The Great Martial Saint!

Canglong Xue family.

"Refused?"

The news that Chen Ping'an rejected the invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet was also passed on to the ears of the elders of the Xue family through the butler.

This result was somewhat beyond their expectations.

According to the information they had previously obtained, it is very likely that Chen Pingan, the Rough Blade, will attend this invitation.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was extraordinary, and it was an annual event in Canglong Prefecture. Mang Dao was well-known, and soon after Yu Beicang took office, he had a beautiful woman in his golden house. How could he not join in the fun of such a grand event where hundreds of flowers gathered and the most beautiful woman was selected! ?
"Did you mention the details of the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

Several elders of the Xue family asked about the specific details of the invitation.

They also learned from the steward that Chen Pingan didn't even look at the invitation they prepared.

"That makes sense." An elder said with a smile, stroking his beard.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was extremely famous, but Chen Ping'an had just arrived in Canglongzhou City and might not understand the details. If he didn't know, Chen Ping'an would have been hesitant and might not have accepted the invitation from the Xue family.

"Invite him again! This time, include detailed information about the Hundred Flowers Banquet." An elder of the clan gave the final word, setting the tone. "Pay attention, be polite and courteous! Also, tell Chen Pingan that this invitation was not from us old guys, but from my Xue family's genius, Zirou. Tell him not to worry!"

"Yes, elder." The steward responded and left.

In the Gu family's pavilion, Chen Pingan saw Gu Qingchan standing on the green jade steps.

Gu Qingchan today is very different from before.

The few times he met Gu Qingchan, she always appeared dignified, elegant and stunning.

Chen Ping'an had never seen such a sight of black hair falling like a waterfall.

Ok?
Chen Ping'an's heart skipped a beat and he instinctively became alert.

"Ping'an greets Senior Gu." Chen Ping'an looked calm and bowed to Gu Qingchan as usual.

As he performed the ceremony, his mind was racing as he pondered over the previous flaws.

Chen Pingan reviewed and pondered the details of his interactions with Gu Qing as Night Owl. After several reflections, he did not find any loopholes.

Logically speaking, there should be no possibility that the other party would discover him.

However, it was somewhat strange that Gu Qingchan had suddenly summoned him today. He had previously vaguely guessed that perhaps the matter of the sword technique had been finalized, and Gu Qingchan had come to see him today to fulfill her previous promise and to teach him the sword technique.

But now Gu Qingchan's attitude made Chen Pingan dispel the speculation that she was given the sword technique. If it was really because of the sword technique, Gu Qingchan would not behave like this.

"Is there some omission that I didn't notice?" Chen Pingan thought to himself.

Seeing that Gu Qingchan did not ask him to stand up, he still kept his head bowed and his hands clasped.

Gu Qingchan stood on the green jade steps, quietly looking at Chen Pingan who was standing below with his hands clasped.

When seeing the other person's overly young face, Gu Qingchan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of weirdness could not help but appear in her eyes.

Chen Ping'an stood with his hands clasped, waiting for a moment, but he never heard a word from Gu Qingchan.

He knew that he couldn't wait any longer. If he continued to wait like this, it would be completely against his character.

Judging from the current situation, Gu Qingchan was most likely suspicious of him. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he couldn't afford to think too much under the circumstances.

In such a delicate situation, even the slightest hesitation on his part could reveal his true thoughts.

If you show your weakness inadvertently, you will put yourself in an unfavorable situation, which will expose bigger flaws.

Many times, those practices that seem foolproof and extremely safe are often the most dangerous and unsafe.

The flaws in the situation were also exposed under such circumstances.

Thinking of this, Chen Pingan no longer waited for Gu Qingchan's response, but stood up and asked loudly, "Senior Gu, why did you call Pingan here?"

As he spoke, Chen Pingan's gaze naturally fell on Gu Qingchan.

Gu Qingchan raised her head slightly, her eyes were cold, and she slowly swept across Chen Ping'an's face: "Chen Ping'an, should I call you Mang Dao? Or..." Gu Qingchan paused, lowered her eyes and stared: "Should I call you Ye Xiao!"

