Gu Xi did not care about the discussions around him. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw a pair of sparkling eyes.

It was a purple-robed woman with a ring around her waist. She walked with a clear and melodious voice. Her bright eyes were kind and her appearance was exquisite. Her every move was indescribably charming.

“You’re Gu Xi?” She sized Gu Xi up and smiled, revealing two sharp canine teeth. She stretched out her hand, “I’m Mengyao from the Luo Shui Peak. Nice to meet you.”

The Luo Shui Peak was the peak with the most female disciples in the sect. Not only were they extremely pretty, but their strength was also extraordinary. The Peak Master was also the only woman among the twelve peaks.

Gu Xi nodded slightly, “Hello.”

“Looks like you’re not as aloof as the legends say you are.” Mengyao winked at Gu Xi, looking very intimate.

Gu Xi did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even the word ‘legend’ was used. Why did he have such a reputation among the other disciples?

“It seems like I rarely see you in the sect.”

“I prefer to cultivate alone or in seclusion, so I rarely walk around the sect.”

After all, he had many secrets, and with the existence of the system, it was not good to reveal them in front of others. Keeping a low profile was the best choice.

“Then you’re weird. I don’t know how strong you are, but I’m afraid we’ll find out once we get to the capital.”

Mengyao was lively and straightforward. She did not act like it was the first time she met Gu Xi, but more like a long-time friend.

It had been some time since Gu Xi had transmigrated here, and Mengyao was the first female disciple who was willing to take the initiative to talk to him. She could not help but ask, “Why? Are you very curious about me?”

Mengyao did not hide anything and revealed a mysterious smile. “Everyone is very curious about you.”

The two of them continued to chat. Gu Xi did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the temperature was decreasing. A figure walked towards him from not far away.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd.

“Senior Brother Leng is walking over. Are you looking for trouble?”

“It’s very possible. The people of Heavy Sword Peak are a bunch of warmongers. Who in the sect hasn’t been beaten up by them? No, it’s a challenge. Senior Brother Leng is always the first to rush ahead for a challenge. I’m sure there will be a good show to watch.”

“I wonder who’s more powerful between Senior Brother Leng and Gu Xi.”

“Of course, it must be Senior Brother Leng.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up with gossip as they looked at Gu Xi and Leng Yun. What they did not know was that the two of them had already fought before, but the winner had not been decided yet.

Mengyao could not help but twitch her lips when she saw this. She lowered her voice and said, “That Ice Face is coming. There must be something bad going on. Be careful.”

Gu Xi remembered the first time he saw Leng Yun. He did not know his name, but he also called him Ice Face. It was fitting.

Even though Mengyao was such a beautiful woman, Leng Yun did not give her another glance.

“The incident last time isn’t over yet. Don’t let me down this time.”

After saying these words, Mengyao and the others who were listening attentively were all confused.

The incident from last time?

Gu Xi understood that Leng Yun was saying that there was no winner in the duel, but he did not expect that this guy would still remember it.

It seemed that it was inevitable to have another fight with him in the capital.

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget it.”

Their gazes met in mid-air. The others even smelled gunpowder. They thought that they would fight, but who would have thought that Leng Yun would turn around and leave.

Just like that? Just like that!

What exactly was going on between these two? Everyone was curious, but it was not appropriate to ask. After all, one of them was a brute and had never been on good terms with anyone. All he did was practice swordsmanship and kill enemies. Meanwhile, the other was a complete mystery.

Mengyao, on the other hand, asked openly, “What is this Ice Cace talking about?”

“It’s about the last time I went to the Heavy Sword Peak. I had a fight, but there was no winner.”

Mengyao froze when she heard Gu Xi’s casual words. She asked in disbelief, “You guys had a fight, but there was no winner?”

“Yes.”

It must be known that Leng Yun was publicly acknowledged as the strongest person in the sect. Gu Xi was actually on par with him, and there was no winner. One could imagine how high his cultivation level was.

The way Mengyao looked at him instantly changed. She secretly reevaluated Gu Xi in her heart.

Soon, the group arrived at the capital.

This was indeed the most bustling place. The people on the streets rubbed shoulders with each other, each with an extraordinary bearing.

Not to mention that this was a special period. Whether it was the upcoming Dao Conference in the capital or the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce’s auction of the Flawless pill, they attracted cultivators from all over the place. It could be said that nine out of ten people were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

The group headed straight for the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. The closer they got, the more people there were. The clothes they wore were of all shapes and sizes. It was extremely dazzling to see.

In comparison, Gu Xi and the others looked plain and uninteresting, blended into the crowd. They were completely inconspicuous.

“There are too many people in the capital this year.”

“That’s right. It’s almost several times more than in previous years. After all, it’s the Dao Conference and a Flawless medicinal pill. Who wouldn’t be tempted?”

“I heard that even some hermit experts have appeared. There will be a good show to watch this time.”
