264 Chapter 264: Handling the Friendship
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Xuan stood on the hillside and bathed in the sunshine. The glow reflected on her face, revealing a pinkish red color, as if she had been coated with a layer of rouge.
Han Xiao came over and asked with concern: "My sister, who are you waiting for?"
Seeing that Taoist Tieguan had not returned yet, she asked curiously: "Brother, the Taoist priest has not come back since he went to Tiantai Mountain for two days. Did he stay in Tiantai Mountain for the New Year?"
Han Xiao analyzed: "It's possible, otherwise it would have been so cold that he would have returned a long time ago."
Tang Xuan's eyes suddenly became bright, and her face was as bright as the clear sky in spring. She said in surprise: "The Taoist priest said that if Qi Ying is in Tiantai Mountain, he will stay in Tiantai Mountain for the New Year. If he keeps his word, it means Qi Ying
Still alive."
Han Xiao said disapprovingly: "The Taoist priest will keep his promises when it comes to big things. He often talks nonsense about small things, but he may not always do what he says."
Tang Xuan said with great expectation: "I hope what the Taoist Master said this time is true. He stayed in Tiantai Mountain to celebrate the New Year when he saw that Qi Ying was still alive."
Han Xiao looked forward to it: "I also hope Qi Ying is still alive, and I will bring him and you together. Once Xin Wulang is eliminated, I will leave quietly like the Taoist Priest and will not disturb you again."
Tang Xuan's brows showed a heroic spirit, she stared at Han Xiao and said reproachfully: "Why are you talking about this again? The matter between Qi Ying and me has nothing to do with you.
If Qi Ying likes me, she will naturally know what to do. If she doesn't like me, wouldn't it be embarrassing for others if you force her to do it?"
Han Xiao explained: "I feel like Qi Ying has concerns about me.
I told Qi Ying that I like you, and I want to pursue fair competition between you and him. As long as you are willing to accept me, I will not allow him to touch you again.
I told the Taoist priest about this, and the Taoist priest recalled that judging by the time, Qi Ying has not held your hand since then, and I don’t know if it has anything to do with me."
Tang Xuan's eyes widened and she said angrily: "Did you and Qi Ying say that?"
Han Xiao nodded and said: "Yes!"
Tang Xuan frowned and said worriedly: "You can't say that to him, sometimes I don't understand his thoughts.
No wonder since he went to Yiwu County, without you and Wang Yuejiao present, he has not taken the initiative to hold my hand.
Every time I took the initiative to find an opportunity to pretend to be wronged and lie down in his arms to get close to him. Once I even pretended to be injured and fell down to let him pick me up.
Every time I hope that he will be braver and bolder. Unfortunately, besides his sweet words, he refuses to take any actual actions. He even refuses to kiss me, even on my forehead.
I was very disappointed that he didn't take the initiative boldly, and I wondered at that time if he wasn't so stupid that he couldn't feel it."
Han Xiao slapped his forehead and said in surprise: "Oops, I guess it was really me."
Tang Xuan analyzed: "Actually, you don't understand him very well. He just doesn't like to call friends and brothers, but he is actually a kind and righteous person.
He secretly begged my master to seek fame for you, but unfortunately you saved the Japanese general Jiujiudazi and my master did not dare to agree.
He also explained your grievances to Taoist Tieguan. I was there once. If you don’t believe me, go ask Taoist Tieguan.”
Han Xiao said guiltily: "I understand, thank you Qi Ying for secretly feeling sorry for her. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I feel wronged or not.
If Qi Ying is really in Tiantai Mountain, I will definitely tell this matter to him and let him put aside his worries about brotherhood and take the initiative towards you."
"Well," Tang Xuan nodded, "ok, actually you are not wrong and don't blame yourself.
The fact that Qi Ying didn't take the initiative didn't mean that he wanted to give up on me, because he didn't alienate me either.
He is just waiting and waiting to see if you can catch me. He is trying to balance love and brotherhood."
Han Xiao exclaimed: "I understand, my sister, you are still thoughtful.
I think Qi Ying is very confident. He probably saw it from the beginning. You will look down on me, so what if you give me a chance?
So it's fair competition and he's not nervous at all, even if you pause for a while and let me chase you, it doesn't matter."
Tang Xuan smiled slightly: "I prefer Mu Qiang to men who are motivated. Qi Ying may have already seen that he is my type."
Han Xiao refused to give up and said, "If I make great achievements and become a general, will you consider me, sister?"
Tang Xuan lowered her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, brother, it's really impossible for us (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 264: Manage friendship
Well, it’s just that our encounter was so bad that we really didn’t have a chance.”
Han Xiao remembered that the first time he met Tang Xuan was in Ninghai County. That time Han Xiao and Huang Suo were sent to Ninghai County by the fake Wang Feng Heican to participate in the Central Flowering Campaign.
Tang Xuan rushed over to kill the bandit army. It was Tang Xuan who came out to fight Han Xiao.
It was understandable that the two armies were fighting each other for their own masters. The problem was that Huang Suo, who was also a bandit general, while calling Han Xiao brother-in-law, kept teasing Tang Xuan with vulgar words and led Han Xiao into a ditch.
