Gu Fuyou was drunk and acted more recklessly. She took Zhong Michu's hand, held it with both hands, and said with a smile: "I am a person who doesn't mind anything. I am grateful that Senior Sister didn't abandon me."
Zhong Michu glanced at her and said, "Gu Fuyou, you are drunk."
Gu Fuyou said: "Ah Man."
Zhong Michu: “…”
Gu Fuyou said: "Ah Man."
Zhong Michu sighed and said, "Ah Man, go back and have a rest."
Gu Fuyou smiled and said, "Who said I was drunk?" She raised her hand and pointed to the sky: "I can still see clearly where the North Star is, look."
"North Star is over there."
"I know, I did it on purpose."
"… "
Gu Fuyou completely regarded Zhong Michu's hand as his own and held it in his arms: "I used to like sitting on the roof and looking at the night sky and thinking about life. Is that stupid?"
"Not stupid."
Gu Fuyou giggled, seeming very happy. She looked up at the sky with wild eyes: "The North Star has always been there, guiding travelers and finding the way for thousands of years. Sometimes looking at it, I will be inspired by it. All the stars are gathered in the north. I want to be that kind of person, respected and loved by people. I want to achieve something, I want my father to look at me more. I want to refine my own spiritual sword, I want to leave my name in history, I want people to look at me with new eyes." Gu Fuyou spoke randomly, and said whatever she thought of, and she was relieved in one breath, turned around and said to Zhong Michu: "These things, Senior Sister Zhong can do it easily."
The Jindan Patriarch who is under a hundred years old and practices both internal and external cultivation is truly a genius second to none in the five continents and four seas.
Nowadays, there are very few monks with such talent in the world, and those who grow up are all influential figures. Such talented female monks, who stand out, can be easily found with just one finger.
I don’t know whether these girls are not interested in fame and fortune and live in seclusion to practice meditation, or are they willing to be the supporting roles behind their husbands.
I think most of them are the latter. People who cultivate immortality take away the fortune of the world and live forever. Perhaps it is because of the balance of heaven and earth that it is extremely difficult for people who cultivate immortality to conceive. If a woman has a child, when she is pregnant, the fetus absorbs nutrients, and the spiritual power in the mother's body is used to nourish him. The fetus is strong, but the mother's delivery is extremely difficult. For a female cultivator to give birth to a child is not only to lose a layer of flesh and blood, but also to lose a layer of cultivation.
In this world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected. Once a woman gets married and has children, her body will inevitably be damaged and her cultivation will decline, so the people in power in the clan have always been men. Although immortal cultivation is popular now, it is different from the ancient times, but there is still a trend of male superiority and female inferiority, but it is not as obvious as before.
Just like in the past and present, there are very few female leaders in the major sects. The Four Immortal Sects have not had a female leader, but the Xuanmiao Sect has had several female leaders. For example, those extraordinary women recorded by the author, happy and free, swordsmanship and travel the world. But the people are more interested in their romantic love and hatred, and do not pay attention to their exorcism of demons and the benefit of the people.
Gu Fuyou thought that Zhong Michu would become the head of the sect, become a great man, pass the calamity and ascend to heaven, and take Xuanmiao Sect to a higher level. His name would be recorded in the history books and remembered for thousands of years. She could not imagine that someone like Zhong Michu would be obsessed with love and resentment in the future, snuggling in the arms of a man, shy and foolish. She thought that Zhong Michu should be spotless, stepping on the wind and clouds, overlooking the world.
No one should restrain her.
She thought about the contract between her and him, which would eventually be broken. But she and him were so different that if the contract was broken, without this little bond, they would drift apart.
Gu Fuyou shook her head. Her body felt light but her head felt heavy. She staggered towards Zhong Michu.
"Gu Fuyou?"
Gu Fuyou insisted, "Ah Man." She felt her hands were sore from supporting herself on the roof, so she simply let go and threw herself into Zhong Michu's arms, "Senior Sister Zhong, I will treat you well in the future and I will listen to you in everything. Please don't undo the contract, okay? I want you to be by my side, watching me, always watching me."
Zhong Michu did not respond. Gu Fuyou buried his head in her arms. The soft and warm fragrance made her sleepy: "I don't care, you bit me, you have to be responsible for me..."