Gu Qingchan's voice was still sweet, but Chen Ping'an could hear it with a hint of unspeakable coldness.

"Night Owl?" Chen Pingan was stunned, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face at the right time. He looked at Gu Qingchan: "Senior Gu, what are you doing..."

"Senior? I should call you senior!" Gu Qingchan said tenderly, "Chen Ping'an, you are so bold! You even dare to tease me!"

"Senior Gu, I don't know what you are talking about." Chen Pingan looked confused and puzzled. He just felt a little puzzled.

"Still trying to pretend!"

Gu Qingchan’s eyes were wide open and her pretty face was frosty.

hum~
A light blue light flashed, and almost in an instant, Gu Qingchan appeared in front of Chen Pingan.

Gu Qingchan's tender, sweet, and somewhat angry voice had just rang beside Chen Ping'an's ears, and he saw Gu Qingchan's figure transformed into a light blue haze, with her skirt fluttering, flying towards him like a fairy descending to the earth.

Almost instinctively, Chen Pingan wanted to retaliate, but in the end reason prevailed.

Although he didn't know why Gu Qingchan was so confident, he must not reveal any flaws.

When Gu Qingchan appeared in front of him, Chen Pingan showed a hint of fear and surprise, and there was even a hint of doubt and confusion in the depths of his eyes.

With Gu Qingchan's speed, if he reacted too quickly, it would be tantamount to confessing himself; if he reacted too slowly, it would be too obvious that he was acting.

His current attitude is just right, impartial and just right. His facial expressions and behavior are completely consistent with his personality and the level of strength he has revealed.

Just as the surprise and doubt appeared on Chen Ping'an's face, Gu Qingchan's pair of white and frosty hands had already fallen on him.

A finger as white as a scallion pointed directly at Chen Ping'an's brow, and a white jade hand as white as cold jade stroked his dantian.

hum~
A pale blue halo flickered, and Chen Pingan only felt a coolness between his eyebrows. The chill on his fingertips, with a hint of spirituality, penetrated deep into his eyebrows.

The location of Chen Ping'an's dantian is similar to that of his forehead. There is an indescribable power flowing in the soft touch.

Gu Qingchan used spiritual perception and true essence detection at the same time, preparing to expose Chen Pingan's hidden identity in one fell swoop.

"Nite Owl!"

"You have deceived me so much for so many days!"

Gu Qingchan's eyes were cold, and her true energy and spirituality surged out, probing frantically towards Chen Ping'an's body and brows.

When she tied Senior Night Owl and Chen Pingan together, she found it difficult to face her former self for a moment.

Especially during those many days and nights of practice, her fantasies made her feel a little ashamed.

If Chen Ping'an was really the senior Night Owl she had been thinking about day and night, considering all the previous exchanges and interactions, especially the scene in the stone chamber at Sanqi Mountain, she didn't even know how to face it.

In addition, there was the marriage between the family prodigy Gu Qingcheng and Chen Pingan, which was just decided not long ago and was led by her.

Her name was even signed on their marriage certificate. She served as the witness, witnessing the marriage contract and their subsequent marriage.

Witness the two of them, tied with a red rope early on, and will be together forever until old age!

but now
If Chen Pingan is really the Night Owl, then
How should she face Qingcheng! And how should she face her family members! And
Chen Pingan, the junior who has been supporting me all the way!

When she was sensing the situation, Gu Qingchan thought a lot.

If her conjecture is confirmed, she will face many challenges.

But no matter what, she will not let go of the opportunity!
All external things are illusory, only martial arts are real!

If you devote your passion to the Dao, and it is the Dao of Martial Arts, how can you lose sight of the essence and pursue only the trivial? ?
The light blue light flowed, and things were progressing much more smoothly than Gu Qingchan had expected.

According to her previous guess, she thought that this time she would be stopped by Chen Pingan.

