The python just hummed softly.
Gu Wan looked at Qi Ronger who fainted in front of the ghost grass. She didn't want to help. She walked back to her original place and found a comfortable position to lie down.
After a while, Qin Yang coughed in a daze, then reacted quickly. He looked in the direction of Gu Wan, stood up, trotted to her position, reached out and gently picked her up.
"Junior Sister, Wanwan, wake up."
Gu Wan woke up faintly, squinted her eyes, and called out softly, "Big Brother."
Qin Yang immediately began to feel her pulse. He didn't know what the gas was. If it was poisonous, it would be bad if it hurt his junior sister. After checking, he found that her pulse was normal, and he felt relieved.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Wan shook her head and stood up. "Big Brother, I'm fine."
Qin Yang looked towards the location of the ghost grass, and saw that the woman brought by Chen Liang had actually fallen there.
Gu Wan went over and woke them up one by one.
Chen Liang looked at the scene and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to explain it.
"Brother Qin, she is also a poor person. I don't think that will happen."
Qin Yang had long forgotten that he had met Qi Ronger.
"Fellow Daoist Chen can vouch for her, and I won't pursue the matter. Furthermore, I can confirm that the ghost grass isn't with her."
Sui Lian just felt it was a pity, as he was just one step away from getting it.
After Qi Ronger woke up, several people came out of the cave together. However, it was already dark and it was not convenient to continue traveling. They found a flat place with a wide view to rest.
Chen Liang didn't ask Qi Ronger along the way, but now everyone has nothing to do. He knows that he must give an explanation in front of the Tianxu Sect today. They are all cultivators and should do things openly and honestly, otherwise it will seem as if their Tiansha Sect is deliberately stealing things.
"Miss Qi, when we woke up, we saw you fainted in front of the ghost grass. Do you have any explanation for this? If you don't tell the truth, I may not be able to take you back to Tiansha Sect."
As soon as this question was asked, everyone looked over vaguely.
Gu Wan was eating. The pastries Qin Yang brought out and the bamboo leaf tea he brewed were very refreshing.
Gu Xing was not interested in the ghost grass, and Sui Lian just remained silent.
Qi Ronger was already feeling guilty when she heard this, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She looked even more pitiful, "I, I..."
Chen Liang had never dealt with a woman like this before and felt a little helpless.
Gu Wan put down the teacup, stood up, walked over, and shook her hand. "Let's not ask about this matter for now. Miss Qi doesn't know how to practice, so it's useless for her to have the ghost grass. Besides, we both fainted at the time, so no one knows what happened."
Seeing that Gu Wan said so, Chen Liang just clasped his fists and bowed to indicate that he would not ask any more questions.
But Qi Ronger was not grateful to Gu Wan. When she said this, she had already confirmed her intention to get the ghost grass, although she did not get it.
Gu Wanyan looked at her with a gentle smile, "Come, let's eat together. We can't skip eating."
Qi Ronger was pulled aside by Gu Wan. She pinched her palm and decided to repay Gu Wan for the embarrassment she had suffered today.
Gu Xing knew that Gu Wan was a pushover who meddled in such matters. She should see the vicious schemes of the world and change her temper.
Qin Yang didn't show any reaction. He never cared about women like Qi Ronger. No matter how many calculations she had in her mind, he didn't care as long as she didn't hurt them.
Qi Ronger lowered her head and ate the delicate pastries, but they tasted like chewing wax.
At this time, Gu Wan was dressed exquisitely and had a clean face. Next to her, he felt so small that he was almost in the dust.
On the second day, the group returned to the town, and Gu Wan and the others separated from Chen Liang and Qi Ronger.
Gu Wan looked at Qi Ronger's back as she left. She really didn't know what she would be like when they met next time. Her abilities must have improved, so she was looking forward to it.
Qin Yang felt that this trip was terrifying, but the most important thing was that everyone was safe.
