Ji Zhao smiled drunkenly and asked, "Really?"

Gu Zhibai was also a little drunk, and her movements were much larger than usual. She thrust out her chest, and Zhenli swayed. Even if you covered your ears, you would think her words made sense: "Of course!"

Ji Zhao did not and did not dare to use his internal energy to get rid of the alcohol, fearing that Gu Zhibai would notice something. Therefore, he felt a little dazed. In this state, he smiled and said, "I once heard Master Feng tell a strange story. If you also know this, I think you are amazing."

"What's the point of calling you awesome?" Gu Zhibai was not satisfied. She put down her wine glass, leaned on the table, put her hands under her head, tilted her head and stared at Ji Zhao with a smile. Her voice was a little unclear, "Let's change the bet to something more interesting."

Ji Zhao asked, "What do you want to bet on?"

"Engagement." Gu Zhibai shouted, "If I win, you can cancel your engagement with Lielian."

"Okay, but don't forget to burn incense for me next year. You're the one who killed me."

Gu Zhibai pretended to be shocked: "Young Master Ji, can you not live without Miss Lie?"

"No, it was General Lie who wanted to dismember me alive... I deserved to die for doing so."

"Well... there is no other way. I will just change someone else." Gu Zhibai hesitated for a moment, then tilted her head and smiled, "Then Young Master Ji will sleep with me for one night."

Ji Zhao laughed for a moment, then felt helpless: "It's possible, but you don't have any sincerity at all."

Gu Zhibai pretended to be angry and said angrily, "These are all requests from my heart. If this is not allowed and that is not allowed, then what is allowed? Now it's just a small bet, and Master Ji is making excuses. If I really need your help in the future, won't I be unable to say a word?"

Ji Zhao said, "You know I'm not that kind of person."

"It's hard to say." Gu Zhibai said in a playful tone, "As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Maybe Young Master Ji is just like those prostitutes in the brothel, and he won't recognize you once he puts on his pants."

"This is totally different... Besides, the requests you made are all unacceptable to me." Ji Zhao was a little drunk at this time. His physique was not stronger than Gu Zhibai. When Gu Zhibai was drunk, there was no reason for him to be fine. "Can you change to something acceptable, my dear girl?"

"What are you calling me?"

"Good girl."

"What about the first two words?"

"mine."

"Even a little girl listens to it."

"My good girl."

"I like this one." Gu Zhibai smiled playfully, "Okay, I'll change another one..."

As she spoke, she straightened her back slightly, then stood up and walked to Ji Zhao's side. She wrapped her arms around Ji Zhao's neck, rested her head on his shoulders, tilted her head slightly, put her cherry lips close to his ear, and exhaled a fragrant and hot breath: "Well... my recent blood battle physique seems to be about to make a breakthrough. It's about the part about light skills. I don't know why it's always a little short, maybe it's lacking a little excitement between life and death. How about this, if I win, then, Master Ji will accompany me to the cliff, use your light skills to take me off the cliff, so as to comprehend the blood battle physique, until my blood battle physique breaks through, how about it?"

"......Can."

"It's a deal?"

"It's a deal." Ji Zhao paused. He had other intentions, but as a bet, he still had to make up for it, so as not to arouse Gu Zhibai's suspicion. He gently pushed Gu Zhibai away and said with a smile, "What if I win?"

Gu Zhibai was pushed away by Ji Zhao, but she didn't care. She smiled and said, "What does Young Master Ji want?"

Ji Zhao didn't dare to make excessive requests, such as asking for a favor to be paid off, for fear of being rejected by Gu Zhibai, which would lead to failure. However, he had drunk some wine and his brain was a little confused. He couldn't think of anything suitable for a while, so he simply said, "Then, Miss Gu will pay for this meal."

Gu Zhibai was not very satisfied after hearing this. She smiled and offered Ji Zhao a glass of wine: "Young Master Ji, why don't you have a couple of drinks before considering it?"

Ji Zhao didn't dare to drink any more, so he refused repeatedly and said with a smile: "Well, I have to ask."

"It has to be a strange story." Gu Zhibai returned to her original seat, her long legs crossed, she held her chin with one hand, and said in a playful tone, "If it's something like 'The Ghost in the Back Mountain of Luohe Pavilion', I won't admit it. That kind of thing can't be considered a strange story."

