Reborn Enemy

With the master absent, it was inconvenient for everyone to use the main hall of the Guangling School at will, and they all gathered in the side hall to talk. No one objected to Gu Pinglin's decision, and only discussed about arranging staffing and other trivial matters.Gu Pinglin kept most of the cultivators he received along the way, and Nanzhu also left most of the guards with Jiang Wu. As we all know, the disciples of Duowaidan in Penglai, in an environment that consumes a lot of money in Duyin Land, these guards will not be able to break through. The formation will not have much effect, and going there will only increase the casualties, so it is better to stay and help Jiang Wu.

Among the people left behind, Jiang Wu was the only Inner Alchemy Master. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he saluted Gu Pinglin seriously: "Don't worry, the master, I will try my best to hold them back when I'm around."

Gu Pinglin waved his hand: "I have something to tell you later, let's talk about it."

Jiang Wu understood and stepped aside.

The two disciples of the Su family were worried, and they came forward to plead for orders: "We are lowly in cultivation, but we are willing to die for the cultivation world and avenge the sect. It is of course good intentions for Sect Master Gu to keep us here, but you are outnumbered in the end." If you are weak, even if you can meet with Lord Jade and the others, how can Wan Famen not be prepared? Going to Changming Mountain is very dangerous, why don't you take us with you, or we can do our best."

The rest of the cultivators also echoed.

Gu Pinglin stopped them: "I have my own arrangements for Changming Mountain, and I have enough people. I will be able to successfully break the formation. You stay behind the Guangling faction, which is really helpful to us. If Wan Famen comes to attack, Jiang Wu will arrange for you to evacuate. reduce unnecessary casualties."

Everyone was very surprised when he clearly said that he broke the formation, some applauded with joy, while others frowned worriedly.

Someone said loudly: "So, we will definitely do our best to assist Jiang Daxiu to hold back Wanfamen, and we will wait for your good news."

Nanzhu finished making arrangements here, looked sideways at Ji Qiniang, and ordered: "Gu Yang, stay with your wife."

The woman next to Ji Qiniang took a step forward and agreed: "Yes."

Ji Qiniang said, "I don't need to stay."

Nanzhu's face darkened when she heard the words, and she said coldly: "You are like this now, it will be a drag if you go, who will take care of you?"

Ji Qiniang just didn't speak.

"It's not appropriate for you to come in, what are you going to do!" Nanzhu held back her anger and shouted, "I don't have many people left in Penglai, so it's not enough?"

Everyone noticed this, and they all fell silent in unison.Ren Li stepped forward to persuade: "If you have something to say, please speak up. I think Madam is also worried about the South Island Lord."

Bu Shuihan treated Qu Lin very well, seeing Nan Zhu like this, he couldn't help but frown: "Mrs. Ji's affairs have nothing to do with Mrs. Nan Island, who asked to marry her back then..."

"Junior brother!" Jiang Wu hastily pulled him away, smiled wryly, and whispered, "Penglai family affairs, please don't say a few words, don't ruin the friendship between head master Gu and Nandao master."

Bu Shuihan knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and sighed.

It was also inconvenient for Nanzhu to explode in public, so she immediately showed her face and said: "I was impatient for a while, and I made everyone laugh."

"Husband and wife can't argue with each other."

"In the future, the cultivation world will be peaceful, and the South Island Lord is happy with Lin'er. I will definitely come to beg for wine."

……

Everyone changed the topic wisely, Nan Zhu smiled and said politely, Ji Qiniang watched quietly for a while, then turned and left, Yang Gu looked at Nan Zhu, got a signal from him, and immediately followed.

Qi Wan'er next to him hesitated for a moment, then turned to Yao Feng: "Brother Yao, Sect Leader Gu has arranged for you, your injury is still not healed, why don't you go back to your room to rest earlier?"

Yao Feng looked at the door and said "Yes".

The two went out side by side, Qi Wan'er immediately quickened her pace, Yao Feng followed him silently without saying a word, and after walking not far, she saw Ji Qiniang and Yang Gu standing on the porch.

Yang Gu said: "The owner of the island is worried about Madam, Madam is pregnant now, even if you don't look at other people, you should look at your stomach..."

Ji Qiniang remained unmoved, as if she hadn't heard.

Qi Wan'er slowed down, and suddenly said loudly: "Brother Yao, you have to leave tomorrow morning, is your injury okay?"

Yao Feng was taken aback by the question, looked awkwardly at the two over there, then at him, and pursed his lips.

Seeing Ji Qiniang and the two of them looking this way, Qi Wan'er coughed softly and winked: "Brother Yao?"

Yao Feng said helplessly: "I'm fine."

Qi Wan'er immediately said: "Why is it all right? Duan Liu said that you need to adjust your breath more, and I will protect you." After finishing speaking, he pretended to see Ji Qiniang and the two of them, with an expression of surprise on his face, and stepped forward to clasp his fists : "Mrs. Nan, Yang Daxiu."

Aunt Yang returned the salute, but Ji Qiniang only nodded indifferently and turned away again.

It was the first time in her life that she was treated so coldly. Qi Wan'er was a little embarrassed, but she still tried to persuade her: "I just heard that what the Lord of the South Island said just now is reasonable, Madam is not strong enough, it is really not suitable to follow..."

"Penglai's family affairs don't need outsiders to talk about it," Ji Qiniang interrupted him, "Yanggu, go back to the room."

Qi Wan'er also knew that it was impolite to come down to persuade her in private, so she brought Yao Feng along to avoid misunderstandings, but she didn't expect that she would not listen to it at all. , turned around and said: "Why are women like this? I'm clearly trying to reason with her, but why won't she listen!"

Yao Feng pursed his lips.

Qi Wan'er paced back and forth twice before realizing it by herself: "Could it be that she is still angry and doesn't want to see me?"

Yao Feng coughed lightly: "Maybe."

"I thought she had forgotten," Qi Wan'er never got angry with women, and smiled awkwardly, "I just want to persuade her, she doesn't even have inner alchemy, it's too dangerous to follow, if she meets her at that time Mrs. Ji, where is she going to stand? The dilemma has really become a drag, and the South Island owner is afraid to blame her again, alas." He sighed and explained: "Wan Famen wants to control Penglai Island. If I am willing to marry her, she will not marry in Penglai, maybe the Ji family will not cooperate with Wanfamen..."

Yao Feng said: "Do you regret it?"

"Of course not," Qi Wan'er waved her hand, and said decisively, "I just want to concentrate on the way of swordsmanship, and I don't like her at first, and it's not the marriage proposed by Mrs. Qi." He hesitated for a while: "I just thought that when I left I'm afraid she was married to Penglai because of this, and I feel a little guilty."

Yao Feng patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "The South Island Master will protect her."

Qi Wan'er thought for a while, then showed her face: "Forget it, I just wanted to persuade her that she shouldn't meddle in her own business."

Everyone dispersed here, Gu Pinglin left Jiang Wu to give instructions, and then came out of the hall.Everyone is a guest, so naturally it is inconvenient to occupy the host's residence, so they all take the initiative to settle in the guest courtyard.The guest rooms of Guangling School are different from other schools. They are scattered around the bamboo forest, or in small courtyards or small buildings, which are very elegant.The last time I came, Zhou Qiu thanked him for saving the Guangling faction, and specially arranged the best guest room, not far from the Liushui building, with the sound of water and bamboo, and the environment is beautiful and secluded. Gu Pinglin didn’t go anywhere else this time, and still chose here.

The emerald bamboo has changed into a ghost bamboo, and the voice is somewhat sinister.

Gu Pinglin took out the luminous pearl and put it on the lampstand, and used a water purification formula to remove dust, and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard the sound of a zither.Gu Pinglin went to the window to look, and saw some lights on in the small attic in the distance.

Gu Pinglin closed the window, set up a barrier, went to bed and sat cross-legged.He gave up the breakthrough twice, and his physique was mostly damaged. He has been running around recently, and he has no time to recuperate. He can only heal his injuries with good luck every night.

Just after practicing, the sound of the zither pierced through the barrier like a sharp sword and pierced into my ears.

Suffering from this sudden disturbance, Gu Pinglin almost lost his true energy, immediately withdrew his power, closed his eyes and sat quietly for a while, finally opened the window with his palm and flew out.

The palace lanterns under the eaves are fluttering, the door of the small attic is wide open, the bright pearl is shining and cold, and the sword king in white sits in front of the peony screen, bowing his head and playing the piano.

The strings broke, and a black bamboo leaf was bounced off, fluttering to the ground.

Duan Qingming was not annoyed, and picked up two broken strings: "Master Gu came here to break my piano on purpose, what's the reason?"

Gu Pinglin appeared at the door: "It's reasonable to be dirty and disturb people."

"Doesn't it sound good?"

"Never thought it sounded good."

Duan Qingming said "Oh": "Then why did you learn it in the first place?"

"Huh?" Gu Pinglin reacted, and his complexion was not very good, "How many times have you sneaked into the Spiritual Heart School?"

"Not much, you only tried a dozen times and found that you have no talent, so you gave up wisely," Qin Ji slid to the wall silently, Duan Qingming stood up, "Besides, I'm not sneaking in, I'm going to Where, no one can stop it, not to mention a place like the Spiritual Pie, which is almost as defensive as it is undefended."

Gu Pinglin looked at him coldly: "Thank you for caring about me so much."

Duan Qingming walked to the door: "I have feelings for you. I don't see you in a day, like three autumns. It's human nature to visit you."

Gu Pinglin remembers clearly that back then the disciples of the Lingxin Sect were often angered by the disciples of the Xuanming Sect. He was young and arrogant, and planned to teach a disciple of the Xuanming Sect, but was interrupted by the sound of the piano. The situation was stronger than others, and he endured it After taking this breath, he called Qin Xue that night. At that time, the two had only met a few times, and the saying "not seeing each other every day is like three autumns" is obviously a lie.Gu Pinglin frowned and said: "Duan Qingming, time has changed, I don't want to listen to this kind of provocation again."

"I only hear provocation, what a pity."

"Is not it?"

Duan Qingming said: "Guardian, I was hired by you, of course I have to protect my employer at all times, so I will do my best to let you understand that your low-level enchantment is useless."

"I don't need it now," Gu Pinglin resolutely refused, "Leave tomorrow morning."

"Departure, or return?"

Gu Pinglin was about to leave when he heard the words and stopped his movements: "Of course it's the departure."

Duan Qingming said slowly: "You took Baitou Mountain just to use it as a stronghold?"

Gu Pinglin turned to look at him, calmly: "Is there any other effect?"

"Maybe, Baitou Mountain has spiritual eyes." Duan Qingming raised his eyebrows slightly, as if peach blossoms were blooming on the brows, "Just now, I found out that my previous guess was wrong. Your game is really subtle. Can Lu Zhiren see through it? It is the key to his success." The light in his black eyes gradually brightened, and he looked at Gu Pinglin intently: "Unfortunately, we are now friendly brothers."

Gu Pinglin said: "You want us to be enemies?"

Duan Qingming stepped out of the room, and there was almost only one step between the two of them. He lowered his head slightly: "Do you want to?"

Gu Pinglin said: "I never expected it."

"Yeah, you admire me." Duan Qingming clasped his wrist and pulled it up, "What's it like to use the feelings of someone you admire, do you enjoy it?"

"I didn't think so."

"Of course you don't, whoever wins when a person with feelings uses a monster that controls people's hearts?" Duan Qingming chuckled, "You said that your obsession is me, but you don't seem to have made much breakthrough by killing me , Gu Pinglin."

A wise man has no secrets.Gu Pinglin's heart tightened.

"What's your obsession?" The hand was a little cold, but the black eyes were full of strange and familiar flames, which made people uncomfortable, "You probably thought that your patience was to stabilize me and prevent me from cooperating with Lu Zhiren. "

Gu Pinglin immediately said: "I..."

"You admire me," the person in front of him stopped him from speaking, "I believe you, you will not choose Lan Feiyu to detoxify, just like now, besides me, will you be patient and compromise with others?"

Gu Pinglin interrupted calmly: "You are wrong, I will compromise with anyone at this time." He paused for a while: "Of course, I don't need to compromise when dealing with others."

Duan Qingming smiled, and his voice was a little cheerful: "It's late at night, it's time to rest." He let go of his hand, and moved half a step sideways.

Gu Pinglin looked at him, then at the door, but didn't move.

Duan Qingming smiled and stood by the door without urging him.

The silent confrontation didn't last long, Gu Pinglin suddenly said: "That's right." After speaking, he stepped into the door, turned around the screen, went straight to the large couch and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes.

After a while, the edge of the couch beside him sank slightly, and there was the sound of Suo Suo's clothes rubbing against each other, and someone lay down behind him, but the gaze seemed to be solidified, sticking to his body all the time.

"I didn't let you occupy my bed to practice."

"Since I'm here, I can only disturb you." Gu Pinglin didn't open his eyes, and slowly folded his palms.

"Bored all night, don't want to do more meaningful things?" The voice contained unknown interest.

Eyes trembling slightly, Gu Pinglin said: "I don't feel bored."

"This kind of place where the spiritual energy is cut off, can the Creation Art be practiced?"

"It's healing."

The people behind didn't speak anymore.Feeling that gaze was still on his body, Gu Pinglin simply blocked the external sensation and stayed quiet all night.

"Is Pavilion Master Duan here?"

"Who is this girl?"

"We don't know either. She refuses to say anything. We went to Zhuhai to inspect just now, and we saw that she seemed to be hunted down, so we brought her in. She heard that Master Gu is here, and she insisted on seeing Master Gu. Knowing that Master Gu is not in the room, she wants to see Pavilion Master Duan again."

"Bu overhaul is here!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Pinglin had just finished his work when he heard a noise from the flowing water building outside.

Beside him, Duan Qingming was still half lying on the couch reading a book, and had no intention of getting up at all.

Gu Pinglin got up and stayed on the bed, and walked out the door.

Bu Shuihan was leading a weeping woman up to the attic, followed by two Penglai guards.While walking, Bu Shuihan said: "You don't need to look for Junior Brother Gu, just look for Young Master Qi Thirteen, do they live here? Forget it, it's the same for Junior Brother Duan, Junior Brother Duan!"

The woman suddenly stopped crying: "Wan'er is here?"

Gu Pinglin called her: "Miss Qi."

Qi Yanfeng described himself as embarrassed, his clothes were stained with blood, dust, and leaves, and he was still holding the long sword tightly in his right hand. It looked like he had gone through a hard battle.
