New Century Swordsman

Chapter 57 Gathering at the Nine Peaks

The cosmic spacecraft cast a shadow covering dozens of square kilometers on the ground. The monsters below ran in a panic under the threat of this ultimate human combat weapon, while the hunters wandering in the wilderness looked at the steel beast in the sky with envy and shock.

"Young master, we will be there in an hour, do you think?" An old man over half a hundred years old whispered, holding an elegant but extremely magnificent robe in his hand, quietly waiting for a reply.

Qi Nian opened his closed eyes, glanced at the old housekeeper who had been in the Zhang family for nearly 120 years, and then closed his eyes and said, "I know. Uncle Ming, please go down first. I'll prepare in ten minutes."

Listening to Uncle Ming's weak footsteps gradually disappearing into the house, Qi Nian slowly opened his closed eyes.

Bang! The physical book in hand echoed, and now reading the physical book seems to have become a symbol of a rich family. Even if life has been simple to pray for the year in the past five years, it can't help but become this habit.

He casually put the martial arts book in his hand aside, and a pair of slender palms rubbed his slightly pale cheeks. Qi Nian's still cold appearance is full of endless fatigue. Obviously, he has received no less unfair treatment in the family than Xiuxiu before.

"It's really troublesome... I can barely accept anyone, as long as I live a few years of life. But... The other party is a show! I don't want to make her unhappy because of me..."

Qian suddenly stood up from his seat, and his whole body moved to the window as if he had teleported.

"Ling Yu, didn't I ask you to see the situation of Xiuxiu? Is this the answer you gave me in the end? Or is the dilemma you are facing so troublesome that Xiuxiu can't protect it?

Qinian looked out of the window in a daze, and the old housekeeper didn't know when he had stood quietly a few steps away, and even didn't find out how he came in before he came to his senses. However, Qi Nian has long been used to the haunt of the old housekeeper. He sighed in his heart, "It's really worthy of being a strong man who has grown up with Grandpa. Just living until now is already a kind of capital enough to be proud of everything."

Then he thought of this sudden marriage contract and said to himself, "Uncle Ming is obviously used by Grandpa to look at me. With his strength, he can indeed control all situations, not to mention that this cosmic aircraft will be caught back in an instant no matter where I hide..."

"Young master, it's time. Let's go."

Uncle Ming's voice is old but stable and powerful with a smell that can't be rejected. There is no change in the face of Qi Nian, but he is more worried about the situation he needs to face.

"No matter what, I can't let this marriage go on!"

After keeping the bottom line in his heart, he strode out, but the faint sigh behind him made him sweat coldly in an instant. Qi Nian suddenly turned his head and looked. There was a figure behind him, but he heard a sound from the front - "Young master, what's wrong? It's not early. You should hurry up.

Prayed to stare at the slightly crescent back in front of him, and his eyes became more and more solemn.

"This old man who doesn't show mountains or water... It's really not simple. The feeling just now was that he penetrated my heart in an instant!"

Qinian clenched his fists tightly, but after a moment, he slowly loosened. After taking a long breath, his face returned to the coldness of the past and followed Uncle Ming's pace tightly.

The wedding date set by Zhang and Li is at the end of September, and there is still a full month left, in Jiufeng City, the capital of Kunlun.

Although there is still a whole month left, many places in the huge Jiufeng City have started some small celebrations. Walking on the streets of Jiufeng, you can see countless merchants with lanterns, and from time to time there are holographic projections showing images of celebration.

"This feeling is really a little confusing!"

Since Ling Yu set foot in Jiufeng City, she felt countless eyes falling on him. No matter where she went, these eyes were tightly attached to his body. Ling Yu frowned and felt the strangeness all over her body and said in her heart, "Twelve, thirteen... Eighteen eyes from different positions stared at the eighteen key points around me. And since they can keep up with my speed, that is to say, these people are all strong on the ground... Sure enough, it's worthy of the ancient clan. This casual strength alone makes people's hearts tremble!"

However, Ling Yu specially changed her dress before entering the city. This is the imperial capital, the city with the strongest guarding force in the Kunlun army. He didn't want to sail in the ditch before he saw Xiuxiu.

It's obvious that the 18 eyes followed Ling Yu and hid the dark place again after a few hours. Obviously, it was not that the ancients found Ling Yu's identity, but his extraordinary strength attracted attention.