"Not that kind." Ji Zhao paused, and finally asked the question, "Master Feng once told me that according to legend, there was more than one person who received the blessing of Feng Ji. In addition to the Phoenix Ji, there was another person who also received the blessing of Feng Ji. I won't ask who this person is, it's too difficult. Miss Gu just needs to tell me what this person's 'root' is. If you can answer it, Miss Gu will win."

Ning people's names must be three characters, two of which are roots, which can be either a surname or a given name, and must be "a certain word". Ning people believe that they can draw strength from the "root".

When he said this, Ji Zhao actually paid some attention to the changes in Gu Zhibai's expression. However, when Gu Zhibai heard this, her expression did not change at all. She just rolled her eyes and said with a chuckle, "Young Master Ji, did your family master tell you about the other person's roots?"

Ji Zhao smiled and said, "You don't need to ask this. If I say I don't have any, are you planning to just report a Ningren's roots to fool me?"

Gu Zhibai said coquettishly: "Is this the kind of person I am?"

Ji Zhao looked at Gu Zhibai and nodded heavily and slowly.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 29: Eternal Night and Breakthrough

Asking this question is actually somewhat risky. If what Xiaoyao Feng said is true, then Ji Zhao and Gu Zhibai are very likely the descendants of those two people. However, Ji Zhao doesn't know much about Feng Ji's blood, so some things are not certain. It is also possible that Ji Zhao is a direct descendant, and Gu Zhibai is a collateral descendant.

Furthermore, as one of them, Gu Zhibai would definitely be sensitive to this issue...but if she didn't ask now, Ji Zhao didn't know when he would ask. Fortunately, Gu Zhibai would never think that there was anything wrong with Ji Zhao. At most, she would think that Ji Zhao might have discovered her identity from somewhere.

"I'm so sad. I didn't expect that in Young Master Ji's heart, I am such a person." Gu Zhibai puffed up her cheeks, "If you don't believe me, don't gamble with me."

How could Ji Zhao let her get away with this? He immediately said something nice. He just laughed and said, "If I didn't believe you, why would I bet with you?"

"Did you just say that?"

"That's different."

Gu Zhibai didn't ask what was different, perhaps because she was afraid that Ji Zhao would say, "You'll understand it sooner or later." This was really overthinking. Ji Zhao was not a low-level riddler like Han Gongqiu. She smiled and spread her hands, saying, "Young Master Ji, you've hit a wall this time. Not many people in the world know about this, but my master happens to have some records about this."

It is not known whether Gu Zhibai did not care about this or was really tempted by Ji Zhao's masculine beauty. She actually started talking about it. Although it was not known whether it was true or not, Ji Zhao still forced himself to pay attention and wrote down these words, intending to analyze them carefully after he sobered up.

"Yes, what your Master Feng said is true. There is indeed more than one person who received Fengji's blessing... It is worth mentioning that the two people who received the blessing actually had other 'roots' before this. It was just because they received Fengji's blessing that one of them changed his root to Fengji to show respect for Fengji."

Ji Zhao interrupted Gu Zhibai's speech seemingly casually, so as to make himself look less serious: "Is this person the Phoenix?"

“That’s what I mean.”

"This statement......?" Ji Zhao was stunned, "Are there any other statements?"

"Of course." Gu Zhibai smiled faintly, "It is recorded in the ancient books of my sect that at the beginning, the one who received Feng Ji's blessing was actually another person. However, Feng Ji used some means to deal with the person who really received the blessing and took away Feng Ji's 'root'. But fake is fake after all, so Feng Ji's Feng Ji blood is not the real Feng Ji blood. The real Feng Ji blood is still in the body of another person!"

【"Varied......?!"】

Ji Zhao was almost ready to accept the name Feng Ji Zhao, but Gu Zhibai suddenly said this... Feng Ji, who was so popular in Ning Kingdom, didn't even have the real blood of Feng Ji?!

He showed just the right amount of curiosity: "Then who is the one who truly possesses Feng Ji's blood?"

Gu Zhibai looked at Ji Zhao and slowly uttered two words.

"Eternal night!"

Eternal night...?

Perhaps seeing the confusion in Ji Zhao's heart, Gu Zhibai continued, "In the culture of the Ning people, the phoenix is ​​the phoenix, which symbolizes light and heat, and is equal to the sun. In order to avenge Feng Ji and take back everything that was rightfully his, that man changed his root to Yong Ye, which means swallowing up the sun and losing sight of the light. In the oldest Ning people's legend, Yong Ye is the spirit of heaven and earth equal to Feng Ji, but later the phoenix gained power, and Feng Ji's name resounded throughout the world, so fewer people knew about Yong Ye."

