Chapter 29:The Beginning 3

　Liangzhou City.

　　Two red date horses were galloping along a path paved with blue bricks and slabs.

　　In front of the horse, Princess Jiuyuan, wearing a palace skirt and a three-foot precious long sword on her waist, was walking on the street, pulling the two reins. The faint light from the lanterns hanging on the street shone on her face, giving it a thin golden hue, which was quite stunning.

　　Beside Princess Jiuyuan, there was a delicate and frail woman, with her slender hands holding a wordless heavenly book on her head, mumbling in complaint:

　　"I thought I would not continue talking to you, and you made me get scolded by my husband."

　　Princess Jiu Yuan didn't care. She held up her sword and pulled her horse, smiling: "How can my sister-in-law blame Yuan'er? There is no such reason in the world. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame my brother. I can't tolerate any of it..."

　　"Okay." Wei Suyi quickly interrupted Yuan'er and stopped her from talking about these things.

　　Dongfang Jiuyuan then sighed softly, his eyes turned to the lantern that was emitting faint light, and he was mesmerized.

　　"Sister-in-law, what kind of person do you think Su Yun is?"

　　"Hmm?" Wei Suyi put away the heavenly book, raised her little head and looked at her little girl.

　　The girl is approaching puberty.

　　Thinking of this, Wei Suyi couldn't help but laugh.

　　"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

　　"No, it's nothing. Ouch! It hurts!"

　　"Humph, you're just asking for a beating."

　　They chased like this all the way and crossed half of the city.

　　—————————

　　The tallest building in Liangzhou.

　　The gavel slammed down suddenly.

　　At night, the furnishings in the pavilion were changed from the daytime. Many tables and chairs were moved to the sides, red silk was hung on the jade walls, and lanterns were everywhere.

　　In the center of the pavilion surrounded by tables and chairs, the storyteller hired by the pavilion spoke calmly:

　　"Last time, I said that Bai Jianxian was about to fall into the most serious disaster in history and was in danger. But when it comes to the cause of this disaster, I'm afraid that the audience who have been lucky enough to listen to the book know that the cause of this disaster all originated from Confucian scholars. But guess, is it really so?"

　　How else could it be otherwise?

　　The audience shook their heads and began to urge the storyteller to continue.

　　The storyteller waved his palm-leaf fan and said in a suspenseful tone:

　　"Everyone thinks that this disaster is caused by one person, but they are wrong. How can people know the situation after the disaster, and how can they know that this is an unfinished chess game! Speaking of chess, there are naturally two players."

　　The suspense caused an uproar, and the audience began to discuss it among themselves.

　　There was also a certain audience member who stood up angrily and said, "Don't talk about these useful or useless things. We just want to hear how Bai Jianxian fell to Pingyang and was bullied by a dog!!!"

　　"That's right, the White Sword Fairy was bullied by a dog and had a violent squirting!"

　　I can't stand these people who don't understand the deep meaning of the plot, who only want to eat the main meal and can't eat fine bran.

　　The storyteller put down the palm-leaf fan somewhat helplessly and chose to temporarily return to the story of Bai Jianxian being bullied by the dog.

　　While many guests and audience were appreciating and savoring the scene where Bai Jianxian was bullied by a dog, some even hid their hands under the tables and chairs and did various tricks.

　　In the side room of the pavilion, Liu Tiezhu and the waiter Muzha were hiding outside the door and eavesdropping.

　　"Boss Gu, if you keep rubbing, you'll be in jail!"

　　"What? You're so brave that you don't even dare to go in?"

　　"this..."

　　Listening to this, the waiter Muzhe muttered softly: "Brother Zhu, what do you think the boss lady is doing with this new guy? It sounds... weird."

　　Coincidentally, Liu Tiezhu seemed to hear something, took a breath, and leaned back slightly.

　　Squeak——

　　The door suddenly opened from the inside, and Qiong Yaoxuan Gu Dianxue, dressed in plain medical clothes, walked out.

　　She was holding a jar of medicine in her hands, and two or three strands of her hair seemed wet from the hard work of the treatment, sticking to her slender snow-white neck.

　　If you glance down, you will see that the plain white doctor's uniform is still slightly soaked with sweat. If it weren't for the square scarf tied in front of her body, the two jade rabbits would have been wrapped up.

　　"What are you doing squatting here?" After going out, Gu Dianxue lowered her beautiful eyes and immediately noticed the two waiters outside the door.

　　"Uh... that... Brother Zhu, you say."

　　"Heh." Liu Tiezhu glanced at his good brother beside him in displeasure, but he decisively took out a flat abacus from behind his waist and knelt down.

　　The movements are so skillful and adept.

　　I don't think it will work without doing it hundreds of times.

　　At that moment, Gu Dianxue rolled her eyes and didn't bother to care about their little actions. She put the medicine jar on the flower stand beside the door, reached behind her waist, took out two red-sealed scrolls of different looks, and threw them into the room.

　　"Tiezhu, you don't have to kneel. Go to the hall and get ready. We won't tell stories tonight."

　　Tiezhu was stunned. Is there such a good thing in the world?

　　But if we don't tell stories, how can we liven up the atmosphere in the pavilion?

　　As I was thinking about it, I saw Boss Gu slowly loosening the small square scarf tie around her snow-white neck, gently picking up the brush that was always between her breasts, and tying up her wet hair.

　　The fragrance of the young girl's sweat mixed with the strong smell of the medicine jar. Gu Dianxue walked out and said:

　　"Tonight I will go upstairs to receive guests and announce the new list to the world!"

　　Tiezhu was confused again: Receiving guests? What other list is there? A new list?

　　Inside the room, Ye Palace Master Ye Guhan, whose hair was tied up like a dumpling, climbed up from the bed with a downcast look.

　　On the shop, two volumes of books with red covers were slightly spread out.

　　With every word that was revealed, Ye Guhan's pupils became more focused.

