The autumn rain began to fall again.
"You want to join the Tianxia Society?"
Gu Yanying put down the documents in her hands and looked at Wu Huan from head to toe. Even though everyone in the Northern Region practiced martial arts, there were only a few who could break through the innate realm. Innate masters were still important talents, not to mention that he came from the south. He needed to be taken seriously and examined.
"Yes."
Wu Huan tried hard to calm himself down from the amazement, but he still couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful woman in the world. He thought that her beauty was the pinnacle of the human world, but even with the addition of deep affection, he had to admit the difference between the two.
Perhaps the word "beautiful" wasn't quite accurate anymore. Her body was also emitting a cruel and imposing aura. That ordinary long table seemed to have been raised to a height of tens of thousands of feet, and she was looking down from behind the table. Her cold and sharp eyes could see through one's heart, causing one to tremble.
Was this the prestige of the Tianxia Society's leader?
"Why?" Gu Yanying crossed her arms and leaned against the back of the chair.
"Because I admire the chivalrous deeds of the Hero King, and also to learn more profound martial arts."
These two reasons were very normal. Wu Huan lowered his head, hiding his thoughts.
"Oh? Then what kind of chivalrous deeds do you admire the most, and what kind of martial arts do you want to learn? "
Wu Huan couldn't help but be stunned. His anger when she was taken away appeared in his mind again. That was the "chivalrous deed" of Li Qingshan that left the deepest impression on him, and he was a dying man, why would he want to learn any martial arts?
He quickly racked his brains. Only with the identity of a member of the Tianxia Society could he naturally get close to Li Qingshan. If his identity was exposed before this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as he was thinking of what to say, Gu Yanying smiled slightly, "Which hall do you want to go to?"
"I'm just a martial artist, and I don't know much about the various halls. I just want to serve the Hero King!"
Wu Huan could no longer look into her eyes, and felt that every moment in front of her was torture.
"The Hero King is controlling the flood in the north."
"Then I'll go control the flood," Wu Huan immediately said.
"Okay, I agree to let you join the society. After the oath, you can leave immediately. Wu Huan!"
"Yes …" Wu Huan's throat choked and his heartbeat began to accelerate. "Guild Leader, my name is Wu Heng."
"Wu Huan, Wu Heng, aren't you being too careless with this fake name of yours? Your father is the Great Cave Master of the Southern Territory's 72 Caves, Wu Ming!"
Wu Huan felt as though he was struck by lightning, he forced himself to say, "I'm Cave Master Wu's distant nephew, Wu Heng."
Because when one filled in the information for joining the society, they had to write down the martial arts they practiced and had to be verified by professionals, so one's origins could not be faked. But the Wuzhi had many people and was not a large aristocratic family. They were also in the south of the Southern Border, thousands of miles away from here. The World Society Master had to deal with many affairs every day. How would he know such a small matter?
"Cave Master Wu has eight nephews, but none of them are called Wu Heng. As for distant relatives, with your martial arts skills, how could you be a nobody? You're here for one of the top ten beauties of the past, Nangong Wan 'er, right? I remember that you two were engaged back then. I didn't expect that you'd still come back for revenge after more than ten years. What kind of sure-kill move did you learn? "
Wu Huan's face was pale as if he had been stripped naked in broad daylight. He instinctively wanted to grab the murderous bone in his arms. If he couldn't kill Li Qingshan, then he could only kill the World Society Master in front of him.
"Follow the river outside the North Gate and you'll find him. Coincidentally, Nangong Wan 'er is also there."
Gu Yanying lowered her head again and continued to deal with official business.
"You're not going to kill me?"
"You're not my enemy. Why would I kill you? And I also feel that what he did was not right. You've worked hard for so many years, so you should at least give me a chance. " Gu Yanying didn't even look at him. "Since you don't sincerely want to join the World Society, then leave. I still have things to do!"
Wu Huan walked out of the door of the World Society with his entire body tensed. He didn't encounter even the slightest obstruction. In his heart, he was both glad and angry. He was glad that the other party was careless and angry that she didn't take him seriously.
"Hmph, you'll definitely regret it the moment I see Li Qingshan!"
Gu Yanying didn't take the small matter Just Now to heart. If Li Qingshan was so easily assassinated, he would have died many times over. All these years, he wandered around the world and almost stepped on all the traps that he could. Be it the Strange Poison Bewildering Array, the Sea of Fire, or the Mountain of Blades, none of them could do anything to him. Only then did he slowly stop playing around and focus on his work.
Actually, even if she didn't have the Encyclopedic Knowledge, she could easily see through Wu Huan's lies. Because all these years, her sensitivity to the Hot Wind Hell had improved by leaps and bounds. She didn't need to rely on any external force to attract the Hot Wind of Hell. If she returned to the Nine Prefectures, she would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck of the 《Illustrations of Naraka Scripture》.
After all, the laws in her world had been strictly maintained for sixteen years. This kind of experience couldn't be experienced in the Nine Prefectures. She was only a constable there. There might be differences in the size of the world, but there was no difference in this kind of experience.
As a result, the dignified and austere aura on her became even thicker. If the other party had ulterior motives, they would tremble in fear the moment they saw her. She also had a strange ability to see through the truth and distinguish between right and wrong.
Therefore, from the moment Wu Huan walked in, she knew that he wasn't here to join the World Society.
Of course, she didn't plan to use this assassination as an excuse for war. She stood up and walked to the window, looking towards the south. "Those fellows must be getting impatient!"
Over the past sixteen years, she had put her wisdom to good use on this land. She used the methods of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and agriculture. She established a grammar, innovated technology, opened up commerce, and improved crops.
Although the World Society didn't send troops to the south, the momentum it formed had already swept through the entire world, causing people's hearts to gradually shift. Not to mention the commoners, even the younger generation of the sects and aristocratic families had unknowingly and indirectly accepted part of the World Society's ideology.
This was all thanks to Martial Union. In order to deal with the invisible attack of the World Society, under the orders of Union Master Zhang Yuntian, the various sects and families unlocked a large number of martial arts secret manuals and circulated them among the people. Because if they didn't do this, all the people in the world who wanted to learn martial arts would run to the Northern Region.
However, doing so was in line with the ideology of the World Society, making it easier for the future unification. As for the young martial artists who were born in the commoner class, they naturally had a sense of gratitude towards the World Society.
This Union Master Zhang had also put in a lot of effort to restrain the aristocratic families and sects from plundering the commoners. He had also established a set of decent laws, almost doing whatever the World Society did. The current Martial Union was simply like a crude imitation of the World Society. The people of the martial arts world jokingly called him the number one spy sent by the World Society.
His personal position as the Union Master was rather stable. He didn't even seem like the Union Master anymore, but more like the ruler of a country. It had become a confrontation between two countries.
Now that the world was united, everyone was looking forward to the World Society heading south. She had already begun to order people to encroach on the south. If they waited another sixteen years, the world would be unified, and there wouldn't even be a need for war.
If the other party refused to accept the fate of defeat, they would definitely fight to the death. The war was imminent!
