Chapter 7 Bring Them All!
Frost River Manor. Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)
In the main hall.
The master of Frost River Manor, Gu Min, sat at the top with both hands on the armrest of his seat. He looked like an old man in his sixties, wearing a dark green robe. He was wearing a silk cloak, with wrinkles on his face and white sideburns. However, his other hair was dark and his eyes were indifferent and deep. He looked majestic without being angry.
He was a girl who came from old age, so he looked more like Gu Yaling's grandfather and not her father.
Below Gu Min sat three people dressed in the same crescent-moon-colored long robes. There were faint blue patterns on their robes, and they looked like sparkling waves when the light shone on them.
They were the robes of the Wide Ocean Sect's disciples.
The young man sitting in the first seat was handsome, and he was holding a folding fan that was sprinkled with gold and fallen jade in his hand. He looked like a young master from an aristocratic family, but his expression was cold, and his eyes were filled with arrogance. He seemed to be a bit mean. He was a Foundation Establishment disciple sent by the Wide Ocean Sect. Cao Dong.
The second young man was a teenager. His name was Mao Li, and his eyes were round. He looked very likable. His eyes looked left and right, but he was often embarrassed when others looked at him. He was a little shy, but his cultivation level was only at Qi Cultivation.
The person at the back wore a veil over his head. His face was covered by a white veil, making it difficult to see his face clearly. His figure was also unclear, making it difficult to tell his gender. He was mysterious.
In fact, the people in the manor were also puzzled. The Wide Ocean Sect had said that they were two disciples, but now, there was one more disciple in the manor... However, the people of the manor wouldn't dare to ask such a question.
Gu Yaling, who had cried in Guo Fan's arms for half the night, sat on the armchair on Gu Min's right. She lowered her head and sipped on the tea. She looked down and did not speak. She could vaguely see that her cheeks were bulging and she was very dissatisfied.
Because of her petite figure, when she sat on the large chair, her two feet, which were wearing fluffy embroidered shoes, were suspended in the air. Most of them were covered by the skirt, making her look even more delicate and cute.
The hall was silent. Only the slight sound of the maids placing the teacups could be heard.
It was absurd to say that it was obviously to discuss the marriage between Cheng Liuxian and Gu Yaling, but Cheng Liuxian was not in the hall, but because he was not qualified, he was called to wait outside the hall.
Gu Min and the leader, Cao Dong, had been chatting for a while.
After the matter was almost settled, Gu Min said.
“Today is the official date of the wedding. We were in a hurry the day before, so we didn't treat the three emissaries well. I will first substitute tea with wine, and punish myself with a cup of tea.”
Even though the guest sitting in the hall was an Immortal cultivator, Gu Min's expression did not change much. He lightly said and raised the teacup beside his hand to drink it in one gulp.
“Pa.”
Cao Dong closed the fan and lifted the teacup with a smile. “No need, no need. Villa Master Gu is too polite. Although we are immortal cultivators, we are still immortal cultivators. The name of Frost River Manor was even more well-known in the Veplon Country. We are merely juniors, how can we allow you to punish yourself?”
His words were full of praise and criticism. It was an eccentric tone. Although he said it was respectful, there was no need to be respectful. It caused everyone in the manor to furrow their brows.
However, Gu Min only said, “The emissary is too kind.”
Cao Dong took a sip of tea. He looked at the tea leaves floating in the water and the dense water vapor. He could feel the angry and silent eyes around him, but Gu Min didn't move at all. He secretly sneered in his heart.
What magnate of the Jianghu? He was just a mortal. He seemed to be very powerful, but in fact, he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
He thought that the rumor that this' Ding'an Martial Marquis' was most likely to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage with martial arts was different. He didn't think that he would be afraid of the immortal sects to this extent. He thought that this' Ding'an Martial Marquis' was the most likely person to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage with martial arts, but he didn't expect that he would be afraid of the immortal sects.
If it wasn't for the mission of the sect, Cao Dong, the chief inner sect disciple of the Wide Ocean Sect, wouldn't have come to such a mortal place. Even the tea was extremely poor and rough. It tasted like chewing wax and didn't have any spiritual energy to speak of!
Forget it, forget it. As long as Cheng Liuxian successfully entered the interior of Frost River Manor, it would be a victory, and they would be considered to have succeeded and left.
It was a pity for that little beauty...
Cao Dong's gaze fell upon Gu Yaling. Such a beauty was rare even among cultivators. It was a waste to let Cheng Liuxian benefit from it.
Gu Yaling noticed his gaze and raised her head. Using the cover of the teacup, she glared at Cao Dong fiercely.
