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

Gu Junming was not embarrassed when his trick was discovered, but rather felt relieved.

But he still pretended to be angry and complained:

"That's what you said!"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The path of swordsmanship is far from as simple as you think."

"Once you choose this path, there's no turning back. Otherwise, you'll be restricted for life and stop here!"

Thinking of an old friend in his memory, Gu Junming pondered for a while.

Whispering in a voice that only I could hear:

"Just like that person, he won countless times, but that one time, he lost everything, and it was hard to get over it..."

"Brother, don't underestimate me." Xi Zhaozhao was unhappy. She held her head high and said proudly, "If heaven hadn't given me Xi Zhaozhao, the sword path would have been as dark as night for eternity."

Gu Junming couldn't help but be amused by Xi Zhaozhao's words, and encouraged appropriately:

"In that case, I will just look forward to it."

"Of course, I..."

"You seem to be in good shape, so let's practice for another half hour."

Xi Zhaozhao: “…”

Why can't I control my mouth?

For the next half hour, Gu Junming half-reclined on a throne chair, eating melon seeds and watching Xi Zhaozhao swinging her sword with interest. During this time, Wen Zixi also came here.

Standing quietly beside Gu Junming.

"Ahem! There seems to be something on his face..."

"Haha, Lao Liu, look at Zhao Zhao. He's just like when you first entered the mountain gate. It's as embarrassing as it can be!"

"Yeah... yeah, time flies."

Gu Junming swung his feet leisurely, without even looking up, and handed over a handful of melon seeds, "Do you want some?"

"No, keep it for yourself, brother."

Wen Zixi looked a little different today than usual. Although she was still dressed in her signature dark green outfit, looking dignified and elegant, her hair was tied up in a spiral shape, and there was a bit more charm between her eyebrows and eyes.

"It seems like a bug flew into my eye. Can you help me take a look?"

Wen Zixi pretended to cover half of her eye, and used the other to secretly observe Gu Junming's expression.

"It's just fine sand. Just rinse it."

Gu Junming looked indifferent and said with a smile:

"Where did the bugs come from in the east room? The ones in Lao Ba's medicine garden are almost the same."

After saying that, Gu Junming shouted to the front: "Hey! Zhao Zhao, I'm watching you, don't be lazy!"

"Haaaaaa! Big windmill!!!"

Xi Zhaozhao roared angrily, and the sword danced with his body, using the inertia generated by the rotation of the object to spin wildly.

In an instant, the fallen leaves nearby seemed to be pulled by the air current and involuntarily floated towards Xi Zhaozhao.

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself." Gu Junming reminded, but his eyes became brighter.

Just because of Xi Zhaozhao's actions.

Gu Junming saw the sword shadow.

Layer upon layer of emerald green sword shadows overlapped.

It stirs up the wind, causes the dust to dance, and is like the roar of a dragon in a box. A green light suddenly appears, revealing its sharp edge.

A natural sword immortal embryo!

Gu Junming felt happy, thinking that perhaps Zhaozhao’s future achievements would catch up with that person.

bass--

A faint light blue sword energy slashed out, like the sound of a string from the sky, and it filled the air in an instant.

It dissipated one meter in front of Xi Zhaozhao.

“Huhu… I’ve reached my limit…”

Xi Zhaozhao plunged the Qingguang sword in his hand into the ground, leaned on the hilt, and gasped for breath, feeling extremely tired.

Gu Junming kept putting melon seeds into his mouth, stunned like a wooden chicken, unable to calm down for a long time.

What did he just see?

Is this an illusion? How long did it take him to practice before he could create his first sword energy?

"Uh, I don't feel like moving at all..." Xi Zhaozhao looked depressed and turned to look at Gu Junming: "Big Brother, is half an hour that long?"

"Huh?" Gu Junming was stunned and said with a smile:

"That's enough, that's enough for today."

Gu Junming thought secretly that maybe he could take Zhaozhao with him when he went to the Central Plains during the harvest season.

I haven't seen that guy for many years. I wonder if we will have the chance to meet each other this time.

"Great!"

Xi Zhaozhao's tiredness disappeared completely, and he excitedly threw the Qingguang Sword into the grass beside him.

He ran towards Wen Zixi happily.

"Sister, you've just finished your morning exercise. Let's go to the small lake on the hillside to wash up!"

"Small Lake?" Gu Junming frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding, and asked tentatively:

"Zhao Zhao, how did you know there was a small lake on the side of the mountain?"

"Senior Sister Bai told me."

Xi Zhaozhao laughed heartlessly:

"During the days when Senior Sister Bai was guiding me, I would always go take a bath after finishing my practice."

“It’s really amazing!”

Her bright eyes sparkled with pure innocence, and she couldn't wait to say:

"After taking a bath, I felt that all the fatigue in my body was swept away, and my whole body and mind were healed!"

Wen Zixi opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

She glanced at Gu Junming's dull expression out of the corner of her eye, shook her head helplessly, and sighed in her heart.

"Big Brother, Big Brother?"

Xi Zhaozhao stretched out her pink palm and waved it in front of Gu Junming, who felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Turning to look at Wen Zixi, he asked curiously:

"Senior Sister, what happened to Senior Brother all of a sudden?"

Gu Junming turned his eyes away, clenched his chest tightly, and looked painful. At this moment, he felt his heart was bleeding.

The Earth Spirit Liquid, priceless and elusive! He had paid a huge price, risking his life to bring it back, a rare treasure, a top-grade medicine.

One drop can cure a hundred poisons, two drops can heal a wound;

Three drops of flesh and bones, four drops of soul return.

No wonder Zhao Zhao is becoming more and more attractive, just like Bai Linglong when she was a child...

and many more!

"puff--"

"Big Brother!!!"

Gu Junming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and trembled all over, feeling both heartbroken and physically painful.

Xi Zhaozhao was so scared that she hurried to check the former's condition.

Wen Zixi kept shaking his head.

In fact, Wen Zixi also knew that there was a spring of spiritual liquid on the mountain.

Including several disciples who are ranked at the top.

It has basically reached a certain stage.

Gu Junming would carefully scoop a scoop for them to cleanse their bones and lay a solid foundation.

But no one expected Bai Linglong to be so bold as to steal the little fortune that Gu Junming had left.

For bathing?

It's amazing that Xiao Jiuer could come up with this idea...

"Brother, I'm fine."

Gu Junming endured the pain in his heart that felt like a knife cutting him, and looked up at Wen Zixi.

He squeezed out a pale smile, his voice trembling:

"Junior sister, since the small lake has such therapeutic effects, you should try it too. Don't...don't waste it."

"Also, this makeup suits you very well."

Wen Zixi sighed with regret again.

He nodded and was about to take Xi Zhaozhao away when he suddenly looked stunned.

I turned around to look at Gu Junming, who was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking like he was wondering, "What's the point of living?"

Did she hear it correctly?

Big Brother just said that the makeup suits her very well...

Brother...did you notice?

"Senior sister, your face is so red."

Xi Zhaozhao blinked her innocent eyes and asked with concern, "Are you sick?"

"Yeah." Wen Zixi smiled broadly, pinched Xi Zhaozhao's fair little face, and said, "Senior Sister has a disease that makes her blush easily when she is praised."
