Tang Wanzhuang let her subordinates chase after, the trick was executed perfectly, but her gaze had already fallen on another direction, the distant wild by the lake, and the other hill opposite the hill she was standing on.

Yue Elder and the others didn't know where Zhao Changhe was, but her senses were much stronger, and she had already seen him.

Zhao Changhe and Han Wubing were standing on the hill, watching the chaotic farce below. It seemed that Zhao Changhe felt that Tang Wanzhuang had no intention of really hurting Xia Chichi. He sighed and looked at Han Wubing with a strange expression.

Han Wubing also looked back at him.

It seemed that the external affairs were over, and it was time for their own business.

The moods of the two idiots were strange. It was supposed to be the day of their duel, but after all the fussing and helping each other, and now that they both had swords, everything was ready, but they had no intention to fight.

"Do we still fight?" Zhao Changhe asked.

"It's a fight we agreed on, so we should finish it," Han Wubing replied.

Zhao Changhe grinned, "Do you know how long I've wanted to beat you up?"

"I know. At least twice, once in your room and once just now."

Zhao Changhe drew his sword, "Then give me two hits, and we'll call it even."

Han Wubing drew his sword, "Don't you know that everyone who sees your antics wants to beat you up?"

Alright, they were ready to fight.

The clash of swords was imminent.

Tang Wanzhuang shook her head lightly from afar, "It's better to be a carefree child like before. Let's go back."

The maid was curious, "Miss, don't you want to see the outcome of the fight? Han Wubing's cultivation is higher than Zhao Changhe's. What if he accidentally hurts him...?"

"He won't get hurt. At most, it's just a skin injury. He deserves it."

"If Zhao Changhe wins, will the Chaos Chronicles flash?"

"It won't flash. If this kind of fight is considered a battle... then Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi might have a more intense battle in the future, maybe even tonight. Will the Chaos Chronicles flash or not?"

The maid was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Miss, you're so smart."

Tang Wanzhuang rubbed her forehead and pondered, "His relationship with the demon woman of the Four Elephant Sect is so inappropriate. According to reason, I should find a way to sabotage it... but his sense of righteousness is genuine. If I really cause damage, it will create a rift between us. This is really difficult."

The maid looked at her and hesitated to speak.

Of course, forcibly sabotaging it would create a rift, but there is another way to sabotage it, such as snatching him away. Not only would there be no rift, but it would also bring them closer. Miss, with your intelligence, haven't you thought of this?

Of course, Tang Wanzhuang had not thought of such a thing. Who would think of such a thing and put themselves in it... besides, she didn't want to marry into the imperial family because of Zhao Changhe.

In the end, her strategy was simple and straightforward, "Search the entire region and capture the demon people of the Four Elephant Sect and Mile Sect, and restore peace to the city of Jianhu!"

Drive Xia Chichi away first, at least they can't start a fire today. They'll think about how to handle it later.

The sun was setting.

The city officials were hunting down the demon sect, and two big children were fighting outside the city.

After more than an hour of fighting, both were exhausted and stopped. They lay on the hill, watching the sunset, and didn't want to speak.

The Chaos Chronicles did not flash.

For Zhao Changhe, a satisfying battle was more comfortable than being entangled in identity and emotions. Originally, there shouldn't have been any of these petty things at the ancient sword lake. Traveling a thousand miles, meeting for a duel, and having a satisfying battle, isn't that great... but now the atmosphere was ruined by more than half. It's a pity.At this moment, Zhao Changhe could understand why both sides could appreciate each other after the fight between Cui Yuanyong and Yue Hongling. When you swung your sword and it was cleverly resolved by the other side, you could truly feel admiration in your heart.

So he knew how to handle it perfectly the next time. Strength was gained in this trial.

"Xiao Han..." Zhao Changhe suddenly said, "Did you hide a killer move just now? I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp for a moment."

"Correct." Han Wubing looked at the sky, "The victory is already decided."

"Phew!" Zhao Changhe wanted to save face, but he knew that he had intentionally suppressed the power of the dragon and sparrow, and without the power of the divine weapon, he might really lose. He asked, "You have a killer move, why didn't you use it when you were in danger before?"

"Because you inspired me when you were with your woman, and I realized it in the sword room."

"Zhao Changhe: Women really slow down the speed of cultivation."

Han Wubing said, "If there is a need, just go to the brothel. A warrior's heart should not be burdened by such things."

"If someone likes you?"

"If rejected clearly, there will be no such thing as a one-night stand. I'm not interested anyway, why mislead someone for a lifetime?" Han Wubing said, "As a hero like you, you shouldn't be entangled in love affairs, it always feels awkward."

"So the Jianghu in our hearts is different."

"Oh?" Han Wubing said, "Enlightening the sword in one's heart, isn't it for justice in the world? Aren't you almost there with your sword?"

Zhao Changhe took out his wine gourd and took a big sip, "My dream is to travel the world with my sword and wine, with a slim waist and a light grip. Now I have fulfilled the first half of the sentence, although I use a knife... the second half doesn't seem to suit me, I always feel embarrassed."

