The Great Martial Saint!

"Senior Gu." Chen Ping'an walked closer, first bowed to Gu Qingchan, and then answered her question.

Did the conversation go smoothly?

This question seems to be asking about his feelings, but in fact there is often only one answer to the question.

Well! If
If Chen Pingan does not object to the marriage.

When he met Gu Qingcheng for the first time, Chen Pingan was indeed amazed by her beauty.

It's not just about posture and appearance, but also about temperament.

During the entire conversation, Gu Qingcheng didn't say much, and the most she said was just the three questions she asked him.

What is Kendo?

What is the way of the sword?
What is Tao!?

If I were to ask what kind of feelings I have for each other, to be honest, there aren't any at all.

But if you say I'm curious, to be honest, it's a full basket.

Especially since he was unable to sense anything with his spiritual perception at the Grand Master level and instead suffered a backlash, which made him extremely curious.

In addition, the girl next to the other party is also quite interesting.

The girl wasn't the type of stunningly beautiful girl, but for some reason she just met his aesthetic standards. She was the type that looked pretty at first glance, but then became extremely beautiful.

In addition, the other person had a unique temperament, which was quite to Chen Ping'an's liking.

If not for this, with Chen Ping'an's character, he would naturally not have made such a grimacing move in the end.

However, although it is pleasing to my heart, it cannot be said to be love at first sight. At most, I have some good feelings towards her.

However, to be honest, the girl seems a little young!
Thinking of this, Chen Pingan couldn't help but look at Gu Qingchan in front of him again.

This one.
She is not young anymore, but her face looks so young!

Chen Pingan did not shy away from answering Gu Qingchan's question and directly replied that the conversation went quite smoothly.

Seeing Chen Ping'an's expression, Gu Qingchan was quite satisfied and asked him about his opinion on the marriage.

The Gu family is full of sincerity and hopes that he will think carefully.

This matter is dispensable to Chen Pingan.

However, he hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not raise any objection.

This statement made Gu Qingchan even more satisfied. Since Chen Ping'an had no objection, she could represent the family and make this happen.

Chen Pingan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he kept thanking him.

The tone of the marriage was set, and Gu Qingchan liked Chen Pingan more and more.

Seeing that Gu Qingchan was kind, Chen Pingan didn't bother to be polite with her.

"Senior Gu, Chen was born in a humble family. Since I started practicing, I have been struggling and working hard, and I have achieved my current achievements. Although Chen has received a lot of help on his path of practice, his practice techniques are extremely scarce, and his combat power is also very shallow. Whenever he encounters a strong enemy, he feels powerless. I have heard for a long time that the Gu family has a deep foundation and has countless exquisite techniques.

I wonder if the senior can show me some mercy and lend me some of my skills to help me solve my difficulties in cultivation, improve my combat power, and boost my morale."

Chen Pingan clasped his hands and clasped his fists in a respectful manner. As he spoke, a hint of sadness even appeared in his expression.

Combined with the tone of voice, the image of a peerless genius who came from a humble background, had little money but was determined, and rose from adversity comes to mind.

Hearing this, Gu Qingchan's starry eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help but be amused by Chen Ping's smile.

Struggling all the way, being cautious and prudent?

Lack of skills and weak combat power!
Do you feel powerless every time you encounter a strong enemy?
This is what I said.
Or is it a reckless knife?
Since he started in Nanquan Lane, he has been showing his prowess, rising through the ranks and suppressing others along the way. Not to mention that he has killed many people, but he has definitely accumulated a lot of prestige. Even until today, when he is in Beicang, he still has the final say!
If we talk about the lack of skills, then there is no point in talking about it.

Soul-breaking sword technique, dragon-swimming body technique!

There are two magical skills alone! Among them, the Dragon Movement is also a top-notch magical skill.

He has accumulated so much knowledge even before reaching the level of Grandmaster.

Not to mention whether it can be linked to profound cultural heritage, but it definitely has nothing to do with the word "scarcity".

In addition, every time you encounter a strong enemy, you feel powerless?

That's even more nonsense!
If he was really unable to do it, how could he be known as Mang Dao today!

Whenever you encounter a strong enemy, just rush forward without caring about anything!
Besides, where does the powerful enemy come from? He himself is a powerful enemy of others!

Looking at Chen Ping'an like this, if she didn't know the inside story, she would probably have been deceived by him.

