Chapter 205 Four Beauties Travel Together (Subscription Request)

In the evening, the streets of Kyoto Prefecture are bustling with activity.

Although there was a drizzle in the sky, it still couldn't stop the increasing number of travelers.

As the grand event of the Wei Dynasty approached, the sects in remote prefectures, the geniuses of the aristocratic families, and the martial artists who came to join in the fun had already arrived in Kyoto Prefecture.

In the east and west counties, the closer the market is to the imperial city, the more wanderers and travelers gather there.

The inns and taverns along the street were crowded, and all kinds of stalls were also surrounded by people.

At the same time, because the curfew was lifted, the Black Armor Guards responsible for guarding the imperial city sent additional personnel, while the two county government offices were on patrol outside.

Even the gold, silver and bronze flag officers of the Night Watch were stationed at various nodes of the formation to prevent possible accidents.

"A new issue of the Tianjiao List has been released!"

"The Heaven Ranking has not changed much. Recently, the Heavenly Prodigies have been in seclusion and no one knows why."

"What else could it be? It's all caused by the evil demons in the martial arts world. I advise you to take a look at the changes in the Earth Ranking first."

"Huh? There are big changes in the top ten of the Earth Ranking. The first one is no longer Xie Dong'an, the grandson of the Left Prime Minister, but Wang Yang, who is also from the Kyoto Academy."

"Uh, why is it that there are only his name, age and origin listed? What about his cultivation level and combat record?"

"If you knew anything about Kyoto Academy, you wouldn't question the ranking of the Prodigy Ranking!"

"Wang Yang is the last disciple of the great master of Kyoto Academy. His noble aura surpassed that of the great scholars in the academy a few years ago. He will be even more terrifying now..."

"No. 2 on the Earth Ranking, Liu Lang, the direct disciple of Sword God Mr. Dongfang, challenged Cangjian Villa with his sword when he first entered the martial arts world, and defeated the owner Yue Wuhen with one sword."

"He is also a fierce man, but I wonder how his sword skills compare to 'Little Sword Immortal' Chen Yi?"

"I bet one copper coin, 'Little Sword Fairy' wins!"

"Third on the Earth Ranking, Dakong Temple Buddhist disciple Fuchen? How could he be possible? Clearly, his ranking was lower than Xie Dongan before!"

"Damn it, the genius from Yushan Sect who was ranked 13th on the Earth Ranking was killed by evil demons in Nanhu Mansion!"

"No wonder his name is not on the Earth Ranking this time... You think that 'Little Sword Immortal' is also..."

"Bullshit! Didn't you see the scene where the 'Little Sword Immortal' left Kyoto Prefecture with his sword two days ago?"

"How could he possibly die at the hands of those evil heretics and demons?"

"Yes, it is said that the sword he slashed that night was not aimed at demons, but slashed away the Wuliang Mountain thousands of miles away!"

"Hiss! Wuliangshan?! Has his swordsmanship become so terrifying?!"

"Who says it's not..."

Amid the discussions of the inns and taverns, several travelers with anxious looks suddenly rushed in, shouting in a frightened voice:
"Everyone, something big has happened - Wuliang Mountain suddenly announced a 100-year closure a few hours ago!!"

The entire inn fell silent in an instant, and everyone stared blankly at the newcomer, with expressions of disbelief and surprise on their faces.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Wuliang Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years as the 'number one in Taoism'. How could it be closed?"

"Yeah, even if they want to close the mountain, they can't do it now, right? At least they have to wait until the event is over."

"I heard that several geniuses from Wuliang Mountain have already arrived in Kyoto Prefecture and are now living near Dakong Temple..."

"it is true!"

Seeing this, the visitor hurriedly explained: "The closure of Wuliang Mountain was announced by the ancestor who lived from the dark ages to this day!"

"Now the entire Hexi Prefecture is in chaos. People from the prefecture, the Night Watch, the noble families, and the various sects have all gone to the gate of Wuliang Mountain."

"I just found out that there is no mountain gate within the ten thousand mile radius of Wuliang Mountain!"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and suddenly lost interest in discussing the "Tianjiao Ranking" and ran out of the inn one after another.

Either to verify whether the matter is true, or to spread the news to more distant state capitals.

"Then, the Wuliang Mountain is closed... I wonder why?"

"I don't know!"

One traveler reacted and hesitated to ask: "Do you think the sudden closure of Wuliang Mountain has something to do with the 'Little Sword Immortal'?"

