There are still two days left before leaving the trial field, and overall it can be considered a successful completion.
Qi Ronger went to the stream to wash her face, then turned to look at Gu Wan who was standing aside. She stood there alone, as if she had merged into one with the majestic mountains and rivers, isolated from the world.
Gu Wan stood with her hands behind her back, using her consciousness to sense the spirit beast that had reached the Mahayana stage. This spirit beast was called Wutun Beast, and was originally a snake. Later, it signed a contract with Lian. More than half of the disciples of Quanxu Sect died at its hands, including Qin Yang. Such a famous young man was eventually killed without a trace left.
She has always been grateful, and Qin Yang is a good person. At least he is a gift to the original owner.
For the original owner, Qin Yang, who grew up with her and was like her biological brother, ended up in such a miserable way. How sad she must have been.
Qi Ronger slowly walked to Gu Wan's side.
"Ms. Gu."
Gu Wan hummed softly and turned to look at her, "What's the matter?"
Qi Ronger didn't know why, but she was still so unconfident when facing Gu Wan. It might be because she was in such a mess when she first met her, and she had always felt inferior to her since then.
Gu Wan could feel her emotional changes. In fact, when she was completing the task, she only focused on conquering the male protagonist and other requests from the original owner. She rarely had any direct communication with the original female protagonist. Qi Ronger was the person she had met the most.
The biggest mistake Qi Ronger had ever made was not falling in love with Sui Lian, but using means to make Sui Lian take away the original owner's life-extending grass, causing her to die in such pain.
Gu Wan had no intention of letting her go.
Qi Ronger looked at the towering mountains in front of the stream and felt the cool breeze from the mountain stream. "It's okay."
Gu Wan smiled harmlessly, "Then let's go back." She had already found the location of the beast. She was now breaking through the Jindan stage. If she killed it and obtained the secret method, she could take another step forward.
Sui Lian and the other three were meditating, making final adjustments, and leaving the trial field.
Qi Ronger looked at Gu Wan's back, and for some reason, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and there was no place for my little thoughts to hide in front of her.
Sui Lian felt Gu Wan coming back, so he withdrew his hand and opened his eyes.
Gu Wan sat beside him and said, "I was just standing by the stream and saw the flowers blooming beautifully. We have nothing to do anyway, so why not go over and take a look?"
Ever since Sui Lian made up his mind that day, he has obeyed all of Gu Wan's requests. However, he didn't know whether it was out of guilt or he just wanted Gu Wan to trust him infinitely.
"good."
Chen Liang's injuries have healed well. He gained a lot from this trial and is in a very good mood.
"I think so too. We've all been tired for so long, we should relax a bit."
Gu Xing didn't say anything. He had no objection and just followed silently.
Gu Wan walked silently in front. If Gu Xing could be killed this time, half of the mission would be completed.
It took a few people half a day to reach the opposite mountain. The sun was setting at this time, and the scenery was even better when standing on the mountain.
Chen Liang was quite impressed. "I didn't expect that a trial field in the Quanxu Sect would have such a beautiful view. It's really beautiful."
Gu Wan looked at the water under the setting sun, which was covered with a layer of golden light and sparkled.
Qi Rong'er was standing on the far right. She went to the side and picked a flower. "Hey, what is this place?"
Gu Wan moved her little finger and replied, "What?" Then she walked over to take a look curiously.
Sui Lian also followed behind.
Gu Wan looked at the characters engraved on the stone. These should be the characters left by the ancestors of the Quanxu Sect to suppress the Wutun beast, but fortunately they could not understand the characters.
Chen Liang cleared the weeds from the cave entrance and asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Gu Wan nodded, "Perhaps there is some kind of mental method in it, or perhaps this is the last major hurdle in the trial field."
Chen Liang hesitated when he heard this, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and said, "Okay, let's go in."
The cave was dark and damp, and there was a smell of blood.
Sui Lian's first reaction was to grab Gu Wan's hand and say, "Follow me closely."
Gu Wan nodded.
They all heard it in the quiet cave.
