Chapter 971 The Godfather (Second Update)
Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng's cheeks bulged from the cold wind blowing in their faces, and their faces were distorted when they turned around.
But the two were helpless; they either shut up or opened their mouths and were blown into two expressionless, sad frogs.
Long Yi had wanted to take Gu Jiao as his mistress for a long time.
Gu Jiao is pregnant and cannot use the clamp.
Gu Jiao has given birth, so she can't use the clamp.
Gu Jiao is in her postpartum confinement period, but she still can't use the clamp.
You can clamp it now!
Xiao Heng was an add-on, a freebie.
Fishermen on the island are processing live sea fish.
call out!
A blur flashed past overhead!
The fishermen looked at each other in bewilderment.
After an unknown amount of time, whoosh! That afterimage flashed past their heads again!
Gu Jiao's face darkened, and she was about to explode.
You've already circled the island twice!
After circling three times, it was completely dark, and Long Yi reluctantly put the two down.
Meanwhile, Chang Jing had already spotted Long Yi using his lightness skill to fly around the island. Knowing that his people had arrived, he hurried to the ferry to bring the other three into the Dark Night Sect as well.
Chang Jing knew Liao Chen and Daoist Qingfeng. The three of them had fought together on the border. Later, Liao Chen stayed in Zhaodu for a while and had many dealings with the Xuanping Marquis's residence.
The only person he didn't recognize was Ren Feng Wuxiu.
"My younger brother," Master Qingfeng introduced.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two saw Feng Wuxiu tugging at Liao Chen's sleeve, drooling as he said, "Brother, I just saw some pheasants on the island. Let's have chicken for dinner tonight!"
Chang Jing: "..."
Master Qingfeng: "..."
...
The Dark Night Sect actually has inner and outer sects, but they are all located on the island. The process of becoming a disciple of the Dark Night Sect is to first join the outer sect, and then undergo rigorous training and selection at each level before one is qualified to enter the inner sect.
Inner disciples can enjoy the most powerful martial arts manuals and mental cultivation methods of the Dark Night Sect, and also obtain more abundant elixir resources.
Despite being the young sect leader, Chang Jing also progressed from the outer sect to the inner sect, as did his seven older sisters.
Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng were family, not visitors from the martial arts world, so Chang Jing and Long Yi took them directly back to their residence.
It's worth mentioning that Long Yi also has his own place on the island, which is even bigger than Chang Jing's.
Long Yi wanted to show his territory to his young master and Gu Jiao, but he had to see Chang Kun first, as a matter of courtesy.
In the flower hall, the group of five met Chang Kun and the seven daughters of the Chang family.
Liao Chen, Xiao Heng, Gu Jiao, and Chang Kun were old acquaintances, while Qingfeng Daoist and Feng Wuxiu were new faces.
Young Miss: "Seventh Sister, that Taoist priest is very handsome."
Second Miss: "I think monks are more handsome."
Third Miss: "The handsome young man next to the Taoist priest is so cute and looks so well-behaved. Seventh Sister, shall we choose him?"
Fourth Miss: "Yes, yes, don't think about that Ye Qing anymore! He has to observe three years of mourning, and in three years, you'll be almost thirty!"
Seventh Miss Chang Yu gritted her teeth, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "What?! Why do you always make me sound so much older? I'm only twenty-one this year!"
"Twenty-two, my birthday was yesterday," Miss Chang added meticulously. "Twenty-three in the traditional Chinese age reckoning."
The Fifth Miss, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Don't you guys think the most handsome one is the man next to the little girl?"
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Heng, who was leading Gu Jiao into the flower hall.
They had traveled such a long way that everyone looked disheveled, but it hardly diminished their youthful good looks.
Xiao Heng is different.
He possessed an aura that set him apart from the others.
The seven sisters couldn't quite put their finger on it.
The second young lady said thoughtfully, "He doesn't seem to know martial arts, but he seems to exude an invisible aura of intimidation."
Chang Yu said, "The little girl is beautiful!"
Chang Jing stepped between the two sides and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my father."
It was mainly introduced to the Feng brothers.
Master Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Qingfeng of Baiyun Temple greets Sect Leader Chang. This is my younger brother, Feng Wuxiu."
Chang Kun smiled and said, "Master Qingfeng, I have long admired your name." He then glanced at Feng Wuxiu, who was the right age and handsome, and his eyes lit up. "Young Master Feng, I have long admired you."
Feng Wuxiu was self-aware; he was just an unknown nobody. Chang Kun was just being polite.
He politely bowed in the manner of a junior: "Sect Master Chang."
Chang Kun was very satisfied.
Chang Jing then walked up to her older sisters and introduced them to the five of them: "My eldest sister is Chang Ying, my second sister is Chang Ling, my third sister is Chang Yun, my fourth sister is Chang Xiu, my fifth sister is Chang Ying, my sixth sister is Chang Jun, and my seventh sister is Chang Yu."
Chang Ying was not much younger than Princess Xinyang, and Chang Ling and Chang Yun were both in their thirties.
They looked very young, and possessed a righteous spirit and chivalrous nature that rivaled any man.
Gu Jiao felt as if she had encountered the Seven Fairies in real life, all of them beautiful, with different styles, and all highly skilled in martial arts.
Chang Jing continued, "The young Marquis of Zhaodu, Xiao Heng, and the Black Wind Cavalry Commander, Gu Jiao, are married."
When people introduce women, if they are unmarried, they are said to be the daughter of so-and-so; if they are married, they are said to be the wife of so-and-so.
