Chapter 399: No Worries About Not Having a "Confidant" On the Road Ahead (First Update)
Meng Qi seemed to be struck by lightning, his soul flew away, his body was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. He was ready to be called the child's father by Gu Yaonu when he met her again, as if he had figured out the way a mental patient thinks.
Who knew that Gu Xiaosang brought the child directly, and the crisp "Dad" made Meng Qi feel like he was hit by Ananda's sword technique or the Heaven-shaking and Earth-striking Technique. His soul was shocked, his thoughts were confused, and he couldn't speak. He felt like he was "raped" by Gu Yaonu without knowing when.
The mental patient's thinking is broad...
It's really not something that a normal person like me can understand and guess!
Meng Qi came back to his senses, and was certain that he and Gu Xiaosang and Gu Yaonu had no relationship other than enemies. He was angry and annoyed, and cursed in his heart: "Damn little bitch, how dare you tease me! I won't let you suffer a loss, don't you know that the horse king has three eyes!"
He was cursing happily, and suddenly felt a little lucky that this was not the Xingyun Banquet. Otherwise, in front of many masters on the human list, in front of the strong external scene to prevent mistakes, in front of everyone, Gu Xiaosang suddenly appeared with the little girl just now, and asked her to call "Dad". If he cried and complained about being abandoned after being seduced, his reputation would be ruined.
Of course, he was not ruined by being wronged by the righteous and despised by everyone. After all, it was good to believe one out of ten words from the demon girl. If he didn't do a blood test, no one would believe it, and his friends would definitely support him.
But if this happens, the matter will become a joke, spread all over the world, and will inevitably be pointed at and become a laughing stock of others in the future, such as:
"Oh, so this is the mad knife Su Meng who was found by the Daluo Saint with his child. It is said that he is not his flesh and blood?"
"Young Master Su, I know that it was the demon girl Gu who wronged you, but I still have a question to ask, how old is your child? Haha."
...
Pah, pah, pah, why think so much about something that has not happened! Meng Qi stopped thinking about it. He hated Gu Xiaosang so much, but he felt that he should stay away from her, lest this schizophrenic patient do something unexpected again.
Fortunately, he didn't have an affair with her, otherwise he would be in dire straits in this life!
Pah, pah, pah, it sounds like he almost had an affair with her.
Meng Qi was no longer in the mood to cruise the river and enjoy the scenery. He gave the old boatman money and flew into the air under his puzzled eyes. He jumped onto the street on the left and mixed into the crowd buying New Year's goods, watching lanterns and guessing riddles.
He had rich experience and a good state of mind. After walking for a while, he gradually calmed down, put this matter behind him, and began to think about the purpose of Gu Yaonu's appearance in Yingcheng.
Anyway, it can't be my child!
She went south for several months, and there was no news from the Six Gates. Now she suddenly appeared in Yingcheng, which was definitely not without purpose. Humph, Gu Yaonu didn't look like a person who was obsessed with martial arts. It was impossible for her to take the risk to find He Jiu to learn from her and seek a breakthrough...
Meng Qi felt that he had a certain understanding of Gu Xiaosang. She was talented, eccentric, and resourceful. She could concentrate and work hard on martial arts, but she was not pious. Apart from that, she had nothing else. Therefore, she would not be excited for an equally matched opponent. She would rather put aside other things temporarily and fight with many dangers. On the contrary, if she really met such a person, Gu Xiaosang's choice would probably be to find an opportunity to destroy him directly.
However, is the understanding of mental patients really considered understanding? Meng Qi fell into deep thought.
As he walked, he found himself turning into a busy street, and then heard a familiar voice:
"Brother Su."
Looking up, Meng Qi saw a man standing by the window on the third floor of the restaurant on the right, holding a wine glass, smiling, like an old friend in a foreign land.
He was in his early twenties, wearing a Confucian robe, with a square face, a broad nose and a wide mouth. His facial features were not outstanding, but he was majestic and stood there like a mountain.
Meng Qi was surprised and happy, and shouted: "Brother Wang! I didn't expect you to be here too!"
No worries about not having a "friend" on the road ahead!
This person was Wang Zai, the "Sword of Guarding Righteousness", the illegitimate son of the Zhoujun Wang family.
"Xingyun Banquet is a grand gathering of the rivers and lakes. Although there is no invitation, how can I not come? At least I can meet you, Brother Su." Wang Zai said loudly, attracting many sidelong glances.
Brother Su?
Are you sure you can meet him?
Could it be "Crazy Blade" Su Meng?
Eyes were cast on Meng Qi from all directions, mixed with scrutiny, envy, respect, judgment and dissatisfaction, making Meng Qi couldn't help but straighten his back, feeling like he was under the spotlight.
Look, look, Brother Wang Zai is so good at talking! Not at all exaggerated!
He slowly stepped into the restaurant, climbed to the third floor, and found Wang Zai drinking alone by the window, and immediately smiled:
"Brother Wang, drinking alone makes you more sad, how can good wine be without friends?"
Wang Zai smiled and said, "Isn't he waiting for you?"
Seeing Meng Qi stunned, he explained, "My foolish brother had an appointment with someone, but the other party had something to do and didn't come. It's good that I can drink with you, Brother Su."
"It's been more than half a year since we last met." Meng Qi was not polite, sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, picked up the wine pot, poured himself a glass, and filled it for Wang Zai by the way, without treating himself as an outsider at all.
This casual familiarity instantly brought the relationship between the two parties back to the time when they were in Ye City, and there was no more unfamiliarity.
