Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 201 Brilliant
The person who came was a girl dressed as a maid.

She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate eyebrows, hair combed into a double bun, and wearing a light yellow dress.

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

It's not because she's too strong to be defeated.

It's because in his perception, this girl is just a second-level monk, and theoretically it is impossible to be his opponent.

"Master Gu, I'm not here to challenge you." Seemingly noticing Gu Xu's puzzled expression, the girl dressed as a maid immediately opened her mouth to explain as soon as she stepped onto the ring, and at the same time made a gesture of admitting defeat, "It was my lady who asked me to bring you a sentence."

"Who is your lady?" Gu Xu asked.

"Zhao Yan from Youzhou."

When this name was mentioned, the little girl in a yellow dress raised her head involuntarily, showing a rather proud look.

Gu Xu was thoughtful.

Just this evening, Shangguan Jin just mentioned this name to him.

He knew that Zhao Yan was the daughter of Duke Yan, the sage of Da Qi, and that she had extremely high cultivation aptitude, no less than that of Chu Fengge and Jiange Su Xiao, and that she had superb marksmanship with one hand.

She spent several years in the army on the border of Daqi.No one knows what kind of state her current cultivation base is.

For someone like Zhao Yan, Gu Xu is not sure that he will win.

In addition, after repeated battles, Gu Xu has consumed a lot of real energy.If Zhao Yan chooses to challenge herself on stage at this time, she will probably win the title easily.

Unexpectedly, she just sent a maid to deliver the message.

But Gu Xu thought about it again: A powerful lady like Zhao Yan doesn't lack money or pills, and she doesn't need to rely on the Lantern Festival to become famous.With her legendary eccentric personality, it is not surprising to do anything.

Although according to the rules, idlers are not allowed to enter the ring.

But presumably the monks of the imperial guards hiding around were also afraid of the power of the Zhao family, so they acquiesced in such behavior.

"My lady recognized your strength," the servant girl continued to say calmly, "After you break through the fourth realm, she will come to challenge you."

Her tone sounded like she was reading an imperial decree, without asking for Gu Xu's opinion, nor giving him any chance to refuse.

After finishing speaking, she turned and left.

Once again, only Gu Xu was left alone in the ring.

Gu Xu stood firmly in place, looked at the girl's leaving back, shook her head with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The Zhao family's style of doing things is really domineering.

It has to be said that, in terms of how to conduct themselves in the world, these clans of the Great Qi Dynasty all have their own characteristics——

The Lu family are like straight-faced, handsome and open-minded literati, keen on Qushui Liushang and making friends with poetry.They will imitate their fairy ancestors, in order to seek the so-called "inspiration", or lean against the red and green in the brothel, or drink alone in front of the moon in the ice and snow.Talented and gifted people will be regarded as guests of honor by them; people without talent and talent will not exist in their sight at all.

The Chen family in Xiangyang is a typical family of officials and eunuchs, who grew up under the influence of classics and history books.They are always polite on the outside, they talk about "benevolence and righteousness", abide by "rules", respectful to their superiors, and approachable to their inferiors.But if you peel off their gentle, courteous and thrifty skin, you will find that they have the cold blood of a businessman and the ruthless soul of a politician.

As for the Zhao family, Gu Xu doesn't have much contact with them so far.

But from many rumors, it can be seen that they, as the only family backed by saints, are undoubtedly simpler and more informal than the other families.

Or to put it in more popular terms, it's very attractive.

…………

In the last less than 2 minutes, Gu Xu quietly stood on the ring watching the scenery, taking advantage of the lively festive atmosphere to continue digesting today's sentiments.

Audiences on both sides of the Luoshui River were also talking about it.

On the one hand, they were full of curiosity about Miss Zhao, who hadn't shown up in the capital for a long time; Afternoon—you know, before this, only Chu Fengge and Su Xiao had received such treatment.

Soon, amid the cheers of the audience, the clock struck midnight.

Gu Xu finally managed to stand at the end.

Almost everyone was chanting his name.

The young boys looked at him with admiration and envy, secretly determined to practice hard; the girls talked with their companions with smiles, and while discussing the romantic song "Sapphire Case", they asked about this Has the handsome and powerful Mr. Gu ever been married?

The elders look at their own children with eyes that hate iron and steel, why other people's children can not only win the championship at a young age, but also save tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture, while their own children are still trying to get out of the school. Skip class.

The words of the literati are basically sour - they hate the injustice of God, and even put their excellent spiritual aptitude and literary talent on the same person.

……

All in all, when Gu Xu made his public appearance for the first time, he became the focus of the entire Luojing City.

In the process of leaving the ring, he deliberately relaxed his mind, to experience the feeling of being looked up to by everyone.

There is joy from the heart, but also a little pride.

He already understood that in the process of climbing the "Homesick Ridge", every moment of joy, anger, sorrow and joy will become a boost to move forward.

Only by understanding the mundane can one transcend the mundane.

A monk from the Imperial Guard was already waiting silently under the stairs.

When Gu Xu approached him, he asked Gu Xu where he lived, and at the same time said: "Master Gu, the rewards for the Lantern Festival Challenge will be delivered to your residence within three days."

Gu Xu expressed his thanks with a smile, and at the same time told the other party that he was currently staying in the headquarters of the Exorcism Department.

He had to admit that hearing the word "reward" was the happiest moment for him tonight.

Then he turned around and walked straight towards where Shi Xiaohan, Shangguan Jin and Qi Yan were.

Crowds from all directions are rushing here.

They all wanted to get as close to Gu Xu as possible to see what this young genius who shocked the audience looked like.

However, at a distance of several feet away from Gu Xu, everyone stopped in unanimous agreement to give him a passage.

At the end of the passage, Shi Xiaohan was looking at him on tiptoe.

The pink skirt swayed in the wind, and the shiny metal hair accessories on her head jingled non-stop.

The clear almond eyes reflect the lanterns of the Lantern Festival, which looks like a gorgeous galaxy.

"Congratulations to Mr. Gu for winning the first place!" She tried her best to hide her smile, put on a serious posture, and bowed her hands to him.

"Thank you, Master Shi!" Gu Xu walked over with a smile, and couldn't help reaching out to touch her head for a while.

At this moment, the lost sighs of Luo Jing girls could be faintly heard from around.

PS: I'm sorry that due to recent physical and work reasons (mentioned in the previous chapter), the update has been slow, and everyone has been waiting for a long time.But certainly not the eunuch. Regular updates will resume at the end of October (November 10st at the latest)!
　Thanks to Liufeng Wushuang for the 500 reward!