　　One of the new lists in the world is the New Rouge List.

　　Secondly, after the two heroes Su Qingshan and Xu You passed away, they were no longer listed.

　　The list of geniuses!

　　The list of geniuses is famous, and it lists the order of the cultivators in the world and their strengths and weaknesses.

　　From the past to the present, the ranking of this list has never been wrong, and every time the list of geniuses is released, it will trigger many major events, and there are even quasi-Dongxu monks who send comments for this list.

　　When a genius appears, troubled times are about to come!

　　Thinking of this, Ye Guhan turned his gaze to the outside of the window. His eyes, covered by the white cloth, surprisingly did not show any sign of energy, and were extremely secretive.

　　———————————

　　The moon rising to the middle of the sky was gradually obscured by the drifting sea of ​​clouds.

　　The storyteller from Qiong Yao Xuan was called down by the waiter Liu Tiezhu, who choreographed two singing and dancing acts to liven up the announcement.

　　After a while, the singing and dancing stopped.

　　Surrounded by more than a hundred guests, a young man who looked three parts handsome, six parts unrestrained, and with a bit of sinister evil aura walked onto the stage.

　　Looking at the clothes the young man was wearing, they were exactly the same as those worn by the waiter at Qiong Yaoxuan.

　　At first glance, you would think that Qiong Yaoxuan had finally brought up the handsome man she had hidden away to read out the list.

　　But if you look closely, you can see that this man has a black pendant hanging around his waist with the words "Yegong" written on it. His left hand is broken and has a Ji Yan grafted on it. With the help of spiritual energy, he has achieved a high level of cultivation.

　　In the end, no matter how you think about it, no one will make the connection.

　　The young man who came on stage was Yegong Ye Guhan, the one who was once on the verge of death but was saved by Boss Gu's miraculous healing hands.

　　And the moment Ye Guhan stepped onto the stage with two red scrolls in his hands.

　　Many disciples in Qiong Yao Xuan also carried bags with copies of the new list inside, and went to deliver them to various major immortal sects, court officials, and even royal family members of the three kingdoms of Xia, Man and Yi.

　　This long-awaited new list, once announced, was a huge move.

　　As for the inside of the pavilion, the voices of guests' discussions were endless.

　　During this time, many sect spies who heard the news that Qiong Yaoxuan was going to announce the new list immediately got up and rushed to Qiong Yaoxuan, occupying the few private rooms.

　　The purpose is to use tools such as photo stones, voice stones, and sky escape cards to convey messages to the outside world as soon as possible.

　　However, it is not enough to cause such a big commotion. The power of being on the Tianjiao List and the reputation on the Rouge List have also aroused strong interest among many male and female cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

　　After taking office.

　　With everyone watching, Ye Guhan didn't hesitate and immediately picked up a list and opened it slightly:

　　"Everyone, the list will be announced tonight!"

　　Then, behind Ye Guhan, nine maids from Qiong Yao Xuan jumped down from the air and pulled down a large red curtain with words written by Boss Gu on it.

　　The word "Rouge" has two lines and two columns below it: unpolished jade and beauty.

　　Ye Guhan's voice also came down as the red curtain fell, following the words written on the scroll, and he spoke aloud:

　　"This Rouge List is a new list, and it is a pioneering work! Therefore, there are two lists, the Unpolished Jade List and the Beauty List. The word "unpolished" means new talent, and it also means unpolished. As for the Beauty List, I believe you have heard of it a long time ago and are familiar with its charm, so I will not elaborate on it."

　　"So, let's announce the Unpolished Jade List first. There are seven people on the Unpolished Jade List. So, the seventh on the Unpolished Jade List." Having said this, Ye Guhan paused, looked around the venue, and then continued:

　　"Number seven on the Unpolished Jade Ranking, head of the Fairy Palace Law Enforcement Hall, Bei Ranzhu."

　　puff--

　　In a private room somewhere in Qiong Yao Xuan, the handsome young man Meng Nan suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.

　　Wow, my own master is actually on the list.

　　At this point, it took Meng Nan a long time to calm down. He thought that the Palace Master seemed to have gone to the top of the pavilion. Otherwise, what would he think when he heard the news?

　　On the high platform, Ye Guhan did not stop reading the list and continued, "Sixth and fifth on the Unpolished Jade List. The chief disciple of Tianji Sect, Bai Qianqian, and the current leader of Tianji Sect, Bai Qianqian."

　　When the ranking was announced, it didn't seem to surprise the guests too much.

　　After all, as a contestant who made it to the top 16 during the competition, Bai Qianqian's beauty had long been known. In addition, she and the sect leader were twin sisters, which made many people curious about the sisters and went to see her beauty.

　　Therefore, not only will people not be surprised to see them on the list, but they will wonder why they are only ranked here.

　　How beautiful are the ones in front?

　　Thinking of this, Ye Guhan read out again: "Fourth on the Unpolished Jade List, the Great Xia Royal Family!"

　　"He's actually a member of the royal family?"

　　"There are so many beauties in the palace, it's not surprising."

　　"Brother Li is absolutely right. The fourth on the Unpolished Jade List might be a concubine of the current empress in the West Palace."

　　While the audience was guessing the identity of the fourth beauty, Ye Guhan did not stop for too long. He only let the audience discuss for a while before continuing:

　　"Number four on the Unpolished Jade List, the Great Xia Royal Family! The daughter of the Wei family, the Princess of Chu, Wei Suyi!"

　　"It's actually the princess." Li Yingzhi, the son of the governor, who was sitting in the audience and wearing gorgeous clothes, looked surprised.

　　But the appearance of this name caused many guests to fall into dead silence.

　　Who is Wei Suyi and what does the Princess of Chu look like?

　　I believe this is vague to many ordinary people.

　　But before he could be confused for too long, Ye Guhan immediately threatened:

　　"The third on the Unpolished Jade List is a woman of national beauty and intelligence, the daughter of the Queen of Great Xia, Dongfang Jiuyuan."

