After Gu Fuyou finished kneeling as punishment in the ancestral hall, he returned to his residence and refused to see Gu Wanpeng out of spite.
Although Gu Wanpeng stayed in Xuanmiao Gate for three days, the father and daughter never got to see each other and have a good talk.
Until Gu Wanpeng was about to return to Xiaoyao City, Gu Fuyou lay on the bed with disheveled hair and did not go to see him off.
Gu Huaiyou sat on the bed and pushed her: "Ah Man, there is no overnight hatred between father and daughter. Listen to your second brother, go out and apologize to Dad, and everything will be over."
Gu Fuyou lay on his side facing the wall and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not wrong."
Gu Huaiyou sighed. Gu Fuyou's temper would be much more restrained when he was outside. He would not offend others unless they offended him. But when he was at home, he was very impulsive and stubborn, as if he was born incompatible with Gu Wanpeng. Whenever Gu Wanpeng was at home, they would have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.
After the quarrel, the relationship between father and daughter became strained and neither of them gave in.
Fortunately, although Gu Fuyou was stubborn, she listened to advice. Every time after her elder brother gave her advice, Gu Fuyou would come to her senses and apologize to Gu Wanpeng, and Gu Wanpeng would calm down.
It’s just that her second brother’s words are not very useful.
The two brothers often lamented that temporary persuasion was only a temporary solution to their younger sister's rebellious temper. They were worried that she would suffer in the future, and they didn't know how to get her to correct those bad habits.
When Gu Fuyou was still a child, there were only three grown men in his family, and it was difficult to raise this "rose". Gu Wanpeng was often unable to take care of his family due to official business. Gu Shuangqing's cultivation was getting better and better, and he began to take over the affairs of Xiaoyao City. Gu Huaiyou himself was also a young boy, so how could he know how to teach others.
Gu Fuyou was thrown to a group of servants, allowed to grow freely, and eventually grew crooked.
The three patriarchs reacted and were grief-stricken, but it was too late. If they tried to bring her back, not only would they break their bones, but their own hands would also be scratched and bleeding by the thorns on the rose's rhizome.
Unless Gu Fuyou is willing to change, but obviously she doesn't want to, she thinks she is good the way she is.
Maybe one day Gu Fuyou will meet someone for whom he is willing to change himself and become a better person.
To this end, Gu Wanpeng and Gu Shuangqing once looked for a husband for Gu Fuyou...
Gu Huaiyou said: "Even if you don't admit your mistakes, Dad is leaving, you should go out and see him off."
Gu Fuyou said: "No!"
"Huaiyou!" Gu Wanpeng, who was standing outside the courtyard, had already started urging.
Gu Huaiyou stood up and said, "If you don't let this matter go, you will be the one who will be embarrassed when you go home to see your father next time. Don't you plan to go back next month when you visit your parents?"
Gu Fuyou pulled the quilt over his head and said, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back."
Gu Wanpeng urged him again, and seeing that he could not persuade him any more, Gu Huaiyou gave up and went out to send Gu Wanpeng down the mountain.
As soon as Gu Huaiyou left, the room became quiet.
Gu Fuyou threw back the quilt, revealing a head of messy hair. He couldn't sleep, and he couldn't concentrate on reading a book, so he tossed and turned between sitting and standing.
Suddenly, she picked up a wooden hairpin from the bedside, tied up her hair, and walked out.
She took a shortcut down the mountain, and when she saw the teleportation array, she walked into the woods and stood behind an old locust tree.
Soon, voices were heard from the mountain path on the left, and three figures slowly walked down the mountain until they stopped in front of the teleportation array.
It turned out to be Ji Chaoling, Gu Wanpeng and Gu Huaiyou.
Gu Wanpeng and Ji Chaoling had official business to discuss, and Gu Huaiyou also had family matters to tell. It was too fast to fly down the mountain on a sword, so the three of them walked down the mountain slowly.
