Gu Jin only realized after her death that the only one who collected her corpse and ruthlessly avenged her was the 'little wolf cub' she had once shown kindness to with a meal.
After ...
Chapter 1307: The First Person in the Spiritual World, Both Good and Evil
Gu Jin had satisfied his desire and helped the boy up from the ground.
She said to the boy gently, just like she did to Duoduo in the past: "Alright, get up. It will be the same as it was in the past."
After saying that, he pinched the boy's cheek and said, "I didn't expect you to be so handsome in human form."
Although An Mingji was no longer jealous of Duoduo like before, his eyes darkened when he saw Gu Jin pinching and touching him.
He reached out and pulled Gu Jin's hand that was pinching the boy's cheek.
Under Duoduo's surprised gaze, An Mingji hugged Gu Jin around the waist.
He said indifferently: "You have just transformed into a human, and you need to practice more human speech and behavior. It is not suitable for you to go out and meet people now. Stay in the space for the time being."
Without giving the young man a chance to speak, An Mingji hugged the person in his arms and disappeared into space.
The two appeared again in the side hall of Qingyun Sect.
They were standing at the entrance to the side hall. Outside the courtyard stood hundreds of Qingyun Sect disciples, led by Wu Rong, who was dressed in white and looked as elegant as an immortal.
"Welcome back, Master Xuanling. We are here to see you, old ancestor!"
"Welcome back, Master Xuanling. We are here to see you, old ancestor!"
Hundreds of people knelt down, staring with sharp eyes at An Mingji who was holding Gu Jin in his arms.
All of their faces were filled with excitement, admiration and respect.
Among these people, only one person stood, the seventeenth generation leader of Qingyun Sect, Wu Rong.
He stood in front of the crowd, smiling, and gave An Mingji a faint smile.
An Mingji raised his eyebrows slightly, how could he not see the mockery in his junior brother's eyes.
Under the gaze of everyone, he gently put down Gu Jin who was in his arms.
Gu Jin landed his feet on the ground and loosened his hands that were holding An Mingji's clothes.
An Mingji pinched her cheek affectionately and said in a gentle voice: "Wait for me here, I will take you back to Xuanxiao Palace later."
Gu Jin knew what Xuanxiao Palace was. It was the highest mountain among the 72 mountains of Qingyun Sect and also a forbidden area of the sect. It was the palace of Venerable Xuanling.
Even the leader and elders of the sect must ask for permission from Venerable Xuanling if they want to enter Xuanxiao Palace.
Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy.
The formation outside Xuanxiao Palace kills people without anyone noticing, and almost no one in the sect dares to break in.
Gu Jin knew it so clearly only because she had received Luo Yu's memories. The memories of him and Venerable Xuanling in Xuanxiao Palace were lightly imprinted in her mind.
She lowered her eyes, hiding the complexity in them, and nodded slightly to An Mingji.
An Mingji seemed not to notice the nostalgia in her eyes and the complicated and tangled expression on her face. He raised his hand and touched her dark hair, then turned and walked out of the hall.
An Mingji stood outside the palace, his eyes slightly dimmed, and glanced at the disciples of Qingyun Sect indifferently. The aura around him was open, and there was no longer any suppression.
Her black hair was casually draped over her red dress, exuding a combination of evil charm and laziness, and her tall figure exuded a noble and natural aura.
His facial features bathed in the sunlight are angular yet gentle, and the red mole between his eyebrows makes him look even more sacred and beautiful.
At this moment, An Mingji, or Reverend Xuanling, was like an arrogant king who looked down upon the world.
In his eyes, everything in the world is not worth mentioning.
The king returns with a gorgeous transformation.
From now on, no one can control his destiny.
Even if it is the will of heaven, it is not allowed!
An Mingji looked down at the disciples of Qingyun Sect who were kneeling on the ground. The solemn expression on his face instantly disappeared, his face became gentle, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
He slowly spoke, "It's useless for you to kneel before me. I never interfere in the affairs of the sect. If you have any questions, go to the Sect Master."
The implication is, just do what you need to do and don't try to make a presence of yourself here.
An Mingji spoke in a casual tone, and his aura changed in an instant, with a rather lazy and sloppy attitude like a rich young man.
A thousand years ago, Venerable Xuanling was the number one person in the spiritual world. He was always casual in nature, both good and evil, and did things as he pleased without any constraints.
An Mingji at this time has merged with the Venerable Xuanling from a thousand years ago, making it difficult to tell whether he is a person of this life or the previous life.
His appearance had changed slightly, and a familiar aura was imprinted on his soul, allowing all the disciples to see it clearly.
Venerable Xuanling has truly returned, and the Qingyun Sect no longer needs to hide from the world.
Wu Rong laughed out of anger after hearing what An Mingji said: "Who dares to bother Senior Brother with the sect's affairs? They just want to see Senior Brother."
An Mingji raised his eyebrows, smiling: "Have you finished reading it now?"
Wu Rong understood his temper and immediately waved to the disciples kneeling behind him.
"You go down first and clean up the sect's seventy-two peaks and thirty-six caves. The peak masters and cave masters will come out of retreat soon."
"I will follow the orders of the Sect Master!"
Wu Zihua took the lead and left with his disciples.
Wu Rong has come out of retreat, so Wu Zihua will naturally have to step down from the position of head of the sect.
Over the years, the master was injured and went into seclusion to practice, and the peak masters and cave masters also went into seclusion a thousand years ago for unknown reasons.
Venerable Xuanling has returned, the sect leader has come out of seclusion, and the masters of the various peaks and caves in the sect who have been in seclusion for a thousand years will soon return to their positions. From today on, the sect that had long been deserted will regain its glory from a thousand years ago.
After the disciples of Qingyun Sect left, Wu Rong raised his eyes to look at An Mingji.
Others may not be able to see it, but he knows it at a glance.
Senior brother's cultivation has regressed greatly, and the fusion of the main spirit and the split spirit consumes a lot of energy. Now An Mingji's soul is very unstable, and he urgently needs a place with rich spiritual energy to practice in seclusion and concentrate his mind.
Wu Rong sighed, "The spiritual spring in the back mountain has opened. When will you leave, Brother?"
An Mingji turned around and looked at Gu Jin standing in the hall.
The latter walked out of the hall at his glance.
An Mingji held Gu Jin's hand, reluctant to let him go: "Ajin, I will be in seclusion for a period of time, at least three years, do you want to accompany me?"
"Why do you want to go into seclusion?" Gu Jin was more concerned about this question.
An Mingji had just woken up and was about to go into seclusion to practice. She didn't think this was a good thing.
As a cultivator herself, she knew that she would not go into seclusion unless she advanced or something went wrong in her cultivation.
Xiao An just woke up, so there is no possibility for him to advance in his cultivation.
Everyone could see the worry on Gu Jin's face.
An Mingji raised his hand to touch Gu Jin's head, rubbing his hair, and soothing him gently: "I just woke up and my cultivation is not stable. My soul also needs to rest for a while. It's not a big deal, don't worry."
He looked relaxed and at ease.
Gu Jin was less worried, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
An Mingji had just woken up and had to go into seclusion for three years.
Three years is too long.
How could Gu Jin be happy when they were going to be separated for such a long time.
But she just couldn't refuse An Mingji.
Gu Jin slowly lowered his eyes and said softly, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come out."
She has already survived two years, so why would she need these three years?
An Mingji held her hand and said with a smile: "When I said accompany me, I meant accompany me in seclusion."
