The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 111 City Lord Baiyun
As the masters outside the meditation room got closer, Taoist Mu also turned his head and looked outside.

His skill is not inferior to Zhao Qing, but his sword intent is much weaker, and he didn't immediately sense the approaching sword intent.

Huamanlou often said that in today's world, there are at most four or five people who can act without making any sound at all, and Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, is one of them.

However, this had to be under the circumstances of deliberately covering up his whereabouts.When traveling on weekdays, Ye Gucheng will not completely silence the sound of his footsteps.

……

The bamboo curtain opened without wind, and a person walked in slowly.

His face was very white, neither pale nor pale, but a lustrous and lustrous color like white jade.

His eyes were not pitch black, but they were terribly bright, like two cold stars.On his jet-black hair, he wore a crown of sandalwood beads, and his clothes were as white as snow.

He walked very slowly, and when he walked in, it was like a king walking into his court, or like a flying fairy from the sky, descending to the world.

The eyes of everyone in the field were focused on him at this moment.

Zhao Qing, Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zaixing and others saw this person for the first time, but they already guessed who this person was!
Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng!
The light in Mu Taoist's eyes flashed away.

Just four months ago, Mu Taoist took over Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortal from Heaven, and was defeated by one move while hiding his strength.

Although at the last moment, Ye Gucheng withdrew some strength and did not hurt Mu Taoist, but the oncoming sword qi, cold to the marrow, reminded him all the time:
Hidden strength and Ye Gucheng or even stronger masters compete, at a critical moment, once the opponent has the intention to kill, even if he exerts all his strength immediately, it is difficult to escape his life.

There is dirt in his heart, and he dare not put his own life and death in the hands of others. This is the reason why Taoist Mu refused to discuss with Zhao Qing.Otherwise, he is also very willing to test the strength of others.

Layman Gusong was in a state of panic, talking behind his back that a master like Ye Gucheng was caught by the opponent, and he was still afraid of being retaliated at will.

At this moment, Ye Gucheng's eyes have also fallen on him and Gusong Layman.

He said lightly: "Taoist Mu, you are here too."

Taoist Mu was a little confused, so he said, "I'm here too."

But Ye Gucheng didn't look at him again, his star-like eyes were staring at Zhao Qing's figure, and slowly opened.

Zhao Qing suddenly saw his eyes clearly, it was a profound loneliness, which should have been like the isolated city and the cold snow standing on the ice mountain, but it was gradually resolved.

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lone city Wanrenshan.

Every person who practices martial arts will feel very lonely when he reaches the peak of martial arts, because at that time, it will be difficult for him to find a real opponent.

But now, Ye Gucheng finally found an opponent, an opponent who appeared suddenly but surpassed him.

With all his attention, he looked at the girl in front of him, feeling the sword intent lingering around her, which was very light and not very sharp, but terrifyingly pure, ethereal and deep in the distance.

Zhao Qing also looked towards the opposite side.

She has already discovered that Ye Gucheng has a deeper sword intent and stronger skill than she originally imagined.Could it be that he found the way forward from his record, and thus improved a little?
"Ye Gucheng?" Zhao Qing asked.

A long sword with a black scabbard in an extremely quaint form has fallen into her eyes.Although the sword hadn't been drawn from its sheath, the sword energy had diffused and stopped three feet in front of her.

This ability to control the sword energy is undoubtedly better than Dugu Yihe and Ximen Chuuxue, or even more.

Ye Gucheng nodded and asked, "Zhao Qing?"

Zhao Qing also nodded.

Ye Gucheng's indifferent face showed excitement, he looked at Zhao Qing and said word by word: "Dugu Yihe, Ximen Chuuxue, have you been defeated by your sword?"

Zhao Qing turned his eyes back and said calmly: "They were indeed defeated by my sword."

Ye Gucheng smiled and said: "Then your swordsmanship must be superior to mine!"

There seemed to be crystal light flowing in Zhao Qing's eyes, and he also showed a smile.

The reputation of Ye Gucheng in Jianghu is much better than that of Ximen Chuixue, not only because he became famous earlier and his martial arts are higher, nor is it because although he practiced a murderous sword, he did not kill many people.

The most important reason may be because Ye Gucheng sometimes smiles at people, instead of being expressionless like Ximen Chuuxue.

The smile of a peerless swordsman, the kind of peace and respect towards the low hand will undoubtedly bring a lot of goodwill and respect.

Although no one can tell whether this is a disguise, Zhao Qing's attitude towards him has improved a lot because of this.

Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and the others couldn't help but smile. They are not people who like to fight and kill. The current atmosphere has not developed in the direction of the two sides fighting each other, which naturally makes them feel comfortable.

……

"The Lord of Baiyun is also here."

With a soft sound, the bamboo curtain of the meditation room was lifted open again.

Ye Gucheng glanced at him with starry eyes, then turned his gaze back.

This time it was Jin Jiuling who came in.

Jin Jiuling's clothes are exquisite and luxurious, and his appearance is also exquisite and well maintained.It has to be admitted that this is a very attractive man.

It's just a pity that with Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, there seems to be no way for him to attract everyone's attention.

Apart from his senior brother Bitter Gourd Master and Lu Xiaofeng who likes to investigate cases, others are more concerned about the swordsmanship contest that the two of them are about to have just now.

However, Jin Jiuling attracted everyone's attention with his words.

He shook a piece of bright red satin embroidered with a black peony in his hand, and said, "I just got the needlework left by the embroiderer thief."

"Where did he embroider this?" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Jin Jiuling said: "He embroidered this in the treasure house of the palace."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is he really embroidering there?"

Jin Jiuling nodded again, and said, "When Jiang Chongwei opened the door and entered, he was embroidering this flower inside!"

……

While Jin Jiuling was chatting with Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Gucheng didn't do anything else, just poured a glass of warm water and drank it quietly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Ye Gucheng is a teetotaler, not even drinking tea.His only drink is pure white water.

In this regard, he is very similar to Ximen Chuuxue, just as they both like to wear snow-white clothes, and they both practice murderous swordsmanship.

Zhao Qing sat down, still serving food.Potstickers tofu dipped in sauce tastes pretty good.

While others were fascinated by what Jin Jiuling said about the case, Ye Gucheng suddenly looked at her and said solemnly:
"On the fifteenth day of next month, on the night of the full moon, on the top of the purple gold, I will challenge you."

Everyone on the field was shocked by his words.

Didn't Ye Gucheng admit that he is not as good as Zhao Qing, why is he still challenging?Could it be that he wants to fight the strong with the weak and break through himself?
Jin Jiuling couldn't help but stop talking, and looked towards Ye Gucheng.

After Jiang Chongwei went blind, he soon became the chief of Pingnan Palace.But Ye Gucheng, as the teacher of Prince Pingnan's son, has a higher status than him, and he can be regarded as half a superior.

When the other party wants to issue a challenge, it is probably not a temporary decision, but a matter after discussing with the palace.

I didn't hear about this unexpected situation in advance. Does it mean that the Pingnan Palace doesn't value me so much?

Taoist Mu's gaze lightened, and he suddenly understood the meaning of what Ye Gucheng asked him before.The other party wanted his "highly respected" senior to witness today's engagement.

However, uncontrolled masters like Ye Gucheng and Zhao Qing fought each other, which was quite in line with my expectations.

……

The Zen room was silent.

Everyone looked at Zhao Qing, wondering if she would agree.

Sighing slightly, Zhao Qing shook his head.

Her originally calm gaze was now as deep as a valley, as if reflected in the depths of Ye Gucheng's eyes.

"If you want to learn swordsmanship with me, why wait until next month? Right here and now is very good."