Chang Jing did not think that way.
He remembered that Princess Xinyang and Aunt Yujin had said that every woman should be herself first, and then someone else's wife.
That night, six of his brothers-in-law also came over.
Chang Kun's family has a good tradition. His seven daughters are all generous and straightforward, and his brothers-in-law are not scheming or backstabbing. Everyone gets along without any burdens.
Dinner was the highest-level hospitality on Dark Island – a whole fish feast.
The main ingredients are sea fish, shrimp and crabs caught by fishermen. The cooking methods are not as complicated as the whole fish banquet in Gu Jiao's previous life. Instead, they are mainly grilled fish, marinated fish, soup, and fresh fish, which preserves the original flavor and freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent.
Feng Wuxiu couldn't stop eating.
He resembled a chubby little squirrel eating: "This is the first time I've known that fish can be eaten raw, and it doesn't taste fishy at all!"
"Soy-marinated crab tastes even better," Chang Jing said.
Feng Wuxiu was initially hesitant to try, but the sashimi gave him great confidence. He took a piece of crab covered in red chili sauce, closed his eyes, and took a bite!
The translucent crab meat, mixed with the salty and juicy crab roe, bursts in your mouth, stimulating all your taste buds.
The crab pieces were marinated in wine to remove the fishy smell, and then marinated in a secret sauce, resulting in a perfect balance of saltiness, spiciness, and sweetness.
Ahhh!
tasty!
Liao Chen really couldn't get used to raw food, so it was a rare occasion that he and Daoist Qingfeng shared the same taste.
Gu Jiao tried a little of everything, and her favorite was the fish soup, which was very delicious.
Gu Jiao had thought that Xiao Heng, having grown up in Zhao Kingdom, would not be used to the raw food on the table, but to her surprise, he was even more accustomed to it than Long Yi.
After the meal, Chang Jing took Chen, Daoist Qingfeng, and Feng Wuxiu back to the courtyard arranged for them to rest, while Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng stayed behind and told Chang Kun about the purpose of their trip.
"The first island owner might be an old acquaintance of mine, and I want to go see him," Gu Jiao said tactfully.
When the first island owner passed away, Gu Jiao hadn't even been born yet, so judging from their ages, it was impossible for them to have any connection.
Chang Kun had witnessed too many unbelievable things during the time of the first island owner, and he dared not use common sense to deduce anything related to him.
Chang Kun asked, "If I may ask, are you and him... from the same place?"
He knew that the first island lord came from another world, and since Gu Jiao said that she was an old acquaintance of his, she was probably also from another world.
"Yes," Gu Jiao admitted frankly.
Her decisiveness surprised Chang Kun.
Chang Kun smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm actually very curious about you and the first island lord."
Gu Jiao said, "If you want to hear it, I can tell you. But it can't be explained in just a few words, so I may have to bother you on the island for a few more days."
Chang Kun hurriedly said, "How could it be a bother? You are a friend of the first island lord, so you are an honored guest of our Dark Night Sect. The Dark Night Sect is always open to you. You can stay as long as you want. I would be more than happy to oblige."
He was telling the truth.
Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay."
"I'll take you to see the first island owner first."
Chang Kun led the two to the forbidden area of the Dark Night Sect, which was actually located in the back mountain of the Chang family. The first half of the back mountain could be entered at will, while the second half was marked by the stone tablet carved by the first island master, and no one other than the previous island master was allowed to enter without permission.
Even Chang Jing has never been inside.
Long Yi was an exception, because he originally lived in the forbidden area.
As she passed the boundary marker, Gu Jiao raised her hand and gently stroked it, as if she could sense the Godfather's presence.
Xiao Heng took in her melancholy, and his jealousy flared up once again.
What? You still can't forget it after all this time?
Who is the most important man in your heart?
With a dark expression, Xiao Heng followed Chang Kun and Gu Jiao into a spacious courtyard.
Chang Kun said, "This is where the first island owner once lived, and Long Yi also lived here."
Thinking of something, Gu Jiao asked, "What was Long Yi's name when he was little?"
Chang Kun looked at Long Yi behind him, while Long Yi stared at the sky.
Chang Kun cleared his throat and said, "Mengmeng."
Gu Jiao: "..."
Long Yi led the two to visit every room in the courtyard. Xiao Heng didn't want to visit; why should he look at that man's things?
He sat in the courtyard drinking tea with Chang Kun.
Gu Jiao first went to the Godfather's study and found a lot of his handwriting, mostly his observations and experiences in this time and space.
Then there are some mathematical formulas to deduce the coordinates she left behind.
Looking at the familiar handwriting, Gu Jiao felt an indescribable melancholy welling up in her heart: "How did the Godfather know I had been here and even left the coordinates? What exactly is missing from my memory?"
This study is probably not the Godfather's real study; he would never completely reveal his secrets to others.
"Long Yi, are there any other places?"
Long Yi thought for a moment, then led Gu Jiao to a secret room. He pointed to a groove in the wall and said, "We can't get in."
This groove is the same as the groove in the operating room of the Imperial Preceptor Hall.
Could this be the spatial coordinates left by the Godfather?
Gu Jiao silently recited the name of the first-aid kit in her mind.
The first-aid kit is not present.
Gu Jiao walked out of the back mountain and back to her and Xiao Heng's room. With a dark face, she picked up the small medicine box from the table.
She muttered, "I need to be carried!"
The Dark Island chapter isn't very long; it's almost finished.
