Chapter 597 Xuanying Pays Homage to Master Through the Door (1)

Xuanying should have reported the matter of the rare Seven Cities Conference of Cangmu Kingdom being held in Jinyang City to his master as early as possible, but he paid a visit about half a month ago, and the servants of the Golden Sword and Black Sword reported that the Venerable was still in seclusion to comprehend the martial arts and could not see anyone.

As of today, he had not seen his master for nearly four months. Golden Blade and Black Sword were very concerned about his progress in martial arts, and would often give him guidance or ask him questions every ten days or so. It had never happened before that he had neither summoned him nor accepted an audience for such a long time.

However, it takes time to study martial arts in seclusion, and outsiders cannot be disturbed, so Xuanying didn't find it strange that his master didn't see him.

The next few days would be the Seven Cities Conference. Although Xuanying was the Major General of Jinyang City, with a noble status and great power, he did not participate. Firstly, these matters of negotiation with foreign cities were not within his job scope, and secondly, it was not what he liked. He did not want to deal with too many people.

But this matter must be made known to Master Jin Dao Hei Jian, because even if an agreement is finally reached and the seven cities or several cities are willing to form an alliance to fight against the Red Soldiers, how and how many troops should be sent by Jinyang City are still decided by Master. As a major general, I must not make decisions on such a major matter on my own.

Sisi arrived at the Songzhu Garden early in the morning.

She saw Xuanying sitting in the room with disheveled hair and said angrily, "You are the general of Jinyang City, why don't you want to comb your hair these days? What do you look like?!"

Xuanying just smiled at her and didn't say anything.

Sisi had no choice but to place a bronze mirror in front of Xuanying, and then found a comb and started combing his hair.

Xuanying asked, "Do you remember when we hid in an abandoned hut in Tiankun Castle four years ago?"

Sisi said, "Of course I remember." At this point, she suddenly remembered the time when she was drenched in the rain. At that time, her clothes were soaked and she needed to change them. The room was small, so she was only separated from Xuanying by a thin curtain when she changed clothes. Unexpectedly, her naked body was reflected in a basin of clear water in the room, and was seen by Xuanying...

Her fair, bright face suddenly turned red, and she stammered, "Why...why did you bring this up?"

This scene naturally did not escape Xuanying's eyes. He couldn't help but think of that beautiful scene. In his excitement, he couldn't help but grab Sisi's little hand holding the comb.

Sisi was startled, but did not struggle. She could feel Xuanying's cold hands trembling slightly.

Xuanying turned his head to look at her. The cold light in his eyes was gone, replaced by a soft one, like the warm candlelight in spring.

Sisi bit her lower lip lightly and said, "Let me ask you, why...why did you bring up something that happened a few years ago?"

Xuanying gradually calmed down from his excitement and asked, "Do you still remember the spirit called '虺尾'?"

Sisi nodded and said, "Of course I remember. His tail is a poisonous snake without eyes. It's very weird."

"Where do you think he came from, Ear Pot Mountain or Beast Mountain?"

Sisi shook her head and said, "I don't think so. There are very few spirits in Cangmu Country that look like him."

Xuanying smiled and said, "For example, you are much more beautiful than those young ladies in the boudoirs of Jinyang City."

Sisi immediately frowned and said, "I've told you many times that I'm a human, not a spirit! Why don't you believe me?!"

Xuanying said, "Of course I believe you." He paused, then continued, "Let's talk business. Where do you think the spirit of the snake tail came from?"

Sisi frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Looking at his appearance, he looks a lot like the spirit from the Red Sand Country, but his accent is completely different..."

"Do you really think he looks like a spirit from the Red Sand Nation?"

"Yeah, look at his body shape, teeth, and that strange tail without eyes. I've never seen one in Cangmu Country."

"But his accent is from Cangmu Country..."

Sisi nodded and said, "That's right."

"Could it be that someone brought him from Chisha Country to Cangmu Country, and over time, he learned the Cangmu dialect?"

Sisi frowned and didn't dare to answer. After a while of silence, she asked, "What's the matter with this?"

Xuanying shook his head and said, "I just feel weird."

Sisi had combed his hair, tied it into a bun, and put on a crown. Then she put the mirror in the right position and asked with a smile, "How do you think it looks?"

Xuanying looked at himself in the mirror. He had been in Jinyang City for more than four years. He had no worries about food and clothing. His face was not only fairer, but also not as thin as before. Suddenly, he remembered the tragic death of his parents and sister, while he was living a life of luxury in Jinyang City. His eyes immediately turned cold again.

Sisi asked: "Xuanying, you...what's wrong with you?"

Xuanying said, "I'm going to see Master later. Would you like to go with me?"

Sisi said happily, "Okay, of course I'm willing." Xuanying had never invited her to go with him when he did work before. This was the first time, so Sisi was naturally very happy.

The residence of Golden Blade and Black Sword is located in the northeast of Jinyang City, outside the main city, with a lush hill called Nishan behind it. The house is not very exquisite and luxurious, but it is surrounded by green mountains and trees, and is very quiet. The older Golden Blade and Black Sword get, the more they like quietness.

Xuanying and Sidai put on their hoods and rode a horse each. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the residence of Golden Blade and Black Sword.

After knocking on the iron ring on the door for a while, a servant came over and opened the door. Seeing that it was Xuanying and Sisi, he hurriedly bowed and called out "General Xuan".

Xuanying said, "Please let me in. I have something important to discuss with Master."

The servant said, "Please forgive me, General Xuan. The Venerable said that he has not seen anyone recently."

Xuanying frowned and asked, "It's been more than two months. Could it be that Master is still comprehending the way of martial arts?"

The servant bowed and replied, "That is a major matter for Your Excellency. We servants don't know much about it, and it's not appropriate for us to ask too much."

Xuanying said, "Please let me in first. I am just talking to Master outside the room. You don't need to open the door and disturb him."

The servant showed a very embarrassed look on his face and said, "It's not that I don't want the general to come in, but the venerable did say that if he doesn't leave on his own, he won't see anyone who comes."

Sisi couldn't help but feel a little angry, and interrupted, "Although the Venerable is of noble status, is it true that he will not see anyone who comes?"

The servant said, "Yes, even if our Lord of Jin City came, I would still answer like this. I didn't mean to embarrass you two."
