Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy
Chapter 359 Betraying One's Master and Ancestor (13)
Tianqian Sect.
"Senior Brother, are we really going to ally with those people and attack Junior Brother?" Fourth Senior Brother Gu Ce slammed his hand on his chair, staring directly at Gu Chou, who was sitting at the head of the table, his tone somewhat aggressive.
Sitting next to him, his third senior sister, Gu Mei, gently tugged at Gu Ce's sleeve and whispered, "Fourth junior brother, don't worry, we naturally want to save our junior brother."
Gu Ce glanced at Gu Mei, snorted, pulled back his sleeve, and looked around. "Who knows what you're thinking? When our junior brother was taken away by that devil, not one of you stood up to stop him. Instead, you ganged up on me and knocked me unconscious. Now you're pretending to be good people here."
Upon hearing this, Second Senior Sister Gu Huai's expression stiffened. This was blaming her, after all, it was she who had knocked Gu Ce unconscious back then.
She looked up and stared directly at the angry young man in front of her, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "You're talking so nicely now, but you haven't gone to see Xiao Yao since then. Now you have the nerve to come here and criticize us. What a big face you have."
Gu Ce's expression darkened.
He glanced around at the three remaining people in the hall and scoffed, "Very well, very well indeed. Do you still remember what Master instructed us before he passed away? Is this how you fulfill his wishes?"
The three of them were silent.
Gu Mei seemed to be deep in thought.
Gu Huai was speechless, as if he had swallowed a fly.
Gu Chou looked at the furious Gu Ce, took a deep breath, gripped the armrest tightly, and ultimately said nothing.
Seeing no one respond, Gu Ce gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeve, and glared at the indifferent group of people. "Since you won't go to save Xiao Yao, then I'll go alone! I will definitely rescue Xiao Yao. I am Xiao Yao's fourth senior brother, and I will definitely protect him. From now on, Xiao Yao will only have me as his senior brother. None of you are worthy!"
Summoning the Heavenly Star Sword, Gu Ce transformed into a long rainbow and departed.
Gu Huai slumped back into his chair, clasped his hands together, buried his face in his palms, and looked desolate.
The three of them were speechless for a moment.
Gu Mei pursed her lips, not losing her composure. She turned her head to look at her senior brother Gu Chou, who sat at the head of the table with a calm expression, and asked, "Senior brother, are you really going to let our fourth junior brother leave?"
Gu Chou rubbed his temples, his back slightly hunched. "This is the only way. Of the five of us, only our fourth junior brother is not good at divination. You should all be able to figure out the meaning of the divination left by our master."
At this point, the usually gentle and strong man choked up, "Xiao Yao, we can't save her."
"Not only can I not save Xiao Yao, but I don't even know if I can save the Tianqian Sect."
"As the 38th generation sect leader of Tianqian Sect, I have failed the predecessors of Tianqian Sect. I have not been able to protect my junior brothers and sisters, and I am not a qualified senior brother. I have not been able to find a way out for Tianqian Sect. I am ashamed to be the sect leader of Tianqian Sect."
Gu Chou looked sadly down the mountain. There were over a hundred inner disciples and over a thousand outer disciples in the Tianqian Sect. He felt ashamed of them.
His junior brother is suffering in the Demon Palace, and he cannot save him; he is not worthy to be his senior brother.
Gu Mei frowned, watching Gu Chou's chaotic spiritual energy rage, and then snapped the armrest in half with her palm.
She couldn't help but shout sharply, "Senior Brother!"
Gu Chou slowly opened his eyes, suppressing the crimson in them, and forced a smile. "Third Junior Sister, I'm sorry."
Gu Mei looked at Gu Chou, her usually gentle eyes now filled with pain. She couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Brother, you don't have to carry everything on your shoulders. You've already developed a demon in your heart."
"What! Senior Brother, why didn't you tell us anything?"
Seeing Gu Huai's anxious look, Gu Chou smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, don't listen to your third junior sister's nonsense."
Despite her stubbornness, Gu Mei pursed her lips and stared directly at Gu Chou. "Does Senior Brother think that inner demons are something to joke about? Something that can destroy your cultivation path if you're not careful, do you really think you'll be okay with it?"
Gu Huai looked shocked and stared intently at Gu Chou.
Gu Chou's face stiffened, and he turned his head away, somewhat unable to meet the eyes of his two junior sisters.
He is in the wrong, there's no need to say more.
Seeing Gu Chou's guilty conscience and silence, the hot-tempered Gu Huai stepped forward to pull Gu Chou to get medical treatment, but was stopped by Gu Mei.
She shook her head. "Senior Brother has always been calm and composed. He must know what's going on, right?"
As Gu Mei spoke, she turned her head to look at Gu Chou, her eyes narrowing slightly with a hint of piercing gaze.
Gu Chou: Danger!
