290. The Villain Elder in the Cultivation World (6) (1/2)
Gu Yuling was still unaware that her eyes flashed, and she still looked as weak as before. She raised her tear-stained face and looked at Gu Xingxue in front of her apologetically.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I don't know..."
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Xingxue clenched the ring in her hand and smiled slightly: "Yu Ling, if your leg feels uncomfortable, go and rest first."
Gu Yuling didn't want to leave, but the pain in her hands and the fact that everyone was looking at her made her feel uncomfortable. Finally, she nodded and let her servants help her leave.
The head of the Gu family has lived for so many years and is also a mature figure. He can tell something is wrong between the sisters almost at a glance.
But he has no intention of intervening. On the road of cultivation, many things have to be done by oneself. If someone steps in to help, it may not be good news.
Although thinking this way, the head of the Gu family still values Gu Xingxue, his granddaughter, a little more. After all, Gu Yuling is just an ordinary disciple, while Gu Xingxue is a direct disciple. Although he has never heard of Xu Ling Sect before, since Being able to come up with the ring space is definitely something compared to this background.
Although it is said that one would rather be the head than the tail of a phoenix, if possible, who wouldn’t want to be a phoenix soaring in the nine heavens instead of being a chicken eating bugs?
There is also Gu Yuling. Although the head of the Gu family does not pay much attention to these grandchildren, as the head of the family, he naturally has a general understanding of the family's affairs. He really can't figure out how Gu Yuling raises them. He has such a temperament that he cries at every turn.
Born in the seventh room, he knew exactly what kind of temper Lao Qi was. Even if he loved his legitimate daughter more in his heart, he would definitely be fair on the surface. People in the seventh room were all good-tempered. Although Gu Yuling She is a concubine, but her food and clothing expenses are the same as those of Gu Xingxue. She is followed by a group of maids when she comes in and out. There are a lot of concubines in the third room, and the third brother doesn't care much. His wife is still a powerful one. I have never seen those concubines look so timid.
But if we were to say that she was really weak-tempered, the way she just threw the immortal's words away and reached for the ring was not something a really weak-tempered person could do.
The head of the Gu family thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. In short, these two granddaughters have embarked on the path to immortality. They will definitely go higher than his grandfather in the future, and he can't control them.
"Okay, okay, there are a lot of things to do today, and we are all tired. Let's disperse."
"Don't bother Xingxue Yuling for these three days. Let them spend a few days with their parents."
The juniors below quickly saluted and said, "Yes."
But when they left, everyone couldn't help but look at the person in Qi Fang. Most of the elders were envious of Gu Qi, while the juniors were all envious of Gu Xingxue.
The arrogance that Gu Qi had suffered in the past few days was completely eliminated today. Everyone in the Gu family was looking after him, and there was no longer any sarcastic remarks from before.
He didn't feel proud, his eyebrows were always slightly furrowed, and even his smile was a bit forced.
Seeing this in the eyes of others, they couldn't help but spit in their hearts: You got an advantage and you still act like a good boy!
Gu Qi naturally didn't know what others thought of him, and he was really worried.
As a father, he was naturally happy that his daughter had survived a desperate situation. But at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the fact that when the immortal planned to meet Xingxue today, his little daughter interrupted him several times, and even killed him in public. Xingxue said that she had lost her innocence.
She is no longer a child. She has been taught all kinds of etiquette since she was a child. She should know that even in the upper world, the immortals will care about these things. Otherwise, how could Xingxue do this after the incident spread throughout the capital? Even with Shui Linggen, even the smallest sect is unwilling to accept her.
A person wants face and a tree wants bark. Even if the immortal didn't care about this at first, after Yu Ling said that Xingxue ran away from home just to meet her lover, he would probably think that Xingxue was motivated or shameless and refuse to accept her.
Yu Ling is already so old, does he really not know what she means by saying that?
Gu Qi didn't want to think about it anymore.
On this side, Gu Xingxue's face showed some joy only after everyone else was gone. She walked up to her father and called, "Father."
"Ah..." Gu Qi came back to his senses, faced his daughter's rare joyful smile, and his expression softened, "This is a great event. Let's go back to the yard quickly to make your mother happy."
"yes!"
