Chapter 556 Book Of Unspeediness

Nineteen still stayed in the Yan Clan. After all, she was young, and her description of her master had always stayed at eighteen. She could not be said to be old, but she was a very old old man. It had to be said that with such a description, wanting to find nineteen masters in Heng Imperial City, which had a population of nearly a million people, was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, Xu Han still troubled Yan Zhan and Chu Chou to put up notices everywhere in the city to try their luck.

However, it was obvious that for the recent Xu Han, luck had never been on his side. Therefore, the notice posted was like mud into the sea, silent.

Nineteen stayed as he wished.

As usual, she pestered everyone to learn cultivation techniques every day, but everyone couldn't avoid her. Only Su Mu'an felt guilty and occasionally taught her one and a half moves.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Xu Han could only let this matter go. After all, he still had more troubles. Tomorrow was the three-day deadline issued by Luo Mo.

At this moment, he was sitting in the main room of the Yan Clan, leisurely drinking Chu Chouli's tea from somewhere.

"Young Master Xu is very leisurely and elegant." Nangong Jing, who had been watching Xu Han drink tea for half an hour in the main room, finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

"Lord Nangong, would you like some? This tea is not bad. It is slightly dry when you drink it first, but it is full of sweetness when you drink it again. It is very unique." Old God Xu Han was present, as if he hadn't been troubled by any imminent troubles at all.

Hearing this, Nangong Jing glanced coldly at the tea cup in Xu Han's hand. Then, he asked, "Young Master Xu doesn't drink tea often?"

Xu Han did not mind. He picked up the teacup beside him and drank a mouthful. He asked casually with an expression of enjoyment, "Lord Nangong, why did you say that? Do you think a rough guy like Xu should only know how to wield a saber and a gun?"

"That's not true." Nangong Jing shook his head. "I was just thinking that if Young Master Xu was good at this, he probably wouldn't drink this tea."

"What does this mean?" Xu Han's expression changed. Before coming out, he had specifically asked Chu Chouli which of the tea leaves he "brought along" was the most precious. The other party did not hesitate to give Xu Han this answer. Only then did Xu Han brew this tea to fill the door. He heard about Nangong Jing

Xu Han subconsciously thought that Chu Chouli had made a mistake. After all, this was not the first time that Chu Chouli had acted unreliably.

However, there were some who said that they would not lose. Xu Han still bravely said at that time, "Cough cough, actually, this tea, good or bad, expensive or inexpensive, is secondary, suitable for oneself is the most important."

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Nangong Jing's eyes suddenly lit up with a crafty light. She looked at Xu Han with great interest, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile.

Xu Han probably also smelled something from the other party's strange expression, but as for this matter, Xu Han could only forcefully nod his head and say, "Naturally."

Hearing this, Nangong Jingxiaoying stood up. She walked over to Xu Han. Under Xu Han's surprised gaze, she hooked up and leaned forward.

As a result, that extremely beautiful face was less than half an inch away from Xu Han. Xu Han could even clearly see every detail on her face, but even so, it was difficult for Xu Han to pick out any flaws on that face. He had to admit that it was indeed a perfect face.

Xu Han was stunned. He wasn't nervous or scared, but he was uncomfortable being so close to the other party all of a sudden.

"Lord Nangong, someone Xu is not as casual as you think" Xu Han said seriously.

Hearing this, Nangong Jing's face turned slightly red, but she quickly recovered. At that time, she rolled her eyes at Xu Han and missed him. She picked up the tea cup beside Xu Han and placed it at the tip of her nose to sniff. Then she stood up and smiled, "The smell is fishy, the taste is astringent, the taste is sweet, the lips and teeth are lively, and the shape is like a peach blossom and the color is like a spring bamboo. If Nangong Jing remembered correctly, this tea should be a famous tea called Che Fu Ning …"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed slightly. He did not want things to change so quickly. He realized that Xu Han had misunderstood Chu Qiuli and felt a little guilty. However, this kind of guilt had just arisen in his heart, and Nangong Jing's voice came back to him.

Nangong Jing paused for a moment before turning to Xu Han, who was drinking tea. "This tea is not only precious because of its scarcity, but also because …" She suddenly smiled and said, "It has the effect of calming the qi and stabilizing the fetus. It is something that even wives and concubines of high-ranking officials are willing to pay a high price for …"

"Pu!" Tea sprayed out of Xu Han's mouth, and the slightest bit of guilt towards Chu Chouli that had just arisen from the bottom of his heart vanished at that moment.

Xu Han, who had lost his composure, noticed the teasing in Nangong Jing's eyes. He hurriedly wiped off the tea stains on his mouth and pretended to sit calmly. He said, "Yes, just try it, try it."

Nangong Jing rolled his eyes at the face-hungry Xu again. Surprisingly, he didn't dwell on this topic anymore. This was the first time that Nangong Jing, who had always liked to find trouble with Xu Han, had broken through the heavens.

She only glanced at Xu Han inexplicably, then sighed and said, "Alright, you don't have to fight with me anymore."

Xu Han was stunned again. This time, it wasn't because he pretended to be crazy and foolish, but because he didn't react for a while.