"But is it because of what happened a month later? The people in the imperial capital are really... A lot."

Ling Yu looked at the crowds of people walking on the street and muttered in her heart.

Sir, is this your first time to come to Jiufeng? Do you need me to give you a brief guide? Unlike those black-hearted travel agencies, I only charge 20 Kunlun coins.

When Ling Yu came to her senses, a teenager in a cap ran over and said to him from nowhere. His bright smile made people feel a sense of trust from the first sight.

"Guide... So Jiufeng really has a place I have to go to.

Before leaving the forest, the boss's only entrustment to Ling Yu was to go to Jiufeng. He has not had enough time. Now that he remembers, he feels a little sorry for the "cat" who has trained him for five years.

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

While Ling Yu spoke, her hands instantly took out a handful of change from the person passing by, and 20 Kunlun coins.

"If I really can't get along, I should be able to support myself as a thief, right?" Ling Yu thought self-deprecatingly that he was probably the poorest among the strong people on the ground.

Just as the two were about to leave, the whole sky suddenly dimmed without warning, and some timid people couldn't help exclaiming. The teenager beside Ling Yu suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look at that!"

In fact, there is no need for him to remind him how he can ignore the hidden terrible pressure in the sky. He only encountered this feeling in the battle five years ago...

"Sure enough, it is a spaceship, and the logo on it - Zhang Jia, is the person inside praying for the New Year?"

How much Ling Yu wanted to rise immediately at this moment. When he asked Qi Nian clearly, he knew that he would be stopped by hundreds of ground-level strong men before he approached the spacecraft. Even if he was so powerful, he could not break through that level of obstruction.

Finally, Ling Yu silently watched the spacecraft carrying the prayer year gradually disappear into sight and disappeared into the depths of Jiufeng City.

"That should be Zhang's aircraft. It's really scary. I don't think I'll have a chance to see this kind of aircraft in my life."

The teenager looked at the sky where the spaceship disappeared and muttered involuntarily. Suddenly, a big hand fell gently on his head, but Ling Yu looked at his simple expression and smiled.

"Kid, what's your name?"

"Harry Hale."

"Oh? Noah's?"

Only then did Ling Yu notice that the teenager with half of his face hidden under the cap was actually a blonde Noah. He grabbed the teenager's hat and showed his beautiful face below, but heard Harry say, "No, sir, I'm a real Jiufeng man, a mixed race. Sir, it's getting late. Let me take you to Jiufeng to have a good look.

The teenager grabbed the hat from Ling Yu's hand and put it on top of his head again and took the lead in walking forward. Ling Yu followed him casually with a smile. But Ling Yu didn't know that a pair of eyes had just seen him a few kilometers away...

"The man just now... Is it Ling Yu? Although it feels very similar, the face is completely different, but this kind of thing can be changed with internal force at will... Anyway, I don't want you to come here at this time.

Qi Nian's indifferent eyes showed endless worry in an instant, but he returned to the coldness of the past at the moment he left Uncle Ming beside him. He stared at the closer ground and the dense guards, but his worries were even stronger--

"This level of combat effectiveness, no matter who it is, will die if you force it! Whether the guy named Shengke came or not this time, if he let Ling Yu do so nonsense..."

Qian's face did not change because of his worries. His experience in the family in the past five years has long taught him what it means to be happy and angry. He strode off the spacecraft in a pure white robe, while thousands of bodyguards in black below stood neatly on both sides of the intersection.

"Pray young master, I haven't seen you become stronger and stronger for many years."

A beautiful woman came from Aunt Mei, who has been taking care of Xiuxiu. Aunt Mei obviously has been carefully dressed today. A purple cheongsam fully shows her graceful posture, and the thick and appropriate dress on her face makes people unable to ignore her charm.

Is it Aunt Mei? I haven't seen you for more than ten years and you are still as beautiful as before.

For this woman who often takes care of herself when she is young, she can't be as cold as usual. He sighed slightly in his heart and understood that the Li family was going to play emotional cards, but he clearly knew that he had no way. Whoever made his character since childhood was cold outside and hot inside, and he could never treat people who were really good to him coldly.

"Young master, please."

"Hmm."

Qinian looked at the road that could not be seen at a glance and sighed in his heart, "Li family, I'm coming to meet you... And Ling Yu, don't mess around!"
