Bi Linglong hesitated for a moment. Actually, she was a little angry. Zu An had promised her, but he broke his promise at such an important moment. She had gotten up early to dress up, so she didn't stop Gu Xing's behavior. She also wanted to see what Zu An was up to.
Anger from Bi Linglong: +233 +233 +233...
The mansion wasn't large, and Gu Xing quickly finished looking it over. There was indeed no sign of Zu An. He smiled and said, "Looks like he's hiding outside."
Gu Heng coughed and said, "Second brother, don't jump to conclusions. Perhaps Lord Zu has already arrived at the Eastern Palace."
Gu Xing scoffed: "How could that be? We just came from the East Palace and didn't see a single hair. In the end, he's just a street thug. He's nothing special on ordinary days, but his cowardly nature comes out when it really matters."
“Nonsense,” Jiao Sigun retorted, “Lord Zu dared to confront and defeat even the eighth-rank Prince Qi’s heir, and fought to a draw with Han Fengqiu, a ninth-rank expert who accompanied him. How could he be afraid of entering this secret realm?”
At this moment, Gu Heng said, "That battle did indeed cause a sensation throughout the capital. However, we also investigated it afterward. In fact, there was a top expert hiding in the shadows during that battle. While the Prince of Qi was unleashing his lightning attack, he secretly summoned water elemental, causing the prince to suffer a backlash and thus suffer an inexplicable defeat."
"Yes, Lord Zu is just a commoner after all. If he were truly a genius, why would he have chosen to become the Chu family's son-in-law?" Gu Xing said this with a hint of guilt, because he had once seen Chu Chuyan's beauty from afar. If such a fairy-like figure really wanted to take a son-in-law, he thought he could do it too. "Ahem, he's only at the fifth or sixth rank of cultivation, at most the seventh rank. How could he possibly defeat the eighth-rank Prince Qi's heir? Not to mention the claim that he fought Han Fengqiu to a draw, that's utter nonsense."
"What kind of figure is Han Fengqiu? Everyone in the capital knows that he is at the peak of the ninth rank. Such a person can easily crush seventh and eighth rank people with a flick of his finger. How could he possibly fight to a draw with a young man? In the end, Han Fengqiu is worried about the mysterious master hiding in the shadows. As a result, the story has been spread as a record of Zu'an. It's ridiculous!"
Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun opened their mouths, but didn't know how to refute it. After all, in their inherent concept, it was indeed unlikely that a peak ninth-rank expert could be defeated by someone of a higher rank.
They looked around blankly, wondering, "Brother Zu, where are you?"
