The Great Martial Saint!

The just concluded Oiran Competition and Hundred Flowers Feast at Misty Rain Ferry had made countless onlookers excited. Even though they hadn't slept all night, it didn't affect their enthusiasm and excitement at all.

The Canglongzhou City, which was prosperous and bustling in the past, is undoubtedly even more bustling today.

Restaurants, inns, Yaxuan Pavilions, and anywhere else where people gather are filled with heated discussions and exchanges.

In a large restaurant in the provincial capital, waiters were carrying trays and walking between the tables, their ears perked up, listening to the guests' heated discussions. They were chatting about the Misty Ferry, the appearance and talents of the courtesans in brothels and pleasure boats, and the oddities and interesting things from last night's event.

"The Oiran competition is over. Who is the Fairy of Flowers?"

"Haha, your news is too delayed. It's been so long and we still don't know who the Fairy of Flowers is."

"There is a fierce woman at home who keeps a close eye on me. I was so sleepy last night that I just woke up. I really don't know about this."

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Fairy Yunmeng!"

"."

"If you ask me, Fairy Yunmeng deserves the title. With a piece of Dongxiao and a piece of Colorful Feather Dance, she is just like a fairy descending to earth, and she can capture people's souls!"

"That's right! Fairy Youlan is not bad, but she is still far behind Fairy Yunmeng."

"Fairy Yunmeng has once again won the title of Fairy of Flowers. This way, Fairy Yunmeng has broken the record of the Misty Rain Ferry for a hundred years!"

"."

The restaurant was bustling with people discussing the magnificent sight of flowers last night.

Last night, Chen Pingan slapped Xue Guangyu, the prodigy of the Xue family, into the water. Many people witnessed this.

In addition to mentioning the matter of the oiran, everyone else also mentioned this matter.

"He slapped the Xue family's genius away with one palm. If I remember correctly, Xue Guangyu of the Xue family seemed to be able to compete with Juedian?"

"Indeed, this Mang Dao was able to achieve this level with such ease, he is truly worthy of being a rare genius in the state!"

"The new prodigy who can be ranked among the Dragon and Tiger must have terrifying combat power!"

"Speaking of which, do you know something?"

"What's the matter? Tell me about it."

"Last night, when Mang Dao was shooting Xue Guangyu, someone saw Fairy Yunmeng through the gap in the Misty Rain Boat."

"Fairy Yunmeng? I must have seen it wrong!"

"Not necessarily. Mang Dao is not only a rookie genius, but also the deputy governor of Northern Cang. He holds a high position of power. With him attending the banquet, it is normal for Fairy Yunmeng to come out and greet him."

"Indeed, this is reasonable."

Several people had their own logical reasoning, and they reacted and agreed. With Mang Dao's status, he naturally received different treatment from ordinary people when attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Fairy Yunmeng is of noble status, but with Mang Dao present, it is not surprising for her to come out to see him.

"Hello one or two? Wrong!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Someone saw Fairy Yunmeng and Mang Dao behaving intimately, sitting at the same table!"

"what!?"

"Fairy Yunmeng? Impossible!"

"Is this true or false?!"

"There are so many rumors about Fairy Yunmeng. They can't be taken seriously! Don't you agree?"

"Yeah, I guess I saw it wrong!"

"."

As soon as the talk about the intimate behavior between Fairy Yunmeng and Mang Dao was mentioned, it was immediately met with a wave of refutations.

If they said they just met, they would still believe it a little, but if they said the two behaved intimately and sat at the same table, they would not believe it.

Fairy Yunmeng had just won the title of Fairy of Flowers, and her status was so precious that even if she wanted to sit at the table, she had to wait until she was married. But even if she was married, it was mostly rumors, and there was no actual evidence.

Therefore, whether it is due to interests or timing, this matter should not have happened.

Although the speaker's words were true, they were ultimately no match for the gossips of the people around them. Just when the matter was about to be over, a few more guests arrived at the restaurant.

From their conversation, it sounded like they had just returned from the Misty Rain Ferry. Seeing this, the people who were discussing the matter naturally invited them to join the discussion.

"Fairy Yunmeng and Mang Dao are behaving intimately?" The newcomers were stunned when they heard everyone's questions.

"Yeah, you guys also think it's impossible!" Seeing the reactions of the few people, the questioner couldn't help but laugh: "I was saying, how is this possible! Fairy Yunmeng is pure and innocent. How could this be possible?"

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by several people in front of him.