After the two of them raised their glasses and drank a sip, Wang Zai patted the table and sighed: "It's only been half a year? I thought a year or two had passed unknowingly. Brother Su, you have made great progress. You have entered the top six from the 19th place on the list. It's amazing."
"Brother Wang, you are not bad either. You have ranked 15th." Meng Qi suppressed his pride and carried the sedan chair.
"I used to think I was pretty fast, but compared to you, Brother Su, I'm really ashamed of myself. The last time I saw the human rankings, I couldn't believe you had eliminated the Cold Palm Demon Shadow and others in one battle. Suddenly, you've reached this level..." Wang Zai said sincerely.
Meng Qi said modestly: "Brother Wang, you also know my background, and I have an advantage in facing the siege."
After the two sides exchanged a few words, Wang Zai mentioned something: "My foolish brother has been staying at the Mi family in Yingcheng for some time, and has had many contacts with local sects and families. The younger generation is impressed by the He Jiu Xingyun Banquet. Seeing that there are many masters coming to Yingcheng, but most of them cannot enter the village, so I want to hold a martial arts banquet in advance to learn from each other and participate in the event. I wonder if Brother Su is interested in watching the battle and commenting, and giving some pointers?"
This is to be a guest... Meng Qi knew that Wang Zai would not lie, and nodded lightly: "Brother Wang invited me, how can I refuse? I wonder if there are other masters on the human list?"
"Except you, me, Brother Yan of Daoqi Changhe and Brother Chu of Nuoxingyue, the rest are all above the 20th on the human list, participating as learners..." Wang Zai said in detail.
After the two exchanged ideas for a while, they turned to drink and chat about their own experiences in the martial arts world and the Xingyun Banquet.
"Suanjin Cangsheng has confirmed that he will attend the banquet, but he has not arrived yet. Fairy Juejian will probably arrive in a few days. Gu Yaonu and Wolf King may not dare to show up openly, so they may not come. Huanxi Tou Tuo and Wuwang Dixian are far away, and there is no rumor that they will come to the banquet. Buddha Heart Palm, Qinglian Gongzi, and Changduan Tianya are nearby. It's just a matter of thought whether they will attend the banquet or not..." Wang Zai introduced roughly. In fact, Meng Qi had already learned about it from the information of the Six Gates, but he still pretended to listen attentively.
The wine lasted for a full hour and a half. The two talked happily. At the end, Wang Zai sighed: "Traveling in the world is really a lot of hardships. Not to mention dangerous things, there are all kinds of weird people, greedy, stingy, regardless of the overall situation, willful, shameless, always make people angry, but because of their righteous identity, it is not easy to make trouble, lest they be said to be narrow-minded and lack the demeanor of masters. Forget it, after all, we are also well-educated people, just pretend to be afraid of them."
"I'm not afraid." Meng Qi smiled.
"Ah, why? Brother Su, do you have a trick?" Wang Zai asked sincerely.
Meng Qi answered seriously: "Because I have no cultivation, because I have always been narrow-minded."
Wang Zai's expression was dull and he was speechless.
…………
After finalizing the "guest", Meng Qi said goodbye to Wang Zai and returned to the inn he rented.
He was wearing a black suit, with a long sword on his waist, and his figure was upright and masculine. In the eyes of the guests and those who looked down on him, they all felt that he had outstanding temperament and must be a master.
Watching him enter the inn, a window on the second floor squeaked shut.
Meng Qi walked through the inn garden and arrived at a yard at the back. He took out the key and opened the door.
Everything was normal, without any feeling, but as soon as he entered the wing room, he suddenly moved in his heart, alertness surged, and with a clang, he pulled out the wound of the sky and looked at the big bed.
I saw a woman in a plain white dress lying on the bed, with an ethereal temperament, picturesque eyebrows, holding her cheek with her hand, and looking at me with a smile.
She was fully clothed, with no skin exposed except for her arms, neck and face, but the white cloth strips undulated against her body, like mountains of green, making one's throat dry, and the idea of transcendence was irresistible.
"My husband, you are finally back." The girl's eyes were rolling, like a deep spring that could drown people. It was Gu Xiaosang, the demon girl.
Meng Qi was on guard, and was about to open his mouth to expose Gu Xiaosang's whereabouts and attract everyone to attack.
At this moment, Gu Xiaosang flicked his fingers, and an object fell in front of Meng Qi, making a crisp sound.
This was a green lotus, lifelike and poetic, with a few words engraved on it: "Huanhua, Qi Zhengyan".
"Brother Qi?" Meng Qi's eyes froze, "What did you do to him?"
This was the identity mark of the Huanhua Sword Sect, belonging to Qi Zhengyan. Meng Qi scanned it with his mind and confirmed the truth.
"I saved him." Gu Xiaosang slowly stood up, her black hair floating like satin, lazy and charming.
"What?" Meng Qi said in astonishment.
Gu Xiaosang smiled, but did not answer. She looked straight at Meng Qi: "Husband, our child is cute, isn't it?"
"Who told you that you have a child!" Meng Qi said angrily.
Gu Xiaosang stood up and said with a smile: "The Six Paths can reverse time and reverse cause and effect. Now in my experience, we explored the ruins of the Heavenly Palace together, encountered danger, supported each other, fell in love, and had a child."
Meng Qi was stunned again. He had similar speculations about the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and stammered:
"No, it can't be true, right?"
"Of course it is." Gu Xiaosang suddenly smiled, suppressing the moonlight and starlight, "I lied to you."
"You believe this too? I know you have similar speculations about the Six Paths, because I have them too, but you believe it just because I say it casually. It's really, really, so stupid..." She laughed sweetly.
