On the second day at Qingyun Temple, Xia Youzhi happened to wake up.
On this day, Guanzhu Chen sighed sadly.
He wished Xia Youzhi could get a New Year's card here...
When Xia Youzhi turned around and saw Gu Yuan, he was immediately overjoyed and rushed over. Just as he was about to throw himself into Gu Yuan's arms, he suddenly stopped. As if he thought of something, he blushed and ran forward without looking back.
"You...you are not allowed to come here!"
Gu Yuan was confused, looking at Xia Youzhi's furious back, then turned to look at Taoist Priest Qingchen beside him.
"How can you destroy your brain by observing the Sword Monument?"
"Ahem..." Taoist Master Qingchen quickly waved his hands and said, "I have never heard such a statement before. Don't say this nonsense. Otherwise, my Qingyunguan disciples will have to cover their eyes when they see the sword monument in the future. "
Gu Yuan smiled: "Then what's going on?"
"I don't know about that." Qingchen smiled bitterly, "I can't guess what a girl is thinking."
Gu Yuanshen thought so.
Who in the entire Qingyun Temple doesn't know that Qingchen is a famous old bachelor?
When he saw Xia Youzhi again, he had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. Only then did Gu Yuan know what he was thinking.
Since Gu Yuan left, Xia Youzhi has been observing the sword monument, completely immersed in it, and can't feel the passage of time at all. Not to mention taking a bath and sleeping, he even forgot to eat and drink water.
The people in Qingyun Temple did not dare to disturb them, so they could only bring food and water every day and be ready at all times.
So before, Xia Youzhi was worried about whether there would be any strange smell on his body, so he left as if running away. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he felt completely relieved.
After knowing the current time, Xia Youzhi himself was shocked.
"It's been...almost ten days?"
"Um."
"Then you've always been here?" Xia Youzhi was a little worried, "You are the sword holder of Star City, so what's going on here all the time?"
Because he was too immersed in it before, and this time, Xia Youzhong did not get up while observing the sword monument.
So much so that she didn't notice that Gu Yuan had left midway.
Xia Youzhi was extremely shocked when he learned that Gu Yuan was not idle when he was observing the sword monument, and even went to the beautiful country.
Time management master! This is it!
There really is no idle time at all!
Xia Youzhi also knew that if Gu Yuan needed to go abroad, something big must have happened. Just as she was about to ask, Guanzhu Chen rushed over with Qingchen.
Behind them, there were several female disciples from Qingyun Temple, each holding a wooden plate filled with hot meals.
"Miss Xiaoxia, are you exhausted during this time? Come on, eat something to fill your stomach first!"
"Ah...thank you Guanzhu Chen. You don't need such a sumptuous meal. You can just get some food." Xia Youzhi was a little flattered.
"Huh?" Chen Guanzhu said with a serious expression, "Miss Xia, don't you like eating these? No problem, no problem! Just tell me what you like to eat, and I'll let the kitchen prepare it!"
"No, no, no...that's not what I meant, then...that's all, thank you Guanzhu Chen."
Xia Youzhi was thin-skinned and now a little at a loss, so he had to sit down quickly and start eating.
After observing the sword monument for such a long time, she didn't feel hungry at that time, and even in that state, she couldn't even feel the passage of time.
Now that I've woken up, my hunger is a little stronger.
But when she was eating, Chen Guanzhu, Qingchen and the others were still there, so she was embarrassed to eat in a hurry.
"Oh my, Miss Xiaoxia is indeed the best disciple of the Sword Sect!"
Guanzhu Chen was not idle at all. He praised Xia Youzhi so much that Xia Youzhi was confused.
She felt a little embarrassed, stopped what she was doing, looked at Guanzhu Chen, and then at Gu Yuan, trying to find an answer.
Gu Yuan burst into laughter. He looked at Guanzhu Chen and said slowly: "Guanzhu Chen, since Xiaoxia has woken up now, you can just say whatever you want. There is no need to hide it."
"Haha, I don't mean anything else. Miss Xiaoxia, just keep eating and don't worry about us!"
Xiaoxia was a little confused, so she had to look at Gu Yuan for help.
Guanzhu Chen didn't say anything, so she could only see if she could get any answer from Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan smiled and said: "Xiao Xia, Master Chen hopes that you can join Qingyun Temple and become a disciple of Qingyun Temple. What do you think?"
Previously, Guanzhu Chen was hesitant, not knowing how to speak.
Before, he had thought that Gu Yuan was also a little fox and was not easy to fool.
Therefore, when Gu Yuan left Qingyun Temple, he felt happy and felt that this was his chance. When Xia Youzhi woke up, he could try it.