She paused and smiled mysteriously: "Legend has it that the Eternal Night Clan is lurking in the State of Yan, planning to overthrow Feng Ji's rule with a shocking conspiracy."

[“Eternal Night…”]

Ji Zhao read it over in his mind, but a thoughtful look appeared on his face: "I always feel... it's ridiculous."

Gu Zhibai heard this and kicked Ji Zhao under the table in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? Are you trying to default on your debt? I will never allow such a thing."

"I didn't say that..."

Ji Zhao had to admit that what Gu Zhibai said matched what he knew. There were two kinds of Feng Ji's blood, one real and one fake. He didn't know whether the fake one became king in Ningguo, but the real one was indeed stranded in Yanguo. This was the case for both him and Xiu Yiyin.

When Xiu Yiyin was brought back, there was a word "Xiu" written in the baby basket. The people from Yishan Sect thought it was a surname, but now it seems that it was probably a name.

Because he was drunk, Ji Zhao didn't dare to think too much at this time, for fear of revealing any flaws, so he forced a smile on his face: "Miss Gu is really knowledgeable and talented... Although I don't know whether it is true or not, but, just take it as true, Miss Gu, don't let me down."

"Of course...So, the bet?"

"You win, I won't default on my debt."

"hehe......"

------

After drinking, Gu Zhibai left alone, not knowing what to do. He only left a sentence to Ji Zhao, "Wait for me in the evening", which could be regarded as sexual harassment in any era.

After Ji Zhao sobered up using his internal energy, he returned to his residence. He thought about the information revealed by Gu Zhibai for a while, and then began to practice again.

There really isn't much he can do now, so he should focus on his own cultivation first... Besides, Zhao Hongyue is also on the verge of a breakthrough.

The improvement of his physique and the acquisition of the Blood Battle Pendant greatly increased Ji Zhao's cultivation speed. Before arriving in Taixuan City, Zhao Hongyue was already on the verge of a breakthrough. Although some progress was lost due to the activation of the Blood Battle Pendant, the progress he had made before would be compensated with additional progress.

Furthermore, Ji Zhao's comprehension has been improved, and he has a deeper understanding of the exercises. This is not only reflected in the increase in the experience gain multiplier, but also in the greatly increased chance of sudden enlightenment. Especially when he sees through something that he couldn't understand before, the experience bar of internal strength will directly increase by a large amount. This is actually a compensation mechanism similar to the Blood Moon in the Sky, which makes up for the missed experience because the comprehension was not level 8. However, compared to the Blood Moon in the Sky, the compensation here is limited.

But it is enough. The improvement from lv7 to lv8 is indeed huge.

It happened that he drank some wine today, and the depression caused by Ji Zhao's long-term practice was swept away. The memory of defeating Taoist Dong came to his mind. He felt extremely happy and fell into an extremely mysterious state again. When Ji Zhao came to his senses, Zhao Hongyue had already made a breakthrough.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Moon and Snow: Chapter 30: White Fox

Having killed a powerful enemy favored by destiny, made progress in his martial arts, learned new skills from watching masters fight each other, and obtained some clues about his life experience, Ji Zhao's mood has been quite good in recent days, and his tolerance has become higher, so much so that during dinner, facing Gu Qu's repeated stupid behavior, he tolerated it with a smile and the bearing of a saint.

"This is a good thing that happened."

Because Zhao Hongyue's inner aura was extremely restrained, Mo Yu could not tell that Ji Zhao had made a breakthrough. He only knew that after meeting Gu Zhibai, he came back and went into the room, and then he kept smiling. He immediately said coldly: "Why not tell me about it."

Ji Zhao smiled and said, "I have made some progress in my inner strength, so I am naturally happy."

"...Really? That's a good thing."

Mo Yu didn't say much after hearing this, but Gu Qu suggested: "Brother Ji, let's go out for a walk after dinner and bring some gifts back to our fellow disciples. After all, it's a rare trip to Taixuan City."

"Okay." Ji Zhao did not refuse, but invited, "Master Mo and Senior Sister Fu, do you want to go together?"

"No." Mo Yu said as usual, "I just learned a new martial art, it's time to practice hard... But you work so hard on weekdays, it's rare to be away from home now, it won't hurt to relax for a few days."

