Chapter Forty-Eight: Talking at the Peak
The birthday party that night ended in laughter. Mobile
Even the "King Li Yin" mentioned by everyone in the middle, after everyone's exclamation, was quickly put in their hearts and stopped mentioning it.
After all, the powerhouses of that level have exceeded their cognition too much, so everyone can only respect and fear this legendary "King Li Yin", and dare not say much.
And although Tian Qiu has been trying to make Li Chen leave a good impression, how could Li Chen fall in love with such a mortal woman, so when he left the scene later, he just declined lightly and went back by himself.
The next day, after Li Chen returned from his cultivation in the Sword Pool, he found several strangers waiting for him on the path of Shuijing Peak.
These people have cultivated to be successful enough to become the hall masters of any peak of the sect, but they are not as arrogant as other hall masters, but they are extremely organized and neatly arrayed, surrounding Li Chen who is coming towards them in the middle.
Since the person who came was not good, Li Chen didn't plan to give them a good face, and was about to shoot them at will, but he heard the leader of the man speak: "Mr. Li, the peak master of Qingyue Peak invites you to go and talk to each other." ”
"Qingyue Peak Lord, Gu Huaiying?" Li Chen frowned slightly, and secretly said What is this person looking for him.
Therefore, Li Chen felt a little curious, so he nodded to everyone, and then went indifferently in the formation of half surrounded and half sent off.
After walking for a short time, Li Chen came to Qingyue Peak, where he had come last night, and was taken to the summit of Qingyue Peak.
There was already a man standing proudly on the top of the peak, looking at the many dangerous peaks of the Spirit Sword Mountain Range, it was Gu Yan'er's father, Gu Huaiying.
After the many swordsmen successfully "invited" Li Chen, they were very disciplined on both sides of Gu Huaiying, faintly using Gu Huaiying as a mysterious formation to suppress Li Chen in it.
Li Chen didn't bother to pay attention to the posture of these people, in his opinion, even if he stood and let these sword masters attack, he would not be hurt in the slightest, not to mention that if they really wanted to attack, how could he sit still and wait to die?
"Lord Gu Feng led me here, I don't know what advice I have?" Li Chen stood proudly like a pine and asked calmly.
Gu Huaiying turned his head to look at Li Chen, his expression was domineering, and the posture of the superior who had been in a high position for a long time was undoubtedly displayed.
Then he nodded to Li Chen and asked indifferently, "What can you see from the top of my Qingyue Peak?"
Li Chen didn't need to look at it to already know that this peak was extremely high, and there were already clouds and mist, and the surrounding area was naturally the peak of the other peaks of the sect that were also shrouded in mist.
So Li Chen replied calmly: "It was I who sent Zhufeng to the peak." ”
"The peaks are so steep and majestic, you and I are in them, no matter how we cultivate, we can only be as small as a small ant. Gu Huaiying's eyes narrowed, and he said meaningfully, "However, even if I send Zhufeng, looking at the entire Spirit Sword Mountain Range, it only occupies a part of its northern part, not to mention that I have many famous mountain peaks such as Wei Wei Kunlun and the Heavenly Mountains in my Great Zhou, compared to them, my Zhufeng can only be regarded as a small hill." ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Chen without hesitation, and said indifferently: "This principle is the same for you, no matter how conspicuous you are among the many outer disciples of Shuijing Peak, but if you look at the entire sect, or look at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty's sword cultivation sect, you can only be a small ant drowning in the sea of people." ”
Li Chen shook his head and smiled: "Lord Gu Feng doesn't have to say these fictitious things, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
"I think you know what I mean. Gu Huaiying stared at Li Chen with both eyes, and said proudly, "You seem to be too close to Yan'er recently, I hope you can keep your distance from her, you are not good enough to marry my daughter." ”
The Sword Cultivation Continent is respected by Sword Cultivation, and the Northern Spirit Sword Sect, as the big faction of Nanling County, has a very high status in the eyes of the secular people in Nanling County, and Gu Huaiying, as the strongest person in the sect except for the head of the sect, his daughter is naturally regarded as a princess-like existence in the eyes of the world.
Li Chen remembered Gu Huaiying's attitude towards Bai Wuxian last night, so he asked lightly: "That Bai Wuxian is just a swordsman, what can he do if he looks at the entire sect, not to mention the big sects you mentioned, is he considered to be excellent?"
