Gu Xu soon discovered that he had thought too much.

Because Zhao Yan did not come to trouble him.

I saw this beautiful woman in red dismounting from her horse, pointing at the plaque above the door of the Exorcist Department with the shining red spear tip of "Yizhangwei", and said in a cold tone: "Chu Fengge, I, Zhao Yan, today

We have broken through the fifth realm, do you dare to come out and fight?"

Her volume is not loud.

But because she activated her true energy when she spoke, her voice could be clearly heard throughout the yamen.

After hearing her words, many officials and servants in the yamen put down their work and gathered in the open space outside the gate to watch the excitement.

After all, battles between monks in the fifth realm are not easy to see on weekdays.

What's more, Zhao Yan was considered a legend in Luojing City a few years ago. People are very curious about how powerful she will become after three years of training in the border guard army.

Chu Fengge did not appear immediately.

And Zhao Yan was not in a hurry.

She held the spear in her arms and leaned lazily against the statue of Shi Suanni at the door of the Exorcist Department, her expression calm and composed.

She and Chu Fengge were old rivals many years ago. The two had fought many times, each with their own victories and defeats.

Zhao Yan knew very well that Chu Fengge was keen on showing off his holiness in front of others and wanted to be the best in the world.

He will never refuse his challenge.

However, the first person to walk out of the yamen was Shangguan Jin.

She was still wearing a light-colored skirt, light makeup, and simple jewelry as usual.

Two young women stood together, one as strong as fire and the other as elegant as chrysanthemum, forming a pleasing landscape.

"You also want to challenge me?" After seeing Shangguan Jin's figure, Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.

In the past, Zhao Yan had fought against all the geniuses in the capital, so naturally she had also fought against Guan Jin. But every battle between the two would end with Shangguan Jin taking the initiative to admit defeat.

Zhao Yan felt that Shangguan Jin had been hiding his cultivation and never showed his full strength.

Therefore, even if she won the duel at that time, she would not be happy with it - it was like a long-awaited meal that suddenly went moldy in front of her.

"How is that possible?" After hearing her words, Shangguan Jin immediately lowered his head slightly and smiled sheepishly, "I am just a little fourth-level monk, how can I have the courage to challenge Sister Zhao who is as dazzling as the sun?

"I just want to give Brother Chu a word - because he didn't prepare a poem number in advance, so he is still asking others to help him write poems temporarily.

"Sister Zhao, you may have to wait here for a while."

Zhao Yan nodded lightly.

It is a well-known fact that Chu Fengge would nervously recite a poem before fighting someone, never repeating it every time.

However, according to Chu Fengge's character, even if the whole world now knows that his poem title was written with the help of his subordinates, he will never admit it in public.

"The so-called 'helping with words' is definitely a lie," Zhao Yan thought secretly in her heart. "This should be Shangguan Jin's own initiative. He wants to make Chu Fengge embarrassed in public and see his jokes. After all, the two of them are driving

They are sworn enemies in the Demon Division.

"Oh, what a scheming woman."

In Zhao Yan's opinion, if all the monks in the world are her "gun-sharpening stones", then Shangguan Jin must be the one she discards like a piece of shit - not only cannot she sharpen her guns, but it is also very painful to use.

…………

At the same time, in the library.

Chu Fengge came to Gu Xu, tried his best to put on a smile on his face, and said politely: "Fellow Daoist Gu, as the master of the 'Jinghong Brush', you are an extraordinary poet.

"Now there are people coming to the door of my exorcism department to provoke wantonly and disrespect the majesty of the yamen. As a genius of the exorcism department, I should stand up and assist the chief executive in maintaining order.

"So can you please help me write a poem to scare the other party and promote my authority as an exorcist?"

Hearing his words, Gu Xu silently complained in his heart: As expected of you, Chu Fengge, you can even speak so righteously about a prostitute for free!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu," Gu Xu said politely with a faint smile, "I'm currently drawing talisman seals, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find time to write poems for the time being-"

"——I have a 'Returning Pill' here," Chu Fengge interrupted him, and at the same time took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xu, "If you are willing to write a letter for me,

If you write a poem, this can be used as a reward for you."

"Returning to Truth" is the elixir that monks need when they climb to "Wangxiangtai" and break through the fourth realm. It can help monks stabilize their souls, digest their insights, and consolidate the connection between monks and their natal objects.

And its price is also very expensive, requiring 1,200 meritorious deeds to redeem it.

Of course, Gu Xu recently went to Daguguan, slaying demons along the way, killing "white ape", "temple ghost", "feathered man" and other ghosts, and earned a lot of merit, which he used to exchange for "Return to True Nature"

"Dan" can be said to be more than enough.

