Taking steps to come to the bamboo courtyard, Ye Wu Shuang’s eyes gradually became gentle.
”Come in！”
Ethereal voice sounded from within the courtyard.
Ye Wu Shuang stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door.
In the courtyard, the girl Qi Qi in a long dress is sitting upright in front of the guqin. Her ten fingers are like suet jade, exuding a soft and shiny luster.
Ye Wu Shuang didn’t know why either. After returning to this Zhai Xing Academy, there were only a few people he wanted to see, and Miss Qi Qi was precisely one of them.
Actually, he didn’t have much intersection with Miss Qi Qi. The first time they met was also because he strayed into this place. Later, he learned that she was a rather rare Sun-Moon Heavenly Source Body, so he passed on the Heavenly Inverse Yin-Yang Technique to her.
The two met only a few times, but there seemed to be a feeling between them that didn’t require much words.
“I heard that all the disciples of the Star-Picking Academy have returned. Only you and Shen Yun Qin haven’t come back yet. I thought something might have happened to you.”
Miss Qi Qi stood up and came to the pavilion in the courtyard, gesturing for Ye Wu Shuang to come and sit down.
Ye Wu Shuang was not constrained either and sat opposite Miss Qi Qi.
“This matter is a long story…”
”I have time.” Girl Qi Qi smiled charmingly and said, “You can tell it in detail. Moreover, I’m also very curious about what the current Four Directions Realm looks like.”
After a pause, Ye Wu Shuang really started to tell.
In the bamboo forest, within the courtyard, under the gazebo, one person was telling, and the other was listening. Unconsciously, the sun set in the west.
“Three months or so, it sounds even more exciting than thirty years for an ordinary martial artist.” Girl Qi Qi smiled and said, “Congratulations on reaching the half-Saint realm.”
Ye Wu Shuang was slightly startled. He had not revealed his aura.
Girl Qi Qi smiled and said, “If I didn’t even have this bit of ability, that would be strange.”
Immediately, looking at Ye Wu Shuang, Girl Qi Qi said again, “Do you think that this time, the Star-Picking Academy can survive？”
“Probably.”
Ye Wu Shuang smiled and said, “Although the two vice presidents, Lu Xuan and Lu Jingshan, have defected, the academy still has that mysterious dean, and there is also Tan Tai Xiong, and Yang Yuhui. These two vice presidents cannot be underestimated！”
Girl Qi Qi said again, “But what if… people from the Four Directions Realm come？”
Hearing this, Ye Wu Shuang paused slightly.
In this Xuanyuan Domain, the Heavenly Sages of the True Saint realm are already extremely rare.
But looking at the Xuanyuan Domain, the Heavenly Sages of the True Saint, Ancient Saint, and Saint King levels are not rare. What is truly rare is the Peerless Saint Emperor！
Like the Falling Sun Sect, if they casually send out several True Saints and Ancient Saints, then the Xuanyuan Domain won’t be able to hold on.
This is not an exaggeration！
“What is the relationship between the Star-Picking Academy and the Four Directions Realm？” Ye Wu Shuang then said.
“You killed Wei Xiaotong…”
“This matter has not reached the Yunri Sect.”
“But you killed several core direct descendants of the Wei family in the Yuan Land one after another. Wei Tongtian couldn’t possibly not know.”
Hearing this, Ye Wu Shuang said, “Then this is also a disaster caused by me alone！”
Miss Qi Qi’s beautiful eyes looked at Ye Wu Shuang, and finally smiled and said, “The Star Picking Academy is not a place of cold-heartedness. Since you have decided to live and die with the Star Picking Academy, then the academy will definitely not abandon you.”
Hearing this, Ye Wu Shuang slowly nodded.
The two talked about some other topics, nothing more than the situation in the Xuanyuan Domain in the past month and their views on martial arts cultivation.
As the sky darkened, Ye Wu Shuang left the bamboo forest.
Standing on the edge of the bamboo forest and looking back, Ye Wu Shuang let out a slight sigh of relief.
He didn’t know why, but every time he entered the bamboo forest, his whole person would be a little more relaxed.
“You brat, you finally came out！”
A figure walked over from the avenue. Seeing Ye Wu Shuang, he couldn’t help but smile.
