Martial God Development Plan

"It's a pity..." Ji Zhao's focus was a little strange, "But what does it mean to die from bad luck? Am I so unlucky? Can you make it up a little more seriously?"

However, Gu Zhibai laughed and said, "As long as a person doesn't die of old age, then isn't that just a bad luck death?"

This was indeed a heresy, but after Ji Zhao thought about it, he actually didn't know how to refute it, so he could only change the subject.

"It sounds like Miss Gu is a very frank person?"

"Of course." Gu Zhibai had a playful smile on his face. "I have never failed to get anything I wanted, because I faced myself honestly and took action. I never hesitated or hesitated."

Ji Zhao did not respond to this, but said: "We are here, this is the cafeteria."

......

Most people who practice martial arts like to drink.

There is nothing special about this. It is simply because the internal breath impacts the meridians and affects the meridian masters, which causes the practitioner to feel continuously depressed. Alcohol, as an emotional catalyst, can actually alleviate this depression very well. After all, the warrior does not really have any worries. Normal people drink when they encounter worries, and their lives are still a mess after drinking. But after the warrior finishes drinking, he can start a new round of practice.

————Those who practice the authentic Xuanmen skills like those in Zhenwu Mountain have a moderate and peaceful inner breath, and the practitioners are often not emo, so the sect has a prohibition on alcohol. For some demonic sects, alcohol can almost be considered an essential resource for practice, and even alcohol is not enough, so they have to have something more stimulating. If they give up these without interrupting their practice, their temperament will change drastically after a while.

Luohe Pavilion had wiped out countless demon sects in the past and obtained many of their skills, so there was always a lot of fine wine in the pavilion... However, because excessive drinking would affect spiritual practice, the master in the pavilion would also keep an eye on the disciples and not let them drink too much unless there was something worth celebrating.

For example, Ji Zhao escaped death again.

Perhaps it was because Ji Zhao and Gu Zhibai had been soaking in the bathhouse for too long, or perhaps it was because these people had no patience at all, the Luo He disciples inside had already started drinking before the two main characters arrived.

Volume 5: Escape from the Realm: Chapter 43: No, you can’t laugh now…

Gu Zhibai looked normal. People with good martial arts skills would not be surprised by such scenes. She sat down with Ji Zhao, and after being invited to drink some wine, she started talking about what happened that day.

She had some talent as a storyteller, and she told stories in a way that stunned the disciples of Luohe beside her. However, the artistic elements in her stories were a bit high. Anyway, in her stories, Ji Zhao and she had torn apart several tigers and giant bears with their bare hands... With their cultivation, killing tigers and bears was not a problem, but these words coming out of Gu Zhibai's mouth were really exaggerated, such as "the big beast roared, and the leaves of trees within thirty miles fell, and snakes, rats, insects and ants died on the spot" and "the black bear was more than ten feet tall, and with a slap of its paw, it broke the tree in the middle that the two people could not hold together!"

...Anyway, let her talk a little bit as she pleases. Let's not talk about others for now, let's just talk about her family's ancient music. Now that she's drunk, she's stunned by the music.

Ji Zhao took a sip of wine and quickly put down the glass… As a magical skill, Zhao Hongyue did have a certain impact on the practitioner's emotions, but as long as it was not a major defeat, it would not be a big deal. Therefore, Ji Zhao only drank a little bit of wine - besides, he had too many reasons not to get drunk.

"Master Ji doesn't like drinking?" Lie Lian sat down next to Ji Zhao and said softly, "I haven't seen Master Ji drink at many banquets."

Ji Zhao said: "The technique I practice doesn't really require alcohol... I don't like or hate alcohol, but if I get drunk, it will affect the efficiency of my practice, so I usually don't drink too much."

He paused and looked at Lielian: "Have you started practicing internal skills recently?"

There were fluctuations of internal energy around Lie Lian, but they were not too strong. Ji Zhao had read about this internal energy before and knew the formula. Now, based on Lie Lian's internal energy cultivation, she could work backwards and deduce the value of Lie Lian's bone structure. It was probably around twelve or thirteen, an ordinary average person.

