"Who is it?" Zhou Yunting shouted as she frowned.
"Haha …" The person outside pushed open the door and walked in.
This person had handsome facial features. Although he was not tall, he was well-proportioned. He wore a feather cloak, a crown of stars on his head, and carried an ancient sword on his back. His actions gave off a graceful and elegant air.
However, his eyes flickered with a cold light, giving off an overwhelming sharpness. When this person's gaze swept past them, Zhou Yu and the others felt their faces heat up. They could not help lowering their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Even Zhou Yunting, who was somewhat bold and bold, instinctively lowered her head.
Under the pressure of that person's aura, the group of people sitting around even stood up.
Only Gao Zhengyang and Yuan Zhen remained seated, not moving.
To Gao Zhengyang, the other party's aura was nothing more than a cool breeze. Yuan Zhen was focused on eating. Although he felt that something was wrong, he could not bear to put down his food.
"Ye Liuyun, what are you trying to do?" Zhou Yunting shouted angrily, her face flushing red.
Ye Liuyun ignored Zhou Yunting. His gaze landed on the seated Gao Zhengyang. "Monk, you look unfamiliar. How should I address you?"
Ye Liuyun's question was rather rude. However, he had a carefree bearing, not giving off the impression that he was rude and overbearing.
"This humble monk is Gao Zhengyang," Gao Zhengyang replied with a calm expression, not seeming to feel the other party's overbearing aura.
"It's this monk …" Shi Xuantong and the others followed in from outside and pointed at Gao Zhengyang.
Ye Liuyun waved his hand, indicating for Shi Xuantong and the others to remain silent. Then, he continued, "Monk, this junior brother of mine is young and inexperienced, but it is not up to an outsider to lecture him."
After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, Gao Zhengyang still did not react. This made Ye Liuyun somewhat angry. This monk is too arrogant.
"Monk, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Ye Liuyun's expression turned cold as he questioned.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned tense.
Zhou Yu and the others could not help holding their breaths. Zhou Yunting wanted to speak, but she was suppressed by Ye Liuyun's aura. She could not breathe evenly, so how could she have the strength to speak?
Even Yuan Zhen turned nervous. She chewed on a piece of candied plum as she stared at Ye Liuyun with widened eyes, clenching her fists tightly.
His thoughts were very simple. If the other party dared to make a move, then he would not be polite.
"Explain what?" Gao Zhengyang asked with a smile.
Ye Liuyun was even more furious when he saw how calm he was.
A wild monk who came out of nowhere dared to put on airs in front of him. How reckless.
Ye Liuyun's expression sank slightly. He really admired this monk. Regardless of whether it was the way he spoke or the way he carried himself, they were all extraordinary and left a deep impression on others.
Unfortunately, the monk and Zhou Yu's relationship had violated his taboo. Naturally, he couldn't be polite anymore. However, with his status, he did not want to make a move casually.
He said indifferently, "Monk, I see that you are an interesting person, so I won't bully you. Kowtow and apologize to my Junior Brother. Leave Tianyue City within three days and I'll let this matter go. "
Ye Liuyun felt that he was quite generous. If it was someone else, he would definitely beat them up and make them stay in bed for the rest of their lives. Letting the monk leave safely was already a form of cherishing talent for him.
Shi Xuantong, who was behind, felt somewhat indignant as he muttered, "This is too easy on this bald donkey …"
Zhou Yu was so angry that his hands trembled. However, he did not have the confidence to speak, so he could only tremble.
"Ye Liuyun, don't be too arrogant." Zhou Yunting was much stronger than Zhou Yu. She shouted loudly, "Goku is a guest of my Zhou Family. Let's see who dares to touch him!"
Fang Wenxiu did not say anything. She quietly walked beside Gao Zhengyang, her small hand tightly gripping the hilt of the short sword at her waist. She felt that all this had happened because of her, so she was determined to stand side by side with Gao Zhengyang and tide over this difficult time.
Ye Liuyun smiled at Zhou Yunting in a reserved manner. "You are not qualified to talk to me."
Zhou Yunting had a fiery temper. How could she admit defeat? Just as she was about to continue arguing, Ye Liuyun secretly formed a sword art in his sleeve. His powerful martial soul transformed into a sword intent that fell on Zhou Yunting's body, blocking all the words she wanted to say.
Zhou Yunting's small face turned red and purple. However, she was not as strong as him. Her martial soul was firmly suppressed by the sword intent. She could not even stand steadily, so how could she have the strength to speak?
On the side, Zhou Yu gathered his courage and was about to speak when Ye Liuyun suddenly said, "If you ask for trouble, I will strip off your clothes and throw you into the hall."
Zhou Yu's face turned pale. If that happened, it would be too embarrassing. Logically speaking, Ye Liuyun would not dare to be so presumptuous, but looking at Ye Liuyun's cold eyes, Zhou Yu did not have the courage to try.
He hesitated for a moment and did not dare to speak in the end.
