When the Game Goes Out of Control
Chapter 11
"Miss Gu, who is this Chivalrous Warrior?"
The guard sensed that something was amiss. This young man seemed to be acquainted with Miss Gu. Although Gu Xiuci had nothing to do with Happycloud Heights, she was now an esteemed guest of the Heights. Who wouldn't give face to a beauty?
He immediately changed the way he addressed Su Tingyun. Not long ago, he had been clamoring that any shameless person would dare to come knocking on their door, completely treating him as a Jianghu swindler.
Gu Xiuci covered her face and smiled. She explained, "This is my uncle's older brother. When he was young, he left home to learn martial arts. I didn't expect to meet him here today." She smiled and lowered her head to ask, "Xiao Liu, do you still recognize him?"
The well-behaved child looked at them blankly. After a long while, he still shook his head.
Su Tingyun affectionately patted his head and continued, "When I left, Xiao Liu was just a little boy. It's natural that you don't remember. I'm the only son of your Uncle Su's family. When I was young, your older sister loved to chase after me and call me Brother Tingyun. Don't forget it in the future."
So this Cangyun's disciple was called Su Tingyun. Gu Xiuci and Xiao Liu made a mental note of it and tacitly agreed that they were acquainted with each other.
The two of them put on a show, scaring the onlookers into thinking that they were old acquaintances. Little did they know that this was the first time they had met.
Life was like a play. It all depended on acting.
However, the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land could not be faked. Su Tingyun had a lot to ask, and so did the other side.
Probably because they had been standing at the door for a long time, the people in the house had also heard the commotion. Not long after, a slender figure walked out from the Heights. The person who came had a scholarly air and looked slightly tired. Although there were traces of age on his handsome face, he was still a rare handsome man.
"This person must be Li Xunhuan," Su Tingyun subconsciously thought. Other than Dongfang Bubai on the Black Wood Cliff, the Jianghu people he had met in the past few days were all boorish people. This Li Xunhuan did not disappoint the title of Tanhua Scholar. He was a bit interesting.
Sure enough, Gu Xiuci said, "Big Brother Li, why did you come out when you haven't recovered from your cold? Didn't you say that you should try not to go out these few days?"
He wanted to go out for a walk but was caught red-handed. Li Xunhuan laughed dryly, "Isn't this a bit boring …" Speaking of which, Li Xunhuan was the one who saved this pair of siblings in the snow. In the end, they were the ones who took care of him more along the way. How could Li Xunhuan not feel weak?
"Even so, Big Brother Li shouldn't have disobeyed the doctor's advice."
Gu Xiuci shook her head disapprovingly. Then, she remembered that there were still old friends present. She pulled a few people aside and introduced them, "Brother Tingyun, this is Li Xunhuan. Big Brother Li saved me, Xiao Liu, and Hoodlum. It was thanks to Hoodlum's righteous help that we were able to come to Baoding successfully."
"So this is the famous Li Tanhua. I am Su Tingyun. I have heard a lot about you.
Brother Hoodlum, you are very good. "Su Tingyun cupped his fists and smiled. His face was so bright that it made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. Then, he was puzzled again," Saved?
Then what happened? I just wanted to ask, why did you and Xiao Liu come to Baoding? "
"It's a long story …" Gu Xiuci said with a downcast expression. She seemed to have remembered something sad and lost her spirit.
Su Tingyun only knew that this Seven Talents disciple's acting skills were superb. She must have made up a touching identity for him. Based on what she said before, could it be that he was a hero saving a beauty?
Women and children always made people lower their guard against them, especially when they were not carrying weapons.
If he hadn't seen the Seven Talents' uniform, he wouldn't have recognized them so quickly.
As for Xiao Liu, if her surname was Liu, she was most likely Domineering Blade.
Whether it was Domineering Blade with Milk or Domineering Blade with Bingxin, these two people were not to be trifled with.
Was it a coincidence that they were picked up by Li Xunhuan, or was there another reason?
Su Tingyun came with the idea of getting to know Li Xunhuan. Now that there was an opportunity in front of him, he immediately took advantage of it.
He suggested, "No matter what, I still have to thank Li Tanhua and Hoodlum brothers for saving me. Xiuxiu is like my own sister to me, and Xiao Liu is like my own younger brother. I just finished my apprenticeship not long ago, so I don't have anything valuable to thank you.
How about this, why don't we do it now? I heard that the Drunken Immortal Tower in Baoding is very famous. Tonight, I will set up a banquet in the tower to thank the two of you for your help. "
"This …"
"Please don't refuse."
Li Xunhuan silently sized up the man at the door. This person's eyes were clear, and his face was full of righteousness. He must be a chivalrous person.
Just now, he had heard from the room that this person wanted to help catch the Plum Blossom Robber. Even though the guards had made things difficult for him for a long time, he didn't show any impatience. Obviously, he had a good upbringing. Although he hadn't made a name for himself in Jianghu, he might become a young talent that everyone would talk about in the near future.
Li Xunhuan immediately wanted to make friends with him. He smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully accept your invitation."
Although Hoodlum didn't say anything, he nodded in agreement.
The group agreed on a time and place, and Su Tingyun went to prepare first. Because they were acquaintances, Gu Xiuci asked to go with him. In private, however, they wanted to exchange information. Xiao Liu was still a child, so he naturally followed his sister.
The three of them gradually walked away, and from their backs, there was a sense of deja vu that others couldn't interfere. Hoodlum couldn't help but feel disappointed.
As soon as Su Tingyun appeared, he felt a sense of crisis. Even though he lacked common knowledge, he knew that marriages between the children of aristocratic families were common. This person was Miss Gu's childhood sweetheart, so how could he not think about it?
After this matter, Miss Gu would probably leave Baoding very soon. He didn't know when they would meet again.
Sensing his disappointment, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Li Xunhuan was also an experienced person, so he knew Hoodlum's thoughts at a glance.
However, he couldn't even jump out of the troubled feelings of love, so what qualifications did he have to guide others?
After leaving Happycloud Heights, there were no outsiders, so the atmosphere became more casual.
Su Tingyun turned to look at his new companions, and found that they were also looking at him. The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Electric Five Pairs of Dreams, Su Tingyun."
"Electric Eight Peerless Talents, Gu Xiuci."
"Ditto, Liu Xian."
Sure enough, they were all on the same side.
Su Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief, the heavy stone hanging in his heart finally falling down. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I originally prepared for the worst that I would come here alone, but I didn't expect that others would really come with me. At least I'm not alone."
"My junior apprentice-brother and I are the same." Gu Xiuci sighed. She felt the same way.
Originally, she thought that she would definitely die, but unexpectedly, there was still a day when she woke up. However, anyone who changed to a new environment would inevitably panic. Fortunately, she had her Junior Brother with her.
"Junior Brother?"
"Yes, Xiao Liu is my Junior Brother.
If we hadn't agreed to leave together, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know where we are right now. "
It turned out that the two of them were actually fellow disciples, and they even came to this world together!
Su Tingyun was shocked and truthfully told them his situation, "I originally left with my brother, but the person who saved me said that he didn't see him.
I don't know if you two can explain the situation in detail. I don't believe that I was the only one who survived under the same conditions. "
