Lu Sangjiu was stunned, she thought that Gu Jue might not be in a good state, but she never thought that he would retire directly.

As the male protagonist, even if he is injured, he should be able to kill everyone.

Could it be that... Gu Jue's halo as a male protagonist is gone?

Lu Sangjiu was certain that the book he saw was written with Ye Zhiyao as the protagonist. Although Gu Jue was the male protagonist, everything was still focused on serving Ye Zhiyao.

So if Gu Jue and Ye Zhiyao no longer like each other, is it equivalent to breaking away from the setting of the hero, and there will be no halo of the hero anymore?

Although it was just a guess, Lu Sangjiu had a vague hunch that this was the truth.

So she couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards Gu Jue... He has been helping her all the time, and no matter what her original intention was about the halo of the male lead, it always made him lose some convenience.

What's more, she always felt that Gu Jue showed no mercy to Yi Ze that day, and he was probably venting his anger on her.

In short, she owed Gu Jue more or less in this matter.

Although I have decided to keep a certain distance from Gu Jue, even as friends, we cannot ignore him at this time.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Sangjiu finally decided to visit Gu Jue, which felt at ease.

But she didn't plan to go by herself, but contacted Chi Yan and Feng Lin.

Everyone has been in contact with each other since they were in Qingyu Secret Realm, and Chi Yan and Gu Jue are more familiar, so calling them to go with them is just a friend's visit, there must be no misunderstanding, right?

However, both of them are relatively advanced in the ring competition, so they can only go after the competition is over.

Lu Sangjiu simply went to the Jindan group competition venue and waited to watch the competition between the two people.

Among those eliminated in the first round of competition, there will inevitably be some who are pretty good but not very lucky.

Like Yan Zui, or Yi Ze.

But such people are in the minority, and they all have a chance to win the top three. This is the only chance to regain the spot, so we must pay more attention to it.

Therefore, such a person generally would not act rashly, but would watch other people challenge first, observe the strength of the opponent, and only make a move if he is sure that he can win.

Although Feng Lin and Chi Yan have never shown their full strength, they are definitely not weak among those who advance.

As a result, the two of them did not encounter strong opponents in the ring battle, and easily defended for five rounds, gaining a spot to enter the next round of competition.

After the game was over, the three of them immediately went to the other courtyard where Gu Jue lived without any further delay.

This time, there was no need to sneak around, and the three of them came to Gu Jue's courtyard unimpeded all the way after a report from the disciples of the Gold and Silver Sect.

Gu Jue was already able to go to the ground, but he seemed to be in poor spirits, and his face was slightly pale. He looked sick at a glance.

Jian Bugui went to the venue, and he was the only one in this huge courtyard.

But when he saw Lu Sangjiu and the others coming, he was obviously very happy, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Have you finished the competition?"

Chi Yan nodded carelessly, "Fellow Daoist Feng and I have finished competing, and Fairy Lu will be a little later."

Gu Jue looked at Lu Sangjiu, "...I promised to watch your match that day, but unfortunately I couldn't keep the promise. I will definitely go today."

Lu Sangjiu dared to let him wander around again, and waved his hands hastily, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, my game is not exciting at all, it's not interesting. You'd better take good care of your body."

After a pause, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you seriously injured?"

Gu Jue shook his head, "Originally it wasn't too heavy, but yesterday the Master was away and the people from the Beast Control Sect came, and I rescued them... then it became serious again."

He used the immortal weapon forcibly before, so that his body was damaged. At this time, it is best to cultivate well.

The elixir used was very good, and after taking it for a day or two, it would be fine, but yesterday he had a hand with someone again, so it cannot be recovered in a day or two.

Lu Sangjiu couldn't help but frown, "The Beast Control Sect came to trouble you, didn't the people from the Gold and Silver Sect come forward?"

Gu Jue shook his head, "After all, it's my personal grudge. It's not easy for the Gold and Silver Sect to get involved."

After a pause, he added, "Although it's a little serious, it won't be a serious problem after a few more days. You don't have to worry too much."

Lu Sangjiu wasn't worried, he just felt guilty... Otherwise, with Gu Jue's strength, he would definitely shine in the sword seizing competition.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, she was silent for a moment before remembering to ask, "By the way, where is Liu Xi? It seems that I haven't seen her for the past two days."

Mentioning Liu Xi, Gu Jue's face darkened, feeling helpless and worried, "After the quarrel with me that day, Junior Sister sent a message to Master saying that she wanted to go out to relax alone and left Muxian Town."

"Neither Master nor I could contact her after that, and I don't know where she went... She basically never traveled far alone, and I was really worried."

"I chose to withdraw from the competition this time. In addition to physical reasons, I also wanted to recover from my injuries as soon as possible and go out to look for her to avoid any accidents."

Lu Sangjiu didn't expect Liu Xi to actually "run away from home", and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Liu Xi argued with Gu Jue that day because of her...

She didn't say anything. Gu Jue realized something and immediately took the initiative to comfort her, "Don't think too much, this has nothing to do with you."

It was okay if he didn't comfort her, but Lu Sangjiu became even more embarrassed when he comforted her.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Don't worry too much. If I'm fine after the Sword Seizing Tournament, I'll ask my senior sister to help you find Liu Xi."

"Liu Xi is a Golden Core Stage cultivator after all, so he won't encounter any danger easily."

Chi Yan and Feng Lin heard this and immediately expressed their willingness to help.

Gu Jue didn't like to trouble others, but it was definitely better to have more helpers when it came to finding someone, so he hesitated for a moment but didn't refuse.

He arched his hands at several people, "Then thank you in advance."

Several people chatted for a while, then Lu Sangjiu and the others got up and said goodbye.

"Then you should cultivate well and don't run around anymore. We will come to see you some other day."

Lu Sangjiu warned worriedly, "Especially don't go out just to watch my game. That's really not important."

Gu Jue was obviously reluctant, but he looked at Lu Sangjiu and finally nodded, "...I understand."

Only then was Lu Sangjiu satisfied, and he waved his hand and turned away with Chi Yan and the others.

But after walking a few steps, Gu Jue suddenly called her again, "Fellow Daoist Lu..."

Lu Sangjiu turned around, "Huh? Is there anything else?"

Gu Jue hesitated and said, "You...did you come to visit me the day before yesterday?"

Lu Sang had a drink, then shook his head sincerely, "No, why do you ask that?"

"……nothing."

Gu Jue shook his head, lowering his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

It seems that the pack of jelly beans was not a gift from her, maybe someone just didn't pay attention and fell on his pillow...
