Chapter 258 The Martial World (Part Six)
But why is Lu Lingjun's clone following His Majesty?
How annoying, I don't even have a chance to get close to His Majesty.
Gu Congxin huddled dejectedly in the grass, watching His Majesty depart into the distance. After thinking for a moment, he still followed after him with a scurrying gait.
Gu Congxin squatted at the door of Gu Yanjing's house, finally waiting for Gu Yanjing to get up.
"Good morning, Your Majesty." Gu Congxin squatted at the door, looking up at the incomparably handsome man.
That's it, good looks can no longer hide how wicked Gu Yanjing is in his heart.
"What, you've figured it out?" Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes and looked at the little parrot on the ground.
I don't know what happened last night, but the little thing even lost the feathers on its head.
Gu Congxin: He would never say that he was run over by a dog for three miles, or that he was carried by a dog and made to run around the yard three times.
"I've figured it out. I'm His Majesty's little system. Wherever His Majesty goes, I'll go." Gu Congxin quickly squatted down at Gu Yanjing's feet, knowing that he was dirty, and didn't dare to rub against him.
He was afraid of being kicked two miles away again, and it would be tiring for his short legs to run back.
"He's quite obedient now that he's not being pretentious." Gu Yan nodded and went to the front.
Everyone in the courtyard was punished by Su Youyi yesterday, and then a new group of people was replaced. It was all arranged by Su Youyi, and they are probably all his spies.
Gu Yanjing didn't bother to care, but surprisingly, no one came in to help her wash up this morning, and even breakfast was skipped.
It seems it's time to give that brat a good talking-to again, to make him focus more on the right path and stop worrying about his health.
However, when Gu Yanjing opened the door, he immediately saw the young man outside carrying a basin.
"Master is awake. This disciple will help Master wash up." Su Youyi smiled when he saw Gu Yan come out in surprise.
Gu Yan, who was laughing, felt like he was a bone that a dog was eyeing.
"How come it's you? Are all the servants inside dead?" Gu Yanjing had a headache.
Gu Congxin huddled in a corner, silently watching the show.
His will to survive is even stronger now than before.
"No, this disciple only wanted to fulfill his filial duty to Master. With so many burdens, this disciple has only been focused on cultivation and has not had the opportunity to repay Master's kindness in raising him." Su Youyi stood at the door without moving, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Yanjing.
"Hehe, come in." Gu Yanjing turned around and went into the house.
Su intentionally lagged behind by two steps, following behind Gu Yanjing.
Gu Congxin looked at Su Youyi's surprised gaze towards Gu Yanjing and thought, "Wow, that's just...unbelievable."
After Su Youyi helped Gu Yanjing wash up, she also accompanied Gu Yanjing to have breakfast. Gu Yanjing dutifully inquired about Su Youyi's cultivation level and, under the guise of giving him pointers, beat Su Youyi up.
After finishing the beating, he was too lazy to watch the martial arts tournament today. He would go tomorrow. He had a feeling that his adopted son, the male lead Feng Lanzhi, would cause trouble.
Sure enough, on the third day, near the end, Feng Lan went on stage, but he wore a mask to conceal his appearance, as if he didn't want anyone to know who he was.
Gu Yanjing sat in the main seat, looking down at the defiant young man who was challenging him, and chuckled: "Disciple, go and subdue him."
He's just a little kid, yet he dares to be arrogant in front of him.
Su Yiyou stood up and bowed to Gu Yanjing: "Yes, Master. This disciple will go immediately and will certainly not disappoint Master."
He wants this champion today.
He remembered that the prize for the champion of this martial arts tournament was a promise made by Gu Yanjing.
Indeed, no one in the martial arts world knew why Gu Yanjing would offer such a reward, but it was extremely tempting.
Even if the leader of the number one martial arts sect made a promise that he couldn't violate the code of the martial world or use the power of the Phoenix Cry Sect, he was still a big shot even without using the power of the Phoenix Cry Sect.
Su wanted that promise so that even if things got to the point of no return, he could beg Gu Yanjing to give him a way out, or even just a chance.
Gu Yan was shocked: He was originally stingy and planned to kill the person who got the promise later, but in the end, his own apprentice got it and even wanted to do this and that to him...
Damn.
Feng Lanzhi quickly left. Su Youyi was trained by Gu Yanjing, so how could she be compared to Feng Lanzhi, who was raised by Bai Mengxian?
Su Youyi's skill level was undeniable; many of the older generation probably couldn't beat him. Some of the younger disciples went up to challenge him a few times, and then lost quite easily.
