Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Please, young lady, follow me up the mountain.
After saying this, he helped her sit down in the hall and went to the abbot to apologize for today's commotion and bloodshed.
She pretended to lean back in the chair, watching Gu Zhi bow and apologize, and heard Wu Dao's sinister chuckle in her ears:
"What a calculation, what a calculation. Not only can he not see that these brothers were recruited by you, but even I can't see it either."
"You took a bite of Young Hongchun head-on. You're really cruel to yourself."
She was fiddling with a thread on her clothes out of boredom.
"Cruel? Using Seven Black Fragrant Wood for incense all day long, even if you use Young Red Spring to make tea, you won't die."
Wu Dao burst into laughter.
"I was thinking, you're going to ask him to take you up the mountain. You're being so arrogant, I don't know how you're going to explain it. It turns out it's a self-torture scheme." He paused, "But wouldn't it be better if you were poisoned to save him?"
Now, every suggestion from Wu Dao always makes Nan Qiong Shuang laugh, "Are you addicted to teaching again? Don't try to teach me how to do things."
The onset of her redness gradually deepened, and she felt a piercing pain in her temples. However, she was used to the pain, and it made it easier to pretend to be poisoned. She couldn't help but feel happy, tapping her index finger repeatedly:
"Guilt is something that, when used well, is a weakness; when used poorly, people avoid it."
"Especially for a true gentleman like this, a sense of responsibility is his Achilles' heel. A little less is enough for him to take me up the mountain; too much, and he'll only feel guilty when he sees me, and it will be difficult to win his heart."
After hearing this, Wu Dao just laughed like an evil ghost.
Nan Qiong Shuang looked over and saw Gu Zhi already ordering people to deal with the unconscious man in black lying on the ground.
She crossed her legs and rubbed her temples with her index finger. "Hurry up and get to work. The rest is yours. If Gu Zhi really takes them to Tianshan, I can't guarantee that these people will survive."
Gu Zhiren was too open-minded. He knew that these people were coming straight for his head, but he actually left them all alive, just because this was a Buddhist temple.
He was so straightforward that she wanted to laugh.
How could he fight against such a person?
Wu Dao's laughter gradually faded away. Gu Zhi settled everything and walked over here.
Nan Qiongshuang restrained her casual posture, pretending to be as gentle as a boneless being, and slumped in the chair.
"Miss Chu, how are you?"
"I have a terrible headache." As soon as she opened her eyes, a trembling pink tear rolled down, and the remaining tears hung on her curved eyelashes, like petals covered with dew.
Wu Dao let out another malicious grin, which gradually faded away by his ears.
Gu Zhi didn't even ask her. He pushed aside her sleeve and touched her slender wrist, placing his fingers on it: "Excuse me, let me take your pulse first."
Her heart moved.
How could a man with such a strong sense of boundaries touch a woman's wrist without any explanation?
She thought a lot, and her first thought was that the Gu Zhi in front of her was a fake.
However, before each mission, the Wangsheng Sect would place spies next to the target and observe them for at least half a year.
If this were true, the Gate of Rebirth would not have been unaware of it.
So……
She lowered her long eyelashes and couldn't help but smile a little.
He was a little anxious because she was poisoned.
I was so anxious that I lost my composure.
Using that extremely poisonous fragrant wood to burn incense day and night really paid off her painstaking efforts.
She pulled her wrist back as if she had been electrocuted, and saw the guilt and pity in his eyes after he suddenly realized his mistake. Her eyes timidly and shyly moved across his face, and he turned his head away.
His thin shoulders trembled slightly.
Gu Zhi's heart skipped a beat and he lowered his eyes.
He didn't know what kind of magic this woman had, but every time she came close, he felt dizzy.
He carefully picked her up sideways:
"Miss Chu... I apologize for any offense. However, since you can't walk right now, I have no choice but to take you back to the mountain to detoxify you."
"Gu will take full responsibility for this matter. Miss, please... follow me up the mountain."
"Trouble."
These two words made Nan Qiong Shuang smile faintly.
*
When we arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, someone was already waiting at the mountain gate.
It’s Song Yaojie, the eldest senior sister of Tianshan Sect.
Nan Qiong Shuang had been pretending to faint in Gu Zhi's arms for almost half an hour. When she heard a cold and gentle female voice, she opened her eyes.
"Huaijin, you're back."
The cold voice suppressed a lot of joy.
"Senior Sister, why are you waiting for me at the mountain gate? Come in quickly."
Nan Qiongshuang felt a little uncomfortable when listening to this conversation, and couldn't help but look carefully at the woman opposite her.
He was born with a cold and upright appearance, with a thin and tall body, a thin but tough body, and was properly dressed in the snow-white long robe of a disciple of the Tianshan School.
The clothes were so light that when she walked, her whole body seemed to be covered by a veil.
With some immortal appearance.
Her mind turned, and she intentionally ruffled Gu Zhi's collar with her hand, and said nervously: "Master, put me down quickly..."
Hearing this, Gu Zhi lowered his eyes and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
She stammered, pretending to be frightened, hooking one hand around Gu Zhi's neck, and deliberately pinching her voice to sound delicate and timid: "Put me down and salute. How can I..."
Gu Zhi looked up and explained, "Senior Sister, I brought a girl back from the foot of the mountain. I encountered an assassin on the way and I attacked this girl. I felt guilty, so I brought her up the mountain to detoxify her. It's You Hongchun."
From the moment she first saw her, Song Yaojie felt that she was particularly eye-catching in Gu Zhi's arms. Now that Gu Zhi had explained the whole story, it was difficult for her to stop him. She nodded and said, "Since you've been poisoned, there's no need to perform formalities. Let's go up the mountain and rest first."
Gu Zhi nodded slightly, holding Nan Qiong Shuang, and strode into the mountain gate.
Nan Qiongshuang was in Gu Zhi's arms, tangling her hair around his and smiling slightly.
The purpose of paying respects was just to test the relationship between the eldest senior sister and the young master.
If the eldest sister has already gained the upper hand, then her mission this time will probably be much more troublesome.
However, it seemed that Gu Zhi had no intention of hiding his concern for her in front of this senior sister.
As for the eldest sister, judging from her tone, she seemed to be interested in Gu Zhi - she was even waiting in front of the mountain gate eagerly.
Since the young master has no interest in the eldest sister... things will be easy.
She turned her head away while sobbing. The distance was just enough for her to get close to his ear without offending him. She twisted her handkerchief, intentionally or unintentionally, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid.
"Sir, is Senior Sister a very strict person?"
Gu Zhi only felt a rich fragrance in his face: "Yao Jie is indeed a bit strict. Why?"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she held a handkerchief between her red lips as she looked at him timidly.
Like a daffodil that is about to fall in the wind and snow.
The tears of the weak are a poison that kills gentlemen.
Gu Zhi's eyes froze for a moment.
She sobbed:
"Senior Sister doesn't seem to like me very much. The way she looks at me... is so scary."
"Yaojie isn't a bad person." He glanced at Song Yaojie from the corner of his eye, "but sometimes she can be overly picky. Don't worry, she's reasonable."
Sensible?
The corners of her lips, hidden by the handkerchief, curled up a little, and she frowned and said, "If I have done anything to displease Senior Sister, could you please defend me?"
"Of course, Miss Chu is a guest."
She smiled in her heart, with tears on her face and lowered her brows, "Thank you, sir."
