Chapter 697: Chapter 193: Old Places, Old Friends (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Once inside the 5-kiloter safety zone of the city, cars couldn’t speed up, the maximum being only thirty yards.
Gu Pan held the steering wheel quite leisurely while lowering her voice to ask the co-driver,
“Auntie, was it you who called him here? I could have handled it myself. Really unnecessary.”
Gu Yue Ming covered her forehead and said, “Don’t be too strong-headed. If he hadn’t shown up today, we both would have been done for. You, dressed like a tomboy, would probably have been killed outright, but I—it would have been dreadful for , all dressed up beautifully, I can’t even bear to think what would have happened if I fell into their hands.”
“…Tch.”
Gu Pan rolled her eyes and did not respond.
Would I lose?
What a joke.
I, the last shining successor of the Gu Family, needed soone else’s help?
Don’t underestimate ; it really isn’t necessary.
However, his Qingyun List rank 99 strength was indeed strong. I wonder when I too could make it onto the list. I just missed an opportunity to challenge other experts, I could have tried Gu Jiangming today, but it was disrupted…
Gu Pan glanced at Xu Shu’s face, who seed to be sleeping, in the rearview mirror, and pursed her lips. Taking advantage of the slow driving, she squinted her eyes, which sparkled like obsidian, with a shimring silver streak fleeting across them.
These silver streaks, like bubbles, slowly burst in her eyes, like clay calves sinking to the bottom of the sea, eventually vanishing out of sight.
Once calm, Gu Pan slightly tilted her head, as if listening to sothing.
Monts later, she sighed in relief and murmured in a voice as faint as a mosquito,
“…What did you say? You recognize the origin of this calf? You have an impression of this object?”
“If you don’t rember, let it be. It was given by my disciple. Seeing his strength improve drastically lately, he obviously ans no harm… This ans that his manual must be of significant origin, perhaps even older than you, not a product of Esoteric Buddhism. This way, I don’t have to worry.”
“What? In seven days, you can lead into Second Rank? Really? At your age, you better not be fooling . Ack.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll be more polite. Ancestor, you go back to sleep. Once we reach the new territory tomorrow, I’ll feed you blood food…”
…
Xu Shu opened his eyes and looked ahead at the driver’s seat: “What are you mumbling about?”
Gulp!?
Gu Pan shivered, wondering how her whisper had been discovered? This guy’s perception was too strong, how could she prevent him from finding out about the ancestral spirit being revived in her mind?
Her eyes darted around, unsure how to explain, as she was on the verge of being exposed.
Fortunately, Gu Yue Ming, who was touching up her makeup in the mirror, took over and said, “She’s simply upset she couldn’t train herself better. You acted too quickly; she should have suffered a bit to realize the vastness of the world.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Pan imdiately coughed twice, concealing her embarrassnt.
Xu Shu, seeing this, did not probe further, knowing that Gu Pan had always had the habit of talking to herself. Who knew from whom she had picked that up.
Pondering, he suddenly asked, “By the way, the sword technique used by Gu Jiangming earlier, was it called the Four Glances Sword Technique? I once read in a history book about a force nad the East Yue Four Glance Sword. Is there a connection?”
This question had lingered as the place was crowded earlier, but now Xu Shu found it opportune to verify his earlier speculation on the road.
Indeed, upon hearing his question, Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming almost simultaneously asked,
“There’s a record of our family? That’s rare. Where did you see this history book?”
“Is that book still around? Show it to !”
They seed quite excited.
Xu Shu was montarily taken aback. Was the book so important?
There wasn’t such a book, to say, except it was called “Tai Chu Scroll.”
“It was just so miscellaneous writings at a roadside stall, only ntioned in passing, I ripped it out to use as toilet paper,” Xu Shu casually covered up with a fib.
“What, toilet paper…”
The two won were quite displeased.
After a while, they each responded.
Gu Yue Ming explained, “The Four Glances Sword Technique is a family heirloom sword technique of the Gu Family, very powerful, especially when one becos a ‘martial artist,’ it can truly unleash its power.”
“Our Gu Family actually has a long heritage. According to our family records, the na ‘Four Glances Sword’ has been passed down from a very long ti ago—it was our most glorious era! But it’s just that it was a very, very long ti ago, not sure how many years back.”
“Unfortunately, during Ancient Tis, there seed to have been a terrible war that caused countless deaths and injuries in our Gu family. Even the ancestor ‘Four Glances Sword’ survivor was nearly lost, and most of the related history has been lost with ti. Otherwise, you would know how splendid we were then.”
Gu Pan showed a longing expression.
Even Gu Yue Ming montarily put down her powder puff, sighing deeply.
Little did she know, that surviving ancestor still had a Residual Soul alive, now depending on the Curse Seal from the “Big Sword Tomb” absorbed by Gu Pan, anchored within her.
Xu Shu was amazed.
He had verified his previous speculation; the real Gu Family was the legacy of the legendary East Yue Four Glance Sword.
But strangely, according to Gu Pan’s story, their ancestor indeed belonged to the ‘Four Glances Sword’ and had also been through a great battle, where three out of four had died, leaving one survivor.
This, was this not the story of Wang Teng’s ending in his first legend?
Three out of the Four Glances Swords had been killed, leaving one who escaped. Xu Shu was so angry at the ti, he almost smashed his keyboard.
