Chapter 943: I'm just scrap, not the big boss
When Gu Yin returned to her office, she saw Gu Ran.
Gu Ran looked unhappy: "You guys went out to play without inviting me! And I have to do all this hard labor! I want compensation!"
Gu Yin tossed over a bottle of pills: "I'm out of the good ones, this is all I have. Here, take a few more, thank you for your hard work! Are you satisfied?"
Gu Ran opened the bottle, smelled it, picked up a pill, swallowed it, and nodded with a smile: "Satisfied!"
Gu Yin sighed helplessly, "Alright, tell me, how's their training going? Can we increase the intensity?"
“No problem at all. They’re all young people. They might call me ‘master’ or ‘ancestor’ at first, but after two days they’ll all train properly. However, I still don’t have as many tricks up my sleeve as Chi Xing. Let her continue!”
She has limited abilities and is rather laid-back, so she's definitely not as good at having fun as Chi Xing.
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Then you can just tell her later."
After Gu Ran left, Gu Yin thought for a moment and looked at Wen Xin: "Is Daoist Zhang Xuanyue at the base?"
People like them, who are in special circumstances, occasionally go out to deal with troublesome matters.
Wenxin checked and nodded: "Yes, he is. Shall I go and call him over?"
Gu Yin stood up upon hearing this: "No need, I'll go by myself. You stay in your office, you don't need to come with me."
Gu Yin made her way through a maze of turns until she arrived at a small Taoist temple. Several Taoist priests lived there, and the living environment was something they had arranged themselves, which was quite interesting.
"Is Master Zhang here?" Gu Yin called out when she saw the door was open but no one was in the courtyard.
"Come in!"
A sound came from the main room, and Gu Yin went inside.
Inside the room, Daoist Zhang Xuanyue was sitting and making tea.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yin greeted him, "Greetings, Master Zhang. Have you eaten yet?"
Zhang Xuanyue tapped the futon: "I've eaten, sit down, I've been waiting for you."
Gu Yin was surprised and sat down as she asked, "You knew I was coming?"
"When I drink tea, I always do a divination in the morning. I predicted that a noble person would come, so I didn't go out today. I didn't know it was you."
So that's how it is! Gu Yin exclaimed in amazement. This art of divination is truly amazing; I must learn it!
"Young friend, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin handed the package in her hand to the other person.
"Do you still remember Master Qin from Baiyun Temple? This is something he asked me to pass on to you. He said it was given to you by your former master who taught you divination. He has a copy, and this copy is yours. Your teacher is no longer here, so you must accept this."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanyue took the package, opened it, and saw the handwritten notes.
Looking at the cultivation manual inside, he couldn't help but sigh: "I remember that Fellow Daoist Qin used to spar with me often. After I came here, we lost contact. I never expected that my master would leave something for me. He passed away, and I didn't go back. I feel ashamed."
Seeing this, Gu Yin comforted him, saying, "Master Qin said that everyone has their own destiny, so there's no need to worry too much about it."
Zhang Xuanyue nodded: "I understand, but I didn't expect you two would run into each other."
Gu Yin did not hide the fact that she had asked Master Qin for the divination manual.
Zhang Xuanyue chuckled: "You haven't even entered the basics, so the cultivation method is useless to you. Here, I have a few basic books here. Go back and take a look first. Once you understand Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, and the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, come back to me."
Gu Yin looked at the Book of Changes in her hand and nodded: "I understand. By the way, there is one more thing I need the Taoist priest's help with."
Zhang Xuanyue nodded: "Tell me."
"On this trip, I met a little girl with a rather special constitution. She's been plagued by bad luck since she was a child. I want to train her to be a powerful weapon, the kind that brings bad luck wherever she goes. Senior Jin has already given her a special protective item that allows her to move freely without affecting others. But she's still young, around ten years old, and doesn't understand many things. She needs a mentor to guide her. Is it convenient for you here?"
Zhang Xuanyue had encountered many people with this kind of constitution. Some had their luck borrowed, some had their fate swapped, and some were due to karmic causes. She didn't know which type this girl had.
"She doesn't seem unlucky at all. The fact that you guys ran into her means she has great luck. How could that be?"
Gu Yin shrugged: "I don't know either. Senior Jin said it's something she was born with, not something that was tampered with. Maybe all the good luck in her life was concentrated on meeting us? That's why she had bad luck before?"
Zhang Xuanyue: "...Alright, I have no problem with that. If she's willing, she can become my disciple after I've seen her. I don't have any disciples anyway."
Gu Yin stood up upon hearing this: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I won't bother you any longer. I'll go back first, and when she arrives, I'll bring her to see you."
"OK."
After leaving Master Zhang's place, Gu Yin went to check on Bai Xiaobai and the others.
The ten people were quite surprised to see Gu Yin.
"Boss, when did you get back?"
Gu Yin looked at them and nodded with satisfaction: "You've only been back a short time, and you all look much more mature than before! Not bad! How are you getting used to it? Do you still want to quit?"
“We’re not backing down! We never said we were going to back down!” Several members of the Mo family immediately spoke up.
They hadn't planned to quit in the first place, and after receiving that elixir, they were even less likely to!
Haven't you noticed how much their strength and speed have changed in the last few days? Their comprehension has also improved a lot!
Anyone who quits is a fool!
Gu Yin nodded and looked at the sword cultivators: "What about you?"
The group had lost their indignant demeanor and had become much calmer.
"We apologize for our previous attitude. We were indeed wrong, and we will no longer think about going back. We will work hard! We will strive to earn your reward!"
These days, seeing those who have taken the pills, their learning progress and physical fitness tests are all better than theirs, and they are so jealous that they are almost going crazy!
Seeing that they were indeed not dissatisfied and their eyes were full of fighting spirit, Gu Yin was satisfied.
"That's good. By the way, in a while, there will be 800 new people coming. I think Bai Wuwen has already told you about this, right?"
Everyone nodded: "We've already said that."
"That's good. You'll be in charge of these 800 people. They're some of them with special abilities, and some of them might even be just as capable as you. So you'd better work hard, or you'll be the ones who lose face!"
The group had heard Senior Brother Bai mention it before, and now that Gu Yin emphasized it again, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Can we do it? Or should we ask our senior brothers and sisters to come?"
"We've never been senior students before, and we don't know how to teach others. What if we make a fool of ourselves?"
Gu Yin knew their concerns: "It's okay. Your senior brothers and sisters will make a plan for you. You just need to master your own skills. Don't worry, this world is just a makeshift operation, and everyone is pretty much the same."
Everyone: "..."
"Well, we're all just amateurs, so what about Mr. Jin? Mr. Cheng? And you? Are you all like that?"
Gu Yin: "......"
"Of course they aren't. I am. They are the big bosses! I'm just a scrap, there's no comparison. Alright! I said all that just to make you less nervous. Train hard, and everything will be fine! Oh, I forgot to tell you, your partners will most likely be chosen from among those people. You can decide for yourselves."
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she left the venue immediately without waiting for them to reply.
Everyone: "......"
Wait, didn't they say the partner was someone from here? How did it change?
However, having said that, they did start to look forward to it.