If Chen Ping'an was really the Night Owl, it would be absolutely impossible for her to touch the two important places, the spiritual platform between the eyebrows and the dantian below the navel.

Either of them is of great significance to any martial arts practitioner and is of vital importance.

Especially the former, for the Grandmaster, it is the most important, it can be said to be the most secret place. If there is an external spiritual probe, the foundation will be damaged if you are not careful. In serious cases, it will not only affect the potential of martial arts, but also cause a sharp drop in cultivation.

Under such circumstances, how could an ordinary master dare to let the other party explore his spirituality?
When she met Senior Night Owl before, the gratitude in her words was not false but genuine.

Back when she was in Sanqi Mountain, she was seduced by the demons and it was Senior Yexiao who rescued her.

While rescuing people, he also peeked into her most secret place. Under such circumstances, the other party did not make too many moves. Such behavior naturally made her grateful.

In addition, since that day, that strong and tall figure has left a mark in my heart.

It was also because of this that she found the true method of practicing Xuannv's Heart Method, placing her emotions in it and entering the Tao through emotions.

This thought was only a fleeting thought in the blink of an eye. When Gu Qingchan's pair of jade hands in reality touched Chen Ping'an's body and forehead, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, and even a hint of suspicion appeared in her starry eyes.

If Chen Ping'an was really Senior Night Owl, how could he let her penetrate his spirituality so easily?
Although she had some doubts about her guess, Gu Qingchan would not give up halfway under such circumstances. She entered Chen Ping'an's body with her true essence, and probed into his spirituality for a detailed investigation.

The martial arts master has a strong inner essence, and his form is completely different from that of the Xuanguang Realm. In addition, the martial arts master condenses the flower of spirituality, and the spiritual platform deep in the brow cannot be concealed no matter how hard he tries.

Even Grandmaster Fengyun might be able to hide his mastery level to the early stage of Yuheng with the help of secret techniques, but the magical power of the spiritual platform between the eyebrows cannot be eliminated out of thin air.

The Xuannv Heart Method that Gu Qingchan practiced was precisely the way of mastering spirituality. Under the investigation of spiritual penetration, even if Grandmaster Fengyun was present, it would be impossible for her to hide anything from him.

With this investigation, it will be clear whether Chen Pingan is Senior Night Owl!
However, the actual results of the investigation were not what Gu Qingchan had expected. She did not find anything unusual on Chen Ping'an.

Mangdao Chen Pingan is undoubtedly a practitioner in Xuanguang Realm! The scene between his eyebrows is full of spiritual light, and he is only half a step away from condensing the flower of spirituality!
"no?"

Gu Qingchan's face showed surprise and the astonishment in her eyes became more and more intense.

"Is there really such a coincidence in the world?"

With such a thorough investigation, there was absolutely no way that Chen Ping'an's martial arts level could be hidden from her eyes.

Since Chen Ping'an's cultivation has not reached the level of a grandmaster, he cannot be Senior Night Owl.

"Senior Gu" Chen Pingan looked at Gu Qingchan who was so close to him in a daze.

hum~
Light blue light streamed, and the remaining spirituality and true essence all returned to Gu Qingchan's body. "I guessed wrong." Gu Qingchan was disappointed.

"Senior Gu, what's wrong with you?" Chen Ping'an looked at Gu Qingchan vigilantly, with complex emotions in his eyes, including surprise, confusion, vigilance, and a hint of subtle emotions.

The complex emotions in Chen Ping'an's eyes were all seen by Gu Qingchan. A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Gu Qingchan's starry eyes, with a hint of embarrassment, but she quickly recovered.

"Chen Ping'an, I'm tired, please leave!" Gu Qingchan's eyes were like stars, she raised her head slightly, with a cold and arrogant look, she turned around and left gracefully.

Gu Qingchan was wearing a palace skirt with silk ribbons wrapped around her body. When she walked, the hem of her skirt swayed like a noble and cool light blue lotus.

Chen Ping'an looked at Gu Qingchan's departing back in confusion. After a long while, he responded in a low voice.