　　"really!"

　　And just after Dongfang Jiuyuan's name appeared, that young master Li Yingzhi took a sip of tea, shook his head and said secretly.

　　"Oh, Brother Li, did you guess it in advance? But why are you shaking your head?" The dandy young man who had been sitting next to Li Yingzhi asked.

　　Li Yingzhi put down his tea and said slowly, "When I accompanied my father to Jingzhao before, I saw the princess from afar and was truly stunning. Yingzhi naturally guessed that Princess Jiuyuan was on the list. As for shaking her head, it was because she felt that she was not just third, or... Oh, never mind. Let's continue listening."

　　On the stage, Ye Guhan continued to flip through the scroll and said, "Second on the Unpolished Jade List, born with natural beauty, charming and playful, Fairy Palace..."

　　Hearing this, the dandy young master beside Li Yingzhi was surprised, staring at the stage: "This Immortal Palace actually has another person on the list! This makes it the fourth one, right?"

　　Li Yingzhi glanced at him.

　　Look at how embarrassing it is! There are just a few more people, but he's already gotten so excited.

　　Aren't there a few more members of the royal family?

　　As for why there are four, the reason is very simple.

　　Apart from the new list, the names of the original Rouge List, including Sword Champion Shangguan Yuhe, Emperor Champion Dongfang Lan, Immortal Champion Su Qingli, White Champion Liu Zhouyue, Peach Champion Pei Wan, Zither Champion Su Qiutang, Tassel Champion Dongfang Zhener, and Charm Champion Xue Xiyue, have already become popular.

　　Almost everyone agrees that no matter how many years have passed, no matter whether there are new waves coming, no one should be able to replace their positions!

　　Therefore, together with the previous seventh beauty in the Fairy Palace and the two masters and apprentices Su Qiutang and Su Qingli, many people believed that the Fairy Palace had another stunning beauty.

　　But what Ye Guhan read next stunned everyone present.

　　"The second on the Unpolished Jade List belongs to the Young Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, Su Qiutang."

　　Stunned!

　　What followed was a variety of booing sounds.

　　"How is it possible that Miss Su is not on the Rouge Beauty List? Instead, she is on the Unpolished Jade List?"

　　"Boss Gu, are you sure you're not making a blind call this time? We want an explanation!"

　　"That's right, my Master Su..." Hearing this, Meng Nan, the only male disciple of the Immortal Palace, rushed out of the room and shouted, "Young Master Su, how could you be ranked here? It must be a random ranking!"

　　Listening to these doubts, Ye Guhan felt extremely troubled on the one hand, but on the other hand, because of Boss Gu's threat, he did not dare to slack off for a moment and continued to read.

　　"Finally, the first place on the Unpolished Jade List!" Ye Guhan took a deep breath: "Barbarian Land!"

　　"What!"

　　One word disturbed the tranquility of the deep pool!

　　Are people from the barbarian land worthy of being on the list?

　　Being overwhelmed by the shouting and cursing of the crowd, Ye Guhan had no choice but to use his spiritual energy to cover up the voices of the crowd and shouted: "Barbarian land, Wan Yao Mountain Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox, Dugu Xiwu."

　　Not only is he in a barbarian land, he is also a great monster!

　　Meng Nan kept complaining about this off the court. When did the beauty of his master and senior sister allow a demon to take advantage of them?

　　This is outrageous. Anyone can ride on his master, right?

　　No, it's a monster!

　　No, the word "骑" doesn't sound right either.

　　Oh, never mind. Meng Nan chose to put aside these worries and took the lead in charging and making a fuss again, not knowing that all of this had been recorded in Boss Gu's little notebook.

　　The consequences are unknown.

　　"How can this demon fox be ranked on the Unpolished Jade List!"

　　"This is simply outrageous. No matter how beautiful she is, the people of the Xia Dynasty should be sworn enemies with the people of the barbarians and will never recognize her!"

　　"No, Brother Li. I seem to have a photo of the immortal Dugu's escape from heaven. It seems..."

　　"What? Is there anything else..." Brother Li, who was trying his best to complain, looked down at the picture and thought for a while: "Is there anything else?"

　　In the Qiong Yaoxuan building, Boss Gu, who was climbing up to the rooftop, had his lips slightly raised.

　　Humph, man.

　　"Alright, alright!" Ye Guhan, who couldn't bear the noise any more, finally waved his sleeves. The Ji Yan hand hidden in his sleeves swung out his aura, forcibly shocking all the guests.

　　But what if we suppress it by force?

　　Certain things that have multiple options and certain things that are not justifiable may be criticized and controversial.

　　In this way, there will be more and more people who appear convinced on the surface but are dissatisfied in their hearts.

　　Eventually it led to disaster.

　　Gu Dianxue, who was very smart, was obviously not such a short-sighted person. When she was halfway to the building, she stopped and spread the message to everyone in the hall:

　　"The last time the Rouge Ranking was released, there were also many people who questioned it. Today, I, Gu Dianxue from Qiongyaoxuan, dare to swear by the Way of Heaven that the new list will be true and true. If I break this oath, I will die."

　　After these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

　　Some monks recalled the time when the Rouge List was compiled, and the situation was so similar to the present one.

　　But in the end, when the dust settled, the top eight on the Rouge List were truly worthy of the title.

　　"Then..." Seeing that everyone in the pavilion had quieted down, Ye Guhan picked up the scroll again, unfolded the last half, and read: "The latest Rouge Ranking is now announced, and there are five beauties on the list!"

　　Five Kui.

　　There are only five people?

　　What does this mean? No matter how hard everyone in the audience tried to hold back their doubts, they can no longer be suppressed now.

　　How could there be only five people? Those beauties who were originally among the top eight and did not appear on the Unpolished Jade List, don't they deserve to be included in the new list?

