Chapter 146: Long Xiaoyun Has Arrived

"Kunlun Sect, Diancang Sect, Huashan Sect..."

Gu Qing flipped through various secret manuals.

Lin Xian'er was perhaps born poor and feared poverty, so whatever others had, Lin Xian'er had to have. After she stepped into Jiang Hu, she used her reputation as the world's number one beauty to make those heroes pay heavily through a method of paying for props.

As for the poor brothers, as long as Lin Xian'er took a liking to them, she would let them enjoy themselves.

The various secret manuals Gu Qing had obtained now were all burst out by those heroes.

However, most of these manuals were mid-to-high-end martial arts of the sects; they did not contain the peerless skills not passed down in each sect. Gu Qing flipped through them once, just to broaden his own martial arts perspective.

"Put them away."

After Gu Qing finished reading, he returned the manuals to Lin Xian'er.

Seeing that Gu Qing had only taken a glance and was not greedy, Lin Xian'er looked at him with a hint of charm.

Someone like Gu Qing, who was not greedy for money and was also strong, was simply Lin Xian'er's best partner for cooperation, but it was a pity that Gu Qing was not interested in her.

"Hero Gu, what kind of women do you like?"

Lin Xian'er wanted to change her route and seduce him again.

"Beautiful women with charm."

Gu Qing said, "Either thoroughly good, or thoroughly bad."

Lin Xian'er's eyes moved, and she asked, "And what about Xian'er?"

Lin Xian'er felt that as a bad woman, she was also quite thorough.

"You are thoroughly rotten."

Gu Qing gave a direct, sharp critique.

Lin Xian'er's face turned as cold as autumn frost; she had never been insulted like this before.

Pushing open the door of this inn, when Gu Qing walked out, he saw Jing Master Wu Ming already standing in front of the door. His gray-white eyes were full of dead silence, and looking at Gu Qing, they carried even more biting killing intent.

Gu Qing acted as if he didn't see him and walked straight forward.

"Was it you who came up with the horse-riding idea?"

Jing Master Wu Ming asked coldly.

The duel between Shangguan Jin Hong and Li Xunhuan had already ended. Everything was just as Gu Qing had anticipated. When Guo Songyang rode a horse to Shangguan Jin Hong and said they were changing the location of the duel, Shangguan Jin Hong's face had already turned livid.

Shangguan Jin Hong had to have twelve-tenths of certainty in doing things. He had to investigate clearly how many people Li Xunhuan's flying dagger had killed before he dared to make a move on Li Xunhuan. Suddenly changing the location, and with Guo Songyang riding a horse intending to consume his stamina, Shangguan Jin Hong naturally wouldn't have it.

So Shangguan Jin Hong gave the order for Jing Master Wu Ming to kill Lin Xian'er.

Gu Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you realize that this weakness of walking everywhere is too heaven-defying?"

But there was no help for it; this was Shangguan Jin Hong's setting.

It sounded like Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Master Wu Ming walking at the same frequency, cooperating tacitly, and having great style, but this habit of walking on legs no matter where they went was indeed too slow.

People like this walking in Jiang Hu would sooner or later be worn to death.

Jing Master Wu Ming gripped his sword hilt.

Gu Qing then restrained his laughter a little and stepped forward, continuing to walk toward Jing Master Wu Ming.

In the current world, A'fei was temporarily crippled. Jing Master Wu Ming's fast sword was peerless in the world, and he could even reverse his long sword after their figures crossed to counter-injure his opponent. In the original decisive battle, Guo Songyang went to the appointment in place of Li Xunhuan, then saw Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Master Wu Ming, felt he couldn't leave, fought Jing Master Wu Ming, and died at Jing Master Wu Ming's hands.

Ten steps!

Five steps!

Jing Master Wu Ming suddenly drew his sword, and his figure crossed with Gu Qing's.

Lin Xian'er only saw Jing Master Wu Ming dart forward and reach behind Gu Qing, while Gu Qing, from beginning to end, walked with ease, his footsteps gradually moving away.

Lin Xian'er looked at Jing Master Wu Ming and saw that he had only drawn the sword hilt.

At the moment the long sword left the scabbard, Gu Qing didn't know what method he used to cut Jing Master Wu Ming's long sword off at the root. Now the blade was inside the scabbard, while Jing Master Wu Ming held the hilt, stunned and dazed.

Lin Xian'er's body shrank back slightly, knowing that Gu Qing's move had already saved her life.

Although Gu Qing had just scolded Lin Xian'er as a rotten woman, Lin Xian'er still sincerely thanked Gu Qing.