Chen Liang was already familiar with them, and he joked as he walked, "Friend Sui and Miss Gu have a wonderful relationship. When you get married, please send me an invitation. I will definitely give you a wedding gift."
Gu Wan wasn't shy, because the wedding was a bloodbath. "Okay, I don't want Fellow Daoist Chen to give you a less than outstanding gift."
Chen Liang burst into laughter in the cave.
Sui Lian thought about the question Geng Bo asked him. He had no answer, but no matter what, he should not choose Gu Wan. The wedding day would be the day when they would fall out.
Gu Wan felt Sui Lian tighten his grip on her hand.
Men are always like this, they think their love is as deep as the sea, but they are still not as good as Gu Qingsong.
Gu Xing glanced sideways and saw their hands clasped together, but no one paid any attention in the darkness.
Gu Wan just wanted to make a breakthrough as soon as possible. The mental method guarded by this Wutun beast was her second goal.
It would be even better if we could kill Gu Xing by borrowing his knife.
The group reached the innermost part while talking.
Chen Liang was at the front, and when he saw the big monster, he was so scared that he couldn't say a word.
Sui Lian and Gu Xing subconsciously protected Gu Wan behind them.
Gu Wan also took a step back and saw the suppressing spell on the stone wall on the right. She gathered a dark light in her palm and destroyed the spell.
Chen Liang swallowed his saliva.
"Should we run first?" He spoke a little unsteadily.
Sui Lian managed to remain calm, "It should have been suppressed by our predecessors by now, there's no need to worry."
Gu Wan was watching the fun from behind. No, no one could escape soon.
Qi Ronger gripped the hilt tightly. "I accidentally saw a record in a book that it should be the Wutun Beast. It is said that it was suppressed by our predecessors a long time ago. I didn't expect it to be in the Quanxu Sect."
As he spoke, the Wutun beast roared.
Gu Wan discovered that it had no intelligence.
Qin Yang, who was patrolling outside the trial field, frowned and turned to ask the disciples behind him, "Did you hear any sound?"
The disciple shook his head, "Brother Qin, no."
Gu Xing's eyes widened. "Oh no, the suppression is ineffective."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanism at the cave entrance opened. This is the next mechanism that will be activated once the suppression fails. The cave entrance has been sealed.
Even if Gu Wan placed a signal in the cave, no one would notice it.
Sui Lian held the sword, his eyes fierce, "Then we can only fight."
Chen Liang also reluctantly drew his sword, "Okay."
Gu Xing turned to look at Gu Wan, "Go to the cave entrance. If the mechanism is activated, run out and send a signal."
Gu Wan pursed her lips, nodded, and then turned back to the cave entrance.
The Wutun beast hasn't seen humans for many years, and its attacks are deadly.
After a hundred moves, Sui Lian could no longer hold on and was defeated, falling to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to be stepped on by the Wutun beast.
Gu Xing raised his sword to block it for him.
Sui Lian looked at him, struggled to stand up, and walked forward again.
Gu Wan watched with great interest.
The four men only held out for half an hour before they were all seriously injured.
Gu Wan trotted over to support Sui Lian, her eyes reddening, "Sui Lian, this is the elixir, you take it first."
There were big beads of sweat on Sui Lian's forehead. "Wan Wan, don't cry. I'm fine."
Gu Wan sniffed, fed the pill to him personally, pursed her lips and pretended to be calm, "I'm not crying."
Sui Lian reached out and touched her head. In fact, it was good not to seek revenge. She just stayed with Gu Wan like this. She was only thinking about herself, but she was afraid that she would die here today.
"Wanwan, we will definitely get out."
Gu Xing fell at their feet again.
Gu Wan half-knelt down and picked him up, then placed the pill in his mouth and cried, "Ah Xing, how are you?"
Gu Xing shook his head. "Nothing." He stepped forward again, his sword in hand. He hadn't avenged his grudge yet, and hadn't explained his situation to Gu Wan. How could he die? More importantly, if he died now, who would be able to protect her?
Gu Wan watched them coming forward wave after wave, rubbed his palms, and gave them another half hour, otherwise even if he didn't take action, the Quanxu Sect would notice something unusual.