Her eyelids felt heavy, her consciousness sank, and she didn't care about anything else. She just wanted to fall asleep like this. She was unconscious of what she said later. When she woke up again, it was already dawn the next day. She sat on the bed, covering her head with both hands, and couldn't remember how she got back. She tried hard to recall, but her head hurt. She only remembered some fragments, that is, she asked Zhong Michu to talk to Yun Ran Xuanzun, but what he said was too straightforward. After that, everything was hazy.
"Ah..." Gu Fuyou moved her hands away, with a frightened expression on her face. She was only half drunk at that time, and her words were already rude. What would happen later
Gu Fuyou hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to Zhong Michu's room. Zhong Michu's door was wide open, and she walked in directly: "Senior Sister Zhong!"
Zhong Michu came out from behind the curtain and said, "You came just in time. I have something to tell you..." She saw Gu Fuyou with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, looked down and said, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Gu Fuyou asked, "Senior Sister Zhong, I was drunk yesterday. Did you take me back to my room?"
"yes."
Gu Fuyou asked nervously, "I didn't say anything nonsense, did I?"
"do not you remember?"
When Gu Fuyou heard her say this, she knew that she must have done something crazy. She said carefully: "I was drunk and confused at that time. If I acted crazy and stupid and offended you, I apologize to you. Please don't be angry."
Zhong Michu remained silent and did not answer. Gu Fuyou's heart was pounding: "Senior Sister Zhong..."
Zhong Michu said: "You didn't do anything wrong."
"real?"
"real."
Gu Fuyou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good." Then he remembered what Zhong Michu had said before and asked, "You said you had something to tell me, what was it?"
Zhong Michu said: "I want to go back to Xuanmiao Sect."
Gu Fuyou's face suddenly changed color, and she said, "Senior Sister Zhong, did I do something last night to make you unhappy?"
Zhong Michu shook his head and said, "You don't have to think too much, it's not like that. I've been out for too long, it's time to go back, otherwise it will make Master worried."
"So when are you going to leave?"
"today."
Gu Fuyou asked anxiously, "Are you so anxious?"
"There is no time to waste. I told your brother off yesterday."
"I originally wanted you to meet my father. I'm sure you'd be able to chat with him."
"There is ample time."
Gu Fuyou asked her to stay for two more times, but seeing that she was determined to leave, he did not say much. Zhong Michu said that she would leave today, and she would leave at noon. Gu Fuyou and Ah Fu accompanied her all the way to the outside of the city, and walked straight to the outside of the long pavilion. Zhong Michu summoned Gengchen and rode on the spirit sword: "You can go back."
Gu Fuyou sat on Ah Fu and said reluctantly, "I'll walk you a little further."
"We must say goodbye eventually, so go back. When you have visited your parents and returned home, we will see each other again."
Gu Fuyou was depressed and lowered his head. Zhong Michu called out, "Gu Fuyou."
Gu Fuyou said casually, "Ah Man." As soon as she said it, she was stunned for a moment, and a picture flashed in her mind. She suddenly looked up at Zhong Michu. Zhong Michu's eyebrows were slightly curved, and Geng Chen was gradually empty: "I will have a good talk with her after I go back. You should also calm down and open your heart to talk to your father. I'm leaving."
Gengchen turned and carried Zhong Michu away. Gu Fuyou just came back to his senses and shouted at her back: "Senior Sister Zhong, I will talk to my father. When I return to the sect, I will tell you the situation."
The sky was clear and the figure of Zhong Michu could no longer be seen. Ah Fu looked back and hummed softly, as if he was reluctant to leave. Gu Fuyou smiled and touched it, saying, "You will see her again when you return to the sect in a few days. Let's go back."
Ah Fu carried Gu Fuyou back to the City Lord's Mansion. Just after passing the reception hall, he saw Meihua's messenger leaving. Gu Fuyou walked in. Gu Shuangqing held the letter in his hand and asked with a smile, "Miss Zhong is gone?"
"Hmm. What is this?"
"A letter from Dad saying he'll be back in three days."
"Three days later. Ah, isn't it Dad's birthday?"
"You remember it clearly."
"I got a thousand-year-old longevity jade, and I just figured out a bracelet for a birthday gift."
"Longevity Jade, it's still a thousand years old, where did you get this good thing?" Although the Longevity Jade is just jade, it generates warmth all over. Such an old jade, when worn on the body, can not only calm the mind and enlighten the nature, but also dispel miasma.
