Chapter 269 The Martial World (Seventeen)
"He still has some things to take care of." Gu Yanjing tidied up the room and was just about to call Gu Congxin over when he saw Su Youyi, whom he had chased away before leaving, rolling back in.
"Master...who is she?" The young man's voice came in before he even entered. However, the young man stood at the door, staring blankly at the girl in the room who was also dressed in red and admiring her own beauty in a mirror.
Who is this?
Su Youyi was stunned. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind about his master starting to indulge in women and how to kill this woman.
Then, he quickly adjusted his state, looking aggrieved but holding back tears.
He asked the girls in the brothel, and they said that if the person they love also loves them, then showing weakness and grievances appropriately can soften their heart and make them stand on their side.
Su had a well-thought-out plan, but he didn't expect that what he was doing now was something that had already been played by the main characters.
As expected, Gu Yanjing appeared completely unfazed, casually straightening his sleeves and pointing at Su Youyi, saying to Zhang Ling'er, "This is your senior brother, Su Youyi."
Zhang Ling'er was also dumbfounded. Wasn't this her master's wife? Her appearance and aura were exactly the same as her master's wife's. She couldn't be mistaken.
"No, Master, this..." Zhang Ling'er pointed blankly at Su Youyi, then turned around and met Gu Yan's surprised gaze, and immediately shut her mouth.
She had a rough idea of what was going on.
I've heard that powerful beings in the celestial realm can use a wisp of their own aura to create an avatar, which will then enter the cycle of reincarnation in their place, or descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations.
This Su Youyi is clearly Lu Lingjun's alter ego.
Sure enough, Lu Lingjun, being such a petty person, could not possibly allow his master to face the turmoil of the mortal world alone in the lower realm.
"Master, didn't you say that I am your only disciple?" Although Gu Yanjing did not meet her expectations, Su Youyi still breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the girl's identity.
It doesn't have to be the teacher's wife.
"When did I ever say that?"
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Master clearly said that." Although Su Youyi didn't remember it either, it wasn't difficult to insist on it outright.
Zhang Ling'er stood aside watching the couple having so much fun. She really wanted to say that she was the master's only disciple, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that Gu Yanjing would beat her to death.
Waaah, she's the one who's been wronged the most, okay?
"Oh, then I've gone back on my word. This is your junior sister. She's new to the world and doesn't understand many things yet. Please take good care of her." Gu Yanjing was too lazy to deal with this brat who wanted to throw a tantrum. After pushing both of his disciples out the door, the world finally became quiet.
He had no idea how this group of troublemakers had all ended up around him.
After the two apprentices left, Gu Congxin, who was on the verge of death from Nan Wan'er's torment, came over again and cried and sobbed in front of him for a long time before she finally calmed down.
Gu Congxin: If even a word of comfort is gone, will all love disappear?
Gu Yanjing was finally able to rest in peace, but Zhang Ling'er, who was eating on the first floor of the inn, felt that her senior brother was staring at her without moving his eyes, as if he had cataracts.
"Senior brother, is there something wrong with your eyes?" Zhang Ling'er wasn't one to tolerate such behavior, so she swallowed the cabbage in her mouth and asked.
“**.” Su Youyi’s aura faltered, and his reply was dry.
"Why is Senior Brother staring at me like that? Could it be that you're attracted to my good looks?" Zhang Ling'er blinked her big eyes innocently and looked at Su Youyi.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Su Yiyou was furious when she first encountered such a bold woman.
"How could I be talking nonsense? I'm good-looking and in my prime, so it's perfectly normal for someone to fall in love with me at first sight."
"You call yourself good-looking?" Su Yiyou looked at Zhang Ling'er's face, then recalled Gu Yanjing's appearance, especially when he was drunk, and her heart beat faster than usual.
"How can you say I'm not beautiful? You must be blind to not see my beauty." Zhang Ling'er had a bad temper to begin with, and she only restrained herself a little when dealing with Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun, whom she couldn't beat.
However, this is just Lu Lingjun's clone, not the real person.
If Gu Congxin were here, he would definitely try to persuade this little girl.
After all, he had learned from past mistakes.
However, Gu Congxin was not in the mood, and Zhang Ling'er's arrogant and domineering nature came out. She was extremely sarcastic: "You must have fallen in love with Master, which is why you can't stand anyone else. But Master is someone you can covet."
