89: Chapter 87: Pei Yuhan, the White-robed Female Swordsman? Qiong Ming Chaos

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: White-Clad Female Sword Fairy · Pei Yuhan? Qiongming Intrusion?!

"Chu Shu, if I don't challenge Wanjian Mountain, will you have trouble explaining it to the other Sword Revered Masters?"

Considering the Old Ancestor's command that Chu Yue mentioned earlier, and Xuan Yuan Jingshen and the others' attitudes, Gu Shengge asked again, feeling uneasy.

Chu Yue waved his hand, telling Gu Shengge not to worry.

"The right to interpret is with me, Chu Shu. If I say you challenged it, then you challenged it. If that Old Ghost Xuan Yuan dares to have an opinion, tell him to go find the Old Ancestor. Besides, the Sect's Disciples don't know about this matter, so you don't need to worry about these issues."

After the Ye Ran incident exploded, Xuan Yuan Jingshen and the others were punished by the Sword Sect Old Ancestor, forbidden from interfering in Sect affairs for a hundred years.

Now, most of the Sword Sect's power is in Chu Yue's hands, so why should he care about those old fellows?

"Uh, Chu Shu is domineering."

Watching Chu Yue's spirited demeanor, Gu Shengge could only give a dry compliment.

He originally thought that this trip to Lingxiao Sword Sect, to challenge Wanjian Mountain, would be like the immortal cultivation novels of his previous life, with ten thousand swords Ming (humming) in unison, or ten thousand swords submitting.

Now it seems he thought too much.

In Gu Shengge's opinion, even if he were truly allowed to challenge Wanjian Mountain, those plotlines from immortal cultivation novels wouldn't appear.

After all, he is neither a Sword Cultivator nor does he practice swordsmanship, so how could he stir the ten thousand swords?

Haven't you seen that in some novels, the protagonist can cause ten thousand swords to hum in unison entirely because of the System, having nothing to do with himself?

A moment later, the two uncle and nephew had talked enough. Chu Yue formed a hand seal, and a spiritual message flew out from Zhen Yue Hall.

Before long, a white-clad figure arrived on a sword, stopping outside the hall. She bowed respectfully and said, "Revered Master, may I ask why you summoned this Disciple?"

Chu Yue: "Come in."

The white-clad figure heard this and stepped into Zhen Yue Hall. Gu Shengge then cast his gaze upon her.

The white-clad woman had an exceptionally beautiful appearance. Her three thousand strands of black hair were tied up with a wooden hairpin, a faint green sword pattern adorned her brow, and her delicate, melon-seed shaped face was cool and ethereal, with a white, tender neck adorned with a light, white silk ribbon.

Her white robes fluttered, her figure was graceful, her fair hands were like jade, and a heavy, plump fruit hung from her slender willow waist. Her jade legs were long, a perfect golden ratio. A Phoenix Jade hung from her waist, emitting a faint green light, with wisps of Sword Intent lingering around it, sharp yet light, truly a formidable female Sword Fairy who had achieved success in her cultivation.

Seeing Gu Shengge look at his Disciple, Chu Yue quickly introduced her to him:

"Gu, Kid, let me introduce you. This is my eldest Disciple, Pei Yuhan. She has only been Cultivating for thirty springs and is already a Nascent Soul Cultivator. She has also reached the Realm of Dao Heart Clarity, and like you, she is on the Xuantian Tower's Qiongsang Prodigy List. It's just that she's not as outstanding as you, Kid, barely reaching seventeenth."

"Pei Yuhan?"

Chu Yue introduced her at length, but Gu Shengge only registered the white-clad female Sword Fairy's name. A hint of surprise flashed deep within his heavy pupils.

A white robe, and a Sword Cultivator? Was Qiongming intruding? This really shouldn't be happening!

Zhenyue Sword Master nodded, a hint of pride on his face, and chuckled, "That's right. I suppose you've heard of this girl's name before. She's quite famous among the younger generation in Qiongsang, though of course, she can't compare to you, Kid."

"Yu Han, this is Gu Shengge, the Daozi of Qiankun Taoist Sect. He will be staying in Ten Thousand Sword City for a few days. During this time, you will take Gu Daozi around Ten Thousand Sword City."

