Sui Lian squeezed his sword. If this happened, there would be no possibility for him and Gu Wan. She would probably hate him to death.
Gu Xing raised his eyebrows and smiled, not surprised to see him here.
The two of them sat down at the herbal tea stall at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Xing knew his intuition was correct. He toyed with the jade pendant with his fingers and said casually, "Go ahead, Junior Brother, are you following me?"
Sui Lian pursed his lips tightly and asked, "Do you want to cooperate?"
Gu Xing smiled and said in a puzzled tone, "That's not clear, Junior Brother Sui is not sincere."
Sui Lian looked at him calmly, "My original surname was Zhao, Sui is my mother's surname. Fourteen years ago, Gu Qingsong killed 137 people from my Zhao family."
Gu Xingsui frowned, "Mingjian Villa, Zhao Wuju?"
Sui Lian nodded, "I'm here for revenge. You're the same as me, aren't you? Your mother was also killed by him." He said the last sentence very slowly. He knew very well how to provoke Gu Xing's anger. His mother's murder was a sore spot that he couldn't bring himself to mention.
Gu Xing clenched his fists, his face full of fierceness. "So what? No matter what, Gu Qingsong is my father."
Sui Lian stood up and said, "I think Senior Brother Gu needs to go to Jincheng and investigate thoroughly. I'll wait for your decision."
After saying this, he took his sword and prepared to leave.
Gu Xing looked at his back, "Where's Gu Wan? When you did this, have you ever thought about her situation?"
Sui Lian was stunned for a moment, "There's no way I won't take revenge for her."
Gu Xing stood up suddenly and said, "Then you take advantage of her feelings."
Sui Lian clenched the sword in his hand and said, "This is the only thing I feel sorry for her. I will make it up to her in the future."
Gu Xing watched him stride away, and smiled self-deprecatingly. Compensation? Will Gu Wan ask for your compensation?
Two days later, Gu Xing arrived in Jincheng. The last time he came was during the New Moon Festival.
His investigation was very secretive, and not many people knew about the incident at that time, and even he found out about it later.
In fact, Gu Qingsong and Zhao Wuju were close friends in the past. Later, the two broke up because of a supreme martial arts book. The martial arts book was extremely evil, and Zhao Wuju became possessed during the practice. In order to protect himself, Gu Qingsong killed him.
Zhao Wuju's wife Sui avenged her husband. While they were fighting, an assassin arrived and massacred the Zhao family and took away the martial arts book.
Gu Qingsong was also seriously injured, but fortunately he survived.
Gu Xing did not intend to tell Sui Lian the details of this matter, because only in this way would Sui Lian continue to seek revenge.
He and Gu Wan will never be together.
On the third day after Gu Xing arrived in Jincheng, he discovered that there was someone else who was investigating Sui Lian's affairs just like him, but he didn't expect it to be Qi Ronger.
"Fellow Daoist Qi." Gu Xing never took Qi Ronger seriously. A woman like this would have her thoughts exposed in front of him.
Qi Ronger saluted with a smile, knowing that Gu Xing appeared to be a modest gentleman, but was actually extremely arrogant in his heart.
"Gu Daoyou, it seems like we haven't seen each other for just over half a month."
Gu Xing reached out and poured her a cup of tea. "Why did Fellow Daoist Qi investigate me following my junior brother?"
Qi Ronger tightened her grip on her sword upon hearing him say this, unable to deny it, "Then why did Fellow Daoist Gu investigate Sui Lian?"
Gu Xing chuckled softly, his eyes raised, "Junior Brother Sui is going to marry my sister, and it's not too much to come here to investigate under my father's orders."
Qi Ronger knew that Gu Xing was very smart and didn't intend to hide it. "Gu Daoyou should have found a better excuse to perfunctorily tell me. Master Gu, who dotes on his daughter, would have done a thorough investigation when he was planning the marriage. Why would he need you, an unfavored son, to investigate?"
Gu Xing put away the smile on his face and reached out to pick up his sword. "I advise Fellow Daoist Qi to explain it clearly, otherwise the sword in my hand will be unwilling."
Qi Ronger knew that she could not beat him, and she also knew that he was not afraid of causing any trouble. There was still a gap between the Tiansha Sect and the Quanxu Sect. Even if she was injured, the leader would not say a word for her and offend the Quanxu Sect.
