Chapter 222: Now that you have met the Saint Lady, why not bow?
At this time, the sun was rising and the thick fog in the pine forest was gradually dissipating.
Ren Yingying looked through the blood-red veil at the young man riding on the horse. He had phoenix eyes and crescent eyebrows, and was extremely handsome. He sheathed his sword in a natural and unrestrained manner, while a red sun was rising slowly behind him.
Zhang Yu!
As expected, the little man in Chengde Hall that day has become a rising star in the Sun and Moon Sect.
He had a grudge against Yang Lianting, but refused to be recruited by the Ren family, which seemed unwise.
However, the Saint Lady had experienced several ups and downs, and before that, she had always been away from the Black Wood Cliff.
Zhang Yu had no one to rely on, but he made steady progress and today, he has already stepped half a foot into the threshold of Chengde Hall.
Ren Yingying suddenly understood, "It turns out that he has never thought of joining anyone, whether it is the Ren family or Dongfang Bubai."
Ren Yingying walked to Zu Qianqiu's side and said, "Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Zhang, for saving my life."
Zhang Yu rode on his horse, bowed and smiled, "So it's the Saint Lady in person, I'm sorry for the rudeness."
Zu Qianqiu was a loner in the sect and didn't know the details. He was just wondering in his heart that since the other party was a member of the Divine Sect, why didn't he bow to the Saint Lady?
Ren Yingying said self-deprecatingly: "Saint Aunt? There aren't many people who still recognize this identity."
"Apart from the will of the Eastern Patriarch, what else does anyone else say count for?"
As Zhang Yu spoke, he suddenly looked up at the other end of the road.
At this time, the sun was high in the sky.
Four or five wandering wanderers, carrying packages on their whistles, rushed into the pine forest. Suddenly they saw the Shura Field in front of them and more than ten riders who looked like evil spirits. They froze in place, screamed, and fled away rolling and crawling with their legs as if they had cramps.
Ren Yingying chuckled and said, "Uncle Dongfang sent an envoy to Luoyang to summon me back to Blackwood Cliff. Some people were not happy about it. It's less than a hundred miles away from Pingding City. They chose a good place to attack. If it weren't for you saving me, I would have died this time."
This group of black-clad killers were well-trained, had a plan for advance and retreat, and had ambushed Ren Yingying in advance on her way back to Pingding City. It didn't take much guessing to know that they were Yang Lianting's men.
"How should I thank you for saving my life?"
Zhang Yu rode on his horse, looking down at this holy lady from the Divine Religion who had caused many troubles but was always tolerated by Dongfang Bubai.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she always wore a conical hat on her head, a white skirt and white boots. She had a unique holy aura. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, from her figure, I could see that her skin was white, and her figure was plump and slender, so she must be an extraordinary person.
The master was humiliated and the minister died. Zu Qianqiu was about to step forward but was stopped.
Ren Yingying was calm and composed. She looked at the man on the horse and asked, "How do you want me to reward you?"
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Saint Aunt..."
Qiu Ping'an and Liu Ruyan looked at Zhang Yu, surprised. Is the commander so direct?
Zhang Yu chuckled.
"The sword technique Saint Lady used just now was quite interesting."
"Hidden sword technique."
"Ok?"
"You forgot that in Qianhonglou that year, I was going to give you this very sword technique in order to win you over."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly: "In that case, I missed a lot of things."
Ren Yingying said: "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "That may not be the case. Mountains and rivers are bound to meet each other."
Ren Yingying smiled and said, "Okay, after returning to Pingding City, I will have someone send the sword technique to your house."
Except for Zu Qianqiu, all other subordinates died in the battle. This place is still more than a hundred miles away from Heimu Cliff. Yang Lianting has already grasped his whereabouts. If he travels alone, I am afraid it will not be so smooth.
"The Saint Lady is doing a good job in business."
Zhang Yu smiled and nodded, and asked someone to bring the two lost horses. Ren Yingying and Zu Qianqiu rode on them. A group of more than ten people headed west. After running for half a day, they saw the east gate of Pingding City before noon.
"Shut up!"