"Chen Ping'an, my Gu family has been passed down for many years and has its own rules. Although there are many family skills, they are strictly controlled and you can't just watch them if you want to. If it is an ordinary skill that does not need to be controlled, I'm afraid you won't be able to appreciate it with your current vision."

Gu Qingchan restrained her smile and said calmly.

"Senior Gu, Chen's fighting ability is shallow. Every time I think of this, I feel like I am on the edge of an abyss and tremble with fear. If I unfortunately encounter a strong enemy, Chen will be powerless to fight back and can only be controlled by others. At that time, my life will be worthless. Losing my life is the second most important thing. I am afraid that because of Chen's mistake, our friendship today will be affected. Senior Gu, please think of this, pity Chen, and make some concessions! Chen will definitely be grateful and remember it in his heart!"

Chen Ping'an had a miserable look on his face, and spoke earnestly, with an attitude that said, "If you lend it to me, I won't leave."

A kiss?

Gu Qingchan frowned slightly, a little confused. But she didn't pay too much attention to it. Looking at Chen Ping'an's demeanor, the new Grandmaster of the Gu family couldn't help but be speechless.

He was fine just now, why is he acting like a rogue now?

"You have a great talent in the way of the sword, and your family happens to have a few precious sword manuals. Considering your rare talent, I can make some concessions today."

Hearing this, Chen Pingan was overjoyed and clasped his hands together: "Thank you, Senior Gu. With the background of the Gu family, I think the swordsmanship must be quite good. If I can get this swordsmanship, my combat power will definitely increase greatly, and I will not lose the reputation of the rough sword. It's all thanks to the help of Senior Gu!"

"You are really good at climbing up the ladder!" Gu Qingchan's starry eyes condensed: "These sword techniques are the result of the hard work of our ancestors, and they are definitely not ordinary things! I will find a suitable sword technique for you to practice!"

"Senior Gu, I will always remember your kindness. If you need me to do something in the future, I will shoulder the responsibility, no matter how hard it may be!" Chen Ping'an came forward and expressed his loyalty.

"If you practice well, it will be the greatest reward for me!" As she said that, Gu Qingchan glared at Chen Pingan fiercely.

Chen Pingan smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing Chen Ping'an's reaction, Gu Qingchan wanted to touch her forehead, speechless.

The two exchanged a few words, and Gu Qingchan finally said seriously, reminding Chen Pingan: "The more skills, the better. Although practicing multiple skills at the same time will help a lot, you must understand that you can't chew too much."

To this, Chen Pingan nodded in agreement.

From a common sense perspective, what Gu Qingchan said was correct, but he had a golden finger panel, which was not within common sense.

In addition to talking about the cultivation method, Gu Qingchan also talked about the state pacification office. Previously, Chen Pingan abolished Qi Guangshan's cultivation, and the Canglong State pacification office was furious. Ning Zhengyue convened a review meeting that day to try to determine the tone of accountability.

However, during the meeting, the Gu family stepped in to mediate the situation. On that day, the Gu family was being oppressed by all parties and their influence gradually weakened. Although the situation was resolved, it was not completely resolved.

However, until today, Gu Qingchan broke through, which made the Gu family's reputation disappear from the decline and show signs of returning to its peak.

When the breakthrough continues to develop, the Gu family will step in and pay a certain amount of chips and price, which should be enough to resolve the matter.

In response, Chen Pingan expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

He had already considered the matter of the state pacification office's accountability. He had no fear of it. However, since the Gu family was willing to come forward to resolve the matter, he was happy to see it happen.

"You are here today, the State Pacification Office should have received the news. Since you have come to Canglong Prefecture City, whether it is to report or explain, you should go to the State Pacification Office. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable.

In addition, although my Gu family can resolve the matter of Canglong's special envoy, many details and corresponding explanations still need to be handled by you yourself. "Gu Qingchan's voice was tender and crisp, like a spring splashing in the mountains, composing a piece of music.

"Since you are here today, there is no need to rush to the State Pacification Office. It will not be too late to go there tomorrow."

"Thank you, Senior Gu, for your advice." Chen Pingan bowed his hands to show his gratitude: "Ping'an understands."

Gu Qingchan talked with Chen Pingan for a long time before taking him away from the pavilion.

The two did not hide their tracks as they walked in the Gu family's compound. From time to time, servants and stewards of the Gu family passed by.

