Chapter 126: A Woman's Heart
At noon the next day, Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda were packing their luggage in the room, preparing to set off the next day and rush back to Luoyang.

"I'm going to say goodbye to Master Pan. Would you like to come with me?" Luo Ningyu suddenly appeared outside the door and asked with a smile, "Master Pan wants to give Dad a gift. What do you think it will be?" Seeing Luo Ningyu's cheerful appearance at the moment, she seemed to be in a good mood.

In fact, Luo Ningyu had not been happy in Yingchuan these few days, especially the East Lake Gang was looking for trouble everywhere, which made her very disgusted. She had been eager to go home for a long time, and now that she was about to leave, how could she not be happy?
"It's not the Jade Guanyin anyway." Lin Fangda made a joke, but Luo Ningyu rolled her eyes. She turned to look at Liu Xunyi and said with a smile: "Xunyi, Mr. Pan appreciates you so much, why don't you come with me to resign?"

"I……"

"Ahem! May I ask if Young Master Liu is here?"

Suddenly, a somewhat dull voice sounded from outside the yard, and Pan Wu, sweating profusely, walked in hesitantly accompanied by Pan Chun.

Liu Xunyi was slightly surprised, and hurriedly greeted them, "It turns out to be Mr. Pan and Mr. Pan, please come in!"

"Young Master Liu, you're welcome." Pan Wu waved his hand hastily. He looked hesitant and seemed to want to say something. Seeing this, Luo Ningyu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Second Uncle Pan, you can say whatever you want. There's no need to be shy."

"Actually, I came to see Young Master Liu to learn a few moves." Pan Wu hesitated for a long time, and finally told his purpose. "I heard that you will leave Yingchuan tomorrow. I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to learn from you in the future, so I came here presumptuously. I hope Young Master Liu will not mind."

Liu Xunyi was stunned. Before he could speak, Lin Fangda interrupted him anxiously, "Second Master Pan came here today... Could it be that he wanted to avenge your son? Yesterday, although Xunyi hit Master Pan a little harder, at least he didn't hurt his vital parts..."

"Young Master Lin, you misunderstood." Pan Wu hurriedly explained, "Pan Chun and I were practicing in the backyard just now, but we gained little after practicing for a long time. Suddenly I remembered that Young Master Liu is an extraordinary martial artist. If I could learn a few moves from Young Master Liu, I would definitely benefit a lot. That's why I suddenly begged for mercy... If Young Master Liu is unwilling to teach us, we will leave now."

After that, Pan Wu dragged Pan Chun out of the courtyard as if he was escaping. Looking at his ashamed look, it was not difficult to guess that Pan Wu must have mustered up the courage to come to Liu Xunyi for advice.

"Uncle Pan is an introverted person. He usually doesn't talk much and doesn't often interact with others. Today, he had the guts to come uninvited. He must want to make more preparations for the ten-year war, so he sincerely wants to seek advice from Xunyi." Luo Ningyu analyzed.

"Master Pan, please stay!" Liu Xunyi was invigorated upon hearing this, and hurriedly said, "As long as you don't mind my shallow martial arts, I am willing to learn a few moves from Master Pan."

"That's great!" Pan Wu smiled and said excitedly, "In that case, I thank you in advance."

"So you are here!"

When Pan Wu and Liu Xunyi were talking, Ding Cui's voice suddenly rang out. She came forward with two cups of hot tea, smiling, and complained in a feigned anger: "Aren't you two practicing in the backyard? Why did you come here for no reason? I was worried that you were tired and thirsty, so I personally made a pot of hot tea and sent it to you, but I didn't expect it to take me a long time to look for it. Look, the tea is almost cold!" After that, she stuffed the two cups of tea into Pan Wu and Pan Chun's hands without saying anything.

Although it was just gossip, Liu Xunyi always felt that Ding Cui seemed a little too attentive at the moment. Based on his understanding of Pan Wu and his wife in the past two days, their relationship was definitely not as intimate as that of Pan Wen and his wife.

"What are you doing here?" Pan Wu's face suddenly turned serious when he saw Ding Cui, and he scolded her in a cold tone, "Didn't I warn you not to disturb us when we are practicing?"