Xia Youzhi was young and lacked social experience. He thought about it for himself, maybe the girl was so thin-skinned that she really agreed after being confused.
The idea is great, but the reality is cruel.
Guanzhu Chen also didn't expect that when Xia Youzhi woke up again, Gu Yuan would already be back.
This also strengthened Chen Guanzhu’s previous thoughts.
This little girl is really a swordsman genius!
stay! We must find a way to make her stay!
So when he heard Gu Yuan speak, Guanzhu Chen's heart was in his throat, his hands were clenched together, and he looked at Xia Youzhi nervously, waiting for the other party's next answer.
Qingchen stood aside and sighed inwardly when he saw the expression on his master's face.
This was the first time in so many years that he saw such an expression on his master's face.
After all, despite his age, he is still so calm...
But Xia Youzhi's answer was destined to disappoint Guanzhu Chen.
"How... how can this be done?!" Xia Youzhi was so frightened that the spoon in his hand almost flew out, and his head shook like a rattle. He hurriedly said, "Guanzhu Chen, I am a disciple of the Sword Sect, and my master is Fu Canglan. How can I Is it possible to become a disciple of Qingyun Temple?"
"Miss Xiaoxia, don't worry! As long as you agree, I will negotiate with Jian Zong. Moreover, I can guarantee that whatever Jian Zong can give you, our Qingyun Temple will not be left behind!"
Xia Youzhi still shook his head: "Thank you very much, Guanzhu Chen, for your support, but..."
Hearing the determination in Xia Youzhi's tone, although the other party started, Chen Guanzhu already knew what she was going to say, so he simply didn't give her a chance to refuse, stood up and said: "Miss Xia, you think about it first, don't rush to answer me. , By the way, if you need anything, just tell the disciples outside, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
After that, Qingchen ran away.
Xia Youzhi was stunned.
"Guanzhu Chen, what's going on?" Xia Youzhi asked Gu Yuan.
"Probably, I don't want my hopes to be dashed so soon." Gu Yuan said helplessly.
Xia Youzhi couldn't laugh or cry.
"But I should also make it clear to Master Chen that it is impossible for me to become a disciple of Qingyun Temple."
"This is not something that cannot be explained clearly..." Gu Yuan sighed, "Forget it, you should eat first."
"oh……"
…
Chen Guanzhu walked in front with his hands behind his back, his steps getting faster and faster, his brows knitted together, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
The disciples of Qingyun Temple who met him didn't even dare to come up and say hello when they saw the expression on their own temple leader's face, for fear of being laughed at.
Qingchen couldn't stand it anymore and said with relief: "Master, you don't have to be disappointed, right? Miss Xiaoxia is a disciple of the Sword Sect, how can she join our Qingyun Temple? Besides... you also said that as long as she agrees, you will negotiate. , how to negotiate? You have robbed Sect Master Fu’s disciple, so you can only hide when you meet him..."
"What are you talking about! What are you talking about!" Upon hearing this, Guanzhu Chen stared angrily and said, "What do you mean by this, am I still afraid of her, Fu Canglan?"
"Uh..." Qingchen didn't dare to say a word, but what he was thinking about was, maybe you know better...
"Hey... tell me, what if I asked Miss Xiao Xia to become the elder of my Qingyun Temple? Will she agree?" Guanzhu Chen continued.
Seeing that his master still refused to give up, Qingchen did not give him any hope and said bluntly: "Disciple feels that even if you want to give up the position of the temple master to others, they may not be interested in it."
"Nonsense! Is my position as the Temple Master of Qingyun Temple so worthless?"
"That's not what I meant, but... I feel that Miss Xiao Xia won't care about this. She just thinks that Master Fu has been kind to her. Besides, she may not want to shoulder this kind of responsibility. If you really want to Giving her the position of temple master will only scare people away," Qingchen said.
Although Chen Guanzhu was angry at Qingchen just now, he knew in his heart that this was indeed the case.
Hearing this, Guanzhu Chen became even more melancholy.
"How about you talk to Gu Yuan again? Mr. Gu is Miss Xiao Xia's boyfriend after all. Maybe he can give you some inspiration?"
"Forget it, let Miss Xiao Xia think about it first. As for that boy Gu Yuan...it's very difficult! Let's talk about it later." Chen Guanzhu sighed.
On Xiaoxia's side, after eating and drinking, she thought about this problem again and couldn't help but have a headache.
She rested her chin on the table and said with a sad face: "Xiao Yuanzi, tell me, what should I do?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's Guanzhu Chen! How should I reject him without hurting our friendship?"