"Yes." Lielian nodded lightly, a little embarrassed, "I came to Luohe Pavilion, and I have nothing to do every day, so I practice a little..."

Although Lie Lian was a descendant of a general family, she already had two talented brothers before her. As a girl with ordinary roots and the youngest sister, there was no reason for her to continue practicing. Therefore, when she talked about this matter now, she felt ashamed like a thief... But Ji Zhao was an outsider and didn't know how to read minds, so how could he understand these things? He just felt that Lie Lian's tone was a little weird, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong, did you encounter any problems in your practice?"

"That's not the case." Lie Lian responded, "The masters and fellow disciples in the pavilion are all very kind to me...but I feel that my progress is slow and I feel anxious, especially after meeting that ancient...senior brother."

The progress of ancient music is more than rapid.

Let me put it this way, Nanxue, who has lv6 comprehension and lv7 physique, and whose talent is even better than that of top geniuses like Gu Zhibai and Xiu Yiyin, is only at C-lower level after more than a year of practice. Gu Qu, with lv1 comprehension and lv8 physique, the sum of the two characteristics is far inferior to Nanxue's, but her overall assessment is as high as B-lower level... That's right, judging from the overall assessment, she is one major realm higher than Nanxue, and is on par with the Whip Mace Ghost Liu Wei, a truly first-class master. As for the fact that her performance in actual combat not long ago was far inferior to that of Ji Bei, who was at C-level, all we can say is actual combat is a matter of actual combat. At least in terms of hardware, she has indeed reached this level.

It's no use comparing with anyone else, but comparing with her, who was gifted by God, would be a humiliation to herself. You have to know that Ji Bei, an elite graduate of Luohe Pavilion, was only in the upper third grade when she graduated.

Ji Zhao shook his head and said, "There is only one person with her talent among ten million people. There is no point in comparing with her."

"I understand... I'm just a little anxious." Lie Lian looked at Ji Zhao and said softly, "Isn't it the same for Master Ji? The masters in the pavilion all said that you, Master Ji, are the most dedicated in practicing martial arts."

Ji Zhao smiled and said, "You don't have to learn from me...it's very painful."

This is the truth. Ji Zhao is fine now as he has internal energy to control it. When his meridians were damaged, he went north with Han Gongqiu. He vomited blood every few days and had various health problems from time to time. Fortunately, Hongyue Sanren treated him for a while, otherwise he would have lost a lot of his life every time he practiced internal energy.

Lie Lian suddenly asked, "Why is Master Ji practicing so hard?"

Too many people have asked Ji Zhao this question. Ji Zhao met Lie Lian's eyes and was about to answer when Ji Tan's cold voice came from the side.

"Needless to say, what kind of personality does he have? Hasn't Master Qiu shown him enough? At this point, he will definitely say 'You will understand sooner or later'."

Ji Zhao turned his head and looked. After Ji Tan was exposed by Gu Zhibai, she was on the verge of red fever. Ji Zhao thought she would not come to the banquet, but she came after all. The expression on her little face was a little cold, but there was a bit of panic in the depths of her eyes. After meeting Ji Zhao's eyes, she was even a little shy.

"Look...what are you looking at!" Ji Tan was a little embarrassed and angry, "You...you don't believe what Gu Zhibai said?! If you think so, I will laugh my teeth off!"

Ji Zhao naturally would not be angry with the little girl. He smiled casually and was about to speak when a voice came from the side and interrupted him.

"Girls will become ugly if they lose their teeth."

The three of them looked over and saw Gu Zhibai, who had finished telling his adventure story, carrying a stool and sitting over here very naturally.

Ji Tan was not at all happy with Gu Zhibai. He immediately frowned and said indifferently, "Why, aren't you going to continue your nonsense over there?"

"I heard something interesting." Gu Zhibai didn't care about Ji Tan's attitude at all. She chuckled and looked at Lie Lian, "Miss Lie, do you want to know why Young Master Ji is practicing so hard?"

Lie Lian was slightly startled: "Miss Gu...know?"

"Well, he talked to me about it when we were in Changchun Mountains." Gu Zhibai didn't keep anyone in suspense and revealed the answer directly, "Family, the answer is family... Unlike some guys who are shy, Ji Zhao told me directly that he worked so hard for his family."

