Martial God Development Plan

"Ah."

"you----"

This time, Ji Tan was interrupted by Lie Lian before he could finish his words.

"Miss Ji," she said, "I've already said that I don't care. Now, the one who really cares about this is you... Yesterday, Miss Gu said that Master Ji worked so hard to protect his family. It can be said that his family is the most important people in his heart. I can see that you were very happy at that time, but you also know that nothing is forever... You are afraid that Miss Gu might replace you and become the most important person in Master Ji's heart."

Volume 5: Escape 1: Chapter 45: You Are Not Suitable

If there is any special building in Luohe Pavilion that is open to outsiders, it must be Fengya Tower. Unlike the Sutra Repository, there is nothing particularly important here that would be troublesome if seen by outsiders. It can also allow visitors to appreciate the artistic essence of Luohe Pavilion over the years. Therefore, Ji Zhao chose Fengya Tower as his first stop.

"Are these the works of Luo He's disciples?"

After entering Fengya Tower, what caught Gu Zhibai's eyes were the various paintings framed on the walls. She glanced around with interest and asked Ji Zhao questions.

"Yes." Ji Zhao responded, "However, some works that the disciples are more satisfied with will be displayed on the first floor like this, and then they will be replaced after a period of time. If a certain painting has been kept here for a long time and everyone thinks it is a pity to replace it, it will be moved to the display stand on the second floor. That is where the more essential works of art of Luohe Pavilion over the past hundred years are displayed."

"The disciples of Luohe are very accomplished in painting. As expected of a sect founded by Lord Wu'an, they are quite elegant..." Gu Zhibai didn't know the art of painting, but he had a certain appreciation of it. He also teased Ji Zhao, "But why doesn't young hero Ji know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting?"

Because there were other Luohe disciples around, Ji Zhao couldn't say anything else, so he gave the most official answer: "Luohe Pavilion has wiped out countless demon sects, so most of the skills in the Sutra Library are demon skills, which will affect the emotions of practitioners. So normal disciples need to practice the four arts to cultivate their bodies and minds, but the skills I practice are special, so I don't need to learn these."

"What a boring answer." Gu Zhibai was obviously not satisfied with Ji Zhao's response. Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye. "What is this...?"

She stopped in front of a painting, Ji Zhao looked up and saw that it was the picture of a fairy couple that Fu Caige had painted for him and Ji Tan a year ago.

[“It’s been left here for so long…”]

Ji Zhao took a step forward and walked to Gu Zhibai.

"What's wrong? Are you concerned about this painting?"

"Hmm..." Gu Zhibai held his right hand with his left hand, and placed his right hand under his chin, "This is a copy of the immortal couple by the former master Jiang Yongyue... This back view looks like you."

"You have a good eye." Ji Zhao said, "I was the model at that time."

"Then, this person is Miss Lie?" Gu Zhibai was naturally not as familiar with Ji Tan as he was with Ji Zhao. When he saw a woman next to Ji Zhao, he mistook her for Lie Lian.

"No." Ji Zhao said, "It's my second sister."

"......?" Gu Zhibai was a little surprised. "You are my second sister, how could that be? Generally speaking, Miss Lielian is more suitable."

Ji Zhao explained: "When I painted this picture, Miss Lielian had not yet entered the cabinet, and I had not yet made an engagement with her."

"I see..." Gu Zhibai nodded, "That's what I said, otherwise it would be too inappropriate."

"There's something inappropriate."

As soon as her voice fell, a very calm voice was heard from the side. There were only two people in the entire Luohe Pavilion who could speak such a calm voice. One was the gun and stick master Xuan Tianlie, and the other was Fu Caige, a peerless beauty who was listed in the beauty list and whose doorstep was almost broken down by suitors.

The one who came now was naturally the latter... He looked calm and spoke as usual: "I think it's a good match, so I asked them to come. Do you have any advice?"

Gu Zhibai showed a very friendly business smile on her face. Ji Zhao had been with her for such a long time, so he could naturally see that.

"What a beautiful girl... In Luohe Pavilion, there is such a pretty girl. I think she must be Miss Fu from the Golden Sword Sect. Is this painting your work?"

Fu Caige nodded.

Gu Zhibai said, "I know nothing about the art of painting, so I dare not say whether it is appropriate or not. However, in this picture of a couple of gods and goddesses, with their fingers crossed, I personally think that if Young Master Ji's fiancée, Miss Lielian, is here, it would not be appropriate for others to come."

