Bulwark of Light

Chapter 387 Dinner
Did you fail?
Gong Zi froze in place.

The mad desire to fight was still accumulated in his chest, turning into hot blood, ready to splash out at any time, but he knew that everything was over.

lost.

His aura has reached the highest level and cannot be higher.

This is the "letting go" of the white sleeves.

He wanted to see how far he could go.

So Gong Zi "cherished" the opportunity given by Bai Xiu.

Just as he "cherished" this battle!
The moment he invited Bai Xiu to fight with him... Gong Zi was ready to fail. He wanted to see how big the gap between himself and Nagano Wudi was.

But the real result came out.

It was as if something had been shattered inside him.

Gong Zi knew...Bai Xiu's style of letting himself superimpose his fighting spirit was not humiliation, but respect.

Bai Xiu wanted to see all his strength.

He tried his best, but came too far.

Physical victory.

The gap in combat timing control.

And the crushing of the final field duel.

Involved in "every link" of this victory...he was completely defeated, and the most painful thing for Gong Zi was that he faced the white sleeves of the "seventh floor of the deep water area" who were equal to his own strength.

He could see that from the beginning to the end of this battle, Bai Xiu did not use any power higher than the "seventh floor" to attack him.

After saying "Concession", Bai Xiu left the venue.

Everyone in the auditorium got up with complicated expressions and got up together, ready to leave.

The rookie battle is over.

The battle between Gong Zi and Bai Xiu... has also come to an end.

Today is a very "commemorative" day.

There is no doubt that this is the highest-quality rookie battle in the past 20 years, but the defeated Lian Zhou, the young master of the Gong family who successfully comprehended the dream of fire, and countless geniuses who fell along the way... all became white sleeves foil.

……

……

Gong Zi stood there alone.

The joy of comprehending the "dream of the fire seed" in my heart was shattered to pieces, leaving nothing left.

He lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

Standing alone in the middle of the venue.

The chairman of the committee, Zhou Wei, patted the young man on the shoulder, without saying anything, and withdrew from the last field.

One after another, the figures dispersed, and there were not many people left in the huge venue.

Gu Shen is still there, Shen Li is still there, the elders of the Gong family are still there...

In addition, Gong Zi's "best friend" Mu Nan is also there, but the members of the Mu family have almost left.

Gu Shen noticed that there was a young woman sitting in the seat where Mu's family was seated. She sat quietly in the corner and did not leave, choosing to wait silently.

Shen Li came to Gu Shen's side.

The little iron man said in a complicated voice, "Although he lost...but he is already very remarkable..."

He didn't dare to say this to Gong Zi, so he could only whisper to Gu Shen.

This is actually the true thought in his heart.

It is not terrible to lose, what is terrible is to be timid before fighting!
Facing Bai Xiu, how many people dare to challenge head-on like Gong Zi?

It was hard to win the championship of the rookie contest and comprehend the "Dream of the Fire Seed". This is a once-in-a-ten-year opportunity to build momentum. I would rather give up than choose to challenge Baixiu... For this kind of thing, ask yourself, Shen Li thought. Do it, but can't do it.

Gu Shen hesitated to speak.

He didn't say anything, just sat silently in the first row, waiting for Gong Zi to recover.

The elders of the Gong family did not dare to step forward, let alone speak out to disturb them.

It's been a long time.

Gong Zi took a deep breath and revived her spirit.

He immediately walked towards the first row, but he didn't go in the direction of his family, but in the direction of Gu Shen.

This surprised many people.

"Brother Gu..."

Holding Tie Yi in her hands, Gong Zi calmed down her emotions, and said slowly: "Without your Tie Yi, facing Lian Zhou, I wouldn't have won so easily."

"polite……"

Gu Shen shook his head, took Tie Yi, and said seriously: "You deserve the title for winning the championship."

Judging from Gong Zi's explosive killing power when facing Bai Xiu.

Even without armor.

This battle...he has a high probability of winning!
Lian Zhou is a "pseudo-seventh floor" that forcibly broke through with the authority of the spiritual link. To put it bluntly, his mental power is not stable... If he fights with all his strength, he won't last long, and he will be defeated.

