Chapter 36: Accidentally Entering Spring Garden, For my Senior Brother, I would do anything. ...
Gu Congxing sheathed his sword and walked down the Jiuxiao Martial Arts Arena with his head held high.
The ring on his wrist was still running, and the lustrous green spiritual power slowly repaired the wound on his left shoulder. Gu Congxing only felt that the skin and flesh there had begun to heal.
Junior brother, this magic weapon is truly magical.
"Senior Brother!" "Cong Xing!"
Hearing the call of continuous victory all around him, Gu Congxing was surrounded by several people as soon as he arrived outside the martial arts field.
"Senior Brother! You won with the Liuyun Sword Technique! That's awesome!" Zhong Ming jumped into Gu Congxing's arms excitedly.
"Congxing, your Liuyun swordsmanship is truly extraordinary." Lan Jue also took a step forward and gently stroked Gu Congxing's head with his hand.
Gu Congxing listened to their constant praise, raised his chin and smiled, "This is just the quarterfinals. You'll have more to praise later."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people around him couldn't help but laugh out loud.
For some unknown reason, Gu Congxing turned around and looked at the purple-colored crowd sitting on the high seats on the other side.
In the middle, a person was standing with a fan in his hand, his long hairband fluttering in the wind.
Gu Congxing looked at him from afar, their two similar pairs of eyes unblinking.
"Hey! From the stars!"
A hearty laugh broke Gu Congxing's thoughts. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Yaoqi.
He approached carelessly, put his arm around Gu Congxing's shoulder, and grinned, "You really scared me. When I saw you fall to the ground, I almost regretted agreeing to swap places with Gu Qing."
"Fortunately, my judgment was good. You managed to turn defeat into victory!"
Gu Congxing patted his arm and was about to pull the man off him, but he saw a dark figure behind Yao Qi.
She has long raven hair, a dark black robe with gold patterns, and red feather earrings swaying gently.
Gu Congxing's eyes froze, and a storm surged in his heart.
——Xiao Wangyou!!
Ever since he saw the tragedy of his previous life through the power of the system, the scene of Xiao Wangyou causing his master's death always appears in his nightmares.
Speaking of which, he and he had fought side by side in the illusion of Qingsang Village, and they had some comradeship. However, these fragile bonds were completely vulnerable in the face of the bloody facts of the past life.
Gu Congxing thought, if there was no Xiao Wangyou, what would happen in this life?
If there were no so-called "protagonist", that revenge full of misunderstandings would never have begun, the master would not have died, the junior brother would not have been possessed by the black shadow monk's punch and become possessed by the devil in grief and anger, and the eldest brother would not have been alone and ultimately sacrificed and died.
If I kill him...
"From the stars?"
A soft whisper sounded in his ear, bringing Gu Congxing back to his senses.
He shook his head slightly to calm the murderous intent in his heart.
No, he couldn't let this thought show up. Based on the system's past experience, it would never allow him to attack Xiao Wangyou.
And the time cannot be now.
"Nothing, Big Brother, I'm just a little tired."
Lan Jue observed his expression silently, then smiled faintly after a moment, saying, "You've certainly taken quite a bit of damage from this tough fight. Let me take you to rest."
"Yeah." Gu Congxing withdrew his gaze and walked out with Lan Jue and Zhong Ming.
Yao Qi said goodbye to them and began to think with his chin in his hand.
"Wangyou, do you know Congxing?"
"...Yes, we have crossed paths before."
Xiao Wangyou came to Yaoqi's side, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You call him Congxing?"
"Yeah, Congxing and I hit it off right away. What? Are you jealous?"
Yao Qi patted Xiao Wangyou's shoulder with a grin and continued, "Don't be fooled by his resemblance to a lily of the valley. He's actually quite straightforward. It's just that he has a lot of people around him, so it's not easy to get close to him."
Xiao Wangyou still had a stern expression on his face. He stared at the backs of the three brothers in silence.
"Speaking of which, isn't their master Chen Mu here?"
Yao Qi replied, "No. What a pity! I wanted to see the elegance of Zhuoguang Sword Master."
"Really?"
Xiao Wangyou lowered his eyelids to hide the darkness in his eyes.
***
"System, what is my current redemption level?"
[Ding! Current host redemption value 30%, points 280!]
Gu Congxing changed into a nightgown, lay on the bed, and fell into silence as he stared at the glittering stone slabs in the sky.
Sure enough, since the last time he completed the blood awakening mission for his junior brother, his redemption level has never increased.
It seems that only by completing the tasks issued by the system can the redemption value and points be increased.
"When does the next mission start?"
[Host, according to the main system's prediction, the next main quest will be released after the duel ends!]
Gu Congxing sat up straight, closed his eyes, and adjusted the spiritual energy in his body.
Comprehending the seventeenth move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique was a pleasant surprise, but his spiritual energy had been depleted, and he needed to recuperate. Fortunately, the next individual battle was two days away, giving him plenty of time to recover.
He had only circulated his spiritual energy for a few cycles when he heard a loud voice calling from outside the door.
"Brother! I'm here to see you!"
"Junior brother?" Gu Congxing pushed open the door and saw Zhong Ming with a smile on his face.
The two walked into the house, and Zhong Ming held up a cup of green spiritual liquid like a treasure: "Brother, this is the spiritual fruit wine I just made. It is very effective in restoring spiritual power. Would you like to try it?"