When they saw them, they stopped, bowed, and greeted them respectfully.

"Hello, elder."

Gu Qingchan has now broken through to the level of Grandmaster, and her status in the Gu family has been further elevated. She has already entered the family's elders' hall and officially entered the family's decision-making sequence.

Although they were in the core of the Gu family, the servants and maids who could appear here were not ordinary. But when facing Gu Qingchan, they still had to greet her respectfully with an extremely humble attitude.

Only after they left did the servants dare to look up. Seeing Chen Pingan following behind the elders, many people were puzzled.

With the current situation of the elder, he actually accompanied him personally. Who is this young man? Why is he valued so much by the elder?

You have to know that the elders had just broken through to the realm, and there was an endless stream of visitors, but most of them couldn't even enter the inner courtyard of the Gu family. Only a very small number of people could enter the inner courtyard to have a chat.

Among them, only a few can see the elders.

Not to mention having the elders personally guide and lead the way!

However, such doubts were quickly dispelled from their minds.

Those who can come and go here must be well aware of the ways and rules.

Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and don’t be curious about what you shouldn’t be curious about.

Do more, ask less, think more.

Knowing more is not necessarily a good thing.

Gu Qingchan took Chen Pingan for a walk, and the servant manager they met on the way also remembered Chen Pingan's appearance clearly.

This person is a distinguished guest of the Gu family! He is highly regarded by the elders!
Don't offend!
After returning to Gu Qingchan's palace, she did not communicate much with Chen Pingan. She only said a few words and let Chen Pingan leave.

She had just broken through and had a lot of things to do. It was a great blessing for her to be able to accompany Chen Pingan for such a long time. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably let her go after just a quick visit.

Before leaving, Gu Qingchan had already made arrangements.

It was also here that Chen Pingan met Gu Haoqing, the patriarch of the Gu family, with whom he had previously exchanged letters.

As the candidate for the state pacification department, Gu Haoqing was naturally entangled in many things and could not get away easily. However, since Chen Pingan was here, he had to meet him.

"You were praised for your heroic spirit in the letter. But seeing you today, I find that my writing skills are not up to par. What a bold sword!" Gu Haoqing hurried over, and when he saw Chen Pingan, his eyes were sharp and he laughed out loud.

"I am Chen Ping'an, your humble servant, and I am here to meet Lord Gu." Chen Ping'an bowed with a smile on his face.

"Ping An, there's no need to be like this. We meet today just to talk about private matters, so there's no need to use any titles." Gu Haoqing acted very easy-going and waved his hand and smiled.

Chen Pingan was very sensible, so he changed his words and said, "Junior, please come and see Senior Gu." Gu Haoqing was very happy to see Chen Pingan, who was standing tall like a pine tree with a sword hanging from his waist, and had a heroic look between his eyebrows and a handsome appearance.

The earliest attempt of the Gu family to win over the emperor was made by Gu Haoqing. Before that, the two of them had communicated a lot in letters.

Although this was the first time the two met, they chatted quite comfortably.

Gu Haoqing has reached the Grandmaster level for many years, but has not yet broken through the barrier and entered the middle stage of Yuheng. In terms of martial arts level, Gu Haoqing is far inferior to Chen Pingan today.

However, in most situations, the strong are respected. But the relationship between people is not only measured by the level of martial arts.

Chen Pingan behaved very politely.

Gu Haoqing looked at Chen Pingan and became more and more satisfied. His eyes were gentle and approving, just like looking at his own proud younger generation. When he learned that the marriage was basically finalized, he laughed heartily, his eyes full of relief and joy.

Later, Gu Haoqing invited Chen Pingan to have a meal.

The Gu family was a wealthy family, so they had to mobilize a large number of people to prepare for the banquet.

During the banquet, Chen Pingan's knowledge and experience far exceeded his age. Especially some of his experiences in martial arts, which made Gu Haoqing marvel again and again. He even exclaimed that there are really people in the world who are born with knowledge! ?

Of course, this was Gu Haoqing's compliment, and it was a bit exaggerated.

But as the conversation went on, Gu Haoqing became more and more satisfied. He nodded slightly from time to time, and clapped his hands and laughed from time to time.

There was no estrangement between the two during their conversation. Although Gu Haoqing was a master, Chen Pingan's current status was not inferior to that of an ordinary master.

