Gu Wei really didn't expect that Elder Shu could catch up so quickly. At the same time, he felt relieved. Fortunately, there was only Elder Shu. If there were others, it would be difficult to deal with.
Then he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
He placed his hands on his forehead and half-bent his back respectfully, "Jing Xuan greets Elder Shu. Jing Xuan is from Beijiang. I just happened to meet you here by chance."
Tingxue Tower does not ask about the past. Even fellow apprentices who grew up together may not know each other’s identities in the secular world.
No one except his master knew Gu Weibei's identity as Jiang Zhenbei's general.
Elder Shu paid the most attention to etiquette. When he saw Gu Wei's proper and polite appearance, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, diluting the solemn and rigid look.
"How are you these days? Your master misses you very much. Go back when you have a chance."
When he said the words "go back", his tone became more emphatic.
Gu Wei noticed Elder Shu's hint and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I will go to see him after I have dealt with my worldly affairs."
Elder Shu stroked his beard, glanced at Gu Wei's clothes and his obviously disguised face, and said bluntly: "Are you in trouble? Tingxue Tower will always support you. Is there any uncle who can help you?"
Gu Wei shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Master, for your concern. People in Tingxue Tower don't care about the secular world. Gu Wei can handle it himself."
Elder Shu patted Gu Wei on the shoulder and said, "Good boy."
"Ha ha......."
Su Qu half-knelt on the ground, covering his mouth and laughing.
Elder Shu frowned, turned around to face Su Qu, and immediately put on a stern expression, saying in a stern voice: "How dare you laugh? What are you laughing at?"
Su Qu looked at Elder Shu's hair that was blown into a mess by the wind and couldn't help laughing.
"Uncle Master, Uncle Master, I'm sorry! Yes, I'm sorry!"
Elder Shu was traveling at lightning speed and had no idea what he looked like now. His thick eyebrows were furrowed together and he looked confused.
Xie Ling stood aside and really admired Su Qu's generosity.
According to Gu Wei, Su Qu killed so many people, he will definitely be punished when he returns.
Now facing such a rigid and strict elder, he could still laugh. Xie Ling really didn't know whether to say he was heartless or too calm.
In modern times, Gu Wei is probably that good student in other people's families, the type that all teachers like.
Su Qu is a naughty and bad student who laughs all day long and does not do his homework.
"Uncle Master, your hair is so messy that I couldn't help laughing. I'm sorry."
Su Qu forced himself to put away his smile and performed a dignified salute.
The main focus is honesty.
Elder Shu touched the top of his head and his forehead twitched.
How disgraceful it is for him to be so unseemly!
Everyone only felt a gust of wind passing before their eyes, and when they blinked again, they could no longer see Elder Shu.
Xie Ling was a little confused, "Where is your uncle?"
Gu Wei patted her hands and said, "It's okay. He probably went to fix his appearance."
As soon as he finished speaking, another gust of wind blew by, and Elder Shu, whose hair had been tidied, walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, every step he took was dignified and generous.
Gu Wei and Su Qu seemed to be used to it and bowed again.
"Meet Uncle Master."
Elder Shu slapped Su Qu in the face and angrily scolded, "I have been looking for you for so long, do you think the building rules are a joke?"
Facing Gu Wei with a hint of doubt, "Jingxuan, why are you here?"
Gu Wei answered readily.
Xie Ling watched the three people's actions and stood aside, disheveled in the wind.
What is this, a re-enactment?
Help, are there really normal people in Tingxue Tower?
Perhaps it was because the shock on Xie Ling's face was too obvious that Elder Shu turned his gaze and asked, "Who is this little girl?"
Xie Ling's impression of Elder Shu has now changed from a stern dean of studies to a lovely old man.
She imitated Gu Wei's bow and smiled slightly, "I am Xie Ling, Gu Wei's friend, nice to meet you, elder."
Gu Wei was stunned.
friend?
Elder Shu nodded, "He's a good kid."
Then he looked at Gu Wei, hinting, "Last time your master observed the sky at night, he said that your red star is moving."
Gu Wei lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Elder Shu stopped talking at that point and did not continue the topic.
His purpose of this trip was to find Su Qu, so he got straight to the point and asked, "Where did you go when you ran away?"
Su Qu straightened his spine and said calmly, "Kill someone."
Elder Shu frowned, "Who bullied you?"
Su Qu cried out, hugged Elder Shu's thigh, and cried with snot and tears, "Uncle Master, you really don't know how hard it is for me. It's a long story from my childhood..."
Elder Shu looked disgusted, but he didn't push him away. After he finished speaking, his eyes gradually turned cold and he looked at Gu Wei, "Is what he said true?"
Gu Wei handed over a letter, "Jing Xuan testified, not a single word was false. Give this letter to Master, it should help him avoid some punishment."
Su Qu rushed over again and hugged Gu Wei's thigh, "Brother, you are the one who is doing the best for me, otherwise I might have been beaten to death.
Seeing that he was about to leave, he quickly handed Gu Wei a wooden sign and said hurriedly: "Brother, this is a swordsmith I know. He lives in Chuling County, Yunqin State. His name is Xiao Ning. If you pass by, you can ask him to help you check your sword."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the collar and taken away from the grove by Elder Shu.
Su Qu's voice came from afar.
"Uncle Master, isn't this the way back to Tingxue Tower? Why are we going to Ningzhou?"
"Shut up."
Xie Ling was a little confused, "Where did your uncle take him?"
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, we should go to help him get revenge."
