Chapter 87
"Who are these people?"
After taking off the masks of those monks, Gu Liangyou stared at the disheveled unfamiliar faces under the masks, hung up the call with Academician Tang, and turned his head to ask Yi Yan beside him.
"I don't know," Yi Yan said, "but he should be an enemy of Lin Shenzong."
Or they might be monks from other sects who are usually quite dissatisfied with Lin Shen Zong but dare not speak out due to the other party's status.
As the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation, even if the Lin Shen Sect's actions are relatively upright, there is no such thing as a 100% fair judgment in the world. Over time, there must be many enemies who hold grudges against it.
"Principal Zong must be very happy." Zhuge Xiao put his shoulder on Gu Liangyou's shoulder, looked at the captives tied up like dumplings with nylon ropes and sighed, "These are all piles of spiritual stones and resources."
Lin Shenzong was definitely willing to use spirit stones to exchange for this group of cultivators. They urgently needed to set up a target to scare the monkeys and stabilize their position in the world of immortal cultivation. This group of cultivators was like jumping out and running into the muzzle of the gun - of course, the premise was that Mo Da had sufficient strength to deal with this sneak attack.
Zhuge Xiao was thinking when he suddenly noticed Gu Liangyou's cold eyes. He immediately withdrew his hand with a wry smile and stood up straight like a javelin: "I forgot, sorry."
——Gu Liang’s second personality is not easy to deal with.
This is the consensus of the teachers and students of Mo University, as well as all the people who have watched the live broadcast.
However, compared to the murderous baptism before, Gu Liangyou now only responds to anyone who has physical contact with him except Yi Yan with sharp eyes. This can be regarded as a huge improvement in their relationship with each other... right?
Zhuge Xiao thought hopefully.
Gu Liangyou quickly withdrew his gaze.
Compared to the cold vigilance and suspicion at the beginning, Gu Liangyou's attitude towards the group of peers surrounding the main personality is indeed much calmer.
When necessary, he is willing to try to trust these people.
Gu Liangyi was very pleased: "It's great that you think so, You."
"Hmph." Gu Liangyou snorted softly, attracting the attention of Yi Yan next to him: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I'm not injured," Gu Liangyou said, "Besides, instead of caring about me, you should bandage your own wound first."
The fight in the sky just now was truly thrilling. With his extraordinary courage and skills, as well as a little bit of magic power from the devil, Yi Yan successfully performed the miracle of making a hundred Newtons rise from their coffins, but he was also injured in the process.
There were two or three bloody scratches on his arms caused by the sword. The wounds were not deep, but there was a lot of blood.
Blood dripped from the fingertips along the veins on the back of his hands, and his hands were covered in blood, which looked scary.
Otherwise, Gu Liangyou would not have suddenly contacted Academician Tang just now.
——He admitted that he was taking his anger out on others.
There was a hint of smile on Yi Yan's lips.
In fact, he didn't take this injury seriously at all. Neither his tendons nor his bones were broken. In his opinion, it was just a superficial injury that would heal in a few days of rest.
But when he saw Gu Liangyou's awkward look, as he clearly cared about him but kept it cold and didn't say anything in his heart, and finally couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words to him, that feeling was like being scratched on the ankle by a fluffy cat's tail, making his heart itchy.
He couldn't help but said deliberately: "I think they put something on the sword..."
Gu Liangyou suddenly turned around: "Who!?"
With just one word, he expressed a murderous feeling.
Yi Yan swore in his heart that if he wasn't in front of so many people, he would definitely hold the person in his arms and comfort him. But on the surface, he just lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I don't know, I just feel a little numb in the wound."
It is normal to feel numb. The wind is strong at high altitudes. He stayed there for a long time and was injured and bleeding. His body was almost turned into ice by the wind. How could he not feel cold and numb?
But Gu Liangyou took it seriously.
He grabbed Yi Yan's shoulder, carefully avoiding his wound, and pulled and pushed him into the tent: "Come here, I'll check you."
As he approached the tent, he finally remembered that he was not a doctor. He leaned forward with a gloomy face and asked, "It's been a long time. Where is the school doctor?"
"Here it is."
Psychologist and temporary school doctor Gong Ming raised his hand lazily.
Unlike Gu Liangyou who was too concerned and panicked, he could tell at a glance that Yi Yan was pretending, so he was not panicked at all.
