Chapter 257 The Martial World (Part 4)
So fat, yeah. How come the big boss's memory is even more troublesome than when he had memories?
"Your Majesty." Tuntian held Nan Wan'er and smiled ingratiatingly.
Her aloof persona has completely crumbled.
There was no other way; it was brought by Nan Wan'er.
"What are you two doing back here?" Gu Yanjing called the two of them out.
Tuntian and Nanwan'er obediently came out, and when they jumped, they bumped into Gu Congxin, making his bird head dizzy.
"Well, I'm out of money, so I came back to ask His Majesty for some travel expenses." Tuntian smiled sheepishly at Gu Yanjing.
"Your Majesty, we don't need much, just ten taels of silver will do. We'll come back in five days to see you participate in the main storyline."
Nan Wan'er also came over and blinked her eyes at Gu Yanjing in a flattering manner.
"You guys really dare to ask for money. You didn't come back for five days, and the first thing you do is ask me for money. What, is your Divine Doctor Valley so poor that you can't even afford to cook?"
Gu Yan was amused by their back-and-forth banter.
It's a real loss to the crosstalk world that this couple doesn't perform crosstalk anymore.
"Whether Divine Doctor Valley is poor or not has nothing to do with me, Your Majesty. I haven't dared to go back to Divine Doctor Valley for the past few days. I'm afraid that if I go back, a bunch of people will come to me for treatment, and then I'll kill them. The doctor-patient relationship is so tense these days. Everyone is putting up bounty notices all the time. I'm afraid of being hunted down."
Tuntian remained silent, somewhat embarrassed.
After all, asking someone for money and expecting a man to support her family makes her look like a freeloader.
Well, two bites, not counting Gu Congxin.
Gu Congxin: I'll f*** you.
But Nan Wan'er is shameless. She dragged Gu Congxin to Gu Yanjing's side in no time, practically clinging to his leg.
She's right. Doctor-patient relationships have always been tense; it could even lead to death.
Although she still carries the protagonist's luck and won't be in any trouble, there's also the Devourer of Heaven. If her husband gets into trouble, wouldn't that mean she'll be in trouble too?
"Your Majesty, don't give them money. They're using your money to eat, drink, and have fun, never taking you or me with them. You can't keep indulging these two scoundrels like this."
Gu Congxin struggled to get off Nan Wan'er's feet, his body covered in dirt and looking utterly disheveled.
The feathers on its head were also teetering on the brink of falling, but it still loyally tattled on Gu Yanjing.
Nan Wan'er turned around, her face dark, and shoved Gu Congxin's head to the ground, pinning it down tightly. Then she looked at Gu Yanjing again.
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of **, Tuntian and I have been living a very hard life these past few days, enduring wind and rain, often eating only pickled vegetables and radishes, and frequently going hungry or full. We only came back to you because we were truly out of money to survive."
Nan Wan'er pressed Gu Congxin down with one hand, took out a handkerchief with the other, covered her face, and pretended to cry.
Gu Yanjing did not answer.
Nan Wan'er felt a little embarrassed and secretly nudged the Devouring Sky beside her.
"Swallowing the heavens, don't you think so?"
Tuntian glanced at Gu Yanjing, who seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, then looked at his wife. Then, without hesitation, he nodded.
“Yes, Wan’er is right.”
Gu Yanjing was so angry that he laughed.
You couldn't tell this couple was a couple before, but now they're definitely not the same kind of people; they're not from the same family anymore.
"Take the jade pendant and go back to the accounting office to get one tael of silver. Once you've collected the silver, get out of here." Gu Yanjing casually tossed a jade pendant into Tuntian's arms.
Gu Congxin struggled and tried to stay by Gu Yanjing's side, but Gu Yanjing ignored him the whole time.
No, he didn't want to be with those two dogs anymore; it was torture.
"Your Majesty, could my wife and I stay a few more days to watch the Martial Arts Tournament? I've lived through several worlds and never seen what a Martial Arts Tournament is like. Have you never seen one either, Devouring Heaven?"
Nan Wan'er tugged at Tun Tian's sleeve again, signaling him to say something.
Devouring Heaven nodded.
“Yes, Wan’er is right, I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
"Whatever." Gu Yanjing looked at the two people's **, which were almost overflowing the top of the bowl. They were really annoying.
After saying that, he turned and left.
Another day of being bombarded with insults.