"Yes, Senior Gu."

Until Chen Ping'an left, Gu Qingchan's delicate face looked thoughtful.

Her eyes were bright as she stared at the direction where Chen Pingan left. She thought for a long time and finally dispelled the terrible guess in her mind.

With her ability of spiritual exploration, even Grandmaster Fengyun would not be able to hide much under the investigation of the spiritual entering the body.

After all, although Grandmaster Fengyun is powerful, if you really look into it, he is just at the same level as her.

To put it another way, even if there are some great masters who are proficient in spiritual secrets and disguise and can hide a little bit of the magic, it is absolutely impossible for them to hide the entire magic of the spiritual platform.

If one wants to completely hide from her detection, perhaps only a Grand Master or above could do it!

But even if one is above the level of a grandmaster, while concealing his own spiritual power, and then perfectly simulating the scene between the eyebrows of the Xuanguan realm, it is probably not an unusual thing to achieve such a level!

As far as she knew, such a method was almost impossible for ordinary Grandmasters to achieve. If there was someone who could achieve such a level, he would probably be an absolutely powerful person in that realm!
Therefore, based on her recent investigation, there was absolutely no way that Chen Pingan could hide any of his methods from her!
unless
Chen Ping'an's realm has reached the level of a Grandmaster, and he has gone a long way in it. Then he has mastered the hidden secrets, so that he can perfectly hide from her perception.

But is it possible for Chen Pingan to meet these conditions?
Absolutely impossible!
Not to mention anything else, just being above a grandmaster cuts off all possibilities.

If she remembered correctly, Chen Pingan was not yet 24 years old. At the age of less than 24, he had reached the level of Grandmaster! ? And he was still the strongest among them!
how can that be!

Looking at the four regions of the Daqian Dynasty, is there anyone who has achieved this level at such an age?!
There has never been such a genius on the Daqian Hidden Dragon List!
Even if we take into account the royal bloodline and Daqian military who are not included in the Hidden Dragon List, as well as the rare descendants of hidden sects, I am afraid no one can reach such an achievement!
If there is only one exception, perhaps it is the son of Emperor Daqian who has the best luck in the world. Only then could this be possible!
As for whether it has been done or not, that is not something outsiders can know.

The imperial family's geniuses have never been ranked among the latent dragons since ancient times, and their deeds are unknown to outsiders. Not to mention the emperor's son who is expected to inherit the throne. Regardless of the fact that many years have passed, even back then, I'm afraid not many people knew about it.

Even those of royal blood might not know such secrets, let alone them.

Emperor Qian had many descendants, numbering in the thousands, but only a hundred of them had the emperor's bloodline, nine of them could be called princes, and only one could be called the emperor's son!
The appearance of the emperor's son is probably hard to imagine, let alone ordinary people, even for the big families in the state with many years of inheritance like the Mu, Xu and Chai families.

Only a powerful family like the Gu family, which has influence over several states and stands tall in the northern border, could have a glimpse of and imagined the great power of the emperor's son from just a few words.

However, the former emperor's son has now become a supreme powerhouse who overwhelms Daqian! How many people on the current Hidden Dragon List can match his former demeanor? ?
The Emperor's natural talent is beyond compare, and with the blessing of his bloodline and luck, he has already surpassed all limits of geniuses and is incomparable to anyone in this world.

The Emperor's son shines brightly like the sun hanging high in the sky. He is born to rule over all things. He is born sacred!

Not to mention the emperor's son, even those princes are born with supernatural companions. Every one of them is born with great fortune. These people with imperial blood and royal family are no longer ordinary people. They are born different and are not something that ordinary people in the world can look up to.

The Daqian royal family has the orthodoxy of the dynasty and the accumulation of luck. Even if they only have a tiny bit of bloodline, with the blessing of bloodline luck, their talents can be outstanding, far exceeding ordinary geniuses.

If those have strong bloodlines, their talents and abilities are beyond the reach of ordinary geniuses, and they can probably easily climb onto the Hidden Dragon List.

