Chapter Ninety-Four: Disciple? (2-in-1 4000 words, ask for subscription)
After setting their goals, the three of them left the Wuhun Hall and returned to the Seven Houses.
In the next few days, Gu You changed the rules of sparring to that you can use soul skills at will, but you have to control the output, and you can get a light injury, but you can't get a serious injury.
Tang San can also use hidden weapons in battle, but they can't target lethal or mailing, and Xiao Wu can also use the stones prepared in the soul guide to attack remotely.
Of course, Gu You's survival instinct is still banned, otherwise the sparring will become a murder scene.
The most direct impact is that the winning rate of Guyou has plummeted. Originally, he could at least win against Xiao Wu, but after Xiao Wu lifted the restrictions on the use of soul skills, he found that the kicking technique strengthened by the waist bow had no effect, and he turned to develop a blast kill eight-stage fall just like the original book, and smashed Gu You, whose weight was not enough to resist.
Tang San's was even more excessive, specially made a blunt-headed hidden weapon, which did not use lethal toxins, but instead attached powerful paralyzing toxins.
Coupled with the special concealment weapon technique, Tang San could cut through the skin even with a blunt weapon and let the toxins enter the human body. If it weren't for Guyou's excellent defense, the hidden weapon that wasn't sharp couldn't break through the defense, but I was afraid that it would be even worse to lose.
In the sparring of the three, other work-study students also returned to the college one after another to start a new semester.
"Big brother!"
While discussing with Tang San Xiaowu about the problems that had arisen in today's practice, Gu You suddenly heard a voice as crisp as a lark.
Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were facing the gate, watched as a little girl threw the futon in her hand to the ground, and hurriedly ran towards Gu You, who was facing the gate.
Although the little girl was very excited, she only dared to timidly pull the corner of Gu You's clothes with her hand behind Gu You.
Gu You was immersed in thinking, completely unaware of the sound coming from behind, and finally was brought back to reality by the pulling feeling coming from behind him. He looked up, and saw that the two men in front of him were looking behind him, and he turned his head.
"Lanta, you're here." Seeing the little girl behind him, Gu You raised his hand and rubbed her head affectionately.
Feeling the hand on her head, the little girl raised her head timidly. The hair on the forehead and temples is emerald green, and the hair turns brown from the ears back to the waist. The eyes are like crystal clear emeralds, giving people a sense of coldness. He is about one meter tall and very skinny. Hiding behind the tall Gu You looked even more malnourished.
If you can feel the beauty of life and the vitality of youth when you see Xiao Wu, then this little girl can only give people recognition of how cruel reality is.
“… Well, big brother, I'm coming for you. The little girl looked up at Gu You and whispered.
Gu You wanted her to let go of the corners of her clothes, but the little girl didn't let go, and she didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting the little girl, so she had to let her go.
Turning his head, what Gu You saw was two pairs of perverted eyes, Tang San had a face of "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person", while Xiao Wu had an expression of "Dead pervert doesn't even let go of a little girl, it's disgusting, can you stay away from me".
Finding out that his wind review was killed, Gu You had to quickly explain what was going on with this little girl.
"Her name is Lanta, and she is the child I met when Brother Tao and I went to various villages to awaken the martial spirits.........
Lanta was born in the village that impressed Gu You.
When she was a child, her parents were still alive, and although the village was very poor, her father and mother were very loving. Always want to give the best to Lanta.
As Lanta grows older, her parents want a better life for Lanta. But the conditions of the village are here, and there is no way to make money at all.
After a long discussion, Lanta's parents decided to take the risk and go to the dangerous cliff to pick herbs and scrape together enough money to move out of the village.
As you can imagine, a sudden heavy rainstorm caused her father to die on the spot, and her mother was taken back to the village, but she left one night later, leaving Lanta, who was less than 4 years old at the time, alone.
The village is very poor, and the villagers regard it as the most important thing to become a soul master and leave the village, so Ranta, who is only 4 years old, has no way to keep the inheritance left by her parents.