The girl raised her chin, watching the boy's face change drastically and his panicked appearance. She felt even more pleased and, oblivious to the danger, spoke up again.
"By the way, senior brother probably doesn't know, but Master took me as his disciple three years ago. And I've been with Master's wife all this time. She only sent me here today."
The arrogant girl was smug and didn't care at all that the young man's eyes were red with anger.
He's just a mortal; how could he possibly turn the world upside down?
"What do you mean by that, Junior Sister? When did Master get another Master's Wife? Wasn't Master's Wife already dead?" Su Youyi gritted her teeth.
He didn't believe it. He couldn't believe that Gu Yanjing, whom he had guarded for so many years, would marry another woman.
"Oh, it seems that you really don't know, senior brother. You should be more careful. Your master's wife looks very much like you. Why don't you think about why your master chose your master's wife instead of you?"
Zhang Ling'er took a bite of food, gave Su Youyi a nasty look, and said, "Maybe it's because Senior Brother is a man. Of course, I was just saying that casually, don't take it seriously."
If you really believe it, you'd better castrate yourself as soon as possible.
Su Yiyou was devastated. He left with a dark face and a tense back, looking utterly lost.
Zhang Ling'er watched Su Youyi's departing figure and made a face at him.
She couldn't deal with Lu Lingjun, who was a Heavenly Emperor, but dealing with a mere clone was more than enough for her.
If anyone's to blame, it's Lu Lingjun for bullying her in the Heavenly Realm; she'll get her revenge on Su Youyi.
At worst, she'll just have to wait until Lu Lingjun comes and get a beating. Anyway, she's caused a lot of trouble since she was a child and is used to being disciplined.
Gu Yanjing, who was upstairs, saw all of this and, looking at the gathering dark clouds outside, did not stop the person.
As the master, he shouldn't interfere in matters between his disciples.
After all, he was a novice master on his journey and had no idea how to be a master.
Being a master is really difficult.
In the afternoon, as expected, a heavy rain began to fall from the sky, and the sky darkened. Gu Yanjing was awakened by the sound of thunder and rain. He sat up with a yawn, but suddenly smelled the fishy smell of water in the air.
He reached out and lifted the bed curtain, and sure enough, he saw the young man kneeling beside his bed.
The little girl was soaked to the bone, her face was deathly pale from the cold, and her eyes were red and swollen. She looked very pitiful.
Seemingly noticing Gu Yanjing's gaze, the young man involuntarily shivered.
"Master," Su Yiyou said, his voice hoarse.
"What are you doing? Why are you so upset in this rainy weather? Why are you ruining yourself?" Gu Yanjing hung up the scattered bed curtains, thought for a moment, and then draped the blanket he was wearing over Su Youyi over himself.
The blanket, still carrying Gu Yanjing's scent, enveloped the young man, and the warmth made Su Youyi burst into tears.
"Master." The young girl lay on Gu Yanjing's lap, her hands still wrapped around his thighs, crying loudly.
"Let's talk things out." Gu Yanjing forced himself not to laugh.
When will Lu Lingjun be able to hug his leg and cry his heart out? That would be a novel experience.
"Master, please don't abandon me, okay? I was wrong, I will never offend you again." Su Yiyou rested his head on Gu Yanjing's lap, and through the thin clothes, he could feel the burning heat of Gu Yanjing's body.
It made him want to get close, to possess, and to obtain it without hesitation.
"Hmm, let's talk about it after you let go." Gu Yanjing recalled what Zhang Ling'er had said to Su Youyi that morning, which was indeed quite excessive. His heart softened a little, and he patted the boy's wet head to comfort him.
"Master, please forgive me." The young man clung to the leg and wouldn't let go, taking advantage of the situation to grab the hand that was resting on his head.
Her hands were warm, even hotter than his.
I want to get closer and closer.
"Okay." Gu Yanjing let him pull her along, not taking the matter to heart.
Unexpectedly, the young man seemed to suddenly unleash his wolfish nature, abruptly throwing off the covers and leaping up to pounce on him.
Gu Yan was shocked. He never imagined that he would be outmaneuvered by a crying, weak little brat.
Not only were they scheming against them, but they were also completely devoured.
"Master, Master, Master..."
The chanting echoed in his ears like a mantra, making Gu Yan's head ache.
"Heh, shut up." Gu Yanjing was almost out of breath from the shock. He wanted to kick the person off him, but he was too weak to move and could only endure more of the storm.
