Who Is the Fire Envoy?

"when."

The fat man's sword didn't even touch Qiao Xiaoqiao, but was knocked to the ground by Gu Hanshuang.

"Who are you to meddle in the affairs of our Sword Forging Villa?" The fat man looked at Gu Hanshuang in astonishment, and shouted in shame and anger: "Someone come, someone come... ugh!"

Gu Hanshuang placed her sword across his shoulders and said calmly, "Shut up."

"You, what do you want to do!" The fat man said in horror, "I am the third young master of Zhujian Villa. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, you will all die."

Qiao Xiaoqiao said calmly: "No one wants to hurt you, we just want you to be quiet and stop causing trouble for this little girl."

"You, you guys..." The fat man's eyes moved between Qingwan girl and Qiao Xiaoqiao and the others, and suddenly warned Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang: "You don't know the situation at all, so it's best not to interfere in this matter, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"If you bully this little girl again, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Qiao Xiaoqiao threatened indifferently.

The fat man felt the cold edge of the sword on his neck piercing his bones, and shuddered again. He repeated, "You don't know who she is, or what the situation is. It's best not to meddle in her affairs. She is an ominous person, a demon, and an evil spirit. If you get involved with her, you will definitely not end up well."

"Are you done?" Qiao Xiaoqiao said coldly, "Get out of here if you're done, or you'll end up in trouble."

Gu Hanshuang retracted the sword and put it back into the sheath.

"Just wait, things won't end like this, I'm not done with you!" The fat man said harsh words while running away. After he felt a safe distance, he did not forget to point at the young girl from a distance: "You bitch, don't be so proud. There are still two days left. You'd better not play tricks and don't try to escape! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Third brother, I..." The elegant girl opened her mouth to explain something, but the fat man was afraid that Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang would beat him again, so he turned around and ran away.

Qiao Xiaoqiao felt pity for this graceful girl and couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't be afraid. With us here, no one will dare to bully you again."

"Thank you, sisters, but I am really an unlucky person. It's better not to have too much contact with me." The young girl still had a look of shock on her face. After nodding slightly to express her gratitude to Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang, she hurried away.

Qiao Xiaoqiao watched the little girl leave and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you want to help her?" Gu Hanshuang asked casually.

Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't nod directly, but said calmly: "We need to find out what happened to her first."

"You'd better not investigate. Otherwise, running into a wall is no big deal, but you may even lose your life." The speaker was a young man with a resolute face, but his eyes were full of high spirits. Behind him followed several sword servants carrying long swords.

"What do you mean?" Qiao Xiaoqiao looked at the man and instantly matched his identity from the information Wu Jiu gave her. It was none other than the son of the governor of Qingjian Province and one of the favorites to win the sword test competition, Young Master Tie Jian Tie Ziyang.

Tie Ziyang crossed his arms, a half-smile on his face: "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

"I really don't know." Qiao Xiaoqiao said calmly, "This is our first time in Qingjian Province, and we don't know much about the social customs here."

"No wonder." Tie Ziyang's vigilance eased a little, but he was not interested in giving Qiao Xiaoqiao a scientific explanation. He just warned them solemnly, "Then don't meddle in other people's business. The fate of women in the Sword Forging Villa is destined to be with the sword from the moment they are born."

"With the sword?" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but sneer. "That sounds nice, but it's nothing more than sacrificing the life of an innocent woman to a dead object."

Tie Ziyang couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, and said in a cold voice: "A sword is not a dead object. Since you have come to participate in the sword test competition, you are so disrespectful to the sword. You are not worthy of being a swordsman."

"I never said I was a swordsman." Qiao Xiaoqiao said lightly.

Tie Ziyang glanced at Gu Hanshuang who was carrying a long sword: "She is not one either?"

"I am a swordsman, but I never stick to the sword." Gu Hanshuang's expression was even more indifferent. "Whether it is a magic sword, a fairy sword or any other sword, it is just a tool to carry the Tao. If in order to achieve the so-called magic sword, the lives of innocent people must be sacrificed, then it is not worthy of being called a magic sword. At most, it is just an evil weapon."

"You are simply spreading rumors to confuse the public!" Tie Ziyang was furious. He pointed his finger at Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang and scolded them, "I heard that two very powerful female swordsmen emerged this year. I was quite pleased and even wanted to support you. I didn't expect you to insult the way of swords like this. You are really not worthy of using swords at all."

"Whether it's suitable or not is not up to you to decide." Qiao Xiaoqiao knew that this tough guy must be a loyal fan of the so-called sword way, and she was too lazy to say anything more to him, "Swords are just tools. If you don't have enough cultivation, no matter how well you practice swords, it's just a sideshow!"

"How dare you belittle the way of the sword! I will kill you right now!" Tie Ziyang was furious. He raised his hand and summoned a huge sword that shone like water. The villa was immediately filled with murderous aura.

"If you make the first move, I can also kill you first." Gu Hanshuang took half a step forward and stared at Tie Ziyang expressionlessly. As long as he dared to mess around, she would ensure that he would be killed before he made a move.

"Really?" Tie Ziyang was full of disdain, and pointed his sword at Gu Hanshuang: "Then I will give it a try."

