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

As the morning light was breaking, Wen Zilian came to the side of the main hall as usual to pay her respects to Gu Junming and called him to get up.

But I found that Gu Junming had gotten up early.

"Senior Brother, it's rare to see you not sleeping in today. Is it because I didn't sleep well, or did you stay up all night?" Wen Zilian stretched out the last syllable and asked tentatively.

"How could that be? I still feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep."

Gu Junming replied with a smile. He folded the quilt that brought him warmth every late night, then yawned and got out of bed.

If you look closely, you can easily see that there is a layer of purple around Gu Junming's eyes, obviously he did not sleep well.

Or maybe, I didn't sleep at all.

"How is Lao Jiu?" Gu Junming asked.

Although the junior sister is naughty and often causes trouble for Gu Junming, he has seen her grow up since she was a child, so he still feels worried about her.

Ying Yucheng's words when he came down the mountain really gave Gu Junming a lot of insights.

For example, the fifth sister Wen Zilian and the sixth sister Wen Zixi, in fact, the two sisters should have gone down the mountain to make a living long ago.

However, because Gu Junming coughed up blood for no reason one night, Wen Zilian, who was training outside, rushed back without stopping.

This also caused Wen Zixi, who was planning to go down the mountain to follow in her sister's footsteps, to change her plan temporarily.

He stayed on the bamboo peak and practiced hard.

The second in command, Xiao Jianxin, was originally heading to the Zhengmeng headquarters, but chose the nearby Liuyun Township.

"I got up and started meditating half an hour ago."

Wen Zilian replied.

"That's it."

Gu Junming hesitated for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand to let Wen Zilian come to him.

Wen Zilian was suspicious, but still did as he was told.

"Old Fifth, to be honest, I'm almost forty years old."

Gu Junming said kindly.

Wen Zilian nodded thoughtfully.

When the two sisters first entered Taiyi Sect, they were the same age as Xi Zhaozhao is now.

By that time, Gu Junming was already full of vigor and ambition, and had made a name for himself in the Eastern Divine Region and even the Five Regions.

Perhaps the other disciples hadn't heard of the "Lord of the Bright Sword," but Wen Zilian, after revisiting his old place and returning to the Northern Xuan Territory, had heard people secretly mention him...

This name is taboo in the vast five realms.

"What did you mean by that, brother?"

Wen Zilian was puzzled as to why the eldest senior brother would tell him this. Even if he was forty years old, in the eyes of the cultivators, he was no different from twenty-eight years old.

Although the eldest brother has become a mortal, there are still many elixirs and medicines for longevity in the Taiyi Sect's treasure house.

Living to be a hundred years old is no problem!

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to discuss this with you."

"I thought long and hard last night, looking back on the past, and made a decision."

Gu Junming breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. This decision...

This should have been done long before the seventh brother arrived.

Wen Zilian frowned slightly, vaguely guessing the answer, but still asked knowingly:

"Senior brother, it doesn't matter."

"After we go to the Central Plains for the autumn harvest, I plan to go back to my hometown to take a look."

Gu Junming lowered his eyes.

"That's a good thing." Wen Zilian nodded. "It just so happens that Junior Sister is also quite curious about Senior Brother's past. Since there's a chance this time, why not go with Senior Brother?"

"Brother, what I mean is..."

Gu Junming took a deep breath, looked into Wen Zilian's calm and peaceful eyes, and smiled slightly:

"This time I'm going to the Central Plains, and I'll be staying there for a long time. In other words... I won't be coming back."

"can."

Wen Zilian respected all of Gu Junming's decisions, and even though she was reluctant, she nodded in agreement.

Gu Junming put his hands behind his back and walked to the door.

His eyes scanned everything familiar around him.

He sighed again, "Master has a transcendent mind, traveling around the world and never returning. I'm sure he's begging in some shabby place right now."

Gu Junming raised his head slightly, and said with deep emotion:

"I was born into an ordinary family. When I landed, there was no unusual sign in the sky. I was just an ordinary person."

"But fate played a cruel trick on me. My beloved parents died of illness one after another, leaving me alone and struggling to survive."

"Though life is as thin as paper..."

“But my heart hates the height of the heavens, I crawl on the earth, unyielding, drawn into the dust, unable to escape.”

There was a hint of a smile on his lips as he continued:

"Living in the market, pretending to be something."

"I dare not take off my disguise in front of others, nor dare to look directly at the filth in my heart behind others. Fortunately, I met Fugui, and we became clear-minded and ambitious. We both entered the immortal sect and competed for supremacy."

"When I was young, I soared into the sky, conquered demons and monsters, walked on snowy mountains, gazed at the starry nights, entered the forbidden city, and watched fireworks..."

At this moment, Gu Junming seemed to have turned back into the Sword Master that everyone admired, and he laughed loudly:

"Go deep into the ink sea to capture the dragon, and challenge the four shrimp soldiers with swords. Burn poetry, boil wine, discuss heroes, and watch the world change with a smile."

"The Beast Forest is a secret place filled with dangers, but my name remains on the ancient blue monument. What a shame it is to cross the desert in search of the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'There is no shame in achieving success.'"

"Junior sister..."

Gu Junming looked back suddenly, and was as carefree as ever.

"My time as a brother may have ended, but yours... has just begun!"

For once, Wen Zilian was distracted, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was her senior brother who always lay limp in bed and yawned at every turn.

Or perhaps, this kind of senior brother is the one with a transcendent temperament in her earliest memory.

"hiss......"

Gu Junming covered his lower back with his hands, grimacing, "I turned too hard just now, and I think I sprained my waist."

"Junior sister, come quickly and help me."

"...Big Brother, you can actually continue to be so handsome."

Wen Zilian held his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed to watch.

"Being handsome is useless." Gu Junming tried to straighten his back and took a deep breath. "Who doesn't care about background and influence when trying to make a living these days?"

"Do you think the evil cultivators dare to touch anyone from the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

"I once encountered such a fellow. He relied on his cultivation being one realm higher than others and wanted to attack the disciples of Mingshen Sect. Guess what happened?"

"Blown into pieces by Lei Haotian!"

Gu Junming said with lingering fear.

This was not an exaggeration, but a scene that really happened in front of Gu Junming. He remembered that the man was the eldest son of the leader of the Black Demon Hall, the leader's biological son.

But he still couldn't escape Lei Haotian's pursuit. Even when the guardian of the Black Demon Hall showed up, he was still powerfully destroyed, leaving no trace of his body...

"Brother, you know a lot of famous people."

Wen Zilian skillfully took out two pieces of crappy ointment from the cabinet and applied them to Gu Junming personally.

"It's not even close to knowing each other."

Gu Junming also clearly relaxed and spoke freely: "But if Lei Haotian offends you in the future, you can just call me brother and scare him to death!"

“Is it that exaggerated?”

Wen Zilian chuckled, it was impossible to believe it all.

After all, Lei Haotian has the rare "Du'e Thunder Body" in the world, and is known as the most powerful saint son of Mingshen Sect throughout the ages.

His famous name "Thunder Lord" is known to everyone in the Western Heaven Region and is very popular.

Just like the "Peach Blossom Fairy" of the Hundred Flowers Palace in their Eastern Divine Region, everyone knows her.
