Mei Qinghe was silent for a long while before saying, "The Five Mountains Sword Sect are of the same mind, they wouldn't be as despicable as Senior said."
She was just being stubborn, she knew this herself, and Li Miao knew it too.
Otherwise, how else could she answer?
Was she supposed to say, "Senior, you're right, our Huashan Sect is indeed about to be destroyed"?
Mei Qinghe's family had been destroyed when she was young, and she was taken in and raised by the Huashan Sect, and she had long regarded the sect's honor and disgrace as her own pursuit.
In order not to lose face for the Huashan Sect, she could wait for Li Miao to attack and kill her.
Of course, she couldn't agree with what Li Miao said.
But the Huashan Sect's decline could no longer be concealed, and she couldn't refute it with confidence, so she could only use a weak "it won't be as you said" to distinguish herself.
Li Miao smiled, "It seems you also know this very well."
"I am indeed going to be unfavorable to the Five Mountains Sword Sect, this is true."
"But being unfavorable to the Five Mountains Sword Sect is not the same as being unfavorable to the Huashan Sect. Don't you think so?"
Mei Qinghe didn't answer.
She understood what Li Miao meant, but after all, she was a young man in her twenties, who had practiced Martial Arts in the sect since she was a child and rarely went out.
Unlike the old Jianghu who had seen through the essence of the so-called "Jianghu", although she knew what was called profit and what was called high and low, she didn't want to admit it.
Just like some young people in Li Miao's previous life, they knew what was called "correct", but they just stubbornly didn't want to admit it.
Li Miao smiled.
He didn't have any calculations originally, he just wanted to finish watching the play he didn't finish last night.
It was when he saw Mei Qinghe about to make a move that he couldn't help but remind her, and then these things happened.
Recognizing that Mei Qinghe's Martial Arts was from the Huashan Sect, he thought it would be good to kill two birds with one stone and catch an internal ghost as a vanguard in advance.
But now his thoughts had changed.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard was a secret service organization, and it dealt with the most despicable transactions, the most naked interests, and the most sinister human hearts in the Jianghu.
After being on duty in the Embroidered Uniform Guard for twenty years, his sense of anticipation for the so-called Jianghu was declining day by day.
The real Jianghu wasn't so romantic; upholding justice would lead to a complete loss of life, and quick revenge would lead to the destruction of the family.
The reputation of a hero spread throughout the world often wasn't because of Martial Arts, but because of power. Drawing a saber to see blood often wasn't for the sake of righteousness, but for money.
Two-faced and deceitful were the real human world.
So when he saw Mei Qinghe holding a half-broken sword and waiting to die, Li Miao couldn't help but laugh.
Because what this woman showed was somewhat in line with his expectations of the Jianghu.
This gave him another arrangement for Mei Qinghe.
Li Miao saw that Mei Qinghe didn't speak, and he wasn't annoyed.
Enticement was often useless for young people, but threats were effective for everyone.
He changed the topic and said, "What do you think of my Martial Arts?"
Mei Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when Li Miao stopped talking about the Huashan Sect's predicament.
She shook her head, "I can't see clearly."
She really couldn't see clearly.
Li Miao made his move, and she didn't even notice it at all. It was when she saw the short sword that she understood what had happened.
As for the operation of flicking his hand to break her long sword, she couldn't even find a suitable target to make a comparison.
If it was a Hidden weapon technique, it didn't seem like it.
Hidden weapons emphasized the illusory and the real, and a fatal blow. She hadn't heard of any Hidden weapon masters who pursued a single dart to pierce through a person.
But if it was purely thrown out with force, it was also incredible.
Li Miao reached out and pinched the sword body of the sword in Mei Qinghe's hand, and gently snapped it.
Bang~
He snapped off a section.
Mei Qinghe was stunned. Li Miao had snapped it from her hand, but she didn't feel how much effort the sword hilt had taken.
Looking at the section of the sword body in Li Miao's hand, there was a clear fingerprint on it!
Li Miao didn't "snap" the sword body, but like picking a flower, he "pinched" a section from the sword body!
"Reach out." Li Miao said.
Mei Qinghe blankly reached out her hand.
