Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

第 313

Since the news of the personal disciple selection only emerged after she and Shen Xun returned to the Star-Picking Tower, it's not necessarily anyone who's anxious about her leaving now.

Sure enough, before Xiao Qingyu could reply, a figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

"I wish you no invitation, but please refrain from going too far in your actions."

It was Gu Yiguan, the second disciple personally taught by Zhaixinglou.

Zhu Wuyao turned around, looked at Senior Sister Gu, and said directly:

"Forget empty talk, how long do you expect me to stay at the Star-Picking Tower?"

Gu Yiguan took a few steps forward, stopping in front of Zhu Wuyao, and spoke just as directly:

"There is unusual activity at the Xiaotian Sect. We need to form a team to investigate within half a month. Once this matter is resolved, you may continue your travels."

Aside from that passive sword strike, all her skills came from the Star-Picking Tower.

Furthermore, Sect Leader Fang and his disciples provided her with considerable assistance.

Over the years, Zhaixinglou has allowed her to travel freely without any restrictions. Having benefited from this, she should repay this kindness.

The task assigned at the foot of the Star-Picking Tower must be accepted.

Zhu Wuyao nodded, sheathed his sword, and asked:

"So, the 'personal disciple' story is a lie?"

Gu Yiguan shook his head and said:

"That's not the case. It should have been within these three months, but the incident with the Xiaotian Sect happened, which was unexpected."

"The matter of appointing a personal disciple depends on the outcome of this trip to the Xiaotian Sect. If things don't go well afterward, it's possible that it will be postponed for a few years."

This is much more reasonable.

If the Star-Picking Pavilion wanted to incite a conflict between her and Shen Xun, there was no need to use the matter of a personal disciple to deceive the entire sect.

"it is good."

Zhu Wuyao nodded and walked forward. As she passed Gu Yiguan, she paused and asked:

Which one will the Star-Picking Tower favor more?

She hadn't expected an answer.

In fact, because of the Star-Picking Pavilion's previous inaction, Zhu Wuyao had already made the worst-case scenario plan.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, Gu Yiguan answered the question:

"have.

"For example, I prefer you."

This sounded more like a private friendship and appreciation, but hearing these words, which were hard to tell if they were true or not, still made Zhu Wuyao smile.

After all, everyone likes to hear nice things.

Xiao Qingyu's expression twisted slightly. This was his courtyard... You two were having such a public and private discussion, completely oblivious to everyone else... And you even so directly stated your preferences...

Do they even respect me, the owner of this yard?

Zhu Wuyao showed him with her actions that there was no such thing.

With the exact time given by Gu Yiguan, Zhu Wuyao decided not to leave the sect anymore. Without even saying goodbye, she carried her luggage back to her small courtyard.

After all, among the direct disciples, if there is anyone who is reliable, it is Senior Sister Gu.

What she said was actually quite accurate.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Before the exact timing of the Xiaotian Sect incident was determined, the Wan Juan Book Review, which had already been separated from the Canglang Anthology and had a different release date, had already sparked heated discussions in the Zhaixing Tower.

Since the excitement surrounding Doraemon subsided, people have developed a fondness for waiting for gossip.

Start following the latest and most interesting news.

They are even more enthusiastic about it than reading book reviews.

Zhu Wuyao arrived at the Teaching Hall early in the morning, a popular spot for gossiping in the morning; while the popular spot for gossiping in the evening was the open space in front of the Star-Picking Tower where one could observe the auspicious purple aura.

To avoid attracting attention, Zhu Wuyao arrived a little late and found a secluded corner.

Normally, even if they carefully used stealth techniques to sneak over, they might still be noticed. But today, everyone was in high spirits and discussing things to their heart's content.

"This book review actually mentions our Star-Picking Tower! Isn't that a bit unserious and childish...?"

"What's so trivial about this? Does it mean that the interesting things in the cultivation world are superior and not allowed to be discussed?"

"Well, the main reason is that we're afraid of tarnishing the image of our Zhaixinglou."

"You're overthinking it! Having someone like Luoye Yaoqiu only makes Zhaixinglou seem more genuine and heroic!"

Zhu Wuyao's popularity has not waned.

After all, during the days she was on the fighting stage, countless fellow disciples watched from the sidelines. As someone who witnessed that battle firsthand, she naturally talked about it with great interest.

What's more -

"The speculations written in these ten thousand book reviews are actually quite reasonable... Perhaps the theft of the goods never happened at all, but Zhu Wuyao couldn't defend himself at the time, so he could only stick to the rumors and reduce the enemies he might face."

"Yes, 'If she had tried to explain herself then, would anyone have believed her? Even if there had been just one person who would have unwaveringly trusted her, perhaps she wouldn't have been driven to this point.' This comment from Wan Juan Book Review... truly resonates deeply!"

fake.

That was something Zhu Wuyao specifically asked Gu Lang to add, to appeal to everyone's emotions.

Leaving aside the others who know the truth, at least Hua Yingting and Xu San'er would believe her, so why is no one else willing to believe her?

It's just not enough.

"Moreover, what the book review says makes sense. Ever since Zhu Wuyao proved his strength, such rumors seem to have really subsided..."

"That's not right!" someone pointed out, noticing the blind spot.

"Have you forgotten? One of my senior sisters had some doubts back then and specifically had a divination performed! And it wasn't just one person who had a divination performed!"

"This……"

"Gentlemen, this book review is quite insightful! It even speculates on this matter, saying that some lies, when broken down, are all true."

"Why does it seem like the book reviews are full of kind words about our Zhaixinglou's Luoye Yaoqiu?"

Nonsense, that's gossip I sold myself, that's press releases I bought!

Of course, I should say a few good words about myself!

Now that she has demonstrated her strength and people are finally willing to listen to her words, and she has a good opportunity to clear her name, why shouldn't she hurry up and defend herself instead of waiting to be scolded again?

"No, the book reviews analyze all sorts of situations. Look at this section—"

"There is another possibility: this person is ambitious, cunning and treacherous. His evil intentions have not only deceived the immortals of Zhaixing Tower, but also the sect leader and elders of Zhaixing Tower. He is a villain who uses this to make a name for himself, cultivate his own power, and gather followers."

"Isn't this absurd? No matter how powerful Zhu Wuyao is, he is only a late Foundation Establishment cultivator. How could he possibly hide it from the sect leader?"

"Moreover, if she really harbors malicious intentions, now that she is gaining momentum, wouldn't it be a good time to consolidate her power? But Zhu Wuyao doesn't seem like someone who is eager for power."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhu Wuyao nodded in agreement.

Yes, that's right, I am a person of high moral character.

Just then, someone sat down next to her and said:

"Oh ho ho, isn't this Junior Sister Zhu?"

It was Song Kezi.

"I knew all along that everything before was just a rumor, a fabrication by people with ulterior motives!"

"Junior Sister Zhu, you've suffered so much from being misunderstood!"

"Now that your injustice has been redressed, you must be overjoyed."
