Chapter 771: Old Friend

The first time Chen Chao saw a woman, he looked at her clothes instead of her face. It was not because of his state or some other reason, but because he had never seen the clothes of the woman in front of him before. She was wearing a black long skirt with countless patterns on it. The patterns and colors were different, but they did not look abrupt, but added a more mysterious feeling.

Chen Chao raised his head and looked at the woman's face in front of him.

The woman had a beautiful face.

Chen Chao believed that he had seen many women who could be called peerless in his life, such as Xie Nandu, Zhu Xia, or Xilu now, and even the girl in white in the coffin, who could be said to be the most beautiful women in the world.

The woman in front of him was undoubtedly the same as them.

She was one of the few in this world.

As a woman, Xilu was different from Chen Chao. She did not lose her mind. Instead, she looked at the woman in front of her with some vigilance and a solemn expression.

From the moment the woman walked out of the hut, Xilu paid special attention to the woman in front of her, but even so, she tried so hard to sense, but in the end she still couldn't see the woman's roots.

She couldn't even sense the woman's breath.

The woman glanced at the two young people in front of her, and after a moment she smiled and said, "You are so young." 🄲

The woman's voice was like a slowly flowing stream, clear and clean, as if it didn't belong to this world, but it didn't make people feel alienated.

However, after the woman spoke, the voice and language were different from their current ones, but Chen Chao and the others quickly understood the meaning of this sentence.

But facing this sentence, they didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Senior..."

Chen Chao opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The woman frowned when she heard these two words

, not knowing what she was thinking, but after a moment, when she spoke again, it was a language that Chen Chao could understand.

"This lovely girl turned out to be a little tiger. No wonder the little guy chose you."

The woman looked at Xilu and waved gently. The flying sword flew towards the woman with joy and hovered in front of her, like two old friends who had known each other for a long time. The woman's fingers gently brushed the sword, and then said with some nostalgia, "It's been a long time."

Chen Chao's mind was still on the previous sentence the woman said before. Chen Chao always felt weird about using cute to describe Xilu.

Such a woman who is cruel to herself and others can also be called cute?

"Okay, since you chose someone else, just follow her obediently. Why do you act like this?"

The woman seemed to be dissatisfied and patted the flying sword, and then the flying sword whimpered a little aggrievedly, and then flew towards Xilu reluctantly.

Xilu held the hilt of the sword, and the flying sword trembled lightly, then shrank rapidly, and finally became the size of the palm, and turned into a hairpin again.

Xilu did not speak after inserting it into the hair again.

But at this moment, both of them could feel that the woman in front of them had no ill will towards them.

The woman could see Xilu's true identity at a glance, not to mention his realm.

"Senior..."

Chen Chao spoke again, but this time he was interrupted again halfway through.

The woman looked at the young man in front of her, squinted her eyes, and murmured, "Why do I feel that you have a familiar smell."

"Like

an old friend of mine."

The woman looked at Chen Chao in front of her, and suddenly a light came out of her eyes, as if two bright stars had emerged from behind the thick clouds at this moment.

Chen Chao was a little dazed for a while, he had never seen such a pair of eyes.

The woman walked in front of Chen Chao, stretched out her hand, and gently fell on his head, but soon let go, her hand kept falling, and finally frowned.

Finally, the woman's eyes fell on the sword on Chen Chao's waist.

"It's his knife..."

The woman's eyes showed a lot of nostalgia. Chen Chao seemed to see a tall and handsome figure in her eyes at this moment. The man stood on a lonely peak and looked extremely lonely.

It seemed that there was only one person in the world.

Chen Chao felt a little familiar, but he soon knew the reason.

It was the knife on his waist.

Chen Chao whispered, "It's that knife."

The knife on Chen Chao's waist was originally just a broken knife, but its origin was extremely mysterious. Although it was forged by Jianqi Mountain, even Jianqi Mountain didn't know much.

But the woman in front of him seemed to be very familiar with the former owner of this knife.

"Pull it out and let me see."

The woman's voice was trembling.

Chen Chao held the handle of the knife and slowly pulled out the knife on his waist.

I don't know what the name of this knife was before, but now its name is Yunni.

"It..."

The woman stretched out her fingers and began to gently stroke the blade, very slowly, as if stroking the face of a loved one.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman took her hand back, looked at the knife in front of her with disappointment, and whispered, "It's not that knife anymore."

Chen Chao didn't say anything, he understood what the woman meant.

The cloud mud was reforged, and although there were still some things that the knife had, it was not that knife after all.

In other words, the knife was not that knife, and the person was naturally not that person.

Chen Chao could vaguely feel that the woman in front of him must have an inexplicable relationship with the owner before Yunni was recast.

But Chen Chao narrowed his eyes. The previous owner of this sword should have appeared hundreds of years ago, and this woman probably didn't exist hundreds of years ago, right?

At least a thousand years ago?

So how come the two of them meet?

Chen Chao felt keenly that there must be a story in this.

The woman looked at Chen Chao disappointedly and didn't speak for a long time.

Chen Chao was not in a hurry, just waiting for the woman in front of him to speak.

"I haven't seen him for a long, long time."

The woman looked at Chen Chao gently and asked, "Where did you get his knife?"

Before Chen Chao spoke, the woman shook her head and asked, "What's your name?"

Chen Chao said softly, "Chen Chao."

The woman looked at Chen Chao, two bright stars appeared in her eyes again, and then she looked at Chen Chao seriously again.

Chen Chao thought for a while and then spoke about how he got the knife.

The woman said frustratedly, "I know...he must be gone."

Chen Chao felt her sadness, but didn't know how to comfort the woman in front of him. After all, he didn't know the story at all, and even if he wanted to say it, he didn't know how to tell it.

I finally went to have a hot pot meal today, but I had diarrhea all day and felt very uncomfortable. That’s all for today.
