Chapter 63 Grandmaster Arrives
"Erlang, come and drink this. This is a stew made from a hundred-year-old blood ginseng and cloud-top snow clam that the clan leader sent over."
At lunch, Su Lingshuang asked someone to bring a bowl of red soup to Gu Mingchuan.
This is a bit too much.
Gu Mingchuan thought about it, then picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he had drunk, Su Lingshuang said, "You haven't been out much these days. You practice martial arts at home every day. Aren't you bored? You should go out and make more friends..."
"it is good."
Gu Mingchuan knew that she was beginning to worry about him becoming a monk again and going to the back mountains to practice asceticism. He responded with a smile, "The weather has been nice these few days, so it's a good time for an outing. Why don't we go out of town for a few days, climb some mountains, and go hunting."
Su Lingshuang was a little moved. It was already spring, and although the weather was still a little cold, it was rare for him to be so interested, so she said, "Okay."
"Qingzhu, Qingcha, have someone prepare and we'll set off this afternoon."
"Going in the afternoon? That's too hasty."
"In life, there is always a journey that you can take at any time."
"?"
……
In the afternoon, two carriages drove out of Minglong City, and the news was immediately passed to the top leaders of several forces.
Today, Gu Mingchuan’s reputation is even greater than Zheng Xianlong’s. His record of fighting one against three and killing three people of the ninth level of Gangyuan is too incredible.
Zheng Xianlong had never had such a record before.
Naturally, his every move attracted much attention.
Especially for the Jiang family and the Qinglong Gang, many people breathed a sigh of relief that this evil star had left the city.
During this period, many people couldn't even sleep well, fearing that Gu Mingchuan would come to their door in the middle of the night and kill them.
……
After nightfall.
Above Minglong City, two figures flew in the air and into the city.
The two men grabbed a passerby and asked him to lead the way to Gu Mingchuan's residence.
Soon, we arrived at the place.
"No one is here."
Wu Chengzhou sensed that there were only a few servants with low cultivation in the mansion, so he said to Li Shang, "Go ask."
"Yes."
Li Shang quickly found out, "They left the city this afternoon and said they were going to Minglong Mountain for an outing."
"Chase."
After they cleaned up their mess, they left.
As soon as the two of them left, a black shadow left at an extremely fast speed from a house next door. It was actually a Gangyuan realm warrior.
This person went all the way back to the prefect's mansion and went straight to the backyard to ask to see the prefect.
In the room, the voice of the governor He Yun came, "What's the matter?"
The man reported, "Sir, two masters were spying outside Gu Mingchuan's house just now, and they killed a passerby and several servants of the Gu family. I'm afraid this is not a good move."
The door creaked open.
Guo Yun looked gloomy, "Where are they now?"
"He has already left. I dare not follow him, so I will come back to report to you immediately."
"You did the right thing."
Guo Yun felt it was an extremely difficult situation.
Last time, he found out that someone in Gu Mingchuan's family had practiced the Nine-Turn Bright Phoenix Technique, so he became cautious and quickly arranged for a capable subordinate to live in the house next door to Gu's family, thinking that if anything happened, he would be able to know it at the first time.
Unexpectedly, something big happened.
Two masters arrived outside the Gu family in the middle of the night and killed the servants of the Gu family. I'm afraid they came for that person.
If something happens to that person, the consequences will be disastrous. For example, he will be transferred back to the capital, and dismissal from his post will be the lightest punishment.
This is simply a sudden disaster.
Who could have thought that such a noble lady would appear in Minglong City, a remote place like this.
Guo Yun made a quick decision, "Take my seal immediately and rush to Jiangzhou overnight to ask for help from the Demon Suppression Division."
"Yes."
The man took the things and left.
Guo Yun came to the backyard, in front of a remote courtyard, and said, "Mr. Gong, I'm afraid you will have to do it yourself this time."
With a creak, the door was pushed open from the inside.
A hunchbacked old man came out. There were only two black holes where his eyes were. It was obvious that his eyes had been dug out. He looked horrible. He said in an old voice, "Your Excellency is too kind. You saved my life. Just tell me what I need."
