Chapter 116 Chen Shuyu

I had just been pulled to the middle of the room by Ye Yang when Qing Ming's voice came from the door, "You're all busy! I'll come back later!"

"No need, no need, sit down and talk!" For the first time, I found the old codger Qing Ming a little adorable.

The girls from Liangjie Tang, while rowdy, wouldn't let me lose face in front of outsiders. While untying me, Lin Zhao said, "You, just eat your meal! Why do you have to perform some 'Kunlong Chu Hai' for us? Let me untie you."

"Kunlong Chu Hai" (Trapped Dragon Ascends the Sea) sounds impressive, but it's just a fancy name for "Dousuo Gong" (Shaking Skill). To put it bluntly, it's the skill of a kongmen zhongren (thief) to shake off ropes after being tied up.

For a kongmen master, shaking off the ropes is only a matter of seconds.

Qing Ming watched with a smile as I sat in the main seat before saying, "My master has arrived at the door. This is my master's visiting card."

Before I could get excited, Old Liu stood up. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go out and greet them."

Old Liu was anxious to go out and greet the person, but I walked out unhurriedly.

Old Liu anxiously urged me through telepathy, "Shopkeeper, can't you hurry up? You have to show that you are eager for talent and treat virtuous people with courtesy! Look at Cao Cao, he went out to greet celebrities with one foot bare. You..."

"What about me? Do I have to run out naked?" I glared at Old Liu and transmitted my thoughts, "I'm telling you, it's okay to seek talent, but I'm not thirsty. I'm telling you, you can't spoil the offering, lest you spoil it badly. I have to nip this in the bud."

Old Liu rolled his eyes in anger. "My little ancestor! I beg you, please take it easy! Don't nip the person away."

When I walked out the door, the first thing I saw was a young girl in black with her hair tied up, her eyes as bright as stars.

I don't know why, but the moment I met her eyes, I had the illusion that my gaze was sinking into the starry sky.

Fortunately, the other party didn't have any malice. Her eyes only made brief contact with mine before shifting to the side, but I broke out in a cold sweat.

I knew that if I continued to look into her eyes, it would probably be a contest of spiritual power between the two of us. I could feel that the other party's soul power was extremely strong. Even if I was a Wu Sect successor, I might not be her match.

I took another look at the other party. If the first time I saw her, she had the heroic bearing of a jianghu adventurer, this second, she had turned into a gentle and playful girl next door.

The same black clothes, yet they gave off different feelings on her!

Her image and temperament could change?

After my gaze passed over the other party's shoulder, I saw Qing Ming and a soul in green clothes standing side by side behind her.

She was Qing Ming's real master!

The other party clasped her fists and said, "Chen Shuyu has met the hall master!"

"Chen Shuyu?" I never expected that Qing Ming's master would be Chen Shuyu, who ranked third among the younger generation of practitioners!

Xue Yu Ling Xiao Bei Yan Gui, Liangjie Tang Qian Wu Ren Hui.

"Yu" refers to Chen Shuyu.

It is said that her cultivation level vaguely had a tendency to surpass Jun Jixue, but she avoided fighting Jun Jixue twice, which is why she ranked third.

Jun Jixue also said that because Chen Shuyu was a woman and ranked after him, he did not choose to actively challenge her. Otherwise, he would definitely test Chen Shuyu's cultivation level.

I couldn't help but ask in confusion, "May I ask, Miss Chen, this is..."

Chen Shuyu smiled, "Hall master, why not take a look at the contract between us first?"

Old Liu quickly brought out the contract we signed with Qing Tang. The signature at the bottom had actually become Chen Shuyu.

I couldn't help but think highly of Chen Shuyu again—her magical cultivation was still above Ye Yang and mine.

If she hadn't come, the name on the contract would never have changed. This alone was enough to prove that she was better than Ye Yang and me in magic.

Before I could speak, Chen Shuyu smiled and said, "I took the initiative to seek refuge with the hall master. Isn't the hall master going to invite me in for a seat?"

Only then did I react, "Please come in!"

When Chen Shuyu walked past Ye Yang, Ye Yang suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"

Chen Shuyu paused slightly and said, "Familiar people may not have met. Some deja vu comes from the previous life, and some comes from this life."

Ye Yang couldn't help but frown and stepped aside.

Out of curiosity, I sent a telepathic message to Ye Yang, "Have you met her before?"

Ye Yang replied, "I'm sure I haven't met her before today. However, she gives me a very familiar feeling!"

I glanced at Ye Yang, "Could it be your lover from a previous life? Pursuing your husband from another life, this plot is good!"

Ye Yang didn't retort for once, "No, I feel like I had a life-and-death experience with her."

My brows furrowed, "What did you do before you met me? Do you remember?"

Ye Yang's previous life was the Nine Coffin Taoist. The person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Nine Coffin Taoist could not be just the second-best in the jianghu.

I don't know how many times Ye Yang's soul has been reincarnated, but I'm sure of one thing, people may suddenly awaken some memories of their previous life, but they will never awaken the memories of the life before that.

If Chen Shuyu really had any interaction with Ye Yang, it was likely in this life.

And it was before Ye Yang met me.

Ye Yang only replied with three words: "I forgot!"