As for those who have imperial blood, their natural talents are beyond the world's vision. Such nobles can probably only be compared to the geniuses at the top of the Potential Dragon List.

Under such circumstances, there is an agreement that anyone with royal blood will not be included in the Hidden Dragon List.

One is to maintain the mystery of the Daqian royal family, and the other is to leave a name for the pride of the world!
If the descendants of the Daqian royal family can be included in the Hidden Dragon List, then more than half of the Hidden Dragon geniuses on this Hidden Dragon List will be descendants of the royal family.

A hidden dragon is a hidden dragon. If the real dragon is there, the hidden dragon will hardly show its head!

However, although the royal bloodline is very magical, it is absolutely impossible for it to have the glory of the emperor's son. In addition, the situation of the princes is similar.

The emperor's sons and princes of the past have now become the most powerful men in Daqian, and their age is already beyond the age to compete with the so-called hidden dragons and geniuses.

Emperor Qian has ruled the world for thousands of years and is now very old. Although some descendants have been born in recent years, no one with imperial blood has been born, let alone a prince.

Of course, all of this was royal secrets, and Gu Qingchan could only guess from a few words in the secret files.

In today's situation, most of those with imperial bloodline are past the age to compete for the Hidden Dragon List, and there are no new heirs of imperial bloodline being born. There are probably not many people with royal bloodline who truly meet the age requirement to compete for the Hidden Dragon List.

In the royal family, the only ones who could really stand out were the descendants of the bloodline born in the past fifty years, as well as the descendants of some princes and dukes. According to the information spread by the world, there were no geniuses who could rival the princes in terms of talent and bloodline!
Even if we take the military forces and the descendants of hidden sects into consideration, I'm afraid there won't be such a genius.

The possibility that Gu Qingchan guessed was something that only the prince of the past could possibly achieve. Even the Daqian prince, who was born with supernatural powers, could hardly do it.

Although Chen Ping'an's talent is not bad, he has not even been able to climb the Hidden Dragon Ranking. If even the emperor's bloodline with the world's luck can't do it, then he naturally can't do it.

Under such circumstances, Gu Qingchan's speculation about Chen Pingan was naturally completely ridiculous.

Naturally, the suspicion on Chen Pingan no longer existed and was completely cleared.

but
In addition to the factor of cultivation, there are also some rare treasures in the world, which may have magical powers that conceal the realm.

Could it be that Chen Pingan had such a rare treasure on him that deceived her detection?
Gu Qingchan thought about it and finally gave up the idea.

Such rare treasures of heaven and earth are created with the luck of heaven and earth, and can only be obtained by those with great luck.

Such people with great fortune are loved by heaven and earth. As soon as they are born, miracles will probably befall the heaven and earth.

She knew Chen Ping'an's background, upbringing, and resume details very well, and she knew he was definitely not someone with such luck.

Having said that, Gu Qingchan still had some doubts in her heart.

"If it's not Chen Ping'an, then who could it be, Senior Ye Xiao?" Gu Qingchan's starry eyes dimmed.

With the strength of Senior Night Owl, he would definitely not be an unknown person. If he were from Canglong Province, he would probably have been famous long ago.
A hint of deep thought appeared in Gu Qingchan's eyes, which were as clear as the moonlight.

"Senior Night Owl."

Until he left, Chen Ping'an's face was filled with a bit of surprise and confusion, like ripples on the surface of the lake, which lingered for a long time.

It was not until he got on the rosewood carriage and left the Gu family as the wheels rolled that his expression returned to normal and he could not help but praise.

“The panel is awesome!”

If it weren't for the cover-up of the gold finger panel, his true situation would never have been hidden from Gu Qingchan's eyes.

Even if he engraved more spiritual patterns, the result would be the same.

Hiding one's cultivation and hiding the scene of the spiritual platform are two completely different things. In addition, in the face of Gu Qingchan's investigation, it is necessary to simulate the scene of the eyebrow center of the Xuanguang Realm. Such means are definitely not something that a grandmaster can do.