Gu Congxing took it, took a sip, and it was indeed full of rich fruity aroma.
“It tastes good.”
Gu Congxing rubbed the boy's head, but he grabbed his hand and rubbed it with his cheek.
Zhong Ming's fingers stroked Gu Congxing's wrist, and he smiled with relief when he touched the ring of the same root.
"Speaking of which, this same-root ring has extraordinary effects, comparable to a heavenly-grade magic weapon." Gu Congxing looked into his dark golden eyes and said, "How did you forge it? Could it be... Dragon Blood Vine?"
Zhong Ming held Gu Congxing's arms with both hands, sat closer, and looked up at him with a rather pitiful look.
"Brother, you are indeed very intelligent. I know that the dragon blood vine is nourished by dragon blood and is not an auspicious thing. Brother... do you dislike it?"
Gu Congxing held Zhong Ming's hand and looked straight at him.
"What nonsense! The dragon blood vine is your protective magic weapon, and I'm worried that making this bracelet will damage it."
"Of course not. But you can't use dragon blood vine during this period. It will be fine in a few months."
Zhong Ming answered in a cheerful voice, leaning against Gu Congxing's shoulder.
He extracted the purest veins from the root of the dragon blood vine to make this ring. It cannot be used within four months and needs to be slowly nourished and restored.
For some reason, when extracting the dragon blood vine veins, Zhong Ming himself actually felt a phantom pain like cramps and bones being pulled out. However, when he thought that all this was for his senior brother, he felt extremely happy.
——This is the pain caused by my senior brother.
——A part of myself will always be closely connected with my senior brother.
Zhong Ming only felt an indescribable heat surging in his chest, and his eyes flickered darkly under his thick eyelashes.
"By the way, since you made the same root ring, that means you also learned the art of refining weapons? You are quite capable."
Gu Congxing couldn't see the change in Zhong Ming's expression at all from his perspective. He just patted his back again, as usual.
Zhong Ming did not respond immediately as usual. Instead, he said after a moment, "Of course. For my brother, I would do anything."
He looked up at Gu Congxing and said, "Brother, I've just learned the Qingjing Lingtai technique, which helps restore the spiritual energy in the meridians. Would you like to try it?"
"That's natural."
Gu Congxing followed Zhong Ming's instructions, relaxed his body, sat on the bed, and closed his eyes.
Zhong Ming stood in front of Gu Congxing, holding his head with both hands, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the soft flesh on his cheek.
He lowered his eyelids, and his eyes swept across Gu Congxing's cheek inch by inch as if they were real, as if licking it.
"Junior Brother?"
Sensing that Zhong Ming had not taken any action, Gu Congxing couldn't help but ask.
"Well, Brother, I'll start now."
Zhong Ming took another step forward and stopped only when their legs were touching. At the same time, he placed one hand on Gu Congxing's head and whispered a mantra.
His lips moved, the wood-based skills were activated, and spiritual power slowly poured into Gu Congxing's body.
This technique consumes a lot of spiritual power and mental energy. Within a few moments, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhong Ming's face, and his cheeks were flushed.
The windows in the house were wide open, and a few breezes blew into the house, bringing a few petals of peach blossoms.
After reciting the incantation, the spiritual waves subsided.
Gu Congxing's whole body seemed to be immersed in a vast ocean of green. The recovery of his spiritual power was more than twice as fast as during his usual meditation. He couldn't help but immerse himself in it, reducing his sensitivity to the outside world.
Zhong Ming's hand on his head slowly moved back and inserted into his black hair.
The other hand gently stroked Gu Congxing's face, and her fingers brushed across the red mole on his left eyelid.
“Senior Brother…”
The two men did not notice that two figures were approaching outside the courtyard.
"Tsk, we agreed that if I help you treat Gu Congxing this time, you have to give me the sword manual." Yuan Chi crossed his arms in front of his chest and said to the young man beside him.
"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Fellow Daoist Yuan is still so keen on collecting sword manuals."
Lan Jue chuckled and led Yuan Chi to Gu Congxing's courtyard.
"Speaking of which, the two Gu brothers are more troublesome than the other." Yuan Chi sighed heavily, "If we weren't both in Youbeizhou, and if it weren't for the fact that the Gu family has stood in front of the Yuan family to resist the demons for many years, I wouldn't have agreed to this troublesome task."
"The Gu and Yuan families have supported each other for many years, and I have heard of this."
Yuan Chi shrugged. "Don't forget that Yuan Che and I are also going to participate in the individual competition. I hope we don't run into Gu Congxing, otherwise I'll be at a big disadvantage—Huh? Why is the gate open?"
Lan Jue stopped and looked stern.
He and Yuan Chi looked at each other, and they both walked quickly into the yard, silently summoning their weapons.
However, as soon as I stepped forward, what caught my eye was the wide-open window frame.
Zhong Ming, with his black curly hair loose, stood beside the bed. His cheeks were flushed and even his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
In front of him was Gu Congxing sitting on the bed. He was only wearing a nightgown, which was slightly disheveled, revealing the snow-white skin on the back of his neck.
Lan Jue and Yuan Chi stood there in a daze, seeing Gu Congxing's head blocking Zhong Ming's crotch, while Zhong Ming's hand was inserted in Gu Congxing's hair, and he let out a sigh like a moan.
“Senior Brother…”
In an instant, Lan Jue's eyes widened, and spiritual energy surged throughout his body -
