Reborn Enemy

"I'm really afraid of being rude, so I should be honest!" Gu Pinglin squeezed the sword art, and Gu Yingjian flew out again.

"In your eyes, how can I be dishonest?" Duan Qingming turned to avoid, and the sword edge brushed past.

"You know it yourself!" Gu Pinglin's hand gesture changed, and Gu Yingjian circled around lightly, pulling out purple sword flowers one after another in mid-air at an astonishing speed. Hundreds of thousands of sword flowers are connected into a piece, which is very magnificent.

"Scattered Flowers and Butterflies", an advanced sword move of the Lingxin School, this is a fast sword that Gu Pinglin is not good at and rarely uses, but he skillfully combines this move with formations, and because of the blessing of formations, it will help the sword grow in a short time Qi, the speed of the sword flower's spawning is not inferior to Duan Qingming's.

Duan Qingming was also surprised: "Interesting!"

This move is Gu Pinglin's previous trapping technique. The scene inside the formation is completely different from that outside the formation. All he can see is a pitch-black sword realm and a sea of ​​flowers composed of countless sword flowers.

Duan Qingming evaded the surprise sword of consciousness and formed several barriers in succession to resist. When the barriers were all destroyed, he suddenly stopped moving and no longer dodged.

The sword realm disappeared, and Gu Ying's true form appeared, floating in front of him.

Gu Pinglin walked over: "Admitted defeat?"

Duan Qingming didn't move, and let the tip of the sword point to his throat: "It's a good move to enter the sword with an array, but after seeing through it, there is nothing surprising."

"If you can't break it, you can't break it," Gu Pinglin said with his hands behind his back, "Why bother to speak so brazenly."

"This trick..." Duan Qingming stopped and laughed.

Gu Pinglin bluntly said: "You did it on purpose."

Duan Qingming said "hmm": "Which one are you talking about?"

Gu Pinglin's face darkened.

Seeing this, Duan Qingming suddenly said: "It means that our brothers and sisters are too friendly..."

"Duan Qingming!" Gu Pinglin wanted to use the sword formula again.

"It's a trivial matter, why get angry," Duan Qingming said softly, "That Yao family brother is very interesting, I just teased him by the way, you are too stingy."

Ever since he encountered Han Ying's twin swords, he has been constantly creating excitement. Who would believe it if he didn't do it on purpose?Gu Pinglin sneered: "Teasing him, why don't you find someone else?"

Duan Qingming said slowly: "The only one worthy of me is you."

If I had known that this person was a lunatic and dared to play with anything, I could take it for granted.Gu Pinglin put away his anger when he heard the words, and also said slowly: "Then I should say it's an honor? Duan Qingming, you don't have to try to provoke me. I'm not Qi Wan'er, and I won't give up monitoring you."

"Of course, I'm just curious, to what extent will you really get angry," Duan Qingming tapped Gu Ying's sword edge with his fingers, and said with a smile, "You, you just want to take the opportunity to test my swordsmanship, why bother?" So menacing, why, have you tried it?"

Gu Pinglin's past and present lives have been seen through by this person, Gu Pinglin tightened his lips, and put his sword back into its sheath.

"No——" Duan Qingming bowed his head towards him, "Instead, he revealed a hole card to me, why?"

Gu Pinglin walked away calmly: "The strong never hesitate to show their cards."

Duan Qingming smiled and said: "Hey, the strong have nothing to fear, what are you hiding from, and what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not interested in this kind of game," Gu Pinglin glanced at him, "That's not what I'm talking about."

"Oh? You're not angry because of this, why?"

"You want Nan Zhu to face Guo Feng."

"They will have that day sooner or later. I just added fire in advance." Duan Qingming was not surprised. "Isn't this what you hoped? Nanzhu completely controls Penglai Island. With your relationship, the Spiritual Sect is in the East China Sea. There will be many benefits.”

Back then when he helped Nan Zhu, Gu Pinglin did have this idea in mind, but after hearing what he said, Gu Pinglin still frowned: "But his foundation is not stable, so it's not appropriate to confront Guo Feng so soon."

"The civil strife in Penglai is also an external opportunity, and it is not a bad thing for the Lingxin faction."

Gu Pinglin sneered: "Your Duan family can't even eat Penglai Island, let alone Lingxinpai?"

Duan Qingming took a few steps casually, and said as expected: "Eat or not, we have no loss."

Gu Pinglin's heart turned cold.

