Chapter 18 Three Apprentices, Three Hearts Coming out of the classroom, Lu Li felt something. He looked up towards the direction of Beifeng with a slight frown on his face. The North Peak, which has always been shrouded in thick fog, now has vague outlines of the mountains due to the sudden strong wind. Dark clouds are rolling above the peak, and purple light appears from time to time. Thunder? There was a lot of commotion at the North Peak, and many people had gathered outside the main hall to watch and discuss—— "Whose immortal master's calamity is this? It's so spectacular!" "That direction... is it the North Peak? Isn't that the head of the Yaoguang Sect?" When they heard that it was the leader of the Yaoguang Sect who was going through a tribulation, some of them started to look strange— "That's probably because the tribulation was fruitless." "I agree with that. With his qualifications, he was able to attract such a huge thundercloud. I'm afraid his Tao heart is unstable and the Heaven is not pleased."
Heavenly Way? Lu Li raised a barely perceptible sneer on his lips: There are so many people in this world who are as stupid as pigs, and they regard Heavenly Way as supreme, but they don't know that they are nothing but ants in the eyes of Heavenly Way. While Lu Li was distracted, Yue Qingru, who was traveling with him, had already rushed forward, not caring what level of disciple the other party was, and pinned him down and started punching him. Yue Qingru beat him and scolded him: "How dare you talk about my master behind his back? I will beat you to death! Beat you to death! Beat you to death!" The people around were dumbfounded: What's wrong with this wild woman? She hasn't even built a foundation yet, so how can she be so strong? ! A young disciple who was also a new disciple whispered to Lu Li: "Lu Li, why don't you stop her? If the real master finds out, you will be punished and put in solitary confinement." Lu Li's smile didn't reach his eyes, and he forced out an innocent smile: "But, I can't beat her either, I'm really sorry." But after the disciple who was gossiping was beaten black and blue, Lu Li still stepped forward and pulled away Le Qingru, who was also injured. Yue Qingru's eyes turned red from beating, and she almost elbowed Lu Li in the face. She angrily asked, "What are you doing?" Lu Li raised his chin towards Bei Feng speechlessly: "Are you sure you want to continue wasting time here?" Yue Qingru looked at the dark clouds that were growing bigger and bigger, and suddenly became anxious: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ■ As soon as Gu Changnian rushed back to Beifeng, he ran into Du Ruo who was on her way to look for him. From a distance, Du Ruo waved at him, flew over on his sword, and dragged him towards Tianmu Cave, saying, "This is a critical moment for your master. Where have you been? I've had a hard time finding you." Gu Changnian said nothing, just stared at the dark clouds. The two of them came to the Tianmu Cave together. The entrance of the cave was covered by a talisman surrounded by blue light. The four masters were sitting on the four formation centers in the east, west, south and north outside the cave, apparently to protect the law. Xuan Qingzi sensed Gu Changnian's breath and closed his eyes and said, "Changnian, quickly enter the formation and protect your master's heart meridian." Gu Changnian was slightly startled: "Disciple enters the formation?" Guan Yue explained, "Your master's vitality was greatly damaged earlier, and today's thunder tribulation is even more fierce. You and your master are of the same lineage, so it's most appropriate for you to suppress the core of the formation. Go quickly." "..." Gu Changnian couldn't help but tighten his grip on Quexie. A thought popped up in his chaotic thoughts -
This calamity was coming with such force that He Qing would definitely not be able to withstand it with his current body. At the very least, he would be seriously injured and his cultivation would be relegated, or at the worst, he would lose his life. No matter which one it was, it was a good opportunity for him to get rid of He Qing... Just as he was hesitating, Hua Chiyu came over with Lu Li and Yue Qingru, whom he met on the road. After Gu Changnian left, Hua Chiyu hesitated for a long time, but decided to follow and take a look. Even though the fear that He Qing brought to her was still there, he was Gu Changnian's master after all, and at such a critical moment, she could only put her personal emotions aside. As soon as he landed, Yue Qingru ran straight to the cave entrance, but was unable to enter due to the formation barrier. He could only shout anxiously: "Master! Master, are you okay?" Lu Li stood at the farthest point and did not move forward. His dark eyes stared fixedly at Gu Changnian's back, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm in his eyes. Hua Chiyu stood beside Gu Changnian. Seeing the uncertain expression on his face, she immediately guessed what he was thinking. She couldn't help but called out in panic, "Changnian..." Gu Changnian came back to his senses and saw Hua Chiyu shaking her head at him with fear in her eyes. He suddenly felt a little emotional: I could hide my thoughts from everyone in the world, but not from Chiyu... Perhaps I will never meet someone who shares the same sentiments as me in this lifetime. But precisely because of this, he couldn't continue to hesitate and miss this opportunity! Gu Changnian tightened the Quexie Sword in his hand, raised his head and took a deep breath, and said: "Yes, disciple will enter the formation now." Hua Chiyu immediately understood that Gu Changnian wanted to use this natural disaster to hurt his master! "Long Nian!" "Senior brother." Hua Chiyu's shout and a gentle voice sounded at the same time. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw He Qing's new apprentice Lu Li walking slowly forward with a smile on his face. Lu Li was wearing the moon-white Taoist robe of the Yaoguang Sect. The hem and wide sleeves fluttered in the strong wind. His waist-length raven-colored, slightly curly hair was blown high up. Although he was clearly a young man, he strolled leisurely and calmly. He smiled at Gu Changnian and slowly stretched out his right hand: "Brother, since you are going to enter the formation, why don't I keep the Quexie Sword for you." His voice was soft and elegant, not loud, but it seemed to have a special power that allowed everyone to hear it clearly amid the dull thunder above their heads. Gu Changnian stared at Lu Li closely, unable to be sure whether this boy had noticed his intention. He said in a deep voice: "No need, Quexie is my magic weapon and I never leave it." "Is that so?" Lu Li suddenly realized, "I was worried that the thunderbolt would fall and be led to Master because of Senior Brother's sword." Everyone: ...This boy really doesn't have the talent... Gu Changnian said: "This is a magical weapon, it is not comparable to ordinary weapons." Lu Li raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly when he heard that. He looked at him for a while with a half-smile in his eyes, and said with a slightly raised voice: "Then I feel relieved. With my senior brother holding a sword beside me, I don't have to worry about someone suddenly assassinating Master." After hearing these childish words, several sect leaders were speechless, except for Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu, whose expressions were uglier than each other. Yue Qingru, who was obsessed with knocking on the door, only heard these few key words: Assassination? Assassination of the master? ! She turned her head suddenly, walked up to Gu Changnian with a fierce look in her eyes, put her hands on her hips and said, "You! You are not allowed to bring any weapons in!" Lu Li put his hands in his sleeves leisurely and said in a persuasive manner: "Junior sister, senior brother is here to protect the master." "I'm not as stupid as you!" Yue Qingru gave Lu Li a helpless look, and then said to Gu Changnian bluntly: "If you wanted to help Master, why did you hesitate for so long? You clearly have bad intentions. I won't give you the chance to hurt Master." (End of this chapter)
