"Since the Gongye clan and my family have such a deep connection, I will do my best to help." Although she couldn't think of an answer, Gu Qingxi still said cheerfully.
"Thank you, Master Gu. This is the Nine Heavens Artifact Secret. Please accept it." Chi Wanqiu was overjoyed and took out an ancient booklet and handed it to Gu Qingxi.
"No reward without merit. Wait until I repair the Nine Li Ming Xu Sword before giving it to me." Gu Qingxi was a little surprised that Chi Wanqiu was so generous, even more straightforward than herself.
"Anyway, the Gongye clan can't learn it. You may be able to gain some insights by taking it, and then you will be more confident in repairing the Nine Li Ming Xu Sword." Chi Wanqiu said indifferently.
"Okay, thank you very much." After hearing her say this, Gu Qingxi took the booklet generously.
After thinking for a while, he asked in confusion: "Lord Chi, since the Gongye clan can't learn the "Nine Heavens Weapon Art", why don't they just hand it over?
What they want is nothing more than the weapon art. As long as they get what they want, there is no need to make things difficult for the Gongye clan, and you don't have to hide in the Jiuli Mingxu Realm for life and live in fear, right?"
"If only things were that simple." Chi Wanqiu smiled helplessly again, "Back then, that group of people repaid kindness with enmity and had already formed a mortal feud with the Gongye clan. Even if they get the "Nine Heavens Weapon Art", they will definitely wipe out the Gongye clan and eliminate future troubles, and kill them to silence them.
What's more, the Gongye clan can't learn this weapon art. Your fellow senior entered the Tao with the weapon art, and his talent and comprehension are rare in a million years, but he can't learn this weapon art either. I don't believe they can learn it.
It would be fine if they didn't get the "Nine Heavens Artifacts". If they really got it, they would most likely suspect that the art is fake. In order to force the Gongye clan to hand over the real "Nine Heavens Artifacts", who knows what kind of vicious means they would use
. "Gu Qingxi was secretly ashamed, and then she realized that she was naive for a moment, thinking that the cultivation world was still the same as before, and she even wanted to reason with those people who repay kindness with enmity
. In fact, even in the previous cultivation world, there were not so many reasons to talk about, but her strength was there, and others were afraid that she would be unreasonable, so they had to take the initiative to reason with her.
"City Lord Chi, do you know where my fellow senior has gone?" Gu Qingxi asked when Chi Wanqiu mentioned Zhuo Moying again.
"He should have gone to Tianyuan Continent. According to what Master Xuanzu said, it seems that something went wrong with the barrier, which was related to the survival of Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent, so the senior only stayed in Jiuli Mingxu Realm for half a month and hurried to Tianyuan Continent." Chi Wanqiu answered immediately without thinking too much.
Tianyuan Continent... barrier... Gu Qingxi's heart moved.
It was clear that the barrier Chi Wanqiu was talking about was most likely the Tianhen barrier! But I don't know what went wrong that required Zhuo Moying to rush to Tianyuan Continent in such a hurry.
But no matter what, I finally found out the whereabouts of Zhuo Moying. With his strength and the art of refining weapons, he would be able to protect himself in Tianyuan Continent. Gu Qingxi was relieved.
"Gu Daoyou, you should rest for a few days first, and comprehend the "Nine Heavens Weapon Artifact" by the way to see if you can gain anything. I will take you to Jianling Palace in a few days." Chi Wanqiu continued.
Jianling Palace must be where the Jiuli Mingxu Sword is. Gu Qingxi didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said: "Lord Chi, there's no need to be so formal, just call me Qingxi."
"Okay, then I'll call you Qingxi from now on, and you don't have to call me Lord, it's too formal, just call me Sister Wanqiu, of course, calling me Sister Wanqiu is also fine." Chi Wanqiu said generously, and finally showed a shy smile.
Although such a smile appeared on her bright and charming face without any sense of incongruity, a layer of cold sweat still seeped out of Gu Qingxi's forehead: Yes, I admit that you were born young, but after all, you are the mother of such a big child, do you think it's appropriate to pretend to be young like this?
Beside, Gongye Ruoyun covered her face with her hands, and her ears were red with shame.
"Okay, Sister Wanqiu." Gu Qingxi wiped her forehead and tried to return a close smile.
Although she didn't hear Gu Qingxi call her sister, but hearing this sister, Chi Wanqiu was still overjoyed and smiled even more beautifully.
After a brief greeting, Chi Wanqiu led Gu Qingxi to the guest house behind the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiao Yutang also hurriedly set off, following Gu Qingxi step by step.
"Qingxi, is this young man your friend?" Chi Wanqiu noticed Xiao Yutang and turned to ask Gu Qingxi.
"Yes, his name is Xiao Yutang." Gu Qingxi replied.
"It turns out to be Brother Xiao. Sorry, I didn't see you just now." Chi Wanqiu said apologetically.
"..." Xiao Yutang felt a pang of sadness.
Didn't you see me? I followed you all the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, and sat next to Gu Qingxi for a long time. I drank three cups of tea, but you didn't see me!
"Who made you so ugly? You are lucky to follow Senior Gu, otherwise she wouldn't see you even if you stood here for a year." Seeing Xiao Yutang's face full of resentment, Gong Ye Ruoyun said gloatingly.
"Ruoyun, you must not be rude to guests. This Daoist Xiao has a nose and eyes, how can you say that others are ugly? If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of the family rules!" Chi Wanqiu frowned and scolded with a stern face.
Gongye Ruoyun quickly put away her smile and dared not speak again.
Xiao Yutang stared at Chi Wanqiu blankly, but his eyes were even more sad: If the nose is the nose and the eyes are the eyes, it is not considered ugly, then there are probably no ugly people in the world.
Why does he feel that other people's standards for measuring beauty and ugliness are tailor-made for him?
Gu Qingxi looked at Xiao Yutang with sympathy, and the cold sweat that had finally stopped came out again.
It turned out that not only Gongye Ruoyun, but his mother was also a party of appearance, and the problem of valuing beauty over ugliness was even worse than him.
"Lord City Lord, the head of the Meng family just sent someone to deliver a letter." At this time, a guard from the City Lord's Mansion walked in quickly and handed a letter to Chi Wanqiu.
Chi Wanqiu opened it and took a look, and his face changed drastically.
"How dare this old man go so far. My Gongye clan is only tolerant of his Meng family for the sake of our ancestors. Does he really think that my Gongye clan is afraid of them?" Chi Wanqiu threw the letter heavily on the ground and said angrily.
"What happened?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"This is a letter of challenge sent by Meng Chaohai. Half a month later, let the two young masters, Ruoyun and Meng Yuzhou, fight fairly on the Jiuli battlefield.
The entire clan of the losing party will withdraw from the city, and Jiuli City will be completely handed over to the other party. A hundred years later, another battle will be fought to re-determine the ownership of Jiuli City." Chi Wanqiu said with a dark face.
