Senior brother returns

"Your mother is still very far-sighted! The future of the city lord line is indeed bleak. We ordinary martial lords, and even the disciples of wealthy families in Donglai County and Canglan Kingdom, can only become the lord of a small city at most, and cannot become the king of eight hundred princes at all. .These princes and royal families are all the eight hundred princes who followed Emperor Zixuan to conquer the Shenwu Continent in Dongzhou ten thousand years ago. They have been passed down from generation to generation. Except for the city lord family, other families are not so harsh and have a much better future. Like Mu Bing The runes department that my sister majors in earns the most yuan stones. As long as you write good runes, you don't have to worry about no one buying them."

Qin Yu'er chattered quickly, speaking very fast. If you don't listen carefully, you will easily skip it. Fortunately, her voice is like a sparrow, very pleasant to the ear. Even if she says random things, others are willing to listen.

"Among the nine major departments, the rune department earns the most yuan stones. This is generally recognized. The Mu family in the Canglan Kingdom is a famous rune family, and it is not an ordinary rich family. Dean Mu has been cultivating Mu Bing, the sister-in-law. By cultivating runes, Mu Bing Shimei will become a rich man sooner or later!"

Jiang Youxi nodded and agreed.

"How can it be so easy to write a good rune? I have to waste a lot of pen and ink every day to practice writing. It is difficult to find a qualified rune among dozens of runes! Ye Fan's rune attainments are truly extraordinary. . I still can't reach the realm of runes he wrote three years ago. If I can write it, I will truly become a rune master."

Mu Bing smiled bitterly.

Jiang Youxi waved her hand quickly and looked at Ye Fan with strange eyes, "Ye Fan is an exception, we can't use him as a reference. Otherwise, all of us will die. He is not only strong in runes, I have never seen him with anything bad." Strong! Three years ago, he took the top spot in the martial arts department. I thought he was the strongest in martial arts at first, but then I found out that I was wrong. What he is stronger in is runes, which can control the country with a piece of paper. I originally thought he had runes. It was considered top-notch, but I was wrong again. His beast control and adventure systems were ten times stronger than runes. Then I thought that my unique sacrificial system in Luyang Mansion could always overwhelm him. As a result, he became one of the few holy priests in the Canglan Kingdom, resurrected the mammoth bloodline, and was stunned to compare with me, the stardust priest. Alas, I thought that these three of me I've gotten to know him very well over the years. Today, I realize I was still wrong."

"Why are you wrong again?"

Qin Yuer said strangely.

"I misunderstood. Ye Fan's strongest one is actually the martial arts department! He had no intention of earning Yuan Stones by writing runes, doing business, etc. He just went out to sea and killed a few sea beasts to earn Yuan Stones. He killed one The Sea Beast Lord has earned more yuan stones than I have earned through several months of hard work."

Jiang Youxi waved her hand, looking very helpless.

Qin Yuer chuckled and looked at Ye Fan next to her.

Mu Bing also smiled and couldn't stop having fun.

Several maids on board the boat put fragrant tea on their tables.

Ye Fan took a sip of the fragrant tea and knew that the three of them were deliberately making fun of him. He couldn't help but smile and said: "You three children from wealthy families have always had enough food and clothing. Why do you need to go out to sea to hunt sea beasts like me?" To earn Yuan Stone, don't laugh at me here. If I had a monthly salary, there would be no need to risk going to sea to earn such hard money."

Everyone chatted for a while while burning incense.

Ye Fan suddenly noticed something, looked out of the boat, and swept through the thousands of people on the river bank.

A young man in white clothes with a thick heavy sword at his waist appeared at the nearby dock. His face was as calm and indifferent as ever, and his eyes were as calm as the stars in the dark night, deep and empty.

It is the ancient cold sword.

He has an indescribable special temperament about him. Even among thousands of people, he seems to be the only one walking alone.

Gu Hanjian is not eye-catching among the crowd, but as long as you take a look at him, you will remember his cold and calm charm like a block of ice.

"Senior Brother Gu is here!"

Ye Fan said something to the other three people at the same table, then stood up, leading the way to the deck outside the attic.

If he has respect for anyone in Luyang Mansion, then Senior Brother Gu Hanjian is undoubtedly the only one.

Senior Brother Gu Hanjian once led ten talented young people of his generation to practice on the top of Luyang Mountain for half a year, practicing in the morning sun, morning dew and sunset every day. Ignore all mundane chores, focus on the pursuit of the highest realm of martial arts with no distractions.

Ye Fan had always wondered why he had so much respect for Senior Brother Gu Hanjian these years.

Later, he gradually understood that although Senior Brother Gu Hanjian never taught them any martial arts skills. However, Gu Hanjian used himself to tell the ten young men of this generation what his martial arts was.

Senior Brother Gu Hanjian has a true heart for martial arts.

This kind of martial arts heart is rare among millions of warriors who can understand and possess it. This has nothing to do with blood. People with a martial heart never think about tedious mundane affairs and temporary success or failure.

People who have a heart for martial arts always look toward the stars and the sky with their firm gaze, aiming for the highest peak of martial arts. He will never lose himself in the mundane world and lose his enterprising spirit.

An extremely pure heart of martial arts allows them to have a mature mind and will far beyond that of their peers, and quickly reach the peak of a realm.

It was the martial arts heart of Gu Hanjian that illuminated the ten self-proclaimed geniuses of Ye Fan's class, allowing them to pursue them day and night.

Ye Fan has not yet understood his martial arts heart, and subconsciously pursues and imitates the martial arts heart of Gu Hanjian to practice.

