Chapter 96 – Tit for tat

S: The previous chapter was messed up again, 95 was written as 94, it has been corrected, don't laugh at my old age dementia.

Zhao Changhe really didn't know how to find Xia Chichi, let alone Xia Chichi herself. At this moment, he didn't even know where Han Wubing was.

He returned to the inn with a muddled mind and coincidentally ran into Han Wubing at the door.

Zhao Changhe let out a sigh of relief and saw that Han Wubing was still holding the same ordinary sword. He couldn't help but pat his head and say, "I forgot... I could have asked them for a sword just now."

Han Wubing asked curiously, "Who?"

"Uh, it's nothing. Did Brother Han find anything?"

"Not really. Someone invited me to see a sword at Gujian Lake. I thought it wouldn't hurt to take a look, so I agreed."

Zhao Changhe's expression became very interesting.

Having both sentiment and righteousness, being faithful to one's promises, why didn't he think of it before? This little Han brother almost perfectly matched the criteria! The Four Elephant Sect actually came to him.

Don't say anything about just taking a look, how could you resist when you're a sword fanatic? Moreover, the sword is likely to recognize you.

"Did you have a lover before?"

"Never."

"What about the one who sacrificed blood for his deceased friend before?"

"That was a man. We became friends through a duel, similar to you. We fought, but we admired each other."

It turns out that being single has this advantage. If you haven't dated before, there's no such thing as being unfaithful. As long as the person is trustworthy, it's enough.

Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked at him, "Similar to me, so if I die, you will avenge me like that?"

Han Wubing said naturally, "Yes."

Zhao Changhe laughed and patted his shoulder, "I think you can really take that sword, but treasures are easy to obtain, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Be careful of the person who invited you. If they don't act, it's fine. If they do, I'll follow you."

Treasures are easy to obtain, but people's hearts are unpredictable... This struck Han Wubing's sore spot, and his eyes became somewhat dark, "Okay."

Unexpectedly, the protagonist and the other party's action time were determined here. Zhao Changhe felt a little relieved and thought he would look for Xia Chichi in the next few days. If he could find her, he would ask her to stop the plan directly. If he couldn't find her, he would go with Han Wubing that day and see how to secretly communicate with Xia Chichi at the scene. At least it's a backup plan.

As a matter of fact, when a non-player character feels that there is a guaranteed reward for drawing a box, they can only draw the guaranteed reward.

For several consecutive days, Zhao Changhe almost wandered around the entire Jianhu City. There were several attempts by bandits who didn't know what was good for them and wanted to rob him, and several murder cases were committed. However, Xia Chichi could not be found.

The Four Elephant Sect could not be easily found in order to avoid the eyes of the Demon Suppression Division, and Xia Chichi did not dare to come out in the current situation. Tang Wanzhuang also sent people to search secretly, but she couldn't find her either, let alone Zhao Changhe.

But Zhao Changhe felt that Xia Chichi had lost this time. The little demon girl who led the team for the first time, along with her subordinates, probably didn't expect that their opponent for such a small matter would be the head of the Demon Suppression Division. They were not on the same level...

On the other hand, if Tang Wanzhuang knew that her opponent was actually a real princess, what would her mood be like?Facing southeast, it's the beginning of summer.

Han Wubing walked slowly along the shore of Gujian Lake, searching for the other party's traces.

Gujian Lake is not a bustling place, in fact, compared to the nearby prosperous city, it is very quiet. Due to the "sword qi rising and killing people" incident, there are no tourists coming here to play, only those who are bold enough to take risks and seek treasures. They only come here occasionally. Several groups of people are scattered along the vast lake, making it look empty and desolate.

The people of the Four Elephant Sect are also very conspicuous here, there is nowhere to hide even if they want to hide, and there are probably only a few masters hiding in the bamboo forest behind. A group of people in black robes, surrounded a beautiful girl, looked like a group of servants taking their young lady out for a walk.

But Han Wubing recognized the person who spoke to him that day at a glance, and also recognized the little demon girl who had fought with Zhao Changhe with her mouth.

No wonder Zhao Changhe followed them.

Han Wubing slowly approached and stood outside the alert line where he could run away at any time, bowing his hand: "Han Mou is here, how about we have a sword fight?"

The little demon girl glanced at him and hesitated, asking the first question: "What is your relationship with Zhao Changhe?"

"Han Wubing: Friends."

"How good of a friend?"

"He saved my life."

"In fact, you also saved his life." The little demon girl put her hands on her hips. "If it weren't for you messing around, I would have taken his head."

Probably a small head, she might have been able to take it at that time, but it's hard to say where to put it after taking it.

Han Wubing thought to himself, saying: "So, miss, are you here to trouble me because of what happened that day?"

Xia Chichi hesitated. If this person is Zhao Changhe's friend and he tricks him, Zhao Changhe might get angry with her. She really didn't know what to do. She originally thought these two were enemies who were going to fight, but it didn't seem right these days. These two seemed to be getting along well...

"Zhao Changhe's dog head is easy to get, your little mischief is nothing. As long as you fulfill our agreement, that little thing will be forgotten."

Han Wubing clearly heard what the little demon girl said, but suddenly heard the sound of a voice transmission turning around: "We will set up a sacrifice ceremony later, the sword will definitely appear, but don't get crazy about the sword. Even if you like it very much, the sword will reject you, don't touch it. Remember, remember!"

Han Wubing's heart moved, combining with Zhao Changhe's warning, he instantly knew the general situation and sighed in his heart. No wonder the little demon girl's first question was about his relationship with Zhao Changhe. She didn't want to trick Zhao Changhe's friend... He couldn't even do a voice transmission, which meant that this girl might have reached the sixth level of Xuan Guan. But in a group of strong people, it's really easy to reveal oneself when using voice transmission. She really likes Zhao Changhe.

He bowed his hand calmly: "As Han Mou said before, as long as the sword is suitable, the agreement is established."

Xia Chichi giggled: "Han Gongzi is trustworthy, we can trust you. Okay, it's almost noon, let the ceremony begin."

Zhao Changhe, who was using enhanced long-distance vision to spy from afar, was anxious and turned around, saying that he wanted to find a chance to communicate with Xia Chichi. But in such an empty area, with a group of people surrounding Xia Chichi, how could he communicate?

He saw a group of people in black robes dispersing and forming an irregular Nan Dou formation, chanting.

Even Han Wubing had never seen such a weird and mysterious thing before.Attempting to sense it, Zhao Changhe's five senses at the fifth level of Xuan Guan were completely unable to detect any energy fluctuations or changes in aura, and he had no idea where the effects of this formation and ritual were manifested.

However, it was very obvious that there was gradually some movement at the bottom of the lake.

As the sun moved closer to its zenith, the lakebed faintly began to feel a slight tremor, as if an earthquake had occurred in the far distance, and this place was experiencing the aftershocks. Soon after, the swordsman's intuition quickly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and he could vaguely perceive a sharp sword intent spreading in the center of the lake.

At this moment, an arrow shot out from the distant bamboo forest like a thunderbolt, aiming directly at the leading elder in the center of the ritual.

"Who dares to cause trouble!" The elder was a Qinglong Guardian, a formidable figure on the Human List, and he easily deflected the arrow with a wave of his hand. However, the ritual was indeed disrupted for a moment by this interference.

From the bamboo forest, Zhao Changhe's laughter rang out: "The Holy Maiden wants my head, so I'll spoil her plan. Tit for tat, come and chase me if you dare!"
