Chapter 257: Could it be her?
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the woman.
Wow, it looks pretty good.
She was dressed in a snow-white dress, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, and her skin as white as snow. The veil made her appearance somewhat hazy, but her eyes were still clearly visible.
Those eyes were incredibly sharp.
She looked older than him, with the charm of a beautiful woman, but unlike Manager Liu of Yunxianglou, she wasn't mature to the point of being overly slender and juicy. Instead, she exuded a cool and dashing air.
Gu Heng thought to himself, this woman is not simple.
He had never seen such a beautiful yet sharp woman before, and she was definitely a cultivator! He was now considered a cultivator himself, and it seemed that cultivators could sense each other's "aura" to judge their cultivation level and strength.
The woman's aura was even more powerful than that of Elder Xiao, who was playing the flute on stage.
Jiang Lingyun was stunned.
Because she saw a hint of inquiry in the man's eyes.
Did he see her?
Her concealment techniques made it impossible for anyone other than a master of the same level to detect her; this was a characteristic of the "Divine Concealment Sword Technique" she practiced.
But this man clearly saw her; their eyes were already locked!
Jiang Lingyun was secretly alarmed, but quickly calmed down.
Gu Heng was looking at her, and she was also sizing him up. This man looked to be around twenty years old, with a very handsome face, even retaining a bit of a youthful charm. He was tall and slender, dressed neatly, and had a refined and scholarly air about him, but without any air of nobility. He seemed approachable.
But she didn't dare to underestimate it.
There was something about this man that she couldn't see through at all.
Is it some supreme being who has secluded himself in the mortal world?
"who are you?"
Gu Heng spoke.
"..."
Jiang Lingyun was unsure whether to answer, but the three women, who were engrossed in the music, were drawn over. They looked at the empty hall with some confusion.
"Young Master Gu, is this place occupied?"
Liu Yu asked, and three pairs of eyes looked behind Gu Heng.
It was quiet there, without a soul in sight. "Miss Liu, didn't you see? This isn't..."
When Gu Heng turned around, the masked woman had already disappeared.
He was stunned.
Huh? Where is a masked woman like me?
They just disappeared like that?
But after a moment, he shook his head: "It's okay, let's keep eating. I can't be the only one eating."
The food and drinks in front of us can't be allowed to get cold.
The three of them were so engrossed in listening to the flute that they didn't even touch their chopsticks.
On stage, Xiao Tang continued playing his flute, while the four of them ate and chatted below the stage. Gu Heng glanced around from time to time, knowing that he couldn't be mistaken; there really was a woman there just now!
But where has she gone now?
"Besides, she's wearing a veil, so she definitely doesn't want to reveal her true appearance," Gu Heng thought as he ate.
Moreover, how come none of the three girls noticed that there was an extra person?
Weird.
……
Jiang Lingyun returned to the riverbank and gazed at the Yanjiang Pavilion standing on the island, her eyes slightly darkening.
"In this Sun Flame Dynasty, there are two people who bear the karma of the Destiny Star, Elder Qianyin Valley is here, and there is also a powerful figure I have never seen before... How come so many powerful figures have suddenly appeared in such a small place?"
she murmured.
Not only that, but the young man in Yanjiang Pavilion was the one who made Jiang Lingyun feel something strong.
He is definitely not as simple as he appears to be at the "Supreme Saint Level One"!
He has a secret, and Jiang Lingyun feels that she should not easily pry into it, otherwise the consequences could be very serious.
Jiang Lingyun gazed intently at Yanjiang Pavilion one last time.
Then, back in the city, I randomly found a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and sat down to sip it slowly.
"Those three little girls...they're all quite talented?"
She tapped her forehead, deep in thought.
So, what did I learn just now?
First of all, besides the young man and Elder Xiao Tang of Qianyin Valley who was playing the flute on the stage, there were three rather young girls in the pavilion. They were all quite young, the youngest of whom still had a bit of childishness on her face, but their cultivation levels were not bad.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Jiang Lingyun saw everything clearly.
The three girls ranged in age from Nascent Soul to the first level of Soul Transformation.
Moreover, two of the women wielded swords. Their swords were both of the highest grade, and the youngest girl even used a quasi-emperor grade sword!
In this desolate and treacherous region on the eastern border, those two young girls were actually able to wield weapons of the Saint-grade and Quasi-Emperor grade, and even make the weapon spirits within the swords obedient...
Can't go wrong.
Those two are definitely rare and exceptionally talented women.
In fact, based on Jiang Lingyun's experience, the slightly older girl who used a Saint-grade weapon probably had better talent in the way of swordsmanship!
He's a top-notch prospect.
She believes her opinion is very authoritative.
After all, he was the sect leader of the "Number One Sword Sect in the World" and the undisputed number one swordsman in the world, so his judgment was undeniably sharp.
In particular, although she did not draw her sword, her aura seemed to be one with the sword at her waist. Moreover, judging from her breathing, it was steady and calm; few sword cultivators could maintain such a tranquil state of mind.
His cultivation level is only at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which is a bit low.
This place is remote and impoverished, with insufficient cultivation resources. If we take her to the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect and nurture her properly...
Wait, you've got the wrong idea!
"Tsk, what have I been thinking about again..."
Jiang Lingyun shook her head violently and gave a bitter smile.
Oh dear, I came here to find someone who can bear the karma of my destiny star, so why did I suddenly think of taking on disciples?
My love for talent is starting to take over again.
Jiang Lingyun recalled again that among the three girls, only one did not use a sword, and her cultivation level was at the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm...
That woman, it seems, was surnamed Liu.
Moreover, when Elder Xiao Tang played music on stage, the three of them had different feelings about the sound of the xiao. Only the girl surnamed Liu seemed to be deeply fascinated by music. Every melody seemed to draw her in and make her so intoxicated that she could not extricate herself.
"That Miss Liu seems to be practicing music and attaining enlightenment through sound."
Jiang Lingyun slowly sipped her tea, her eyes gradually narrowing.
Could it be that she carries the karma of the "Zhouyin Destiny Star"?
