The sword-bearing man couldn't help but coldly snort upon seeing this, knowing without needing to be told that this was what everyone thought.
Truly a bunch of scoundrels, not even sparing innocent children!
"Alright, alright, Sword Saint, no need to take it to heart. Everyone was just speaking without thinking. After all, those are things of the past, why bother dwelling on them?"
At this moment, Yuwen Hui, from a top-tier aristocratic family, stepped forward to mediate. He looked down on Tang Yi, but they dared not underestimate this Sword Saint. Not only was he powerful, but his swordsmanship was unparalleled in its lethality. More importantly, he had a reclusive master whose strength was even greater than his own. These aristocratic families were unwilling to offend him easily.
The Green Shirt sword cultivator youth merely flicked his sleeves and ignored them.
The first thing that caught Jiang Xuan's eye was a jade foot encased in a light purple stocking. Well, saying light purple stocking wasn't entirely accurate, because the long stocking was connected to the shoe. Moreover, as the jade foot stepped out, it was clear that it was a gradient color.
As the jade foot stood firmly in the living room, the woman's figure also fell into Jiang Xuan's eyes, making him forget to breathe for a moment.
The woman's face was like a painting, her eyes like water, her lips cherry-pink, and there was a sun-like mark on her brow, though it was half-covered by deep red bangs.
Her deep red hair was tied behind her head, and the stray hairs on both sides were braided. She wore a leather neck guard, and a long dress mainly in purple, but only the right side had a single sleeve, and she wore a white hand guard on her hand.
The upper left part of the dress was white, with a distinct color contrast to the purple on the right. Her bare shoulders shimmered with delicate, radiant white light, and her slender jade hands made it hard to imagine that she was a woman proficient in archery, while also highlighting her remarkable talent.
Her slender waist was cinched by a tight leather waist guard, and beneath the skirt, a pair of jade legs wrapped in gradient light purple shoes and socks were faintly visible.
The moment Jiang Xuan truly saw his dream walk into reality, his mind went blank, his eyes filled with amazement and admiration. It was simply a gift from the Creator.
While Jiang Xuan was stunned, Galo, who had arrived in another world, was also taken aback, because this place seemed completely different from the world she was in. Although she had only glanced at it, Galo had noticed many differences.
That glowing thing that looked like a lamp, made of who-knows-what, was exceptionally bright despite not being supported by arcane power. And that white thing that stood there like a cabinet, constantly emitting cold air, also made Galo feel puzzled.
However, after a moment of surprise, Galo steadied her mind and turned her gaze to the seemingly weak young man in front of her.
Although Galo felt that the arcane power within her body had been sealed after entering this world, in Galo's view, even without arcane power, she could take down the young man in front of her within three moves.
Despite being somewhat puzzled as to why such a powerful being would invite her to meet this man, Galo smiled gently upon seeing the fruits placed on the glass table in front of her and took the initiative to speak.
"Hello, my name is Dugu Galo, and I am a scholar. You can also call me Galo!"
Awakened by Galo's heavenly voice, Jiang Xuan finally came back to his senses, flustered and somewhat at a loss, he replied.
"Hello, hello, um, my name is Jiang Xuan."
It wasn't Jiang Xuan's fault. After all, he was a homebody. Originally, the blind dates that should have started after graduation never happened because no one cared.
In addition, Jiang Xuan didn't lack money. He did live streaming purely because he had nothing to do, and he was more open to chatting with people online, so he became a streamer.
As for real-life interactions, he could handle ordinary conversations, but he didn't know how to chat with girls or flirt with them at all.
Looking at the somewhat flustered 'pure' young man, Galo couldn't help but smile gently. Her curved eyebrows made Jiang Xuan even more dazed.
Observing Jiang Xuan's reaction, a realization suddenly flashed through Galo's mind. After pursing her lips, she said with a light smile.
"Since Young Master Jiang invited me to be a guest, wouldn't you invite me to take a seat?"
"Ah? Oh, um, please sit, please sit."
After Jiang Xuan reacted, his face instantly turned red, so embarrassed that he almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment, well, although he had quite a few at home.
As Galo took the initiative to sit down next to him, she once again carefully looked around, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips.
As an archer, Galo's observation skills were naturally beyond doubt. Whether it was the newly cleaned house, the fresh and recently cut fruits on the table, or the white mysterious arcane device cabinet that hadn't been used for a long time but was opened today, they were all telling the story of what had happened during the half hour she had been waiting.
"Um, Galo, have some fruit."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Jiang!"
Compared to the somewhat awkward Jiang Xuan, Galo's response was much more generous and appropriate. Seeing that Jiang Xuan didn't seem to know how to start, Galo took the initiative to ask.
"Young Master Jiang, Galo has some doubts in her heart, I wonder if Young Master Jiang could answer them for me?"
"Um, ask away, I'll try my best to answer."
Perhaps it was Galo's generosity that gradually relaxed Jiang Xuan, and he wasn't as nervous when he spoke.
"Also, don't call me Young Master Jiang, just call me Jiang Xuan."
"Alright, Jiang Xuan, what is that white cabinet? Is it some special arcane device? It can actually release cold air to cool down."
Galo smiled lightly, pointing to the space air conditioner placed in the corner of the living room. Jiang Xuan turned his head to take a look, and his brows furrowed. Seeing this, Galo quickly said.
"If it's inconvenient, then pretend I didn't ask."
"Um, it's nothing like that, wait for me to think about it."
Jiang Xuan quickly replied upon hearing this, then scratched his head and began to think. Galo didn't urge him, but waited patiently, while also observing Jiang Xuan.
"This thing, we call it an air conditioner here, the full name is air conditioner, it can use electricity to adjust the temperature, humidity, etc. of the air. Now that the weather is hot, I can use it to lower the temperature."
