MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 118 The Swordsman and the Exorcist (4)
==============================
The swaying mountains and forests returned to silence, and everything returned to normal. Only the gravel potholes, broken branches and vines on the ground, and the wounded who fell to the ground prove the fierce battle that just happened.
She walked in front of Ling Yan and squatted down.
"Are you all right?"
"Thank you—the lady."
Ling Yan, who was stunned at first, turned to the side like a conditioned reflex, dodging her touch, Liu Mei frowned imperceptibly for a moment, and thanked her politely and distantly.
"I'm Gu Zhong."
She gave her name before anyone asked.
Gu Zhong did not expect that the reunion after so many years would be such a situation - the lover who was thinking of him lost his memory and had no impression of himself.
However, it is not without reason that Ling Yan will lose her memory.
Her soul was greatly damaged in the wandering of the soul world, and the attack launched by the system in the previous life was almost carried by her alone.
After being absent for a while, Gu Zhong felt even more distressed.
?
She has protected herself so many times, and it is time for her to continue fulfilling her broken promise in this life.
"Thank you Miss Gu."
Chu Cheng turned up from the ground with difficulty, half kneeling and clasping his fists and cupping his hands.
The rest of the people also complied and thanked them.
"Ling Ying!?"
Ling Ying, who was unconscious on the ground, let out a groan and turned around.
When he saw the unfamiliar figure in the arena, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes shifted from the corner of the black robe to the black crystal wrist guard, and then up, staying on Gu Zhong's face, Can't get back to God for a long time.
"Hey! Come back!"
The companion on the side couldn't stand it anymore and tugged at his sleeve.
"Cough cough, Xiaosheng is not talented, Ling family Lingying, dare to ask the lady's name?"
Everyone present did not expect that Ling Ying could see the color to such an extent.
I tried to hook up with this evil spirit on the spot, but people can kill the mountain demons who are helpless to a group of them with one sword, but it is an existence that ordinary people cannot take lightly.
Maybe this is the benefit of fainting. Those who do not know are fearless.
“…”
Gu Zhong gave him an indifferent look, and then looked at Ling Yan.
"My clan brother is not very smart, please don't blame me."
Ling Yan showed an embarrassed smile.
"Who are you saying is not good at brains! Hmm!"
Ling Ying suddenly became annoyed here, and seeing that another quarrel was about to occur, others who could not see it quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth.
"Master! Stop talking!"
Ling Yan ignored the strife of these young people who had just escaped death. She drew another arrow from the quiver on her back and waved it to the night sky—this time it was a signal for help .
"Everyone is more or less injured, and it is inconvenient to move. Let's rest here for a while and wait for the family to come to find us, how about it?"
Although it is a questioning word, it is a statement that cannot be questioned. For them, this is the best way.
"But according to Miss Ling's instructions."
Chu Cheng responded to her first.
"If there is nothing urgent for Miss Gu - can you help people to the end, and leave after our rescuer arrives?"
Even though the sudden appearance of this woman made Ling Yan feel quite uncomfortable, she could only bite the bullet and ask.
Now, if they encounter any devil again, it will be a meal in the blink of an eye.
"Good."
Gu Zhong naturally wouldn't refuse Ling Yan's request, and agreed.
The dead twigs and scraps picked up everywhere were lit as fuel, and a bonfire rose in the center of the crowded field.
In a dark night with only a faint moonlight, it gives people enough warmth and stability.
The people who had just experienced the fierce battle breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground, not even wanting to lift their fingertips, let alone other unnecessary conversations, the scene became extremely quiet for a while.
Xu Shi felt that the atmosphere was too strange and dull, Chu Cheng ran away from the topic and turned to Gu Zhong.
"Where is Miss Gu from? She's so powerful, she never heard of a famous name before."
Gu Zhong's true identity is secretly explored in the touting.
"The rootless duckweed is just a nameless person."
Looking for a giant tree near Lingyan, leaning against it at will, Gu Zhong replied casually, his drooping eyes glanced at Lingyan beside him.
"Miss Gu's sword...doesn't look like a magic weapon?"
Aware that she was unwilling to say too much about her origins, Chu Cheng set his eyes on the sharp sword that Gu Zhong held in his arms, which had been put back in the black coiled dragon scabbard.