The real school doctor was still treating Sect Master Lin, so even though Gu Liangyou had some doubts about his medical skills, he could only let him into the tent to help with the treatment for the time being.
"What kind of poison has he been poisoned by?" Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Liangyou's relatively calm mentality suddenly became unsustainable, and he asked in a bad tone.
Gong Ming exchanged glances with Yi Yan behind his back:
What do you want me to say?
Yi Yan responded with the same look: Whatever.
Gong understood it clearly, but he was always the kind of person who enjoyed watching the fun, so he stood up and let out a long sigh.
"Speak!" Gu Liangyou widened his eyes. Could it be some serious problem?
He subconsciously began to list various solutions: "Since it is poison, there must be herbs or pills in the world of immortal cultivation that can detoxify it, right? If that doesn't work, we can use the purification potion given to us by the elves. If that doesn't work, then..."
"Student Yi," Gong Ming suddenly changed his tone and asked in a serious tone, "Have you signed the organ donation agreement?"
Yi Yan nodded.
Gu Liangyou's head buzzed, and when he came to his senses, he found that he had pushed Gong Ming to the ground and grabbed Yi Yan by the collar who was sitting on the seat.
“You dare!”
He saw his own reflection in Yi Yan's dark pupils, and a horrifyingly twisted expression on his face compared to his usual gentle smile: "You are mine now. From the moment I branded you, whether it's your organs, body, or soul - dare you die casually and see?"
Yi Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.
In the dead silence, a shutter click sound was heard behind me.
A white light flashed, Gu Liangyou subconsciously closed his eyes, then suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
Gong Ming took back his phone: "Sorry, I forgot to turn off the flash. You guys continue."
Gu Liangyou: “…………”
Even a fool would have reacted by now.
The main personality groaned in pain in his consciousness. The last time he did this was because of the passionate confession. Gu Liangyou felt like he was on fire from beginning to end - he knew without looking in the mirror that his face must be red now.
"I am very happy."
Then, the culprit sighed with a satisfied smile under him, and even raised his hand to gently stroke Gu Liangyou's cheek: "Although I have fantasized about it before, I really didn't expect it to reach this level..."
Gu Liangyou took a deep breath, expressionlessly loosened his grip on the collar, then tensed his body, turned around, kicked away the troublesome medicine box, and strode out of the tent.
——He was afraid that if he didn't get out, he would beat someone on the spot from a minor injury to a serious one, causing death.
Inside the tent, Gong Ming looked at Yi Yan and suddenly asked, "Did you do that on purpose? You know that I'm just interested in Gu Liang as a doctor would in a patient. I already have someone I like."
"I know."
After the black-haired young man left, the smile on Yi Yan's face quickly faded.
In front of other people, he always appears cold and distant.
But Yi Yan's eyes, as he stared at the entrance of the tent, hid a deep sense of joy: "I know there are many psychologists like you who use Gu Liang as a research subject, but I advise you not to go too far - you can also write this sentence in the report to the headquarters and say that I said it."
He looked up at Gong Ming with a firm tone.
Gong Ming knew that Yi Yan had already realized the real purpose of the command center in appointing him as the captain of the second team.
But he did not avoid looking at Yi Yan, he just smiled and said: "You should know that I don't want to hurt you. I am observing you and Gu Liang, and how you get along, for the sake of maintaining the stability of your relationship and my own mental health."
"Thank you very much," Yi Yan said coldly, "but it's not necessary. The relationship between the two of us is not something that others should consider."
Gong Ming made a gesture of surrender: "I understand. I will help you talk to the headquarters."
After a pause, he asked again: "You are so active today, showing your strength even at the risk of getting hurt. Is it because you want to prove this to the command center? You don't want them to interfere in your relationship?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that after coming to Linshen Sect, especially after Gu Liangyi's seventeenth birthday, the relationship between Yi Yan and him had made rapid progress.
The command will certainly take this into consideration.
On the premise that Gu Liangyi's safety and mental health are the first priority, love, an emotional relationship that causes the parties to experience drastic emotional fluctuations, is actually not conducive to stability.
But psychological experts also know that it is absolutely unacceptable to break up a couple.