Gu Fuyou was ahead of them. She saw the people but did not go out. She just leaned against the tree trunk and watched Gu Wanpeng turn away from the two and enter the teleportation array until he disappeared.
Just as she was in a daze, someone suddenly patted her from behind. When she turned around, she saw Si Miao's smiling face.
"Silly sister, if you want to give someone a gift, just go out and do it openly. Why do you have to hide here secretly?"
Gu Fuyou crossed his arms and snorted coldly: "Who wants to send him off?"
If she went out to see him off, it would be like she had compromised, admitted her mistake, and her grievance and anger would be like a child playing house.
But whose sadness is just a joke.
Gu Fuyou turned around and went straight back to the courtyard, as if he had just gone down the mountain for a stroll. Si Miao smiled and didn't mention the matter any more.
As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw a dark shadow in front of the corridor and a faint smell of blood in the air.
Gu Fuyou called out, "Ah Fu."
The black shadow turned around, revealing sharp fangs, sinister wolf eyes, and a piece of bloody meat in its mouth. To anyone who looked at it, it was clearly a beast committing a crime.
When the beast saw Gu Fuyou, its eyes changed, its pupils relaxed, its brows opened, and it swallowed the raw meat in a few bites. It ran over happily, its body like a dark cloud, and jumped into Gu Fuyou's arms, just like a domestic dog.
Gu Fuyou slapped it open and said, "It smells fishy. Don't rub against my arms."
Gu Fuyou walked into the house, and Ah Fu followed beside her, whimpering in grievance.
Gu Fuyou walked to the corridor and saw a large bloodstain on the ground, which was as big as an adult bull. It was obvious that Ah Fu had already had a feast before they came back.
Gu Fuyou hurriedly opened a small pear blossom wooden cabinet in the room and took a look, but it was empty.
This wooden cabinet is a storage cabinet, similar to a storage bag. The space inside is as big as a house. It is used by Gu Fuyou to store Ah Fu’s food.
Gu Fuyou walked out, glared at Ah Fu, and said, "Are you a pig? You eat so much!"
After bringing Ah Fu out, within a day, Ah Fu had grown fangs and his body had grown bigger. Gu Fuyou basically let Ah Fu run free, except for asking Gu Huaiyou to kill some spirit beasts on Jiansu Peak to feed Ah Fu.
Ah Fu's body grew bigger day by day, and his appetite also increased day by day. He ate everything, including the dregs of the medicine made by Si Miao, secretly ate the food made by Gu Fuyou, and the meat of the spirit beasts caught by Gu Huaiyou.
Now he would open the locker door and secretly eat the stored food when she was not around.
Gu Fuyou couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a rare spiritual beast. It had developed intelligence only a few months after birth and had the IQ of a human child.
Si Miao said: "Isn't Ah Fu growing too fast? Even Zhen Mao didn't grow this tall."
Gu Fuyou was also puzzled because Ah Fu was growing too fast.
It has been no more than four months since Ah Fu was born, but now he is almost as big as a grown horse.
The fur that was originally gray with white has now turned into a shiny black color, and the fur on the belly and limbs is white, making it look like "dark clouds covering snow".
Gu Fuyou thought about it for a long time but to no avail. He decided to ask Zhong Michu when he had time, as she might know.
However, it would be better if she didn't think about it. As soon as she thought of Zhong Michu, she started to feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable all over.
Since the quarrel in the ancestral hall that day, perhaps in the eyes of others, it could not be considered a quarrel, but for someone like Zhong Michu who spoke so little and would rather choose to ignore than argue, it should be considered a fierce quarrel.
Gu Fuyou felt awkward because she didn't want this knot to come between her and Zhong Michu, but she didn't know how to reconcile with Zhong Michu.
Whenever she quarreled with Gu Wanpeng in the past, Gu Shuangqing would always persuade her to admit her mistakes and tell her what she had done wrong.
