…………

"No problem." Gu Xu agreed readily.

Under normal circumstances, the owners of the twelve weapons have the ability to fight across realms.

But after Gu Xu obtained the "Jinghong Pen", except in the "Realm of Discussing the Tao", he had never had the opportunity to fight face-to-face with monks in the third realm and above.

He was really curious about how powerful a third-level monk with magical powers could be in reality.

"Relax, I will be very gentle." Hearing his affirmative answer, Shi Xiaohan smiled like a flower.

Not far from them, the maid Chenxi squatted and wiped the floor while looking at the boy and girl who were talking and laughing.

Shi Xiaohan is a young lady without any airs.

On weekdays, she always regarded Chen Xi as a sister with whom she could talk about everything, telling her what she saw and heard every day.

However, as soon as Mr. Gu from the Exorcism Department comes to the Shi family's residence, Chen Xi will instantly feel that he has become a superfluous person and has been forgotten by Shi Xiaohan.

In the girl's apricot-like eyes, there seemed to be only one person left.

"It seems that the young lady has really grown up." Chen Xi smiled and shook his head, thinking silently in his heart.

…………

In the next period of time, Gu Xu, with the assistance of the servants of the Shi family, quickly prepared several home-cooked dishes such as tomato scrambled eggs, fried shredded potatoes, minced meat and tofu, and served them to the table.

Shi Xiaohan had already been sitting at the dining table waiting.

She smelled the hot aroma of the food and couldn't help but start to sip.

Although the ingredients for these dishes are cheap, they are not as good as the delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the big fish and meat she usually eats; they don’t look exquisite at all, and they are not as good as the Jiangnan dim sum she used to eat.

But for some reason, these dishes had an extraordinary appeal to her.

Like cookies on your birthday.

She glanced at the handsome young man sitting across the table and felt that he seemed to have a magical spell that could firmly grasp her stomach.

Then she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat hungrily.

Several plates of food were wiped out by her in an instant, and even the bottom of the bowl was licked clean by her.

Gu Xu noticed that while she was eating, a pattern in the shape of a Taotie pattern appeared faintly behind her - as time went by, its lines became more and more complex.

He knew that this was when Shi Xiaohan was adding layers of "Taotie Seal".

"If I guess correctly, although she eats more than before, the energy of most of the food will be absorbed by the 'Taotie Seal' and will not make her gain weight," Gu Xu looked at her petite body. She silently guessed in her heart, "The girls on Earth in her previous life must have been very envious of her physique that she could not gain weight!"

…………

After the meal, the two came to the spacious courtyard of Shifu.

The sycamore trees in the courtyard had long lost their leaves and were bare, looking solemn and desolate under the blue-gray sky.

Shi Xiaohan changed into a clean dress.

The cold wind blew up the corners of her skirt, revealing her exquisite pale pink embroidered shoes, and also made the mandarin duck hairpin ring on her head jingle in the collision.

And she was carrying a heavy machete on her back.

It's not the "Kunwu" she loves so much, but an ordinary weapon used to practice sword skills.

"You go first!" She looked at Gu Xu and said to him with a smile, "See if you can break my defense."

As soon as she finished speaking, the complicated Taotie pattern appeared behind her again.

Immediately, a translucent spherical barrier appeared around her.

This barrier is like bubbles in the water, wrapping her tightly; and on the surface of the barrier, you can vaguely see complex lines, glowing with colorful light.

At this moment, she looked like a fairy living in a bubble in a fairy tale.

This is the defensive form of the "Taotie Seal".

"Then here I come!" Gu Xu smiled.

Then with a thought in his mind, he took out a "Binding Talisman" and a "Fire Flame True Talisman" from "Xianyun Residence" and threw them towards the location of Shi Xiaohan.

These are the two talismans he is most proficient in besides the "ghost-killing talisman".

After many improvements by him, the power of these two talismans has more than doubled compared to the original version - otherwise, he would not have been able to use the same talisman to make the same talisman in the "Realm of Discussing Tao". The teacher's "Qingluan" Du Jingjing was completely powerless to fight back.

Shi Xiaohan stood motionless, with no thought of dodge.

