Chapter 361 Cave
Facing Gu Zhifei's questioning, Bai Yichen remained silent. He said, "I am not here for Nuannuan, but on behalf of Kunlun Sect to invite you to participate in the next round of the Immortal Fate Conference."
Gu Zhifei found it even more strange: "The Immortal Fate Conference has always only accepted newcomers, why are they asking me to go? I am no longer a newcomer."
Bai Yichen was silent again, which was rare.
He said, "I asked you to be a lecturer, not a disciple."
This time it was Gu Zhifei's turn to remain silent. She knew that the Immortal Fate Conference was very important to Kunlun Sect, and she also knew that they attached great importance to the selection of lecturers.
Generally speaking, they rarely invite outsiders to the Xianyuan Conference unless that person is really outstanding.
Gu Zhifei still didn't think he was up to the task, so he declined, saying, "I'm afraid I'm not qualified. Please find someone else."
The most important thing is not whether he is qualified or not, but that Gu Zhifei does not want to deal with him.
Come to think of it, two years ago, he wanted to beat himself to death.
The atmosphere became even more awkward.
When Bai Yichen was hesitating about what to continue the conversation, a female voice came from behind Gu Zhifei: "I thought someone was disturbing me in the middle of the night, but it turned out to be a disciple of the Bai family. That's normal."
Hua Xixia sneered.
She also had conflicts with the Bai family. If Wuming had not appeared and helped her deal with several elders of the Bai family, causing serious damage to the Bai family, it would be hard to say whether she could stand here.
Bai Yichen seemed to know this as well. He felt increasingly uneasy and almost wanted to run away.
However, Hua Wuya stopped teasing him and changed the subject:
"You've been well-educated, but it's a pity that your hair can't turn black again."
Gu Zhifei then remembered that Bai Yichen in her book did not have white hair. And in the subsequent content of the book, it was never mentioned that Bai Yichen would have silver hair.
"What happened to his hair?"
Gu Zhifei did not ask the person involved, Bai Yichen, but asked Hua Wuya.
Hua Wuya told her lightly: "Don't you know? On the day he broke up with Leng Nuan, Leng Nuan severely injured him. Dao Zun had to recuperate for a full year and a half before he could get up from the bed."
It has to be said that Leng Nuan, as the heroine of the novel, has extraordinary power to cause harm.
Of course, the more likely possibility is that Bai Yichen didn't believe that Leng Nuan would really attack him, which is why he didn't fall for it.
Gu Zhifei recalled the frost he had seen on Leng Nuan’s face before, and suddenly realized.
The scar on Leng Nuan's face was probably caused at that time.
"It's all in the past." Bai Yichen lowered his eyes, looking very hurt.
Gu Zhifei didn't feel any sympathy for him.
Even if she wrote the love between Leng Nuan and Bai Yichen in a very exaggerated way in the novel, Bai Yichen shouldn't really become a background board.
It may be true in novels, but this is already reality, and he cannot just be a background character in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety drama.
"Think about it carefully."
Gu Zhifei said to Bai Yichen, "As for the Immortal Fate Conference, I will go, but I want twice the original salary for the lecturer. Is that okay?"
Seeing that she had changed her mind and agreed to this, Bai Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and said cheerfully:
"good."
After he finished speaking, the water returned to calm and he disappeared.
"You just run away after finishing your work." Hua Wuya snorted coldly.
Gu Zhifei thought, if he stayed here, he would only be ridiculed and mocked. What else could he do if he didn't run away? Tong Hua Wu Ya and the other walked side by side. Gu Zhifei asked her, "I see Bai Yi Chen's momentum is much weaker than before. Could it be that the battle hurt his foundation?"
Hua Wuya glanced at her and said, "You don't know?"
Gu Zhifei shook his head.
"It's normal that you don't know. After all, you have been in seclusion all this time."
These words coming out of Hua Wuya's mouth sounded like a complaint, but Gu Zhifei pretended not to hear it.
The former continued, "In fact, his foundation is not bad. According to Bai Yichen's extraordinary talent, it might not be a big deal if he practices seriously. But compared to his foundation, his mentality is more affected.
You know, if a cultivator lacks momentum, he will get half the result with twice the effort.
It is said that Bai Yichen has failed several times in recent years in his attempts to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. "
Hearing this, Gu Zhifei also felt a little sad.
Bai Yichen in the book is also a rare genius. Originally, his cultivation path was smooth and he never encountered failure.
Perhaps those who have never failed are the most likely to be defeated by failure.
