Jiang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Gu Yao is a member of our Tianfu Academy. There is nothing wrong with him living with us. We respect Gu Yao's decision, and this action should not be a forced conscription, right?"
Gu Yao was unwilling. Of course, he didn't want Gu Yao to live in the City Lord's Mansion. He could imagine what kind of situation Gu Yao would face after moving in.
He was actually thinking about the City Lord's Mansion. Chi Changye's temper was not easy to mess with. If they did something excessive, I'm afraid there would be no way to end it in the end.
He was so kind.
Elder He paid more attention to Chi Changye. When Chi Changye made his appearance, the news that he had become a sword cultivator in the late stage of foundation building naturally spread. Such a powerful sword cultivator was admired and yearned for by many people, which would inevitably arouse the jealousy of some people. Elder He Yihao was among them, but Chi Changye kept his eyes slightly lowered and had an indifferent attitude. He seemed not to be affected by the outside world at all, which made Elder He unable to figure him out.
At this time, he heard that Gu Yao refused to accept the call of the City Lord's Mansion. Jiang Yan also refused on behalf of Tianfu Academy, which made him pause with his hand supporting his beard. He looked at Gu Yao with a slightly unfriendly look: "Are you really determined?"
Gu Yao smiled and said: "In addition to being an alchemist, I am also a cultivator. I am willing to fight against the sea beasts with all of you fellows, repel the sea beasts as soon as possible, and restore peace to my Tianlin Continent." At the end, his face was full of righteousness, no weaker than that female cultivator who used righteousness to suppress Gu Yao.
Lu Qiusheng almost burst out laughing, and the others also twitched their lips, especially those who knew Gu Yao well. They knew that he was a good man and a very humble person, so it was hard to imagine him saying such a righteous and lofty statement in public. Now that he said it, the only possibility was that he did it on purpose.
However, the onlookers who were not familiar with him were aroused by his words at this moment. They were almost misled by the intention of the City Lord's Mansion before, but if they thought about it carefully, Gu Yao's arrival at the front line of the battle at this particularly sensitive time was enough to represent his position.
"Okay, okay! Then let's wait for Master Gu's victory report!" Elder He said while suppressing his anger, and then he turned away. He came in person, not for Gu Yao. No matter how advanced Gu Yao's alchemy skills were, he was still a Qi-refining cultivator. Why would he, a worshipper elder of the City Lord's Mansion, come to greet him in person? Wait until he reaches the level of Master Hu. What he really wants to see is Chi Chang Ye.
Watching the City Lord's Mansion leave, the crowd of onlookers began to buzz again. Lu Qiu Sheng said gloatingly, "
Little Junior Brother Gu, you have offended the City Lord's Mansion."
Gu Yao blinked, "Offended? Because I don't live in the City Lord's Mansion? But what's the difference? Besides, the City Lord's Mansion is not as narrow-minded as you say."
"...... Bah!" Lu Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment and then spat unhappily. This kid did it on purpose. Chi Changye
smiled softly, and brushed Gu Yao's palm with one hand, saying, "Xiao Yao just needs to follow his own heart and do things. Let's go to the market."
"Okay." Gu Yao smiled brilliantly.
Blinding dog eyes, this is what Lu Qiu Sheng thought.
Gu Yao was about to go back with Jiang Yan and the others. The elder of Tianhai Gate who was watching this frowned slightly and said to Tian Feiyang: "You go with Master Gu Dan and protect Master Gu Dan's safety."
"Yes, elder." Tian Feiyang was eager to spend more time with his brother. After bowing, he took the people who came out with him and quickly followed Gu Yao and his group.
"Elder..." The disciples next to him looked at the elder of Tianhai Gate worriedly. Would this offend the City
Lord's Mansion?
The elder sighed, "Master Gu Dan came to help our Tianhai Gate, how can we repay him with evil? Besides," he glanced at the disciples beside him, "compared with the people from the City Lord's Mansion, they all came here for the same reason, did Master Gu Dan do more or did those people from the City Lord's Mansion do more?"
Before Gu Yao and his party arrived at Tianhai Gate, they first rescued a group of civilians and several Tianhai Gate disciples from the beast tide attacking the town. After rushing to Tianhai Gate, they refined a large number of high-quality elixirs for Tianhai Gate without delay. As soon as they came out of Tianhai Gate, the people from the City Lord's Mansion heard the news and dared to use righteousness to suppress Gu Yao, which seemed ridiculous to him.
The disciple moved his mouth but said nothing. He knew that the elder was in a bad mood. After the people from the City Lord's Mansion came, they took over the role of the host, which made it difficult for the elder to do things and encountered many obstacles. But when it comes to fighting sea beasts, which sect has more experience than Tianhai Sect?
But the City Lord's Mansion is powerful, what can they do? Can there be a good result if you offend the City Lord's Mansion?
The returning group from the City Lord's Mansion was upset. The female cultivator who invited Gu Yao was called Ruan Xinhui. She was the most angry. In her opinion, Gu Yao just didn't give her face and made her embarrassed in front of so many people. From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever been humiliated like this? Because she was born in the City Lord's Mansion, she was a popular character no matter where she went.
"Uncle He, who is this Gu? How dare he ignore our City Lord's Mansion? As long as our City Lord's Mansion issues an order, Lin Dalu will have nowhere to go in the future!" Ruan Xinhui's first thought was to teach Gu Yao a lesson and let him know how powerful the City Lord's Mansion is.
