Start the Counterattack

Oil-fried bean curd, mandarin fish, paper-wrapped chicken, stuffed tofu, braised pork with pickled vegetables...

On the dining table, each delicious dish exuded a tempting aroma, but no one who had just come out of the room was in a hurry to move their chopsticks.

Five golden flowers were busy saluting Lu Bogui, Shi Fenglan was introducing her new "mount" to Yu Manwen, and Yang Yang looked at Lu Bogui from a distance and kept rolling his eyes, as if he had thought of some crucial issue.

Meng Sipei felt inexplicably isolated, feeling like she was the only outsider in Fei Mansion.

Although a group of people have been staying in Feifu for a long time, they have hardly chatted because they have been in a state of "isolation". They don't even know that the other person is here, so it is understandable that they started chatting when they met.

But after exchanging greetings, they could no longer bear the "assault" of the aroma, and they all sat down at the wooden table, picked up their chopsticks, and started to eat.

"It's been a while since I tasted Beiran's cooking, so I'm sorry." After speaking, Lu Bogui picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. The smooth texture made him nod his head, "Beiran

Your skills are really getting better and better. If any junior sister can marry you, it will be her blessing."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

As soon as Lu Bogui said these words, the five golden flowers almost blushed, and they all agreed with Senior Brother Lu's statement in their hearts.

Shi Fenglan was thinking about something while biting a chicken leg.

"Senior brother was joking. He just did some random things, not worth mentioning."

Lu Bogui, who had long been accustomed to Jiang Beiran's modesty, smiled and shook his head, continuing to pick up the fish. However, when his eyes passed over the five golden flowers, he couldn't help laughing.

‘It’s really embarrassing for these junior sisters.’

Meng Sipei, who was eating the food, looked up at Jiang Beiran, who was toasting Lu Bogui, and suddenly understood something in his heart.

After being in contact with the master for so long, Meng Sipei has naturally observed a lot, so she is sure of one thing, that is, the master's attitude towards the senior brother named Lu is obviously different from that towards other people.

It was a kind of respect that came from the heart, and this kind of respect had never been shown even by the experts in the face of those Xuansheng.

'This senior brother... is not simple.'

Amid various thoughts, a table of delicious food was quickly wiped out.

"I'll wash the dishes."

"I'll clean the table."

"I'll clean up the stove."

Putting down their chopsticks, the three sisters of the Yu family put away the dishes very actively. Seeing this, the others were embarrassed to be idle and also stood up to help.

Seeing this, Jiang Beiran walked to the rocking chair and sat down, closed his eyes and began to relax.

Closing his eyes, the faces of Qing Ce and other disciples flashed through his mind. During this period, he was immersed in studying Xuanyi, so he had no time to think about anything else. But now that he was free, he couldn't help but worry.

Got up.

In fact, last time when Gu Liangqian told him that the Gu tribe's offensive had become more intense, he couldn't help but feel nervous, because this probably meant that one of the six countries had been completely defeated, or even two or three of them...

Jiang Beiran had foreseen this from the beginning. After all, the gap between the six countries was not big. If Tongguo was beaten to pieces, the other five countries would not be much better.

'Hold on...'

In addition to a few disciples, the faces of several old acquaintances from Sheng Kingdom also kept appearing in Jiang Beiran's mind.

Yin Jianghong, Guan Shian, Hall Master Zhang, Cheng Litang, Mu Yao, Qianqian...

Jiang Beiran originally thought that he could treat them all as tool men, but at this moment he realized that he still couldn't deceive him.

These people are all living lives. Since we have been together for so long, how can we really treat them as just names in memory.

"Zheng~"

Just as Jiang Beiran was getting more and more emotional, a burst of music suddenly sounded in his ears.

The music was very soft, as if it had the magic power to soothe people's soul, which made Jiang Beiran's worried mood ease a lot.

Jiang Beiran didn't open his eyes because he knew it must be the Five Golden Flowers playing.

'The triplets' phantom sounds are really getting better and better.'

As both masters of music theory, it is a thousand times more difficult to impress him with music than to impress ordinary people, but the music of the three sisters can easily resolve his sorrow, which is really remarkable.

'If you have talent, you are awesome.'

For a moment, Jiang Beiran thought of the ninth-grade mysterious musician Yu Yingqi.

'If these triplets are given to him to train, they should make rapid progress.'

