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

On the way back together, Xi Zhaozhao was still brooding over what had just happened and felt extremely guilty.

Xi Zhaozhao, ah Xi Zhaozhao, you said you were fine but you had to act pitiful. Now you feel better, right? You deserve it!

In fact, Lao Ba did not intend to remain silent in front of everyone, but he had his own reasons.

He had had problems with his voice a long time ago, and his words were harsh and unpleasant to the ear.

It doesn’t mean that Lao Ba is not good at talking.

But when he opens his mouth, he easily causes people to feel physically repulsed. Not only may he be looked down upon by others, but he will also be a burden to himself.

Just shut your mouth, be mute, let others go, and let yourself go.

Anyway...everyone is used to it.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Li, I didn't mean to..."

Xi Zhaozhao lowered her head and kept touching her index fingers in front of her body, looking both self-blaming and embarrassed.

Lao Ba's eyes showed kindness. He smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Xi Zhaozhao's little head a few times.

Then, Lao Ba, like a magician, groped behind his back with his right hand and took out a bag of colorful candies. He gave them to Xi Zhaozhao while making a silence gesture.

Even without much talk, Xi Zhaozhao gradually understood what Lao Ba wanted to express.

It's like a tacit understanding or a feeling. Even if they don't say it out loud, they can still clearly understand what each other is thinking.

"Yeah, thank you, Brother Li!"

Xi Zhaozhao once again showed her innocent smile, like a favored child, her smile was particularly bright.

"Zhao Zhao, Lao Ba, you are here."

Xi Zhaozhao quickly hid the candy behind her and looked at Gu Junming who was slowly walking towards her with a wry smile.

Next to Gu Junming was Wen Zilian, who was aware of all of Xi Zhaozhao's little moves.

"Good morning, Senior Brother, good morning, Sixth Senior Sister!"

Xi Zhaozhao greeted him warmly, but Gu Junming was confused. Where did Sixth Senior Sister come from?

It seemed like a flash of inspiration.

Gu Junming raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and looked at Wen Zilian with a mixture of laughter and tears, and jokingly said, "Sixth Senior Sister?"

"Yes, what are your instructions, brother?"

Wen Zilian is dignified and beautiful, intellectual and elegant, but at this moment she is cooperating with Gu Junming in making a little joke.

However, Gu Junming gave up the idea of ​​introducing Wen Zilian to his junior sister.

Since Lao Wu didn't deny it, I think he must have his own plan.

It would be better to just watch from the sidelines and give these sisters some time to build a deep friendship.

At that time, two identical "Sixth Senior Sisters" appeared in front of Zhao Zhao...

That scene was so funny.

Xi Zhaozhao looked a little puzzled, not understanding why the senior brother was suddenly laughing for no reason.

He looks just like the idiot at the village entrance, moody and hard to guess what he's thinking.

"Big Brother, are you looking for me?" she asked.

"That was my original plan, but then I thought about it and suddenly changed my mind."

Gu Junming smiled.

Just half an hour ago, Wen Zilian and Gu Junming expressed their desire to choose a martial arts technique for Xi Zhaozhao, but because they did not have the key to the treasure house, they wanted to ask him to go down the mountain.

Gu Junming, however, thought that life in the mountains was dull and tedious, and he wanted to take this opportunity to bring Zhaozhao out into the world to relieve his boredom and satisfy the child's natural desire for freedom.

However, from this point of view, the other treasure is on Wen Zixi, and taking Xi Zhaozhao down the mountain will inevitably be exposed.

Besides, my junior sister seems very happy, so why not just find another day?

"Hiss, you really don't hold back..."

this will.

A familiar figure appeared. Nangong Xiuzhu gasped and walked towards the few people while rubbing his eyes.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that Nangong Xiuzhu has a bruise on his left eye socket and looks a little tired. It seems that he was defeated outside and beaten up.

"What's this look like?" Gu Junming became interested and raised his eyebrows. "Win or lose?"

"It would be strange if I could win, but I am... never mind."

Nangong Xiuzhu sighed, then covered his eyes and said, "Since everyone is here, let me tell you something."

They looked at each other at first, and finally turned their attention to Nangong Xiuzhu.

I want to see what he is up to.

Gu Junming raised his head and gestured, "You go."

"I'm going on a long trip to avoid the limelight. I won't be back in the short term."

Nangong Xiuzhu took out a jade slip from his arms.

"This is the 'Spiritual Interaction Jade' I asked someone to refine. The advantage is that no matter how far apart we are, we can still receive each other's messages. The disadvantage is that it can only be used once."

He handed the jade slip to Gu Junming and sighed, "If you need me with something important someday, you can just crush this jade. I can still feel you even if we're thousands of miles apart."

Having said that, everyone present understood that Nangong Xiuzhu's departure this time was probably just like Gu Feiyao who had not returned for many years, and no one knew when he would come back.

However, the reason why Gu Feiyao joined Taiyi Sect was just for a transition. He will naturally fly away when his wings are fully grown.

It can be said that Gu Feiyao is the only one in the sect who has not formally worshipped Master Ziyun as his master.

What he carries is far heavier than anyone can imagine, and his departure is inevitable.

But Nangong Xiuzhu...what's wrong with him?

"What's the background of the other party?"

Gu Junming understood the hidden meaning of Lao Qi's words. The reason why he stayed out of the spotlight was simply because he didn't want to implicate the sect.

Nangong Xiuzhu has always been a very shrewd person who acts prudently and will not act rashly without careful consideration.

This time, I think I'm really in trouble!

"I'll take care of this."

Nangong Xiuzhu shook his head and chuckled:

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

"It's okay. Some people from all walks of life are not worthy of my attention. It's mainly because of me..."

"This isn't just my decision."

Nangong Xiuzhu took a deep breath, smiled freely, and said with high spirits:

"I figured it out. If I want to do great things, I can't just focus on the scenery in front of me."

"This is too sudden."

Gu Junming hesitated for a moment and tried to persuade him to stay:

"Old Nine is still cultivating. Don't you plan to say your final goodbyes to her?"

"Junior brother, have you really decided?"

Wen Zilian frowned slightly and spoke as well.

As the one with the closest relationship with Nangong Xiuzhu, Lao Ba also frowned at this moment.

I was puzzled by the former's sudden departure.

But when he recalled what Nangong Xiuzhu had said to him, Lao Ba soon felt relieved.

He opened and closed his mouth, silently admonishing:

【Take care of yourself!】

"Haha, forget it, Junior Sister." Nangong Xiuzhu bent his fingertips and rubbed the tip of his nose, "Otherwise, if she makes a fuss, it will be difficult for me to take care of her."

Say it.

Nangong Xiuzhu bid farewell to everyone present one by one.

When it was Xi Zhaozhao's turn, she looked reluctant.

He bent down and touched Xi Zhaozhao's hair as usual, smiling brightly and said:

"Zhao Zhao, I've been here for so long and haven't given you any gifts. I have a Qingsi sword tassel here that I saw when I was passing by the downtown area. It's perfect for your Qingguang sword."

After presenting his cheap but memorable gift, Nangong Xiuzhu stood up straight and smiled slightly:

"My friends are still waiting for me. Big Brother, Fifth... ahem, Sixth Senior Sister! Eighth Junior Brother, and Zhao Zhao."

"The green mountains share the same clouds and rain, the bright moon is never in two places. We... have a long future together."
