Chapter 38 The Secret of the Dharma Image
"She actually smiled at me?"

When Gu Mingchuan saw Wang Xining's abnormal behavior, he realized that she probably knew about his recovery.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have this attitude.

I still remember the time when he was possessed by that Yao'er and his cultivation power was completely lost, the look she gave him was one of pure contempt.

What is there to despise about this?
He just made a mistake that all men make.

boom--

At this moment, a loud earth-shaking noise was heard not far away.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the two masters on the river in the distance, and they finally decided the winner.

"Young Master wins!"

A thunderous cheer rang out from the Jiang family's big ship.

It seems that Jiang Yining won.

Gu Mingchuan stared at the lone and proud figure standing in mid-air above the river in the distance, surrounded by water mist. Just as the dark clouds dispersed, a beam of sunlight fell, shining on the water mist and reflecting a rainbow.

In such a scene, it really feels like a banished immortal.

"You're quite good at pretending."

He muttered to himself. Amid the cheers from the surrounding crowd, Jiang Yining's reputation reached its peak.

"Congratulations, Brother Jiang. Your brother's power has been established."

At this time, Wang Xining's voice reached my ears.

He seemed to be thinking about something. So, Jiang Yining challenged Li Yunshen just to build momentum?

"Hmph, what's so great about that? Compared to the four geniuses, you're not even worthy of carrying their shoes." A disdainful voice sounded.

In such an occasion, the only one who dared to speak like this was Xue Ruoyu.

The point is that her words are hard to refute.

At the same age, those four were already at the peak of the Shenzang Realm and were preparing to break through to the Faxiang Realm.

Seeing how she spoiled the fun, the Jiang family was angry but dared not say anything.

It was Wang Xining who spoke up again. "How many people in this world can stand shoulder to shoulder with these four? Sister Ruoyu, your ship is about to sink. Why don't you come to my side and let them take you ashore and apologize to you."

"Huh, who wants to take their boat? Let's go."

Xue Ruoyu and his men jumped up and flew to another boat nearby. They boarded their boat and went ashore, saying, "Sister Wang, when you are done, please come find me."

Wang Xining replied, "Okay, I will definitely go."

After she finished speaking, she saw Gu Mingchuan was about to leave, so she said, "Gu Mingchuan, I have something to talk to you about."

Gu Mingchuan?
When the people present heard this unfamiliar name, they were all curious and followed her gaze to look at a young man standing next to Shang Tiancheng.

He showed no intention of stopping and said, "Miss Wang, if you have anything to say, you can come over here and talk."

What a big rack!
Everyone was speculating about who this person was and why he was so arrogant. They asked Wang Xining, the daughter of the Marquis's mansion, to go find him.

You know, although the contemporary Weiyuan Hou is not on the Heavenly Ranking, he is also recognized as a peerless strong man at the top of the Heavenly Ranking.

It’s just that as a member of the imperial court, I don’t participate in the ranking of the Heavenly Ranking.

With a family background like hers, even Jiang Yihong, the eldest son of the Jiang family, had to be polite and not dare to show any disrespect to her.

"it is good."

Wang Xining did not hesitate, turned to Jiang Yihong and said, "Brother Jiang, I'll take my leave first."

Jiang Yihong frowned and asked, "Is he the person you came back to find this time?"

"Exactly."

After Wang Xining finished speaking, he bowed, and took his men into the air, landing on the ship several dozen feet away.

Jiang Yihong looked at her anxiously, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said to his men behind him, "Check who this Gu Mingchuan is."

"Yes."

……

Gu Mingchuan didn't mean to embarrass Wang Xining.

How does the saying go? If you are not determined to take sides, it is better not to take sides.

He is in the same boat with Shang Tiancheng and Xue Ruoyu. No matter who looks at him, he is considered to be on the Xue family's side.

If he ran to the Jiang family’s boat happily, what would Shang Tiancheng think of him?

If you want to survive in Jiangzhou, you always have to take sides.

Since Xue Ruoyu was so generous and gave him a sword servant in the Gangyuan realm, he naturally had to stand on the side of the Xue family without any hesitation.

Sure enough, Shang Tiancheng and Xue Ruoyu looked at him differently.

It was such an honor to be able to call Xue Ruoyu, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Weiyuan, from the Jiang family's boat to the Xue family's side.

It's like a distinguished guest visiting the Jiang family, but ran to the Xue family halfway. How can the Jiang family put their face?
Shang Tiancheng said excitedly, "You actually know Sister Xining?"

Gu Mingchuan said, "We have met several times."

Just met a few times?

Who believes it?
Anyway, Shang Tiancheng didn't believe it.

……

After Wang Xining arrived at the boat, he did not rush to talk to Gu Mingchuan, but instead started reminiscing about the past with Xue Ruoyu.

Gu Mingchuan watched the intimacy between the two from the side and thought to himself, this might be a socialite.
In Minglong Mansion, she and Guo Yi are like sisters.

In Jiangzhou City, he was chatting and laughing with the Jiang family. Now, at the Xue family, he was chatting with Xue Ruoyu's sister.

