Chereads / Swordsmanship's Number One Immortal / Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Troublesome Beauty

Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Troublesome Beauty

Fengyuan Chamber.

In an elegant room on the first floor, Lady Cuiyun sat upright, with a hint of respect in her expression.

Across from her sat an unparalleled beauty.

With long hair as white as snow and dressed in plain long robes, she exuded a gentle and elegant temperament. Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, appearing as if she were in her early twenties despite being over thirty.

Casually sitting there, her whole being emanated a cold and aloof aura, as proud as snow, giving people an unavoidable feeling of bone-chilling coldness.

Zhu Guqing!

One of the nine elders of Tianyuan Academy.

A martial master who shook the entire Gunzhou Six Counties!

"The three guardians of the Yin Sha Sect, one of them is Blood Heng Daoist. He has a withered and thin appearance, a sinister and cruel temperament, and possesses the cultivation of the Dual Stove Realm. He is a top expert in the Yin Sha Sect's Gunzhou Branch, second only to the Branch Master, Huyan Hai."

"Blood Heng Daoist is proficient in controlling ghosts and summoning evil. His soul power is extremely eerie and terrifying. He can silently infiltrate the opponent's mind. Once he controls the opponent's soul, he has the power to decide their life and death, making them completely helpless."

Zhu Guqing took out a secret scroll, her tone as cold as a sword.

"The other two are 'Sickly Ghost' Chu Silang and 'Corpse Madam' Liu Xianglan, both of them have reached the pinnacle of the Gathering Qi Realm."

"Chu Silang is skilled in tracking, assassination, and escape techniques."

"Liu Xianglan excels in formations. This woman has the most malicious temperament. Over the years, in order to cultivate a depraved secret technique, she has harmed countless men."

Speaking up to this point, Zhu Guqing put away the secret scroll and looked at Lady Cuiyun opposite her, saying, "I have come this time to hunt down these three individuals."

Lady Cuiyun had long been alarmed and said, "How did these wicked and evil villains suddenly come to Yunhe County?"

Zhu Guqing shook her head. "I'm not sure. I am only responsible for killing them. Your brother said that you have been operating in Yunhe County for decades, and your connections and information are the most extensive. I hope you can help in this matter."

Lady Cuiyun was taken aback for a moment but quickly said, "Rest assured, I will do my best to assist you."

Her brother was merely the fifth-ranked elder of Tianyuan Academy.

But Zhu Guqing was firmly ranked third!

"Good, I hope to know the whereabouts of these three people as soon as possible. I will come back this time tomorrow."

As Zhu Guqing spoke, she stood up and walked out of the elegant room.

Efficient and decisive, without any hesitation.

Lady Cuiyun hurriedly got up to see Zhu Guqing off until she watched her beautiful figure disappear. She couldn't help but rub her forehead in distress.

She's coming back tomorrow evening?

She only has one day to gather information!

"Yesterday, it was said that Qin Wenyuan and his son were killed outside the city at the Qingding Drill Ground. Now, the three guardians of the Yin Sha Sect's Gunzhou Branch and Elder Zhu Guqing of Tianyuan Academy have all appeared. This Yunhe County is becoming more chaotic..."

As the night gradually fell, Lady Cuiyun's mood became increasingly heavy.

...

In Zhuoan Cottage.

A brightly lit red lantern hung under the eaves, casting soft light and shadows on the ground.

Insects chirped, and the tree shadows swayed.

Huang Qianjun and Feng Xiaoran were tidying up the bowls and chopsticks.

Having just finished their meal, Su Yi carried a jug of wine and sat in a wicker chair in the pavilion to rest.

The so-called balance between work and rest, harmony between movement and stillness, was just like this.

Put in full effort when cultivating.

Completely empty oneself during rest.

"Feng Junior Brother, I won't be able to stay in Yunhe County all the time, but before I leave, I will help you and Xiaoran settle down."

Su Yi poured a glass of wine for himself and Feng Xiaofeng.

"I know," Feng Xiaofeng nodded. "Su Senior Brother, you can rest assured. Whenever you have a need, I am willing to give my life for you."

Su Yi sneered, "What do I need your life for? You and Xiaoran being well is the best repayment to me."

Feng Xiaofeng also smiled and said, "Su Senior Brother, when do you plan to leave Yunhe County, and where do you plan to go?"

"Perhaps I'll find a dangerous place to gain some experience, or maybe I'll visit Tianyuan Academy."

Su Yi lazily replied.

He had encountered a small bottleneck in his cultivation and had been unable to truly achieve the goal of "all spirits becoming spirits."

Hard work alone was not enough; he needed to find a "catalyst."

And the easiest way to find a breakthrough catalyst in cultivation was undoubtedly through life-and-death battles.

By experiencing the extreme danger and excitement of combat, he could achieve the thrilling experience of "heart-stopping moments" and unleash his hidden potential.

Having the experience of his past life's cultivation, Su Yi was well aware that his cultivation path had been too smooth since he regained his memories.

It wasn't that he was too powerful, but rather that the opponents he had encountered along the way were... too weak.

Lack of a true opponent is equivalent to a lack of real honing and tempering.

"Forget about that, let's drink."

Su Yi raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

At that moment, a knocking sound came from outside the courtyard.

"Lord Su, Tea Jin has come to visit."

A soft and melodious voice came in the night, as refreshing as spring water, soothing to the mind.

"Tea Jin? That artistic cultivator who seems like a calamity to the country and the people?"