"Miss Ruan, don't get angry. This kind of villain is not worth it for Miss Ruan to fight for him. If Miss Ruan is really unhappy, there is no need to use the City Lord's Mansion order. We can make him fall." Didn't Gu Yao say that he would participate in the battle with the sea monsters? Accidents are most likely to happen during the battle. If you are not careful, you will end up with nothing left.
This made Ruan Xinhui's self-esteem feel better. She, Miss Ruan, was still popular and had countless men under her skirt, but a little alchemist dared to challenge her!
Elder He said at this time: "Don't act rashly. If you are found out, will our City Lord's Mansion still have a good reputation?"
Especially at this time, the City Lord's Mansion cannot afford to have such a suspected smear. If it is revealed that the people in the City Lord's Mansion are behind the plotting of other cultivators, especially a well-known alchemist like Gu Yao, the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion will immediately plummet.
The male cultivator's face froze at first, and then he relaxed: "Elder He, I know what to do. I will never let the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion be stained with any bad things." They can't come forward in person, and can't let others do it? This matter is too simple.
Gu Yao stayed at the temporary residence of Tianfu Academy, and the scene at the entrance quickly spread throughout the market, and even spread outside, making Gu Yao a hot topic among the monks in their spare time, and forming two completely different opinions. Some people
admired Gu Yao even more. On the way here, he had participated in a battle with monks from the same academy, saved the people of the town and the monks there, and refined a batch of pills for Tianhai Gate after arriving. These things were not secrets, and they had spread when his news reached here. Seeing him rushing here without stopping after refining the pills, what was not admirable about such an alchemist?
Especially the disciples of Tianhai Gate, they were very grateful to him after knowing what Gu Yao did.
But some people think that he is ignorant and doesn't even give face to the City Lord's Mansion. He is so arrogant before he even builds his foundation. He is so arrogant that he doesn't even take the City Lord's Mansion seriously. Moreover, for an alchemist like him, shouldn't he concentrate on refining pills at this moment?
Do you know how much the monks who are participating in the battle are in need of elixirs? Many monks have died because of the lack of elixirs due to delayed treatment. But he would rather leave the elixirs unrefined and go to fight. How much fighting power can he, a pill master, exert? Maybe he will drag down other fellow disciples on the battlefield. Can he be more self-aware?
The second kind of talk spread more and more. Lu Qiusheng, who had gone out for a walk, came back angrily. If it weren't for the others stopping him, he would have fought with those people who spit at him. When these people were forcing Gu Yao, did they look at how much they had done?
Their behavior was like putting Gu Yao on the fire. There were so many pill masters, why did they all rush to Gu Yao? Why don't they scold those alchemists who don't even want to come to the front line?
It's because they think Gu Yao and Tianfu Academy are easy to bully.
Ruan Xinhui smiled with satisfaction when she heard from the monks who came back from the market about the situation outside, especially the attack on Gu Yao. She was angry at the time. In fact, it would be easy to deal with such a little monk with no foundation. First, ruin his reputation, and then, ha!
"Send more people to keep an eye on their movements. This young lady will teach them a lesson."
"Yes, Miss Ruan."
Cuiyan Valley.
Master Hu has been paying attention to the situation at Tianhai Gate, especially after hearing that Gu Yao and the people around him had followed, he paid more attention, so he could receive any news there in time.
"Is someone deliberately making things difficult for Master Gu Dan? Are you sure who did it? Is it related to the City Lord's Mansion?" Even if he didn't have much scheming and didn't understand too many twists and turns, Gu Yao was heavily criticized right after he turned down the invitation from the City Lord's Mansion. People said that they didn't believe that there was no connection between the two. Even if the results of the investigation did not show any connection between the two, Master Hu would still believe that it was related to the City Lord's Mansion. Master
Hu still didn't have much time to manage the trivial matters of Cuiyan Valley, but this time he found someone who was not too involved with the forces in the valley, and he would no longer trust others completely like before. He would inquire about it regularly to avoid being fooled by the people below.
"I think it's very possible," the man agreed with Master Hu's opinion, "Master Gu Yao probably also realized that once he was invited into the City Lord's Mansion, he would have to refine pills all day and could not leave the City Lord's Mansion. All the pills he refined would go to the City Lord's Mansion. I don't know how much would be left in the hands of the monks outside. They would also be used to buy reputation. The benefits would all go to the City Lord's Mansion. How many people would remember Master Gu Yao who stayed in the City Lord's Mansion and kept refining pills?"
"Yes, everyone understands this, but the City Lord's Mansion is so powerful. I know that if Master Gu Yao offended the City Lord's Mansion, some people would not speak for him, but would instead help him behind the scenes. Give the order, I will personally lead a group of alchemists there, pack up and
set off The subordinate was stunned for a moment, but immediately took the order and prepared to go out. If the Valley Master went to Tianshui Market in person, Gu Yao would not be left alone in the spotlight. The people in the City Lord's Mansion would not dare to treat the Valley Master in such an attitude.
However, the Valley Master's attitude towards Gu Yao was a bit too good. As soon as he heard that Gu Yao was wronged, he immediately rushed away. As long as the Valley Master showed up, it was expected that Gu Yao would immediately get out of the predicament.
