Chapter 360 Bai Yichen's Regret
The wedding that Guangshubai had been longing for was finally put on the agenda.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, when the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full, Gu Zhifei looks at the red makeup outside and recalls that he also came here at this time a few years ago.
"After this wedding, where are you going next?"
In order not to steal the bride's limelight, Hua Wuya did not wear her usual red dress, but instead wore an ordinary goose yellow singlet, which made her look very childish.
With her hair tied up in a single bun and a sword at her waist, she turned sideways and asked Gu Zhifei, who gave her a similar sword.
"I don't usually use a sword."
Gu Zhifei took the sword, gestured with it twice, and then returned it to Hua Wuya.
Hua Wuya looked at her strangely: "Didn't we agree that when Guang Shubai and the others come to pick up the bride, we would use our swords to give them a hard time?"
Gu Zhifei said calmly: "Oh, sorry, I forgot."
Hua Wuya was even more puzzled: "Zhi Fei, what happened recently? You always seem a little absent-minded."
Gu Zhifei sighed and shook his head, not quite willing to speak.
Hua Wuya had no choice but to say: "It should be related to Hua Xixia and Guang Shubai."
Gu Zhifei was not surprised that she could guess it.
In fact, it would be wrong if Hua Wuya didn’t know.
Gu Zhifei did not deny it, but nodded calmly and turned back to the house: "I always feel a little uneasy, but I have promised my senior brother that I will help them after their wedding is over."
These days, Gu Zhifei has tried this spell many times with a high success rate, but she still feels unsure.
"When the time comes, I will need your help to hold back my master. I will then find a way to trick my senior sister over."
Hua Wuya shook his head: "No need, with me as your guardian, you won't be nervous. As for Master Qingming, just leave it to the Pavilion Master of Xianzhi Pavilion."
Gu Zhifei felt that what she said made sense, and it would be best to act this way.
The sound of firecrackers was heard outside, indicating that the bride's reception had arrived. Gu Zhifei and Hua Wuya smiled at each other and rushed over as fast as they could.
It was Guang Shubai and Wu Zhijun. Also, the heads of all the major sects and the elders who were well-known had come.
Without Guang Shubai's explanation, Gu Zhifei knew that these people were called by Master Qingming.
He said that this marriage would be a big deal, and now it has become a big deal.
Looking at this group of big names in the world of immortal cultivation, Gu Zhifei didn't know how to deal with them.
So, on the pretext that Hua Wuya was more familiar with the ghost town than himself, he taught all the people in this group to Hua Wuya.
She only cast a formation, intending to give these bigwigs in the world of immortal cultivation a warning.
Originally, she and Hua Wuya only planned to set up a barrier outside, and Guang Shubai and others could enter the house after breaking it. Now, she suddenly changed her mind. Since so many people have come, wouldn't it be meaningless if she didn't make things difficult for them? Thinking of this, Gu Zhifei set the barrier inside the formation, and the formation inside the barrier. After setting up more than a dozen traps layer by layer, he left with peace of mind.
The cultivation of the sect leaders and elders is very good, but unfortunately few of them are proficient in formations. Gu Zhifei is sure that his self-created formation can only stop them for a while.
Anyway, they have reserved time to come here. It doesn't matter if they spend a little more time tormenting them.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhifei went to the cabinet to find Hua Xixia.
The head of Xianzhi Pavilion has arranged for servants to dress her up, dedicated to making her the most beautiful bride.
When Gu Zhifei saw Hua Xixia, he was slightly stunned, and then he praised: "The Pavilion Master really didn't lie to me. I'm afraid that you will be so surprised later."
Hua Xixia's temples turned red, and she said angrily, "Nonsense, I won't pay attention to you anymore."
Having said that, she sat back, propped up her head and began to daydream.
Gu Zhifei teased her, "What's wrong? On such a happy day, there are still worries."
"I don't know where Shubai and the others are. Logically, they should have arrived."
Hua Xixia was indeed worried. She had been dressing up carefully for two hours, but now she hadn't seen a single person.
It is said that women dress up to please themselves. Now the person she wants to see the most has not appeared yet, so naturally she is not in the mood.
Gu Zhifei couldn't understand her feelings and said casually, "You mean my brothers? They came a long time ago but I stopped them at the door. They are probably still trying to break the formation now."
Hua Xixia's face turned pale, then red, and then blue. She stared at Gu Zhifei for a long time without saying a word.
