Legend of Swordsman; Xiuhuan

Monitoring

In the middle of the day, Xiuhuan and Gu Ruyan entered Yannan city. Gu Ruyan's appearance had made suspicious the Swordsman of the Gu Clan who was guarding the city gate.

But with Xiuhuan's ingenious wits bribing the Guards, they were then welcome to enter. Only Xiuhuan's identity was examined, he reasoned that the veiled Swordsman next to him was the mayor's daughter Guangxi from where his Sect was located and they were on a mission to find high-talented disciples.

Gu Ruyan looked coldly at the Guard, as if he was the son of an arrogant rich man.

“Yannan city is pretty big too. Is it only the Gu Clan that rules this city?” xiuhuan asked, because he only saw the Gu Clan-robed Swordsman who was at the entrance gate of Yannan city.

“Yes, but I see this city is not as crowded as it used to be. This must have been Gu Lin who attracted high tribute to the residents of the city, so many chose to leave this city,” Gu Ruyan said sadly to see the condition of the city where he grew up.

“Yes, hopefully your young master succeeds in overthrowing his Uncle and he leads wisely and brings great change to this city of Yannan,” Xiuhuan said who looked here and there, look at the condition of the city.

Xiuhuan was thinking about the escape route, if for example he could not defeat the elder of the Yellow Bamboo Sect.

He did not want to die silly as well, considering that his hometown was also in Hua city being targeted by the Shadow Pavilion and several Clans and the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect from Yan Luo City.

“What will we do Mr Xiuhuan?” gu Ruyan asked puzzledly to see Xiuhuan taking her around the city of Yannan.

“I am studying the layout of this city, so that later when the fight does not involve civilian casualties,” Xiuhuan said that made Gu Ruyan amazed. Because Xiuhuan was still thinking about the fate of the citizens of this city, even though he himself was only tasked with confronting the elders of the Yellow Bamboo Sect at any cost, despite having to make great damage.

Not long after, they passed through the Lin Clan residence which had a fairly spacious yard with a seven-story building visible in the middle.

There were ten stage 100 Swordsmen standing guard at the entrance gate. One by one the people who entered were checked tightly. Maybe before this many intruders went in there. Given the Swordsmen Gu Yao's supporters often carried out guerrilla attacks to this Yannan city.

“Yan ... I've seen there are several buildings with the symbol of Clan Gu and this is the biggest one.” Xiuhuan pointed at the seven-story building. “Is this the main building of the Gu Clan?” xiuhuan asked curiously.

“Yes, yes Mr. Xiuhuan, while the other building was the residence of the elders,” said Gu Ruyan. “The Gu Clan predecessors built the residence of the elders in every corner of Yannan City, so that the city could be easily controlled. And also easy to detect enemy attacks that come attacking suddenly.”

Xiuhuan was very satisfied to hear Gu Ruyan's explanation. They then headed for the Kao Ji restaurant, which was the largest restaurant in Yannan city.

It just so happened to be past noon, the restaurant was a bit quiet now. There was only one entourage that made Gu Ruyan tensely look at him.

“Do you know them?” whispered Xiuhuan as he hugged her made the group stare cynically at them.

“The Yellow-robed one was Gu Xing the eldest son Gu Lin, who wore a black robe was Gu Wuxian the son of the first elder, the White Cloak was Gu Xiong, gu Xing's personal bodyguard and the beautiful woman were Gu Yue, Gu Xin's lover who was from the branch Clan. She had made the most use of her beauty to obtain resources from Gu Xing.”

Xiuhuan ordered food to the waiter. Before his order came, he stared unblinkingly at Gu Yue, which made Gu Xing's lover feel uneasy.

Gu Yue whispered something to Gu Xing's ear. Then Gu Xing glanced at Xiuhuan at a glance and swung his hand at Xiong who immediately stood up from his seat.

Gu Xiong approached Xiuhuan, feeling that he recognized the woman with red hanfu and the white face covering. Yet out of nowhere they met, then he looked at Xiuhuan.

“Hey, do you know who you are looking at?” gu Xiong complained as he took out his Spirit Sword.

“Beautiful woman surrounded by three men,” Xiuhuan said with a flat expression. He felt that Gu Xiong's question was weightless at all.

Gu Xiong frowned, only this time he met the Swordsman who did not recognize Gu Lin's eldest son who was famous for torturing people he did not like.

“That beautiful woman is the lover of young master Gu Xing stupid!” gu Xiong snapped furiously at Xiuhuan's attitude that was instead peeling before him.

“Not that young master of the Gu Clan was Gu Yao, since when his name changed to Gu Xing,” Xiuhuan said smilingly looking at Gu Yue, he ignored Gu Xiong who was holding back his anger which had reached the crown.

He was still waiting for instructions from Gu Xing so that he could beat Xiuhuan who had been arrogant before him.

Hearing Gu Yao's name, Gu Xing chuckled. “I have long forgotten the name of the loser, until you remind him back.” Gu Xing stopped eating his food, he stared intently at Xiuhuan. “Are you Assassin told to kill me?” he asked again with a murderous aura that was quite large.

Fortunately there were no other visitors there, except for the Waiters of Kao Ji restaurant who immediately moved away from there, being distressed by the murderous aura.

“Is this a children's game, using aura-auraan? or are you showing off that you've taken thousands of human lives?” Xiuhuan smiled sinisterly looking at Gu Xing.

Xiuhuan himself fortified himself and Gu Ruyan by using a murderous aura as well. Although it wasn't as strong as Gu Xing's, it was enough to compensate.

“Oo, you are Assassin, yes? Your killer aura is not too strong, because you work only to kill some targets that have been designated.” Gu Xing drank the tea pull on his glass. Then he said again, “I'll pay you five times as much as Gu Yao, but you'll have to kill him. How?”

“Hahahaha ..” Xiuhuan chuckled which made Gu Xiong wary, as the attitude shown by Xiuhuan was too calm and did not show a face of fear at all. “Gu Yao handed her woman to me. Are you willing to hand Gu Yue over to me?” Xiuhuan grinned, he was sure Gu Xing would reject her offer outright.

“You brash man!” yelled Gu Yue who instantly took out her Spirit Sword as well, she wanted to slash at Xiuhuan's face that had been unceasingly staring at him ever since.

Gu Xing pulled Gu Yue's hand so as not to act so recklessly. He believed Xiuhuan was an Assassin, so he wanted to pull Xiuhuan into his side.

In Gu Xing's current mind, if Xiuhuan was willing to join him. Then he wanted Xiuhuan to kill Gu Yao first and then kill his own father. So that he would be appointed the new Gu Clan Chief.
