“……”

Looking at Chu Ming's determined face, Gu Qingshan's expression became wonderful, and he couldn't stop fanning the folding fan in his hand, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"That...... I didn't expect Senior Brother Chu to have this hobby, although I don't object to it, but I don't really accept it in my heart. ”

"However, I believe that with Senior Brother Chu's handsome appearance, the probability of finding a suitable person in the Tianyan Sect is quite high, that is, whether your Daoist can accept it......"

"I'm just kidding."

Chu Ming couldn't help but say helplessly, and immediately took out a pen and paper from the space bag, and wrote a poem on it in a dashing manner.

[Acacia is like the sea deep, and old things are like the sky. 】

"You give her this letterhead, and then do what I say......"

After Chu Ming whispered in Gu Qingshan's ear, this made him unusually surprised again.

"Is that okay?"

"Of course it works."

Seeing Chu Ming's sworn appearance, Gu Qingshan was skeptical, and after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh, his tone was quite surprised and admired.

"Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Chu is not only talented in cultivation, but also in love!"

"Such excellent poems are so easy to come by, what kind of face do you have for the champions everywhere?"

"It's just that all of a sudden...... inspiration"

Don't praise it, don't praise it, anyone can be a copyist, I'm just borrowing it and pretending to it.

Seeing Chu Ming's slightly embarrassed face, Gu Qingshan didn't say anything more, chuckled and took the letter paper with a flick of his right hand, and it turned into a streamer and rushed from under the white gauze to Zhao Ke'er's feet.

"Miss Kerr, due to personal reasons, I may not come again after today, please take care."

After saying that, Gu Qingshan got up suddenly, left without looking back, and asked quietly with a worried face after Chu Ming caught up.

"Senior Brother Chu, do you think she will watch it?"

"As long as you say today is the last time you're here, she'll definitely watch it."

Chu Ming chuckled and stretched out three fingers to count down, and before they could be completely bent, he only heard an urgent voice suddenly come from within the white yarn.

"Gu Gongzi! You wait! ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was suddenly lifted around, and a beautiful girl wearing a fragrant lotus pink tassel skirt and covering her face with a white gauze suddenly rushed out and threw herself into Gu Qingshan's arms.

At the moment when the veil was slightly lifted by the wind, Chu Ming looked slightly surprised and stunned when he saw her true face.

It's not that the girl's appearance is too beautiful to be amazed, but that she has a deep scar on her face, which extends from the corner of her left eye to the corner of her mouth, and her hideous appearance is shocking.

But even with this scar, you can still see her original beautiful face.

Could it be because of this scar that Zhao Keer was reluctant to go with Gu Qingshan?

Chu Ming held his chin, and his heart was full of thoughts.

At this moment, Zhao Keer's weak voice full of sourness suddenly sounded.

"Because he was forced to marry by his father when he was young, Ke'er argued with him, but he was ruthlessly cut with a wood axe."

Zhao Ke'er slowly untied her veil, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a miserable self-deprecating smile.

"Gu Gongzi's love for Ke'er, Ke'er has long known, but Ke'er looks like this, she is really ashamed of her liking for Gu Gongzi, and she can only silently look forward to your arrival every time......"

"Miss Kerr, why are you ashamed to say it to me?"

Gu Qingshan smiled slightly, and stroked the scar on Zhao Ke'er's face with his right hand and said softly.

"The Heavenly Dao is often jealous of the beauty of certain people, so they destroy it through kitsch."

Tiandao: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense.

If you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll give you a knife.

Chu Ming complained silently in his heart, but Zhao Ke'er actually raised his head and asked simply with teary eyes.

"Really?"

"Of course."

Gu Qingshan smiled softly, hugged Zhao Ke'er in his arms, and said softly.

"As a disciple of Tianyan Sect, I, Gu Qingshan, never deceive people!"

“……”

Seeing that the two of them were so tired, Chu Ming quietly left the teahouse very interestingly, leaving them some time to be alone.

After waiting outside the door for about half an hour, Gu Qingshan suddenly called.

"Senior Brother Chu, come in."

"Done making out?"

Chu Ming chuckled and walked into the teahouse, just wanted to make fun of it, but found that Zhao Ke'er was nowhere to be found, and looked around with a slightly stunned expression.

"Where's Miss Kerr?"

"Pack your luggage, plan to go back to Tianyan Sect with me later."

Gu Qingshan put away the folding fan in his hand, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged Chu Ming tightly in his arms, his tone full of gratitude.

