This fellow Taoist Gu has a secret.
This is something Ningxia knew from the beginning. After all, not everyone can come up with such a precious spiritual object that is only known by its name.
Ningxia originally thought that he was a homeless young master from some family, and he might have fallen into this situation after encountering difficulties. Later, she realized that this was not the case, because the young master in trouble would never treat these dusty treasures with such a casual attitude.
After experiencing these things, she felt that the other party was more like...a gambler who would do anything to achieve his goal.
Those priceless treasures of heaven and earth, unheard of strange spiritual objects, and even inexplicable skills and techniques... In his eyes, these are all things that can be thrown away at will, just to protect the most precious one.
Thinking of the bad state of the other party when they first met, Ningxia seemed to have discovered something.
...When we met for the first time, the injuries on the other party's body were not ordinary.
Ningxia clearly remembers how seriously the other party was injured at that time? It was almost impossible to breathe smoothly, and the respiratory system was close to failure. As a monk, he is unable to maintain the basic operation of his body's functions, which is why he has trouble making sounds.
When Ningxia exchanged some Jiangcao for him, the other party's body was actually on the verge of collapse. If he continues like this, the only thing waiting for him is the collapse of his body's functions.
But when Ning Xia met him again on the flying boat, he found that... his condition seemed to have improved a lot. His breathing was smooth, he was able to talk normally, and there was no problem in walking. He looked great. Ning Xia guessed that the other party probably spent a lot of effort to heal himself during this period. After all, the half bottle of Golden Return Pill she gave could not make the other party recover to this extent.
But no matter what the specific situation is, Ningxia knows that the other party must be in great need of various healing herbs and elixirs.
Seeing this, she gave Feizhou two more gold-returning elixirs as compensation when he said goodbye that day. After all, she did bring a bad experience to him for her own safety.
Speaking of which, people were there first to hide, and she was the one who broke in, but when it comes to matters of life and death, people will always be selfish. The gold repayment pill given out in the end was just an apology.
I thought that the intersection between the two of them would have come to an end at this point. I never expected that the two of them would meet again here and get together because of such a strange coincidence. At this point, the two of them can no longer be described as just meeting by chance.
Maybe make a... friend? Ningxia thought uncertainly.
Having said that, to be honest, Ningxia really didn't know anything about this fellow Daoist Gu.
The few times they met, they met and parted in a hurry, and there was no chance to sit down and talk properly. The two of them had no other communication except exchanging surnames.
It's just that they have escaped together twice like this, and Ningxia still feels a strange feeling in her heart.
Now she found that she seemed to have touched another secret of the other party. Ningxia was a little worried that she would be silenced because she knew too much.
Gu Huai woke up from his soul-soaking state and met Ning Xia's eyes, thinking something bad in his heart. He didn't control it well just now, and his breath leaked out without hiding it well.
Although due to problems with his spiritual roots and dantian, his body could not withstand too much spiritual power, and he could only linger at the limit of the golden elixir for a long time. However, dozens of times of forming elixirs have completely transformed his body structure. Even if he can never retain the golden elixir in his dantian, his body's spiritual path has firmly engraved the memory of the moment when he was promoted to the golden elixir.
Therefore, when the spiritual power in his body is running, what he emits will be the fluctuations of the golden elixir monk. No matter how weak the aura is, it is still different from a Qi-training and foundation-building monk.
But judging from his realm, he is clearly a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.
Ningxia's cultivation level is higher than his, so he thinks he can't be wrong. So he was shocked when the other party leaked the golden elixir aura.
This person is not a monk in disguise like Zhenjun Yuanheng...
Looking at Ning Xia's confused eyes, Gu Huai knew that the other party had probably discovered it.
Unfortunately, this fellow Daoist Lin seemed to be very perceptive, and he should have understood a bit by looking at her expression.
Although it wasn't a shocking secret and there was no need to hide it, Gu Huai didn't want too many people to know about it.
Just when he wanted to say something to smooth things over, he found that the other party immediately changed his gaze. Except for the initial erratic state, he seemed to adjust immediately, as if nothing was visible just now, and he pretended to be so.
Gu Huai: ...If he hadn't seen that look with his own eyes just now, he would have believed it.
No, why didn't you ask? Gu Huai, who had been depressed these days, felt an emotion that was almost ironic at this moment, which also gave him some relief from his tense mind.
He probably didn't notice it either, because the corner of his mouth curved up for a long time, his voice was hoarse, and he said to the girl in a very teasing tone: "Did you notice?"
Ningxia:……
No, brother, your tone is terrible and easy to beat? The imminent threat. She really wasn't interested at all. Don't act like you "discovered my secret"...
However, if the mouth is on someone else, Ningxia can't prevent the opponent from falling down.
By the time she realized what was happening, she had almost heard it. Faced with the other party's "very kind" expression, Ning Xia vowed that if the other party heard this version of the story from elsewhere, she would not feel better.
Things are simple too.
Ning Xia guessed correctly, this man was a child of a big family. But he was not the down-and-out child she had thought before. The other party's family was a large and powerful family that was still at the top.
He is a direct descendant of that family, and from what he says, his status should be quite high.
Ordinarily, such a person should not be in such a situation that he has no time to treat his injuries, but the problem is that the other party is now facing a "rich family struggle."
While he was out training, other direct descendants of the family hired a group of killers to chase him.
The opponent had a large number of people, so he was accidentally hit hard, his realm dropped, and he couldn't even defeat those bullies. Now I can only run away to survive.
The story is that simple. When the other person talked about these things, his expression was confused and his tone was low. It can be seen that these experiences really brought him a lot of unpleasant memories.
But Ning Xia felt that the horrific experiences these days were far less severe than the shock of being treated like this by a close and trusted relative.
When he heard the other party lamenting with some melancholy, knowing that the person who had been sending killers after him to kill him was a cousin who was very close to him, Ning Xia finally couldn't help but ask a question.
Hearing Ning Xia's question, Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that she would mention this.
