The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 280 Guo Jing is good at picking up girls, and Huang Rong can’t stop him!
The spacious restaurant lobby was bustling with people.

The women in white were laughing and joking while admiring the good things that the people around them had brought out. They could often give precise comments with just a few words.

It can be seen that these women are knowledgeable and have wealthy family backgrounds!
Many men looked at those beautiful women who behaved a little bit wantonly, their faces blushing, their eyes infatuated, and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

In another corner, Guo Jing saw that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and his mother seemed to be in an "abnormal" state, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Looking around, he saw Xu Xingchen's eyes were clear and his expression was leisurely, as if he was not affected at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly, "Master, what happened to them?"

"Don't worry." Xu Xingchen picked up the only dish on the table with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few bites, and after swallowing it, he commented: "This dish tastes pretty good!"

Seeing Guo Jing still staring at him blankly, Xu Xingchen knew that this boy would not let it go until he got an answer, so he smiled and said, "The fragrance of those women in white has a mesmerizing effect. Those people fell for it."

Guo Jing was shocked. He turned around and saw that his mother and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were still in a trance, as if they had not heard what Master Xu said at all. He was even more shocked: "Master, my mother and the seven masters..."

Xu Xingchen put down his chopsticks: "Try to call them."

Guo Jing quickly touched Li Ping's arm and called softly, "Madam."

Li Ping turned around and said with a smile: "Jing'er, what's wrong? You saw those women in white, right? They smell really good. It would be great if you could marry one of them!"

Guo Jing couldn't help blushing when he suddenly heard his mother mention his marriage. When he saw his mother turning her head to look at the women in white again, his heart skipped a beat.

Guo Jing tried to call the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, and everyone's reaction was normal. Everyone recognized him and could talk to him normally.
However, after they finished talking to Guo Jing, their gazes would turn back to the direction of the women in white, and they would stare at them with fascination.

Guo Jing was helpless, and finally turned his gaze to Xu Xingchen again: "Master, why didn't you and I get into this trap?"

Xu Xingchen smiled and said, "That's because the inner strength I taught you can resist these things."

"Don't worry, your other masters and your mother are all fine. If those women really dare to have any evil intentions towards us, they are seeking death."

Only then did Guo Jing feel relieved.

After the group of women appreciated the treasures on everyone in the restaurant, they purchased a few and returned the rest to their owners.

During this time, several women looked towards Xu Xingchen's table frequently, and were surprised to see that the silly boy was not charmed.

The farce ended with the departure of the woman in white.
Afterwards, the speed at which the meals for their two tables came up became much faster. It was not known whether it was because the chef in the back finally freed up his hands, or because the waiter serving the dishes came to his senses.

After eating and drinking, when leaving, Xu Xingchen looked curiously at the merchants who sold their "treasures" at a low price. Seeing that they were still beaming with joy, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The effect of the medicine is really long-lasting."

As they stepped out of the door of the restaurant lobby, a gust of wind blew, and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Li Ping looked dazed for a moment, then their eyes became clear.

But they didn't seem to notice the strangeness that had happened to them before. They continued to talk and laugh, walked to the backyard, untied the ropes that tied the horses, and climbed on the horses.

During this time, Guo Jing, who had been observing closely, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he thought with some fear: "The tricks used in the martial arts world are indeed sinister, treacherous and terrifying. People can be tricked without knowing it. I have to be more careful in the future."

After leaving the market, Xu Xingchen suddenly remembered something and pulled the reins abruptly.

Seeing this, the others also pulled the reins and stopped their mounts.

Seeing this, Guo Jing asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong?"

Xu Xingchen glanced at Guo Jing, then said to the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Li Ping: "Everyone, Jing'er has grown up and now has returned to the Central Plains. I think it's time for Jing'er to go out and explore the world on his own!"

"what?"

"what?"

"Mr. Xu, why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?"

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Li Ping were all surprised, and Guo Jing was even more confused.

".I did this because Guo Jing will meet the love of his life on the next journey."

"If we continue to follow him, he might miss this fate."

Xu Xingchen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, so he naturally couldn't say that. He just said, "I just want him to go to Jiaxing alone to gain some experience in the martial arts world."

Then he added: "Don't worry, everyone. Jing'er's martial arts are not weak. Moreover, the internal skills I taught him have strong resistance to various poisons. Ordinary people can't plot against him."

