Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei

Chapter 149 Promise to Protect the Path Ahead (Please Subscribe)

The setting sun seemed to gild Luoyang with a layer of gold.

Lianxing was sitting in the main hall, listening to Xingnu's report.

Her beautiful face grew increasingly cold.

Xingnu reported to her how she found Afei.

But Xingnu naturally concealed what happened in "Cuiyun Tower".

It was only because of the delays on the road that it took so long.

Lianxing said with some annoyance, "We've only just settled in the city, and he's already gone to a brothel?"

Xingnu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."

She wanted to offer some explanation for Ah Fei.

But she already felt somewhat guilty, and considering the Second Palace Master's meticulous nature, she was afraid of saying too much and making a mistake, so she only dared to respond.

Lianxing didn't notice anything unusual about Xingnu, after all, this maid was well-behaved and quiet, and didn't talk much.

A cold glint flashed in her starry eyes, and she snorted softly, saying, "Looking at his youth, I thought he hadn't yet picked up these bad habits, but it turns out he's just like any other stinky man."

Although she knew that most famous swordsmen were prone to indulging in wine and women.

For example, Li Xunhuan and Chu Liuxiang, who were by A Fei's side, were both fond of this kind of thing.

But Lianxing still felt that Afei should be pure and untainted by the mud.

But the reality disappointed her.

A shadow fell over her pretty face.

Xingnu dared not say a word. She lowered her head and walked behind Lianxing, standing quietly in attendance.

She dared not let Lianxing notice her slightly flushed cheeks.

If Ah Fei hadn't had this hobby, how would she have ever had the opportunity to offer herself?

When Afei returned to his residence, he was taken aback to see Lianxing waiting for him in the main hall.

Lianxing remained expressionless, her beautiful eyes filled with icy coldness.

Xingnu stood behind her, pursing her lips and secretly shaking her head and winking at Afei.

Why do I suddenly have this feeling of a drunk man coming home late at night and being caught by his wife?

Ah Fei coughed lightly and stepped into the main hall.

Seeing him return, Lianxing pouted and said coldly, like a first wife, "Where did you go?"

Afei froze.

That tone sounds so familiar.

Fortunately, he had a good reason. After thinking for a moment, he said frankly, "To gather information."

Lianxing frowned and said, "Are you saying you went to brothels to gather intelligence?"

A dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.

For example, if Ah Fei didn't give her a satisfactory answer, she would give him a good beating.

Afei nodded and said, "That's right. Besides taking over these pawnshops we gambled on, gathering information is also an important purpose of our trip into the city."

After descending from Mount Song, he led the two women towards Luoyang.

Because at that time, Luoyang was the largest city near Mount Song.

At that time, Dengfeng City was just a small county town.

Afei paused, and before Lianxing could question him again, he continued, "I've already inquired, but the situation isn't optimistic."

"Tonight, the Shaolin and Beggars' Sect forces will storm in, seeking revenge."

"During the day, they're afraid there will be too many people on the streets, making it easy for me to create chaos and escape."

"Now all four city gates are guarded. My plan is to leave the city before dark."

Now that this pawnshop belongs to me, if a fight breaks out here, property damage is inevitable.

The lesson Ah Fei learned after seizing Li Garden was to let the flames of war spread to other people's homes.

Therefore, he certainly cannot stay at home and wait for opportunities to come to him; he must take the initiative.

Another point is that both factions are currently conserving their strength, so our sudden action will inevitably catch them off guard.

So Afei wanted to act before nightfall.

Lianxing raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "Why before dark? Wouldn't it be more advantageous after dark?"

Ah Fei said, "These guys are planning a surprise attack tonight. How can I give them the chance?"

Lianxing scoffed, "So what if that's the case? Do you think I'd just stand by and do nothing?"

Ah Fei laughed and said, "It would be great if you were willing to help, but if we fight at home, it will be too noisy."

"It would be such a shame to destroy this place before I've even explored it all!"

Lianxing thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll go out of the city with you."

"But where are you going? Back to Li Garden?"

After asking her question, she suddenly stared at Ah Fei's face, her starry eyes fixed on him.

Even his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Because Lianxing had long wanted to abduct Afei back to Yihua Palace."

The Star Slave behind Lianxing also looked up, her face full of hope.

Looking at the two women's expressions, Afei tilted his head and said to Lianxing, "Why do I get the feeling that you don't want me to go back?"

Afei knew that Lianxing's "Mingyu Gong" had now reached the eighth level, almost matching Yaoyue's level.

If she were to return to the palace now, Yaoyue would surely be greatly surprised.

However, Lianxing probably forgot that on Mount Song, the chief of the Heart Lake had nowhere to go and perished together with her.

Even if this is the truth, when people spread the word, it will probably become something like, "The Second Master of the Yihua Palace killed Master Xinhu, the Abbot of Shaolin Temple."

Then she was kidnapped by a teenager.

The Grand Palace Mistress, Yaoyue, must be incredibly annoyed right now.

However, Lianxing said that Yaoyue had just broken through to the eighth level a few days ago, so the two sisters should be at about the same level in terms of martial arts progress.

Ah Fei thought to himself that it must have been his time travel that affected Lianxing, causing her martial arts to progress so quickly.

Otherwise, Lianxing would never catch up with Yaoyue.

Lianxing felt a surge of satisfaction upon hearing this. There weren't many people who could make Afei submit; even her own sister hadn't managed it.

Her starry eyes shone with even greater excitement as she said, "What if I insist on taking you back to the palace?"

Lianxing was even thinking about how to deal with Afei in a way that would defeat him without hurting his pride.

To everyone's surprise, Afei sighed and chuckled, "Alright, I'll go with you."

He remembered that he still had an Emei Sect token jade talisman in his possession.

Mount Emei is located in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and it's right on the way from Luoyang to Yihua Palace in Yunnan.

Afei plans to establish his third force in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, where "Emei" is located.

Although the "Flower Palace" is beautiful, with spring-like weather all year round, it is not yet fully under our control.

Not only have we not won over Lianxing yet, but there's also Yaoyue involved.

Lianxing hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; she didn't even need to use force.

But Ah Fei continued, "Let me make this clear first, this trip is only to escort you two."

"If anything changes along the way, I'm ready to leave at any time."

He mentally calculated the time it would take to travel back to Li Garden in Baoding. "A round trip would take about two and a half months."

That will be a good time to verify Lin Xian'er's results.

Of course, this is based on the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.

If one were riding a fast horse along the official road, this speed would be greatly reduced.

Lianxing's jewel-like eyes darted around, and she readily replied, "No problem."

She thought to herself, "Let's just keep going. With me here, how can he possibly get away?"