"From here, walk southwest for half a day and you'll reach Jincheng. They're holding the annual New Moon Festival there. You can go and see the excitement."
Gu Wan nodded quickly, "Big Brother, let's go now."
Jincheng is Sui Lian’s hometown.
His fingers moved slightly, his eyes dimmed, and his sword sensed his intention and almost came out of its sheath.
Gu Xing stood to his left, clearly sensing his murderous intent, "Junior Brother Sui, what's wrong?"
Sui Lian came back to his senses after being called, "Nothing." His tone was cold.
Gu Xing felt that Sui Lian was a little strange, but since Gu Qingsong was willing to hand Gu Wan over to him, this person would definitely be investigated thoroughly.
Gu Wan walked and stopped along the way, buying a lot of small gadgets, looking like someone who had never seen the world.
It was already noon when they arrived at the destination. They checked into the inn first, washed up and rested in their rooms, and then went to the hall to eat together.
The New Moon Festival is on July 1st every year. It is already very lively and many people from other places come to the inn.
Sui Lian grew up here since he was a child and left here only when he decided to take revenge. His real home, the huge mansion is now in ruins. When he was very young, he would go there almost every day to check on it and remember the blood feud.
Qin Yang was introducing to Gu Wan, "There will be a lot of fireworks at night, and there will also be Kongming lanterns for praying."
Gu Wan exclaimed, "That's great. Big Brother, please accompany me there tonight."
Sui Lian's eyes flickered slightly, "I grew up here since I was a child, I can take you there."
Qin Yang also remembered that he had read some of Sui Lian's previous personal background information. "Yes, I have to meet with my local contact tonight. I have some official business to take care of."
Gu Xing was a little surprised. Sui Lian actually brought it up on his own initiative?
Gu Wan pursed her lips and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to follow me, Junior Brother."
In the afternoon, Gu Wan took a nice bath in the room and slowly thought about the mission. Sui Lian's family was killed when he was young, and he was raised by his loyal old uncle, but he had never left Jincheng. He was obviously stimulated when he came here, and felt that he had to quickly gain Gu Qingsong's trust. Only after thinking it through did he take today's actions and could only get close to her.
Fireworks have already started outside in the evening.
Gu Wan and Sui Lian stopped and walked along the way. The market was very lively, with shouts everywhere, colorful lanterns, and acrobatic performances.
Sui Lian followed her and kept his hands out to protect her, preventing others from touching her.
Gu Wan picked up a mask and gestured towards Sui Lian, "Junior Brother Sui, this suits you very well."
Sui Lian was stunned for a moment. Gu Wan was smiling beautifully under the fireworks, like a spring breeze, and she looked very comfortable. He paid the money and continued.
Gu Wan walked beside him, "Junior Brother Sui, you seem very unhappy."
Sui Lian pursed his lips and said, "No, Senior Sister, you are overthinking it."
Gu Wan sighed deeply, and the two of them walked to a quieter street and sat down on the steps in front of a dilapidated house. It was a bit deserted here.
Sui Lian looked behind him. This was his home, a dilapidated yard with only the walls on both sides standing.
"Junior brother, please sit down too."
He calmed down his emotions and sat down.
Gu Wan held her chin and watched the people coming and going on the roadside. "I'm also surprised that Daddy has such an arrangement, but don't worry, Junior Brother, I will tell Daddy that your future is limitless. You should be able to find a Taoist partner who is as powerful as you."
Sui Lian listened to her words and looked sideways. The lights on the roadside were dim, so he couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could probably guess it.
"Senior sister is very good."
Gu Wan turned to look at him. "I was originally prepared to die at any time, but Daddy took the trouble to find the life-extending grass for me, so I should live for Daddy. But forget about marriage, I don't want to delay others any longer."
Sui Lian knew that Gu Wan was innocent in this matter, but there were so many innocent people in the mansion back then. He would not stop and would not regret it.