　　Why are several of the top eight not included in the list?

　　Why!

　　However, Gu Dianxue did not respond to the questioning thought this time. She glared at Ye Guhan from afar with her beautiful eyes, asked him to continue reading, and went to the roof alone.

　　Ye Guhan couldn't help but be speechless. This meant that he had to bear all the pressure on his own.

　　"The new top five on the Rouge Ranking, the fourth one!" Unfolding the scroll, Ye Guhan collected his thoughts and began to recite:

　　"One thought of the world, one thought of love. Tears flow across the borders of life and death. Looking back, I don't know that my lover is right in front of me. Why wait for the winter plum blossoms? Their beauty is the chivalry hidden in the corners of their eyebrows and eyes, and their red face is drunk with wine. They came to the world to save the people, teach the truth, solve doubts and stabilize the foundation of the country. But if the white jade is not destroyed, who is the jade! If morality is not abolished, how can we get benevolence and righteousness! And how many people in the world can distinguish between black and white, beauty and ugliness?"

　　"So the top four on the Rouge List, the white one! Is Liu Zhouyue from Penglai Island."

　　The fourth place among the new five champions is still one of the old eight champions.

　　Meng Nan nodded off the court. This was quite normal. After all, the national teacher was so beautiful, so stunningly beautiful that it would be unreasonable not to be selected, right?

　　only...

　　Meng Nan and many other cultivators shook their heads and looked at Ye Guhan. Why was the identity cited not as the Great Xia Imperial Master, but Penglai Island, a place of birth?

　　"The new top five on the Rouge List, the third one!" No one got an answer, so Ye Guhan read it out again:

　　"Clouds have no intention to leave the mountains, and birds know to return when they are tired of flying. Her beauty is beyond the world, thousands of miles away and unattainable. Her skin is as pure as glass and white as snow, and her smile is as subtle as the mortal world. It can be said that she cultivates her mind and wanders in the sky intermittently, and she is like a Taoist fairy in the Moon Palace. Therefore, she ranks third on the Rouge List and is the Immortal Champion."

　　"For the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, Su Qingli."

　　Meng Nan straightened his back and looked, he really deserved the title.

　　Many monks behind him said, "Two of the top five have been chosen, both of them are from the old list. It is true that their beauty is unmatched."

　　Ye Guhan then read out: "The new top five on the Rouge Ranking, the second top one!"

　　"There are thousands of beauties in the world, but only she dares to laugh at the lack of powder and rouge in the palace. Her beauty is stunning, and there is no beauty like it in the ages. The bird in the cage perches on the throne, making the king forget about the country. It is really rare to see a beauty like her, who can captivate the whole country. There is no time to see her under the flower. Therefore, the second place on the Rouge List is the Emperor's."

　　Ye Guhan took a deep breath and said, "For, the Queen of Great Xia, Dongfang Lan!"

　　"It's the Empress."

　　"The Empress can only be ranked second. This... In the past, the Rouge List was ranked in no particular order. I really don't agree with this. In my opinion, the Empress should be ranked at the top."

　　"Brother Li is absolutely right."

　　However, as discussions of the crusade arose, Ye Guhan stared blankly at the empress's name in the scroll for a long time.

　　He continued in a deep voice: "The new top five on the Rouge List, the first one."

　　When they heard this, the discussions changed again. They suddenly remembered that three of the five winners had already been selected.

　　But he only mentioned the second, third and fourth places, not the fifth and first.

　　However, why did he mention the first one first and not the fifth one?

　　"The new top five on the Rouge List, the top one, the best one!" Ye Guhan read out word by word:

　　"It has never existed in ancient times, and it has never been seen in the world. There is a saying that plum blossoms are in the snow, but how can anyone say that their beauty overshadows the past and the present? However, I am afraid that there will be only one person in the past and the future. His beauty cannot be described in words. Even if the pearl curtain is rolled up, the hazy outline is enough to captivate the heart. His eyebrows are like distant mountains and painted rivers, and his eyes are dyed with autumn water. He dares to be the first in the world with a sword, and he stands alone in the world. His body is like jade, his clothes follow the wind, he looks at the idle clouds, and he is proud of the vastness!"

　　"The leader is the Sword Immortal of Qingjing Mountain, Shangguan Yuhe!"

　　As soon as the announcement was made, Mr. Li, who was making trouble in the audience, immediately shut up. Was there any need to refute?

　　That's right, the empress was so beautiful, she dominated the world and was unrivaled in her elegance and grace.

　　However, there is still one person in this world who has only one sword, only one appearance, and only four words.

　　Shangguan Yuhe, cold and beautiful.

　　That's all.

　　"Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal, this title of the first champion is well deserved."

　　"That's right." Li Yingzhi, who was off the court, picked up the wine cup and took a big gulp.

　　Just when everyone was nodding in agreement, Ye Guhan said something that caused an uproar in the entire hall.

　　"The new top five on the Rouge Rankings, fifth!"

　　"Yes, there is a fifth one." "But who is this fifth one?"

　　"I guess it's General Zhen'er, the former champion. You know, I once saw her from afar on the city wall. I think of her majestic figure riding on a horse. Look at her legs. Wow."

　　"Hey, why can't it be the leader of Zui Qing Xuan, the most beautiful Xue Xiyue? Are you all stupid? You have to know how to define a woman as stunningly beautiful?"

　　"how?"

　　"Of course, she has to be charming and sexy when walking, in order to arouse..."

　　"What did you mean? Go on, look at his blushing face."

　　As the discussion was going on, Ye Guhan took a step forward, unfolded the entire red-sealed scroll, and said, "The new top five on the Rouge Ranking, number five!"

　　"One shot fired, unrivalled in the history. In this world, some people are cold and beautiful, some are the most beautiful among all the ladies, some are as ethereal as fairies, and some are heroes. People often lament the end of heroes and the gray hair of beauties. Time is often like the river and sea water flowing eastward, but she seems to be coming against the torrent, catching up with the wave before the previous wave ends."

