Chapter 199: I owe a favor
"Xiaowei is a very good woman, and being able to marry her is a blessing from my third generation. Oh yes. My wife is the eldest lady of the Tianfeng family who was divorced by the third prince before. ”
Such a simple sentence that seems to be praising his wife, saying it at this moment undoubtedly confirms the authenticity of the rumor. Let those who were still skeptical believe the content of the rumors at once, and they didn't disdain Gu Lingzhi.
Knowing that his reputation here now is an image that everyone spurns. Gu Lingzhi was very strange, and he didn't have any particularly aggrieved and resentful thoughts in his heart. After experiencing the scene of Da Yin Guo's residence this morning, it seemed that no matter how bad the situation was, it couldn't hurt her.
"I see, you all go back, Xiao Jin, don't delay your game because of unnecessary rumors. Gu Lingzhi said calmly.
The tone was indifferent to the extent that Tianfeng and Yan Liang were surprised.
“...... Lingzhi, don't you want to find a way to clear up those rumors?"
"Rumors stop at the wise. Moreover, according to the trend of spreading rumors, it is obvious that some people did it deliberately. Even if I wanted to do something, it would probably be useless, and it would be regarded as a quibble. ”
"How could it be useless, what about the Third Prince, won't he help you?" Yan Liang couldn't help but say.
After speaking, I found that Rong Yuan, who was expected to be here, did not have a shadow. This is an extremely abnormal thing under the double injury of Gu Lingzhi's injury and being slandered.
"He?" As if Yan Liang had mentioned something insignificant, Gu Lingzhi replied very casually: "He still has something to do." ”
After saying this, Gu Lingzhi didn't want to say any more, leaned back on the chair with one hand and lowered his head to pretend to sleep, the meaning of sending off the guest was quite obvious.
Tianfeng Jin and Yan Liang obviously felt that Gu Lingzhi's mood was abnormal, and they were forced by Gu Lingzhi's attitude to say anything more. A few words of advice to let her rest more, and they left.
When only she and Wei Hanzi were left in the living room again, Gu Lingzhi raised his head and ordered tiredly: "I need to rest, I don't see anyone." ”
went up to the residence on the second floor, Gu Lingzhi lay on the bed as if he was out of strength. What are the rumors from the outside world, and what does it have to do with her? This is not Xia Guo, she will go back after the game, and if she wants to influence her from the perspective of human speech, I am afraid that she will make a mistake. The only people who can really influence her are the people she cares about. If the person planning behind the scenes is smart enough, it should be as if Ding Rou is learning and starting from the person she matters to is the most effective.
With self-deprecation, Gu Lingzhi fell asleep again in a daze.
The injury in the shoulder blade was not light, and in order to see Rong Yuan ask him face to face, she dragged the injury to it. Unfortunately, I still didn't get to see anyone.
Outside the house, Wei Hanzi stood at the door for a long time, one hand raised and lowered in front of the door panel, struggling inwardly.
On the one hand, she couldn't bear to see Gu Lingzhi sad, and wanted to tell her about Rong Yuan's visit to her yesterday. On the one hand, she couldn't speak because of Rong Yuan's orders, which made her mind that only had the word "loyalty" in her belief a little useless.
Before transferring her to Gu Lingzhi's side, the master said that she should treat Gu Lingzhi as another master and obey unconditionally. But in this situation, does she want to stand on Rong Yuan's side or Gu Lingzhi's side?
After struggling for a long time, until the breathing in the room became stable and Gu Lingzhi fell asleep, Wei Hanzi was undecided. Finally, he bit his lip and withdrew his hand and stood aside.
That's it, both of them are masters, and it's not good to betray either one, so she will wait and see what gets better. If Gu Ling asks about the master next time, she will tell the other party the truth.
Finally figured out a way, and a smile appeared on Wei Hanzi's face under the mask.
"Spirit, wake up, it's time for lunch. The familiar and deep voice woke Gu Lingzhi from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Rong Yuan's eyes with concern.
"I heard that you were injured, so I ordered someone to stew some nourishing decoction and drink it while it was hot. ”
Gu Lingzhi followed his words and looked at the table on the side. Sure enough, there were a few plates of dishes on it. The soup plate in the middle was still steaming, and the smell of medicinal soup wafted through the room.
Retracting his gaze, Gu Lingzhi looked at Rong Yuan, deliberately ignoring the other party's palm that wanted to help her up, sat up straight from the other side, and said in a cold tone: "Why is the third prince free to come back?
Rong Yuan's eyes flashed slightly as he looked at her, and chuckled: "Her injuries have stabilized, and she doesn't need me to accompany her." But you, who have only been seen for a day, have made yourself like this, do you want me to feel distressed?"
"Will you?" Gu Lingzhi looked at him and asked leisurely.
"Yes!" Rong Yuan replied categorically, then got up and moved the table where the meal was set to the side of the bed, and he also found a stool to sit on the side of Gu Lingzhi's bed, so he skillfully picked up the medicinal soup in the middle, put a small bowl in his hand, and then picked up a spoon and scooped it in front of him and blew it a few times, and sent it to Gu Lingzhi.
