The next day, Gu Pinglin proposed to leave. Bu Shuihan was the first to get anxious when he heard that he was leaving. He and Qu Lin were reconciled and it was a rare opportunity for them to spend time together. How could he bear to leave? However, no matter how much he said nice things, Gu Pinglin still ignored him.
Nanzhu was also very surprised and tried to keep him, but Gu Pinglin declined with an excuse. It was not because of the truth of the previous life that he had a grudge. Gu Pinglin was not a narrow-minded person. Even when he was reborn, he went to Duan Qingming just to resolve his obsession. He didn't mind the old grudge of the destruction of his Dao veins, let alone Nanzhu? Last night was just a temporary stimulation, and he was relieved after waking up. This time he really had to hurry. The Yinhuang Cave was unveiled, and the immortal Jiaopa was worth the brain. The lip of the Niu was replaced by the Niu. The Zhenghuang family of the sword was also very happy.
Jiang Ruoxu and others had no objection to Gu Pinglin's decision, and Bu Shuihan had to say goodbye to Qu Lin no matter how reluctant he was.
Nanzhu personally gave everyone a farewell party. Before boarding the ship, he reluctantly pulled Gu Pinglin and said, "I wanted to invite you to stay for the engagement banquet, but you were in a hurry to leave... Alas!"
"The road ahead is long, so why worry about not meeting again someday?" Gu Pinglin turned around, his long cape fluttering in the sea breeze. "Brother Nan, please stay."
Seeing that he was determined to leave, Nanzhu could only sigh and say, "Forget it, I'll let you go this time. When I get married in the future, if you don't even come to drink at the wedding, then you're not a brother."
Gu Pinglin replied: "Of course I will come."
"Senior Brother Gu." Qu Lin called him from the side.
Gu Pinglin turned to her.
Qu Lin felt a little embarrassed and asked in a low voice: "Can't you... really leave in two days?"
Gu Pinglin knew Bu Shuihan's intention when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "There is a long way to go. This is also the difference between cultivators and mortals. The path is the most important. I hope Miss Qu will think twice."
His tone was gentle but with a hint of severity, like an exhortation, more like a teaching. Qu Lin was very smart, and immediately understood what he meant. She was stunned for a long while, and suddenly her eyes turned red: "You... is it because of this?"
She had been attracted to the man in front of her, but he didn't respond, so she became discouraged. After hearing this explanation, she was touched, but she was left with regrets, so she couldn't help asking.
Facing such a Qu Lin, even if Gu Pinglin was a heart of stone, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Thinking of the bad fate he had with her in his previous life, he calmed down after a while: "No, Miss Qu, you are overthinking."
Qu Lin said "Oh" and lowered her head: "Really?"
The atmosphere between the two was ambiguous, and many people present could vaguely see it. Fortunately, Bu Shuihan was not a narrow-minded person. He had absolute trust in Gu Pinglin. Upon seeing this, he immediately came up to hold Qu Lin's hand and shook it comfortingly: "Forget it, Junior Brother Gu also meant well. It's my fault for being impatient. Don't worry."
Qu Lin wiped the corners of her eyes imperceptibly, looked up at him for a moment, and finally smiled: "Well, I'm fine."
Gu Pinglin bowed to Nanzhu and said, "Goodbye."
Everyone said goodbye and boarded the boat to leave Penglai Island. They went ashore a few days later. Haishi's waiters had been waiting at the beach. Gu Pinglin returned the Yuji boat and after a short rest in the inn, he said goodbye to Bu Shuihan and others.

Bu Shuihan was not afraid of Chen Qian, but was afraid of Yue Songting. When saying goodbye, he asked Gu Pinglin: "Did you really write a letter to speak for me?"
"Of course, don't worry, brother." Gu Pinglin comforted.
Bu Shuihan was relieved: "How loyal! I will come out to look for you after I am punished."
This trip to the sea was truly thrilling, but being able to save Bu Shuihan's life and learn the truth was also a great achievement. Gu Pinglin stood outside the inn with his hands behind his back, watching the four people leave, and remained silent for a long time.
