It was dusk, and people at the foot of the mountain had already lit torches to welcome Shi Qingquan and the other two who were running towards them.
What surprised Xiao Wenhou and almost everyone was that Shi Qingquan turned a blind eye to Ji Yaohua's stunning beauty, and only noticed that she was the only woman in the group, and was undoubtedly the person he was looking for, so he rushed straight to Ji Yaohua, looking her up and down, unable to hide the disgust in his tone: "What is your intention, you inexplicable woman, to deceive others like this?"
Ji Yaohua smiled: "Mr. Shi seems to be angry not because someone framed you, but because someone deceived the young marquis. I didn't expect that Mr. Shi and the young marquis had only met for the first time today, but he had already broken the habit of not caring about everything and cared about the young marquis like this."
In her words, she seemed to have tacitly agreed with Shi Qingquan's guess.
Xiao Wenhou was shocked.
Ma Yunlong and others also changed color on their faces.
Shi Qingquan asked: "So you planned all these things to frame me?"
He pointed to Wuer and others who were standing aside, who were unable to come because of the young Marquis Wen, but were eager to see all the situations: "Even those Jin people were brought to me by you to cause trouble?"
Ji Yaohua smiled but said nothing.
Ma Yunlong couldn't help but say: "The thief who broke into the forbidden area to steal the Taihu stone was very good at using the stone as a hidden weapon. The thief that the young marquis encountered also had the same method. Did you arrange those two people?"
He didn't quite believe that in addition to Shi Qingquan, there was another person in the world who could use an ordinary stone so skillfully.
Ji Yaohua's eyes moved, and she replied with a smile: "Those two people are actually the same person. As long as you find a hidden weapon expert who is good at using locust stones and boomerangs, and let me and Yaoguang teach you a thing or two, it should be more than enough to pretend to be Mr. Shi in front of people who have never fought with Mr. Shi."
Shi Qingquan laughed in anger: "Good, good, good trick! There are not many people in the world who have such tricks and such thoughts to frame me. Which peak are you from among the twelve peaks of Wushan?"
Ji Yaohua smiled: "I am the Goddess Peak. My master Ji Shuangshuang."
Shi Qingquan's question and Ji Yaohua's answer were really shocking.
Ma Yunlong murmured: "It turns out that the rumors that Wushan disciples are enemies with each other are true!"
The Wushan disciples of all generations are talented and gifted people. However, they can defeat the world, but they cannot defeat their own vanity and narrow-minded desire to compete. The opponents that Wushan disciples disliked the most and were most resentful of were those fellow disciples who could compete with them.
Therefore, Wushan Sect was in frequent turmoil, and there were generations of disciples with outstanding talents, but they could never really get out of that corner of Wushan.
Shi Qingquan looked up at the sky, recalling the vague image of the woman in his memory. After a long time, he shook his head to himself, frowned and stared at Ji Yaohua and said: "Damn it, Ji Shuangshuang, that crazy wild girl, actually taught you a nine-tailed fox-like disciple! Shengquan Peak and Shennv Peak have been at odds for many years, regardless of any grudges. What kind of madness are you, woman, that you actually went to such great lengths to find me?"
Ji Yaohua's smile deepened: "I just don't like you. Why have others fought to the death for so many years, but only you are free and easy? I just can't accept it!"
Shi Qingquan's face turned red and purple. He hasn't been so angry for many years. The woman in front of him, smiling sweetly, really had the ability to make people angry to death. He felt his chest swell and feel uncomfortable, and suddenly he roared and chopped the culprit in front of him with a stick.
Ji Yaohua flicked her long sleeves, wrapped the long stick, and also eliminated the murderous sound brought by the stick.
The people around retreated, and in an instant, only Shi Qingquan, Ji Yaohua and Xiao Wenhou were left beside the stone formation.
Shi Qingquan looked back at Xiao Wenhou with a strange expression. Even the most dull and indifferent person could guess what he felt at this moment. Shi Qingquan's heart was warm, and he patted his shoulder vigorously, whispering: "Hold on, little marquis, grit your teeth and get through this, and you can choose all the good women in the world! Just watch how I teach this wild demon fox a lesson and help you vent your anger!"
The guards of the marquis' mansion rushed over and surrounded Xiao Wenhou and retreated far away from the stone formation.
Ma Yunlong suddenly realized that he had missed one thing, that is, Ji Yaoguang.
