Chongzhou Prefecture, Jingsheng City.

To Qin Keqing and Xu Han, this was a place of special significance.

It was here that Xu Han, who was still an Asura of the Dark Asura Palace, was ordered to assassinate Qin Keqing. The twists and turns in their fates at that time were destined to be entangled.

The autumn morning sunlight dispelled the chill of the night, and the patrolling soldiers in Jing Sheng City kept coming and going.

The Great Zhou Empire, which had ruled the Central Plains for more than 200 years, had collapsed at an unbelievable speed since the change of kingship in Great Zhou a few days ago and Emperor Chu Fang Yu had ascended to the throne in Chang'an City.

Last night, the people were still sleeping with their status as citizens of the Great Zhou Empire, but when they woke up the next day, the Holy Son and Holy Marquis poured into the cities and hung the Chu Xuan flag over the city walls. This was no exception for Jing Sheng City.

In the small courtyard of the inn called Visitor Huan, Little Nineteen waved a wooden saber that he had found from somewhere.

Xuan'er squatted on the withered branches of the tree leaves. Her amber eyes followed Xiao Nineteen's swing of her saber, seemingly curious.

Zhou Yuan walked out of the room with a yawning and sleepy eyes. He wore clothes that could be considered to have been carefully taken care of, but the most eye-catching thing was the long white hair that had been torn off by the giant ape. It seemed as if he was trying to cover up this embarrassment. He intentionally combed the half of his hair to the other side, trying to cover the bare side. However, the more this happened, the more he hid his ears and stole the bell. Not only did he not cover up his embarrassment, he instead appeared to be extremely funny.

However, Zhou Yuan clearly did not have such a consciousness. He walked over to Xiao Nineteen and looked at Xiao Nineteen, who was sweating profusely from brandishing his saber, and said, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Nineteen blinked his eyes and said, "Practice your saber."

"Saber practice? How could there be such a saber practice?" Although Zhou Yuan did not have a high cultivation, his knowledge was not ordinary. Xiao Nineteen's so-called saber training was nothing more than cutting, picking, sweeping, hacking such a shallow thing. Even Zhou Yuan felt that it was useless.

" Su Mu'an taught me. He said that you have to practice the saber technique like this." Little Nineteen said truthfully. Although she had some doubts about Su Mu'an 's words, in the end, she did not violate Su Mu'an 's teachings.

"Little brat, do you believe me?" Zhou Yuan frowned. He had probably experienced yesterday's events. In Zhou Yuan's heart, Little Nineteen was already one of his own. Naturally, he did not want to see Little Nineteen suffer a loss.

Hearing this, Nineteen's eyes were filled with confusion. She practiced this technique every day whenever she could find an opportunity. Although she was still diligent, she did not improve much as Zhou Yuan had said. The child's temperament was ultimately eager for success, so Little Nineteen simply put down the knife in her hand and moved closer to Zhou Yuan. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then why don't Master teach Nineteen the best kung fu in the world?" After nineteen years of training, you can also protect Master from being bullied! "

Zhou Yuan had also heard Nineteen say, That 19-year-old true master really seemed to know the world's best kung fu. Of course, it was difficult for Zhou Yuan to investigate it carefully. However, with his cultivation, he was unable to make up such a thing. Therefore, he could only cough lightly and say, "Cough cough, you are still young. You can't learn this kung fu. I will teach you when you are older."

Hearing this, Nineteen did not doubt him. She only reluctantly nodded her head and said, "Alright then."

After saying that, she raised her wooden saber again, looking at her posture and about to start the so-called saber practice again.

"You still want to practice?" Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

"Then what else can I practice?" Nineteen blinked her eyes again, her pink face full of confusion.

Zhou Yuan felt a little helpless. In his eyes, the Nineteen's actions did not seem to have any benefits other than wasting time. He said, "If you want to practice, you need to practice some formidable kung fu."

"For example?" Nineteen asked.

This question obviously stopped Zhou Yuan. He rubbed his strange hair and thought for a long time before suddenly saying, "The most powerful person's martial arts are naturally the most powerful."

As he spoke, he winked at the door not far away.

Nineteen was stunned, but she soon came to her senses. The little girl's pink face immediately revealed a smile.

However, this smile instantly withered. She said in distress, "But Uncle Xu is unwilling to teach me. He said this a long time ago."

At this moment, Zhou Yuan seemed to have been completely replaced by Nineteen Master. Seeing that Nineteen Master was not depressed, he patted his chest and said, "Leave it to Master! I'll help you deal with it!"

"Really?" Nineteen said in surprise.

"Of course." Zhou Yuan, who enjoyed the gaze of the Nineteen Worshippers, patted his chest in disbelief and was about to say something.

Squeak.

However, at this moment, the door of the inn suddenly let out a soft sound, and the door was pushed open from the inside.