Therefore, Gong Ming could only take on this thankless job - always pay attention to the relationship between Gu Liang and Yi Yan, and start from the relatively more rational side, or in other words, sacrifice Yi Yan, who is less valuable, and make Yi Yan the shackles that bind Gu Liang.
Yi Yan discovered something wrong from the frequency of Gu Liang's recent appearances around him and his covert and overt inquiries into him, and then learned about this plan from Zong Qinyuan.
"I don't like the word shackles," Yi Yan said frankly, "I think they probably got something wrong. Gu Liang has a lot of things in his heart, friends, classmates, teachers, elders, as well as responsibility, empathy, and most importantly, kindness and justice as a human being. I am just the one that carries a little more weight among them."
"So, if I really die one day, he won't collapse. At most, he will be sad and sleepless for a while, but he will cheer up again."
He said: "In fact, if you insist, he is my anchor. Even without me, Gu Liang is still the world's unique and indispensable savior; but if I don't have him..."
Yi Yan thought about it and said to Gong Ming directly: "I will lose the meaning of living."
From his youth to now, his life has been filled with the figure of the same person. From the careful protection across the street during the holidays, to filling out the college entrance examination application form that determines the future trajectory of his life, to willingly signing a contract to join the special action team and accepting the devilish training of Instructor Jiao day after day...
Looking back over the past decade, Yi Yan suddenly realized that he seemed to have always been living around the other person.
Perhaps this is unbearable for others, but Yi Yan doesn't think so.
He even enjoyed it a little.
Gong Ming pulled the corner of his mouth, his expression somewhat helpless: "I said that it was unlucky for me to have this job. However, I don't completely agree with what you said just now."
Yi Yan: “What?”
"Regarding your statement 'I am just the one with a slightly more important role'," Gong Ming said with a smile, "Should we say that it is because the person involved is confused? In fact, Gu Liang also came to me before to confide the same distress. You two are really similar in this respect."
One of them suffered from personality dissociation when the other shot himself, and the other one has been obsessed with the childhood experience of the other for many years and was able to secretly protect the other for thousands of days and nights regardless of rain or shine. Yet, he is still worried that he is not important enough in his partner's heart and needs to test him in various roundabout ways?
Should I say that I am not confident enough, or is it just because of the interest between lovers...
Gong Ming said that as a psychologist, he did not want to think deeply about the reasons behind this.
"Also, why don't you bandage your wound? If you keep bleeding, you'll lose too much blood and pass out. Although I'm the temporary school doctor, I'm not responsible for giving you artificial respiration."
Gong Ming looked at Yi Yan in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.
Although anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education knows that blood loss has nothing to do with artificial respiration.
Yi Yan finally came to his senses.
He looked at Gong Ming who had kindly reminded him, stood up and picked up the medical box that Gu Liangyou had kicked into the corner, and said indifferently:
"You'd better shut up. It's a bit disgusting to be cared about by you."
Gong Ming: “…………”
On the other hand, inside the main hall of Lin Shenzong.
"Elder Zhou, after something like this happened, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Although Zong Qinyuan was relieved after learning that Gu Liangyi and his men not only won a great victory but also captured a lot of enemies, this did not prevent him from exaggerating the situation by hundreds of times and playing the victim in front of Zhou Qingzi.
He stared at Zhou Qingzi, whose forehead was already sweating profusely, and deliberately asked in a cold voice: "We are guests of your sect. If nothing else, at least our safety should be guaranteed, right? Even though Fenggu is located in a remote area, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Lin Shen Sect. It is a slap in the face of the Lin Shen Sect if someone invades it so easily!"
Zhou Qingzi began to wipe his sweat: "Yes, yes, you are right..."
But Zong Qinyuan still pressed on, "My students have taken the bullet for your sect this time, and many of them are injured. Elder Zhou, what do you say we should do?"
Many people were injured - specifically, it included scratches and scrapes that could heal if left alone for a while. For example, Yi Yan's injury was described by Zong Qinyuan as one that required him to be sent to the ICU in the next second.
Moreover, Zong Qinyuan was very confident when he said this:
Who says a scrape doesn't count as an injury?
Zhou Qingzi was indeed frightened, and thought that the people of Moda had really suffered heavy losses in this attack. He apologized to Zong Qinyuan repeatedly, and said that he would thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind it, and hoped that they would hand over the captured prisoners to them for interrogation.