The martial arts tournament was held in the training ground in front of Fengming Gate. All the major sects came. Fengming Gate, as the number one sect in the world, governs the entire martial arts world, although it is said from the outside that the five major sects work together to manage the martial arts world.
However, in the end, apart from the ** (likely referring to a specific group or organization), the martial arts world is entirely dominated by the Phoenix Cry Sect.
Gu Yanjing arrived late, so no one in the younger generation dared to start the martial arts competition.
Su Youyi sat to Gu Yanjing's left. In the martial arts world, the left is considered superior, and as a young man, he directly suppressed most of the older generation of martial arts sects.
That's power; he was born above so many people.
No, this wasn't something he was born with; it was given to him by his master.
Everything he has was given to him by his master.
"Master, shall we begin?" Su Youyi stood up, and behind him, countless others also stood up.
The group of people respectfully addressed Sect Master Feng.
Only Su Youyi, only he, was the one who could call him Master.
"Let's begin, you take the lead." Gu Yanjing sat down, nodded, and gestured for everyone to sit down.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to secretly watch the man in the seat of honor.
There hasn't been much news about this person in the martial arts world lately; it's said that he's been staying in the Phoenix Cry Sect to train disciples.
But is this a thirty-five-year-old? Why do they all look like half-old men, while this person looks like a twenty-year-old young man, or even better looking than countless twenty-year-old young men?
Go to the number one beauty in the martial arts world, this one is the real number one beauty in the world, what is Bai Mengxian compared to her?
"Yes," Su replied, then went to preside over the opening ceremony of the conference.
Gu Yanjing sipped his tea, squinting to adjust to the glaring sunlight, watching the young man calmly and maturely deal with the various sects. For some reason, he felt a little proud.
This is the little brat he raised. Although he's always been thinking about him, he's still a good kid.
After Su Yiyou returned from dealing with the various sects, she looked at Gu Yanjing, who had only drunk half of his tea, and asked, "Master, is the tea I brewed delicious?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanjing swallowed again and nodded, "Okay."
Su smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Master. I will cook it for you often in the future."
Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes and put down his teacup: "The tea is good, but something that shouldn't have been put in it was added. Be more careful in the future."
Su Youyi's smile froze: "Master's advice is correct."
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, five or six different challengers had already taken their places in the next round of challenges.
The martial arts tournament is a place where you have to be helpless. No matter if you go on stage first or last, as long as you are the last one standing, you are number one.
It's important to understand that this period is a break time. In other words, even if the previous person exhausts the defender, as long as you go up next and knock them off, you are the winner.
This has led many people to have wicked ideas, specifically targeting those disciples from major sects who are exhausted, and then going out to boast about their victory over so-and-so in order to gain fame.
This has led to the current situation where, although the martial arts tournament is held once every five years for three days, there are basically no powerful disciples from major sects to be seen on the first two days.
They always save their moves for last.
"Master, are those two the same two people you just met?"
Su remained silent for a moment, then her gaze fell upon the couple who were quietly hiding behind them.
The couple even wore two masks mysteriously; if Su hadn't recognized their clothes, she probably wouldn't have been able to tell them apart.
Yes, these two really look like disciples of a certain sect.
"Yes." Gu Yanjing nodded.
"Who are they?" Su asked, feeling both unwilling and jealous.
It seems that there are many people he doesn't know and many secrets he doesn't know.
Just like the man who left marks on his master, just like these two strangers of unknown origin.
But what he wanted was everything from his master.
"Didn't you see him before? The divine doctor and his apprentice." Gu Yan chuckled. This little brat was even jealous of him. What a dog.
"It's them? It's strange, they were all fine inside the sect, why did they suddenly leave? Is it because of Junior Brother?"
Su suddenly realized that she remembered these two people.
It was indeed the divine physician from Divine Physician Valley who, along with his young apprentice, took over the Phoenix Cry Gate. Then, one night, he suddenly left without warning.
"No, it has nothing to do with him. It was the divine physician who had evil thoughts and fell in love with his little apprentice. He didn't want his apprentice to be scorned by the world, so he took his little apprentice and ran away overnight. He didn't even dare to return to the Valley of Divine Physicians."
Gu Yanjing glanced at the couple below, who were so bundled up that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them, and a smile crept onto his lips. A sensational story was thus conceived.
Nan Wan'er/Tuntian: I am not your **, Your Majesty, spreading rumors is punishable by law.
"So that's how it is. If you love each other, then stay together, living in anonymity and spending your lives together, it doesn't seem so bad." Su Yiyou understood, looking at the master and disciple below, and then at herself and Gu Yanjing beside her.
