Penglai Cave.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Han Dan, who stayed up late yesterday to supervise Guo Jia's sword practice, yawned and slowly crawled out of bed. Thinking of Guo Jia wielding the sword like a mechanical arm last night, Han Dan couldn't help laughing and said: "This kid actually has a good temperament. Okay. But the training in the past two days has indeed been a bit harsh. The kid’s guilt should be completely gone. It’s time to give him a taste of the sweetness, otherwise going too far is not enough.”
However, what Han Dan didn't expect was that just as he was about to reward Guo Jia, Guo Jia disappeared. He spent half an hour searching the entire mountain gate but could not find Guo Jia, and then he was convinced that Guo Jia had escaped. Han Dan was furious. He called Dahuang and vowed to capture Guo Jia and serve him under the rules.
As a dog that is about to become a sperm, Rhubarb has a much more sensitive sense of smell than other species. It quickly followed the smell to Guo Jia's residence, but found that Guo Jia was not inside. Han Dan knew that the Bai brothers and sisters lived nearby. He had a close relationship with Guo Jia and went to ask them. However, the two sisters didn't know anything about it and made it clear that they didn't want to tell him Guo Jia's clues.
Han Dan was not annoyed. He had been asking about Guo Jia in the past three years. He knew that he was a mainlander and had a close relationship with the three elders of Baijia Village. So he took Dahuang to the foot of Anmiao Mountain and asked He said: "Ah Huang, if there is any smell of Guo Jia on this mountain, I will call you once. If you don't, I will call twice."
"Woof!" Dahuang shouted.
"Very good! This kid is indeed hiding here. Ah Huang, you go back first, and I will go up the mountain alone." After that, Han Dan went up the mountain alone.
As soon as he walked to the door of Penglai Immortal Residence, he saw the second elder blocking the door. He found that the other elder was looking at him indifferently, as if he had expected him to come. Han Dan couldn't help blurting out: "Guo Jiazhen" At your place?"
"Boy Han, have you forgotten the rules of the cave? No one is allowed to set foot on Anmiao Mountain without permission." The second elder said coldly.
"Second Elder, you don't need to show off to me. I'm just here to take my apprentice back, no offense intended." Han Dan said calmly.
"Guo Jia is the person designated by the old god to protect. If he doesn't want to go back, we will naturally protect him. Don't waste your efforts." The second elder said without changing his expression.
"Second Elder, I don't want to conflict with you. Otherwise, you can bring the person out and I'll have a chat with him. If that doesn't work, let's continue." Han Dan discussed.
"Why should I promise you?" the second elder replied mercilessly.
"In order to capture Bai Ruo, I lost most of my Juejian Sect's disciples. Now our talents have withered and we can hardly even recruit any disciples. Now that we have finally received one, the second elder is still making things difficult for us, so I don't feel like it in my heart. Are you ashamed?" Han Dan said angrily.
"Your Juejian Sect is in such a state of decline, what does it have to do with me? Why should I feel guilty?" the second elder said in surprise.
"When Bai Ruofa went crazy and massacred the village, if we, the Juejian Sect, hadn't tried our best to stop him, how could the Baijia Village be here today? Isn't such a great contribution worthy of you, Second Elder, to be more generous now?" Han Dan replied.
After hearing this, the second elder suddenly laughed and cursed: "That's nonsense! I just checked the notebooks left by the elders of the previous generation some time ago. The reason why your Juejian Sect is in this state of decline is entirely your own fault."
"What did you say!" Han Dan said angrily, the sword in his waist was unsheathed instantly, and he looked like he was going to fight for his life.
"Looking at you, you must have been deceived by the elders in the sect. Let me tell you the truth back then. First of all, Bai Ruoben was a disciple of the Seven Breath Sword Sect. She wanted to
I will continue to learn the martial arts of your Jue Sword Sect, and I will not hesitate to betray my master and join the Jue Sword Sect. Back then, you, the Juejian Sect, relied on the strength of your numbers to forcefully facilitate this matter. The results of it? He taught a monster and not only allowed Bai Ruo to master the Nine Breath Instant Sword, but also helped him learn the silent footwork, the Three Chuchen Swords and the Stacking Sword Technique. The elders of that generation were not like our generation and had little practical ability. When Bai Ruo attacked, the old immortal was still sleeping, and there were only a few strong men in the cave who could deal with Bai Ruo. This trap was created by your Jue Sword Sect. If you don’t stand up, who will? So is it wrong for me to say that you bring it upon yourself? "The second elder said.
"Impossible! How could Bai Ruo be a disciple of my Jue Sword Sect? That is completely a rumor from the outside world! There is no such person in our Jue Sword Sect's disciple list at all." Han Dan argued.