Gu Xingxue thought so too. During this period, because of that incident, her mother cried all day long and became depressed. In addition, the third aunt was not at odds with her mother, and everyone knew that Qifang was now He was not in the mood to socialize, but he still came to the seventh room for days, deliberately stabbing his mother in the heart.
It was not easy for the father to interfere in the affairs of his sister-in-law and his wife, and she was imprisoned in the courtyard. This made the mother angry for several days, but it was grandpa who spoke and the third aunt stopped coming.
Gu Xingxue has always felt guilty. It was because of her that her parents were looked down upon and despised. Even if they were stepped on, they could not hold their heads up because of her. She ran away from home before, in addition to wanting to let this matter go. In addition to calming down, there is another idea, which is to start practicing in the mortal world. It is not that there are no practitioners in the mortal world, it is just because the mortal world can only accommodate people below the golden elixir, spiritual energy is scarce and secret realms rarely appear, and most practitioners have a cultivation level of Enough and left.
She knew that practicing in the mortal world would be difficult, but she was not afraid of hardship. As long as she could achieve results through her practice and return home in an upright manner, even if Gu Xingxue was not a disciple of the sect, as long as her cultivation was high enough, she could support her parents.
And now, how could Gu Xingxue be unhappy when a master descended from the sky.
When they returned, Gu's mother had already received the news. She dressed up for the first time in a while. She stood at the entrance of the yard and looked forward to it. When she saw her daughter coming back, the smile on her face had not yet fully bloomed. Tears fell down first.
Gu Xingxue was originally happy, but when she saw her mother's tears, she didn't know why, but her eyes were also red.
"Mother, don't cry anymore. My daughter has worshiped her master. Isn't this a good thing?"
Seeing the mother and daughter in this state, Gu Qi felt that his nose was a little sore. He quickly covered it up and turned slightly sideways, saying in a deep voice, "Okay, okay, it's still outside. Let the servants see what it's like." , you two haven’t seen each other for many days, Xingxue, please go into the house with your mother to talk.”
He, the father, didn't follow him in. He dismissed the servants and wandered around the yard alone. He couldn't help but start thinking about Gu Yuling.
Why on earth did she say that? Obviously in memory, the two sisters have been together since childhood. When Gu's mother was injured when she gave birth to Gu Xingxue, she basically couldn't recover. Gu Qi and his wife had a good relationship, and they didn't think about having another child. Anyway, the Gu family was full of people. There were so many people, and the father did not lack his grandchildren. Later, someone plotted against him and got Gu Yuling. He was so angry that he wanted to deal with that woman, but Gu's mother felt guilty and stopped her, letting the woman take care of Gu Yuling. The spirit was born.
Gu Qi's anger subsided a little when he learned that it was another daughter. After all, it was his own child. He named the child Gu Yuling because Gu's mother had a gentle temperament. Although one of the two sisters was a legitimate child and the other was a concubine, they were both Growing up with normal treatment, although the money given to concubines in the family was different, Gu Yuling would definitely get a share of whatever Gu Xingxue had when he was a child.
Gu Xingxue has always had a strong temper. The couple always said that the girl was born with the wrong gender. She has loved dancing with knives and guns since she was a child. She has never been interested in the little girl's rouge, gouache and beautiful clothes. On weekdays, she is He practices swordsmanship in the martial arts field, and his personality is more like that of a boy. He loves Gu Yuling, a weak little sister, and basically gives her whatever she wants.
Gu Qi had never seen the chaotic atmosphere of the three families, and she had secretly lamented in her heart that it was fortunate that there were few people in her room and the relationship between the two sisters was good.
But, is the sisterly love between them really as good as he thought?
Just as Gu Qi was thinking about it, his wife and daughter's screams suddenly came from the room. His spirit suddenly became tense. He quickly walked over, opened the door and rushed in, "What's wrong?"
Gu Xingxue and Gu's mother were both standing in front of the table. Gu's mother saw her husband coming in and quickly pulled him over to look at the things on the table, "Husband, look at it."
Gu Qi lowered his head in confusion, and then was dazzled by a table of top-quality spiritual stones.
His eyes widened, "This, this is...?"
Gu's mother was also frightened and explained in a trembling voice, "This is the spiritual stone in the ring given to Xingxue by her master."
