Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 438 Xie Guan is here, you are so arrogant
[You walk in from the street corner, and a deep blue lake suddenly comes into view. In the center of the lake stands the famous Zixiao Pavilion - Tingyu Tower.]

[You walk slowly and unhurriedly, not paying attention to the strangeness of your surroundings. The once bustling streets have become deserted without anyone noticing.]

[There seemed to be countless gazes following him in the dark, each carrying a murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were surrounding him, waiting for their prey to fall to their death.]

[Nine swords are trembling in the heart sea, and the divine fire of Niwan Palace is burning quietly. ]

[You slowly walked to the shore. The street corner was empty. There were only a few people scattered around the lake. As you arrived, all eyes were on you.]

~

It was already afternoon.

Helan Zhenshu was getting a little restless. This matter concerned them being sent back to their homeland from Da Qi, so how could he not take it seriously?

He stood up and paced back and forth for the fifth time. He had gathered so many resources and set up a tight net, but in the end, he didn't even get to see the real target.

"Will Xie Guan not come?"

"He will definitely come." Xie Renfeng said affirmatively.

Du Kong frowned and looked at Xie Renfeng and asked, "Master Feng, why are you so sure?"

Xie Renfeng said, "People like Xie Guan are just like the people in the book. It is undeniable that this person is talented and capable."

"When you make friends with this kind of person, he is willing to die for his friends and practice morality all his life, but he just can't live his own life well and live a miserable life."

"So, if you say he is a gentleman, I would say this kind of person is pedantic. People who write books and leave messages can't do it, so what right does he have!"

After hearing this, Prince Liu Yuan of the Sui Dynasty felt complicated and regretful.

If he were not in prison, he would be willing to make friends with such people. A gentleman will die for his friend.

If he were the king of a country, such a patriot would have been his guest of honor, worth a fortune.

There is a story that has been passed down through the ages about a ruler and his subjects.

Unfortunately... Liu Yuan raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the jug.

He wanted to use this great head to break out of the Bianjing prison.

Silence returns to the highest point of Yanbo Tower!

Only the Thirteenth Prince Chen Mu was peeling melon seeds out of boredom, the crisp sound of the seeds being peeled was particularly clear in the silence.

Not long after, the tall eunuch Xiao Yu, who was in charge of ceremonies in the palace, suddenly raised his eyes and said in a low and soft voice:
"The person you are waiting for... seems to have arrived."

Liu Yuan stood up suddenly and strode to the window. He tightened his fingers in his sleeves slightly, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone:
"Xie Guan...is finally here!"

Helan Zhenshu was startled at first, then he clapped his hands and laughed, slapping the window frame with one hand, his eyes flashing with bloodthirstiness:

"What an idiot! He actually came here to die!"

Liu Yuan took a deep breath, and all the emotions in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a cold look:
"Let's do it. Seal this place off."

Chen Mu slowly swallowed the last bite of pastry, lightly brushed off the crumbs with his fingertips, then stood up and walked to the window.

The lake surface was shimmering, reflecting the blood-red setting sun. A huge black shadow could be vaguely seen swimming slowly underwater, like a dormant ferocious beast.

There is murderous intent hidden in the lake, and the flashes of swords and sabers are shining coldly.

The murderous intent has enveloped Yanbo Lake like a dense net.

Chen Mu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes - it seemed that the princes of these countries really hated Xie Guan to the core, and even put up such a show.

"What a pity..." He chuckled and tapped the window frame with his fingertips. "I wanted to see you begging for mercy at my feet, but now I let you die too easily."

Xie Renfeng's gaze was fixed on the end of the long street.

A figure in green came over with a sword in hand.

His face was full of crazy smiles.

"Xie Guan, I want to see how you can escape today."

~

Not far from the Yanbo Lake, a three-story private residence stands quietly.

The windows on the top floor were half open. Princess Chen Zhirong of the Great Qi Dynasty stood by the railing, her hands lightly resting on the carved wooden railing, gazing into the distance in the direction of the Misty Lake.

