Chapter 441: Xie Guan Is Here: You Are Quite Arrogant

【You walked in from the street corner, and a deep blue lake suddenly hit your eyes. In the center of the lake stood the famous Zixiao Pavilion—Tingyu Building.】

【Your footsteps were unhurried, indifferent to the strangeness around you. The originally bustling market didn't know when it had become sparse.】

【Hidden places seemed to have countless gazes following like shadows, each carrying a cold murderous intent, as if wolves were surrounding, just waiting for the prey to step into the dead land.】

【The Nine Swords in the heart and mind were humming, and the divine fire in the Niwan Palace was burning quietly.】

【You walked slowly to the shore, the street corner was already empty, only a few people were scattered by the lake shore, and with your arrival, all eyes were focused on you.】

It was 5:15 PM, afternoon.】

【He He He Lan Zhenshu couldn't sit still, it concerned them being sent back to their home country from Great Qi, how could they not pay attention.】

【He stood up for the fifth time and paced back and forth, gathering so many people, setting up a net of heaven and earth, but in the end, he didn't even see the face of the main character.】

【"This Xie Guan won't come, will he?"】

【"He will definitely come," Xie Renfeng said affirmatively.】

【Du Kong frowned and looked at Xie Renfeng, "Young Master Feng, why are you so sure?"】

【Xie Renfeng said, "People like Xie Guan are just like those people in books, it cannot be denied that this person has talent and ability."】

【"Making friends with such people, he can willingly die for his friends, practicing righteousness all his life, but only fails to live his own life well, not for the sake of integrity."】

【"So, saying he is a gentleman, I say such people are pedantic, the people who write books and leave messages can't do it, what is he relying on!"】

【Great Sui Crown Prince Liu Yuan heard this and his expression was complex, with a bit more regret in his heart.】

【If he weren't trapped in a prison, he would be willing to make friends with such people, a scholar dies for his bosom friend.】

【If he were a monarch, such a national scholar should be his guest of honor bought with a thousand gold.】

【There would be an eternal story of monarch and subject.】

【What a pity... Liu Yuan looked up and drank the remaining wine in the cup.】

【He wanted to use this good head to break open this Above Bianjing prison.】

【The highest part of the Smoke Wave Building returned to silence!】

【Only the Thirteenth Prince Chen Mu was peeling melon seeds boredly, the fine crisp sound was particularly clear in the silence.】

【Not long after, the Great Inner Ceremony Eunuch Xiao Yu, who had been unmoved, suddenly raised his eyes, his voice low and feminine:】

【"The person everyone is waiting for... seems to have arrived."】

【Liu Yuan stood up abruptly, walked to the window, his fingers in his sleeves tightened slightly, his tone suppressing the hidden excitement:】

【"Xie Guan... finally here!"】

【He He He Lan Zhenshu was stunned first, then clapped his hands and laughed, slapping the window lattice with one palm, bloodthirsty color flashing in his eyes:】

【"Good fool, he really came to die!"】

【Liu Yuan took a deep breath, the emotions in his eyes all converged, leaving only a piece of coldness:】

【"Take action, seal this place."】

【Chen Mu swallowed the last bite of pastry slowly, flicked the crumbs off his fingertips, and walked to the window.】

【The lake surface was shimmering, reflecting the blood color of the setting sun, and a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen swimming slowly under the water, like a lurking beast.】

【There is murderous intent hidden in the lake, and cold light appears in the sword shadow.】

【The murderous intent had already shrouded the Smoke Wave Lake like a dense net.】

【Chen Mu's lips raised slightly, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes—it seems that these crown princes of several countries really hate Xie Guan to the bone, even setting up such a formation.】

【"What a pity..." he laughed softly, tapping the window lattice with his fingertips, "I wanted to see you begging for mercy at my feet with my own eyes, but now I let you die too quickly."】

【Xie Renfeng's gaze was nailed to the end of the long street.】

【A figure in green shirt came with a sword.】

【His face was full of crazy smiles.】

【"Xie Guan, I want to see how you can escape today?"】

【Not far from the Smoke Wave Lake, a private mansion three stories high stood quietly.】

