Nie Xiaolou returned to the Hehuan Sect and started her career in the furnace. With her spiritual roots, beautiful appearance and slim figure, as well as the charming skills of the Hehuan Sect, her journey to find the furnace went smoothly, and her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
.
Until she met Gu Shuo, she found that her road to the furnace, which had always been smooth sailing, had encountered difficulties.
In fact, she still has a choice. She can leave Gushuo and find a new and smooth furnace.
However, the more she saw Gu Shuo's power, the more she saw Gu Shuo's calmness and calmness, the more she saw Gu Shuo's distance from her, the more she wanted to use Gu Shuo as a cauldron.
Not only could Gu Shuo improve her cultivation level by leaps and bounds, but it also gave her a sense of pleasure in conquering the strong.
Don't think that the Hehuan Sect doesn't need to hone their mental state. They need it all the same. Their whetstone is the furnace!

"Okay, there's no problem anymore. She was only injured by your sword intention. Fortunately, it was just a piece of writing. It didn't hurt her badly. I've already groomed her, and then I gave her this elixir.
It’s restored.”
Hua Jieyu took out a pill and stuffed it into Nie Xiaolou's mouth. Gu Shuo frowned slightly and nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you this time. You know, Nie Xiaolou is a woman. It's not convenient for me to help her groom it."
…I’m disturbing your retreat.”
Hua Jieyu glanced at the soup bowl placed on the table, with a strange look in her eyes, then waved her hands and walked out of the room with light steps.
Gu Shuo walked slowly to the table, looked down at the soup bowl on the table, frowned slightly. After a while, he let out a long breath.
"There's something wrong with this woman..."
Nie Xiaolou woke up, her muscles tensed due to the habitual vigilance, and then she realized that she was lying on a bed. She opened her eyes carefully and saw a familiar room.
This is Gu Shuo's room.
She closed her eyes, her mind still a little groggy, as if she had had a long dream, dreaming about memories that she had hidden deep in her memory and never wanted to think about. She opened her eyes again, and there was a ringing sound in her ears.
The sound of pen and ink scratching on paper.
She remembered that she had been attacked by the words, felt her physical condition, and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and saw Gu Shuo's back.
It’s just a picture of words!
He can hurt himself to this extent. If I can turn him into my cauldron, my cultivation will surpass the spiritual consciousness mist and enter the spiritual consciousness liquid in one fell swoop, right?
Her heart suddenly became hot!
The chirping of cicadas came from the high trees along with the sound of wind. The room was a little quiet. What could be heard was the rustling of Gu Shuo's writing. Although the sound was very weak, it was heard very clearly in the monk's ears.
Then……
No sound!
She knew that Gu Shuo had sensed her awakening, and she knew that the degree of recovery from her injuries could not be concealed from Gu Shuo, who had successfully left her body. However, she did not know whether her injuries were treated by Gu Shuo?
probably?
She decisively sat up from the bed, then heard footsteps and raised her head to see Gu Shuo walking towards her.
"What's wrong with me?"
"You were hurt by the murderous intention in my words, but I have asked Hua Jieyu to sort it out for you, and I also gave you the pill. You should be fine tomorrow."
"I... didn't mean to look... I made soup for you..."
"I know, the soup is delicious..."
Nie Xiaolou's eyes lit up: "Then I understand..."
"You don't have to make soup for me anymore."
"Why... why?" Nie Xiaolou had a shy and embarrassed look on her face. The wind blew through the window and across the room, blowing her hair up, revealing her slender white neck.
She sat on the bed and looked up at Gu Shuo.
Gu Shuo said with a gentle expression: "I am in a state of mind now, and I need to refine my state of mind. It is best to avoid foreign objects and forget about both objects and myself."
"I...I understand." Nie Xiaolou bit his lip, lowered his head, and said softly: "Captain, do you hate me?"
"How could it be! We are also comrades who have fought side by side."
Nie Xiaolou suddenly raised his head, staring at Gu Shuo who was very close with his pure eyes: "Then why can't you accept me to join the Great Wilderness Team?"
Gu Shuo pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "Your strength is a little low. We have to go deep into the realm of the demon clan and kill the demon monks who are beyond your strength. This is not only a dangerous issue for you, but also
Also, you won’t get any training at all, which is not good for you. You should find a team with the same strength as you, so that you won’t go deep, and the demon monks you face will also have the same level of cultivation as you.”
"That's not the case. Xue Ling said that when he joined the Great Wilderness Team, he only had Xu Dan's cultivation, which was not as good as mine."