Guo Yun said, "Please ask Mr. Gong to help me protect someone. It's a woman who practices a special technique, which is very righteous and just like the Pure Yang Technique. Now, she is in Minglong Mountain. There are two masters who want to capture her."
The old man said, "I will do my best."
Guo Yun bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your help."
When he raised his head, the old man had disappeared. He looked in the direction of Minglong Mountain with a worried look on his face. If he had no other choice, he really didn't want to ask Mr. Gong for help.
Old Gong's current fate was caused by people in the royal family. If he knew that the person he had to protect was also of royal blood, it would be hard to predict how he would react.
Now, he can only take a gamble.
……
On the southern foot of Minglong Mountain, in a quiet and deserted valley.
Gu Mingchuan and Su Lingshuang sat on a huge rock, shoulder to shoulder, looking at the full moon in the sky.
Su Lingshuang held her chin with both hands and felt her cheeks were a little hot.
After they arrived at Minglong Mountain, Gu Mingchuan sent everyone else away and brought her here alone.
What did he bring me here for?
Is it...
No, that's not possible...
Su Lingshuang felt her heart beating violently. Suddenly, Gu Mingchuan beside her took off his clothes. She stammered, "Er...Erlang...should go...back..."
She wanted to stand up, but her hands and feet were weak and she had no strength left.
At this time, a piece of clothing was draped over her shoulders, and Gu Mingchuan's magnetic voice rang out, "Stay with me for a while. The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."
Su Lingshuang listened to his voice, her heart slowly calmed down, and finally she looked up at the bright moon and nodded gently, "Yeah."
The temperature in the mountains in early April is still very low.
Gu Mingchuan took a deep breath of the cold air and said, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will marry many wives and have many children in the future to continue the Gu family's lineage."
"My biggest wish in this life is to not work if I can, just eat, drink and have fun, and just muddle along for the rest of my life. I can't live that kind of austere life. It would be better to kill me than to let me practice in the mountains."
Su Lingshuang couldn't help but said, "Don't say such unlucky words."
Gu Mingchuan smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't formally thanked you yet. If it weren't for your caring for me two years ago, I would have died long ago."
When Su Lingshuang heard this, she finally felt something was wrong and turned to look at him, "Erlang, what's wrong with you?"
"I know you've always felt guilty towards me, thinking that you killed my family. In fact, I've never blamed you."
They are not his family. He traveled through time and space and has now helped the original owner to avenge himself, so it can be considered a cause and effect.
Gu Mingchuan turned his head and looked at her, saying, "From now on, no matter where you are, I will be fine. You have to be fine too."
"Erlang——"
Su Lingshuang's eyes were filled with tears, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"You have no future."
Suddenly, a sound came from a distance, like thunder.
Gu Mingchuan turned his head and saw two figures flying in the sky, which made him feel a little nervous.
Two grandmasters actually came!
Of course, for him now, one or two makes no difference.
He stood up, facing the two figures flying towards him, and said loudly, "You two are from the Xuanming Sect, right? Do you know where this place is?"
Those two people were Wu Chengzhou and Li Shang.
Wu Chengzhou's heart trembled, "You actually knew we would come? What is your relationship with Qi Junhao and Qi Wu?"
He immediately realized that it must have been Qi Junhao and Qi Wu who revealed it. They were the only two who knew about this.
As he spoke, he slowed down and turned his attention to his surroundings.
Gu Mingchuan said, "They are my mentors and senior brothers."
Wu Chengzhou's eyelids twitched, and he felt that he had made a big mistake.
Qi Wu and Qi Junhao were able to escape from the Demon Suppression Division and defeat Long Shengzhi, which shows their real strength. If they were to try to stop him, it would be quite troublesome.
He rescued these two people with the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and he saved them without taking too much risk.
I originally wanted them to delay the Demon Suppression Division.
Who would have thought that they would have such a relationship with this kid.
Wu Chengzhou felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
At this time, Li Shang said, "Master, don't be intimidated by this kid. If they were here, they would have shown up long ago."
Wu Chengzhou said decisively, "Do it!"
PS: I am striving to be in the top ten of the new book list, please give me your monthly vote.
