The woman walked out of the crowd and looked at Jiang Lingyun, her eyes changing from uncertainty to determination at the end.
"Yes, you should be Jiang Lingyun."
The woman then affirmed that although she had not seen him for many years, she still recognized Jiang Lingyun's appearance from between his brows, which was no different from before.
"Are you Su Juochan?"
Jiang Lingyun's brows gradually relaxed, and the image of a little girl slowly emerged in his mind.
Su Juechan and Jiang Lingyun were well matched, and the two families were considered aristocratic. Originally, both families had already arranged their marriage, but after Jiang Lingyun joined the Tianyuan Sect, the matter was not mentioned again.
And not long after Jiang Lingyun entered the Tianyuan Sect, Su Juochan also joined the Qingyu Palace.
Jiang Lingyun had mediocre qualifications and could only be a handyman disciple, but Su Suochan was different. She was met by the master of Qingyu Palace when he was traveling. Because Su Suochan had a special physique, she was accepted as a closed disciple by the master of Qingyu Palace.
Originally, it didn't matter even if he was engaged to Jiang Lingyun, not to mention that their marriage was only a verbal agreement between their parents.
But recently, the Palace Master of Qingyu Palace is planning to appoint Su Juochan as the Young Palace Master.
It doesn't matter if she has a marriage contract with her previous status, but as the young palace master, she must be a virgin, so having a marriage contract with Jiang Lingyun is naturally not allowed.
In order for Su Juechan to successfully take over the position of young palace master, the master of Qingyu Palace had to bring Su Juechan to Tianyuan Sect, hoping to terminate the engagement.
"Senior sister, this is the guy you are engaged to? A handyman disciple?"
Although he moved to the cave halfway up the mountain, Jiang Lingyun's identity is still a handyman disciple, so his clothes are also those of a handyman disciple, which can be seen at a glance.
"A handyman disciple is worthy of coveting the young master of my Qingyu Palace! Why not just kill him! Once and for all!"
Now when we meet, the other person turns out to be just a handyman disciple, so there is no need to be polite. The most direct thing is to kill the person outright, and nothing will happen.
Su Juochan did not speak, neither refused nor agreed.
In fact, not speaking was considered a kind of acquiescence.
So when the female disciple saw that Su Juochan didn't speak, she drew her sword and stabbed Jiang Lingyun without saying a word.
"Qiang!"
The Qianyuan Sword was unsheathed and the opponent's sword was chopped off with one strike. The female disciple's arm hurt and she could only abandon the sword and throw it to the ground.
With just one move, the sword of the disciple of Qingyu Palace was knocked down, which made everyone in Qingyu Palace look at him sideways.
"Late stage of foundation building? A handyman disciple in the late stage of foundation building?"
Qingyu Palace and Tianyuan Sect both belong to the upright sects of Canglan Prefecture, and they understand their respective situations to some extent.
I have never heard of the miscellaneous disciples who are in the later stage of foundation building, let alone encountered them!
"You are actually in the late stage of foundation building?"
Su Juechan said in surprise that this was the first time she had looked at Jiang Lingyun. She had no other intention, just because a handyman disciple was not worthy of her taking a serious look.
But now, Jiang Lingyun actually shows the strength of the late-stage foundation establishment, a handyman disciple in the late-stage foundation establishment, this is too strange.
"What? You're disappointed that you didn't kill me with one sword?"
Jiang Lingyun looked at Su Juochan. At this moment, his heart was very calm, without any disturbance.
Jiang Lingyun admitted that Su Juochan was indeed very beautiful, but so what? She was beautiful and could not be eaten, she was just a beautiful skin.
In the past, Jiang Lingyun didn't have much interaction with Su Juechan, and Jiang Lingyun didn't want to have any intersection with Su Juechan in the future.
Now Jiang Lingyun just wants to improve his strength and be able to protect himself in this crisis-ridden world. He doesn't care about other things.
"I have to say that you are somewhat capable, but if that's all you are, you're not qualified enough!"
Su Suochan moved, and a white dress flashed past. Jiang Lingyun's eyes flashed, and Su Suochan was already in front of Jiang Lingyun.
The sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at Jiang Lingyun. There was a flash of cold light and a sword cry. The sword in Su Suochan's hand was already placed on Jiang Lingyun's neck.
All of this was just between the sparks of calcium carbide, and in just a blink of an eye, Su Suochan's sword was already placed on Jiang Lingyun's neck, and Jiang Lingyun didn't even react.
"Golden elixir stage! No! At least the middle stage of the golden elixir, and may even reach the late stage of the golden elixir!"
Jiang Lingyun's face became solemn. Su Juochan was about the same age as him and had been practicing for about the same time. Jiang Lingyun had only recently managed to reach the late stage of foundation building by relying on the system.
And Su Juochan actually reached the Golden Elixir Stage just by relying on her own qualifications!
What a demonic qualification!
At this moment, Jiang Lingyun even understood why Su Juochan came to break off the engagement.
How could such an amazingly talented and beautiful person, the future palace master of Qingyu Palace, have a husband who was a handyman disciple?
This is a shame! If it were Jiang Lingyun, he might have made the same choice as Su Suochan.
However, Jiang Lingyun is still Jiang Lingyun. No matter how much empathy is given, Jiang Lingyun is still Jiang Lingyun. Now that Su Suochan wants to kill Jiang Lingyun, Jiang Lingyun cannot just sit back and wait for death.
"Perhaps you can give me a fair chance to fight."
Although the sword has been placed on his neck, Jiang Lingyun does not want to admit defeat, because surrendering at this moment means death, and Jiang Lingyun does not want to die!
"A fair fight? You want to fight me? Hum! Okay! I'll give you this chance! If you lose, cancel the engagement, and then you die!"
Su Juechan snorted coldly. After all, they were engaged once and were considered childhood sweethearts. However, after so many years, things have changed.
Now that Jiang Lingyun wants a chance, Su Juochan will give him a chance. She doesn't think Jiang Lingyun can win.
So what if Jiang Lingyun is given a few more chances? What if Jiang Lingyun is given a few more years to practice? The gap between the two of them can only be made up by time.
"Junior sister Su! Why bother talking nonsense with this kind of person? Just kill him!"
The disciples of Qingyu Palace do not want to waste time. Yes, they think Jiang Lingyun is just wasting time. Jiang Lingyun will definitely die today anyway.
"It doesn't matter, just use whatever tricks you have! Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
After removing the sword from Jiang Lingyun's neck, Su Juochan just stood there motionless, saying that if she gave Jiang Lingyun a chance, she would keep her word.
"You only have one chance! You must defeat the enemy with one move!"
Jiang Lingyun breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't think Su Suochan was joking, so he only had a chance to survive if he defeated Su Suochan today!
