Zhong Fengyue looked at Gu Rongxue, then glanced down at Su Xiaoliu. In this situation, Su Xiaoliu was obviously at a loss. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trouble Mr. Qiongxue." He tightened his grip on the Tianci Sword and glanced at Su Xiaoliu again.
Zhong Fengyue also drew out the long sword in his hand. His cold eyes glanced at the sword and said, "I didn't prepare any poison on me today. I have to try my martial arts."
Mo Xin quickly walked to the side of the carriage, looked at everyone, and said, "I'll watch the horses. If the horses are injured, we won't be able to get out of this desert."
Everyone nodded.
The horses of the alliance leader and his entourage slowly stopped not far away.
"Hand over the Rebirth Fruit, and I can spare your lives," the alliance leader said, looking at Zhong Fengyue and his group.
Zhong Fengyue let out a soft laugh and said, "Alliance leader, are you confused? The Rebirth Fruit was never yours in the first place. How can you ask us to hand it over?"
Several young chivalrous men with excellent light - footed skills beside them glanced at each other, then looked at them and shouted loudly, "You wretches dare to oppose the alliance leader! As people of the righteous path, we always do just things. It seems that you are going to join the evil path!"
"Pah! What righteous path? Don't even look at what you look like and still claim to be of the righteous path," Duanmu You said contemptuously, her charming eyes full of disdain.
To the other side, her words were no less than the greatest insult. Wang Chengyang was immediately so angry that his whole body trembled.
"Guard Wang, don't act rashly for now," Cang Nanyan saw Wang Chengyang's excitement and reached out his hand to stop him. He looked at Chang He not far away and said, "Chang He, you are no longer a guard. Now you are protecting the traitor and fleeing with the Rebirth Fruit. It's an even greater crime. There are all kinds of rumors about you in the Jianghu now. The taste of a ruined reputation is not pleasant."
Chang He looked at him quietly. His hawk - like eyes showed no emotion. He said, "I never cared about these vain reputations. Moreover, along the way, I haven't heard many bad things about me."
Cang Nanyan was rendered speechless by his words and could only stare at him.
The alliance leader beside him looked at him. His star - like eyes darkened slightly and said, "Chang He, I'll give you a chance now. Hand them all over to me, and I can overlook your previous actions."
Su Xiaoliu subconsciously glanced at Chang He. His hawk - like eyes were calm.
"I'm afraid I'll have to decline this chance," Chang He said expressionlessly, looking at the alliance leader.
Wang Chengyang snorted and said, "You're really ungrateful."
Chang He didn't even look at him, not caring what he said.
Nie Guiwang, standing on the horseback, watched all this quietly. His blue - black eyes were dull, and he said nothing.
Zhong Fengyue looked at the alliance leader through his white gauze hat, curled his lips, and said, "Everyone in the world wants the Rebirth Fruit because it's a treasure that's hard to come by even for a fortune. So, alliance leader, do you want the Rebirth Fruit just for your own selfish desires?"
Several young chivalrous men beside them immediately shouted, "How dare you! How can you insult the alliance leader?"
Su Xiaoliu stood beside Gu Rongxue, watching all this. She moved her lips. These people were almost like they were going to hug the alliance leader's thigh and call him the reincarnated Buddha.
"I won't touch the Rebirth Fruit even if it's in my hands. But if it's in your hands, and if it falls into the hands of some evil - minded person, it will be hard to deal with," the alliance leader said, looking at Zhong Fengyue.
Su Xiaoliu watched the alliance leader quietly. This alliance leader was no longer the one she knew. She pursed her lips.
Chu Weixin let out a soft laugh. His cold eyes stared at the alliance leader and said, "Alliance leader, have you forgotten the bloodshed caused by the Rebirth Fruit a few years ago?" Although he was smiling, his smile didn't reach his heart. When he mentioned "bloodshed", he even showed a moment of indignation.
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Chu Weixin, feeling secretly confused. A few years ago? The Rebirth Fruit had already existed a few years ago?
Cang Nanyan beside the alliance leader looked at Chu Weixin, tightened the reins in his hand, and said, "Since the divine doctor still remembers, you should know that if the Rebirth Fruit is taken by you, everything that happened a few years ago will surely repeat itself."
Su Xiaoliu became more and more confused. Did the Rebirth Fruit cause a scramble among the people in the Jianghu before?
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Gu Rongxue beside her. When she looked up, she found that his face was a bit pale. In the desolate desert, he watched the front quietly. His beautiful eyes were full of complex emotions that were hard to describe.
"It's the Hundred Families. It's the Hundred Families," Mo Xin not far away looked at Cang Nanyan, biting her lower lip, and said.
When everyone heard the words "Hundred Families", their faces changed.
The words "Hundred Families" were like a taboo. No one wanted to mention them unless it was absolutely necessary.
Wanyan Meng blinked her tiger - like eyes, slightly surprised. She just heard... the Hundred Families?
Jiang Li crossed his arms over his chest, smiled at Cang Nanyan, and said, "As long as the alliance leader doesn't make public the matter of the Rebirth Fruit reappearing in the Jianghu, the tragedy of a few years ago will not repeat itself." The people mentioned the hatred of a few years ago again, and the air was filled with a hidden smell of gunpowder.
"Alliance leader, stop wasting your breath on them. Just capture them all. These wretches have clearly joined the evil path!" Several young chivalrous men looked at the alliance leader, ready to go at any moment, just waiting for the alliance leader's order.
Wang Chengyang looked at the alliance leader, also waiting for his words.
Zhong Fengyue secretly tightened his grip on the Tianci Sword. Duanmu You and Jiang Li were also ready. Gu Rongxue lowered his head and held Su Xiaoliu's hand. He gave a soft laugh. Mo Xin and Chu Weixin glanced at each other. Wanyan Meng walked to Chang He's side, looked up and said something to him. The white tiger, full of energy, watched the front quietly with its bell - like eyes, looking like a king.
The alliance leader watched Zhong Fengyue and his group quietly. Under the intense gazes of Wang Chengyang and others, he slowly said, "Capture Mr. Qiongxue and Guard Chang."
Su Xiaoliu was suddenly shocked. She looked up at Gu Rongxue. Gu Rongxue frowned slightly. Zhong Fengyue looked at the alliance leader. Chu Weixin and the others also looked surprised...
Chang He, in a dark - blue long robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the alliance leader, and quietly said, "Come on."
Su Xiaoliu looked at Gu Rongxue. Gu Rongxue looked down at her, smiled extremely gently, then slowly let go of the hand that was holding hers. He turned around and walked towards the alliance leader step by step.
"Mr. Qiongxue!" Jiang Li was stunned and quickly walked over to stop him.
Gu Rongxue looked at Jiang Li. There was no hatred or anger in his eyes. He softly said, "Leave quickly." He smiled slightly and moved his lips again.
Only Chang He understood what he said.
Chang He lowered his head and told Zhong Fengyue this sentence.
Zhong Fengyue tightened his grip on the Tianci Sword. Su Xiaoliu was anxious and quickly looked up at Zhong Fengyue and asked, "Young Master Zhong, what did Mr. Qiongxue say?"
Zhong Fengyue lowered his head. His red lips curled slightly. He looked at Su Xiaoliu and said in a voice that only she could hear, "He said, take the Rebirth Fruit and never come back again."
