Pei Anbo took the hidden weapon with both hands and examined each part of it one by one.
After the matter was over, I saw admiration in his eyes.
"How is it?" Tang Jiuzhao asked anxiously.
"Reporting to Sect Leader Tang, the two hidden weapons have been successfully disassembled and reassembled! Junlan took two quarters of an hour."
As soon as Pei Anbo finished speaking, the four sect leaders all showed expressions of surprise.
Upon hearing this, a hint of relief flashed across Tang Jiuzhao's eyes.
He took the two hidden weapons from Pei Anbo and handed them to the four sect leaders for inspection.
Apart from Bei Yi, the other three sect leaders were all shocked by Gu Qianluo's performance.
"I never imagined that beneath Miss Junlan's gentle exterior lay such shrewdness. I am truly impressed!" the Xiyu Sect Master exclaimed in unwavering praise.
Upon hearing this, the Southern Star Sect Master frowned, gently patted the Western Jade Sect Master's shoulder, and coldly warned,
"You old fool, don't try to take her from me! I think this girl is quite suitable for the Hundred Flowers Sect."
The leader of the Nanxing Sect took a liking to Gu Qianluo at first sight, thinking that she was mediocre and no one would compete with her for a disciple.
Unexpectedly, after she displayed her talents in this way, it seemed that the sect leader of Xiyu Sect also took a liking to her.
"Bei Yi, look at how Jun Lan is doing!" Tang Jiu Zhao asked impatiently, turning to Bei Yi, whose expression was serious.
Bei Yi picked up the two hidden weapons, raised them to his chest, and examined them from both sides. Suddenly, he gave a cold smile.
"not bad."
After speaking, Tang Jiuzhao glanced at Gu Qianluo and saw joy in her eyes, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.
It seems that this girl most wants to join the Quick Blade Sect.
The Quick Blade Sect of the Free and Unfettered Sect is famous for its chivalrous deeds and is also said to be the most profitable department.
Hearing what the sect leader of Bei Yi said, Gu Qianluo's heart was suddenly filled with hope.
"Thank you for the praise, Sect Master Bei Yi. This disciple has only used a trivial skill."
However, the sect leader of Bei Yi changed his tone and said coldly, "However, with this level, you are not qualified to enter the Quick Blade Sect."
Gu Qianluo was unwilling to give up, and her great thirst for knowledge compelled her to ask.
"May I ask Sect Master Bei Yi, since Gu Qianluo has completed the sect master's task, why can't she become a disciple of the Quick Blade Sect?"
The leader of the Northern Sect did not respond to her, but instead left the Hall of Loyalty and Orders under the pretext of having important business to attend to.
Seeing this, Tang Jiuzhao gently brushed the jade fan in front of him, looked at Gu Qianluo with a smile on his lips, and said...
"Junlan, don't be discouraged. If he doesn't want you, perhaps one of these three sect leaders likes you?"
After speaking, Tang Jiuzhao cast a trusting glance at the three sect leaders who remained in their seats.
Upon receiving Tang Jiuzhao's order, Xi Yu, the sect leader of the Chasing Wind Sect, smiled politely and said...
"The wind gatekeepers need to work outdoors all year round, and it is common for them to travel over mountains and ridges and live in the open."
I only return to the Free and Unfettered Sect a few times a year. If Miss Junlan doesn't mind, I, the sect master, would naturally welcome you to join my sect.
Upon hearing that the sect leader would take her in, Gu Qianluo's expression brightened with joy. Just as she was about to agree, Tang Jiuzhao stopped her.
"Junlan, although the Wind Chasing Sect is good, learning lightness skills is not something that can be done in a day or two."
"How about we go and study at one of the other two sects for a while first?"
Master Dongling, the leader of the Illusion Star Sect, twitched his brow slightly, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Nanxing, the leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, who sat opposite him, and asked softly.
"Nanxing, you're smiling so happily, I wonder if you've taken a fancy to this young lady?"
