In an instant, everyone outside rushed in.
They saw Lu Li hugging and leaning over the bedside, sobbing uncontrollably. Everyone knelt on the ground and prostrated themselves.
Lu Li knew that Guiguzi was waiting for him to return!
Just then, a towering figure burst in. Everyone looked up and saw it was Jian Chen!
After returning to visit Guiguzi, he went back to the Qin state.
I received a letter from Wei Zhuang a few days ago, saying that Guiguzi is critically ill and I should return immediately!
Jian Chen traveled for three days and three nights without sleeping, and returned to Yunmeng Mountain.
But he still didn't make it to see Guiguzi one last time.
He stood there in disbelief, staring at Guiguzi's serene face, when Jian Chen's expression changed instantly.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood gushed out!
"Senior Brother!"
Everyone shouted anxiously, but Jian Chen stubbornly refused to fall. He walked to Guiguzi's bedside and knelt down with a thud.
"Master, your unfilial disciple Jian Chen has returned!"
Jian Chen seemed to have used all his strength to say those words.
Lu Li was speechless at this point, and could only continue reciting the Yin Talisman as if he were to fulfill Guiguzi's last wish.
The entire house, and even the entire Yunmeng Mountain, seemed to be immersed in sorrow!
After saying those words, Jian Chen collapsed to the ground and fainted.
The remaining people rushed forward, and Wei Zhuang checked on Jian Chen before fainting from a sudden surge of anger.
Lu Li was also in a bad state at this time. He seemed to have lost his mind and kept reciting the Yin Talisman.
Wei Zhuang tried to interrupt, but was stopped by Xiao Lu'er.
"Let him finish reciting it."
Wei Zhuang looked at Lu Li with tears in his eyes and continued to kneel on the ground.
But Lu Li recited it over and over again, showing no sign of stopping.
Finally, Little Deer stepped forward and said to Lu Li, "Brother Lu, Master has already left!"
"Master is gone! You must carry on the banner of Guigu."
"Your master's funeral arrangements still need to be made; you can't fall down!"
Upon hearing Xiao Lu'er's words, Lu Li slowly raised his head, revealing bloodshot eyes.
Little Deer hugged Lu Li tightly, her heart aching, and said, forcing back her tears, "You are the senior disciple of Ghost Valley. Now that Master is gone, you must shoulder the responsibility of the entire Ghost Valley."
Lu Li forced himself to stand up and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Liang, my master... has passed away. Please inform all families of this news."
Little Zhang Liang, his eyes red and swollen, said, "Yes, Senior Brother!"
"Wei Zhuang, have all the junior brothers come to the inner courtyard to wear mourning clothes. Seven days later, we will bury our master!"
Wei Zhuang took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"
"Fusheng, deliver this message to the King of Qin."
"yes!"
After arranging everything, Lu Li suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed into Xiao Lu'er's arms, fainting.
The next day, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, emerging from his grief.
He had a dream about the first time he met Guiguzi.
He was young and ignorant, and arrogant. It wasn't until he traveled with Guiguzi for three years that he realized how powerful Guiguzi was.
It was from there that he truly began to regard Guiguzi as his master.
He kept all the good things for himself: Yin Fu, Tianwen Sword, and Guiguzi!
He favored Lu Li like a father.
However, he never actually held a formal apprenticeship ceremony with Guiguzi, nor did he ever kowtow to him.
Because he was from a later era, he was very resistant to kowtowing, but Guiguzi did not care. He simply told him that becoming a disciple was just a formality, and if he did not want to kowtow, he did not have to.
Guiguzi's personality and thoughts always transcended his time; he was not bound by many rules and regulations, nor did he have any restrictive or unconventional ideas.
Although he was displeased that Lu Li wanted to build the Black Ice Platform, he did not stop him.
Lu Li engaged in a debate with a hundred schools of thought at the Hundred Schools Conference, while Guiguzi applauded excitedly from below the stage.
He felt guilty towards Lu Li for ten years simply because he allowed Jian Chen to protect Yue Qi!
He was just being protective of his own, but he showed all his favoritism to Lu Li.
Thinking of this, tears welled up in Lu Li's eyes again.
Master, Master, Guiguzi truly lived up to the role of a teacher and father, while he failed to fulfill his duty as a disciple.
Guiguzi knew that Lu Li cared for the people of the world and was proud to have such a disciple as Lu Li. Therefore, he did his best to help Lu Li realize his wish.
"Junior brother, may I come in?"
Jian Chen's voice came from outside the door; he had also woken up.
Lu Li slowly stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
The moment the door opened, Lu Li's pupils contracted, as if he had seen something unbelievable!
Jian Chen's hair had turned completely white!
His hair turned white overnight!
"Senior Brother...you, how did you become like this?"
Jian Chen's face was ashen. He looked at Lu Li and asked, "What did Master say to you before he left?"
Lu Li took a deep breath and said softly, "My master told me about your background. Your name is Gai Nie..."
Lu Li told Jian Chen everything Guiguzi had said before his death, and also told Jian Chen everything he had heard from Mi Yuan.
“I think Master told me all this so that you would change your name back to your original name,” Lu Li said.
Jian Chen didn't speak, he just nodded.
"You're saying that Master was injured by a Taoist back then?" Jian Chen asked.
Lu Li nodded and said, "But the person who hurt Master has been dead for many years."