【The top floor's window was half open, and the Great Qi Eldest Princess Chen Zhirong stood by the railing, her plain hands resting lightly on the carved wooden railing, looking far away at the direction of the Smoke Wave Lake.】

【"Your Highness, Xie Guan has already gone."】

【Yan Mama stood behind her with her head down, her voice low. Seeing the Princess didn't respond, she added: "This servant has already brought your Highness's words, not missing a word."】

【"This palace knows."】

【Chen Zhirong sighed lightly, and the calm brows and eyes rarely revealed a trace of regret, "I originally thought that today I finally found a pillar of talent that can be a pillar of heaven"】

【Before the words faded, it was another sigh: "It's a pity that it hasn't become a material yet, and it's going to break here."】

【Yan Mama said: "When Young Master Guan walked on Changning Street, Master Dongshan once stopped him."】

【"What did Master Dongshan say?"】

【"Our people didn't dare to get too close, just asked the passersby." Yan Mama said respectfully, "It is said that Master Dongshan advised Young Master Guan, a gentleman should not act on impulse."】

【Chen Zhirong heard this and nodded slowly.】

【"It seems that although Master Dongshan values Xie Guan, he... is powerless."】

【"Your Highness, don't we take action? Maybe we can save Xie Guan."】

【Chen Zhirong shook her head, "That person... is also here today, no one in Above Bianjing dares to take action."】

【Yan Mama was shocked.】

【She naturally understood who the "that person" in the Princess's mouth referred to—Su Xiang, who held power in the court.】

【Could it be that he is also paying attention to this matter at this moment?】

【Chen Zhirong said, "Now Xie Guan, don't know where he is?"】

【"According to the spy report, he has already arrived at the Smoke Wave Lake."】

【Chen Zhirong nodded, "Wait."】

【"This palace is strange, an illegitimate son can make him... pay attention to this place."】

【"Xie Guan, could it be that there is still a place that this palace has not seen through?"】

【"It's him!"】

【Xue Huaian keenly noticed that the auras of the many masters lurking by the lake all froze, and all eyes were focused on the end of the long street.】

【A thin and straight figure walked slowly.】

【Luo Su Su's fingertips trembled, the silhouette that had been lingering in her heart for the past few days appeared truly in front of her eyes, making her breathing stagnate.】

【Mei Qingsu looked around and found that those hidden experts, although still maintaining their original posture, all locked their divine sense on that youth.】

【"It seems that this killing game today is set for Xie Guan."】

【The words came out, Mei Qingsu himself felt unbelievable, "Prince of Yan, crown princes of various countries... why join forces to deal with a Xie Guan?"】

【What made her even more puzzled was—"And, he actually came alone?"】

【The two flower queens looked at the figure getting closer and closer, Liu Zixin suddenly said softly: "Today's Young Master Guan seems to be different from that day..."】

【The youth tied his long hair high, a green shirt moving with the wind.】

【The refined bookish air of the past faded, replaced by an unstoppable heroic spirit, like a sword out of its scabbard.】

【Luo Su Su also noticed the sword in Xie Guan's hand, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart.】

【The youth finally held the sword.】

【Xue Huaian asked, "Do we want to help?"】

【"After all, when we were at the Xie family's Grand View Garden last time, Xie Guan also took action to help."】

【Mei Qingsu's expression was hesitant, "If we take action, with today's situation, I'm afraid we will also be involved... let's wait and see!"】

【The Grand View Garden incident last time, he had long suspected that the White Bone Temple had no reason to take action against the Xue family, whether it was because of this Xie family illegitimate son, but he couldn't figure it out?】

【Today made him a little sure.】

【Last time they were involved because of Xie Guan?】

【Also, last time he saw Xie Guan's strange face, with a noble and indescribable heavenly human appearance, "Immortal appearance, not sticking to the beauty of the skin, but the inner light, the Taoist bone is natural, only then shows the noble and indescribable appearance."】

【And there is an appearance of premature death, could it be that it is responding to here today?】

【The dead end set by heaven!】

【Luo Su Su had already stood with her sword, her face was determined, "I, Luo Su Su, never owe favors, since he saved me, I naturally draw my sword without regret."】

【Mei Qingsu felt helpless, but also knew the character of this current proprietor of Jinxiu Building who said one thing and did another, and would rather break than bend.】