"I..." Ding Cui frowned slightly, her face full of grievance, and she said resentfully, "If I'm not worried about you, can't I be worried about my son? You're practicing martial arts without caring about your life, but my son is tired and thirsty." Even at this point, she looked at Pan Chun with distressed eyes and asked with concern, "Chun'er, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"I want to spar with Young Master Liu, please leave!" Pan Wu urged impatiently, "Don't get in the way here!"

As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Pan Wu met, they started to confront each other. Liu Xunyi and the other two could only smile awkwardly and had nothing else to say.

"Let's go!" Ding Cui said angrily, "I'll leave after you finish drinking the tea."

“No…”

"Dad, it's mom's kindness after all, why don't you appreciate it?" Pan Chun was the first to drink up the hot tea in the cup. After drinking it, he gave Ding Cui a grateful smile.

However, when Pan Chun was drinking tea, Ding Cui inadvertently revealed a hint of hesitation, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, but in the end she didn't say much.

Pan Wu snorted coldly, quickly swallowed his tea, and urged: "Don't disturb us from practicing anymore, and leave quickly!" After that, he threw the teacup back to Ding Cui.

Surprisingly, Ding Cui was in a trance at the moment, and she had no idea that Pan Wu had thrown the teacup into her hand. Finally, with a "bang", the teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"what?"

Ding Cui subconsciously uttered a cry of surprise. Under Pan Wu's angry gaze, she hurriedly bent over to clean up the things. She accidentally got her finger pierced by the fragments and uttered another cry of pain.

Seeing this, Pan Chun hurriedly advised: "Mom, let the servants clean up! You..."

"Chun'er, accompany your mother back to apply medicine." Ding Cui threw down the fragments, grabbed Pan Chun's arm tightly with her backhand, and then, under Pan Wu's angry eyes, she dragged Pan Chun, who was full of surprise, away quickly.

"Mom, I still have to practice with Dad..."

"What kind of martial arts are you practicing? Isn't your father going to spar with Young Master Liu? Go back with mother to apply medicine first!"

The voices of Ding Cui and Pan Chun gradually faded away, but Liu Xunyi became more and more curious about Ding Cui's strange behavior. He looked at Ding Cui's back with suspicion, and only when Pan Wu called his name several times in a row did Liu Xunyi suddenly react.

"Young Master Liu, don't pay attention to them, let's just focus on the competition." Pan Wu bowed.

"Yes." Liu Xunyi answered absentmindedly, and then walked into the courtyard with Pan Wu.

"Xun Yi, use my knife."

General Lin Fang threw his sword to Liu Xunyi, who caught it with one hand and waved it a few times, quickly putting his doubts behind him. He stared at Pan Wu and said with a faint smile: "Second Master Pan, I have heard of Xuanshui's swordsmanship for a long time. Today I will be greatly enlightened." "We can also feast our eyes. Haha..." Luo Ningyu and Lin Fang stood on the steps and watched the battle, their eyes full of expectation.

"I have practiced the 72 Xuanshui styles for many years, but I have only mastered 49 styles. I am really ashamed." Pan Wu held the knife across his body and sighed, "I heard that Qin Ming has learned all the '36 Red Fire Styles' and has practiced them to the point of being as pure as fire. Compared with him, I am really stupid."

“Not everyone in the Hexi Qin family is Qin Ming. I have seen the swordsmanship of the three heroes of the Qin family with my own eyes. It should be derived from the Red Fire Swordsmanship. It seemed extremely powerful at first, but after a real fight, I slowly discovered that it was just so-so.” Liu Xunyi smiled confidently.

"I never thought that Young Master Liu would have such attainments in swordsmanship."

"You're too kind. I only know a little bit." Liu Xunyi said, and threw the blade to his side, saying seriously, "Please!"

"Be careful!"

With a loud shout, Pan Wu lightly stepped on the ground and rushed over, with the steel knife in his hand whistling, from top to bottom, as if he wanted to cut the void in half.

"Well done!" Liu Xunyi exclaimed. At the same time, he swung his right arm and held the blade across his head. With a loud "clang", Pan Wu's knife chopped heavily on Liu Xunyi's knife, with such force that Liu Xunyi was knocked back half a step.

