I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 284 Etiquette
Gu Yao!

The martial artists on the surrounding boats were all stunned when they heard this name!
And when Liu Qi pointed out the old man's identity as the leader of Tianshan Wuji Sect, everyone present was shocked. After a moment of silence, the river was suddenly in an uproar.

"I said this trip was worth it. Manor Master Jiang hasn't shown up yet, but I've already seen the legendary Sky-piercing Swordsman!"

More people's eyes were focused on Liu Qi. They had followed him for so many days, but only today did they meet the real person of this trip.

Overlord, Liu Qi!
Although most of them could only see Liu Qi's back and part of his profile, it was enough to make their hearts flutter and their eyes show infatuation.

Gu Yao seemed to have seen the expressions of the martial artists around him, and immediately looked at Liu Qi and smiled knowingly: "I have heard that Miss Liu is extremely beautiful, and today I see that she is indeed as good as her reputation."

Liu Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and she carefully looked at the old man in white. She didn't find anything unusual, so she knew that the other party's internal strength had also reached the state of returning to nature. Then she opened her red lips slightly: "Stop talking so much nonsense, why don't you play with me before Jiang Jiyu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around Liu Qi seemed to tremble slightly, and a wave instantly appeared on the surface of the river under his feet, and then rippled in all directions.

As the water waves spread silently to the bottom of the ship, more than a dozen ships of various sizes behind Liu Qi began to shake violently.

The people on the boat had not expected that the waves, which looked no more than a foot high, could be so powerful. When the boat began to shake, everyone fell to the ground in a very awkward state. Some people even fell into the water because they were standing too close to the edge of the boat.

Upon seeing this, the smile on the old man in white instantly disappeared. His brows were furrowed and his face was cold. A fierce aura rose from his body, as if it was going to penetrate the clouds!
Chu Xingbai felt the fierce aura from Gu Yao, and his expression changed slightly. He thought that if this old man had taken action on the black-sailed boat just now, he would not have been able to wait for Liu Qi to come and rescue him!
But he immediately thought, maybe Liu Qi had already sensed that the old man was following him, so he found an excuse to send him to test the waters.

Thinking of this, Chu Xingbai's heart couldn't help but shudder, then he turned his gaze and looked at Liu Qi indignantly.

You are so good, Liu Qi, you actually used Uncle Chu as bait!
Liu Qi naturally didn't care what Chu Xingbai was thinking, and she didn't even notice Chu Xingbai's complaining eyes.

Although she felt that there was a master as powerful as herself following their boat, she didn't know who the person was, so she wanted to let the other party show himself before arriving in Jiangnan!
Ancient Yao...

Liu Qi raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the sky above the white-haired old man. To ordinary people, it seemed empty, but in Liu Qi's eyes, the old man was carrying a huge sword that pierced the sky.

Is this the origin of Lingtian Swordsman? People who come up with these names are really capable!
Liu Qi's eyes gradually narrowed, and a cold breath surged out of his body. In an instant, a strong wind blew on the river, and huge waves rolled in an instant, like a group of madly running white beasts rampaging on the river.

Just when the two were on the verge of a fight, a scholar in blue suddenly walked out from behind Gu Yao.

"Miss Liu, how are you?"

Liu Qi looked in the direction of the voice, and the moment his eyes touched the other person's face, he said lightly: "Prime Minister Fu."

The scholar in blue was none other than the former Prime Minister, Fu Qingshu, who had resigned and returned home.

His appearance seemed to have not changed much since that day in the palace. He still looked like a gentle and elegant middle-aged scholar, but the heavy haze under his eyes made his face always linger with a deep sense of weariness.

"Brother Gu."

Fu Qingshu nodded and smiled at Gu Yao.

The old man in white's expression changed for a while, but in the end he shook his long sleeves lightly, and at the same time, with his hands behind his back, the fierce aura that pierced the sky on his body instantly disappeared.

Seeing this, Liu Qi pursed his lips slightly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly leaped forward, leaving a residual shadow on the spot.

Swish!
Everyone only heard a sharp sound of breaking air, and in the blink of an eye they saw Liu Qi appear in the air in front of the old man in white, slashing down diagonally with a knife in one hand.

Gu Yao showed an angry look on his face. Before the purple light came, he raised his hands behind his back in front of him. His sleeves fluttered and countless energy surged out, colliding with the purple arc of light that was coming diagonally.

when! when! when! …

The martial artists around all showed horror on their faces, with their eyes filled with anger.

Apart from the terrifying sound of metal colliding, they could only see afterimages constantly passing by on the river surface and the occasional flash of purple light!

when--

The blade shining with purple light collided diagonally with a crystal clear sword.

Liu Qi raised his eyes slightly and met the stern eyes of the old man in white clothes who was holding a sword in both hands. Both of them moved their eyes slightly, and then retreated tacitly.

