Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling from the Sky

The black shadow slowly fell to the ground, and under the moonlight, a heroic face was revealed. It was none other than Chu Yunfei, the partner who had retired from the world with Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

"Yunfei, why are you here?" Ye Linglong was surprised and happy, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Chu Yunfei looked solemn, glanced at the tense atmosphere in the courtyard, and said solemnly: "I got the news that something happened here, so I came immediately." After that, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, and the sword Feng pointed directly at the man in black, "Who sent you here?"

The leader of the men in black sneered: "Since you're here, let's all stay!" Before he finished speaking, he took the lead in launching an attack, and the other men in black swarmed up, surrounding Gu Jiuchen and others.

Chu Yunfei has great martial arts skills and sharp swordsmanship, and he fought with the man in black. Gu Jiuchen and Mo Wuhen also faced the enemy separately, while Ye Linglong was scanning the formation nearby, looking for opportunities to take action.

After a fierce battle, the men in black were outnumbered and retreated one after another. Chu Yunfei was about to pursue him, but was stopped by Gu Jiuchen: "Don't chase the poor bandits, let them go."

Chu Yunfei frowned and said, "Let them go just like that? They will come again!"

Gu Jiuchen looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I know, but now is not the time to fight them to the death." He turned to look at Ye Linglong, with a hint of apology in his eyes, "Linglong, let's leave here first."

Ye Linglong didn't speak, just nodded silently, and followed Gu Jiuchen and Mo Wuhen out of the yard.

After returning to their residence, the atmosphere between Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong was still awkward. Both of them were silent, as if they had something on their mind. When Mo Wuhen saw this, his heart

Sighing secretly, he knew that the conflict between the two did not disappear because of this sudden attack, but instead deepened.

Early the next morning, Mo Wuhen talked to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong respectively, trying to understand their thoughts and find a solution.

"Jiuchen, why do you insist on staying to find out the truth? Aren't you worried about Linglong's safety?" Mo Wuhen asked.

Gu Jiuchen was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Wuhen, you should understand that since these people dare to assassinate us, it means that they already know our identity and what we have done. If we back down now, they will only become more Being unscrupulous will even endanger the lives of more innocent people.”

"But..." Mo Wuhen wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Gu Jiuchen.

"Wuhen, I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore." Gu Jiuchen's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

Mo Wuhen sighed helplessly. He knew that no one could change what Gu Jiuchen decided. He could only place his hope on Ye Linglong, hoping that she could persuade Gu Jiuchen to give up this dangerous idea.

However, when Mo Wuhen approached Ye Linglong and expressed his thoughts, he was rejected by Ye Linglong.

"Brother Mo, I know you are doing it for our own good, but I can't just watch Jiuchen take risks." Ye Linglong said firmly, "I have decided, I will stay and face it with him."

When Mo Wuhen heard this, his heart sank. He knew that the matter was beyond his control.

Mo Wuhen left Ye Linglong's room with mixed feelings in his heart. He knows that Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong are both people who care about the world, but they just treat

The problem is just different. Gu Jiuchen has a strong temper, hates evil as much as he hates evil, and will do what he sets his sights on at all costs; while Ye Linglong is delicate and considerate, and does not want to see innocent people hurt.

Mo Wuhen returned to his room, thinking hard, trying to find a way to reconcile the conflict between the two. He knew that if the differences between them could not be resolved, it would not only affect their relationship, but even endanger the safety of the entire world.

"Is there no other way?" Mo Wuhen muttered to himself, frowning.

At this moment, Gu Jiuchen pushed the door open and walked in. His face was solemn, and he was obviously still brooding about what happened before.

"Wuhen, do you really think we should just sit back and do nothing?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

Mo Wuhen knew Gu Jiuchen's temper and was not angry. He explained patiently: "Jiuchen, I know you care about the world, but you can't act recklessly! Since these people dare to come and assassinate us, it means they have something to rely on. We know nothing about their details, and taking rash actions will only alert them.”

Gu Jiuchen remained silent. He knew that what Mo Wuhen said made sense, but there was always a ball of anger burning in his heart, making it impossible for him to calm down.

"Are we just going to let them get away with it?" Gu Jiuchen said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists.

"Of course not!" Mo Wuhen said firmly, "What I mean is that we should first find out their identity, background, and their purpose, and then formulate a careful plan to catch them all!"

Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly, he

He knew that what Mo Wuhen said made sense, but he still felt a little unwilling. What he wants is to completely eliminate these dark forces, not to deal with them.

"But if we don't take action, will they attack others?" Gu Jiuchen asked worriedly.

