Is this a coincidence or intentional? Has Yang Zhidu teamed up with Li Shutong? Could this "hidden dragon, do not use" hexagram be a sign of her temporarily retreating from the spotlight?
The cunning fox hides in his hole, but the experienced hunter is the least impatient.
As long as Yang Zhidu is still in this world, she will catch her sooner or later and see what this little girl is up to.
Shen Qingmang said goodbye to her Third Senior Sister and finally returned to her own courtyard. Si Rong, holding a large bouquet of flowers to decorate her room, approached her enthusiastically upon seeing her. "Master, do you have any flowers you like? How about I make a wreath for you?"
"Thank you, Arong. I don't need that. You can play by yourself."
"Okay. There are so many varieties of flowers in Chaohua Palace, more than those in Wuyin Peak. I really want to stay here for a while longer."
"Have you forgotten how reluctant your father was and how he told you to come back soon?" Shen Qingmang teased.
"I'm already this old, but he still thinks I'm unsafe if I leave home. I don't want to be confined to the Taichu Sect forever. North of Chaohua Palace is Zhige Gate. How about we leave Chaohua Palace and go to Zhige Gate to have some fun?"
After hearing this, Hao Xin also came over. "Master, I also want to go to Zhige Sect. I heard that their swordsmen are much more powerful than those at Wuxing Peak. I want to learn from them."
"We will definitely go to Zhigemen. The next 'Heavenly Competition' will be held there, and you can stay there for a long time."
The "Heaven-Strengthening Competition" is a grand competition held every sixty years between all sects. As a young woman, Qiongju achieved impressive results in the competition, making her a familiar name to many cultivators from various sects. In the original novel, the Taichu sect is in crisis near the time of the Heaven-Strengthening Competition. Shen Qingmang, having not seen the subsequent plot, speculates that both the male and female protagonists will participate in the competition.
I just don't know if she can live to see that day this time.
"That will take a long time...why don't we go to the Qihuangmen? I also want to learn some medical skills." Si Rong said.
"When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can go wherever you want." Shen Qingmang said to her, "By then, you will be able to stand on your own two feet, and I will be able to let you go on your own without any worries."
"It will take Arong a long time... Senior Brother and Junior Brother will be up soon. Oh, by the way, why hasn't Senior Brother gotten up yet? He is usually the first one to get up among the three of us." Si Rong looked towards Gu Suihan's room.
Shen Qingmang quickly said, "Didn't your senior brother get injured in the previous competition? He's a little weak and needs more rest. Don't bother him."
"Okay." Si Rong nodded obediently.
Shen Qingmang gave instructions to his two young disciples and went back to his room for a while. Still feeling a little worried, he went to Gu Suihan's bedroom to see him.
Although she didn't erase his memory yesterday, she still did some tricks. Would she use the wrong technique and damage his brain?
Gu Suihan was still fast asleep on the couch, curled up in his arms, hugging the quilt tightly, a very insecure position. Shen Qingmang sat down beside the couch, looked at his sleeping face, and sighed silently.
Erasing memory is a forbidden technique and can easily damage the opponent's soul. She managed to seal his memory of the night yesterday for a period of ten years. Unless his brain is strongly stimulated during these ten years, his memory can only be restored when the time is up.
This was probably the first time in her two lifetimes that she had solved a problem by escaping. It had to be said that although escaping was shameful, it was useful. At least she didn't have to worry about how to face Gu Sui Han after waking up.
However, she still had to consider how to solve her eldest disciple's psychological problems. She didn't believe a word of what he said yesterday about his feelings of love, but the problem was that he probably felt that way, which made it difficult to deal with.
She could feel his dependence on her, and he probably mistook this dependence for love. How could she guide him to realize what true love was? Dryly lecturing on theory seemed pointless; it would be best to touch his heart through examples from his own life.
In such a large Taichu Sect, there are very few loving couples. Most cultivators are alone, and the few who are married also have their own problems. If we talk about the place with the most love stories, it has to be Chaohua Palace.
No wonder Su Miaoran said that.
"Master?"
"Are you awake?" Shen Qingmang came back to his senses instantly and looked at Gu Suihan. The other party's eyes were still a little confused, and his voice was hoarse with just waking up. "Am I dreaming again?"
Shen Qingmang's mind moved, but he did not deny it directly. He remained silent to see what else he wanted to say.
Gu Suihan seemed unaware of whether this was a dream or reality. He stared at her blankly for a long moment, a somewhat foolish smile on his face. "Master."
"Um."
"Master."
"Why."
"Master."
Shen Qingmang said helplessly: "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing, just calling you. It's nice to have you by my side."
"If I'm not by your side, where else can I be?" Shen Qingmang sighed softly, "It seems that I haven't paid enough attention to you in the past."
Otherwise, how could she not realize that he had developed that kind of feeling?
"Why did Master say such a thing? Did I make Master unhappy?"
"As long as you behave yourself, Master won't be unhappy."
Gu Suihan sat up from the couch, the silky quilt sliding off him. The young man was only wearing a single layer of clothing and looked very thin. "When did my disciple become disobedient?"
Shen Qingmang was silent for a while, then said, "I'm sorry, Sui Han, I said the wrong thing just now. I'm too selfish. You don't have to be obedient in everything. If you have anything to say, don't hide it. Tell me everything. I will never be disappointed in you."
Is the reason why Gu Suihan behaves so differently when drunk than he usually does because he usually bears too many of her expectations and doesn't dare to express his true thoughts?
She is such a failed teacher. She only thinks about reforming the two younger ones, but forgets that the older one is also a child and needs care.
"Master speaks like a human being."
"Who?"
"Someone who looks like me." Gu Sui Han said with a smile.
Shen Qingmang thought to himself, "Oh no! Could it be that he's still drunk? Why is he talking nonsense again?"
Her expression fluctuated, and Gu Suihan noticed it immediately. He murmured, "No, if this was a dream, Master wouldn't frown. This isn't a dream, this is real..."
"You were confused because of your sleep." Shen Qingmang pinched his arm lightly. "Does it hurt? Do you know where you are and who I am?"
"Master, why is you here?" Gu Sui Han looked up at her.
"You woke up late today, so I came to see you." Shen Qingmang remained calm.
"Perhaps I slept too late yesterday. I've been waiting for Master, waiting..." Gu Suihan rubbed his neck. "Why do I feel like I've forgotten something? I seemed to be going out to find Master, but...?"
"I came back by myself in the middle of the night yesterday. You might have fallen asleep while waiting. It's okay. I don't need you to keep watch. Just go to sleep."
