Chapter 253 - Shuangyun Hall



Chapter 253 - Shuangyun Hall

The secluded disciple’s air of arrogance towered like the clouds. After getting on the Martial Prowess Platform, he didn’t waste many words with that Chongyun Sect disciple. On the spot, his hand grasped a longsword, and they began fighting.

For a moment, there were flashes of sabers and shadows of swords. Qi energies surged on, and the lights gleamed coldly. During the exchange, the fighting became extremely fierce.

At the same time, several gusts of strong wind blew over from far away, bringing along powerful and imposing auras. Each gust landed in an area close to the Martial Prowess Platform.

This grabbed people’s attention, and they looked over. There were two men and two women. The men had heroic and soldierly appearances, and the women were remarkably beautiful.

The feelings that they gave others were unlike that of many Qingyun Sect disciples. It was as if they were individuals of an even higher standing. They also bore a type of extremely formidable self-confidence.

These were great geniuses with exceptional potential who were under the care of numerous Grand Elders and extremely strong Elders. Because they were in secluded cultivation all year round, not many people had seen their true identities. However, the high-status disciples who could get in touch with the core were all aware of the existences of such individuals.

The secluded disciples enjoyed the limitless benefits of the Sect, so it was inevitable that they would fight for the honor of the Sect at the crucial moment!

Gu Zuo only glanced at that side. After roughly committing their appearances to memory, he continued to act like a good younger brother, and paid attention to his dear big brother.

He silently transmitted with Gongyi Tianheng.

[Big brother, what are we going to do now?]

On the outside, Tianheng seemed to be enduring countless sufferings, but his transmitted voice was leisured and unhurried.

[Ah Zuo, just say that you’ll take me back to rest.]

Gu Zuo was somewhat surprised.

[Doesn’t big brother want to stay here to watch the skills of those secluded disciples?]

Tianheng’s gaze moved slightly.

[This moment isn’t a good opportunity. In all likelihood, I’ll certainly get another chance to spar with those secluded disciples after today.]

Gu Zuo thought it over, and agreed.

Now that his big brother had secured this kind of face for Qingyun Sect, Tianheng’s treatment in the future would definitely be different. On top of that, with the trade of his psychic power method and so on, the importance that the Sect attached to his big brother ought to be even more distinctive. Rather than dragging around a “seriously injured body”, it was better to leave in advance. This was to avoid giving the impression that Tianheng was holding on too comfortably, and arousing suspicions.

As for those secluded disciples, his big brother should get many chances to contact the other party.

After making such a decision, Gu Zuo spoke to Xi Yangyun: “Senior Sect Brother Xi, since there are already secluded seniors taking responsibility for this place, I’ll be taking my big brother back to recuperate… It’s very crowded and complicated here. It’s not quiet and definitely not suitable for my big brother’s rest.”

After hearing these words, Xi Yangyun promptly withdrew his attention. He said with deep concern: “Junior Sect Brother Gu’s words are reasonable. With Junior Sect Brother Gongyi like this, it’s better to leave this place for somewhere more appropriate. How about this? I’ll call on a few people to escort you two back, so that Junior Sect Brother Gongyi can heal in peace.”

Gu Zuo said at once: “This couldn’t be better. Many thanks, Senior Sect brother Xi.”

But after Xi Yangyun thought about it some more, he suddenly said: “Wait a moment. I overlooked something.”

Gu Zuo looked at him in puzzlement.

Xi Yangyun plainly said: “Junior Sect Brother Gongyi has greatly obstructed Chongyun Sect. That Chongyun Sect is also accustomed to using contemptible means. If they discover this matter, they may try to find an excuse to make trouble for Junior Sect Brother Gongyi.”

In his opinion, although Tianheng had formed a team, they hadn’t been nurtured into true experts. It wouldn’t be enough if they were to undertake the responsibility of protecting Tianheng while he was weakened.

Xi Yangyun continued: “It’s better that I ask Junior Sect Brother Gongyi to go to my Shuangyun Hall to recuperate. This is also to avoid…”

Gu Zuo was conflicted: “Many thanks for the kindness, Senior Sect Brother Xi, but Chongyun Sect wouldn’t go so far as to do anything while we’re inside the Sect, right?”

Xi Yangyun’s expression was somewhat unsightly: “Common sense says that they wouldn’t, but if that one in a million chance actually happens, then it’ll be too late for regrets. Now that Chongyun Sect’s face is damaged, even if the higher-ups know how to handle things, those young and conceited Chongyun Sect disciples might not necessarily be capable of remaining calm.”

Gu Zuo was silent.

Because he felt that this world had all kinds of people. It really wasn’t impossible for Xi Yangyun’s notion to occur. Although he had psychic power and was confident that he could protect his big brother, confidence sometimes had no use whatsoever. In the end, he was still just one person… When things came to a head, Gu Zuo couldn’t let his big brother expose the reality that he hadn’t been wounded the entire time, right?

After that, Gu Zuo looked at Tianheng.

Tianheng nodded to him meaningfully.

Hence, Gu Zuo just said: “In that case, many thanks for your hospitality, Senior Sect Brother Xi.”

Immediately following which, Xi Yangyun ordered a few of his own subordinates to come over. Among the disciples he called, there were two Xiantian stage nines as well as an Immortal Realm martial artist. This kind of lineup was very powerful. Under normal circumstances, that would certainly be able to deliver two people to Shuangyun Hall.