"hiss--"

Everyone didn't take it seriously at first, but after thinking about it, the more they thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and they couldn't help but gasp.

"Then, the 'Little Sword Immortal' is really..."

"Silence!"

"If this was really done by him, are we too old to discuss this?!"

"Have you all forgotten that he is now in Kyoto Prefecture?"

"For now, let's not talk about it. For such a big event, there will definitely be more detailed news. Let's wait..."

At the same time, outside Dakong Temple, beside Quchi River.

Cruise boats of all sizes were hung with bright red lights as they drifted along the winding pond, enjoying the night view of Kyoto Prefecture in the rain.

Some of these cruise ships have private boats with the surnames of aristocratic families written on them, and on board are mostly children of noble families dressed in fancy clothes, drinking and writing poetry in an attempt to show off their elegance.

Occasionally, a few rich ladies would chime in, accompanied by a few Confucian scholars who looked like elegant gentlemen.

But they are not out of line.

Even if there is a young man who is drunk and behaves recklessly, I can still take a few glances at him.

The other cruise ships and pleasure boats appear even more mysterious.

Apart from the hanging colored lanterns, most of them have no signs, and there are formations protecting them.

Not only was there no sound coming out, but even the people and objects inside could not be seen.

Only when the pleasure boat is docked at the shore can one see dignitaries coming in and out.

Most of them were nobles in casual clothes, with slightly ambiguous smiles on their faces, and they boarded the pleasure boats in twos and threes.

Only when the boat door opened and closed, could one vaguely see a few women in very poor clothing walking around with smiles on their faces, serving each distinguished guest personally.

Yingyingyanyan, so lively.

Xiao Xuanzhen ate a string of candied haws with gusto, looking at the cruise ship sailing in the dark night, and said:
"Junior Sister Xueru, if it doesn't rain, the scenery here is quite nice."

Lin Xueru stood together with the two sisters Flower Fairy and Hua Youxiang. Each of them held a candied haws in their hands and ate it in small bites.

"nice."

Lin Xueru has been staying in the Taixu Taoist Sect since she joined the sect. Apart from Taixu Peak and Jianfeng Mountain, she has only seen the scenery along the road from Jeju Prefecture to Kyoto Prefecture.

Now that she had arrived in Kyoto Prefecture, she suddenly felt that everything around her was extremely beautiful.

"Then you have never seen the streams in Sichuan Province. The boats there are bigger and more sturdy, and there are boat trackers pulling them."

Xiao Xuanzhen turned his head and said mischievously, "There is also the dense forest of the southern barbarians. It feels ancient at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, it seems nothing special."

"But the most spectacular one is Luofu Mountain, and it was Fairy Junior Sister who took us to see it."

"..."

Lin Xueru pouted and said angrily, "Senior Sister, you know, this is my first time going down the mountain."

She really regretted not being able to go to Nanman with Chen Yi that time.

If it weren't for her master Gu Tiangang's repeated requests, she would not have been in seclusion in Qianmo Cliff for so long.

Fairy Flower smiled and said, "Senior Sister Xueru, if you want to go in the future, Senior Brother Chen Yi will be happy to accompany you."

Hua Youxiang glanced at her and said with a smile, "My sister is right. Senior brother will definitely be happy about it."

When Lin Xueru heard Chen Yi's name, her pretty face turned slightly red, but she felt happy in her heart.

Her engagement with Chen Yi had already spread, not only within the Taixu Taoist Sect, but also to many people in the martial arts world.

Even on their way to Kyoto Prefecture, some Taoists who had read "The Ten Great Taoist Immortals" boldly shouted at their carriage.

They said something like "Little Sword Immortal" is not worthy of "Fairy Xueru" and should be smart and cancel the engagement immediately.

When she first heard it, if Chen Yi hadn't pulled her back, she would have wanted to slap those people in the face and let them taste the power of the Taixu Eight Palm Techniques.

break off an engagement?
Lin Xueru felt dizzy just thinking about it.

I can’t imagine what she would be like if Chen Yi really broke off the engagement.

Maybe, perhaps, possibly...she would beat up Brother Yi?
"Okay, okay, there is only Junior Sister Xueru's brother Yi who is the best in the world," Xiao Xuanzhen said with a curled lip.
"Then may I ask Junior Sister Xueru, where is your brother Yi now?"

"He said he would show us around after returning to Kyoto Prefecture, but he hasn't been seen for a few days."