"Senior Sister didn't delay anyone, and she's also very nice."
Gu Wan turned to look at him, "Are you serious?"
Since Sui Lian decided to take advantage of her feelings, he would naturally cooperate and nodded.
Gu Wan smiled, as if she was happy because of his confirmation. "Follow me, junior brother, let's go." Then she stood up.
Sui Lian stood up and looked at the ruins behind him, where his parents and relatives were buried.
Gu Wan did it on purpose. She said these words and made these promises in front of his family. I wonder how Sui Lian will feel when he thinks about it later.
The two of them walked towards the inn together. On the way, they came across a group of people performing a lion dance. There were also many people watching nearby.
Gu Wan was accidentally bumped into by someone and almost fell down.
Sui Lian put his arm around her waist and brought her into his arms.
Gu Wan put her face against his chest.
"Follow and gather."
Sui Lian felt the soft and boneless waist in his hands, and his ears turned red with discomfort. His name sounded with a hint of dependence when she said it. Is there anyone who would depend on him?
Qin Yang had just finished dealing with some matters, and he was relieved to see them return. "I'm leaving for home tomorrow. There's a lot of things to do within the faction, so I have to go back and help."
Gu Wan didn't say anything. This time she had a great harvest. She turned around and went back to her room, took out the ghost grass and started practicing.
When he woke up the next day, Gu Wan found that he had already become a golden elixir. The ghost grass was indeed very useful.
He returned to Quanxu Sect in two days.
The four of them went to see Gu Qingsong first.
Qin Yang first explained the matter of the ghost grass.
"I almost succeeded against the ghost grass, but unfortunately."
Gu Qingsong sat in the seat of honor and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "No problem, I wanted you to go over there and see the world." Then he spoke.
"Qin Yang, you should prepare for our sect's training competition this year as soon as possible, so as to see the progress of our disciples this year."
Qin Yang clasped his fists and bowed slightly, "Yes."
When Gu Qingsong looked at Gu Wan, his expression softened. "Did you have fun out there these days?"
Gu Wan nodded vigorously, "Yes, Daddy, can I also participate in this trial? I really want to go."
Although Gu Qingsong was worried, she did not make any mistakes this time. "Okay, then follow Sui Lian and Gu Xing and let them take care of you."
Gu Wan smiled and nodded.
Sui Lian and Gu Xing answered yes in unison.
The four people came back and each went back to where they lived.
Gu Wan continued to practice in the room. She believed that Qi Ronger's spiritual roots must have been detected in Tiansha Sect by now.
Qi Ronger was diagnosed with water spiritual roots, and was directly enrolled in the Tiansha Sect. She finally changed into such clothes, and the feeling was different when she touched them. Looking at herself in the mirror, she realized that luck played a big role in her journey from an ordinary person to where she is now. She would have to work harder in the future.
Chen Liang watched her change her clothes outside the door. He didn't expect her to be so beautiful and was a little stunned.
"Let's go. I brought you here. I want you to become my master's disciple. From now on, you must call me Senior Brother."
Qi Ronger felt the amazement in Chen Liang's eyes and felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Liang waved his hand, "You can call me Senior Brother now."
A few days later, Quanxu Sect.
Gu Xing lowered his head to hide the hatred in his eyes and clenched his fists, "Disciple knows his fault, please punish me, Master."
The relationship between them is just that of a disciple and a master.
Gu Qingsong stood on the high steps with his hands behind his back, looking down at him, "This competition is just a competition between you brothers. You dare to be ruthless next time. It seems that all my teachings to you are wrong. You are vicious, selfish and narrow-minded. You should be punished with a cane."
When Gu Wan learned about it, the execution was already going on in the yard. When she trotted to the front hall, she only saw faint traces of blood on Gu Xing's back.
"stop."
Then he rushed forward without hesitation.
The disciple who was carrying out the execution did not have time to retract his fist due to inertia. Although his strength was reduced, Gu Wan was still hit hard.