"Gu Daoyou, this is a bit unreasonable. My investigation certainly has its uses. Is it okay for me to have feelings for him?"
This Gu Xing is not a normal person. He is not afraid of anything. He is just a madman.
Gu Xing looked at her with disdain and put down the sword in his hand. "Sui Lian will not like you. Forget this idea."
Qi Ronger's face flushed a little, "Then your sister is not worthy of him."
Gu Xing quickly grabbed Qi Ronger's neck and asked, "Who allowed you to say that?"
Qi Ronger didn't react at all. She coughed uncontrollably and reached out to pat her arm, "You, let go."
Gu Xing snorted coldly before letting go of his hand, "How dare you compete with Gu Wan?"
Qi Ronger felt that she was right and kept panting, "Does Gu Wan know how you feel about her? Bah, pervert."
Gu Xing was filled with murderous intent, and the sword in his hand was about to be unsheathed.
Qi Ronger gritted her teeth and said, "Cooperate with me and break them up. We can both get what we want."
Gu Xing picked up the sword and stood up. "You are not worthy of cooperating with me. Shut your mouth. If you say anything you shouldn't, I will kill you with my own hands."
Qi Ronger felt she could breathe again only after seeing him leave. Gu Xing should already know Sui Lian's origins. Sui Lian would be in danger, so she had to go to Quanxu Sect quickly.
In the study of Quanxu Sect.
Gu Qingsong took out a book of mental skills and handed it to Sui Lian.
"You are very talented. This mental method can help you break through as quickly as possible. Once you reach the Mahayana stage, you can marry Wanwan."
He then folded his hands and respectfully took it.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely practice hard."
Gu Qingsong knew that Sui Lian had a gloomy mind, but as a person who had been through it, he could see that Sui Lian was sincere. With Sui Lian protecting Gu Wan, she would have no worries for the rest of her life.
"Also, I've already told Qin Yang to familiarize you with the Quanxu Sect. The Sect Leader will soon be coming out of seclusion, and the future of the Quanxu Sect depends on your generation. I entrust Wanwan to you, so you must treat her with all your heart."
The answer was respectful.
Gu Qingsong waved his hand to let him go, and then he sighed. In fact, he didn't want to live much longer. After Wanwan got married, he was going to go find her. All these mountains and rivers, the supreme position, he realized now that without her, it was nothing but vanity.
Gu Wan is already at the third level of Nascent Soul, and she is about to reach Mahayana.
Sui Lian returned to his yard and looked at the mental method in his hand. It was indeed very good, but he wanted to kill Gu Qingsong.
Geng Bo brought him a cup of tea.
"Young Master, have some tea."
Sui Lian was in a good mood and he was already able to participate in the affairs of the Quanxu Sect.
"Uncle Geng, if I wait a few more years, I can avenge my parents."
Geng Bo touched the clothes in his hand and said, "Master, do you think this old servant's clothes are good?"
Sui Lian didn't understand why, but he still took a closer look.
"It's very nice, like new."
Uncle Geng nodded. "Yes, this was sent by Miss Gu yesterday. She made it herself and spoke to me for a long time, saying how hard it had been for me to raise the young master over the years and that she would take good care of me in the future."
Sui Lian understood what he meant instantly, and his expression changed for a moment.
Geng Bo sighed. Perhaps it was because he was too old that he no longer cared much about revenge.
"Young Master, you need to think more about whether you should give up on revenge. Miss Gu is a very good girl. If you can marry her, and have a few children in the future, it would be great to live happily together."
As Sui Lian let go of his mental method, he recalled the scenes of massacre in the illusion and remained silent for a long time.
The disciples outside came in.
"Brother Sui, Fellow Daoist Qi from the Tiansha Sect wishes to see you."
Sui Lian frowned slightly, then strode out.
Qi Ronger saw Sui Lian performing the formalities of a girl, and said, "Brother Sui."
Sui Lian clasped his fists and bowed slightly, "Fellow Daoist Qi."
Qi Ronger looked at him and asked, "Can I have a moment to talk?"
Sui Lian was very impatient, but he also maintained a friendly appearance, "Please."
Qi Ronger looked at the place and lowered her voice, "I met Fellow Daoist Gu in Jincheng. He already knows your background."