Fairy Flower pulled her and said gently, "Senior Sister, Senior Brother came to the base the day before yesterday, and you were in seclusion practicing at that time."

Lin Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Riyi went to my house first, and then went to the Taixu Dao Sect station."

"..."

Xiao Xuanzhen rolled her eyes. She heard it and tried not to destroy the beauty in the little girl's heart.

"Yes, yes, your brother Yi cares most about you. He came to visit you as soon as he returned to Kyoto Prefecture."

"My uncle and aunt should be very happy, right?"

"Hmm, hmm," Lin Xueru said with a hint of shyness on her face.

"Brother Yi brought gifts, and my father had people prepare wine and food. My mother was also very happy."

"And my second brother... After Brother Yi left, my second brother told me that my father recognized Brother Yi very much."

"..."

Xiao Xuanzhen held her forehead with her hand. She was wrong. She shouldn't have asked this question.

The flower fairy still had a gentle smile on her face, but she couldn't help but recall the day when she brought Chen Yi back to Wangchuan County.

And her parents...

Her father didn't say anything, but her mother noticed something.

Alas, it would have been great if the evil demons from the Baishen Sect hadn’t attacked and killed the Prince of Zhennan.

Perhaps Senior Brother Chen Yi can stay in Wangchuan County for a few more days...

"Sister, what was it like when senior brother came to our house?" Hua Youxiang blinked and asked with a smile.

"..."

The flower fairy secretly pulled her, and smiled at Lin Xueru's curious eyes:
"It's nothing. Senior brother just happened to go to rescue the prince that day."

"What else can I say?" Xiao Xuanzhen snorted, "If I hadn't followed him, he would have gone to the brothel with Senior Brother Changle that night."

Lin Xueru and Flower Fairy looked at each other, smiling as they shook their heads:
"Brother Yi won't." (Senior Brother won't.)
Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the two holding hands like sisters, and asked with some jealousy:
"When did you two become so close? It's obvious that Junior Sister Xueru and I have been together for a longer time."

"Hehe, I won't tell you." The little girl said with a smile.

The flower fairy held her hand tightly, still smiling.

Hua Youxiang felt bored, so she looked around, her high ponytail swinging back and forth.

She held a candied haws in one hand and the hilt of the sword in the other, fearing that passers-by around her would not be able to tell that she was a female knight.

"Sister, how about going to Dakong Temple to take a look?"

Dakong Temple is not far from Quchi. To be more precise, it is adjacent to it. It is the most scenic and comfortable place in the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

Xiao Xuanzhen looked towards the downstream of Quchi, and at several Dakong Temple Buddhist temples built on the mountain, but shook his head.

"Different road non-phase plan."

"In addition, Taoist disciples like me also need visiting cards when we visit Dakong Temple to avoid any trouble." Especially for her, the daughter of the leader of Taixu Taoist Sect, even if she were just out for fun, it would be easy for her to be misunderstood.

It may have some impact on the holy sites of Buddhism and Taoism.

In comparison, students in Confucian institutions have fewer concerns, and it is said that many Confucian students are also converting to Buddhism.

“It is indeed a bit inconvenient.”

Fairy Flower pulled Erhua and said in a voice transmission, "Don't run around. Have you forgotten what you promised Master Gu when you came out today?"

Erhua pouted and replied, "Okay, okay, I won't go."

She just wanted to see the scenery and didn't think too much about it.

But thinking about it carefully, Senior Sister Xiao was right. As disciples of the Taoist sect, it was indeed not suitable for them to go to Dakong Temple.

If only Senior Brother Chen Yi were here... he wouldn't care so much.

Well, to use the words of my senior brother, “The world is so big, there is nowhere that we cannot go.”
At this time, there were not only Lin Xueru and the other three girls by the Quchi, but also many travelers and wanderers.

When passing by, many people would unconsciously look at them, some with a look of amazement, while others were intimidated.

Especially those wanderers who recognized their identities, even if they wanted to make friends with them, they gave up the idea after weighing it.

There are many reasons.

Status and position are one thing, talent and cultivation are another, but more importantly, these people in the world have self-awareness.

Even some of the sons of nobles who came here to play walked away after seeing Lin Xueru.

"The daughter of Duke Xing? The third of the ten great fairies of Taoism. She is so beautiful."

"Brother Yu, why don't you come closer and take a look?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hurt me. Didn't the elders at home tell you to be careful recently?"

"Don't you even consider her status? She's the unmarried wife of the Little Sword Immortal. Do I think I'm too old to get close to her?"

