Gu Qingsong took his senior brother's pulse and his expression suddenly changed.
"Brother, this?" How could he be so weak?
The headmaster stroked his beard and sighed, "I've seen all the secrets of heaven, but I failed to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Naturally, my life is coming to an end. Although we cultivators live longer than ordinary people, our fate will end very quickly."
Gu Qingsong frowned, "Brother, there must be a way to save you."
The Sect Leader coughed twice. "Qingsong, listen to me! The Quanxu Sect is facing a great calamity. If we can survive it, our descendants will live forever. If we can't, rivers of blood will flow. I've fought tooth and nail to get this information. The rest of the Quanxu Sect's affairs are in your hands."
After saying that, he took out the leader's token.
Gu Qingsong knelt on one knee and raised his hands above his head to receive the token.
The headmaster reached out his hand and helped him up, "Gather all the disciples."
Gu Qingsong had been taken care of by his senior brother since he was young. After knowing him for so many years, he felt very sad to know that his senior brother would not live long. However, compared with his personal sadness, the future of Quanxu Sect was more important.
"yes."
The Quanxu Sect sent out an emergency signal, and disciples in various places were required to return quickly upon seeing the signal.
The Sect Master looked at his direct disciples and felt very pleased, but his face was startled when he saw Gu Wan.
"Come, Wanwan, come before Master."
Gu Wan walked up slowly and knelt down to pay her respects.
The headmaster helped her up personally.
"Wanwan has grown up and become more beautiful." He patted her hand, his thumb lingering on her pulse for a moment before retracting it. "Good girl."
Gu Wan smiled sweetly, "Master, thank you for the compliment."
The headmaster nodded. He thought that according to the hint he had received, he had found the person who could turn the situation around. This way, he could finally rest in peace.
All the disciples of Quanxu Sect returned in less than half a day.
The master saw all the disciples in the hall.
"The position of Sect Leader has been passed to Gu Qingsong. You must not cause trouble outside. Remember that Quanxu Sect disciples should uphold justice and prioritize self-cultivation and self-reliance. You must not blindly kill, prioritize wealth, or act recklessly."
"Yes, disciple will follow the master's instructions."
Answered in unison.
The headmaster also slowly closed his eyes.
Gu Qingsong and several of his fellow apprentice brothers started crying.
Gu Wan looked up. Her status in the Quanxu Sect was not low, so she was kneeling in the front. The head master looked very weak and exhausted, which must be due to a failure in his retreat.
The Quanxu Sect was shrouded in white for a moment.
Various cultivation sects also came to pay their respects.
The leader of Tiansha Sect, Chen, came with Chen Liang and Qi Ronger.
Gu Qingsong looked indifferent.
Sect Leader Chen sighed. This sect leader was the most senior person in recent years. When he was young, he was also famous throughout the entire cultivation world. No one could match his demeanor.
"Master Gu, I express my condolences."
Gu Qingsong bowed in return.
Chen Liang and Qi Ronger were dressed very simply. They were juniors and were received by Qin Yang.
"Brother Qin, I'm so sorry."
Chen Liang also respected his predecessors very much. No matter what, it was a loss for everyone in the cultivation world.
Qin Yang reluctantly hummed a sound, "Those who practice cultivation should be indifferent to matters of life and death, but humans are not plants."
Chen Liang also understood.
Qi Ronger looked at Gu Wan. She seemed to have become more beautiful. She didn't know if it was because of the clothes she was wearing. She was dressed in white and had no jewelry on her head. Her plain face was more moving than before.
"Miss Gu, please accept my condolences. Your health is not good to begin with, and it's not good to be overly sad, and you have to make others worry about you."
Gu Wan didn't want to talk so much nonsense to her in such a situation.
"Thank you very much."
He just said two words and nothing else, his face was as cold as ice, as if he was keeping people at a distance.
Qin Yang also noticed Gu Wan's attitude.
"Sorry, Junior Sister is in a bad mood."
Qi Ronger was a little embarrassed at first, but finally calmed down.
Chen Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he was just in a bad mood.
"I understand. I understand everything."
Qin Yang called his disciples to take them to the guest room before looking at Gu Wan.
"You just didn't act like yourself."
Gu Wan lowered her head and said nothing, simply because she didn't want to be perfunctory with her.
