Chapter 1469 Too Ambitious
With a concrete and feasible solution in mind, everyone cheered up again.
The previously gloomy atmosphere vanished instantly. While Gu Xia was checking the direction with the Six Ren dice, Sang Wan subconsciously clenched her fist and was the first to shout, "Charge! Charge! Charge!"
It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"???"
Yi Ling looked at her, puzzled. "The person who was arrested isn't from your sect, why are you so agitated?"
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the direct disciple of those two sects.
Because of their past experiences of purchasing elixirs from the Yanxia Sect on multiple occasions, the two had a fairly good relationship, even though they were not from the same sect.
"What happened?"
Sang Wan rolled her eyes at him. "Although the people who were captured weren't from our sect, no one said we couldn't go along to join the fun... oh no, I mean, go along to rescue them."
Everyone: "..."
If they heard correctly, she meant to say "join in the fun," right?
Before she could blurt out her true thoughts, Sang Wan slammed on the brakes and continued, "Besides, it doesn't matter whether others go or not, but Gu Xia will definitely go." After all, her senior brother was one of the two who were arrested.
"Moreover—Gu Xia is currently undergoing tribulation! Do you even understand the significance of those two words, you idiot?" Her tone was filled with barely concealed excitement. "If we can be of any help, that would be great, so we can gain favors from both the Taiyi Sect and the Lingjian Sect."
"That's a favor that's crucial for someone's tribulation!!!" It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's as heavy as Mount Tai.
Sang Wan held up two fingers and waved them in front of him. "Even if we're not needed, it's okay. But Gu Xia will definitely kill Qu Yimian for what she did. Then we can get a close-up understanding of the tribulation and take action, you idiot!"
Yi Ling was a little dazed by her words, "Oh, oh..."
That seems to be true.
but--
"Explain if you want, but what's with calling me an idiot all the time?!" His face twisted, finally snapping out of his daze of being insulted.
Sang Wan put her hands behind her back, looked up at the sky, and whistled a melodious tune.
Well, it's mainly because I usually curse in my mind and it just slipped out unintentionally.
The relationship between Xuanming Sect and Yanxia Sect is quite good. After all, one sect is wealthy and the other is powerful, and their disciples frequently trade with each other in private.
Occasionally you sell some pills and magical artifacts, while he sells some talismans and the like. Everyone gets what they need and helps each other out.
The elders above knew about these things but pretended not to see them, turning a blind eye.
Especially for direct disciples, who frequently enter secret realms or take on high-risk missions, elixirs, which can restore health in critical moments, are indispensable.
The other mentors are fine, but Yi Ling is a typical example of someone who can't bargain.
In her opinion, they were just rich, stupid people who wanted to come to her, so she often whispered about it with her senior classmates.
At this moment, Yi Ling, who was labeled as an 'idiot', was practically spitting fire in his eyes, but the girl in front of him had a wandering gaze, looking at the sky and the ground but not at him.
"Oh, don't be so angry." She blinked and peeked out from behind her senior sister with a grin. "Besides, didn't I kindly remind you? Let's call it even."
Yi Ling: "..."
Hey, hey, hey, did he agree? How come we're even now?
"Alright." Li Tingyun had just suffered a minor setback at Gu Lanyi's hands, and seeing his junior brother still jumping around beside him, he slammed him down with a powerful punch. "Then practice your cooking more."
He's so naive and innocent, why does he have to pick a fight with other girls?
Yi Ling held her head in her hands, looking aggrieved, "Waaah..."
Seeing this, Sang Wan felt a little guilty, and then whispered to him to make up for it, "That's why I was so excited. If Qu Yimian didn't probably look down on me, I would have wished that I was the one who got arrested."
After all, favors can be forfeited, but opportunities to observe someone's tribulation-crossing technique are rare.
Previously, because of that troublesome group of ghost cultivators, they hadn't dared to pay close attention to the battle between Gu Xia and Qu Yimian.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yue's smile froze: "..."
She suddenly felt the need to re-instruct this bold junior.
The corners of the eyes of the other relatives who heard the story also twitched uncontrollably.
Ah this.
When did you alchemists become so reckless?
"...So cunning." One of the disciples couldn't help but sigh. These alchemists who often deal with all kinds of spiritual plants and pills must have eight hundred schemes in a second, right?
However... their eyes lit up the more they listened.
However, that makes sense.
That's a great idea; they're theirs now.
Nothing can stop them from saving Shen Weixun and Xie Baiyi's hearts!
In an instant, the pressure fell on the Six Ren dice.
The artifact spirit, suddenly locked onto by a group of predatory eyes, was speechless.
No, are you sick?
The disciples didn't care; they just kept urging him on.
"Did you find it? How's it going?"
"Hurry, hurry, I can't wait to save Shen Weixun and Xie Baiyi."