What's more, apart from Iron Clothes, Gong Zi still has the protection of a top-level sealed item like [Huang Zhong].

If there is no Iron Clothes, [Paper Cutting] will probably cut into pieces [Huang Zhong], the two sealed items will both be greatly damaged, and then Gong Zi will win with her strength... It is true that she will pay a higher price, but the result will not change .

"Also, I want to thank you..."

Gong Zi took a deep breath again, and said, "If there is no Ni... Bai Xiu would not fight me."

Hear this.

Shen Li was startled, and looked at Gu Shen in surprise.

What does it mean?
Bai Xiu's attitude at the beginning did not look like he was going to fight... Is it because of Gu Shen that he finally agreed to fight?

Gong Zi could see clearly.

His attention was on Bai Xiu from beginning to end... It could be seen that Bai Xiu didn't want to fight with him.

It was only at the last moment that I heard something.

Only then did I choose to stand up.

Gong Zi caught the inadvertent change in Bai Xiu's expression.

He is not stupid, he can vaguely guess that it must be Gu Shen... who said something for him.

"no need to thank me."

Gu Shen still shook his head, and said softly, "This is a fight you deserve."

Although most of the time, they are in retreat.

But Gu Shen sees the things in the yard, he is very clear... Gong Zi has put in a lot of effort for the "dream of fire seed" and the "newcomer battle". In fact, the mountain that Gong Zi really has to face is It wasn't the green flame of enlightenment, nor the Dabi of Snow Forbidden City.

But white sleeves.

This is the mountain that countless geniuses who dream of becoming the "God Throne" must overcome!
Inevitable.

That person stood before tens of thousands of people, on top of a mountain.

……

……

The Gong family still held a "celebration banquet".

Although she lost to Baixiu, Gong Zi is still a well-deserved "top genius" in the Forbidden Snow City. It is quite heavy news to realize the "Dream of Tinder".

In the deep water area forum, those who did not arrive at the final scene in person sighed.

After Gong Zi won the rookie championship, she was defeated by Bai Xiu. This news caused a commotion.

Some speeches expressed emotion, since purple is born, why sleeves.

Some remarks also mentioned "Gu Shen"... Many people thought that if Gu Shen participated in the competition, he would probably look like this, and he might not even be Gong Zi's opponent.

Not long ago, Gong Zi invited Gu Shen to a certain dinner party at the Gong family.

At that time, Gu Shen shied away once with the reason of "busy business".

But this time, he didn't shirk.

Of course, part of the reason is that things have been quiet recently.

Another part of the reason is that Gu Shen is really happy for Gong Zi from the bottom of his heart...

The dinner was held in a manor in the Snow Forbidden City.

The arrangement of the whole dinner was very easy. The Gong family set up seats on the lawn, and they were free to sit and take meals freely.

Gu Shen stood alone in the corner.

He habitually found a remote and deserted place, silently watching the flow of people gathered at the banquet not far away.It can only be said that it is worthy of being one of the five families. The celebration banquet of the Gong family tonight attracted many "celebrities" from Nagano's aristocratic families.

He saw many familiar faces.

Many people from the top five families and the younger generation have come here.

"Brother Gu."

Bai Lu changed into a white evening dress, she changed her previous "witch" image, her makeup was pure, and she came to Gu Shen's side holding a wine glass, the moment she spoke, Gu Shen almost didn't recognize her.

"Miss Bai." Gu Shen clinked his glasses politely.

Since Bai Lu came to Chunyu Temple last time to thank Xiaoxiuzi, his impression of this crazy woman has changed a lot.

Recalling that when she first came to Nagano, Bai Lu had tripped her a lot... But in the end, she always ended up at a disadvantage.

From Gu Shen's point of view, Bai Lu's tricks are nothing compared to Han Dang.

Since I have taken the title of "S-rank", I have to bear part of the hostility.

As for the relationship between him and Bai Lu, there is actually no "grievance" to speak of. If the words are explained, the hostility will be resolved, and naturally there will be no Liangzi.

