Gu Yuling didn't know it yet, her eyes flickered, her appearance was still as weak as before, she raised her tear-stained face, and looked apologetically at Gu Xingxue in front of her.
“Sister, I’m sorry, I don’t know…”
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Xingxue clenched the ring in her hand, and smiled slightly: "Yu Ling, your legs are not feeling well, you should go and rest first."
Gu Yuling didn't want to leave, but her hand hurt a lot, and everyone was looking at her now, which made her feel uncomfortable for a while, so she finally nodded and let the servants help her to leave here.
Patriarch Gu has lived for so many years, and he is also an old man, so he can almost tell something is wrong between the two sisters at a glance.
But he didn't mean to intervene. On the road of practice, many things have to be done by himself. If someone intervenes to help, it may not be good news.
Even though thinking this way, Patriarch Gu still values Gu Xingxue as a granddaughter a little more. After all, Gu Yuling is just an ordinary disciple, while Gu Xingxue is a direct disciple. Although he has never heard of Xu Lingzong before, but since Being able to take out the ring space, compared to this background, definitely has it.
Although it is said that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, if possible, who would not want to be a phoenix soaring nine days and a chicken that bury its head in eating bugs
There is also Gu Yuling. Although the head of the Gu family does not pay much attention to these grandchildren on weekdays, as the head of the family, he naturally has a general understanding of the big and small affairs of the family. Become such a temperament that weeps and cries at every turn.
Born in Qifang, he knows exactly what kind of temperament the old Qi is. Even if he loves his daughter-in-law more in his heart, he will definitely be calm on the surface. People in Qifang are all good-natured, although Gu Yuling She is a concubine, but she spends the same amount of food and clothing as Gu Xingxue, and she is surrounded by a group of maids when she goes in and out. There are a lot of concubines in the third room, and the third child doesn't care too much. His wife is still very powerful. I have never seen those concubine girls develop such a timid look.
But if you want to say that she is really weak, the way she just ignored the words of the immortal and stretched out her hand at the ring just now is not something that a really weak person can do.
Patriarch Gu thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. In short, these two granddaughters have entered the fairyland, and they will definitely go higher than his grandfather in the future, and he can't control them.
"Okay, okay, I have a lot of things to do today, and I'm tired, let's go."
"Don't bother Xue Yuling these three days, let them spend a few days with their parents."
The juniors below hurriedly saluted, "Yes."
It's just that when they left, everyone's eyes couldn't help turning to Qifangren. Most of the elders envied Gu Qi, while the younger generation envied Gu Xingxue.
The uselessness that Gu Qi had suffered in the past few days was completely wiped away today, the entire Gu family was sought after by everyone, and there was no more sarcastic remarks from before.
He didn't feel elated, his brows were always slightly furrowed, and even his smile seemed to be a forced smile.
Seeing this in the eyes of other people, I couldn't help but spit in my heart: I got a cheap deal and acted like a good boy!
Gu Qi naturally doesn't know how others see him, he is really troubled.
As a father, he was naturally happy when his daughter came back from desperation, but at the same time, he couldn't help thinking that when the immortal was going to meet Xingxue today, his little daughter interrupted him several times, and he even told Xingxue in public. Xingxue has no more innocent things to say.
She is no longer a child, and she has been taught various etiquette since she was a child. She should know that even in the upper realm, those immortals would care about these things. It's Shui Linggen, and even the smallest sect is unwilling to accept her.
People need face and trees need skin, even if the immortal didn't care about this matter originally, and Yu Ling said that Xingxue ran away from home just to meet his lover, he might think that Xingxue was arrogant or shameless and refused to accept her.
Yu Ling is so old, really don't know what she means by saying that
Gu Qi didn't want to think about it anymore.
On this side, Gu Xingxue only showed some joy after the others had left. She walked up to her father and called out, "Father."
"Ah..." Gu Qi came back to his senses, smiled at his daughter with rare joy, and his expression softened, "This is a happy event, let's go back to the yard quickly, so that your mother will be happy too."
"yes!"
