"I heard that Li Ping has been in seclusion some time ago, but I didn't expect that he has broken through to the second level of the Yuan Dan realm."
"I heard that Mr. Gu is in the early stage of the Dan Condensation Realm. If Li Ping wants to touch him, it will be easy."
"Yes, leading an entire realm, this is simply a killing!"
Many guests were stunned when they saw this.
This is the birthday venue for Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for Li Ping to make such a fuss.
However, they were well-informed and knew that Li Ping was not impulsive, but had the tacit approval and even support of the second prince.
After all, the alignment between the royal ministers and the major aristocratic families is not unknown to outsiders.
"Li Ping! Today is my princess' birthday. You represent the entire Li family. It's best not to mess around."
When Xiao Hongchen saw that Li Ping actually dared to show off his power here, a trace of anger appeared in his eyebrows.
Not only was she angry, she was also worried about Gu Jian's safety.
After all, Li Ping is not only the number one genius of the Li family, but also a man of the hour in Tianxing Academy.
He was one of the top masters in the outer court of Tianxing Academy five or six years ago. After breaking through the Yuan Dan realm and entering the inner court, he also gained a great reputation and was even expected to enter the inner court before leaving the academy.
Although Gu Jian was also a genius in swordsmanship and was able to cut off Pang Shun's arm in the posture of a rabbit kicking an eagle, but that was because Pang Shun was careless and the latter's martial arts skills as an alchemy master were slack.
But Li Ping is different. His reputation is all earned through fighting. Gu Jian will not be his opponent.
This is going to be troublesome.
"Your Royal Highness, Li Ping wishes you a happy birthday on behalf of the Li family. But Gu Jian killed my brother. This is an ironclad fact. As an elder brother, I cannot tolerate being in the same room with him without taking any action!"
Li Ping argued vigorously.
"I must kill him today. Even if you want to punish me afterwards, I will have no complaints!"
He originally wanted to break up with Gu Jian, and with the second prince supporting him, why should he be afraid of Xiao Hongchen?
"You, you are so nice! You don't even give me the face of this princess!"
Xiao Hongchen was furious.
"Come here! Li Ping..."
"Your Highness, please wait."
Just when Xiao Hongchen was about to order someone to drag Li Ping out, Gu Jian interrupted.
"Gu Jian, do you want it?"
Seeing Gu Jian standing up, how could Xiao Hongchen not guess what he was going to do, and opened his mouth slightly.
"Your Highness, if my personal grudges with others affect the holding of your birthday banquet, I will feel deeply guilty. So I accept his provocation and will kill him to keep the banquet quiet."
Gu Jian spoke calmly.
How could he live to this day without knowing that Li Ping's actions were tacitly approved by the second prince?
After all, no matter how talented Li Ping is, he would not dare not to give face to the princess on such an occasion, unless the supporters behind him are not afraid of the princess at all.
Don't you just want to kill yourself?
I just killed six Blood Rain Pavilion killers, and even my blood is still boiling. It’s just right to kill you too!
"Gu Jian, don't be impulsive. Li Ping is not Pang Shun. He is very strong."
Xiao Hongchen saw that Gu Jian was acting impulsively, so he sincerely advised him.
"Little sister, killing someone to pay for life is a matter of course. What Mr. Li did was moral. What's more, Mr. Gu said he would resolve this personal grudge. I think it's better for outsiders like us not to get involved."
The second young master He Yunyi smiled and said.
"Second brother, you..."
Xiao Hongchen was very helpless.
If Gu Jian had not said these words, she could still refute, but how should she defend now?
Xiao Hongchen could only turn his gaze to the eldest prince Xiao Heng who was sitting in his seat.
"Little sister, although Mr. Gu is only at the early stage of the Condensation Realm, he said that he wants to kill Li Ping, who is at the second level of the Yuan Dan Realm. This is really unbelievable. But ask yourself, if Mr. Gu is really a fool who overestimates his abilities, how can he
How could he, with his status and background, appear on such an occasion today?"
Xiao Heng asked with a profound expression.
In fact, he was 60% sure about Gu Jian. Firstly, he seemed to be unable to see through Gu Jian, and secondly, it was because he believed in his little sister's vision and would never appreciate a fool.
As for the other 40%, what if there really are such idiots in the world who don’t overestimate their abilities?
"Brother, how come you..." Xiao Hongchen didn't know what to say.
But what Xiao Heng said makes sense.
She has known Gu Jian for more than half a month, and he has accomplished everything she thought he couldn't do.
It seems that nothing is impossible for this person.
"Gu Jian, are you really sure?" Xiao Hongchen finally looked at Gu Jian and asked seriously.
"Don't worry, since I dare to stand up, I am absolutely confident."
Gu Jian said calmly.
"Okay, then I believe you. But don't let anything happen to you, you know?"
Xiao Hongchen nodded, the first half of the sentence was quite pertinent, and the second half was whispered softly.
She was really worried about Gu Jian.
"Know."
Gu Jian has a good ear and said firmly.
After the words fell, he stood up, left his seat, and walked to Li Ping.
"Gu Jian, you little turtle finally dared to come out from behind Her Highness the Princess."
Li Ping said in a sarcastic tone.
The news of the failed assassination attempt at Blood Rain Pavilion was only reported back after Li Ping left the Li family, so he didn't know that Gu Jian had single-handedly killed six local assassins.
If he knew, I don't know whether he would dare to trouble Gu Jian, but he would definitely not be so arrogant.
"Your brother has been down there for so long. He must be very lonely. I will send you down to stay with him today."
Gu Jian said with a cold tone.
After the words fell, all the guests in the audience took a deep breath.
This mouth is too sharp!
"Okay! Very good! Gu Jian, you actually have the nerve to mention my brother. Today I will avenge him!"
Li Ping said murderously.
He had a good relationship with his younger brother Li Ming, but the latter died in Qingshan City while in seclusion.
And the murderer turned out to be just an outcast from a small family, like an ant.
How could he not be angry?!
As one of the four great families in the capital, the Li family has not been so humiliated for a long time!
Today, Ye Chen is going to fight to the death with him, and Li Ping feels that this is a great opportunity given to him by God.
A chance for revenge!
"If you want to fight, then fight. Today, it's not certain who will live or die between you and me!"
Gu Jian spoke calmly.
Stupid!
The next moment, a huge sword as thick as a mountain appeared in Gu Jian's hand.
"The best real sword!"
"How can Gu Jian, a guy from a small town, have a top-level real sword?!"
Many guests were surprised.
They were all dignitaries in the city, so they were not surprised by real swords, but what was strange was that Gu Jian, a country bumpkin, had the best real sword.
After all, no matter how high Gu Jian's achievements are, he can't change his humble background!
"That real sword looks familiar. It seems to be the giant sword ranked tenth in the "Record of Famous Swords of the Stars: Real Swords"!"
someone exclaimed.
"Ju Que! Wait, isn't the Ju Que in the hands of the sword cultivator named Mo Lang, who is number 10 on the outer court list of Tianxing Academy? How could it appear in Gu Jian's hands?"
