Chapter 654 Regret
Everyone looked at the leaving figure with very complicated expressions. The sensational martial arts competition ended just like this, and the result exceeded everyone's expectations.
Ximen Bingyue didn't marry anyone, and Lei Qianmo, Murong, and Lu Hong from the Lu family were all reduced to foils. At least Xuanyuan Potian and Jian could still go to the city lord's mansion, and they would definitely get something.
However, the person who benefited the most this time was undoubtedly the young man in white from the government, Qin Xuan.
Combining three powers into one, with extraordinary talent, he became a disciple of Ximen Guyan in public. This was something that no one dared to think of, but he did it.
Now that he follows Ximen Guyan to the City Lord's Mansion, he will definitely undergo a transformation and his strength will increase again. It won't be long before he will walk in the world as the successor of Ximen Guyan.
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help showing a trace of yearning on their faces. They could even foresee how brilliant Qin Xuan's future would be.
If they were walking in front of Qin Xuan before, then from now on, Qin Xuan has been walking on par with them, or even surpassed them.
The arena was set up not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and with the speed of a few people, they arrived almost in the blink of an eye.
Ximen Guyan walked at the front, not bothering to introduce anything, and went directly into the city lord's mansion, while Ximen Bingyue, Qin Xuan and others stayed outside.
Looking at the building in front of him, Qin Xuan couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes. He couldn't believe it. Is this the City Lord's Mansion?
The building in front of him gave Qin Xuan only one or two words: simple.
Not only was it not as glorious and majestic as he imagined, with numerous palaces, it was not even as good as the palaces of ordinary emperor-level experts. He had been to Beidou Xingjun's imperial palace, which was luxurious and majestic. In comparison, the city lord's palace really seemed Too shabby.
But Xuanyuan Potian, Yan Qing and others were not too surprised. They seemed to have known about it for a long time. They were just a little surprised at first sight, but they quickly calmed down.
As if aware of the disbelief in Qin Xuan's eyes, Ximen Bingyue just said lightly: "Just get used to it. In fact, the environment inside is quite good."
"Do the powerful men from the nine realms of Tianxuan like this pattern?" Qin Xuan asked with a wry smile.
"What, you don't want to stay? You don't have to go in if you don't want to, don't force it." Ximen Bingyue said casually, with an air of being in love.
"Of course. Only by living in a place like this can you truly forget everything and return to your true nature. I'm very happy." Qin Xuan said seriously, as if he had completely forgotten what he just said.
"It's so fickle." Yan Qing said coldly, without even looking at Qin Xuan, he walked straight ahead.
Qin Xuan looked stunned, looking at Yan Qing's back with dull eyes, and said to himself: "What's wrong with him? Who made him angry?"
After the words fell, Qin Xuan suddenly felt three strange eyes falling on him. He couldn't help but turn his head and saw Ximen Bingyue, Xuanyuan Potian, and Jiandu looking at him strangely.
"Did I say something wrong?" Qin Xuan asked with some confusion.
Ximen Bingyue sighed softly, Xuanyuan Potian patted Qin Xuan's shoulder, and said with some sympathy: "Brother, take care, no one can avoid this kind of thing, you'd better ask for your own blessings."
Immediately, Ximen Bingyue and Xuanyuan Potian left together, leaving only Qin Xuan and Jian standing there awkwardly.
"What do you want to say?" Qin Xuan was still confused. Then he looked at the sword and smiled: "It seems that you and I are the only ones with pure minds. They all think too much. No wonder they can't practice well."
But Jian shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and asked, "You really don't know anything?"
"What do you know?" Qin Xuan blinked. Did he overlook something?
Seeing that Qin Xuan's expression didn't look like he was faking it, Jian Ye gave Qin Xuan a sympathetic look. This guy was so talented, could he really see nothing?
Taking a deep breath, Jian slowly spoke: "Be mentally prepared, this matter may have a great impact on you."
Qin Xuan was completely speechless. Please tell me if you have anything to say. I have been talking in a roundabout way for so long. Is it really good to keep people's appetites like this?
"He might like you a little bit." Jian finally said it, feeling relieved in his heart. After living for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a thing.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Xuan's expression suddenly froze. The person in the sword's mouth was obviously referring to Yan Qing.
However, how is this possible?
"Impossible." Qin Xuan kept shaking his head, denying this possibility in his heart. How could such a thing happen? Although he was handsome, he was still self-aware and not to the point of attracting the same sex.
If Jian knew what Qin Xuan was thinking at this time, he would probably be surprised that there could be such a narcissistic person in this world.
"Although it sounds ridiculous, anyone with a discerning eye can see some signs. You should make preparations early." Jian comforted Qin Xuan and then walked into the city lord's mansion.
Now, only Qin Xuan was left standing there alone. A breeze blew by, lifting his hair, and his eyes became messy.
"Am I really underestimating my handsomeness? I shouldn't be..." Qin Xuan muttered to himself, looking extremely serious, as if he was thinking about some important issue.
