Su Sheng: "This trip to Hundred Flowers Tower is not only to admire the renowned Feng Qiu Yu's skills, but also to meet this reckless madman from the Gu family!"
Feng Qiu Yu felt a tinge of resentment. In Tianqi City, countless wealthy and noble families would pay a fortune to see her, yet it was still difficult.
This ordinary-looking scholar, however, seemed to be distracted even when she was right in front of him.
"Please, Mr. Gu, come in!"
Gu Jian Men eagerly walked inside, but upon seeing that Feng Qiu Yu was only a thirteen-year-old girl, he exclaimed: "Miss, I apologize, I didn't know you were so young..."
Su Sheng: "It seems the reckless Gu Jian Men at least considers himself a man and has decided to leave!"
Gu Jian Men: "Who are you?"
Su Sheng: "We have a master-disciple bond, but the time is not yet right. When the time comes, I will seek you out! Remember, be cautious of internal strife in your family!"
Gu Jian Men was baffled.
He looked Su Sheng up and down repeatedly, finally concluding that he was indeed just a powerless scholar, not even at the First Rank.
So this man wanted to take him as a disciple?
"Do you know that I am Gu Jian Men, disciple of Li, the Greatest in the world?"
"I know. I also know that your family is in Southwest Dao, and your brother is currently in charge, but your family faces not only external threats, but also internal strife. Remind your brother to be cautious of your third and fifth uncles!"
Gu Jian Men: "Hmph! A truly reckless scholar! With you around, my reputation as a madman seems undeserved.
Everyone with connections in Tianqi City knows about my family affairs.
Why are you trying to make a fuss?"
Having thrown out his bait, Su Sheng didn't linger and turned to leave.
Gu Jian Men walked out of Hundred Flowers Tower in a bad mood, and Lei Meng Sha approached him: "Hey, how did it go? Is the girl beautiful? Did you beat that scholar and make a good story out of it?"
Gu Jian Men: "No, the girl is only thirteen years old. I, Gu Jian Men, am a man after all. How could I bully her? I'll wait until she turns eighteen!
By the way, Lei Meng Sha, do you know that scholar?"
Lei Meng Sha: "Just a regular scholar. I don't know him. What about it?"
"Nothing. I just find him annoying. A scholar, yet he's more arrogant than I am!"
"Is there anyone in the world who's more arrogant than you?"
After Gu Jian Men left, Feng Qiu Yu picked up the fallen leaf Su Sheng had left behind. Thinking about Su Sheng's handsome and elegant scholar appearance, she suddenly felt a pang of regret. She should have answered that "little sister" address.
Like jade on the road, a gentleman of the world, some figures, once they enter your heart, are hard to remove!
...
The Marquis of the West Mansion.
Bai Li Luo Chen: "Cheng Feng, you are now at the mid-stage of the Great Unbound Realm, and you've also grasped a portion of sword intent, making you a near-Sword Immortal!
Do you have any plans? Your strength cannot be concealed from the world's experts, nor from the court's eyes!"
Bai Li Cheng Feng: "Father, if it can be concealed, then let it be. If anyone asks, I'll say I've taken a master.
As for my master's identity, I'll say he's not someone known to the world, and he doesn't like to reveal himself!"
Bai Li Luo Chen: "That's good. After all, our Marquis of the West Mansion has two Great Unbound Realm masters, and now you are a near-Sword Immortal. If we don't have an explanation, we'll likely be constantly watched by various forces!"
Let it be so!
"Da da da~"
Suddenly, the entire Tianqi City was engulfed in flames!
Just as Su Sheng returned to the Marquis of the West Mansion, Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing led his men and surrounded the mansion.
Marquis Bai Li Luo Chen and Bai Li Cheng Feng, both clad in armor, strode out of the mansion.
Bai Li Dong Jun was following Su Sheng, staying not far away.
"Master, what's happening?"
"It's nothing, don't worry!"
Su Sheng knew it was the Emperor Tai An's move against Ye Yu. Fearing the bond between the Marquis of the West and Ye Yu, he sent Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing to suppress the mansion.
"Marquis of the West, Young Master, so late, not resting yet?"
Bai Li Cheng Feng snorted coldly: "Grand Supervisor, what a thing to say. You created such a commotion, how could we possibly sleep?"
"Young Master, don't be hasty. Today, His Second Highness Prince discovered evidence of treason against Ye Yu at his mansion.
The Ye family's direct line is to be exterminated, and the rest of the clan exiled!
Before the Ye family's downfall, please, Marquis of the West, restrain yourselves. Don't step outside the mansion, otherwise..."
Zhuo Qing's words carried heavy threats!
The Marquis's face was filled with sorrow. This day had finally arrived!
"This Marquis demands to see His Majesty!"
Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing: "Not allowed!"
Bai Li Cheng Feng immediately drew his long sword: "Hmph, my father is the valiant Marquis of the West. He is sworn brothers with His Majesty. He wants to see the Emperor, and even if it's not allowed, it's the Emperor's say.
How dare you decide?"
Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing: "Whether I can or not, Young Master, are you going to drag me away and let the Marquis leave?"
Bai Li Cheng Feng drew his sword from his waist: "Father, I'll clear the way for you!"
Bai Li Cheng Feng finished his sentence and leaped into the air. His long sword, imbued with overwhelming power, charged towards Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing!
Zhuo Qing practiced the Subtle Concealing Skill, a ruthless and venomous internal power. Those struck by this skill would either turn into blood mist or suffer the torment of its insidious energy, becoming a cripple at best. Throughout the world, only a few individuals could resolve this internal power.
Zhuo Qing's eyes were fierce as he looked at Bai Li Cheng Feng. The Marquis of the West was already a thorn in the Emperor's side, and as someone close to the Emperor, he naturally had to relieve the Emperor's worries.
Zhuo Qing quickly mobilized the Subtle Concealing Skill, but after one strike, his pupils contracted: "The Young Master has grasped sword intent and become a Sword Immortal? No, a near-Sword Immortal!
Unbelievable, father and son both entered the Great Unbound Realm within a day, and in a few days, the Young Master of the West has become a near-Sword Immortal.
Such cultivation talent is rare even across the entire world!"
Bai Li Cheng Feng snorted: "My master taught me well! If you want to fight, then fight. Others may fear you, but I don't!"
The Marquis of the West, the killing god of the army, was someone who would bury an army of ten thousand without a second thought.
And Bai Li Cheng Feng, surpassing his master, was even more formidable!
"My master taught me well?"
Zhuo Qing's pupils contracted. The secret of the Marquis of the West's family's advancement in cultivation was a mystery to the entire world.
Now Bai Li Cheng Feng said his master taught him well?
"Grand Supervisor, the Ye family lineage has all committed suicide to atone for their crimes. The Emperor summons the Marquis of the West to the palace!"
Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing regained his composure, his eyes filled with regret as he looked at Bai Li Cheng Feng.
He wished he had gone all out in that strike and crippled Bai Li Cheng Feng.
Now, he had no chance!
And Bai Li Cheng Feng actually had a master. His previous master, as everyone knew, was only proficient in fast swordsmanship and hadn't grasped sword intent!
But now he has grasped sword intent, which means he has a new master, and this master is even connected to the Marquis of the West and his son's breakthrough!
Who could this powerful individual be, capable of enabling Bai Li Cheng Feng, who hadn't grasped sword intent for decades, to achieve it?