This person was born with the talent to disrupt the world of comprehension. He regards games as a pastime, and others have never meant anything to him.Because of the phrase "reluctant", I thought that I had been friends with him for many years in this life, and he really had some scruples. Maybe I could save a little bit of sympathy when I started, so that this game of winning and losing could be settled as I wished. After the obsession is broken, maybe I will do something with him. He was a true senior brother, but he never thought that his so-called brotherhood might not be as much as he cared about.

Since he already knew that he was approaching on purpose, he really couldn't talk about friendship, and he almost took it seriously.

Duan Qingming is still that Duan Qingming, there is nothing reluctant, how can I soften my heart?

"Nan Zhu is grateful to me, and I don't want to harm him," Gu Pinglin became alert, his tone became weaker, "Besides, if Guo Feng wins, it will only be bad for the Lingxin faction. I would rather wait a few years and pay attention to the sea environment first." Let's do it."

Duan Qingming nodded slowly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yes, we still need to concentrate on our gambling."

Gu Pinglin's thoughts changed sharply, and he immediately said: "Since you want to gamble, let's gamble something interesting. I will start a game with you, regardless of life or death, don't implicate others."

"Regardless of life or death," Duan Qingming looked back at him for a while and asked, "What do you want to bet?"

"A letter." Gu Pinglin raised his hand, and there was a letter between his fingers. It was the letter from Xin Ji, the co-lord of the Demon Realm, Wei Fengshi.

Duan Qingming's eyes flickered slightly: "Are you sure you bet on this?"

"Of course," Gu Pinglin said, "Wei Fengshi sealed the letter, and none of us know what's inside. Whoever can crack the secret in the letter will win."

"Then you will lose."

"how you said that?"

"Of course I saw some problems."

"I can also see that you are playing tricks." Gu Pinglin was not confused, and put away the letter again. "Just saying that you have seen some problems proves that you don't know much."

Duan Qingming withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Yes, but it's also simple. The place where they agreed to hand over the letter is Penglai Island."

The time has passed and Xin Ji is late, the other party must be vigilant and keep his eyelids on guard.

Gu Pinglin said: "It's okay to take this risk."

When it was dark, Jun Muzhi personally came to invite everyone to the banquet.Expecting that Duke Pingcang would definitely be there on such an occasion, Qi Wan'er was even more reluctant to show up, so she presumed that she was going to practice kung fu and asked seven Qi family monks to guard the door.Jun Muzhi guessed the reason and didn't force it.

Xin Ji didn't want to go either. He obviously expected the consequences of delaying the delivery of the letter. The other party agreed to meet at Penglai Island, which meant that the person who colluded with Master Wei Feng was probably someone from the island. Even if he changed his face, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Pinglin saw his thoughts and said, "If you don't go, wouldn't it attract more attention?"

Jun Muzhi is not a simple person, Xin Ji was awakened and had to swallow the words on his lips.

Jun Muzhi walked over with a smile, and bowed to Gu Pinglin: "Brother Gu, please."

Gu Pinglin turned sideways: "Senior Brother Duan."

Jun Muzhi's gaze moved slightly, and he turned to look at Duan Qingming.

Duan Qingming stepped forward with a smile, and sighed to Jun Muzhi: "My junior brother has always been clingy, just laugh at me."

Jun Muzhi smiled and said, "It's only natural that brothers and sisters of the same sect have a good relationship."

Soon, the two chatted. One was a son of a wealthy Penglai family, and the other was a son of a family from the southern world. Their demeanor and etiquette were impeccable. They talked as they walked, and they seemed to be chatting very speculatively, laughing from time to time.

Pushing Duan Qingming out to attract attention, Gu Pinglin leisurely followed behind.

Jun Muzhi brought the crowd outside a large hall before they stopped. There was faint music coming from inside. A few guards in Penglai costumes stood on both sides, holding whisks in their hands. Everyone looked up and saw the plaque written With the words "Guanwei Temple".

"Young master, the honored guests are here." Jun Muzhi raised his voice with a smile, and made way sideways.

Duan Qingming paused slightly, Gu Pinglin stepped forward, and the two stepped into the hall side by side.

The hall is very spacious, with huge pillars and painted beams, and white jade stone floor, you can only feel the atmosphere when you see it.On the dance floor in the middle, several beauties are playing music, and on both sides are several long low tables, with fruit plates and wine vessels on them, and two exquisite mats on the side. There are already several people in the seats, and several beauties are sitting on their knees Waiting, seeing everyone coming in, they all respectfully bowed to the ground and saluted.