With his talent and potential, he is expected to become a Grand Master in the future. When ordinary Grand Masters see him, they have to be more polite.

Only those senior masters who have entered the middle stage of Yuheng can give Chen Pingan some face.

Gu Haoqing still had official duties to attend to, so he came out this time to take some time out from his busy schedule. After the banquet, Chen Pingan saw that the time was right, so he said goodbye and left.

Gu Haoqing tried to persuade Chen Pingan to stay for a few more times, but seeing that Chen Pingan was determined to leave, he did not try to keep him any longer.

"Come on, Ping An, I'll see you off!" Gu Haoqing was extremely polite. He did not mention what the old man said during the conversation, but instead acted as if they were equals.

"Thank you, Senior Gu." Chen Pingan bowed humbly.

Gu Haoqing saw him off all the way, which naturally attracted the attention of the servants and stewards of the Gu family. In addition to the servants and stewards, Chen Pingan also saw many young people of the Gu family. They looked at him with curiosity and doubt.

"Hello, Grandpa Jiu!"

"Greetings to Great Uncle!"

"."

When they saw Gu Haoqing, many of the younger generations greeted him.

Gu Haoqing is the candidate for the head of the provincial pacification office and is also a Yuheng master. His status in the Gu family is not low.

In the eyes of these younger generations, he is the real powerful elder of the clan!
"Who is that person? He doesn't look very old, why did the Ninth Master personally send him off?"

"I just came back from outside, and I didn't hear that there were any distinguished guests visiting my home."

"Could it be a young descendant of some family?"

"Impossible. I know all the young people of importance in each family, but there is no such person. Besides, even if he is a core descendant, how can the Ninth Master be polite to him?"

"Indeed."

"Youngster. Pacification Division. Hey, wait, you guys think, this guy is not Mang Dao!?"

"Mang Dao! It's really possible! Previously, it was rumored that the family was interested in marrying Mang Dao. Now that Mang Dao is here, it's really possible!"

"Look at him, with a sword on his waist, he is obviously a swordsman. And he has Uncle Nine to escort him, plus his age, he must be a Rough Swordsman without a doubt!"

"."

After watching the two leave, several younger members of the Gu family whispered to each other.

Their voices were very low, but with Chen Pingan and Gu Haoqing's hearing ability, they could still be heard clearly.

Fortunately, they knew the importance of the matter and did not say anything bad behind her back. I don't know if they didn't think that way or if they were hesitant and didn't show it.

When Chen Pingan was about to leave the Gu family's gate, he met a few people walking in from outside.

"Please come in, Elder Mu. The elder has just achieved a breakthrough, so he should be busy recently. But it doesn't matter. I will do my best to inform you."

An old man with gray hair and a weathered face was smiling and talking to an old man with white hair and a ruddy face beside him. There were several people following closely behind them.

Chen Pingan looked up and saw at a glance the cultivation levels of several people.

There are two Yuheng Grandmasters, and the rest are all in Xuanguan Realm.

Among them, the ruddy old man with white hair and a youthful face has the highest realm, the middle stage of Yuheng realm, which should be close to the category of top masters.

When Chen Ping'an noticed a few people, the other party obviously noticed them as well.

"Ninth brother." The weathered old man greeted Gu Haoqing with a smile when he saw him.

Gu Haoqing smiled and said to the ruddy old man beside him, "Mr. Mu, it's been a long time since we last met. I see you are even more elegant than before! Your presence today is truly enviable."

"I'm old, I'm old, I don't deserve praise." The ruddy old man smiled and waved his hands. He seemed to be very familiar with Gu Haoqing: "Who is this?"

His eyes fell on Chen Pingan.

"This is young friend Ping An." Gu Haoqing introduced with a smile.

"Ping An, this is the elder of the Mu family, Taoist Mu Sang! This is the elder of my Gu family, the elder of the Yingjia clan."

Taoist Mu Sang! ?
Chen Ping'an was slightly startled, but soon he remembered the other party's intelligence information.

Taoist Mu Sang, known as the dead tree that has come back to life, is one of the oldest members of the Mu family's middle-stage Yuheng elders. It is said that Taoist Mu Sang is over 280 years old, and should be in his old age. But he is full of vitality, as if he were in his prime.

"Friend Ping An? Could it be that you are the peerless genius who has recently become famous in Canglong, the Rough Blade Chen Ping An!"

