MTL - The Melon-eating Swordsman In the Ancient Dragon World

Chapter 383: Squeezing Ximen Chuixue dry

Yanbei, Wanmei Villa.

When the four of them came to Wanmei Villa together, Sun Xiuqing was the one who received them.

 “Where is Ximen Chuixue?” Ma Xiuzhen asked.

 “He is practicing his sword in the backyard.” Sun Xiuqing said helplessly.

Shi Xiuxue curled her lips, "He is still so arrogant."

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "Without this arrogance, he would not be Ximen Chuixue."

“It seems that the battle at the top of the Forbidden City had a great impact on him.” Su Shaoying said.

Sun Xiuqing nodded, "After returning from the capital, he always stays in the backyard."

Su Shaoying asked, "Are people colder than before?"

Sun Xiuqing was stunned when she heard this. It was only three to five days before the battle in the capital, and she didn't feel much yet. But since Su Shaoying asked, she thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

In the original work, aside from "The Sword God Smiles" which happened many years later, his appearances in "Silver Hook Gambling House" and "Ghost Villa" are like a different person compared to those in "Before and After the Decisive Battle" .

 But once Ximen Chuixue draws his sword, he will rush to kill people.

“What kind of sword is Ye Gucheng’s sword?” Su Shaoying asked.

"Why is Ye Gucheng so confused?" Sun Xiuqing couldn't help but ask.

 Because Aunt Gongsun said afterwards that Ye Gucheng had hesitated when drawing a sword against the emperor, many people thought that Ye Gucheng was bewitched by King Pingnan's words and therefore participated in this matter.

"But the artistic conception of Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship is originally a noble and glorious sword of heaven and man." Su Shaoying said lightly, "And who is the noblest and most glorious person in the world?"

 Everyone agreed.

 He killed Ku Zhu with a sword outside Silver Hook Casino and told Lu Xiaofeng that he had paid off his debt.

Su Shaoying nodded, "The flying fairy from the sky is gorgeous, grand, brilliant, and dazzling. It is like a sword of heaven and man. I have seen it five times. Each time it is different, and each time it is stronger."

 “A flying fairy from the sky?” Ma Xiuzhen said.

Su Shaoying said, "If he is bewitched, he will have hesitation in his heart and his swordsmanship will be weak."

The whole person became much colder and indifferent, and all human emotions seemed to have disappeared. After that, Sun Xiuqing did not appear again.

"Ye Gucheng was stunned. He is a human being, not a god, and he can also get into trouble." Su Shaoying said.

To Lu Xiaofeng, to Tang Tianyi, to Su Shaoying, to Tang Tianrong, to Ximen Chuixue.

Sun Xiuqing smiled and said, "Why is he so crazy?"

“Ye Gucheng, as the Lord of Baiyun City, is also a person with a strong desire for power, so he hit it off with King Pingnan and plotted to usurp the throne. Otherwise, with his arrogance and will, he would not have been bewitched by King Pingnan.”

At the Wudang Mountain Sword Jie Pond, he even wanted to force Lu Xiaofeng to take over the sword.

"It seems that he rarely speaks these days. I always deliver the food to the backyard." Sun Xiuqing said, "Maybe it was the battle with Ye Gucheng that made him understand more?"

Just like Shangguan Jinhong always wanted to see Li Xunhuan's flying sword, Ximen Chuixue also always wanted to know if Lu Xiaofeng could catch his sword.

 “It’s a good thing to have some understanding. I’m afraid he’ll get confused.” Su Shaoying nodded.

"It's the emperor!" Hua Manlou couldn't help but take a deep breath. "He participated in the rebellion and even wanted to kill the emperor with his own hands. In fact, it was just to improve his swordsmanship?"

Everyone was speechless. It felt incredible.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing." Su Shaoying said, "I have faced the flying immortal in Ye Gucheng directly, and I can feel the oppressive artistic conception in his swordsmanship. It is the feeling of descending from the sky and oppressing mortals with heavenly beings." "So, if he can kill the emperor, his state of mind will be perfect." Hua Manlou looked horrified, "No matter who he faces, he can use his sword in a heavenly manner."

Ma Xiuzhen also understood, "If he faces Ximen Chuixue after killing the emperor, Ximen Chuixue will never be his opponent."

 This is a very obvious thing.

“He has to kill the emperor in order to practice his sword. Do you think he is crazy?” Su Shaoying asked.

Everyone nodded, which was obviously a sign of confusion.

"What I can see, of course Ximen Chuixue can also see it." Su Shaoying said, "And anyone who has seen Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue will say that they are very similar."

Su Shaoying spread her hands, "Do you think Ximen Chuixue will be crazy?"

Hua Manlou smiled bitterly and said, "Ximen Chuixue's sincerity towards the sword is even greater than that of Ye Gucheng."

Ma Xiuzhen, Sun Xiuqing, and Shi Xiuxue were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that Ye Gucheng and Pingnan Wang conspired to usurp the throne. There was such an inside story.

 “I emphasize again that this is all my guess.” Su Shaoying said.

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "But your guess is very reasonable, otherwise there is no way to explain how a noble and proud man like Ye Gucheng could do such a thing. A despicable person cannot use his kind of sword at all." Law."

Huamanlou has also met Ye Gucheng. Jin Jiuling is sleek and sophisticated, but Ye Gucheng's noble temperament cannot be faked, at least it cannot be hidden from Huamanlou's keen sense.

“Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are very similar. Do you think Ximen Chuixue will refer to Ye Gucheng’s swordsmanship?” Huamanlou asked.

Shi Xiuxue then asked, "He also wants to kill the emperor?"

Everyone was speechless. Hua Manlou said helplessly, "Although they have similar personalities, their swordsmanship is different."

Ye Gucheng is noble and proud, like an immortal descending to earth, while Ximen Chuixue is cold and aloof, like a lonely plum in the world.

“Ximen Chuixue’s swordsmanship is simple, quick, extreme, and ruthless.” Hua Manlou said, “He regards killing as an art and a sacred thing.”

Shi Xiuxue didn’t understand, because she was still young and lively, and her life was full of youthful vitality.

But Ma Xiuzhen understands, and so does Sun Xiuqing, who has lived with Ximen Chuixue for a while, not to mention that Su Shaoying had mentioned it before when he was in the capital.

"What should we do?" Sun Xiuqing couldn't help but ask. Ximen Chuixue's recent changes also made her worried.

Su Shaoying also fell silent.

 There seemed to be many ways, but he really didn’t know if they would work.

Ximen Chuixue is just like what he said when he appeared. He has no worries, is easily satisfied, and never asks for help. Although he is a swordsman, he has no desire to compete with others or to be better than others. All he pursues is his own. Kendo, he is a person who lives in his own world.

That is to say, Ye Gucheng is also a peerless swordsman and took the initiative to ask him to fight. This is the story of the Forbidden City. Otherwise, he would never take the initiative to ask Ye Gucheng.

  Ximen Chuixue has never been influenced by others, he is simply a person without any weaknesses.

Ximen Chuixue's only weakness may be that although his sword is ruthless, he is actually still sentimental in his heart.

"So, it depends on you whether Ximen Chuixue will be crazy or not." Su Shaoying looked at Sun Xiuqing.

 “Look at me?” Sun Xiuqing was puzzled.

Su Shaoying nodded seriously, "Squeeze him dry!"