He chuckled twice, forcing himself to remain calm, "That's natural."
Gu Mei smiled and bowed to Gu Chou, "That's wonderful. It just so happens that it's Xiao Yao's first birthday these days. The Valley Master of Qianjin Valley is traveling and has just arrived. Let him take a look at our senior brother so we can feel at ease."
Gu Chou's face stiffened. Looking at his third junior sister, who was smiling gently in front of him, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He sighed softly and agreed.
It really is a fox.
From childhood to adulthood, there has never been anything that could be kept from this third junior sister.
She always seemed so calm and composed.
Gu Mei nodded in satisfaction, her expression unchanged, showing no sign of having just tricked her senior brother.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, you must have also divined something, so please tell us everything. Although heavenly secrets should not be revealed, there's no other way now given the current situation. Did any of you perform divination beforehand?"
She looked at the two of them, Gu Chou and Gu Huai, and they both shook their heads.
“Previously, I could only vaguely sense good or bad fortune from divination. However, after three attempts, I was warned before I could even form a complete hexagram.”
Gu Chou rubbed his fingertips together and sighed softly, as if he were utterly helpless.
Gu Huai sighed, looked at the two people in front of him, and nodded with a displeased expression, "Me too."
"It seems this truly involves the secrets of heaven. Today, we shall cast the first divination." Gu Mei smiled, her expression one of calm understanding.
Gu Huai's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly, "There is no other way. The Tianqian Sect is destined to face this calamity. Cultivation is ultimately about fighting against fate, but we are still just mortals, only with a longer lifespan than the masses."
"Senior Brother, Third Junior Sister, I may not be as good as you in cultivation, but in divination, I'm a genius praised by Master. I'll do the first divination myself, so don't try to take it from me." Gu Huai smiled and grabbed one of their hands, stopping them from trying to get the first divination.
The first person to divine the secrets of heaven is always the one who suffers the most severe backlash.
"Our eldest brother has taken the blame for so many things for us since we were little, and our third sister has always been clever and always managed to help us avoid Master's punishment. Now it's my turn to protect you." Gu Huai looked at the two of them with gentle eyes and shouted sharply.
"Array up!"
A brilliant golden light shone forth, and three copper coins floated before the three people.
It is Gu Huai's natal spiritual weapon, Qingfu.
Gu Huai reached out and grasped three copper coins, placed them in the tortoise shell, and tossed them.
His movements were so fluid and seamless that Gu Mei and Gu Chou couldn't stop him at all.
After Gu Huai finished tossing the coins once, he looked at the three copper coins on the ground with a gloomy expression.
Gu Chou tried to step forward to stop Gu Huai, but was blocked by a barrier. He looked up at Gu Huai, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Gu Huai had already tossed the toss four times with a flick of his wrist, just one more to complete the divination.
He was unharmed, but his face was deathly pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his lips. His trembling fingertips still reached for the tortoise shell.
Seeing that he was about to shake the shovel one last time, Gu Chou's expression darkened.
"Gu Huai, that's enough! Stop!" He reached out and grabbed the trembling fingertips.
Gu Huai glanced at him, coughed up blood, and her face paled even more, but her eyes shone with an unusual brightness. "Senior brother, let me finish this divination. I have a premonition that we... we will have hope."
Gu Chou's expression turned even colder. Just as he was about to refuse, Gu Mei grabbed him and shook her head. "Senior brother, let Second Senior Sister finish this divination. She is the most talented among us. She must have sensed something to insist on doing this."
Gu Chou frowned, looked at the two of them, and finally let go.
Gu Huai's face was pale, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. His fingertips trembled as he tried to touch his natal magical artifact.
The usually obedient Qingfu suddenly seemed to rebel, its three copper coins shaking violently and clanging together with a metallic sound that made Gu Huai dizzy. She bit her lip, her eyes revealing a fierce determination.
She boasted that she was among the top three in divination in the world and had been a genius since childhood.
Although he is not as skilled in cultivation as his fellow disciples, he is most proficient in divination.
She refused to believe that she couldn't finish this divination today!
With a sudden lunge forward, Gu Huai grabbed the copper coin in his palm and threw it into the tortoise shell.
What used to be an easy swing has now become exceptionally difficult, each swing feeling like it's tearing her body apart.
She knew that this was the will of Heaven rejecting her prying.
But the more this was the case, the more she wanted to see.
Why is the way of Heaven so unjust?
Let's see why our junior brother has to suffer this calamity.
Let's see if the Tianqian Sect can survive this calamity.
The tortoise shell slipped from her hand, and the copper coins scattered. Gu Huai only had time to glance at them before her natal magical artifact turned into spiritual light and scattered in all directions.
Gu Huai felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, causing him to vomit blood, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Heaven won't perish for the Tianqian Sect!
Gu Huai slowly closed his eyes.