Upon hearing this, Nanxing said calmly, "Dongling, she is a girl and should come to our Hundred Flowers Sect."
"Negation is tantamount to admission," Dong Ling said with a helpless expression, coldly replying to Tang Jiuzhao.
"Sect Master, if Nanxing likes it, I will not take it away from her."
The Hundred Flowers Sect has a majority of female disciples, and Gu Zijun would probably be satisfied with this outcome if he knew.
"Alright! In that case, Junlan, from now on you should study diligently under Sect Master Nanxing and not slack off."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo quickly took a cup of tea from the maid beside her and handed it to Nanxing, who was seated.
“Master Nanxing, I am dull-witted and hope that you will give me more guidance in the future.”
The Xiaoyao Sect is located in a remote area, so few ordinary families would send their children there to learn martial arts.
Speaking of which, the Hundred Flowers Sect hasn't accepted any new apprentices for two years.
Some of the disciples in the sect are no longer suitable to stay in the Hundred Flowers Sect due to their injuries.
Some were expelled for violating the sect rules, and the Hundred Flowers Sect is currently facing a severe shortage of manpower.
Having gained this rare disciple, Nanxing was naturally overjoyed, but she never liked to show her emotions, and said calmly,
"Alright, come to the Hundred Flowers Sect at dawn tomorrow!"
"Mao Shi (5-7 AM)?"
"What? You don't want to?"
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Nanxing frowned, and the jade beads in her hand creaked as she rubbed them together.
Upon hearing this, Tang Jiuzhao suddenly understood something. Before Gu Qianluo could speak, he carefully explained to Nanxing,
"There's a seriously injured disciple at Le'an Academy who needs her care. Nanxing, how about we change our schedule and go to Baihua Sect at Chenshi (7-9 AM)?"
"Since Sect Leader Tang has spoken, how can I refuse? I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, the Sect Master of Dongling Sect and the Sect Master of Nanxing Sect left Zhongling Hall together.
Seeing everyone leave, Gu Qianlu suddenly remembered something important and went to Tang Jiuzhao's side to ask him.
"Brother Tang, I wonder if there's any news about my three pieces of jewelry?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jiuzhao realized that the people he had sent to Mogui Valley had been gone for more than five days.
According to clan rules, one should return promptly after the matter is completed, unless unforeseen circumstances arise.
Seeing the anxious look on the person's face, he quickly comforted them.
"Don't worry, Luo'er. I will never break my promise to you."
"Alright, thank you, Brother Tang. Zhuying's medicine should be ready by now. Luo'er will take her leave."
"Uh-huh"
Gu Qianlu brought a bowl of herbal medicine from the pharmacy and slowly walked towards Le'an Courtyard.
After a week of careful care from Gu Qianluo, Zhu Ying's wounds have almost healed.
Although Zhu Ying is still unconscious due to excessive blood loss and physical weakness.
However, when Gu Qianluo checked her pulse, it was strong and powerful, as if her body was gradually recovering.
As usual, Gu Qianlu fed her the herbal medicine and then massaged her acupoints to unblock her meridians.
"Bamboo Shadow, wake up quickly! I have some things I need to ask you!"
As Gu Qianlu thought about it, she changed Zhu Ying's clothes into clean ones.
When that strange mark reappeared before her eyes, her heart sank.
He reached out and confirmed once again that the pattern on the mark was indeed the symbol of the legendary Xuan Yan Pavilion, a place where people were said to kill without batting an eye.
A series of strange coincidences surfaced in Gu Qianluo's mind.
After that incident at Jingyou Mountain, Zhuying disobeyed Chen Jinheng's orders and came specifically to plead for Lin Ruoyan.
Then there's Zhu Ying's various acts of protection towards Lin Ruoyan in front of Chen Jinheng.
Also, there was the old man who waited quietly at the dock when Zhu Ying and she first arrived in Huaizhou...
A host of mysteries lingered in Gu Qianluo's mind as her cold gaze fell upon Zhu Ying's pale face.
"Bamboo Shadow, who exactly are you?"