Gu Zhifei was completely unaware and continued, "Senior Sister, don't worry. They won't be able to get in for a while."
Hua Xixia felt like she was about to be pissed off by this junior sister. She usually thought that the junior sister was quite smart, but why did she start to act stupidly at the critical moment? But she couldn't say it directly, so she could only cough twice: "Junior sister, look at the time, will it be too late if we delay any longer?"
She hoped that after this reminder, Gu Zhifei would be able to figure out what she meant.
Unfortunately, Gu Zhifei obviously didn't understand what she meant, and said to her: "No, I calculated the time. It will take them half a day to break the formation. If we waste half a day, we can just move faster by then."
Hua Xixia's face almost turned blue with anger. She stood up and stared at Gu Zhifei for a long while, and finally said helplessly: "Go, let them in."
Gu Zhifei shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior Sister, you don't have to worry. Even if they find helpers, they can't break through the formation in half a day."
Half a minute later, Gu Zhifei was kicked out of the door by Hua Xixia.
Gu Zhifei rubbed his hands and slandered in his heart: She should have said earlier that she wanted to see her senior brother earlier! Then he wouldn't have to spend so much effort to set up such a formation.
You know, the array base used in each array formation is non-recyclable, so she wasted a lot of spirit stones.
Looking at the people outside who were still trying their best to break the formation, Gu Zhifei felt that the money was worth spending temporarily.
She finally let the person in. She had no choice but to do so under the pressure from Hua Xixia. Otherwise, Hua Xixia would have to swallow her alive.
Everyone rushed into the house, but they didn't see Hua Xixia.
The most anxious person among them was Guang Shubai. He looked at Gu Zhifei and asked nervously, "Where's your senior sister?"
After Hua Xixia became an ordinary person, she was the first to feel sad for herself, and Guang Shubai was the second most sad.
Whenever he thought about when Hua Xixia would die, he felt heartbroken, so he came up with the idea of asking Gu Zhifei to do such a dangerous and evil thing.
"Look carefully, our sister is hidden by us."
Looking at Hua Xixia who was sitting on the bed and covered by the formation, Gu Zhifei lied to everyone without changing his expression or heartbeat.
No one doubted it, and they really started looking for Hua Xixia everywhere.
It was just that such a big person just disappeared without a trace. Everyone searched for a long time but still couldn't find where Hua Xixia was.
Gu Zhifei was just feeling smug that his formation had reached perfection, when he saw Hua Xixia sticking half of her shoe out of the formation.
Immediately afterwards, Guang Shubai was the first to react and took down the leader, bringing Hua Xixia out of the formation.
No matter how well you guard, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. Gu Zhifei never expected that the concealment formation he had set up, which would never be discovered, would be easily cracked by others, and in such a way.
Gu Zhifei looked at the smiling Hua Xixia and said with emotion: "Girls are really no longer under the control of their mothers when they grow up."
Hua Xixia didn't have time to discuss this sad feeling with her.
She was abducted by Guang Shubai.

Even more sad than Gu Zhifei was Master Qingming. He looked at Hua Xixia who happily left with Guang Shubai, turned his head silently and wiped away two tears.
Although Gu Zhifei didn't know why he was wiping tears. After all, Hua Xixia would be returning to Lingshan later, not to other places.
Amidst the music, fighting, noise, and joy, and the blessings of all the big guys and future big guys, Hua Xixia and Guang Shubai mobilized more than a hundred spirit beasts and returned to Lingshan in a lively manner.
There were already people waiting at Lingshan, and the banquet had been set up, waiting for everyone to take a seat.
I have to say that both Hua Wuya's people and Xianzhi Pavilion's Pavilion Master's people were very proactive and handled the whole thing perfectly.
Gu Zhifei asked herself, if this matter was only done by her, it would definitely not be more lively than this.
The crowd was noisy until midnight before dispersing.
There were not many places to live in Lingshan, and the monks traveled very quickly, so after drinking, everyone returned to their respective sects.
Of course, Hua Wuya still stayed with Gu Zhifei and stayed on Lingshan Mountain.
The leader of Xianzhi Pavilion also dismissed everyone, saying that he wanted to have a good chat with Gu Zhifei, and stayed here.
Hua Wuya had already told her that she should stay and help, so she naturally couldn't leave first.
On the third day after the wedding, Gu Zhifei began to take action. He first asked the head of Xianzhi Pavilion to send Qingming Zhenren away, saying that he wanted an elder to look after small clothes for the baby in his belly.