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were all people who had been in the martial arts world before, and they knew the importance of traveling the world and accumulating experience. After hearing such a suitable reason, they nodded and agreed. Although Li Ping was a little reluctant, she had fled north alone and experienced countless hardships. Her tenacity and open-mindedness were far beyond the reach of ordinary women. After thinking about it, she agreed.

So, Guo Jing, with a look of reluctance on his face, set off alone on his horse.

When Guo Jing walked away, Xu Xingchen said to the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan: "Everyone, it's time for us to say goodbye temporarily."

"I will follow Jing'er and protect his safety in secret."

"Please escort Madam Guo back to Jiangnan. We will meet at Zuixianlou in Jiaxing before March 24th."

This time, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had no reason to refuse, so Li Ping felt relieved.

The team split up
Xu Xingchen did not ride a horse either. He put his feet on the ground and measured the earth with his footsteps. He was leisurely and fast, following Guo Jing from a distance.

Guo Jing rode the little red horse forward and soon came to a narrow mountain path.

The mountain road here has towering cliffs on one side and a bottomless abyss valley on the other. The terrain is quite dangerous and you must be careful if you want to pass safely.

However, at this moment, in the middle of the road ahead, a dozen women in white riding white camels blocked the way.

Because of his master's reminder, Guo Jing was quite wary of these women.

He stopped the little red horse and asked why the other party was blocking the road.

The women smiled sweetly and said they wanted Guo Jing to give them his little red horse.

How could Guo Jing agree to such an unreasonable request since he was not affected by their intoxicating fragrance?

Seeing that communication was not going well, he spurred his horse forward.

The little red horse was also quite competitive. With a leap, it flew over the heads of the women.

Such amazing jumping ability surprised even its master Guo Jing. He could not help but exclaim: As the little red horse grows, it will show more and more magical things.
As soon as the four hooves touched the ground, he immediately slapped the little red horse's butt and rushed forward quickly.

Faced with an enemy like the woman in white, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he just ran away.

When they were halfway through the run, a dozen white camels rushed out from the woods nearby.

The white-clad women on the backs of the white camels shouted at Guo Jing to stop, and raised their hands to shoot out sharp hidden weapons.

Guo Jing was already wary of them and didn't dare to use his hands to catch the hidden weapons, for fear that they were coated with poison.

He took off his hat and turned the brim outwards, like a baseball goalie, and put all the hidden weapons into the hat.

When the little red horse got rid of the women riding white camels at an astonishing speed, he finally had the mind to look down at the hidden weapons in his hat. He found that they were all hidden weapons with sharp front ends and sharp sides, and the edges had a light blue luster.

If he used his hands to catch them, these hidden weapons would most likely cut his palms, and the unknown poison on them would take the opportunity to enter.
Guo Jing grumbled a few times in fear, seeing that the entire hat was filled with those hidden weapons, it was impossible to wear it on his head again; it happened that they came to the bank of the Yellow River and the weather had warmed up, so they found a place and threw the hat and all the hidden weapons inside it down the cliff.

Xu Xingchen, who was walking leisurely on the cliff, saw how Guo Jing handled the situation and nodded, thinking: "The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are quite good at teaching these martial arts experiences."

at dusk
Guo Jing entered another market and while dining in a restaurant, he saw a short beggar at the door and felt sorry for him, so he generously paid for the meal.

From then on, he and Huang Rong officially met.

No one knew how this kid chatted with the little beggar disguised as Huang Rong, but they became very familiar with each other in half a day. When Huang Rong was leaving, he even gave her clothes, money, and even his little red horse without hesitation.

When Xu Xingchen, who was following behind, saw that scene, it was as if he saw his own son who was in elementary school, secretly taking away all the snacks from home, his mother's gold necklace and other things in his schoolbag, and then giving them to the girl sitting next to him.

Although I had expected this scene, I was still quite upset.

Xu Xingchen grew up watching this naive boy Guo Jing, and never knew that he would be so good at picking up girls. But after meeting Huang Rong, who was pretending to be a little beggar, it seemed as if he suddenly became enlightened and learned everything without any guidance.

After much thought, he could only attribute all these actions to the word "fate"; otherwise, according to normal logical thinking, Guo Jing would never have done such an unreasonable thing.

————And this was under the premise that he didn’t know that the little beggar was a woman.

When the little beggar left the market on his horse, the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River and a middle-aged man with a strange appearance blocked Guo Jing's way.

The middle-aged man was about fifty years old, thin, and had three large tumors on his forehead, which was particularly ugly.