Pei Yuhan heard this and nodded to Gu Shengge, bowing, "Greetings, Gu Daozi."

"Greetings, Miss Pei..."

Gu Shengge returned the bow. He had originally intended to call her Fairy Pei, but the plot of Qiongming involuntarily surfaced in his mind, so he changed his address to Miss.

Seeing that the two had introduced themselves, Chu Yue gave Pei Yuhan a few more instructions, then said:

"You young people continue to chat. I'll take my leave first; I still need to see the Old Ancestor."

With that, Zhenyue Sword Master transformed into a sword light and flew away, leaving Pei Yuhan to host Gu Shengge.

"Gu Daozi, please follow me."

Pei Yuhan made a gesture for Gu Shengge to follow. Gu Shengge nodded and left Zhen Yue Hall with her.

On the way to the guest hall, Gu Shengge followed behind Pei Yuhan. He looked at the white-clad female Sword Fairy's graceful back, and the disgusting plot of Qiongming resurfaced in his mind again, impossible to forget!

Damn it, that's truly a cancerous growth!

Gu Shengge cursed inwardly. How did he ever finish reading that book back then?!

Feeling the blatant gaze from behind, Pei Yuhan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure arising within her. However, due to Gu Shengge's status as a guest, she couldn't show it.

"Miss Pei, may I be so bold as to ask who gave you this name?"

Suddenly, a question echoed in Pei Yuhan's ear. She didn't turn her head, replying indifferently, "My father gave it to me. Why, does this name offend Gu Daozi?"

Gu Shengge heard the unfriendliness in the white-clad female Sword Fairy's tone and quickly explained:

"Miss Pei misunderstands. I merely found your name very similar to a female character in a storybook I once read, hence my question. Please forgive any offense given."

"Gu Daozi overthinks. It's just a name; there's no offense given or not given."

Pei Yuhan's tone was flat, making Gu Shengge quite awkward, yet he couldn't resist asking, "Then, Miss Pei, do you happen to know Ye Linyuan, Lin Xuanyan, or perhaps Ji Yitian?"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Shengge regretted it, feeling for the first time that he had a loose tongue.

Her name was just the same; how could she possibly know those guys?

Upon hearing these three names, Pei Yuhan, with her Dao Heart Clarity, immediately felt a strong malicious intent, and her spiritual platform was shrouded in a layer of gloom, as if cursed by an evil Cultivator.

This made Pei Yuhan's brows furrow even tighter, and her impression of Gu Shengge plummeted. She said coldly:

"Gu Daozi should read fewer storybooks, lest you fall prey to their influence and harm yourself."

"Miss Pei's admonition is correct."

Realizing Pei Yuhan's displeasure, Gu Shengge became even more awkward. He nodded repeatedly, not daring to ask another question.

He was afraid that if he asked any more, Pei Yuhan might draw her sword and cut him down.

To avoid further mishaps, Gu Shengge secretly used his spiritual power to erase the Qiongming plot that kept appearing in his mind.

Instantly, Gu Shengge felt a clarity in his spiritual platform and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This thing was truly too poisonous. Just hearing a similar name had made him fall prey to its influence.

If this evil book were to appear in Azure Expanse, and Cultivators read it, who knows how many people's Dao Hearts would be shattered!

Wait!

Suddenly, Gu Shengge realized a very serious matter.

The novel he had given to Immortal King of Karma and Reincarnation for entertainment... it seemed, possibly, perhaps, it should have included the Qiongming Goddess Record, right?

But Gu Shengge then thought, although Qiongming was very poisonous, with an Immortal King's state of mind, he definitely wouldn't be affected.

Hmm, definitely not.

Inside the jade disc of creation, Immortal King of Karma and Reincarnation put down the Battle Through The Heavens he had just finished reading and continued to search for spiritual sustenance among a collection of novels.

"Hmm? Qiongming Goddess Record, this name is quite interesting."

Immortal King of Karma and Reincarnation was attracted by the title. Unprepared, he thus opened the Qiongming Goddess Record...
