In the evening, Gu Xifeng and Monkey returned to their shabby home after dinner. Gu Xifeng was exercising in some simple ways. Monkey stopped complaining and rested his chin on his hands, staring blankly ahead.
"Dong dong dong" There was a knock on the door, and the monkey stood up and opened the door. It turned out to be Heizi. The monkey's face darkened again, and he walked back to the house and sat down. He didn't know what he was expecting.
"Two little brothers, there are people looking for you outside. They are two little girls." Heizi smiled innocently and explained his purpose without talking nonsense.
When the monkey heard that it was a little girl, he jumped up again.
"Where is it? Where is it?" He looked impatient.
"We have rules in Zaojun Pavilion. Xing Pavilion disciples are not allowed to enter without special circumstances. I asked them to wait outside. You go and have a look." After Heizi finished speaking, he left without talking nonsense to them.
"Xifeng, let's go quickly, do you think it's Sister Huaishi or the others?" The monkey was impatient, picked up Gu Xifeng and ran towards the entrance of Zaojun Pavilion.
Gu Xifeng didn't say anything, but he felt a little happy when he thought that the visitor might have Tao Zi.
When they arrived at the door, standing opposite the eight pavilion guards were Tao Muyao and Jiang Huaishi.
"Sister Huaishi, Sister Taozi, you are here to see us!" The monkey waved to the two of them happily, and Gu Xifeng also smiled and nodded to the two of them.
"Little monkey, how about being a cook? Do you want to show your skills to the sisters?" Jiang Huaishi patted the monkey's head and said happily.
"How can I learn anything? I accepted a cheap master and left without saying anything. I feel like we were abandoned by the sect." Monkey looked aggrieved.
"Probably not. Of course, the sect has some purpose in doing this. If we really let you be the cooks, there is no need for the sect to mobilize all the troops to assess and train you." Taozi shook her head slightly and said firmly.
"I think so too. This day's weird experience always makes me feel that the sect has a special purpose, but I haven't figured it out yet." Gu Xifeng agreed deeply and nodded in agreement.
"Really? Aren't we asked to be handymen for free?" Monkey didn't believe it, with doubts in his tone.
"Ah, it hurts, sister, be gentle..." Jiang Huaishi pinched the monkey's ears.
"Little monkey, cheer up. If you are a real cook, you will be the best cook for me. Do you hear me?" Jiang Huaishi looked domineering and passionate, and the strength in his hands became a little stronger. The monkey rolled his eyes in pain.
"Let's go, sister, give you a good lesson and cheer you up. You are not very enlightened now." The monkey was pinched by Jiang Huaishi's ears and walked into the woods outside the pavilion.
After the two left, Taozi and Gu Xifeng looked at each other and smiled.
"Xiao Feng, let's go, let's go for a walk." Tao Zi looked at Gu Xifeng with a gentle tone.
The two of them walked along the path for a while and climbed a hill. There happened to be a large flat bluestone. The two of them sat side by side and looked at the setting sun that was slowly setting. In the sky, the orange-red sunset reflected Tao Zi's fair skin, which was really cute.
Gu Xifeng turned his head and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Feng, how is the village now? How are my parents? How are Er Zhuang and the others doing?" Tao Zi's questions brought Gu Xifeng back from his thoughts.
"Everything is fine. I saw Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao before I came here. They are both in good health and in good spirits. My friends are also pretty good, but I don't have much time to play with them."
"To tell you the truth, when I said that I wanted to learn knowledge from my uncles, it actually also included cultivation. It's just that my uncles didn't let me go out and talk nonsense at that time. Er Zhuang also practiced with me."
"But Er Zhuang can't take the Xinghe Sect exam because of his age. My uncle Sun is still teaching him at home."
Gu Xifeng told Taozi everything he knew. Gu Xifeng's words brought back Taozi's memories, making her miss the small mountain village, its people and its warm home.
"Taozi, how have you been in the past two years?" Gu Xifeng asked with concern on his face.
Tao Zi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It's quite good. Uncle Wang made an exception and took me to the mountain when I was not yet seven years old. The sect leaders and pavilion masters were full of praise for my cultivation talent. , and was finally accepted as a direct disciple by a female elder from Tianshu Pavilion."
"Master has only two disciples now. The other one is Huai Shi. We are also very good friends. We help each other and take care of each other, and we practice quickly."
"It's just that I don't have that sense of closeness at home. I always feel like I don't belong here." Taozi hugged her knees and lowered her head, her eyes a little disappointed.
"It doesn't matter, I'm here. When you see me, you see home, hehe." Gu Xifeng patted his chest and grinned, looking careless.
"Idiot..." Taozi chuckled, and the previous disappointment became much lighter.
"Xiao Feng, why did you come to the Galaxy Sect? Didn't your two uncles teach you how to practice?" Tao Zi asked, expressing her doubts.
"Uncle Lu had to leave for something, and the two uncles decided to let me come to the Galaxy Sect to practice." The matter was so important that Gu Xifeng did not tell Taozi about his brother.
Gu Xifeng paused for a moment, as if he was a little entangled, and finally seemed to have made up his mind.
"Also, I...I want to see you..." Gu Xifeng's face suddenly turned red.
…
There was no words for a moment, and the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous. Taozi did not expect Gu Xifeng to say this, so she lowered her head shyly.
"Sister Huai Shi, I will work hard in the future, please spare me." A call came from behind, and the somewhat awkward atmosphere was broken.
Jiang Huaishi and Monkey ran over from behind. Monkey used his speed to the limit and tried his best to avoid Jiang Huaishi's pursuit.
"Okay, I'll bypass you." The two stopped, and Jiang Huaishi looked at the two people sitting on the bluestone with unusual expressions on their faces, full of suspicion.
"What are you two talking about? Why are you still blushing?" Jiang Huaishi looked at the two of them with some fun.
"Huai Shi, don't talk nonsense! We were just catching up on old times. If you blush, it's obviously from the sunset." Tao Zi defended, but her tone was a little panicked.
"Really?" Jiang Huaishi obviously didn't believe it, with a smirk on his face.
"Sister Huai Shi, monkeys, what are you doing?" Gu Xifeng asked, obviously not wanting to get entangled in this topic.
The monkey looked at Jiang Huaishi with a fearful face and replied: "I didn't do anything. Sister Huaishi just thinks that I have a bad mentality and helps me cheer up."
"Xifeng, look at me, even if I am a cook, I, Monkey, will be the most powerful cook in the future. That's right, Sister Huaishi!" Monkey looked proud.
"That's right, that's right. This is right. My patient teachings are worth it!" Jiang Huaishi gave a thumbs up, pretending to be old-fashioned.
The four boys and girls were talking and laughing on the hill like this, full of youthful vitality, creating a picture that was both contradictory and harmonious with the sunset.
