Chapter 305: A Two-Way Journey
When the next day arrived, Gu Heng woke up very early.
It's more accurate to say that he barely slept at all.
After eating and drinking his fill last night, and playing around with the little girl, Gu Heng also helped her wash her clothes before going to bed.
Once you're in bed, you need to digest it.
He was digesting everything that had happened to him in the short two days since he arrived in the capital of Sunfire.
It didn't even take two days.
This left Gu Heng with mixed feelings. After all, it was the first time he had taken Qin Yiyao on a long trip, and it was also a rare opportunity for him to step out of his comfort zone. This was probably why he had felt particularly exhausted lately. He felt that there were still many things he hadn't sorted out.
Gu Heng tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep soundly, as if some troubling thing was lingering in his mind.
They encountered too many things, and even on their way from Yunling City to Riyan Capital, they were subjected to a bizarre kidnapping...
Not to mention the people and things that happened after arriving in the capital.
"Ugh……"
Gu Heng slowly opened the system interface.
Looking at the task bar, the "Ignite the Red Line" task was dimly lit.
He was very nervous.
Strictly speaking, Gu Heng had never had the chance to meet a great figure like Jiang Lingyun before. Let alone her, he had never even met anyone weaker.
But yesterday, I don't know why I suddenly had that courage and boldness.
He dared to instigate Jiang Lingyun to conspire with him to kill the son of another important figure, and even that person himself would suffer the consequences!
Gu Heng found this very exciting.
He, a mere mortal, had become involved in and masterminded these events, and had even used Jiang Lingyun's power to threaten a Grand Elder.
It turns out that even ordinary people can have such extraordinary days.
However, it was very exciting while doing it, and afterwards...
He even started to feel scared.
If the fact that he is actually just a mortal is revealed, then the boomerang will definitely fly back and chop off his head.
The thought of that scene sent a chill down Gu Heng's spine. Therefore, they absolutely could not be exposed!
Especially now that he has a little girl as a family member by his side.
Fortunately, there is no possibility of exposure now. Both Jian Xuan and Jiang Lingyun are willing to endorse Gu Heng's "strength". As the saying goes, there are great scholars to defend me, so why worry?
Having figured all this out, Gu Heng relaxed, even though he knew walking the tightrope would become increasingly dangerous.
He got up and dressed neatly.
Qin Yiyao was playing with her sword in the courtyard.
Although Gu Heng couldn't understand what kind of sword moves she was using, it was getting better and better.
Bai Feier had also woken up early and called for a servant to prepare a sumptuous breakfast, which she brought to the courtyard.
In the stone pavilion in the courtyard, Gu Heng, Qin Yiyao, and Bai Feier were having breakfast. The food was quite simple, prepared according to the standards they had at Gu's Medical Clinic: roasted pork, sweet white porridge, steamed buns, and eggs.
The time spent eating was also very cozy.
The little girl was in high spirits and in a good mood. Bai Feier had something on her mind, which was nothing more than the troubles that Liu Yu had encountered yesterday.
When a close friend encounters such a near-dead situation, she will naturally have worries, but she won't show her gloom on her face.
Furthermore, Gu Heng said he would help.
Moreover, Bai Feier also needs to prepare for today's competition.
Today is the last day of the Imperial Grand Competition, which will begin after noon. Gu Heng has some understanding of this. Bai Feier still needs to defeat one opponent to enter the finals, which will be held in the evening.
However, Gu Heng was very confident that she would pass.
Jiang Lingyun said yesterday that she really hopes to take Bai Feier as her apprentice.
Unlike him, who would just pick up a girl off the street and take her home as his disciple, Jiang Lingyun was a true great cultivator.
She would never accept someone with mediocre talent as her apprentice.
That conversely proves that Bai Feier must be very talented!
but.
Since Sect Leader Jiang wants to take her as his disciple...
Gu Heng could try to sound out Bai Feier's opinion for Jiang Lingyun first.
"Miss Fei'er, you practice swordsmanship, so do you have a master or anything like that?"
Gu Heng suddenly said.
Bai Feier looked up at the question with a slight puzzlement, but she still said, "When I was still in the family, there was an elder who taught me swordsmanship, but only for the first two or three years. After I turned twelve, he had nothing left to teach me."
"Therefore, I do not have a master now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's eyes flickered slightly. Could someone who started self-studying after the age of twelve really become so accomplished through self-study?
What kind of talent is that? To be able to learn this much on your own is a bit scary.
No wonder Jiang Lingyun wanted to take her as her disciple. Regardless of the fact that Bai Feier has been self-taught for seven years, if she were properly taught by the world's number one swordsman, who knows what heights she would reach in the future.
"I see... Miss Fei'er, don't you plan to find a powerful master to teach you properly?"
"After all, sometimes, when you're learning on your own, you might end up taking a lot of detours."
After Gu Heng finished speaking, Bai Feier indeed fell into deep thought, and even rested her chin on her hand, seemingly agreeing with the suggestion.
However, she was more curious as to why Gu Heng would ask her such a question.
Is it possible...
Is Young Master Gu planning to take her as his disciple? To be honest, Bai Feier is somewhat jealous of Qin Yiyao, but she is by no means willing to share "Master's favor" with Qin Yiyao.
She is a person who knows how to be content.
Moreover, she had a fairly clear understanding of Qin Yiyao's personality.
This girl can eat anything, except sour things.
Bai Feier had finally managed to build a good relationship with her and absolutely did not want it to suddenly deteriorate again, even though the temptation for Gu Heng to take her as his disciple was too great.
"I do have this idea, but I'm not really qualified to find those powerful people to be my master..."
She smiled bitterly.
Upon hearing Bai Feier's words, Gu Heng immediately felt reassured.
Oh dear, isn't this a two-way journey?
Jiang Lingyun wanted to find a powerful disciple, and Bai Feier wanted to find a powerful master. What a perfect match!
“Miss Fei’er, don’t be so pessimistic. Sometimes, people get what they want when they least expect it.”
Gu Heng stuffed a whole peeled egg into his mouth, chewing as he spoke.
Bai Feier: ?
do not understand at all.
Young Master Gu has never spoken in such a mystical way before.
