Gong Ziqi only learned later about the horrific tragedy that had occurred at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
Later, he was always grateful: his mother was right, fools really do have good luck.
"Oh, it's Senior Brother Gong. Long time no see."
Along with Gong Ziqi, Li Hanyang, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, also appeared.
Li Hanyang has recently developed a good relationship with Gong Ziqi, probably because Qiao Zhiheng had been in seclusion, so he chose to befriend Gong Ziqi.
As for Wei Tu... even if Wei Tu is now the most dazzling disciple in the sect, he can't possibly have any connection with him.
In other words, even if Wei Tu one day becomes the Immortal Emperor of Nan Jianzhou, he will still not be able to gain Li Hanyang's approval!
"Oh, and you too, Senior Brother Li."
That's right, Li Hanyang is a year older than Wei Tu.
"Hmph!"
Li Hanyang snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Gong Ziqi, standing to the side, seemed oblivious to the discord between the two, and instead looked at Wei Tu with a smile.
"Junior Brother Wei, I heard you just returned from the mortal realm. How are you? Is everything alright?"
"If you die in the human world, wouldn't you see ghosts?"
Li Hanyang made a sarcastic remark from the side, which made Gong Ziqi feel slightly embarrassed.
Wei Tu seemed unconcerned and said with a smile.
"Everything is fine. There were a few minor hiccups, but nothing serious."
"Hmph, we handled the trouble in the Zhao Kingdom of the lower realms perfectly well, there wouldn't be any complications..."
“Junior Brother Li, even I know that Junior Brother Wei went to the Shang Kingdom…”
Li Hanyang's face stiffened.
"Well... anyway, it's not far away. We already established the reputation of the Yuanjian Sect disciples, so other petty villains naturally wouldn't dare to come near!"
"Hehe, what Senior Brother Li said is true. I guess the reason I was able to come back safely is because of the outstanding contributions you made."
"Hmph! Good to know! Senior Brother Gong, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Li Hanyang felt that the other party was subtly mocking him, and he was also very embarrassed, since he really didn't have anything worth showing off in front of the other party.
After all, in front of him was: the youngest Dragon Slayer in the Yuanjian Sect, the last person the patriarch received before his death, a young man who, though not a true disciple, was more like one, and even the only two survivors who, together with Bai Youwei, turned the tide in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
Gong Ziqi looked at Wei Tu helplessly.
“Junior Brother Wei, please don’t mind him. Junior Brother Li isn’t a bad person at heart. He’s just used to being arrogant and it’s hard for him to adjust his mindset right away. Besides, you’re younger than him. He doesn’t even respect many of his senior brothers, so it’s no wonder he won’t treat you well.”
Wei Tu was surprised that Gong Ziqi, who seemed dull and honest, would say such understanding things and take the initiative to mediate between the two.
Wei Tu understood all of this, of course. He didn't have any deep hatred for Li Hanyang. It was just that the other party liked to act like a clown in front of him, so there was nothing he could do about it.
“Brother Gong is right. Don’t worry, I didn’t take these things to heart… But you should talk to Brother Li about these things more often, since sometimes it’s the little devils who are the most troublesome, right?”
Gong Ziqi was stunned for a moment, then didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Junior Brother Wei, it's truly rare to see a young man like you. I certainly couldn't be like you. So young, yet so exceptionally talented, and seemingly calm and gentle to others, but in reality, you harbor a hidden sharpness..."
"Wait a minute, Senior Brother Gong, when did you start saying things like this? Isn't this just flattery?"
"Hahaha... I'm just telling the truth... By the way, Junior Brother Wei, I heard you often go to the Scripture Pavilion to read books..."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"There's something I'd like to ask you... How should I put it? I feel like you might find it too absurd and outlandish if I put it this way..."
"Hey, Senior Brother Gong, how would you know if you didn't tell me? But is it something bad?"
Wei Tu had a vague premonition that the other party wouldn't bring up this matter out of the blue, and given Gong Ziqi's personality, it was unlikely that he would lie.
Gong Ziqi looked around and then sighed.
"Alright, Junior Brother Wei, let's talk this over in private when you have more time. It's too complicated to explain here in a short while. Right now, I need to go find Junior Brother Li, so let's stop here for now."
“Alright, if Senior Brother Gong is looking for me, I’ll be at Medicine King Pavilion if I’m not at Little Iris Peak. If you’re at Medicine King Pavilion, you’ll meet a little fox. Just tell her you’re looking for me, but remember to bring some good food.”
"Okay, it's settled then. I have to go now!"
"Okay, goodbye, Senior Brother Gong."
Watching Gong Ziqi leave with a heavy heart, Wei Tu frowned; this was indeed a bad premonition.
Although everyone has their troubles and things they don't understand, Gong Ziqi wouldn't go so far as to ask him about trivial matters for no reason.
As for what it was... and it just so happened to be this rather sensitive time, Wei Tu didn't know. He would only find out the next time he saw Gong Ziqi.