As expected, the two talismans flew halfway and were stopped by Shi Xiaohan's "bubble". They quickly burned brightly and then turned into black ashes.

"With such a painless attack, do you look down on this heroine?" Shi Xiaohan raised his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to Gu Xu in a measured tone, "Be more diligent and take out your You’re really capable!”

Gu Xu glanced at her, with a helpless smile on his face.

He knew that this girl used to often listen to stories about heroes - therefore, whenever she was fighting, she would involuntarily enter the second level state.

"Since Heroine Shi said so, I won't be merciful anymore!" After hearing her words, Gu Xu responded with a smile, and simply accompanied her to enjoy the heroine addiction.

In the next few minutes, Gu Xu discovered that except for using the "Jinghong Pen" and "Seven Burning Sky Styles", most of his other methods could not break the defensive barrier of Shi Xiaohan's "Taotie Seal".

It wasn't until he used the "Firefly Flame" spell to turn the dead branches and leaves all over the ground into fireflies flying in the sky that the colorful "bubbles" around Shi Xiaohan disappeared.

"What's the name of your move? It looks very powerful!" Shi Xiaohan opened his eyes wide, looked at the orange light floating everywhere in the courtyard, and asked Gu Xu.

"'Yingyan'." Gu Xu replied.

"Which 'Firefly', which 'Yan'?" Shi Xiaohan had obviously never heard of this name before.

"The 'firefly' of 'firefly', the 'flame' of 'flame'."

"What a romantic name!" She couldn't help but sigh.

When she heard Gu Xu's explanation, she couldn't help but think of the beautiful scene last summer night in her mind - she was holding a round fan and sitting under the plane tree in the courtyard of the Shifu. There were bright stars in the sky and sparkling stars around her. Glowing fireflies. At that moment, she felt like she was swimming in an ocean of stars.

So she silently decided to invite Gu Xu to come to the yard to watch the fireflies together this summer - the way the fireflies' light shone in his eyes would be very beautiful.

"Yes!" Gu Xu smiled.

He couldn't help but sigh that boys and girls really focused on different things.

…………

Next, according to the plan, the two began to test the attack form of the "Taotie Seal".

"I will control my true energy at the second level, and I will definitely not hurt you." Shi Xiaohan said seriously every word.

After Gu Xu was ready, she pulled out the heavy machete from her back and struck at his location.

In the cold light of the broadsword, a Taotie figure vaguely emerged. For a moment, the broadsword was carried by the rustling wind, and had the power to overwhelm mountains and seas.

"She seems to have underestimated my ability!" Gu Xu thought silently as he looked at the sword coming towards him.

The "Taotie Seal" doubled the power of Shi Xiaohan's sword than before.

But because Shi Xiaohan deliberately suppressed his strength, it posed no threat to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu stood there, neither dodging nor using any spells.

Instead, the true energy in the body is gathered into the fingertips to build a buffering barrier.

"Look at me catching a sword with my bare hands!"

The next second, he stretched out his hand and clamped Shi Xiaohan's blade between two fingers.

The sword could no longer move an inch.

The Taotie shadow above the blade disappeared.

"Xiaohan, you can actually push harder, I can bear it," he said in a joking tone, "There is no need to deliberately suppress the realm like this."

He said as he let go of his hand.

The girl also took back the sword.

"Then again?"

"OK."

This time, Shi Xiaohan no longer suppressed the true energy in his body, and completely focused his power on the machete. The shadow of Taotie also became particularly clear, and you could feel the amazing energy emanating from it from a long distance away. A chilling and sinister aura.

Gu Xu clearly felt the majestic momentum brewing on the broadsword——

It was as if the blade was carrying the weight of a mountain.

As long as this knife is struck down, the mountain will collapse with a rumble, annihilating all the creatures under the mountain.

Gu Xu couldn't help but become more vigilant.

The true energy in his body is ready to go.

At the same time, he is always ready to take out the "Jinghong Pen" from "Xianyunju".

Once he couldn't stop Shi Xiaohan's fierce attack purely by relying on his true energy, he had to use the "Jinghong Pen" technique of "City-wide Wind and Flood" to dissolve her sword force into nothingness.

However, Gu Xu made complete preparations, but did not wait for the thunderous blow he expected.

