If the martial world were a place where every little thing had a national standard, without a doubt, I would be the number one most unremarkable person in that world.
That day, after pulling a prank on Lou Guanhai, as I was rowing back to shore, he kept shouting threats from behind, "I will tear you to pieces!" His vengeful demeanor was truly chilling.
Once I reached the shore, I planned to make a run for it, but Gu Yizhou stopped me, insisting that I needed to see just how miserable Lou Guanhai's fate would be.
I felt like crying—after all, it was Lou Guanhai who had taken a blow to the head; why was Gu Yizhou acting so foolishly?
If he hadn't stopped me, I would have fled far away within a day, running faster than a dog.
Gu Yizhou "escorted" me back to the inn and locked me in a room.
Across from the inn where we were staying was a martial arts school run by Xing Yun Fort.
Opening the window, I could see muscular men in black training outfits coming and going.
I had a strong premonition that in a few hours, there would be a scene in the inn where a man and woman were surrounded and beaten by two hundred muscle-bound men...
But after a while, I decided not to escape.
The main reason was that I discovered that Xing Yun Fort's martial arts school had been challenged.
That evening, Gu Yizhou and I went to a restaurant for dinner. Almost all the patrons were discussing the events surrounding Xing Yun Fort.
At a nearby table, someone was gossiping about how Xing Yun Fort had always acted strangely and recently seemed to have offended Baiyu Tower for some unknown reason.
Baiyu Tower was once known as the foremost sect in the martial world decades ago. The Old Master, in his youth, was a master of martial arts and a prominent figure in the Jianghu, attracting a large number of devoted admirers.
Among them, the most famous was Princess Yiling, the eldest daughter of the Late Emperor and the current sovereign's sister.
Later, the old lord of Baiyu Tower married Princess Yiling and had children. The Late Emperor granted Baiyu Tower numerous privileges: exclusive rights to trade salt, iron, and tea, as well as the authority to mint coins.
People in the Jianghu often held a bias against those who were connected to the government or royalty, considering it disgraceful. Coupled with the envy directed at their immense wealth, Baiyu Tower found itself ostracized by other sects and gradually shifted its focus to commerce.
Over twenty years passed, and people nearly forgot that Baiyu Tower also possessed exceptional martial skills. It wasn't until they took action today, decisively eliminating all forces of Xing Yun Fort in Yunnan, that everyone suddenly realized: Baiyu Tower was still so powerful, powerful enough that a mere stamp of their foot could change the course of events.
Lou Guanhai and his group must be in dire straits at this moment, unable to spare a thought for us.
Since there was no immediate danger to our lives, it was better to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dali.
Gu Yizhou remained by my side.
His unexpected confession that day truly startled me; however, if I liked him, then so be it. After all, I advocated for freedom in love and relationships.
Moreover, I found myself staring at him longer than before. No wonder those women who kept Cowherd as their lovers knew they shouldn’t but fell deeper into their entanglements… Love truly can cloud one’s judgment!
In any case, I had completely fallen from grace.
During the day, Gu Yizhou and I explored all the famous sights around Dali. At night, we wandered through night markets indulging in delicious food; life was incredibly pleasant.
A week later, while having breakfast, Gu Yizhou suddenly asked me, “Would you like to come see my home?”
"Your home?"
"My home is not far from Dali."
"Great, let's go take a look."
We hired a carriage and set off from the city, chatting and laughing as we rode along.
I didn’t know the direction we were heading, but with Gu Yizhou leading the way, I was sure we wouldn't get lost.
Outside the city, fields stretched out before us, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, offering a unique pastoral charm.
The carriage moved slowly for quite some time, and the scenery along the road gradually transformed from farmland to woods blooming with flowers.
At the end of the road stood towering mountains, with a massive complex built against their slopes. Each building was grand in scale, all constructed of white stone, giving the impression that they were carved from ice and snow at first glance.
I leaned my head out of the window, shielding my eyes from the sun, and exclaimed, "Wow, this city is truly beautiful! Do you live inside?"
Gu Yizhou just smiled without answering.
At that moment, the carriage came to a gentle stop.