"What are you afraid of? The 'Little Sword Fairy' is not here right now."

"You can go if you want. I'd rather spend some money to go to the pleasure boat to accompany Miss Zi Yan."

"You? If Miss Zi Yan can look at you for a second, I'll take your last name from now on!"

"you said……"

Just then, Hua Youxiang saw three young men in Confucian scholar's clothes walking towards him not far away, and a look of vigilance appeared on her face.

The three of them were looking at them, looking at the direction they were coming from, and it seemed that their target was the four of them.

"Sister, someone is coming."

Xiao Xuanzhen, Lin Xueru and Hua Xianzi looked over when they heard this.

"Is it them?" Xiao Xuanzhen's brows calmed down.

"Who?" the little girl asked puzzledly.

Fairy Flower looked at the person who came and explained in a low voice: "Senior sister, this is someone my brother and I met before in the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm."

"They should all be students from Kyoto Academy. One of them is named Xie Dongan, another is Jiang Ye, and the last one... I don't know him."

Xiao Xuanzhen nodded and agreed, "Junior Brother Chen Yi is more familiar with them. I wonder why they came here."

Lin Xueru looked at the people who came, pulled up the veil around her ears, and gestured to them:
"Xie Dong'an is the grandson of the left prime minister, Jiang Ye is the legitimate son of Jiang Ziqi, the deputy commander of the Black Armor Guard, and the last one should be Wang Yang from the Kyoto Academy."

"Junior sister, how do you know this?" Xiao Xuanzhen pulled up her veil and asked curiously.

The Flower Fairy and Hua Youxiang looked at her with the same curiosity, even though he had clearly acted as if he didn't recognize the person.

"After returning to Kyoto Prefecture, my father and second brother specifically asked me to remember this," Lin Xueru explained:
"They said Brother Yi wouldn't care about these things, and asked me to remember them and remind him when appropriate."

Xiao Xuanzhen and the Flower Fairy sisters looked at each other and thought that they were worthy of being born into a noble family in Kyoto Prefecture.

Regardless of family background, the rules are very detailed.

Of course, from this point, it is not difficult for them to see how much the Lin family values ​​Chen Yi.

At this time, Xie Dongan and three others came over.

"Nice to meet you again, Taoist Xiao Xuanzhen." Xie Dong'an took the initiative to salute and said calmly.

Jiang Ye nodded casually, his eyes falling on Hua Youxiang with interest.

He had met Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi in Nanman, and had long been aware of their relationship with Chen Yi.

Although this was the first time he met Lin Xueru, his family had already told him to be careful about making friends with Chen Yi and others.

If it is not necessary, he is even forbidden to actively communicate with Chen Yi.

For some unknown reason, ever since Chen Yi killed hundreds of thousands of barbarians with one sword at Zhennan Pass, similar "bans" have been heard from every household in Kyoto Prefecture.

It seems that the elders in the family feel that being involved with Chen Yi would violate some taboos.

So after seeing the four women, Jiang Ye's eyes fell on Hua Youxiang, especially the long sword in her hand.

This sword cultivator must be Chen Yi’s fellow junior sister, right?
"Mr. Xie, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Xuanzhen stepped forward and asked in a flat tone.

When she was with Lin Xueru and others, she had the highest status, so she had to come forward first.

This will prevent Lin Xueru, Hua Xianzi and others from being "bullied".

If Chen Yi were here, she would not bother to talk to these Confucian scholars.

After all, it is difficult for her to have a good face with a group of "gentlemen" who claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune and work for the public good.

Wang Yang stopped Xie Dongan from introducing himself, and took the initiative to step forward and bowed, smiling:

"I am Wang Yang from the Kyoto Academy, nice to meet you four junior sisters."

Wang Yang smiled, which he thought was handsome, and said in a refined manner:
"I apologize for disturbing you."

"Since you are so presumptuous, you'd better not disturb us." Xiao Xuanzhen glanced at him and replied bluntly.

When Lin Xueru heard this, her eyes curved with smile.

She was too familiar with Senior Sister Xiao and had known since childhood that she was particularly good at verbal debate.

Especially on Taixu Peak, those fellow disciples were left speechless by what she said.

The only one who can surpass her is Brother Yi... Hehe, Brother Yi is not only merciless in words, but also even more so in swordsmanship.

The Flower Fairy looked towards Qu Chi, showing no intention of talking to the three of them.

