The next day, early morning.
Lin Xinyue just walked to the yard and found Chang An sitting in the yard.
"An'er."
Chang An looked at Lin Xinyue and smiled.
"mother."
Lin Xinyue sat next to Chang An. Seeing Chang An's serious expression, she thought Chang An was worried about her marriage. She sighed and said seriously.
"An'er, it's not that mother forced you, it's just that your father is gone and mother is old. Mother's only wish in this life is to watch you get married. You said that you would either run away from home day by day, or you would be in seclusion every day. Nian, mother is in a hurry."
As she said this, Lin Xinyue's eyes filled with tears.
"Mom doesn't ask you to be a great hero, I just want you to be safe and sound. Now that Sheng'er's illness has healed, I just miss you so that I can give birth to a fat grandson."
Chang An looked at Lin Xinyue with unbearable expression. He gently held Lin Xinyue's hand, but found that the beautiful mother in his impression had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
He exhaled slowly and said
"Mom, I can promise you to get married, but I really have something important to do. Can you wait until I come back?"
Lin Xinyue was overjoyed and hurriedly explained
"Don't worry, it won't be delayed. The Chu family is also in a hurry. Our wedding banquet is scheduled for ten days."
Chang An was surprised
"So fast!"
Lin Xinyue nodded, and Chang An nodded silently. That's okay, we can do both things at the same time.
At this time, Chang Sheng came over
"Mom, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Xinyue smiled and said
"The Chu family is urging us, but since we're going to get married sooner or later, it's not a bad thing to do it sooner."
Chang Sheng frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
She can understand that her mother is anxious, but her brother cannot fail to see the problem. The attitude of the Chu family is really puzzling.
Chang Fu walked into the yard
"Master, someone from the Chu family is here."
"oh?"
Chang An was a little surprised
"who is it."
Chang Fu took his breath and said slowly
"She calls herself Chu Guanyu, the eldest lady of Chu Family Villa."
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned. Even Lin Xinyue noticed that there was something wrong. It had only been a few days since the Chu family sent the greeting card. Not to mention the rush, now the real owner actually came to visit in person.
A weird smile appeared on Chang An's lips.
He stood up, adjusted his clothes, and said
"Invite her in."
A faint fragrance floated into the courtyard.
When Chu Guanyu appeared in front of everyone, a word popped into the minds of everyone in the yard.
Exquisite and clear.
This word is most appropriate to describe her. Her beauty does not need to be expressed in words, because it can be seen at a glance. But apart from her beauty, what is even more attractive is her pair of eyes that seem to be extremely pure, without any trace of trace. Impurities.
Looking into those eyes, it seems like you can see through her at a glance, and it seems like she can see through you at a glance.
It seems that when facing such a person, you are always willing to give your heart to her, because you will feel that she is also willing to give her heart to you.
"Hello, my name is Chu Guanyu."
The girl's voice, with a faint fragrance, echoed in the courtyard.
Her magical eyes seemed to be looking at Chang An with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Chang An."
Chang An smiled slightly.
"Can you go for a walk with me?"
The originally elegant girl now changed again, becoming a bit more playful.
Chang An, like a well-educated nobleman, slowly stretched out his right hand.
"please."
A gust of breeze blew by, and the black hair fluttered in the wind, and the jade hands were as crystal clear as dewdrops, holding Chang An tightly.
The two of them were like a pair of lovers who had been in love for a long time. They held hands so naturally, leaned together so naturally, and even walked at the same pace.
Lin Xinyue looked at the two people's leaving figures and couldn't help but smile. She could not help but smile from ear to ear. Now she looked like the Li family on the street, that Aunt Li who chatted and gossiped all day long.
"Sheng'er, have you seen how well matched they are?"
On the street, Chu Guanyu and Chang An walked side by side.
It attracted everyone's attention, especially on this street, where there were many acquaintances of Chang An.
"Hey, Chang family boy, who is this girl?"
The old candy seller said with a smile.
"It seems there is something happy happening in the Chang Mansion."
