Gu Xueting had just broken through the Jindan stage and it was time for him to consolidate his cultivation, and fighting was the best way to do that.
He is also a space-type, with powerful combat abilities and unmatched speed. Even if he cannot defeat an opponent, he can always outrun them. He was the leader along the way and he has taken the lives of countless monsters.
After the baptism of battle, his cultivation has stabilized and become more solid, and the sharp edge on his body has also been restrained, making him look more harmless, but more dangerous.
Although Shen Xing is not as good as him, he is not bad either. His tremendous strength has been thoroughly developed during the years of cultivating immortals. He also practices the art of heavy sword. With the heavy sword in his hand, which is as heavy as a thousand pounds, he can often chop a monster in half at a glance. He can be called a walking killing weapon.
Mei Yang, who was following behind the two of them, enjoyed the feeling of winning without any effort.
Shen Xing really disliked her, but because she was the daughter of the sect leader, he couldn't do anything to her. Gu Xueting was also wondering what he was thinking, and he actually acquiesced to her following them, so the three of them formed a very strange team.
Gu Xueting and Shen Xing were killing everyone in the front, and Mei Yang followed behind to act as a support. Although her cultivation was the weakest, she had the most talismans, pills and magic weapons.
Xiao Chen was afraid that she would suffer outside, so he prepared a storage bracelet for her with too many resources.
It can be said that he is a real RMB player.
It took the three of them nearly a month to pass through Xuanzhu Mountain and arrive in the mortal world.
Of course, Xuanzhu Mountain is not directly adjacent to the mortal world. There is a chasm between the two that is impossible to cross with human power. However, in the eyes of the three people who possess flying magic weapons, that chasm is nothing at all. They flew over it in less than a day.
After that, they entered the real mortal world.
Coincidentally, when the three arrived in Bianliang City, it was the Shangsi Festival.
When they left ten years ago, it was just after the Shangsi Festival. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and everything in Bianliang City is strange and familiar.
The Shangsi Festival originated from the ancient Fuxi (pronounced the same as Fuxi) festival. People held sacrificial ceremonies by the water on this day to wash away dirt and eliminate bad luck. Today, this festival has basically evolved into a recreational festival.
The main festival activities include spring bathing, spring outings, banquets and outings, and drinking wine from the waterside. In short, everyone from kings and nobles to ordinary people can gather by the water on this day to play and have fun. It is a day for relaxation for the whole nation.
On this day, men and women wear their most brilliant and gorgeous clothes. If they are attracted to each other, they may get married.
Therefore, this day is also called Valentine's Day, and every year many couples get married on this day.
Along the banks of the Jinming River, the most famous river in the city, you can see pairs of young men and women walking and talking together everywhere, and the beautiful scent of hormones floats in the air.
Children were running around on the grass, flying kites, playing Cuju and shuttlecock, and vendors of all kinds were hawking their wares on the roadside...
Under the bright sunshine, everything seems so joyful and warm. The atmosphere of fireworks in the mundane world, though ordinary, is also moving.
After entering the city, the three people were swept into the warm festive atmosphere.
With a whoosh, a flower flew towards this side. Shen Xing reflexively shot out a sword energy, splitting the flower into seven or eight petals.
A young girl not far away saw this scene and stamped her feet in shame and anger, "What a jerk you are! I didn't give you this flower, why did you break it?"
Shen Xing scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I, I'll give the flower back to you, please throw it again."
He picked up the broken flowers on the ground and performed a rejuvenation spell. The shattered peony recovered in the blink of an eye and became even more beautiful and pink than before.
The girl looked at this scene, so shocked that she couldn't recover. "You, you——"
It is easy for a monk to attract onlookers when casting spells in the mortal world. Today is a festival when so many people gather. It would be bad if it caused a stampede.
Gu Xueting glanced at the girl and cast a spell to capture her soul, making her forget what had just happened. He then put the peony back in her hand.
"Let's go."
The three of them disappeared into the crowd.
The girl came back to her senses, blinked, and looked at the red peony in her hand, feeling that she had forgotten something.
Moreover, how come her peony becomes more beautiful?
Never mind, let’s continue looking for the next target.
Her goal today is to send the flowers back, successfully hook up with the man she likes, and get married!
"Oops!" A teenage boy was so busy flying a kite that he didn't pay attention to the road and accidentally bumped into Gu Xueting.
With Gu Xueting's skills, he could have easily avoided it, but there were people on both sides and he had no way to avoid it, so he simply stood there without moving.
He also supported the young boy in time when he was about to fall to the ground.
"Thank you, big brother." The boy thanked him sweetly.
"Watch the road carefully and don't get hit again." Gu Xueting touched his head.
"Little carp--" Along with the call, a girl like a clear spring among flowers came over. Her appearance was like a ray of light sprinkled into the woods, making the surrounding noise disappear in an instant, and everything became her foil.
The moment she saw her, Mei Yang's heart was shocked. Shen Yizhi! She didn't expect that she would meet Gu Xueting on the first day he came back. What kind of fate is this for them?! She subconsciously looked at Gu Xueting's expression, but found that he looked indifferent and had no special reaction to Shen Yizhi's appearance.
This made her feel relieved.
She said that after so many reincarnations, no matter how deep the feelings between two people are, they will fade.
"Sister!" The young boy, Su Ziling, ran over and held Shen Yizhi's hand. "I bumped into this big brother just now. Luckily he caught me in time, otherwise I would have fallen flat on my butt."
Shen Yizhi pinched his nose and said, "I told you to run slower, but you didn't listen."
She turned her head to look at Gu Xueting, and the moment his face came into view, she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
Oh no, it's a heart-thumping feeling! "Thank you, sir." Shen Yizhi stepped forward and bowed to Gu Xueting.
The moment she approached, Gu Xueting's blood boiled and he smelled the fragrance of her hair. It took him all his self-control to resist the urge to touch her and hold her in his arms.
His heart was surging with emotion, but his face was calm as water, "You are too polite, young lady."
Treat it like any stranger you meet for the first time.
"Junior Brother Shen, let's go." Gu Xueting had already turned around.
Mei Yang hurriedly followed, her sleeves touching his intentionally or unintentionally as she walked, creating an illusion of intimacy.
