Gong Yu's sympathetic gaze was all too obvious.
This instantly set off alarm bells in Lu Shiyan's mind.
"Brother Yu..." Lu Shiyan began, his words hitting the nail on the head, "I think there's something off about the way you're looking at me?"
"Is...is there?" Gong Yu's eyes darted around for a moment, then he turned his body around, facing away from them. "I just felt that you all looked a little too pitiful. Thinking that it was our ancestor who intervened, I felt guilty, so I was a little afraid to face you..."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
I believed your lies.
It seems...
The road ahead won't be smooth, so he needs to be extra careful.
Although Gong Yu's words sounded somewhat high-sounding, he did know Gong Yu to some extent.
"Don't we need to take the things out of the car?" Seeing Gong Yu leading the group away, Lu Shiyan thought for a moment and asked again.
Gong Yu paused, his voice slightly unsteady, "Let's go inside first. Once you've gained the approval of your master, fellow disciples, and the entire sect, you can present it as a gift."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
While this statement is correct, it carries an eerie feeling.
Fine, this is their territory anyway, so whatever they say goes.
Following Gong Yu inside, Gong Yu walked rather quickly.
He walked three meters ahead of the others and began to introduce the environment of his sect to them.
Their sect was located on a mountain, and it was also a rather ancient and rustic residence.
It is a very large Chinese-style courtyard house, covering a huge area.
It is also a building that Fuying is relatively familiar with.
Although it is very different from where she originally lived.
but……
She still felt a sense of familiarity with the ancient buildings.
that is……
Fu Ying suddenly took a step back, her body leaping into the air to dodge the basin of water that was falling from the sky.
Lu Shiyan, who was prepared, quickly dodged and didn't get a drop of water on him.
Only Lu Jiming, who looked completely bewildered, was drenched by the basin of water.
He became a real drowned rat, the poor thing.
Lu Shiyan glanced at Lu Jiming with disdain and said dismissively, "You're so lax. Where did your vigilance go?"
Lu Jiming: "..."
He was curious about this place, so naturally his attention was focused on the scenery inside the Xuanmen.
Moreover, this kind of place is very mysterious to him. Wouldn't it be a waste not to take a closer look?
Who would have thought...
And so a whole basin of water was poured on it.
Waaaaah...
“Master, this…” Lu Jiming looked at Gong Yu pitifully.
Gong Yu originally intended to make Lu Shiyan suffer.
It's also a chance to test his alertness and keenness.
After all, to become their junior brother-in-law, one needs to be alert and perceptive; otherwise, it won't work.
But who could have imagined that in the end, only his apprentice would be the one to fall victim?
What's the difference between this and slapping himself in the face?
Gong Yu felt a little aggrieved for a moment.
Before Lu Jiming could process the intricacies of the situation, he continued to ask Gong Yu with a pained expression, "Master, do you have any clothes for me to change into?"
This is Master's sect, so there must be a place where Master lives here.
so……
Finding one or two pieces of clothing that he can wear would be fine, wouldn't it?
Although he brought a few sets of clothes with him, they are all in the car now, so it's not practical to go and get them.
"Change what?" Gong Yu snorted, his face cold. "This is a test given to you by your sect. Look at your uncle and Fu Ying, and then look at yourself... Why don't you reflect on why they are both fine, but you are the one who got hit?"
Lu Jiming: "..."
"You think you can change your clothes like this?" Gong Yu sneered again. "Just stay dressed like this!"
Lu Jiming: "???"
How could you possibly say such cold words with a mouth that's only 37 degrees Celsius?
Even though he was furious inside, Lu Jiming had no choice but to admit it on the surface.
Master is right...
It was clearly targeted at three people, but he was the only one who got caught. He really should reflect on his actions.
I'm so tired.
Jiang Li was unaware of Lu Jiming's thoughts; if she had known, she would have felt immense sympathy for him.
It's truly pathetic to be cannon fodder without even realizing it.
And so, we continued walking in.
Having had their first experience, Lu Shiyan and Fu Ying were even more cautious on their subsequent journey.
so……
They didn't fall for any of those tricks.
Lu Jiming, on the other hand, became a complete victim of injustice.
Gong Yu's face turned so dark that it was unbearable to look at.
Is this meant to embarrass Lu Shiyan?
No!
This is making Gong Yu lose face!
He finally managed to take on a disciple, and on his first visit to the sect, this is how he slapped his master in the face!
That's so embarrassing!
Actually, Lu Jiming can't be blamed for this.
Rather, it was because the subsequent tests became increasingly difficult; he discovered many of them, but relied on his own skills...
He couldn't avoid it at all.
They could only watch helplessly as they fell victim to the virus.
That feeling...
It was actually quite desperate.
Even without Gong Yu saying anything to him, Lu Jiming had already become withdrawn.
Jiang Li walked up to him, wanting to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but when she saw his dirty appearance, she withdrew her hand.
"This is your first time here too, it's normal that you don't understand many things," Jiang Li comforted Lu Jiming, then continued, "Just be more careful next time."
Lu Jiming's eyes widened, and his voice rose a few decibels, "What? There's a next time?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Li coughed lightly, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue... You'll only get this kind of treatment the first time you enter the sect, it won't happen again..."
However, after this one time, Lu Jiming probably won't want to come again.
after all……
If she were treated like that, she would probably develop psychological trauma.
Lu Jiming was a little skeptical. "Is this really true?"
"Of course." Jiang Li nodded solemnly.
What she didn't dare say was that Lu Jiming received this treatment entirely thanks to Lu Shiyan.
If those people hadn't deliberately made things difficult for Ayan, Lu Jiming wouldn't have suffered this misfortune.
Finally, everyone arrived at their destination.
The disciples of the master's sect have all gathered together.
In the very center of the room stood a statue of their patriarch, with their master seated below him.
The other fellow disciples were also seated in their respective places.
They just walked in so suddenly, and seeing this scene, it felt like a joint trial.
Especially...
Everyone's expression looked so serious.
Just as Lu Shiyan was wondering if he should say something first, Jiang Li's master suddenly stood up, "They're all back..."
Seeing that Jiang Li and the others did not speak, the other party pointed to the statue of the patriarch and said, "Since you are here, why don't you kowtow to the patriarch first?"
The group didn't argue and simply stepped forward.
Jiang Li and Gong Yu kowtowed and then stepped aside.
Lu Shiyan and the other two were about to kneel down when...
Lu Shiyan and Fu Ying seemed to be stopped by an external force, and they couldn't kneel down no matter what they did.
However, Lu Jiming, who had suffered greatly...
He knelt down very decisively.
Moreover, under the instructions of the palace, they kowtowed several times to the ancestral master.
Then, Lu Jiming watched in shock as everything that was happening in front of him was taken aback.
It was as if I had witnessed a wonder of the world...