The passion that suddenly surged within the group of disciples was even more fervent than that of the two sects that had truly lost their senior brother.
This is probably the first time the five direct descendants have been so united.
*
"Ah, okay, okay, I'm feeling it now."
The Six Ren dice were suspended high in the air, spinning continuously. The moment the movement suddenly stopped, she quickly opened her eyes, sensed the specific direction they were pointing, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I almost jumped up on the spot to show my excitement.
To be honest, she was under a lot of pressure just now, okay?
Gu Xia and her group of lunatic protégés stared at her intently, their eyes practically gleaming, like something out of a horror story.
Upon hearing this, everyone rubbed their hands together, eager to leap onto their spirit swords and magical artifacts and disappear into the distance.
Standing to the side, Yue Ming, who had been completely ignored from beginning to end, said: "..."
What about him?
Didn't any of these disciples realize that their sect leader was still here?
The problem is that, even if it's the other people, what angers him the most is that none of his disciples remembered him as their master.
Traitor!
Perhaps it was the oppressive atmosphere surrounding him that made Gu Xia turn around and look at him with surprise. "Why haven't you left yet?"
What do you mean he hasn't left yet?
Where should he go?
All the emotions that had welled up in his heart just now vanished. His face darkened slightly. He didn't respond to Gu Xia's words. Looking at his somewhat agitated disciples, he said expressionlessly that he would take Gu Lanyi away.
"???"
Gu Lanyi's pupils dilated in shock. "Why, Master?"
Didn't you promise me that before?
Why would you suddenly take him away with you?
"What do you mean, why?" Yue Ming raised his hand to grab the person, his tone displeased. "Why are you running around when you're injured? From now on, stay by my side and behave yourself."
He had only said it casually, but now he suddenly regretted it. He shouldn't have let him run wild. Now, among all the disciples present, he was the most seriously injured.
Bai Song and Cheng Jing pulled their junior sister to shrink into the crowd.
Great, it seems Master's move is aimed at Senior Brother.
None of the three of them were injured. As long as they quietly stayed to the side and pretended to be dead, there shouldn't be any problems.
Gu Lanyi stared in shock at her fellow disciple, who had huddled in a corner and transformed into a dark mushroom.
With two useless senior brothers protecting her, Chu Xianyin had nowhere to hide and could only stare innocently at them.
We're sorry, senior brother, we were just too eager to improve.
I'm sure you can understand us, right?
Isolated Gu Lanyi: "..."
He doesn't understand anything!
What's the difference between him and his parents suddenly showing up and dragging him back home, even though they had already agreed to go out and play with his friends?
Although she knew Yue Ming was worried about her, Gu Lanyi still refused despite her disability, saying, "No need, Master, I can do it."
The injury from being pulled while speaking was still throbbing slightly. He was now briefly empathizing with Mu Qingzhou, and only one thought was on his mind.
Even if it hurts to death today, he has to hold on until the end and see with his own eyes how Qu Yimian dies.
Depend on.
Otherwise, it would be unfair to his injuries and even more difficult to quell the hatred in his heart.
No additives, purely malicious.
As the sect leader, Yue Ming naturally wouldn't run around with them. He knew he probably couldn't do anything about Qu Yimian, so he might as well leave it to Gu Xia and let the professionals handle the professional matters.
He could go back to protect those cultivators, and bringing Gu Lanyi back was also to ensure his safety.
To dispel the other party's idea, Gu Lanyi couldn't help but say, "Master, you're overthinking it. Gu Xia should be able to guarantee my safety better."
After all, if the cultivators undergoing tribulation are not safe, then the cultivation world is truly doomed.
"You agree, right, Gu Xia?" He took the opportunity to wink at the other person.
Gu Xia blinked. "How about this, if you beg me—"
Gu Lanyi said without hesitation, "Please."
Gu Xia: "..."
Honestly, this was a bit sudden.
Other mentors exclaimed, "Wow!"
This scene was truly rare. Li Tingyun was still holding a grudge about not having exchanged a proper argument earlier, and she chimed in quietly, "Well, so you've completely abandoned all shame just to avoid being taken away by your master, huh?"
He could say whatever he wanted, but Gu Lanyi remained unmoved.
joke.
They're talking as if everyone here has some kind of shame to speak of.
It's just that the government can't control them, which is why they can only stand by and make sarcastic remarks.
He was going all out today; he was determined to see Qu Yimian die, no matter what.
Gu Xia hadn't expected him to agree so readily, and stared at him as if she'd seen a ghost, until she noticed a faint blush rising on the boy's fair earlobes.
Gu Lanyi felt her scalp tingle from being stared at so intently that she almost lost her temper and became furious. Only then did she look away.
"Alright then." Since he's already begged him, it's not unreasonable to help him this once in a while.
Yue Ming, rejected by his own eldest disciple and struck with a critical blow, shattered into pieces.
