Everything is ready.
I even thought of what to say when I pay homage to my master.
But he never expected to be stopped outside Changqing Temple.
Taking half a step forward would cause excruciating pain, as if every inch of my muscles and bones were being crushed repeatedly.
Not only he was affected, but also Yan Huailiu, who suddenly stopped and covered his chest. The pain and confusion on his face flashed by, but it was enough to make Gu Xingyun retreat immediately.
The moment the pain disappeared from his body, Yan Huailiu's expression became much better.
"Strange, it shouldn't be heatstroke, right? It's not that bad in this weather."
Yan Huailiu muttered softly, patted his chest twice, and decided to move forward.
"Master." Gu Xingyun stood behind him, three steps away, and smiled gently: "Disciple will not go in. I dare not disturb Master's worship."
Yan Huailiu had indeed forgotten about the defensive barrier and thought that he had been traumatized by being driven out by him, so he quickly explained.
"It's okay, I won't bother you. You can come in with me."
"Disciple is waiting outside for Master. By the way, I will help check if there are any demons lurking in Dongyue Town."
Gu Xingyun found a suitable excuse.
Yan Huailiu thought for a moment, then took the initiative to walk towards him, gently hugged him and patted him.
"Okay, then be careful."
After hesitating for a moment, he drew a simple map for Gu Xingyun: "If it's convenient, please go here and help me visit an old friend. You don't have to do anything, just clear the weeds in front of the grave."
Gu Xingyun nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Without asking any more questions, Gu Xingyun watched Yan Huailiu walk in and the door of Changqing Temple close before he breathed a sigh of relief.
After looking around and making sure that no one was coming, he knelt down towards the main door and kowtowed several times.
"Master, I am unfilial for not being able to enter the gate to pay my respects. Please don't blame me."
His voice was much weaker, and his back was straight. "I know you have always loved Master and would not let him suffer any injustice. Don't worry, I will protect him and I will take responsibility for any mistakes I make."
There was a slight chill in the wind, and the cold sweat that had just appeared was blown away instantly.
Gu Xingyun slowly stood up, bent down and brushed off the dirt on his body, glanced at the barrier blocking his way, smiled bitterly and turned away.
Inside Changqing Temple.
Yan Huailiu carefully helped to tidy up the table, wiped the corners that were difficult to clean, and then placed the offerings he brought.
Finally, he knelt there and kowtowed several times with a smile: "I come to see you again."
When he looked up and saw that familiar face again, Yan Huai couldn't help but shed tears.
The contents of the letter resurfaced in his mind, and the face of Jade Purity Immortal gradually became clearer in his memory. He hesitated for a long time before finally calling out, "Master."
As if worried about being disliked, she quickly explained: "I didn't mean anything else, I just felt I should say something on his behalf... Please don't mind..."
He lacked the confidence to explain, so after a moment he took a deep breath and called out again, "Master, I have tried my best to do everything you instructed me to do."
He put himself into this identity and used his own mouth to say what the original person had not said back then.
"Disciple is diligently protecting the Yuxu Sect, but my methods may be different from what Master expected, and I have offended quite a few people... But Master, rest assured, I have done my best to repair relations with other sects."
The incense on the table was so thick that the statue seemed a little blurry.
Yan Huailiu changed his posture and knelt on the futon. Perhaps because he was embarrassed, his voice was much weaker: "Although it was only repaired a little..."
As soon as these words came out, some memories in my mind seemed to become much clearer.
Yan Huailiu was stunned by the original body's fierce appearance of cursing in front of a group of people. He shook his head hard and coughed.
Guilty explanation: "When I became the sect leader, I was still quite young and could easily be looked down upon by other sects. I could only act a little fierce to intimidate those villains."
"I also raised those apprentices well. You probably aren't very familiar with Xinghua and Jingming. They're both very good kids. Xinghua likes to study swordsmanship, just like Changhuan."
"However, his temper is much better than that of my junior brother. He is also considerate and sociable. All the disciples in the sect like him. He helps the most with matters big and small on a daily basis."
When Yan Huailiu thought about his first meeting with his second disciple, he felt like laughing.
The boy, who hadn't yet finished his voice change, tried hard to act normal, but whenever he opened his mouth he made a sound like a duckling. He had to pinch his palms secretly every time to avoid laughing in front of his apprentice.
It's really cute.
"Jingming has a kind nature and is obsessed with medicine. He doesn't pay much attention to cultivation. However, his fellow practitioners dote on him, so he won't be bullied in the future."
"I gave him all the rare medical books in your collection. It can be considered as a legacy. As for the Mysterious Crimson Pearl Sutra..."
Yan Huailiu suddenly bent down, took out paper and pen, and wrote a few lines on the mat.
"Just a reminder. Pass it on to Jingming in a few years. Don't ruin it."
Yan Huailiu was still in a good mood. He moved the cushion forward and leaned against the statue.
"Do you know Shuijing City? Their city lord has a child named Yu Ziheng, who is also my apprentice."
"When he first arrived, he was skinny and small, looking like a four or five-year-old child. After six months of care, he finally grew up."
"Maybe he's always been a man who depends on others' feelings. He's quite clever. When he first came here, he always liked to cling to his disciples like sticky candy, and he was always crying. It made me so worried..."
"It got much better later. He stopped clinging to me and started clinging to his second brother. Now I don't know where the two of them are training..."
Yan Huailiu was a little sad for a while, but he quickly adjusted himself: "I also told my junior brother what you asked me to tell him. He looks very sad, and I don't know how to comfort him."
"Don't worry, Junior Brother has lived a good life these past few years. No one can bully him. Sometimes I feel that Junior Brother lives very clearly. No matter what happens, it doesn't affect him, which is also good."
Yan Huailiu sat cross-legged and looked at the closed door opposite.
"Xingyun...he..."
Everyone gave their comments, and when it was Gu Xingyun's turn, Yan Huailiu couldn't say a single suitable word.
The light dimmed for a few seconds and then returned to normal.
"He's doing well, and he'll be even better in the future. He has a harmonious relationship with his fellow apprentices. Some people care about him and some people love him."
"He will live well. He will slowly cultivate from the beginning. With his comprehension, he will be able to reach the state of spiritual enlightenment in ten or eight years. He is very smart, really smart."
Yan Huailiu took out Wen Yue, observed the sword in the moonlight, and rubbed it slowly a few times: "He is so smart, he will definitely be able to judge who he likes."
"The person he fell in love with at first sight was not me."
"But he was the first person I fell in love with at first sight."
"Master...why can't he just like me? Is it because I'm not doing well enough?"