Fu Caige said, "They are brother and sister."

She always spoke like this, relying on the audience to fill in the missing content in their own minds. Fortunately, Gu Zhibai quickly understood and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, girls avoid their fathers when they grow up, and boys avoid their mothers when they grow up. This is the case even when they are several dozen years apart in age, not to mention that Young Master Ji and Miss Ji are just siblings."

Gu Zhibai paused and originally wanted to say that these two were not biological children, but she was smart and felt that although this remark was highly offensive, it seemed somewhat inappropriate. Moreover, the disciples of Luohe Pavilion might not know that Ji Zhao was not his biological child. If she said this out, Ji Zhao would have a hard time in Luohe Pavilion in the future. So she swallowed it back.

Fu Caige pondered for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to refute Gu Zhibai, but after several breaths, she couldn't think of the right words... After all, as far as this matter is concerned, Lie Lian is indeed much more suitable than Ji Tan.

Gu Zhibai thought she had won and was about to ask Ji Zhao to leave, but as soon as she took a step, Fu Caige's voice rang out.

"...But it matches well."

Gu Zhibai paused for a moment: "Very suitable, you mean...?"

Fu Caige still had no expression on his face, and said calmly: "When the two of them are together, there is a very harmonious feeling. The others are too far behind."

"Eh..." Gu Zhibai stretched out her voice, smiling playfully, "Has Miss Fu ever looked for someone else? For example, Miss Lie."

"No, but I can tell at a glance whether it's suitable or not." Fu Caige responded, "This is my intuition as a painter."

Gu Zhibai asked: "Miss Lie is not suitable?"

Hearing this, Ji Zhao felt that it was a bit inappropriate. This statement was indeed quite misleading and could easily be misunderstood. He wanted to interrupt the conversation immediately. However, Fu Caige was extremely stubborn and his emotional intelligence was a bit exaggerated. He nodded calmly to show his approval.

"Yes, it's inappropriate."

The smile on Gu Zhibai's face became even wider. She turned around and spun around, her graceful figure showing off her beauty. "So, what do you think of me, Miss Fu?"

Fu Caige's tone remained unchanged.

"Not suitable."

"..."

This was an answer that did not surprise Gu Zhibai, but when she heard it, she was still somewhat unhappy. She spread her hands and smiled naturally, "Senior Sister Fu, I will follow your words, but regarding Miss Lie, I advise you to say less. If someone hears it, I'm afraid there will be trouble... Don't say this carelessly, don't say I didn't warn you."

Volume 5: Escape 1: Chapter 46: Hug

After leaving Fengya Tower, Ji Zhao took Gu Zhibai for a walk in Luohe Pavilion, and then at Gu Zhibai's reminder, he took her to the most beautiful scenic spot on Mount Daizong, Cangyun Peak.

Cangyun Peak is located at the highest point of the back mountain of Mount Tai. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The mountains in the distance are looming and ethereal. Any screenshot taken here can be used as a promotional picture for a game. Anyone who comes here will be shocked by the absolute beauty of this place.

Gu Zhibai was naturally no exception.

"No wonder Lord Wu'an wanted to build Luohe Pavilion here..." She sighed softly, "I guess he chose this place after visiting many famous mountains and rivers, and even left his hometown Wangzhou for this."

It is not known whether Feng Shui really exists, but most of the top warriors are born in Wangzhou, and Wei Huo is no exception. According to custom, if a warrior wants to establish a school, he usually chooses his hometown. As the saying goes, rich and powerful, it is like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes. This is the reason. Unless one's reputation is too bad, there is definitely no reason to return to one's hometown. Wei Huo, as a perfect man throughout the ages, the perfect embodiment of a minister in the feudal era, and a moral role model, naturally would not have problems with fame. However, he did not establish a school in his hometown, but chose to come to Lizhou to establish Luohe Pavilion. This is also a big mystery.

"I have a friend who said the sunrise at Zhenwu Mountain is very beautiful, so he stayed there and became a Taoist priest." Ji Zhao smiled, "At the time, I thought that he must have never seen the sunset at Cangyun Peak, so he really lost out by becoming a Taoist priest."

Hearing this, Gu Zhibai couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yes... And if you become a Taoist priest, you won't be able to marry and have children."

