On the street opposite Liuren Mansion, there was a small fox chariot parked.
An exquisite and petite girl stood on the small chariot, blinked her eyes and looked at Liuren Mansion, and let out a surprised exclamation.
"It turns out that this guy is Gu Qingfeng, Master Chiyan, who has become very famous recently."
The girl curled her lips and said with some disappointment: "Since I came out of seclusion, the name I've heard the most is him. His identity is mysterious and his strength is weird. I thought he was so powerful. It doesn't look like anything special, right? He's very ordinary.
A person who doesn't even have the breath of nature's colorful spirits..."
The girl murmured and asked again: "Sister, what do you think?"
A solemn and doubtful voice came from the small carriage: "I can't understand, I can't see through, I can't understand, I can't see anything..."
"ah?"
This was the first time that the girl heard her sister commenting on a person like this and said: "Is it because my sister thinks too much? You can't see anything. It's normal, because he has nothing."
After a pause, he continued: "If someone like him has no special spiritual energy and his strength is too weird, then there is only one possibility. He is lucky and has had some adventures. Maybe it is just like the rumors, and he is just an accidental encounter.
It's just a small upstart. After the catastrophe, everything revives, and adventures are everywhere. There are also many small upstarts who have accidental encounters like this in the Sifang Region."
"He is different and not."
Um?
The girl really didn't understand this time and asked: "Why did my sister say that? I don't think he is any different. He has to have temperament and no temperament. It's not like you didn't see this guy sitting or not when we were in the restaurant just now."
, he is careless, his actions reveal a kind of frivolity and laziness, he is worse than an ordinary dandy, so what if he is not a young upstart."
The girl recalled the figure of the man in white just now, and continued: "However, there is one thing about him that is different from those young upstarts who occasionally meet by chance. Most of those people like to wear various expensive and rare spiritual treasures to show off themselves.
, and he seems to have nothing on him, not even an ordinary jade pendant... This kind of young upstart is rare."
"Xiao Lian, my sister has told you many times, never look at people by their superficial appearance."
The voice coming from the small chariot was a little cold, but more of a doubt: "Some frivolity is not frivolity, and some laziness is not laziness. Perhaps it is a kind of arbitrary and detached person, who will eventually return to his original nature, his essence, and his fundamentals."
I don’t care about worldly opinions.”
"Sister, you wouldn't say that guy's state of mind has long been otherworldly, right?"
"Whether it is or not, we will know if we find a chance to try it."
…
Liuren Mansion, in the garden.
Mr. Shi Tong repeatedly expressed his apology for what happened in Renxu, lamenting that he had failed to teach well, and his words were full of self-blame and helplessness.
In response, Gu Qingfeng just smiled and indicated that he understood.
He has seen a lot of this kind of thing. There are many in this world, even in the heavenly realm. Many of the elders have noble conduct, but instead of inheriting the fine traditions, their descendants are all arrogant and domineering.
Cultivation does not last for years, and a retreat can last for as little as a few years, or as long as decades or hundreds of years.
When they left seclusion, their sons may have already had grandchildren, and they may have missed the teachings from their childhood. Once their character is developed, it will be difficult to change it in the future. There are also some seniors who have suffered too much in the past and do not want their descendants to live the same life again.
Life was hard, so he was pampered and pampered freely, raising his descendants to be arrogant and arrogant.
Why do some families and sects that have been inherited since ancient times easily produce noble sons?
That's because they have a profound foundation and a long history. They know how to cultivate and teach their children and grandchildren so that they can be passed on from generation to generation.
If there is no deep foundation, it will be difficult for either the sect or the family to pass it on.
Gu Qingfeng and Mr. Shi Tong were sitting in the pavilion in the garden, drinking tea and talking.
Compared with more than 400 years ago, the old man did not seem to have changed much. He was still so upright, so kind, and had a stronger sense of responsibility. Especially when the centenary period of the Jiuhua Alliance was mentioned, the old man looked worried.
sigh.
"I heard that the old man established the Four-Party Alliance to compete with the Jiuhua Alliance?"
