    Chapter 33 The man and woman named Gong [inverted v] Yanbugui: two weirdos.…

    The bright moon rises leisurely up to the middle of the sky, and its faint light shines selflessly between the sky and the earth. Only a few corners are difficult to shine due to various reasons.The street on the opposite side of the busy city is very quiet. The place looks quite neat, but I don’t know the specific reason. It is deserted and deserted, with few people passing by.

    Yan Bugui stepped on the broken moonlight and did not immediately walk out of the alley. Instead, he suddenly raised his head and looked up high – it was a four or five-story building with bright red lanterns hung around the outside. Each floor was illuminated by warm yellow candlelight, but most of the windows on the first floor were tightly closed. Only one window on the second floor was open. A man and a woman were sitting by the window, looking down.

    The clothes of this man and woman look unusual. The younger woman wears a splendid skirt, with very light but exquisite makeup, and each stroke depicts her best side; the older man only wears a seemingly ordinary white dress, but in fact it is embroidered with delicate and luxurious dark patterns, making him graceful and elegant… The materials of both are not affordable for ordinary people.

    From the very beginning, Yan Bugui had actually noticed the eyes of the handsome and beautiful pair towards him – from the moment he dragged the thief into the alley until now.Maybe it was because the swordsman seemed to notice the attention they were paying attention to, that the pretty girl who looked a little arrogant asked in a clear voice: “Swordsman, where did you buy the material for your clothes?”

    Hearing this, Yan Bugui lowered his head and looked at his clothes – the new sect clothes he wore today that were half black and half white with a touch of blue. It is said that this set of clothes was named “Jiyu Guizhen”.However, the suit he wears is not the original one he received from the sect. It was made by a tailor that Xie Donghai found somewhere and is not wetted by water.

    This is not the first time that Xie Donghai has done this. From head to toe, he is covered in the same style that his brother Xie asked someone to make separately. They are all made of thin, soft fabrics that are warm in winter and cool in summer. Although Penglai’s clothes are made of good materials, they are obviously different from this.He once asked Xie Donghai out of curiosity whether there really were sharks who shed tears in the world, and whether the clothes they were wearing were the legendary shark hair.

    However, Xie Donghai did not answer directly, but pressed him against the corner, and asked quietly with lowered eyebrows, if he felt that the old man was no longer attractive, and wanted to meet the rumored forever young and beautiful shark, and planned to choose a more eye-catching companion.

    Yan Bugui didn’t understand why the topic could suddenly deviate to such an extent. Even with his understanding of Xie Donghai, every time his brother Xie said something weird, it proved that the other person was either jealous or angry… Anyway, he had an opinion on him, and it was just to change the topic.

    He wasn’t sure exactly what Xie Donghai was thinking at that time, but he knew how to deal with it – as long as he skillfully pretended to be innocent and behaved, acted coquettishly and obeyed, the matter could be easily solved – well, sometimes it didn’t seem easy.

    Ahem, I thought too far.The swordsman quickly gathered his slippery thoughts, which was manifested in the fact that he lowered his head, then raised it again after a while, and replied to the girl who asked: “I’m sorry, my brother at home prepared the clothes for me, and I don’t know where I bought them.”

    “Oh?” The girl didn’t know whether she believed it or not, so she continued to ask, “Then where is your brother? Can’t you ask him?”

    Yan Bugui glanced at the stern young man in white next to the woman, and replied: “We got separated for some reason, and now we are looking for him.”

    Hearing this answer, the girl’s distrust was clearly revealed in her eyes and tone: “How could it be such a coincidence that someone just disappeared? You don’t want to tell me that you made it up, right? Or are you just lying to me?” At the end of the sentence, her expression and voice seemed to have become a little cold.

    Yan Bugui said inexplicably: “What do you have to offer me to deceive you?” After saying that, he ignored the other party’s reaction and continued to move forward.

    “It’s your honor that I took a fancy to your clothes!” The girl said this, but found that the swordsman really regarded her as nothing and turned a blind eye. She was immediately furious, suddenly picked up a big bowl, and poured the hot contents downwards without hesitation!

    With the sharpness of a goose, it was naturally impossible for him to be splashed. He dodged and hid far away.However, he did not continue to leave immediately, nor did he rush to the second floor to retaliate in kind. Instead, he moved the tip of his nose slightly, raised his eyebrows and said softly: “The soup is so fragrant, is it beef? What a waste of food.”

    The swordsman felt that this woman’s emotions were indeed a bit extreme. The best and the worst happened in an instant, with no warning or transition at all.It’s not that he doesn’t want to talk to the other party with a knife, but… his eyes turn to the young man in white who has been sitting calmly. This man is not weak in martial arts, and has been locking his every move from beginning to end. It is obvious that he wants to protect the girl beside him.

    Perhaps sensing the swordsman’s vague fighting spirit, the young man in white said before the girl spoke: “Good skills.”

    Yan Bugui’s eyes narrowed: “You seem to be a master too…what do you call me?”

    “Gong Jiu.” The handsome young man in white replied.

    The girl who was still angry before seemed to have calmed down a lot now. She raised her chin in a reserved and proud manner. Although she did not ask her explicitly, she immediately said her name: “Palace Master.”