She paused, her voice a little more serious, "But you! Gu Qu! I haven't seen you practice your internal energy since you came to Taixuan City. You would rather lie on the table in a daze than practice your internal energy. You just play all day long. What's the point of you living except to make your rice more expensive?"

Gu Qu shrank his head, weak, pitiful and helpless, but he dared to talk back, but heard her whisper: "You can also eat mutton expensively."

"......" If it was at the stage of just knowing each other, this would probably be so angry that the brain would be congested, but Ji Zhao and Mo Yu have known Gu Qu for so long that they are too lazy to care about such words. Ji Zhao pretended not to hear and cast his eyes on Fu Caige, "Where is Senior Sister Fu?"

Fu Caige looked at the ancient music and shook his head at Ji Zhao: “I won’t go. By the way, Ji Zhao, Ji…my sister is just like your second sister, she likes cute things.”

"Uh..." The latter part of the sentence was incoherent, which made Ji Zhao a little embarrassed, but he still responded, "I know."

After dinner, Ji Zhao and Gu Qu went out and strolled around the night market in Taixuan City.

The earthquake in June had a significant impact on the city, but as one of the most important cities in China, Taixuan City recovered quickly, and today's night market has regained some of its former prosperity.

There was a curfew in the Song Dynasty. Logically speaking, the Yan Dynasty, which is set in the Song Dynasty, should have had one as well. Moreover, there are many warriors in this world. If they are allowed to move freely at night, it will be extremely harmful to the public. There should be a curfew. However, because there is a 'night market' setting in the game, Jing changed a lot of things, resulting in the current situation.

"Brother Ji, what do you think about buying this and giving it to Senior Sister Chu?"

Gu Qu picked up a bracelet and sought advice from Ji Zhao. The senior sister Chu she mentioned was named Chu Yuning. She had been interested in Ji Zhao before Lie Lian arrived... no, before Fu Xieshi, the new class of students, came, but Ji Zhao gave her the senior sister card.

Ji Zhao took a look and said, "She likes cyan, let's change it to cyan."

"What are you talking about, Brother Ji?" Gu Qu asked in confusion, "Senior Sister Chu likes red, everyone knows that."

"What do you mean everyone knows..." Ji Zhao didn't understand what Gu Qu said, and he was too lazy to think about it. He sighed, "She told me that she likes the color cyan. My memory is not that bad. You must have remembered it wrongly."

Ji Zhao would not remember it wrongly. He wore green clothes that day and was praised many times by Chu Yuning, who said that she liked it too. Therefore, during the massage in the evening, he was given a lot of cold stares and sarcastic remarks by Ji Tan.

"No, no, no!" Gu Qu also knew that she had made many mistakes on a daily basis. Ji Zhao did not take her words seriously and waved his hands repeatedly. "It is definitely red. Everyone knows that. Either you remembered it wrong, or you misunderstood it. Think about it, does Senior Sister Chu usually wear red clothes and red jewelry?"

Ji Zhao said: "People don't have to wear whatever color they like."

Gu Qu crossed his arms and said, "Brother Ji...why did you conclude that Senior Sister Chu likes the color cyan?"

"Because she said it to my face."

"No, people don't just like whatever color they like." She learned the ancient music and used it immediately. She shook her finger, which was obviously a woman's finger, and said meaningfully, "Brother Ji, you really don't understand women at all."

Ji Zhao really didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be embarrassed by ancient music, so he squinted his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

Gu Qu glanced at the stall and picked out the ugliest chain. He handed it to Ji Zhao and said in a firm tone, "Give this to Senior Sister Chu. She will also say she likes it very much. Do you want to try it?"

The stall owner then spoke, showing a standard business smile, and said, "You two, this bracelet is forty cents."

"......I do not want."

When Ji Zhao spoke at this time, it was unclear whether he was answering the stall owner or the ancient song.

------

After that, Ji Zhao and Gu Qu continued to stroll around the street.

"Brother Ji!" Gu Qu saw a short-legged white fox on the roadside and looked very excited. "Do you want to buy this? It looks so cute!"

Pets are allowed in Luohe Pavilion, and one disciple even brought a husky with him. God knows how this dog, which was supposed to have been introduced to China in the 1990s, got here nearly a thousand years earlier, but it showed up anyway.

(Note 1)

Ji Zhao came to the white fox and touched it. The white fox had a gentle temperament and was very clingy. He pondered for a moment, then took out money to buy it.
