I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 122 Meeting her is your destiny

Jason saw a distorted figure leap out of the glass.

He did not back down. Firstly, he was not the kind of person who was good at moving around and changing positions. He was a person who planned carefully before acting and preferred to manipulate everything from behind the scenes.

His Prophet class grants him increased personal charisma, making his body charm spells exceptionally powerful.

Generally speaking, after he uses the human charm technique, he can then bewitch others. At this point, no one can resist his bewitchment.

Then, you can provoke them into fighting each other, or incite your enemies to attack others.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not use prophecy in battle to predict the opponent's next move and then judge that the move violated the Lord's taboo, which would directly force the opponent to face the Lord and be judged by the Lord. Very few people could survive such a thing.

Because the success of a prediction is probabilistic, and the future is full of uncertainties.

So, in that instant, his eyes gleamed with a strange light, and he smiled.

Human body charm techniques.

“I am not your enemy.” Jason’s words immediately took effect.

“He is,” Jason said again, pointing at Pei Ju—a clear attempt to sow discord.

However, this combo was completed in an instant, but the person in front of him did not pause at all. With a wave of his white whisk, the whisk turned into strands of silver threads in front of him, like a small waterfall.

He felt the whisk fall on his face, and at the same time, he heard a voice.

"Destroy!"

The whisk seemed to extinguish a lamp; in that instant, the light in his eyes went out.

"go!"

Pei Ju turned around, and Senior Sister Yu was already tugging at his sleeve again. The light in his eyes changed, as if he had shattered the void. He saw glass, and saw those brilliant lights falling on the glass, then suddenly dimming, and saw a maze of light spots.

He appeared in darkness, and seemed to see doors, some near, some far, some real, some illusory.

Before he could even make a sound, Senior Sister Yu led him through one of the mirror doors. He felt his body become incredibly heavy as he passed through the door, and when he stepped on solid ground, he found himself back downstairs.

The tall buildings are no longer visible when you look up, but the streets are bustling with activity.

"Let's go."

Senior Sister Yu waved her whisk and walked ahead at a leisurely pace.

Pei Ju, dressed in white and carrying a magnificent sword, followed behind, strolling through the bustling crowd.

After the two men left after killing the person, not long after, many people came to that room.

There were people from the Kingdom of Dragons, and people from Jason's country. The first thing they saw was the knight and the evil sorcerer sitting dejectedly on either side of Jason.

Both of their hands were covered in blood, and the confidence that had been on their faces was now completely gone.

Jin Fengyue also came here, but his rank was not high enough to know the truth of the matter, and he could not possibly know the decisions made in secret by the Supreme Council.

But this time, a committee member also came here.

This committee member is Xie Xiao, who ranks fourth. He is in charge of internal security, including counter-espionage and various criminal and homicide cases, especially those involving foreign parties.

As soon as he arrived, someone protested, "This is a terrorist attack against our country. Can't your country even guarantee the safety of its visiting guests?"

Xie Xiao then went to Jason, who was completely unharmed, looked him over, and confirmed that he was dead. He then said, "As far as I know, this man once launched a large-scale incitement campaign in Haishi, which stirred up a disturbance."

At this point, he didn't mention Jason again, but instead asked if the two men's injuries were serious. After learning they were fine, he said, "Since he's dead, we won't pursue this any further..."

……

Pei Ju and Senior Sister Yu did not return to the Sword Hall, but instead found a place to eat.

The two did not discuss the assassination attempt again, as if it had never happened, or as if they had done something ordinary.

They ate at a restaurant, with Pei Ju doing most of the eating, while Senior Sister Yu only ordered a glass of water.

Pei Ju had originally thought that someone would come looking for him and his senior sister, but to his surprise, no one came.

So Pei Ju ate quietly there, occasionally thinking of the swallows' nest on Xionglan Peak, and would ask if the swallows had flown back this year.

I sometimes think of the elementary school students down the mountain who go to school every day with their schoolbags on their backs.

They would also ask how the couple who often came up the mountain to bring them things were doing.

Music suddenly started playing in the restaurant.

It was a girl wearing a white dress, with her black hair flowing down, sitting there quietly playing music.

