Chapter 23 Your Father Betrayed Me Back Then
Two figures landed; it was Qi Yuxuan and Yin Lihen.
With a long sword strapped to his back, Qi Yuxuan exuded an aura of undeniable authority.
Yin Lihen still dressed as a carefree playboy, but he was exceptionally handsome.
Ever since Qiu Ziyue made a bet during the sword and zither duel, Qi Yuxuan and Yin Lihen discussed the matter, and Yin Lihen suggested to Qi Yuxuan that they send someone to observe Qiu Ziyue's movements.
They were completely baffled by Qiu Ziyue, wondering why she would make such a bet. They didn't believe it was simply because Qiu Ziyue had taken a liking to Qi Yuxuan.
Qi Yuxuan's two bodyguards kept a close eye on Qiu Ziyue. When Qiu Ziyue fought with the five major sects, the two bodyguards immediately returned to report to Qi Yuxuan.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan locked eyes, both with complex emotions in their gazes.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue's feelings of alienation deepened suddenly because of Huo Lengxiong's accusations against Qi Yuxuan.
"Young Master Qi, why are you doing this? Why are you joining forces with various gangs to hunt us down?"
Qiu Ziyue's voice trembled slightly. She longed to find the answer in those familiar eyes, but all she saw was the determination in Qi Yuxuan's eyes.
“Miss Qiu, you must believe me, I have never done such a thing.”
Qi Yuxuan's voice was firm yet sorrowful; he knew that under such circumstances, any explanation would seem pale and powerless.
Yin Lihen revealed his phoenix eyes and said firmly, "Today I heard Miss Qiu play a piece, which was truly heavenly music. I admire it. However, Brother Qi and I really do not have the time to join them in capturing you."
Yin Lihen paused for a moment and said to the various gangs, "You four gangs attacked Miss Qiu before the music competition was over, which is a violation of the rules. Either turn back immediately today, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
These words made Qiu Ziyue look at him with new eyes. In her initial impression, Yin Lihen had the worst impression of her, and she felt that he was like a playboy.
But what he just said warmed her heart.
At this moment, the members of the five major gangs showed no intention of retreating.
The leader, Feng Yunniang, said, "As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once. If we miss this chance today, it will be even harder to kill the witch in the future. It's not that we don't want to give Young Master Qi and Young Master Yin face, but we really don't want to miss this opportunity."
"Go!" With that command, the five gangs launched an even fiercer attack.
However, Qiu Ziyue and her three senior brothers, Qi Yuxuan and Yin Lihenren fought a desperate battle. Their tacit understanding and trust were ignited in the face of life and death, turning into an unstoppable force to resist the multiple attacks.
Yin Lihen's weapon was the folding fan in his hand. The iron folding fan usually looked elegant and quiet, but on the battlefield, it made a series of "whooshing" wind sounds, full of murderous intent and ferocity.
During the fight, Yin Lihen's deep red robes appeared exceptionally dashing in the moonlight, captivating countless young women in Yangzhou. It seems his reputation as a handsome man is well-deserved.
During the fierce battle, Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue fought side by side several times.
During the fight, Qiu Ziyue knew that they had already exhausted a lot of their strength and energy from the battle at the inn. If they continued like this, it would be a bad idea. Rather than that, it would be better to use the "Tao Family Mystic Secret Technique" to solve the problem.
The moonlight, like a ribbon, bathed the tranquil countryside.
In the silvery light, Qiu Ziyue used her lightness skill to leap onto a lone, high rock, tightly gripping the crystal-clear jade flute in her hand.
Her figure appeared cold and lonely in the night, only her eyes, like deep pools, reflected determination and fearlessness.
Tonight, she will no longer run away, because she knows that Tao Ling'er's parents died because of the "Liu Family Mystic Secrets".
The most direct reason was indeed the greed of the people from the five major sects and five major gangs, and some of the people who murdered Tao Ling'er's parents back then were still at the scene.
If it weren't for the cruelty of these people, Tao Ling'er would still be living a happy life at home, and she wouldn't have been unable to bear the pain of her parents' death at such a young age, and would not have been so grief-stricken that she attempted suicide.
Seeing their hypocritical appearance, Qiu Ziyue felt resentful. She wanted to confront the five major gangs head-on and avenge Tao Ling'er's blood feud.
Qiu Ziyue slowly raised the jade flute to her lips, took a deep breath, and silently recited an ancient and mysterious melody.
As the first note drifted out, the air seemed to freeze, the surrounding wind stopped abruptly, and everyone held their breath in anticipation.
Her fingers danced nimbly between the holes of the flute, each note imbued with a summoning power, piercing the night sky and reaching into the distance.
Before long, on the distant horizon, one or two dots gradually converged into a patch of green light, appearing and disappearing.
Those were the eyes of the snow-white wolf pack, gleaming with a cold light in the moonlight.
They approached silently, as if drawn by a dream woven from music. Each wolf was robust, with fur as pure as fresh snow. They surrounded Qiu Ziyue, forming an inviolable defensive line.
Just as the music reached its climax, Qiu Ziyue's gaze suddenly sharpened.
The melody of the jade flute also became stirring and full of fighting spirit.
As the last note faded, the wolf pack seemed to receive a final command, letting out deafening roars and sweeping towards the five gangs like a tidal wave.
The men from the five major gangs were stunned by this sudden sight; they had never seen anything so strange.
A pack of wild beasts, seemingly guided by the gods, charged forward with undeniable momentum.
Swords clashed and weapons flew; even with numerous experts from the five major gangs, they could not withstand the rage emanating from nature.
Qiu Ziyue stood atop a high cliff, her jade flute held horizontally across her chest. Her gaze followed the charge of the wolves, and every breath she took seemed to be in sync with their movements.
The wolf pack was highly adaptable under her command.
Some are known for their speed, circling around to the enemy's rear to launch a surprise attack;
Some are strong and powerful, charging head-on and tearing apart the enemy's formation.
The battle continued into the night.
As the first rays of dawn pierced the darkness, the snow-white wolf pack slowly retreated, returning to their territory.
Finally, after rounds of fierce fighting, the five gangs' experts gradually became overwhelmed, and the remnants fled in disarray. Qiu Ziyue stared in the direction where the wolf pack had disappeared.
Feng Yunniang said with a fierce look in her eyes, "As expected, the Tao Family Mystic Secret Technique is an evil martial art with such amazing power."
Seeing that Feng Yunniang was seriously injured and seemed unable to escape quickly, Qiu Ziyue noticed that Feng Yunniang was seriously injured.
Qiu Ziyue stepped forward and stretched out her palm, intending to kill Feng Yunniang with one blow.
Fengyunniang said, "Don't you want to know why I hate your Tao family so much?"
"I don't know, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense," Qiu Ziyue said.
"It's because your father betrayed me back then," Fengyunniang said with all her might.
"What? You crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting?" Qiu Ziyue said.
Fengyunniang said, "Believe it or not."
"Then tell me about it," Qiu Ziyue thought, remembering that she had transmigrated here, and since it was Tao Ling'er's family matter, she wanted to hear what was going on before making a decision.
So what exactly is the buried story between Feng Yunniang and Tao Asheng?
