I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

When Gu Lan and the others heard her say this, they felt relieved that they were finally seen and understood, and they were even more in awe of Master Kurumu.

In the midst of the torrent of people practicing Taoism, one can clearly realize that people in the world of Taoism are flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and be able to keep a stable mind, praise them, and encourage them. How much wisdom this requires, and how precious it is!

Gu Lan was very grateful for Master Kurumu's understanding and praise. He bowed and clasped his fists and replied, "I am grateful for Master Kurumu's praise. It is rare for Master Kurumu to know our difficulties. Nowadays, the world of immortal cultivation judges heroes by their strength. The capable ones are at the top, and the incapable ones are at the bottom. In such an environment, Qianjimen has to encourage itself to struggle and be self-reliant."

Master Ku Mu smiled slightly, "You are very similar to Yun Tiannan. Although you are young, you have learned etiquette very well."

Gu Lan smiled and thought that this Master Ku Mu was quite humorous and his choice of words and sentences was quite fresh.

"Is your master okay?"

"To reply to the master, I am now in good health with the care of Master Shanshui of the Wanfo Sect."

"His body..." Master Kurumu clasped his hands, lowered his head, looked at the three siblings standing in front of him, and sighed, "You disciples should take good care of Master and don't let him worry anymore."

"Master is right." Gu Lan replied, pulling out a letter from his bosom, "This is the letter that my master asked me to bring to you. My master asked me to say hello to you. He is sorry that he cannot come to visit you in person because of his old injury that has not healed yet."

Qin Susu came down, took the letter and handed it to Master Kumu. Master Kumu held the letter but did not open it. After hesitating for a moment, he put it on the table.

Gu Lan took a look and knew that Master Ku Mu wanted to read the letter in private, so he did not urge him. The letter had been sent, and it was time to leave. Gu Lan said, "In this case, we will not disturb the master's rest. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute." Master Ku Mu stopped the three of them. "What happened tonight was planned by the people of the Demon Sect for a long time. Fei Fei has just told me briefly about the surprise attack of the Demon Sect. I also know that they have received a lot of help from you... Speaking of which, I only have these two disciples. They are usually strictly disciplined. They are solid in swordsmanship and magic, but lack a lot of practical experience. Now they are facing the disciples of the Demon Sect. Although they can fight for a few rounds, they are not flexible and are taken advantage of. They are also injured by the poisonous smoke. If it weren't for your help, Fei Fei and Su Su would definitely suffer a great loss tonight. Thank you in advance."

Gu Lan didn't expect that Master Kurumu would come to thank her in person. She was quite surprised, but she could understand it after thinking about it again. She only had two direct disciples, so it was inevitable that she would be more fond of them. Seeing that she rescued her disciples in time and made them safe and sound, they must be grateful.

"Master, why are you being so polite? Since you and my master are friends, then I am also friends with Senior Sister Feifei and Junior Sister Susu. When a friend is in trouble, it is natural to help him. There is no need to thank me."

Master Ku Mu smiled and said, "You don't sound like Yun Tiannan when you say that. You two should learn from him because you have such a clever tongue like candied fruit."

"Master is right." Ruan Feifei smiled.

Qin Susu stuck out her tongue at Gu Lan, and Gu Lan smiled slightly and blinked.

Master Ku Mu was tired after saying all this, so he waved his hand slightly, "Okay, you can leave now. Fei Fei and Su Su will stay. I have something important to tell you."

Gu Lan led the two junior brothers out. After they left the door, Xue Hao let out a long sigh and patted his chest, "I was so scared. I didn't dare to say a word in front of Master Ku Mu just now, but you, Senior Sister, were not afraid at all. Not only did you answer fluently, but you also spoke so beautifully. It's simply... that dwarf you often talk about, Senior Sister?"

"What dwarf? It's an e-man!" Meng Xin added.

Xue Hao chuckled, "Senior Sister told me about it, but I forgot it again."

Gu Lan patted Xue Hao on the shoulder and laughed at him, "What are you afraid of as a strong young man? Are you afraid that Master Ku Mu will eat you?"

"That's not the case. I just feel... an indescribable pressure."

Meng Xin also nodded, "I feel a little pressure too."

After all, they are teachers, the traditional kind of teachers. Their status is the same as that of students. When students see their teachers, aren't they like mice seeing a cat?

Gu Lan could understand this.

Thinking of the look that Master Ku Mu gave the elders, Gu Lan paused for a moment and warned his two junior brothers, "We should stay in the guest room for the next two days and don't go out."

"Ah? Why?"

"Why are you asking so many questions, kid? It's a good opportunity to practice while the spiritual energy is abundant here. I want to check your homework."

"Ah? Senior sister, please don't do that. We finally came out here, and you still want to check our homework on behalf of Master..."

Gu Lan pinched Xue Hao's ear and said, "You are the only one who dances happily. You are an ignorant person. Master Ku Mu was praising you just now. Are you lazy so soon?"

"Sister, please be gentle, it hurts so much. Practice, practice. I will definitely practice well."

"That's more like it." Gu Lan let go of his hand, and Xue Hao rubbed his ear exaggeratedly.

Meng Xin laughed secretly, "Third Brother, you always show off your quick words, aren't you just asking for a fight? Senior Sister, I think Third Brother needs some physical training, so that he can be more honest."

"Wow, you clever ghost!" Xue Hao rushed over, hugged Meng Xin, and wanted to hit his funny spot... The two of them chased and played as they talked, one running and the other chasing, and soon they ran to the front. The wind they stirred up knocked over the elf beside them, and it somersaulted several times in the air.

Gu Lan smiled gently and held them in her arms. The elves became dizzy and fell to the ground, all lying on Gu Lan's arms.

"I'm sorry, my two junior brothers are naughty boys, please be more tolerant." The elf naturally didn't understand what Gu Lan said, but seeing that she was kind and had a gentle tone, he couldn't help but rub against her affectionately.

After teasing the elf for a while, Gu Lan stood up and continued to walk forward, swinging the corners of his clothes and belt as he walked, in a happy mood.

Let Master Kurumu clean up the house in the next few days. It is best for them to pretend to be deaf and dumb to the outsiders. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. Who wants to have their family disgrace watched by others?

Gu Lan guessed that the Demon Sect’s attack this time must have been caused by an internal traitor and external collusion.

Because one of the unreasonable ones is the elders.

Even if the Demon Sect invited external help, could they hold back all the elders of Feiyun Cave? What about the elders guarding the treasure pavilion? Didn't they notice anything unusual?

The traitor would certainly want to reap the benefits, and work together inside and outside. If the disciples of the Demon Sect succeeded, they might hijack it halfway and hide it for their own use? After all, such a secret treasure can save the soldiers and rebirth, which is absolutely tempting. Moreover, they have been together day and night for so many years, and they are seduced like a magic ring every day. It is possible that they have evil thoughts and make mistakes for a while.

But, that was Feiyun Cave’s family affair, and she couldn’t interfere.

Sure enough, Feiyun Cave became lively the next day. Xue Hao wanted to go and watch the fun, but Gu Lan brought him back and didn't let the three of them go out. After a few days, Feiyun Cave finally became quiet.

A disciple knocked on the door early in the morning and Gu Lan opened it.

"Senior Sister Gu, Master wants to see you."