Huang Qianjun's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, instantly recalling who the person was.

With his experience as a playboy who had roamed the brothels and pleasure boats for many years, Young Master Huang had an impeccable memory when it came to beautiful women.

"I am not a calamity, nor have I ever brought disaster to the country and the people."

A gentle and sweet laughter came from outside the courtyard.

"Go and open the door."

Su Yi lay in the wicker chair and gave the order, completely forgetting that he had promised Wen Lingxue earlier today that he wouldn't open the door for Tea Jin...

Huang Qianjun eagerly went and opened the door, and his eyes lit up once again.

He saw that Tea Jin was now dressed in a moon-white male attire, with rosy lips, white teeth, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows and eyes. There was a naturally charming and delicate aura between her brows.

Her hair was casually tied into a bun, revealing a slender and snow-white swan-like neck. Even in the darkness of the night, she exuded a captivating beauty.

"What a stunning beauty."

Huang Qianjun murmured to himself and then smiled, "Miss Tea Jin, what brings you here so late at night?"

He noticed that there was a middle-aged man in black attire standing behind Tea Jin.

The middle-aged man had a careless demeanor, unkempt hair, and crossed his arms with a sheathed long sword. His gaze seemed distracted, as if he had something on his mind or was absent-minded.

But upon seeing this middle-aged man holding the sword to his chest, Huang Qianjun's pupils contracted, and an indescribable chill ran through his heart.

Grandmaster!

This was undoubtedly a grandmaster!

"Lord Su and I agreed to meet tonight."

Tea Jin pursed her lips and smiled, walking forward.

Huang Qianjun could only step aside.

The middle-aged man with the sword followed closely behind Tea Jin.

Su Yi casually glanced at the middle-aged man with the sword and then withdrew his gaze, saying, "Feng Shidi, take Xiaoran back to the room."

Feng Xiaofeng got up and left with Feng Xiaoran.

Tea Jin naturally came to the front of the pavilion, slightly bowing and said in a gentle manner, "I have seen Lord Su."

"Have a seat."

Su Yi lay motionless in the wicker chair.

This careless and disrespectful posture caused the middle-aged man with the sword to pause for a moment. However, he didn't say anything and stood silently by the stone pillar on the side of the pavilion.

Huang Qianjun walked over with two cups of tea, smiling as he spoke, "Miss Tea Jin, please enjoy the tea."

As he was about to hand the other cup of tea to the middle-aged man with the sword, Tea Jin stopped him and said, "No need to trouble yourself, Gongzi, Xiang Shu doesn't drink."

Huang Qianjun nodded and took the opportunity to ask, "Is Xiang Shu Miss Tea Jin's bodyguard?"

He was trying to test the middle-aged man's background on Su Yi's behalf.

Tea Jin smiled and said, "You can say that."

"That's enough, it's none of your business."

Su Yi waved his hand, and Huang Qianjun tactfully turned and left.

After that, Su Yi remained silent, lying comfortably on the wicker chair with his eyes half-closed, gazing at the bright and icy moon in the night sky, with a leisurely demeanor.

Tea Jin smiled and took the initiative to speak, "Lord Su, aren't you curious about why I'm here to talk to you?"

Su Yi casually replied, "If it's about romantic affairs, drinking and enjoying oneself would be the best option."

Tea Jin fell silent for a moment, tucking a strand of green silk behind her ear. She leaned slightly forward, revealing a pair of crystal-clear and fair hands, and personally poured a cup of wine for Su Yi.

A refreshing and alluring fragrance accompanied the scent of the wine, lingering around Su Yi's nose.

With a beauty personally pouring wine, being so close, her breath like orchids, if it were Young Master Huang in this situation, he would have long lost control and succumbed to temptation.

However, Su Yi simply smiled as he watched, without saying a word, his gaze clear and free from any other desires.

Tea Jin's demeanor and actions were natural. She sat up straight, parted her red lips, and smiled, "I pour wine for Lord Su, and Lord Su listens to what I have to say. Is that acceptable?"

"It seems that I have no choice but to listen."

Su Yi sighed lightly, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Go ahead."

Tea Jin's voice was gentle as she said, "To be frank, I am someone close to the Second Prince. Back on the pleasure boat, Lord Su probably already noticed something, which is why you warned the Sixth Prince not to get in touch with me..."

Tea Jin lightly bit her cherry lips, a hint of resentment flickering in her beautiful and clear eyes. "Originally, I was confident that I could gain the trust of the Sixth Prince. Who would have thought that because of this incident, all my previous efforts were in vain."

Su Yi exclaimed in surprise, "So you came tonight to settle the score with me?"

At the time on the pleasure boat, he did indeed warn Zhou Zhilao not to get involved with Tea Jin, but he never expected that Tea Jin would notice.

"At that time, I did have the urge to kill with that knife."

Tea Jin said seriously, but then she burst into laughter, "But how could I not understand? With my limited ability, how could I possibly be a match for you, Gongzi?"

Su Yi casually remarked, "You have a good understanding of your own abilities."

Tea Jin: "..."

She steadied herself and said softly, "For you, perhaps my visit is a great joy."

Su Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed lightly, "What joy? It's nothing more than wanting to use me as a connection to the Second Prince. I advise you not to waste your efforts and better not bring trouble upon yourself."

Upon hearing this, Tea Jin's pretty face changed slightly, stunned and caught off guard. She never expected that Su Yi would see through her intentions at a glance.

Could a seventeen-year-old teenager really possess such insight?