Qin Yang thought she lowered her head and admitted her mistake, but when he thought about the fact that she was his junior sister whom he had protected since childhood, he suddenly felt that what he had just said was a bit harsh.
"Brother just wronged you, Junior Sister, don't be angry."
Before Gu Wan could react, she heard Qin Yang's apology and sighed in her heart. Qin Yang was really good to the original owner and he was kind to her from the bottom of his heart. So the victim died in front of the original owner. How desperate must the original owner be.
"I'm not angry, don't think too much, brother."
Qin Yang reached out and touched her head. "No matter what happens in the future, I have you, Senior Brother."
Gu Wan looked up at him. Qin Yang had a broad mind, a kind heart, and a bright and clear character. He was worthy of the title of a gentleman.
"Okay, I believe you, brother." I will definitely protect your safety for the original owner.
Sui Lian had just finished arranging guest rooms for the guests, and when he came over, he saw the look in the eyes of the two of them looking at each other from afar. Gu Wan really trusted Qin Yang, and she had never trusted herself so much before.
"Big Brother, Senior Sister."
Qin Yang nodded and said, "Is everything arranged?"
Sui Lian stood in front of him and said, "Yes."
In the evening, Gu Wan returned to her yard, practiced for a while, changed her clothes, and quietly went out.
The three people had already met in Sui Lian's yard.
Gu Xing looked down on Qi Ronger and didn't want to talk much.
"The death of the leader is a good thing for us."
Qi Ronger's eyes can now look at Sui Lian openly, full of love.
"Indeed, I am currently in the Golden Core Stage, and my cultivation is going very smoothly. I am now leading a new batch of disciples for the Tiansha Sect."
Gu Xing remained silent and polished his sword silently.
Continue marking the map as you progress.
"On the wedding day, the Quanxu Sect will definitely be bustling with activity, but I will advise Gu Qingsong to be frugal. Given Wanwan's personality, she will definitely agree. We should try not to invite too many people to prevent things from getting out of control."
Gu Xing was stunned while wiping his sword, "You do understand her."
Qi Ronger glanced at Gu Xing, then at Sui Lian, "We also need a legitimate name, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves to the world."
Sui Lian had already thought about it, "Let's say Gu Qingsong killed his close friend and stole his secret technique. I worked hard for many years and finally succeeded."
Qi Ronger smiled and agreed, "Master Chen is an ambitious man. I will persuade him further when the time comes. He will definitely be willing to help you succeed at this time. You can also inherit the position of Master of the Quanxu Sect."
Gu Xing was not interested in anything they said. He just didn't want to marry someone he didn't love, nor did he want to let Gu Qingsong go. Maybe he had wanted to let him go and live like this for the rest of his life, but this one in ten thousand chance of getting Gu Wan was too tempting, and he was willing to take the risk.
Sui Lian only wants to achieve great things, and is now waiting for him to cultivate to the Mahayana stage so that he can marry Gu Wan.
Gu Wan's cultivation level was higher than theirs. After eavesdropping for a while, she knew their entire plan, but she found it boring. It was exactly the same, except without the Wutun Beast.
She simply walked away. Tiansha Sect? It wasn't Qi Ronger's turn to be in charge yet, and she really didn't like others plotting against her like this.
On the afternoon of the second day, the guests began to leave gradually.
Gu Xing is handling internal affairs.
Qin Yang took Gu Wan and Sui Lian to see the guests off.
Gu Wan bowed and said, "I was in a bad mood yesterday and was not very polite to Fellow Daoist Qi. I am really sorry."
Qi Ronger didn't care. What happened last night was enough to make her happy.
"Miss Gu is very polite, I understand."
After being forgiven, Gu Wan immediately started laughing again and took Qi Ronger's hand affectionately. "I was criticized by Senior Brother yesterday after I went back home. I couldn't sleep last night because of the guilt. I thought I must apologize to Fellow Daoist Qi in person today."
Qi Ronger was a little surprised by Gu Wan's closeness, but she didn't feel that she was a good person. She glanced at Sui Lian. Gu Wan was really spoiled by Gu Qingsong. She had such an innocent personality and she didn't know why Sui Lian liked her, but this feeling was really good.
"Miss Gu is in a serious condition."
Qin Yang watched Gu Wan apologize to Qi Ronger, but he was actually very unhappy and felt sorry for his junior sister.
Gu Wan released her hand, smiled, and took a step back. "Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Qi, have a safe journey."