"Meow!" Seeing this, Xuan'er, who was standing on the branch, let out a cheerful cry and jumped straight into the arms of the person who pushed the door open.

"Uncle Xu!" Seeing that person's appearance, Little Nineteen's face also showed joy.

Yesterday, when they saw Xu Han, Xu Han was still injured. Helplessly, they had to go to the nearby Jing Sheng City to find an inn to temporarily stay for a day. Seeing Xu Han's unharmed expression, Nineteen was naturally happy.

Behind Xu Han, Qin Keqing also slowly walked out. She was a disciple on the Xuanhe Peak of the Exquisite Pavilion. She was proficient in medicine and had done her best to take care of Xu Han. In fact, with Xu Han's Immortal Realm body, as long as it didn't hurt her vital parts, it was only a matter of time before she recovered from her injuries. However, there were some cares and chaos. Qin Keqing still insisted on taking care of Xu Han. Xu Han could not refuse, so he could only let her go.

Xu Han carried Xuan'er to Nineteen, nodded and said, "No problem, don't worry."

"Yes." Nineteen nodded obediently, and then she kept looking at Zhou Yuan beside her.

Zhou Yuan's heart was filled with bitterness. He had only accepted nineteen because his forehead was hot for a moment, but he knew his identity very well. Xu Han was lucky not to kill him, so how could he give him such face?

However, after experiencing yesterday's events, Zhou Yuan had also figured out a few things. He simply gritted his teeth and wanted to say something.

But this time, he was interrupted by Xu Han before he could say anything.

"You want to learn swordsmanship from me?" Xu Han asked straightforwardly. He recalled that the conversation between Nineteen and Zhou Yuan had already entered his ears.

Nineteen was stunned, but then he hurriedly nodded his head.

"You want to help her?" Xu Han turned to look at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan had an almost instinctive fear of Xu Han. When he faced Xu Han's gaze, his head involuntarily lowered. However, when he caught a glimpse of the expectant gaze Nineteen had given him, he gritted his teeth and said forcefully, "Yes."

"Alright." Xu Han nodded, "Then follow me."

Without giving Zhou Yuan any chance to refute, he turned around and walked into the room of the inn.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Nineteen, then at the ice-cold Qin Keqing. Finally, he followed Xu Han into it.

..

Zhou Yuan sat awkwardly in the door. He lowered his head and did not dare to touch Xu Han's gaze. From the first time he met this youth, he felt an inexplicable but terrifying pressure. Even now, this point had not changed in the slightest.

"I've already heard about what happened yesterday." Xu Han was the first to break the silence.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's body couldn't help but tremble. He didn't have the time to think about how Xu Han had never heard of this before. At that time, the first thing he thought about was yesterday, because of his actions, he almost put Nineteen in danger. Was Xu Han here to ask if he was guilty?

Zhou Yuan had always cherished his life, but at this moment, he felt as if he was in an ice cellar, his heart chilling.

But what Xu Han said next greatly exceeded Zhou Yuan's expectations.

Xu Han asked calmly, "You know what's happening in Chang'an, and you know what will happen in the Southern Wilderness. That's why you wanted to leave. Then why did you save Nineteen?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned. After a while, he finally regained his senses. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xu Han. However, when he looked at the youth with a meaningful gaze, his mind couldn't help but tremble. He hurriedly lowered his head. Probably because of this, he lost the courage to spin some high-sounding words. He could only truthfully say, "I don't know either."

"I just feel that if something happens to her because of me, I will feel very uncomfortable.."

"Perhaps it's because she really thinks of me as her master. I don't think there's any reason in this world for her master to not save her disciple from death."

"Mm .. even though I'm not her true master."

Nineteen mistook her for her master, but Zhou Yuan did not naively think that such a thing could be concealed from Xu Han and the others, so he frankly admitted it.

After saying that, he felt as if he had put down a worrying matter. He was much more calm in his heart, and he rarely raised his head to look Xu Han in the eye.

Of course, this kind of calmness passed in a flash after meeting Xu Han's gaze. In the end, he couldn't help but be afraid of Xu Han.

'"If you feel that it's inappropriate for me to stay.. I can leave. I promise that I won't reveal the slightest bit about your whereabouts to anyone. Eh.. And now that you've seen the world, I think you should teach her 19 kung fu skills. At the very least, let her have some self-preservation in this world."

Hearing this, Xu Han had an inexplicable smile on his face. However, this smile made Zhou Yuan even more confused about Xu Han's thoughts.

"You still remember what you promised Nineteen." Xu Hanyan said, then nodded, "Alright, I will teach her."

"Huh?" Zhou Yuan, who originally did not hold too much hope, was surprised to hear Xu Han's words, but before he could say anything, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"But in contrast, you have to promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Tell me everything you know about the Half Demon!"
