I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Senior, why are you silent?"

Ye Hongling's question was like a vicious sword piercing her heart.

The angle is tricky.

The attack was ruthless.

It's a killer!

At least, that was the case for Nian Chaoxi. She was completely confused. Facing Ye Hongling's question, she could only stammer:

"me……"

But after hearing "I" for a long time, Nian Chaoxi had no idea how to answer. Even the image of a master that he had always maintained was difficult to maintain, and tears began to flow again.

Not only because she didn't know how to explain it.

Moreover, she knew why Gu Xiu's skills were so ordinary.

Five hundred years ago, the Qingxuan Holy Land was still called the Qingxuan Sect. At that time, it was just an ordinary, third-rate sect.

At that time, the most advanced martial arts of the sect was a mysterious martial arts book called Qingxuan Jue!

Back then, Gu Xiu relied on that mysterious technique to cultivate himself into an invincible genius in the world!

after that.

He even tied himself up and entered the forbidden area to participate in the battle for the source of blessings!

After Gu Xiu entered the forbidden area, Qingxuan Sect suddenly began to receive infinite blessings. The originally third-rate sect rose strongly in just five hundred years.

Join the ranks of those entering the holy land!

Although it is just an ordinary holy land sect and does not have any deep foundation or accumulation, many things have been improved under the blessing of the source of blessings.

Regardless of whether it is the magic weapon given to the disciples before.

It is still a practice method for disciples to cultivate.

Among them, he was extremely lucky in practicing martial arts and obtained a top-grade martial arts technique!

Although not everyone can learn it, at least all of his disciples have switched to this method.

As for the mysterious technique from five hundred years ago.

It has become the practice method for ordinary inner disciples at the lowest level.

Three years ago, when Gu Xiu returned from the forbidden area.

He was seriously injured and plagued by Taoist wounds, and the sect leader even determined that he would never be able to practice again in this lifetime.

Naturally, it was impossible for Gu Xiu to learn the sect's top-grade martial arts technique.

Or……

Not learning.

No one in the entire sect was willing to even give Gu Xiu a second glance!

Because everyone thinks the same way.

Gu Xiu is useless.

What else is there to see?

What if Gu Xiu passes this technique on to others in the future?

Having heard this statement before, Nian Chaoxi just thought that the ideas of his master and fellow apprentice sisters might be a bit extreme.

But think about it.

After seeing Gu Xiu again, everyone in the sect seemed to have not only lost their feelings for him, but also become more distant.

But...

Be prepared!

If you think about it more, in these three years, no one has ever truly treated Gu Xiu as one of their own!

Otherwise, why did Gu Xiu, despite his master's assertion that he could not cultivate in this lifetime, still be able to cultivate again? Otherwise, why, after resuming his cultivation, could Gu Xiu only use the most common Xuan-grade techniques?

This series of thoughts made Nian Chaoxi face Ye Hongling's questions.

fell into silence.

She couldn't explain it clearly.

Nor can it be explained.

It can't be said that the way their Qingxuan Holy Land treats the sect heroes is to constantly torture them after their return and treat them as outsiders, right?

This is the truth.

But... it is also a truth that cannot be told to others!

Even at this moment, Nian Chaoxi suddenly thought of a question that he had never thought about before.

I have always been.

They are all trying to bring Gu Xiu back to the sect, hoping that everything will be reconciled as before and that everything will return to the way it was.

in the end……

Is it really correct?

In other words, even if Gu Xiu really went back with me, could he really return to the way it was five hundred years ago?

……

And when I was thinking about the day and night and bursting into tears, I could no longer control myself.

Yunxiao City on the other side.

Tingyuju is in the small courtyard.

Gu Xiu stopped practicing and walked out of the room.

A well-behaved little maidservant, wearing a jade-green silk dress, immediately came forward and said, "Master Feng, the meal is ready. Xiaohe will serve you some!"

"Thank you, I can do it myself."

Gu Xiu thanked him, then took the bowl and chopsticks to serve himself, turning around and asking, "Have you eaten yet?"

The little maid quickly shook her head: "Master, you haven't eaten yet, how dare Xiaohe..."

Before Xiao He could finish, Gu Xiu shook his head: "You don't have to wait for me in the future. If you're hungry, just eat first. Come, let's eat together."

As he said that, he handed over a bowl of rice.

It seemed like just an ordinary action to Gu Xiu, but it made Xiao He freeze in place.

Unbelievable.

This immortal...

Should I let myself sit at the table and eat together?

He even served food to his little maid?

"Master, no, absolutely not. Xiaohe is a servant. There is no reason for me to let you serve me food yourself, and I am not qualified to sit at the same table with you." Xiaohe was startled and said hurriedly.

Gu Xiu shook his head: "I've said before, I just asked you to help with the laundry, cooking, and yard work. There's no such thing as master and servant. You don't have to be so reserved."

However, seeing how frightened Xiao He was, Gu Xiu understood.

My persuasion was useless, so I simply didn't say anything more.

Eat quietly.

Two days in the city.

Gu Xiu has now completely settled down.

He spent eight hundred spirit stones to buy the Tingyuju courtyard where he lived from Wanbaolou at a low price. It was said to be a purchase, but in fact it was a gift. There was a curfew in Yunxiao City, and every inch of land was worth a lot of money.

Eight hundred spirit stones can buy a quiet and elegant courtyard.

It's simply impossible.

As for the maid named Xiaohe, she was a mortal woman given by Wanbao Tower. Her biological father was once a casual cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, but he was killed by his enemies and she became an orphan. She had no choice but to sell herself to Wanbao Tower as a slave.

Gu Xiu did not refuse, after all, he was a cultivator.