Han Wubing thought for a moment and laughed, "Although it doesn't suit your personality very well, it seems you are already on the road. But I advise you, this seems like something a womanizer would say. If you keep going like this, Xia Chichi's sword on her waist will take your head sooner or later."

Zhao Changhe suddenly remembered the second half of the original poem.

"Ten years of sleep, Yangzhou dream, winning the name of a brothel lover."

Xiao Han is very sensitive.

But speaking of which, the one who is actually a brothel lover is him, and he doesn't like to do such things.

So how do you define a brothel lover?

Han Wubing suddenly said, "My interest has faded, it's time for us to part. No one will disturb you from gnawing on women anymore."

Zhao Changhe asked, "Where are you going?"

Han Wubing said, "Back to the bottom of the lake."

Zhao Changhe: "?"

"That's the land of swordsmen. I plan to enlighten my sword there."

"How long?"

"Unknown, but daily necessities can also be bought in the city. Life is not a problem."

Zhao Changhe pursed his lips. This is very much like a swordsman, but unfortunately, he is afraid he cannot live like this for even a day.

"Then goodbye." Zhao Changhe got up and patted Han Wubing's shoulder, "You may be my first friend in the Jianghu."

Han Wubing smiled without answering. If you don't count the dead friends, Zhao Changhe is actually his only friend in the Jianghu.

Zhao Changhe didn't say anything else, put on his dragon and sparrow, and left with big strides, "Goodbye, hope to see you again, you have already come out of the abyss."

Han Wubing watched his back and thought to himself that this guy is actually quite cultured.

I wonder if his words mean that he has come out of the bottom of the lake or the Qianlong out of the abyss.In fact, there were still many things that everyone had not done. Han Wubing had matters concerning the Sword Pavilion, which others didn't know, but there were some important connections and relations to the previous era. Zhao Changhe was like a gathering storm, with all the events surrounding him being of high importance, whether it was the Cui family, the Four Elephant Sect, or the Demon Suppression Division.

However, as each other's only friends, neither of them had mentioned anything like "Do you have anything that needs my help?" They didn't even ask about each other's situations, because they both felt that these were matters they had to face themselves.

Once you've resolved it, you can leave the abyss.

Han Wubing had a strong premonition that the next time they met, if they didn't die, they would be famous all over the world.

Upon returning to Sword Lake City, Zhao Changhe hadn't even walked out of one street before he was stopped by a familiar brothel madam: "Hey, young master, have you forgotten someone?"

With the strange gazes of people on the streets and alleys, Zhao Changhe rubbed his head and entered through the back door.

The bamboo forest was still quiet and serene, with no sound of a zither to be heard.

Zhao Changhe walked up the bamboo building with familiarity, where Tang Wanzhuang was lying on a table, writing something. She occasionally coughed lightly, showing no trace of her extraordinary strength from when she had blocked the Maitreya Sect Leader. She only appeared weak and yet hardworking.

Zhao Changhe suddenly thought of Prime Minister Zhuge... Although Tang Wanzhuang's importance to the empire was definitely not as great as Zhuge's, the feeling was quite similar.

Zhao Changhe stood at the door for a while before finally breaking the silence: "Why don't you care about your reputation at all? You don't even avoid associating yourself with the brothel."

Tang Wanzhuang didn't even lift her head: "Outsiders don't know, and those who do know won't think about it for no reason. The brothel is just a place to hide, as long as it's useful."

"How is it useful? Anything would be better than this, right?"

"Because the brothel has many guests coming and going, there's a lot of information, which is convenient."

"You've read the Spring and Autumn Annals too?"

Tang Wanzhuang finally stopped writing: "Why are you standing there? Come in and talk."

"I came to report back. After I'm done, I'll leave." Zhao Changhe said, "Although the sword was taken by Xia Chichi, the disaster you were worried about didn't happen. Does that count as completing the task? If so, I'll leave."

"Do you think this task can directly offset the merits of your cultivation method and the Dragon Sparrow?"

"I know it's not a one-time deal, and there's more to come, but you can't keep giving me tasks, right? To be honest, if you really make me work 996, I won't do it."

Tang Wanzhuang didn't know what 996 was, and she didn't bother to ask, she just said, "The second task is very simple, you can complete it now, as long as you nod your head."

Zhao Changhe curiously asked, "What task?"

"Stay in the brothel tonight, pick any girl, and sleep until dawn to complete the task."

Zhao Changhe immediately knew what she was thinking, and he was not happy in his heart: "Don't force me to mock you again."

Tang Wanzhuang looked at him steadily, knowing what he would say if he mocked her at this moment.

"Forget it." Zhao Changhe turned to leave, "Seeing you working so hard at your desk, any normal person would have some respect, so I won't say anything unpleasant. But I don't want anyone to interfere in my emotional affairs, even if my own father comes, it's not allowed."
