Chapter 247 - 233: Cliffs Hundred Yards High; Thousand Bends over Lava Falls
Xie Lian blinked, "I wasn't planning on doing anything?"
"Then why did you pull the sword?" Hua Cheng demanded.
"To... defend myself?" Xie Lian replied.
Hua Cheng's expression was terrifyingly dark, and he squeezed harder, "How did you plan on defending yourself? Put your sword down!"
This was the first time Hua Cheng had ever talked to Xie Lian in this kind of expression and tone, and Xie Lian was completely taken aback. Feng Xin was alarmed, "Who are you to make him put down his sword? Let him go first!"
A battle axe came flying, and in one swift reaction, Xie Lian raised the sword and slashed it, sending it flying, "How did I plan on defending myself? ... Like this!"
Only then did Hua Cheng's demeanour and tone relax somewhat, but he still didn't let him go, "You don't need to defend yourself, just stand behind me. Put your sword down."
Feng Xin knocked into his bow on the ground with his foot, and he picked it up, gripping it with both hands, raising it to use as a sword, batting away a meteor hammer, all the while becoming more suspicious, "What are you doing clutching onto him like that? Are you really the real thing? Your Highness, is there anyone else besides you two who knows Crimson Rain Sought Flower's verbal password?"
It was through this reminder that Xie Lian suddenly remembered that it wasn't just the two of them who knew Hua Cheng's spiritual communication verbal password. There was a third person who had heard it before.
Jun Wu!
Back at the Palace of Xian Le, when he made Xie Lian connect with Hua Cheng in his presence, he had very clearly heard it!
