"Invitation. On the first day of next month, the Sword Tomb of the Guan clan in Tianshui County will be opened. You are invited to come."
"Jianzhong..." Ling Yunpo looked at the invitation and felt a little inexplicably tired, "Is this another secret realm?"
"Pfft!" Guan Shanyue laughed out loud, while Xiao Changyan next to him was speechless and explained:
"What secret realm... The Sword Tomb is the residence of the ancestor of the Guan family."
"Back then, after my ancestor became an immortal, he stayed in the clan and stayed in the Sword Tomb all year round." Guan Shanyue had laughed enough, so she patiently added, "It only opens once in a while.
Door."
"Every time our ancestor opens the door, our Guan family will invite many new swordsmen from all over the world to go to the Guan family's land to meet our ancestor."
"After all, the ancestor of the Guan family is an immortal and has infinite attainments in the way of swordsmanship. Even just a casual hint will be enough to benefit you a lot." Xiao Changyan said with emotion, looking at Ling Yunpo's eyes with envy, "Can you
Getting an invitation from the Guan family in Longxi is the dream of many swordsmen."
"That's it. Thank you, Senior Sister Guan, for your kindness." Ling Yunpo accepted the invitation solemnly.
"By the way, there's another invitation here." Guan Shanyue took out another invitation, "It's for Senior Sister An. I would like to ask Junior Brother Ling to deliver it to you."
"Let me hand it over?" Ling Yunpo asked in confusion, thinking why don't you just give it to her?
"Senior Sister An and I had some misunderstandings in the past." Guan Shanyue saw his doubts and said with a smile, "If I go by myself, she might not even accept the invitation, so I can only trouble Junior Brother Ling.
"
"It's just a big misunderstanding, but it is an invitation from the Guan family after all..." Xiao Changyan shook his head, obviously not believing that Senior Sister An was willing to refuse.
The two of them exchanged a few words with Ling Yunpo, and then Yu Jian left.
Ling Yunpo went down the mountain to buy wine and meat in the market, and then returned to Qingluo Peak. He saw An Zhisu sitting on the swing a little bored, holding on to the rope and swinging slowly.
After losing her natal sword, Senior Sister An didn't even do her daily swordsmanship training and morning lessons, which made Ling Yunpo very worried.
"Senior sister, I went to buy beef tendons today and some good sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine." He raised the food and wine in his hands and gestured, "Want to have some?"
An Zhisu raised his head, showed a gentle smile, nodded and said:
"good."
The two sat down by the pavilion, and Ling Yunpo poured wine for his senior sister enthusiastically:
"Sister, please drink this cup first."
An Zhisu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
When the wine entered my heart, I felt drunk immediately and my vision became a little blurry.
She quickly and quietly circulated her true energy, refining all the alcohol in her belly, and instantly she was like a normal person again.
Ling Yunpo poured himself another glass of wine and drank it happily. He felt that the alcohol was not high, it was sweet and refreshing, and he felt very comfortable.
He set up the small earthen pot on the stone table with a copper stove, added a lot of fine firewood and lit it.
Soon the earthen pot made a beeping sound, and he opened the lid like a treasure. An Zhisu saw that rolling in the steaming marinade were shiny taro, which had been stewed in advance.
Beef tendon.
Even though she had been fasting for a long time, she still couldn't help but move her index finger when she saw this thing, so she put her chopsticks in and picked out a piece, chewed it carefully, and her eyes lit up.
The two of them had a hearty meal. After they were full of wine and food, Ling Yunpo took out Guan Shanyue's invitation when he saw his senior sister narrowing her eyes in comfort.
When An Zhisu saw the invitation, his face immediately fell and he frowned:
"I don't want to go to her house."
"I heard that the ancestor of the Guan family is an immortal." Ling Yunpo patiently advised, "A few casual tips will be of great help to our swordsmanship."
"I won't go even if it helps." An Zhisu turned his back and said displeasedly, "That is her clan's territory after all. Who knows what kind of trap is set in there?"
"Why did senior sister say that?" Ling Yun pretended to be surprised, "Then Guan Shanyue...how did he offend senior sister before?"
"I'm not offended directly, it's just that she and I can't stand each other." An Zhisu sighed and said, "She always likes to talk in roundabout ways, is weird, thinks she's humorous, but is actually mean. You think I'm a cutthroat
How did the title "Grass Sword Fairy" come about? It was first spread from Cuizhu Peak, and it caused me countless troubles, but she was still vaguely proud of it."
Ling Yunpo was speechless, thinking that the nickname "Poyun Sword Immortal" seemed to come from Guan Shanyue.
Is this guy a nickname maker? He likes giving people nicknames so much, how about I give you one another day?
"Anyway, I don't want to go." An Zhisu finally said, "If you want to go, go by yourself, but try to have as little contact with her as possible."
"Senior sister." Ling Yunpo sighed, "Do you still remember what I told you last time?"
"What?"
"If Qingluo Peak wants to get rid of its current predicament, it is not advisable to just practice behind closed doors. We must also pay attention to making connections and developing allies."
"Of course I know this." An Zhisu said helplessly, "Jingang Peak is separated from the mountains by the forest, and Huanglong Peak is separated by the sea. If we happen to meet you on the road, I will say hello."
"But this is Guan Shanyue, I really don't want to deal with her, she's too annoying."
So if you say hello well, does it count as making connections? Ling Yunpo began to feel troubled by his senior sister's emotional intelligence.
"They are different."
"What's different?"
"In terms of swordsmanship, Guan Shanyue may not be as good as Lin Duanshan and Duan Fenhai." Ling Yunpo analyzed, "But don't forget, the Guan family in Longxi has swordsmen for generations. How powerful is the Qing sect in Shushan? In terms of connections.
Guangbo, these two together are probably not as good as Guan Shanyue."
An Zhisu was silent for a long time, but could not refute.
Of course she knew that Guan Shanyue had a wide network of contacts in Shushan, or in other words, given his hypocritical character, it would be strange if he was not good at dancing.
In the past, when her master Su Jian was still alive, he used to set an example and taught her to be happy with her grudges. "When you meet someone you don't like, just kill him with one sword."
Although An Zhisu did not follow all the instructions, he was still affected by it, and he usually likes to be straightforward.
A person like Guan Shanyue, with her status and strength, would not give in even if she won a fight, so she tried her best to avoid contact, but she never thought about trying to compromise with the other party and maintain a semblance of harmonious relationship.
At this time, Ling Yunpo advised her to be "tactful", but she subconsciously resisted.
However, after a second thought, An Zhisu had to admit that what his junior brother said was really hard to criticize.
Master taught himself to be happy with his grudges, but now he has been reduced to a life-and-death situation. It shows that being straightforward may not be a good thing.
Rather than "listening to Master's words", what I have to do more is to maintain the Qingluofeng Taoist tradition. Otherwise, how can I have the face to see Master after he comes out of seclusion?
To maintain the Tao system, what the junior brother calls "smoothness" is indispensable...
An Zhisu thought about it and finally made up his mind, closed his eyes, sighed and said:
"I understand, junior brother...I, I just go with you."
"That's very good." Ling Yunpo nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly something felt wrong.
Hey, you obviously want to make connections, but why do you say "come with me" again?