Whether a Taoist priest can marry and have children actually depends on the specific Taoist sect and its rules. Zhenwu Mountain actually allows disciples to marry and have children, but it is normal for normal people not to know these things. For example, if Ji Zhao had not talked with Han Shou before, he would probably think that Zhenwu Mountain does not allow disciples to marry and have children.

Ji Zhao couldn't help but smile when he thought of Han Shou. Although they didn't have much contact and had only spoken less than 200 sentences and spent less than four hours together, he felt that he was his first friend in this world and the one who suited him best. He immediately said, "Even if he can't marry and have children, that guy won't mind, right?"

Gu Zhibai said: "It sounds like Young Master Ji has a good relationship with that friend?"

Ji Zhao said: "Yes, a life-long friend."

Gu Zhibai felt a little jealous for some reason, so she asked, "Then, how about this little girl who fled to Changchun Mountains with Young Master Ji?"

This sudden question of "Save me first or your mother first" made Ji Zhao stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing. To be honest, it was the first time he heard someone ask such a question. He didn't feel offended at all, but instead found it a little funny.

"...What, what happened?" Gu Zhibai naturally didn't know that such a question had become an old joke in Ji Zhao's world. Seeing Ji Zhao suddenly laugh, she was a little at a loss, "What's so funny about this?"

"Nothing." Ji Zhao didn't say anything like 'You will understand sooner or later' this time. Instead, he smiled and said, "I was just thinking about how I should answer your question."

Gu Zhibai's attention was indeed diverted, and he looked at Ji Zhao with some expectation and frustration.

Ji Zhao turned around and looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, his thoughts surging.

Finally, he said softly: "If one day I was told to challenge a formidable enemy and to find an absolutely reliable teammate, I would choose him."

"Young Master Ji, what do you mean by this..." Hearing this, Gu Zhibai felt very disappointed, but she didn't want to show it, so she pretended that this was a joke, and she was very dissatisfied, and smiled and patted Ji Zhao, "Do you think I'm unreliable?"

"No." Ji Zhao rarely avoided Gu Zhibai's attack, but said, "On the same day, I was told that I was poisoned without knowing it, and I only had one day left to live. If on that day, only one friend could stay by my side... then, I hope that person is you."

Gu Zhibai couldn't help but curl her lips. She bit her lips slightly and chuckled, "Didn't Young Master Ji use this kind of rhetoric to deceive many girls?"

Ji Zhao said: "That's not the case. I only told you that."

Gu Zhibai blinked her eyes and acted pitiful: "So you are only lying to me, a little girl?"

"Let's just take it as it is."

Gu Zhibai was a little bit unwilling to give in: "Then, if we remove the restriction of friends and include family members, will you choose me too?"

"I will choose you too." To Gu Zhibai's surprise, Ji Zhao answered her without hesitation.

This surprised Gu Zhibai very much. She thought Ji Zhao would hesitate for a while. After all, he valued his family so much.

With their current life-or-death friendship, as long as it does not involve the core issue, there is no need to hide many questions. Gu Zhibai asked directly: "Why are you answering so decisively?"

Ji Zhao said: "I just think that there is no need to make them sad a second time."

Ji Zhao meant that before he died, he might tell his deepest secret. In that case, Ji Bei and Ji Tan would know that their brother had already died. This was really unnecessary. As for what Gu Zhibai would mean by that, he didn't know. However, if Gu Zhibai continued to ask, he would be happy to give the other party one of his catchphrases.

But Gu Zhibai did not ask any more questions. She looked at Ji Zhao, suddenly smiled and said, "Ji Zhao, I like it here very much."

This sentence was incomprehensible and had no beginning or end, but Ji Zhao was already used to Gu Zhibai talking like this, so he followed her meaning and said, "Because this place is beautiful?"

"No." Gu Zhibai said, "Guess again."

Ji Zhao then said, "Because I said here that I want to see you before I die."

"Not really." Gu Zhibai smiled innocently, and urged in a coquettish manner, "Guess again."

"I can't guess." Ji Zhao surrendered, "Tell me the answer."

Gu Zhibai slowly restrained the smile on her face. She stared at Ji Zhao in a daze, and suddenly took a step forward, almost face to face with Ji Zhao.

"Because..." she whispered, "this is a cliff."

"Cliff......?" Ji Zhao was startled, "What's wrong with the cliff?"

"I like cliffs all over the world." Gu Zhibai looked at Ji Zhao steadily. The voice was ethereal and made people feel as if they were in a dream.

