Before I knew it, I hadn't seen that girl for two years.

Gu Jiu thought that as time went on, he would gradually regard this girl as just a thought.

Now that he had some free time, sitting in this clean-looking courtyard, Gu Jiu found that he still missed the other person very much.

If he could reverse time, he really wanted to go back to that noisy summer.

He was very lazy. Gu Xiaoxiao was still young and they lived in Linshui Town, so there wasn't much to do.

Gu Jiu didn’t know where Gu Xiaoxiao was now, nor did he know whether she was doing well. He just missed her very much during this full moon.

Those ignorant emotions back then were like the faint fragrance of flowers, very pleasant to the touch, but dissipated quickly.

Without Gu Xiaoxiao's home, the New Year's celebrations are not very lively.

Obviously, it's probably even worse.

Because Lian Gu Xing is getting married.

Because of Gu Jiu, Gu Xing achieved a real reversal in his life.

This fully demonstrates the importance of having a good brother.

At this time, Gu Xing was standing under the eaves looking at Gu Jiu.

He had something to say to Gu Jiu, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

After all, Gu Jiu had already brought back his aunt and junior sister. In this world, there are women who can secretly have three husbands and four rooms, but very few men can have three wives and four concubines.

Would telling Gu Jiu these things now only add to his troubles?

Chapter 13: The Talk Is Too Much

After the fifteenth, Gu Jiu should leave.

This most controversial young saint in the Tang Kingdom is now like the center of a storm. Wherever he is, there is some fear.

For example, the Yunshan Sword Sect.

No one knows the specific attitude of Galan City, but from the previous incident where cavalry went to Xinghua Town to cause trouble, it can be seen that their attitude towards Gu Jiu will not be good.

If things don't get better, it means danger, especially for a conservative sect like Yunshan Sword Sect, there are many people in the sect who want to cut off ties with Gu Jiu.

It's better to be prudent and protect yourself.

Therefore, those old guys had some objections to the fact that the sect leader accepted Gu Ningshuang as his personal disciple, but sect leader Wu Xilai naturally saw things further than these old ladies waiting to die.

She only knew that ever since Gu Xiaoxiao became the next World Traveler of the Yunshan Sword Sect and the Gu family came to Yunji Town, they were destined to be inseparable from Gu Jiu.

In the eyes of outsiders, their relationship with Qingliu Academy is even better than that between Qingxi Academy and Amaterasu Sect.

At this time, if you still want to stay out of it and watch the fire from the other side of the river, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a fool's dream.

Practitioners are very afraid of death, especially those who have reached a higher level.

Because spiritual practice is not an easy thing, to reach their level one must pay a lot, but can also gain a lot. No one wants to perish due to some accidents.

These people are too calm and too afraid of death, and want to stay out of any danger. This is also the main reason why there is not enough chivalrous spirit in this world, or that chivalrous spirit only exists in young practitioners.

Wu Xilai is naturally afraid of death, but she is not stupid, and she knows that when danger comes, she cannot hide. The more she hides, the faster she will die. The best way is to face the danger head-on.

So that night, Gu Ningshuang returned home and brought Wu Xilai's letter.

Wu Xilai wants to meet Gu Jiu.

She wanted as few people as possible to know about this meeting, so she changed the meeting time to midnight, not in the mountains, but in Yunji Town.

Gu Jiu was naturally very satisfied with this arrangement, mainly because he didn't have to make the trip in person, which saved him trouble.

That night, Wu Xilai, the leader of the Yunshan Sword Sect, who had not left the mountain for a long time, quietly left the mountain gate. He looked so sneaky that it seemed as if he was going to have an affair.

There is a teahouse in Yunji Town. As it is the end of the year, the teahouse has closed early, but candles are lit tonight.

Gu Jiu and Wu Xilai sat opposite each other in the tea shop, with tea mist rising between them, which looked quite Zen.

As Gu Ningshuang was keeping watch for the two big guys, she did not feel any Zen feeling, but only felt a little cold and nervous.

Gu Jiu has become successful, very successful. Gu Ningshuang never thought that one day she would have to keep watch for her younger brother, just like a little follower following behind the big boss.

As much as she looked down on Gu Jiu when she was a child, she looked just as desolate now with her hair disheveled by the cold wind.

You know what, Gu Ningshuang, who thought she would feel uncomfortable, actually felt it was pretty good.

How many people in this world can be the sister of a saint?

I am your sister at home and you are my uncle outside, that’s okay.

