C409

The voice came out of nowhere.

Xiao Ruyue looked over to see a grey robed elder standing at the wall with his hands behind his back, staring at her with his sharp eyes.

If that person was an old man, he had a head full of silver hair. However, his face looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. An old man could not be considered an elder. At most, he could be considered an elder.

She fixed her eyes on the elder, and smiled at him. "You are?"

The elder walked out from behind the wall, holding his hands behind his back as he smiled mischievously. "Guess what kind of person my old man is."

Xiao Ruyue could not help but smile. It seemed that she was an old urchin.

"Old mister, not everyone can come to the backyard. Where did you come from, old mister?" Yin Lin protected Xiao Ruyue and looked at him vigilantly. At the same time, she did not forget to look around, but other than the elder, there were only the three of them in the garden.

She had no choice but to be wary of this person's strange appearance.

Even Lu Yi was wary, afraid that this elder would suddenly attack her.

"Yin Lin, it's okay." Xiao Ruyue said to Yin Lin with a smile, and pulled her behind him.

Anyone who could appear in this pavilion would either be an expert capable of avoiding all of Yuwen He's eyes and ears, or would be his guest.

The former was simply too powerful. It was useless for her to retaliate if she were to do anything. The latter was her guest and she was her master. She didn't need to be on guard against the latter.

"Little girl, aren't you afraid that I, this old man, will become a thief who has run amok?"

Xiao Ruyue shook her head: "Sir has a bright complexion and light footsteps, you are definitely a martial artist and one of the best of the best, but I can see that you are extremely calm and composed, and do not seem to be an uninvited person. May I know sir's name, how do I address you?"

"This old man's surname is Xie. He's here to see my disappointing disciple." The elder said grandly, "However, there is one thing you are wrong about, little girl. I came uninvited, but that brat didn't know I was coming."

Who could this disappointing disciple whom this old mister spoke of be? Could it be Tang Jingzhi?

"But old sir, you didn't jump over the wall, did you?" Xiao Ruyue laughed and bowed to him, "I am a guest, Mr Xie, please serve some tea in the front hall."

The meaning behind his words was that it was really inappropriate for a guest to be loitering in the backyard.

Old Xie glanced at Xiao Ruyue, and his gaze landed on her bulging stomach, "Girl, I have something that I want to say to you alone."

"Alright."

"Empress," Yin Lin and Lu Yi both appeared to be on guard. Lu Yi held her hand even more tightly as she said softly, "Empress, don't go. I don't know if that person is a good or bad person …"

"Don't worry, I won't come here even if I had to." Xiao Ruyue smiled at them and instructed them not to follow. Then, he walked down the corridor with the Xie fellow.

"You're that brat's precious wife, right?"

When Xiao Ruyue just arrived, that Old Master Xie said some ambiguous words, causing Xiao Ruyue to be startled: "Could it be that Mister Xie's disciple is Yuwen He?!"

Could he be the mysterious master that Yuwen He rarely mentioned?

"Yes." Old Mr. Xie seemed to have already guessed that she would be so surprised as he nonchalantly nodded his head.

"Little girl, logically speaking, I am a commoner. According to the etiquette of a sovereign, you are a princess of the East Mausoleum and I am a subject of the East Mausoleum, so I should kneel down and pay my respects to you. But according to seniority, that brat is my disciple and you are his wife.

Xiao Ruyue was stunned. The shock she felt was not much less than when she saw the Imperial Advisor's Mansion being blown up in Tatar.

The person in front of her, was the master of the Yuwen He she had heard of but never met!

As someone who had seen the world, Xiao Ruyue quickly recovered from her shock and bowed to the elder, "I have heard a lot about Master's great name. It is my fortune to meet you today."

However, he said that he was a subject of East Mausoleum, so this mister shouldn't be from Da Xia Empire?

"Girl, you're really quick to change your words. I thought you wanted to put on the airs of a princess and empress with my old man." Elder Xie said jokingly.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but laugh, "Master must be joking, the princess and empress alike should be fine, but their reputations are not. Since you are an elder, how can this junior put on airs in front of you? Moreover, just by being able to acknowledge you as his teacher, it is clear that you are an outstanding person. Just based on this outstanding place, this junior must have the appearance of a junior. If Master does not mind, please call me Yue'er or Moon girl like the elders in my family. "

"But how did this old man hear that our East Mausoleum's list of the Princess's room in the Western Xia is' Agility '?" Elder Xie raised his eyebrows slightly as if he had no suspicions regarding the matter.

He truly deserved to be called a reclusive master. Just by a word of address, he was able to uncover many of the secrets behind this.

Or perhaps it could be said that he had come prepared.

After seeing through this point, Xiao Ruyue also became indifferent, "Since you are Yuwen He's master, then you must know something about him. If you feel uncomfortable, you can call me Min Er, but in the end, it is just a form of address. "

"Girl, you are so open-minded." Elder Xie supported the white beard under his chin, his gentle gaze displaying the word 'appreciation'.

"Did that brat tell you anything about my old man?"

