Chapter 89: Heatstroke
In the warm afternoon sun, two sword-riding figures slowly flew across the sky, which really attracted people's attention.
"Look, what is that?"
"Xu Xiaoshou?"
"It seems to be him, reverse sword-riding technique!"
Some people were excited. Xu Xiaoshou is currently famous in the outer courtyard. After all, he is a champion and often has various outstanding actions. Many people know him.
"Who is that next to him? Such a big sword, blocking everyone."
"It looks like Su Qianqian from the inner courtyard. Impossible, I must have seen it wrong. How could Su Qianqian and Xu Xiaoshou go to the streets together!"
"Yeah, you must have seen it wrong, but she can also "reverse sword-riding technique", so amazing!"
"Amazing, why do I feel dizzy..."
In the sky, Su Qianqian was indeed a little dizzy, but she forced herself to overcome it, "Brother Xiaoshou, why are we flying so slowly?"
Xu Xiaoshou glared, "How can this be called slow? This is called steady!"
"You, you are just too impatient. You have to be steady in everything, don't you understand?"
"Oh." Su Qianqian was trained obediently.
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the information bar:
"Envied, passive value, +32."
"Praised, passive value, +4."
"Envied, passive value, +122."
"..."
This wave of harvest is a sure thing, how can it be fast?
And if you want to be fast, you have to be able to fly. The current speed is almost his limit...
The passive values in stock have become single digits after the lottery. After being devoured by the sword energy of the masked man, it has contributed thousands of passive values.
But this method of earning money is not as comfortable as it is now.
Look, it's just a short distance from the courtyard to the Ehu Lake. By accumulating little by little, gathering sand into a tower, dripping into a river, and gathering feathers into a coat... I'm almost going to get 2,000 passive values.
Xu Xiaoshou felt like he had developed a new way to make money.
Anyway, the game is over now, and there is no safe fight to fight. In the future, I will go out for a walk twice a day. While getting some fresh air, the passive values I brush are almost as good as fighting a fight.
If it's during peak traffic hours...
"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoshou's saliva was about to flow out.
The two flew to Ehu Lake, and Su Qianqian finally put away his playful mentality and said solemnly: "Brother Xiaoshou, did someone kill you last night?"
Xu Xiaoshou came back to his senses. He didn't expect the information to spread so quickly, so this is the purpose of Su Qianqian coming to find him?
"Elder Xiao told you?"
Su Qianqian shook her head, "My master won't tell me this."
"Actually, I came to find Brother Xiaoshou this time to congratulate him, but more importantly, I want Brother Xiaoshou to pay attention to a few people in the inner courtyard."
"Is it related to the killer last night?" Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows.
Su Qianqian nodded: "It may also be related to the killer in the future."
Xu Xiaoshou's not-so-stable sword-controlling skills almost lost control. He swayed for a while and quickly stabilized his body again.
So, is it really just the beginning as he guessed?
"Wen Chong?" He asked tentatively.
Su Qianqian's eyes were filled with surprise, "You know?"
"I guessed..." Xu Xiaoshou's eyesight was not good, as expected, things always develop in the worst direction, "Please tell me in detail."
Su Qianqian sorted out the clues and said, "Brother Xiaoshou, do you know the '33 people in the inner courtyard'?"
Xu Xiaoshou nodded, then shook his head, he had only heard of it a little.
Su Qianqian explained: "The 33 people in the inner courtyard, as the name suggests, are the 33 strongest people in the inner courtyard with a total of more than 100 people."
"It is also a list, and it will be re-elected once a year, basically before the 'Wind and Cloud Domination' of the outer courtyard."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded, he had never known about this before.
Su Qianqian continued, "There are not many disciples who enter the inner courtyard every year, and there may even be zero, but there are many who are discouraged because of the failure to compete for the thirty-three people."
"Among them, there are many who have struggled for several years, but ultimately failed."
"After a series of setbacks, coupled with the end of their potential, they basically can't get the resources of the inner courtyard. If they stay, they may be surpassed by the geniuses who have just entered the inner courtyard..."
"Therefore, these people generally choose to leave Linggong and develop themselves outside."
She paused and looked at Xu Xiaoshou, "Before leaving, some people will choose to make a fortune, then leave secretly and never come back!"
Xu Xiaoshou understood something at once.
It turned out that those two guys last night were like this, no wonder they dared to take action in Linggong, and tried to assassinate a mere outer courtyard disciple as an inner courtyard disciple...
"So, there are people in the inner courtyard who are related to Wen Chong, and because I killed Wen Chong, they sent people to kill me?" Xu Xiaoshou keenly realized the key to the problem.
"Yes." Su Qianqian nodded, "These assassins are just minions, it's no big deal, the main thing is the man behind the scenes."
Xu Xiaoshou's figure on the sword shook again, minions...
You almost scared me to death!
"The man behind the scenes?" He repeated the last word.
Su Qianqian's eyes flashed with fear, and said: "Zhang Xinxiong."
This is a name Xu Xiaoshou has never heard of. He was a little confused: "Is it related to Wen Chong?"
"Yes, in-laws."
"The eldest son of the Zhang family in Tiansang County, he is very tall and strong, with ancestral blood power. He entered the inner courtyard five years ago and his strength is unfathomable."
Five years ago? !
Who the hell can resist this?
Xu Xiaoshou lost his balance and fell from the sky.
Fortunately, he didn't fly high. He knelt on the ground, patted his clothes and waved upward.
"Come down and talk. It's a bit cold up there."
Su Qianqian tilted her head and looked at the big sun above her head. Cool?
It was a hot day. There was no wind when flying so slowly. How could it be cold?
But she was still very obedient. She scratched her head and jumped down.
Xu Xiaoshou walked in front, thinking about the three words "Zhang Xinxiong" in his mind, and asked: "Upper Spirit Realm?"
Su Qianqian nodded, "Peak!"
Xu Xiaoshou staggered.
Su Qianqian thought for a while and added: "He was at the peak of the Upper Spirit Realm a year ago. He has been suppressing his realm for the competition in Dongtianwang City half a year later."
Xu Xiaoshou's legs softened and he quickly held the white jade railing to avoid falling to the ground.
Damn!
What's going on?
In other words, if the guy who wanted to kill me wanted to, he might have reached the Grandmaster realm now?
I'm not worth it!
Xu Xiaoshou was about to cry. Wouldn't he feel cheap if such a big man attacked him?
Let alone the cultivation level, there is still an inner and outer courtyard between us!
"The people who killed you are called Feng Kong and Shao Yi, but I asked and it seems that they were not sent by Zhang Xinxiong."
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes flashed with hope, right?
That's great!
However, Su Qianqian said something shocking, "This time it should be someone sent by He Yuxing. He should listen to Lan Xinzi, and Lan Xinzi should listen to Zhang Xinxiong..."
"Well, if you count it this way, it seems that Zhang Xinxiong also took action..."
Xu Xiaoshou was overwhelmed, "Who are these two people?"
Su Qianqian: "They are all 33 people from the inner courtyard."
Bang!
Xu Xiaoshou could no longer hold the railing and fell to the ground.
Su Qianqian panicked.
"Brother Xiaoshou, what's wrong with you?"
"Did you get heatstroke?"