"Even if Bai Wuxian really wants to marry my daughter, his background alone is not enough. Gu Huaiying sneered disdainfully, "Even if his father is promoted to the sword spirit, it is just a sword spirit entry, and it is far from me, what I fancy is his potential to be favored by the Great Zhou military department." If he can become a lieutenant or lieutenant general in the Great Zhou Military Department before the age of twenty, then he is qualified to marry my daughter, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. ”
After speaking, he stared at Li Chen with his eyes and said calmly: "I know that you don't look down on Bai Wuxi, or even on your peers in the outer sect of the entire sect. ”
"Because your mother is a member of the Yun family in Nanzhou Prefecture, she is a powerful family in the secular world of my Nanling County, and your father is a member of the legendary Li family in my Great Zhou capital, even if you look at the entire Great Zhou, it is one of the few existences. ”
"Compared to your background and family background, Bai Wuji's background is indeed insignificant. Moreover, you also defeated more than a dozen swordsmen in the Water Mirror Peak Gong Dharma Pavilion with the power of one person, and rescued Yan'er from Zhou Chenglong's men. ”
Li Chen's face was slightly cold, he opened his eyes and stared at Gu Huaiying and said, "You touch my bottom line?"
Gu Huaiying laughed loudly, turned around again to look at the tops of several mountains in the distance, and said proudly: "Yan'er, I am my own flesh and blood, and I naturally want to find out the details of the men who are close to her." ”
"Your strength is indeed top-notch among your peers, and your family background is far beyond the average sense of wealth, and the relationship between the granddaughter of the head of the family is in it, in a sense, you are indeed a match for the former Yan'er. ”
"However, all of this disappeared after last night's meeting. Gu Huaiying opened her eyes and said proudly, "You are already an abandoned son of the Li family, and you are still so blind and conceited, there is no one in your eyes, and Yan'er's identity as my Gu Huaiying's daughter has been exposed." ”
"You want to marry her, it's not qualified enough!"
In the last sentence, Gu Huaiying was already staring straight into Li Chen's eyes, and the momentum of the top powerhouse was all revealed.
"Then what kind of qualifications are enough?" Li Chen completely ignored Gu Huaiying's arrogance and asked curiously.
"If you look at your family background, at least you must have a powerful general in your family who is on the side of my Great Zhou Fenghou to deter. Gu Huaiying sneered, "If you are judged by personal strength, then you must also have at least the true talent to enter the sword spirit before the age of thirty, or become the imperial captain of my Great Zhou Military Department within a few years of joining the army, or gain fame in the examination, and be personally given by the Great Zhou Emperor to be from the Jinshi and above." ”
"All of the above are qualified to marry my daughter, but unfortunately you last night and now have not been able to show me that you have the potential in these aspects. Gu Huaiying shook her head and sneered without hesitation.
"You are so arrogant to your peers and elders, and you don't know what reverence and order are. This way of behaving and doing things, whether it is in the Great Zhou Military Department or on the guan field, is difficult to achieve. ”
"If you put yourself in the perspective of my Gu Huaiying, a father, you should understand that such a person can't let my daughter enjoy the happiness she should have. ”
Finally speaking, Gu Huaiying let out a sigh of relief, and resumed his posture of looking at the peaks again, no longer wanting to look at Li Chen.
Li Chen only felt angry and funny at the moment, so he said directly: "Master Gu Feng, you are just afraid that it is just your own preconceived assumptions. ”
"I never intended to marry Sister Gu, and I did as you said, with no one in my eyes and no one else at all. And I'm only like that because everyone else is weak. Could it be that the eagles flying in the sky still care if the ants on the ground have found a few more pieces of carrion?"
Li Chen calmly said his opinion, as if he was talking about eating and drinking.
"Everyone else is weak, just by virtue of your strength to defeat the sword master, just by virtue of your identity as an abandoned son of the Li family?" Gu Huaiying looked back with disdain and sneered.
What he said before was actually to kill Li Chen's arrogance, and then attract him to Qingyue Peak to cultivate him personally, and when Li Chen really became a sword spirit powerhouse, let Li Chen inherit the position of the peak master.