Su Yiyou returned quickly, and Shao* came with a sword in hand, kneeling before Gu Yanjing.
"Master, this disciple has not disgraced you." The young master looked up at his master, his clear eyes revealing a mixture of filial piety and admiration.
The elders and sect leaders on the side smiled and congratulated Gu Yanjing on having a talented disciple, saying that the Fengming Sect had a worthy successor.
At this moment, no one would mention Feng Lanzhi, who had long been despised and had even disappeared from the martial arts world, but was the real son of the person in front of them.
The position belongs to them, and so does the disciple. Why should they care whether they give the position to their disciple or their son? As long as they are happy.
"Well done, get up." Gu Yanjing nodded in satisfaction.
Although I don't really like the way the little guy looks at me, he's still the thing I raised.
Hmm, not bad.
"Can I accept Master's promise?" Upon hearing this, Su Youyi couldn't help but laugh heartily, completely forgetting his old Chengdu ways, acting like a true fifteen-year-old boy.
“If you won it back, then it’s naturally yours.” Gu Yanjing nodded.
Oh, what a perfect opportunity to renege on the debt! Why did this brat ask in public? Are you afraid he'll renege?
Oh.
"Then this disciple thanks Master." Su Youyi bowed to Gu Yanjing again.
"What kind of promise do you want?" Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes and told him to stand up.
Everyone around him was praising their deep bond as master and disciple, saying he had a great apprentice, which gave him a headache.
"This disciple hasn't decided yet. I'll come back to tell Master when I've thought it through." Su Yiyou returned to Gu Yanjing's side, her voice soft and carrying a different meaning.
The conference ended today. Those who could leave have left, and those who couldn't leave that night spent the night at Fengming Gate.
That very night, a major event occurred, and those who remained were privy to some juicy gossip. However, when the group left the next day, they kept their mouths tightly shut, and no one dared to utter a single word.
However, not long after the martial arts tournament, news spread from the Phoenix Cry Sect that the sect leader's wife, Bai Mengxian, and her young master had died in a fire.
These two were completely unknown in the martial arts world. Now that something has happened to them, it reminds people that the master of Fengming Sect only has one wife and one son.
However, what is intriguing is Feng Wuyai's attitude towards these two. After they died, Feng Wuyai not only held a grand ceremony, but also held a lavish funeral. No one ever saw their bodies.
If outsiders hadn't witnessed the fire at the mountain resort and made inquiries, no one would have known what had happened.
However, while the Phoenix Cry Sect lost two people, the sect leader gained a wife and also found a fifteen-year-old son, whom he named Mo Lan.
However, this newly emerged son was not well received by Mo Qilan. Although Mo Qilan had Bai Mengxian in his heart, he was already fifteen years old, and he could not live with just a shadow in his heart.
It wasn't just that he had a young master named Mo Lan; in fact, he had five sons, eight daughters, and countless concubines.
Gu Yanjing looked at the message sent back by his subordinates and was relieved to learn that his unfilial son was not doing well over there.
However, looking back at his troublesome apprentice, he suddenly felt uneasy, as if he were being targeted by a wolf.
Furthermore, there was no peace at night either. That piece of trash, Lu Lingjun, was taking up more and more of the clone's time. He even started to get jealous of the clone, and they each went about their own business and caused trouble at night.
This caused Gu Yanjing to have trouble sleeping at night and lack energy during the day. He couldn't handle Su Youyi, that little brat, and was also bullied by her.
This was simply unbearable, so he simply told the outside world and went into seclusion with Gu Congxin.
Sure enough, it's so nice to be alone and have some peace and quiet.
And with the cell phone Gu Congxin provided, I can watch short videos and read novels—how comfortable!
It's a bit of a shame that I can't play games.
Time flies, and it's already the 50s. The male lead's storyline has officially begun.
Su wanted to go out on business, so Gu Yanjing tidied herself up and went with her.
In the main storyline, he also went out to meet friends, taking Su Youyi and Feng Lanzhi with him. Then, Feng Lanzhi met Nan Wan'er in Suzhou, and together they offended the imperial court, almost provoking the court to carry out a purge of the martial arts world.
Enraged, Feng Wuyai severely punished Feng Lanzhi, causing Feng Lanzhi to harbor resentment towards Feng Wuyai, which foreshadowed the male protagonist's later descent into darkness.