　　"Her beauty, dressed in purple among the green clouds, with starry eyes and frowning eyebrows. First she showed her beauty and then she showed her charm, her waist was like catkins holding snowflakes. But people have two faces and two voices, and they can't taste her beauty and enjoy her taste. The iron chain rings the bell, and the reeds are covered with green smoke and raincoat. Manzhu emerged from the mud and turned into a pure lotus, and her awe-inspiring character is the true meaning. Therefore, the fifth place on the new list of Rouge List belongs to her."

　　"The Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, the Lord of Piaomiao Mountain, Jiang Xuanji!"

　　"What!" "It's not General Zhen'er, nor is it Sect Leader Xue?"

　　"Who is this?" "He seems to be a cultivator during the competition, but his face is covered, so I can't see his appearance clearly."

　　"That..."

　　—————————

　　The moonlight shines into the well platform of Qiong Yao Pavilion.

　　On the rooftop, the jade-colored high heels lightly stepped on the floor, and I looked up along the white and round ankles wrapped in the high heels.

　　Gu Dianxue had changed into a scholarly robe at some point.

　　The robe is divided into two parts, the upper one is a linen bodice inside, the outer one is a silk jacket, and the outermost one is a thin single-layer shirt with a green elm waist and a open collar. The Ruyi buttons on the shirt should be fastened, but they are not fastened at this time, so the two jade rabbits touching each other under the open collar of the jacket are particularly conspicuous when walking.

　　As for her lower garment, the trousers or skirt that should have been worn with a thin shirt were replaced with short white pants, and she also tied a Canglang horse-faced skirt around her waist.

　　The waist is tightened, and the plump buttocks are revealed through the skirt, creating a graceful curve.

　　After looking at the clothes, look up again.

　　Boss Gu's long bamboo-like hair, which had just become wet from saving people, was now tied up into a high bun with a hairpin inlaid with gold and white jade, looking extremely capable.

　　Coupled with those beautiful eyes that once looked lazy, revealed a vivid gleam in the blink of an eye, giving people an unparalleled sense of oppression that cannot be violated, which is wonderful and wonderful.

　　As for, after reaching the roof of Xuanyu Building.

　　Gu Dianxue's eyes naturally swept to the corner, glanced at the man sitting alone reading a book in the corner, then walked over leisurely, slightly lifted her skirt, and sat down sideways:

　　"It's a rare guest here, but he doesn't order any food or drink. This really makes me frown."

　　"Hehehe."

　　Hearing this, the man who was reading a book put down the chess manual and looked at the beautiful woman sitting opposite him. A gleam flashed in his eyes and he laughed again: "Boss Gu, you are joking."

　　After he finished speaking, he was seen holding a book in his right hand, and with his left hand on his right hand, he bowed forward and said, "I am not stupid, I am sorry for my intrusive visit, Mr. Gu, please don't mind."

　　"Tsk tsk." Gu Dianxue's eyebrows suddenly frowned, her silver teeth slightly clenched, and a few words popped out from her delicate and attractive lips: "Pretentious, pretentious!"

　　As they chatted, Gu Dianxue leaned back in the chair, thinking of a plan: "I'm not stupid at chess, so don't be so hypocritical in front of me, okay?"

　　Qi Bu Chi narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything for the time being.

　　Gu Dianxue suddenly lowered half of her body slightly. In the moonlight, the straps under her jacket gradually slid down her snow-white shoulders, and her soft breasts were faintly visible under her charming collarbone line.

　　A charming voice rang out: "Let me guess, Zui Qing Xuan has set his sights on me and wants to capture me to be used as a furnace?"

　　Qi Bu Chi turned his head away and looked up at the moonlight: "Boss Gu, why bother testing me? The Qi in front of you is still the same Qi, and has never changed."

　　Gu Dianxue then hooked up the suspenders under her jacket, straightened up, slowly let go of the blush on her beautiful face, and said, "Ahem, you did those things in Honghualou behind the court's back, and you still say you haven't changed?"

　　Qi Buchi said in a deep voice: "As upright as a gentleman's body, as upright as a warrior's chest."

　　"Come on, you're so audacious." Boss Gu regained his composure and said, "You don't come here for no reason. Tell me, do you want to do business?"

　　At that time, Qi Buchi turned around and said: "Yes."

　　"I know you didn't come to see my half-old friend on purpose." Then, Gu Dianxue picked up the wine pot on the table and took out the wine cup to add wine: "It's a pity that I don't want to do business with you."

　　Qi Buchi waited for Gu Dianxue to fill the glass with wine and said to himself, "These two transactions, the first one is to buy people, and the second one is to buy wine."

　　"Qi Buchi, Qiong Yao Xuan is a legitimate business, not an illegal business." Hearing Qi Buchi's words, Gu Dianxue rubbed his lips with the edge of the cup, and with a rosy face, he stretched out a finger, waved it in front of Qi Buchi, and said, "Let's not do it."

　　After being rejected twice by Gu Dianxue, Qi Bu Chi put down the chess manual and took out a bag full of "things" from his sleeve.

　　"Is it enough to fill a high-level Qiankun bag with five-element colored crystals?"

　　"not enough."

　　Qi Bu Chi took another bag and said, "A thousand Tai Sui Di Bao plants, is that enough?"

　　"not enough."

　　"…"

　　Soon, the table was filled with a large number of Qiankun bags. Qi Buchi faced Boss Gu directly and said, "The rule of Qiongyaoxuan is that there is no business that we will not do. Boss Gu, why don't you just tell me, what chips should I offer to impress you?"

　　"Bargain?" Gu Dianxue gently put down the wine cup, smiled slightly, and said sweetly: "How about taking your life?"