It may be that the conscience still exists, and although the villagers have divided the inheritance of Lanta's parents, they will still give Lanta some food, so that Lanta will not starve to death and continue to live.
This year, Gu You and Su Yuntao came to this village again to perform the martial soul awakening ceremony, and only Lanta was the only one in the village who successfully awakened his soul power. At this point, all the villagers seem to be crazy and want Ranta to take them as relatives.
In the end, Su Yuntao and Gu You all felt that they didn't know what would happen if they left this little girl in the village, so they took Lanta back to the Martial Spirit Hall and told the hall master Ma Xiunuo about her family situation.
When Masino heard that this misfortune had happened to the skinny little girl's family, he decided to take the little girl in. Because he was still young, he was temporarily taken care of by Sisi, and he could go to study after the college opened.
After bringing Lanta back to Notting City and settling down, Gu Youcai and Su Yuntao continued to embark on the road of awakening martial spirits everywhere.
After listening to Gu You's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu both looked at the little girl with pity.
Noticing Tang San and Xiao Wu's eyes, Lanta said word by word in a low but firm tone, "Don't... Use... This kind of look... Look at me. ”
Looking at the surprised eyes of the two, Gu You laughed and said, "Don't underestimate Lanta, she is very strong." ”
On the way back to Notting City with us, she not only didn't say she was tired, whether it was setting up a tent, lighting a fire, or even picking wild vegetables. That's a lot better than a rabbit. As he spoke, Gu You glanced at Xiao Wu.
Although I really wanted to say to Gu You, "Who are you looking down on", I recalled the miserable situation of my life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
emmmmm, in front of the child, don't worry about Gu You.
"Lanta, let me introduce you." Gu You pointed at Tang San and said, "This brother's name is Tang San, he came from the same village as me, he is my best brother, and he is also my family. Just call him the third brother. ”
Tang San smiled and nodded to Lanta, Lanta didn't feel malice, and Gu You also said that he was his best brother, so he also timidly replied: "Hello, my name is Lanta." ”
Then, Gu You pointed to Xiao Wu, who was anxious next to him, "This sister's name is Xiao Wu, she is an ordinary classmate, and she is not familiar with us, so you can pretend that you don't know her." ”
After saying this, the angry Xiao Wu directly rushed up to scratch Hua Guyou's face.
After being avoided by Gu You, he smiled and said, "Look, the temper is not good, Lanta, you don't want to follow her." ”
"Well, I see, big brother." Unexpectedly, Lanta nodded seriously and kept this matter in mind.
Suddenly, Gu You, Xiao Wu and Tang San were all stunned, none of them expected Lanta to react like this, and they couldn't see that Gu You and Xiao Wu were just joking.
Gu You looked at Tang San with a pleading look. Tang San shook his head slightly, he had never seen such a person.
Gu You didn't look at Xiao Wu either, Tang San used to be the third in the outer door of the Tang Sect, and he was also a senior brother. Even he had never met such a person, so don't think about what good method Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old rabbit, can give.
"Ahem, Lanta, we were joking." Gu You said embarrassedly, feeling that his toes could be cut out of three bedrooms and two living rooms on the ground, "Xiao Wu is also our family, and she can be regarded as my sister and Tang San." ”
"Sort of?" Lanta raised her head and looked at Gu You with inquisitive eyes, "Big brother, you have different surnames from theirs, why are you family?" ”
"Because," Hearing this question, Tang San gave his own answer before Gu You answered, he smiled very gently, and there was no shadow of the future god king who tore his daughter's soul apart and sent his son away.
"Family is not tied together by family name, nor by blood. The heart of mutual understanding, mutual care and mutual protection is the real family. ”
Hearing Tang San's explanation, Gu You closed his mouth, there was nothing more to explain why the three of them were family.
Lanta was thoughtful, only to see her ask in a crisp voice, "Then will I also be the sister of the big brother?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire dormitory fell silent. Everyone looked at Lanta in amazement.
The first to react was Xiao Wu, who asked curiously, "Sister Lanta, why do you want to be his sister?" ”
Lanta blurted out, "Because the big brother is good to me, I want to be the same as the big brother." ”
Ranta remembers her mother telling her before she died, hoping she would survive. So no matter how difficult her life was and how painful her life was, Lanta still worked hard to live, just to fulfill her mother's last request to her.