It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

"Today Xiaoxiuzi is willing to fight...it should be you, what did you say?" Bai Lu took a sip of her wine and said softly.

Gu Shen smiled, neither denying nor admitting.

"All in all, thank you." Bai Lu said earnestly, "Xiao Xiuzi is a very stubborn person, and the things he decides are hard to change. Without your help...he probably won't go to battle."

"You don't need to thank me." Gu Shen wrote lightly, "I didn't say those words because of the reputation of the Bai family."

Bai Lu was slightly taken aback.

Gu Shen saw it clearly.

At the last moment, Bai Lu persuaded Bai Xiu to fight... probably because she was worried about the consequences of "resisting the war".

Baixiu doesn't care about these names.

But the Bai family cares.

"Sometimes, it's better for people to live a more relaxed life." Gu Shen said lightly, "It's you, Miss Bai, who dare to come to the Gong family's celebration banquet, you are really courageous..."

Looking around, it seemed that only one of the Bai family appeared.

Thinking about it carefully, the Gong family's celebration banquet, the appearance of the Bai family is really inappropriate... Bai Xiu just defeated Gong Zi, and the heat of this matter almost overwhelmed the news of enlightenment of the dream of Tinder.

If the Bai family participates in this celebration banquet again, it will inevitably be a bit overwhelming.

Even a little provocative.

"That's why I'm the only one here."

"I came here on a special trip to meet you, and I'll leave after drinking this glass of wine." Bai Lu smiled slightly, looked around the venue as well, and said softly, "Surely no one would argue with a...crazy woman like me, right?"

Crazy woman, she re-read it with self-deprecation.

"In this case, the word "weak woman" is more suitable for you. Don't worry, the Gong family won't argue with you." Gu Shen rarely did not add insult to injury, but replaced the three words, softly said: "But... ...You can see me anytime you want, there is no need to come to the celebration banquet to see me."

"Needed."

Bai Lu's smile gradually subsided, and she said slowly: "The reason why I came to see you today is because Xiao Xiuzi has started to retreat, and I should not leave the Bai Clan Hall in the next year."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

"Little sleeve, he asked me to bring you a word."

With a complicated expression, Bai Lu said word by word: "If possible, in the future, he would really like to fight with you."

If this sentence spreads out, it may cause an uproar.

After the rookie battle.

S-level Gu Shen has been forgotten by many people... Now almost no one goes to Chunyuguan to challenge this "Nagano newcomer", partly because Gu Shen is low-key enough, and partly because most people in Snow Forbidden City are not He thinks that Gu Shen is an evildoer who can be as famous as Bai Xiu.

A mountaintop figure like Bai Xiu, in everyone's mind, is an invincible evil genius.

Will there really be an opponent who wants to fight?
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, even Bai Lu herself wouldn't believe it.

She knew that Gu Shen had great potential, and she personally tested the reality of this young man in the "Dream of Thorns"... But no matter how you look at it, she shouldn't have caught Xiao Xiuzi's eyes.

She has always been proud of what Little Sleeves has achieved.

So when Gu Shen stepped into Nagano, got the name of "S-rank", and was compared with Baixiu by people, she felt dissatisfied in her heart.

These hostilities are now resolved.

She still couldn't quite understand how much little sleeves attached to Gu Shen.

What kind of emotion is this?
Cherish each other, be an enemy or a friend?
But in the final analysis, these two people should have only met twice!
And Gu Shen's next answer was to resolve the difficulty in Bai Lu's heart.

Gu Shen smiled, and said calmly: "When I catch up, I will fight him."

The road of practice is to climb to the top of the mountain.

Although tens of thousands of people are coming.

Gu Shen knew very well that the white sleeves standing in front of countless geniuses in Nagano were also a mountain in front of him!
Bai Lu was taken aback.

Gu Shen used the word "chasing".

This shows...he also knows that there is a big gap between himself and Xiaoxiuzi.

Do not know why.

Hearing that Gu Shen admitted that she was not as good as Xiaoxiuzi, Bai Lu was in a good mood, and couldn't help but smile on her face. She drank the wine in her glass and said with a coquettish smile, "Very good... Small sleeves."

