A Peerless Beauty
"I didn't expect Qin Yuyan to be Qin Tianyu's daughter!" Chu Xingyun entered the Reincarnation Stone, still feeling incredulous.
He was no stranger to Qin Tianyu. From a certain point of view, Qin Tianyu was his benefactor.
Back then, after Chu Xingyun left West Wind City, he and Shui Liu Xiang wandered in the Liuyun Dynasty, living a life of hardship.
One day, when they entered the Imperial City, they were violently expelled by the Imperial Army and suffered serious injuries. At that time, the Qin Family's caravan happened to pass by. Qin Tianyu saw that they were pitiful and casually saved them, even giving them some silver to let them leave safely.
In Qin Tianyu's eyes, this matter might be an insignificant matter, but Chu Xingyun remembered it in his heart and swore to repay Qin Tianyu and the Qin Family a hundred times in the future.
However, the sky was full of unforeseen circumstances.
Not long after this matter, the situation in the Imperial City changed greatly. As a giant of the Chamber of Commerce, the Qin Family was tragically assassinated. Many of the Qin Family members, including Qin Tianyu, disappeared that night.
Three days later, someone found their corpses in the wilderness. All of them died miserably, their heads separated from their bodies.
After Qin Tianyu died, his younger brother, Qin Tianfeng, inherited the position of Patriarch of the Qin Family. Since then, the Qin Family went into decline, becoming tyrannical and ruthless, despised by everyone.
"The Qin family is one of the giants in the Driftcloud Empire. They are extremely powerful, so it's basically impossible for them to be wiped out in a single night. Moreover, so many people from the Qin family died that night, yet only Qin Tianfeng survived. It's very difficult for people not to be suspicious."
Chu Xingyun had also secretly investigated this matter back then and was very suspicious of Qin Tianfeng. Unfortunately, too much time had passed, and there were no clues to be found. Over time, it completely disappeared in the long river of history.
According to the current time, a storm would soon arise in the Imperial City, and the Qin Clan would soon be implicated. He didn't want to see the tragedy of the Qin Clan again, so he reminded Qin Yuyan, hoping that she would be vigilant.
As for whether the mastermind behind the tragedy was Qin Tianfeng or not, Chu Xingyun would secretly investigate after arriving at the Imperial City in order to repay Qin Tianyu's kindness to him back then.
After thinking about this for a while, Chu Xingyun collected his thoughts and entered a state of cultivation. He did not want to waste any opportunity to increase his strength.
On this day, the starlight in the sky gradually dissipated, and a wisp of white appeared on the eastern horizon.
Chu Xingyun opened his eyes and felt comfortable all over. He stood up, tidied up his clothes, and strode out of the courtyard.
Today was the day that the Martial House selection would begin. At the same time, it was also the day that the one year agreement between him and Shui Qianyue would come to an end.
…
The blazing sun rose, and the scorching hot sunlight shone on the ground, enveloping the ancient city of Heishui.
There were many pavilions in the city, and the magnificent buildings appeared majestic under the sunlight. Long bluestone streets extended to the same place, where there was a huge martial arts arena. Behind the arena, there was a magnificent grandstand.
At this moment, there were already countless people waiting in the grandstand.
Among these people, there were some who were locals of Heishui City, but there were even more people who came from other cities. They gathered here, wanting to witness the liveliness of the Martial House selection with their own eyes.
Xiu! Xiu!
Xiu! Xiu! At this moment, a group of silhouettes flickered in the distance, causing the crowd's gaze to freeze. Those silhouettes were all wearing standard robes with exquisite carvings, showing that they were full of vitality.
"The Soaring Heaven Martial House has arrived. This time, the representative of the Soaring Heaven Martial House is actually Grandmaster Yang Yan. If one is selected by him, one will definitely become a great figure in the Liuyun Dynasty in the future." Many people revealed expressions of excitement, and their gazes towards Yang Yan were mixed with a hint of passion and excitement.
"The Dreamy Cloud Martial House is also here, and their representative is Gu Qingsong. It seems like the Dreamy Cloud Martial House also has high expectations for this year's Martial House selection."
"Jialan Martial House, Blue Wind Martial House, and Purple Sun Martial House. The five great Martial Houses are finally all here." The crowd repeatedly exclaimed. It was obvious that this was the first time they had seen the five great Martial Houses together, and even more so, it was the first time they had seen so many experts.
The representatives of the five great Martial Houses landed at the front of the grandstand. They first looked at the crowd, then slowly sat down.
On the side of the Dreamy Cloud Martial House, a middle-aged man wearing green clothes stood upright. He had a pair of triangular eyes, and his cheeks were thin. He looked somewhat similar to a fox.
This person's name was Gu Qingsong, and he was the Elder of the Dreamy Cloud Martial House. At the same time, he was also the host of this year's Martial House selection.
He faced the crowd and calmly said, "Today, those who are below the age of twenty and have a cultivation level above the eighth layer of Tempered Body can participate in this year's selection. Now, those who meet the requirements, quickly come up to the stage."
Just as he finished speaking, many people immediately rushed up. However, even more people sighed. Below the age of twenty and at the eighth layer of Tempered Body, the difficulty of this year's Martial House selection had increased by a lot.
"Isn't that Lin Chuan? He is the number one genius of Blue Crystal City. It is said that he is already at the second layer of Spirit Gathering Realm. Moreover, he has the third layer of Blue Tiger Wu Ling. He is an extraordinary person. "
"Ye Xunfeng, almost eighteen years old. Although he has just stepped into the Spirit Gathering Realm, he has learned a Middle Spirit Level Sword Art. When he stabs out with his sword, it is illusory and formless. There is a high chance that he will be selected by the Martial House."
"That is our Heishui City's number one genius, Su Qingrou. She is only seventeen years old, and she is at the second layer of Spirit Gathering Realm. She has the third layer of Wind Butterfly Wu Ling. With her talent and cultivation level, it is almost certain that she will be selected."
The crowd's gazes fell on these famous geniuses. The sound of discussion rose and fell, causing the atmosphere to become noisy. There was a hint of excitement.
At this moment, Shui Qianyue's silhouette stood up from the spectator stand. Abruptly, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
West Wind City's number one genius and number one beauty. She was at the third layer of Spirit Gathering Realm, and she was at the fourth layer of Black Water Spirit Fox Wu Ling. This beautiful girl possessed too much glory. It was enough for everyone to look up to her.
Shui Qianyue enjoyed the crowd's gazes. She walked gracefully, her long black hair fluttering in the wind. Her face was beautiful. Even if it was a frown or a smile, it was enough to make people's hearts beat faster.
"A peerless beauty, a monstrous genius!" Many people let out heartfelt sighs. This girl's appearance was outstanding, and her talent was unparalleled. It was likely that the first place would fall into her hands.
Under the crowd's gaze, Shui Qianyue stood casually on the stage. It was as if everyone's gazes, including the sun's rays, were focused on her body.
"Chu Xingyun, that year, you made a promise that you would let me know who was the real toad in the gutter during the Martial House Selection. Now, I have already stepped onto the stage. Why are you still hiding below? Could it be that you are afraid?"