After awakening her soul power, Lanta was confused for the first time. She originally thought that her life was like this, and struggling to survive was the best reward for her parents. Suddenly there was a chance to leave the village, a chance to fulfill the wish of the parents while they were still alive.
But the weight of survival has long overwhelmed Lanta, and she has lost her parents and does not know how she will live after leaving the village. looked at the ugly faces of the villagers in front of him, or begged, or threatened, or wanted to use the already indifferent blood kinship to make her choose to take them away.
Lanta, who wanted to say that she had given up on leaving the village, was about to speak, but was frightened by Gu You's actions.
I saw Gu You release the martial spirit, this hideous form, coupled with the breath of a predator, and the unique temperament that only people who have seen blood can show, under the light of that circle of yellow soul rings, he let out an angry roar at those who were extremely ugly in the eyes of Lanta.
Normal villagers are extremely ugly, but the vicious dinosaur is as beautiful as an angel in Lanta's eyes.
Lanta heard the person in front of her say, "Congratulations, you've got a chance to change your fate." Whether you choose to stay here or come with us to Notting City, we will respect your ideas. ”
After a pause, Gu You continued: "But, don't you want to see the outside world? ”
Hearing Gu You's words, Lanta felt that she had gained another purpose to live.
Go and see the world, see the world that my father and mother want me to see.
Lanta agreed without thinking, did not take any of the villagers with him, and left the village alone with Gu You and Su Yuntao and went to Notting City.
Along the way, Lanta has been paying attention to Guyou, and she yearns for and longs for Guyou's powerful figure. During the time she lived in Sisi's house, she asked many people about Guyou.
In Sisi's eyes, Gu You is a smart person. Since childhood, I have loved reading all kinds of books, and I can also find all kinds of details from them, and turn them into my own strength.
In Su Yuntao's eyes, Gu You is a curious person. He was always curious about all sorts of commonplace things and wanted to explore the mysteries within.
In Ma Xiuno's eyes, Gu You is a hardworking person. Since he was a child, he was able to insist on reading all kinds of boring books, from the first day he appeared in the Wuhun Palace, until today, Gu You is still reading and learning.
In the eyes of the guards, Gu You is a person who retains his original intention. How he treated them when he was a child, and how he treated them after becoming a soul master, he didn't change his attitude towards them as ordinary people because of the change in his identity.
Little by little, Lanta pieced together an ancient tour in the eyes of outsiders, and almost all the good qualities can be found in the ancient tour, which also made Lanta look forward to the ancient tour even more.
During the period before the start of school, Lanta learned from Gu You and wanted to read the books of the Wuhun Hall patiently. When she came to Qishe and saw the back of her longing, she couldn't help but want to get close to Guyou.
After hearing Tang San explain the meaning of his family, for Lanta, there is only one meaning, that is, even if he has a different surname and no blood relationship, he may become Gu You's family, so that he can get closer to Gu You.
Gu You came back to his senses, put Lanta behind him on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed himself, looked at Lanta's beautiful eyes, and asked seriously: "Lanta, why do you want to be my sister?" ”
Lanta told Gu You what he had done during this time, and also expressed his thoughts and yearning for Gu You.
Gu You understood, he took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Lanta, I'm sorry I can't treat you as a sister. ”
"The feelings in your heart are not the feelings between family members, but longing and yearning."
Gu You deeply understands that he must not agree to let Lanta be his sister now. This is not helping her, but harming her. It's like Icarus flying to the sun.
Gu You doesn't want Lanta to be the second him, he only wants Lanta to be a unique Lanta.
But looking at this girl with a miserable background, Gu You couldn't say anything serious. With her own figure reflected in those emerald-like eyes, Lanta was reluctant to look away as if she had seen the sun for the first time.
"Lanta, would you like to be my apprentice?"
In everyone's surprised eyes, Gu You slowly opened his mouth and said this sentence that could be regarded as shocking.