Ren Yingying reined in her horse, turned to look at Zhang Yu, and asked, "Two years ago, I could have given you the Hidden Sword Technique. With your aptitude for swordsmanship, you should have mastered it by now and become a top-notch expert. Don't you think it's a pity that you took such a long detour?"
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "That's different."
Ren Yingying thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It's different. Today is different from the past. You are already the deputy head of the Dharma Guardian Hall." "In succession."
"Hand over Yang Fengming's head, and the word 'substitute' should be removed at least."
"Thank you so much for your kind words, Saint Aunt."
Ren Yingying smiled and said, "It's just a small effort. Why wouldn't I be happy to make friends with you?"
Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Friend? Miss Ren, you finally don't want to take me in as a dog?"
The smile on Ren Yingying's face faltered slightly.
The two sides said goodbye outside the city.
........................
The red sun rose from the mountains, spreading red ripples across Wujiao Lake. More than a dozen wild carps leaped out of the water, splashing water five or six feet high. With the daily fixed feeding, some of the wild carps settled down there.
"Crash..."
The figure stood still by the lake. In just a moment, a black shadow swayed in the water, and dozens of carp swam over from all directions, gathered at his feet, scrambling forward to wait to be fed.
In the Sword Hanging Pavilion, Di Baiying stood leaning against the railing, his robe fluttering in the wind.
"Qi sinks into Dantian, and strength penetrates all four extremities!"
The right palm is facing up and the left palm is covering down, forming a circle, and the true energy gradually gathers.
"boom!"
He pushed his palms forward, and his inner energy instantly penetrated into the lake like an arch bridge. The lake surface shook violently, and the waves exploded two or three feet high. Dozens of wild carp became dizzy, flew into the air, fell to the shore, and struggled desperately covered in mud.
Di Baiying retracted his palms and said with a smile: "Send all these greedy beasts to the kitchen."
Di Ying glanced at the two disciples who were still picking up the carp, walked around the chessboard that had not yet been completed, walked in front of Di Baiying, and chuckled, "Uncle's martial arts are truly superb. In the Divine Sect, except for the Eastern Sect Leader, I'm afraid no one can be Uncle's opponent."
Di Baiying shook his head gently: "Don't talk nonsense! The Divine Sect is full of hidden talents, and there are many masters among the scattered visitors in the three mountains and five peaks. Otherwise, why would the Eastern Sect Master use the Three Corpses Brain Pill to control them?"
Di Ying said at this time: "Uncle, I heard a piece of news at Blackwood Cliff."
"what news?"
"There are rumors that the Saint Lady has colluded with Doctor Ping and has developed an antidote for the Three Corpses Brain Pill. In order to maintain the overall situation of the Divine Cult, the Eastern Cult Leader put aside past grudges and recalled the Saint Lady to Blackwood Cliff to share power with Yang Lianting."
Di Baiying asked, "Did Yang Lianting's people tell you about it?"
Di Ying nodded.
Di Baiying sneered, somewhat disapprovingly: "Nine out of ten of Yang Lianting's words are false."
Di Ying asked, "What if it's true?"
Di Baiying was silent for a moment, and said: "If it is true, I am afraid that Saint Lady will be able to gain a firm foothold on Blackwood Cliff this time. Even the Eastern Sect Leader will not easily touch her in the future."
"so smart?"
Di Baiying sneered, "It's not that she's amazing, she's just a bit clever. The world is like a chess game, each game is new, and everyone has their own way to break the game. Miss Ren's trick works, but it may not be really smart."
Di Ying said happily: "Anyway, Yang Lianting has something to do."
Di Baiying relaxed his brows and smiled. His old rival was in trouble, so he was naturally in a good mood.
He then asked, “When Yang Fengming’s head was delivered, what was Yang Lianting’s reaction?”
Di Ying said truthfully: "No response."
Di Baiying was slightly surprised: "No response?"
Di Ying said: "Yes, he doesn't seem to care."
Di Baiying chuckled and said, "That's strange."
The greedy carps in the lake have temporarily fled, but as long as there is bait in hand, they will sooner or later forget their pain and gather again...