“Elder Gu…”
Gu Qingyan laughed heartily and pulled Ye Wu Shuang, saying, “Come on, accompany me for a drink.”
“Okay！”
Soon.
The Star Picking Academy.
In a pavilion on the halfway up a mountain, Ye Wu Shuang and Gu Qingyan sat facing each other, and the table was already filled with delicious food and drinks.
On one side of the pavilion, there were even dozens of jars of strong liquor with sealing mud placed.
”How’s your alcohol tolerance？”
”Should be okay.”
”Alright！”
Gu Qing Yan smiled, with a wave of his hand, the sealing mud of the jars of fine wine was opened, and the aroma of the wine filled the air. With a flick of his fingers, the bowls of the two people were already filled with strong liquor.
”Come！”
”Come！”
After drinking a bowl of wine, Gu Qing Yan’s eyes were clear, and he praised： “Good wine！”
”Another one！”
”Good！”
The two of them consecutively drank three large bowls of strong liquor before stopping.
Gu Qing Yan smiled and said： “You brat, I didn’t expect that you have made such rapid progress. The Half-Saint realm is remarkable！”
”Looking at you, it really makes me feel that these years have been in vain.”
Ye Wu Shuang’s handsome face was slightly flushed, and he smiled and said： “Because I’m a genius.”
”Hahaha…”
The hearty laughter spread from the halfway up the mountain.
And at the same time, at the foot of the mountain, two figures stood still.
I also want to drink alcohol! Gu Qi Ye scratched his head and said: That’s the delicious wine that my eldest uncle has kept for hundreds of years. Even my father hasn’t drunk it.
”Forget it, Brother Qi Ye…” Gu Wan Qing beside him said.
Gu Qi Ye’s mouth watered and said： “I also want to eat the meal made by Sister Wan Qing. It must be very delicious.”
Changing the subject, Gu Qi Ye couldn’t help but say, “What exactly does eldest uncle want to talk to Ye Wu Shuang about? Can’t the two of us listen?”
”I don’t know either.” Gu Wan Qing shook her head.
She really didn’t know.
The two of them looked at the halfway up the mountainside, and for a while, their thoughts in their hearts were different.
After three rounds of drinking and most of the delicious food gone, Gu Qing Yan picked up the wine cup and said, “I offer you a toast. This cup is for you saving my daughter, Gu Wan Qing.”
”Elder Gu is too polite. It should be.” Seeing Gu Qing Yan drink it all in one gulp, Ye Wu Shuang was not ambiguous either.
Gu Qing Yan then said, “In my Gu family line, my eldest uncle Gu Ming Yan is the first-generation dean of Zhai Xing Academy. He worked hard and brought Zhai Xing Academy to its current position. My father, Gu Ming Yuan, can be regarded as a monarch who maintains the achievements and stabilized the relationships within various parts of Zhai Xing Academy.”
”My eldest uncle Gu Ming Yan has only one son named Shen Qian Ye. Shen Qian Ye disappeared more than ten years ago, leaving only his daughter, Shen Yun Qin.”
Ye Wu Shuang didn’t ask why Gu Ming Yan’s son changed his surname to Shen. He just picked up the wine cup and took a sip, listening quietly.
Gu Qing Yan continued, “My father, Gu Ming Yuan, has three children. The eldest is me, Gu Qing Yan. The second is my younger sister, Gu Qing Shang. The two of us are among the top ten elders. The third is Gu Qing Yuan, Gu Qi Ye’s father…”
“Although we are all people who have lived for thousands of years, Gu Qi Ye and Gu Wan Qing are not much older than you.”
Generally speaking, powerful warriors either choose to have children after getting married initially, or when they feel that they have reached their own limit and can no longer make a breakthrough, they will choose to have children.
Gu Qing Yan drank a glass of wine, looked at Ye Wu Shuang, and said with a smile: “Actually, we don’t have Gu, we have Shen!”
“This Shen is the Shen of the Shen family in the Four Directions Realm！”
Once these words were dropped, Gu Qing Yan’s gaze looked at Ye Wu Shuang, as if he wanted to see some emotion from Ye Wu Shuang’s eyes.
Surprised？
Frightened?
Stunned?
Unfortunately, from Ye Wu Shuang’s clear eyes, Gu Qing Yan only saw plainness.
“Aren’t you surprised？” Gu Qing Yan was instead surprised.
