Reborn Enemy

"How does my modified Lingxin School sword move compare to your junior brother?" Duan Qingming asked.

Gu Pinglin then turned to the outside of the railing, watched Bu Shuihan practicing his sword intently, and commented for a while: "Just looking at the sword moves is exquisite enough, but it is difficult to cooperate with the other moves of the Lingxin School."

"Well, it's pretty pertinent."

Gu Pinglin turned to look at him: "Brother Bu grew up with Master since he was a child. You sacrificed the exercises and caused Master to lose his lifespan. Now you still teach him swordsmanship. Are you afraid that he will turn around and deal with you one day?"

"I'm afraid," Duan Qingming said with a smile, "will you let him know?"

Gu Pinglin didn't answer: "Duan Qingming, do you know what I hate the most? It's your confidence to control everything." Yi Bu Shuihan's temperament, once he knows the truth, he will definitely not let him go, and whether it is Bu Shuihan Shui Han or Chen Qian, Chang Jinxin and the others are extremely dangerous to face him, and he has figured out how he will choose.

Duan Qingming looked as usual: "This is just the price you paid for angering me."

"You're right, I shouldn't break the agreement."

"Take the initiative to admit your mistakes, and you are worthy of being the future master."

"Why bother to be so yin and yang," Gu Pinglin casually pulled a chair over and sat down beside him, "I came here to thank you sincerely."

Duan Qingming said: "How do you thank me?"

"I was going to invite you to cook tea," Gu Pinglin looked at Bu Shuihan downstairs, "It's just that the timing is not right, next time."

"It's just that there is no sincerity," Duan Qingming put down the scroll, took the small wine glass on the table, and handed it to his lips, "I'm different. I sincerely congratulate you, Junior Brother, on your fulfillment of your wish and mastering the Lingxin sect."

Seeing him leaning over, Gu Pinglin subconsciously leaned back, looked at the wine glass on his lips, and then at him.

The narrow and deep eyes reflected red shadows, bright and charming, very reminiscent of the scene of plum blossoms falling on the face that day, even the eye waves seemed to have the color of plum blossoms.

Eyes meet.

Gu Pinglin lowered his eyes slightly: "I don't drink alcohol."

"Understood," said a lazy voice, "it's just tea."

Seeing that he didn't intend to take it back, Gu Pinglin said "Thank you" calmly, and raised his hand to take the wine glass, but the wine glass didn't move at all, it was still firmly on his lips.

Gu Pinglin frowned at him.

"Junior brother, please." Duan Qingming was still calm, with narrow eyes that seemed to be smiling, half-smiling, joking, and mocking.

The rim of the small cup was clasped by two people, and there was a distance between their fingers.

At the time of stalemate——

"What are you doing?" Bu Shuihan's voice sounded.

"Junior brother doesn't like this tea?" Duan Qingming said casually.

"Good tea, everyone likes it." Gu Pinglin took the wine glass, put it on the table casually, turned to look at Bu Shuihan, "Senior brother's sword moves are not bad."

Bu Shuihan jumped onto the platform, put his sword back into its sheath: "You are only interested in drinking tea, let me play sword for nothing."

Gu Pinglin changed the subject: "You didn't go to see Miss Qu?"

Bu Shuihan really said: "She was sent out on a mission."

The three of them were talking, when suddenly a disciple guarding the mountain came to report: "Uncle Duan, someone is looking for you outside the mountain gate."

Gu Pinglin looked at Duan Qingming.

Duan Qingming was surprised: "Who is looking for me?"

The disciple replied: "It's a girl. She didn't say who she is, she just said she wanted to see you."

"That's it," Duan Qingming poured the wine unhurriedly, "No see."

The disciple said: "It seems that she looks pretty good, Master Duan, are you sure you don't want to go and have a look?"

Duan Qingming said with a smile: "Then there's no need to meet."

The disciple looked embarrassed: "But she said, you will definitely meet."

Duan Qingming was surprised: "Oh?"