Next to me, the tofu seller also joked.
"This girl is so beautiful. Who is she from?"
"She is said to be from the Chu family. People say that the young lady from the Chu family is the most beautiful woman in the world."
"The Chang family boy is so handsome and blessed."
Chu Guanyu glanced at Chang An playfully, smiled lightly, said nothing, and just continued walking forward.
"Why are you here."
Chang An asked.
"I wanted to come see you."
Chu Guanyu's smile always makes people feel relaxed and forget everything around them.
"Look at what the great hero who killed the Sword God looks like."
Chang An smiled
"Now you see it, are you disappointed?"
Chu Guanyu shook his head, his clear eyes like stars.
"looks nice."
"Then do you think I look good?"
Chang An continued to walk forward.
"nice."
Chu Guanyu chuckled and seemed very happy.
"Are you comforting me?"
"Of course not."
The girl smiled even more happily
"Thank you."
"She's been following us."
Chu Guanyu looked at Chang An with a half-smile.
A trace of helplessness appeared on Chang An's face and he stopped.
"come on."
A figure was sneaking behind the two of them. Upon hearing this, the figure paused, and then walked up timidly.
Zhuang Xiuyu was dressed in men's clothing, with her head lowered, and stood beside Chang An.
"Brother Chang..."
Chu Guanyu looked at Zhuang Xiuyu's delicate face and sighed
"What a beautiful sister."
As he said that, he glanced at Chang An.
Chang An felt Chu Guanyu's meaningful gaze and smiled bitterly.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhuang Xiuyu still lowered his head, glancing at Chang An secretly from time to time.
"Brother Chang, I just want to follow you."
Chu Guanyu looked at Chang An softly and suddenly said
"Chang An, I have to leave."
Chang An was slightly startled
"Leaving now?"
Chu Guanyu smiled slightly, changing from being playful to being elegant and dignified again.
"I just wanted to come and see you. Now that I see you, it's time for me to go."
Chang An nodded.
The girl's beautiful figure slowly disappeared into the crowd, and Chang An let out a long breath.
Looking to the side, with his head lowered, he saw the pitiful Zhuang Xiuyu, angry and funny.
"If you want to follow me, then let me see your archery skills."
Zhuang Xiuyu's eyes lit up and she looked forward to it.
"I won't let Brother Chang down."
In the Chang family courtyard.
Zhuang Xiuyu looked serious and held a red animal bone bow.
Ten feet away, there are five targets.
On the side, Chang An was looking at her.
Zhuang Xiuyu stretched out his right hand, letting the breeze flow through his fingers, feeling the speed and direction of the wind, and raised a confident smile on his lips.
She spread her legs slightly, shoulder-width apart. Just these two movements made Chang An nod repeatedly. As she said, she had indeed practiced.
Holding a bow in his left hand, his left arm is at the same height as his shoulder, his posture is slightly leaning forward, his eyebrows are full of heroic energy, and his charming look is gone. At this moment, he looks more like a cold-blooded and ruthless battlefield archer.
With his right hand, he took out five arrows from his back and put them on the string. On his right arm, the muscles were slightly bulging. The bowstring was instantly pulled open and the bow was fully tightened.
"Whoosh!"
Five feather arrows shot out along the way, carrying a cold light, leaving five faint afterimages in the air.
"Snapped!"
All five feather arrows hit the bullseye!
Zhuang Xiuyu wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves and looked at Chang An proudly.
"Brother Chang, how are you?"
Chang An came over, smiled and touched her head
"Not bad, but still needs improvement."
But there was a turmoil in my heart. Archery requires not only talent, but also hard practice.
Let's not talk about the accuracy, but firing five arrows in unison, reaching ten feet away, already requires a lot of internal strength. Ordinary people definitely don't have such strength.
This silly girl doesn't know it yet, but she may have possessed an internal strength of the jade level without even realizing it.
Chang An thought so.
Zhuang Xiuyu looked depressed
"Brother Chang, how far will it go?"