The two of them returned to their rooms and went to bed with different thoughts.
The next day, when Gu Zhifei went out, he saw Hua Xixia watering the cannas in the yard, and couldn't help but ask her with a smile:
"Sister, you look good."
Hua Xixia said: "It's really good. I woke up this morning and felt relaxed all over. I felt like a different person."
Gu Zhifei smiled: "That's definitely different."
She winked at Hua Xixia, who immediately understood and threw the spray bottle in her hand at her: "You little junior sister, you actually dare to tease your senior sister, I will beat you to death!"
The two of them ran around the flowerbed, shocking Master Qingming so much that he came out and decided to have one more roasted chicken leg.
Guang Shubai watched them playing and played with a smile, then went to make breakfast.
Gu Zhifei mentioned to everyone that he was going to Kunlun Sect to be a lecturer, and no one objected.
Even Qingming Zhenren said: "The old bald guy told me about this before. He said that the formation you used to welcome the bride was very good. There are probably not many younger generations on the mainland who have a talent for formations like you."
Only then did Gu Zhifei understand why Bai Yichen contacted him overnight.
Most likely, the leader of Kunlun had offended me before and was too embarrassed to tell me. His hints to Master Qingming were fruitless, so he had no choice but to instruct Bai Yichen to be the bad guy.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhifei even found it a little funny.
In fact, she was about to forget the celebration with the head of Kunlun.
Different realms, different mentalities. She could probably understand why the headmaster was reluctant to punish Leng Nuan and even used up all his resources to save her.
As a cultivator, the most desired thing is to find the Great Dao. Whether you find it yourself or are lucky enough to see others find the Great Dao, it is always an inspiring thing.
The head of Kunlun knew that Leng Nuan was the most likely candidate to ascend, so it was natural for him to be reluctant to give up on her.
Seeing her change in expression, Master Qingming thought that she was not willing to go to Kunlun Sect at first, and said, "If you agree to that old bald man just for Master's sake, you don't have to. Master doesn't have a very good relationship with him. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. Don't worry too much."
Gu Zhifei smiled, knowing that Master Qingming was thinking about him, and explained: "I will definitely go, after all, I asked for double the salary."
Upon hearing this, Master Qingming narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You are worthy of being my disciple. Well done, well done!"
It was as if the person Gu Zhifei was cheating was not his junior fellow apprentice.
The Immortal Fate Conference was still in seven days, so Gu Zhifei had to go there four days in advance.
She observed the situation of Hua Xixia and the other person for two days, and only felt relieved after she was sure that there was really no problem.
After packing his luggage, Gu Zhifei set out for Kunlun Mountains on the third day.
The Kunlun sect was still as powerful as before, but in Gu Zhifei's eyes it was not as shocking as before.
She could see clearly every cultivator who was flying with the Qi, and could also see that there were a few who almost fell off their flying swords.
She curled her eyes and said to Hua Wuya beside her: "Are you sure you want to follow me? There is nothing fun in the Immortal Fate Conference."
Hua Wuya nodded: "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy."
Gu Zhifei didn't have that feeling.
However, the premonitions of Nascent Soul cultivators are rarely wrong. Since she insisted on following him to feel at ease, Gu Zhifei had no intention of stopping her.
Originally, as lecturers, the elders would come to arrange for them to go to the residence, but they never expected that the head and Bai Yichen would come out personally to greet them.
Looking at the smile on the face of Kunlun's head, Gu Zhifei saw a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes.
He has worked no less hard than anyone else over the years, and he must have spent a lot of time worrying about matters of warmth and coldness.
"I never thought you could grow to this point."
Walking beside Gu Zhifei, Taoist Qingyuan said with emotion: "It turns out that I don't know people well enough."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Zhifei nodded and smiled, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Bai Yichen was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Taoist Qingyuan's Taoism is indeed higher than his. At least when it comes to the matter of Leng Nuan, Taoist Qingyuan has completely let it go, but Bai Yichen obviously hasn't.
"It's normal for people to have poor eyesight when they get old." Hua Wuya never forgets to ridicule those she wants to ridicule, "It's the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them."
Hua Wuya's words were not pleasant to hear, but Daoist Master Qingyuan was not angry. He just said, "I took the initiative this time, I hope you won't blame me."
What he said was too polite, which made Gu Zhifei feel something was wrong.
Pulling Qingyuan Daozun aside, Gu Zhifei whispered:
"You stinky old man, do you have some ideas that I don't know about?"