Xiao Ruyue shook her head, "Yue'er only knows that Monarch has an unfathomable master, but she has never heard him mention it before."

Yuwen He seemed to be intentionally hiding the truth about his master. He had never mentioned it at all, as if there was an opportunity for him to do so.

Now that she saw this extraordinary Elder Xie, she somewhat understood.

Thinking about it, this old sir did not want Yuwen He to tell others about him, or it could be said that his sect had strict rules, so even with Yuwen He's status, he still had to keep it a secret.

Elder Xie smiled in satisfaction when he heard her words. "Even if that brat has a promise, if he dares to spread this old man's story, I'll pull his tongue!"

Xiao Ruyue immediately thought of the scene where Yuwen He's tongue had been pulled out, and she could not help but shiver.

Too brutal, too bloody.

She could not help but mutter, "If Yuwen He lost his tongue, it wouldn't look good. Moreover, isn't it boring for someone like him to lose his tongue?

Her appearance caused Elder Xie to laugh. "Girl, you're really interesting. This is the first time I've heard someone plead for me like this in my life. It's not all a bad thing that that brat married you."

Xiao Ruyue slightly smiled, "Master, you flatter me."

He was also quite proud of himself.

Elder Xie looked her over from head to toe, right and left, like he was picking vegetables in a market. He had to see if it was new or not.

Xiao Ruyue was goosebumps from his stare, but she found it funny.

After a while, Elder Xie seemed to have gotten a satisfactory answer as he muttered to himself, "That stinking brat really didn't lie to me. This girl is truly different."

"What did you say?" Xiao Ruyue's voice was too soft to hear clearly.

"Nothing." Elder Xie's expression hardened slightly. "I don't want to see him yet, and I'm not here to meet him either. Don't tell him that I've been here before."

Xiao Ruyue did not understand, but she still agreed.

Elder Xie paused before continuing, "Tell him for me, don't think that you can erase all the grudges from the past just by meeting me. The old man's anger won't be quelled that easily. Remember, you must carry my old man's message with you. "

With that, he left.

Xiao Ruyue wanted to call out to him, but the old man's leg was too fast, it disappeared in the corner of the wall in the blink of an eye.

"Elder Xie, you've left, but what about your words?" "You've asked me to do two things, which one should I do?"

Don't tell Yuwen He that he came here, then the second sentence obviously could not be passed on.

If he had passed on the second sentence, it would be impossible for him to do so with the first sentence.

Elder Xie truly made things difficult for him.

Xiao Ruyue shook her head helplessly.

Back then, at the Tatar Imperial Advisor's Mansion, when those black-clothed men mentioned the Sword Saint and the Silver Frost Sword, Yuwen He told them that he only had one master, he should be the Sword Saint.

She had originally wanted to ask him directly, but seeing that Elder Xie seemed to be afraid of others mentioning his affairs, she decided against it. Asking him about his taboo in front of everyone was truly impolite.

For some reason, she had the feeling that this person had a kind face, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but this time, she couldn't remember.

However, this was not a problem.

She thought about it, this Elder Xie had specially come here, and not to see Yuwen He, could it be that he was here to see her?

Just from the observation and probing just now, she had a reason to be so suspicious.

His disciple whom he had not seen for many years had married a wife, so as his master, he had specially come to take a look?

This was a natural thing to do.

Both Yin Lin and Lu Yi waited for a long time, but the Empress didn't come back. They were anxious to call for help when they saw Xiao Ruyue walking back alone.

"Empress, where is old mister Xie?"

Xiao Ruyue said: "Let's go."

"Gone?" Yin Lin and Lu Yi said in unison. Lu Yi said in surprise, "How did he leave? How can we let him leave just like that? "

Xiao Ruyue found it funny and said: "I don't know how to fight, and I'm also a pregnant woman with a full body, how can I stop someone who knows how to run away."

"Then the Empress just said that this Teacher Xie didn't jump over the wall to come in. In other words, he's a guest?" But why haven't I seen it before? "

"Naturally, someone brought him here." Xiao Ruyue's gaze turned deep, and he seemed to have thought of something, "Although the guards of the inn are tight, it's not to the extent of not allowing strangers to enter or leave with the people inside the shop."

"Who?"

A smile flashed past Xiao Ruyue's eyes, but he did not answer her.

After Elder Xie's visit, she was no longer in the mood to walk around.

"By the way, tell me what happened in the past few days."

Both Yin Lin and Lu Yi were extremely happy, thinking: The Empress has finally opened her eyes!

Yin Lin immediately replied loudly: "Yes!"

That... Isn't the website updated? After the revision, I could not see many things clearly, not yet, and was trying to adapt, so I missed a lot of news, Liangge felt that I might have missed a hundred million.

Because he didn't want to end it carelessly, he might drag this matter on for a long time. However, Liangge also hoped that everyone would not get angry after reading this story. How could the first part of the story end up in such a mess?

All in all, the end of this book is due to growth in liangge, and I hope that there will be a satisfactory explanation for you all, that this is a story worth devoting yourself to from the very beginning to the very end.