Gu Zhibai had a smile on her face and cast her gaze towards Ji Tan, who seemed to be unable to contain her joy but was trying her best to keep a straight face and pretend to be calm... Right now, she was experiencing a trial of holding back laughter that was more severe than that of a god in a certain new world.

"So, I said that before... Although I have no right to say those words, I am the only one who knows the answer. If I don't say it, who will? So, Miss Ji, what do you think now?"

Volume 5: Escape 1: Chapter 44: There will be no result (two in one)

"Hehe... You have some conscience and haven't forgotten your sisters." Ji Tan coughed, then pretended to be natural. His fingers, which had nowhere to put, rolled up his long hair. Ji Zhao saw it. Ji Tan and Gu Zhibai both liked this action.

"Aren't you angry?"

At this moment, Gu Zhibai tilted her head and looked at Ji Zhao in a posture that she thought was very cute and was actually very cute: "I have exposed your secret in front of the person involved."

"There's nothing to be angry about." Ji Zhao said, "When you said something about being frank before, I felt the same way. Besides, there are other reasons not to be angry."

"what?"

Ji Zhao said: "You will understand sooner or later."

The Riddler is late but he's here!

"Haha." Ji Tan, who had recovered, chuckled and put his arm around Ji Zhao's shoulder playfully. "Are you shy? Don't learn from Master Qiu. You said it yourself and never use it carelessly. Why do you suddenly say it now? Could it be that someone has exposed your thoughts, so you are ashamed and angry, and you have to pretend to be calm and say this? This is not good~~~"

[“Isn’t this just self-destruction…?”]

Ji Zhao secretly complained in his heart that the person who thought this should be Ji Tan. This woman is now taking the opportunity to throw so many blames on him.

However, Ji Tan's mood was changeable, and it was rare to see her in a good mood. Ji Zhao did not want to break it, so he just smiled and did not expose her. He just smiled and said, "Second sister, you are the same. If you are destined, you will understand sooner or later."

"Tsk..." Ji Tan was obviously not satisfied with Ji Zhao's attitude, but at this moment, she couldn't grab Ji Zhao's face and say something like "Be a little shy". She smacked her lips and retracted her arm, but the joy in her eyes lingered for a long time.

Seeing Ji Tan like this, Ji Zhao's heart was filled with dark emotions... When he was in Changchun Mountains, he told Gu Zhibai that he hated betrayal, but the funny thing was that he was the biggest betrayer in the world, family, friends, partner, elders... In order not to betray himself, he had to betray everyone.

He thought he should be prepared for this, but...

【“…”】

Ji Zhao picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He suddenly missed Liu Qing and hoped to hear his story... Ji Zhao did not give Liu Qing this opportunity at the beginning. Liu Qing was neither angry nor annoyed at that time. He accepted it silently. Perhaps it was because he knew that Ji Zhao would have to bear the final bitter fruit. Now Ji Zhao no longer has this opportunity. He has lost the only person in the world who can understand him. The huge sense of loneliness almost swallowed him. In this noisy environment, Ji Zhao's heart became even colder and silent.

"What's wrong......?"

At this moment, Ji Tan's soft cry sounded in her ears. She looked at Ji Zhao steadily and said, "I always feel that you seem to be very sad."

"That's not the case." Ji Zhao was very sure that he didn't show any strange expression just now. With his current cultivation level, he wouldn't make such a mistake. He immediately forced a smile on his face and asked, "Why did Second Sister say that?"

"... a strange feeling." Ji Tan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It felt like you were about to leave me just now... to a very far place."

These words were really cheesy. After Ji Tan said them, he felt extremely embarrassed and immediately waved his hands in panic: "Forget it! Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Ji Zhao smiled slightly and did not respond. He spent the night in the revelry of Luo He's disciples.

------

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In the female disciples' dormitory, Ji Tan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The repeated tossing and turning soon angered Ji Bei, who already had a bad temper.

"Be quiet!" Ji Bei said in a low voice, "Sleep well if you want to!"

