Chapter 53: Mutual Protection (2)
"The disciple is here." Gu Yi lowered his eyes and saluted respectfully. A few strands of black hair slid down on the chest, smart and vivid.
After the fifth elder called him like that, he didn't say anything. It's really that he is not good at words, and even if he has something to say, he doesn't know how to speak, so he has to turn his gaze to the four elders for help.
The two of them had already discussed the matter almost as much as they could, so it was the same for whoever spoke.
So, the four elders put down the teacup lightly, and their voices were as crisp as a splash of jade from a cold spring. He looked at the quiet young man and smiled lightly.
—————— ("Cut" is coming)
In the small cabin at the stern of the boat, Li Chi heard the sudden sound of footsteps, his eyes were still closed, but his expression was obviously relieved. "Coming back?"
"Yes, senior brother." The voice is elegant, artesian.
But it doesn't care.
He opened his eyes and saw the girl in the white dress sitting gracefully beside him. She picked up the teapot on the small table, patiently poured water for Li Chi, and the little finger of the palm holding the teacup was lightly cocked. "The Fifth Elder has something to talk to Senior Brother Gu, so he hasn't come back yet."
Li Chi glanced at the tea cup that stopped in front of him, and he didn't mean to take it.
What is the purpose of this man who is too attentive to himself?
"Senior brother, your lips are dry." Yun Xian pursed her lips and handed the tea cup closer, and her clear nails gently sank into the flesh of her palm, "Let's drink saliva first." ”
The young man in front of her had a cold face and unparalleled elegance, which made her heart tremble lightly.
"Let it go." Li Chi replied without saltiness, and did not forget to thank him before closing his eyes.
It's not that he's suspicious.
Li Chi first entered Yunmengze two years ago, and the amazing talent he showed when he tested his immortal resources aroused the jealousy of many people, and many unpopular pickling methods were repeatedly used on him.
At that time, Li Chi's temperament was not as withdrawn as it is now.
Immortal cultivators seem to be detached from the mortal world, and they are pure and noble. But the negative emotions that ordinary people have still cannot be eliminated from the mortal womb of the flesh.
Looking at the glory from afar, I yearn for it; If you can't touch it, you will die.
The most ruthless time, Li Chi was secretly set by a disciple because of the kindness in his heart, and almost died in a barren place.
Thinking of this, the breath around him couldn't help but feel cold.
That time, if it weren't for Wen Guyan......
Although the three elders later thoroughly investigated the matter and severely punished the disciples involved in the matter and expelled Yun Mengze, Li Chi also became more and more withdrawn and indifferent because of this. He doesn't want to have a relationship with people, let alone a deep friendship with people.
After all, no one knows whether there is a dirty heart hidden under the pure and harmless skin.
Just like that Senior Brother Wu Zixu, I am afraid that he would have recognized himself a long time ago, so he sprinkled poisonous powder in that signature paper that would make people lose their spiritual power.
It's just that he didn't know how deep Li Chi's attainments in pharmacology and poisons were, and he thought that he could unknowingly cut off this future pride of heaven in his hands.
Whether it is Shang Ci or Yun Xian Xian, they are just passers-by to him.
As for Gu Yi...... His lifeline of life and death is in his own hands, so Li Chi will rarely unload some of his defenses.
Or, like himself, Gu Yi sensitively doesn't trust anyone, but reassures him.
Yun Xianxian's eyes darkened, put down the teacup in his hand, and then said softly: "Senior brother, if you have any discomfort, just call me." With that, she turned away a little dejectedly.
The sunlight shines even more brightly in mid-air, like a bronze mirror burning a candle, crackling and splashing with brilliance.
The junior disciples were still young, and at first they were running around excitedly, laughing and playing as they watched the flowing clouds pass by their fingertips. After a long time, they were also tired, so they simply took their friends back to the small cabin to rest.
The huge cloud boat gradually quieted down. It is bathed in the wind and clouds, and when it shuttles, it is like a white bird flapping its wings, and it flies steadily towards Changming Temple.
Time is long, overflowing ordinary people's cups and plates.
Li Chi finally felt that something was wrong. He closed his eyes in the cabin for a long time, and the discomfort of seasickness was suppressed.
It's been nearly an hour, and Gu Yi hasn't come back since he left.
The Fifth Elder has always had few words, and he was concise and neat in explaining everything, and it was absolutely impossible to keep him for so long.
He tried to breathe a little, then got up and exited the pod.
Shang Ci was lying on the railing and swinging his legs gently, when he suddenly heard a sound behind him, and he turned his head to look. When he saw who it was, he couldn't help but be stunned. "Senior Brother Li, why are you ......?"
Since Senior Brother Li is seasick, he should sit in it and not move around at will.
Why did he come out all of a sudden?
Li Chi slowly walked to Shang Ci's side, and his white fingers also climbed the railing. "What about him?"
"Senior sister, she's a little tired, so she is resting inside." Shang Ci was stunned and pointed to a small cabin next to him, and replied.
Li Chi frowned, his expression was sickly white. Then, his lips and teeth opened lightly, "What about Gu Yi?" ”
Shang Ci was stunned - it turned out that Senior Brother Li was not asking Senior Sister Xianxian. He scratched his head and pointed uncertainly at the bridge in the middle of the ship, "Gu Yi seems to be staying with Ye Shen and them." ”
On this trip, the junior disciples were all in groups of three to participate in the trial together.
Gu Yi came halfway, and the more than twenty disciples had already been divided into groups, so he could only join Ye Shen's group, which lacked one person.
Li Chi naturally didn't have any impression of the name "Ye Shen", he looked at the bridge tower, and seemed to be able to vaguely see the little boy's eyes shining and waving at him. Silently clutching the railing, he leaned over it, and the doubts in his heart did not disappear much. "Gu Yi doesn't have an immortal Dao foundation yet, how can he participate in this trial?"
The three elders had already reminded last night that this trial was difficult, and if they were not careful, their lives might be in danger. Even if the four elders brought Gu Yi here, they only had the intention of taking him to join in the fun, and they had no intention of letting him participate in the trial at all.
What happened in this hour?
"It's a ......" Shang Ci confided two words, and hesitated again.
"Senior Brother Li." Yun Xianxian suddenly lifted the gauze curtain hanging from the hatch, and walked gracefully. She stopped in front of Li Chi, opened her eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Are you feeling better?" ”
"Gu Yi, what's going on?" Li Chi stared at her with an indifferent expression, like a sinking 10,000-year-old ice sculpture.
"That's right." Yun Xian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he explained unhurriedly, "The Fifth Elder said that Senior Brother Gu is an outstanding immortal, so in this trial, he may be able to give it a try. Even if you fail, it's not a shame, but a rare experience. ”
Li Chi didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile.
"Now that only Ye Shen's group is still short of people, I sent Senior Brother Gu over on the order of the Fifth Elder." Yun Xian raised her slender neck, her eyes flashed, and she exhaled like an orchid, "Senior brother trust me?" ”