Now, she was arguing with Zhong Michu. She didn’t know what she did wrong. She even felt that she was not at all wrong, but they did have an argument.
Headache.
The more she got along with Zhong Michu, the more she didn't know how to get along with him.
When she gets along with her family, she always acts like a spoiled child and foolishly in order to attract attention, and later her willfulness became the norm; when she gets along with Si Miao, they criticize each other and help each other; when she gets along with Zhu Ruo and others, these sisters are gentle, considerate, caring and the most tolerant. She is the same when she is with these people; when she gets along with Yuan Changsui and others, everyone looks down on her, and her temper is the most eccentric, and she would rather stay away from them.
But how should I get along with Zhong Michu? If I am too close, she will get annoyed. If I am too distant, she will not like it. I don't want her to see my weird temper, but I also want her to tolerate my weird temper.
Sometimes I forget myself so much that when I think back on it later, I always feel regretful and wish I could go back to the past and strangle myself to death.
She wanted Zhong Michu as a friend so much. She was sure that this person would be her soulmate. She wanted to become closer, to become close friends, to become friends for life and death. She wanted it so much. She had felt this passionate once in her life, when she first saw the formation.
Gu Fuyou sighed. Sad.
Dealing with her father and thinking about how to apologize to him was not as difficult as it seems.
As he thought about it, Gu Fuyou decided to give up thinking.
This giving up meant giving up on the day when Xuanmiao Sect allowed its disciples to return home to visit their families.
Simiao went back home early because of something going on at home. Gu Fuyou was still angry and didn't want to go back too early, and seeing that Gu Huaiyou was really worried about Simiao, he asked Gu Huaiyou to send Simiao back first.
After waiting for a few days and planning to go back, Zhu Ruo suddenly sent a message.
The market is open.
This Youzou City is the largest chamber of commerce in the world, and it holds a market every three years.
It attracts merchants from all over the world to come and trade, from the high-ranking ones like the Wanyao Pavilion to the lowly ones like the villagers in the mountains. As long as they have good things, they can come here to trade. Therefore, the merchants, buyers, and tourists who come here may be nobles from the Four Immortal Sects, some may be independent cultivators, and some may be great hidden powers. There are all kinds of people.
The magic weapons, elixirs, magical beasts and plants, rare items, and all kinds of rare treasures were traded. Gu Fuyou's "Natural History" was bought here.
There are also activities such as animal fighting, magic competitions, and discussions on scriptures and philosophy, with generous rewards.
This was a grand event in the world of immortal cultivation, and it was extremely lively. Because each market was held in a different place, the Chamber of Commerce took the name of "Wandering Market Gate".
This year, the Wandering Market will be held in Wantong City. Gu Fuyou went to the Wandering Market several times, and her eldest brother Gu Shuangqing always took her there.
Gu Shuangqing is busy with work this time and cannot spare the time, so I guess he can't go.
Gu Fuyou thought that since she had been there several times and was familiar with the rules, and since it was in Wantong City and so close, she might as well go and take a look herself.
Having made up his mind, he packed up that day and took Ah Fu down the mountain.
When she reached the mountainside, she saw a wisteria tree and remembered that it was here that she first saw Zhong Michu.
She walked to the tree. It was midsummer and the wisteria was in full bloom, like ears of woven lavender gauze.
Gu Fuyou counted on his fingers in his mind. It has been more than a month since he last saw Senior Sister Zhong. She should not be angry anymore.
As she thought about this, she came to her senses. A gust of wind blew by and she smelled a familiar fresh air. She looked up and found that Zhong Michu was standing under the wisteria flowers without her knowing when. Her fairy-like appearance and the beautiful flowers set off each other very well.
Gu Fuyou looked at the talisman in her hand and felt ashamed. She had just thought about it in her mind, and her hand took out the talisman unconsciously, and her mouth called out her name unconsciously.
Calling her over has become a habit of my body.