Li Miao held the section of the sword body in his hand and reached it above Mei Qinghe's palm.
Without seeing his fingers move, a string of iron sand "rustled" fell from under his palm.
It wasn't until the iron sand filled half of Mei Qinghe's palm that Li Miao stopped, and brushed off the powder on his hand.
"Can you see clearly now?"
Mei Qinghe blankly looked at the iron sand in her palm.
If she was asked if she could see clearly, she still couldn't.
This move of iron sand almost overturned her understanding of Martial Arts.
There was a common Outer Sect hard skill in the Jianghu, called Iron Sand Palm. The practice method was to constantly insert the palms into the scorching iron sand, and grind the skin and flesh. When practiced to a high level, one could grab weapons with bare hands without being cut.
There were also masters in the Jianghu who became famous for this, who could seize weapons from others with their bare hands.
But that was using iron sand to grind the palms, who had heard of using the palms to grind out iron sand?
No matter how good the Martial Arts were, the human body was also flesh and blood. If one could train the body to be harder than iron, then why practice swords?
But for Li Miao's Martial Arts, Mei Qinghe also understood.
Invincible.
At the very least, almost all Saber Technique and Sword Technique were useless against him.
Saber Technique and Sword Technique were extensions of the limbs, but they were also destined to not be as flexible as the limbs. It was because the sharp sword was sharper and harder than a person's palm, and because flesh and blood couldn't stop steel, that Sword Technique came into being.
But in front of this person, the swords and sabers themselves were also weaknesses.
If you handed your long sword to someone, they would directly crush it like they were pinching tofu, and then throw the fragments back at you, and they could pierce you through, then what was the point of talking about superb Sword Technique?
"Senior, who exactly are you?"
Mei Qinghe asked hoarsely.
"My name is Li Miao, I am no one, at least no one in the Jianghu knows me."
Li Miao said with a smile, "Now I'll make a deal with you."
"You will follow me from today on, you will answer whatever I ask, and you will do whatever I tell you to do."
"When my business is done, it might even be a great benefit to your Huashan Sect."
"If you don't agree, I'll go to the Huashan Sect and poke each of the Huashan swords with a finger."
"Did you hear clearly?"
Mei Qinghe nodded.
She could only agree. She had no right to refuse.
"Very good, wait here."
"To be my subordinate, there is one more thing that needs to be settled."
After saying that, Li Miao flashed and disappeared.
Mei Qinghe stood silently, not daring to move, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She thought she had achieved success in practicing Martial Arts, and she had also inquired about the Martial Arts of her enemy in advance, and she was confident of success before she secretly went down the mountain to seek revenge.
Who knew that she would be threatened by a strange master and become his subordinate?
Her sect didn't know where she was now, and people would definitely be sent to look for her later.
When they met, how would she explain it to the sect? Tell the truth?
If what happened tonight hadn't happened to her, she would have just regarded it as a joke!
Not to mention that this person named Li Miao frankly said that he was going to be unfavorable to the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Now they were in the Qi Lu Region, and it was obvious that they were going to the Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance in Mount Tai this year.
When this person came to the door, and she was by his side, could the Huashan Sect really stay out of it?
If this person really destroyed the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and the Huashan Sect, which was declining day by day, lost the reputation of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, could it barely survive?
Her thoughts raced, and Mei Qinghe became more and more desperate.
Just as she was in a thousand thoughts, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
She looked up and saw that it was Li Miao.
Li Miao raised his hand and threw a person in front of her.
That person had his acupoints sealed, and was thrown to the ground with a thud, struggling to get up, and saying.
"Your Excellency, I don't know where I have offended you. If it's money, I have a box of escort silver in my house, and I am willing to offer it with both hands."
"If there are misunderstandings from the past, and if my subordinates have offended you, Your Excellency can do as you please, and I will never cover for them."
"If I have offended Your Excellency, please tell me, I will give you both my hands and legs, just to spare my life."
That person struggled for a long time, and finally managed to sit up, and looked at Mei Qinghe.
Seeing her face clearly, that person pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and stammered, "It's you... you're still alive?"
Mei Qinghe looked at Zhao Dehua, who was sitting on the ground, and said.
“Yes, old man.”
“I am still alive.”