Gu Shuo is silent!
Nie Xiaolou got out of bed and stood opposite Gu Shuo, looking up into Gu Shuo's eyes: "You just don't trust me, even if I work as hard as the other team members, even if I block the demon clan's attack with my body for Xue Ling
, you still don’t trust me. I won’t bother you anymore, I’m leaving!”
Nie Xiaolou's face was full of grievances, tears welled up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to fall. He rushed past Gu Shuo and ran towards the door.
Gu Shuo turned around and grabbed her wrist: "Listen to me..."
"I won't listen!"
"It's not what you think……"
"I won't listen, I won't listen!" Nie Xiaolou struggled for a few times, turned back to look at Gu Shuo, tears had flowed out, his face was full of grievances, and he struggled more fiercely with his hands, choking and saying:
"Anyway, it's just wishful thinking on my part. Anyway, I've reached a higher level. Now I can't do it anymore. Let me go..."
Gu Shuo did not let go: "This is all your own imagination, not what I said..."
"But what I say is from your heart...let me go..."
"It's really not that I don't trust you, and I didn't drive you away..."
"I don't want to join now, okay? Can you let me go..."
A headache appeared on Gu Shuo's face, and Nie Xiaolou over there struggled even more fiercely. She turned around and ran, bending down and running, but Gu Shuo held her arm and kept her on the spot.
After running for more than ten steps, she was still in the same place. She suddenly turned around and threw herself into Gu Shuo's arms. She buried her head on Gu Shuo's chest and cried. Gu Shuo let go of his hand holding her wrist.
, patted her back gently. Nie Xiaolou suddenly raised his hands, pushed Gu Shuo's chest, turned around and ran out.
Gu Shuo still had a headache look on his face until Nie Xiaolou disappeared completely. The headache look disappeared from his face, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.
night.
Gu Shuo's figure quietly appeared outside the door of Zhong Qinghua's room. The door opened with a creak. Zhong Qinghua stood inside the door and looked at Gu Shuo. Gu Shuo said softly:
"improvement?"
Zhong Qinghua shook her head and said with a smile: "No, come in."
Gu Shuo walked in, closed the door, and the two of them took their seats. Gu Shuo took out the formation plate and isolated the inside and outside. Zhong Qinghua's expression became solemn and she looked at Gu Shuo.
Gu Shuo took out a jade bottle from the storage ring, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Zhong Qinghua:
"You are Aoki Aoi, good at identifying poisons. Take a look."
Zhongqinghua's expression condensed, she opened the lid of the jade bottle, put the Aoki Secret into the jade bottle, and then raised her head:
"It's not poisonous! What is this?"
"Nie Xiaolou made the soup for me."
Zhongqinghua's expression became strange: "You two..."
Gu Shuo rolled his eyes: "You didn't find anything?"
Zhong Qinghua's expression became serious: "Her aura is very mixed."
Gu Shuo said: "If the breath is mixed, the mind will be mixed!"
"You mean...she has ulterior motives?"
"Hmm! There's no reason to make soup for me. I've always kept a distance from her. I even said that the Dahuang team would not accept her."
"Maybe...she is Mu Qiang. She wants to stay in the Dahuang team. Maybe she likes you."
"Are you kidding me?" Gu Shuo said dumbfounded: "When we first came into contact with each other at the foot of Qidaoling, I showed my rejection of her joining the Dahuang team, and Dugu Jiandan's team took the initiative to accept her. At that time
I am not as famous as Dugu Jian Gu, right?
In the eyes of others, I am just a five-year-old who makes up the numbers. But she just rejected Dugu Jiandan's team and wanted to join us in the wilderness.
Is this Mu Qiang?
I have never been in contact with her before. Do you think she rejected Dugu Jiandan's team because she liked me and wanted to join us in the wilderness?
I already had my doubts at that time."
"Then you still take her in?"
Gu Shuo frowned: "I always have to figure out who my real enemy is? I think she should be approaching me intentionally, and she and I have never met before. There is no reason for her to be so close to me on her own.
, there must be a force behind me that is targeting me, and I want to find out."
"Zhou family, Chen family? Or something else?"
A trace of restlessness appeared in Gu Shuo's heart, and the calmness he had gained through writing in recent days began to rise again. He took a breath, suppressed the restlessness, and frowned for a moment and thought:
"There are only three forces that I have offended that want me dead. The Zhou family, the Chen family and the Yao clan."
"Monster clan?" Zhong Qinghua was surprised.
