Chapter 235 I Knitted the Handkerchief
Fairy Ling obviously didn't expect that they would give her gifts.
She looked at the handkerchief used to wipe her sweat, was stunned for a moment, then she snapped her fingers casually, and with a body cleansing gesture, the sweat on her forehead and neck disappeared without a trace.
Fairy Ling tilted her head slightly, as if asking with her eyes: "Do you think I need this thing?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. The two brothers had not been practicing Taoism for long and had forgotten that they had such a skill.
But Fairy Ling still accepted the handkerchief and smiled at them: "Thank you, I accept your kindness."
Only then did Gu Ran and Gu Yu discover that beneath Fairy Ling's cold appearance, she had a gentle and kind heart.
From then on, the relationship between the two brothers and Fairy Ling seemed to be closer, and they were no longer as unfamiliar as before.
One afternoon, after Gu Yu finished practicing with elixir, he discovered that Gu Ran was not there, so he went out to look for her.
He noticed that Fairy Ling casually handed a fruit full of spiritual energy to Gu Ran, and smiled and said to Gu Ran: "Thank you for your hard work in giving me the Ice Silk Handkerchief last time. Although I can't use it, it is also a token of your kindness. This Heavenly Snake Fruit is for you. Eating it will strengthen your body and improve your endurance. It is just right for you to eat it to improve your body."
Gu Ran is a person who cannot sit still. His Dantian is damaged and he cannot practice swordsmanship, so he has been silently learning how to refine his body without using Dantian. People who are good at body refinement can have an indestructible body without using spiritual power.
Fairy Ling accidentally heard about this from the medicine boy who came to deliver medicine.
She guessed that Gu Ran must have been prepared for the fact that his Dantian would never be healed due to damage, or that he wanted to give the only elixir she had that could completely heal his Dantian to his brother. He didn't want to become a useless person, so he secretly practiced body cultivation on his own.
Unfortunately, his talent is not in body refining, so the road to body refining is very difficult, with stumbling and physical injuries being common.
Fairy Ling knew this, so she gave the only rare Heavenly Snake Fruit that someone else had given her directly to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran felt as if Fairy Ling saw through him. He blushed in embarrassment, lowered his head, accepted the Heavenly Snake Fruit and expressed his gratitude.
Fairy Ling just said you're welcome and left. She didn't take the matter to heart, she just did it casually.
And all this fell into Gu Yu's eyes.
When Gu Ran came back, his face was still red.
Seeing that he didn't take the initiative to mention the matter of Fairy Ling giving him the Heavenly Snake Fruit, Gu Yu pretended to know nothing and asked, "Brother, what did you do when you went out just now? Why is your face so red?"
Gu Ran didn't want his brother to know that he was secretly training his body without good preparation for his Dantian, so he subconsciously denied it and said, "It's nothing, I just went out to exercise."
"Oh, I see." Gu Yu responded.
But as soon as he turned around, his eyes darkened.
He felt a little uncomfortable, because he had worked up all night and his eyes were red to make that ice silk handkerchief.
Is it because it was his brother who delivered the fruit, so Fairy Ling only accepted his brother's kindness and only gave the Heavenly Snake Fruit to his elder brother, while he got nothing.
Is it that Fairy Ling is getting closer to his elder brother...
Once the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart, they will surely take root and sprout in the future.
Later, Fairy Ling obviously did not treat the two brothers differently, but in Gu Yu's opinion, he always felt that Fairy Ling was closer to his brother.
For example, if there was something, Fairy Ling would ask his brother instead of him. Even his opinion was asked by his brother. She rarely spoke to him proactively.
When Gu Ran went to Lingshou Peak and brought back a few ordinary little rabbits, she would praise them by saying that these rabbits added a bit of liveliness to Alchemy Peak.
He spent time making a beautiful fur-collared scarf, but she said that as a monk she didn't really care about clothes and didn't need to keep warm. The fur collar had to be made by skinning and plucking the fur from a living spiritual beast, so she decided not to make it.
The more such differential treatments there were, the more uncomfortable Gu Yu felt.
He used to like talking to his elder brother Gu Ran, but now he talks less and less.
However, Gu Ran was busy with his own physical training every day. After returning home, he was exhausted and fell asleep immediately. He did not notice anything unusual about Gu Yu.
It was not until a month later that Master Jianfeng Li Feng came back from the secret realm outside, and he looked very unhappy.
In front of the two brothers Gu Ran and Gu Yu, he said with a heavy heart: "I tried my best, but the most important ambergris to repair the Dantian is really hard to find. It did not appear in the secret realm this time. The next time the secret realm opens will be twenty years later.
If we can't buy ambergris from outside, the only one we can use is the one in your hand, Master Lingfeng. ”
The implication is that among the two brothers Gu Ran and Gu Yu, only one can repair the Dantian.
The other one will have to wait until twenty years later, but twenty years is undoubtedly a very long time for a cultivator with outstanding talent, and the gap that can be created in this period is also huge.
Gu Ran immediately said: "Then please repair my brother's Dantian first! I'm fine, I can wait!"
"Brother..." Gu Yu suddenly looked up at Gu Ran, his face full of emotion.
He knew that he was the person his brother took the most care of.
Fairy Ling did not make a decision directly, but said calmly and rationally: "Since there is only one chance, we must use this opportunity on someone who is more likely to repair his Dantian and it is easier to repair it. Otherwise, if it fails, it will be a waste of this opportunity.
You should go back and have a good rest today. I will arrange a check-up tomorrow. I will choose whoever of you has recovered better first. ”
The matter was settled, and the two brothers no longer had the chance to choose.
That night, the two brothers slept together.
Gu Yu nervously held Gu Ran's hand and said, "Brother, I'm nervous. If I can't repair my Dantian tomorrow, will you abandon me? What if you progress too fast and I can no longer catch up with you..."
Gu Ran held Gu Yu's hand even harder: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens tomorrow, I will give you the chance."
Gu Yu's eyes were red: "Brother, you are so kind, but I can't let you give in, otherwise it will be unfair to you."
Gu Ran only said: "As a brother, it is my duty to take care of my younger brother. Before my mother died, she told me to take good care of you. I don't regret coming back to save you and getting injured in the dantian. I will give you the chance."
Gu Yu hid in Gu Ran's arms and cried for half the night.
The next day, when Fairy Ling examined the two brothers, their eyes were red.
After a detailed examination, Fairy Ling made a judgment in front of Master Li Feng: "Gu Ran is in good health, so the possibility of repairing his Dantian will be greater. My suggestion is that Gu Ran will have a better chance of repairing this time."
The light in Gu Yu's eyes disappeared instantly, and he knew that Fairy Ling was more partial to his brother.
But he was the one who knitted the handkerchief in the beginning...