"Hehe, my senior sister and I gambled on the raw stone, and we got a lot of other stuff."
"Haha, it turns out to be Miss Zhong. But you are thoughtful. Dad has always liked playing with jade, and this gift from you is exactly what he wants."
"Brother, I'm going to carve jade beads." After saying this, he ran out excitedly, coming and going like the wind.
Gu Shuangqing said, "Let the stone master in the mansion carve it, so that you won't damage it."
Gu Fuyou's voice came from afar: "I'm very good at it." Gu Shuangqing smiled and shook his head. When he picked up the letter in his hand and read it, he couldn't help frowning and sighing.
After three days, it was the birthday of the old city lord. In Xiaoyao City, family reunions were not popular during the Spring Festival. The annual birthday of the elders was the reason for the family reunion. Gu Wanpeng did not like extravagance, and he would not invite guests for the birthday party. He would just have a reunion dinner with the family. Even so, the mansion was busy with sweeping and burning incense. Gu Fuyou went to the kitchen and cooked with the chefs and made a few dishes.
Gu Huaiyou said: "Why is she in such a good mood today?"
Gu Shuangqing said, "She has bad intentions, and Dad is happy to see them. They can't quarrel as soon as they meet, after all, they are father and daughter. She and Dad have similar personalities, and they say some things without any scruples, which really hurts the enemy and hurts themselves."
Gu Huaiyou glanced at his brother and smiled bitterly, "There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that I haven't seen her looking forward to Dad's birthday like this for many years. I just hope Dad won't let her hope down. If she has to wait in vain, it would be better not to let her have any expectations in the first place."
"Hearing what you said, it seems like you are complaining. Ah Man is willful and doesn't want to understand. Don't you understand that Daddy is also in trouble. It's not that he doesn't want to come back, but he is too busy and can't get away."
"I know he is a very busy man and doesn't even have time to have a meal with his daughter."
Gu Shuangqing said with a smile: "What's wrong with you today? Are you possessed? I've never heard you speak in such a sarcastic way."
"Oh." Gu Huaiyou sighed deeply: "Seeing this scene, I just remember that when she was a child, she sat on the steps outside the door waiting for you two to come back." Gu Shuangqing choked and didn't speak for a long time.
As a result, Gu Huaiyou's words came true. When the moon was high above the willow branches, Gu Wanpeng had not yet returned. A subordinate came back to report that he was delayed on the way. Gu Shuangqing dismissed all the servants and only kept two servants. Gu Huaiyou glanced at Gu Fuyou's face and was about to comfort her, but she looked normal.
Gu Fuyou was looking at Yi'er and didn't notice Gu Huaiyou's gaze. Yi'er curled up in Lu Shiqing's arms, yawning and unable to open her eyes. Gu Fuyou said, "It seems that he won't be back for a while, and Yi'er is tired. Sister-in-law, take Yi'er back to rest first."
Yi Er said dazedly, "I also want to wish Grandpa a happy birthday."
Gu Fuyou sneered and said, "He always says he will be back at three o'clock in the morning, but he only arrives at five. Go to sleep. When Yi'er opens his eyes tomorrow morning, grandpa will be back."
"Really?"
"Can aunt still lie to you?"
She coaxed Yi'er to sleep, and Lu Shiqing carried him back to the room. She stretched and wanted to go back to the room, saying, "Brothers, I'm going to go back and rest too. I'm so sleepy."
Gu Shuangqing opened his mouth and said, "Ah Man, Dad has encountered some trouble."
Gu Fuyou curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "He has encountered problems every time. I find it strange that he is on time today." The past twenty years have been the busiest time for Gu Wanpeng. He is away from home all year round. He basically does not hold birthday parties, and if he does, he always returns after the due date.
The two brothers were speechless. Gu Fuyou was about to go back to the yard when he heard footsteps outside. Gu Shuangqing's eyes lit up and he said, "Dad is back!"
The group of people came, and the leader was Gu Wanpeng. He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to wait outside. He walked over and said to Gu Fuyou, "Come with me."
Gu Fuyou felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he didn't say anything. Seeing him come back, he was still happy in his heart and followed him into the house. The two brothers asked someone to warm up the wine. Gu Wanpeng sat down at the main seat and raised his hand and said, "No rush."
He said to Gu Fuyou, "I want to ask you, did you really kill Zuo Tianyi? How did you kill him? Tell me the whole story."