    Princess?Yan Bugui didn’t care that the girl was indeed from the royal family, or had a name that sounded like “princess”, or that the couple simply made up fake names. His eyes never left the man who called himself “Gong Jiu”, and his tone of voice was a little stupid: “You seem to want to see my sword?”

    This guy named “Gong Jiu” is also a strange person in the eyes of the swordsman. He feels very “empty” to him.At first glance, this “emptiness” seemed like a vast emptiness with nothing, but as the observation deepened, it seemed like a bottomless hole, with a little bit of the feeling that the dangerous zone brought to him when he went deep into the ruins sea – there were unknown shadows and piercing crises hidden there.

    Gong Jiu was a little noncommittal, as if he was answering the wrong question: “There are very few Jianghu people who use Hengdao as a weapon.”

    “So you want to try the power of Hengdao?” Yan Bugui held on to this point.

    Gong Jiu’s tone became subtle: “If you want me to take action, are you ready to pay the price?”

    Yan Bugui asked as if he was simply curious: “I wonder what price we need to pay?”

    Gong Jiu stared at him quietly for a long time, and then replied very matter-of-factly: “If you lose, you will naturally be dead. There is nothing to say; if you can not fall behind within a quarter of an hour, I admit that you have value that ordinary people do not have, and you will get a special opportunity.”

    Yan Bugui did not ask what the “opportunity” was but asked: “What if I beat you? What can you give me?”

    Gong Jiu’s cold tone seemed to have become even colder: “There is no such possibility.” Before the word “can” was completely dropped, the white figure fell from the sky like an invisible ghost, accompanied by a palm like a stormy wave!

    Gong Jiu’s speed was already extremely fast, but Yan Bugui’s reaction was somewhat beyond his and the Palace Master’s expectations – the narrow alley was not suitable for a long weapon like the Hengdao, and the swordsman never drew his sword. He just made a mistake in his steps and immediately moved behind Gong Jiu, and his shot was actually a standard grappling posture.

    Unfortunately, Gong Jiu was not simple either. His expression remained unchanged, as if he was hiding behind his back. Before he could even turn around, he started to attack him several times. Even though Yan Bugui was not at a disadvantage, his plan of trying to hug him had already gone bankrupt.

    Gong Jiu, who took advantage of the situation and faced the swordsman head-on, used fierce punches at first, but suddenly turned to soft claw skills at the next moment – the claw was so fast and hard that there was no time for reaction. If he was caught, his throat would probably be torn out on the spot!

    But Yan Bugui was once again surprising. Even though it was not suitable to draw the sword, he still grasped the handle of the sword tightly. The sheathed horizontal sword was quietly stuck between Gong Jiu’s hand and the swordsman’s neck. At the same time, he kicked up silently – Gong Jiu was not hit, and his speed continued to increase. The blurred footwork combined with the afterimage of his fist forced the swordsman to maintain a defense hanging on a thin line.

    The internal energy as cold as a poisonous snake and the momentum like a snow mountain wrapped around Yan Bugui’s body. Others might have been unable to hold on.However, the swordsman’s movement was like the flowing wind, drifting erratically. Even though it seemed that he had no chance to breathe under the heavy attack, in fact, he was able to transfer all the miscellaneous internal energy back to Gong Jiu.

    Of course Gong Jiu will not be defeated easily, even if he not only has to deal with the swordsman when he attacks, he also has to break up the offensive sent back by the swordsman, using one move as two moves.He was as calm as before, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, like two groups of gradually burning fire.

    In fact, by now he has lost count of how many moves he has changed. One moment he thought he had found the swordsman’s flaw, but the next moment the opponent quickly made up for it – I believe the same is true for him in the swordsman’s eyes.

    Wu Ming has always said that he is a rare genius in the world. There is no one with such extraordinary insight and understanding as him. He can easily understand and even advance any martial arts he has.

    Not to mention his peers, even many famous seniors are no match for him. Unexpectedly, when he goes out to relax with the palace master, he unexpectedly meets a swordsman with equally keen observation and extremely high martial arts qualifications!

    After this series of fights, Gong Jiu became more frightened, more relaxed, and more excited… He couldn’t wait to try whether the person in front of him could really defeat him, and how he would feel if the unsheathed sword hit him——

    “A quarter of an hour is up!” The palace master’s slightly cold voice sounded from upstairs.This moody girl now had a sullen face, glaring at the two people below her, as if she was very unhappy, but her heart didn’t seem as bad as her face.

    After hearing her cry, the two people who could have continued fighting finally stopped and gave up the tempting option.Gong Jiu’s breathing was relatively rapid, and his eyes were fixed on the swordsman: “If you plan to redeem my promise, you can come into this restaurant to find me at any time – just say that Mr. Jiu asked you to come.”

    Compared to Gong Jiu, Yan Bugui seemed to have just gone out for a run. His breathing was only half a minute faster than usual. He was still energetic, but his tone seemed a bit lazy: “Well, if I still remember it later.” That’s weird!He didn’t want to get involved in something that was obviously wrong at first sight.

    Gong Jiu didn’t know if he noticed the swordsman’s duplicity. Without saying a word, he jumped up to the second floor window and turned over to enter the room. The palace owner angrily closed the window with a “bang” to isolate everything.
