Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Once the silver was gone, the people in the casino scattered like birds and beasts. Some lamented that the silver they had earned by kowtowing was not enough, while others were relieved that they could finally get a good night's sleep.

Money shines, the sky shines, and people naturally need to shine too.

Xuanyuan Sanguang was still awake, because he saw Xiaoyuer. Old friends meet again, and naturally they had a lot to talk about.

Xuanyuan Sanguang laughed loudly, "Little Fish, I never expected to run into you in a place like this."

Little Fish laughed and said, "At least you didn't force anyone to gamble with you this time."

Xuanyuan Sanguang said, "I've gambled enough, I've really gambled enough this time. I won't gamble with anyone for at least half a month... no, at least seven days."

Jiang Fengyue shook her head helplessly.

When the three Murong sisters arrived, those burly men in brocade robes carried boxes by hand; now that they're going back, they have to use a cart to carry the silver.

Black Spider got into Murong Jiu's sedan chair, while everyone else, including the three Murong sisters, walked on the ground.

Xuanyuan Sanguang also knew about Murong Jiu and Black Spider, so he planned to go with the group to get a free drink at their wedding.

Black Spider and Murong Jiu plan to get married in this small town.

Because it was in this remote and impoverished area, it wouldn't have been a problem even if Xuan Yuan San Guang, one of the Ten Evils, had appeared at the table.

Originally, the three Murong sisters were determined to go back, but later changed their minds, simply because most of the people Murong Jiu and Black Spider knew were already here.

The three Murong sisters, being from prominent families, ultimately looked down on others and felt that Black Spider was not worthy of being presented to the public.

If the wedding were to be held in a proper and grand manner, prominent figures from the martial arts world would inevitably come to see what kind of remarkable person the Ninth Miss of the Murong family had chosen, and what kind of good son-in-law Murong Jiu had finally chosen after so long without getting married.

Although the Murong family will no longer interfere with Murong Jiu's happiness, they are naturally concerned about their reputation. Black Spider is neither talented nor beautiful, and it is inevitable that she will be ridiculed by the Murong family's relatives and friends.

Some rich kids and heiresses have nothing better to do than wait to see others make a fool of themselves.

Black Spider has always been a loner. Although he likes to acknowledge others as his elder brothers, he doesn't have many friends. The only ones who are truly loyal to him are Xuan Yuan San Guang and Xiao Yu Er.

Now there's one more person who's good to him. When Jiang Fengyue heard that they were getting married, she gave away all the silver she had won as a wedding gift.

Xuanyuan Sanguang patted Jiang Fengyue on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Damn it, I thought it was rare to see someone like me who treats money like scrap metal, but I didn't expect that you would treat money so casually. I really admire such a magnanimous person."

Jiang Fengyue smiled slightly and said, "I was just a bit lucky. The initial betting money was provided by the Murong family, so it's reasonable for me to return the winnings."

Xuanyuan Sanguang laughed and said, "Well said. Anyway, I'm the kind of person who can't keep money, and I'm not good at keeping money. If I had money, I would definitely gamble it all away."

The matter concerning Black Spider and Murong Jiu began on the second day.

Bright red lanterns were lit inside the long shed. In this remote and impoverished place, a grand celebration was suddenly taking place, so naturally, many people came to join in the fun.

However, these people who came to join in the fun all became guests at the banquet.

Later, more people came after hearing the news, simply because they heard that there was free yellow wine and white wine, and plenty of fish and meat at the banquet.

However, the people at the banquet had drunk quite a bit of wine, and none of them had seen what the bride looked like yet.

The banquet was set up beside a large river, on which three brand-new official boats were moored. Maids were constantly going in and out of the cabins.

The real bride and groom were actually in the cabin of one of the large official ships.

The locals who were invited to the wedding were simply there to add to the festive atmosphere.

Jiang Fengyue and her group sat at a table in the cabin.

Whether it's Jiang Fengyue, Xuanyuan Sanguang, or Xiaoyuer, they are all great benefactors to the newlyweds today, so they naturally deserve to sit at the front table in the cabin.

The cabin was also lively. Although the Murong family's relatives and friends were not invited, all of the Murong family's daughters and sons-in-law were present.

As the older sister, she naturally hopes to see her younger sister get married.

After the ceremony, Murong Jiu and Black Spider sailed back home. Their journey had been arduous and full of hardships, and all they wanted was peace and quiet.

The ship they sailed away was now peaceful, but the ship Jiang Fengyue was on was anything but.

Just because an uninvited guest arrived on the ship, the people on board felt a gust of cold wind and a dark shadow constantly flashing.

Jiang Fengyue frowned. Although this person's lightness skill was not as good as hers, he was dressed in black and seemed too short, which made him look very strange.

"Check-in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained the secret martial arts ninjutsu."

Jiang Fengyue thought to herself, "Now that Ghost Child has arrived, those experts who have returned from overseas will naturally not be too far away from here."

When Murong Shuang saw someone disrupting her sister's wedding, she, being the most skilled martial artist in the Murong family, jumped out and shouted, "Who goes there!"

The ghost child then stopped his light-footed technique and revealed his true form.

When everyone saw him, they couldn't help but gasp, because he was so short, less than three feet tall, which was considered small even among dwarfs.

But dwarfs are usually strange-looking and deformed, but the Ghost Child is different. His limbs and facial features are very well-proportioned, his face is handsome and clear, and he even has a few white whiskers, making him look somewhat otherworldly.

His attire was also strange, neither Taoist nor secular. He wore a short, bluish-gray robe, and a short sword was tucked diagonally behind his back. It was a few inches shorter than the daggers used by others, and looked like a child's toy.

The ghost child bowed and said with a grin, "I came here upon hearing of the banquet. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."

Jiang Fengyue thought to herself that the so-called "coming to the banquet" was just to pave the way for those who would come later.

Murong Shanshan, the third daughter of the Murong family, stepped forward and suddenly said, "I heard about a remarkable person in the martial arts world when I was young. Today I finally get to see his talent."

Murong Shuang exclaimed in surprise, "The extraordinary person that Third Sister is talking about is known as..."

Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "Ghost Child."

Ghost Child laughed heartily, looking at Jiang Fengyue with an appreciative expression, and said, "Not bad, you're quite straightforward, kid. I'm already used to the name Ghost Child. When I hear someone call me that, I'm not angry at all. On the contrary, I think it's a pretty good name."

Jiang Fengyue smiled slightly; this person who had lived overseas for so long was indeed broad-minded.

The moment the name "Demon Child" was mentioned, many people at the table paled, because they had heard of him when they were young. This person not only had extremely high lightness skills, but was also said to be the sole inheritor of the "ninjutsu" of Iga Valley on Fusang Island in Japan.

Because of his short stature and the special skills he had learned, if this little devil wanted to hide under a chair and eavesdrop on other people's secrets, no one could find him.

He became famous fifty years ago, but disappeared from the public eye thirty or forty years ago. It is said that he went to Fusang Island overseas, because the people there are also short in stature, and the ghost child would be happier living in such a place.

Now he has reappeared.

Such a person would actually come to join in the fun at the Murong family's small banquet.

Murong Shuang frowned and said, "I have long admired your name, senior, but the gifts have already been presented and the meal is halfway through. There is nothing left to offer you."

The demon child laughed, "You must be very curious as to why an old monster like me would appear here."

Murong Shuang said, "I wouldn't dare."

The ghost child said, "I've come here to find someone."

Murong Shuang asked, "Who is it?"

The ghost child said, "Tie Xinlan."

Sitting listlessly next to Hua Wuque, Tie Xinlan looked up immediately when she heard someone call her name.
