As the master outside the meditation room got closer and closer, the wooden Taoist also turned his head and looked out.

His skill was not inferior to Zhao Qing, but he was much weaker in terms of sword intent, and he didn't immediately sense the approaching sword intent.

Hua Manlou often said that today, there are only four or five people at most who can not make any sound at all when they act, and Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, is one of them.

However, this has to be in the case of deliberately covering up his whereabouts. Traveling on weekdays, Ye Gucheng will not completely eliminate his footsteps.

……

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

His face was white, neither pale nor miserable, but a white jade-like sparkling color.

His eyes weren't pitch black, but they were terrifyingly bright, like two cold stars. He wore a crown of beads on a sandalwood seat in his dark hair, and his clothes were as white as snow.

He walked very slowly, and when he walked in, it was like a king entering his court, and like a flying immortal in the sky, descending to the earth.

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

Zhao Qing, Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Xingxing and others all saw this person for the first time, but they had already guessed who this person was!

White Cloud City Lord Ye Lonely City!

The glint in the eyes of the wooden road man flashed.

Just four months ago, Mu Daoren took Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortal Outside the Sky, and was defeated in one move while hiding his strength.

Although at the last moment, Ye Gucheng collected some strength and did not hurt the Mudao people, but the oncoming sword qi that was cold to the bone marrow reminded him all the time:

Hide your strength and compete with Ye Gucheng's even stronger masters, at a critical moment, once the other party has killing intent, even if he immediately exerts his full strength, it will be difficult to escape with his life.

has dirt in his heart, and he doesn't dare to put his life and death in the hands of others, which is why Mudao people refuse to learn from Zhao Qing. Otherwise, he is also very willing to test the strength of others.

Gu Song's heart was in a panic, and he was still very afraid of being retaliated against by someone like Ye Gucheng when he was talking about it behind his back.

At this moment, Ye Gucheng's gaze had also fallen on him and Monk Honsong.

He said, "Mudao people, you are here too." ”

Mu Dao was a little confused, and said, "I'm here too." ”

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

Zhao Qing suddenly saw his eyes clearly, it was a profound loneliness, it should have been like a lonely city and cold snow standing on top of ten thousand icebergs, but it was gradually dissolved.

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains.

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

However, now, Ye Gucheng has finally found an opponent, an opponent who suddenly appeared but outperformed himself.

He was engrossed, looking at the girl in front of him, sensing the sword intent around her body, very turbulent, not very sharp, but terrifyingly pure, clear and ethereal, deep.

Zhao Qing also looked to the opposite side.

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

"Ye Gucheng?" Zhao Qing spoke.

A longsword with a very ancient form of black sheath had fallen into her eyes. Although the sword was not unsheathed, the sword aura had already diffused, and it stopped three feet in front of her.

This kind of ability to control sword qi is undoubtedly a step higher than Dugu Yihe and Ximen Blowing Snow, or even more.

Ye Gucheng nodded and asked, "Zhao Qing?" ”

Zhao Qing also nodded.

Ye Gucheng's indifferent face already showed excitement, and he looked at Zhao Qing and said word by word: "Dugu Yihe, Ximen Blowing Snow, are they defeated by your sword?" ”

Zhao Qing's gaze turned back, and he said calmly: "They were indeed defeated by my sword. ”

Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "Then your swordsmanship must be above me!" ”

Zhao Qing's eyes seemed to have a crystal luster, and he also showed a smile.

The reputation of Ye Gucheng on the rivers and lakes is much better than that of Ximen Blowing Snow, not only because he became famous earlier and has higher martial arts, but also because although he practiced the sword of killing, there were not many people killed.

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

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

Although no one could say whether this was a disguise or not, Zhao Qing's attitude towards him was much better because of this.

Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and others couldn't help but smile, they were not people who liked to fight and kill, and the current atmosphere did not develop in the direction of the two sides, which naturally made them feel comfortable.

……

"The White Cloud City Lord is also here."

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

Ye Gucheng glanced at him with cold star-like eyes, and then turned his gaze back.

This time it was Jin Jiuling who came in.

Jin Jiuling's clothes are very delicate and luxurious, his appearance is also very exquisite, and he is also very well maintained. I have to admit that this is a very attractive man.

It's just a pity that where Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, is there, he doesn't seem to have the ability to attract everyone's attention.

Except for his senior brother Master Bitter Melon and Lu Xiaofeng, who likes to explore eucalyptus, what others are more concerned about is the swordsmanship competition that the two of them are about to have just now.

However, Jin Jiuling used his words to attract everyone's attention.

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

"Where did he embroider this?" Lu Xiaofeng was curious in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

Jin Jiuling said: "This is what he embroidered in the palace treasury." ”

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

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

……

When Jin Jiuling and Lu Xiaofeng were chatting, 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 person who doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, and he doesn't even drink tea. His only drink was pure white water.

In this respect, he is very similar to Simon Blowing Snow, just as they both like to wear snow-white clothes and practice murderous swordsmanship.

Zhao Qing sat down, still picking up vegetables. The potsticker tofu dipped in sauce tastes quite good.

Just when others were listening to what Jin Jiuling said, Ye Gucheng suddenly looked at her and said solemnly:

"On the fifteenth day of next month, the night of the full moon, the top of the purple gold, I will challenge you."

Everyone on the field was shaken by his words.

Didn't Ye Gucheng admit that he was inferior to Zhao Qing, why did he still challenge? Do you want to fight the strong with the weak and break through yourself?

Jin Jiuling couldn't help but stop talking and looked at Ye Gucheng.

After Jiang Chongwei became blind, he soon became the head of the Pingnan Palace. But Ye Gucheng, as the teacher of the prince of Pingnan, has a status above him, and he can be regarded as half a superior.

When the other party wants to issue a challenge, it is most likely not a temporary decision, but a matter that has been discussed with the royal government.

This unexpected situation, but I didn't hear about it in advance, does it mean that the Pingnan Royal Mansion doesn't value itself so much?

Mu Daoren's gaze narrowed, and he suddenly understood the meaning of what Ye Gucheng asked him before. The other party wants to let himself, a "highly respected" senior, witness today's covenant battle.

However, uncontrolled masters like Ye Gucheng and Zhao Qing are quite in line with their expectations when they fight each other.

……

The meditation room was silent.

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

Sighing softly, Zhao Qing shook his head.

Her originally calm gaze was as deep as a valley at this moment, as if it had been reflected in the depths of Ye Gucheng's eyes.

"If you want to learn swordsmanship with me, why wait until next month? It's nice to be here and now. ”