Looking at Bai Lu's back curling away.

Gu Shen was a little puzzled.

In the last sentence I said, which word touched the nerves of this crazy woman?Why are you so happy?
……

……

"Brother Gu, why are you so cautious! What are you doing there... We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

After Bai Lu left, Mu Nan walked over quickly, and he eagerly invited Gu Shen to sit down with him.

Gu Shen followed.

When they arrived, they realized that this table was full of acquaintances who often come to the small courtyard... Shen Li, Fatty Luo, Senior Sister Nan Jin, Li Qingsui, and Uncle Gao who escorted Qingsui's little girl at any time.

"Everyone is here, and I'm the only one missing?" Gu Shen was startled, a little surprised.

"Of course, sit down quickly." Mu Nan chuckled and said, "If that witch didn't look so scary, I would have dragged you away a long time ago..."

Gu Shen smiled helplessly.

It turned out that Mu Nan was afraid of Bai Lu...but that's true, at this juncture, if this crazy woman dares to go to the banquet alone, even passers-by would want to hide away, for fear of being provoked.

After taking his seat, Gu Shen punished himself with a drink, only to find out that there was another strange woman.

This is a short-haired young woman, wearing a plain long dress, with a simple and elegant face and light makeup. Sitting with Lu Nanjin, Senior Sister Nanjin, who has never talked much, smiled for the first time, although it was only a faint ray, But it's surprising enough.

The two were whispering softly, talking about something.

Take a closer look.

This is not a "strange woman" either... Gu Shen had seen her once before the meeting ended today.

When they looked at each other, the short-haired woman Mu Ya stood up and bowed to Gu Shen.

"I've seen Brother Gu." She smiled cleanly, with dimples on both sides of her cheeks, and her voice was soft.

People of the five great families all like to practice ancient etiquette.

"You're welcome." Gu Shen hurriedly saluted and asked with a smile, "Who is this?"

"This is my older sister, Mu Ya." Mu Nan scratched his head, quickly introduced, and added, "My dear sister."

Gu Shen was slightly taken aback.

Sister, dear sister?

Although I guessed the approximate identity, but this is really beyond my expectations...

Because the image between the two is very different.

Mu Nan is about four or five times as wide as his sister.

"Really?" Shen Li leaned over and patted Mu Nan's Maitreya Buddha-like stomach, pretending to be serious: "I don't believe it."

Mu Nan was not angry at all, he laughed and said, "Are you envious? In fact, we are still twins..."

twin?
Gu Shen's expression became more complicated.

Chu Ling's voice sounded in his mind: "As far as I know, fraternal twins have a certain probability of being different...but such a big image gap, I can only say that it takes considerable acquired effort."

"Our table was deliberately arranged by Lao Gong." Mu Nan said with a smile: "He said that after today, it will be difficult to see the big guys gathering together in the small courtyard of Chunyu Temple, so I hope everyone can have a good gathering today back."

"That's what you said..." Li Qingsui held the juice and smashed his mouth, "Why does it sound weird?"

"Lao Gong decided to...leave Nagano and go out for training."

Mu Nan lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

This news is beyond everyone's expectations...

"Shhh, don't spread the word, Lao Gong just told me about someone." Seeing the weird expressions of several people, Mu Nan quickly raised his index finger.

next moment.

An arm wrapped around Mu Nan's neck.

"How many times have I said...don't shout, I, old, Gong..."

Gong Zi didn't know when he appeared behind Mu Nan, he casually glanced at the people on the table, they were all old friends of Chun Yu Guan, and immediately gnashed his teeth and hugged Mu Nan.

"Sister...help me..."

Mu Nan's voice came out with difficulty.

sister?
Only then did Gong Zi catch a glimpse of another person on the table, he quickly let go of his hand, smiled embarrassedly at the simple and elegant woman, and quickly explained: "That... it's just a joke..."

Perhaps because of drinking a little wine, Muya's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Um……"

She glanced at Mu Nan, whose face was flushed and heaved a sigh of relief, and expressed her understanding understandingly, "It's okay, as long as you don't die."

Mu Nan: "???"