Gu Ningshuang thought so and observed whether there was anyone approaching.

Yunji Town was very quiet at midnight, and almost everyone was asleep.

Wu Xilai took a sip of tea and sighed, "I never thought that what I have been pursuing so hard would appear in a young person like you."

Gu Jiu shrugged and said, "God cares for me, there's nothing I can do. Actually, I prefer to be an ordinary person."

Looking at Gu Jiu's nearly perfect face, Wu Xilai couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Do you know that you deserve a beating for saying this?"

Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's a pity that you can't beat me."

After hearing this, the sect leader couldn't help but feel even more depressed and asked, "Sir, what are your plans for the future?"

Gu Jiu said: "I have a lot of plans, but I have to take it one step at a time. In the long run, I want to make this world a better place. In the short term, I want to make people like you less afraid of death."

Wu Xilai couldn't help but laugh and said, "In fact, sir, the idea of ​​us not being afraid of death is a bit more far-fetched than what you mentioned earlier."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "In this world, anyone who enters the Holy City will die. Why are you so afraid of death?"

Wu Xilai said, "Young Master, there's no need to rush. This is a situation that has accumulated over generations, and it's not easy to change. Do you think a rich young man who's used to enjoying himself would be willing to endure hardship?"

Gu Jiu said, "Don't you think that the more you fear death, the stronger other things will become, until in the end, not to mention enjoying life, even surviving will be difficult? What's the point of lingering on?"

Hearing this, Wu Xilai couldn't help but say: "Sir, someone has said this before."

"Then?"

"They are all dead."

"Why are they all dead?"

"Humans are a species that likes to stick together and don't like those who are different. The same is true in the world of cultivation. And to be honest, sometimes I can't stand them. Their vision is too short, so short that they can only see three feet in front of them. But they like it this way, so what can I do?"

"Then don't you think about the future?"

"The future is too far away."

"Don't you think about your descendants?"

"Most of them have cut off their earthly ties, so how can they have descendants? Even if they do have descendants, they don't care much about blood ties."

Gu Jiu was speechless for a moment and asked, "Who taught you these things?"

"It has been passed down like this from generation to generation. Isn't this how heartless people who practice Taoism are?" Wu Xilai said this calmly, as if he was talking about something very normal.

The time traveler Gu Jiu was puzzled. He knew that these old guys were heartless, but he didn't expect them to be so heartless.

Or in other words, it's possible to be selfish to this extent.

Looking at the silent Gu Jiu, Wu Xilai said, "Young Master, your strength is rare in the world, but even tigers have their naps, so I am here today to tell you not to rush into anything."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "Sect Master, are you afraid of getting into trouble because of me?"

Faced with Gu Jiu's unreasonableness, Wu Xilai did not get angry and said, "Young Master, you misunderstood. I just don't want my friend to get stuck in the mud. Young Master is acting too radically. I'm afraid there will be changes."

At this time, Gu Jiu stood up and said, "After all, it's just that you're afraid of being implicated. There's no need to say it, you and I have different ideas, and it's boring to talk about it."

"But we are still allies after all."

"I don't like an ally like you, and you don't like me either." Gu Jiu's answer was very straightforward.

"What do you mean?" Wu Xilai couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"I want Gu Ningshuang and Gu Xiaoxiao to withdraw from the Yunshan Sword Sect, and the Gu family to leave Yunji Town." Gu Jiu stood there holding a teacup with a cold expression.

Outside the house, Gu Ningshuang was so frightened when she heard these words that she didn't even dare to breathe.

What is Gu Jiu going to do?

Chapter 14 Changes

When Gu Jiu said this, Wu Xilai's expression became extremely serious and he said, "Sir, isn't it too frivolous to act like this?"

Gu Jiu took a sip of tea and said, "Not at all. The Sect Master came to see me in the middle of the night, indicating that he wanted to avoid suspicion. The Sect Master also said that I was too reckless and was afraid of getting into trouble. Qingliu Academy doesn't need such an ally. Since the Sect Master wants to avoid suspicion, why not just avoid it completely and use this to show that he is severing ties with Qingliu Academy? Isn't that exactly what you want?"

After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Wu Xilai fell silent, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

"Sir, are you forcing me?"

Gu Jiu said, "You and I have to be secretive in forming an alliance. If the Sect Master is unwilling to even bear this little pressure, what's the point of this alliance?"