Suddenly, she realized that she and Gu Yanjing were just like Tuntian and Nan Wan'er.
Immediately, Su Youyi felt a sense of empathy.
"Not bad?" Gu Yanjing saw through this little scheme perfectly and couldn't help but sneer.
"What, does Master dislike the master-disciple relationship?" Su Youyi felt a chill in her heart, and her face turned somewhat pale.
"Master and disciple are inherently bound by fate, what is there to talk about in staying together?" Gu Yanjing sneered, watching the young man's face turn pale inch by inch, he almost couldn't help but laugh.
Small piece of trash.
"Does Master dislike master-disciple relationships so much that he considers them immoral? What if one of your disciples admires you?" Su Youyi's voice was a little hoarse.
Even, it exudes tension.
"Then naturally I'll strip him of all his martial arts skills, expel him from the sect, and never see him again. What, you have designs on your master?" Gu Yan glanced at the young man beside him in surprise.
Whether it was a survival instinct or something else, Shao immediately shook his head in denial, forcing a smile: "Disciple Shao, how could Master think such a thing?"
So Master didn't like it after all?
The Master regarded this as **.
Does that mean I'll never be able to be with my master in this lifetime, and never be able to replace that man?
Suddenly I feel so unwilling.
Why can everyone else do it but he can't? Is it just because of the master-disciple relationship?
If he is no longer Master's disciple, then would that be alright?
"Aren't you my only disciple? Your question makes me think too much." Gu Yanjing still sneered.
Below, Tuntian and Nanwan'er looked up to watch the show, seeing Gu Yanjing completely outmaneuvering Su Youyi.
Tsk tsk tsk, Lu Lingjun has been through so much, when has he ever been played like this? It really is true, the tables have turned.
"Sigh, it was definitely the right thing to stay. This show is so entertaining, much more fun than the girls in the brothel." Nan Wan'er ate melon seeds and leaned against Tun Tian's chest.
The people around silently made way for them, considering it inappropriate for these idiots to be pulling and shoving each other in broad daylight.
"Don't go to brothels next time. Even if you do, don't take me with you. It's too dangerous." Upon hearing this, Tuntian paused, feeling deeply wronged.
In other families, the husband goes to a brothel and the wife catches him in the act with a knife. But in their case, Nan Wan'er dragged him to a brothel, and he almost got harassed by the girls there.
Nan Wan'er, that heartless woman, not only didn't protect him, but also laughed on the side, laughing with unparalleled joy.
"Tuntian, listen to my advice. You can't be with a woman who frequents brothels. If she can go to a brothel today, she can go to a male prostitute tomorrow. Then you'll be cuckolded, and you won't be able to get rid of the green hat."
Gu Congxin lay down at the feet of the two people, relentlessly trying to sow discord between them.
Nan Wan'er stomped down and almost broke Gu Congxin's bird neck.
"What business is it of yours what we two have to do with each other? Just stay put." After saying that, Nan Wan'er pulled Tun Tian's hand again: "Then next time we won't go to brothels, let's go to the palace instead."
As for the essential money-making skills, fighting skills, and palace intrigue, court intrigue, and domestic intrigue skills that a time-traveling woman must possess.
After Nan Wan'er was killed by Gu Yanjing in the first plane with high morale, she never rose again.
With a snap, it went out completely, leaving not a single spark.
She learned from that time that following Gu Yanjing around and living a life of leisure was the most comfortable thing to do.
"Alright, if you want to go, I'll pretend to be a half-immortal and act as the imperial advisor." Tuntian affectionately rubbed Nan Wan'er's little head.
No matter what Nan Wan'er wanted to do, he would accompany her, except for going to brothels and male prostitutes.
The main problem is that he is very dangerous.
Gu Congxin ate a mouthful of dirt and a bellyful of dust. Feeling miserable, he dug himself out of the hole under Nan Wan'er's feet. Then, while the two were being affectionate, he bit through the rope and quietly ran towards Gu Yanjing.
The morning session of the first day of the martial arts tournament was about to end, and Gu Congxin squatted down on the path that Gu Yanjing would inevitably take to go back to rest.
He had had enough of the miserable life with Nan Wan'er. He missed His Majesty. Even though he was scolded and bullied every day, at least it was only in a spiritual sense.
Unlike Nan Wan'er, who suffered both mental and physical torment, with Tuntian aiding and abetting her evil deeds.
Damn it, what a jerk.