"Brother, you don't know yet. It's spread all over the place."

"what?"

"It's not just some intimate behavior, Mang Dao just slept with Fairy Yunmeng!"

"what!"

As soon as the words fell, not only the person who was speaking, but also the people who were listening nearby, all opened their eyes wide, their mouths opened so wide that eggs could be stuffed in them, their expressions were extremely stunned, their faces were full of disbelief, and they all fell into a state of confusion.

Chen Pingan, the Rough Blade, killed the Fairy Yunmeng.
asleep?

this.
"God damned resentful sword!"

"Ahhhh! My Fairy Yunmeng!"

"Where is Mang Dao? I want to find him and fight him to death!"

"Give me back the pure and innocent Fairy Yunmeng!"

"He is still a human being!"

"."

There were many restaurants, taverns, inns and gardens in Canglongzhou City, and the scene was horrific with people howling everywhere.

The Fairy Yunmeng, whom they had been thinking about so much, had met with the murderous hand of Mang Dao!
The fairy in the dreams of many people ended up in the hands of Mang Dao. There were countless people in Canglongzhou who were obsessed with Fairy Yunmeng, but in the end, Mang Dao got there first!

This matter
Countless young men, sons of wealthy families, and wealthy businessmen and gangs had their hearts broken.

The matter was confirmed by Yanyu Huafang herself, leaving no room for any illusions or any chance of turning around.

The bloody reality and the tragic facts are placed in front of countless people who are obsessed with Yunmeng Fairy.

In addition, many pieces of information were circulated, adding more details to the relationship between Mang Dao Chen Ping'an and Fairy Yunmeng.

Like last night, because of the gap on the Misty Rain Boat, many people who witnessed the scene came out and spoke, and their words were meaningful.

Like the Fairy Yunmeng nestling in the arms of the resentful swordsman Chen Ping'an, she has completely changed from her previous pure and noble, delicate appearance, and is now lovable.

Like the Yunmeng Fairy with affectionate eyes, offering wine to the lips of the resentful Chen Ping'an, speaking in a sweet voice, shy and charming, which makes people feel pity for her.

and also
There are many similar words, which are circulated in Canglongzhou City. Many of these words have been artistically processed to ensure that they are popular and talked about.

In addition, there are some people who are quite thoughtful and have used their imagination to fabricate a lot of gossip.

That night of romance with the reckless swordsman Chen Pingan!
Fairy Yunmeng finally fell into the tiger's mouth!

The romance inside the hibiscus tent!
What!? Fairy Qingli secretly
Immerse yourself in the experience and feel the exhilaration of the Rough Blade Chen Pingan.

That night, the fairy came into my arms.

There are many pieces of news, a mixture of true and false, but the truth is also revealed with a touch of romantic charm that makes people unable to stop.

Some people cursed while listening, and some cursed while listening.

Some people's eyes turned red and they were so angry that they wanted to pick up their knives and go to the Canglongzhou Pacification Office.

Some people even wanted to shout: He can replace him! But in the end, they just sighed in disappointment and felt empty.

There is jealousy in anger, and there is envy in jealousy!

A mixture of emotions made the reputation of Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade, resound throughout the entire Canglongzhou City once again.

"Damn you, Mang Dao, give me back Fairy Yunmeng!" In the elegant garden, a young man shouted angrily without caring about his dignity. After venting his anger and recovering his emotions, he said to the storyteller in front of him: "Go on, I'm listening."

"Just now we talked about the 18 ways of playing with the Rough Blade Chen Pingan. Now we are talking about the seventh one. Speaking of which, that night."

A waiter standing nearby was stunned by what he heard. He kept being urged by the manager and didn't move at all. It was not until the shopkeeper came out and scolded him that he reluctantly went out to serve.

"What a rough sword." A listener sighed.

"Fairy Yunmeng."

Some listeners also felt mixed emotions and a sense of emptiness.

Some dreams are theirs, but the reality is Mang Dao's!
"This Mang Dao is really lucky with women." Mu Chenjie put down the accounts in his hand and sneered.

In the past two days, Mang Dao has been very famous, but unlike in the past, this time what is more important is his romantic affairs.

Fairy Yunmeng, who won the title of Fairy of Flowers and was the dream goddess in the hearts of countless people, eventually gave herself to the resentful Chen Pingan.

Countless people were envious and resentful, but for him, it was okay.

Although he was a little envious of Chen Ping'an's good fortune, his overall emotions were under control. After lingering for a while, they quickly dissipated.

