Gu Xuan then erased all traces, including the secrets of heaven.
After dealing with all of this.
As soon as he stepped steadily into the secret room, he immediately felt a surge of cold and damp air.
After passing through the narrow and oppressive passage, a faint light suddenly appeared ahead, and then the view gradually opened up.
It turned out that this was a dark and damp dungeon!
The air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood and decay.
Gu Xuan's gaze immediately fell upon the cross-shaped torture device in the center of the dungeon, where a disheveled young man in a scholar's robe was bound.
It was Qi Jingchun, the fourth disciple in this system's apprenticeship mission!
However, he was in a terrible state at this moment, with no part of his body unharmed, and his once handsome face was covered in scars.
Perhaps, they sensed someone was there.
Qi Jingchun, who had been unconscious with her head tilted to the side, slowly opened her eyes.
Consciousness gradually returned from chaos to reality.
The moment his gaze met Gu Xuan's, Qi Jingchun erupted into a raging fire, like a powder keg that had been lit.
He suddenly straightened up, his eyes widened, and he stared fiercely at Gu Xuan!
That look in his eyes seemed to want to devour the other person alive.
Immediately afterwards, a string of vile curses poured out of his mouth like a burst dam: "Scumbags! You hypocrites, the Confucian Way will be destroyed sooner or later because of so-called gentlemen like you!"
"Xu Yanbo, Xu Yanbo, I must have been blind to have misjudged you!"
"I thought you, as a teacher, could set a good example and teach by example, but now it seems you're nothing but a beast in human skin!"
"You lackeys, get that hypocrite Xu Yanbo, who's a beast in human form, out here right now!"
As his emotions became increasingly agitated.
Qi Jingchun's words became increasingly harsh and vulgar, eventually becoming utterly unbearable to hear.
Faced with this storm of insults.
Gu Xuan did not intervene, but merely smiled slightly.
With a half-smile, he waited with great interest for Qi Jingchun to vent all her pent-up resentment.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Qi Jingchun was speechless; he felt short of breath and all his strength was exhausted.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan stepped forward, smiling at Qi Jingchun who was panting heavily, and asked slowly, "Finished scolding?"
"......."
Qi Jingchun remained silent, only glaring angrily at Gu Xuan.
After a short pause, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "The ambition of a great Confucian scholar is unbreakable, even for a half-saint! The aspirations of a scholar are unshakable across all realms!"
"No matter how you torture me, trying to take what's on me, I will die rather than let you succeed!"
Upon hearing this,
Gu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "What a great scholar's ambition! A half-saint's spirit cannot be broken! A scholar's ambition is unshakable throughout the myriad realms!"
"With your words, it is foreseeable that a new Confucian sage will be born in the Primordial Immortal Realm."
"hehe!"
Qi Jingchun sneered, "You bunch of Xu Laodeng's lackeys and henchmen! Stop trying to get close to me, I'm not buying it!"
Despite Qi Jingchun's harsh words, Gu Xuan remained unperturbed.
Instead, she gazed at him with interest and slowly said, "Why are you so sure I'm Xu Yanbo's subordinate? Couldn't I be the one who came to rescue you?!"
Upon hearing this...
Qi Jingchun was slightly taken aback, and a sense of doubt suddenly welled up in her heart.
Indeed, the aura emanating from the person before him was completely unfamiliar, unlike the three black-robed men who had kidnapped him earlier.
Only now did he realize, as if waking from a dream, that the situation might not be as simple as he had thought.
So he composed himself.
She slowly raised her head, her sharp gaze fixed on Gu Xuan...
In an instant, his gaze was completely captivated!
Before them stood a young man dressed in a snow-white robe.
The man stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a handsome and dashing face, and a lively spirit between his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
With a high, straight nose and a slightly upturned lower lip, she exudes a subtle smile that instantly makes people feel close to her.
In particular, the ethereal and otherworldly aura surrounding him made him seem like an immortal descending to earth, or a figure stepping out of a painting.
The hem of her clothes moved even without wind, adding to her elegant and graceful appearance.
At this moment, the young man, who looked like an immortal, was smiling at him, his eyes shining with a gentle and bright light.
It seemed to have the ability to see through everything, yet it also carried a hint of unfathomable mystery.
