Chapter 387: A Sect with Millions of Disciples

Hearing Gu An's comfort, Wu Jue could only smile bitterly.

A sneer came from a cell next door.

"Covering the sky with one hand? The Sheng family really has this ability!"

Gu An turned his head and saw a white-haired old man walking to the edge of the cell. He grabbed the redwood with a pair of bony hands and looked at Gu An with contempt.

Gu An pretended to frown and asked, "Are you also from the Sheng family?"

The old man smiled and said, "If I were from the Sheng family, how could I end up like this? I am just like your friend. I have offended the Sheng family, and the Elders' Hall also told me to stay out of the spotlight. I have been locked up for a hundred years. I am afraid I can only stay here for the rest of my life, waiting for the day when the Sheng family will kill me."

After hearing this, Wu Jue lowered his head slightly.

Gu An said angrily: "I don't believe it. Is the Sheng family really so overbearing? I will go find the sect leader now!"

After saying that, he turned away.

Wu Jue opened his mouth but said nothing in the end, although there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The Third Medicine Valley is full of hidden talents, and the sociable Gu An might really be able to find a way.

After Gu An's breath disappeared in this level of the dungeon, he felt a little worried again.

He suddenly became afraid that this matter would fail and would implicate Gu An instead.

"Wu Jue, right? I didn't expect you to have such a foolish friend. Aren't geniuses supposed to be surrounded by hypocrisy?"

The old man said in a mocking tone, but Wu Jue did not respond and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Wu Jue had already experienced this guy's sharp tongue, and he was unwilling to argue with such a person.

He seemed distraught, but he was confident deep down.

He can still understand the truth! If no one helps him to seek justice, one day, he will seek justice for himself! On the other hand, Gu An did not go directly to Lv Baitian after leaving the dungeon.

It's rare for Wu Jue to gain enlightenment, so let him settle down for a while.

Gu An wandered around the inner city, met with disciples who had been disciples for two hundred years, and inquired about the situation of the Sheng family.

Although he could deduce, in order to immerse himself in this feud, he wanted to get involved as an ordinary person. If that didn't work, he could only overcome the feud with virtue.

Gu An's disciples were spread all over Taixuan Sect. They said they were here to spy on the Sheng family, but in fact they were there to get free food and drinks.

After a day of shopping, he felt satisfied both physically and mentally.

Judging from today's gains, the Sheng family is indeed powerful. There are so many noble families in the Taixuan Sect, but not many can stand out and become feared by others.

The disciples were all afraid that Gu An would offend the Sheng family. After learning why Gu An was inquiring about the Sheng family, they all advised him not to interfere in the matter.

It was already evening when we returned to the Third Medicine Valley.

The valley was still brightly lit, and even from a distance, Gu An could hear the disciples' laughter and joy.

Gu An felt grateful in his heart that fortunately those powerful families of Taixuan Sect did not endanger his Medicine Valley.

If the situation becomes dangerous, there will only be rivers of blood.

Gu An came to his attic. He did not go upstairs immediately, but knocked on Ji Xiaoyu's door.

"Come in."

Ji Xiaoyu's sweet voice came from inside the house. Gu An pushed the door open and closed it.

When he walked in front of Ji Xiaoyu, she asked curiously, "It's rare to see you take the initiative to look for me, is there something wrong?"

"What are you talking about? Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong? Didn't you blame me for not taking the initiative to look for you for decades?" Gu An said dissatisfiedly and was about to turn around and leave.

Ji Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the bed, quickly grabbed his wrist.

"Of course I can find one. Come and sit down." Ji Xiaoyu smiled softly, then pulled Gu An to sit beside him.

Gu An snorted, "I saw that your house was brightly lit, and for some reason I wanted to come and talk to you, but the first thing you said made me so angry."

"Oh, isn't it okay if I'm wrong?" Ji Xiaoyu said helplessly.

Why did this guy suddenly become so childish?

It's quite fun though.

When Ji Xiaoyu thought of this, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Gu An smiled and said, "That's more like it. Today I met Wu Jue. You know, he..."

He began to tell about Wu Jue's experience, and Ji Xiaoyu listened carefully. She had an impression of Wu Jue, so she listened very carefully.

After Gu An finished talking about the martial arts secrets, he went on to talk about his communication with other disciples.

Gu An was talking for the first half hour.

Ji Xiaoyu suddenly figured out what he meant. Could this guy be asking her for help? As a result, Gu An finally sighed: "Even in Taixuan Sect, there are unfair places. Fortunately, our Medicine Valley is low-key and works for Taixuan Sect, so no one disturbs us. Tell me, why are these noble families so domineering? Will they be superior to Taixuan Sect in the future?"

Ji Xiaoyu replied: "It is possible, but difficult. If it really comes to that, Taixuan Sect will only be one of their affiliated forces."

"The stronger the Taixuan Sect becomes, the more hopeless it becomes for those disciples who are in dire straits. Alas!"

Gu An said, standing up and said: "We have talked for so long, it is time for you to continue practicing. Your future is definitely not something that can be restricted by Taixuan Sect."

After saying that, he walked away.

Ji Xiaoyu looked at his back, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

After he closed the door, she couldn't help but mutter, "Sure enough, you came here for something, and you even asked me to apologize and stand there begging for help?"

She shook her head and laughed, then took out a piece of talisman paper and began to write.