Huang Suo teased: "Hall Master Han, Hall Master Han, can you do it? If not, leave this beauty to me."
Han Xiao said unhappily: "Go away and don't interfere."
Huang Suo became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "Do you still want to marry back and be the wife of the hall master?"
Tang Xuan listened to the insulting words of the bandits and confronted Han Xiao. She decided that Han Xiao was this kind of person and said angrily: "Rogue bandits, let you know the consequences of insulting me."
This was the first time Han Xiao and Tang Xuan met after they grew up, which made Tang Xuan lose interest in Han Xiao. If she didn't have a good impression at the beginning, it would be difficult to change later.
Later, Mrs. Wa made matters worse by objecting to Tang Xuan's recognition of Han Xiao as her elder brother, which further aggravated Tang Xuan's negative impression of Han Xiao, which was no longer possible to change.
Han Xiao recalled the past and understood the reason why Tang Xuan couldn't accept him, and said with despair: "Okay, I understand."
After celebrating the New Year, Xu Hai took out four pages from a book on breaking the invisibility technique that he took out from Bashan Keya Juli and gave them to Cui Qiao to read.
Cui Qiao was shocked after reading it and said: "Xu Hai, how come you have a picture and text explanation of the clone ninjutsu? Where did you get these pages?"
Xu Hai was half-convinced and said: "Is there really your cloaking technique in it?"
Cuiqiao nodded and said, "It's true."
Xu Hai didn't explain and became sad.
Xu Weixue came over and asked: "Xu Hai, Cui Qiao said you are worried, what's going on?"
Xu Hai said listlessly: "Father, do you know Bashanke, the Kuai Dao of the Central Plains?"
Xu Weixue said curiously: "Of course I know, he is a killer who works for money."
Xu Hai held the page in his hand and said worriedly: "How come there are pages about ninjutsu on Bashan Ke's desk?"
"Ah?" Xu Weixue was stunned and said in disbelief, "How come he has pages about ninjutsu?"
Xu Hai recounted: "I entered his house twice and found a total of five pictures. Four were for breaking the invisibility technique, and one was for breaking the bat taming technique."
Xu Weixue's expression became heavy and he wondered: "Could it be miscellaneous books bought from street stalls?"
Xu Hai said: "At first, I thought it was a street stall book bought by Bashangke from Hangzhou. Today I gave four pages of invisibility techniques to Cui Qiao to read. Cui Qiao was shocked and said that one of the pages was her clone technique.
So I conclude that these five pages of ninjutsu are all real, and they are all advanced ninjutsu of the well cover."
Xu Weixue was dubious and said, "It's impossible. Manhole Cover has been living in seclusion on the island all year round. We can't find him even if we want to see him. Bashan is not a pirate and has never been to the sea, so there is no way he knows Manhole Cover."
Xu Hai guessed: "I heard that Manshang Gaiban came to the Central Plains once. That time he came to the Ming Dynasty to challenge Mount Wutai, but he was discovered to be a ninja, and then he was hunted down by all the monks in the mountain.
Is it possible that by that chance, Bashanke got the ninjutsu secret book of the well cover?"
Xu Weixue shook his head and said: "It can't be that time. It was twenty-three years ago when the manhole cover challenged Mount Wutai.
Bashan Ke is now in his thirties. He was only ten years old at that time. How could he have obtained the ninjutsu secrets of the well cover."
Xu Hai said in confusion: "It's really bizarre. The fact is that Bashan Ke really has the ninjutsu secret book page of the manhole cover, and there are more than one page.
Thinking about the recent war, Qi Ying was able to cause trouble in the closed base because he used the art of disguise to deceive everyone.
Qi Ying had never seen a manhole cover, so how could he know how to disguise himself? Everyone couldn't figure it out at first, but now they can figure it out.
Because Bashan Ke had the art of tolerance and taught it to others, Qi Ying got the disguise he wanted."
Xu Weixue didn't believe it and said in shock: "It's really bizarre. How did Bashan Ke get the secret book of Yi Tolerance Technique?"

He shook his head helplessly and said, "Only the manhole cover and Bashan Ke can answer this question."
Xu Weixue thought about the bright side of the matter and said with joy in his sorrow: "It's not that bad. It's a good thing that five ninjutsu pages fell into your hands.
Don’t the five great generals under Shingoro all have invisibility skills? Now that we have a way to break the invisibility skills, they won’t be able to become invisible.”
Xu Hai suddenly enlightened and said happily: "Yes, we picked up the pages of the book that cracked the invisibility technique. Now we can really uproot Xin Wulang."
Xu Weixue said with satisfaction: "This is a great opportunity. Nightingale sent someone to tell us that Tang Xuan's wolf soldiers had arrived at Shangfengling to set up an ambush.
Let’s quickly go back to Taizhou City to discuss military affairs with Nightingale, and find a way to transfer Xin Wulang to Shangfengling, and first eliminate Xin Wulang and then Qi Ying.”
Xu Hai touched his bald head and said happily: "Okay, this is really a great opportunity. As long as the plan is in place, not to mention Xin Wulang, maybe even Qi Ying will get it."