"Because, every time I see the cliff, I wonder if you will suddenly rush over and hug me."

Volume 5: The Escape of Man: Chapter 47: The Outsider

"..."

Ji Zhao was not a fool, how could he not hear that Gu Zhibai's words could be regarded as a very passionate confession. However, he could not respond to anyone, not even Lie Lian, let alone Gu Zhibai. The affairs of family and country were already beyond his reach, not to mention that there was more than just family and country between them.

So, Ji Zhao pretended to be slow and smiled naturally: "It's hard to say about other cliffs, maybe there are lower ones, but if we jump from this Cangyun Peak, we will all die, so... we'd better not like it."

That's right...you'll die, so don't like it.

However, Gu Zhibai did not back down. She raised her voice slightly, her eyes fixed on Ji Zhao: "Well, as long as you have a higher level of cultivation, it will be fine... Besides, there are many other cliffs in the world besides Cangyun Peak."

Ji Zhao said: "But we are on Cangyun Peak now."

Gu Zhibai stared at Ji Zhao and didn't say anything like "Are you going to stay on Cangyun Peak for your whole life?", because she knew that the point at the moment was not this at all, and there was no point in arguing, so she suddenly smiled, revealing a confident and contagious smile that almost never appeared on her face.

“There is nothing I cannot get.”

......

Gu Zhibai left. After leaving those words for Ji Zhao, she disappeared without saying goodbye to anyone or letting anyone know her whereabouts. However, Ji Zhao did not feel too much of a loss in his heart. He somewhat understood what Han Shou had said.

"I believe that our fate will not be so bad. See you later."

That’s right...see you later, we will definitely see each other again, even though it is a bad fate.

Ji Zhao returned to his daily life...It is worth mentioning that, because Huo Shuizhu was seriously injured by the Xingdou Sect, the pavilion could not find a swordsman master for a while, so the Thief Saint Xiaoyaofeng came forward, gave Ji Bei some pointers, and taught her a set of secret swordsmanship of the Luohe Pavilion. The effects of these two actions were quite obvious. Ji Bei's comprehensive assessment almost immediately rose to B-low, and she became a truly first-class master - her first-class level is not like Gu Qu, who is so fat that she can be defeated by Nan Xue who is a whole level higher if she is not careful.

————I can only say that in this game’s evaluation system, internal energy accounts for too large a proportion.

What happened afterwards was not difficult to predict. Xiaoyao Feng found a time to announce that Ji Bei would temporarily take over the position of swordsmanship master in the pavilion... However, it seemed that God was against the disciples who were learning swordsmanship in the pavilion.

In late February, Ji Bei received a letter from an old friend in Anchun County...Wang An died without any accident, he died of old age.

At Wang An's age, it doesn't seem like a happy funeral, but in such a chaotic world, being able to die peacefully is a blessing.

Ji Bei had to ask Xiao Yaofeng for leave and return to his hometown to preside over the funeral... Speaking of which, Wang An was the last old man in the Ji family. Although he was nominally a servant, after so many years of getting along with him, he was no different from a family member. When he died, one person would definitely have to go back to the Ji family.

Needless to say, Ji Tan couldn't go at all. As for Ji Zhao, except for the time when he followed Liu Hanying, who had invincibility written all over her body, there were disasters every time he went out. Ji Bei naturally wouldn't let him go, so she had to go back.

Although Xiaoyao Feng was a little distressed, it was impossible for him to refuse such leave, so he could only agree to Ji Bei's departure... Qingzhou and Lizhou are very far away from each other, and if he leaves, he probably won't be able to come back before the end of summer school.

Ji Zhao and Ji Tan went to see Ji Bei off. Ji Zhao was a little worried about his adopted elder sister, whose personality became like the reincarnation of a flat-headed fox due to her martial arts. He wanted to give her the Order of Wu for protection. However, the thing had disappeared in the river because of the pursuit by Dong Taoist's brother. Therefore, he could only remind her not to cause trouble when she was outside and not to fight hard against a strong enemy but to go back to the pavilion to ask for help.

After hearing these words, Ji Bei couldn't help but knock on Ji Zhao's head.

"If others hear this, they might think you are my brother...Okay, I understand. You should practice well. I am leaving now."

After saying this, he left with the knife.

Ji Zhao stared at Ji Bei's back, his heart moved slightly, and a mysterious feeling surged up.

"This is......?"

[Ji Zhao realizes 'The Outsider (1/4)']