After he came to Donglai City, he chose to go to sea and practice blood-based combat skills alone and lonely on the island. The hard training every day and night also subconsciously imitated the martial arts training path of Gu Hanjian. He didn't want to be too entangled in the trivial chores of Donglai City, and he also needed a lot of energy and blood from the Sea Beast Lord, so he chose to practice on the island.

Many times, Ye Fan himself did not realize this.

But as time passed, Ye Fan also understood how profoundly Brother Gu Hanjian's six months of training at the top of Luyang Mountain had a profound influence on him.

Dean Mu, City Lord Jiang Tianpeng, President Wei Shou and other important figures in Luyang Mansion were respected by Ye Fan behind Senior Brother Gu.

"Senior Brother Gu is here?!"

 "Where?"

Everyone on Jiang's building was shocked when they heard Ye Fan's words. They all looked out the window of the boat, and then they were overjoyed and stood up.

There is only one possibility that Gu Hanjian will come to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival lake tour today. He has successfully been promoted to Martial Lord, so he is willing to spend a day to celebrate this.

Otherwise, with his indifferent temperament and no interest in amusement, I'm afraid he wouldn't waste time visiting the lake.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Gu!"

"Senior Brother has been in seclusion for half a year and has become a Martial Master. This is a great joy."

All the warriors and warriors in the ship, whether they were children of wealthy families or ordinary people, all came to the deck one after another. Led by Ye Fan, Jiang Youxi and others, they bowed their hands to Gu Hanjian and congratulated him.

The ancient cold sword has a very special status in their hearts.

When they were very young, they were taught by their family elders to become outstanding warriors like the Ancient Han Sword. The goal they wanted to achieve by practicing since childhood was none other than Senior Brother Gu Hanjian.

Guhanjian has always been the target they want to catch up with over the years, and the idol they respect extremely.

So much so that they even ignored that Gu Hanjian was actually the same age as many of them, and was only two or three years older at most.

The failure to awaken the ancient cold sword bloodline two or three years ago left many of them feeling disappointed, as if they had lost something important.

Now that Gu Hanjian has become a Martial Lord and has returned again, they are all refreshed. It feels like something that was lost in my heart is back again.

Including Ye Fan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they no longer had to worry about what would happen if Senior Brother Gu Hanjian failed to awaken his bloodline for the second time.

Gu Hanjian boarded the deck of Jiang's ship, nodded to Ye Fan, Jiang Youxi and others, then counted the numbers, showed a rare smile, and said: "One, two...seven! There were thirty of us a year ago Come to Donglai City, the birth of eight Martial Lords is now a happy event worthy of celebration. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is the first time for everyone to get together, so just relax and have a day of fun!"

"To celebrate the fact that eight of us have become Martial Lords, I also wish the rest of us to become Martial Lords as soon as possible. We will not return home until we are drunk today!"

"That's natural, you must drink it to your heart's content!"

Everyone laughed.

After Gu Hanjian arrived, basically all the people who were supposed to be there were present.

Everyone returned to the pavilion of the building, and sat down in groups, continuing to drink and taste tea, laughing and chatting while enjoying the singing and dancing of the dancers in the center of the balcony.

Gu Hanjian, Ye Fan, Jiang Youxi, Mu Bing, and Qin Yuer sat at a table near the window with the best view, laughing and chatting, admiring the beautiful scenery.

Jiang Youxi ordered the boatmen to sail the boat.

Jiang's building boat left the busy dock on the river bank and sailed to the middle of the Donglai River, sailing slowly along the bustling river.

The Mid-Autumn Festival celebration of the human race in Shenwu Continent in August starts in the early morning and lasts for a whole day until the full moon in the middle of the night.

The Donglai River is already full of large and small luxury boats carrying the flags of major families and forces in Donglai City. They are all sailing slowly along the river, visiting the beautiful scenery of the riverside streets of Donglai City on both sides.

"Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there seem to be a lot of boats on the river! Moreover, there are no ordinary civilian boats, they are all large and medium-sized building boats. It seems different from last year. What is going on?"

Gu Hanjian looked at the river in the distance and asked Ye Fan and others.

 "I am not sure as well."

Ye Fan shook his head and said.

He has been in Donglai City for a year, but he has not stayed in the city for more than a few days. He has been practicing outside.

Jiang Youxi immediately explained: "In addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival, today there will also be a boating party. During the day, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a lively 'Ten Boat Race'. After nightfall, Princess Li of Donglai County personally hosted the annual The most solemn 'Riding Party' will be attended by a group of the most famous warriors in the entire "Donglai List". There is a saying in Donglai City, 'If you don't compete in ten consecutive boat races, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in vain. If you don't participate in rafting, Yes, the martial master has no shame in boasting.' He is talking about the most prestigious ten consecutive boat races and rafting events. However, anyone can participate in the ten consecutive boat races, whether they are warriors, martial masters or white-bodied civilians who have not practiced martial arts. But for the rafting party, only the Wu Zuns on the "Donglai Ranking" are allowed to participate, not just anyone who wants to participate. This rafting party is a hundred times more exciting than the ten consecutive boat races!"

"Oh, that's it! With an extra rafting party, no wonder it's much more lively than last year's Mid-Autumn Festival."

Gu Hanjian nodded slightly. He has been in seclusion recently and has not gone out, but he does not know the news.

"Look, there's a large building boat in the 'Ten Boat Race' ahead. Many people are playing, let's go and join in the fun!"

Qin Yuer suddenly became excited and pointed at a giant building boat on the river ahead.

Around this giant building boat, there were already many small building boats gathered around it.