Pei Ju and Senior Sister Yu sat there listening, and even after they finished eating, they didn't leave but ordered a pot of tea.

The two of them sat there, looking at the restaurant, which was doing good business but was also quiet.

After the two pieces were finished, people gave flowers to the girl who played the piano. And it wasn't just one person; more than ten men gave her flowers. The girl simply expressed her gratitude politely, but didn't seem particularly excited.

As soon as she came down, her calm eyes lit up when she saw Senior Sister Yu and Pei Ju. Her calm smile suddenly turned fervent. She quickly went to Senior Sister Yu's side and asked excitedly, yet shyly.

"You, hello, you're so beautiful and have such a great presence! Can I take a picture with you?" The woman looked at Senior Sister Yu with anticipation.

Senior Sister Yu sat there, looking at her calmly. After making her a little nervous, Senior Sister Yu slowly nodded.

She was pleasantly surprised and immediately sat down next to Senior Sister Yu, handing her phone to the person behind her so they could take a picture of her.

Senior Sister Yu didn't move at all; she simply turned her head to look at the person taking the picture.

The woman in white smoothed her hair, sat up straight, and moved closer to Senior Sister Yu.

The photographer took several pictures in a row.

The woman then happily said, "I'm so happy! Can I share this photo on the community? I don't know how to do anything else, I just want to share my life."

Senior Sister Yu looked at her and finally nodded.

The other person then asked, "May I know your name?"

The girl looked expectant, but Senior Sister Yu shook her head and turned to Pei Ju, saying, "Let's go."

She stood up as soon as she finished speaking, and went out with her whisk in hand.

Pei Ju did not answer, but stood up with his sword in hand and followed Senior Sister Yu out.

The woman hadn't even had a chance to say the thought that she wanted to give the other person an anonymous membership card for the restaurant.

After the other person got up and left, she didn't chase after them.

Only after Senior Sister Yu and Pei Ju disappeared did she snap out of her daze and say, "Quick, show me the photos. Did you take them?"

"I got the picture, it's beautiful," the man who took the photo said ingratiatingly.

He had to admit that the female Taoist priest wearing the golden crown was almost otherworldly, but it was precisely because of this that he dared not approach her. Her aloof and independent demeanor made her seem like a fairy descended to earth.

This woman's name is Tan Weiwei. She comes from a good family. Although she doesn't debut as a celebrity, she has a large number of fans online. She only needs to share her daily life to gain a lot of attention.

This restaurant also belongs to her. She comes here to play the piano, partly because she enjoys playing, and partly to relax, film a video, and then share it. When she saw the photos on her phone, she exclaimed with delight, "Great job! I'll give you credit for that, you filmed it very well."

Her praise made the young man taking the picture smile with excitement.

The first photo shows her slightly turned to the side. She is very beautiful, but the female Taoist priest sitting next to her has a scrutinizing air about her, which is indifferent to a few points, but more importantly, it exudes a sense of isolation that makes her unapproachable.

She was speechless for a moment, then flipped through the next few pictures, each one stunning, and the photographer had even changed the angle several times.

She couldn't help but immediately share it on her social media platform.

I was in a bad mood today, so I went to my family's restaurant and played a few pieces. To my surprise, after I finished playing, I saw a super beautiful and elegant lady in the restaurant. I couldn't resist the urge to go over and take a picture with her. I wanted to say a few more words and ask her name, but she got up and left. Does anyone know this mysterious and super beautiful lady?

She finished writing the caption and was about to send the photos out.

But when she sent it out, she noticed Pei Ju, who was also in the photo, and took a few more glances at him. She then realized that he was surprisingly handsome as well.

Although he was only on the side, yet in the center of the composition, there was a faint sense of melancholy about him. He didn't look at the camera; instead, he picked up his teacup and drank tea, whether he didn't want to be photographed or not, it's unclear.

Several of the photos were obscured, but this one showed a woman holding a teacup, her gaze fixed on herself and the mysterious woman beside her. She couldn't tell if the woman was looking at her or the mysterious woman next to her.

The other person's eyes were very clear, as if they were appreciating a painting.

Here, she added another sentence to the text.

[When I was about to post the photo, I was surprised to see that the guy next to me was actually quite handsome!]

Click to send.

She received many comments in no time.