Taoist Qingyuan avoided the question directly, saying, "I have arranged a place for you to live. It is in your former yard."
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll leave."
Gu Zhifei threatened him like this.
Taoist Master Qingyuan had no choice but to tell the whole story.
He has been feeling a little uneasy these days, always feeling like something big is about to happen.
After attending Hua Xixia's wedding, I felt more and more that something was wrong.
So he took advantage of his drunkenness to trick a leader of the Seven Stars Sect into telling his fortune, and it turned out to be a bad omen.
If you want to turn misfortune into good fortune, you can only look for the Son of Destiny.
Today's Tianmingzi is none other than Gu Zhifei.
So he had no choice but to ask Gu Zhifei for help, hoping that she could help him get through this crisis.
After hearing the whole story, Gu Zhifei felt that he had been deceived. His master was indeed a fool, helping outsiders to hide things from him.
"I can't fall down now. Kunlun Sect doesn't have a suitable successor yet. I need to slowly look for one."
Taoist Qingyuan said: "So I must get through this difficult time."
Gu Zhifei sighed: "It's possible, but..."
"But what?"
"Your price isn't particularly reasonable. I can't work two jobs and only earn the money from one, right?"
Taoist Qingyuan didn't expect that she would propose something like this. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's easy. After the matter is settled, just take whatever you like."
Gu Zhifei snorted and thought: If it was the Kunlun Sect she had her eyes on, would he dare to say that he would take it directly? It was obviously unrealistic.
The two of them turned around and were about to continue walking towards their residence, when they saw Hua Wuya staring at them not far away, while Bai Yichen was standing aside in a daze.
He is now in a daze.
Gu Zhifei knew what was going on, so he quickly stepped forward, put his hand on Hua Wuya's shoulder, and whispered to her, "Your hunch is right, this guy is indeed hiding something from us."
Hua Wuya raised his eyebrows slightly: "What did he just tell you to do?"
"Help him survive the disaster."
Gu Zhifei's words were simple and clear, but his meaning was very clear: First, Taoist Master Qingyuan was in big trouble.
Second, he needs Gu Zhifei's help.
"Let's go." Hua Wuya immediately grabbed Gu Zhifei and said, "I said my right eyelid was twitching, and it turned out to be something bad."
Daoist Master Qingyuan's cultivation was not the pinnacle, but it was incomparable to ordinary people. Hua Wuya was not sure that he could handle the calamity, let alone Gu Zhifei, a mere golden elixir.
Hua Wuya doesn't want her to take risks.
Gu Zhifei appreciated her good intentions, but he had to take some risks.
"Wuya, I know what you're worried about, but it doesn't matter. I won't get hurt." Gu Zhifei said, "I will do what I can."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Hua Wuya stopped trying to persuade her.
After settling down, Gu Zhifei began to concentrate on preparing the teaching plan for the Immortal Fate Conference.
Perhaps Taoist Master Qingyuan had praised her talent in formations in front of everyone before. When she first moved in, many people came to ask her about formations, but on the second day, there were fewer people.
Until the third day, Gu Zhifei's place was basically deserted.
"Is it because I didn't teach well?" Gu Zhifei wondered.
Hua Wuya yawned: "No, I think it's quite interesting."
Gu Zhifei saw that she looked sleepy and felt that her boredom was almost written on her face.
She learned from her mistakes and felt that she needed to improve her teaching methods.
So, she used the techniques of writing novels to make her content vivid and interesting.
When the training officially started, her formation class unexpectedly became one of the most popular courses.
Another course was Bai Yichen's swordsmanship class. He had a natural advantage: 90% of the monks who attended the class were women.
The Immortal Fate Conference is in full swing, and Gu Zhifei is very busy.
That day, she was delayed again by a disciple. She originally planned to go back quickly along the path, but she saw a man entering the bamboo forest.
The man didn't look familiar, but his silver hair was very dazzling. I knew it was Bai Yichen at first glance.
What was he doing here, sneaking around like that?
Gu Zhifei followed quietly.
Because she kept a certain distance and Bai Yichen walked so quickly, the latter didn't realize that he was being followed.
Bai Yichen didn't stop until he reached the weak point of Kunlun Sect's barrier.
Then he disappeared from where he was.
Gu Zhifei slowly released his spiritual power, and only revealed his figure after making sure that Bai Yichen had left. He discovered that there was a break in the barrier here.
As Bai Yichen's direct disciple, he doesn't need permission to enter or leave, so why would he want to drill a hole? (End of this chapter)
