The voice coming from Jade Talisman was obviously trembling.
"Law Enforcement Hall's people suddenly took her away this morning, saying she was suspected of harming her fellow disciples."
Killing fellow disciples? Gu Sheng immediately thought of Blood Refining Evil Cultivator who was stabbed through the heart by Shen Qingtian that night.
Although that person practices Evil Cultivation Technique, he does bear the title of disciple of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy.
"Specific location."
His voice deepened.
"I'll be there right away."
"There is a tea shop outside the teleportation array in the east area of Tiancheng. I'm wearing a goose-yellow skirt."
Qin Yurou speaks very fast.
"Mr. Gu, please be careful, the nearest city is here."
Before he finished speaking, the light of the jade talisman suddenly dimmed.
Gu Sheng tried to contact him again, but found that his spiritual power was like a mud cow in the sea. There was obviously something wrong with the other party.
After a stick of incense, the Tiancheng teleportation array flashed with white light.
Gu Sheng, disguised as a middle-aged scribe, stepped out, his muscles slightly tense under his blue gown.
There was an unusual sense of tension in the air, and when you looked up, you could see dozens of figures controlling flying instruments patrolling at low altitude.
They wore standard black armor and the emblem of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy on their chests.
"I heard that Myriad Flow Sect has three hundred families overnight."
Two people dressed as vendors were whispering next to them, but they immediately fell silent when they saw the patroller approaching.
Gu Sheng pressed Bamboo Hat calmly.
It seems that what happened that night has been resolved, but I didn't expect that Shen Qingtian would be implicated.
He quickened his pace towards the appointed tea shop, and suddenly noticed a flash of light yellow on the corner of the street.
It was a girl with double buns. She was pretending to be interested in the rouge on the stall, but she kept scanning the passers-by out of the corner of her eye.
When Gu Sheng approached, her eyes suddenly widened and she blurted out.
"Gu"
"The girl got the wrong person."
Gu Sheng interrupted with a low voice, half of Azure Luan Jade Talisman exposed from his sleeve.
Qin Yurou understood, picked up the box of rouge and threw two spiritual stones to the stall owner.
"Wrap it up."
Then he walked along the alley casually.
Gu Sheng kept a distance and followed, and found that this girl would change her pace every time she passed a fork in the road. She was obviously counter-tracking.
After twisting and turning, the two came to a courtyard covered with vines.
As soon as I opened the mottled wooden door, a strong fishy smell hit my face.
There are various strange beasts roaming around in the yard, including rabbits with scales, three-tailed foxes, and even a small snow-white flying dragon lying in the corner.
"Sorry about the bad smell."
Qin Yurou locked the courtyard door and suddenly turned around and stared directly at Gu Sheng.
"But how did you do it? Even Golden Eye Beast can't spot Disguise Technique. I can smell it from three streets away and it's you."
Gu Sheng takes off the disguise and reveals his true colors.
"Beast Taming Flow's talent?"
"It's the smell."
The girl wrinkled her nose proudly.
"You have a special medicinal scent, mixed with, well, the smell of thunder."
She suddenly lowered her voice.
"Sister Qing Tan said that you used Lightning Law when you killed that evil cultivator."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.
It seems that Shen Qingtian regards this girl as a true confidant.
"Let's get down to business."
He looked around.
"Is it safe here?"
Qin Yurou blew a whistle, and the white dragon immediately spread its wings and hovered, forming a translucent barrier over the yard.
"It's safe now. Law Enforcement Hall came this morning and six Earth Martial Realm came, holding the deputy dean's token."
It turned out that in the early morning, Shen Qingtian was taking care of Spiritual Plant in the medicine garden, and was suddenly surrounded by law enforcement officers who broke in.
The cold-faced man at the head showed a bloody jade slip and claimed that it recorded evidence of her "murdering fellow disciples."
"Jiang Feihong? Inner Court The first of ten Head Disciple?"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and tapped his fingertips unconsciously on the stone table, making a crisp sound.
Qin Yurou nodded, his black hair fluttering in the wind.
"He went to inspect the battlefield three days ago. When he came back, he insisted that Qing Tan colluded with outsiders to kill his brother."
She bit her lower lip.
"When you took action that day, you did leave an aura that did not belong to the Holy Court."
Gu Sheng had annoyance in his eyes.
When he killed those evil cultivators that day, he did not deliberately hide his Qi.
Who would have thought that this unintentional act would actually involve Shen Qingtian.
"Law Enforcement Hall, what's your attitude now?"
he asked in a deep voice.
"Jiang Feihong has considerable power in Inner Court. Law Enforcement Hall temporarily detains Qing Tan for investigation."
Qin Yurou looked worried.
"But if no evidence can be found to prove her innocence"
The words were not finished, but the meaning was already obvious.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with cold light, and then he calmed down.
He never likes to owe favors, let alone because of him.