"Your Highness, Xie Guan has already gone."

Nanny Yan stood behind with her head bowed, speaking in a low voice. Seeing that the princess did not respond, she added, "I have delivered your words word for word."

"I know."

Chen Zhirong sighed softly, and a trace of regret rarely appeared between her usually calm eyebrows and eyes. "I thought today I had finally found a tree that could be a pillar that supports the sky."

Before he finished speaking, he sighed again: "It's a pity that he has not yet grown into a useful person and is about to be broken here."

Nanny Yan said, "When Master Guan walked onto Changning Street, Mr. Dongshan stopped him."

"What does Mr. Dongshan say?"

"Our people dare not get too close, so we just ask passers-by." Nanny Yan said respectfully, "I heard that it was Mr. Dongshan who advised the young master that a gentleman should not act on impulse."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhirong nodded slowly.

"It seems that although Mr. Dongshan thinks highly of Xie Guan, he is powerless to do anything about it."

"Your Highness, shouldn't we take action? Perhaps we can save Xie Guan."

Chen Zhirong shook her head. "That person... is also here today. No one in Bianjing dares to attack him."

Nanny Yan was startled when she heard this.

She naturally understood who the "that person" His Highness was referring to - the powerful Prime Minister Su.

Are you paying attention to this matter now?

Chen Zhirong asked, "Where is Xie Guan now?"

"According to the spies' report, we have arrived at Yanbo Lake."

Chen Zhirong nodded and said, "Wait."

"I am surprised that a bastard can make him... pay attention to this place."

"Xie Guan, is there something I haven't seen through yet?"

~

"It's him!" Xue Huaian keenly noticed that the auras of many masters lying in ambush by the lake were all condensed, and all eyes were focused on the end of the long street.

A thin and tall figure walked slowly towards them.

Luo Susu's fingertips trembled slightly. The silhouette that had been lingering in her mind for the past few days now appeared vividly before her eyes, making her breathing pause.

Mei Qingsu looked around and found that although those hidden strong men still maintained their original postures, their minds were all locked on the young man.

"It seems that today's killing game was set up for Xie Guan."

Mei Qingsu himself found it hard to believe what he said, "Why would the King of Yan and the princes of other countries join forces to deal with Xie Guan?"

What puzzled her even more was - "And he went to the meeting alone?"

The two courtesans stared at the approaching figure, and Liu Zixin suddenly whispered, "The young master Guan today seems to be different from that day..."

The young man tied his long hair up high, and his blue shirt fluttered in the wind.

The elegant bookish air of the past has faded, replaced by an unstoppable heroic spirit, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Luo Susu also noticed the sword in Xie Guan's hand, and her heart trembled involuntarily.

The boy finally grasped the sword.

Xue Huaian asked, "Should we help?"

“After all, last time at the Xie Family Grand View Garden, Xie Guan also helped.”

Mei Qingsu looked hesitant. "If we take action, given today's situation, I'm afraid we will be implicated... Let's wait and see what happens!"

After the last incident in the Grand View Garden, he had always been suspicious about the reason why the White Bone Garden did not take action against the Xue family. Was it because of this illegitimate son of the Xie family? But he just couldn't figure it out.
Today made him somewhat certain.

The last time they were together was because of Xie Guan?

Also, last time he noticed Xie Guan's strange face, he had an indescribable appearance of a celestial being. "The appearance of an immortal is not limited to the beauty of the skin, but the inner light and the natural Taoist spirit, which shows the indescribable appearance of a celestial being."

He also seems to be dying young. Could it be that it will happen today?

A destiny of death!

Luo Susu was already holding her sword, her face determined, "I, Luo Susu, never owe anyone a favor. Since he saved me, I will naturally have no regrets."

Mei Qingsu felt helpless, but she also knew that the current owner of Jinxiu Tower was a man of his word and would rather break than bend.

He had no choice but to persuade them, "Let's protect the young master and the two girls first. The Xue family has been very kind to us. If something happens to the second young master, can we afford it?"

