338. Neither Nor Man (7)
Gao Ran didn't care about Amu's questioning, just because, in fact, even she didn't know what the consequences would be?—— for unpredictable things, it was better to learn to be flexible and take advantage of the situation than to spend energy to prevent everything. - At least, for those unpredictable things, especially the general trend that is difficult to see clearly, Gao Ran knows very well that he is just a drop in the ocean in it. If you want not to sink, you can only drift along the way.
"You ask me, and I don't know. Gao Ran smiled innocently, "Although the disciples of this sect are all practicing the same internal strength and mental method, just like the tread patterns on our arms are always different, the impact and effect of our same degree of internal force in different people's bodies are also different. However, the enhancement of the five senses, which is the most basic one, is something that we all share. What's more, based on my past close observations of my master and two uncles, I am at least certain that once I break through the ninth level, my five senses at night will be even worse than during the day. But as for what the price will be, it's hard to say......"
"In this way, I wish you to practice the ninth-layer realm as soon as possible?" Unlike Gao Ran's seemingly reluctant expression at the moment, "Seven" deliberately ignored her last sentence of emotion as if watching the excitement, and deliberately teased her.
But Amu didn't follow him to coax.
Gao Ran knew that "seven" was clearly deliberate. How could he not see that she did not want those benefits at all, but was reluctantly forced to receive them, and therefore had to sacrifice something for them to pay for what she had received—whether she herself was willing to make such an exchange.
"Are you so happy to see others unlucky? Indeed, now I do have to rely on the practice of internal strength to save my life. And this really makes me want to or not, sooner or later, my internal strength will break through the nine-layer level and improve to another realm. Naturally, whether I want it or not, I will still get what I deserve, and I will still lose what I deserve.
"To put it bluntly, I am nothing more than a container for its temporary residence and use in this set of internal strength, and as a temporary symbiotic relationship with me, it grows its own strength and 'repairs' my internal organs by the way, but because of this, I can no longer do without its 'feeding' ......."
"What do you mean by that?" Amu interrupted Gao Ran's words, his attitude at the moment was much more serious than before. He didn't think what Gao Ran had just said was just a joke.
"Seven" didn't consciously put away his jokes. He didn't think that he was just a small joke, how could he lead to such a terrifying and terrifying fact? But at the same time, he somewhat understood why the "Medical Valley" was always so mysterious and inexplicable in the eyes of the world. ——Judging from his own experience on the way to finally grow into the top ten ranks of the Heavenly Pavilion, it is not difficult for him to think of how most of the temperament that can make people instinctively fear each other without being deliberate was formed?
Although the trials that Gao Ran may have experienced are not the same as those he has experienced, "Seven" believes that she must have experienced the ordeal of nine deaths and a lifetime more than once in order to survive as a 'disciple of the Medical Valley' until now.
"You don't have to be nervous, I'm not a monster, and the internal skills I practice are not monsters. It's just a little different from the internal skills that you are usually exposed to.
"Although I have not seen a detailed description of this set of internal forces in our medical valley in any classics, from my own personal experience and experience, I can feel that this internal force in my body is different from ordinary internal force, it has its own vitality. However, it seems that as long as the 'container' it inhabits can withstand its full strength, the body, which is its temporary 'container', will survive and benefit from its power.
"But it is precisely because it has a life force of its own that I cannot stop practicing this internal force since I began to practice it, and I must practice it every day, and the interval between each practice should not exceed ten hours, otherwise, my internal organs, which have already become completely dependent on this internal force to maintain their normal functioning, will 'refuse' me to continue feeding and I will die a painful and slow death for an hour. - Unless I compromise in time and resume my cultivation immediately......"
Gao Ran looked at the extremely dignified and serious appearance of the two people at the moment, but instead turned to say with ease:
"So, whether I want to or not, as long as I want to live, the practice of this internal strength cannot be stopped. And if you don't stop, it will be a matter of time before you reach the ninth layer. But even I really don't know what will happen to me at that time?—— it is determined by the interaction between this internal force and my own innate qualities, and it is not something I can decide, and it is not up to me to decide. From beginning to end, I could only passively accept it. - Whether I gain or lose, I can only accept it. - Accept the present moment, and then choose how to make sense of what you are suffering, and choose whether to be happy or sad? Anyway, no matter what happens in the end, the only thing I can choose and influence is my own opinions and feelings.
"In that case, I might as well just take care of what I can. As for the rest, since it is not under my control, it is better to follow the trend and adapt to the situation than to bother to fight it.
"What do you say?"
Amu felt that Gao Ran seemed to be quietly hinting that he was reconsidering his relationship with Gao Liwen, so he grimaced and did not respond.
"Seven" told Gao Ran bluntly: "Don't worry, I still need you for the time being, so I won't let you have anything to do." Since you are inconvenient, then tell me about your plan, and I will fully cooperate with you. ”
He hadn't forgotten Amu's questioning of Gao Ran when he first entered the door, and it was not difficult to think that most of the things that Gao Ran wanted to discuss with him at that time were also related to Fu Wenxuan.
Although Amu is still silent, at least in his attitude, he has made it clear that he no longer has any objections and is willing to cooperate with "Seven".
Seeing that the two of them had finally reached an agreement, Gao Ran directly said the plan that had been brewing in his heart for a while:
"Well, since you all have no objections, then we will go our separate ways tomorrow and during the day. However, in order to avoid accidents, I need you all to go to the Fu Mansion tonight to inform Fu Wenxuan and Fu Tong respectively, so that they can prepare early, and if necessary, let them join you inside and outside. - I don't think the Gao family is so stupid as to just send a hostage into the Fu Mansion, and not know how to insert their own eyes and ears into the Fu Mansion.
"Therefore, if we can cooperate with the outside, then we can be foolproof tomorrow. And, perhaps, you can agree with them on a more appropriate time and place to meet during this trip.
"If they do have a better proposal, then when you come back, we can adjust our strategy in time to avoid unnecessary complications tomorrow. What do you think?"
The two of them glanced at each other, and then looked out the window at the sky that was almost noon, and each secretly estimated in their hearts—the risks they might encounter this time, and the fact that they had to return safely before dark in order to accommodate Gao Ran's inconvenience—after roughly considering this, they both agreed to Gao Ran's proposal, and were ready to wait patiently for the middle of the night before going to visit Fu's mansion at night.
After the meeting ended, the two took one last look at each other before leaving. Although Gao Ran was only watching the interaction between the two of them, he seemed to be involved in it, and he instantly understood the possible meaning of their glance: As for who will go to Fu Wenxuan and who will find Fu Tong at that time, when they arrive at the Fu Mansion, they will see the opportunity to act. As long as they are clear to each other about the common purpose of tonight's action.
"Wait. Gao Ran suddenly stopped the two people who had walked out of the door, and finally specially instructed Amu: "Your identity is not suitable for the Fu family to be aware of for the time being, so you can borrow the name of 'Heavenly Pavilion' tonight." ”
Then, Gao Ran turned to politely asked "Seven": "Seven, do you have no opinion?"
"It doesn't matter. Let him borrow the name of 'Heavenly Pavilion', and it will not be considered an insult to Heavenly Pavilion. ”
"Seven" replied to something that Gao Ran and Amu didn't expect. Especially Amu, it is rare to be a little moved at this moment.
