Chapter 17: The Jianghu
_With a soft “thud,” invisible True Qi collided, and a gust of wild wind ruffled the young man’s hair.
The old man narrowed his eyes, staring at Gu Shiyi with a smile. “A seventeen-year-old martial master at the peak of the Seventh Rank has been rare since ancient times. The Third Young Master would like to make friends with you.”
_Lu Jianjia hurriedly looked at Gu Shiyi.
_His indifferent expression revealed nothing.
_”You… don’t believe him…”
_The old man smiled with confidence. “Anything the young lady can do, the Third Young Master can do just as well.
_As for that young girl, the Third Young Master can also save her, and even return her to you right away.”
_”Impossible! General Yun… The person Brother Yun wants, unless he returns her on his own initiative, even the Crown Prince or a princess couldn’t get her back! Not to mention my Third Brother isn’t close with Brother Yun…”
_Lu Jianjia hurriedly refuted, but the old man’s smiling, calm and unhurried demeanor caused Lu Jianjia’s heart to sink to the bottom.
_She felt she had been too anxious; his eloquent, confident manner made him much more convincing.
_The old man smiled frankly and said:
_”In addition to helping you get that young girl back, the Third Young Master will also offer a vast fortune. The Third Young Master does not wish for you to submit to him as a guard or the like, but rather wants to make friends with you.”