Bu Shuihan hugged Hu Yinjian and said with a smile: "There are many people who like Junior Brother Duan, but I don't think you have ever been close to any female cultivator. Could it be that this beauty is different?"

Duan Qingming said: "Yes, I have always kept myself clean, which beauty can make me an exception?"

What did the disciple think of: "She said, if you don't see me, it's the same to find Master Gu."

"Smart woman," Duan Qingming said, "Brother Gu, don't you think so?"

Gu Pinglin didn't answer, and walked down the bamboo ladder first.

Several disciples guarding the mountain were watching the fun under the archway of the mountain gate. The visitor stood far away, his face was covered by the curtain, and he could only see that it was a woman with a graceful figure.

Gu Pinglin had already guessed her identity, and stepped forward: "Miss Qi, please stay safe."

The enchantment opened, blocking the sight of the rest of the people.Qi Yanfeng carefully lifted the black veil covering his face, with a shy expression: "Everything is fine, thank you Mr. Gu for your concern."

Seeing that she looked good, Gu Pinglin knew that she had really controlled Shi Ling and stopped talking.

Qi Yanfeng pulled Duan Qingming and said: "I'm puzzled by a trick, cousin, please help me find out..."

"Duan Liu is not talented, so I should try my best to solve my cousin's doubts." Duan Qingming said a few words modestly, and explained to her seriously, as if he was a gentle and good brother.

As a fellow swordsman, Bu Shuihan didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he also listened.The four of them are all outstanding talents in the world, either because of their talent or because of their diligence. They often don't need to explain much, and they can understand a little bit.

The more Bu Shuihan listened, the more surprised he became, and he asked Gu Pinglin in a low voice: "This Miss Qi is very knowledgeable in swordsmanship. I think her sword moves seem to be in the same vein as Qi Shisan. Who is she...?"

He had just left the customs, and he didn't know what happened outside, Gu Pinglin shook his head to stop him from asking.Now these two people have become the target of public criticism, the season is good, Qi Yanfeng's reputation is almost ruined, in terms of swordsmanship, she is not as pure as her younger brother Qi Wan'er, but she can also afford the word "sincerity", whether it is to give up her identity for the swordsmanship to follow the seasons , or ran to the Lingxin School for a sword move, its sincerity can be seen.

Speaking of joy, Shi Ling's voice suddenly came: "How long is it?"

Qi Yanfeng said: "Hurry up."

"The world of cultivation is looking for us, you want to die, but I don't," Shi Ling said impatiently, "I'm leaving!"

"Wait for me!" Qi Yanfeng begged, "Speak quickly, don't leave me behind."

Shi Ling scoffed, "Women are troublesome!"

Seeing that Qi Yanfeng's red eyes were very pitiful, Bu Shuihan lowered his face on the spot: "Leave if you are afraid of death, what is it to scold a woman! Miss Qi is so wronged..."

Qi Yanfeng wiped away his tears, turned around and interrupted him earnestly: "What did you just say?"

……

Until they left, Bu Shuihan was still in a daze, his handsome face was a little distorted.

Gu Pinglin was amused, and was about to speak when two disciples ran down the mountain quickly, and congratulated Gu Pinglin when they saw him.

Bu Shuihan came back to his senses: "What happy event?"

A disciple smiled and said, "Uncle Bu, don't you know? The head of the sect has already ordered that the succession ceremony will be held in four days. Uncle Gu will be our new head in the future, and the senior brothers from the outer sects will rush back, and we will also give the six-door sect Send invitations over there, and the two of us are just going to deliver letters."

"Really?" Bu Shuihan was surprised at first, then frowned, "Alright, why did Master suddenly..."

"Senior Brother Bu is here!" Another disciple hurried over, "The master told you to go over."

Bu Shuihan had just been released from prison and didn't know what happened to Yue Songting, so he hurriedly followed after hearing the words, and several disciples guarding the mountain gate crowded up to congratulate Gu Pinglin.

Gu Pinglin dismissed the crowd, turned around and saw Duan Qingming standing outside the crowd, and turned to face him.

