I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 265: The Number One in the World Sit Across From Me

Chapter 265: The Number One Under Heaven Sitting Opposite Me

Jiang Lingyun silently repeated Gu Heng's name in her heart.

Jiang Lingyun had never seen or heard of such a person, but she wasn't too surprised. Although there weren't many unknown experts in the world, there were still some. Their cultivation had reached a point where they couldn't go any further for a long time, so they were no longer as passionate as they were in their youth. Therefore, they chose to live in seclusion. Whether they lived in a valley or in the city, they didn't want their names to spread too widely.

So the person in front of me is probably like that.

Jiang Lingyun's mind raced, and she understood.

"Since we've just started dating, let's not address each other by our given names. Everyone else calls me Young Master Gu, so you can do the same."

Gu Heng said, "Very well, very well..."

Jiang Lingyun wasn't too concerned about the form of address; whether it was "young master" or not didn't matter to her. The only thing she cared about right now was Jian Xuan's whereabouts and his current situation.

More than two thousand years have passed, and now that it has been lost and regained, it is within reach. The only obstacle is perhaps the young master Gu in front of her, whom she cannot see through and does not know whether he is stronger or weaker than her.

If what Su Jinxi said is true.

So it was this Young Master Gu who saved Jian Xuan, who only had a wisp of a soul left.

She had to repay such a life-saving grace, no matter the cost; anything was fine as long as her elder could be brought back.

"Does Young Master Gu reside within the Riyan Dynasty?"

"Yes, but I'm not some big shot. I just run a clinic and treat ordinary people casually. I have little connection with cultivators... like you."

Gu Heng shook his head after speaking. The woman before him was, without a doubt, a cultivator.

Although Gu Heng had no ability to distinguish who was a cultivator, he had a gut feeling about it, and he often believed that his intuition was correct.

When Jiang Lingyun didn't deny it, he knew he had guessed correctly.

"So, Miss Jiang, what brings you here?"

Seeing a pot of tea on the table, Gu Heng simply poured himself a cup of water and slowly began to drink it.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyun paused, her expression slightly composed, and said, "There are some important matters to attend to."

Gu Heng paused, glanced at her, and said calmly, "Of course, I'm not interested in your affairs. I'm just curious why you're doing this so secretly."

"..." Jiang Lingyun remained silent.

"Speaking of which, I have no idea what Miss Jiang does." "You haven't heard of me?"

Now it was Jiang Lingyun's turn to be surprised.

Those younger generations would generally not have heard of the name "Jiang Lingyun," but rather her title "Saint of Ten Thousand Swords."

For example, Su Jinxi, that little female cat, had no idea of ​​the name "Ten Thousand Swords Saint Venerable".

But this young master Gu's cultivation level is very likely no lower than hers, and he might even be older than her. When Jiang Lingyun was young, she was known as the number one prodigy, and so was her name.

Now that Jiang Lingyun is the head of a sect and has not shown her face in public for over two thousand years, few people can remember her name.

But he had never heard of it?

Or have you heard of it but forgotten it now?

"Shouldn't I have heard of it?" Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.

This woman, who just moments ago seemed like a thief, now exudes arrogance, as if it's wrong of her not to have heard of her.

Jiang Lingyun closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, she was much calmer.

"I am the sect master of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect. You should have heard of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, right?"

Jiang Lingyun said it directly.

"Oh, the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, I thought..."

Gu Heng put down his teacup with a smile, but suddenly his smile froze.

and many more.

Did he just hear something terrifying?

Gu Heng slowly raised his eyes and saw Jiang Lingyun's cherry lips closed, with only a slight upturn at the corners. It was as if she were saying, "So you've heard of me."

His eye twitched unconsciously.

The woman in front of him, who was so young and whose face looked no older than his own, was none other than the "Saint of Ten Thousand Swords," whose reputation had never diminished and who was known as the number one human in the world.

The sect leader at the seventh level of the Saintly Realm seems to have the highest cultivation level among humans.

Gu Heng knew that the place he lived in was actually very remote, and he was just an ordinary person. But even so, he had heard of Jiang Lingyun's title, and he even thought that one day he could also have a title that was praised by thousands of people...

Then there's the person he's been envious of for so long.

Right in front of me?

Why is Young Master Gu suddenly speechless?

Jiang Lingyun brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and asked with a smile.

How interesting. She had initially thought that Young Master Gu would be a composed and worldly person, but now, upon hearing her title, he seemed rather... bewildered?

"...Ahem! I'm just curious, Sect Leader Jiang's sect is quite far from here, isn't it?"

Gu Heng gave a dry laugh.

He tried to remain calm, but it wasn't easy.

Because the young lady in front of you is actually the number one sword cultivator in the world who has lived for thousands of years and could possibly wipe out the entire Sunflame Dynasty with just her will!

What about him?

A rotten fish and shrimp.

Of course, Gu Heng wasn't worried about what Jiang Lingyun might do to him, because he had a "temporary experience voucher" from the system, which allowed him to have any cultivation level he wanted for a quarter of an hour.

Therefore, if Jiang Zongzhu were to take his verbal offense to heart, Gu Heng would still be able to handle it.

If he uses another coupon and possesses the highest level of Sainthood cultivation (Tenth Level), he could even kill Jiang Lingyun within a quarter of an hour.

But that would be a bit stupid.

If he kills the number one in the world, then others will praise him as the "number one in the world," and then Gu Heng, a mere mortal, will be able to successfully ascend to this "throne" that can pierce through your buttocks.

Experience vouchers are limited.

There are nine more.

Without sustained cultivation, he could never hold onto that throne. Sooner or later, he would be exposed, and as a notorious "fat pig" with no cultivation whatsoever, he would only end up being slaughtered.

Therefore, Gu Heng only hoped that Sect Leader Jiang would not pursue the matter of his offensive words.

Judging from her expression, she seems quite happy when she smiles. There shouldn't be any major problems.