"Husband, this is the best spiritual stone. Even if you take one alone, you can buy the imperial city!"
She was shocked again, but couldn't help being happy for her daughter. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Our trip to the snow has been a blessing in disguise. I have only heard of disciples being filial to their masters. I have never heard of it." I heard that the master gave gifts to the disciples just after he accepted them. Her master values so much, and it will be much easier for her to travel in the snow in the future. "
Gu Qi also nodded, "Let Xingxue put these things away quickly. Even though it is at home, the wealth should not be revealed. If you go to the upper world in the future, you must also remember not to let anyone know. Do you understand?"
Gu Xingxue nodded obediently, then paused, "Father, I want to leave some for you and mother. When I am away, I have these spiritual stones..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother and I have three spiritual roots. Neither of us has practiced spiritual practice. What do we need spiritual stones for? Besides, this is a gift from your master. There is no reason to receive a gift and then give it back."
"Put it away quickly, Xingxue. You will be an adult in the future. When you are outside..." Gu Qi stopped hesitantly, looked at her daughter's unconscious appearance, and reminded her, "Remember when you are outside, don't be defensive. Nothing, don’t trust anyone but yourself, do you understand?”
Gu's mother clapped her hands and said, "Yes, but isn't there Yu Ling? The two sisters have a good relationship. Xingxue, you are the elder sister. When you go to the upper world, remember to take good care of your younger sister."
"They are not from the same sect. We can't even see each other on weekdays, so how can we take care of her." Gu Qi stopped his wife's words, "What's more, the path of cultivation is against nature. Xingxue helped Yu Ling and treated her badly." That’s not necessarily a good thing.”
Gu Xingxue thought of her sister's appearance when she suddenly rushed over to touch the ring in the hall. At that time, she saw a trace of greed in her eyes.
How is this possible? Yu Ling has always been gentle and never fights or grabs...
She tried hard to convince herself, but she couldn't settle down in her heart. She could only be a little vigilant in her heart. If Yu Ling was really...
Gu Xingxue would never give in.
As soon as she put away the spiritual stones on the table, the maid who was guarding outside the yard came in and said loudly, "Master Seven, Miss Twelve is here."
Gu Yuling changed into plain white clothes, her hands were still wrapped in gauze, and was led into the house by the maid. She saluted Gu Qi and Gu's mother, "My daughter has met her father and her mother."
Then he turned slightly sideways and smiled sweetly at Gu Xingxue beside him: "I knew my sister was coming to my parents' place, so I came to join in the fun."
Gu Qi and Gu Xingxue's expressions were a little slow, only Gu's mother didn't know what happened before, and pulled her little daughter to her side with a smile on her face, "You came at the right time, our Seventh House is really lucky, both of you can enter the immortal path, today the family will get together and have a good gathering, which can be regarded as a practice for you two sisters."
Gu Yuling was brought here when she was born. In Gu's mother's view, there was no difference between her and her own biological daughter. She happily called the servants to set up the house, sweeping away the depression of the past few days.
At this time, someone from the front yard came in, "Master Qi, a fairy came to the mansion, saying that she was looking for someone. The master asked his subordinates to ask, should the young lady go to the front to greet her, or should the fairy come to the backyard."
"Looking for someone?" Gu Qi looked over in confusion, and Gu Xingxue was also a little confused, but Gu Yuling's face immediately showed a happy smile.
"It must be the senior sister from Yuxue Sect who is looking for me. I will leave first."
She had been trying to please the two disciples before, and gave them her most beloved rouge. It seems that all these efforts have paid off.
Thinking that she would have the senior sister to take care of her in the future, but her sister only said a few words to the master, let alone a good relationship, Gu Yuling smiled more, and even the respect for her parents in her expression just now faded a little. Without waiting for her parents to agree, she wanted to leave on her own.
Seeing that Gu Yuling had walked down the steps, the subordinate who had finally grabbed the opportunity to come to the seventh room to report the good deal was stunned and hurriedly said, "It was my subordinate who didn't express it clearly. The fairy was looking for Miss Eleven."
Gu Yuling's feet were still on the steps. Hearing this, she stopped immediately.
Her beautiful face was frozen.