A trace of gloominess flashed across Cao Dong's eyes. With a smile on his face, he said, “Miss Gu, I wonder if the wedding dress fits?”
It was fine if he did not ask. When he asked, Gu Yaling, who had been silent for a long time, remembered that she had cried all night in the wedding dress. Thinking of Mr. Xiaobo's comforting words, she suddenly felt aggrieved.
She put down the teacup and jumped down from the chair. She pouted and said, “It doesn't fit! It's ugly! It's so ugly! What kind of immortal sect are you from? Even if you prepare clothes, you will be so ugly that you will die. I don't want to wear this kind of thing to get married! I won't get married this time! ”
She suddenly erupted, causing the entire audience to be unable to react in time.
Butler Huo De's expression suddenly changed. He took the lead and took a few steps behind Gu Yaling. He stared at the three Wide Ocean Sect disciples, ready to protect them at any time.
Cao Dong's face stiffened, then he stood up as well. With a dark expression, he said in a deep voice, “This is the wedding dress specially chosen by the Wide Ocean Sect for the sake of forming good karma. It is a fine product made of spiritual silk. It was considered a generous gift even in the world of cultivation. It was in the Frost River Manor. Is this how you don't know what's good for you?! ”
He looked at Gu Min and said in a stern voice,” Villa Master Gu, you can disrespect the Wide Ocean Sect, but we can also disrespect the Frost River Manor. It seems that you don't want this kind of good karma. I advise you to think about the consequences of becoming enemies with the Wide Ocean Sect! ”
Cao Dong's expression was cold. He opened the fan in his hand. The fan bone was like a thin sword, flickering with a dark blue cold light. The aura of a Foundation Establishing Stage was released, causing all the female servants who didn't have any martial arts to fall to the ground in fear.
Mao Li was startled. He also stood up and carefully advised, “Senior brother, please calm down. Perhaps Miss Gu doesn't like that style...”
As for the person wearing the curtain hat, he was as calm as Mount Tai. He sat down on his own and picked up the teacup to take another sip.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense, but everyone knew that even if Gu Yaling lost her temper, it was already decided.
However, the more she lost her temper, the worse it would be for the three of them from the Wide Ocean Sect.
Why bother...
Huo De smiled bitterly, and then his gaze became firm. But no matter what, he had to protect the young lady's safety.
Cao Dong flicked his sleeve to get rid of Mao Li. He coldly harrumphed and said, “Manor Master Gu, what do you think?”
Gu Min sighed, stood up and said, “Envoy, please understand...”
These words undoubtedly showed his weakness. Cao Dong's expression eased up, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a proud and cold laugh. The people of the manor had aggrieved and resentful expressions on their faces.
Tears were about to fall from Gu Yaling's eyes, but she did not expect Gu Min to change the topic. A frightening cold light seemed to shoot out from the old dragon's eyes as he shouted, “It's not that Frost River Manor doesn't know what's good for them, it's the Wide Ocean Sect who has gone too far!”
“You...”
Cao Dong was enveloped by this imposing aura, and he subconsciously took a step back. His face stiffened, and he was shocked and angry.
“I will endure it for a while, but this is not a reason for you to push your luck!”
Gu Min looked down from above, and he opened his eyes like a sleeping lion. With his hands behind his back, he said, “Although this old man is old, I have already killed a Core Forming Stage Immortal a few years ago. Even an elder of the Wide Ocean Sect has to show some respect when he comes here. You are just a Foundation Establishment junior. Who gave you the courage to act so tyrannically in front of me? ”
“How dare you! A mere mortal, a mere mortal!”
Cao Dong was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. In a fit of rage, he circulated the Spiritual Energy and slammed it on the table. The table exploded with a bang, and a wave of air rolled, sending everyone half a step away.
Gu Min waved his hand and released a wave of inner energy to protect Gu Yaling. However, the remaining spiritual energy shattered the teacup on the table. With a bang, the pure white porcelain broke into pieces and sputtered.
“Ah!” Gu Yaling was close to him. Although she was protected, she still subconsciously closed her eyes and cried out in fear.
- -
Guo Fan had the idea of taking a look and ran to the entrance of the hall not far away.
There weren't many guards at the entrance, because the people gathered in the hall were the few people with the highest combat strength in the entire manor.
When he was young, he was the master of Frost River Manor, “Ding An Wu Hou,” Gu Min. He was the steward of the assassination organization, Huo De, and two Foundation Establishing Stage disciples of Wide Ocean Sect.
It would be strange if these few people needed those mortal guards.
He felt that he could take a closer look.