She found a corner and watched as they finally collapsed. Their clothes were torn and their bodies were covered with wounds. The fatal point of the Wutun beast was the abdomen.
Gu Wan walked to a hidden position and took action when they were not paying attention. It was also thanks to the damage they had done to the Swallowing Black Beast in the early stage, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to do it on his own.
The cave was already dark, and the vision was obstructed.
The four people were all acting on instinct. Seeing that the Wutun Beast did not react, they thought they had killed it and fainted from exhaustion.
Gu Wan walked over step by step, took the book of mental skills guarded by the Wutun beast, and flipped through two pages calmly. It was indeed good, so he went to the entrance of the cave, turned on the switch, opened the door, and sent a signal.
He killed the Wutun beast and got the secret method. Although Gu Xing was not killed, it was not a loss.
Qin Yang saw the signal outside. It was from his junior sister. Her signal was different from others. It was unique to her. He immediately took his disciples into the training ground.
Gu Qingsong also saw the direction of the signal, and had a thousand guesses in his mind, so he hurried over from the sect.
When Qin Yang arrived, he saw Gu Wan bandaging their wounds one by one, but they were still unconscious.
"Junior sister, junior sister, are you okay?"
When Gu Wan saw Qin Yang, it seemed as if all her composure collapsed at this moment, and she hugged him tightly.
"Big Brother, I'm so scared."
Qin Yang reached out and patted her shoulder. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's okay. I'm here."
Gu Wan choked up and let go of her hand, "Big Brother, please save them quickly."
Other disciples have already started rescuing people.
Gu Qingsong saw them outside the trial field. He was concerned about his daughter at first, but was relieved when he saw that her dress was just torn and her face was a little dirty, and nothing serious happened.
"It's all right, it's all right."
The other four people have been sent to the pharmacy.
Qin Yang accompanied Gu Wan, "Go back and change your clothes and wash your face first. I'm here."
Gu Wan shook her head stubbornly, "No, I want to wait until they wake up."
Gu Qingsong still found it hard to believe that just a few of them, teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old who were at most at the Jindan stage, could kill the Wutun Beast. However, it seemed that both the Quanxu Sect and the Tiansha Sect would have successors in the future.
And he did not choose the wrong person. Sui Lian will definitely protect Wanwan for her whole life.
Li Xiutian took their pulses, wrote out a prescription and asked his disciples to boil the medicine, then stood up and told Gu Qingsong about the situation.
"It's just that my spiritual energy is somewhat depleted, I have some flesh wounds, and I'm also very tired. Otherwise, it's nothing serious. I'll recover after some rest."
Gu Qingsong nodded. "Don't worry now. Go back and clean yourself up. I'll ask the kitchen to make you a few dishes you like. You've been in the trial field for a month and you've lost a lot of weight."
Gu Wan looked at them again and said, "Then I'll go back and rest for a while, and then come back to take care of them."
Gu Qingsong couldn't persuade her and had to agree.
Qin Yang accompanied her back.
Li Xiutian looked at Gu Qingsong and raised his eyebrows.
"Are you relieved? This time they encountered such a situation, but your daughter came back safe and sound."
Gu Qingsong stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, "I'm not reassured either. Perhaps he's just worried about me and doesn't dare to do anything to Wanwan."
Li Xiutian shook his head. Gu Qingsong was extremely cautious when it came to anything related to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan returned to her yard, washed up, and had a meal. Then she sent everyone out and took out her mental method to start practicing. In just two hours, she had already entered the Nascent Soul stage. Some people may need decades to practice from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, and some may even need a hundred years. Satisfied, she put away the mental method.
She then went to the pharmacy.
Li Xiutian was drying herbs and smiled when he saw her coming.
"But I'm well rested."
Gu Wan bowed respectfully, "Yes, thank you, Uncle Li."
Li Xiutian sighed, "Master Chen of the Tiansha Sect has learned of this and has rushed here as quickly as possible. Your father is accompanying him in the front hall. This matter has spread throughout the entire cultivation world."