"I need detailed information on Jiang Feihong."
Gu Sheng Straight to the point.
"Cultivation, martial arts, and interpersonal relationships, the more detailed the better."
Qin Yurou's eyes lit up.
"I'll collect it right away. Little White will send it to you."
She paused.
"Mr. Gu, what are your plans?"
"Since it was me who caused Miss Shen to be wronged, I naturally have to clear her name."
Gu Sheng's tone was calm, but there was no doubt about it.
Qin Yurou looked at him deeply and said softly.
"Thank you."
"No need."
Gu Sheng waved his hand and asked instead.
"Great Desolation Sacred Academy's true disciple, how strong is it?"
Qin Yurou was startled for a moment, and then realized that he was assessing the opponent's strength level.
"The true disciples are at least at the Zong Realm. The top ten True Disciple Ranking are all above the King Realm, and the top one Senior Brother Chu has reached the mid-King Realm."
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank.
He originally thought that although Great Desolation Sacred Academy was strong, his current strength should be enough to deal with it.
Now it seems that the heritage of this holy temple that has been passed down for thousands of years has been underestimated.
"Is there any venerable person in charge?"
he continued to ask.
"There are a few, but the specific strength"
Qin Yurou shook his head.
"I don't even know Qing Tan."
Gu Sheng fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he raised his head and said.
"I haven't thought of a specific solution yet, but I will try my best. Miss Shen is wronged because of me, and I will not sit idly by and ignore it."
Qin Yurou looked grateful.
"I can take you into the Holy Courtyard. Inner Court disciples have the authority to bring people in."
Gu Sheng nodded.
"Exactly, one of the purposes of my trip is to find Gu Ningshuang."
"Ning Shuang Senior Sister?"
Qin Yurou said in surprise.
"Do you know each other?"
"She is my senior sister."
Gu Sheng The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a rare softness.
Qin Yurou suddenly understood and then smiled.
"Then I will take you to see her now."
The two stood up and left the pavilion.
Qin Yurou took out a jade token and injected spiritual power into it, and a light gate appeared out of thin air.
After passing through the light door, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.
Surrounded by mountains, magnificent buildings are scattered among them.
From time to time, there are streams of light flashing across the sky, which are the disciples of the Holy Academy flying in the sky.
Bells ringing in the distance, distant and deep, seeming to cleanse the soul.
"Go this way."
Qin Yurou led Gu Sheng through several stone paths and arrived in front of a magnificent school.
The whole body of the school is made of sapphire, which glows with a warm luster in the sunlight.
The two Stone Beast statues in front of the door are lifelike, with Spirit Light seeming to flash in their eyes.
Through the open doors and windows, you can see dozens of young men and women practicing inside. Some are meditating cross-legged, and some are practicing martial arts. The air is filled with rich spiritual energy.
A woman in Tsing Yi was patrolling the school, stopping to give some advice from time to time.
She has a beautiful face, picturesque features, and an air of transcendence in her movements.
Gu Sheng's gaze went directly across the crowd and landed on a slender figure in the corner.
The woman was dressed in white and was practicing a set of sword techniques with concentration.
The sword light was like water, flowing around her like a dynamic picture.
"Senior sister Ning Shuang's swordsmanship has improved again."
Qin Yurou admired softly.
At this moment, three melodious bells rang from deep inside the academy.
The disciples in the school stopped practicing one after another and gathered together in twos and threes to talk and rest.
"I'm going to call Senior Sister Ning Shuang to come out."
Qin Yurou said and walked into the school.
Gu Sheng stood outside the door, watching Qin Yurou walk towards the woman in green clothes. After the two exchanged a few words, the woman in green clothes nodded and left the school.
Qin Yurou went straight to Gu Ningshuang in the corner.
Gu Ningshuang sheathed his sword and was a little surprised to see Qin Yurou approaching.
"Yu Rou? Why are you here? Has Qing Tan's matter been resolved?"
Qin Yurou shook his head and smiled mysteriously.
"I brought someone to see you."
"Who?"
Gu Ningshuang looked around in confusion, and when his eyes glanced at Gu Sheng standing outside the door, he paused slightly, but didn't stay too long.
"Ning Shuang, come with me!"
Qin Yurou grabbed Gu Ningshuang's wrist, and those eyes that were always smiling were shining with mystery at the moment.
Gu Ningshuang was staggered by her tugging, and the "Elixir of Medicine" in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Yu Rou, what are you doing?"
Gu Ningshuang frowned slightly, his voice was cold and helpless.
"I still have alchemy lessons in the afternoon."
"Oh, schoolwork is nothing!"
Qin Yurou turned back and winked at her, with a sly arc on his red lips.
"There's someone you'd never expect to see!"
Gu Ningshuang was pulled by her and ran out of the school. The sun shone on the two of them, reflecting two slender shadows.
She was about to ask again when she suddenly heard a voice behind her that was so familiar that it made her heart beat faster.