Sui Lian raised his head and looked at her, "Fellow Daoist Qi, it seems you know it too?"
Seeing that he was not afraid at all, Qi Ronger thought there must be other hidden secrets. She was not stupid and she guessed it immediately. Maybe he and Gu Xing had already cooperated. After all, everyone in the world knew that Gu Xing had a very bad life in Quanxu Sect.
"Yes, but Sui Lian, listen to me. I just care about you, so I want to know. I can help you with whatever you want to do, really." She expressed her thoughts eagerly. Thinking that everything of Gu Wan belonged to her, she was so excited that she could no longer contain herself.
"Besides, I have been given important positions in the Tiansha Sect. I can help you in the future and do what you want."
She is very valued by the headmaster, so give her some more time. "Besides, I have pure water spiritual roots, so I can cultivate very quickly. You will need me."
Sui Lian knew that she loved him.
"So what do you want?"
Qi Ronger was already gambling, and when he heard this, he knew he had won.
"I want Gu Wan's life-extending grass."
His eyes were full of inquiry.
Qi Rong'er was not afraid either. "You are not truly in love with Gu Wan, are you? She will die without the life-extending grass. I like you, Sui Lian. You are so outstanding, you deserve better. I can't spare her life when the matter has already been settled."
She bet on Sui Lian's sincerity.
Sui Lian reached out and pinched her chin, "Why, are you worthy of me?"
Qi Ronger felt the heat from his breath, and her heart itched, "Yes, of course I am worthy of you."
Sui Lian loosened his hand and chuckled, "I won't agree to your request. Go away."
Qi Rong'er knew he still didn't believe in her. "Sui Lian, look at this huge Quanxu Sect. Can you accomplish anything just by relying on you, or even with Gu Xing? Not to mention Gu Qingsong's level, the Quanxu Sect's leader is about to come out of seclusion, right? And there are so many uncles and aunts. Please consider my advice. I don't ask for much."
She had just finished speaking.
Gu Wan was standing not far away, waving at them, then trotting over with her skirt lifted.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, why are you here? You didn't even tell me. I made osmanthus lotus seed cake today. It's sweet but not greasy."
Qi Rong'er put away the expression on her face and smiled gently, "Miss Gu, I came to discuss the inner skills with fellow Daoist Sui. There are other brothers waiting for me at the foot of the mountain, so I can't delay too long."
Sui Lian saw that her hair was a little messy as she ran over, so he reached out to help her tidy it up bit by bit.
Gu Wan held his hand and said, "It's okay. But I can't ask Fellow Daoist Qi to stay for dinner. Next time you come, be sure to tell me in advance. Say hello to Fellow Daoist Chen for me."
Qi Ronger looked at their hands clasped together. In the past, she felt sad. She still remembered the first time she met her. She was leaning on the railing carefree, wearing such a gauze skirt. At that time, she thought she was just like that. But now, she felt more pitiful. Such a high-and-mighty person was also living in lies. She really looked forward to the day when her dream would be shattered.
"Okay, Senior Brother has been talking about you too."
After saying that, he glanced at Sui Lian, clasped his fists and bowed before leaving.
After watching her leave, Gu Wan smiled and took Sui Lian's hand, "Come, I'll ask the maid to bring it to you. Let's eat in your yard."
Sui Lian let her pull him back to his yard.
Geng Bo served tea to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan quickly stepped forward and took it with both hands, "Uncle Geng is old, so he should rest more."
Geng Bo looked at Gu Wan lovingly, "I made this tea specially. It should be perfect with the cakes you made."
Gu Wan was a little surprised, "Really? Then I must try it."
Geng Bo didn't bother them and turned around and left.
Gu Wan also asked the maid to go back, and she pushed the plate of pastries in front of him.
"Try it now, my senior brother said my cooking skills have improved a lot."
Sui Lian took a bite and nodded, "Why do you always give it to the eldest brother first?"
Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, "You're not jealous, are you? That's my senior brother. He's been very kind to me since I was a child, so of course I have to give it to him first."
She is really happy now. The process is progressing continuously and she really can't wait for that day to come.
And the way Qi Ronger looked at him, did he just come to show his loyalty and bring a deal? That's why he felt so sorry for him, with a hint of mockery, pitying him like a fool, mocking him for living a lie.