Duan Qingming smiled slightly, bowed and made a big gift to him: "Congratulations to the new head."

Gu Pinglin looked at him for a moment and said, "Thank you, brother."

The succession ceremony was held as scheduled, the Lingxin Sect gathered together, and the outer sect disciples who run Taoist temples and businesses also rushed back to meet the new head. Several heads with good relations on weekdays came to congratulate in person, and the other sects also sent people to see the new head. When the congratulatory gifts came, Yue Songting introduced Gu Pinglin to meet them.When the time came, Yue Songting led the Lingxin Sect to pay homage to the ancestor, and passed the Lingxin to Gu Pinglin in public, everyone in the Lingxin Sect was happy.

Since then, Yue Songting has stopped appearing in public, and his health has become worse and worse. Chen Qian and others serve around him on a daily basis, and practitioners are still open to matters of life and death. Only Bu Shuihan has followed Yue Songting since childhood, and is more sad than others , even if Qu Lin came back, she couldn't get rid of her sad face, and she only practiced her sword in a muffled voice every day.

Gu Pinglin is officially in charge of the Lingxin Sect. He was familiar with the internal and external affairs of the sect in his previous life, and now there are not many changes. Although things are complicated, it is easier to deal with them. Quickly restore calm.

"Brother Yan sent a letter, congratulations to Mr. Gu for taking over as head." Xin Ji put the letter on the case with a smile.

Gu Pinglin put aside the roster, took the letter, opened it, and asked casually, "Why haven't you seen Senior Brother Duan recently?"

Xin Ji said: "Young Master Duan seems to be studying formation techniques."

Gu Pinglin put down the letter: "Array?"

Xin Ji didn't understand why he paid attention to these trifles, thought for a while and said: "The old man saw that he has been reading ancient books on formation techniques recently, and even asked people to buy many cinnabar formation cards."

Gu Pinglin pondered.

Duan Qingming has dabbled in a wide range of fields, medicine, poison, elixir, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are amazing, but he is too brilliant in swordsmanship, which makes people ignore others. His attainments in formation skills are not low If you want to say that you are slightly better than yourself, it is because you created the way of sword formation first, which made up for the lack of talent in swordsmanship. Duan Qingming has such a high vision. In his previous life, he regarded himself as an opponent, and he fought in person every time. Interested in himself, but seeing the power of the formation of swords, and he gets along with himself more in this life, so it is not surprising that he can study formations.

Xin Ji tentatively said: "The Lord of the South Island will get married in May, and we will also..."

"I have my own arrangements." Gu Pinglin interrupted him.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Xin Ji was also savvy: "It's good that Mr. Gu has arrangements. Since you are busy with affairs, I won't bother you much."

After sending Xin Ji away, Gu Pinglin sat quietly for a while, got up and spread paper and rubbed ink, and wrote a few strokes with concentration, but he felt tired for no reason, so he simply put down the pen, sat on the chair in front of the desk, propped his forehead, Close your eyes and sleep a little.

In the haze, the body was suddenly embraced by a pair of arms.

Gu Pinglin was secretly startled, and wanted to break free, but he had no strength in his body and couldn't move. It seemed that his eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The visitor's breathing was obviously unstable, and he was even panting lightly, as if he had rushed back.He eagerly and almost rudely picked up Gu Pinglin and put him in another place.

The moment he was put down, Gu Pinglin felt as if he had been doused in snow, his blurred consciousness suddenly became clear, his scattered consciousness re-condensed, and a faint blue appeared in his eyes.

Coffin of the Seven Realms.

The man supported the coffin of the Seven Realms, his handsome face was slightly flushed, eager, excited, and unabashedly conceited.

"You haven't been reincarnated." He half-bent down, reaching out to touch the face of the person in the coffin, "I told you before, you can only follow me."

With a little force on his fingertips, Gu Pinglin smelled a faint smell of blood.