Chen Liang always felt that something was strange. There was something strange about each of them.
On the way back, Gu Wan looked at the small animal in the palm of her hand. She raised this animal overnight. It can be silently placed on the body of a cultivator. After three years, the cultivator will suddenly die. After the human body dies, the insect will also die naturally. What she controls is the mother insect, which is silent and unharmed.
After the poisoning, he was in a good mood, and it was only three years before their wedding.
It’s not her fault. It was Qi Ronger who took action first.
Qin Yang and the other two went back side by side.
"Junior sister, I'm sorry for wronging you. Actually, with your status, there's no need to apologize to her."
Gu Wan tilted her head and looked at him, with a smile between her eyebrows.
"Big Brother, I usually think you're just a gentleman, but why do you care so much about status? I have to apologize when I do something wrong, and you always tell me that."
Qin Yang's ears turned red when he heard this.
Gu Wan rarely saw him so embarrassed. "Big Brother, you are so biased. This is really not okay. Dad will definitely not like it if he knows."
Qin Yang knew that she was definitely teasing him again, "You, aren't I partial to you? And you're teasing me like this."
Sui Lian watched them talking and laughing from the side and was silent for a long time. Does Qin Yang like Gu Wan?
From then on, Gu Qingsong became even busier as the head of the sect, and the same went for Qin Yang, Sui Lian, and Gu Xing.
Gu Wan practiced peacefully in her own yard. She felt that only when she had power in her own hands would she feel secure and not dependent on anyone else.
Tiansha Sect.
Qi Ronger always feels that there is a bottleneck in his practice recently, and his progress is slow. The more this happens, the more anxious he becomes.
Gu Wan would write to Chen Liang from time to time, and they quickly became familiar with each other. Sometimes, Gu Wan could even casually point out some of his problems in cultivation with just a few words.
Chen Liang felt more and more that Gu Wan was a powerful woman. If she could practice, she would definitely be no worse than anyone else.
But not long after, Sui Lian received a letter from Qi Ronger.
A spiritual beast appeared in Jinling. It was at the Mahayana level and was very ferocious. If it could be contracted and used by oneself, it would definitely be very convenient in the future.
Sui Lian handed the letter to Gu Xing for him to read.
"What do you think? Do you want to go?"
Gu Xing knew that this time they could only succeed and not fail. One more helper would give them more confidence. "You can go."
Sui Lian also thought so, "Then I will go over and you can take care of it in the sect."
Gu Xing nodded.
Gu Wan knew it earlier than Sui Lian.
Sui Lian cleverly revealed this matter to Gu Qingsong.
Gu Qingsong always remembered what the head brother said when he left, "Go, it's our duty as cultivators." The spiritual beasts that harm the people must be eliminated.
Sui Lian felt only mockery when he heard this.
"Then disciple, prepare everything and set off today."
Gu Qingsong nodded, "Have you been practicing well recently?"
Sui Lian is still in the bottleneck period and he has not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Gu Qingsong knew when he didn't answer, "This trip might help you break through, don't worry."
He then clasped his fists and bowed in response.
Chen Liang of Tiansha Sect is now at the third level of Golden Core, and this time he is setting off with Qi Ronger.
Gu Wan escorted Sui Lian to the foot of the sect's mountain and said, "Be safe. I'll wait for you at home."
Sui Lian reached out and touched her head, "Okay, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
Gu Xing came with Gu Wan to see him off, and his tone was not very good, "Leave with Junior Brother as soon as possible, the sun is getting late."
Sui Lian nodded and waved goodbye to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan stood there and waited until she could no longer see him before she sighed and went back.
"Ah Xing, let's go."
Gu Xing stood beside her, sword in hand, glancing at her from the side as if she was somewhat lost. "Sister, if Junior Brother Sui did something to offend you, what would you do?"
Gu Wan frowned at him, then smiled, "Why are all the questions you ask today so strange? How could Sui Lian do something to let me down?"
Of course, I'll only avenge him if he suffers a hundred times more, silly child.
Gu Xing's eyes were a little lonely, "Sister, if, if it's just the two of us in the future, I will protect you."
Gu Wan raised her hand just enough to touch his head, "Yes, our Ah Xing can protect his sister when he grows up. Of course I believe that."
Then she thought, "It's said that Master Chen's niece will be coming tomorrow. You should dress up nicely tomorrow and wear the clothes I gave you. Try to make the girl like you this time."