"this……"
Seeing Zong Qinyuan's embarrassed look, Zhou Qingzi suddenly realized something and said, "Of course, we are willing to give a certain amount of spiritual stones as compensation! We will have our disciples deliver it to your door in person!"
Zong Qinyuan immediately stopped being embarrassed: "Then thank you for your help. However, our research has encountered some bottlenecks recently. I have another request. I hope Elder Zhou can consider it."
Zhou Qingzi's smile was a little stiff: "Go ahead."
"Biomedicine has always been a weak specialty of our university." Zong Qinyuan said this with great sincerity, because it was all the truth. "We have plans to open an affiliated medical school in the future, but the teaching staff and funding have always been a big problem. Now the latter has been solved, but hiring teachers... It's really not something that can be solved with money alone."
Zhou Qingzi listened in a daze for a long time before he barely understood what Zong Qinyuan meant.
Simply put, they want to expand, but they don’t want to just rely on money to poach people, they also want to create their own brand in this field?
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qingzi asked tentatively: "Then, do you need me to send two disciples from the Herb Garden to guide you?"
Zong Qinyuan immediately shook his hand enthusiastically and said, "That couldn't be better! We welcome talents like you to join us!"
Zhou Qingzi: “…………”
Why did he feel like he was being fooled by Zong Qinyuan again?

Earth, in a famous forum.
"Today! We gather here! Just to celebrate our long-lasting couple relationship and hope we can get married soon!"
"Ahhhh, fill up my glass with liquor, champagne, and vodka! I won't stop until I'm drunk tonight!"
"I have been in a trance since daytime until now, and my mind is full of only one thought: What the hell is this god-like couple? Am I worthy of this? Huh???"
"I did good deeds in my previous life, and this is what I deserve (lying down peacefully.jpg)"
"I thought that seeing Yi Yan perform so well today, jumping off a helicopter and snatching a flying sword from mid-air, and taking on ten people alone was already the limit, but who would have thought that Gu Liang's performance later on would be even more impressive."
"To be honest, the moment he grabbed Yi Yan's collar, I jumped up from the classroom full of hundreds of people. Everyone in the classroom heard my scream."
"+1 for the death of my co-worker, but I don't regret it, really. I will remember this scene for the rest of my life. I'll give them 2,000 yuan for their wedding. As long as I'm given a seat in the corridor, I'll eat there."
"Family, I won't say any more. I'm going to go revisit the classics again."
"I missed the live broadcast during the day and shed tears.jpg I want the complete video resource, my family! If I can't see the whole process, my life, some of my good qualities, and even my soul will be destroyed!"
"What do you mean by American Empire? We are a real couple! Real-life RPS matchmaking is lame, hahahaha!"
But compared to the joy of online fans, especially CP fans, a serious meeting was being held in the command center.
"I've said before, don't get involved in this kind of thing lightly," Lu Lang leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms and sneered. He said to the other members of the meeting, "Please wake up, everyone. We are not Gu Liang or Yi Yan's parents. And even if we are, will your children really listen to us?"
Lu Lang himself was also very annoyed that the command made such a decision without him.
However, there are some orders that are difficult for him to veto even as a minister, because they are the result of the game between various forces.
However, Lu Lang himself also had an attitude of watching the show, because he knew that Yi Yan would definitely not sit idly by - you see, hasn't trouble happened?
As the captain of the special operations team, this was the first time that Yi Yan clearly expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the command of the headquarters.
Lu Lang thought it was normal, but for some big shots who were in the late stage of paranoia, this was a very bad sign.
In particular, Yi Yan also performed such a thrilling action drama in front of the whole world.
His current strength is second only to Gu Liang, and he is also the only lover of the Savior. Even the Superman comics know that Lois will turn evil after being killed by the Joker. Lu Lang thought, these bastards who are only concerned with power struggles actually have to wait for the parties involved to stand up before they realize how stupid their previous actions were?
It's simply unreasonable.
"I have to say that I have learned a lot from this unexpected incident that has affected the entire world," Lu Lang saw that no one had spoken, so he spoke slowly again, "Plus, I am fortunate enough to be in this position, so I can see things more clearly."