Facing three steps, Nanzhu was standing up from the main seat, and said with a smile, "It's finally here." He walked down the steps himself, grabbed Gu Pinglin's arm and introduced to everyone: "This is the Gu Pinglin I often mention. brother."

Seeing Gu Pinglin's appearance clearly, everyone was a little surprised and stood up to salute.

Gu Pinglin understood at a glance, and returned the gift.

These people presumably supported Nanzhu, and compared to the power of the entire Penglai Island, they were too weak.

"I always hear the young master talking about children. When I saw you today, you are worthy of being a master disciple of Master Yue." The old man who spoke was the first one on the right. He was wearing a white robe embroidered with copper coins. He had silver-gray beard and hair, a long face, and fair skin. It's a bit too much, the eyes are restrained.

Gu Pinglin had already noticed him, and without waiting for Nanzhu's introduction, he asked, "Could this be Duke Pingcang?"

The old man was taken aback.

"Kids have good eyesight!" The old man in Tsing Yi on the left laughed.

"Mr. Shun Shi deserves the award," Gu Pinglin turned to look at him, "Who doesn't know the three gentlemen of Penglai? No one dares to admit their mistakes because of the demeanor of the two seniors."

Shun Shigong was born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, holding a handle of sapphire Ruyi in his hand. He was obviously surprised that Gu Pinglin recognized him, and shook his head with a smile: "I'm old, but I'm just wandering around. Now it's your younger generation's world."

"You can make friends with the young master at a young age, and your eyesight is extraordinary," said Ping Canggong calmly, scanning the surroundings, and everyone immediately fell silent.Only then did Lord Pingcang withdraw his gaze, tidy up his robes and stepped forward, and solemnly bowed to Gu Pinglin, "The old island master entrusted the young master to me when he was dying. Penglai Island even saved this old man, if you need me in the future, you can come to find me, and I will help you with all my strength."

With one sentence, he took the favor towards Nanzhu to himself.Gu Pinglin laughed: "Mr. Pingcang's words are serious, brother Nan is auspicious, and he is trapped in the shallows for a while. Even without me, he will have a bright future sooner or later."

Shun Shigong said with a smile: "Why are you polite, sit down and talk, brother Jun, the young master specially hosted a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests, there is no reason for the distinguished guests to stand."

Duke Pingcang frowned secretly, and smiled "haha": "It's the old man who was negligent, please."

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of belittling Gu Pinglin, and the others followed suit, Nanzhu was overjoyed, and pulled Gu Pinglin to go up the steps: "Come, come and sit here with me."

Gu Pinglin looked at Duke Pingcang with a smile that was not a smile, and declined politely: "Young brother is a guest, how can he take the seat of the master?"

Nanzhu waved his hand: "Why do you and I separate each other? If I say sit, I can sit!"

Duke Ping Cang glanced at Jun Mu, and the grandfather and grandson exchanged glances.

Now is not the time to make the officials of Penglai suspicious, but Gu Pinglin still rejected Nanzhu after all, and went to sit beside Duan Qingming.

Shun Shigong turned to Duan Qingming with a smile, and said kindly: "This is the sixth son of the Duan family, he is very qualified. When you were full moon, I sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of the old island owner. You must not know."

They have already investigated the details of several people.Gu Pinglin calmly picked up his wine glass and sipped, listening to Duan Qingming deal with him.

The banquet was nothing special. Jiang Ruoxu, Leng Xu, Bu Shuihan, and Gan Li were all familiar with this kind of occasion. Xin Ji was an old hand, and he felt uneasy in his heart, but his face was very calm. Yao Feng was not used to it, because Because of the Yao family's reputation, there were more people persuading them to drink in the past. He didn't like to talk, so he just drank silently, and when he was almost drunk, he said "I don't drink anymore", and then didn't pick up any more.

Here, Gu Pinglin occasionally raised his glass with Nanzhu from the air, and when he said a few words, most of the time he was at his own discretion, secretly paying attention to Duan Qingming beside him, and saw that he was still the same as usual, talking freely, gentle, He is courteous and considerate, dealing with everyone with ease, not only Mr. Pingcang thoughtful, secretly hinting to Nanzhu that he can make friends, but even an old man like Mr. Shunshi is satisfied with him.

About half an hour later, Duan Qingming suddenly supported his forehead, stood up and said apologetically, "I'm a bit too drunk to disturb everyone's interest. I'm ashamed. Let me leave the table first."

Feeling that he stole Gu Pinglin's limelight, Nanzhu kept his face sullen, but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and ordered the maid: "Send Mr. Duan back to his room..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Pinglin stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll send Senior Brother Duan back."