Gu Wan knew that the talented young man had a bright future after joining forces to kill the Mahayana Wutun Beast. It was likely that Sect Master Chen was more surprised than frightened at this moment, after all, such an accomplished young man was his son.
"Have they woken up yet?"
Li Xiutian shook his head, "He's seriously injured, it'll take time."
Gu Wan went in to see them, although she had to save face, and then she came out and sat in the courtyard with her chin in her hand, thinking.
Li Xiutian was holding a winnowing basket of dried herbs. "If you have nothing to do, please help me look at the herbs. Also, do you want to become my disciple? My medical skills are quite impressive."
Gu Wan glanced at him and was about to ask a question when she heard footsteps outside.
Gu Qingsong was followed by a middle-aged man.
Li Xiutian and Gu Wan also stood up to greet them.
"They are all recovering here. This is my junior fellow apprentice, Li Xiutian."
Sect Leader Chen had a smile on his face and clasped his hands together, "Please trouble you, Brother Li."
Li Xiutian also returned the greeting, "As it should be. We are all happy for the children to be able to do such things."
Gu Wan also bowed silently, "Hello, Uncle Chen."
Sect Master Chen nodded kindly. If Gu Wan could practice cultivation, he wouldn't mind letting Chen Liang marry her. This would be beneficial to the development of both of their sects. But since she couldn't practice cultivation at all, then forget it.
"Get up quickly, no need to be polite, good boy, you have suffered."
Gu Wan smiled and stepped aside.
Li Xiutian took them to the room to see. Because of their illness, it was not suitable for them to travel long distances, so Chen Liang and Qi Ronger stayed in Quanxu Sect to recuperate.
Gu Wan stayed in the pharmacy when she had nothing to do.
Two days later, Sui Lian woke up and heard Gu Wan's voice.
"Uncle Li, I don't think your pill is good enough."
"Give it to me, what do you know as a little girl? You take my pills every day if you don't have any."
"Hey, Uncle Li, why are you becoming more and more stingy? You can't be like this."
…
Sui Lian looked at the sunlight outside the window and listened to Gu Wan's voice. After experiencing that life and death, he felt that this moment was so beautiful. He slowly stood up and walked to the door step by step.
Gu Wan saw him in the yard at a glance, stood up and trotted to him.
"You, you woke up, why didn't you call me?"
As she spoke, her nose felt sore and she began to cry.
Sui Lian reached out and hugged her, "Why are you crying? I'm fine."
Gu Wan wiped her tears carelessly, "I didn't cry. Which eye of yours saw me cry?"
Sui Lian chuckled softly and stroked her hair. "Okay, I didn't see you cry. You were very strong and didn't cry in the cave. Why are you crying this time?"
Gu Wan lowered her head and sobbed softly.
Li Xiutian came over and sighed, "It's good that you're awake. This girl has been guarding here all the time. She refused to leave no matter what I said, and she kept making trouble every day. You should get better soon and take her away."
Sui Lian clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes, thank you, Uncle Li."
Li Xiutian just sighed that Gu Qingsong had a good eye for people. This child really had a promising future, and his feelings for Gu Wan were genuine.
As soon as Gu Xing woke up, he left the pharmacy and returned to his own courtyard.
Gu Wan took the medicine from Uncle Li and went to see him in the evening. When she arrived, he was sitting in the yard reading a book.
The bamboo leaves in the yard rustled in the wind, and although it was summer, there was still a chill in the air.
Gu Xing was wearing ordinary clothes, with his hair barely tied up. Seeing that she looked a little uncomfortable, he tightened his grip on the book and then closed it.
"sit."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and sat opposite him.
"I heard from Uncle Li that you were back, so I brought some medicine to see you." He paused, looked at the tea set on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea. "I hope you won't chase me away again this time."
Gu Xing answered the question directly, "This tea is cold."
Gu Wan picked it up and took a sip. "I haven't had your tea in several visits. Ah Xing is really too stingy."
Gu Xing's eyes were dark and hard to read. "No, you're not in good health and can't drink cold drinks."