Zhou Yu's useless appearance made Zhou Yunting half die of anger. She fiercely glared at Zhou Yu and inwardly scolded her brother for being an embroidered pillow.
Zhou Yu also did not understand. It was just a monk they met by chance. It did not matter if he died. Why was his sister so excited? He lowered his head and no longer looked at his sister.
On the other hand, Ye Liuyun somewhat understood. Wukong's grace was extraordinary. Zhou Yunting had fallen in love with him, so she protected him with all her heart.
Ye Liuyun could not help but laugh. He turned to Gao Zhengyang and said, "My patience is limited. Don't make me change my mind."
Gao Zhengyang had been watching the show from the side. Ye Liuyun did not have any clever methods. He completely used his sixth rank strength to suppress the Zhou siblings. He used his strength to suppress others.
On the other hand, Ye Liuyun had such a great advantage, so he did not need to use other methods.
Gao Zhengyang stood up and leisurely said, "I will borrow a word from Benefactor. You are not qualified to say these things to this poor monk."
When Gao Zhengyang moved, it was as if something invisible had been torn, and a tearing sound could be heard.
Ye Liuyun's eyes narrowed. The sword intent that he had locked onto everyone was casually broken by Gao Zhengyang.
In terms of strength, the other party was at least not inferior to him.
"I was careless …" Ye Liuyun originally thought that Gao Zhengyang had a fifth rank cultivation base and would be able to steadily defeat the other party. He did not expect that Gao Zhengyang was much stronger than he had guessed.
Ye Liuyun's reaction was also fast. At this point, he naturally could not retreat anymore. He pulled out his sword with a backhand. The cold sword light was like mercury spilling on the ground, instantly drowning everyone.
The bone-piercing cold sword energy made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They only felt their blood freeze, and even their bodies seemed to be frozen.
Under the crisscrossing sword energy, it seemed like they would be killed at any time. The fear of death caused everyone to panic. But their eyes were filled with sword light. Even if they wanted to hide, there was nowhere to hide.
Just when they were at a loss, a slender and powerful palm suddenly appeared in the sword light.
The palm slightly drew a circle, as if it was going to take something.
The crisscrossing sword light that filled the room suddenly retracted and turned into a silver sword. The front of the sword edge was being held by Gao Zhengyang with one hand.
The silver sword edge kept twisting like a snake, but it could not escape from Gao Zhengyang's grasp.
Ye Liuyun's crane cloak fluttered and flew backward.
Shi Xuantong and the others who were standing behind him were constantly pushed back by the surging Yuan Qi.
Shi Xuantong and the others were aghast. That monk was actually so strong that even Senior Brother Ye seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Zhou Yu, Zhou Yunting, and the others were also shocked. No matter how highly they thought of Gao Zhengyang, they did not expect that Gao Zhengyang could suppress Ye Liuyun.
"It's a good sword. What a pity."
As Gao Zhengyang sighed softly, cracks appeared on the edge of the sword that looked like a silver snake twisting. Then, it collapsed soundlessly, shattered into thousands of pieces, and scattered on the ground.
The Flying Cloud Sword was like Ye Liuyun's lifeblood. When the sword suddenly shattered, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses.
"You, you …" Ye Liuyun was flustered and exasperated. He pointed at Gao Zhengyang and cried out involuntarily. His handsome face was distorted, looking quite ferocious and terrifying.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and withdrew his hand. He looked at Ye Liuyun without saying a word.
Ye Liuyun also quickly calmed down and realized that he had lost his composure. In the short exchange just now, he had not been able to see through Gao Zhengyang's strength, and the Flying Cloud Sword had already been shattered.
It was a very simple reason. Even with a sword in hand, he could not withstand one move, let alone the sword being shattered.
Ye Liuyun's martial arts were all on the sword. Without the sword, he only had thirty to forty percent of his combat strength left. Although he hated Gao Zhengyang to the core, he did not dare to attack again.
"I admit defeat this time. Let's go." Ye Liuyun also made a decision. He said a few words and turned to leave.
Ye Liuyun was now very afraid that Gao Zhengyang would make him stay, so he also kowtowed and apologized. Even if he could kill Gao Zhengyang in the future, he would not be able to wash away this shame. Therefore, he left without any qualms.
Shi Xuantong and the others were still in a daze. When Ye Liuyun left the room, they realized that something was wrong and rushed out of the door.
Zhou Yu, Fang Wenxiu, and the others were all dumbfounded by their sorry state.
Zhou Yunting was the most clear-headed among them. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Why are these fellows like stray dogs? They ran so fast …"
She turned to Gao Zhengyang and said, "Master, you are too polite to them. You should make them kneel and apologize. "
Zhou Yunting had been suppressed by Ye Liuyun's sword intent to the point that she could not speak. Ye Liuyun had also deliberately humiliated Gao Zhengyang, which made her feel even more hurt. She felt indignant on Gao Zhengyang's behalf that Gao Zhengyang had let them go so easily. She felt that Gao Zhengyang was too magnanimous.