Gu Qingsong didn't react at first, but when he saw her, he immediately stepped forward and pulled her up, "Wanwan, are you feeling unwell?" After saying that, he was about to carry Gu Wan to the pharmacy.
Gu Xing had been used to it since he was a child, but he didn't expect her to pounce on him directly.
Gu Wan knelt straight on the ground, pushed Gu Qingsong away, protected Gu Xing behind her, and looked at him stubbornly, "Daddy, I believe Ah Xing didn't mean it. Please stop."
Gu Qingsong frowned tightly, "Wanwan, let me check your injury first."
Gu Wan gritted her teeth and shook her head, "Daddy, I'm fine, let Ah Xing go."
Gu Qingsong really didn't know why she was so persistent. "Okay, I won't beat him anymore. Get up and go to the pharmacy with me."
When Gu Wan heard this answer, she smiled and looked back at Gu Xing, then suddenly fainted.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Gu Xing's forehead.
Gu Qingsong hurried away holding Gu Wan.
Li Xiutian looked at the unconscious Gu Wan and felt her pulse. "She's not hurt inside, but she's weak. Although this blow has reduced her strength, just take care of her."
Gu Qingsong's brows were still furrowed. "I'm glad you're okay." After saying that, he silently transferred his inner energy to her before sitting aside.
Li Xiutian wrote a prescription and handed it to his disciple to boil the medicine.
"It's a good thing that they have a good relationship as siblings."
Gu Qingsong felt that he was quite good at judging people. Gu Xing wasn't as harmless as he appeared. "During this trip to the Ghost Grass, Qin Yang said they were separated for a day and a night, and it was Gu Xing who took care of Wanwan."
Li Xiutian looked at his friend calmly, "Yes, you just want to find a servant to take care of Wanwan, and Gu Xing can also protect her in the future."
Gu Qingsong thought about it again and again, but he was still worried about Gu Xing, who could do such a thing at the age of four.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Today's sparring session was just an ordinary one, but Gu Xing's men showed no mercy."
Li Xiutian didn't say anything more.
Gu Wan didn't faint, but she needed to act. The hit didn't hurt, and she woke up after a while.
"father."
Gu Qingsong didn't leave. "It still hurts. If you talk to Dad nicely, I can let him go. If you just rush in like this, what if the executioner doesn't have enough strength? What will you do?"
Gu Wan slowly sat up. "I was just too anxious at the time. Where's Ah Xing? How is he?"
Gu Qingsong didn't care at all, "If you want to know, go and see for yourself." He was still a little angry.
Gu Wan knew that she could only coax him now.
As soon as Gu Qingsong left in the afternoon, Gu Wan took bottles and jars to the pharmacy to fill medicine.
Li Xiutian's beard was so distressed that it stood up to the sky.
"Grandfather, please take less. Gu Xing can't use it either."
Gu Wan pretended to be calm and said, "Uncle Li, one should not be too stingy. Let's leave it at that for now. I'm leaving."
Li Xiutian saw that she was really fine.
Gu Xing has been recuperating in his own yard. His back injury is very serious and the eldest senior brother has sent him medicine.
Gu Wan went straight to his bedroom and saw him shirtless.
Gu Xing subconsciously took the clothes beside him to block, "You, why are you here?"
Gu Wan didn't care at all and sat beside his bed generously, "Don't move, let me take a look at your wound."
Gu Xing frowned, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. I've already applied the medicine, so there's no need to look."
Gu Wan laughed. "What do you mean by 'not giving or receiving'? I am your biological sister. This is the internal and external medicine I got from Uncle Li. It can be used. I have become a doctor through long-term illness."
Gu Xing looked at the bottles and jars of all sizes, his eyes obscure and difficult to read, "You fainted today, but you didn't have to block it for me."
Gu Wan was still studying the bottles and jars carefully without raising her head. "I'm fine. We talked about it before. If you have anything, tell me. I'm your sister."
