After leaving Guozi, Ning Ping walked back to the dormitory happily, thinking from time to time that after Guozi came over, the boring life would be much more interesting. "Big Brother!" As he walked, he passed by Uncle An's sundries and ran into Hua Wenyao coming from the direction of his master's attic. "Yeah!" Hua Wenyao nodded absentmindedly to Ning Ping and went straight to his room. Ning Ping saw the ugly look on his face and thought about it. Hua Wenyao had a hard time during this period. He had several times left his soul to peek at him and his master making pills. Maybe Hua Wenyao was not good at making pills. He often made mistakes in some small things. He couldn't even handle the lowest-level ingredients of the Bigu Pill. He always received Yang Qizhen's scolding, which made Hua Wenyao very distressed. Just when Ning Ping was immersed in the fact that Guozi would be here soon to reunite with him, a sudden bad news the next day made Ning Ping completely out of control. The next afternoon, a batch of rejuvenation powder was refined to the last minute, and Hua Wenyao came to the workshop at this time. "Ning Ping, I have something to tell you..." Seeing the happy look on Ning Ping's face, Hua Wenyao paused. "What's wrong, big brother, you said it." Ning Ping looked at Hua Wenyao in confusion, thinking that he was a little strange at this time. "I told you not to get excited, Guo An, that is, Guo Zi, he just died." "Huh? Who? Guo Zi! How is it possible!" Ning Ping thought he had heard it wrong, but his heart was still confused.
"That's right, it's Guo Zi, he died." "Impossible! I was chatting with him yesterday, and he told me that he succeeded in awakening his spirit." Ning Ping stared at Hua Wenyao with eyes wide open in disbelief. Hua Wenyao has always been more concerned about Ning Ping, and he has always felt that Ning Ping has brought him good luck several times. Chunhui Valley is not big, and many people have seen his friendship with Guo Zi, including Hua Wenyao, so he came to tell him specially. "He actually succeeded in awakening his spirit?" Hua Wenyao's eyes showed a hint of brilliance and excitement. "That's right, what happened to him?" Ning Ping had already realized that Hua Wenyao would not joke with him about such a thing. "Today, I heard that Guozi made a mistake in his work, and then was punished by Xu Zhi, and was accidentally beaten to death." Ning Ping's body swayed, and he stretched out his hand to support his body on the table to stabilize his body. Guozi died just like that? He was going to become a registered disciple and reunite with me here, and I was going to take him away from here, how could he die... "Ning Ping, let me do it." Seeing Ning Ping's dazed expression, his face was pale, and the work in his hands stopped, Gao Fei on the side tried to take over the shovel in his hand and help him complete the last step. Being disturbed by this, Ning Ping also came back to his senses at this time, but his face was still extremely ugly. "Brother, no need, I'll do it!" After saying that, Ning Ping waved the shovel in his hand meticulously, his movements were extremely standard, but the whole person looked extremely bleak and desolate. "Hey~ When you are done, you can send him off. I will report this to Master later." Hua Wenyao looked at him for a while, sighed, shook his head and turned away. Ning Ping never said a word again, and completed the work at hand step by step seriously. Finally, he carefully cleaned all the tools used, and then turned away silently. "Childish~" Gao Fei looked at Ning Ping's back and muttered, and then his expression became complicated. Ning Ping came to the dormitory of the trainee disciples like a wandering soul. At this moment, the death of Guozi after dinner had spread, and everyone consciously made way when they saw Ning Ping coming. "Brother~" A familiar voice called beside Ning Ping. Ning Ping raised his empty eyes and found that the person in front of him was Yi Qingsheng: "Where is Guozi?" "Brother, follow me." Yi Qingsheng led Ning Ping to the open space behind the dormitory, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Ning Ping. Guozi lay quietly on the ground, with a bloodstain on his head, the black blood that had long been coagulated and stuck to his hair, and dust all over his clothes. "Brother, I have successfully awakened my spirit. After a few days, I will become a registered disciple after the master checks."
"Just a while ago, according to the experience you taught, I succeeded in awakening my spirit inexplicably. In the future, we can get together every day again." Ning Ping just watched quietly, and the scene of meeting Guozi yesterday appeared in his mind from time to time, and that voice seemed to still ring in his ears. "Help me get some water!" Ning Ping said lightly, and Yi Qingsheng behind him turned away after hearing it. After a while, the water was brought over, and Yi Qingsheng looked at Ning Ping's weird behavior uneasily. Ning Ping waved his hand and gently patted the dust off the pot, then scooped water from the bucket and washed the dirt on his face. After a while, the familiar face of the pot reappeared in front of Ning Ping. Finally cleaned up, Ning Ping stood up silently, without any expression on his face, but still pale. "Tell me, what happened?" "This~" Yi Qingsheng seemed to look at Ning Ping in embarrassment. "Huh?" Ning Ping turned his head to look at the other party, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes. "Hey~" Seeing this, Yi Qingsheng had no choice but to say: "Today, Guozi and others are drying medicinal materials together. You know that everyone works in different areas. Guozi finished his work early. Later, someone asked him to help and said a few words, such as "Don't think about being lazy" and so on. He was not happy. Then Senior Brother Xu Zhi came over and wanted to punish Guozi without knowing the truth." "Who would have thought that Guozi would be stubborn and said that Senior Brother Hua was very fair before and would not punish people so unreasonably. Then... After that, he was hit on the head by Senior Brother Xu and Guozi was killed." After listening to this, Ning Ping's face gradually flushed, and a boundless anger rolled in his heart. Just because of such a small matter, a person was gone. Others may not care about it, but he is Guozi, the only friend who treats him sincerely in this extremely dark and dangerous Chunhui Valley. Xu Zhi~ Ning Ping had never hated a person so much. He was in a trance until some people took away Guo Zi's body. Ning Ping came to his senses. Yi Qingsheng told Ning Ping that those who took Guo Zi's body were from the Law Enforcement Hall. After asking about Guo Zi's burial place, Ning Ping didn't want to see him now, and didn't want to watch him being buried in the cold soil. Ning Ping wanted to do something for Guo Zi before he could worship him. Ning Ping walked on the way back in a daze. Just like this, a living life that he was very familiar with left. When passing by the sundries, Ning Ping took a deep look at Xu Zhi's residence and turned away. Xu Zhi must die... to be buried with Guo Zi.