　　Hearing this, Qi Bu Chi still squinted his eyes, not surprised or annoyed, and responded:

　　"How can a chess idiot's life be so valuable? However, since Boss Gu is unwilling to accept the price, it doesn't matter. I just want to ask you to listen to the details of the transaction first."

　　Gu Dianxue blinked her big eyes, old man.

　　Is this referring to herself?

　　Qi Buchi was very smart. He spoke before Boss Gu could react, "Actually, for the first deal, even if I didn't mention it, Boss Gu might have done it himself. It's just that Qi brought it up to get a confirmed number."

　　Gu Dianxue narrowed her eyes slightly, her face cold: "You chess players, don't you feel tired calculating this and that all day long?"

　　"I loved chess when I was young, and later I was taught Taoism by Wengui. From then on, I saw the world, ghosts, gods, monsters, demons and alien races." Qi Buchi said leisurely, speaking his own truth: "Today, a hundred years of life have passed in a hurry. Becoming an immortal? Living forever? In the end, it is just like a mayfly in the world, a grain of sand in the ocean. I have fully realized my life, and I just want to prove my truth with chess, to ask a question, to ask a question..."

　　As he spoke, Qi Bu Chi stood up, opened his deep eyes and looked into the night: "Go ask the gods of this outer world, why the way of heaven is unfair, and why the world is fair! Even if I anger these so-called gods, I will have no regrets. Luo Qi is worthy of it!"

　　Gu Dianxue looked at it, lowered his head and smiled: "If the year is not cold, one cannot know the pine and cypress; if the matter is not difficult, one cannot know that the gentleman is always there."

　　After hearing what Boss Gu said, Qi Buchi turned around and said, "Boss Gu's words are as good as gold. Now you should believe that Qi has not changed, right?"

　　It hasn't changed. Gu Dianxue said, "That's all. But I don't want to get involved in your shit. I will only help him once to give him a chance to survive. Other than that, it has nothing to do with me."

　　"That's great." Qi Buchi smiled and sat down, saying, "As for the second deal."

　　Suddenly, before he could finish, Gu Dianxue interrupted:

　　"Don't climb up the ladder. I have already broken the rules set by my family by agreeing to your first deal. You are not stupid, so listen to my advice. Xu You's game does not need you to join, and it is not your turn to join. Even if you die, it is not worth it to plant a hidden chess piece in it. Why bother?"

　　If you are not crazy about chess, you will not be moved by anything.

　　In fact, Boss Gu knew exactly why Qi Bu Chi came to him, and Qi Bu Chi also knew that she knew everything.

　　Therefore, everyone was talking in a confused manner, with some testing and more exhortations and questions.

　　Gu Dianxue sighed and waved his hand to clear away the flower bed and wine utensils on the table: "You are not stupid, you want to buy some wine? You can't afford those three bowls of wine. Not only can you not afford it, but with your current state of mind and too many obsessions, you will die suddenly if you drink half a cup."

　　The three bowls of wine were brewed by Mr. Gu, the boss of Qiong Yao Xuan, with great effort and care. They are famous for their flavors: Chang Xiang Si, Duan Chang Chou, and Qian Qiu Zui.

　　It is said that after drinking three bowls of wine, one bowl can temporarily enter a cave, and two bowls can help one glimpse the supreme secret of Taoism.

　　As for the third bowl, I was drunk and absurd, dreaming of a thousand years, and after a thousand years, I saw a god. The gain was great, but the price was great!

　　Three Bowls of Wine became famous more than a decade ago. Many people have tried it, but few can get over the hangover. Only a few can drink the third bowl of wine.

　　Xu You, Su Qingshan, Shangguan Yuhe.

　　However, even for the three of them, they only took a small sip of the third bowl of wine and did not dare to drink too much.

　　After hearing Gu Dianxue's advice, Qi Buchi had no intention of backing down. He looked towards the snow-white forest in the distance outside the city and said calmly, "Life cannot be without wine."

　　What he said made Boss Gu stunned.

　　Finally, seeing Qi Bu Chi's clear expression, Gu Dianxue's thin mouth corners curled up bitterly. She waved her sleeves, and three wine jars of different colors, yellow, white, and red, were placed on the table.

　　Then Gu Dianxue took out three wine gourds, drew out the wine from each jar and poured it into the gourds, and then threw them to Qi Buchi.

　　"Here you go."

　　"Thank you." Qi Buchi took the wine and bowed his hands in thanks: "See you again if we are lucky!"

　　After saying this, Qi Bu Chi jumped over the railing from the high-rise building of Qiong Yao Xuan as if he was in a hurry to get away. His figure disappeared into the busy city and his whereabouts were unknown.

　　Gu Dianxue, who was left alone on the high platform, stood up, her pale clothes fluttering in the wind. Her beautiful eyes first saw Qi Bu Chi off, and then she looked deeply into the distance at the snow-white forest.

　　After a long while, she turned sideways, picked up the jar of "Zui Qianqiu" red wine on the table, tore open the seal, raised her head and began to drink it in big gulps.

　　The thin green catalpa shirt was gradually stained with patches of Changchun color by the wine. Under the collar and snow-white neck, the jade rabbit began to appear, and two red spots appeared through the clothes.

　　When I saw her again, she walked down the top floor of Qiong Yao Xuan with unsteady steps, muttering: "Dragons go out of the sea, tigers go down the mountain. The world is a big dream, and life has several autumn chills...hiss...who will share the lonely light with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival, holding a cup and looking north sadly. This poem by Su Hezhong...is really fresh and vigorous."

　　At the bottom of the wooden ladder, Liu Tiezhu, who had been waiting outside, saw his boss walk out drunk and quickly reached out to support him: "Boss, you are drunk. I will help you to rest."

　　Unexpectedly, just as the hand was approaching Boss Gu's body, it was hit hard by the sheathed sword of miscellaneous thoughts that flew over.

