"Gu Chen is in retreat in the study room, no one is allowed to disturb him."
"If you're not allowed to disturb me, then what are you doing here?"
"I, I'm just watching outside the terrace. This is my duty as a servant!"
"How dare you say that? If that's the case, then I also have the obligation to protect the client!"
On the terrace adjacent to the study room, the flying swallow that fell from the roof met the red fish that rose up on the fire wheel, and then there was such a tit-for-tat negotiation. The female swordsman claimed that the servant has the authority to protect the boss, and
The female flame envoy brought up the entrustment contract to explain, but for a while neither party could convince anyone.
More importantly, the female swordsman and the female flame envoy are both extremely powerful and arrogant people. The two have been dissatisfied with each other for quite a long time. "Unconvinced with each other" means that on the one hand, the two of them are not convinced of each other.
They recognize each other's strength, but on the other hand they have a fierce sense of competition towards each other.
Therefore, there were not many occasions when Feiyan and Hongyu met before, and this sense of competition did not have a chance to surface. However, at this moment when the two sides met on the terrace, the constraints of the narrow space immediately increased the risk of a misfire.
"You don't need extra people, it's enough for Gu Chen to be guarded by me."
"Really? When Gu Chen and I challenged the ghost rock species, I didn't see where you were?"
"That, that's..." Feiyan was speechless by the example given by the female flame envoy. When the boss of his boss fought with Oniwa Zhong, he was not around as a servant. No matter what the reason was, it was difficult to explain it confidently.
On the contrary, the red fish who joined hands with Gu Chen to defeat the ghost rock species has a life-and-death bond, both emotionally and in fact, so his momentum is not inferior to that of the female swordsman who claims to be a follower. The female flame envoy deliberately put on a show
Feiyan's carefree attitude made Feiyan even more angry.
"In short, Gu Chen is in retreat, and as a servant, I have the responsibility to eliminate interference for him." The female swordsman who said this subconsciously stretched out her hand to press the Thunder Sword at her waist.
"Really? In the contract I signed with Gu Chen, there is no such thing as asking for your permission first to see the client." Red Fish crossed his arms over his chest and calmly raised the Yanwa Staff.
Although the female swordsman and the female flame envoy can barely maintain the minimum etiquette in words, the actual atmosphere they exude can be described as tense. Feiyan holds the thunder sword in his hand and Hongyu holds the flame staff in his chest.
, staring at each other from a distance of five or six steps, their gazes filled with strong willpower created invisible sparks in the air.
In the unyielding stares at each other, the competitive spirit of both sides quickly soared from "excess" to "excessive", and then turned into substance and overflowed. I saw crackling thunder light exploding from the scabbard of the thunder sword, and the front end of the flame staff
There were also clusters of sparks rising up like dancing fireflies.
Thunder and sparks surged on both sides of the terrace, feeling like two arrogant wild cats. When they met in a narrow road, they bristled their hair to intimidate their opponents. At this time, whoever showed a little timidity would lose, and the possibility of a real fight was slim.
Not big.
Although the possibility is unlikely, the female swordsman of the Thunder Sect and the female flame user who masters the method of destruction are both top-notch powerful sects. Therefore, even if they are just intimidation, their momentum is enough to change the situation. I am afraid that experienced martial arts
Make the city stay away.
"Hmph, the method of destroying the ghost rock species is indeed extraordinary, but you won't have enough time to prepare for close combat, right?"
"Thanks for the reminder. I happen to have a few Sanskrit spells that can be used in close combat, but I have never defeated the Thunder Sect?"
"Oh, that sounds like fun."
The mutually provocative words continued to heat up. Red Fish tapped the end of the staff with his index finger, while Feiyan's hand slid to the hilt of the sword. Just before the heat soared to its peak, the creaking sound of the door opened instantly grabbed their attention.
past.
The sound of the door opening came from the adjacent study room, and of course it couldn't be someone else who walked out.
Gu Chen, who was wearing casual clothes, pushed the door open and looked at the two women with obvious dark circles under his eyes. Ever since he came back from Kinoji, he had been practicing in seclusion in the study without sleep. Even if he had dust-cleansing water to replenish his energy at any time, he was mentally and physically exhausted.
I have also accumulated fatigue that is close to the limit. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when I opened the door, there seemed to be a visible low pressure pouring out of the study.
"...What are you doing?"
Gu Chen's face was tired, his voice was hoarse, and his mood was not very beautiful as shown.
In contrast, although Feiyan and Redfish hold more than the necessary sense of competition with each other, it does not mean that they lack a clear understanding of their inappropriate and noisy behavior. Therefore, although Gu Chen just asked a question like a complaint,
The female swordsman and the female flame envoy trembled subconsciously.
Rumors that the master would lose his temper and beat people up when his research was interrupted came to mind instantly. Of course, neither of them wanted to leave such an embarrassing impression in the eyes of the master. The fastest one was Red Fish.
"Well, the scenery on the terrace is pretty good, so I came up to take a look. Is there anything else?"
"That's right. It's rare to find good wine, and I also want to find someone to drink it with."
Feiyan also raised the wine pot as a gesture. The two people who were at war with each other a moment ago, at this moment, tacitly understood each other and staged a warm scene of drinking, admiring the scenery, and praising friendship. If only the flame staff and the thunder sword were not still in their hands.
, maybe Gu Chen would really believe this.
However, the rivalry between Feiyan and Hongyu didn’t just start today, and even pointing it out now would not be of any special benefit. Gu Chen sighed and shook his head, his eyes moving to the west view of the city opposite the terrace.
The business building of Gewufang is located on the hillside of Xishan Mountain. From a high position, you can have a panoramic view of Ximen Station and the surrounding streets. Due to the sudden drop in logistics caused by the summer riots, Ximen Station was originally very empty, but the people of Kino who moved to the capital for refuge last time
It was temporarily placed at the station, and now it's a lot more lively there.
However, Kinoji has been completely destroyed. How will Liyang Mansion resettle them after summer?
Looking into the distance, Gu Chen let his thoughts wander for a few breaths, and then returned his gaze to the red fish Feiyan.
"It's true that the terrace has a nice view, and it's really nice to drink and enjoy the scenery. I would be very grateful if you could be a little quieter."
"I know, I know."
"sorry."
When the boss spoke in such a tone, the female swordsman and the female flame user could only bow their heads and apologize honestly.
If there were other pioneers watching at this moment, they would probably be shocked that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, right? After all, the three great swords are as prestigious as the pillars of heaven in the world, and the exterminator is absolutely the most powerful one even in the leadership establishment.
A rare existence. If it had been any other master, even if Shangzao came in person, the two of them would have bowed their heads in such panic.
For Gu Chen, who had accomplished such a great feat, he didn't think it was anything special. He looked helplessly at the two women who bowed their heads to apologize, scratching his cheeks and trying to figure out how to restore the atmosphere.
"Forget it, this is a rare opportunity, so I'll help you introduce each other."
