"Senior Brother Liu, this should be the newly recruited disciple of Huanggu Academy, Senior Brother Li Xingyun, right?"
A group of more than a dozen young men from Aoxue Villa dressed in the attire of inner disciples, immediately put down their sword practice and came to Gu Chen and others after seeing a few people.
They all looked at Gu Chen.
Most of the disciples in Aoxue Villa are six or seven years old. They were admitted to the Villa when their talents first appeared.
Liu Yihua and others are also like this.
They naturally knew each other, and there was only a new face like Gu Chen.
"My Excellency, Li Xingyun, is the first to come to Aoxue Villa. I hope you will take good care of me, senior fellow apprentices." Gu Chen smiled faintly and bowed slightly to several people.
"Don't dare, don't dare, in the villa from now on, you will be the senior brother, and we all need the care of senior brother Li."
Everyone shook their heads, looking at the reaction, it didn't seem like they were being polite at all.
"Junior brother Li doesn't know. We at Aoxue Villa do not pay attention to seniority based on entry years and age."
Liu Yihua chuckled and explained to Gu Chen.
A sect like Aoxue Villa basically does not use the number of years of entry to judge senior fellow apprentices.
Core disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples, and handyman disciples.
Those with high status are naturally senior brothers.
Disciples of the same level are almost all judged by their strength.
Like Li Xingyun, although he is a new disciple who joined Aoxue Villa, he started from Huanggu Academy.
Such a disciple will be an inner disciple at the beginning. Within two years, he will be promoted to a core disciple.
Regardless of strength or status, it is normal for them to be senior brothers.
"Senior Brother Li is young and has amazing strength. I am afraid that after graduating from Huanggu Academy, he will be able to become a core disciple. It will not take two years at all!"
"When you first enter Aoxue Villa, you can take part in the happy trip. This alone is enough to show how much Senior Brother Li is valued by the sect!"
"A happy trip is a very happy one. Senior Brother Li must remember to enjoy it, hahaha!"
After everyone's compliments, the group started laughing.
"By the way, Senior Brother Liu, Elder Hua has already led people to greet the senior brothers in the sect. Senior brothers, please come over quickly. We won't waste the time of the senior brothers."
As one of them spoke, Gu Chen and others nodded and walked along the Peach Blossom Yong Road towards the depths of the Peach Blossom Forest.
Aoxue Villa is located in the center of the Peach Blossom Forest, and the area is not even much smaller than Aoxue Ancient City.
In Aoxue Villa, there are no tall pavilions, only attic wooden houses, row upon row, arranged in an orderly manner, with a lot of leisurely atmosphere and ancient charm, and they look very comfortable.
In the center, there is a large attic that is completely higher than the attics of all the surrounding wooden houses. The attic is completely made of countless peach tree branches, and these peach tree branches are actually living trees.
There are even patches of snow-white peach blossoms blooming on the branches, giving the entire large attic a special elegance.
"The ancestor of Aoxue Villa is definitely a very classy person."
Looking at the Aoxue Villa in front of him, Gu Chen couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Although this vast manor is not very majestic, the freshness, tranquility and elegance are definitely not something that majestic buildings can give it.
"Yes, Ancestor Aoxue was definitely a Confucian swordsman with a great reputation tens of thousands of years ago. The entire Aoxue Villa has always followed Ancestor Aoxue as an example. However, Ancestor Aoxue's achievements are too great. It’s extraordinary that in all these years, Aoxue Villa has never given birth to anyone who can compare with Ancestor Aoxue.”
Liu Yihua smiled, and at this moment, there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
"Wouldn't it be great for such a force to continue like this? Why do we have to get involved with forces like Hanling Valley?"
Gu Chen shook his head gently.
Cold Spirit Valley is a force that respects strong foreigners as its lord, intends to rely on strong foreigners to rise to power, and may even have the power to be controlled by foreigners. Once this incident completely breaks out, it will become a public enemy of the entire human martial arts world!
Aoxue Villa is such a fresh and elegant sect with great achievements and extraordinary power, but it wants to associate with Hanling Valley. Isn't it afraid of being involved by Hanling Valley?
Although Gu Chen didn't know why Aoxue Villa did this, and whether he knew the secret of Hanling Valley, no matter what, he felt a little sorry for Aoxue Villa.
For women?
This is definitely not an excuse!
As a top force in one of the three sects and six sects, any of its disciples, even ordinary outer disciples, will definitely not lack women.
"This kind of thing is not something that we disciples can control." Liu Yihua shook his head gently.
As disciples of the Villa, all they can do is follow orders.
"The cooperation between Aoxue Villa and Hanling Valley has lasted for thousands of years. They are entangled with each other and their interests are entangled. I am afraid that even if they want to break it off, they will not be able to break it off so easily."
Gu Chen thought for a while and then said: "If you have the opportunity to meet the owner of Aoxue Mountain Villa, tell him to cut off ties with Hanling Valley as much as possible and stop being disturbed by him."
"This..." Liu Yihua glanced at Gu Chen for a second, then nodded and said, "I will try."
Although he didn't know why Gu Chen said that, for some reason, Gu Chen's words seemed to have some special power and fell directly into the depths of his soul.
"I just said that casually. As for what to do, it is your own business at Aoxue Villa."
Gu Chen shook his head gently and said nothing more.
There is no relationship with Aoxue Villa in the first place. If there is any relationship, it is only hatred. After all, he has killed dozens if not hundreds of people from Aoxue Villa.
The reason why he said so much this time was because the Aoxue Villa in front of him made him feel very comfortable.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the manor.
The entire manor is only surrounded by fences, and these fences are also lined with peach blossom trees. The peach blossoms are in full bloom and the fragrance is fragrant.
Inside the gate, there were already hundreds of people waiting, led by an old man in his sixties.
The disciples of the Villa on both sides behind him include both core disciples and inner disciples.
“The future backbone of our Aoxue Villa is back, welcome to everyone!!”
Following the leader's old man's words, a wave of welcoming applause instantly came from behind.
Then, the door of the villa slowly opened.
Amidst the applause, Liu Yihua led Gu Chen and others into the villa.
"Greetings to Elder Hua! Thank you, brothers and sisters!"
"Greetings to Elder Hua! I'm sorry to bother you, brothers and sisters!"
Liu Yihua was the first to speak, and Gu Chen, Lu Teng, Yue Lin, Feng Jie, and Lu Feng also spoke one after another.
"It's a long journey, and you guys have worked hard. The vice-villager has prepared a welcome dinner for you, please come!"
After Elder Hua's words, everyone followed him and walked into Aoxue Villa.