Gu Yao gracefully stepped out and landed on the bow of the black-sailed boat. He seemed to have noticed that Fu Qingshu behind him was about to come forward, so he immediately turned his head slightly and called out softly, "Brother Fu", stopping Fu Qingshu from moving forward.

Then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at the graceful figure.

Liu Qi landed on the top of a ship at this time. The person standing behind him was Chu Xingbai, who was staring at the back of Liu Qi's head with a gloomy face.

Gu Yao's right wrist that was holding the sword suddenly trembled, and the long sword in his hand disappeared into the fat cuffs with a "whoosh". A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Liu Qi and said loudly: "Good swordsmanship, I have been in the martial arts world for decades, but this is the first time I have seen a swordsmanship with such strong murderous intent!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi turned slightly, with the Jingji Knife still hanging at his side, and then said softly: "Your swordsmanship is not bad either."

Although the two of them only fought for a few breaths, they fought head-on for more than ten moves. The opponent's sword was no less fast or powerful than Liu Qi's mad sword.

"Miss Liu..." Gu Yao's smile widened, and he said amiably, "I think we should stop here today."

Liu Qi nodded slightly and said "OK", then sheathed his sword, turned around silently and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me: "Miss Liu, please wait a moment."

Liu Qi paused, his plump earlobes trembling slightly, and he heard the sound of breaking air coming from behind him. As the sound got closer, Liu Qi raised his hand and suddenly held something in his hand.

She glanced sideways and saw that the object in his hand was just an ordinary wine jug.

"This wine was brewed by me personally. Although it has no name or surname, it tastes good. If Miss Liu doesn't mind, you can take it back and taste it!"

Liu Qi's nose moved slightly, and the aroma emanating from the wine pot was exactly the same as the aroma of wine he had smelled before, so he gently shook the wine pot in his hand, left a word "thank you", and then jumped up and flew towards the big ship in the center of the river.

"Hey, wait for me!" Chu Xingbai, immersed in the aroma of wine, suddenly found that Liu Qi had gone far away, so he hurriedly flew after him, still yelling.

After Liu Qi's back disappeared from his sight, Gu Yao's smile instantly faded, and the blood color on his face quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, his face turned pale as if he was dead!
"Master!" Zhao Dengyun was the first to notice that something was wrong with Gu Yao's aura. He quickly strode forward and extended his hand to support Gu Yao. Then he asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

Gu Yao shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay."

Then he reached out and pulled open his shirt, revealing half of his chest covered with bloodstains the size of hair strands.

Zhao Dengyun only took a glance and felt a tingling sensation on his back, especially when the bloodstains began to wriggle like insects, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. The "wriggling" in Zhao Dengyun's eyes was the wounds on Gu Yao's body healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After less than fifteen breaths, all the bloodstains were gone, without even a trace of scar left.

Gu Yao's face gradually turned red, and he put on his shirt again. He caught a glimpse of his stunned disciple beside him, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "It is said that the killing intent of the mad knife is pervasive. I am lucky to see it today."

"Brother Gu, were you injured just now?" At this time, Fu Qingshu, who was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, had also woken up from his shock. He walked closer and said to Gu Yao in a deep and concerned voice.

Gu Yao shook his head gently: "I was careless for a moment and fell into this woman's murderous intention. It's nothing serious."

After hearing what Gu Yao said, Fu Qingshu was so shocked that he was speechless. He felt his mouth was a little dry. After a moment of silence, he asked in a hoarse voice: "In your opinion, Brother Gu, who will win the battle between this girl and Brother Jiang?"

Gu Yao's face darkened upon hearing this, and he fell into deep thought for a long time, then he sighed, "Today, my fight with this woman was just a brief one. If you want to say who is stronger between her and Brother Jiang, I really can't tell at the moment."

After Gu Yao finished speaking, he saw that Fu Qingshu looked solemn and worried, so he smiled and comforted him, "Brother Fu, you don't have to worry too much. With Brother Jiang's martial arts skills, even if he can't win, he is more than enough to protect himself!"

Fu Qingshu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Gu may not know Ji Yu, and... he has never seen Miss Liu's methods. I am afraid that the battle between the two will end in a fight to the death. No matter who wins or loses, there will definitely be another bloody storm in the martial arts world!"

Gu Yao raised his eyebrows and said "Oh" softly, then asked, "In fact, from the moment I received Brother Fu's handwritten letter, I had doubts in my heart. Brother Fu said in the letter that disaster was approaching, but I really didn't understand. Now that the King of the East Sea is in charge of the court, although there are some disturbances in the martial arts world for the time being, there is still no big chaos."

"Brother Fu." Gu Yao stepped forward, looked directly into Fu Qingshu's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "If you still think that I am a trustworthy friend, why not tell me frankly, what are you still worried about?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingshu looked at Gu Yao deeply. After a moment, he took a deep breath, shook his head, and replied, "Brother Gu, don't think too much about it. Just think of it as the random thoughts of this old man Fu Qingshu before he dies!"

