Chapter 90

"Oh?"

Hearing Chen Chang'an agree, Ning Tingyu's eyes flashed with a surprise even she found hard to detect.

"Then why did you agree? Aren't you afraid I might trick you?"

Ning Tingyu asked curiously.

"Because you are a local. In a strange place, finding a local to familiarize yourself with the opponent can help you know yourself and the enemy, ensuring victory in a hundred battles!"

Chen Chang'an said seriously.

"Is that so... Is there nothing else?"

Ning Tingyu asked, a bit disappointed.

"No."

Chen Chang'an replied.

"Tch!"

Ning Tingyu's face turned serious, and she clenched her small fist. "Alright, but when we finally duel, I won't hold back!"

"Neither will I."

Chen Chang'an said seriously.

Ning Tingyu paused, then took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Alright, if you want to get more information about the opponent, you have to listen to me."

Chen Chang'an looked at her calmly and said nothing.

"Let's go out for a walk first. It's the Fire Phoenix Festival outside, which happens once a year and is very lively."

Ning Tingyu's eyes twinkled as she suddenly said.

"Fire Phoenix Festival?"

Chen Chang'an didn't understand, but it must be a local festival.

He thought for a moment and decided to follow the woman's request.

"Let's go."

So the two of them flew out directly from the window.

The two people eavesdropping next door were instantly stunned.

"Damn, that kid was invited out by the Holy Maiden!"

Fei Xinzi exclaimed in surprise, "Hehe, that's pretty good, good looks do attract girls!"

She looked at the scholar in plain clothes, "Master, I'll go out to secretly protect that kid."

The scholar in plain clothes nodded.

So Fei Xinzi pulled Ji Xuangu out as well.

The scholar in plain clothes shook his head slightly, picked up the wooden sword beside him, and continued to gently wipe it with a handkerchief.

...

Tonight, the entire city was hung with red lanterns, and phoenix-shaped paper decorations were posted everywhere.

Or there were lanterns among them, and fireworks occasionally burst in the night sky.

It was very beautiful!

The bustling streets were filled with the sounds of vendors, buyers, and haggling, giving the city a lively atmosphere.

Chen Chang'an was very interested, looking here and there.

Ning Tingyu was the same, losing her noble and cold demeanor as a Holy Maiden, and walking like a little girl.

"I like this lively atmosphere, not just the daily cultivation. Sometimes, one must live well," Ning Tingyu said with a complex look in her eyes. "In the sect, my master never lets me wander around, saying that as a cultivator, one must focus on cultivation."

Chen Chang'an nodded, "Your master is right."

Ning Tingyu, "..."

The two slowly walked forward, passing through bustling streets.

Ning Tingyu looked at Chen Chang'an, "Kid, I knew Dongzhou wouldn't keep you for long, but I didn't expect you to come to Zhongzhou so quickly."

Chen Chang'an thought for a moment and said, "To become stronger, one must go to a bigger stage."

"You're right!"

Ning Tingyu lifted her head proudly, "I'm already at the Second Level of the Holy Emperor Realm, kid, you need to work hard!"

"Is it because of the root of the Origin Dao Lotus?" Chen Chang'an felt a strange pain, as the root was also a treasure, and it was taken by this girl.

"Exactly!"

Ning Tingyu laughed, "You got the petals, I got the root, so we both didn't lose out!"

Chen Chang'an pursed his lips.

He still had the Five Elements Demon Suppressing Palace, which was a great treasure for gathering spiritual energy!

Seeing Chen Chang'an's pained expression, Ning Tingyu felt proud.

Just then, a man in blue suddenly walked up to Ning Tingyu.

He bowed slightly and smiled, "This young lady, I am Gu Hengsheng of the Gu family!"

"Upon seeing you, I felt as if a celestial being had descended, and I instantly fell in love. I wonder if you could..."

Ning Tingyu frowned and pulled Chen Chang'an's hand, "Are you blind? Can't you see I have a companion?"

Chen Chang'an, "..."

He knew it, bringing a beauty would definitely attract some troublemakers, and that was a woman's forte!

Sure enough!

The young man named Gu Hengsheng's face froze.

His Gu family was one of the four major families in the Holy Land!

If anyone heard the name Gu family, they would be delighted!

And he was the young master of the Gu family!

What woman had he ever failed to get, except for the Holy Maidens of the Holy Sects?

No one could refuse him!

Because the Gu family was rich and powerful!

And there was more!

Tonight was the Fire Phoenix Festival, a festival to honor the Phoenix God, and he was out to hunt!

Just now, he had his eye on Ning Tingyu.

Although Ning Tingyu was half-covered by a veil... her graceful figure, waist-length hair, and exposed, snow-white, jade-like arms made it clear to him, this was definitely a beauty!

But now, Ning Tingyu's fiery temperament made him even more interested.

The fiercer the temperament, the more fun it would be to play with her!

The more satisfying it would be to conquer her!

Gu Hengsheng smiled slightly, "This young lady, I have no other intentions, I just want to get to know you."

"Moreover, I am the young master of the Gu family. Getting to know me will definitely benefit you."

His meaning was, getting to know him, the young master of the Gu family, would bring you many resources!

At this moment, Chen Chang'an narrowed his eyes.

Although Ning Tingyu wasn't his woman, he was at least her teammate.

To ignore his existence like this?

And was he blind?

Didn't he recognize the Holy Maiden of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect?

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an said disdainfully, "Get lost, she's not interested in knowing you."

Hearing this, Gu Hengsheng finally turned his gaze to Chen Chang'an, narrowing his eyes.

He hadn't noticed Chen Chang'an before, but now... he was damn handsome!

Even more handsome than himself!

He hated seeing other men being more handsome than him!

But he wouldn't make enemies with someone without knowing their background!

"What is your name, sir?"

Gu Hengsheng asked, still with a warm smile.

As if everything was beneath his notice.

Chen Chang'an narrowed his eyes, "Why should I tell you? Get lost, a good dog doesn't block the way!"

Saying this, Chen Chang'an walked forward, using his shoulder to push him aside.

Caught off guard, Gu Hengsheng almost fell.

His face turned extremely ugly!

"Hey, you're really weak!"

Ning Tingyu laughed and quickly caught up with Chen Chang'an.

Instantly, Gu Hengsheng's face turned ashen.

You can say anything about me!

But don't call me weak!

That was his sore spot!

Ever since the woman who had been with him last time said he was weak after only sixty breaths of pleasure, he had killed her!

The grass on her grave was already a meter high!

Damn!

Now another woman was calling him weak!

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Watching Chen Chang'an and Ning Tingyu walk away, he clenched his fists tightly.

"These two are really arrogant!"

Gu Hengsheng clenched his right fist, touched his aching chest with his left hand, and his eyes turned vicious.

"Sir, the man is Chen Chang'an, the one who had a conflict with the Lin family a few days ago."

At this moment, two elders appeared beside Gu Hengsheng and whispered.

"Oh? Chen Chang'an? So he's from that backwater in Dongzhou!"

Gu Hengsheng's eyes flashed with disdain, which quickly turned into a cold killing intent.

"Sir, he has the Scholar in Plain Clothes behind him!"

The elder beside him reminded him.

"Scholar in Plain Clothes?"

Gu Hengsheng narrowed his eyes, "Just a poor scholar, there are more people who want him dead."

"Sir, be careful, he is a Sword Lord after all."

The elder continued to remind him.

"Hmph, don't worry!"

Gu Hengsheng said disdainfully, "If I can't do it openly, I can stab him in the back!

He has offended so many people, who knows whose big hand is behind him."

Saying this, he angrily turned and left.
