Qingmu looked at Gao Yang silently, looking up and down, his eyes thoughtful.【】
He suddenly said: "Gao Yang, you have made it clear that you want me to be your backer."
Gao Yang didn't shy away from it either: "I'm not an elder. That's what I mean. If I don't show this relationship, others will think I have nothing. Otherwise, how dare Tie Yan make a mistake?"
Aoki frowned: "But I never want to cause trouble in Xuantian Sect, let alone get involved in this power struggle. I only care about my own cultivation, so Gao Yang, I can try my best to help you with your private affairs, but you
It's impossible for me to stand on the bright side."
Gao Yang nodded: "If Elder Qingmu says so, then I understand."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Aoki couldn't help shouting: "Hey, Gao Yang, stop!"
Gao Yang stopped but did not turn around: "What's wrong, elder, do you have anything else to say?"
Aoki snorted: "What did you mean just now? What do you mean you know? What are your plans?"
Gao Yang said calmly: "I haven't said it before. No matter who he is, I won't accept it. Before, I cared about your face, elder, and didn't want to make the matter too big. Now that you don't care,
Then I will be free from now on, at worst I will die, it is better to be vigorous than to suffer."
Bastard, you are trying to provoke me.
Qingmu is an old fox, how could he not hear the truth in Gao Yang's words? He just wants to force him to protect him.
Although he really didn't want to be blackmailed by Gao Yang, the thought that Gao Yang could contribute a seventh-grade spiritual grass to him every month was really a great temptation.
So he was actually a little tempted in his heart.
He took a deep breath and said: "Gao Yang, don't speak so righteously. If you are really not afraid of death, why should you be controlled by me? Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You just want me to cover you. I'm satisfied.
You, but have one request!”
He is really an old fox, not willing to suffer at all.
Gao Yang rolled his eyes and asked: "What conditions?"
Aoki's eyes lit up: "From now on, you must give me two seventh-grade spiritual grasses every month."
"Elder, are you talking like a lion?"
"Of course it doesn't count. I spared you from the previous tree, and now you want me to protect you. This naturally requires additional chips."
After weighing the pros and cons, it is naturally more cost-effective to get Aoki's protection in a short period of time.
Moreover, although the seventh-grade spiritual grass is rare for ordinary people, it is just ordinary for Gao Yang. After all, he has Xiaobai, so it is too easy to find the seventh-grade spiritual grass.
So this is not difficult for him.
The most important thing is that his strength will continue to improve, and he believes that it is not difficult for him to reach the spiritual realm. As long as his strength surpasses Aoki, or is equal to it, then he will no longer have to look at Aoki's color.
So Gao Yang said directly: "Two trees are two trees, Elder Qingmu. In return, I want to hold a grand opening ceremony for the store recently. I hope you will come and stand for me when the time comes."
Shop?
Aoki looked at him in surprise: "Gao Yang, you already have your own shop?"
Gao Yang smiled faintly: "That's right, it's a complex of a weapon refining shop and a treasure refining shop. It's called the Divine Weapon Lingbao Pavilion. When the time comes, we'll have to rely on Elder Aoki to come forward."
Aoki smiled bitterly: "You still say that I don't want to suffer. Aren't you smarter than me? I'm giving you a platform and I'm tied to you directly. I can't even take it off."
Gao Yang said as if nothing had happened: "Elder Qingmu, in business, we must be fair to each other, and fairness can only last long, isn't it?"
Qingmu waved his hand: "Okay, you don't have to reason with me anymore. Since I promised to protect you, I will definitely do it. Don't forget what you promised, Gao Yang, and give me the spiritual grass again."
Don’t make a mistake when speaking.”
Gao Yang smiled: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Aoki looked at him deeply, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Gao Yang's injury was not serious at first, but now that Qingmu left, he no longer had to look like nothing was wrong. His body went limp and he fell to the ground to recover from his injuries.
Xiaobai came over at some point and watched Gao Yang enter samadhi, guarding him quietly.
Not long after, Zhao Jing and others also came back.
They were very worried about Gao Yang, so they didn't go far at all. When they came back and saw Gao Yang sitting cross-legged in meditation, they knew he was healing his wounds.
Fang Yuan said at this time: "You can continue to practice, I will guard Brother Gao here."
Wang Qi immediately said: "What are you talking about, Xiao Yuan? You are still injured yourself. You should also recuperate here. Xiao Ma and I will guard here."
Zhao Jing said: "Although Tie Yan and the others are gone, who knows if others will come over and cause trouble. I think our training should end here. All of us are here waiting for Gao Yang and Fang Yuan."
Healing.”
Fang Yuan felt a little ashamed: "But if you delay your training because of us, this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Jing had already said seriously: "What about you and us? We are all classmates in Qiushui Villa. The friendship between classmates is nothing more than a small training session."