No matter how good Fairy Yunmeng is, to him, she is just a courtesan. Although she is famous, she is just like a delicious snack. Although it tastes good, it is not a necessity after all.

As the contemporary prodigy of the Mu family, he has great ambitions and naturally cannot linger on pleasure boats and brothels.

All these wonderful things are just a little spice in his boring life.

Things like being trapped in love affairs would never happen to Mu Chenjie!
Forehead.
Fairy Gu doesn’t count!
Mu Chenjie quickly added in his mind.

Inadvertently, the figure that had been haunting him emerged in his mind. She seemed like a fairy from the Moon Palace, ethereal and beautiful, or like a holy lotus blooming in the clouds, clear and flawless.

Her white clothes were whiter than snow, and she was pure and cool. He could never forget her after just one glimpse of her.

This one glance is for a lifetime!

Mu Chenjie pursed his lips, and suddenly realized that his mind was full of distracting thoughts, and he quickly gathered his mind and stopped his thoughts. If he thought about this noble lady, it would be a defilement to her.

Although he admired her, he didn't dare to touch her at all.

It was just that when he woke up from his dream and his thoughts were in chaos, he would occasionally have some extravagant fantasies. His Mu family and the Xue family were faction allies, and both were contemporary geniuses. If they were lucky, perhaps
Of course, whenever this happened, he would quickly wake up, realizing that all his thoughts were just delusions after all.

With the name of Qingcheng, how could he be worthy of her! Perhaps only a person of royal blood could be worthy of such a Moon Palace fairy.

Or perhaps, such fairies should not have a good husband or match in this world, and living a lonely and arrogant life is their destiny.

But. I really want to.
I really want to kiss the beauty.
The mood that had just calmed down began to become unstable again. Mu Chenjie reacted quickly and stopped his wandering thoughts. His attention soon shifted to Mang Dao again.

To be honest, that day, he was not able to witness the elegance of Mang Dao Chen Pingan.

It’s not that there was no opportunity, but Qingyao was by his side, so he was hesitant and ultimately did not go to see her.

Although this Rough Blade Chen Ping'an is extremely talented and has a high status, he has too many romantic affairs and is not a perfect match for him!

It was not easy to get rid of that guy and stop the little bit of desire in Qingyao's heart. Don't let it fall on Chen Pingan, the reckless knife!

This Mang Dao is not an ordinary person. The little girl Qingyao can't stand it!

Mu Chenjie's mind was flowing and his thoughts were changing. He temporarily let go of the beautiful figure that was haunting his heart.

Fairy
"It spreads fast enough!"

In the room, Chen Pingan shook his head slightly.

During these two days, he did hear some news.

The bulk of the news, naturally, is about him.

The feast of flowers has just ended, and the aftertaste of the Oiran competition is still strong.

He brought Yunmeng, who had just won the title of Fairy of Flowers, into his room. Naturally, this event attracted a lot of attention.

Except for very few areas, people in the entire Canglongzhou city were discussing this matter hotly.

As long as you live in the state capital, whether you are interested or not, you will hear similar discussions more or less.

It has only been two days since the Hundred Flowers Festival. Strictly speaking, it has been less than two days, but the news has spread throughout Canglong City and the popularity is still so high.

Chen Pingan didn't believe that there was no one behind this.

In addition, Yanyu Huafang came forward and confirmed the matter in person, making the matter public as quickly as possible and at the same time suppressing all doubting voices.

According to common sense, if their own courtesan was slept with by someone else, it would be good enough for them not to come out to refute the rumor and keep silent, but they took the initiative to add fuel to the fire. How is this possible! ?
This is an act that goes against common sense. Without the approval of the boss behind the scenes, who in Yanyu Huafang would dare to make such a decision?

So, who is the boss behind the Misty Rain Painting Boat?
The result is obvious. The one who fueled the whole incident was undoubtedly the Canglong Xue family.

From the initial invitation, to the reception in the middle, to the current promotion, they are all part of a series of calculations by the Xue family.

Strictly speaking, this incident did have an impact, but it was not actually that big.

It was just to add one more thing to the romantic affairs of the reckless swordman Chen Ping'an.

just
If we consider that not long ago, the Gu family consciously began to exaggerate the marriage between the Gu family and the reckless knife Chen Ping'an, putting the two things together is undoubtedly exactly what the Xue family wants.

If a series of operations are carried out afterwards, it is not completely impossible for someone to go against his will and betray his morality.

