[Comprehensive martial arts] Gentle sword

After eating this bowl of wanton noodles, Nianwu got up and said goodbye.Just like what he said, the two encounters can be regarded as fate, but after a brief encounter, they hurriedly parted, and there was no reluctance in their hearts. This is just a chance meeting.Twenty-five enshrined the words of the city lord like an oracle, although he was puzzled, he was ready to go to the pier early to see if there were any ships returning to Feixian Island today.At that time, he didn't know what the city lord's plan was after letting him leave.

Nianwu came later than Xie Wan, but left earlier than Xie Wan.Xie Wan finished her breakfast leisurely until the sun rose completely. She pursed her lips and gave the stall owner the money for the breakfast.

Although not exquisite, a breakfast full of human touch not only filled Xie Wan's stomach, but also warmed her feeling of being a little barren all night.It is not easy to attack the heart, but it is very simple to conquer the stomach, and the internal organs are all connected together.Xie Wan planned to recuperate for a day or two before preparing to face Chu Liuxiang.

But during this period, she ran into Ye Gucheng again.

The early morning sea breeze blows from the South China Sea to a small part of Yangcheng near the sea shore.The distance from Nanwang Mansion to the seaside is not like that of Ye Gucheng when he was in Baiyun City. He had to come to the seaside before sunrise, which meant that he did not sleep long at night.The Nanwang Mansion has a high bed and a soft couch, so it should be a good sleep, but Ye Gucheng doesn't have one.In the face of Nan Wang's hospitality, his behavior is somewhat puzzling.Others could only say, "As expected of Ye Gucheng!".Sometimes as long as it is done by a person who is destined to be extraordinary, even if there is no reason, there is a reason.

Ye Gucheng's heart was not peaceful.If the heart is not calm, the sword cannot reach the extreme.Ye Gucheng didn't practice his sword, he just stood quietly by the seaside, watching the first ray of dawn rising from the sea level, illuminating the turbulent sea.On the other side of the sea, I don't know which direction, Baiyun City is there.

When it was time for him to finish his sword practice, Ye Gucheng stopped staying any longer and turned back to the Nanwang Mansion.

On the way, he and Xie Wan met each other.

There was no painstaking effort, no every possible means, just a very accidental eye contact, and both sides saw each other.Xie Wan didn't expect to meet Ye Gucheng outside the Nanwang Mansion, but considering that the other party is a real person, not acting in an excerpt, it's not too unusual to go out for a walk on weekdays.Now that we met, Xie Wan generously walked over to greet Ye Gucheng.

"City Lord Ye."

Ye Gucheng's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the person not far in front of him, his voice was a little surprised: "Are you here?"

If the scene in front of him blurred the surrounding scenery and people, it would be somewhat familiar.A few months ago, she had just been rescued by him from the seaside, but she lost her memory after waking up, but the gentle temperament and appearance attracted those people in the city. There will be a time or two when you catch her talking softly to someone.At that time, they were far away from each other, neither speaking nor looking at each other, but now these are all added one by one.It's only been a few months, but it feels like a lifetime away.

Xie Wan nodded.When she met Ye Gucheng in Nanwang Mansion before, her face was changed, Ye Gucheng couldn't recognize her, and Xie Wan never thought that she would meet him again.Now that she was caught off guard, she really couldn't think of any reasonable excuses for a while.At that time in Yanbei, she had the identity of the owner of Zhenhai Tower, so it was not unreasonable to insist on coming to Yangcheng to discuss business.But Xie Wan was not sure if there would be any flaws in her statement as that part of the memory was modified in Ye Gucheng's mind.Speaking of this matter, Xie Wan couldn't help complaining about the system.

【Xie Wan: You didn't remind me that Ye Gucheng was listening! 】

[System: ...my fault. 】In fact, before the system had time to say it, it was interrupted by Xie Wan.But today, the system is super fond of its host, and has taken the blame for it.

Xie Wan joked a few words with her family leader in her heart, and then enough was enough.As the system said before, the reason why Ye Gucheng remembers it is precisely because of his special luck that he can almost become the target of this mission. He is the same as Li Xunhuan, Tie Shou, etc., and he is one of the few lucky people in their respective worlds. , their influence on the world is stronger, and it is also difficult for the world to forcefully take actions against them, such as modifying the memory of these people.They will remember some parts more or less, and the world has no way and no way to control which parts.Memories that have been concealed are like crumbling dangerous buildings, which may suddenly collapse at any time.

Fortunately, Ye Gucheng didn't intend to delve into it too much, he didn't care so much about other people's affairs.Therefore, City Lord Ye just nodded slightly as a response.

After repeated contacts, Xie Wan got used to his indifferent attitude.Logically speaking, they should part after this short and simple exchange of greetings, so that they would be more like the character of Lord Ye, but after Ye Gucheng took a fixed look at Xie Wan, he suddenly said, "Your internal strength has improved a lot."

Xie Wan paused, realizing her mistake.When Ye Gucheng "rescued" her from the beach, a comatose woman with low martial arts was relatively able to lower the defenses of others, while Miss Yan Beixie's personality was similar, but not long ago she was still a thief with thousands of faces , now that the task has achieved phased results, she is a little too early to relax.The level of internal strength can be clearly seen in front of a peerless master like Ye Gucheng.