Gu Xing really didn't want Gu Wan to be so nice to him, otherwise it would shake his desire for revenge.
"What kind of sister are you? Don't you know that he killed my mother? Just because he is different from your mother, one is his beloved, and the other is just a maid who climbs into his bed."
His eyes were cold as he looked straight into Gu Wan's eyes.
Gu Wan clenched the medicine bottle in her hand and said, "Ah Xing, those are all grudges from the previous generation. I just want to be good to you."
Gu Xing raised his hand and swept all the bottles and jars to the ground. The sound of them breaking was quite pleasant in the room.
"No need. You are the one I hate the most. I don't want to see you at all."
After he finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet, but the sound of the wind outside was still heard. It took him a long time before he looked up at Gu Wan.
Gu Wan's tears fell on the bed, "If you hate me, you don't have to treat yourself like this." After saying that, she placed the medicine bottle in her hand that had just escaped danger in front of him, "This is for internal use." She stood up and turned to leave.
Gu Xing looked at the medicine bottle on the bed, gritted his teeth, threw it on the ground, was silent for a long time, endured the pain and stood up, picking up all the medicine on the ground bit by bit.
Gu Wan stopped crying as she walked out of the yard. Now Gu Xing's heart was probably torn back and forth. He was unwilling to accept the hatred he had been holding on to for more than ten years, and he was even more reluctant to give up the kindness he had shown to him. He wanted everything, but he was tormented in his heart, so now he could only push himself as far away as possible.
Gu Xing took a lot of effort to pick up all the medicine. The wound on his back opened again, and blood seeped out. He looked at the medicine bottle in his hand with red eyes.
Gu Wan didn't leave her yard for several days.
Qin Yang had just returned and was busy with trivial matters in the sect. He came over immediately after knowing the specific details.
Gu Wan was sitting on the swing in the yard, reading a book.
Qin Yang walked over to her and looked at her carefully. "I heard that you fainted that day. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Gu Wan closed the book and said, "It's okay."
She is protected by true qi.
Qin Yang sighed again, "You were weak before, and you didn't know Gu Xing's situation. Things like this happen almost every once in a while. Otherwise, go to the back mountain for confinement. Master is very strict with Gu Xing."
Of course Gu Wan understood that Gu Qingsong just couldn't stand Gu Xing, not to mention the incident of him falling into the water.
But Gu Xing deserved it. A four-year-old child could think of pushing someone into the water. No matter what the reason was, it was enough to surprise people.
"Big Brother, please take care of Ah Xing. I know he's suffering. I will go and talk to Daddy."
Qin Yang patted her head. "Well, Wanwan has grown up a lot. I probably won't have time to visit you again for a while. The disciples in the sect are undergoing trials, and there will be many disciples from outside who want to come and study. I will be quite busy."
Gu Wan nodded obediently, "Okay."
Qin Yang drafted the post in a side hall in the afternoon, and Gu Xing was proofreading it beside him.
They can only invite two people from each sect participating in this trial, no more.
"Have you fully recovered from your injury? You can rest for a few more days. I have other junior brothers here who can help."
Gu Xing just pursed his lips and nodded.
Qin Yang's handwriting is as elegant and bold as he is.
"I went to see Wanwan this morning. She stayed in the yard and didn't come out. She didn't seem very happy, but she told me that she would go and persuade Master not to be so strict with you in the future."
Gu Xing unconsciously exerted force and the proofreading paper was crumpled.
"unimportant."
Qin Yang thought of Gu Xing's life experience and realized that he couldn't be blamed on him.
Two months later.
The Quanxu Sect's trial is very famous in the world of cultivation. The layers of mechanisms and checkpoints inside are carefully set up by the senior uncles, with different levels of difficulty. It is mainly to test the disciples of the sect. This means that this year, we have received invitations from other sects who want to send their own disciples over.