"I can't sleep!" Ji Tan probably thought that Ji Bei would never get up and beat her up in the middle of the night, so she was quite tough for a moment, "Sister, don't you think there's something wrong with Gu Zhibai?"

Ji Bei was too lazy to open his eyes, just thinking that his sister was going crazy again: "What's wrong? Isn't Miss Gu very normal?"

Ji Tan turned over again and faced Ji Bei: "Big sister, didn't you feel that the two of them were flirting with each other today... I feel that they might have done something dirty and shameful in the Changchun Mountains! Isn't it written like this in those storybooks, a man and a woman in distress, supporting each other and falling in love with each other or something like that."

After a slight pause, Ji Tan continued, "Of course, as a sister, this matter has nothing to do with me, but Miss Lie Lian is a good-tempered person, and I'm afraid she will suffer this loss without saying a word!"

"Why didn't I think you had such a good relationship with Miss Lielian before? You even considered her..." Ji Bei frowned, and finally opened his eyes. He turned over and looked at Ji Tan, saying, "I've told you a long time ago to watch less messy things... It's true that in times of crisis, it's easier for men and women to secretly fall in love, but the two of them came from the Changchun Mountains... Do you know what that place is? To put it bluntly, they lived like savages at the time, let alone secretly falling in love. In my opinion, that period of time completely wiped out all their fantasies about each other as the opposite sex."

Ji Bei had some experience in surviving in the wild, and he also knew what the Changchun Mountains were like, so he made this conclusion. However, Ji Tan was a little skeptical. She said suspiciously, "That's not right... Even if we didn't feel good at the time, we've lived together for so long, so our relationship must have improved. When we get out of the Changchun Mountains, and dress up a little, the contrast with before will be even more stunning. Although I'm not happy, I have to admit that Gu Zhibai is a rare beauty in the whole world, just like me."

Ji Bei was already very sleepy at this time, so he went straight to the point: "So, do you think Ming Hui likes Miss Gu?"

".....Maybe, perhaps, possibly, I'm not sure." Ji Tan paused, and added, "It may be that Gu Zhibai is interested in him."

"Then why don't you just ask him." Ji Bei said suddenly, "It's useless to worry about it. If you want to know, why don't you just ask him directly?"

"What...?!" Ji Tan was stunned, and then a little angry. She kicked the bed a few times with her snow-white feet, making it thump. "Sister, are you stupid? How can you ask such a thing?"

"Why can't you ask?" Ji Bei asked back, "No matter how many guesses you make, how much evidence you find, or how many speculations you make, before you get his answer, everything is unknown..."

Ji Tan said angrily: "You won't understand even if I tell you, big sister. Anyway, I won't ask, and big sister, you are not allowed to ask!"

"It's inexplicable..." Ji Bei sighed and closed his eyes. "It's not impossible for him to like Miss Gu. After all, Miss Gu is really beautiful, and Minghui is just the right age for her. Moreover, Minghui has been practicing hard, so he must like a martial artist like Miss Gu more."

Ji Tan's face changed when she heard that, but before she could say anything, Ji Bei's voice rang out.

"But... it's just an insignificant matter." Her tone was a little cold and ruthless. "Minghui is sensible. He has already made an engagement with Miss Lielian. This engagement was made by the Marquis of Weiwu, General Lieyu Feilie. He is marrying above his station. He can't disobey this engagement. So, even if he really likes Miss Shanggu, it doesn't matter, because he will definitely suppress that emotion... It's the same for everyone. No matter who he likes, it won't work out."

"If you understand, go to sleep."

After the voice fell, Ji Bei turned over and stopped talking to Ji Tan.

Ji Tan stared at the roof in a daze.

"Everyone is... the same."

------

The next day, morning.

"Good morning." Ji Zhao and Nan Xue greeted each other. Both of them maintained a pretty good schedule and got up at about the same time.

Nan Xue responded, and the two of them washed up and went to the cafeteria together. Halfway through their meal, they saw Ji Bei dragging the sleepy Ji Tan to the cafeteria. Two minutes later, Gu Zhibai also arrived.