"Senior sister, long time no see."
The sound was like a thunderbolt that struck Gu Ningshuang's heart.
She turned around suddenly, her black hair flying in the wind, revealing a pretty face that was slightly pale from shock.
The young man standing under Begonia Tree was dressed in a black robe, with picturesque features and a faint smile on his lips.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on him, as if he's from another world.
"Qin Tian?!"
Gu Ningshuang's voice was trembling.
"Is it really you?!"
Gu Sheng nodded, with warmth in his eyes.
"It's me, senior sister."
Gu Ningshuang rushed to him in three steps at a time, reaching out to touch his shoulder, but stopped in mid-air, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would dissipate like a bubble.
"Where have you been during this time?"
There was suppressed anger and unconcealed worry in her voice.
"I contacted you countless times using Communication Jade Talisman, but no response!"
Gu Sheng looked at her slightly red eyes and felt soft in his heart.
"It's a long story."
"Do you know how worried I am?"
Gu Ningshuang interrupted him, his voice gradually rising.
"Especially after I heard that you had a head-to-head confrontation with Shen Qingyun, I"
Her voice broke off, calming her emotions.
"Forget it, as long as you're fine."
Qin Yurou watched with interest and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Oh, Ning Shuang, if you're like this, those who don't know would think it's your little wife meeting her long-lost husband!"
"What nonsense!"
Gu Ningshuang's ears turned red and he glared at her.
Gu Sheng coughed lightly.
"Senior sister, why don't we find a place to talk in detail? It's not very convenient here."
Gu Ningshuang looked around and found that several passing disciples had cast curious glances.
She thought for a moment.
"Go to my residence. There are still classes in school in the afternoon, and there are few people in the residential area."
The three of them walked through the winding stone path and came to a secluded small courtyard.
There are three Begonia Tree trees planted in front of the courtyard. The pink and white flowers are in full bloom. The breeze blows and the petals fall like snow.
Gu Sheng stopped and stared, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Begonia Tree"
"I remember the first time we met, it was also under Begonia Tree."
Gu Ningshuang's voice softened, and he reached out to catch a petal.
"You were so tall then."
She gestured to a height of her shoulders.
Gu Sheng chuckled.
"Senior sister was already a little beauty by then."
"Glib tongue!"
Gu Ningshuang rolled his eyes at him, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
She pushed open the courtyard door.
"Come in."
The layout of the small courtyard is simple, with an old plum tree leaning against the corner, and the stone tables and benches spotless.
Gu Ningshuang led them through the front yard to the martial arts training ground in the back.
"Senior sister's life is quite elegant."
Gu Sheng looked around, his eyes resting on the weapon rack at the edge of the training ground for a moment.
Gu Ningshuang snorted lightly.
"Stop interrupting. Can we talk now? How will you spend this time?"
"Sister."
Gu Sheng interrupted her suddenly, with a sly look in his eyes.
"Why don't we practice swordsmanship first? Long time no see. Let me see if senior sister's swordsmanship has improved."
Gu Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"You are still so unreasonable."
She shook her head, but did not refuse.
"Okay, let me see if you have been lazy during this time."
Qin Yurou crossed his arms and retreated to the sidelines with interest.
"Interesting, I'll be the referee."
Gu Ningshuang took out a snow-white long sword from the storage ring, the sword body glowing with a cold light.
"Zhan Xue sword, the master gave it to me last year."
She flicked her wrist, and the sword edge drew a graceful arc in the air.
"I am now at the first level of the Earth Martial Realm. You must be careful."
Gu Sheng nodded, but made no intention of taking out the weapon.
He just raised his hand slightly, and a translucent air sword condensed on his fingertips.
"Is this what you use?"
Gu Ningshuang raised an eyebrow.
"That's enough."
Gu Sheng smile.
Gu Ningshuang said no more, and suddenly rushed forward. The Zhan Xue sword brought up a biting cold wind and went straight to Gu Sheng's throat.
This sword was as fast as lightning, and wherever the sword blade passed, the air seemed to be frozen.
Qin Yurou gasped from the sidelines.
"Ning Shuang This is serious!"
However, Gu Sheng just turned sideways slightly and neutralized the sharp blow with an understatement of his air sword.
The moment the two swords touched, Gu Ningshuang felt as if his sword had hit an invisible wall, and seven percent of its strength was lost.
"Senior sister's swordsmanship has indeed improved a lot."
Gu Sheng praised, his steps changed, and he easily avoided the three consecutive stabs that followed.
Gu Ningshuang had surprise in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fighting spirit.
"Stop talking nice words! Look at the sword!"
As she turned around, her sword moves suddenly changed, from sharp thrusts to dense sword nets like rain.
This is the "Flying Snow Sword Technique" she recently realized. The sword light is like snowflakes flying, and it seems gentle but actually hides murderous intent.