Wu Xilai looked at Gu Jiu, frowning slightly, and said, "I am sorry for being so inconsiderate. Young Master, could you please come to Xilai Peak tomorrow to have a chat? Damn it, let it be turbulent. I think if the Yunshan Sword Sect doesn't take action, it may not survive for more than a few generations."

At this time, Gu Jiu immediately mixed tea for Wu Xilai and raised his glass, saying, "Master, you are wise."

Seeing Gu Jiu's expression change faster than turning the pages of a book, Wu Xilai felt a little annoyed for a moment and couldn't help muttering, "Why do I feel like I've been tricked by you?"

Gu Jiu patted the other person's shoulder and comforted him, "Would I cheat you? I just want to let the Sect Master know that everything has a price. Where can you find such a good thing if you want everything without paying the price?

To be honest, some people are just offended if you don't offend them. If you don't offend them, they will think they are the leader."

Hearing this, Wu Xilai couldn't help but think of the distressed looks on the faces of those old guys, and sighed: "You are talking without any pain in your waist. It's not you who offended them."

"Didn't the Sect Master say that we are all in this together? This is the best opportunity for the Yunshan Sword Sect to flourish."

Wu Xilai raised an eyebrow and said, "It's indeed an opportunity. Having a saint like you who suddenly appeared out of nowhere as an ally is not a loss in any way, but it's almost like playing with fire."

Gu Jiu said, "Is the Sect Master afraid of the one from Galan City?"

"Who in this world isn't afraid of her? Those old guys always say you and that girl have a bad relationship. Is that true?"

Gu Jiu thought about it and said, "Maybe."

After hearing this reply, Wu Xilai's hands couldn't help but tremble, and he really felt like he was on a pirate ship.

Gu Jiu comforted him, "Master, don't worry. Even if that person wants to target me, it won't be that easy. Three thousand Xuanjia soldiers, would I be afraid? She brings several storms with her, would I not run away? In a one-on-one fight, who's afraid of who? Would a man be afraid of a woman in a fight?"

Wu Xilai, a woman, looked at Gu Jiu, her cheeks twitching as she said, "Shouldn't men be afraid of women?"

Gu Jiu waved his hand and said, "I was afraid before, but now that I'm here, this matter has to be put to rest."

Wu Xilai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and said, "As a woman, why do I feel like I've been cheated by you again?"

Gu Jiu patted her shoulder and sighed, "Don't worry. We are all human beings. Can you respect each other more? Before, you beat up men, but now I can beat you up. Have I done anything out of line?"

Wu Xilai's eyes almost fell out. She didn't say anything, but she was thinking silently in her heart: "What happened with Nuyi Tower and Baxueliu Pavilion, you still don't think it's out of line? If this isn't out of line, then if you really do, won't the whole world be turned upside down?"

At this time, Gu Jiu couldn't help but yawn, feeling a little tired.

Wu Xilai couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Since you are tired, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow." Gu Jiu waved and walked out of the tea shop.

Wu Xilai left, and Gu Ningshuang did not follow him. This was Wu Xilai's intention.

She and Gu Jiu walked side by side towards home, and as they walked, she said, "Gu Jiu, you just said that you wanted Xiaoxiao and I to quit the sect, but I was scared to death."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is Yunshan Sword Sect so important to you?"

"It's not a question of importance. You are simply going to make enemies with the Sword Sect by saying that." Gu Ningshuang said.

Gu Jiu shrugged and said, "In the end, there was no resentment, but an alliance was formed."

Gu Ningshuang asked in confusion, "Aren't you afraid of a real falling out?"

"It's not a big deal if we have a falling out. Sis, I, your younger brother, can even pin the female saint of Baxue Liu Pavilion to the ground. Who in your Yunshan Sword Sect is stronger than Liu Wan? Besides, the way I teach you and Xiaoxiao is definitely much better than that guy's teaching." Gu Jiu said lightly.

Almost at the same time, Wu Xilai, who was walking on the mountain path, couldn't help but sneeze several times and wondered, "Is he really old and still afraid of the cold?"

After hearing what Gu Jiu said, Gu Ningshuang was initially unconvinced, but she finally gave in.

Because what Gu Jiu said was true.

However, before entering the Gu family's main gate, she whispered, "Actually, things aren't that simple in the sect. The Sect Master didn't meet you directly because he was worried that the people below might have objections."

Gu Jiu said: "I said, if we can't even suppress this little bit of dissent, then this alliance is meaningless."
