Chapter Seventy-Eight: On the Road Alone
What are the consequences of not earning enough credits, of course Gu Rong knows that the slightest displeasure at Gu Lingzhi saying that he is not at home for the New Year will disappear.
"Your sister is right, improving cultivation now is the most important thing. The third prince was able to introduce her to school, but he could not guarantee that she would not be expelled. It's also okay to work hard. ”
Gu Rong said so, and Gu Linglong could only give up, just looking at Gu Lingzhi's eyes with a hint of disdain.
Obviously, she thought that Gu Lingzhi said this because she was really not strong enough, and she was afraid of being expelled from school, so she couldn't take care of going home for many years, so she was ready to go back to the capital to improve her strength.
"Opportunism, sooner or later it will be debunked. ”
Ignoring Gu Linglong's almost provocative words, Gu Lingzhi walked straight through her and returned to his residence.
The next day, Gu Rong took Gu Linglong and other Gu family members back to Tai'an City, where Gu's family was located. After the end of the fair, Gu Lingzhi began to prepare to set off for the capital.
What she said to Gu Rong wasn't all a lie. She really needs to improve her strength. Her cultivation speed is fast enough, but the foundation is not too much, and she needs a lot of actual combat experience to stabilize the foundation. And if you want to quickly improve your actual combat strength, accepting mercenary missions is undoubtedly a good choice.
The so-called mercenary mission is the mission issued by the mercenary guilds set up by the Spirit Warrior Alliance in major cities across the continent. Mercenary missions are divided into five levels according to their level of difficulty. Spirits who want to receive mercenary quests can accept the quest as long as they register the name of a mercenary squad with the Mercenary Guild.
On this side, Gu Lingzhi was planning how to use the two-month vacation to improve his strength after returning to the capital, and on the other side, Gu Linglong, who had returned to the Gu family, was pulling Lin Yue's sleeve and saying bad things about Gu Lingzhi.
"Mother, you don't know, she dares to ignore my words, and even talk back to me, which is completely different from before. Isn't it just that she has been favored by the third prince? When I also enter the Royal Academy, I have to make her look good!"
"Alright, don't be angry, my good girl. Lin Yue'e comforted with some distress: "Isn't it just a slut's child? ”
After comforting Gu Linglong and sending her back to her courtyard, the loving look on Lin Yue's face disappeared instantly, and she looked at the empty surroundings and suddenly showed a cruel smile: "Find someone to kill Gu Lingzhi, be careful not to leave clues." ”
The branches not far away shook slightly, and Lin Yue'e knew that her secret guard had been dispatched.
She used to be too merciful. Gu Rong's child is enough.
If it weren't for her momentary soft-heartedness and leaving Gu Lingzhi, there wouldn't be so many things now. The mysterious person who helped Gu Lingzhi behind her back really scared her.
was able to silently drive Cuilian crazy in the Gu family, and passed on such exquisite exercises to Gu Lingzhi.
She didn't believe Gu Lingzhi's words as much as Gu Rong. I would believe that the Third Prince would be able to teach her the same level of exercises. You must know that the last person who was brought back to the Royal Academy by the Third Prince was nothing.
Inevitably, Gu Lingzhi grew to the point where she couldn't control it with the help of the mysterious person, and she decided to take a risky move. Before Gu Lingzhi grows up, kill her. As long as Gu Lingzhi died, the mysterious man would not be afraid.
That's what she came to after thinking about it for months.
Although the person who secretly helped Gu Lingzhi was secretive and knew a lot of her secrets, since the other party was able to endure it for so many years without releasing it, he obviously had some concerns. Judging from that person's cultivation of Gu Lingzhi, it is likely that he wanted to use Gu Lingzhi to achieve some purpose. Then she will strike first!
Even if her guess is wrong, as long as the subordinates sent out are clean enough, even if the mysterious person suspects her, if he can't find evidence, there is nothing he can do with her.
Thinking like this, the big stone that had been pressing on her heart for several months also had a tendency to fall to the ground.
Besides, Gu Lingzhi's side, in order to better train himself. Instead of renting a carriage, she bought a Windbeast to travel and set out on the road to the capital.
Along the way, he stopped and saw a place where demon beasts gathered, as long as it did not exceed his ability, Gu Lingzhi would stop hunting. Use hunting different monsters to improve your combat power. When it gets dark, just find a safe place to rest for the night.
On this day, after a day's journey, Gu Lingzhi stopped by a small stream, preparing to find a big tree near here tonight.
"The fish in this lake are quite fat, so let's eat grilled fish for dinner tonight. After talking to himself, Gu Lingzhi jumped into the water with an almost naughty smile and grabbed the slippery fish with his bare hands.
The schools of fish were suddenly scattered by Gu Lingzhi and fled for their lives.
"Hah, a bunch of clever little things. Being hit on the leg by a few fish that were so frightened that they couldn't find their way out, it was so itchy that Gu Lingzhi couldn't help laughing. It is only when there is no one around that she shows this childish performance that is appropriate for her age.
With a playful mentality, Gu Lingzhi fished for the fish swimming in front of her all at once, and had a lot of fun.
Suddenly, Gu Lingzhi's heart jumped violently. Almost instinctively, she leaned back, dodging a short arrow fired at her door.
"Yo, the reaction is pretty fast!"
Looking at Gu Lingzhi, who dodged the fatal blow, a big man with a beard on his face laughed.
Gu Lingzhi realized that at some point, she had been surrounded by a group of more than a dozen big men. Eyes roamed over her greedily
"What are you going to do?" Feeling that these people in front of him were all spirit disciple-level cultivators, Gu Lingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and forced himself to calm down and asked calmly.
Looking at the dress of this group of people, it should be the nearby mountain bandits. Since he is a mountain bandit, what he is asking for is wealth. But this is obviously the leader of the mountain bandits, and the previous blow clearly wanted to take her life, so she had to be vigilant.
"Haha, she asked us what we wanted to do?" The bandit leader laughed a few times and turned to look at his men. "Brothers, tell her what we want to do. ”
"Of course, it's killing people and taking treasures, destroying corpses and destroying traces!" said a gloomy man with triangular eyes, standing behind the leader of the mountain bandits. Looking at Gu Lingzhi's eyes, he was full of lewd and evil eyes.
"Boss, I think it's too much of a waste to kill such a iconic beauty just like this......? Before you kill, let the brothers be happy?"
"It's just that it's too wasteful to kill directly. Anyway, they are all dying people, so it's better to let the brothers enjoy it first. ”
The triangular-eyed man's words were agreed by the crowd, and they howled one after another. Looking at Gu Lingzhi's gaze, it was as if she was stripping off her clothes.