Fang Yuan was moved in his heart, but he also knew that what happened to Zhao Jing might be more because of Gao Yang.
Even Zhao Jing was not such a person before. Perhaps she changed because of Gao Yang when she said such words now. After all, Gao Yang really practiced these words with his words and deeds.
That's what he said, and that's what he did.
Perhaps it is this that really affects everyone.
After Zhao Jing finished speaking, Zhang Dong, Sun Hao, and Zhou Xu all expressed their willingness to guard here.
Wang Qi was also very excited. He was not stupid. Naturally, he knew that everyone's changes might be because of Gao Yang. He immediately said: "Okay, Xiao Yuan, heal your injuries quickly. If you feel sorry for yourself, just treat everyone to dinner tonight."
Fang Yuan used to be quite introverted and didn't communicate much with others. He felt alienated from everyone.
But now, seeing the camaraderie among everyone, his already blocked heart felt an urge to integrate into the group. He said without hesitation: "No problem, I'll treat you tonight."
After the agreement, he also entered meditation to heal his injuries.
Time passed quietly, and after two hours of recuperation, the injuries of both Gao Yang and Wang Qi had stabilized.
As soon as they opened their eyes, they found Wang Qi handing over two bowls of soup.
This surprised both of them.
Wang Qi didn't show off and explained with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, Xiaobai got this medicine. I'm just responsible for making soup for you. After all, I still have a lot of treasures in my storage bag. Drink it."
Well, your injuries will recover faster."
Gao Yang was well-informed, and when he saw the color of the soup, he knew that it was an herb called Xueling, which was very effective in treating internal injuries.
He glanced at Xiaobai gratefully.
But the guy just curled up under a tree, wagging his tail lazily, looking unconcerned.
Gao Yang was a little helpless, and drank the medicinal soup with Fang Yuan, and then said apologetically: "I originally wanted to take everyone to find some spiritual herbs today, but due to this delay, it was already dark, so we can only wait until next time. Let's go.
It’s time for us to go back and report.”
Fang Yuan had not forgotten about the treat, and said directly: "Brother Gao, everyone is worried about us today. I want to go out and treat everyone to a meal. When you get back, you and Teacher Xinyu will call after you return."
Teacher, let’s go together.”
This guy wants a treat?
Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "It's better for you to ask for it than for me to ask for it. Let's go, it's mine."
But Fang Yuan said stubbornly: "Brother Gao, I can leave everything else to you, but this time it is my intention. I am not only grateful to everyone, but also to you. How can I ask you to invite me? It has to be me."
Gao Yang had a certain understanding of Fang Yuan's temper, and he would never say a word if it didn't matter.
But once you persist, you must persist to the end.
So he hesitated for a moment and could only nod: "Okay, tonight is yours, let's go."
In this way, the group of them left the Sanwei Forest Area together. After returning to Baihu Peak, they passed the iron cable bridge to Qiushui Villa.
Xinyu is sitting quietly in the main hall meditating.
After opening the door, Gao Yang took the initiative to report on today's training status. As for the friction with Shenjian Villa, he also talked about it.
Seeing that no one was hurt, Xinyu felt relieved: "Gao Yang, today's training is quite satisfactory, but from now on everyone must remember that cultivators are most afraid of fighting, especially among fellow sects. If one person wants to
If you have lofty ideals, you must learn to be patient at the beginning. This time, Elder Aoki came forward. If not, where would this matter be today?"
Everyone thought Xin Yu was blaming Gao Yang, but Fang Yuan immediately stood up and said, "Teacher, Gao Yang's friction with Teacher Tie Yan was all because of me. If you want to blame me, blame me."
Wang Qi and others immediately explained: "Teacher, Shenjian Villa is bullying people too much, and we are being bullied."
Gao Yang waved his hand: "You don't need to say more. Master just cares about us. Elder Qingmu went there today only after being notified by Master. Although she did not show up, she was always worried about our safety."
Everyone was confused about what was going on. When they heard this, they couldn't help but look at Xin Yu meaningfully, and then they all said, "Teacher, we were wrong."
Xinyu said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as everyone is fine, it's getting late, so you can all go back."
Everyone stood still, then Gao Yang smiled and said: "Master, Xiao Yuan and I were injured today. Everyone is very worried and has been protecting us to heal our injuries. Xiao Yuan wants to express his gratitude as a representative and invites everyone to have a meal together."
Fan, you are our teacher, so of course we cannot do without you, come with us."
go together?
Xinyu has always had a calm personality. Although the world of cultivation has integrated with modern society, she rarely goes out to participate in group activities. Therefore, she was a little surprised when she heard this. She shook her head: "It's better not to go. You guys can be more relaxed."
Gao Yang immediately said: "Master, this is everyone's wish. If you don't go, our Qiushui Villa, as a collective, will feel like something is missing." []
