Chapter 2: Night Visit to Prince Zhao's Mansion

[Defeat Wanyan Kang, the young prince of the Sixth Prince's Mansion of the Great Jin Dynasty in a duel and be rewarded with 200 Jianghu Reputation points.]

[Reputation Level Increase: Unknown (50/100) => Newcomer (250/500)]

The system prompt appeared in front of him, and Gu Ping'an took a glance.

Although Yang Kang's martial arts are better than the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River, he has never shown it to the outside world. Having a reputation value of 200 is considered satisfactory.

At this time, Peng Lianhu and the other two had already surrounded them.

What should we do in this situation?
Zhu Cong, the "Miraculous Scholar", has a famous saying: If you can't beat them, run away!
These three people were all masters who had been famous in the martial arts world for a long time. Gu Ping'an knew that he was no match for them, so he withdrew without hesitation.

He is not Guo Jing, the son of destiny, who always has noble people to help him in times of crisis. If he is really besieged by them, he will probably be skinned alive if not killed.

The three men did not expect that the boy who had been fearless just now would run away as soon as he said he would. He flew away and was dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye.

"Little boy! Where are you running to?"

Peng Lianhu was furious and ran after him, with Master Lingzhi and Liang Ziweng also hurriedly following. However, the injured young prince was still lying on the ground, with only two attendants guarding him.

The first time they accompanied the little prince out, they failed to protect him properly, and even the culprit escaped. The three of them were already furious at this moment, and they used their internal energy to chase him all the way, but suddenly found that they were getting farther and farther away, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.

How come this kid is so agile?

The light-body martial art that Gu Ping'an used was called "Stepping on the Three-fold Clouds", which was the reason why he dared to teach Wanyan Kang a lesson in public and still escape unscathed.

The system's novice gift package gives you ten consecutive draws. In addition to an orange top-quality card "Xiao Feng", there are also two purple premium cards, namely "Cheng Ying" and "Tian Boguang".

The martial arts randomly obtained by the "Cheng Ying" card is Huang Yaoshi's unique skill "Finger Magic", but the level is only "comprehensive", which is far inferior to the "Taizu Changquan" of "returning to nature".

The stone that hit Wanyan Kang's back of the hand was shot by him using the "Finger Magic" technique.

As for what was obtained from the "Tian Boguang" card, it was naturally the "stepping on the three-fold cloud" of the "reaching the pinnacle" realm.

This famous flower thief has committed countless crimes over the years but has never been caught. He even earned the nickname "Walking Alone for Thousands of Miles", which shows how powerful his Qinggong skills are.

Now, with this lightness skill, not to mention Peng Lianhu and the other two, even the "Iron-footed Immortal" Wang Chuyi, who has the strongest lightness skill among the Seven Quanzhen Masters, would not be able to touch a corner of his clothes.

After about half a cup of tea, the pursuers behind him had disappeared. Gu Ping'an patted the dust off his clothes and pushed the door open to walk into a small courtyard.

Since he traveled to the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes three days ago, this place has become his home.

"Are you back safely?" An old voice came from inside the house.

The lighting in this room is very poor. Even though it is not dark yet, the room is pitch black.

"It's me, mother-in-law." Gu Ping'an responded softly.

The original owner was also a poor person.

He lost his mother at a young age. His father was a porter in a nearby escort agency. Their life was not rich, but it was acceptable.

But when he was fifteen, he fell seriously ill for unknown reasons. Since then, he has been in a daze all day long and can't even speak clearly.

Many quack doctors came and went, but no one could understand what was happening. They just thought he was suffering from the soul-separation syndrome, that he had lost his soul and spirit, and would be a fool all his life.

Hemp ropes always break at the thinnest part, and misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate.

A while ago, his father had unfortunately contracted a serious illness while on a convoy mission and died in a foreign land, leaving behind him and his blind grandmother. If it weren't for the present-day Gu Ping'an who traveled through time, the grandfather and grandson would probably not have survived this winter.

The old grandmother was weak and listless. She talked to Gu Ping'an for a while, and then went to bed early after dinner.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier. Looking around, everything was covered with white. Gu Ping'an saw that it was almost time, so he tiptoed out of the door.

It was late at this time and there were no pedestrians on the road. He used the light-weight skill of "stepping on the three-fold cloud" to walk on the snow and soon arrived at the gate of a royal palace.

The Jin people also paid attention to grandeur. In front of the vermilion gate, there were towering flagpoles on both sides, and two mighty and ferocious jade lions were sitting cross-legged beside the gate. In the middle hung a plaque with three golden characters "Zhao Wangfu" inscribed on it.

The King of Zhao is none other than Wanyan Honglie, the sixth prince of the current Jin Dynasty, and Wanyan Kang's adoptive father.

This was exactly part of his plan. Injuring Wanyan Kang and taking Peng Lianhu and the other two shopping were all preparations for this.

Being able to stand on equal footing with such long-established masters as "Old Monster Shenxian" and "Dragon King of Ghost Gate", and being a guest of Zhao Wang's Mansion, he must have earned a lot of fame in the martial arts world.

As for reputation, there is no distinction between good reputation and bad reputation.

At this time, someone came to the gate of the palace. The two guards thought he was a homeless beggar and immediately stepped forward to drive him away.

"Go, go, go! Where did this little beggar come from? Don't you see where we are?"

Gu Ping'an ignored the guard's scolding and swayed his body slightly, cleverly avoiding the arms extended by the two men.

"I'm not begging. I just heard that Prince Zhao's palace is looking for talented people, so I came to see you. Please let me know."

Anyone who could serve as a guard in the palace must have learned martial arts. When Gu Ping'an slightly displayed his skills while dodging, the two of them noticed his extraordinary ability and immediately sent one of them back to report.

Not long after, the guard hurried back, his expression more respectful, and said to Gu Ping'an: "My prince invites you, sir, please follow me."

Gu Ping'an nodded slightly and followed the guards into the palace. They walked through several corridors with carved beams and painted buildings, and around several rockery and ponds before reaching the main hall.

The hall was brightly lit and magnificent. In the middle sat a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with an imposing demeanor. Although Gu Ping'an had never seen him before, he could guess that this man was Wanyan Honglie.

"I heard that you came here specially to visit me. I wonder if you have any advice for me?" Wanyan Honglie's voice was steady and his eyes were gentle, but they concealed a subtle scrutiny.

Gu Ping'an, neither humble nor arrogant, bowed and said, "I am Gu Ping'an. I have long heard that the Zhao Palace is open to recruiting martial artists. The prince is also known for his respect for the wise and humble. I have come here to recommend myself."

"It's true that we're recruiting talented people, but considering your age," Wanyan Honglie said with a playful smile, "is it possible that your only skill is boasting?"

Gu Ping'an's expression remained calm: "Your Highness, why don't you take me to meet the masters around the young prince? We'll know if I have the ability or not."

"Okay!" Wanyan Honglie nodded immediately, "Follow me!"

After walking through the corridors and around the painted buildings for a long time, we finally arrived at the flower hall of the palace.

Wang Chuyi had just escaped with Guo Jing, and Wanyan Kang and a group of experts were discussing how to buy all the medicinal herbs needed for his treatment.

"I've met my father!"

When he saw Wanyan Honglie, he immediately stood up and saluted, but suddenly saw Gu Ping'an following behind him.

"It's you?!"