Originally, everyone was worried, not knowing whether this move would succeed, but they never thought of Master Qingming. Thinking that he might be able to see the next generation soon, he was more enthusiastic than the master of Xianzhi Pavilion himself, and took her away early in the morning.
Because she had already colluded with Guang Shubai, by the time Hua Wuya and Gu Zhifei arrived at their courtyard, Hua Xixia had already drunk the medicinal wine and fell into a deep sleep.
Things went very smoothly. Gu Zhifei used the five elements' spiritual power to open up the meridians of Guang Shubai and Hua Xixia, thus binding their lives tightly together.
Gu Zhifei didn't know whether this was right or wrong, but he just wanted to have no regrets and feel at peace with himself.
After this method was performed, Gu Zhifei and Guang Shubai looked very bad.
When he turned back to rest, Gu Zhifei asked Guang Shubai: "Will you regret it in the future?"
After all, the price of sharing life is halving one's life, and time is precious to monks. This determines the length of the road they can walk in the future.
Guang Shubai lost not only half of his life, but also the height he could reach in future cultivation. The former is fine, but the latter is something that many people dream of and cannot obtain even if they spend their entire lives on.
"No regrets." Guang Shubai answered straightforwardly. He said, "Since I have decided to do this, there is no reason to regret it."
Moreover, he did not think he would regret it. Seeing that Gu Zhifei was still worried, he looked at Hua Xixia who was still sleeping gently, and said to Gu Zhifei: "There are some things that you are not as open-minded as I am. Although the length of life determines the possibility of cultivation, every time I advance to a higher level, I can buy more time to live for myself and Xixia, and I will cherish my life more than before when I was alone. Because I represent more than just myself."
"Zhifei, you don't have to worry about us too much. In fact, I have already thought about it carefully. Besides, the reason why I want to hide it from Xixia and Master is that I don't want them to worry about me. I also don't want them to feel too guilty or blame themselves because of this matter. I hope everyone is happy. Including you."
Guang Shubai looked at Gu Zhifei sincerely: "This is true, Junior Sister, I hope you are happy too."
Gu Zhifei was speechless for a moment. Senior Brother Guang Shubai's words were plain but strong, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Guang Shubai didn't need her answer. He picked up Hua Xixia and went back to his room. He had just finished a spell and needed to rest. Otherwise, if his face looked too bad, it would be easy to expose the truth when Hua Xixia and Qingming Zhenren asked about it.
Seeing that he had indeed thought it through, Gu Zhifei stopped thinking about it and also returned to his room, where he began to meditate and regulate his breathing, trying to recover as much of his spiritual power as possible.
Before evening, she opened her eyes, her energy restored to ten percent.
In fact, this kind of shared life mana consumes a lot of one's own ability and mental strength. Generally speaking, it cannot be recovered so quickly.
However, Gu Zhifei had three years of fighting experience in the Mo family tomb. Whether it was his mental strength or the strength of his cultivation, he was much stronger than ordinary cultivators.
Three years of continuous fighting with almost no sleep also made Gu Zhifei recover his spiritual power much faster.
She walked out of the yard, and it was quiet all around. Qingming Zhenren had not come back since he went to check the clothes. Guang Shubai and Hua Xixia should still be sleeping downstairs.
Gu Zhifei had no intention of alarming others, so he concealed his presence and went to the pond.
She saw her own face, which had matured a lot compared to a few years ago.
But when Gu Zhifei looked at the reflection in the water, he suddenly felt that the reflection began to blur, and finally a silver-haired stranger appeared.
Gu Zhifei had never seen this stranger before, but he felt inexplicably that he looked familiar.
She thought about it carefully and realized the man's name: "Bai Yichen? Why are you here? Why are you like this?"
Bai Yichen didn't answer. He said, "You should be doing well these days. Have you seen Leng Nuan?"
When Leng Nuan was mentioned, Gu Zhifei's face darkened slightly and he snorted, "Why did you mention her?"
Bai Yichen lowered his eyes calmly and said to Gu Zhifei: "We have separated."
"What does the breakup have to do with me? Do I have to be responsible for your marriage? I'm not the matchmaker."
Gu Zhifei did not look at him in a good mood. If it was not out of politeness and the need for a good omen for a newly married couple, she would have to tear Bai Yichen's reflection into pieces.