Chen Pingan was well aware of the Xue family's plan and had already prepared a response.

"It's a good plan, but it's a deal that will cost you both your wife and your army. I don't know if it suits your Xue family's wishes."

Chen Pingan smiled but didn't think too much about it.

The things that were hotly discussed and spread among the people were just trivial matters to him.

What he really cares about is, after all, spiritual practice.

In addition, the main reason why he stayed in Canglongzhou City was that the Gu family had opened up the connection with the state pacification department and let him stay here to cooperate with the Gu family to announce the marriage. It is estimated that there will be a banquet when the official announcement is made.

Judging from the Gu family's announcement rhythm in recent days, it is estimated that this time point is around the time of Gu Qingchan's promotion celebration.

The possibility of the first step is not high, and it is unlikely to be simultaneous. There is always a priority for each matter, and the most likely time is after the promotion celebration. Calculating the time, he stayed in Canglongzhou City for at most about a month.

In a month, he might leave Canglongzhou City and return to Northern Cang. After all, Xue Kunsheng's matter has not been dealt with yet.

Although Wang Lingzhi has already dealt with the matter in Beicang, no news has been received yet. Now that his affairs are settled, it would be inappropriate for him to stay in Canglongzhou City any longer.

He had already dealt with the few things that came to Canglongzhou City, so he didn't feel any trouble in his heart.

But after this departure, he didn't know what would happen when he saw his sister next time. In this case, he naturally had to cherish the time he spent with his sister.

In addition, Gu Qingchan's promotion celebration is approaching, and there should be many powerful masters from all over the state coming to the state capital. If there is a chance, he can also have a good look at them.

Look at what kind of people these masters are made of!
Having met in person can also serve as a basis for accurately measuring your own capabilities.

Originally, there was a suitable opponent who could test his accumulation over the past few days. Let's see how many moves a great master who has been famous for nearly a hundred years can withstand under his full strength. And how far can he himself achieve! ?

Unfortunately.
Such a good opportunity was ruined by Gu Qingchan's interference. Although it was for his sake, it was still a little unpleasant.

A rare opportunity to make a move!
"Forget it!" Chen Pingan's mind turned, and he was rarely generous.

For the sake of the Seven Killing Fist and the Tyrant Sword, I will spare this woman and not think about this matter anymore.

The fierce battle on the island in the middle of the lake that night was quite loud. Although there was a lake between them, there should have been people who heard it. The battle between the Grand Masters, such a big event, should have spread throughout Canglongzhou City a long time ago.

But in fact, he had not heard much about this matter. Instead, it was his little romantic affair that caused a lot of trouble.

This matter is rarely circulated among the people, and when it is mentioned, it is quickly suppressed by other voices.

As expected, events of different sizes are spread through different channels. Sometimes, if your status is not high enough, you cannot get access to similar information.

I think that for information on the battle between grandmasters and this level, unless it is a fierce battle in public or an invitation to fight that has been hyped up for a long time, if you want to hear about it, you have to be at least a grandmaster, or have a family status comparable to that of a grandmaster.

However, as an eyewitness at the scene, he had no interest in the information circulating about that war.

During these two days, his main focus was on the practice of the Seven Absolute Divine Arts. In addition, he also studied the recently acquired restricted divine weapon, the Mysterious Light Mirror!
The grade of this Xuanguan treasure mirror had once dropped, and there was a blank inlay on the mirror surface. According to the old man, there was originally a gem embedded in it.

However, it fell and was lost during a great battle of our ancestors, causing its grade to drop drastically. Although it was repaired afterwards, no suitable inlay could be found, so the matter had to be left unresolved.

Of course, this information was not directly said by the other party, but was deduced by Chen Pingan based on the other party's statements.

The other party was the seller, so naturally he couldn't say anything derogatory. On the contrary, the old man had many flattering words for this precious mirror.

Various anecdotes and legends were brought up at random, such as that according to the ancestral secret book, the gem inlaid here was originally called the immobilization bead. When in battle, the magic of the gem would be triggered, and it would have the effect of immobilizing the person. Its power was terrifying, and it could be said to be the top-level restrictive killing weapon!
For another example, although the grade of this Xuanguan treasure mirror has dropped, according to his inference, when this treasure mirror was in its heyday, its grade was almost close to the top magic weapon!
For example, the mirror surface of the treasure mirror has certain effects.
In short, all the words in the conversation are meant to raise the price.

