Chapter 44 Settlement of Accounts

"This is the first time I've seen someone talk about prying a corner of a wall in such a fresh and refined way."

"No, no, it's just so-so. My uncle taught me..."

"Ahem!"

Jiang Xu was interrupted by a violent cough from the side before he could finish his words. Ye Qi's old face turned red and he glared at him.

Jiang Xu realized that his uncle would lose face if he said this, so he stopped talking immediately.

"Master Gu Jue, please think about it. We are so familiar with each other. You won't suffer any loss if you come to Zichen Dao Sect."

Gu Jue was so annoyed that he finally put down the chopsticks.

"Wherever Yu Chi is, I will be there."

This sentence successfully threw the question to Yu Chi. Ye Qi and Jiang Xu, one old and one young, stared at him with their eyes.

She wanted to stare a hole in his body.

"I don't agree."

"Why!?"

They all said in unison.

"Unless..."

Yu Chi spoke again, and a glimmer of hope rose in Jiang Xu and Ye Qi's hearts.

"Unless what?"

"Unless the Zichen Taoist sect can give me Snow Mist Ice Lotus, Amber Seven-petal Orchid and Golden Crow Blood Ginseng." As

soon as he finished speaking, the smiles of the old and the young froze on their faces, and

they couldn't laugh anymore. "Don't be kidding, Master Yu Chi."

Any of them is an extremely rare medicinal material. No, it can't be said to be rare, it should be said to be extinct.

"So forget it."

"Think about it again~"

...

The final result was that Yu Chi and Gu Jue returned to the room and asked the waiter to make another meal and send it up.

Jiang Xu and his friends are the seventh group

of people today. They all came to invite Gu Jue to join the sect.

"How does it feel to be so popular?"

Yu Chi picked out the dishes that Gu Jue liked and gave him some of them.

Gu Jue thought for a moment and shook his head suddenly.

"Not so good."

"Oh? What's wrong with it?"

"You don't like this feeling, do you? I want to be the best swordsman in the world who travels around the world in the future."

Yu Chi asked him with a smile.

"Travel around the world? With whom?"

Gu Jue didn't even think about it.

"With you."

Gu Jue is now ranked in the top sixteen. Among the top sixteen, most are disciples of the sect, but there are not many knights without a sect.

After eating and drinking, he took a light nap to rest up.

Gu Jue had nothing to do with the afternoon competition, but he still planned to join in the fun. Maybe the person on the stage later would be his opponent.

Yu Chi had no objection, of course. If Gu Jue wanted to go, he could accompany him.

Today, Yu Chi was wearing a red dress and a white fox fur cloak, which matched Gu Jue's navy blue clothes and black fox fur cloak very well.

The two walked side by side and attracted several people's attention when they sat down. Yan

Sui didn't say anything, and Yan Weixiu was also relatively calm.

Yu Hexi raised her eyebrows, feeling that the two seemed to be different.

But she couldn't put her finger on it.

After two games in the afternoon, Gu Jue went to look at his name on the list.

The one who would compete against him tomorrow would be a chivalrous hero named Tu Ruyu.

Gu Jue had noticed this man before. He was a very powerful swordsman.

"It looks like tomorrow will be a duel between swords and knives."

The person standing next to Gu Jue spoke. Gu Jue's eyes moved and he saw his opponent tomorrow, Tu Ruyu, standing next to him.

He pursed his lips and did not respond. Instead, Tu Ruyu turned around to face Gu Jue and stretched out his hand to him.

"I've seen your competition, Gu Jue, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm your opponent tomorrow, Tu Ruyu."

Tu Ruyu smiled gently with a smile in her tone.

Gu Jue looked at his hand and hesitantly stretched out his own hand.

When they were about to touch each other, a beautiful and slender hand stretched out from the side and clasped his hand.

Yu Chi held Gu Jue's hand, interlocking their fingers. With a polite smile on his face, he lowered his eyes to look at Tu Ruyu.

"Sorry, I'm quite possessive and don't like him touching other people."

"I was rude."

Tu Ruyu withdrew her hand and rubbed her fingertips.

Yu Chi smiled and said goodbye to Tu Ruyu.

Gu Jue held Yu Chi's hand, and her heart felt like it was stroked by a feather, itchy and sweet.

Halfway through their journey, they were suddenly intercepted.

A dozen guards surrounded them, and seeing that they were not friendly, Gu Jue's hand had already touched the hilt of the Xunxian Sword.

Just as he was about to unsheathe the sword, Yu Chi held it down.