"Don't lie to yourself. If the Juejian Sect really suffered heavy casualties to protect Baijia Village, how could it have declined? Besides, there is no such person in the disciple list, so why is Bai Ruo's name on the stubborn stone peak? ? In the past, only the core disciples of your Juejian Sect were qualified to leave their names on the stubborn stone peak, right?" the second elder sneered.
Han Dan was immediately speechless.
"Why don't you leave quickly?" the second elder advised him to retreat.
"Second Elder, can't you give me some face? After all, I am also the leader of a sect." Han Dan said awkwardly.
"If you don't want to sell it, get out of here." The second elder said impatiently.
"I'm just going to tell Guo Jia a few words. I won't act recklessly. Who dares to cause trouble for you in Anmiao Mountain? You say so." Han Dan said flatteringly,
"That's pretty much it, just wait." The second elder said with a slightly calm expression.
After the second elder said that, he turned around and entered Penglai Immortal Residence. After a while, he took Guo Jia out.
As soon as Guo Jia came out, Han Dan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Guo Jia, are you sure you don't want to go back with me?"
"Master, I've thought about it. Practicing martial arts is still too difficult for me. Maybe I should forget it. I'm not good at practicing martial arts in the first place." Guo Jia replied timidly.
"Are you worthy of your efforts over the past three years?" Han Dan said angrily.
"Master, let me tell you the truth. Since I lost the bet with you three years ago, I have worked hard for you for three years without complaint. Not only do I have to complete daily morning jogs, swim in swamps, break turtles... Dragon Pattern Bamboo, I have to help you with laundry, cooking and cleaning. I really have had enough! I thought I could relax when it came to practicing swordsmanship, but who knew that life would be even more difficult. If I had known that practicing martial arts was so torturous, I would definitely have done it. I won’t come to be my disciple.” Guo Jia said bluntly.
"So, these three years of life have not brought you any benefit?" Han Dan asked.
"Of course there are benefits. I have indeed strengthened my physique and learned some cooking skills, but I am used to being lazy. It is not easy for me to persist for three years." Guo Jia sighed.
"You have endured three years of hardship and you can't bear it? I have never seen anyone as weak-willed as you." Han Dan said angrily.
"I graduated from high school in three years, okay?" Guo Jia protested.
"What does it mean to graduate from high school?" Han Dan asked confused.
"You don't understand even if I say it. Anyway, I don't want to go back. Please let me go." Guo Jia said helplessly.
"Okay, from today on, the fate between you and me as master and disciple ends here." After saying that, Han Dan took out a package of things wrapped tightly in cloth from his arms and threw it in front of Guo Jia.
"What's in here?" Guo Jia asked.
"Your things." After Han Dan said that, he left without looking back.
Guo Jia took apart the cloth and found the Minlong knife inside. Seeing the knife, Guo Jia suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. He looked at Han Dan's lonely back and fell into hesitation.
Seeing Guo Jia's appearance, the second elder couldn't help but interjected: "You can go back if you want. I will only protect you this time anyway. If you regret it again, I won't be able to help you."
Just when Guo Jia was extremely confused, the omniscient system automatically played a picture:
"If you were allowed to survive, would you still live in the same muddleheaded way as before?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
"No." Guo Jia's consciousness light ball replied.
"Then who do you want to be?" the middle-aged man asked again.
Guo Jia's conscious light group was silent for a long time, and suddenly replied: "I want to be a partner of justice."
"Are you trying to make me laugh? Can you be more realistic?" the middle-aged man said angrily.
"Then I want to become an existence that can be recognized by most people." Guo Jia's consciousness light group replied.
"Remember what you said today." The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
Guo Jia was stunned. What he was doing now was simply self-destruction. He silently picked up the Minlong knife, said goodbye to the second elder, and hurriedly chased after him.
Even for the sake of his dead father, he can no longer live in a hazy state. He must become stronger, must escape from here, and must become an impressive figure.
Han Dan didn't go down the mountain very fast. Han Dan, who had a keen sense of hearing, immediately spotted Guo Jia behind him. His stern face showed a hint of joy for a long time but he quickly covered it up. He frowned pretending to be angry and said: "You still follow me?" What are you doing here?"
Without saying a word, Guo Jia knelt down and apologized: "My disciple is unfilial and has lost his mind due to laziness. I will not make this kind of mistake again in the future. I hope Master Haihan!"
"Stop following me, I don't want to see you today." Han Dan said without looking back.
Guo Jia was in a hurry and was about to think of remedial measures when Han Dan suddenly added: "Remember to go to the old place on time tomorrow to practice sword practice."
"Yes! Master!" Guo Jia said happily.
Han Dan suddenly paused, hesitated for a while, and then added: "It's not realistic to ask you to do it twice as fast every day. You just need to maintain your level tomorrow, and you can just do it step by step from now on."
After saying that, Han Dan disappeared instantly. Guo Jia was stunned, and then he laughed unconsciously. He finally saw the humane side of his master today.