Nangong Jing was confused, thinking that Xu Han was still trying to make a fool of her. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but her face was still as calm as ever.

"Tomorrow is Luo Mo's three-day deadline. Have you found the murderer?" She looked at Xu Han and asked.

Hearing this, Xu Han shook his head with a bitter smile. At that time, he looked at Shangle Nangong Jing and said, "Does Lord Nangong really think Luo Mo cares who the real murderer is?"

Nangong Jing shook his head and said, "I understand what you mean. However, the only immortal in the Sword Handling Pavilion, Xiao Ran, is still unconscious. I'm afraid that this calamity will be difficult to endure." Nangong Jing paused for a moment. A smile suddenly bloomed on her face as she said, "So hurry up and pack up your things and prepare to escape."

Xu Han never thought that he would hear such words from Nangong Jing. His expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but ask, "If I leave, how will the Sword Handling Pavilion explain to Luo Mo?"

"You also said that Luo Mo doesn't care who killed his brother at all. What he wants is this origin. Whether you are here or not, the Sword Handling Pavilion still has to face it. Why should I let you stay and fill in another life?" Nangong Jing said softly, his expression darkening. "I don't care if you are a spy sent by the Great Zhou. If your goal is achieved, then you don't have to sacrifice your life for the Sword Handling Pavilion. What do you think, right?"

Xu Han felt that the assassin Nangong Jing's words were sincere. He looked at Nangong Jing and asked, "Could it be that at this time, Lord Nangong still thinks that Xu is someone with a bad heart?"

Hearing this, Nangong Jing was stunned. Then, she glanced fiercely at Xu Han and said, "If I really thought that way, you would be separated by now!"

"Alright, that's all. Hurry up and leave."

After Nangong Jing finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." But at that moment, Xu Han's voice suddenly sounded.

Nangong Jing's footsteps stopped at that moment. He turned to look at Xu Han doubtfully, only to see that the youth was looking at her with a smile.

"What if I want to stay?"

"Give me a reason."

"Think of it as for Lord Nangong's trust."

Hearing this, Nangong Jing was stunned. She blinked her big, flickering eyes, and her cheeks suddenly flushed red.

…

Seeing Nangong Jing, who had fled without saying anything after hearing this, Xu Han scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Young Master Xu is so capable. This Sword Handling Pavilion's seven-thread golden robe is fascinated by you." Right at this moment, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind Xu Han.

Xu Han turned around and saw that it was Ye Hongjian.

"When did you come?" Xu Han, who was slightly uncomfortable under Ye Hongjian's direct gaze, asked cautiously, afraid that he would offend her somewhere.

"What do you think? I think you're really perverted. You don't even want to die for the sake of beauty." Ye Hongjian said angrily.

No matter how slow Xu Han was, he could tell that Ye Hongjian had apparently heard some misunderstanding in the last conversation between him and Nangong Jing. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

How could Xu Han be such a selfless person?

He only knew that although he would have to face Luo Mo and even Xie Min Yu, he would also have to face the pursuit of the Headmaster and more enemies who hadn't appeared before leaving the Royal City. Compared to the two, there wasn't much difference between them for Xu Han, but staying in Horizontal Imperial City, the Sword Handling Pavilion was after all an organization supported by the Great Xia Imperial Court, so there might be a chance for them to make a turn for the better. Making such a choice was only an inevitable choice for Xu Han to choose between the two evils.

He thought that he was going to explain it to Ye Hongjian.

"Who! Don't run!" However, at this moment, Su Mu'an's explosive shout suddenly came from within the manor.

"It's Ah Sheng!" With Xu Han's cultivation, he naturally quickly understood the direction of the voice. He was shocked and didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly ran towards that direction. Seeing this, Ye Hongjian naturally couldn't continue to entangle herself with Xu Han. She could only temporarily shelve the situation. At this moment, she followed Xu Han and quickly walked towards the direction of the voice.

…

When they arrived in front of Liu Sheng's room, Su Mu'an had already fallen to the ground. Nineteen people on the side supported Su Mu'an with an anxious expression.

When she saw Xu Han and Ye Hongjian, she hurriedly said, "Just now, a figure rushed into that room and ran out. He wanted to stop him, but he knocked him down."

Xiao Nineteen's descriptive ability was as bad as ever, but Xu Han could roughly tell the main story. He came to Su Mu'an and stretched out his hand to investigate the boy's condition.

On the other hand, Su Mu'an repeatedly apologized, saying that he hadn't stopped that person.

Xu Han quickly confirmed that Su Mu'an was fine. He comforted the boy and quickly walked into Liu Sheng's room.

The room was still the same as before, there was no trace of anyone coming, and Liu Sheng was still lying quietly on the bed as usual.

Xu Han frowned. He naturally wouldn't suspect that Su Mu'an would lie to him. He exchanged a glance with Ye Hongjian at the side and immediately went to Liu Sheng to check his situation. However, just as he took this step, the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of an object placed on the wooden table beside him.

He stopped and looked at the thing.

It's a book.

To be exact, it was a book whose pages were yellowed because it was too old.

When Xu Han saw the handwriting on the book, his pupils instantly dilated…