Behind the guards, there was a nobleman dressed in gorgeous clothes and with extraordinary temperament standing with his back to them.

He turned around slowly, revealing a handsome face with a somewhat sad look.

"Yu Chi..."

Yu Chi raised his eyebrows, a little scared.

"Sixty-eight thousand taels..."

Gu Jue's hand froze as he touched the Xunxian Sword. This was the Xunxian Sword's...

The noble young man took two steps at a time and walked to Yu Chi, holding a piece of paper in his hand. When he opened it, it was a glittering account statement from Baibing Pavilion.

"What did you buy that cost you sixty-eight thousand taels?"

His eyes fell on Gu Jue. Seeing that Gu Jue was wearing a cloak, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a navy blue shirt with narrow sleeves, he looked neat and tidy. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

He stared at Gu Jue and asked Yu Chi before Yu Chi opened her mouth.

"Did you buy a bodyguard?"

"He doesn't..."

"I said before that I would give you two bodyguards, but you didn't want them. What's the matter? You don't like coming for free, you like spending money?"

Yu Chi was interrupted before he finished speaking, and Gu Jue was dumbfounded.

The nobleman put his hand on his chin, his eyes were so sharp that he seemed to see through Gu Jue.

The result...

"He looks good, do you like good looks? Or do you like stupidity with clear eyes?"

Yu Chi: "..."

Gu Jue: "..."

Does he look stupid?

"Sixty-eight thousand taels, he has a gold border?"

Yu Chi took a step forward helplessly, protecting Gu Jue behind him, and stopped the nobleman from continuing to look at him.

"Sixty-eight thousand taels can't even buy the sword in his hand."

"What kind of sword is so expensive? You can't buy the sword even if you're not buying guards. Then tell me where you spent the money. The bill for Baibing Pavilion. You have to let me see what you bought, right?"

The noble son spread his hands and pointed at the bill in anger.

The bill was already ravaged and wrinkled, and it was a bit unbearable to look at.

"It's the cost of recasting, polishing, maintenance and scabbard of the sword."

Compared with the noble son, Yu Chi was much calmer and even calm.

The noble son looked incredulous.

"You are repairing his sword and you want me to pay for it. Is that reasonable?"

Gu Jue was protected by Yu Chi behind him. He understood that the sixty-eight thousand taels of silver were paid by the nobleman in front of him.

But he seemed to have no money to pay him back now. He always thought that it was Yu Chi who paid the money.

"Then I brought your life back from the gates of hell. You haven't paid a penny for medical treatment in the past three years. Is that reasonable?"

Well, it turned out that they were cheating each other.

The nobleman choked. Yu Chi was right.

"Show me the sword. I want to see if my money is worth it."

"No."

Yu Chi refused.

"No? Then what's my 68,000 taels worth?"

"Count it as your medical expenses or, count it as your bad luck?"

"..."

In the end, the matter was left unresolved. The noble young man followed Yu Chi and the others back to the inn. He wanted to have a drink with Yu Chi, but was rejected by Yu Chi.

The reason was that men should not touch each other and should avoid suspicion.

The noble young man scolded him for being mentally ill.

At this time, Yu Hexi came back, and when he saw the noble young man, he gently called him Wuhui.

This noble young man was Yu Hexi's legitimate fiancé Gu Qilang, also known as Gu Wuhui.

Gu Wuhui straightened his expression, and when he looked at Yu Hexi again, his eyes were full of tenderness and dignity.

"He Xi."

Yu Chi and Gu Jue saw this scene at the door of the bedroom, looked at each other, and closed the door.

Gu Jue asked Yu Chi who this Mr. Gu was.

Yu Chi said he was one of his patients, then thought about it and hooked his finger for Gu Jue to come over.

He leaned over to Gu Jue's ear and whispered a few words. Gu Jue was so surprised that his eyes widened, his lips moved slightly, and he turned to look at Yu Chi in disbelief.

"Is it true?"

Yu Chi nodded, "Really."

He seemed to know a big secret. Is this a big secret?

A little excited.

At night, when Gu Jue turned over for the third time, Yu Chi held his waist.

"Can't sleep?"

Gu Jue turned over again in the dark and faced Yu Chi.

"A little bit... um..."

In the end, Gu Jue was held down and kissed by Yu Chi, their lips intertwined, their breath gradually became hot.

Gu Jue was confused, his whole body softened, his mind was blank.

Now he didn't want to think about anything, Yu Chi patted his back, and soon, Gu Jue fell asleep, it was easy to coax him.