Happy World is located in the Demon Realm. Although its own strength is not strong, it is a big faction after all. It is protected by Wei Fengshi and many Demon Realm sects. There are several inner alchemy masters sitting in the town all the year round. It may not be easy for Tianjiao to hand over the treasure of his family, and it is not known whose blood it is.

Thinking of this, Gu Pinglin felt even more ridiculous.

The world-renowned number one swordsman, Duan Qingming, who is so arrogant, so talented, and best at controlling people's hearts, actually has obsessions in his heart. No wonder he is influenced by clever words. Does he know that this obsession means What?

He didn't ascend.

Gu Pinglin opened his eyes amidst the rustling sound of the cool wind entering the window, only to see someone standing beside him, writing with a pen.A few strands of long hair hung slantingly beside his arm, shaking with the movement, and the ends of the hair touched his arm from time to time.

Gu Pinglin put down his hand resting on his forehead, and calmly opened the distance: "When did you come?"

"Sect Leader, so careless?" The gesture of the man bowing his head and brushing was exactly the same as the person in his memory.

Gu Pinglin said: "You can understand that this is my trust."

"Is it true?" The man said casually, obviously not intending to ask him to answer, I don't know whether to believe it or not.

Gu Pinglin didn't really answer. He stood up and looked, and found that he continued to write down what he hadn't finished writing. Everywhere in the lines, he was free-spirited, strategizing, writing at will, and forming his own layout. Combining the words together, it is not too ugly, and it happens to be an "Ode to the Soul"

Duan Qingming finished writing the last stroke and stood up straight: "How?"

Gu Pinglin said: "Very good."

"How is it better than you?"

"Better than mine."

Duan Qingming looked at him sideways when he heard the words: "Young master brother, are you really Gu Xiaojiu?"

"If it's a fake replacement."

"You're throwing in the towel."

"It's not about admitting defeat, it's just about admitting the facts. I'm not like you who came from a famous family and didn't even know how to read. I'm not as good as you in these things." Gu Pinglin took the pen in his hand and put it on the pen stand, thinking that in his previous life, he didn't know anything. If you want to compare yourself with him, you really don't know how to say such words, but now you say it, you feel relieved.

Duan Qingming said: "In this way, the younger brother can practice to this level, isn't it far better than me?"

Gu Pinglin squinted at him: "Duan Qingming, am I someone who needs comfort?"

"No," Duan Qingming said, "It means that it is a great honor to be praised by the head of the sect. If there is a need, I am always willing to help."

Meeting those smiling eyes, Gu Pinglin withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to pack the paper and ink: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't need it for now, I still have some business to deal with, please go back if you have nothing to do."

"Please come back first," Duan Qing said, "Junior brother is as polite as crossing a river and tearing down a bridge."

Gu Pinglin put down the scroll, just said "you", and then stopped.

Chang Jinxin walked in hurriedly, saluted Gu Pinglin as "Sect Leader", and then said: "Master is probably about to escape into reincarnation, and it happens that Junior Brother Duan is also there, so hurry up, I'll go find Senior Brother Chen them."

When Chang Jinxin left, Gu Pinglin left in silence.

Duan Qingming said: "Are you blaming me?"

"Without you, there will be this day sooner or later." Gu Pinglin stopped in his tracks and shook his head. "At least I should thank you for allowing Master to leave with peace of mind."

"Is that so?" Duan Qingming said casually, without waiting for his answer, "Let's go."

The two went out and walked side by side to Yue Songting's residence.

Gu Pinglin suddenly said: "Duan Qingming."

"Ok?"

"I used to think you were strong and would never fail."

"Once upon a time..." Duan Qingming didn't seem surprised, "So, the point is now?"

"Now I realize that you are not as strong as I thought."

"Oh?" Duan Qingming said, "What is the reason for your misunderstanding?"

"Because you will lose to me."

Duan Qingming stopped, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Gu Xiaojiu, your overconfident appearance is really charming, I like it."

"You've made me take too many steps, haven't you?" Gu Pinglin also smiled slightly, and walked to the front.