【He had to persuade, "Let's protect the Young Master and the two girls first, the Xue family also has great kindness to us, if Young Master Two has any problems, can we afford it?"】

【"If this Young Master Guan is in danger, it's not too late to save him... even if it's saving, you saw it in the Grand View Garden last time, can you take a sword from this Young Master Guan?"】

【Luo Su Su looked at Xue Huaian and the two women behind her, with hesitation on her face.】

【Especially the last sentence, her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.】

【The scabbard and the blade collided, making a clear sound of "zheng," and finally put it back.】

【"Good."】

【Mei Qingsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping over the lake surface—the fishing old man, the Taoist nun sitting on the bow, the wine and meat monk... each aura was not inferior to the Night Fork Ghost General of the White Bone Temple that day.】

【Today's game is far more dangerous than the Grand View Garden.】

【The lake wind rolled with a faint fishy smell, murderous intent rose!】

【Xue Huaian stared at Xie Guan, seeing him seem to want to board the boat, his heart couldn't help but tighten.】

"Not good, entering the lake, I fear we will be attacked from all sides, not to mention that pig-dragon lurking at the bottom of the lake," Xue Huaian said anxiously.

【You haven't walked to the lake shore, and a burst of elegant powder fragrance drifted with the wind.】

【A maid wearing a light green skirt walked over. She had a good appearance and the strength of the middle three realms of the Primordial Spirit.】

【The maid bowed, and offered a plain note with both hands.】

【The ink on the plain note was elegant, only writing one sentence: "Respectfully invite Young Master Guan to move to board the boat."】

【You gently pinched your fingers, and the paper burned without fire.】

【You shook your head, "The writing is really ugly."】

【The maid was stunned first, and then retreated quietly as she came, without saying half a sentence.】

【You raised your eyes to look at the lake, the lake had no wind but waves pushing, and the undercurrents pushed the water waves layer upon layer.】

【Near the lake shore, a flat boat was parked quietly.】

【An old man in a coir raincoat sat at the stern of the boat, his hat pressed very low, his fishing rod motionless, as if he had merged with the lake and mountains, as if he was waiting for you here.】

【There was also a sturdy man wearing a straw hat on the shore, wearing short clothes, his left ear missing, looking at you at this time, his face was obviously honest, but there was no closeness, on the contrary, there was only the bloody murderous intent that had been tempered for years.】

【You didn't hesitate, walked straight up.】

【The old man flicked his fishing rod lightly, the invisible line pulled, and a lively perch fell onto the boat board, picked into the fish basket.】

【"Good luck today." The old man's voice was hoarse like rubbing withered leaves, put the new bait into the hook tip, and threw it into the water again.】

【Only then did the fishing old man turn around to look at you, grinning, 【"The fish took the bait, pull the rod."】

【You walked onto the bow of the boat gracefully.】

【The sturdy man on the shore also followed you onto the boat.】

【The small boat had no one to pole, but broke the water surface by itself and slid toward the center of the lake.】

【Several boats in the lake also began to move, all intending to lean toward this place.】

【If you look down at the lake from a high place, you will be shocked—deep in the shadow of the boat bottom, a huge long shadow is slowly circling, the scales shimmering with cold blue-black light. The undercurrent it brought when swimming has whirled a deep black vortex in the center of the lake.】

【The sturdy man took off his straw hat, looking at your back, the knotted muscles bulging faintly under the coarse cloth short clothes, the strong man clasped his ten fingers, and the joints burst out a series of crisp sounds, looking at your back.】

【He tilted his head and stared at your neck, his throat rolled, and his smile was penetrating.】

【"The noble blood of the Nine Families, I don't know what it tastes like."】

【The fishing old man was at the stern of the boat, the strong man was in the middle of the boat.】

【You stood at the bow of the boat, a green shirt was lifted by the lake wind, the long sword in your hand trembled slightly, and there was a clear sound.】

【Your gaze crossed the shimmering waves and fell on the towering Tingyu Building in the distance, leaving only a back to the two people behind you.】

【The strong man's eyes narrowed, his fingers clenched into fists, 【"You are quite arrogant!"】