"What a deep friendship between brothers," Duan Qingming stepped forward, "I almost forgot that what you meant by good words was to ask the Sect Master to punish him to seclusion for ten years."
Gu Pinglin glanced at him and said, "The news will come soon."
Duan Qingming smiled and said, "Chen Qian said so."
He was extremely talented and Chen Qian admired him very much, but he obviously did not take this admiration of the weak to heart. Gu Pinglin knew his nature and did not blame him - compared to his previous life, Duan Qingming might still be ruthless and heartless, but at least he would rescue himself at the last moment, and he had a deeper understanding of him. As long as they controlled themselves, the two would never reach that point again.
Gu Pinglin is still confident about this.
Duan Qingming said: "Seeing that he returned intact from head to toe, can you rest assured?"
Gu Pinglin said cheerfully: "Fellow disciples, I should care about you."
"You don't seem to care about Chen Qian and the others."
"To me, Senior Brother Bu is not only a fellow apprentice, but also a close friend," Gu Pinglin turned his head to look at him and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with caring about brothers and friends?"
"Well..." Duan Qingming also looked at him sideways, and said with a smile, "He is your fellow apprentice and friend. Then what about me? Am I a fellow apprentice or a friend?"
Their eyes met, and Gu Pinglin did not answer but asked: "Do you think we are brothers or friends?"
Duan Qingming did not answer: "If Bu Shuihan was not here, what would you do?"
Gu Pinglin said: "It is inevitable to feel sad when losing brothers and friends."
Duan Qingming asked: "What if I'm not here?"
Gu Pinglin snorted and laughed twice: "Please, I won't see you off."
"We are all fellow disciples, but you are so cruel to me." Duan Qingming didn't seem to care about the answer, and his tone was his usual joking tone, "What a pity."
Gu Pinglin asked: "What's the pity?"
"Unfortunately, Bu Shuihan is far behind."
"Hmm?" Gu Pinglin frowned.
Duan Qingming calmly turned around and looked at him for a while. Suddenly, he chuckled and reached out to pinch a strand of his long ponytail hair: "Only when we are on the same level can we be called friends, Gu Xiaojiu."
Gu Pinglin's expression changed slightly.
At this time, a noise came from far away, and a group of people passed by on the road in front of the inn. The laughter of the woman was particularly crisp and attractive. The two turned their heads at the same time and found that this group of people were all dressed as disciples of the cultivation world. Many of them carried zither cases and sword cases. The twin sisters in the middle of the front row were particularly outstanding. They were both born with icy skin and beautiful faces. They also had a pair of heroic big eyes, which added a lot of spirit to their pretty faces. The laughter came from them.
Xin Ji was sitting in the lobby of the inn drinking tea when he was startled by the scene. He walked out stroking his beard and took a look, saying, "Does it look like the Guangling School?"
Duan Qingming said "hmm" and let go of the long hair in his hand: "These two women... look a little familiar, what do you think, Junior Brother Gu?"
In his previous life, Zhou Caige and Zhou Caiqin were so fascinated by him that they followed him regardless of their relatives. If it weren't for the great power of Xuanming Sect and his superb swordsmanship, Master Zhou would have ordered him to be eliminated long ago. Now Lingxin Sect is not as powerful as Xuanming Sect. If he provokes this pair of sisters, he will definitely get into trouble. Therefore, Gu Pinglin was also secretly paying attention to his reaction. Hearing this, he said calmly: "I have indeed seen them in Haishi. What do you think? Are you interested?"
Duan Qingming thought for a moment and said, "Yes, of course."
Interest in chess pieces. Gu Pinglin has not forgotten his original comment of "vulgar and mediocre": "In short, don't cause trouble for the Lingxin Sect."
Duan Qingming said "Oh" and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a delicate scolding.
“What are you looking at!”
It turned out that the two men were staring at the Zhou sisters. They were so close that the Zhou sisters had already noticed them. The two girls glared at them and said, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Pinglin looked normal, and Duan Qingming smiled slightly.
