Time passed quietly, and the relationship between them had become so bad that it could not be worse.
Every time He Lanzhi teased Lu Xingchen despite his disgusted expression, she was tormented in her heart, but according to her personality, she had to act this way, which made her even more miserable.
However, Lu Xingchen's adaptability is extremely strong, and so is He Lanzhi.
Therefore, this situation gradually stabilized and formed a fixed pattern, as if it were a daily task.
He Lanzhi needs to tease him, and Lu Xingchen needs to resist or chase him and beat him up.
After a long time, the master who had not accepted any disciples for a long time and whose whereabouts were hard to find actually accepted another disciple, this person was named Gu Qingze.
Gu Qingze has a very good appearance and is very beautiful. She seems to have the same serious personality as Xingxing.
He Lanzhi sighed helplessly. The new junior brother was so handsome. According to his character, when he met such a beautiful woman, he had to tease her. It seemed that he had to add a new task.
Other than that, He Lanzhi didn't care much about her new apprentice...
However, Lu Xingchen seemed to be very happy because of the new junior brother. Since Xingxing was happy, he was happy too.
After all...Xingxing hasn't smiled like this for a long time.
Apart from the fact that he couldn't accept that Xingxing had a Taoist partner, he was very open-minded about everything else.
He could sense that this Junior Brother Gu had a Taoist partner, or at least someone he liked.
In this way, there is no possibility for him and Xingxing to be together, and at most they can only be friends.
In this case, Xingxing has been lonely for so many years, so it would be a good thing to have a friend.
He Lanzhi thought that the new junior brother seemed to have a very similar personality to Xingxing, and they should be able to get along well... To be precise, with Xingxing's personality, if it weren't for him, he could actually become friends with anyone.
However, just a few days after Junior Brother Gu arrived, he heard that Xingxing was going to become a Taoist couple with Junior Sister Yaqin from the next peak? ! ! !
He Lanzhi was extremely anxious for a moment and rushed over, disrupting Junior Sister Yaqin's thoughts and asking her to look for someone else.
After regaining his sanity, he began to inquire about the cause and effect of the matter. He learned that Junior Sister Yaqin invited Xingxing to be her contracted Taoist partner in order to fulfill her parents' wish, and they were not actually husband and wife. Xingxing agreed to this in order to clarify the rumors that had been spread before.
He Lanzhi couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She shouldn't have acted rashly without figuring out the reason. It was indeed wrong.
But since he has already done it, and based on the temperament he is showing now, there is no way he will apologize to her. He may even laugh at her after knowing that Xingxing is angry.
However, He Lanzhi really couldn't treat Xingxing like this, so when Xingxing questioned him, he could only choose to remain silent and pretend to be dumb, and then leave after Xingxing finished venting.
But the daily teasing plan still had to be carried out, so he randomly found a junior sister and teased her a few times. Unexpectedly, the junior sister wanted to do that kind of thing with him, so he hurriedly dealt with it with the method he had used to deal with others before.
Before they had chatted for a few words, the new junior brother Gu found him.
Junior Brother Gu came to stand up for Xingxing. After hearing this, he even felt a little relieved because Xingxing finally had someone who could protect him.
However, it was inconvenient to talk here as there were too many people and too many ears, so he took his junior brother Gu to Jueyin Peak.
Even after entering the silent space, He Lanzhi still had to pretend and maintain her composure in order to prevent Junior Brother Gu from telling Xingxing.
But when he heard Junior Brother Gu mention that he and Xingxing might become "friends", he couldn't help but refute it.
After this incident, the relationship between He Lanzhi and Lu Xingchen became increasingly strained. In the past, when they flirted with each other every day, Xingchen would at least react, but now she completely ignored him.
In this way, about three years passed, and the master accepted his fourth apprentice, named Chu Lingxiao.
Junior Brother Chu seems to have a very good relationship with Junior Brother Gu, even a little too close, as if there is something fishy going on.
But He Lanzhi didn't care about it. Apart from his mother, the stars and some things that he had to pay attention to, everything else was something he could pay attention to or ignore. He held an indifferent attitude.
The sect inexplicably reformed its system before the sword-fighting conference, changing it to "one leading many".
This was the first time Xingxing had spoken to him so calmly since that incident, but there was a hint of businesslike indifference and deep fatigue in her words.
As he expected, when he called Junior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Chu, no one was willing to choose him. They must have been so disgusted with him after hearing what Xingxing said.
Just when he thought that no junior brother would choose him, Xingxing took the initiative to speak up for him, and finally Junior Brother Chu chose him.
Since Xingxing trusts him and is bound by the "Heavenly Contract", he can maintain his outward temperament while teaching Junior Brother Chu wholeheartedly.
Time passed in this fulfilling way. After Junior Brother Chu went into seclusion, he guided Junior Brother Gu for a period of time.
He had originally intended to show off his skills at the sword-fighting tournament, but he never expected that the current head of the family, his so-called biological father, would suddenly pass away.
Now is the perfect time to gain the position of Patriarch, but the Sword Competition can only rely on Xingxing. For this reason, he went to Xingxing to explain.
Now that his power has been properly built up and his plan has been almost executed, he no longer needs to maintain that superficial personality.