Gu Wan put down the teacup. "Good tea. I'm feeling much better now. It's okay to drink it cold." She took out the medicine and said, "Master Li prepared it. Just take it according to the instructions on the bottle. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
The tassels on her ears are made of green jade, which is elegant and simple and looks very beautiful.
Gu Xing lowered his head and reached out to hold her wrist, "I'm sorry."
Gu Wan has a lot of tasks to do, and the three words she hears the most are "sorry".
"No need to say sorry, I understand what you mean, Ah Xing. I treat you as a family member. I know you hate me, and I won't cling to you like before, self-righteously doing it for your own good."
Gu Xing frowned upon hearing this and stood up as well. "No, I don't hate you. I also consider you as my family. You said you are my sister and will protect me."
Gu Wan looked up at him. Although he was one year older than him, Gu Xing was already a head taller than her. She sighed slightly, seeming helpless.
"Okay, I get it. I know what Ah Xing means."
Gu Xing held Gu Wan's hand and smiled.
"elder sister."
Gu Wan reached out and touched his head. "Then you should have a good rest. When you are well again, there is still a lot of work for you, Senior Brother."
Gu Xing nodded obediently.
Gu Wan slowly walked out of his yard. There was no problem in the execution of the mission. She just felt that Gu Xing seemed to have become more paranoid.
Half a month later, Chen Liang and Qi Ronger were ready to leave.
Several people were talking together in Gu Wan's yard.
Chen Liang still sighed when he thought about what happened that day, "I never thought we would have such explosive power."
Qi Ronger was looking at Gu Wan's yard. It was so big and exquisite.
Sui Lian and Gu Xing were not talkative people, they just drank tea silently.
Gu Wan smiled and nodded, "Fellow Daoist Chen, don't underestimate yourself. You all gave your all that day. Once the spirit beast died and the door opened, I immediately gave the signal."
Chen Liang sighed and raised his teacup. "Today, I will offer tea instead of wine. I hope that in the future, we can all achieve great things, uphold justice, and live up to all our learning."
Gu Wan also raised her teacup and said, "Uphold justice."
After Chen Liang and Qi Ronger left, Gu Xing asked to go down the mountain to travel.
Gu Qingsong left Gu Xing alone in the study and looked at him carefully.
"That year, you deliberately pushed Gu Wan into the river and killed her. I didn't kill you because of Gu Wanwan's face. Now she regards you as a family member. If you let her down again and make her sad, I will never let you go."
The oppressive feeling on him weighed on Gu Xing along with the words he spoke.
Gu Xing straightened his back and pursed his lips.
"yes."
Gu Qingsong snorted coldly, "You are just like your mother, greedy and insatiable. Later, you can work with Qin Yang with peace of mind, put away those little calculations in your heart, and go down the mountain if you want."
Gu Xing clasped his fists and bowed, then turned around to leave when he heard a voice behind him.
"If you do anything again, I'll tell her about you pushing Wanwan. Guess how she'll look at you. So, Gu Xing, you know what to do."
Gu Qingsong looked down on him, and always did.
Gu Xing was stunned, then he gripped the sword tightly and strode out.
Gu Wan had been waiting at the study door. When she saw him come out, she trotted over to him and asked, "What did Dad say in there?"
Gu Xing couldn't really laugh, and could only say two dry words, "Nothing."
Gu Wan took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat carefully. "It's okay. You have so much sweat on your forehead and you look so bad. He must have said something unpleasant again. Don't worry, I will tell him. You must be careful when you go down the mountain this time. Your injuries are not healed yet."
Gu Xing looked at her nagging, and even though he was unwilling, he suppressed it and said, "Okay."
He went down the mountain to Jincheng this time, so his presence was very suspicious.
"Is there anything you want that I can bring you?"
Gu Wan put away the handkerchief and slowly walked down the stairs with him. "Why are you like Senior Brother, always asking me if there is anything I want? I just want you all to come back safely."
No one ever told Gu Xing these things every time he went down the mountain. He used to envy his senior brother, and now he also had such instructions.
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Wan smiled and put the handkerchief in his hand, "I see you don't even have one, use mine first."
Gu Xing met Sui Lian at the foot of Quanxu Sect's mountain.