"Young Master Liu, you are really capable to take my knife!" Pan Wu laughed loudly, and then the blade of the knife shifted, and the blade rubbed against the blade and cut out violently. The metal friction burst out a string of dazzling sparks and made a sharp and piercing sound, which made Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda cover their ears at the same time.

The two swords crossed and separated, and what followed was a crazy back and forth attack.

Pan Wu displayed his exquisite Xuanshui sword technique move after move. His sword moves were like the endless flow of the Yellow River, soft yet strong, ever-changing, endless, and with infinite power.

Liu Xunyi countered Pan Wu's moves and was also amazed by his swordsmanship. He was caught off guard several times and was in danger.

The two men fought, and Luo Ningyu and Lin Fang were frightened and terrified. They were all worried about Liu Xunyi who was gradually losing the upper hand.

The swords flashed back and forth, and Liu Xunyi saw that Pan Wu's eyes were shining with fighting spirit. At this moment, Pan Wu was very different from his usual dull and rigid appearance.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but think to himself: "Senior Pan is right. His second son is really a martial arts fanatic. He was so excited when fighting with others. He is completely different from usual."

"Good fight!"

In a short while, Pan Wu and Liu Xunyi had fought for more than seventy rounds. In the first twenty rounds, both sides were testing each other, so they were fighting each other. But after the twentieth round, until the seventieth round, Pan Wu was almost suppressing Liu Xunyi, and Liu Xunyi also survived several times with the exquisite Xuanshui swordsmanship.

But strangely, after the 70th round, Pan Wu seemed to be exhausted, his moves became slower and slower, and more and more chaotic. Unaware of the situation, Liu Xunyi took advantage of the situation and quickly counterattacked. In just a few rounds, Pan Wu was unable to hold on. Finally, he stumbled and was kicked to the ground by Liu Xunyi.

Liu Xunyi did not pursue, but quickly withdrew his attack and retreated, thus saving some face for Pan Wu.

"Young Master Liu, you have great kung fu. I admire you!" Pan Wu sat on the ground, sweating profusely and praising him breathlessly. "It's been a long time... a long time since I had such a good fight. Haha..."

"Mr. Pan's swordsmanship is exquisite and unparalleled. I almost lost my life." Liu Xunyi said with a wry smile.

“But I wonder if Young Master Liu can…can he see the flaws in Pan’s swordsmanship…” Pan Wu seemed extremely tired, even out of breath, and his face was slightly pale.

"The Xuanshui sword technique uses softness to overcome hardness. It may seem weak, but in fact it requires three times more strength than ordinary sword techniques to be properly controlled." Liu Xunyi pondered for a moment and said frankly, "Although Mr. Pan used the Xuanshui sword technique, his offensive force was a fierce and open-and-closed method, which may be inconsistent with the exquisiteness of the Xuanshui sword technique, or even... contrary to it."

"Young Master Liu's words...his words hit the nail on the head..." Pan Wu's breath became more and more rapid, and it became more and more difficult for him to speak, "My father also once said this...this evaluation..."

"Second Master Pan?" Liu Xunyi finally realized that Pan Wu was acting strangely. He frowned and quickly stepped forward to support the shaky Pan Wu. He asked with concern, "I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"

With the help of Liu Xunyi, Pan Wu slowly stood up. He panted and waved his hands with difficulty, saying with a smile: "No... it's me... I ran out of energy... poof!"

Before Pan Wu finished speaking, blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth. Looking at his face again, it was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

"what happened?"

Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda rushed forward, and the three of them worked together to hold Pan Wu. However, Pan Wu's eyes were dazed, his body was twitching violently, and blood was oozing out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Especially from his mouth, blood foam was spurting out in streams, and his appearance was very horrifying.

"What happened to Uncle Pan? He was fine just now?" Luo Ningyu asked hurriedly. The sudden change had already made her very confused.

Liu Xunyi acted quickly and sealed several of Pan Wu's vital points first. Then he carefully explored and subconsciously reached out to touch Pan Wu's neck.

It wouldn't matter if he didn't touch it, but once he touched it, Liu Xunyi's originally flustered and stunned face instantly turned as ugly as death.

"Mr. Pan...is dead..."