Gu Xing looked at Gu Wan's enthusiastic introduction to him and felt very annoyed. "Sister, I don't want to get married."
Gu Wan suppressed her impatience and told you not to rebel if it wasn't for the mission.
"If Ah Xing really doesn't like it, I'll go talk to Daddy, but as a man, I can't make a strange woman sad, nor can I embarrass her, understand?"
Gu Xing pursed his lips and hummed, "Sorry, sister, I was just a little bored."
Gu Wan reached out and pulled his sleeve, "No need to say all this to your sister, I'm so tired. Ah Xing, let me pull your sleeve and walk." There were still many steps to go from the foot of the mountain to the door.
Gu Xing immediately half bent down.
"I'll carry you."
Gu Wan tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Then let Ah Xing carry me."
Gu Xing was very willing. He could carry Gu Wan on his back and walk up a very long flight of stairs.
On the second day, Qin Yang arranged for Gu Wan to come out to pick up the girl. There were very few female disciples in the Quanxu Sect, and Gu Wan was the only one with the right status and position.
Gu Wan really wanted to see her, so she waited at the door early in the morning. It was already autumn and the weather was a bit cool. The maid also brought Gu Wan a cloak.
The girl was also a cultivator. She held a sword in her hand, her hair was tied up, her eyebrows were sharp and her eyes were bright, she looked very heroic.
Gu Wan thought this girl was quite nice, "Gu Wan, please come in."
"I'm Liang Shuang, Miss Gu, you don't have to be polite." She saluted Gu Wan with her sword in her arms.
Gu Wan smiled and spoke to her, "Ah Xing will be here soon. He has a cold temper and doesn't like to talk, but he's a good person."
Liang Shuang took a sip of tea and said, "Thank you."
When Gu Xingjin entered the yard, the two men greeted each other.
"Then you two can talk slowly first. I'll go find Daddy."
Gu Wan hoped that Gu Xing would like her, and the two of them fell in love with each other, and he finally withdrew from Sui Lian's three-person organization.
Liang Shuang pulled Gu Wan's wrist and said, "No need, Miss Gu. I just want to make it clear in front of you. I already have a crush on someone, my cousin, Chen Liang. I came here because of my family elders. I'm really sorry. I'll go see Master Gu later and then go down the mountain on my own."
Gu Xing didn't react much after hearing this, he just saluted with his sword in his arms.
Gu Wan thought she was pretty good and sincere, and was a good match for Chen Liang. On the contrary, Gu Xing was not worthy of her.
"Okay, I'll take you to see my dad."
Liang Shuang thanked him with a smile, and kept observing Gu Wan on the way to the front hall.
"I often hear my cousin mention you, and I feel very unhappy. I agreed to come this time because I want to get to know what kind of person Miss Gu is."
Gu Wan laughed in her heart. It was really hard not to like such a frank woman.
"How is it? Did you disappoint Fellow Daoist Liang?"
Liang Shuang shook her head. "No, Miss Gu is a very open-minded person. I was narrow-minded before."
Gu Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Daoyou Chen and I are just ordinary friends. I am also engaged, so Daoyou Liang, please rest assured."
Liang Shuang said calmly, "Yes."
Gu Qingsong only found out about these things after Liang Shuang left, and he would not force them to be together.
"Young people nowadays are really extraordinary."
Gu Wan poured him a cup of tea and said, "Daddy, please take care of your health too."
There was a hint of fatigue between Gu Qingsong's brows. No matter how much he did, he would not feel tired as long as he could see his daughter so carefree.
"Let's call off this marriage. I will explain this to Sect Leader Chen and choose another one for Gu Xing."
As soon as Gu Wan came out of the front hall, she saw Gu Xing waiting there.
"That's what Dad said, but marriages are slow to come, so you don't have to worry."
Gu Xing agreed and was about to say something when he was called away by the disciple sent by Qin Yang.
Gu Wan returned to her yard and made a puppet of her own. She wanted to rush over as soon as possible.
Chen Liang didn't find it strange to meet Sui Lian. After all, the Quanxu Sect must know about such a big thing.
"Why is it that only Fellow Daoist Sui is here? Isn't Miss Gu here?"
Sui Lian shook his head, "She is not in good health and is recuperating at home."