Gu Zuo saw this, and also set aside his worries. Soon after, he hesitated before reaching out and supporting Tianheng to stand up. Then, Gu Zuo…carried Tianheng on his back.

Yes. Gu Zuo carried Tianheng on his back — It was only natural that he couldn’t let others do it. Otherwise, who knew whether the person who carried Tianheng would discover that his big brother’s qi and blood was so exuberant? Moreover, he also felt that he himself was a dignified man with great strength. This was no problem at all.

It was just that it was a little bit embarrassing.

This bit of embarrassment was due to the fact that…he wasn’t tall enough.

Tianheng was almost a full head taller than him. Speaking of which, both he and his big brother were still at the growing age, but the differences in their heights hadn’t once changed.

If it was Tianheng carrying him, then there naturally weren’t any problems. They fitted together very well. But now it was him carrying Tianheng. Originally, Tianheng was a head taller than him. Tianheng’s legs were currently being supported by his hands, but the guy’s legs were long. It still gave the feeling that Tianheng’s legs would drag along the ground at any moment.

This picture looked very strange.

Gu Zuo’s face reddened: “Big brother, don’t take offense…”

Tianheng laughed in a low voice: “En, I don’t mind.” Then, he said in a soft voice, “Ah Zuo’s working hard.”

The ones who felt that this was odd wasn’t just Gu Zuo himself. Xi Yangyun and several others felt this way, too. However, they didn’t say anything. Granted that he was a pharmacist, he also possessed the strength to carry a fully-grown man on his back. The adoptive brothers were very close, and it was unnecessary for others to cut into the conversation.

Following this, Gu Zuo and Tianheng bade farewell to Xi Yangyun and company. Then, they followed those three martial artists who were protecting them, and travelled straight to Shuangyun Hall.

Not much time passed as Gu Zuo gently carried Tianheng to that palace hall.

A girl with a peerless appearance came out while carrying some fragrant tea to receive these two unexpected guests.

Among the three martial artists, the one with the fastest lips quickly explained the situation to Xi Shuangyun. She gave a slight smile: “We’re also friends. Senior Sect Brother Gongyi and Senior Sect Brother Gu, I will make arrangements for the both of you on behalf of my big brother. These three Senior Sect Brothers bear a key task. Quickly go back and assist my big brother.”

After she finished speaking, the three martial artists departed. Then, Xi Shuangyun repeatedly made commands, ordering the powerhouses who managed Shuangyun Hall to stay vigilant. During this period of time, they couldn’t allow even a housefly to sneak into Shuangyun Hall.

Soon after, Xi Shuangyun used her quick and melodious voice to set up the area where Tianheng would recuperate. It was a small hall in the back. The environment was quiet and secluded. No one would disturb them, and it was very comfortable.

The present Xi Shuangyun was no longer that sickly and pallid girl. As the younger sister of Xi Yangyun, no matter how delicate she outwardly appeared, she also possessed abilities that weren’t lacking.

Naturally, Gu Zuo expressed his thanks to Xi Shuangyun on behalf of his “weakened” big brother. As he carried Tianheng, they arrived at that side hall. In a smooth and steady manner, he placed Tianheng down on a soft couch.

Xi Shuangyun spoke in a gentle voice: “If Senior Sect Brother Gu doesn’t dislike it, this little sister can manage everything you need for Senior Sect Brother Gongyi’s recovery.” She looked at Gu Zuo’s somewhat uneasy expression, and laughed, “Senior Sect Brother Gu doesn’t need to worry. Whether it’s Senior Sect Brother Gu or Senior Sect Brother Gongyi, this little sister has no way to listen to your inner thoughts. I won’t be a hindrance to my two seniors…”

Gu Zuo reacted, and promptly said: “I didn’t mean this.”

However, he indeed have his guard up before. Afterwards, he still had his guard up.

But in the end, were Xi Shuangyun’s words true or false?

Xi Shuangyun had nothing else to say. After she asked for a list of things that Gu Zuo needed, she turned around and went out of the palace hall’s entrance.

Meanwhile, Gu Zuo paused, and raised a question to the system.

[Is the Heavenly Heart Body incapable of listening to the thoughts of big brother and myself?]

The system’s answer was especially straightforward.

[Obtaining an answer requires the deduction of one hundred strands of medicinal qi. Will the host continue this inquiry?]

Gu Zuo was speechless. Ah, the price went up.

But Gu Zuo still nodded resolutely.

The system answered decisively.

[The medicinal qi has been deducted. Yes.]

Gu Zuo: “…”

A single word for a hundred strands of medicinal qi. It really was quite expensive.

However, Gu Zuo’s trust in the system was still very high. Since the other party said that Xi Shuangyun’s words were truthful, then they probably were.

Merely, he didn’t understand. Why was this the case? He recalled the distinctive features of the Heavenly Heart Body. It was only said that it consumed a lot to listen to those of a higher realm, and that if the other side was stronger, they could shield themselves. No other conditions were mentioned.

As a result, Gu Zuo asked the system another question.

[Why is she unable to hear our thoughts?]

The system appeared to pause.

[The host’s authority is insufficient, and cannot inquire.]

Gu Zuo was truly…dumbfounded.

Off to the side, Tianheng saw that Gu Zuo’s eyesight had drifted for split second, and realized that he was probably communicating with the system. At this time, he looked at Gu Zuo’s strange expression, and couldn’t help laughing: “Ah Zuo, what’s wrong?”