"Still able to pluck merit from Lin Xian'er..."

After Gu Qing sensed the merit, he smiled. After the *Lu Xiaofeng* legend, Gu Qing's martial arts were gradually entering the supreme realm. In the world of *The Sentimental Swordsman, Ruthless Sword*, only Shangguan Jin Hong and Li Xunhuan were worth Gu Qing's effort. So in this world, Gu Qing would just be a good person, brush up some merit, see if he could dig out Shangguan Jin Hong's martial arts manuals, and try if he could catch the Little Li Flying Dagger.

Gu Qing had many manuals on him; both the *Primordial Qi Art* and the *Elephant Prajna Qi* needed to be meticulously studied. The *Infinite Yoga Tantra* was also endless, and some things taught by the old man Wu Ming, Gu Qing had not yet mastered, and the acupoints around his body were not yet connected as one.

Gu Qing had no anxiety and walked forward steadily. Every sunrise was a new peak for Gu Qing.

Maple Forest Town.

When Gu Qing returned, Li Xunhuan and Guo Songyang were drinking, and beside Li Xunhuan was that little girl, Lin Lingling.

"It's a pity you didn't see Shangguan Jin Hong's expression."

Seeing Gu Qing return, Guo Songyang immediately shared the situation at that time.

Usually, Shangguan Jin Hong was stern and didn't laugh, putting great pressure on people, but after Guo Songyang said they were changing the location, Shangguan Jin Hong's face collapsed.

Riding a horse to face Shangguan Jin Hong—if such remarks were spread in Jiang Hu, it would damage Shangguan Jin Hong's prestige.

Gu Qing looked at Li Xunhuan and said, "You also saw the posture of Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Master Wu Ming walking, right?"

Li Xunhuan nodded.

Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Master Wu Ming cooperated tacitly; no one in the world could survive under their joint attack. Li Xunhuan knew this point.

"Then do I count as having saved your life!"

Gu Qing asked seriously.

"Cough, cough..."

Li Xunhuan coughed repeatedly. He immediately thought of the thing Gu Qing wouldn't forget, which was saving Li Xunhuan's life and then letting Li Xunhuan give up Lin Shiyin.

"You don't understand the things of that year at all..."

Li Xunhuan really didn't want to bring up the past; that was a wound in his heart, now barely scabbed over, but Gu Qing would poke it from time to time.

Lin Shiyin would be poked until she shed tears.

Li Xunhuan, meanwhile, bled internally.

"If you mention Shiyin again, don't blame us for not being able to be friends."

Li Xunhuan said in a muffled voice.

"Oh..."

Gu Qing nodded, unconcerned.

Li Xunhuan could no longer drink his wine. He stood up and said goodbye to Guo Songyang. Guo Songyang also understood very well; every time Gu Qing appeared, the wine couldn't be drunk.

Li Xunhuan left Gu Qing and walked on the street with Lin Lingling. Suddenly, he saw the blurred figure of the Central Plains Eight Righteous and Tie Chuanjia. Thus, Li Xunhuan left Lin Lingling, tracked them, and after that, he was ambushed by the Central Plains Eight Righteous together with Hu Bufeng.

Also, after Li Xunhuan was captured, Long Xiaoyun walked out with a glowing face, stepped forward very enthusiastically, grabbed Li Xunhuan's hand, and called out, "Xunhuan, I knew you would definitely come. I have already prepared a welcome for you. You and I, brothers, haven't seen each other for many years; today we must drink heartily."

This trap was exactly what Long Xiaoyun had arranged behind the scenes.

Seeing Long Xiaoyun, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, saying, "Big Brother, if you wanted to see me, you could have just notified me, and I would have come. Why go to such great lengths?"

Long Xiaoyun's skin was extremely thick; he was completely immune to Li Xunhuan's verbal sarcasm. He just held Li Xunhuan's hands tightly, recounting the friendship of superficial brothers.

"Are you Long Xiaoyun?"

Gu Qing's voice came from outside. When he arrived here, he also brought Lin Lingling, who had just separated from Li Xunhuan.

Long Xiaoyun turned his head, looked at Gu Qing, full of solemnity, and said, "Xunhuan, is this another friend of yours?"

Now Long Xiaoyun had Hu Bufeng and the Central Plains Eight Righteous by his side; he wasn't panicked at all.

"No, we have already broken off our friendship."

Gu Qing walked forward, reached out to shake Long Xiaoyun's hand tightly, and said, "Long admired, long admired."

Gu Qing wanted to see Long Xiaoyun too much.