As soon as Gu An sat down, he saw the shadow of a white dove flying away outside the window and disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

Gu An raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "Not bad, he is really sensible."

…

A few days later, Lu Baitian came to find Gu An, and he was accompanied by an old acquaintance, the deputy sect leader Ji Hantian.

The three of them sat down inside the house.

Bang! Ji Hantian suddenly slammed the table and cursed: "The Sheng family is really going too far. These noble families from overseas really haven't instilled the righteous philosophy of Taixuan Sect into their thoughts!"

Lu Baitian's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "What are you arguing about?"

“I am just angry. If you give the order to suppress the Sheng family, I will absolutely support you?”

"Why don't you give the order?"

"The Ji family and the Sheng family are on good terms. I'm stuck in the middle. It's not easy for me to be a human being."

"You're talking as if the Lu family didn't get any benefits from the Sheng family. It's just as hard for you and me."

Watching the two people passing the buck, Gu An found it funny, but at the same time he felt that Tai Xuan Sect had become a little frivolous.

Yes, the Taixuan Sect is expanding rapidly, and the speed at which local high-level figures improve their abilities cannot keep up with the pace of the Taixuan Sect, so their power will naturally be diluted.

Gu An said, "I suddenly want to write a book."

Ji Hantian's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea. Pan An's appeal is still very strong."

Gu An glanced at him and said, "Well, I will write that the Sheng family is a powerful family that the Ji family and the Lu family are afraid of."

Ji Hantian glared and said, "Gu An, stop joking!"

Gu An asked, "I can understand that the Sect Master is here, but Senior Ji, why are you here?"

Ji Hantian snorted, "It's all because of you that Ji Xiaoyu actually helped you. I had to come here in person."

Gu An was immediately a little unhappy and said, "Back then, the Third Miss was forced to go to the Seven Star Spirit Realm and you were unable to stop her. Now that Ji Xiaoyu has asked you to do something, you are in trouble again. Although the Ji family is strong, why do you feel that it was gained by compromise?"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Hantian's face instantly turned gloomy.

Gu An opened the drawer, took out the destiny pen, and at the same time pulled out a piece of white paper from the pile of papers next to it.

Seeing that the two were arguing, Lu Baitian said, "I also believe in Wu Jue, but after all, the Sheng family has lost a disciple, and his aptitude is considered to be among the top three in the contemporary era. We must give an explanation to the Sheng family. I promise that I will not let Wu Jue get into trouble."

Not to mention his relationship with Gu An, Gu An has been offering advice and suggestions over the years, and he feels from the bottom of his heart that Taixuan Sect’s current strength is inseparable from Gu An’s contribution.

Gu An did not say anything, but wrote down names on the paper. They were all names of people related to the Wu Jue incident. Some were from the Sheng family, and some had other surnames. They knew the truth, but wanted to push Wu Jue into the abyss.

If they were forced into a desperate situation, that would be fine, but the cause of the incident was that they followed the genius of the Sheng family in insulting Wu Jue and even fought with him, so they lied to protect themselves.

If you choose to be a lackey and bully others by taking advantage of your power, then be prepared to be bitten back.

"What are you doing?" Lu Baitian asked with a frown. Gu An just wrote and didn't speak. He was really afraid that Gu An would do something stupid.

He said earnestly, "The Sheng family has an immortal. Do you know how high the immortal's cultivation is? If the immortal path is smooth, you will have to practice for tens of thousands of years. Even the immortal of Taixuan Sect has not lived as long as that immortal."

Ten thousand years!

These two words were so heavy that Lu Baitian and Ji Hantian felt infinite pressure when they thought of the age of the Sheng family's immortal.

Gu An raised his pen, looked down at the name on the paper, and said with resentment: "I hate myself for being incompetent. If I were also an immortal, how could I sit by and watch my best friend suffer?"

After saying that, he took the Pen of Destiny and made two strokes on the paper, writing a big X as if to vent his anger.

Lu Baitian comforted him, "Don't think like that. Besides, the Sheng family is just angry. They didn't continue to put pressure on me."

Gu An looked at him and said, "Do you remember what I told you hundreds of years ago when you were still Mr. Tian?"

When Lu Baitian heard this, he fell silent.

Ji Hantian said earnestly: "Gu An, don't be impulsive. If you act recklessly, the three of us may suffer. We will be abandoned by our family, and you will be abandoned by Taixuan Sect. These are all possible."

Gu An said: "Okay, I understand, just pretend I don't know about this."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Lu Baitian felt a little worried and asked, "Really?"

"I am just a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. I can't break into the dungeon, nor can I step into the threshold of the Sheng family. What can I do?" Gu An replied.

After hearing this, Lu Baitian could only sigh.

"I won't see you off. I'll remember what you said."

As Gu An spoke, he pulled out a book from the side.

Lu Baitian wanted to say something, but Ji Hantian pulled him back. The two looked at each other, then stood up and left.

Although Gu An was a little disappointed, he could understand that not everyone was as confident as he was.

But he has already made a move. It depends on what these two people do next. If they don’t do well, they should move away.

It has nothing to do with friendship. The positions of leader and deputy leader of Taixuan Sect need to be taken up by people with greater courage and spirit, because Taixuan Sect is not a sect of an aristocratic family, but a sect of millions of disciples.