"Stop it!" At this time, several figures flew over from a distance. Judging from their attire, they should be the guards inside the villa. The first one had thick eyebrows and angry eyes, and shouted loudly: "No private fighting is allowed in the villa!"

Tie Ziyang glanced at the person who came and subconsciously suppressed his murderous intent.

"Mr. Tie, what is going on?" The person who came was none other than Gao Jianming, the chief steward of Zhujian Villa, who was also a swordsman. His cultivation was around the fusion stage. He had a restrained energy and his eyes were as sharp as lightning. After glancing at the situation around him, he took the lead in asking Tie Ziyang about the situation.

Tie Ziyang said coldly: "These two women insulted the way of the sword, and I just wanted to teach them a lesson."

"Ms. Qiao, Miss Gu, what do you have to say?" The tall butler looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang and asked expressionlessly.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's expression remained calm. She smiled and said, "There's nothing much to say. It's just that I have a different understanding of the way of the sword from this iron-hearted young master. In this world, we should seek common ground while reserving differences. However, this iron-hearted young master wanted to draw his sword and kill people just because of a difference of opinion. His magnanimity is really despicable."

"What did you say!" Tie Ziyang's anger surged up again in an instant, and he tightened his grip on the sword. If the tall butler had not been here, he would have probably taken action.

"Young Master Tie, even if you are the son of the Tiezhou Mu family, you'd better not mess around in the villa!" The tall butler stared at Tie Ziyang coldly and said with a warning: "You should know that Qingjianzhou was built by the Sword Casting Villa first, and then the state."

Tie Ziyang could only snort coldly and said nothing more.

"And you two, although you are guests, since you are guests, you should perform your duties as guests." The strategy followed by the tall butler is to blame each other and then give a warning and leave it at that.

Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't take the tall butler's words seriously, and just asked, "On the day when the sword test competition begins, do we really have to sacrifice a young girl to sharpen the sword?"

"This is an internal matter of our villa. Don't ask too much and don't say too much." A trace of surprise appeared on the tall butler's face, but it was only a flash. Then he said in a cold voice: "What you need to do is to adjust your state. Tomorrow is the day for the sword duel. Don't lose your life because of your lack of sword skills."

Qiao Xiaoqiao asked, "Will tomorrow's sword fight be a life-or-death one?"

The tall butler said in a cold voice: "We will sign a life and death contract. As for whether we will meet each other in life and death, it all depends on your swordsmanship. Miss Qiao, do you have any questions?"

"No more." Qiao Xiaoqiao replied with a smile.

The tall butler said to the people present: "Then everyone should go back to your rooms. After dusk, no one is allowed to walk around the manor."

"This matter is not over yet. You two just wait for me." Tie Ziyang glared at Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang from a distance, "Don't think that I won't kill women. Tomorrow I will let you know the consequences of insulting the way of the sword."

Qiao Xiaoqiao did not respond, but simply said: "The governor is the father and mother of the people of a state. As the son of the governor, don't you think it is shameful to take human life so lightly?"

"A mere ant, are you worthy of my attention?" Tie Ziyang said coldly, then turned and left with a group of sword servants.

Although we should not be blinded by one thing, we can still get a glimpse of the governance strategy of the Iron Governor from the words and deeds of this governor's son. No wonder Queen Ji asked her to pay attention to the Iron Governor before she left. It seems that there is indeed a big problem.

Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang also returned to the room.

"We have already met three of the so-called four most popular candidates for this sword test competition." Qiao Xiaoqiao tapped the table with her slender fingers and said to Gu Hanshuang, "Whether it's cultivation, swordsmanship, or tolerance, they are not very good."

Gu Hanshuang nodded and slowly told the results of her observations of the three people: "The Dragon Slayer Sword Xiao Tingyu is arrogant and frivolous, and his swordsmanship is like a castle in the air, flashy but not practical; the Crown Prince Yun Qilie of Huoyun Country has a fiery temper, and his swordsmanship is too strong and not flexible enough, and there is no room for improvement; as for the governor's son just now, he is too conceited, and his swordsmanship is treacherous and gloomy, full of murderous aura, and he must have killed many people."

"Who among these three could be the fireman we are looking for?" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked casually.

Gu Hanshuang pondered for a while, then shook her head: "I can't be sure yet. I can only make a judgment after watching their swordsmanship tomorrow."

"This is too slow." Qiao Xiaoqiao shook her head and muttered to herself, "Is there any way to make that Impatient Master show up?"

"According to previous inferences, the only way is to make the anger in the Sword Forging Villa reach its peak." Gu Hanshuang said slowly: "In this way, the Fire Envoy will reveal a skeleton. But how to make the anger spread is a problem."

Qiao Xiaoqiao also found the situation a bit tricky. She had never practiced any fire magic, and Gu Hanshuang's swordsmanship was also cold and gloomy. So she could only think of a solution from other places.

"Wait, I have an idea." Qiao Xiaoqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she leaned close to Gu Hanshuang's ear and whispered a few words, then asked, "Sister Shuang, can you do it?"

Gu Hanshuang thought carefully for a while before saying with certainty, "We can give it a try."