"Don't worry about this, I will send someone to secretly protect their safety." Mo Wuhen comforted, "During this period, you and Linglong should have a good rest and recharge your batteries. After we find out their details, we can join forces. Eradicate them all in one fell swoop!”

Although Gu Jiuchen was not satisfied, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only reluctantly agree to Mo Wuhen's suggestion.

Although Gu Jiuchen was not satisfied with Mo Wuhen's "stand still", for the sake of the overall situation, he still reluctantly agreed to his suggestion. He clenched his fists tightly, and veins popped out on the back of his hands, showing the anger he was trying to suppress in his heart.

Mo Wuhen patted his shoulder and tried to comfort him: "Jiuchen, I know you are impatient, but we must act cautiously and not lose the big for the small."

Gu Jiuchen didn't speak, just nodded, turned and left Mo Wuhen's room.

Mo Wuhen looked at Gu Jiuchen's leaving figure and sighed. He knew that Gu Jiuchen was really angry this time, and not only the assassins, but also Ye Linglong.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuhen immediately got up and went to Ye Linglong's room. He knew that only Ye Linglong could persuade Gu Jiuchen now.

In Ye Linglong's room, she was sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, wondering what she was thinking. When she heard the knock on the door, she came to her senses and said softly: "Come in."

Mo Wuhen pushed the door open and saw Ye Linglong looking slightly...

With a haggard face, I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart. He knew that Ye Linglong had been worried about this matter these days.

"Linglong, are you okay?" Mo Wuhen asked with concern.

Ye Linglong shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just a little worried."

"Worried about Jiuchen?" Mo Wuhen asked.

Ye Linglong didn't speak, but her silence said everything.

Mo Wuhen walked to Ye Linglong and said softly: "Linglong, don't worry, Jiuchen is just impulsive. When he calms down, he will understand your painstaking efforts."

Ye Linglong sighed and said, "I know, I just don't want to see him worry about these things."

"Don't worry, I have sent people to investigate the origins of those assassins. I believe there will be results soon." Mo Wuhen comforted, "At that time, we can catch them all and avenge those innocent people. !”

Ye Linglong nodded and expressed support for Mo Wuhen's plan. She has never liked fighting and killing, and prefers to solve problems through peaceful means to avoid the sacrifice of more innocent lives.

However, the cold war between Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not end. In the next few days, although they all followed Mo Wuhen's plan, they deliberately kept their distance, as if they were strangers to each other.

In the process of investigating the origin of the assassin, they fought side by side, cooperated tacitly, and showed extraordinary martial arts and wisdom. However, whenever the battle ended, there would be a cold silence between them again, which made Mo Wuhen feel very helpless. Cold war, uneasy

In the dead of night, in the backyard of Mo Wuhen's mansion

But the lights are bright. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood side by side in the yard. In front of them, lay the corpses of several assassins.

"He's coming for us again." Gu Jiuchen said coldly, with a trace of imperceptible fatigue in his tone.

Ye Linglong responded lightly, bent down, and carefully inspected the clothes and belongings of one of the corpses, trying to find some clues.

"Linglong, don't waste your efforts," Gu Jiuchen said, "These assassins are well-trained and are like dead soldiers. They cannot leave any clues on their bodies."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Ye Linglong replied without raising her head, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.

Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's focused side face with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that Ye Linglong was blaming him for insisting on going his own way and insisting on taking action against those assassins regardless of her objections.

"Linglong, I..." Gu Jiuchen opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know what to say.

"I'm tired, let's go back and rest first." Ye Linglong stood up, dusted herself off, turned and walked to her room, without giving Gu Jiuchen any chance to explain.

"Linglong..." Gu Jiuchen stretched out his hand to hold Ye Linglong, but stopped in mid-air. He knew that it was useless what he said now and would only make Ye Linglong even more angry.

"Hey..." Mo Wuhen looked at the tense atmosphere between the two and sighed helplessly. He knew that the conflict between Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not form overnight. It would probably take a lot of effort to untie this knot.

"Jiuchen, you should rest early." Mo Wuhen patted Gu

Jiuchen's shoulders turned and left the yard.

Gu Jiuchen stood alone in the yard, looking at the corpses on the ground, his heart felt cold. He knew that what happened this time was just the beginning, and a bigger storm was still waiting for them behind. And he must find a way to resolve the conflict between him and Ye Linglong as soon as possible, otherwise, they will not be able to face the next challenge.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed across and landed silently on the courtyard wall. It stared at Gu Jiuchen coldly, with a cold smile on its lips.
