As the woman wielding the Willow Sword approached him, Gu Ping, unwilling to get involved, kept dodging without making any significant moves.
"May I ask your name?" Gu Ping inquired while evading her strikes. The Yoyo in his arms seemed completely unaffected, lying there as if it were asleep.
"Tan Siyuan."
Though she spoke, her sword danced with a flurry of strikes, each one blooming like a flower, almost forming a massive lotus before Gu Ping.
Thousand Flowers and Hundreds of Blooms—clearly, the lady favored that technique. However, Bu Luo was fixated on quantity, losing the original power of the move. It was truly a case of trying to paint a tiger but ending up with a dog.
In that case, why not counterattack and break her Sword Technique?
The Jade Token would surely be delivered soon; why should the lady press him so hard? It would only lead to an awkward situation for both of them.
It was hard to tell that a martial artist like him could be so gentlemanly towards such a little girl. Bu Luo knew well what was most taboo in sparring.
What sparring? Bu Luo was simply chasing him relentlessly.
By saying that, he had inadvertently made himself her target. He could take out the Jade Token and show it to her.
After all this talk, Yong Tuo had returned to its original place. Gu Ping glanced at the side path but saw no sign of the little attendant Yongxuan. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself but still didn’t make any moves and took another step back.
Why had she stopped talking? Did she really not know where this little child had come from to dare impersonate the Chief Disciple of the academy? Did she really think she was above everyone else?
Although Tan Siyuan spoke otherwise, deep down he knew that the young man before him was most likely the person mentioned in the rumors. Despite not being particularly tall, his posture remained unchanged. Each time, with the slightest of movements, he managed to evade what seemed like Tan Siyuan's tricky attacks. That was something anyone could do.
Moreover, the fact that this guy had a fox in his arms only added to the absurdity; it was clearly a mistake of the same level as hers. The moment that young man made a move, Tan Siyuan felt himself on the verge of defeat. He understood this all too well.
With that thought in mind, Tan Siyuan couldn't help but accelerate his offensive once more. The Thousand Flowers and Hundreds of Blooms technique bloomed into a massive lotus flower, each petal formed by tiny sword-like blossoms. One misstep would result in Coco's blood splattering everywhere.
Yet that pure red lotus seemed to be stuck to Gu Ping's face, while also appearing as if it were worlds away, utterly unattainable.
Hearing that voice, Gu Ping shuddered involuntarily and turned to see who stood on the path. Even the sword flowers on her face trembled.
Tan Siyuan's assault was interrupted by that loud shout, but once the sword was drawn, it was hard to retract. No matter how hard he tried, the Willow Sword grazed Gu Ping's face, leaving a faint scar and drawing out a trickle of gray-red liquid.
Gu Ping opened her mouth, unsure whether to utter that name. Her entire body trembled, her eyes reddening. Even Yoyo opened her eyes to look at the person standing on the path.
Bu Luo's gaze was clearly different from Gu Ping's; there was a glint of cunning in her narrowed fox eyes. What those two—one human and one fox—were thinking was something only they knew.
Tan Siyuan wondered what he was doing. Wasn't that the Outer Court Chief? How could he be so disrespectful? He quickly apologized to his senior brother. The newcomer approached them with a face covered in stubble. Bu Luo and Tan Siyuan clearly listened to him and offered an apology to Gu Ping.
Having met the senior brother, Little Girl felt compelled to accompany the Chief as well.
Gu Ping noticed the newcomer giving him a knowing look, and it finally registered with him. Little Girl, he hadn't realized it before; could it be that the great man was truly a villain beneath that calm exterior?
Chief Shi Xin was challenging Yi Dong to a sparring match, wasn't he?
Tan Siyuan, if I were to act so rudely, he would surely report me to the Ming Master Sect and send me off to the Outer Court.
No matter, he thought, as he discussed with his junior sister about sparring with Yi Dong. They were warming up in front of the Eastern Peak's Demonstration area when Gu Ping explained Yi Dong to Tan Siyuan and casually asked about that senior brother's name.
Ah, everyone calls him Liu Lao Jiu, that's how it is.
Hearing that familiar name, Gu Ping swallowed hard, feeling a lump in his throat. For some reason, his mouth felt bitter, as if he had eaten dry sand.
The two exchanged glances, all their words stuck in their throats, unable to be spoken.
