Chapter 248 The Old Man Who Paints
When Duan Tianya came to his senses, all he could see was the heavy, imposing sword, the "Stop the Cup."
A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead and slowly dripped down.
Because he could sense that if Gu Qianbei wanted to, this sword would strike him on the head.
The illusion sword has been broken.
Moreover, it was completely destroyed.
The sword intent of the Illusion Sword did not disturb Gu Qianbei's sword heart, but was used as a whetstone by him, and he cleaved it in two with one sword.
Duan Tianya had never seen such domineering swordsmanship before.
At this moment, he had fully realized the gap between himself and Gu Qianbei.
That gap is definitely not something that can be narrowed overnight.
"I lost."
Duan Tianya lowered his head and said, his longsword already sheathed.
"You flatter me, Brother Duan."
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, dispelled the blade of the Stop Cup Sword, and put it back at his waist.
"Brother Gu is truly a genius. To have such cultivation at such a young age, in just a few days, the martial world will surely be changed because of you."
Duan Tianya sighed.
I don't care if the world changes because of me. I just want to live the life I want.
My pursuits differ from Brother Duan's. Brother Duan doesn't want to disappoint anyone, but I don't have that kind of person.
Duan Tianya looked at Gu Qianbei, and their eyes met. Duan Tianya felt as if he had been seen through.
"Alright, let's end this sparring here. The environment in Qixia Town is actually quite nice; if you two are interested, you can explore the area."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, could you act as my guide and show me around?"
Yukihime quickly stepped forward and said.
"Sure, I'm not busy lately."
"That's great! Let's go!"
Gu Qianbei looked at Duan Tianya and asked, "Brother Duan, would you like to come along?"
Just as Duan Tianya was about to say something, he noticed Xue Ji's gaze.
The meaning behind that look was simple: don't disturb their date.
Seeing this, Duan Tianya smiled helplessly.
"I'm not going, you guys have fun."
Xue Ji immediately smiled and pulled Gu Qianbei away.
"If Young Master Duan isn't going, let's go."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Duan Tianya sighed silently.
His first love seems to have ended.
Qixia Town Street.
Xue Ji held Gu Qianbei's right hand and looked around curiously.
The scenery here is very different from that in Japan, so everything she sees is new and exciting.
Before she found Gu Qianbei, she wasn't in the mood to wander around, but now that she has, she feels relaxed and naturally has energy for everything.
"Mr. Gu, I'd like to eat that candied hawthorn!"
"Okay, I'll buy it."
"Mr. Gu, I still want to eat that pastry."
"purchase."
"I want to eat that roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)."
"purchase."
Before long, Yukihime had a lot of food in her hands. She ate with a satisfied look on her face, and her mouth was covered with oil.
Gu Qianbei couldn't help but smile upon seeing this.
"You don't look like the young lady of the Yagyu family at all."
If your people saw this, they would be quite surprised.
"It's alright, this is the Ming Dynasty, they won't appear here."
Besides, I'm wearing Ming Dynasty clothing now, who could recognize me as a member of the Yagyu family?
Yukihime smiled.
"That makes sense. I didn't expect you to like these snacks."
I like to eat all kinds of delicious food.
You have no idea how strict my father was with me in this life.
"One can imagine that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami is a very serious person."
"That's right."
Yuki nodded in deep agreement.
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead.
A fat old man was being chased away by a restaurant.
"Go away! You have no money and you still want to eat braised pork? Do you want to get beaten up?"
"If you don't get out of here, I'm going to punch you."
The stall owner said angrily.
The fat old man chuckled and said, "You young man, you really don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young."
I don't need much from you, just a bowl of braised pork belly, why are you being so stingy?
"No! Absolutely not! I'm busy running a business, I don't have time to play games with you! Get out of here."
Seeing this, the fat old man didn't insist, shook his head, and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, Gu Qianbei frowned.
"This fat old man looks like an old painter."
I never expected to run into him after being in Qixia Town for so long.
They're all quite interesting.
Gu Qianbei took out a silver ingot and tossed it to the stall owner.
"Consider this silver ingot my treat to this old man's meal."
Make whatever he wants to eat.
If there's any left, we'll deduct it again next time he comes.
The stall owner was taken aback for a moment upon seeing this, then immediately beamed with joy.
"Alright! Young master, you're a really good person! Old man, your luck has come, come in and have a meal."
The stall owner waved to the fat old man as he spoke.
The fat old man didn't pay attention to him immediately, but instead looked at Gu Qianbei.
"Young man, I don't think I know you. Why are you inviting me to dinner?"
"You don't need a reason to treat someone to a meal, you just need to have money."
I happen to have some money on me and I'm willing to spend it, so I'd like to treat you to a meal.
Old sir, I see you're quite capable. Perhaps this is just a game for you, and you find it quite interesting.
But for the boss, it might ruin his day.
You have the right to enjoy life, but don't hurt ordinary people who struggle to make ends meet.
Their lives are already difficult enough; why treat them as a form of entertainment?
The fat old man was taken aback upon hearing this, and seemed to be deep in thought.
He used to treat these things as his pastime.
He found it amusing to watch ordinary people get angry and upset because of his unreasonable behavior.
Because what he was thinking was that these people were truly blind to his abilities, unaware of his own capabilities, and genuinely believed he couldn't afford the money.
Little did they know, they were just playing a trick on them.
The fat old man found it very amusing whenever he thought about this.
It was a feeling of joy that came from the bottom of one's heart.
He doesn't consider whether they will be unhappy because of it, and even if he does think about it sometimes, he doesn't care.
These ordinary people were completely unimportant to him.
They should feel honored to be able to provide themselves with some amusement.
After all, who am I?
He was a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
There are very few people in this world who are more capable than you.
At this moment, Gu Qianbei pointed this out directly, causing him to fall into deep thought.
Did I do something wrong?
I don't think so.
This young man is being too calculating.
"Heh, this young man is quite kind; he's even thinking about ordinary people."
The fat old man said with a half-smile.
"Having already recognized the vastness of the universe, I still cherish the green of the grass and trees."
I think this is also a good state of mind.
If the senior had this mindset, perhaps they could have gone even further.