　　Gu Dianxue, who was holding the wine jar, took the opportunity to gently put it on Hengkong Feiyu's Za Nian: "I'm not drunk~"

　　As she spoke, she raised her courage and shouted to the people downstairs: "Read out the list of geniuses!"

　　———————————

　　A sweet and drunken voice leapt down the building.

　　On the high platform, the singing and dancing girls waved their sleeves and left the stage one by one. Ye Guhan, who was standing nearby holding the list of geniuses, was about to go up and read it out.

　　But suddenly he felt a breeze blowing past him, and the scroll of the Tianjiao Ranking in his hand was suddenly snatched away.

　　Later I saw a high platform.

　　Gu Dianxue, dressed in a warehouse uniform, held the red silk hanging from the skylight with her left hand, with a sword on her waist, and grabbed the snatched Tianjiao List with her right hand, then staggered onto the red carpet.

　　"What is a Heavenly Pride? It is the roar of a dragon!"

　　On the stage, Gu Dianxue slowly read out the list of geniuses. Below the stage, Dugu Xiwu hid behind a pillar with his arms folded and glanced sideways. Meng Nan had walked to the side of Master Li at some point, and they were flattering each other about the order of the Rouge List.

　　Halfway up the stairs, the Moon Shadow Fairy Su Qingli, who was trying to look for Boss Gu, seemed to be affected by some unexpected event and disappeared into light.

　　Back over there, Gu Dianxue, who needed to read but disliked the length of the process, threw up the scroll of the Tianjiao Ranking and blasted out with one palm. The sword energy in his palm seemed to turn into mellow wine, making the words on the scroll appear in the air. Everyone rushed to read the text at once.

　　"On the list of geniuses, there are ten outstanding talents."

　　"Ten of them?" "Hey, that good-looking young man over there, stop interrupting us!"

　　"Okay, keep reading."

　　"The tenth talent is Ye Ming from the Night Palace, 25 years old, in the eighth level of the Return Spirit, holding a knife and a soft snake; the ninth talent is Liu Yang from the Xiaoyao Sect, 21 years old, in the seventh level of the Return Spirit, holding a gun and wandering; the eighth talent is Zui Qing Xuan, Yun Wu Yue, holding a fan and dust. The seventh talent is Meng Nan from the Immortal Palace, 29 years old, in the ninth level of the Return Spirit, holding a fist as a weapon."

　　"The sixth best talent is Su Qiutang from the Immortal Palace, he is 23 years old, he has reached the ninth level of spiritual realm, he can play the zither with great sensitivity; the fifth best talent is Su Zuo from the Su family, he is 17 years old, he has reached the ninth level of spiritual realm, he can wield a spear and destroy an enemy; the fourth best talent is Cao Shaobei, a sword cultivator from Qingjing Mountain, he is 29 years old, he has reached the eighth level of spiritual realm, he can wield a sword and shake a mountain."

　　"The third best talent is Jiang Xuanji from Piaomiao Mountain, sixteen years old, in the first level of spiritual return, holding a gun and no name."

　　The third Jiang Xuanji? The one on the Rouge List?

　　Meng Nan was originally happy that he could be on the list. He was also lamenting that the senior sister was ranked higher than him. When he was even wondering who Su Zuo was, he suddenly exclaimed: "One person is on two lists!"

　　Of course, there were also many guest monks hiding in the side rooms, nodding and shaking their heads secretly. Based on their observations from the competition in the past few days, Jiang Xuanji did have the ability to be included in this list, but was his score a little inflated?

　　Before it was finished, the words of the sword energy turning into wine appeared one after another: "The third best talent, Liu Guzhou from Penglai Island, seventeen years old, returned to the ninth realm of spirits, and broke mountains with a sword."

　　"Tied for third place?" Meng Nan thought.

　　Someone at the side continued to read out: "The second best talent is the barbarian prince Wu Wenmuben, whose Central Plains name is Huang Feng, thirteen years old, in the eighth level of spiritual realm, and can hold a stick like he wishes."

　　"How could a barbarian take second place?" "Shame! This is a shame for the people of Daxia!"

　　Someone who was curious about the follow-up did not complain and continued to read: "The second best talent is Su Yun, a sword cultivator from Qingjing Mountain. He is seventeen years old, at the peak of the Return Spiritual Peak, and holds a green scroll sword."

　　Immediately afterwards, there was discussion in the venue.

　　"It's Junior Brother Su. He has actually reached this level." "Thanks to Qingjing Mountain, we didn't let this damn barbarian steal the limelight!"

　　"You are worthy of being my brother." Even Meng Nan shouted.

　　At this moment, all the sword energy and characters in the air dissipated and gathered together, forming the first formation for Liangcai. After three breaths, they exploded!

　　"The best talent, Du Zhu, a disciple of Fahua Temple! Seventeen years old, at the peak of spiritual attainment, with no weapons!"

　　"How could that monk who didn't shave his head become the number one among the younger generation?" Off the field, some people were obviously confused and asked questions, and some monks even asked: Who is this person?

　　However, Boss Gu, as usual, ignored such questions. If he wanted an answer, he would have to spend more time and find the truth himself.

　　After that, the talented people on the Tianjiao list finished speaking. Gu Dianxue took two or three steps on the high platform, came to the edge of the stage, moistened his throat, and said, "Tianjiao list!"

　　The big one is finally coming.

　　The crowded figures in Qiong Yaoxuan all settled down. There were talented people and geniuses on the Tianjiao list. The talented people were like the unpolished jades on the Rouge list, and the geniuses were the real Rouge beauties. The strength of the people chosen by them were all rare and outstanding in the world.

　　"There are outstanding people in the world, and there are ten geniuses in total!" Gu Dianxue recited slowly, passing on every word accurately: "The tenth one is the old abbot of Huanxi Temple, who is in the sixth realm of Dongxu, holding a prayer wheel, and is a Zen champion!"

