Originally, I just wanted to get some information and didn't want to make close friends with these people.
After all, Gu Xingyun didn't have a very good impression of this mortal world.
If we really have to rank them, these mortals are even more disgusting in his heart than Yan Huailiu before he lost his memory.
He had no attachment to those hypocritical, vicious and calculating faces.
But now…
Gu Xingyun looked around and saw nothing but friendliness, concern, kindness, and closeness that were almost materializing... It made him feel unreal.
"That's right, this little temper is exactly the same as what Moon-Watching Immortal Lord described."
"Keep your voice down! You can't say that in front of children."
The woman who looked like a woman patted the middle-aged man who was talking next to her, her tone full of anger. Seeing Gu Xingyun looking over, she apologized embarrassedly: "Little Immortal Lord, please don't mind. My husband is not very careful with his words. He just wanted to praise you."
"Yes, yes, I want to praise you."
The middle-aged man quickly agreed, with a faint blush visible on his dark face.
Gu Xingyun nodded slightly: "Thank you."
Perhaps seeing that his attitude had softened a bit, a group of people quickly asked him to sit down.
"Little Immortal Lord, please take a seat. You rushed here in such a hurry, you must not have eaten yet? What would you like to eat? I'll have someone make it for you."
The innkeeper smiled kindly, as if looking at his own child, his tone full of care: "Look at how skinny you are! Have you been practicing too hard? Why don't we serve you according to the menu that Wangyue Xianjun had previously prepared? Are there any dietary restrictions?"
Gu Xingyun swallowed his refusal and said thank you instead: "It's all right. Thank you very much."
"Oh, no need to thank me, good boy." The shopkeeper walked towards the kitchen with satisfaction.
Other people around were pouring tea, serving snacks and fruits, and some were rushing in from outside to deliver clothes and gadgets, not hiding their enthusiasm at all.
Gu Xingyun had never been treated like this in his life.
It was rare that he put away his anger and sat down to have a good conversation with these people.
Everyone knew that this was his first time here, so he answered every question and told everyone everything he knew. In just one meal, Gu Xingyun even knew that there was a new calf in the home of Old Zhang at the village entrance.
According to the people in the town, this place is called Dongyue Town, which is thousands of miles away from Yuxu Sect. Because of the protection of Yuxu Sect for so many years, the people live and work in peace and are very happy.
Occasionally, when there are evil spirits causing trouble, the Moon-Watching Immortal Lord will rush over to help them deal with it, and leave some things behind, or teach some simple ways to resist the evil spirits. The notice that sends them here is the talisman paper specially left by Yan Huailiu.
After all this is over, Yan Huailiu will stay in the town for a while.
He is young and handsome, has high cultivation but does not put on airs, is gentle and polite, and has almost no shortcomings except that he is not talkative. In Dongyue Town, there is no one who dislikes the Immortal Lord Wangyue, from centenarians to toddlers.
Gu Xingyun resisted the urge to twitch his lips and began to doubt his ears.
Are these people still talking about the Yan Huailiu who is hated by everyone in the world of immortal cultivation?
No airs?
When his master went out before, he wanted hundreds of disciples to pave the way with flowers.
Gentle and polite?
Ask the sects that have interacted with Yan Huailiu, which one can understand these four words?
Gu Xingyun suppressed his doubts and asked, "Master, do you come here at a fixed time every year?"
"Hey, not necessarily. If there's nothing going on, he'll come around this time every year. If there's an evil spirit, he'll come early. Anyway, he'll definitely come once a year."
Once a year, that shouldn't be wrong...
"Did you come last year?"
Hearing his question, the middle-aged man sitting next to him slapped his thigh and said, "Of course! When he came last year, I wanted my son to go back with him, but the Immortal Lord didn't want to, saying that he already had a disciple and it was inconvenient to take him in."
"Your little rascal is trying to force himself on the Immortal Lord Wangyue. Look at the disciple he accepted. His appearance and demeanor are both superior. There is no comparison."
"That's right, when people accept disciples, they also look at whether they have a predestined relationship with the immortals. It's obvious that our child can't compare to this little immortal."
The people around were talking about it. The middle-aged man touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I just want the child to serve the Immortal Lord. Even if he stays there to do odd jobs, it's fine."
"Forget it. He already has such a handsome disciple. How could he be interested in your little monkey? Oh, by the way, what's the name of this little immortal?"
Someone nearby asked.
Before Gu Xingyun could reply, someone beside him immediately chimed in: "Isn't his name Yun? Gu Yun? The Immortal Lord has mentioned him so many times, I can't remember him with my bad memory."
Gu Xingyun's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and replied, "Gu Xingyun."
After the crowd had finished making noises, he spoke again: "Master, do you often mention me?"
He was very curious about what Yan Huailiu would say. He clearly looked like he couldn't wait to get rid of him in the Yuxu Sect, but why did he always talk about him when he was outside?
Even the people in the small town knew about it.
"You don't know it yet, but your master really likes you!"
An elderly woman recalled with a smile, "A few years ago, Moon-Watching Immortal Monarch came to stay here. Hmm... I remember he arrived very late that year, around the Chinese New Year, right?"
"Yes, there was one year when he came just before the Chinese New Year, and the two children of Old Li's family insisted on dragging him along to buy New Year's goods!"
"After that incident, he started talking about you to us. He said he had a new apprentice. He was young but seemed very smart."
Gu Xingyun held his breath, clenched his hands unconsciously, and listened to her carefully.
The woman smiled helplessly, "He didn't look very old at the time, but he was sitting there looking worried... so pitiful, saying he didn't know how to be a master and didn't want any disciples..."
At that time?
He left Yuxu Sect near the New Year. It should have been the second year since he became a disciple of the sect. He remembered that Yan Huailiu disappeared for a long time, so long that Baili Changhuan thought he had found a place to commit suicide because he was depressed.
So it's here.
"Later on, they kept praising you, saying that with you around, they didn't have to worry about anything, and that you would help them relieve stress. They also said that you were a quick learner, well-behaved, and good-looking..."
With every word the woman spoke, Gu Xingyun's smile faded a little.
"Oh, by the way, Immortal Wangyue also said that you are an excellent cook. That year, Miss Yuchun from the embroidery workshop brought him some cakes, but he only took one bite and put them down, saying that the taste couldn't compare to what his apprentice made. That made Miss Yuchun so angry that she cried."
"Of course not. Miss Yuchun said before that she would not marry anyone but Immortal Lord Wangyue... Ouch, why did you hit me?"
The person who spoke shouted, and when he saw the expression of the person next to him, he immediately changed his words: "Haha, it was all a joke. Little Immortal Lord, don't tell Immortal Lord Wangyue."
Gu Xingyun smiled calmly: "Okay."
The beads he was playing with were crushed to pieces. Gu Xingyun calmly threw the powder at his feet, his expression gentle, "I wonder what's happening with the evil spirit mentioned in the notice now?"