Gu Qingsong had met with other people before and thought it was a good opportunity to make friends, so he readily agreed.
Sui Lian has made a lot of progress in the past two months and has reached the second level of Golden Core. He is considered a leader among the new generation of disciples of Quanxu Sect.
Gu Qingsong called him in but didn't say anything for a long time, just looked at him carefully.
He had investigated everything about Sui Lian. It was said that he was an orphan who was adopted by an unmarried old man in Jincheng more than ten years ago. The two depended on each other for survival. He only came to Quanxu Sect last year to become an outer courtyard disciple.
This is also one of the reasons why he chose Sui Lian. Having no background means he can only rely on the Gu family, and such a person is easy to control.
"During this trial, your mission is to protect Wanwan. When you are of the right age, I will officiate your wedding."
Sui Lian clasped his sword and saluted, "Disciple will definitely protect Senior Sister."
Gu Qingsong looked at him and only hummed, "Go down and make preparations."
Sui Lian agreed and left the study. He remembered the question Geng Bo asked him.
"Young Master married Miss Gu. If he seeks revenge again, how will Miss Gu cope with it?"
Sui Lian didn’t know how to answer this question, but he must avenge himself.
The Tiansha faction consists of Chen Liang and Qi Ronger.
Disciples received them at the entrance of the sect and then arranged them into guest rooms that had been prepared in advance.
Chen Liang has been observing the Quanxu Sect along the way. The Tiansha Sect has gradually declined, and the responsibility falls on his lineage. Sooner or later, he will restore the former glory of the Tiansha Sect, just like the Quanxu Sect.
Qi Ronger has changed a lot in the past two months. She has fully understood what the Quanxu Sect means, and she also understands the difference between herself and the four people she met last time.
"The Quanxu Sect truly lives up to its reputation. Senior Brother Qin may be only nineteen, but he's already so outstanding. He's truly a role model for us."
Chen Liang really admires Qin Yang very much.
Qi Ronger gripped his sword tightly, finally able to see them.
"Brother, do you think we can see Gu Wan? She can't practice, so she shouldn't be able to enter the trial field."
Her water spiritual roots are extremely pure, and she has made rapid progress in her cultivation over the past two months. Her strength speaks for itself. She is completely different from the embarrassed self she was two months ago. She is eager to see Gu Wan.
Chen Liang didn't know either. "Wait a minute. We'll know tomorrow when we enter the venue."
Gu Wan was packing things into her ring.
The maid came to report and asked to see him at the door.
Gu Wan waved her hand and said, "Let him in."
As soon as Sui Lian came in, he saw Gu Wan setting out a table full of food, "What are you doing?"
Gu Wan held up her chin and said, "Junior brother, please help me check whether I should take everything with me. I heard from Senior Brother that I will have to stay in there for a month, and I'm afraid I will starve to death." Her tone was full of worry.
Sui Lian looked at her and said, "Just put them all on. It won't be hard to put them in the ring."
Gu Wan felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so she put them all in with a wave of her hand.
This was Sui Lian's first time in this courtyard. She had only heard that Gu Qingsong had arranged the best for her before, but now she knew that the rumors were true after seeing them.
"I will protect you when you enter the trial field tomorrow."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and hummed, "Well, thank you."
Sui Lian unconsciously clenched his sword, "I'll go back first, you can pack up slowly."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Gu Wan looked at his back as he left and pinched her fingers.
On the second day at the trial field, Gu Qingsong stood on the steps and spoke to the disciples below.
Qi Ronger happened to be standing next to Gu Wan.
"Ms. Gu."
When Gu Wan heard her calling him, he looked at her with some confusion?
"Who are you?"
Chen Liang also saw Gu Wan, smiled and waved slightly.
Gu Wan nodded to him.
Qi Ronger looked at Gu Wan's performance. She obviously knew Chen Liang, but had forgotten herself.
The author has something to say:
