Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

Bishuizhou is surrounded by mountains. Today's autumn is crisp and clear. Looking around, you can see the clear sky, lakes and mountains, and the beauty is too beautiful. It is a good time to watch and play.However, the Huxin Pavilion here at this time is full of wind and hunting, and the lake is calm and unwavering, but there are hidden swords and swords.

"..." Zhang Huayong wiped the water from the top of his head to his face, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.He naturally knew that Wen Yu's move was intentional, just to give him a blow.At this moment, Wen Yu's brows were calm and her expression was very calm.The more indifferent and elegant he looked, the more embarrassing Zhang Huayong felt in his heart.

Looking at Gu Baitang who was standing still from the beginning to the end, Zhang Huayong gradually calmed down and quickly understood the situation.

These two people most likely joined hands to set up a situation for the "Inspection Office". Knowing that the atmosphere in the city is tense at the moment, they just sit here majestically, attracting the "Inspection Office" to question and inspect.What's wrong with the chief disciples of the two palaces chatting and talking?It can't be that these two are Nancheng monks, right?If this is reported, it will definitely cause the elders to be dissatisfied with their audit office, thinking that they are not mature enough.Although the Audit Office now has the right to investigate and punish anyone and any organization, there are not a few people who want to get rid of them quickly.A few days ago Elder Zuo even came to the inspection office specifically to remind them secretly that the inspection office should not arouse public outrage, otherwise the public resentment would boil over and the inspection office might be withdrawn.

Zhang Huayong managed to become one of the chief executives of the Law Enforcement Palace, and this inspection office is equivalent to the foundation of his life. How could he let this newly established inspection office die like this?He is a smart man, knowing the current situation, he should not confront Wen Yu and Gu Baitang.Even if Gu Baitang has personal grievances with him, but the green hills are left without worrying about no firewood, the most important thing right now is to try to let the strength of the young organization of the Inspection Office grow up.

Having figured this out, Zhang Huayong calmed down, rectified his appearance, and bowed in salute: "Hua Yong was reckless, misunderstood the rumors of his subordinates, and disturbed the two senior brothers' pleasure of feeding fish here, and I hope the two senior brothers will forgive me. You have to care about this little disciple like Huayong."

Zhang Huayong's 180-degree change in attitude surprised both Wen Yu and Gu Baitang. The two looked at each other, wondering what the hell Zhang Huayong was up to.

But Zhang Huayong really bowed his body and arched his hands, as if he was sincerely apologizing.Gu Baitang then said: "Forget it, you are only responsible, and you have no guilt."

Zhang Huayong immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Senior Brother, for not haggling with disciples."

Gu Baitang saw that he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and his originally fierce face softened a little, and said: "Just in the future, if you encounter such a thing, don't rush to get people. It is not appropriate to mobilize people like this before there is no conclusive evidence. It is easy to be wronged." If people don’t talk about it, it will increase the tense atmosphere in the city and cause people to panic.”

Zhang Huayong said: "What the senior brother said is that the disciples will follow the teachings of the senior brother."

Either Gu Baitang is not good at interpersonal relationships, he is really far inferior to Wen Yu in this respect, maybe even Jiang Suxing is not as good as him.Zhang Huayong's attitude towards Zhang Huayong's stern words was changed just by flattering him, which was too easy to bully.

Now that Gu Baitang's understanding has been obtained here, Zhang Huayong will naturally leave quickly, saying: "Since it was a misunderstanding and the disciple is involved in mundane affairs, I will not disturb the two senior brothers' elegance, and the disciple will leave."

Wen Yu smiled softly, and said: "Director Zhang is a busy person, just finished running Bishuizhou, are you busy going to Qingxiu Garden to check again?"

The three words "Qingxiuyuan" aroused Gu Baitang's sensitive nerves, his eyebrows frowned, and his black eyes pierced Zhang Huayong sharply: "Qingxiuyuan?!"

Zhang Huayong looked at Baitang's sudden coercion head-on, and felt a chill enveloping his inner alchemy instantly, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.Although both are disciples of the Golden Core stage, Gu Baitang is a late stage figure who may break through the Nascent Soul stage at any time. How can Zhang Huayong, a newcomer who only entered the Golden Core stage three years ago, stand it.

Immediately lowered his head, with cold sweat on his forehead, he said: "Senior brother, don't worry, it happened for a reason. A few days ago, I received a report that there was a disciple named Wu Shengjie in Qingxiu Garden, who had been in close contact with several sword cultivators on Tianzhu Peak recently, so ..." Zhang Huayong paused, and said: "So this junior is thinking of going to investigate, let's find out the truth of the matter first."

Zhang Huayong is not stupid, knowing that Gu Baitang has a very close relationship with Elder Qiu of Qingxiu Garden, so he naturally dare not say anything more at this time.Just follow what Gu Baitang said earlier, we must first find out the truth before taking the next step.

But he didn't want Wen Yu who was on the side to be clear-eyed, and said: "Eh? I heard Director Zhang's meaning. You don't know that Wu Shengjie was taken by your inspection office in the early morning of this morning?"

Unexpectedly, Wen Yu was even aware of this matter, Zhang Huayong was shocked, "This!..." In this way, he not only took Wu Shengjie, but also deliberately deceived Gu Baitang at this time!

Gu Baitang was really furious, and he said in a cold voice: "Wu Shengjie has only been in the West City for four years, but he is just a young disciple recruited by Elder Qiu to serve tea and water. In order not to let him get involved in trivial matters in the city, Elder Qiu usually does not allow him to He left Qingxiu Garden without authorization. Now that your inspection office has arrested someone, it must be pointed out that Wu Shengjie had an affair with Nancheng cultivator. Director Zhang is going to Qingxiu Garden to investigate now? Could it be that he is going to check again to see if Elder Qiu has anything to do with this matter? Also related?"

Zhang Huayong originally wanted to have a good relationship with Gu Baitang temporarily, so as not to make the situation too rigid.After all, Gu Baitang is deeply rooted in Xicheng, and with the current headmaster of Xicheng and the elder Yusu as his backers, it may be more difficult to shake him than to shake the monks in Nancheng.If they really mate with Gu Baitang, I am afraid that Zhang Huayong and the inspection office will not get any benefits, and they may end up being beaten by chickens and eggs in the end.

Gu Baitang is easy to coax, but this Wen Yu has a kind face and a dark heart.With a few words in a calm manner, Zhang Huayong's true face can be exposed without a doubt, leaving nowhere for people to hide.

Having reached this point, Zhang Huayong had no choice but to swallow his anger, and said in a low voice: "Brother, calm down, this matter may be a misunderstanding. I will go back to the investigation office to interrogate Wu Shengjie, and find out the matter as soon as possible. After that, I will send him back personally. Qingxiu Garden, make amends to Elder Qiu."

Gu Baitang didn't bother to play tricks with him, and said, "It's best like this."

He waved his hand and let him back down.After receiving the pardon, Zhang Huayong wiped off his cold sweat, and left the Huxin Pavilion with more than a dozen inspector disciples angrily.

The pavilion became quiet again, Gu Baitang let out a deep breath through his nose, and looked at the golden carp on the lake with black eyes that were shaking their heads and tails because of the fish feed that Wen Yu sprinkled.

"Senior Brother Gu, do you really believe this person's words?" Wen Yu stood by the railing and asked while teasing the carp.

A moment later, a cold snort came from behind him, "Of course I don't believe him. Zhang Huayong is definitely not a kind person, and this man is scheming, obedient and obedient, and good at hurting people with hidden arrows. He just doesn't dare to blatantly break faces with me. After all, I am in Xicheng. The foundation is deeper than his, and he knows that using his power to shake me is tantamount to shaking a tree with a fly, or hitting a rock with an egg, and it will never succeed. That's why he did it just now, it's just a tactic to delay the attack. He is accumulating his own strength, like a The lurking poisonous snake, waiting for the right opportunity, wants to bite my life gate."

Wen Yu turned around with surprise in her eyes.He originally thought that Gu Baitang was not good at interpersonal relationships and could not understand the sinister heart, but it turned out that Gu Baitang could see through everything.

"If that's the case, why does Senior Brother Gu give him a good face?" Wen Yu was a little puzzled.According to Gu Baitang's strength in Xicheng, if he has seen through the essence of Zhang Huayong, it will not be difficult to get rid of Zhang Huayong.Gu Baitang has always been noble and virtuous, why would he play tricks with a villain like Zhang Huayong?

"Zhang Huayong is self-righteous. If he bites me, it may not necessarily kill me as he expected, but it will also damage my strength. The little devil is difficult to deal with. If I push him into a hurry at this time, it will not benefit the overall situation. "

Gu Baitang stood up, walked to the railing, and stood by the water.His eyes were calm, his voice was as cold as water, and it sounded clear to his ears.

"At the moment, the high-level people in the city are fighting each other, but they don't see any instability in their hearts. There are many Jindan stage disciples and even Yuanying stage ancestors who are secretly planning to take off their immortal status in the West City and go out to establish their own. Although the cultivation world has been peaceful for a few years, But the world of cultivators has not really disappeared, and the ghost cultivators of the underworld have come and gone in our world even more, as if entering a land of no one. Xicheng, as the head of the immortal world, if he cannot stabilize people's hearts, he will naturally not be able to convince the public. If this continues, sooner or later It will collapse invisibly. Another one, regardless of the fact that the cultivation world has flourished in the past hundred years, it is actually just a flash in the pan, and there is no fairy sect that can rival the current West City. Started a melee for the head of the fairy... I don't get rid of Zhang Huayong because it's useless to get rid of him. Get rid of one Zhang Huayong, and there will be other Ma Huayong and Liu Huayong. The desire for power will only make people follow. Leave this Zhang Huayong, at least on the surface, he still fears me three points. As long as he is not forced to be too ruthless, he will not dare to do too outrageous things before his fledgling. If he can control it and balance the forces of all parties, it might not be a problem. Good thing."

Wen Yu's eyes were slightly hot, and she sighed: "It turns out that Brother Gu is not only good-mannered, but also good-natured. I thought you were just a pedantic, serious and indifferent person, but I never thought you would have such a good manner. Now that I think about it, I don't know How many people have misunderstood you, senior brother Gu, they don't know that senior brother Gu has such a clear and exquisite heart, what a pity for them!"

Gu Baitang frowned at his praise, and said: "This is exactly what I want to tell you. In fact, I learned these from Mr. Huo, but I can use what I have learned. Mr. Huo is actually very good at Xicheng. He has a pure heart, but his methods are different. Even if he sets up an inspection office and reuses Zhang Huayong and others, it is a means for him to deal with the monks in Nancheng. If it is not like this, the cancer of the monks in Nancheng will stick to the west city forever. On. Long-term pain is better than short-term pain. If Master Huo wants to cut the mess quickly, he will inevitably be biased. But even so, he left half of the power for me in Yan Mingtang, so that I can mediate from it and try my best to turn around... People You have misunderstood me for a long time, but you have misunderstood Master Huo deeply. He is an old man, he did not hesitate to bear his notoriety to protect the west city."

In the end, Gu Baitang could not help but sigh.

Wen Yu was also silent for a long time after listening, and the two stood beside the water, both inexplicably melancholy.All this is just the beginning, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.Maybe the situation will become clearer, or maybe... the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is overwhelming, and I don't know when it will stop.

"Anyway, I really got to know Senior Brother Gu today. Wen Yu was excited and felt very fortunate." The next moment Wen Yu turned into his little fanboy. He is about [-] this year, although he is six years older than Gu Baitang. , but it is one senior brother at a time, and the calls become more and more fluent.

For Wen Yu's "true understanding", Gu Baitang just flashed a sneer in his heart.I am afraid that no one in this world really understands Gu Baitang...

"How about this, tonight there is a sacrificial event in the Master's Court, and I will host it. If Senior Brother Gu is free, can you come to the Master's House for a gathering?" Wen Yu invited with clear eyes.

Gu Baitang restrained his expression: "No."

This refusal was very straightforward, Wen Yu paused, "...Brother, do you have an appointment?"

Wen Yu is a person who listens to all directions and sees all directions. He knows that Gu Baitang's whereabouts are secretive, and only knows that he often walks in and out under Congyun Peak.I often work night shifts in Yanming Hall or the Imperial Dining Room during the day, and go to Congyun Peak at night, and sometimes I don’t come out of Congyun Peak until I go to Sangan the next day.Cong Yunfeng is a small peak, isolated from the outside world, only occasionally disciples go there to take a bath in Xiaoxue Lingchi.However, in recent years, the efficacy of Xiaoxue Lingchi has deteriorated, and it is not as magical as before, so few disciples go there.

Gu Baitang said solemnly: "Practice."

When it came to personal matters, he resumed his cold and decisive attitude.

Wen Yu didn't want to ask again, so he could only say: "Then Wen Yu won't be bothered. If there is a need in the future, brother just ask."

Gu Baitang nodded, "Farewell."

Looking at the back of the resolutely leaving, Wen Yu sighed, feeling extremely lost for a moment.He didn't know Gu Baitang before, he only thought that this person was a pedantic and serious person, but recently he paid attention to him because when dealing with the monks in Nancheng, Gu Baitang always stood up to speak for innocent disciples and uphold justice.

He thought to himself that this person was not bad, and when he saw him standing alone in the wind, he thought that he was also the chief of the first palace, so he shouldn't just hide and protect himself at such a time.So he decided to make friends with Gu Baitang, which also gave the ordinary disciples in the city a little more hope.

But I didn't expect that after getting close to Gu Baitang today, I found out that this person turned out to have a deep heart, not only caring about the world, but also wise and foolish, brave and resourceful.People like Zhang Huayong think they are smart and can coax Gu Baitang into trusting him.But he didn't want Gu Baitang to just make a move and let nature take its course.

Wen Yu's admiration for Gu Baitang was even greater than before, and it was out of control.In the past, he always felt that the young disciples in the city were ignorant, and he must have liked Gu Baitang only because of his looks.What "marry someone should marry Gu Erlang" is nothing more than a joke and sarcasm.

It was not until today that Wen Yu really understood the charm of Gu Baitang. Unlike those young disciples who only knew how to look at his face, he also saw the inner charm of Gu Baitang.This is incredible.

Wen Yu went back to live in his own study in the Master of Ceremonies, and the more he thought about it, the more his heart surged. This eagerness to share an object of admiration with others was simply unstoppable.But who can Wen Yu tell?But with the atmosphere in the city that is about to rain, who can he praise Gu Baitang with peace of mind?

Seeing the file on the desk out of the corner of his eye, Wen Yu was suddenly blessed.He unfolded the white paper, and used delicate and elegant fonts to describe Gu Baitang, who was unknown to everyone, with thousands of words eloquently...

He also said that Jiang Suxing was quite boring in Yunding Sect by himself recently.In addition to sleeping, it is to grow flowers and grass.Gu Baitang opened up a flower garden on the cloud platform and planted some spiritual flowers and herbs.These flowers and plants absorbed the aura of heaven and earth on the cloud platform, and soon grew extremely plentiful.

One of the plants still bore fruit, Jiang Suxing picked one off and washed it, lay down on the jade stone, gnawed the fruit, and read the file that Wen Yu had just sent.

This fruit is quite sour, and the temperature on the cloud platform is low, so it tastes sweet and sour and cold, very delicious.But as Jiang Suxing ate, he always felt more and more sour.

He stopped eating the fruit, picked up the dossier carefully and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

In the dossier, Wen Yu described in detail his day with Gu Baitang, and of course there were other characters and events, such as Zhang Huayong, Wu Shengjie, Xiao Leaflet and so on.The cause and effect are very detailed, allowing Jiang Suxing to grasp the sequence and context of the development of things.

However, Wen Yu's ink is mostly spread on Gu Baitang, describing in detail from Gu Baitang's tone, demeanor and actions, not to mention every word and every word Gu Baitang said, and is even more devoted to describing.

If it's just these things, it's fine, the key is that in addition to this, Wen Yu also used a lot of words and passages to describe Gu Baitang's demeanor.Such as lofty and lonely but caring about the world, stupid and cute but wise and stupid...

The love between these words is beyond words, Jiang Suxing felt panicked when he saw it.Look at this posture, Wen Yu... Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Gu Baitang? ? ?
