Chapter 154 Chief Disciple of Longhu Mountain
Autumn Chrysanthemum Garden.
The chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
At this time of year, the Prime Minister's residence usually holds banquets at Qiuju Garden.
From afar, you could hear the sounds of laughter and cheerful conversation coming from the courtyard.
Shen Jingyun sat beside You Bingyue, a bright smile blooming on her delicate face, tinged with admiration and appreciation: "Miss You, I heard that you captured a notorious bandit a couple of days ago. You are truly a woman who is just as capable as any man."
Several men were also seated in the room: Li Changhuai, the young master of Tianyu Manor; Liu Feiyang, the heir of the King of Yunnan; Li Ming, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Personnel; and a white-clad man whom the others did not recognize.
It was clear that the man in white was not familiar with the people in the room. He simply sat quietly next to You Bingyue, occasionally glancing at her with a tender look that seemed to stretch into silk.
Sensing the man's tender affection, You Bingyue's smile deepened.
A few days ago, after careful consideration, she made a decision—to give up on pursuing Du Ziheng.
Of course, it wasn't a real surrender, but rather a strategic retreat to advance, and then to find a man even better than Du Ziheng to provoke him and make him realize how foolish it was to break up with her.
And this person was none other than Ouyang Shuo, the chief disciple of the Longhu Mountain Dojo, whom she had met by chance a few days ago.
Ouyang Shuo is not only handsome and eloquent, but also highly skilled.
This ability is not a worldly ability, but a metaphysical one.
That's right, Ouyang Shuo is also a master of metaphysics.
Isn't Yu Zhiyi using metaphysics to deceive people and show off her power?
She'll find an even more powerful metaphysical expert, determined to crush her underfoot.
The reason why Du Ziheng was unwilling to give up Yu Zhiyi was simply because she was highly skilled and could bring benefits to the Du family.
Once she shatters this filter, Du Ziheng will surely be able to wake up.
and……
Thinking of Yi Luan's charity, You Bingyue's eyes darkened.
Du Ziheng's friends almost all know her and treat her very well, especially Shen Jingyun. If he hadn't always claimed that he only had his fiancée in his heart, she would have doubted whether he liked her.
But later, You Bingyue realized that this person was just shipping couples.
Even so, her self-esteem was greatly satisfied.
After Shen Jingyun flattered her a few more times, You Bingyue said, "This is not just my achievement; it's all thanks to Brother Ouyang."
Upon hearing the affectionate address of "Brother Ouyang," Shen Jingyun immediately became alert and asked, "Oh? Has this Young Master Ouyang also been credited with catching a thief?"
You Bingyue wanted this kind of attitude from the CP fans. As long as she ruthlessly tormented the fans, she might be able to turn the other party into her die-hard fan in the future.
Wherever she points, the other side fires.
As if oblivious to Shen Jingyun's displeasure, she laughed and said, "Brother Ouyang is the chief disciple of Longhu Mountain. He is young and promising, and his cultivation is unfathomable. He can easily see through a person's life. We encountered that thief on the road. Brother Ouyang only glanced at him and saw that the man had taken hundreds of lives on his back, yet he had no public morality. He was either a spy from an enemy country, a wanted criminal of the imperial court, or a bandit."
She showed just the right amount of admiration: "When we caught them, they were about to ambush and kill a merchant couple."
Shen Jingyun looked at Ouyang Shuo in astonishment: "So amazing?"
At this moment, Li Ming asked, "Isn't Madam Du famous for her mystical arts? She was even favored by His Majesty because of this skill and was exceptionally appointed as a physician. I wonder, between Young Master Ouyang and Madam Du, who is more skilled?"
Yu Zhiyi happened to hear this sentence when she entered Qiuju Garden.
Those who can rival her must also be accomplished in metaphysics.
A thought suddenly occurred to her.
In her previous life, she had met some skilled people on the battlefield, most of whom were strategists hired by the enemy.
The most outstanding among them was the strategist of the Great Luo Empire, a guy who even she found extremely troublesome.
However, she didn't meet other mystical practitioners in her previous life until several years later.
I never imagined that my life would come so early.
etc.
She encountered a heretical cultivator during the day, and then met a mystic at night?
Is it really such a coincidence?
There's no need to search further; the other person's aura is too unique, standing out like a crane among chickens among a group of ordinary people.
Yu Zhiyi easily found the young man in the blue robe.
Coincidentally, the other party also looked over.
Their eyes met, and in an instant, lightning flashed.
An invisible force flowed between the two, creating a tense standoff.
Although others could not see this power, they felt an invisible pressure.
Shen Jingyun couldn't help but hug her arms and rub them: "Why do I suddenly feel a little cold?"
Yu Zhiyi was the first to look away, her expression calm and composed, with a perfectly timed smile on her face: "It's probably because it's cold."
Ouyang Shuo frowned.
In such a subtle contest, whoever withdraws first is the loser.
However, the situation was different between him and Yu Zhiyi.
As the chief disciple of Longhu Mountain, he was well aware of his own strength.
He had heard Yue'er mention it before, saying that Yu Zhiyi was quite capable.
But he didn't take it to heart.
There are many more mystical practitioners in this world than just the two of them.
Orthodox esoteric practitioners almost all gathered at Longhu Mountain.
Even those special cases who did not come to Longhu Mountain all had their own sects, and all of these sects followed the lead of Longhu Mountain.
He remembered every disciple whose name he could recall.
But I've never heard of anyone with the surname "Yu".
This shows that the other party is an unorthodox practitioner.
Being from an unorthodox background not only signifies being unconventional, but also indicates a lack of skill.
After all, most of the powerful martial arts techniques in this world are kept in the scripture pavilions of major sects and are almost never circulated outside.
Therefore, he looked down on Yu Zhiyi.
But to his surprise, his opponent was not at all at a disadvantage under his pressure.
In a sense, he had already lost because he, a traditional cultivator from a non-traditional background, was unable to completely overwhelm his opponent.
I never expected the other party to be so determined!
If Yu Zhiyi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes.
She didn't feel any pressure or coercion whatsoever.
She could tell at a glance that the other party's cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
She, however, had not refined those golden lights of merit today, and her cultivation level was one small realm higher than his.
The other party tried to exert pressure on her, which felt like a baby staring at an adult with what it thought was a fierce look.
Intimidation?
It does not exist.
She didn't feel it at all.
You Bingyue did see through some of the tricks of the trade.
She thought Yu Zhiyi would be forced to make a fool of herself by Ouyang Shuo, but to her surprise, the other party was completely unharmed. She gritted her teeth and suddenly broke into a bright smile: "Mrs. Du, I have offended you in the past. I have given up on Ziheng. I hope you and your husband can live in harmony and respect each other."
She took a step back and proactively brought up the matter of breaking up.
These words indeed drew sympathy from his friends.