"A sword is a sword, what magic weapon can be compared?"
A sneer, a stern look flashed in his eyes, Gu Zhong's answer seemed very contemptuous, and everyone present felt uncomfortable.
"Speaking of swords, I think of some records - I heard that three hundred years ago, there was no magic in the world, only gold and iron objects could be used to eliminate demons. Those who are called swordsmen, who use swords to break through a hundred demons, are not absent.
Unfortunately, with the rise of magic, kendo has declined. It's a pity that I couldn't see Miss Gu Yingzi today, I don't know if I can see you in the future..."
Ling Ying suddenly interjected, and the conversation was full of politeness that was not present when speaking with Ling Yan.
Hearing what he said, Gu Zhong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him like a torch. Ling Ying was stunned by her gaze, his face flushed unconsciously, and he lowered his head a little embarrassedly .
"There are not many people who know the swordsman now."
Putting his lips, Gu Zhong said, confirming his identity from the side.
"Swordsmen, are they all so powerful?"
Ling Yan also asked curiously, she has never heard of the swordsman before, there are too many ancient inheritances, and they have lost their traces in the passage of time.
If it is said that Gu Zhong's sword did not surprise her, it must be false.
People have an innate yearning for powerful things.
"No. In my family, I am the most talented person, others can do it to the same extent as you should. I haven't had time to meet people who are stronger than me. arrive."
Gu Zhong said the longest sentence so far, and poured cold water on a group of people who were thinking about turning kendo.
"However, if it were you, it wouldn't be much worse than me."
These words, Gu Zhong said specifically to Ling Yan.
"So it's the same for people who have no talent to learn anything—"
Someone lamented loudly.
"No, your own sword is always more reliable than a magic weapon, because it will not betray."
Gu Zhong retorted.
"It's as if these objects have spirits."
Chu Cheng chuckled lightly, apparently not taking Gu Zhong's words to heart.
"Hey! I think Miss Gu's words are reasonable, not to mention that there are people in the Ling family who can't practice magic, what if they can practice kendo?
Miss Gu, how about you come to our family as a guest? "
Ling Ying seemed to be Gu Zhong's fanboy at this time, she said what she said, and even dragged Ling Yan, trying to get her to join the team of persuasion.
"Hey! Ling Yan, didn't Miss Gu say you are talented? Don't you want to learn?"
"Miss Gu—"
The call blurted out, and Ling Yan felt a strange feeling in her heart. She felt that this name was very familiar and smooth, so she couldn't help but pause.
I tried to ignore the strange feeling in my heart, and just continued.
"I heard your words just now, and it seems that you are also a wanderer in the world. If you don't dislike it, you can indeed stay in my poor house for a while. Although it is not comparable to any royal palace, it can be regarded as a good place. A place to spend your days at ease.”
Hearing the awkward and familiar address from the previous life in his ears, Gu Zhong couldn't help but smile a little.
"Nothing is necessary."
She agreed again, even if Ling Yan didn't mention it, she would try to stay by Ling Yan's side.
This world is full of perils, Ling Yan lost her memory again, Gu Zhong took hundreds of years to find her, how can she be relieved if she doesn't see her with her own eyes.
"Thank you."
A long string of firelights loomed over the edge of the jungle, echoing their bonfires, and it was time for the rescue team to see the signal.
There are enough people, so they are not afraid of the monsters in the dark night jungle. The rescue team of the Ling family took a group of injured people down the mountain.
The injured children were then taken back to the inns, and Chu Cheng and Gu Zhong, as special guests of the two young masters of the Ling family, stayed in the Ling residence.
This Demon Hunting Conference is hosted by the Ling family and is held within the jurisdiction of the Ling family.
So she received a lot of courtesy in the Ling family than in Chucheng.
After all, the real strong man, no matter where he is, no matter what other people plan to do, he will never be less respected.
Gu Zhong pushed open the eaves of the window and looked down from the luxurious room at the highest point of Ling Mansion.
Her falcon-like gaze wandered in the dark night, trying to find the courtyard she was looking for.
The flapping sound of bird wings is particularly clear in the dark night. A black pigeon is released by someone and blends into the dark night, and I don't know where to fly.
Everyone should get a good night's sleep tonight.
