Chapter Twenty-Five: A Chance Encounter in the City Lord's Mansion

In the early morning of the next day, when Su Chen returned to the inn for breakfast, he heard that many people in the inn were discussing the matter of the heirs of the Wu family's sword mound.

The news of this heir of the Wu family's sword mound has already caused a stir in Star City, and basically everyone is spreading the praises of this matter.

Su Chen even heard what had happened in Drunken Moon Lake last night.

"Do you know, the heirs of the Wu family made an appointment to fight with someone in Zuiyue Lake last night, and the other party was killed by the heir of the Wu family with a sword. ”

When Su Chen heard these ridiculous rumors, he suddenly lost his thoughts.

It's a pity that it wasn't the heirs of the Wu family who were in Zuiyue Lake last night.

"Speaking of which, no one seems to have seen what that Wu family heir looks like. Someone said something next to him.

"Nonsense, that's the heir of the Wu family, can you let people see it casually! ”

"What chance?" the person on the side looked at him, excited about the temperature.

"Tomorrow night, there will be a dinner party in the City Lord's Mansion, and a son of a big family has been invited, it seems that the heirs of the Wu family will also come over, if you are interested, you can go to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to squat and see if the heirs of the Wu family will appear. The man said with a smile.

Su Chen didn't care about this matter anymore, and just as he was about to go back to the room, he saw two people coming down from the second floor, a man and a woman, dressed in the white shirt of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, and carrying a long sword on their backs.

His gaze fell on the girl.

This girl is none other than Ji Zhihe.

"Zhihe. Su Chen muttered in his mouth, unable to take his eyes off.

Ji Zhihe is now an inner disciple, white-clothed and snowy, with an extraordinary temperament.

At the beginning, Ji Zhihe and Su Chen set off from Qingshan City together and went to Tianyuan Sword Sect to learn swords.

The talents of the two are actually similar, but Su Chen had a love for Ji Zhihe at that time, so every time he distributed cultivation resources in the sect, he would give one-third to Ji Zhihe, and even sometimes he would give most, or even all, to Ji Zhihe of the rewards he received for doing sect tasks.

At the beginning, Su Chen felt that with his talent, he would definitely be able to catch up with Ji Zhihe in cultivation, but after a few months, he found that Ji Zhihe's cultivation speed had far surpassed his own, and he was no longer able to catch up.

Before he was expelled from the Tianyuan Sword Sect, when he learned that Ji Zhihe had successfully passed the inner disciple assessment and was about to enter the inner gate, he panicked and wanted to catch up, so he went to take over the task of cleaning the sword furnace, and as a result, the sword furnace was destroyed, and he carried the pot, his cultivation was completely ruined, and he was driven out of the Tianyuan Sword Sect.

I thought I would never see each other again in my life.

I didn't expect to meet in this inn in Star City.

Ji Zhihe, who was downstairs, noticed that there was a gaze staring at him, and when he turned his head, he saw Su Chen.

The two looked at each other.

Su Chen was stunned, hurriedly lowered his head and turned around, and left the inn.

Ji Zhihe frowned slightly, and said to the senior brother beside him, "Senior brother, I'll go out first." ”

"Sister Zhihe......"

Before the senior brother's words fell, Ji Zhihe had already left the inn.

The streets of Star City Tianlong District were full of people, Ji Zhihe glanced at the crowd, and found the familiar figure with a black sword on his back, and the aura under his feet was urging, bypassing the bustling crowd around him, and chased after him.

But after walking for a while, she found that she had lost it.

Standing on the crowded street, she frowned slightly: "Su Chen, why is he in Star City?"

"Senior Sister Zhihe. At this time, a white cloth chased after him and hurriedly shouted.

"Senior Brother Wang. The corners of Ji Zhihe's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile.

"Senior sister, what's your situation?" asked Senior Brother Wang.

"I saw an acquaintance just now, so I chased him out to take a look, but he walked fast and didn't catch up. Ji Zhihe said truthfully.

"Acquaintance, it's okay, anyway, we have to stay in Star City for a while, since we are acquaintances, we will definitely meet. Senior Brother Wang said, "Breakfast has been prepared, let's go eat." ”

"Hmm. ”

In a dark alley on the street.

Su Chen's gaze was always on Ji Zhihe's back, and she didn't withdraw her eyes until she disappeared into the crowd.

The Thunder Sword Soul asked, "Boy, what does that little girl just now have to do with you?"

Su Chen's mood was a little low at the moment, and he didn't want to answer much.

But the Thunder Sword Soul did not relent: "Is it another concubine?"

"......," Su Chen said helplessly, "A girl I liked when I was in the Tianyuan Sword Sect, but that's all in the past." ”

Su Chen didn't give the Thunder Sword Soul a chance to gossip, and directly told all the things and relationships between himself and Ji Zhihe.

After hearing this, the Thunder Sword Soul didn't react, but said: "You are really stupid enough, the woman just now probably didn't like you from the beginning, and she was using you from the beginning, I can't see this, isn't it stupid." ”

Su Chen didn't bother to refute, whether it was stupid or stupid, these things had already passed, and there was no longer any relationship between himself and Ji Zhihe.

She is now an inner disciple of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, and she is just a dying person.

After a detour back to the inn and a long rest, he left again and came to the uninhabited clearing before, where he practiced his sword quietly.

......

Two days passed quietly.

The next evening, as the sun set, Su Chen stood in the open space where he practiced his sword, his eyes reflecting the sunset in the west, and he muttered: "It's almost time to go." ”

When he walked out of the clearing, he looked at the bustling street and was stunned: "By the way, where is the City Lord's Mansion?"

After inquiring on the way, and after learning the location of the City Lord's Mansion, he hurried there.

Because the City Lord's Mansion is still a bit far away, after all, the City Lord's Mansion is not in the Tianlong District of Star City.

Half an hour later, it was completely dark.

Su Chen came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

There were quite a few people around who were walking towards the City Lord's Mansion, most of them young people.

On the way, he also heard some familiar remarks.

It is a remark about the descendants of the Wu family's sword mound.

"It is said that the heir of the Wu family will definitely return, and it is also the news revealed by the son of a Shinto family. ”

"That's really a blessing, maybe I can exchange kendo with the heirs of the Wu family at that time. ”

"You have it, you also exchange kendo, you practice swordsmanship and communicate kendo, do people take care of you!"

"Hahaha, interesting. ”

“......”

Su Chen was a little curious, the news of the Wu family's sword mound heirs had been circulating in Star City for several days, and he didn't care about it, but at this moment, he was interested in what they said.

"I really want to see what kind of person the heir of the Wu family's sword mound is. ”

Entering the City Lord's Mansion without hindrance, he was just about to go to the lobby when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Su Chen?"

Su Chen turned around and saw Ji Zhihe, who was dressed in white, absolutely beautiful and cold.
