

Xiao Xia secretly exclaimed, "This woman is amazing!"

"I don't know what you are talking about. Mr. Chai, goodbye."

Xiao Xia turned and left. Li Ping sneered and swung her sword. Xiao Xia's clothes were instantly torn apart, and a pile of copper coins and a cloth bag fell to the ground.

Xiao Xia was shocked and reached out to grab the cloth bag. It contained his medicine and he always carried it with him for fear that Xiao Guizi would steal it.

But he was still a step too slow. The sword flashed again and the medicine bag was in Li Ping's hands.

Xiao Xia was filled with hatred and stretched out his hand, saying, "That's my medicine, please give it back to me, Li Sanniang!"

Li Ping ignored him and took out a green pill from her cloth bag. She was startled, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, and her face suddenly changed.

"Spring Rain Pill!"