Xie Wan smiled: "I suffered an internal injury back then, and my mentality was depressed at that time, so it didn't matter. Thinking about it now, there is nothing wrong with it."

Ye Gucheng hummed, and did not comment on the sporadic mentions of the past in Xie Wan's mouth, but said: "The way of martial arts is also the way of humanity."

Xie Wan didn't expect Ye Gucheng to say that, but in just a few words, he revealed points and concerns that were different from his indifferent personality at first glance. Even though it was very light, it made him no longer seem unreachable The solitary snow outside the Great Wall and the floating clouds on the mountain peaks.Xie Wan told a lie that was not heartfelt, in exchange for a flat but sincere response from the other party.Xie Wan is not a person who is stingy with giving, most of the time her tenderness is genuine.The relationship with Ye Gucheng was not as speechless as she thought, Xie Wan simply said to Ye Gucheng: "City Master Ye just came from outside the city? Have you had breakfast yet?"

Ye Gucheng shook his head.

"It's better to move to the teahouse next to it. There are many delicacies in Yangcheng, and the Lord Ye can try it." Xie Wan planned to invite Ye Gucheng to have breakfast. Since he invited the Lord Baiyun, the roadside stalls are not easy to go to. Fortunately, there are also restaurants and teahouses in the authentic Yangcheng how to eat.

Ye Gucheng frowned, and agreed after a while.The last time it was Xie Wan from Yanbei who apologized and thanked him, and invited a whole table for dinner, this time it became breakfast again, as if the relationship between the two cannot be separated from eating, maybe there will be a lunch soon.Such a thought suddenly popped up in Ye Gucheng's mind, and he looked at Xie Wan's smiling face of Yan Yan again, but in the end he didn't regret it.

It wasn't until the two of them sat down, and City Master Baiyun watched Xie Wan talking to the shop assistants, that he realized what he had heard when he was listening to the corner after meeting Xie Wan.He obviously doesn't remember the appearance of Xie Wan's friend, but he clearly remembers what the other party said that she likes him, and now Ye Gucheng still feels a little strange when he thinks about it.But even thinking of this incident now, Ye Gucheng would never think that Xie Wan came to Yangcheng on purpose because of him, even though the name "Xie Wan" used by the other party was the word he said to her on a whim.Ye Gucheng has never paid much attention to the relationship between men and women.

Therefore, it is special enough for Ye Gucheng to remember that the woman in front of the table actually likes him.

Xie Wan asked Ye Gucheng if he had anything he wanted to order.There is a piece of South China Sea between Feixian Island and Yangcheng. There is no difference in seafood, but Yangcheng also has many special foods that Feixian Island does not have.Ye Gucheng didn't pay attention to his appetite, so he ordered a bowl of porridge, and Xie Wan ordered an extra order of char siew buns and marinated money belly for him.

Ye Gucheng glanced at the amount of food served, Mo Mo glanced lightly at the person opposite, Xie Wan's brows were slightly curved, with a calm smile that he was used to on weekdays: "I just ate."

"……Um."

Ye Gucheng drank the porridge one spoon at a time, during which time he picked up two pork buns and ate them. The money belly was beef offal. Ye Gucheng didn’t like it very much, but he also wanted to pick up two chopsticks, so as not to embarrass the people who thought about him. .Xie Wan noticed, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened.Twenty-five was not wrong about his master.

When Ye Gucheng put down his chopsticks, Xie Wan said, "I met Twenty-Five just now, and he told me that I was going back to Baiyun City."

The man sat upright on his seat, his eyelids drooping slightly. He was drinking tea to moisten his mouth. Hearing this, he responded, "I asked him to go back."

"Twenty-five told me, but what about you, Lord Ye, do you have other plans in Yangcheng?"

"Nanwang Mansion, be a guest."

Ye Gucheng's answer was very brief, but Xie Wan knew that the secrets involved were enough to cause an uproar. Ye Gucheng was cautious and would never reveal anything that should not be revealed.He even sent back the guards who came with him back to Baiyun City. He did such a disrespectful thing as a retrograde assassination, and Xie Wan would not know it from him.

Xie Wan now concludes that Ye Gucheng's mood is a little different today.

Thinking about it, just before she thought that if Ye Gucheng was her task target, then she must be very worry-free.For people like Ye Gucheng who almost became the target of his task, Xie Wan cared a little more, as if there was no righteousness in business.

"City Master Ye has something on his mind?"

The sword-browed and star-eyed eyes showed a little confusion for a very brief moment.Ye Gucheng didn't expect that Xie Wan would say that, nor did he expect...that she would be right.

Ye Gucheng really has something on his mind.

"A few months ago, I was discussing swords with Wudang Mu Taoist. I asked him: 'Flying a sword is an unavoidable sword move in the world.' He replied: 'Yes, it is peerless.'"

On the sword, Ye Gucheng stands out from the crowd. He longs for a match, but he has never been defeated.He doesn't necessarily really want to seek defeat, but only when he wins or loses in life and death can he experience the feeling of being alive.This kind of living is not the rush of blood when facing the enemy, but it makes him feel that living is meaningful.