After seeing the two men's faces clearly, the Zhou sisters were stunned, and their expressions couldn't help but relax a little. Zhou Caiqin looked at Duan Qingming, then at Gu Pinglin, and whispered something in her sister's ear. The two girls blushed and laughed, then looked over here twice, and reluctantly followed the large group.
Gu Pinglin watched them leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the fate of the sisters in their previous life, he couldn't help but glance at Duan Qingming - he was a heartless man, but he had this kind of appearance, and so many people had been deceived by him.
Xin Ji laughed, "Could it be that the two little girls have taken a fancy to you?"
Duan Qingming did not comment on this and asked with a smile: "Do you think their eyes look like the same person?"
"Like Gu..." After being glanced at by Gu Pinglin, Xin Ji quickly swallowed the words on his lips and changed the subject, "You two, shall we set off as well?"
Duan Qingming said, "Maybe tomorrow. I have something else to deal with."
Gu Pinglin had no objection and returned to his room to practice. However, today's practice seemed particularly difficult, and after several hours, there was no progress at all. Fortunately, Gu Pinglin had a great character, and he continued to circulate his Qi as usual and persisted until the evening before finishing.
As soon as I opened the door, the setting sun shone towards me, which was a little dazzling for a moment. Then I looked again, the light had already poured into the room, covering the ground with a yellow color.
Gu Pinglin went out and stood on the steps, quietly admiring the sunset in the sky for a while, until his emotions were completely sorted out. Then he turned around, closed the door, walked out of the yard, passed through the front hall, and waited at the door of the inn.
Not long after, Duan Qingming came out.
"Mr. Duan, are you going out to relax?" In just two days, the innkeeper seemed to be very familiar with him. He brought a basin of water and greeted him enthusiastically.
"That's right," Duan Qingming replied with a smile, "Little Second Brother is so busy, it seems like business is good today."
…
Gu Pinglin was very patient. He waited until he finished chatting with the waiter before walking forward.
Duan Qingming was very surprised to see him. He said "o" and stopped in front of him: "What a coincidence, Junior Brother Gu is also out to relax..."
Pretending. Gu Pinglin sneered and interrupted him directly: "Duan Qingming, you can save the nonsense."
Duan Qingming sighed: "I am at least your senior brother, you are so rude, calling me Duan Qingming, isn't that not nice?"
Gu Pinglin ignored his words: "Where are you going?"
Duan Qingming didn't even think about it: "Relax."
Gu Pinglin snorted, passed him and walked along the main road.
"Where are you going?" Duan Qingming asked from behind.
"I'm here to help you relax," Gu Pinglin turned around and looked at him, "What do you think? Do you have any objections?"
"You are like this..." Duan Qingming seemed a little helpless and laughed, "Well, I want to settle a deal. Since you are interested, it's okay to come with me."
Gu Pinglin frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"without."
"How dare you go to the appointment without any confidence?"
"So please go and give me some courage, Junior Brother."
"snort."
The two of them followed the main road out of the Haishi town, flew west on their swords for dozens of miles, and in front of them was a valley. Gu Pinglin looked down and saw that the trees in the valley were particularly lush and green, and there was a faint spiritual energy hovering in the sky. Gu Pinglin immediately understood and looked at Duan Qingming meaningfully.
"Boy, you are finally here." Someone has been waiting in the valley for a long time.
Duan Qingming humbly bowed to the man and said, "Duan Liu is late, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's not too late, it's good that you're here," the man laughed and walked up the cloud, "I don't think you dare not come."
Duan Qingming said: "That's right, Senior, you are famous. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I would never dare to lie to you."
After hearing this conversation, Gu Pinglin confirmed his guess - when he was trapped in the sea bone pit, Yan Sen suddenly helped him, and he escaped with the help of the Soul Sword Flow and the Heaven-Repairing Art. Yan Sen's help was definitely not out of kindness, it must be a deal that Duan Qingming made with him.
"You are honest," Yan Sen asked, "Where is the stuff?"
Duan Qingming showed the scroll in his hand cheerfully: "The name of the technique is "The Secret of Reinforcing the Sky". It is here. Come and get it if you want it, senior."