Sui Lian held Gu Wan's fingers and said, "Then I can only blame myself for not meeting you when I was young." If Gu Qingsong had not killed everyone in his mansion for the sake of his mental method, they should have known each other since childhood.
Gu Wan reached out and pinched his face. "It's okay. We still have a lifetime to live together. It's so long."
Sui Lian hummed, "I have something to do this afternoon, so I can't stay with you all the time. Master said that we can get married when I reach Mahayana."
Gu Wan sighed, seemingly quite helpless. "Alright then, I'll go back and continue tending to the flowers and plants. My senior brother told me that we can catch fish in the back mountains. I'll make some fish soup and bring it to you when I catch some."
Sui Lian looked at Gu Wan in front of him. Why did her last name have to be Gu? "Okay."
Gu Wan picked up the lunch box and waved at him, "I'm leaving first."
Geng Bo came out only after Gu Wan left.
"Young Master."
Sui Lian clenched his fists and said, "I want Wanwan, and I want revenge." Even if she hates me, even if I imprison her, as long as she can stay by my side.
Geng Bo knew that he could not persuade him, so he said nothing more after that.
But within two days, he left Quanxu Sect. He wanted to repay Master Shen for saving his life, and what happened in the future was not something he could control.
Sui Lian did not stop him, he knew that the road to revenge was always difficult.
Qi Ronger received Sui Lian's reply and agreed to cooperate.
She knew that an ambitious man like Sui Lian would never give up revenge just because of Gu Wan.
Five days later, Gu Xing came back from his trip. He first reported to Gu Qingsong, and then went to Gu Wan's yard. He was told that she was fishing in the back mountain. He couldn't help laughing. Everyone has so many secrets, but she is the only one who is so happy and simple. Even that illusion is useless to her.
Gu Wan had just caught two fish. The spiritual energy in the back mountain was very rich and suitable for cultivation.
Gu Xing walked up to her and asked, "How was the harvest?"
When Gu Wan heard the voice, she turned around to look at him, as if she had just discovered him. She jumped up happily and reached out to hug him.
"Ah Xing, you're back? You've been gone for a month, I missed you so much."
After saying that, she let go of his hand and looked at him again, "Well, very good, our Ah Xing has become handsome again."
Gu Xing felt her embrace and said, "This is a gift for you." He took out a hairpin from his hand. The hairpin was emerald green in color, and a peach blossom was carved on the head of the hairpin, which complemented the other and looked very beautiful.
Gu Wan took it and said, "Ah Xing has a really good eye."
Gu Xing accompanied her fishing in the back mountain and brought the fish back to make soup.
Gu Wansheng brought out a bowl and said, "Let's go and take it to Dad."
Gu Xing didn't want to go, but seeing how happy she was, he couldn't bear to disappoint her.
"good."
Gu Qingsong was preparing with Qin Yang for the headmaster's release from seclusion.
Qin Yang saw the two of them and laughed, "You two came here together?"
Gu Wan took the lunch box from Gu Xing's hand and said, "This afternoon, Ah Xing and I went fishing in the back mountain. I made some fish soup specially for Dad."
Qin Yang exclaimed, "Looks like there's only one bowl. Junior Sister didn't give it to me."
Gu Wan glanced at him and said, "If you want to drink, just go to my yard. I didn't know you were here."
Gu Qingsong was originally on a fast, but this was made by his daughter, and it didn't look hot, so he drank it all in one breath.
“It’s delicious.”
After saying that, he saw Gu Xing again. When he came in the afternoon, he was still busy, so he just asked a few questions and let him go.
"It's just right that you are all here. I found a match for Gu Xing. The girl is the niece of Master Chen. I've seen her portrait. She's very pretty. She's a year younger than you, so she's a good match."
Qin Yang and Gu Wan smiled and looked at Gu Xing when they heard it, "Congratulations, Ah Xing."
Gu Xing felt his heart stop beating, thinking that Gu Qingsong had seen something, but it seemed not. If he really saw it, he would die. In the past, he would definitely refuse and deliberately go against Gu Qingsong, but this time he didn't. He saluted with his fists.
"Thank you, Dad."
Qin Yang teased him, "Ah Xing was so happy that he was a little slow to react. Once we have discussed everything, we will prepare a gift for you."
