The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 155 The Light of the Pearl Cannot Be Hidden

Gong Qi had never seen a girl as hateful and deserving of a beating as Lang Jiuchuan, but the other party was quite capable, so he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Take the matter of the evil spirit for example, the divination she made was surprisingly not much different from the one predicted by her young master. And just when he wanted to test how much she knew, she said lightly that she had only learned a little bit and didn't dare to speculate randomly for fear of being laughed at for pretending to know something she didn't.

How can I put it? I’m so angry!
He was the most troublesome and helpless person in the tribe, but in his opinion, Lang Jiu was even worse than him.

"What are you daydreaming about? We should go find the master." Gong Si came to his side at some point and pushed him who was in a daze.

Gong Qi came back to his senses, straightened his face, and said, "I'm afraid what the young master predicted is not accidental."

Gong Si: “?”

Why are you suddenly talking about the young master's abilities? His divination skills are among the best, so this is certainly not a coincidence.

Gong Qi said: "Lang Jiu also made a prediction. I feel that this evil spirit is here to stay and will soon be revealed."

He repeated Lang Jiuchuan's words.

Gong Si's heart tightened, and he said, "We have to send a message to the clan."

Gong Qi nodded and wanted to tell the young master.

Gong Si thought for a moment and asked again: "Should we also report this Miss Langjiu to the clan?"

Gong Qi looked at him with a smile, and said, "Brother, are you going to learn the trick from the other tribes? If you fail to recruit her, you will suppress her or even destroy her cultivation?"

"Xiao Qi, you know that's not what I meant." Gong Si was somewhat helpless and said, "Look at the ability she has shown. It's not inferior to most people in the clan. Maybe even better than you and me. Such talent cannot be hidden."

Gold will always shine, and a pearl covered with dust will always shine once the dust covering it is washed away.

"I know you don't like that. Even though I have selfish ideas and want to recruit talents for the clan, isn't this a form of protection?" Gong Si sighed, "The Gong family has a young master in charge, and he can control those old guys, but they are stubborn. How can they change their self-centered attitude in the past? To put it bluntly, the clan needs fresh blood, people who can recognize the young master's judgment, so that they can have the possibility and confidence to overthrow the shackles."

Gong Qi's expression eased a little.

"She has abilities. If she is noticed by other tribes, will they want to recruit her? If not, what measures will they take?" It will be either suppression or isolation. There are also smart and capable magicians who hide themselves in the world, but what about Lang Jiuchuan?

Gong Si pursed his lips and said, "Miss Langjiu's body is not as weak as it looks, she is really weak. Xiaoqi, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, without a strong body, you will always be dragged down by your physical condition. Our third great-grandfather is a lesson for us. If he had not been weak, how could he have died from the demon poison with his strong cultivation?"

"She is not physically fit. If she is really suppressed by those tribes, how long can she resist? If they fight her one after another like a round of battles, do you think her body will be a burden?" Gong Si said in a deep voice, "Sometimes, human nature is more terrifying. If they can't get it, they will destroy it. You know, some people are really capable of doing that."

Gong Qi said sarcastically: "So it is nothing but self-destruction. Everything that rises must fall. The Xuan Clan is no longer as original as their ancestors, who only practiced Taoism and pacified the evil spirits in the world. Instead, they brought the secular bureaucracy and dignitaries' ways into the clan. It's simply because one of the clan members is the emperor... Hmm."

Gong Si covered his mouth and scolded in a low voice: "You are crazy, you dare to say anything, be careful that the wall has ears."

Gong Qi broke off his hand and said, "Did I say something wrong? Let's not talk about that family. Just look at the three clans of Gong, Feng and Rong. Are they recruiting Taoists and alchemists just like the official family? They are prosperous, but have they caused public outrage? Brother, have you ever thought about where the truly knowledgeable people who escaped the recruitment went, and whether they have any resentment? They hide in the mountains to practice in seclusion, or kill evil spirits and demons, and their merits and cultivation will naturally rise. And what about us, the so-called Xuan clan, who are high above? We only know how to consolidate the status of the Xuan clan and are complacent."

Gong Si was silent. Gong Qi said coldly, "There are always people better than you, and there is one right in front of us. As for Lang Jiu, do you think she learned it by herself? Who knows which hermit master taught her, and how many such hermits there are here? The Xuan clan's disease has begun to eat away at the bones and rot the flesh. If it is not treated, there will be no remains, which will truly destroy the merits and foundations of our ancestors."

"I understand what you mean, but it is undeniable that once she is targeted by the other clans, it will not be a good thing. No, she has been targeted by the Rong family." Gong Si said: "Instead of watching her being abandoned, it is better for her to enter our Gong family first."

"People like her won't be controlled by the Xuan Clan, so there's no need to bother." Gong Qi shook his head and said, "However, even if she doesn't join the Gong Clan, as long as we get along well with her and have close contacts, in the eyes of other clans, she will be a member of our Gong Clan."

This seems to make sense.

"What if someone is shameless?" Gong Si said without giving up.

Gong Qi glared: "Then I will fight them."

Gong Si: "..."

The boy is back to normal now and can get down to business.

"I hope she is the smarter one I imagined, and knows when to hide her weakness, and not to be so ostentatious and wear out her body. Let's go, Master, it's time to finish his meditation."

Gong Qi thought, don't worry, he is more cunning than you, and even better at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger than you!
After they left, he squeezed out from behind the Bodhi tree and returned to Langjiuchuan.

Old Bodhi Tree: The Buddha tree in the ancient temple was actually taken over by a white tiger spirit. How dirty.

Just as Jiang Che was about to tell Lang Jiuchuan what he had overheard, Lang Jiuchuan said that he had seen the whole process through his soul in his mind.

Jiang Che: "No, how can you see what I see through my soul?"

Lang Jiuchuan said, "I'm curious too. After I lit the lamp just now, I felt my soul was more solid. Anyway, I can see it. Maybe it's because of our bond."

"Doesn't this mean that nothing I do in the future can be hidden from your eyes?"

"uh-huh!"

Will click: “!”

It is necessary to find a host, it is necessary. As the Tiger King, is there any privacy left?

"What do you think of what their fellow disciples said?"

Lang Jiuchuan said: "What they said is very pertinent. It seems that the Xuan Clan is indeed seriously ill. The young master of the Gong family is quite interesting and has foresight. I wonder if his power is strong enough to cure the Xuan Clan's illness."

Jiang Che said unhappily, "Who cares if they live or die? I'm talking about you."

Lang Jiuchuan smiled and said, "I said that the Xuan Clan can't trap me. But Gong Si is right. My body is still weak. If I really want to fight with them, a round-robin battle will be enough for me. And Gong Qi is also right. I often interact with them. In the eyes of outsiders, I am considered to be a member of the Gong family. In this case, let's borrow a big tree to provide shade!"

Jiang Che sneered, "If you hadn't overheard people criticizing the Xuan clan's current behavior, I think you would have run faster than anyone else. And you're even using the tree for shade. Crazy people are just hypocritical!"
