I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 108: Temporary Guests

Bai Feier felt that the daughters and granddaughters of those elders should also be "sold off cheaply" to see if they would still say anything about "understanding".

They won't know the pain unless you cut into their flesh.

Gu Heng was unaware of her inner thoughts; he only caught a fleeting glimpse of anger and hatred on Bai Feier's face.

Of course, Gu Heng didn't have any good solutions either.

He was just a nobody running a clinic. The Bai family was not an ordinary noble clan, but a powerful cultivation clan with extremely high thresholds and strict family rules. Gu Heng, a mere mortal, had no right to speak in such matters.

Moreover, it's not his place to worry about Bai Feier's affairs.

No matter what, he's still a cultivator. With a sword in his hand, where can't he go?

If he could cultivate, why would he need to run a clinic and worry about making a living every day? He would have already been running around with a sword.

The world is so vast; without strength, one will be confined to this small corner of the world.

After dinner, Gu Heng asked Qin Yiyao to clean up and wash the dishes, but this girl, who was usually very obedient, seemed to have suddenly become rebellious tonight and did it very reluctantly.

Gu Heng didn't know what was going on, so he just assumed she was being rebellious.

After dinner, Gu Heng and Bai Feier sat in the front yard, watching the night and chatting.

"So, Miss Fei'er, what are you planning to do next?"

Gu Heng asked.

Bai Feier smiled slightly: "I haven't made any plans yet. Anyway, I don't plan to go back to the Bai family. For now, I'll just be a carefree person, traveling around. I still have to hide from the people my father sent, otherwise I might be caught and taken back." It's a good idea.

He also agreed with Bai Feier. Since they couldn't go home, it would be good for them to go out and explore. After all, the path of cultivation was bound to be bumpy and rugged, and it would be good to broaden their horizons.

“Miss Fei’er, if you have nowhere to go, you can stay here with me now.”

Gu Heng said, "Anyway, I still have empty rooms in this house."

His idea was to help her as much as he could.

Gu Heng had a great deal of appreciation for Bai Feier. She was a cultivator, but unlike most cultivators Gu Heng had met, she was not arrogant. At her age, she dared to leave her comfort zone without hesitation. Just for that kind of mentality, Gu Heng felt that she was completely worthy of respect.

"Oh? I live here..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Feier was clearly taken aback.

"I'd better not. I'm just a fugitive. It wouldn't be good if I accidentally disrupted Young Master Gu's life." She refused.

Staying with Gu Heng would naturally have many advantages, but Bai Feier didn't want to cause him any trouble.

The Bai family is definitely doing everything they can to find her now, and they'll probably be coming to Kuyun Prefecture soon. Staying here for too long will expose too many of his whereabouts and will also affect his life in the mortal realm.

Moreover, Bai Feier didn't want to owe Gu Heng too many favors anymore.

I can't pay it back now, and if I keep owing more, I won't be able to sleep soundly anymore.

“If you have already made up your mind, I will not stop you. However, my apprentice is very interested in sword practice. If you don’t mind, you can stay and keep her company for a few days.”

Seeing that she refused, Gu Heng did not press the matter further, but instead made a suggestion.

He said that because he had some other idea in mind.

Since Qin Yiyao likes to practice swordsmanship, and Bai Feier is also a sword cultivator, who is the only cultivator he knows and has a fairly good relationship with, could Bai Feier stay here for a while and teach Qin Yiyao?

Moreover, what if Qin Yiyao has a talent for cultivation?

He was just an ordinary mortal and couldn't see it, but Bai Feier was different; if Qin Yiyao had cultivation talent...

Then we need to nurture them properly!

However, Gu Heng was too embarrassed to directly ask, "Can you help me see if this girl can become a cultivator?" It would be too blunt.

We should retreat in order to advance, let her accompany Qin Yiyao to practice swordsmanship and give her some guidance. Bai Feier is so smart, she will definitely be able to figure something out.

"If that's the case, then I'll stay."

This time, Bai Feier did not refuse.

Anyway, she wasn't staying long, and besides, she was quite interested in this disciple Gu Heng had taken on. She really wanted to know what extraordinary talent this little girl at the first stage of Core Formation possessed that made him accept her as a disciple. She had even considered talking to Qin Yiyao more on the way there.

But this little girl is so aloof and wary.

That's fine. I'll stay a little longer. It won't cause Gu Heng any trouble, and I can learn more about this mysterious girl.

……

For the next three or four days, Bai Feier stayed in an empty room on the second floor of the clinic.

Since the Bai family was definitely looking for her everywhere, she simply stopped going out and spent her free time chatting with Qin Yiyao in the courtyard. Of course, Qin Yiyao wasn't very willing to chat with her.

She also subtly expressed her dissatisfaction with Bai Feier's stay at the clinic.

It was as if their private property had been violated.

However, she was willing to spar with Bai Feier. Every morning, the two would practice swordsmanship in the backyard, each move showcasing the essence of their skills. Bai Feier always won.

However, Qin Yiyao's swordsmanship also surprised her. Although Qin Yiyao was only at the first level of Core Formation, Bai Feier felt as if she were fighting against a genius of equal strength. At first, she was only three-tenths serious, but soon she had to concentrate fully.

"It seems that Young Master Gu has taken on a very good apprentice."

After practicing their swordsmanship, the two sat under the shade of a tree in the backyard, and Bai Feier praised them with a smile.

Qin Yiyao said calmly, "You flatter me."

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat distant, but once they picked up their swords, they became harmonious again, and they both tacitly maintained this balance.

"I heard you were a genius, and I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after playing against you... well, you live up to your reputation."

But Qin Yiyao rarely spoke to her.

Bai Feier raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile in her eyes. "And what about you?" "Me?"

“A month ago, I was just an ordinary person hiding in the shadows, barely surviving. But now, I have reached the first level of Core Formation and can fight you to a standstill.”

Qin Yiyao pursed her lips, and what she said made Bai Feier's eyelids twitch violently.

In just one month, he leaped from a mortal to the first level of the Core Formation stage?

This speed is terrifying.

Of course, this didn't surprise her too much.

After all, how could Gu Heng's disciple not be special?