Gu Wan also nodded quickly, "Yes."
Gu Qingsong looked at them having fun and felt very satisfied.
The three of them came out of Gu Qingsong's study together.
Qin Yang pursed his lips and looked at the two of them, "I don't know where my future wife is?"
Gu Wan reached out and patted his shoulder, "Big Brother, you are so high-spirited, your future wife will definitely be the best."
Qin Yang nodded generously, "Junior Sister is right."
Gu Xing looked at Gu Wan's profile and said, "I feel a little tired after coming back today. I'll go back first."
Qin Yang waved his hand and let him go back first, looking at his back and talking to Gu Wan.
"Why do I feel like Ah Xing isn't very happy about knowing about the engagement?"
Gu Wan felt that he roughly knew what was going on. It was probably arranged by Gu Qingsong. He was very dissatisfied, but he didn't make a fuss today, which was considered an improvement.
"Maybe it was too surprising."
Gu Xing did not go back. He took advantage of the night and went to Sui Lian's yard.
Sui Lian knew that he would be back today, but he didn't expect him to come to see him so soon.
"Have you thought it through?"
Gu Xing stood with his back to him, he didn't want to marry anyone else.
"I promise you, but you can't hurt Gu Wan."
Sui Lian was not surprised. "You also remember your identity. Gu Wan is your sister, your biological sister. This will never change in this life."
Gu Xing turned around, grabbed his collar and punched him with all his strength.
Sui Lian took the beating. It had been a long time since he had received such a physical beating. He knew that he was not a human being. He would not do Qi Ronger's deal, and he would not give Gu Xing what he wanted. Gu Wan could only be his. He was a bastard and deserved to be beaten.
"What? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
He grinned and laughed.
Gu Xing was about to punch him again, but stopped abruptly when his hand reached his face. "I don't want her to see you with a face full of wounds tomorrow."
Sui Lian stood up and touched the blood at the corner of his mouth.
"What's the reason you agreed?"
Gu Xing knew that he was in a very embarrassing situation, and his dirty thoughts had defiled her.
"You don't need to know this. I need to know your plan."
Sui Lian led him into the room, holding a lamp. "I have gained Gu Qingsong's trust. He promised me that we would hold the wedding after I reached Mahayana. I have set the date for today. During this time, I need you to drug everyone in the sect. At least on that day, they will lose all their spiritual power."
Gu Xing put his hands behind his back, "On the wedding day? You are really cruel."
The two were silent for a while before Gu Xing continued, "It's far from enough. The headmaster is about to come out of seclusion. He has already reached the level of a spirit."
Sui Lian nodded, "So I'm working with Qi Rong'er, and she will bring help from the Tiansha Sect in the future."
Gu Xing snorted coldly and shook his head. "She likes you, so she's willing to do all these things for you. But what does she want?" He seemed to suddenly remember something. "She wants Wanwan's life?"
Sui Lian didn't want to hide it from him. Gu Xing was too smart. "You need the life-extending grass, and then marry me."
Gu Xing knew Sui Lian wouldn't do that, but Wan Wan liked him so much, "If you marry her, I will take Wan Wan away with me."
Sui Lian looked into his eyes and said word by word, "I can't."
Gu Xing thought that if Gu Wan knew all this, she would definitely hate them. Both of them were more disgusting and despicable than the other.
"I'm going back first."
But he would not give up even if he had a one in ten thousand chance of getting her.
Gu Wan had just returned from outside Sui Lian's yard. Although she only heard the last few words, she could guess roughly what was said. However, Qi Ronger still wanted to kill her. This was good. Neither of them should be soft-hearted to the other. It would be best if it was either you die or I live. She liked such an opponent.
But why did Gu Xing agree to it? It was obviously not right.
Gu Wan drew a big cross on the paper.
On the eighth day of the eighth month, the leader of the Quanxu sect came out of seclusion.
Gu Wan looked at his uncle, but he was dying, so this retreat was not going well. If it weren't for his sudden death, Sui Lian and Gu Xing would not have been able to succeed so easily in the future.
Without the Wutun beast, there wouldn't be such a bloody battle, or at least not so many people would have died.
Gu Qingsong and the sect leader are brothers, and they have just been out of seclusion for a short time.
The two of them locked themselves in a room and talked inside.