"If this Master Guan is in danger, it won't be too late to save him... Even if we save him, you saw it last time in the Grand View Garden. Can you take this Master Guan's sword?"

Luo Susu looked at Xue Huaian and the two women behind her, with a hesitant look on her face.

Especially the last sentence, her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

The scabbard collided with the blade, making a clear "clang" sound, and was finally retracted.

"it is good."

Mei Qingsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced across the lake - the old man fishing, the nun meditating on the bow, the monks drinking and eating meat, and the pig dragon looming under the water. The aura emitted by each of them was no less than that of the Yaksha ghost general at the White Bone Temple that day.

The situation today is far more dangerous than that in the Grand View Garden.

The lake breeze blew over my face, bringing with it a faint smell of water, and murderous aura filled the air!
Xue Huaian looked at Xie Guan, and when he saw that he seemed to be about to board the boat, his heart tightened.

"Not good. Once we enter the lake, we will probably be attacked from all sides. What's more, there is a pig dragon lurking at the bottom of the lake." Xue Huaian said anxiously.

~

[Before you even reach the lakeside, a delicate scent of powder wafts over with the wind.]

[A maid in a light blue skirt approaches slowly. She has a pretty face and the strength of the third level of Yuanshen.]

[The maid bowed and presented a piece of plain paper with both hands.]

[On the plain paper was a clear and elegant handwriting, with only one sentence written: "Sir, please step aboard the ship."]

[With a light pinch of your fingers, the paper will ignite without any fire. ]

[You shook your head, "The handwriting is so ugly."]

[The maid was stunned at first, and then she left quietly as she came, without saying a word.]

[You look up at the lake. There is no wind in the lake, but there are waves. The undercurrent pushes the water waves layer by layer.]

[Near the lake shore, a small boat is quietly moored. ]

[At the stern of the boat sat an old man in a straw raincoat, his hat pulled down low, the fishing rod in his hand motionless, as if he had merged into the scenery of the lake and mountains, as if he was waiting for you here.]

[There is also a sturdy man wearing a straw hat, shorts, and a missing left ear on the shore. He looks up at you, his face is obviously very honest, but there is no intention of getting close to you. On the contrary, you can only feel the bloody murderous aura that has been tempered for many years. ]

[You didn't hesitate and walked straight up. ]

[The old man flicked his fishing rod lightly, and the invisible thread was pulled, and a lively perch fell onto the deck and was picked up into the fish basket.]

[“I’m lucky today.” The old man’s voice was as hoarse as rubbing dead leaves. He put the new bait on the hook tip and threw it into the water.]

[The fisherman then turns around and looks at you, grinning, "The fish has taken the bait, put away the fishing rod."]

[You walk leisurely to the bow.]

[The sturdy man on the shore also followed you onto the boat. ]

[The boat, without anyone rowing it, broke through the water and slid toward the center of the lake.]

[Several boats in the lake also began to move, all intending to approach this place.]

[If you look down at the lake from a high place, you will be surprised to find that a huge long shadow is slowly circling in the deep shadow of the boat bottom, and its scales are glowing with a cold blue-black light. The undercurrent it creates when swimming has swirled a deep black vortex in the center of the lake.]

[The sturdy man takes off his straw hat and looks at your back. His muscular body is faintly throbbing under his rough cloth. The sturdy man clasps his fingers together, and his knuckles make a series of crisp sounds as he looks at your back.]

[He tilted his head and stared at your neck, his Adam's apple rolling, his smile creepy. ]

[“I wonder what the precious blood of the nine great families tastes like.”]

[The fisherman is at the stern of the boat, and the man is standing in the middle of the boat. ]

[You stand at the bow, a corner of your green dress lifted by the lake breeze, and the long sword in your hand trembles slightly, making a clear sound.]

[Your gaze passed over the shimmering water and fell on the distant Tingyu Tower with its flying eaves and brackets, leaving only the silhouettes of the two people behind you.]

[The sturdy man narrowed his eyes and clenched his fingers into fists, "You are so arrogant!"]