Gu Xingxue thought so too. During this period of time, because of that incident, her mother shed tears all day long, and her whole body was depressed. In addition, the third aunt and mother were at odds, and she knew that Qifang was now Not interested in socializing, but still coming to Qifang for several days, deliberately stabbing mother's heart.
It was not good for the father to meddle in the affairs of the sister-in-law and his wife, and she was locked in the courtyard again, which made the mother angry for a few days, but it was the grandfather who spoke, and the third aunt stopped coming.
Gu Xingxue has always been very guilty. It is because of her that her parents are looked down upon and despised by others. Even if they are stepped on their heads, they can't lift their heads because of her. She ran away from home before, except for wanting to let this matter In addition to calming down, there is another thought, which is to start practicing in the mortal world. It is not that there are no practitioners in the mortal world, but because the mortal world can only accommodate Jindan and below, spiritual energy is scarce and secret realms rarely appear, most of the practitioners have a cultivation base of one Enough left.
She knows that practicing in the mortal world will be very hard, but she is not afraid of hardship, as long as she can cultivate results and return home dignifiedly, even if Gu Xingxue is not a disciple of the sect, as long as her cultivation level is high enough, she can support her parents.
And now, a master descended from the sky, how could Gu Xingxue be unhappy.
When they went back, Gu's mother had already got the news. She dressed up for the first time in this period of time, and stood at the entrance of the yard looking forward to it from a distance. When she saw her daughter coming back, the smile on her face hadn't fully bloomed yet. Tears fell first.
Gu Xingxue was originally happy, but now seeing her mother's tears, she didn't know why, and her eyes were also red.
"Mother, don't cry now. Isn't it a good thing that my daughter worshiped Master?"
Gu Qi looked at the appearance of both mother and daughter, and felt that his nose was a little sore. He quickly covered up and turned slightly sideways, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, okay, it's still outside, let the servants see what it looks like , you two haven't seen each other for many days, Xingxue, accompany your mother into the house to talk."
He, the father, didn't go in with him, waved the servants back, wandered around the yard alone, and couldn't help but start thinking about Gu Yuling in his mind.
Why on earth did she say those words? Obviously in memory, the two sisters have been close since childhood. Gu's mother injured her body when she gave birth to Gu Xingxue, and basically couldn't come back from recuperation. Gu Qi and his wife have a good relationship, and they don't think about having another child. There are so many people, and the father does not lack his grandson. Later, he was tricked into having Gu Yuling. He was so angry that he wanted to deal with that woman, but it was Gu's mother who stopped him with guilt and asked the woman to take care of Gu Yu. Spirit was born.
Knowing that it was another daughter, Gu Qi's anger also dissipated a little. After all, it was his own child. He named the child Gu Yuling, because Gu's mother had a gentle temperament. Growing up with normal treatment, although the concubine and concubines in the mansion are different, but from childhood to adulthood, Gu Yuling will definitely have a share of what Gu Xingxue has.
And Gu Xingxue has always been relatively strong-tempered. The husband and wife always say that they gave birth to the girl as the wrong gender. They have loved dancing with knives and guns since they were young. They have never been interested in little girls' beautiful clothes with rouge and gouache. Practicing swordsmanship on the martial arts field, his personality is more like a boy. He loves Gu Yuling, a weak little sister, and basically gives her whatever she wants.
Gu Qi has often seen the miasma in the three houses, and he has also secretly sighed in his heart that it is fortunate that there are few people in his room and the relationship between the two sisters is good.
But, is the sisterhood between them really as good as he thought
Just as Gu Qi was thinking about it, his wife and daughter suddenly screamed in shock. His spirit tensed up instantly, and he quickly walked over and pushed open the door to rush in, "What's wrong?"
Both Gu Xingxue and Gu's mother were standing in front of the table. When Gu's mother saw her husband coming in, she quickly pulled him over to look at the things on the table, "Look, husband."
Gu Qi lowered his head in doubt, and then was blinded by a table of top-grade spirit stones.
He widened his eyes, "This, this is...?"
Gu's mother was also very frightened, and explained in a trembling voice, "This is the spirit stone in the ring given by Xingxue's master."