Chen Liang felt that he was not doing a very good job as a good friend, and thought about sending more medicinal materials to Gu Wan after returning, as he had received so much help.
Qi Ronger arrived earlier and explained the situation to Lian first.
"And it is said that the mental method guarded by this spirit beast is top-notch. Knowing it can lead to many breakthroughs."
Chen Liang frowned. He was not a narrow-minded person. It was just that they had just learned the news. Junior Sister Qi actually told others so frankly, and her tone was full of trust.
Gu Wan arrived the next day and used disguise techniques so no one recognized her.
But this time it is very difficult to deal with the spirit beast.
Sui Lian wanted to sign a contract with it, but it was difficult, so he couldn't hurt it.
Gu Wan is different. She will not give Sui Lian any chance to sign a contract, otherwise many disciples of Quanxu Sect will die.
Her moves were deadly.
Sui Lian took the sword and started fighting with her.
Gu Wan slapped him with a palm, "My fellow Daoist, you can't beat me."
Sui Lian spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt on one knee with his sword in hand, and said, "May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?"
Gu Wan smiled, the hairpin on her head swaying beautifully. "I'm just a casual cultivator, you don't need to know."
Qi Ronger stepped forward and quickly helped Sui Lian up, her eyes filled with worry, "Sui Lian, are you okay?"
Gu Wan watched the two of them kissing each other leisurely. Did Sui Lian know that she was engaged?
"Are you the disciple of the Quanxu Sect, Sui Lian? Is this Miss Gu? I heard that she is a waste and cannot practice cultivation, right?"
Chen Liang stood aside with a frown on his face. He also felt that his junior sister seemed too close to Lian.
Sui Lian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Gu Wan clicked her tongue twice, "It seems this isn't Miss Gu. I heard she's very beautiful, but your relationship isn't okay, is it?"
She recalled the day when she spoke for Sui Lian in the trial field, and the current scene was quite interesting.
Qi Ronger felt that the person in front of her didn't care about face at all and was mocking her openly and secretly. Isn't this just saying that she is not as good-looking as Gu Wan?
Sui Lian pushed Qi Ronger away.
"It's no use for my fellow Daoist to provoke me. I have captured this spirit beast today."
Gu Wan was too familiar with his every move, so she had no pressure in blocking him, and she hit him with all her might, "In this world, strength speaks. Fellow Daoist, you are still too naive."
After saying this, she didn't even look at Sui Lian who was lying on the ground. She turned around and flew to the location of the spirit beast. She had figured out the fatal weakness of this spirit beast in the past few days. It took only more than a hundred moves for it to die. She took the book of mental skills away.
Qi Ronger knew that she couldn't beat her, so she just stood there and looked at her angrily.
Gu Wan glanced at Qi Ronger coldly.
Qi Ronger helped him up and buried him.
Chen Liang also came to help.
"Fellow Daoist Sui, how are you?" He hurriedly took out a pill and said, "First, concentrate your mind and gather your energy."
After taking the medicine, Sui Lian sat down to meditate and rest.
Chen Liang was still thinking about the woman who had just left. She looked very young, but she was already at the third level of Nascent Soul, and it seemed that she was about to break through to the Mahayana stage.
Qi Ronger didn't expect that her good plan would be snatched away by a casual cultivator, and Sui Lian was seriously injured.
Chen Liang turned his gaze to Qi Ronger again.
"Junior sister, come here for a moment."
Qi Ronger glanced at Sui Lian before walking over.
Chen Liang wasn't stupid, he just didn't observe things so carefully. "What's going on between you and Fellow Daoist Sui?"
Qi Ronger was shocked when she saw the way he was scrutinizing her. "Master, Senior Brother, we are just ordinary fellow Taoists. He saved me many times during the trial field, and I am just grateful in my heart."
Chen Liang frowned and was silent for a long time. "You must keep your distance from me from now on. When you reach the Mahayana stage, you will marry Miss Gu. We cultivators must be upright and honest and not have any other thoughts."
Qi Ronger's face felt a little hot when her thoughts were spoken. Her reputation had been severely trampled on again and again today.
"Brother is right. I will pay attention to it next time."
Chen Liang just nodded and said nothing more.
Gu Wan rushed back to Quanxu Sect overnight, took back the puppet, washed up before looking at the mental method in his hand. He had no use for it, so he put it into the storage ring. But when he thought of the palm strike today, he laughed.