At that time, Gu Huaiying will be able to really rest assured that Gu Yan'er will marry Li Chen.
However, Gu Huaiying couldn't have imagined that Li Chen was even more arrogant than he expected.
"With my position as the peak master of Qingyue Peak, even in the entire Nanling County, I can be regarded as equal to the Taishou of Yizhou. With my sword spirit cultivation, I can press ten of you into the soil with just one finger. Gu Huaiying frowned slightly, and said with disappointment in her eyes, "How can a young man like you imagine these things, even if you are at the top of your peers, you can be exposed to these levels?"
After saying it again, Gu Huaiying was already a little annoyed.
He had already given Li Chen enough face, and did not directly use the strength of the sword spirit to convince him, but reasoned with him, but did not expect that Li Chen actually did not listen to it at all, and emphasized his insignificant strength.
If you really have the strength, why do you want Ouyang Lan to stand up for you for that little thing at the cocktail party that day?
Li Chen didn't care what Gu Huaiying thought at all, he just shook his head and smiled: "Lord Gu Feng, what you said about whether it is secular status or sword cultivation strength, in my opinion, it is just a trivial matter at the snap of a finger." ”
"Small things?" Gu Huaiying was already extremely disappointed, "Li Chen, everyone will be young and frivolous, even when I was young, I also hoped that I could have the strength to despise the world, but the fact is that even if I am good enough in my generation, now I have only reached the sword spirit mastery, and I am destined to be hopeless to become the sword king in this life, in this world, if you want to become a strong person, you can only act according to the rules of the world." ”
"If you don't follow the accepted rules, you'll be relegated to the corner of the world. That's it, that's all, you better go, and when you really understand what I said, you can come to Qingyue Peak to find me again. ”
After that, Gu Huaiying didn't have the heart to look at the surrounding peaks anymore, and led the group of swordsmen down the mountain successfully.
The swordsmen who followed back were no longer as solemn as when they came, and they couldn't help but shake their heads again and again when they saw that the awe-inspiring peak master was so kind to this young man, and this young man was still so unreasonable.
"Young man, do you know what you gave up just now? You gave up the opportunity for the Qingyue Peak Lord to cultivate it personally, and you gave up a shortcut to go straight to the core and top of the sect. ”
An older swordsman shook his head and sighed.
Li Chen said calmly: "Yan Que An knows the ambition of the bird, no matter how difficult you think the opportunity for this peak master to cultivate himself is, in my opinion, it is just a trivial matter. ”
"I don't know what's wrong!" The sword master had already given up, sneered disdainfully, and left directly.
After everyone really walked away, Li Chen shook his head helplessly, and turned his eyes to look at the surrounding peaks.
"Even if you really think that the Sect Peaks are insignificant in the entire Great Zhou. ”
"However, who of you can know that even this Great Zhou, or even the entire Sword Cultivation Continent, is only so small after all. ”
Immortal Venerable also exclaimed at this moment: "Good boy, you finally have some insight from a true immortal cultivator, you must know that looking at the entire extraterritorial world, the hundreds of millions of stars outside, this so-called sword cultivation continent, I am afraid that it is not even a grain of sand." ”
......
After the old swordsman went back that year, Gu Huaiying asked calmly, "That person has signs of loosening." ”
"Peak Master, this person is hopeless, and he is wasting his thoughts on him. The old swordsman sneered.
Gu Huaiying also shook his head and sighed: "That's it, it's really just Benfeng's wishful thinking, if he himself wants to be willing to ignore everyone, I can't save him, even if Yan'er mentions these things in the future, I can be regarded as having a clear conscience." ”
Then, Gu Huaiying frowned and asked calmly: "I heard that Ruhaifeng went to invite a strong foreign aid in order to win the first place in this Zhufeng Qualifying Competition?"
"That's right, Peak Master, according to what we learned at the bottom of Ruhai Peak, since Leng Ruhai invited a strong man to enter the peak, he has been very admiring and carefully worshipped, and often claims that at this moment, he will definitely make Ruhai Peak the first peak of the sect and overwhelm the rest of the sect. "One person present reported.
"Hmph, Leng Ruhai, what kind of thing is he, he dares to become the first peak?" Gu Huaiying sneered disdainfully, "Even if there are two of him, he is not the opponent of this peak!"