Chen Pingan naturally wouldn't believe such words.

The other things were easy to deal with, like the one that triggered the magic of the gem and had the effect of immobilizing the body, he basically just listened to it and ignored it.

Immobilization effect! ?
What a joke!
If this Xuanguan Treasure Mirror was really so magical in its heyday, even if it only lasted for half a breath, its grade would be unmatched by any top-notch magic weapon.

It is speculated that it is close to the top magic weapon, which is completely contradictory.

What a concept it is to have the effect of immobilizing the opponent during a battle!
The fighting between grandmasters is as fast as lightning. In a blink of an eye, they can exchange dozens or even hundreds of moves.

Even if you can only stay still for a short while, there are so many things you can do.

In a life-and-death battle, if one side is unable to move, the outcome is basically foreshadowed.

Once the magical power of immobilization is triggered, as long as you can hit the opponent, there is basically no need to fight.

Although top-notch magic weapons are powerful, they are definitely not this powerful.

Chen Ping'an performed spiritual sacrifice and actually felt it, and found that the wear and tear of this Xuanguan Treasure Mirror was far more serious than he had imagined.

Fortunately, although it is serious, it can still be used. However, if it is not properly maintained, its service life may not be that long.

After figuring this out, Chen Pingan also understood why the other party was willing to make the deal and why the price he asked for was not high.

According to the wear and tear of this Xuanguan Treasure Mirror, it needs to be maintained after being activated a few times. If it is used continuously, there is a possibility of overload damage.

Which master can endure such trouble?

This thing is not a magic weapon, it's a gold-melting beast!
Fortunately, Chen Pingan did not suffer any loss.

Because he discovered during the ritual that the actual power of this Xuanguan Realm seemed to be stronger than he had understood.

I don’t know if it’s because of his strong spiritual foundation or because of his high level of martial arts.

In addition, as for the problem of wear and tear, with his spiritual power at the Grandmaster level, if he nurtures it well, although it cannot be completely repaired, it can slow down the wear and tear to a great extent.

For him, it would be enough to use this Xuanguan Treasure Mirror for ten to eight years.

With his current progress in martial arts, he would have no idea what level he would be at in ten years.

By then, an ordinary restrictive magic weapon will no longer be of any help to him.

Therefore, for him, the so-called magic weapon only needs to be used well in the present, and there is no need to think so far.

If there was a big battle, he would use his many backgrounds to fight heartily. If there was no big battle, then he would have a smooth transition and gained more time for development.

There are some things that you can do without, but you can’t live without them.

"I will try to refine this Xuanguan Treasure Mirror within ten days to add a little more strength." Chen Pingan said secretly.

With his current martial arts foundation, it was not particularly difficult to refine an ordinary divine weapon. According to his calculations, ten days should be enough.

Speaking of which, if another ten days pass, it will be Gu Qingchan's promotion celebration.

By then, not only the forces within Canglong Province, but also representatives from the surrounding provinces will come. It can be regarded as a grand gathering of great forces and a grand event.

At this critical juncture, I think many representatives of various forces have already arrived in the state capital. Although it has not been announced publicly, the personal connections, forces, gangs, families and sects involved are probably already aware of it.

However, Chen Ping'an had not been to Lianzhou Pacification Office in the past few days, so he naturally didn't know about it.

Come to think of it, Gu Qingchan did invite him to attend her promotion celebration, but the person invited was his pseudonym.

I don’t know whether he will be invited to this celebration given his current relationship with the Gu family.

"First, practice peacefully and wait for the promotion ceremony."

Chen Ping'an's eyes fixed, he stopped thinking and slowly closed his eyes.

hum~
The seven lights flickered, and the room was extremely quiet.

Chen Ping'an's practice of peace and tranquility had just begun, but before he could stay peaceful for long, he was interrupted.

That afternoon, the Gu family's carriage arrived in front of the courtyard gate, and a steward came to invite him to come over for a chat.

The elder of the Gu family, Gu Qingchan, the Master of the Ice Soul Needle, is looking for you!

Considering the current situation, it goes without saying that Gu Qingchan came here this time probably because of the matter of the Misty Rain Painting Boat.

The news of him and Fairy Yunmeng spread throughout Canglongzhou City, affecting the marriage rhythm of the Gu family.

Just as Chen Pingan got on the Gu family carriage and headed for the Gu family, a piece of news about Gu Qingchan and the black-robed old monster was quietly circulated among some high-level channels (End of this chapter)