"Do unto others what you would not have them do unto you," Gao Zhengyang said this golden maxim with the air of an eminent monk.
The East Continent also had Confucianism. They cultivated righteousness and practiced the Spring and Autumn Swordsmanship. In terms of Confucian classics, there was a huge difference from the Confucianism of Gao Zhengyang's previous life.
The benevolence and forgiveness contained in this maxim were similar to Buddhism. As a famous maxim that had been passed down for thousands of years, this maxim contained a profound and simple principle of being a person.
It could be said that this maxim was universal. Even in this world, it was still an irrefutable truth.
Zhou Yu, Zhou Yunting, and the others were all students of Four Seasons Academy. Although they were young, they had a good foundation in words. He immediately understood the meaning behind it.
"Master is so virtuous. This Zhou admires you." Zhou Yu was sincerely convinced and bowed deeply.
Zhou Yunting's eyes sparkled. The admiration in her heart was hard to conceal.
Fang Wenxiu was also very excited. Her face was as bright as a peach blossom. She did not care about her classmate's loss of composure.
Wu Taoqiang smiled apologetically, occasionally sneaking glances at Zhou Yunting and Fang Wenxiu. He looked gloomy.
"Senior Brother, what you said sounds profound and logical …" Yuan Zhen was also surprised. Gao Zhengyang normally spoke very casually. This Gao Zhengyang felt somewhat unfamiliar to Yuan Zhen.
Gao Zhengyang rubbed Yuan Zhen's head and smiled mysteriously. He thought to himself, Senior Brother is putting on a show, but I can't explain this to you.
Shi Xuantong and Ye Liuyun, the two mountains that had been pressing down on him, had been pushed down by Gao Zhengyang. Zhou Yu felt an indescribable sense of comfort and joy in his heart. It was as if he was drunk and felt like he was floating.
After the guests and hosts were seated again, Zhou Yu showed his generosity and told the attendants to prepare a good banquet.
When the dishes were served, Zhou Yunting suddenly said, "The Master admires Liu Qingge very much. Go and call Liu Qingge over to play a song for the Master."
The attendant felt somewhat troubled. "Master Liu rarely comes out to entertain guests."
Zhou Yu's earlier performance was poor, so he was in a rush to regain face and make it up to Gao Zhengyang. Zhou Yu slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you! Call your manager over!"
"Seventh Brother, why are you so angry?" a youth asked with a smile as he walked in with large strides.
This person wore silver scale armor and had a sword hanging at his waist. His facial features were somewhat similar to Zhou Yu's, but he appeared more courageous and heroic.
Zhou Yu blushed at this person's words. He quickly stood up and greeted, "Third Brother, you are here."
Zhou Yu quickly introduced, "Third Brother, this is the Heavenly Horse Temple's esteemed monk, Great Master Wukong."
Then, he introduced to Gao Zhengyang, "This is my Third Brother, Zhou Bo, the current commander of the Featherwood Guard."
Zhou Bo found this somewhat strange. Zhou Yu rarely introduced a companion so seriously and addressed him as a great master. Zhou Bo had never heard of the Heavenly Horse Temple, and Gao Zhengyang looked to be in his twenties. Addressing him as a great master was somewhat comical.
However, the other party's bearing and graceful bearing were indeed like the clear moon and cool breeze, inspiring admiration.
As if sensing Zhou Bo's confusion, Zhou Yunting hurriedly said, "Third Brother, you are a step too late. Ye Liuyun brought Shi Xuan to bully others just now, but the great master beat him away. Even his sword was shattered by the great master, haha … "
Zhou Bo's gaze shifted to the shiny sword shard in the middle of the floor. Zhou Yunting had deliberately stayed behind to show Zhou Bo that the attendants were cleaning up.
Although Zhou Bo was calm, the look in his eyes also changed. Even Ye Liuyun's sword had been shattered. This monk was truly capable.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bo smiled and cupped his hands at Gao Zhengyang. "Greetings, Great Master Wukong."
Gao Zhengyang put his palms together and returned the greeting. "Commander Zhou is too polite."
Zhou Bolang laughed. "What commander? It's just a sesame-sized official position. People will laugh at me if I tell them."
"Come, come, everyone, sit." Zhou Bo gestured for everyone to take a seat. He sat at the head of the table, next to Gao Zhengyang.
Zhou Yunting said coquettishly, "Third Brother, the great master admires Liu Qingge's zither skills. Call her over to play a few songs …"
Zhou Bo laughed. "Madam Liu is no ordinary person. Third Brother really doesn't have the face to invite her."
"She's just a zither player …" Zhou Yunting didn't think much of it.
Zhou Bo shook his head. Liu Qingge's background was very complicated and not someone they could provoke.
As they spoke, someone knocked on the door. A soft and mellow voice said, "Qingge has taken the liberty to visit. Please don't take offense."