　　The old host was indeed quite powerful. Many monks in the room were secretly thinking about this. It seemed that the barbarians had really gotten a chance to catch their breath in the past few years under the rule of the empress.

　　"The ninth armor, Su Qingli of the Immortal Palace, the seventh realm of the Void Realm, holding a cloud belt, is the Immortal Armor!"

　　The Immortal Leader Immortal Armor, Meng Nan straightened his back silently for this, and heard Boss Gu speak again: "The eighth armor, Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox, Dugu Xiwu, Dongxu Seven Realms, is the demon armor!"

　　"The seventh armor, the Great Khan of the Yi tribe, Enyel, is at the eighth level of the Void Realm, and is the Jie armor!"

　　Reading this, some people frowned slightly. The four last seats of the Tianjiao were occupied by a barbarian, a Xia, a demon and a Yi, each occupying one seat?

　　Then, Gu Dianxue said, "The sixth player, who is not crazy about chess, is at the peak of Hua Yun, and holds Heluo and Wutu, and is the chess player!"

　　The peak of Hua Yun actually entered the top ten of the geniuses, which caused a lot of uproar. Thinking about who had won the title of "A" across the border back then, there were only two people, namely Xu You, the Book Armor, and Su Qingshan, the Dragon Armor.

　　And now there is one more person.

　　Then, Gu Dianxue's words stirred up a thousand waves: "The fifth armor, Qingjing Mountain Su Yun, the peak of the return spirit, is the sword armor!"

　　"What!"

　　"Both the Talented and the Prodigy? What kind of a mess is this? Talented is ranked second, and here is ranked fifth?" "Could it be that the Green Scroll Sword passed down by Su Jianxian is so powerful?"

　　"You are actually concerned about this. The title of Sword Armor has been taken away. What title can our Shangguan Sword Immortal be given?"

　　Listening to the comments below, Gu Dianxue shook his head silently and continued to read: "The fourth armor, the king of the barbarian court, the Wu Yu command, the eighth level of dragon energy, is the mad armor!"

　　Enter the list of geniuses with the dragon energy of humanity?

　　Many Daxia monks objected passionately. Where did the humanity and dragon spirit of the barbarians come from?

　　"The third group, the two old men Gu Han from the Barbarian Clan, are at the ninth level of the Void Realm, holding the Lian Shen Pestle, and are the Earth Group!"

　　"Another barbarian?" "How is that possible? There are only two top-ranked ones left. Could it be that our Great Xia's Dongxu cultivators and national masters cannot even make the list? Are they higher than these people?"

　　"Could it be possible that Boss Gu made a mistake in his calculations? Master Liu must be at the seventh or eighth level of the Void Realm. Even if he can't make it into the top five, at least he won't be squeezed out!"

　　"No." A cultivator shook his head and said, "The Tianjiao list has always been jointly deduced by Qiong Yaoxuan and Tianjimen. Even if Boss Gu, the know-it-all, is wrong, Tianjimen's magic can't be wrong. It's just that this ranking makes me curious and worried about the rankings behind."

　　"The second place in the Tianjiao list." As Gu Dianxue announced the first two places, the spectators all listened carefully: "The second place, the Queen of Daxia, the ninth level of human dragon energy, the ninth level of cave emptiness; holding a mace to cut the sky, holding a phoenix whip, wearing a dragon robe and a phoenix crown! She is the Phoenix Class!"

　　"The Empress is actually second?"

　　"How is it possible that with such a high level of cultivation and the blessing of the human dragon energy, he is not the best in the world?"

　　As they were discussing, Gu Dianxue spoke, and the whole audience fell silent.

　　"The top of the Tianjiao list! Shangguan Yuhe!"

　　Meng Nan below frowned tightly, countless cultivators showed puzzled expressions, and some sword cultivators nodded in agreement.

　　The title of the best in the world must belong to the current number one kendo master!

　　Gu Dianxue continued to read on the stage: "The top of the Tianjiao list, Shangguan Yuhe, half a step into the ninth realm of the Void Realm, holding the sword Hongchao, for..."

　　As he spoke, everyone in the audience, including Lady Boss Gu, took a deep breath, waiting for Shangguan Jianxian to be given the title of Jia.

　　However, when Gu Dianxue finished speaking, everyone was almost stunned.

　　"For, sword armor!"

　　Among the new top ten on the Tianjiao list, one is from the demon race, four are from the barbarians, and five are from Daxia, two of whom are from the sword armor race.

　　The titles of "one class, one path" and "one way" have always been given to the top candidates, which also means that from the day the list is announced, the fortune of swordsmanship in the world will be divided into two paths!

　　—————————

　　The news of Qiong Yaoxuan's announcement will spread throughout the world along with the falling snow in Liangzhou late at night.

　　But how could the people of the world know that, on this night that shook the world, the excitement outside Liangzhou City was no less than the announcement.

　　Under the moon.

　　Shangguan Yuhe was nowhere to be seen, and snowflakes and fallen leaves were drifting away.

　　On both sides of the forest, Su Yun, dressed in a green shirt, stood with his hands behind his back, and opposite him, Huang Feng, who had transformed into "Cao Shaobei", was stationed with the Mountain-Shaking Sword, and they were facing each other.

　　Then a wisp of night wind blew past the two of them. They both lowered their bodies suddenly, neither of them using swords. Their momentum exploded, their bodies flashed, and their palms and fists clashed. All the snow leaves that fell in the forest were shaken away, and the energy that had nowhere to vent surrounded the collision of the two of them, and a huge pit a foot deep popped out on the ground!

　　However, to explain this scene, we still need to reverse the flow of time for a moment.

　　When one thing is said and done, another thing comes next, as the saying goes, a dragon comes out of the sea and a tiger descends from the mountain.

　　The swordsman traveled far to the barbarian land, and the storyteller from Qiong Yao Xuan came on stage again, gently waving a palm-leaf fan and saying:

　　"To know what happens next, please wait for the next chapter."