"Husband, this is the best spirit stone, even if you take out one alone, you can buy the imperial city!"
She was shocked again, and couldn't stop being happy for her daughter. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "We, Xingxue, have come to the end of our hardships. I heard that the master gave gifts to the disciples just after accepting them, and her master valued them so much, Xingxue must feel a lot easier in the future."
Gu Qi also nodded, "Quickly ask Xing Xue to put these things away. Although it is in his own home, the money will not be revealed. He will wait to go to the upper world in the future. Remember, don't let others know, understand?"
Gu Xingxue nodded obediently, then paused, "Father, I want to leave some for you and mother. When I'm not around, I have these spirit stones..."
"What nonsense, your mother and I have three spiritual roots, we have not practiced, what do we need the spirit stone for, let alone it was given by your master, there is no reason to pass it on after receiving a gift."
"Hurry up and put it away, Xingxue, you will be an adult in the future, and you are outside..." Gu Qi stopped hesitantly, looked at her daughter's unawareness, and reminded, "Remember when you are outside, you must be cautious. , don’t trust anyone except yourself, understand?”
Mother Gu clapped her hands, "Yes, but don't you still have Yuling? The two sisters have a good relationship. Xingxue, you are the elder sister. You have gone to the upper realm, remember to take good care of your younger sister."
"They're not from the same sect. They don't even see each other on weekdays. How can we take care of them?" Gu Qi cut off his wife's words, "What's more, the path of cultivation is against the sky. It might not be a good thing.”
Gu Xingxue thought of how her younger sister suddenly rushed over to touch the ring when she was in the hall. At that time, she saw a trace of greed in her eyes.
How is it possible, Yu Ling has always been gentle and gentle, neither fighting nor grabbing...
She tried hard to convince herself, but she couldn't settle down in her heart, she could only be a little vigilant in her heart, if Yu Ling really...
Gu Xingxue will never give in.
Just as she put away the spirit stones on the table, the maid who was guarding outside the yard came in and said loudly, "Master Seventh, Miss Twelfth is here."
Gu Yuling changed into plain white clothes, her hands were still wrapped in gauze, and was led into the house by the maid, and saluted Gu Qi and Gu's mother, "My daughter has seen her father and her mother."
Turning slightly sideways, he smiled sweetly at Gu Xingxue who was at the side: "I knew that my sister was here with my parents, so I also came to join in the fun."
Gu Qi and Gu Xingxue's expressions were a little slow, only Gu's mother didn't know what was going on, and pulled the little daughter to her side with a smile on her face, "You came just in time, our Qifang is really lucky, you two Everyone can enter the fairyland, and the family has a good gathering together today, which can be regarded as practice for you two sisters."
Gu Yuling was carried over since she was born, and in the eyes of Gu's mother, she was no different from her own daughter, so she happily asked the servants to set it up, sweeping away the depression of the past few days.
But at this moment, someone from the front yard came in from outside, "Master Seven, a fairy came to the mansion and said that he was looking for someone. The owner asked his subordinates to come down and ask if the young lady went to the front to greet him, or was the fairy coming?" Come to the backyard."
"Looking for someone?" Gu Qi looked over suspiciously, Gu Xingxue was also a little confused, but Gu Yuling immediately showed a joyful smile on his face.
"It must be the senior sister of Yuxuezong who came to me, and my daughter withdrew first."
She had been trying to curry favor with those two disciples before, and gave them her most beloved rouge. It seemed that all these efforts had paid off.
Gu Yuling smiled even more on his face when he thought that he would be taken care of by his senior sister when he entered the sect, but his sister only said a few words to the master, let alone a relationship. Faded, and left without waiting for the parents to respond.
Seeing that Gu Yuling walked down the steps, the subordinate who had finally seized the opportunity to come to Qifang to report the sale was taken aback, and said quickly, "It's the subordinate who couldn't explain clearly. What the fairy is looking for is Eleven Miss."
Gu Yuling was still stepping on the steps, but when he heard this, he stopped immediately.
Her beautiful face froze.