Not to mention that he now has an elixir workshop.

"This talisman is very important to me," Gu Xu declined politely again, "I need to complete it as soon as possible -"

"——I can help you pay off the debt for buying a house!" Chu Fengge took a deep breath and said seriously.

Chu Fengge has always been proud and arrogant, and rarely asks for help.

In particular, he is determined to be the best in the world and regards Gu Xu as a powerful enemy. For him, asking for help from his opponent is tantamount to surrendering in disguise.

Therefore, although he has been craving for the poems written by Gu Xu since the day he solved the case of Lu's murderous house, he has been trying his best to resist the temptation and defend his dignity.

But today, Chu Fengge finally couldn't restrain himself.

Because compared to Gu Xu, who only has cultivation in the third realm, Zhao Yan, who is in the fifth realm, is obviously an imminent threat.

Chu Fengge still clearly remembers the scene when he touched the "Sky Stone" when he was young and detected the third-grade vision "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze", which shocked the entire exorcism department.

Therefore, Luo Sishou took him to his side and trained him personally.

Everyone regards him as the future pillar of the Exorcism Department, and even think that he is expected to become a new generation of saints and powerful men in the Daqi Dynasty.

He was very popular in Luojing City, and he even walked with a swagger.

However, before Chu Fengge could enjoy enough of this life of being in the spotlight, Zhao Yan appeared.

This girl from Youzhou, who likes to wear dazzling red clothes, actually has the third-level qualification "Danfeng Chaoyang"!

Moreover, her style of doing things was even more arrogant than Chu Fengge's - one man and one gun, fighting from the south to the north of the city, determined to fight against the country's most talented people just to hone her marksmanship.

For many years, Chu Fengge has been resentful about this, feeling that Zhao Yan has stolen his limelight.

He felt that if there were no Zhao Yan, the applause, cheers, and the envy, awe, and adoration of others in Luo Jingcheng would all belong to him.

Zhao Yan's provocative act of coming to the Exorcist Department alone also successfully aroused Chu Fengge's competitive spirit.

He vowed to spare no effort to defeat her, dampen her arrogance, and let her know that he is the true number one genius of Daqi.

First of all, you must not lose in terms of momentum.

And in this world, is there anything that can be more powerful than the poems written by the owner of "Jinghong Pen"?

"Okay then," Gu Xu pondered for a moment and nodded, "Please bring me a piece of paper."

He originally didn't want to agree, but Chu Fengge was unexpectedly generous today and was actually willing to help him pay off his mortgage.

Upon hearing his words, Chu Fengge immediately took out a Xuelang note and handed it to him.

Maybe it's because he once served as Gu Xu's bodyguard in the Lu family's haunted house, or maybe because Gu Xu once acted as his boss in the trial of the "Review Pot" illusion.

Although Chu Fengge's current official position was one rank higher than Gu Xu's, he was not surprised when Gu Xu spoke to him in such a commanding tone. He even took it for granted and was used to it.

"You must be domineering and majestic," Chu Fengge rubbed his hands and said expectantly next to Gu Xu, "We must make that guy Zhao Yan realize that I, Chu Fengge, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Gu Xu thought for a while, then dipped his pen in ink and quickly wrote a poem on the paper.

His handwriting is smooth and free, like a dragon and a snake racing, and a luan flying and a phoenix flying.

Chu Fengge stood beside him blankly.

Seeing that Gu Xu had written a poem in such a short period of time, and thinking that his subordinates had been tossing for days and nights with no results, he couldn't help but secretly cursed in his heart: What a bunch of waste!

After Gu Xu stopped writing, Chu Fengge took the Xuelang note and read the poem written on it silently several times. The more he read, the more excited he became. It seemed that his whole person's emotions were aflame.

He felt that all the previous works written by his subordinates could be thrown into the garbage heap - compared with this poem, they were simply as big as heaven and earth.

He could not help but imagine what kind of expression Zhao Yan would have on her face when she heard this poem.

However, although Chu Fengge was feeling very excited at this time, he still kept a straight face and tried to control the expression on his face, not wanting to show too much excitement in front of Gu Xu.

After all, it was extremely difficult for him to put down his dignity and ask Gu Xu for help in writing poems.

Recognize the excellence of your opponent?

Do you open your mouth to praise your opponent for writing a good poem?

Impossible!

This is simply making things difficult for him, Chu Fengge!

So, when Chu Fengge firmly remembered this poem in his mind and could recite it backwards and forwards, he strode out of the library, not wanting to stay beside Gu Xu for a moment longer.

…………

After a while, Zhao Yan finally saw Chu Fengge’s figure outside the exorcism department’s office——