Only Erhua and Xiao Xuanzhen kept looking at the three of them, with a slightly cunning look in their eyes.

"Ahem," Wang Yang looked a little embarrassed. He looked at the flower fairy facing him, and asked shamelessly:

"I wonder if Miss Xiao is here for fun? Why don't you join me?"

"It just so happens that the three of us are going to the painting boat to meet with our good friends. They are all our classmates and friends in Kyoto Academy."

Xiao Xuanzhen frowned and looked at him unkindly: "I, Taixu Dao Sect, don't like students from Confucian schools."

"..."

Wang Yang showed some unnaturalness on his face when he heard that. He resisted the urge to scratch his head and looked at Xie Dongan beside him, asking for help with his eyes.

Junior brother, come here!
Although he was the last disciple of Lin Zhongke, a great teacher at Kyoto Academy, he only learned skills at the academy and did not learn how to approach women.

In fact, just after they came out of Dakong Temple, Wang Yang saw the flower fairy beside Quchi at a glance.

At that moment, he seemed to be possessed, and there was nothing else in his eyes except the image of the flower fairy.

Even in his mind, a few sour words emerged.

The clouds are like clothes and the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze blows on the face and the dew is thick. If we had not met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace.

——Love at first sight!

Therefore, Wang Yang found a reason and dragged Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye to the side of Quchi.

Then he found another excuse and "begged" Xie Dong'an to take him to meet some Taoist fairies.

Xie Dongan looked at the "help" in his eyes and sighed in his heart.

He didn't expect that Senior Brother Wang Yang, who was so rampant in the Kyoto Academy, would actually be at a loss for words.

You have to know that this senior brother always looked very familiar with everyone he met in the school.

He treated his junior and senior sisters equally. When they made mistakes, Wang Yang punished them as severely as some of the teachers who were known for their strictness.

Now he is...

Thinking of this, Xie Dongan signaled with his eyes and took the initiative to step forward and said:

"Senior Brother Wang Yang has no ill intentions, and we have no intention of disturbing you."

"Then leave!" Xiao Xuanzhen still said rudely.

Xie Dongan paused, then nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go now."

"But I had an appointment with Brother Yi before. If you see him, please let him know for me."

"Convey what?"

"Tomorrow is the celebration for Chen Yuan's succession to the position of Marquis Jingye. We will all go there then. I hope he can meet us."

At this time, Lin Xueru's beautiful eyes widened, she looked at him in surprise and asked:
"Chen Yuan? Master Xie is talking about Brother Yi's elder brother Chen Yuan? He, he is going to succeed the position of Marquis Jingye?"

Xiao Xuanzhen frowned. She knew that Chen Yi and Chen Yuan had met in the Southern Barbarian Secret Territory, and that the two had a mysterious conversation for a long time.

Even the flower fairy turned her head and looked at Xie Dongan with a slightly inquiring look when she heard this.

She knew very well that Chen Yi valued his brother very much...

Xie Dongan shook his head and said, "The emperor has issued an edict that Chen Yuan has succeeded to the title of marquis this morning."

"Moreover, His Majesty even held a special celebration for this occasion."

"As for the banquet at the Zhou Mansion tomorrow, the old Marquis Zhou Tiance has sent invitations to various families. The Wu'an Marquis Mansion and the Xingguogong Mansion should have received them."

He knew that if he allowed Wang Yang to bother them like this, it would only annoy Xiao Xuanzhen and others.

If you want to make friends with these fairies from Taixu Taoist Sect, the best way is through Chen Yi.

He was very clear about the current status and position of the son of Marquis Wu'an in Taixu Taoist Sect.

However, this is the method, but if Senior Brother Wang Yang has other ideas...

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanzhen, Lin Xueru and others looked at each other, nodded and said:
"I'll tell Junior Brother Chen Yi when I see him."

Xie Dong'an bowed, then turned and left, pulling Wang Yang, who wanted to say something else.

Wang Yang complained in a slightly disappointed voice: "Junior Brother Dong'an, are we leaving now?"

Xie Dongan glanced at him calmly and asked in a voice transmission:

"Brother, tell me honestly, what is your intention in bringing us here?"

"me……"

Wang Yang looked surprised and hesitated to say, "The one standing between Miss Xiao and Duke Lin's daughter is..."

Xie Dongan suddenly replied: "Flower Fairy."

Wang Yang thought of the face he had just seen and felt that this name was worthy of her. A handsome smile appeared on his face:
"Flower Fairy...what a great name!"