There was a hint of surprise in the ruddy old man's eyes, as if he didn't expect Chen Ping'an to be here.

"That's right." Gu Haoqing said with a smile.

"Hello, Senior Mu. Hello, Senior Yingjia." Chen Pingan smiled and bowed, greeting each other in turn.

"My dear Ping An, you are handsome and extraordinary, you are truly a rare talent."

Taoist Mu Sang stroked his beard and smiled, with a hint of kindness on his face.

"Senior Mu, you are not worthy of such exaggeration." Chen Pingan said modestly.

However, he was very keenly aware that Taoist Mu Sang's spiritual power was reaching out and exploring him.

It was obvious that he was preparing to find out the background of this peerless genius.

Chen Pingan seemed unaware, but his mind suddenly became active.

Taoist Mu Sang was still smiling, but when his spirit just touched Chen Pingan, he immediately felt a surge of power. The smile on his face couldn't help but stagnate, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

This child
This boy's foundation is so solid! ?

In Taoist Mu Sang's perception, Chen Ping'an's spiritual light was magnificent and full of spirituality, as if he had already reached the threshold of a master, but for some reason he had not yet broken through. It was as if there was an invisible barrier that trapped him at this step, but it also made people feel that if he broke through, it would be a groundbreaking event.

"Mr. Mu, what's wrong?" Gu Haoqing suddenly asked.

"Hahaha, nothing." Taoist Mu Sang laughed and put a smile on his face again, but his smile was mixed with a few traces of amazement: "Seeing young friend Ping An, you have amazing talent and great fortune, I can't help but feel a little emotional."

"So that's how it is." Gu Haoqing said with a smile.

After exchanging some greetings, the few of them did not stay long and said goodbye one by one.

However, until Chen Ping'an left, Taoist Mu Sang couldn't help but look back.

"Mr. Mu, what happened?" Gu Yingjia asked curiously.

"Nothing." There was a hint of solemnity in Taoist Mu Sang's eyes.

The talent of this rough sword Chen Pingan is probably far beyond previous expectations!

No wonder the Gu family would go to such great lengths to win him over.

If such a genius were placed in his Mu family, his actions would probably be even more extreme.

It's a pity that his Mu family didn't have this luck. The family's bargaining chips are also very limited. There are only a few young people in the family who can show off. If the age is suitable, it is only Qingyao!
"See you tomorrow, my friend." In front of the main gate of the Gu family, the two said goodbye reluctantly.

In the previous process, Gu Haoqing also mentioned the matter of the state pacification department's accountability, and his words were similar to Gu Qingchan's, saying that it would be put aside for the time being, so that Chen Pingan didn't have to worry. However, since he had come to Canglongzhou City, he still had to go to the door to explain tomorrow.

Chen Ping'an already had this idea without them having to mention it.

However, according to his previous idea, this was not the way to deal with it. But now that there is a simpler way, he is happy and at ease.

Gu Haoqing personally saw them off, which naturally attracted everyone's admiration.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Pingan.

"Go to Ruyibao Pavilion!"

He boarded the Gu family's carriage and did not choose to go home. Instead, he ordered to go directly to Ruyi Bao Pavilion.

Ruyi Pavilion is backed by Ruyi Business, and its business is spread across Canglong Prefecture and surrounding prefectures. Ruyi Pavilion can be seen in any county town.

And Canglongzhou City, as the headquarters of Ruyi Baoge, is naturally of the highest standard!

Chen Ping'an wanted to seek martial arts and magical weapons, and Ruyi Bao Pavilion was a place he could not avoid.

He probably had some thoughts in his mind about how to pursue it.

I have some free time today, so I might as well go over and take a look.

"Yes." The driver driving the gilded carriage with a rosewood frame responded respectfully, then waved his whip and drove towards the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.

It is worth mentioning that the horses on this kind of carriage are not ordinary horses, but mutants with the blood of monsters. Not only do they have extremely high endurance, but they are also extremely fast.

Not long after the frame started moving, Chen Pingan saw a specially made frame that was completely black and extremely tall.

"It's the carriage frame of the Pacification Bureau." Chen Ping'an's heart moved and he recognized the shape of the frame at a glance.

His mind flickered, and he soon sensed a familiar breath.

Yunyin Sword, Feng Wuhen!
"What is he doing here?" A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Ping'an's mind. (End of this chapter)