Although Jiang Beiran has reached the pinnacle of playing musical instruments, he is not very high in [Xuanle], a skill that combines spiritual power with music.

So when making the Xuanyin Ring, I still asked Master Yu for a lot of advice.

'And since both of us have the surname Yu, it's kind of fate.'

The more Jiang Beiran thought about it, the more reliable it became, so he put the matter on the agenda.

As for now, let’s enjoy the comfort of this moment.

"Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran..."

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Beiran slowly opened his eyes amidst Shi Fenglan's shouts.

'I actually fell asleep?'

Jiang Beiran was a little surprised, but he soon felt that his mental state was very good, and he could be said to have rested very well.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan and asked.

"Those mysterious saints are knocking on the door."

Jiang Beiran nodded and realized that he had slept for a long time. He stood up and looked around. Jiang Beiran asked again: "Where are they?"

"Everyone has gone back to their rooms."

"Okay." Jiang Beiran nodded and activated the Sky Eye Formation.

'It seems that this person still can't sleep...'

Jiang Beiran made a statistics on the frequency of attacks by Gu cultivators. The most frequent attacks were at Si hour, then at noon, and occasionally at midnight, but there were Xuansheng patrol guards in Yuancheng at twelve o'clock.

Therefore, after several sneak attacks and found that the effect was not very good, the Gu cultivator's attacks were still mainly at Si hour and supplemented at noon hour.

That is to say, it is mainly during the day.

Regarding this point, Jiang Beiran has never thought about it. It stands to reason that since the Gu cultivators have surrounded Yuancheng and have an advantage in numbers, it will not be a problem to kill Xuansheng in Yuancheng with a wheel battle.

But in fact they didn't do that.

As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things go wrong. The Gu cultivator certainly did not give up his advantage for no reason. As for the reasons, Jiang Beiran also thought of a few reasons. The most likely one is that the Gu cultivator's self-recovery ability also has limits.

On the surface, Gu cultivators can still quickly recover to their original state after being bombarded indiscriminately, as if nothing happened.

But it is very likely that there is an upper limit to their ability to withstand attacks. Once this upper limit is reached, they will retreat and use some method to supplement this incredible self-recovery ability.

Considering that they always attack during the day and rest in the middle of the night, Jiang Beiran has reason to believe that the night must be more beneficial to their recovery.

Based on the above considerations, Jiang Beiran's combat ideas are very clear.

After dealing with the Gu cultivator's offensive during the day, take advantage of the Gu cultivator's rest time to launch a counterattack in the afternoon or night.

This is undoubtedly the most vulnerable time for Gu cultivators.

Therefore, at the end of the combat meeting, Jiang Beiran asked the Xuanshengs to have a good sleep tonight and recharge their batteries for tomorrow's high-intensity battle.

However, at this time, when the rooster was still preparing to crow, Gu Liangqian came running to find him.

Obviously I can't sleep.

Asking Shi Fenglan to invite Gu Liangqian into Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and saluted: "Senior Gu Liang."

Entering Fei Mansion, Gu Liangqian smiled and said: "Master Jiang, I know you think I shouldn't come to you now, but I really can't sleep. After much thought, I decided to come and chat with you."

While Gu Liangqian was talking here, Shi Fenglan suddenly pulled the hem of Jiang Beiran's clothes again, indicating that someone was "knocking on the door" again.

Open the celestial eye array and look outside.

It's Cao Jinghua.

Although Shi Fenglan spoke very quietly, how could it escape Gu Liangqian's ears, so he asked with a smile: "Hahaha, it seems that I am not the only one who can't sleep, who is here?"

"It's Senior Cao." Jiang Beiran said while motioning to Shi Fenglan to let him up.

After being teleported into Fei Mansion, Cao Jinghua was about to speak when he found Gu Liangqian standing in front of him.

"Hahaha, it seems that the Immortal Lord can't sleep either."

"Yes." Gu Liangqian nodded, "Come and have a chat with Master Jiang."

"I'm the same as you. I always feel very burned in my heart, so I thought of coming to Master Jiang to relieve my boredom."

'What are you doing? Do you want me to chat with you?'

As soon as he finished complaining, Jiang Beiran felt the hem of his clothes being pulled again.

‘You all made an appointment, right!?’

In the next half hour, nine Xuan Sages came up to Fei Mansion one after another. The reason was without exception that they couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with Jiang Beiran.
