The morning light shone from the sky, and the golden color was stained on the horizon. The pavilions and buildings were hidden in the misty fairy mist, and the dazzling sunlight shone through the clouds, setting a layer of gold on the top of the octagonal attic...
A slender and petite figure was once again missing from the morning meeting of Chongming Immortal Sect. The disciples practicing in the square understood it and were also disappointed.
Ever since Senior Sister Gu returned from the human world after completing her mission, she has rarely appeared in public. She used to act in a high-profile manner, but now she has become very low-key.
In their opinion, it doesn't matter what kind of person Senior Sister Gu is, but the chances they have to see her are getting fewer and fewer...
“I heard that Senior Sister Gu was taken by the Sect Master to be taught personally…” a disciple said lazily, waving a sword.
The gray-robed disciples beside him were full of envy. "The master brought Senior Sister Gu with him as soon as he came out of retreat. I guess it was a way of compensation. Senior Sister Gu is so lucky to be accepted as a disciple by the master..."
Another disciple behind him couldn't help but interrupt, but his tone was much more disappointed.
"Lucky, now we don't even have the chance to see her..."
"In the past, I could at least see people, but now I can't even see their shadows..."
"It's the eighth day since I last saw Senior Sister Gu. I miss her..."
The cultivation levels of the surrounding disciples were all quite high, and they were sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, so they naturally heard everything the male disciple said.
For a moment, sighs and groans were heard all over the square.
Ji Xiao, who was standing at the front, stood on the stairs with a sword in his hand, and beside him stood Wen Xia, who was dressed in a white robe.
The two of them were the best among the disciples, so naturally, no matter what the disciples said or how they looked, they all fell into their eyes and ears...
"Brother, did you hear everything?" The young man spoke clearly, but his slightly deep eyes showed indifference which was contrary to the bright smile on his face.
"As soon as the headmaster came back, he kept my sister by his side. Even the brothers couldn't see her. His actions caused so many complaints..."
"Brother, aren't you going to do anything?"
"What do you expect me to do?" Ji Xiao asked calmly.
His eyes fell calmly on the people below, as if he did not hear the "complaints" from below.
Wen Xia glanced at his cold and steady profile, and he still looked so steady and reliable, but after he looked away, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.
He pretended to be serious, but what was he thinking?
"Brother, you have the highest level of cultivation among us. If you are not willing to help, who else can?"
Wen Xia said this while rubbing the tip of his thumb against the tip of his index finger.
Sensing his movements, Ji Xiao warned him coldly: "Put away your tricks, this is Chongming Immortal Sect!"
The young man was worthy of being the one with the highest cultivation and talent among the younger generation. His sharp eyes swept over and pressure suddenly came, just like the sword in his hand, which had a full sense of oppression even before it was unsheathed.
Wen Xia paused, his eyes turned cold for a moment.
Then he quickly smiled again, as if the gloomy expression at that moment was an illusion.
"Brother, you misunderstood. I will naturally abide by the rules of Chongming Immortal Sect and will not break it!"
The young man smiled and uttered words of promise. His face was so clean and pure, as clear as the sun, but under the sunlight, he gave people a cold feeling for no reason.
He will abide by the rules here, but he can't guarantee how long he can abide by them...
As the disciple with the highest cultivation level among the Chongming Immortal Sect, all Ji Xiao could give was a warning.
In fact, there was nothing he could do except warn.
I can't even go see her...
Thinking of this, Ji Xiao suddenly became restless.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
But he overestimated his self-control. Every time he calmed down, he couldn't help but think of the girl's smiles and frowns in his mind...
He couldn't help but wonder what Gu Yangyang was doing now...
[Ding! Ji Xiao is dissatisfied +200]
[Ding! Ji Xiao's Jealousy +200]
[Ding! Ji Xiao's disgust +200]
[Ding! Ji Xiao darkens +200]
【......】
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have gained 400 health points! ]
Gu Yangyang, who was far away on the top of the mountain, suddenly heard the voice of the system in her ears, and the look in her eyes changed for a moment.
What had she done again? What bad things were these two saying about her?
If she remembered correctly, she hadn't appeared in front of them for a long time...
【......】
Unable to figure it out, she continued swinging the whip, but the man who had been watching her noticed her distraction the moment her movements paused.
The azure blue eyes couldn't help but deepen a little bit...
He slowly said, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Yangyang was slightly stunned and stopped what she was doing. She didn't expect the other party to be so perceptive.
"I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just distracted..." She said embarrassedly without expressing what she was thinking.
However, little did she know that her inner thoughts had already betrayed her.
The names Ji Xiao and Wen Xia appeared in her mind again, and along with her inner voice, they clearly fell into the man's ears...
The man didn't say anything, just looked at her steadily.
The figure like a flower on a mountain top stood upright on the edge of the cliff, and the azure eyes were like the deep sea. When you were fixed by these eyes, you would feel as if you were being dragged down, as if you were entangled by some giant and dragged into the deep sea...
The unique feeling of drowning made Gu Yangyang's legs go weak for a moment. She didn't feel uncomfortable, but the feeling of being tightly wrapped and unable to breathe made her feel a little uneasy.
Somehow, when she met the man's calm blue eyes, she would occasionally have the thought of escaping.
Just like when a weak animal encounters a creature much stronger than itself, it will instinctively feel fear and avoid it...
She shifted her gaze to the whip in her hand, avoiding the other person's line of sight.
In order to hide her inner panic, she pretended to be calm and said, "Master, I will continue practicing..."
After saying that, she continued to wave her sword, intentionally or unintentionally turning her back to block the man's seemingly penetrating gaze...
The sound of whips cracking rang out, and Gu Yangyang gradually immersed herself in the moves as she became more and more proficient. She didn't notice that the look in the man's eyes behind her was getting more and more wrong...
