Chapter 512: OK, fine
Zhu Jiu learned all of the above from Chu Yi, Yue Shangxian, Gu Yixiao, and Baihe, especially Chu Yi.
Zhu Jiu's soul has been out of her body these days. In order to prevent Chu Yi from knowing that she is the ghost who beat him up, she has been using the excuse of being in seclusion to avoid seeing anyone, even the waxing moon.
No one knew where Chu Yi's coldness and arrogance had gone. He would chatter to her every day in messages, and if she said a few harsh words, he would get so angry that he would threaten Xiao Zhenzhu.
Zhu Jiu could only: OK, fine.
Lily is not an easy person to deal with either. She turns into a rebellious girl and interrupts Zhu Jiu and Gu Yixiao every time they communicate.
As for Wenren Sejue, after the last Red Lotus incident, he didn't seem to be embarrassed anymore.
He often set up some formations and left photos and sent messages to Zhu Jiu for guidance. However, he was rather casual and often had his clothes in disarray in the caves, always accidentally revealing half of his face, part of his waist, and his bare shoulders and chest when he bent over.
As a teacher, Zhu Jiu put aside his past grudges and taught until late at night every time.
The waxing moon is more restrained, and is only thinking about putting itself into Zhu Jiu's mouth. The daily question is: Do you want to drink blood?
Zhu Jiu didn't know who was addicted for a moment, and almost thought that being bitten felt good, so he found an opportunity to get into the body and bite himself, and was shocked to find that it hurt when the skin was bitten.
She quickly licked it twice and the wound healed.
At this time, Zhu Jiu cast an invisibility spell and walked leisurely through the bustling first area. Even those in the Mahayana stage could not find her - except for special humans, such as Chu Yi, Wenren Sejue, and Yue Shangxian.
Zhu Jiu firmly believed that it would be impossible for the Yangyang First District to encounter these three by chance.
Which good person doesn’t practice every minute on the eve of a war?
Zhu Jiu first went to the deserted entrance of the First Building to pay her respects. To express her sympathy for the end of glory, she said "Pooh".
She turned around and saw an elegant and handsome young man staring at her. He was gentle and polite, and his movements were slow and well-controlled.
His bone age is no more than a hundred years, and he is at the fusion stage. Judging from his aura and the dazzling spiritual treasure, as well as the people guarding him, this young man is most likely a true disciple of someone.
Zhu Jiu: “?”
Is her invisibility skill so weak?
He soon discovered that this was not the case. He was looking at the woman on the other side through Zhu Jiu's now transparent body.
Zhu Jiu looked over and raised his eyebrows. It looked like an acquaintance.
So this young man is the true descendant of a certain family who is madly in love with Gu Yixiao?
The guardian elder beside the boy had a stern face, and felt like the kind of stubborn old man who would throw a test paper with 99 points in the face of a child and scold him for getting one point less.
Zhu Jiu looked at the old man's face, and a shameful desire to conquer him arose in his heart.
Hehehe, she likes to educate the old man with iron fist the most.
The old man didn't know that a pair of perverted eyes were looking at him, and he sneered at the young cricket and smiled.
"Lingyun, you are an upper-class and serious swordsman. You will have great potential in the future. You will definitely be the leader of swordsmen in the future. Just focus on practicing swordsmanship and don't worry about your success or failure at the moment."
"Gu Yixiao defeated you with his four hands, and this is only a once in his life. What's more, you have made a breakthrough this time. For the reputation of Qiankun Temple, you must defeat that low-class corpse herder this time!"
Zhu Jiu's eyebrows twitched, so this young man was the chief disciple of Qiankun Temple, Gu Lingyun.
He doesn't look like a sword cultivator at all, but more like a Confucian cultivator.
After hearing the words of the guardian elder, Gu Lingyun's eyes flickered, but he did not respond.
Gu Lingyun's guardian elder, referred to as Elder Gu, spoke without reservation. A cultivator has sharp ears and eyes, especially when his own name is involved. Gu Yixiao turned his head and looked over.
Elder Gu snorted coldly, showing great disdain.
Instead, Gu Lingyun pursed his lips and smiled at Gu Yixiao. Unfortunately, Gu Yixiao just glanced at them and then looked away. He didn't pay any attention to them at all, and naturally didn't catch the boy's smile.
There was a flash of frustration in Gu Lingyun's eyes. In his ears, he could still hear Elder Gu's endless teachings, which were nothing but the same old clichés. He was really tired of hearing them since he was a child.
He seemed to be listening attentively, but turned around and sighed. It was obvious that what the monks were pursuing was transcendence and the removal of the shackles of mortals, but the sect master and elders spontaneously put shackles on themselves and divided the methods of cultivation into high and low, good and bad. He really didn't understand.
Unfortunately, his experience has taught him that refutation is useless. The clan leader or elders will only make him kneel in the clan hall and give him a more severe and rigid reprimand until he "realizes" his mistakes.