Gu Qingchan is not an ordinary person, but a genuine grandmaster. It is extremely difficult to hide things from her.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and there were not too many flaws.

Chen Pingan reviewed his performance just now. Overall, it was perfect. The reactions and emotions in all aspects were basically caught well.

Combined with the situation of the investigation, under this circumstance, Gu Qingchan's suspicion of him should be basically dispelled. Even if there is still suspicion, I am afraid there will not be much left.

There were quite a few incidents during the previous investigation. When Gu Qingchan's spirit entered the scene between his eyebrows, his spirit actually had a faint sense of fusion. If he had not suppressed it with his mind, I am afraid that even with the cover of the golden finger panel, it would have revealed a flaw.

After feeling Gu Qingchan's spirituality again, Chen Pingan gained a new understanding.

The golden finger panel has the ability to conceal the realm of cultivation, and the degree of this concealment is strongly related to the realm he displays to the outside world.

If the realm he displays is consistent with the real realm, the concealing function of the panel will be weakened accordingly.

This is why when he first appeared in a disguise, Gu Qingchan was able to recognize his disguised identity and responded to his spirituality.

When the difference between his revealed realm and actual realm is large, the panel's concealment function is enhanced, and such traces will be completely eliminated. Therefore, when his true self appeared, Gu Qingchan was unmoved by the cover of the gold finger panel.

"When the top Grandmaster's cultivation is revealed, the concealment effect is consistent with that of the Grandmaster. And if the initial stage of Yuheng's cultivation is revealed, the concealment effect is consistent with that of the original body."

"It seems that when the vest is deployed, the gap between the realm revealed to the outside world must be widened, otherwise, it is very likely that people will associate it with being above the original body. The bigger the gap, the greater the difference in the gold finger's concealment effect, and only in this way can it be concealed!"

"Based on the realm that has been revealed to the public, the person who is deployed in disguise must be at least at the top Grandmaster level. If it is lower, people may associate it with the original body through the aura."

"If I reveal my Grandmaster status to the public, then the status revealed by my vest must be raised accordingly, otherwise the risk factor will greatly increase."

"We need to set a rule. The realm shown by the real body and the realm shown by the vest must be at least two realms apart. Otherwise, there will be risks!"

"."

This inspection confirmed an idea in Chen Ping's mind. He had more successful experience in using the gold finger panel.

To be honest, when Gu Qingchan directly revealed his identity just now, he really thought that the other party had obtained some definitive evidence.

At that time, Chen Pingan even thought about pulling out the identity of a protector, or using some other method to confuse the audience.

Theoretically speaking, although he had a certain degree of trust in Gu Qingchan, he had not yet trusted her to this extent. The matter of cultivation was related to his confidence and core interests. It was no exaggeration to say that his life and property were at stake.

Under such circumstances, there was no way he would let Gu Qingchan know.

Fortunately, when the other party checked, Chen Pingan guessed that Gu Qingchan did not have much evidence in his hands, otherwise, there would be no need to do so.

All in all, this interaction went smoothly.

But this matter must not be ignored. Gu Qingchan has been able to cultivate to this level, and he is definitely not a fool. After today's investigation, most of the suspicion on him should be cleared, but there is no guarantee that the other party will not be suspicious again and make some tentative moves.

This matter needs to be considered early.

While he was thinking, Chen Pingan, sitting in the Gu family's carriage, also arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hmm?" Chen Ping'an's eyes moved slightly.

At this time, in front of the courtyard, in addition to the Gu family's car frame, there was also a car frame from the Xue family parked.

Next to the carriage frame, an old servant of the Xue family was standing respectfully.

"Master Chen, I will take my leave now." The steward of the Gu family seemed not to have seen the Xue family's carriage. He bowed and respectfully took his leave to Chen Pingan.

Before leaving, he just happened to see from the corner of his eye that the old servant of the Xue family came to Chen Pingan and respectfully called him "Master Chen".

The Gu family's steward changed his mind and drove away quickly. (End of this chapter)
