Chapter 220 Ask for advice later

The two were ready and stood face to face, while the people around them watched from a distance.

It hasn't started yet and a referee is needed to watch. For some reason, Ji Rang and Gu Ji Yan started arguing about this.

Gu Junqing ignored the two and asked Luo Xingzhi to be the referee.

Luo Xingzhi didn't care and agreed casually, but the two men's glares at him were indeed a little fierce, so he coughed lightly.

As Luo Xingzhi finished speaking, the competition finally began.

The long sword in Gu Junqing's hand has rarely been used, but it is still in excellent maintenance. It cannot be said to be able to cut through iron like mud, but it is just right for competition. However, compared with Liu Yanshu's seemingly simple and plain long sword, the one in Gu Junqing's hand appears to be more fancy.

The two did not exchange any extra greetings, and attacked directly. Gu Junqing stretched out his sword and tried to stab Liu Yanshu in the abdomen, but he dodged it by leaning sideways. Then he returned the sword to attack his shoulder, but Gu Junqing stepped back and dodged the sword as well.

The sword moves were exchanged back and forth, without distinction between you and me, and the fight became more and more intense.

Outsiders looked at the fight and thought it was a fight between two men who were evenly matched. They were so excited that their blood boiled and they cheered and encouraged each other.

Liu Yanshu listened to the cheers of the young masters who were watching the fun not far away.

He swung his sword and looked at Gu Junqing who was slowly fighting back at him. He thought to himself that it seemed that this person had not yet made a full move and was still planning something. Then he looked at himself. Outsiders could not see any changes. In fact, he could hardly cope with Gu Junqing's increasingly fierce sword. He gritted his teeth. The long sword stabbed forward suddenly. Gu Junqing dodged sideways and then she stretched out her long sword again. Seeing this, Liu Yanshu subconsciously wanted to hide to the left. He thought he could avoid it, but Gu Junqing seemed to know that he was going to hide to the left. The sword tip bent and the long sword was against his neck. As long as Gu Junqing made such a light stroke, his life would be buried here.

Liu Yanshu was sweating profusely. For the first time, he clearly felt the feeling of having a sword on his neck, as if his life was in the hands of others. Liu Yanshu suddenly regretted why he had gone to fight Gu Junqing when he had nothing to do. Now he had lost all his face.

Gu Junqing didn't know what he was thinking, he just stared at him without saying anything.

After hearing him say he gave up, Gu Junqing finally let go of the sword in his hand from his neck.

Actually, there is nothing to be excited about. Since I have already lost, there is no point in continuing the competition, Gu Junqing thought.

Walking up to Liu Yanshu, she saw him looking at the sword in his hand, wondering what he was thinking. She sighed and hung the unsheathed sword back to her waist.

"Your foundation is not solid, your lower body is not stable, and you are too impatient. Just listen carefully in the next sword class. Hard work can make up for lack of talent."

When Gu Junqing said this, there was no emotion on his face. He pointed out some of the shortcomings of Liu Yanshu's swordsmanship in a cold and casual tone.

Hearing this, Liu Yanshu didn't know whether he should say less. He lowered his head and agreed in a low voice. However, after he said this, he didn't mean to leave. He just stood in front of Gu Junqing, opened his mouth, and looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he asked:

"What else?"

"Can I still compete with you, General, in the future? Oh no, I just want to ask for your advice, nothing else..."

Gu Junqing's originally tense expression was amused by Liu Yanshu's slightly nervous words. She chuckled softly, her voice clear and gentle:

"I see. Since you are asking for advice, I will naturally not refuse. Just come."

Hearing Gu Junqing's affirmative answer, Liu Yanshu smiled, but with a bit of embarrassment and shyness. He was no longer as gloomy as he had been a few days ago. He looked much brighter. He smiled and said:

"It turns out that I have always misunderstood General Gu. I heard from others that General Gu is just an idler in the mansion, and there are other unpleasant things, so I subconsciously think that General Gu is a bad person, and then I did such a disrespectful thing. It turns out that rumors are not something that can be believed."

The disrespectful thing refers to what happened the day before yesterday.

Gu Junqing was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Liu Yanshu to speak out his thoughts directly in front of her. She just looked at him scratching his head in embarrassment and shook her head, saying that it was okay and she didn't take it to heart. This was the effect she wanted, but she was a little surprised that she had to deal with the current situation because of her reputation.

After the accident, Gu Junqing looked at Liu Yanshu and the other princes and young masters who were still observing them.

Now that the competition is over, there is no point in continuing to join in the fun.

Gu Junqing asked Liu Yanshu to leave and go to the National Academy's painting school, which was another tutor's place. As for the others, after watching Liu Yanshu say a few words to Gu Junqing and leave, they glanced at Gu Junqing and saw that there was still no expression on her face. They knew that this competition ended with Liu Yanshu's complete defeat.

It's boring. I thought it would be exciting, but it turned out to be just like this.

The group of people had no choice but to follow the direction Liu Yanshu left.

Ye Yun had already followed Liu Yanshu when he left. Seeing his smug and mocking expression, and the resentful expression of Liu Yanshu who was walking in front of him, Gu Junqing thought that Ye Yun seemed to like targeting Liu Yanshu. But it was none of his business.

She packed her things, intending to continue maintaining her persona as an idle general.

She was about to go back to the general's mansion, but after walking a few steps, she was blocked by someone. Gu Junqing looked up at the man standing in front of her, frowned, and looked a little unhappy. She asked:

"Why did Prince Gu stop me?"

This question was clearly directed at Gu Jiyan, but before he could open his mouth, Ji Rang, who was standing behind him, answered first:

"Could it be that Prince Gu was lonely and wanted to go to Yihong Tower for a stroll, and took General Gu with him?"

These words were somewhat venomous, and Gu Jiyan glared at him. Ji Rang snorted and continued, "Or else, wherever you want to take General Gu, take me with you as well."

Gu Jiyan heard this, glanced at him, his face full of disdain, and mocked: "Just you, Lord Ji, you really have nothing to do and are looking for trouble..."

Before he could finish his ridicule, Gu Junqing at the side stopped him:

"Going out to play, more people means more fun, why don't we go together?"