Chang An smiled, took the long bow from Zhuang Xiuyu's hand, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and pointed it casually into the distance.
"boom!"
The bow and arrow made an explosive sound in the air, and pierced the courtyard wall at a speed that Zhuang Xiuyu could not see.
"boom!"
The feather arrow directly penetrated the thick courtyard wall with terrifying power, raising a cloud of dust.
"You do have talent in this area. I am not as good as you in terms of accuracy, but your strength is not enough. If you can do it a hundred feet away without missing a beat, that would be enough."
Chang An smiled and looked at the dumbfounded Zhuang Xiuyu.
Chang An left, Zhuang Xiuyu shouted behind him
"Brother Chang, I will definitely do it!"
Chang An was thoughtful. Zhuang Xiuyu's talent really surprised him. If she could really continue to hone her strength, one day, she might really be able to help a lot.
At night, Chang An came to Yan Sihai's guest room.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Who!"
Yan Sihai's voice came from inside the house,
"I."
Yan Sihai opened the door and Chang An walked in.
"If you are not busy preparing for your marriage, why are you here?"
"I was disturbed by other people during the day, and we haven't finished talking about it yet."
Yan Sihai had a bad premonition and avoided Chang An's eyes.
"It's all over."
Chang An shook his head and looked at him sinisterly
"We haven't discussed compensation yet."
Sure enough, Yan Sihai muttered for a while, this guy is smarter than me.
"Whatever reward do you want."
"Two questions."
Chang An said.
"Snapped!"
Then, he slapped a long sword on the table.
Yan Sihai's eyes widened when he looked at the sword. He saw that the scabbard exuded an ancient aura, and its peerless edge was emanating from the scabbard.
"Could it be, the sword of the Sword God!"
Yan Sihai blurted out.
"Can you see where it comes from?"
Yan Sihai carefully picked up the sword of the sword god and drew out the long sword. The long sword exuded a cold chill and shone with a dazzling silver light.
"It is indeed strange. The quality of this sword body is unprecedented."
Chang An frowned, he had already seen this, otherwise, he would not have asked the well-informed Yan Sihai.
Yan Sihai and Liang Gong have been friends for many years, and he thought that maybe Yan Sihai could hear something.
"You haven't seen it either?"
Yan Sihai shook his head
"Of course not, but Gong Liang once told me that there are still many treasures in this world that have never been discovered."
Chang An frowned
"I suspect that this sword is related to the twelfth floor."
Yan Sihai said in shock
"That mysterious killer on the twelfth floor?"
Chang An nodded
"I still remember yesterday, someone asked me to meet in the north of the city."
Yan Sihai asked
"I was about to ask you who that person was."
Chang An smiled mysteriously
"I can't tell you who that person is yet, but I got a message that the Twelfth Floor wants the sword in my hand."
Yan Sihai suddenly realized
"It's a pity that Liang Gong is missing. Otherwise, maybe he can know the origin of this sword."
Chang An was silent. At this time, not only Yan Sihai, but also himself wanted to find Liang Gong.
"Second question, what do you think of the twelfth floor?"
Yan Sihai looked at Chang An strangely
"Why are you suddenly so interested in the twelfth floor?"
Chang An sighed and said helplessly
"Since they want this sword, they will naturally come to me sooner or later. I have to take precautions."
Yan Sihai nodded and said slowly
"Speaking of this organization, it is very mysterious. After Jia Wu died, Youfu was purged. Not long after, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in the world. He took control of Youzhou with thunderous means and built a new building on the original site of Youfu. Twelve towers a hundred feet high.”
"He calls himself the Twelfth Floor. It is said that there are twelve assassins on this Twelfth Floor, including himself. Except for himself, who is at the Grandmaster level, the other eleven are all first-class masters at the Kuofu level."
"The main business is to take various assassination orders in the world. It is said that no order they take is missed. And the weirdest thing is that they don't ask for money."
Chang An frowned
"No money? What do you want?"
Yan Sihai said
"They just want bronze, a lot of bronze."