Seeing that Fu Qingshu was unwilling to tell the truth, Gu Yao shook his head helplessly, but considering their past friendship, he didn't say anything more.

"The battle between Liu Qi and Jiang Jiyu has already been announced to the martial arts world. Now, this battle is known to everyone in the martial arts world. So even if you have a thousand reasons, I cannot intervene casually, otherwise the century-old reputation of Tianshan Wuji Sect will be destroyed in my hands."

Gu Yao was worried that Fu Qingshu invited him to Jiangnan in order to help Jiang Jiyu deal with Liu Qi, so he took the initiative to make it clear.

Fu Qingshu took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "Please rest assured, Brother Gu. Although I am not from the underworld, I still know the rules."

"That's good."

Gu Yao nodded slightly, then raised his eyes and looked around, and found that the people from the martial arts world on the surrounding boats were all looking at him curiously. Fortunately, these people still had self-awareness and just watched from afar, and no one dared to drive the boat closer.

Gu Yao retracted his gaze and instructed his disciple Zhao Dengyun beside him: "Dengyun, send a letter of divorce to the ship and sign it with the seal of the master."

Now that he has been completely exposed, Gu Yao decided to follow the rules of the martial arts world and take the initiative to pay a visit. Today, the girl surnamed Liu was a little young and energetic, but she didn't look as difficult to deal with as the rumors said.

Zhao Dengyun replied "yes" and went back to the boat awning to prepare.

……

Liu Qi returned to the boat and just as he landed on the deck, he saw Tao and his party coming towards him in a hurry.

Before she got close, Tao suddenly stopped, covered her mouth and said "Ouch", her eyes widened as she stared at the position in front of Liu Qi.

Today, Liu Qi was wearing a plain white long dress, and there was a blood flower left on the left shoulder of her dress.

Liu Qi lowered his eyes and took a look, then said softly: "Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound."

Gu Yao is a sword master who has understood the meaning of sword.

When Liu Qi was fighting with him, every time the opponent drew his sword, the sword intent poured out like a violent storm. She was not good at defense, so when facing an opponent of the same level, she was bound to suffer some superficial injuries.

Of course, that old guy probably isn’t much better than me.

For a top master like Liu Qi, superficial injuries are not even as serious as a mosquito bite for an ordinary person.

During the time back on the ship, Liu Qi's shoulder injury had completely healed. After returning to the room, Tao carefully undressed Liu Qi and took a look. When she found that there was no scar, she immediately showed a surprised expression.

"This..." Tao gently stroked the delicate and smooth skin on Liu Qi's shoulders and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sometimes, mother really doubts, Fangfu, whether you are about to become an immortal!"

However, when Tao saw the wine pot that Liu Qi was always holding, she couldn't help but chuckled: "Maybe he is a little wine fairy!"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently touched Liu Qi's forehead, scolding her: "What kind of girl likes to drink?"

Liu Qi put on her clothes silently and removed the cork from the wine jug. When the rich aroma of wine entered Tao's nose, she instantly forgot what she had just said.

They are both top masters, so why does he make such good wine?

Liu Qi held a wine jug and sat cross-legged on the roof of the boat, looking at the red sun that was about to set in the distant sky, revealing a rare look of contentment.

But her expression suddenly turned serious, and she said coldly: "If you take another step forward, I will chop off your head to accompany the wine!"

Chu Xingbai, who tiptoed to a place not far behind Liu Qi, turned pale and threw his hands away like a broken jar, saying angrily: "Liu Qi, this is your fault. After all, this wine is also the result of my uncle Chu's hard work. Why are you eating it all by yourself?"

At the end of the conversation, smelling the tempting aroma of wine, Chu Xingbai couldn't help but licking his dry lips.

Liu Qi didn't even turn his head. He held the wine pot and stood still like a cross-legged sculpture. He looked up into the distance and said softly, "Did the man named Zhao just deliver a letter?"

Chu Xingbai nodded and said, "They want to visit you on board. Your family is waiting for your reply!"

Liu Qi pursed his lips and tapped his fingers on the wine pot. Listening to the crisp sound, Liu Qi said slowly: "This Tianshan Wuji Sect really doesn't know the etiquette. Who would visit without bringing gifts?"

"Haha, they are a wealthy and powerful sect with hundreds of years of history. Do you think..." Chu Xingbai sneered a few times and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when suddenly his eyes lit up as if he thought of something.

"How about... let's ask that guy named Zhao to send a few more bottles?"

Liu Qi turned his head silently and looked at Chu Xingbai coldly: "What are you still waiting for here?"

"I'm going right now!"

"Woo!" Chu Xingbai left with joy.

Liu Qi picked up the wine jug and brought it to his mouth, then tilted his head back and swallowed the last bit of wine remaining at the bottom of the bottle.