"Miss Gu." Ji Bei called out, "I wanted to wake you up, but I thought you might not have gotten enough sleep, so I didn't call you... Do you want to come and eat with us?"

Ji Tan, who was standing by, could hardly open his eyes, and he grumbled viciously, "You know that others haven't gotten enough sleep..."

"Thank you." Gu Zhibai was not polite and sat at Ji Bei's table. While eating, he said, "I have heard of the reputation of Mount Tai and Luo River for a long time. Now that I am here, I also want to take a look around. However, I am not familiar with the terrain and buildings in the pavilion..."

"Let me lead the way for Miss Gu." Ji Zhao on the side spoke at this time. This could be regarded as his promise to Gu Zhibai... Of course, there were more reasons than that.

Ji Zhao never forgot that Gu Zhibai was a peaceful person. As the saying goes, one should always be on guard against others. Ji Zhao was also worried that Gu Zhibai entered Luohe Pavilion in order to steal some top-secret information... Although the possibility was very low, he still had to be on guard. After all, he was the one who brought this person in, and it was reasonable for him to keep an eye on him.

However, to others, the meaning is a little different... Who is Ji Zhao? He is the King of Luohe Pavilion, a man who practices martial arts to the point of vomiting blood, and races against time every day, never wasting a moment. But now, he actually offers to be a tour guide for someone?

The intention is so obvious that it is comparable to the gender of ancient music!

"Haha..." Ji Tan sneered, "You are so proactive, Ji Minghui. Normally, I can't get you to do anything. No matter what I ask you to do, you always push it back with the words 'I want to practice'. Why are you so proactive now?"

Ji Zhao naturally couldn't say that Gu Zhibai was a born evil Ningren ghost. He wanted to see the other party with his own eyes, so he had to say: "She is a guest from afar. She doesn't know anyone else in Luohe Pavilion. I have to entertain her."

Ji Tan sneered twice, but under the pressure of Ji Bei, she didn't say anything more. Unlike Ji Zhao who always tolerated her and laughed it off no matter what happened, Ji Bei had practiced martial arts and became half insane. If she made Ji Tan angry, she would really spank Ji Tan.

Therefore, Ji Tan ate something in a hurry, said "I'm full" and left the table.

After leaving the cafeteria, Ji Tan returned to the female disciples' dormitory and went straight to Lie Lian's room.

"Miss Lie!"

Lie Lian had just finished washing up and was about to go out. When she saw Ji Tan, she smiled and said, "Miss Ji, what can I do for you?"

"I have something to tell you!" Ji Tan pulled Lie Lian aside and told her what had just happened. "My brother volunteered to be Gu Zhibai's tour guide. After thinking about it, I think I should inform you about this matter."

"Well...thank you Miss Ji." Lielian bowed gracefully, still smiling, "I understand. Is there anything else?"

"......If it's something, then it's really nothing." Seeing Lie Lian's reaction, Ji Tan was a little dissatisfied. "Aren't you going to do something? Although he is my brother, I won't cover up for him in this matter. They were alone in Changchun Mountains before, and they still can't do anything about it. Miss Lie, do you think it's appropriate?"

"I think there's nothing inappropriate about it." Compared to the somewhat impatient Ji Tan, Lie Lian seemed very calm. "Miss Gu doesn't have any other acquaintances in Luohe Pavilion, so it's reasonable to ask Master Ji to accompany her. If someone else were to go, it would be very awkward. As for the difference between men and women, they are just touring Mount Daizong. To be honest, Miss Ji, you study medicine on weekdays, and it's even more inappropriate for you to ask Master Ji to accompany you and touch you here and there, isn't it?"

Perhaps he had heard the unusual meaning in the second half of Lielian's words, Ji Tan defended himself in a low voice: "Doctors don't distinguish between men and women."

Lielian was still smiling: "Then, Miss Ji, why don't you go find other male disciples?"

"...Unfamiliar, awkward."

"Haha, let's just take it as it is." Lielian showed an unusual smile on her face, "If Miss Ji is fine, I will leave."

Ji Tan was silent for several breaths, and then he squeezed out a few words from his throat: "...You really don't care about them?"

"Ah."

"Do you think it's okay to continue like this?"