In fact, Xiaoxia is not a person who is bad at rejecting others.
When she was in school, Xia Youzhi had many confessions to her, but her attitude was firm every time.
After all, she only had Gu Yuan in her eyes.
But the problem now is.
Xia Youzhi benefited a lot from viewing the stone tablets at Qingyun Temple.
Under such circumstances, if the refusal is too forceful, it will inevitably appear to be a bit of a nationalistic dismantling of the wall.
But for Xia Youzhi, it is absolutely impossible to leave Jianzong and join Qingyun Temple.
This is why she is so melancholy now.
"Otherwise, let's run away." Gu Yuan said.
"Run away?"
"Yeah, don't you just don't know how to face Guanzhu Chen now? Now that you've eaten and drank enough, when it gets dark, let's just run away while it's dark." Gu Yuan made a plan.
Xia Youzhi rolled his eyes.
Wouldn't that be more ugly?
"Haha, it seems that this idea is very ordinary in your eyes."
"Xiaoyuanzi, you better use your brain. How about you think about it more carefully?"
Gu Yuan thought seriously for a while, and finally patted the table with his hand.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it."
Seeing Gu Yuan's confident look, Xia Youzhi suddenly became interested.
"What can you do? Tell me."
"I told you not to worry about it, just leave it to me." Gu Yuan pretended to be mysterious.
Xia Youzhi no longer asked, but asked about Gu Yuan's trip to the beautiful country.
Gu Yuan said that before.
But Xia Youzhi didn't know what he was going to do in the beautiful country.
Idle and idle, Gu Yuan picked his teeth and recounted what happened to him in Beautiful Country.
It was just like giving a report to Elder Yun and others when he was at Guanlong Mountain.
Because he had said it before, he was much more proficient this time, but just like when he faced Elder Ai and the others, he once again concealed the awakening of consciousness in his body.
To Elder Ai and others, Gu Yuan kept the consciousness in his body as a secret. He was worried that he would be regarded as some kind of dangerous person by Guanlong Mountain. After all, even Gu Yuan himself could not tell the origin and strength of that consciousness.
And even if Elder Ai believes in Gu Yuan, he will not believe in the consciousness in his body, and he will definitely take it seriously next.
When dealing with Xiao Xia, Gu Yuan also chose to hide it. It was not because he was unwilling to reveal his secret to Xiao Xia.
But before she figured it out, revealing this matter to the other party would only make Xia You sleepless at night and worry about him even more.
A man!
How can he let his woman worry too much about him?
When Xia Youzhi heard what Gu Yuan said, he was a little surprised, and his face turned pale in the end.
Although she had thought from the beginning that it would not be a simple task for Guanlongshan to ask Gu Yuan to go to the beautiful country, she was still frightened when she heard that there were gods appearing.
Even if Gu Yuan is back safely now.
Finally, Xia Youzhi threw herself into Gu Yuan's arms, her body trembling slightly.
"Okay, haven't I already come back? It's no big deal." Gu Yuan said softly.
"Xiao Yuanzi, promise me that you will take me with you for such things in the future, okay?" Xia Youzhi said softly with a nasal voice.
Gu Yuan agreed immediately.
Whether you will actually do it after you can, that is a matter for the future...
…
The next day.
Guanzhu Chen is here again.
After Xia Youzhi received another firm rejection, he still refused to give up and called Gu Yuan outside again to start talking alone.
He had already adopted Qingchen's suggestion, and after much deliberation, he decided to start with Gu Yuan.
"Guanzhu Chen, actually, the reason why you want Xiaoxia to join Qingyun Temple is because you value her talent and future, and hope that Xiaoxia can be bound to Qingyun Temple, right?"
"Does this need to be said? Ahem... That's not right. The main thing is that I cherish talents and don't want to see someone as outstanding as Miss Xiaoxia buried in the Sword Sect." Chen Guanzhu said with a serious face.
Gu Yuan: "..."
He was thinking, would Guanzhu Chen dare to say this again in front of Fu Canglan?
"Okay, okay... let's just treat it like this." Gu Yuan continued, "But other than that, I think there are other ways."
"Oh? Say it!"
"Actually, there is an older brother in Xiaoxia's family who is a few years older than me..."
Hearing this, Chen Guanzhu was a little confused and asked tentatively: "Her brother, like Xiao Xia, is gifted with swordsmanship?"
"No, he has no talent."
Chen Guanzhu's face darkened, and just when he was about to curse, Gu Yuan said quietly: "But the question is, does it matter whether he has talent or not?"
Chen Guanzhu's eyes lit up, and he woke up the dreamer with a word in a trance!