"When a crisis comes, some people are desperate, even if it means standing up to a chariot; some people try to take advantage of the situation, but they are afraid to take action and even do bad things because they are worried about their reputation; and some people are so selfish that they don't care if the whole human race is extinct one day."
After he finished speaking, many people present began to fidget in their seats, and there was a momentary commotion in the conference room.
Lu Lang pretended not to see it and continued:
"For the first kind of people, I pay the highest respect to them, because even I cannot fully reach this level; the second kind of people are the majority of ordinary people, the billions of people on the earth, and I cannot condemn them, because selfishness is a common characteristic of human beings, just like occasional kindness, which is not surprising."
"But there is a third type of people," Lu Lang's eyes swept across everyone present, his sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, "this type of people, regardless of national boundaries, I believe everyone has encountered them. And because they are often able to be ruthless, they are often in high positions, hold great power, and gain both fame and fortune."
"But I hope you can understand that what you are playing is not a chess piece, but the future of all mankind, the fire of human civilization. Did you relax because of the news you got from Gu Liang? Did you let your guard down? Do you think that Mo Da's return is a 100% foregone conclusion, so you can do whatever you want?"
Lu Lang's voice gradually became louder, and his harsh accusations echoed in the empty conference room.
Except for the people responsible for simultaneous interpretation, even the sound of coughing disappeared.
However, the secretary sitting next to Lu Lang looked very frank, because before the meeting started, Minister Lu had already discussed with him that at this meeting, those cunning people from various countries would be severely punished, and the power would be returned to the original upper echelons who had established the headquarters.
Although these people did have their own ideas, at least the first group of people who dared to stand up at the critical moment were full of faith.
Minister Lu should have wanted to do this a long time ago, the subordinates looked at Lu Lang's tense profile and thought silently in their hearts that there has never been a suitable opportunity.
It was Yi Yan who gave them this opportunity.
It has to be said that sometimes, the more he understood the young man, the more he would be shocked by the unfathomable heart hidden beneath his calm appearance.
How could this be the mentality of a teenager?
They endure when they need to endure, and then burst out at the critical moment. They can create opportunities for them even across a world, and work together inside and outside to beat those disobedient troublemakers. Although the ultimate goal is to have a good relationship... cough, but in terms of means, it is indeed very mature and experienced.
The subordinates admit that they absolutely cannot do it.
Should we say it's fortunate that people like Gu Liang who possess amazing power are selfless, and people like Yi Yan who are well versed in the ways of the world and political games can become a protective umbrella for Gu Liang, protecting him from the invisible hail of bullets.
Even the subordinates felt that humans were very lucky in this regard.
"...Last topic, Minister Lu, how should we deal with that group of immortal cultivators?"
After finally getting through the long meeting, just as Lu Lang was about to adjourn the meeting, a representative from one country raised his hand and asked this question, which immediately drew angry glares from representatives from all directions:
You are the only one who is troublesome!
If you have any questions, why don’t you wait until tomorrow to discuss them? Didn’t you see that Minister Lu is very angry today?
"How to deal with it?" Lu Lang repeated his question with a strange look in his eyes. "Dear representative, I remember that Gu Liangyi seemed to have contacted Mo Da in the live broadcast. Didn't you watch it carefully?"
"I saw it," the representative was a little scared under Lu Lang's urgent gaze, but he still tried to straighten his back and asked, "But we have doubts. Will this way of handling things... have a bad impact?"
"Not a good influence?"
Lu Lang twirled his pen and laughed.
He did not answer the representative's question, but turned his head to look at the representative of the Bald Eagle Country sitting next to him: "Albert, what do you think?"
Albert and Lu Lang are old rivals and old friends. Their intersection can be traced back to their time in the intelligence department. Hearing this, the famous Jewish oligarch and politician with black hair and black eyes, dressed in a suit, raised his eyelids and placed the chess piece he had been playing with - a black king chess piece - on the table.
The crisp sound of collision shocked everyone slightly.
But Lu Lang just stared at the outline of the black chess piece. For some reason, he always felt that its abstract face looked a bit like Gu Liangyi.
Albert pulled the corner of his mouth. He didn't even look up at the representative. He just stared at the chess piece and answered nonchalantly:
"Of course, my friend, I will be happy to help you answer the representative's question. In a society where the monetary order is established, gold coins are God; outside of this..."
“Only those with power are qualified to define justice.”