Gu Lingyun has developed a good habit of just listening without interrupting, so after the elders have finished talking, everything will be fine.
He actually doesn't like practicing swordsmanship. He prefers magic and Confucianism. However, these two things are not "noble" enough in the eyes of the sect. How can a chief disciple major in these?
Gu Lingyun knew that he could not resist and wanted to suffer less, so he never showed any interest in this regard and practiced sword skills step by step according to the rules.
He had known Gu Yixiao's name for a long time, as they had met each other several times when they were young.
When they were a few years old, the sect arranged a marriage for the two of them, but later Gu Yixiao's parents betrayed the sect and never showed up again.
Every time Gu Lingyun was nagged to the point of his limit, he would think of Gu Yixiao's parents, and sometimes he wanted to rebel, but unfortunately he didn't want to prove his courage and determination.
Firstly, the clan leader is his mother, and he has always grown up surrounded by resources. He has never suffered any hardship, and he does not have the ambition to resist.
Secondly, he felt that this was a difficult matter, as he was basically making an enemy of the entire sect. His current strength was not enough to shake the sect's iron laws.
He could only admire Gu Yixiao's parents, and often fantasized that they would succeed, return gloriously on a sunny afternoon, slap the entire sect in the face and liberate them, so that he could also benefit from it, abandon the damn sword, and do what he likes.
Well... I came back, but became Gu Yixiao’s corpse shepherd.
Gu Lingyun was greatly shocked. He never expected that the other party could do this. He also didn't expect that Gu Yixiao would dare to accept the challenge of his junior sisters and brothers.
The first thing Gu Lingyun did was... pretend to go into seclusion and hide himself.
After all, he was the chief disciple and had the highest strength among the disciples. He thought that after he hid himself, the pressure on Gu Yixiao to embarrass the sect would be much less.
When the time comes, just avoid the main issue and make a casual publicity like this, eh, it'll be done. I hope this incident can give a little shock to my own sect, so that they don't force him to practice sword all day long.
If he wasn't afraid of being discovered and having the opposite effect, he would have wanted to put some laxatives in the spiritual energy so that his junior sisters and brothers would be unable to take care of themselves during the battle and regrettably lose.
But the facts proved that he still underestimated Gu Yixiao. The other party was indeed strong and beat all his junior sisters and brothers in a fair fight.
Gu Lingyun was extremely surprised when he saw this situation.
He thought that it was time to show up at this moment, to become the last stepping stone for Gu Yixiao to defeat, to push the opponent's unstoppable sweeping momentum to the peak, and to let the sect see a method of cultivation that leaves no one useless.
The sect leader and elders knew his level, so Gu Lingyun didn't dare to let him off, and the other party didn't need him to let him off either.
After a fierce battle, the two ended in a draw, and the matter finally came to an end.
The effect he expected was indeed achieved. The people in the sect were very unbelievable. The person had been knocked flying.
Gu Lingyun felt satisfied but also a little disappointed. It seemed that Gu Yixiao had no impression of him anymore.
When they were young, they would sneak into the tea garden to steal tea while the adults were talking. The tea trees were tall, and they had a hard time picking two small handfuls. When they came out and saw the disciples guarding the garden, they were scared out of their wits.
There are many rules in the Qiankun Temple. If you are caught stealing, you will be punished, even if the two are only seven or eight years old.
Gu Lingyun was just about to snatch the tea from Gu Yixiao's hand and pretend that he had stolen it all, but the latter was quicker than him. He grabbed two handfuls of tea and stuffed them into his mouth, then swallowed it all down his throat.
The pretty girl rolled her eyes in choking, while Gu Lingyun was so shocked at such a young age.
The disciple guarding the garden came over and found nothing unusual, so the two left safely. Gu Yixiao raised his head proudly and said, "Humph, I am so smart!"
This time both of them escaped punishment.
Gu Lingyun, who was still very honest at that time, admired him very much and praised him continuously.
When Gu Lingyun thought of this, the faint smile on his lips deepened, and even his eyes were filled with nostalgia.
The smile was somewhat sweet and shy. Elder Gu thought the other party was ashamed and nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Lingyun is respectful and obedient, never disobeys, and is also qualified to be the chief disciple in terms of strength. He has always been the pride of the sect.
Gu Lingyun didn't notice, still immersed in the glittering memories.
Gu Yixiao has been popular since she was a child because she is so beautiful. She is not as dull as him, but has a cheerful and lively personality. The disciples of the sect always like to take her out to play and buy her all kinds of interesting gadgets.
Because she was young and cute, the elders rarely made things difficult for her.
According to the picture book, she is the sect's most beloved darling, and the brightest color in the solemn and austere sect.
Gu Lingyun rarely had the chance to get close to her. Most of the time he could only watch her smile from afar, and then smile along with her unconsciously.
Less than a year later, his mother happily announced that she had arranged a marriage for Gu Yixiao with her parents, and that Gu Yixiao would be his Taoist partner in the future.
