The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Boom, boom...

Boom——

A cloud of dust fell from the beams.

Gu Junming suddenly threw off the quilt and stood up, looking around in fear and breaking out in a cold sweat.

What's going on? What happened?!

The sky outside the window was turning a little pale.

The sky is getting brighter and the weather is a little cooler.

After being awakened by Mo Laiyou's movement, Gu Junming thought he was having a nightmare when he saw that nothing happened around him.

He scratched his head in confusion:

"How strange! I've never had such a disturbing dream before, but today, what's going on?..."

"Waaaaaa! Big Brother!!!"

While he was thinking, Xi Zhaozhao suddenly appeared and scared Gu Junming.

All I saw was a small Xi Zhaozhao, wearing a slightly loose pink and white training robe, with tearful eyes.

She jumped onto Gu Junming's bedding and burst into tears.

That hysterical look made him look so aggrieved.

It was as if Gu Junming would never wake up again.

"What's wrong, Zhao Zhao?"

Gu Junming was still sleepy and yawned loudly. His nonchalant expression showed that he didn't take it seriously.

Now Gu Junming is over thirty years old, but compared with the little junior sister brought back by True Man Ziyun, he is several dozen years younger.

There is more than Bai Linglong between them.

Therefore, Gu Junming did not think that such a little girl could be disturbed by anything serious.

At most, it's because he is too eager to play and cannot adapt to the boring and tedious training in the early stages.

"Is Lao Ba too strict?"

Gu Junming had a pair of squinting eyes under his crescent-shaped eyebrows.

He reached out his hand familiarly, stroked Xi Zhaozhao's bun, and comforted her:

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll give him some instructions later and tell him to relax... When it comes to cultivation, it's important to proceed step by step and steadily."

"Only by laying a solid foundation can one's future practice soar and rise to great heights."

"If you are too eager to achieve success, your foundation will be unstable, and you will breed inner demons and fall into the lower plate."

"what--"

As he spoke, Gu Junming couldn't help yawning again.

"Woo woo." Xi Zhaozhao shook her head vigorously, still crying bitterly, which made Gu Junming feel helpless.

"You have to tell me what's going on, right?"

Gu Junming sighed:

"Although I entered the sect early and have learned a little bit, if you don't tell me, even if I exhaust all my knowledge, I will never be able to figure out what you are thinking."

"No, Senior Brother... Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Sister Yan are fighting again..."

Xi Zhaozhao said cryingly.

"Those two guys..."

Gu Junming felt ashamed because the third brother had just promised him last night that he would not take the second brother's mistake seriously.

Not long after that, they started fighting again in front of Zhao Zhao.

No wonder the ground was shaking for no reason just now. It turned out that it was caused by these two guys.

but......

Gu Junming looked down at Xi Zhaozhao, feeling somewhat puzzled. What does the fight between the two have to do with you, girl?

The quilt is wet...

It seemed that he could see the doubts in Gu Junming's heart.

After a while, Xi Zhaozhao sniffled and explained:

"I was practicing walking with Senior Brother Li this morning, and Senior Brother Xiao came over to apologize for what happened yesterday."

"Just then, Senior Sister Feng Yan happened to pass by and said, 'This is how you apologize. Your voice is so soft.' Suddenly, a huge argument broke out!"

“And then…Wow!!!”

Gu Junming twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling embarrassed.

It turned out that this girl took all the responsibility on herself, mistakenly thinking that her seniors had an argument because of her, so she came to complain to him.

"Oh, let me see... something is wrong." Gu Junming suddenly realized something, turned his head to look out the window, and muttered:

"Old Five and Old Six ended their retreat early."

Gu Junming rubbed his sleepy eyes, moved Xi Zhaozhao, who was confused, away, and slowly lay down on the bed.

"Zhao Zhao, let me take a nap."

"With Junior Sister Wen's intervention, your senior brothers and sisters must have settled the fight by now."

"Go back to Lao Ba and continue practicing your daily lesson. You must know that the key to cultivation is perseverance. Don't slack off, and don't give up halfway."

The voice became quieter as he spoke, and Gu Junming closed his eyes again.

I have absolutely no intention of getting up early.

Xi Zhaozhao puffed out her cheeks and said in a gloomy tone, "Big Brother, you yourself said that cultivation should not be slack. Even Senior Sister Bai got up early to meditate, and yet you are still sleeping in here!"

"You can only talk big!"

Xi Zhaozhao shook Gu Junming with a look of hope as she spoke:

"Brother, can you help me lay the foundation?"

"Senior Brother Li didn't say anything. He just shook his head, nodded, and even tilted his head."

"I don't even know if what I did was right... Senior Brother, Senior Brother?"

At this moment, Gu Junming felt exhausted.

I remember that after the second brother Xiao Jianxin formally became a disciple, he was the one who taught him personally.

The third brother was not long gone, so he decided to teach everyone to the end.

But you can go to the back.

The fourth brother is ambitious, the fifth brother is willing to learn, and the sixth brother is humble on the surface.

The intelligible Seventh, the taciturn Eighth, the lively and active Ninth...

This shouldn't be the case!

Logically speaking, it was True Man Ziyun who led Gu Junming into the sect and taught him Taoism. After he learned it, he passed it on to Xiao Jianxin and Yan Chichun. The subsequent disciples should have been led by these two people. Why did the burden fall entirely on his shoulders?

Gu Junming felt that sometimes he really should look for the reasons within himself, wondering whether he had been working hard over the years and why he hadn't waited until the day of stepping down.

"Big Brother, do you dislike me?"

Xi Zhaozhao's mouth pouted and she was about to cry again.

Gu Junming opened his eyes woodenly, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind frantically saying:

"Damn old man!"

"Didn't I accidentally kick over your broken bowl? God knows you were begging for alms with that."

"Screw the immortal patting his head, screw his immortality!"

Seeing that Gu Junming had woken up, he was still reluctant to leave the bed where he had slept for more than ten years.

Xi Zhaozhao pursed her lips and was about to continue her gentle attack.

Suddenly, a gentle and peaceful voice came from outside the door.

"Big Brother, it's been a while since we last met. I'm here to pay my respects to you. Please bear with me if I've troubled you."

"Last year I met you among the flowers, and today the flowers are blooming again... In a blink of an eye, another spring has arrived."

A woman in a dark green gauze skirt walked into the house slowly.

Behind her, there was a humble woman with the same appearance.

The latter smiled and said:

"After such a long separation, Junior Sister naturally misses you the most. I wonder if Senior Brother is still as charming as the flower that bloomed when we parted?"

Xi Zhaozhao looked at the two senior sisters whom she had never met before.

She had heard Senior Brother Nangong introduce the fifth and sixth senior sisters before, but seeing them today was truly an eye-opener.

Who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?

They are so similar that it is impossible to tell them apart with the naked eye!

"You don't have to pay your respects, but... you better save yourself from these little tricks. Are you alone? Where's Lao Wu?"