Wow, it's so beautiful.

[So elegant.]

This was the first time Weiwei had felt overwhelmed while taking photos with other girls.

[Even though she wasn't wearing much makeup, she still gave off a powerful, leading lady vibe.]

[Upstairs, yes, even though the light wasn't on her, she exuded the aura of a leading lady.]

[This is the first concrete description of a banished immortal.]

[Wait, am I the only one who noticed that the handsome, melancholic guy next to me is also an internet celebrity?]

That guy is really handsome.

That's Pei Ju!

Is this the Pei Ju from "My Idol is Pei Ju"?

Tan Weiwei read the comments and then immediately searched for Pei Ju's name. She found that Pei Ju had indeed become popular some time ago. At first, it was because he played the flute well, and later it was because a celebrity kept saying that his idol was Pei Ju.

Then Pei Ju appeared, and suddenly he became famous.

She had seen it before, but she hadn't clicked to watch it, assuming it was just some kind of publicity stunt in the entertainment industry.

Seeing this today, Tan Weiwei was certain that it was definitely not a publicity stunt. In addition, she later saw a video in which Pei Ju defeated a spirit catcher with two sword strikes.

She then noticed the sword in the photo, which she hadn't seen before; the sword was sitting on the table.

[Amazing picture!]

A few hours later, her message notifications, which had quieted down, suddenly started ringing again.

She clicked in and took a look.

The first sentence I saw was...

[Senior Sister Yu, you've stepped into the mortal world.]

[This is the legendary Feathered Maiden! Truly, she is like a banished immortal descended to earth!]

[Zhang Ying from Longhu Mountain pays respects to Senior Sister Yu.]

[Senior Sister Yu! Senior Sister Yu's gaze is absolutely stunning.]

[As Senior Sister Yu said, you mortals are nothing but ants.]

[If Senior Sister Yu asks, I'm willing to do anything for her.]

[To the person upstairs, I've already taken a screenshot and sent it to your master.]

[What did Pei Ju and Senior Sister Yu do?] However, not long after this comment was posted, someone else said, "Don't you know about the big things that happened today?"

Tan Weiwei was also stunned after seeing this comment.

Another comment said, "Although Pei Ju is young, he is a new generation swordsman with superb swordsmanship. He is suitable as a protector. It seems that he is very familiar with Senior Sister Qi Yu, so it is only natural for him to find someone he trusts and knows to act together. Judging from the time of this photo and the location of the restaurant, it seems that it has just ended not long ago."

"Sister Yu's actions are always clean and efficient."

However, these comments were deleted by them shortly afterward.

All other comments regarding why Sister Yu is here have been deleted.

All that remained were compliments on Yu Shijie's beauty.

Tan Weiwei immediately began checking other news articles, realizing there might be something she didn't know.

Furthermore, she discovered from the usernames of the commenters that they were all Taoists, and that Sister Yu was also wearing a Taoist robe at the time.

So, what happened during this time?

She first checked some regular news articles but found nothing. Then she checked government media news but still didn't find anything. Finally, she saw a message on the homepage of a Shanghai news website.

"The Hai City Government hereby warns those who harbor illusions that as long as they engage in illegal or criminal activities in the Longxiang Kingdom, they will not escape punishment, even if they manage to get away with it on the first day."

Her family was naturally wealthy; although she herself was not in the extraordinary world, someone in her family had an extraordinary profession.

So she texted her brother: "Brother, look at this news, and then look at my comment. Can you tell me what it's about?"

She connected the news points and threads she saw.

Her brother works in a security department, so she figured the other party would definitely know.

After a while, he said, "I don't have much to tell you, but I do want to tell you that it's already a great stroke of luck that you were able to meet her and take a picture with her. Do you have any video of them entering the restaurant?"

She hadn't expected her brother to say that, and immediately replied, "There should be video footage of him entering and leaving the restaurant."

"Okay, I'll get it when I get home after get off work."

Tan Weiwei got it first. She looked for Senior Sister Da Yu in the video, but found that only Pei Ju came in and only Pei Ju left in the video. The video didn't capture her at all.

She was like someone who didn't exist.

She suddenly understood that it was truly fate that she was able to meet Senior Sister Yu and take a photo with her.