Turning back, he saw that Ji Yaoguang had been detained by Shitou, Shi Qingquan's disciple. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he held this kid in his hand, he was not afraid that Ji Yaohua would not bow her head and admit defeat and hand over the Taihu stone obediently.
As for what grudges she had with Shi Qingquan...
It seems that even Xiao Wenhou can't control this, right?
An ordinary wrought iron long stick, in Shi Qingquan's hand, was like a thundering horse, and it seemed to be better than the Qitian stick in Shitou's hand, not to mention that she was in the stone formation he set up.
Ji Yaohua's figure spun among the rocks and stick shadows, as light and agile as a flying swallow.
Birds that are used to appearing in the Wu Gorge with high winds and rough waves, frequent rainstorms, lightning and thunder must be no more than this.
However, the rocks became more and more dense, and the space left for Ji Yaohua to turn around was very narrow.
Ji Yaoguang suddenly pursed his lips and whistled sharply.
Xiao Wenhou was the first to wake up and rushed over on horseback, followed closely by Ma Yunlong.
For some reason, the boy who looked powerless always made them feel that they could not ignore him.
However, they were still a step late.
Ji Yaoguang's sharp whistle made Shitou, who was guarding him, tremble all over. After a slight hesitation, he left Ji Yaoguang, held the Qitian stick upside down, and strode towards the stone formation.
What surprised almost everyone was that after Shitou ran into the stone formation, he swung the Qitian stick and actually blocked Shi Qingquan's stick that was sweeping towards Ji Yaohua.
Xiao Wenhou grabbed Ji Yaoguang's left shoulder and said, "What did you do to make the master and apprentice kill each other?"
Ji Yaoguang gasped in pain. Xiao Wenhou realized that he couldn't speak, and his men relaxed a little.
Ji Yaoguang panted for a while before saying, "I just tried the hypnosis I just learned on him." He glanced at the young Marquis Wen and continued jokingly, "If the young Marquis hadn't beaten that fool out of his strength outside Tongbai Villa that day, leaving him distracted and weak all night, how could I have had this opportunity to take advantage of the situation? I should thank the young Marquis."
Because of Shitou's joining, Ji Yaohua has turned the tide.
Shi Qingquan's fury finally made him hit Shitou's left calf mercilessly. However, Shitou's lower body skills were very solid. After a slight shake, he stabilized his body and used his backhand stick to pick up a large stone that Shi Qingquan hit Ji Yaohua with.
Little Wenhou looked at this scene anxiously, turned around and stared at Ji Yaoguang and said: "What do you want to do to make Shitou regain his sanity?"
Ji Yaoguang raised his eyebrows: "As a younger brother, how can I stand by and watch my sister's life in danger?"
Little Wenhou said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go stop Shi Qingquan!"
Ji Yaoguang turned his eyes to Ma Yunlong.
Ma Yunlong immediately said: "Everything is up to the young marquis!"
Ji Yaoguang smiled and said: "In fact, I am not afraid of you doing anything to me, because the hypnotic suggestion I gave is not just that whistle, and I am not the only one who knows it."
As he said, he whistled again, and Shitou stopped his hand in a daze, hesitated, and strode back.
Little Wenhou gritted his teeth, slapped his horse, and when he approached the stone formation, he jumped up, and the two halberds merged into a long halberd, swooping down on Shi Qingquan with a thousand-pound force.
Shi Qingquan swung a stick at Ji Yaohua, but was crushed by the long halberd.
He looked at Xiao Wenhou in astonishment.
When Xiao Wenhou opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly felt a numbness in his back.
When he tried his best to stop Shi Qingquan, Ji Yaohua attacked him from behind. She pressed her left palm on the acupoints on his back, and her right hand was slightly open, like a breeze blowing, but she pressed seven major acupoints on his back in an instant, and then pulled out the carved jade knife from his waist and pointed it at his waist.
No one expected that Ji Yaohua would dare to threaten Xiao Wenhou in public. For a moment, they were stunned and there was silence all around.
Xiao Wenhou felt an extremely bitter taste overflowing, and his heart was cold.
Even when he found out that Ji Yaohua had deceived him, he still had a vague hope in his heart, thinking that Ji Yaohua might have other reasons for doing so.
But now he was completely disappointed.
When Shi Qingquan saw that he was controlled, he instinctively rushed forward, then woke up and said with gritted teeth: "What do you want?"