Gu Lingyun was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Being precocious, he had already understood what his fellow Taoist meant, and his heart was overwhelmed with great joy.
Unfortunately, as the world changed, the Qiankun Temple no longer had that beautiful scenery, and the sky remained a dull blue overcast for decades.
Until she appeared again.
……
Zhu Jiu watched Elder Gu and Gu Lingyun talking and listening, and heard a teasing voice in his ear, "Little Junior Sister, did you see that? You are ignoring the facts and being stubborn. This is called being stubborn. Don't learn this."
The person who spoke was a female cultivator in colorful sleeves and wide robes. She was tall, with a pure and clean face, a bit of baby fat and a red dot on her forehead, which made her look even more lovely.
Zhu Jiu recognized this person. She was Ye Liuli, the chief disciple of Penglai Fairy Island. Chu Yi had mentioned her a few times in the past few days, saying that Ye Liuli was as energetic as a bull every day, noisy and talkative, and often wandered around the streets with her junior sisters and brothers. Once they met her, they would be unable to get away for half an hour.
Zhu Jiu took a look and saw that Ye Liuli was indeed followed by many white-robed monks, all led by her. They were holding the hands of a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she was young, her cleverness and intelligence were evident in her looks.
She is Xi Lingyi, the new disciple of Penglai Fairy Island.
After hearing what the senior sister said, Xi Lingyi looked at Elder Gu who had an unpleasant expression on his face and Gu Lingyun who was smiling at her, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should respond.
She and Gu Lingyun are acquaintances. The latter is considered half her master and has given her a lot of guidance when she was down and out.
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
I don't know how many times this scene has been played out.
As expected, Elder Gu glanced at Ye Liuli from the corner of his eyes, raised his chin and said to Gu Lingyun: "We in Qiankun Holy Temple have strict upbringing, respecting the elders and loving the young. Don't learn from some lazy monks who do nothing all day and waste precious time on causing trouble and making trouble."
Ye Liuli snorted coldly: "Junior sister, do you know that there is a kind of old peacock in the world, who is arrogant and complacent, and will not look people in the eye, with his tail and wings spread, thinking that he is the most sober person in the world, but he doesn't know that his red butt is exposed behind him."
Xi Lingyi: “…”
Elder Gu was a very handsome man. He was praised wherever he went. He had never been treated like a peacock before. He was immediately irritated. He turned around and shot Ye Liuli with a gaze like a sharp sword. "Stinky girl, who do you say is the peacock?"
Ye Liuli put her hands on her waist and laughed: "Hey, hey, the old peacock has turned back, why is he so ugly?"
Elder Gu could lecture until midnight without repeating himself, but he could not scold Ye Liuli as much as she did. He pointed at Ye Liuli and called her “you you you”. If she did not have a guardian elder behind her, he would have taught her a lesson long ago.
Ye Liuli didn't let him go and continued to sneer at him.
It's quite strange that a true disciple can argue with the elders of other sects.
Zhu Jiu had heard Chu Yi talk about the grievances and love-hate relationship between the two sides.
Elder Gu is a man who likes to be a teacher in the sect. He always teaches people a lesson wherever he goes. Because of his status and cultivation, everyone listens attentively and agrees.
Gu Lingyun has been living under the education of all the elders since he was a child. He has become a Ninja Turtle and has mastered the skill of appearing to be serious and listening attentively but actually being distracted, and he will never interrupt.
Elder Gu never holds back.
As a result, when he arrived in Jiuqu Shuozhou, Elder Gu hit a wall. He was using Ye Liuli's street trick to give Gu Lingyun a counterexample, but the latter pointed at his nose and laughed and scolded: "Who are you talking about, old man?"
The two became enemies from then on and quarreled every time they met. It was quite magical.
Zhu Jiu was amazed at what he saw. He had seen two true disciples dislike each other, but he had never seen a disciple and an elder having a grudge against each other.
She subconsciously took out some melon seeds and watched the show. Afraid that the argument would attract some people, she walked to the side, silently lifted the invisibility spell and blended into the crowd, quietly and unnoticed.
Xingjun hesitated for a second before finally saying, "You know, in this kind of situation, you usually have to fight, and then you almost get hurt by accident, and then a hero comes out to save you, and you two become inseparable, and finally it ends in a happy ending after two thousand chapters of ups and downs."
Zhu Jiu: “…”
Xingjun is still too comprehensive.
She looked unconvinced, "You think I'm the heroine? There are so many people here and I just happened to be the one who got beaten up by accident."
Her character this time is just an inconspicuous passerby, standing in the crowd like no other, which is different from the previous ones.
Zhu Jiu is very confident.
The two of them were arguing so enthusiastically that it was inevitable that others would be affected.
Ye Liuli sneered and said, "...Your Ling Yun can't even beat Gu Yixiao, let alone a boy who is several dozen years younger than him."