"Come, drink some soup to warm your stomach first. ”
Gu Lingzhi always watched Rong Yuan's movements without saying a word, seeing that he was as diligent as in the past, and he didn't understand his mind anymore.
“...... If you do this, aren't you afraid that Ding Rou will be jealous?"
"Why should I be afraid that she will be jealous?" Rong Yuan smiled, looking at Gu Lingzhi's eyes as usual tolerant and spoiled: "Or are you jealous?"
Gu Lingzhi was silent, looking at Rong Yuan's gaze as if he wanted to see him out of a hole.
After yesterday and this morning, how could he still pretend that nothing had happened? His act of course made her feel that all her suspicions and sulkness before her were vexatious!
"I ......" Gu Lingzhi opened his mouth. The impulse to ask Rong Yuan in the morning was all gone. turned into the anxiety of gaining and losing, tangled in her chest. I'm afraid that if she asks, the answer she gets is which one she doesn't want to hear the most, and how should she deal with herself?
Seeing that Gu Lingzhi wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes struggling and hesitating, Rong Yuan said it for her: "But you want to ask me where I went last night?"
Gu Lingzhi froze for a moment, pursed his lips and nodded lightly: "I heard that you stayed in Da Yin's temporary residence, I ...... this morning I've been looking for you. ”
After speaking, Gu Lingzhi glanced to the side, remembering the scene at the door of Da Yin's residence. A wave of grievance and resentment flooded my heart. Her eyes reddened slightly.
"Did you go to me this morning?" Rong Yuan frowned: "I didn't hear the guards mention this matter. ”
Gu Lingzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether to be happy or resentful. stopped her at the door and was not allowed to enter, and Rong Yuan didn't know it. But if Rong Yuan's attitude was resolute and he didn't show any ambiguous signs, how could those guards have the courage to stop her at the door and humiliate her like that?
"Silly girl. Unable to see Gu Lingzhi anymore, he was obviously sad in his heart, but he was stubborn, and Rong Yuan took the person tightly in his arms in distress. Explained in her ear: "Yesterday I went out with Ding Rou and was attacked by a group of gangsters, Ding Rou was stabbed by someone in order to protect me, I couldn't let her go and didn't come back." Don't think about it so much. ”
"Ding Rou was injured in order to save you?" Gu Lingzhi raised his head sharply when he heard this. Rong Yuan had long been a half-step Saint Realm cultivator, and he was only one chance away from true sanctification. Ding Rou is a talented cultivator, and Rong Yuan can't take her turn to protect her.
It seems that Rong Yuan also knows that it is a shame to be protected by a woman whose cultivation is so much worse than himself, and his eyes are a little evasive and he roughly said about yesterday's situation: "...... At that time, there were quite a few people who attacked us, and several of them were powerhouses at the peak of the Spirit Monarch Realm. When one of them wanted to sneak attack me, Ding Rou found out and blocked the sword for me, almost killing the central vein. I stayed at Dayin's residence all night just to wait for her injuries to heal. ”
After listening to Rong Yuan's explanation, Gu Lingzhi should have breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt even more depressed. What kind of affection does it take for a woman to be willing to risk her life to protect another man? It is no wonder that Dayin's guards all have the posture of treating Rong Yuan as a concubine. For this alone, Rong Yuan owes Ding Rou a favor.
With a full stomach, Gu Lingzhi actually forgot that with the degree of concern that Rong Yuan cared about her, how could he not check her injuries as soon as he came back? Such a reaction was either not caring, or he had already been clear about her injuries.
After eating, Rong Yuan slightly instructed Gu Lingzhi to cultivate well, and then went to Da Yin's residence again. The reason is that Na Ding Rou woke up and refused to take the medicine, and he was willing to take it only when he saw Rong Yuan.
Gu Lingzhi watched Rong Yuan leave with a decent smile on his face, but his fingers holding the quilt almost pulled off the corners.
Ding Rou is willing to take medicine only when he sees Rong Yuan? Ding Rou's approach is to clearly show his thoughts. Rong Yuan rushed over without saying a word, what does this mean?
For several days, Rong Yuan came and left in a hurry every time, as if Da Yin's residence was his residence. It wasn't until the day before the finals that I finally remembered my duty and gathered the people who entered the finals this time. After counting, I was surprised to find that the nine people who came to participate in the competition this time, except for the two students who were eliminated at the spirit disciple level, seven of them had entered the finals.
"Yes, keep the advantage and try to win the top three of the Spirit and Spirit Master. His eyes turned around on the seven people in front of him, and Rong Yuan spat out this sentence lightly, as if it was a simple thing to get the top three.
"I don't have any opinion, I'm afraid that Beiqiu will blow up at that time. Nie Sang was the first to respond, and his warm smile looked a little cunning at this time.
Lang Jingchen snorted: "Do you still need to use it? I look at the First Academy, it has already exploded now." ”
After a few days of fermentation and Gu Lingzhi's inaction, rumors about her have spread widely, and even other towns near Yancheng have heard of Gu Lingzhi's "big name".