"Disciple wants to know Master's name. Master, please tell me, okay?" Su Youyi kissed Gu Yanjing's earlobe, but that wasn't enough, so she went even further.
"Shut up, don't say anything." Gu Yanjing was unsettled by this wolf cub's teasing.
Damn it, get to work, stop babbling.
He's already out of breath, how can he possibly babble about names?
"Master, please tell me, please have pity on me." Su Youyi suddenly stopped, looking at Gu Yanjing expectantly, as if he wouldn't continue unless Gu Yanjing told him.
Poor Gu Yanjing was in the eye of the storm. He struggled angrily but couldn't break free. He was basically out of the question of self-reliance, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Gu Yanjing, hurry up and stop dawdling."
What's the point of all this fancy stuff? The result is still the same.
"Alright, disciple will give it to Master right away." Su Yiyou kissed away the tears that had been forced out of Gu Yanjing's eyes and leaned forward.
In the celestial realm, Lu Lingjun sensed the misdeeds of his clone. Although it was all himself, he couldn't help but crush the jade cup in his hand, startling the Northern Pine Immortal sitting beside him.
He was only sent by the Python King to make peace today, so how did he anger His Majesty Lingjun?
However, before he could figure out exactly where he had offended Lu Lingjun, he saw Lu Lingjun get up, walk out of the main hall, and then disappear into the celestial realm.
The way they're rushing around like this makes it seem like they're going to catch someone cheating.
Gu Yanjing knew many times that Lu Lingjun was not a human being, but he never expected that Lu Lingjun could be this inhuman.
Lu Lingjun and Su Youyi were both surprisingly...
Gu Yanjing angrily smashed the bowl in his hand, splashing soup all over his foot, making him so angry that his face turned black.
Meanwhile, Su Youyi is currently at someone's house. She's probably been caught in the rain and then had some kind of... well, you know. After Lu Lingjun altered her memories, she's running a high fever and looks like she's about to go crazy from the heat.
Gu Yanjing thought for a moment and then asked Gu Congxin to call Tuntian to take a look.
As for whether Devouring Heaven can be seen, that depends on the will of Heaven; he doesn't care.
Lu Lingjun wasn't in the room either. He knew he had done something wrong and didn't dare to provoke Gu Yanjing, so he went downstairs to find Zhang Ling'er.
They had booked the inn, and now the waiters downstairs were all gone. Zhang Ling'er was the only one there, leaning against the window watching people come and go outside, looking at them with a curious, unsuspecting expression.
The girl turned around when she heard the voice, and seeing who it was, she thought it was Su Youyi and smiled smugly: "Oh, it's Senior Brother! Why are you coming downstairs? Did you just go to ask Master about Master's wife?"
Lu Lingjun chuckled as he looked at the girl's cheeky, provocative manner. "You're quite the troublemaker." He had just looked at the memories on his clone's body, and Zhang Ling'er was largely responsible for this incident. He should thank her properly.
The blue-robed emperor smiled with a gentle and refined air, a quality that Su Youyi, that gloomy young man, would never possess.
Instantly, the smile on Zhang Ling'er's face vanished, replaced by a crying expression in a matter of seconds.
She knew she would be punished, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly, so quickly that she almost lost half her life.
In the evening, Lu Lingjun left, Su Youyi woke up, and Zhang Ling'er was still kneeling below, with a washboard under her knees and a blue and white porcelain vase above her head. It has to be said that kneeling like that is a very difficult position.
Gu Yan was still shocked, but he couldn't bear to see his disciple kneeling like that, so he sent a telepathic message to her to get up and go find Nan Wan'er to play.
With a pained expression, Zhang Ling'er put down the blue-and-white porcelain vase on her head. Her hands were sore and weak. She wanted to stand up and sit for a while, but found that her legs were numb and she couldn't get up.
*Sobbing*
Suddenly I feel like my life is so difficult.
It seems that Gu Yanjing had a change of heart and sent a telepathic message to Nan Wan'er, asking her to come and pick up Zhang Ling'er.
At this moment, only Gu Yanjing and Su Youyi remained in the entire inn.
When Su Youyi woke up, his body was still burning hot, and his fever had not subsided. Although Tuntian came, he forced himself to give him a bowl of medicine that he did not know contained poison.
However, it's useless, at most it won't kill anyone.
"Master." Su Yiyou found the food that the shopkeeper had left on the stove before leaving the kitchen, and carefully brought it to Gu Yanjing to apologize.