"Senior Brother Chu...... No, from today onwards, you are my own brother! ”

"Don't do it, Senior Brother Gu, you are older than me...... Anyway, can you let me go first, we have something to say. ”

Being hugged so tightly by a big man like this, Chu Ming had goosebumps all over his body, and he hurriedly struggled to leave, which made Gu Qingshan very puzzled.

"Brother Chu, aren't you both men and women?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I only like girls."

Chu Ming hurriedly explained the misunderstanding between himself and Gu Qingshan, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and then regretted it.

"It's a pity, originally I wanted to introduce a few brothers with the same hobby to Brother Chu."

？？？

"Then I'm really grateful to Senior Brother Gu!"

Facing Chu Ming's yin and yang weirdness with a joking tone, Gu Qingshan was not angry when he heard this, but pulled him into the seat again with a smile and took the initiative to serve tea and pour water.

"Brother Chu, if you have any difficulties in the future, even if you come to me, in the Tianyan Sect, my Gu Qingshan's words can still come in handy."

"Then I'll thank Senior Brother Gu first."

Chu Ming took a sip of tea, and when he saw Gu Qingshan bringing the topic to the right track, he asked with a chuckle following his words.

"Then Senior Brother Gu, let's talk about business now."

"Indeed, I almost forgot about this."

Gu Qingshan's fingers kept tapping on the table, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Brother Chu, are you interested in joining our faction?"

Clique?

Chu Ming couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Are there really different factions within the Tianyan Sect?

Could it be that no matter how harmonious the sect is on the surface, the disciples will secretly have some contradictions......

"Senior Brother Gu, what do you mean by faction?"

"This has to start with another thing."

Gu Qingshan opened the paper fan and kept inciting, and suddenly stared at Chu Mingdao with a solemn expression.

"Brother Chu, I don't know how you feel about the picture that the sect master let you see after entering the inner sect?"

Picture?

Chu Ming's expression was slightly stunned, and then his pupils suddenly shrank as if he had thought of something.

"Senior Brother Gu, do you mean the tragic scene when you say picture?"

"It's bloody, isn't it?"

Gu Qingshan sighed lightly, then looked at the bamboo forest outside the house and muttered to himself.

"The Great Dao of the world, tens of thousands of parallels, but not all Dao Lines are suitable for cultivation."

"There are some Taoist practices that arouse people's desires and negative emotions that lurk in the spiritual sea, and those who cultivate this Tao often lose themselves and become crazy people who will do anything to pursue strength."

"For example, we often say that the Demon Dao uses the cruel means of forcibly absorbing and robbing other people's cultivation and spiritual power to enhance their own strength; There is also the Ghost Dao, which builds a sea of yin and yang qi with the dead to obtain the death qi, and manipulates the corpse golem to fight......"

Hearing Gu Qingshan's introduction, Chu Ming felt that he had a little more insight into this world of immortal cultivation.

It turns out that there are really people in the devil's way!

I thought it was just a joke.

"On the surface, the Northern Regions are calm, but in fact, there are many people who have cultivated the above-mentioned evil ways secretly, and they have even formed gangs and factions to establish a very threatening force."

Gu Qingshan suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Ming, his slightly narrowed eyes flashing with a little cold killing intent.

"In order to fight against such people, strangle their evil deeds in the cradle, and maintain the peace, security and stability of the Northern Regions, each sect led by the five major sects of the Northern Regions will send powerful disciples to various parts of the Northern Regions to solve the disasters they have caused."

"And the picture that the sect master let you see is just the tip of the iceberg of a decisive battle between the five major sects of the Northern Regions and them."

Gu Qingshan suddenly sighed, and his expression became stunned.

"In that decisive battle, in order to protect the Northern Regions, our Tianyan Sect used all the strength of the entire sect to wipe them out."

"The few forces led by them have been completely destroyed, and only a few people are left to be rats in the dark, and everyone is in danger."

"But we also sacrificed too many outstanding disciples and elders, and our vitality was greatly damaged, and we finally fell from the head of the five major sects to the last place."

"So, since then, there have been two factions derived from the Tianyan Inner Sect."

"The conservative faction thinks that our Tianyan Sect has paid too much for the Northern Regions in that decisive battle, so we should rest and recuperate in the past hundred years and hand over the task of fighting that group of people to the other four sects."