But he ultimately did not achieve the Golden Elixir Fasting.

I am busy with cultivation every day, so I always need someone to help with laundry and cooking.

While we were eating, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by an extremely arrogant voice:

"Open the door, open the door quickly, this month's tribute must be paid!"

"Listen up, everyone. Our Green Fish Gang is now in charge of South City. Come out and pay your tribute quickly. Otherwise, if you're late, any trouble that happens to your compound will have nothing to do with us."

"..."

These loud shouts made Xiaohe, who was originally planning to go forward and open the door, startled.

I was so scared that I couldn't move.

Speaking of which, Yunxiao City, as a city of independent cultivators, is considered a holy place in the dreams of countless independent cultivators. For most independent cultivators, it seems that as long as they come here, they can live an easy and comfortable life.

But in fact...

His temples are gray with frost, and the young man spends his old age in the world of martial arts.

Even ordinary sects would have various conflicts in private, not to mention Yunxiao City where a large number of independent cultivators gathered.

There really aren't many sects in Yunxiao City.

But there are a lot of gangs.

Many independent cultivators who are full of expectations for Yunxiao City will first be taught a lesson by these numerous gangs after arriving in Yunxiao City.

The ideal place only exists in ideals!

Just like now.

Even if you buy a yard and never go out of the front door or the back door, you still cannot avoid disputes. Every year, a large number of gangs are born and a large number of gangs are destroyed, and ordinary independent cultivators in Yunxiao City.

Can only survive in the cracks.

"Bang bang bang!"

"I know there are people in here, so I advise you to open the door quickly, otherwise you will be going against my Green Fish Gang!"

Seeing that the door had not been opened for a long time, the person outside started knocking again impatiently, as if he was going to break down the door.

Xiao He was so scared that her face turned pale and she looked at Gu Xiu for help.

But Gu Xiu didn't even put down the bowl, and said:

"Don't be afraid."

"But..." Xiao He swallowed his saliva and was about to say something, but heard a strong scolding voice outside the door:

"You little bastard, how dare you mess with our Senior Feng? Senior Feng is a guest of honor of our Kuangsheng Gang. If you come and cause trouble again, I will destroy you!"

However, the Qingyu Gang obviously did not take the Kuangsheng Gang seriously and immediately cursed back, but the curses turned into screams.

immediately.

Then I heard a cold snort:

"Fellow Daoist Feng is a guest of Wanbao Tower. Outsiders must not be provoked or offended. Anyone who violates this rule will be an enemy of Wanbao Tower!"

This time, the noise outside the door became quiet again.

Xiao He had been eavesdropping at the door in fear until she heard that the crisis was over. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, only to see that Gu Xiu had just finished his meal.

Put down the dishes and get up to leave.

Xiao He hurried forward to clean up, but found that many of the dishes Gu Xiu had eaten were only half eaten, and the other half was left.

It's obvious who this is for.

Xiao He suddenly looked up and looked at Gu Xiu's back with a bit of gratitude.

However, when he thought about what happened outside the door just now, gratitude was replaced by shock.

It was true that she came to Gu Xiu's place to be a maid, and it was sent by Wanbao Tower, but from the beginning to the end, Wanbao Tower only told her to serve well and did not tell her the identity of this immortal.

She was not told what extra she needed to do.

This made Xiao He think that she was just a maid for an ordinary guest of Wanbao Tower. Although this immortal was a little different from others, she never thought much about it.

But now it seems...

The identity of this immortal is probably even more powerful than I imagined!

At least, Wanbaolou has assigned someone to provide protection to prevent harassment from outsiders.

Not everyone is qualified!

Gu Xiu didn't know about Xiao He's surprise, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. At this moment, he had returned to his training room, opened the restriction, and prepared to practice again.

but……

Before he could start, a sharp pain from his soul suddenly hit him, making Gu Xiu's face turn pale in an instant.

The wound has recurred.

Fortunately, this was not the first time that his Dao injury had recurred. Gu Xiu had no choice but to sit cross-legged and grit his teeth to persevere. It was not until the sky had completely darkened that the recurrence of the Dao injury finally ended.

At this moment, Gu Xiu's clothes were soaked with sweat, his white hair was scattered all over his head, and he looked a little disheveled.

But Gu Xiu didn't care, and didn't even complain. He just simply washed up and changed into clean clothes.

He then sat cross-legged again and began to practice.

The matter of Dao Injury needs to be resolved, and the opportunity that Gu Xiu came to Yunxiao City for is the solution to the Dao Injury!

But before that opportunity appeared.

What he needs to do is continue to improve himself!

Silent all night.

The next morning, when Gu Xiu walked out of the room, he met Su Rumei who came to visit him.

After arriving in Yunxiao City for two days, Manager Su has been busy all the time. Although he has made all the arrangements for Gu Xiu, he has never been to Tingyu Residence. This time, he took some time off and came to visit Gu Xiu as soon as possible.

She didn't come empty-handed.

in contrast.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, I heard that you recently asked Xingsheng to help collect some secret manuals on martial arts. Coincidentally, my Wanbao Tower has quite a few of these, so I brought them to you. Although their quality isn't very high, they might be useful to you."

"By the way, although this Tingyu Residence is considered elegant, it has not been maintained for a long time. This time, I specially brought a few spiritual plants and some Taihu stones to place in the courtyard. In addition to adding some beauty, it can also help to gather spiritual energy."

"Also, Fellow Daoist Feng has been practicing diligently, but perseverance and spirit stones alone are not enough for cultivation. I happened to have brought some talismans with the effect of gathering spirits, so I'll give them to Fellow Daoist Feng."

"..."