This is a very good communication skill. After a while, the boat came to the shore.

When getting off the boat, a maid passed by Gu Mingchuan and stuffed something into his hand. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he unfolded it and took a look.

It was a silk handkerchief with a line of beautiful words written on it, "Tonight at 5 p.m., I'll be waiting for you in the back alley of Xiaoyue Tower. I hope the army will come soon."

This is, asking me to have a private meeting?

Gu Mingchuan was shocked and touched his chin, "So, I am so charming? The Oiran couldn't forget me after seeing me once, and wanted to offer herself to me."

This is not like last time.

Miss Yaoer asked him out because he was the leader of Minglong.

In Jiangzhou City, he has no reputation and is not ranked in terms of strength. Miss Yuzi can still fall in love with him, what else can it be but charm?
……

After getting off the boat, Xue Ruoyu and Shang Tiancheng left first with their men.

In the end, only Wang Xining and her Xiangming followers, plus Gu Mingchuan, were left.

Wang Xining looked at him with some sarcasm, "Why, wasn't the lesson last time profound enough?"

When Gu Mingchuan heard her say this, he knew that she had seen the maid slipping the note to him.

He thought to himself, since he's paying so much attention to my every move, could he be secretly in love with me?
He said, "I wonder what Miss Wang wants to see me about?"

Wang Xining didn't rush to talk about the matter, and asked curiously, "How did you recover your cultivation? I received a letter from Xiaoyi saying that not only did your cultivation recover, but you also broke through to the Gangyuan realm. I still find it a little hard to believe..."

"If you want to ask about this, I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

She stared at him for a while and said, "If you don't want to talk, forget it. I'm looking for you this time for another matter. This is not the place to talk."

……

A dozen miles away, in a mountain villa.

The plum blossoms in the villa are in full bloom.

In a pavilion, Gu Mingchuan was drinking plum blossom honey and admiring the plum blossoms. Opposite him sat a beautiful lady in red. Beside him sat a beautiful maid lighting incense.

He sighed in his heart, rich people really know how to enjoy life.

Wang Xining finally got down to business, "I need you to get me a technique."

Gu Mingchuan smiled. "If you can't get that technique with your strength and status, how can I possibly do it?"

"I'm not as good as you in this matter."

He shook his head. "Forget it. I don't want to get into trouble."

"Not only will this matter not cause you any trouble, it will also be of great benefit."

"I never believe in good things falling from the sky."

"That Miss Yaoer..."

"..." Gu Mingchuan coughed lightly and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have always been tempted by beautiful women—"

Wang Xining's eyes were filled with more mockery. "What about that girl Yu Zi?"

His tone was very determined, "Anyway, I won't go."

"What good can you get from not asking?"

"No need."

After Gu Mingchuan finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.

Wang Xining said, "Aren't you curious why I want to learn the Mysterious Water Skill?"

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, she continued, "In fact, the technique I practice is part of a peerless divine technique. The Xuanshui True Technique you practice is another part."

"If I practice only one technique, I can only reach the peak of the Divine Hidden Realm in this lifetime due to the incompleteness of the technique. Only by completing the technique can I hope to break through to the Dharma Image Realm."

"That technique is extremely useful to both you and me. Helping me is helping yourself."

"Moreover, I can promise you that I will teach you my Changchun Kung Fu. Or, it should be called Xuanmu Zhengong Kung Fu."

At this time, Gu Mingchuan finally stopped.

He couldn't help but think of the "Xuanhuo Zhengong" he got from the two evil Liu family members, which was obviously from the same origin as the "Xuanshui Zhengong".

Could it be that this skill requires all five elements?
Which psychopath created this technique? He actually had to practice five techniques at the same time. He didn't even have enough discipline points.

Gu Mingchuan returned to his seat expressionlessly and said, "Tell me, how can we get that technique?"

Wang Xining knew that he had unusual ambitions, and said, "That technique is in the hands of a sword master who has reached the peak of the Divine Hidden Realm. He once said that he would pass on his skills to anyone who could master a sword technique within a day. Among them was the Xuanjin True Skill that he practiced."

Gu Mingchuan finally understood why she came to him.

This must be because of his talent in swordsmanship.

He suddenly felt certain in his heart. He didn't dare to say anything else, but when it came to learning martial arts and techniques, there was absolutely no one in the world who could compare to him.

The prerequisite is that there are enough discipline points.

Gu Mingchuan said, "I can promise you to take over this matter, but I want to receive part of the payment first."

Wang Xining took out a secret book from his arms, placed it in front of him, and said, "It's yours."

There were only four words written on the book: "Xuanmu Zhengong".

Gu Mingchuan took it and looked through it for a while. It turned out to be the same source as "Xuan Shui Zhengong" and "Xuan Huo Zhengong". He closed the secret book and asked her, "Where is the sword master? When are you going?"

Wang Xining said, "You can go anytime. He is in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division."

What the hell?

The Demon Suppression Prison?
You told me there's no danger?