"The radical faction believes that we, as the former No. 1 Sect in the Northern Regions, should take responsibility and actively deal with the disasters that occurred in various places to regain the position of the No. 1 Sect."

"As for dealing with the losses suffered during the calamity, the other four sects should be responsible for our Tianyan Sect and provide us with various cultivation resources."

The idea of this radical faction is quite unreasonable!

Chu Ming couldn't help but complain, after Gu Qingshan's explanation, he could be regarded as having a rough conclusion about the form of the Northern Regions.

In the past, the group of people who cultivated the evil path were more rampant, so the five major sects of the Northern Regions could unite to exterminate them.

However, after they disappeared, the five major sects began to harbor their own ghosts, preserving their own strength to compete for the position of the first sect in the Northern Regions.

And Tianyan Sect was relatively honest, and in that decisive battle, he unreservedly used the strength of the entire sect, which led to the absence of glory.

After holding his chin and pondering for a long time, Chu Ming raised his head slightly and stared into Gu Qingshan's eyes and asked softly.

"So, Senior Brother Gu, are you from that faction?"

"Conservative factions."

Gu Qingshan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and said indifferently.

"No one really thinks that the other four sects will be grateful to our Tianyan Sect for pouring all their strength into that decisive battle, right?"

"Maybe they're not only ungrateful, but they're secretly taunting us."

"In the final analysis, our Tianyan Sect must first put our own development first, as for the group of evil people, everyone should understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, and we Tianyan Sect alone should be responsible."

"I think so."

Chu Ming bowed his head slightly in agreement, which made Gu Qingshan breathe a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"So Brother Chu is willing to join us?"

"Can I be neutral?"

It seemed that Chu Ming had expected this to ask, Gu Qingshan smiled slightly and said softly.

"Brother Chu is also a smart person, so he naturally understands that if he is neutral, he will only be unpleasing to both sides."

"But if it's Brother Chu, even if you join the radical faction, then we will be close friends, and this will never change."

"And who are the people in your faction?"

Chu Ming cautiously asked tentatively, as an old oilman who had invaded the workplace for many years in his previous life, he naturally understood that this kind of faction could not be added indiscriminately.

If you make the wrong addition, the road to promotion will become very difficult, even unpromising, and it is easy to be put in small shoes.

So Chu Ming decided to think about it carefully, but Gu Qingshan seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, and his expression was slightly puzzled.

"Our faction accounts for about half of the people of the Tianyan Inner Sect, including fifty-nine peaks in the one hundred and eighteen peaks, among which the peaks of the life system include Dan Peak, Hundred Refining Peak, and Fu Peak......

"So Brother Chu, do you mean that you have to look at people to join, rather than preferring that faction according to your own heart?"

"Of course I'm more inclined to you."

Chu Ming chuckled and said, this can be regarded as giving Gu Qingshan a thorough explanation, making him feel a little more at ease.

"That's good, from the first time I saw you, Brother Chu, I felt that we must get along!"

"After all, we're all in the same boat."

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and immediately couldn't help laughing at the same time.

After that, while waiting for Zhao Ke'er to pack his luggage, Chu Ming had a general understanding of all kinds of information in the Northern Regions in his casual chat with Gu Qingshan.

Of course, the reason why the Hanhai Dan Sect was so hostile to the Tianyan Sect was simply because the Tianyan Sect did not send more people to help them at the beginning of the decisive battle, which caused them to suffer heavy losses.

"Are they white-eyed wolves?"

Chu Ming couldn't help but complain.

"We're not your father, it's enough to send people to help you for the peace of the Northern Regions, but you're still complained about afterwards because of the lack of people?"

"Besides, you're hitting hard with a hammer!"

"After the decisive battle, only our Tianyan Sect among the five major sects in the Northern Regions has gone downhill, and anyone with a discerning eye can see who paddled in that decisive battle!"

"That's it!"

Gu Qingshan echoed on the side.

"So that group of evil people has recently shown signs of resurgence, as soon as we don't help, the other sects will be anxious, and during this time, we are urged to go to various places in the Northern Regions to support them every day, like urging ghosts."

In the end, after Zhao Ke'er finished packing her luggage, Chu Ming returned to Tianyanzong with her and Gu Qingshan.

As soon as he entered the chamber, before his butt was hot, Chu Ming quickly took out the two exercises of Ice Lotus Breaking and Phantom Wood Sheng from the space bag, and a smile of excitement appeared on the corner of his mouth.

[Do you simulate "Ice Lotus Breaking"?] 】