"I don't rule out this possibility! You know, there are also a large number of human monks in the demon clan. They are mainly focused on the demon clan. I have already joined the Heavenly Demon Order. If the forces behind Nie Xiaolou belong to the demon clan, I would not be surprised.
.By the way, can you use your sect’s power to help me investigate Nie Xiaolou?”
Zhong Qinghua frowned: "Her cultivation level is too low. The sect should not have any information about her. However, we should be able to investigate. I will go to the sect's current residence in Canglang City and I should be able to provide
You brought back some news."
Speaking of this, Zhong Jiajie laughed happily: "Actually, ever since Nie Xiaolou suddenly appeared at the foot of Qidaoling and firmly refused other teams to join the Dahuang team, I have already had doubts. Now you
Being able to always have doubts about Nie Xiaolou means that you are not only highly skilled, but also have unlimited potential..."
He raised his finger and pointed at his head: "Your wisdom also reassures me that you are an excellent captain."
Gu Shuo smiled. In fact, he had always been vigilant about everything, not only for himself, but also for the Dahuang team.
The Great Wilderness Team is the foundation for him to realize his dream in the future, and he does not allow anyone to harm anyone in the Great Wilderness Team.
Zhong Qinghua's gaze became profound: "How will you respond until the truth about Nie Xiaolou is not investigated, or cannot be investigated at all?"
"Excellent acting skills!"
"Excellent acting skills?"
"It's just her acting out in front of me to see who really gets into the act and can't get out."
Zhong Qinghua gave Gu Shuo a thumbs up.
Gu Shuo returned to his room, picked up his pen and sighed in his heart.
After all, it is a large sect. If you want to investigate a small golden elixir, you can also get information. If this matter is left in your own Qingyun Sect, there is no way to get information. Gu Shuo's heart was moved.
That does not work!
If Qingyun Sect wants to develop, it must have information channels. Even if it cannot be as detailed as the four major sects, it must pay attention to the situation of Tianxuan Continent, information on key sects and characters, and be able to obtain emergency information in a timely manner.
information.
For example, ruins suddenly appear somewhere, treasures are revealed, etc.
I have to sort it out and let Xue Ling take it back to the sect and hand it over to Brother Wushuang.
He raised his head, and then his spiritual consciousness spread out. He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Nie Xiaolou coming out of the room and walking towards the door.
He pondered for a moment, quickly changed into a robe, and walked out. Seeing Nie Xiaolou's back from a distance, he took out a bamboo hat from the storage ring and put it on, took back his spiritual consciousness, and merged into
He ignored the crowd and only observed Nie Xiaolou with the corner of his eye.
Nie Xiaolou walked along the street, seemingly aimlessly. He seemed to be in a bad mood and just came out to relax. From time to time, he entered a shop, but he didn't stay there for long, and then continued to wander aimlessly on the street.
More than two-quarters of an hour later, she arrived in front of a shop. This time she did not go in, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the corner of the shop, where there were several drawings. Nie Xiaolou's footsteps were not constant.
He stopped, kept his speed, and walked past the shop. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Nie Xiaolou seemed tired, so he turned around and returned.
Gu Shuo walked to the other side of the street and passed by Nie Xiaolou. Then he walked to an alley and ducked in. After passing the alley, he walked towards the courtyard he rented from the other direction.
, he returned to the door of his room in an instant, walked into the room, put away the bamboo hat, changed his clothes, picked up the brush, but did not write, but frowned and thought.
He recalled every tiny movement of Nie Xiaolou in his mind, but in the end he sighed slightly.
He always felt that Nie Xiaolou must have a purpose when he went out this time, but Nie Xiaolou had absolutely no contact with anyone else. He was monitoring him all the way and there would be no mistakes. As for now that he has returned to the room, Nie Xiaolou is here
Will he come into contact with people on the way back? He thinks the possibility is not impossible, but very small.
He always felt that Nie Xiaolou should have done something when he went out this time, but he didn't find out. After all, he only saw Nie Xiaolou's back, missing her face, expression, or the direction of her gaze.
.
"Wait for me, senior brother."
"rustle……"
Gu Shuo started writing again, one after another, and his mood gradually became calmer.
There were footsteps outside the door. Gu Shuo recognized Nie Xiaolou's footsteps and returned to her own room after hearing her footsteps. Gu Shuo thought for a while, it was Nie Xiaolou who took the initiative. Did he also take the initiative?
once?
If you want to know Nie Xiaolou's purpose, you can't remain passive.