Guo Fan thought to himself. He looked left and right and squatted in the underbrush in a rather wretched manner. He carefully pried open the underbrush and tried to learn from the characters in Assassin's Creed to nervously and agitatedly sneak into the underbrush.
It turned out that he really succeeded!
He did not know if it was because Guo Fan's + 5 movement skill was so powerful or because the guards were too weak. In short, he successfully sneaked out of the window on the side of the hall.
Guo Fan leaned against the wall and eavesdropped. The plot here was a short animation in the game.
The wedding date was set one month later. Generally speaking, other than fighting with each other, it was very dull. It shouldn't be a big deal.
“Pa!”
The sound of cups and tables hitting each other could be heard in the hall, followed by a young girl's tender voice, “I'm not getting married!”
Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he heard a few loud shouts and powerful rhetorical questions. Everything happened at an unexpected speed.
“Bang!” The sound of the table being slammed could be heard.
Guo Fan saw that the window and the wall were shaking, and his facial expression changed.
Something was not right! This was different from the game... What's going on?!
Logically speaking, this place should be overly soothing!
Why did he look like he was going to start a fight?
When Guo Fan tried his best to calm his emotions, the hall had clearly fallen into chaos and tension. Ping-pong pong pong sounds and people's shouts could be heard continuously.
At this moment, Guo Fan could actually distinguish Gu Yaling's voice, which sounded like a kitten's.
“Ah!” She screamed in panic.
Guo Fan's pupils shrank. He subconsciously put his hand on the window. “Yaling!”
The moment he said it, he knew that things were not good. Cao Dong's face was extremely ugly in the hall. The veins on his forehead bulged. When he heard the sound, he suddenly turned his head to look at the window at the side. His eyes were fierce. A cold light flashed and he shouted, “Who is it?”
“Slap!”
At the same time, he suddenly flicked his sleeve. Another wave of Spiritual Qi blasted out and smashed into the wall. Even the wall and the window cracked open.
Dust and wood scattered in all directions, revealing Guo Fan's figure.
Cold sweat rolled down Guo Fan's forehead, and he let out a sigh of relief. If he had not immediately retreated a few steps, he would have been seriously injured by the Spiritual Energy.
Fuck, luckily I'm smart...
Then, he raised his head and saw a big hole in the wall. Everyone in the hall was looking at him.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him blankly.
It was even a little quiet.
At this moment, Guo Fan saw Gu Yaling's tearful but happy little face. He saw the gaze of the dignified old man, and saw the handsome young man forming seals with his hands towards him. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Fury and killing intent coexisted with each other.
Cao Dong!
Guo Fan recognized this NPC. He was the head disciple of the Wide Ocean Sect. In the game, he was considered a small boss in the storyline of newbies.
Cao Dong's eyes flashed and his spiritual sense swept over. He immediately knew that the young man eavesdropping outside the door was only a mortal... Mortal? Mortal!
He immediately sneered and said, “Good, good, good! What a good Frost River Manor! There is actually such a person who stole from a dog, die for me!”
Cao Dong had already formed the spell in his hand, and with a flick of his finger, a sword light appeared.
What happened was too fast. The sharp sword light cut through the air, producing an ear-piercing sound as it rushed towards Guo Fan at lightning speed!
The sword light in Guo Fan's eyes enlarged, but he could only stand stiffly on the spot. His hands and feet felt cold. This was a Foundation Establishing Stage!
How could he be a match for someone with such a small attribute? To the people in the manor, he was just a stranger who was staying in the manor. There was no way they could help him, not to mention that he had been discovered while eavesdropping!
It was a dead end...
Guo Fan even felt a sense of despair in his heart. The sword light was piercingly cold, and the aura of death was approaching him infinitely. He clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to give up. Was he going to die here?
However, at this moment, everyone heard a lovely cry coming from the chaos!
“You... It's you!”
Guo Fan followed the voice and turned his head around.
At this critical moment, the woman with the curtain hat suddenly stood up. She lifted half of the white veil and said excitedly.
In an instant, the others saw the stunning beauty under the white veil. It was a dreamlike face, but Guo Fan saw a shining pink max bar on top of her head!
Progress bar?
Guo Fan was stunned for a moment. Then, a wild joy that he had never experienced before surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but shout in his heart.
Damn it!
The page of the illustrated handbook, open it for me!
In an instant, the transparent panel opened up in front of his eyes, and in the dark grey card, the second character besides Gu Yaling was lit up. Card!

The sword light was almost within reach. Guo Fan wanted to shout in his heart -
Bring it all! Bring it all to me!
The card instantly turned into countless golden light spots, dozens of times more than Gu Yaling's. It was extremely dazzling and merged into Guo Fan's body!