Gu Qingfeng held the teacup, took a sip, and shook his head. He liked drinking, but he didn't like drinking tea. After practicing for five hundred years, he drank tea only a few times. There was no reason, but he simply didn't like it.
"The Sifang Society does exist, but it was not created by me. I am only temporarily serving as an elder. As for competing..." Mr. Shi Tong twirled the white beard on his chin and said seriously: "If the Sifang Society exists for the purpose of fighting against
There is nothing wrong with the Jiuhua Alliance to compete, but this is not the purpose of the Four-Party Association."
Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say that?"
"Now that the centenary period is coming, the Jiuhua Alliance will definitely take action by then. To be honest, the Northwest Territory is not peaceful. It has always been the case. Even without the Jiuhua Alliance, there will be other major forces who want to rule the four directions. This
It’s inevitable.”
Mr. Shi Tong stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating to Gu Qingfeng to drink tea, and then said: "If the Jiuhua Alliance wants to rule the Sifang Region, it is not impossible, but it must ensure the safety of the Sifang Region. This is the prerequisite, and the resources paid are also limited.
You can’t have too many people, let alone interfere in the affairs of various sects. This is the purpose of the Four Directions Association.”
Gu Qingfeng nodded, almost understanding. Listening to what the old man said, the Sifang Association was prepared to negotiate with the Jiuhua Alliance on behalf of the major sects in the Sifang Region. They agreed to these demands and allowed the Jiuhua Alliance to rule. If they did not agree, the Sifang Association would definitely protect their homeland.
And fight.
"Okay, count me in."
When he came, Huo De said that the old man wanted to invite him to join the Sifanghui. During the conversation just now, Gu Qingfeng could tell that the old man had this intention. In this case, he agreed.
"this……"
Mr. Shi Tong couldn't help but be stunned. He went to Yunxia Sect in person a few days ago and really wanted to invite Gu Qingfeng to join the Sifanghui, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingfeng agreed before he even opened his mouth.
Although the old man couldn't see through Gu Qingfeng, based on nearly two thousand years of experience, he knew that the young man in front of him must not be simple, and might even be more incredible than he imagined.
That's why he went there in person, and he was not absolutely sure that he could be convinced. He was worried that Gu Qingfeng would be attracted by the Jiuhua Alliance. When he thought about it, even if he couldn't persuade Gu Qingfeng to join the Sifang Alliance, he must at least be persuaded to remain neutral.
But the old man never expected that Gu Qingfeng agreed without even finishing his words.
"Master, don't rush to agree. This matter is of great importance and may even put your life in danger. I hope you will consider it carefully."
"Don't think about it."
"this……"
The old man looked startled, then immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Young Master is indeed a great virtue. On behalf of all the sects in the four directions, I would like to thank you very much."
"Dade? Haha..."
Gu Qingfeng suddenly burst out laughing. After laughing, he just toasted the old man with tea instead of wine.
When he smiles, he laughs at the word "great virtue".
Because he felt that the two words himself and Dade were really two parallel lines, and there was no possibility of any intersection.
The reason why he agreed.
It’s not because the Sifanghui exists to fight for the various sects, let alone the Sifanghui fights for the various sects. Even if it fights for the world, Gu Qingfeng doesn’t bother to pay attention to it.
Usually as long as the matter does not involve him, even if the sky is falling, he doesn't bother to take a look.
He was lonely since he was a child. He wandered on the streets when he was young. When he grew up, he lived with his head raised all day long. He knew that life was not easy. In this world, he was judged by immortals and demons, ascended to heaven and was judged by heaven. How could he have any noble character?
How can we have the consciousness to sacrifice ourselves for everyone?
No, not from the beginning.
Gu Qingfeng was just a vulgar person, a vulgar person who couldn't be more vulgar. Not to mention his noble moral character, he never even considered himself a good person. More often, he regarded himself as a bad person.
The reason why I agreed this time was just because the other party was invited by Mr. Shi Tong, nothing more.