"Electricity? Is it lightning?"
Galo's eyes showed a hint of shock, and then, her eyes showed even more interest. She even took the initiative to get up and examine the air conditioner.
This special device is different from all the arcane devices Galo has ever seen.
"Lightning is a kind of electricity, I don't really understand it either."
Jiang Xuan walked to Galo's side, but when he spoke, his eyes always unconsciously glanced at Galo standing next to him.
Gentle, elegant, intellectual, wise...
"Interesting device, and this light on top, is it also so bright because of the electricity you mentioned?"
Galo curiously looked at everything in the living room. In her opinion, these were all so peculiar, each one was something that the King's Continent did not have. Jiang Xuan followed behind Galo, occasionally explaining a few words.
There were a total of four options, but Jiang Xuan didn't pay much attention to the last two options at all. Even the recommendation index behind the Hai Yue option had two, one of which was even an asterisk, he didn't notice.
After the Little Sprite gave the first option, Jiang Xuan's attention was on the first option.
Galo, she is his goddess, the goddess in his dreams, independent, self-reliant, strong, decisive, intellectual, gentle, wise...
The cold and beautiful appearance, and the melancholic temperament, the mature figure, are just a bonus.
"Little Sprite, I choose one, Galo... wait!"
Just after making the decision, Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, and asked with some excitement and trepidation in his heart.
"Right, Little Sprite, is it, after I make a choice, will you directly summon Galo over?"
"Honorable master, the Little Sprite has already sent an invitation to Lady Galo on your behalf, and has already received a reply. If you are ready, the Little Sprite will help you open the dual-portal and invite Lady Galo to come to your world."
Jiang Xuan had a sentence of 'what the heck' in his heart that he didn't know whether to say or not. He had just made a choice, and this pit-like Little Sprite had directly sent the invitation. Fortunately, Galo didn't refuse.
Of course, besides Galo, Jiang Xuan didn't actually plan to invite anyone else. However, the little sprite acted too quickly, catching Jiang Xuan off guard.
"Uh, wait a moment, let me tidy up the room!"
Actually, Jiang Xuan's room wasn't very messy. He was a bit of a neat freak himself, cleaning every few days.
It's just that he hadn't thrown away the takeout from earlier, hadn't shaved, uh, his hair was a bit messy, his clothes didn't seem to fit very well, and the living room didn't seem to be cleaned either...
An hour later, Jiang Xuan had cleaned the room, the living room, even the rarely used kitchen, and the bathroom.
Looking at the clean and tidy one-bedroom apartment, Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, took a cool shower, changed into some presentable clothes, dried his hair, and prepared some fruit on the coffee table in the living room before summoning the little sprite in his mind.
"Little sprite, please invite Galo over."
"Okay, Master, constructing a traversal channel for Lady Galo, please wait a moment!"
King of Glory Continent, Thousand Caves City.
In Galo's boudoir, today was the day when Thousand Caves City held its study tour. As the young city lord and a famous talented woman, Galo spent the day exchanging cultures with scholars from various study tours and recording many things from outside the clouds in books.
For Thousand Caves City, books are the most sublime ideal.
Although books are just paper, they can record civilization. Even if books are easily damaged, even if only a few words can be left behind, they will be the wealth they leave to future generations.
Because of the records in books, history is dyed with an ancient yellow mark; because of the records in books, civilization exudes a soothing fragrance of ink.
Although today was tiring, and she didn't even have time to practice archery, Galo didn't feel unhappy. Instead, she felt a sense of fulfillment and happiness.
After closing the written book, a happy smile flashed across Galo's somewhat tired face, and she whispered to herself.
"I can finally collect books into the Thousand Caves like my father!"
Not any book can be placed in the stone caves of Thousand Caves City at will. Only those precious books can be placed inside.
And the book that Galo recorded this time is about Jixia. Jixia Academy is the most prestigious academy in the entire King of Glory Continent. Naturally, records about it can be collected into the Thousand Caves and become a collection of Thousand Caves City.
"I didn't expect Jixia Academy to be so powerful, and there are records of the magic of time and space, which can be called a miracle. I really hope to see the power of the magic of time and space one day. It must be very shocking!"
Galo's eyes showed a bit of longing. As the young city lord of Thousand Caves City, Galo can be said to be knowledgeable, but the more she knows, the more she feels her ignorance. Therefore, Galo is very curious about many novel knowledge.
After solemnly writing 'Dugu Galo' on the cover of the book, Galo got up and stretched her waist gracefully, and suddenly, the perfect curve was revealed.
However, this is Galo's boudoir, and naturally no outsiders can appreciate such scenery.
Although Galo has an outgoing personality, being outgoing and being dissolute are two different things. She can laugh and talk with other men about the wonders of the King of Glory Continent, but she will never take any improper actions, let alone behave dissolutely.
The virtue of a woman is the duty of every woman, and it is also a woman's respect and love for herself, just like birds can spread their wings and fly, but birds will also cherish their wings.
Galo, who had just gotten up to wash up and was about to rest, suddenly stiffened, her Dai Eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were filled with vigilance as she looked around.
Just now, Galo heard a voice in her mind, which made Galo subconsciously vigilant. After all, this is her boudoir. Unless it is her husband, no man can enter, and even her father has not been near her boudoir for many years.
However, the vigilance on Galo's face disappeared in the next moment, and her eyes even showed a bit of surprise, because Galo could sense that there was a strong power of time and space magic surrounding her.
After hesitating for a while, Galo still chose to agree, not only because she was curious about how magical the magic of time and space, which even the genius student Zhuge Liang of Jixia had not cultivated, was.
Another reason is that the voice just told her that if she is willing to accept the invitation, she can get a special power, the ancient witchcraft recorded in ancient books.
