Chapter 61 Wudang (3)

“How have you been, Senior Brother Gu Yang!”
Ye Qing appeared the moment they arrived at Wudang Mountain.
Gu Yang Jie suppressed a hollow laugh as Ye Qing greeted him like a close friend.
‘Could he really not know I spared him back then?’
Glancing at Xian Jian Jinren just in case, he saw the latter shake his head slightly.
‘He didn’t tell him.’
Gu Yang Jie sighed deeply inwardly. But he didn’t forget to clasp his fists firmly.
“Quite some time has passed since the Nine Dragons Great Battle, hasn’t it?”
“Haha, back then it was so hot my robes were practically soaked through. Now the weather is cool and pleasant.”
He then sent a subtle glance, as if suggesting a sparring match.
When Gu Yangji looked back at Xian Jianjin again, this time he shook his head emphatically.
-Give me a break!
-I think Ye Qing Dou will request the sparring first…
-Couldn’t you just give him a fair fight then?
At that, Gu Yangji stroked his chin with his left hand. He reconsidered, but it still didn’t feel right.
In fact, if he went easy now and later revealed his true skill, Ye Qing would likely be deeply disappointed.
After a brief explanation, Xian Jianjin nodded, seeming to accept it was unavoidable.
But he left a parting request.
-Win cleanly, even if you do win. I’ll treat you well if you do.
-Seems you still want to reap the benefits of having fought me evenly at the Nine Dragons Tournament.
-……I won’t deny it.
Still calculating, still self-serving.
Then again, with someone like Xian Jianjin around, isn’t it no wonder the Wudang Sect has long held sway and survived?