Shi Xiaohan held up the big knife and stood motionless, not swiping the knife towards him for a long time.

After a moment, she sighed softly, slowly put down the sword, and then put it back into the sheath on her back.

"Let's call it a day!" she said softly.

"Why?" Gu Xu looked down at her, feeling a little confused.

"Because...because I'm tired." Shi Xiaohan walked to him, raised his head, and looked at him with a pair of bright almond eyes.

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

This girl looked full of energy at this time, without even a drop of sweat on her face, and she was still planning a shocking attack on him just now.

How could he be tired?

She must be lying!

Shi Xiaohan chuckled, stretched out his hand and tugged on his sleeve, leading him towards the sycamore tree.

"Actually... I just can't bear to do anything to you..." She said silently in her heart.

Of course, she didn't dare to say this.

…………

Later, Shi Xiaohan also asked about what Gu Xu saw and heard on Mount Laoshan, about the obstacles he encountered on the way to the mountain, about her father Shi Lei's recent situation, and about Gu Xu's " Companions of the reservists of the Shenji Battalion.

"The prince of Da Qi, the chief's personal entourage, the disciples of the powerful family, the close disciples of the Master of the Jiange Pavilion... Gu Xu, your group of companions in the Shenji Camp are really amazing!"

At this time, Shi Xiaohan hugged his legs and sat on the ground under the sycamore tree. Half of her cheek rested on her knees, and she looked sideways at Gu Xu beside her.

The cool breeze blew up the hem of her skirt, revealing a section of her calf that was as white and smooth as porcelain, her delicate ankles, and her small and exquisite embroidered shoes.

"Of course, you are even more amazing!" She paused for a moment and then said, "You can actually trample them all under your feet and successfully reach the top of Mount Laoshan! It's really unexpected!"

Is this another part of the business exchange that he is most familiar with and good at?

Gu Xu smiled and responded: "But she is still not as good as Shi Nuxia. Shi Nuxia is now a strong person in the third realm, and she also has powerful magical powers like the 'Taotie Seal'. You can do the same in front of them." Show off your skills.”

"But I didn't get selected into the 'Shenji Camp'..."

"That's not your problem. That's because the Exorcist Department Headquarters doesn't have the vision to recognize people."

"..."

[This chapter is not finished yet, there is still a little bit to go. You can read it again in an hour! 】

[The following is repeated content. 】

"I heard that the closed disciple of the master of the Jiange Pavilion was your defeated general. The son of the head of the Chen family in Xiangyang was also trampled under your feet. Even the personal followers of the chief minister cried and begged for mercy in front of you... If my son had you, Half of the time, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams..."

The strong man grabbed Gu Xu's hand and kept chattering excitedly.

This made Gu Xu feel a little embarrassed.

After all, Shangguan Jin, the "personal attendant of the Chief of Staff", is still listening by the side!

"What do you call your Excellency?" Gu Xu had to cough dryly and interrupted the strong man's words.

"My name is Xiong Qing, and I am the deputy Qianhu of the Exorcism Department of Laizhou Prefecture," the strong man replied, "Younger brother, just call me Brother Xiong."

Then, Xiong Qing summoned his natal creature—a huge hammer.

Gu Xuke never thought that one day he would need to "fly with a hammer"!

If "Flying with the Sword" is a fairy-like scene, then "Flying with the Hammer" can only be described as terrifying.

If this hammer accidentally falls from the sky, it will probably kill someone!

At this time, Shi Lei took out another box from the house and handed it to Gu Xu's hand: "This is the swimming crab, a specialty of our Laizhou Prefecture. Xiaohan has always loved eating it. I have to trouble you to bring this box to him." .”

"No problem!" Gu Xu readily agreed, and with a thought, he put the box into "Xianyun Residence".

At the same time, he silently complained in his heart: In this world, there are probably very few foods that Xiaohan doesn’t like to eat!

Then, he followed Xiong Qing to step on the big hammer, quickly rose into the sky, flew into the sky, and flew quickly towards Yishui County.

"Master Shi, it's time for me to go back."

Shangguan Jin looked at Shi Lei beside him, showing a hint of indifference, and there was no emotion in his eyes as quiet as lake water.
