"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Fellow Daoist Gu Qingxi. It is thanks to her help that Ruoyun was able to advance to the God Transformation Realm in just half a month." Without waiting for anyone to ask, Chi Wanqiu said loudly.
"It is also thanks to Senior Gu's guidance that I was able to learn such sword skills and win this victory." Gongye Ruoyun also said with gratitude.
Although he suffered a lot under Gu Qingxi's hands these days, he also knew that if it were not for Gu Qingxi's deliberate guidance, his sword skills would never have improved so much.
Even if he was promoted to the God Transformation Realm, he would never be a match for Meng Yuzhou.
I understand. It turns out that the young city lord can have such a cultivation, such a sword skill, and such a drastic change in temperament, all thanks to Gu Qingxi. No wonder the city lord and the young city lord would show such a great courtesy to her.
Looking at Gu Qingxi's young and beautiful face in the spectator booth, the citizens around were in awe and at the same time deeply grateful. They put one hand on their chests, bent down deeply, and paid the highest respect to her.
It was indeed her! If he had known this, he should have gotten rid of her at all costs. Meng Chaohai finally confirmed his previous guess and regretted it so much that his intestines almost turned green.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. The competition was over. Even if he cut Gu Qingxi into pieces now, it would not help.
Moreover, Chi Wanqiu was grateful to Gu Qingxi. How could he watch him attack Gu Qingxi?
Although Chi Wanqiu's cultivation was slightly inferior to his, this woman's temperament was too fierce. If she tried her best to protect Gu Qingxi, unless he was willing to bear the consequences of both sides being injured, there would be no good way to deal with Gu Qingxi. After all,
Gu Qingxi's strength was not weak. It was impossible for her to stand there stupidly and wait for him to kill her.
Although he was full of resentment and regret, in the end, Meng Chaohai reluctantly gave up the idea of taking action.
"Master Meng, since the Meng family has moved out of Jiuli City, shouldn't the Sword Spirit Card also be handed over to the Gongye clan for safekeeping?" Seeing Meng Chaohai turn around, Chi Wanqiu remembered that there was still an important thing to do - there was still a token to open the Sword Spirit Palace in the hands of the Meng family.
Meng Chaohai hesitated. That token can be said to be a symbol of the Meng family's status and the foundation of the Meng family's foothold in Jiuli City. Handing it over to Chi Wanqiu for safekeeping means that their Meng family's status has plummeted and they will no longer have a foothold in Jiuli City.
For the Meng family, this is also a great shame!
But then again, with Meng Yuzhou's tragic defeat at the hands of Gongye Ruoyun, the Meng family has no foothold in Jiuli City, which is shameful enough. Does it really matter who keeps the token?
After understanding this, Meng Haichao didn't say much. He snorted coldly, took out the token and threw it to Chi Wanqiu, and then led the Meng family away quickly.
Afterwards, Chi Wanqiu also left the Jiuli Battle Arena with Gu Qingxi, Gongye Ruoyun, Xiao Yutang and others.
Looking at their departing backs, the city once again rang with thunderous cheers.
"Uncle Chen, have someone prepare a banquet right away. I want to thank Qingxi tonight." Chi Wanqiu instructed the City Lord's Mansion steward next to him.
"Yes, Lord City Lord, I'll arrange it right away." Uncle Chen's face was full of joy, and he trotted all the way to the City Lord's Mansion. Before leaving, he bowed respectfully to Gu Qingxi.
Listening to the screams of Gongye Ruoyun and Xiao Yutang from morning to night every day, he knew better than outsiders where the young master's strength came from, so he was even more grateful to Gu Qingxi.
"Qingxi, you have worked hard these days. I have been here for so long, but I haven't taken you to visit Jiuli City. Today, I will do my best to be a good host and take you to have a good look." Chi Wanqiu said to Gu Qingxi again with apology.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Wanqiu." Gu Qingxi didn't make a fuss with Chi Wanqiu.