Ultimately, it was Feng Lanzhi's character that was flawed; he was corrupted from the very beginning. Feng Wuyai had raised so many people like Feng Lanzhi, yet he only punished him once, and Feng Lanzhi held a grudge ever since. In fact, he later destroyed the Fengming Sect because of it.
Gu Yanjing arrived and lost all interest in visiting his old friends. It was just a bald guy from Shaolin Temple. What kind of place is Shaolin Temple? You can't even get a bite of meat there. He must be crazy to go back there.
He wanted to go to a brothel, to see pretty young girls, and to hear them sing him erotic songs in their soft, sweet voices.
Even if I can't necessarily touch a young girl, it's still good to look.
Thus, Nan Wan'er nervously received Gu Yanjing, who had come from afar, in the brothel, and endured Su Youyi's razor-sharp gaze.
The girl shrank back, almost crying.
Waaah, she didn't even choose this reception place, why are they bullying her? She wants to go find Tuntian, she needs Tuntian to kiss her, hug her, and lift her up high before she feels better.
"Sect Master, it's not appropriate for a young lady like me to come to this place. My master will beat me. Should I leave now?"
Nan Wan'er slowly moved to the doorway, her smile appearing very forced.
She wanted to slip away.
Su's eyes lit up.
It's good that he's gone. Master had too much to drink. He's always been easy to talk to, so he can take Master back on his own now.
“It would be the same if you called your master over.” Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes, listening to the girl’s soft yet wanton melody, which directly extinguished Nan Wan’er’s thought of running away.
Su Youyi's gaze was like a knife directed at Nan Wan'er.
Nan Wan'er: ......
Nan Wan'er shivered: "Then should I go back and call my master?"
Gu Yan shook his head: "No need, I've already notified him, he'll be here in a bit."
Nan Wan'er: ...I have no will to live.
Tuntian didn't want to come; if he did, he would be easily taken advantage of, and his innocence would be in jeopardy.
But His Majesty gave the order, so he had no choice but to come.
When Nan Wan'er saw Tun Tian enter, she felt as if she had found a savior and immediately threw herself into Tun Tian's arms.
"Husband, you're finally here." Nan Wan'er nestled in Tun Tian's arms, rubbing against him.
The girls watching were all laughing.
"Why did the young lady go to the brothel and not want male prostitutes, but instead called her husband?"
"That's right, that's right, but they think my young master from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion isn't handsome enough or gentle enough."
Tuntian blushed as the girls laughed at him, while Nan Wan'er poked her head out of Tuntian's arms with a fierce expression.
"No matter how handsome or gentle someone is, can they be as handsome and gentle as my Tuntian? My Tuntian is the second most handsome person in the world."
The girl asked with a smile, "Then who is the most beautiful person?"
Nan Wan'er said confidently, "Of course it's me."
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Gu Yanjing beside her. Seeing that Gu Yanjing didn't say anything, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, His Majesty didn't blame her, hehe.
"Master, please drink less. This wine has a strong aftereffect. Master, please don't get drunk." Su Youyi sat down next to Gu Yanjing. They said they came to drink and have fun, but one of the girls next to them was drunk, while on the other side, the girls were singing, dancing, and playing around, making a lot of noise.
"It's alright, I have nothing to do today, so it's good to get drunk." Gu Yanjing waved away Su Youyi's hand that was blocking his wine pot and poured himself another cup.
I secluded myself in a quiet room for five days, and even the most sedentary person can't stand it anymore.
Fortunately, we've reached the main storyline, so we can finally go out and have some fun.
"Alright, if Master is drunk, this disciple will take Master back." A glint flashed in Su Youyi's eyes, but in the end, he still tried to stop him.
The girls watched the two men and continued to joke around, but some of them whispered among themselves.
"I guess this young master must admire his master."
"Of course, look at the way the young master looks at us, he's so fierce."
"Oh dear, young master, did you hear that? Are you looking at us?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking, let's not cause trouble."
The girls chatted amongst themselves, putting the topic to rest.
Su looked nervously at Gu Yanjing beside her, only to find that Gu Yanjing was starting to get slightly tipsy. He was resting his chin on one hand, looking at the girl singing opposite him, while holding a wine glass in the other hand, taking sips from time to time, making his vermilion lips moist.
I really want to kiss him.
The Master overheard what those women said.
He wanted his master to hear and understand his intentions, but he was also afraid that if his master heard them, he would be expelled from the sect.
The master didn't speak; he probably didn't hear it.
"Master?" Su Youyi stared at those moist lips, his heart burning with desire, unable to suppress it.