Wei Tu is now looking for other people.
In the schoolhouse halfway up the mountain, many disciples come to listen to lectures, which mainly teach some essential knowledge or additional knowledge for those who cultivate immortality. Some of these are mandatory to listen to, while others are better to listen to than not to listen to, but may be tedious and time-consuming.
Wei Tu stood outside the school. He didn't go in; he just stood quietly next to a tree, patiently waiting.
As the sunlight slanted, it filtered through the dense foliage and fell onto the boy's hair.
The golden light and jet-black hair mingled together, creating a strange and beautiful scene.
The boy stood there quietly, his clothes swaying gently even though there was no wind.
With his eyes slightly closed, he looked like a sleeping sculpture. Mu Xitong had always thought that this young man's appearance was the most outstanding among men in the world. No wonder that when the school gradually became noisy, many disciples who came out and saw this young man would be slightly stunned.
However, they left very quickly. After all, this young man had been in the Yuanjian Sect for so long, who didn't know who he was waiting for here?
As the light shifted, it finally shone on the figures who were chatting and laughing as they walked out of the school.
"Little Orange has gained a lot of weight recently and keeps meowing. I guess he's looking for a mate!"
Qin Shuangshuang smiled at the girl beside her and said that she felt this short period of time was definitely the happiest time of her life.
Without that boy's presence, Qin Shuangshuang felt as if the flowers on Xuejian Peak were blooming just for her. Firstly, this girl would have more time to spend with her.
We can practice together, go to school together, talk about the trivial things in life, and I will also feed the cats together, eat together, and chat about everything.
Actually, Qin Shuangshuang wasn't thinking too much; she was also somewhat conflicted.
After all, it seems that the only flaw left of that despicable boy is that he is too flirtatious and too easy to attract women.
As for his strength... no one in the entire sect doubts his talent or his strength now, and they are even more convinced that this young man is just a prime example of someone who has been accumulating strength for a long time.
She subconsciously didn't want Su Mi to belong to this boy, but every time she was with Su Mi, they would chat happily for the first few sentences, but soon she would hear the girl sigh softly and say something.
"If he were here, he would be laughing his head off..."
Qin Shuangshuang knew that this girl's heart was not so easily cleared.
She will always remember that boy, just as a sunflower always blooms towards the sun.
It's a pity, though. She didn't ask for much; she just wanted to stay with this girl and live together forever.
Eating together, sleeping together, living together, overcoming all difficulties together, and then cultivating together to attain enlightenment... Perhaps to me, this is a very special friend, a friend I have selfish desires for and don't want to be possessed by anyone else.
Perhaps the outcome was unavoidable, but she always thought she could spend more time with this girl, even if it was just for a while. If even she felt that her existence was in the way, then she would quietly disappear. In any case, she didn't want to be disliked by this girl.
Unexpectedly, after coming out, he only said two words.
Then he heard Su Mi laughing and whispering in his ear.
"Don't worry about these things for Xiao Ju. It's Xiao Hua who's been restless lately, running all over the streets. Who knows when she'll run off to another mountain... Hmm, what's wrong with Shuang Shuang?"
Su Mi looked at Qin Shuangshuang strangely as she suddenly stopped talking and stared angrily in one direction with wide eyes.
Qin Shuangshuang saw Wei Tu.
She even saw him smile at her.
That hateful smile—I glared at him, and he just smiled even brighter.
It's absolutely infuriating!
However, Qin Shuangshuang is not an unreasonable person... well, at least not in front of Su Mi.
So she could only turn her head and look at Su Mi in front of her with a helpless expression.
"Look, which girl's long-cherished love has arrived?"
"What did you say...?"
Su Mi paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned her head and saw Wei Tu standing under the green trees.
His eyes and brows were gentle, like the gentle flow of time quietly washing over my heart.
Qin Shuangshuang quietly watched Su Mi's reaction, and then saw Su Mi quickly say to her.
"Shuangshuang, you go back first..."
Then, without hesitation, she turned around and ran towards the boy.
They seemed so eager to get to him that they could hardly stand still.
But she wouldn't fall, because the boy reached out and held her tightly in his arms just as she was about to lose her balance.
Qin Shuangshuang felt a little sour.
But there's nothing I can do... Liking someone is more important than anything else.
That girl… not even nine oxen, not even a god could pull her back. PS: Grand Slam! Grand Slam! To celebrate NAVI's victory, I order each of you to give me a monthly pass. A rich guy, please give me a chance to fight Yan Di (a powerful figure in NAVI's game), thank you!
Senior Brother 51 couldn't hold it in any longer!
The crowd gradually dispersed; naturally, no one wanted to stay here quietly on such a sunny morning and watch them eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
I don't love dogs at all!
So for a moment, only the young boy and girl embracing under the tree were there. They looked like a match made in heaven, so perfect that one could only shake one's head in regret and offer their blessings.
However, these two are not actually that shameless.
At least Su Mi was not.
At this moment, she was struggling in the boy's warm and familiar embrace.