There are probably not many cities in the world that are isolated from the world and still retain the ancient style. It's time to take a good look around and taste the special food in the city.
Well, the first point is not important. She has seen too many ancient styles and things like that. It's not strange at all. Tasting the food is the key.
Next, Gu Qingxi followed Chi Wanqiu to walk around the city.
"Qingxi, this Lingxifang is one of the oldest time-honored shops in Jiuli City. The owner's surname is Tao. Although his ancestors were only registered disciples of the ancestors of the Gongye clan, their skills were extraordinary.
The ornaments produced by the Tao family Lingxifang were unique in the Tianyuan Continent. Not only were they novel in style and beautiful in appearance, but they were also of very good quality. Therefore, they were in short supply. Even the strong men in the Mahayana realm had to make reservations several years in advance to buy them.
Since you have come to Jiuli City, you should bring a few Lingxifang products..." As the city lord, Chi Wanqiu knew Jiuli City very well. As he walked, he introduced the customs and practices of Jiuli City to Gu Qingxi.
Speaking of this time-honored Tao family Lingxifang, his face was full of pride.
"Hey, it smells so good, what kind of pastry is this?" Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, she saw Gu Qingxi sniffing and running to a pastry stand not far away with shining eyes.
These days, she was busy torturing people during the day... No, she was busy helping Gongye Ruoyun and Xiao Yutang improve their cultivation, and busy comprehending the "Nine Heavens Artifact Secret" at night. Gu Qingxi didn't even have a good meal for a few times, and she was really a little greedy.
"Senior Gu, this is the special hundred-flower cake made by our store. It is made of the best spiritual rice and baked with hundreds of exotic flowers and herbs." The middle-aged man behind the stall recognized who Gu Qingxi was, and a friendly smile appeared on his chubby face.
"How much is a box? Let me try one first." As they got closer, the fragrance of the spiritual rice and the fragrance of the exotic flowers and herbs were even more tempting, and Gu Qingxi couldn't wait to ask.
"Senior Gu, you look down on me by saying this. We can stay in Jiuli City thanks to you. A few cakes are nothing. Just eat them casually." The middle-aged man generously picked up a box of hundred-flower cake and handed it to Gu Qingxi.
Seeing that he was so straightforward, Gu Qingxi didn't act shy. She opened the box, took out a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.
Immediately, a wonderful taste that he had never experienced before spread from the tip of his tongue, and instantly flowed through his limbs and bones, as if every pore in his body was dilated.
It was really delicious, not only smelling good, but also tasting even better.
Gu Qingxi unknowingly finished one piece, and then another piece, and another piece. Just a moment later, she ate a box of hundred-flower cakes in no time.
"Twenty more boxes." Gu Qingxi certainly would not miss such a delicacy. Seeing the price tag next to the stall, she took out twenty spirit stones and handed them over.
"How can that be possible? It is my honor that Senior Gu likes this hundred-flower cake. How can I accept your spirit stones?" The middle-aged man declined.
"A few dozen spirit stones are nothing to me, but they are not a small amount to you. I can't take advantage of you." Gu Qingxi said seriously, and stuffed the spirit stones into his hand without saying anything.
She had so many spiritual stones on her that it was too easy to count them. However, it was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to earn a spiritual stone. Just look at how poor her senior brothers were at the time.
So although she knew that the other party was well-intentioned and not at all false, Gu Qingxi was unwilling to treat him unfairly.
"Okay, thank you, Senior Gu." Seeing Gu Qingxi's insistence, the middle-aged man could not refuse and could only accept the spiritual stones and wrapped twenty boxes of hundred-flower cakes and handed them to Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi put the extra into the storage bracelet, and returned to Chi Wanqiu with a box of hundred-flower cakes in her hand. While eating, she asked, "Sister Wanqiu, what did you say just now?"
"..." What did you say? What else do you think I can say? Chi Wanqiu was speechless for a while, shook her head and continued to lead Gu Qingxi forward.