Ji Yaohua stared at him and said slowly: "Mr. Shi, you and Xiao Wenhou have known each other for less than two hours. I wonder if these two hours of acquaintance are enough for you to use the martial arts skills of Shengquan Peak to exchange for Xiao Wenhou?"
Shi Qingquan's face changed drastically: "I don't believe you dare to harm Xiao Wenhou!"
Ji Yaohua smiled slightly: "Of course I don't want to hurt him unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, I don't want to be an enemy of the world. But if I want to do something, maybe No one will find out, right? Isn't your beloved disciple a role model? Well, let me think about it, what should I do? For example, let him never want to touch that carved jade knife again, and even forget you. "
Shi Qingquan stared at her, and said after a while: "You want martial arts skills, do you want to dominate the Wushan Sect or even the world of martial arts?"
Ji Yaohua smiled lightly: "If I really have this idea, how could I be so stupid as to turn Xiao Wenhou into an enemy? I have my reasons for wanting something, and how can you people understand it? I just ask you, will you give it to me?"
Shi Qingquan hesitated and couldn't make a decision.
Ji Yaohua raised her hand to the sky, her expression solemn, and said loudly: "I swear by the spirits of the disciples of the Goddess Peak in the sky that I will never pass on the Shengquan Peak skills to anyone other than the disciples of Shengquan Peak!"
Shi Qingquan stared into her eyes.
How many years has it been since he looked at a woman so carefully?
Ji Yaohua's eyes were as clear as the blue sky. Shi Qingquan hesitated for a moment, then said generously: "Since you promised not to tell anyone, why not give it to you!"
Ji Yaohua's expression suddenly became full of smiles, her eyes moved, and she said in a gentle voice: "Since you have given me this, Mr. Shi will not mind lending the stone to me for three years? After three years, I will return it to you unharmed."
Shi Qingquan was stunned. Isn't Ji Yaohua too much?
Ji Yaohua quietly waited for his answer.
Shi Qingquan stared at her for a long time, and finally said: "I hope I am not wrong about you. People like you don't care about being hated by the world, but you will never tolerate being looked down upon by the world because of breaking the contract. I agree to all your requests! Can you let him go now?"
Ji Yaohua smiled, flicked her right hand, untied the acupuncture points on the back of Xiao Wenhou, and inserted the jade carving knife back into his waist, and retreated more than ten feet away before Xiao Wenhou raised his hand to move.
Xiao Wenhou turned around and looked at her.
Ji Yaohua sighed softly and said, "Young Marquis, I know that even if you forgive me, your friends will not give up. I will be waiting for you all in Wushan. But there is one thing I would like to ask for your understanding. Please do not embarrass Yaoguang. Yaoguang has been well-read since he was young. With his intelligence, he would have a bright future no matter which path he took. But I have dragged him down and he cannot move. I feel really guilty about him. So, if anything happens to Yaoguang, I don't know what I will do next."
Young Wenhou's heart was slightly moved.
In his opinion, Ji Yaoguang, who was well-read and extremely intelligent, was the one who designed all these conspiracies.
Shi Qingquan obviously didn't think so. He snorted coldly and said, "Having a sister like you, that brat is already unlucky enough. He doesn't need anyone to deal with him. He will be finished sooner or later."
Ji Yaohua sighed softly, "Mr. Shi, someone once told me that your heart is cold and hard like a piece of stone. Apart from stone, you can't take anything seriously. So you named your only disciple "Shitou" to remind yourself not to forget that there is such a disciple to take care of. If that person knew that Xiao Wenhou broke your stone in just two hours, I wonder what she would think in her heart?"
Shi Qingquan looked at her graceful figure in astonishment as she flew away. It took a long time before he was stunned. "The person she is talking about, isn't it that crazy girl Ji Shuangshuang? I just didn't bother to pay attention to that unreasonable girl and gave her many rejections. That girl actually holds a grudge to this extent that she sent her disciples to frame me after she died?"
The young Marquis Wen immediately understood the reason. Although he was full of thoughts, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The ancients said that playing the lute to a cow, but this is the first time I've heard of playing the lute to a stone. No wonder Ji Shuangshuang holds a grudge."
Shi Qingquan saw that the young Marquis Wen looked much more cheerful, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Women are all inexplicable things, there's no need to pay attention to them. I'm sure the young Marquis feels the same way now, right?"