Even he himself didn't know that after contacting and communicating with Fen Lao, Netherworld Demon Emperor and Feng Qing, he had gradually been assimilated. It is said that those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
"You kid, don't think too much. In terms of handsomeness, you are still far behind me." Feng Qing's voice came, and he would never give up any opportunity to attack Qin Xuan.
A strange look flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes, and he said, "Brother Feng, you have seen him too, do you think it is possible?"
Feng Qing suddenly fell silent for a long time before replying: "I don't know, you can go and decide."
After saying this, Feng Qing seemed to disappear. No matter how Qin Xuan called, he refused to say another word.
Finally, Qin Xuan walked into the City Lord's Mansion with a helpless attitude. When he walked into this simple building, Qin Xuan immediately felt something different. There was a secret hidden in this City Lord's Mansion!
Looking around, Qin Xuan saw a thin light curtain on the walls of the city lord's palace, emitting extremely weak fluctuations. It was extremely difficult to detect without careful observation. The light curtain was like a formation, covering the entire city. The city's main palace is enveloped.
Not only that, the City Lord's Mansion seemed to be isolated from the outside world and formed a world of its own. The aura of heaven and earth was more than ten times that of the outside world. It was almost the richest among all the places Qin Xuan had been to, and even seemed to be about to condense into substance.
A hint of ecstasy suddenly flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes. This city lord's palace looked ordinary, but he didn't expect that there was something hidden inside. If he didn't experience it personally, he wouldn't be able to understand the difference.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Xuan figured out, what kind of person is Ximen Guyan, how can the place where he lives be ordinary?
"Come to the inner courtyard, I have something to tell you." At this moment, a plain voice came from the void and passed clearly into Qin Xuan's ears.
Qin Xuan's expression condensed for a moment, and he looked towards the depths of the courtyard, which must be the inner courtyard. He flashed and flew towards the depths.
The area of the City Lord's Mansion is not much different from what it looks like from the outside. It is indeed not very big. The inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are very close to each other, only separated by a pool of lake.
The inner courtyard is very small. On the other side of the lake, at a glance, the scenery of the inner courtyard is unobstructed. Apart from flowers, plants and trees, there are just a few pavilions, a stone seat, and four stone benches, that's all.
At this time, there were five figures waiting in the pavilion in the inner courtyard. They were Ximen Guyan and his daughter, Yan Qing, Jian, and Xuanyuan Potian.
Qin Xuan was flying in the air, tapping his toes on the water from time to time, his body was light and graceful, and he could not help but reveal an aura of transcendence, which was unparalleled in his magnificence.
When Yan Qing saw Qin Xuan coming, a look of surprise first flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared for a moment and became expressionless again, as if he didn't care about Qin Xuan.
"Master." Qin Xuan landed firmly on the ground and shouted to Ximen Guyan.
Ximen Guyan did not look at him, but simply said: "Tell me why you worship me as your teacher."
Qin Xuan's expression froze. He didn't expect Ximen Guyan to suddenly ask this, but he still said truthfully: "This disciple hopes to learn the art of piano."
"Practice the piano skill is not something that happens overnight. You have no foundation in music. If you want to practice to the state of becoming a master, it will take at least thousands of years. Are you willing to wait?"
"Thousands of years!" Qin Xuan's heart trembled. He looked at Ximen Guyan in disbelief and said, "Why is it so long?"
Ximen Guyan rolled his eyes at Qin Xuan and said, "Do you think the art of piano is so easy to learn? It has taken you a thousand years to learn the piano, but you have already had good talent. If your talent is average, you may not be able to master it even if it takes ten thousand years."
Qin Xuan was a little confused at this time. Although he longed to practice piano skills, he couldn't spend thousands of years learning it. He couldn't afford to wait. There were more important things waiting for him to complete.
Suddenly thinking of something, Qin Xuan glanced at Ximen Bingyue and said: "There is no need to practice to the master's level, it is enough to have the piano skills of the senior sister."
Ximen Bingyue suddenly smiled when she heard Qin Xuan call her senior sister. However, before the smile on her face could bloom, a cold voice rang out, and her smile completely froze there.
"Do you think her piano skills are very good? It's okay to play with it. If you want to be my disciple, if you don't meet my requirements, I won't let you walk in the world. It's too embarrassing."
Ximen Guyan said with a serious face, not as if he was watching a joke at all. Qin Xuan completely believed Ximen Guyan's words. If he did not meet his requirements, he might really be detained here.
Seeing Qin Xuan's silence, Ximen Guyan spoke again: "Now there are two paths before you. The first path is to truly worship me as your teacher and learn the art of piano. The second path, I don't say you should I can think of it too.”
When the voice fell, Qin Xuan's heart shook violently. Did he need to make his own choice?
The void became quiet. Ximen Bingyue and Yan Qing looked at this scene calmly, as if they had expected it. Xuanyuan Potian and Jian were very puzzled. Why did Ximen Guyan go back on his word after agreeing in public? ?
With so many people witnessing Qin Xuan's apprenticeship, everyone knew that Qin Xuan was Ximen Guyan's disciple, so there seemed to be no point in going back on his word.
