Chapter 36: So, this is why you ran away?

Chapter 36: So, this is why you ran away?

 I don't know when it started, but there are many legends about him in Xuanguo's martial arts world.

There are third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate warriors!

Gu Changsheng has been a companion of others with a sword, and he has also ridden with a female warrior on horseback, chatting with them. He once broke into a mountain stronghold alone and wiped out three bandit camps in one night, earning a great reputation in the martial arts world.

He has eliminated threats for the people and drawn his sword to help when he encountered injustice on the road.

  There was a warrior who wanted to swear brotherhood with him, and a female warrior who said she would marry no one but him.

But this martial arts world was not what he wanted after all, so he left after his work was done, hiding his merits and fame.

  After many twists and turns, he finally returned to this small southwestern city again.

  Yuzhou City.

  Here, there were many footprints of his growth.

  There was a bookstore that was rebuilt on the original site, and it is still there today.

  However, it seems that it has been a long, long time.

  No one has lived in it again, and it looks quite desolate and dilapidated.

  The neighbor next door, the Wuji pancake shop, is now a wealthy family with many courtyards.

It seems that they have become one of the wealthy families in Yuzhou City.

  Gu Changsheng gently pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked in.

Many things now looked rotten, and the thick layer of dust and fallen leaves on the ground made it difficult for him to recapture the original feeling.

Maybe he had changed, or maybe this was not the bookstore of his youth but one rebuilt later.

"Forget it."

Gu Changsheng sighed softly.

In the end, he stopped in front of the door and did not enter.

  I want to buy osmanthus flowers and wine, but that journey is not for a young man!

And the grudges of the past should be settled.

Gu Changsheng truly doesn't hold grudges!

But he didn't expect that after so many years, through changes of dynasties, chaos, disputes, and turmoil in the martial world, the Double Blade Sect in Yuzhou City is still standing.

The forces on his "little list" will never escape, even after countless years have passed!

  Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.

  It is better to bully the old man than to bully the poor young man!

  This is a bloody case that can be called two hundred copper coins...

  In the past, I said I would wipe out your entire family, and now I intend to fullfil that promise.

  The Double Blade Sect, which had been paseed down in Yuzhou City for more than a hundred years,

In the end, was destroyed by his sword.

With a slight shake, blood flowed from the sword.

The Double Blade Sect, which had once seemed formidable to him,

Now, upon closer inspection, appeared as nothing more than that.

  The meaning is clear.

  ...

  Chuyun Martial Arts School.

  After Gu Changsheng handed the Chuyun Martial Arts School to Wu Song.

  He did not disappoint Gu Changsheng's expectations.

He brought the Chuyun Martial Arts School back to the list of the three major martial arts schools in Yuzhou City.

  It's just a pity that he has been a second-rate warrior all his life.

  He has not been able to advance to a first-rate warrior.

  But no matter what, the Chuyun Martial Arts School has been revived in his hands.

  To this day, it is still passed down.

  Chuyum Ancestral Temple.

  Lin Jun, Gu Changsheng, Wu Song...

  Looking at those familiar names,

Gu Changsheng stood there for a long time, his eyes devoid of joy or sadness.

He lit a few long incense sticks, and the smoke slowly rose up.

He no longer had any old friends in this city.

...

He was just passing through Yuzhou City on his way to find the Innate Technique, and had returned to take a look.

However, he found that none of his old friends remained.

He was once again the only one left.

Gu Changsheng had gradually grown accustomed to such loneliness.

This world is so vast, where can I truly call home?

  With the sky as the roof and the earth as the foundation, wherever you go, it is home.

  As for the whereabouts of the Innate Technique, he has almost found it now.

He has traveled through nearly half of Xuan Country for many years. He accidentally came across a piece of news that he wasn't sure was true or not.

  But it was worth it for him to go and confirm it.

  There is no definite power, no fixed background.

It is truly difficult to ascend to the level of Xiantian in martial arts.

It's not just about talent and aptitude, but also about the constraints of martial arts, like his current situation.

  ...

  "Is it you?"

  A crisp voice sounded in his ears.

  Gu Changsheng looked at the figure driving a horse slowly towards him.

  He raised his eyebrows.

  Is this world so small?

  He could actually run into acquaintances while rushing on the road...

  "You followed me?"

  "do you have a big chest or a butt? Why would I followed you?"

  Gu Changsheng smiled immediately, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.

  If it weren't for her pretty face and long legs, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to her.

  "Then why did you leave without saying goodbye the last time we met?"

  The woman rode alongside Gu Changsheng on horseback, tilting her head and gazing at him with her beautiful eyes as she asked.

  "Does parting require a reason? Do you need one?" Gu Changsheng asked in return.

"So, is this why you left me alone and fled in the face of danger?"

  Mu Wan gritted her silver teeth, feeling the urge to pounce on him and bite him twice.

Just looking at his face is infuriating!

"I didn't run away; I went to get reinforcements for you."

  Gu Changsheng didn't even blink when he lied.

  He has lied countless times in his life. Not to mention lying, he didn't even blink when he killed people.

  Don't ask him if his eyes are dry!

  "Then what?" Mu Wan asked.

"What do you mean?" Gu Changsheng replied, his eyes showing a hint of confusion as he blinked.

  "Then did you come back?"

"Of course I came back. I, Xiao, couldn't let you face danger alone! I endured countless hardships and finally fetched reinforcements from a city more than a hundred miles away. But when I arrived, you weren't there!"

"I waited for you for seven days!" Mu Wan's grip on the sword tightened.

"What seven days?" Gu Changsheng asked, looking at her with confusion.

  He understood the next moment after blurting it out.

  "Hiss... You won't really wait for me for so long... right?"

  He really didn't expect that this woman would really wait for him there.

He was caught lying, and despite his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Haha... Honest and reliable young man?" Mu Wan said sarcastically.

"Maybe I'm too late..."

  Gu Changsheng was just about to make up a few more words when he saw Mu Wan had already drawn the rapier at her waist and strike him with the blade.

  "Don't be hasty, listen to my quibbling... Bah! Listen to me explain a few more words to you!"

  Gu Changsheng urged his horse to swiftly dodge quickly.

  One was chasing while the other was fleeing, but Gu Changsheng gradually realized that Mu Wan's horse was faster than his own.

"Hahaha... It's quite amusing. Can you keep up with me?"

Mu wan rode ahead, galloping the entire way, and didn't forget to look back and taunt him from time to time.

It could be said that she vented all the frustration she could muster.

  "Okay, okay, now that you've vented your anger, you feel much better, right?"

  Gu Changsheng was rubbing his arm hard.

  His face was full of that helpless expression.

  Women.

"Look at you, you have no chest, no backside, and you wear a cold expression all day long. If only you smiled more like you are now, you would be so beautiful."

"Who cares?!" Mu Wan stood gracefully, hands behind her back, gripping her sword.

  The sun was setting and it was dusk.

  After the horses had eaten the grass, they mounted their horses again and rode away.

  "Don't follow me anymore!"

  "I won't follow you. Besides, this road wasn't built by your family. How can you stop others from walking on it?"

  "How do you know this road wasn't built by my family?"

"Haha... I apologize for not recognizing you, Miss Mu!"

Under the setting sun and the glow of twilight, the silhouettes of the two riding side by side grew longer.

Their voices faded gradually into the wind...
