Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Outside World

Three days later, Lingjian Stream.

In the early morning, the boy practiced swordsmanship alone in the back mountain, which was a habit he had developed since he was a child, and every time he practiced swordsmanship, he would feel refreshed and refreshed.

The sword flew in his hand like an arm. The whole set of actions is smooth, without the slightest stiffness.

Gu Qingzhou was dressed in white, floating around with his movements, very chic. The long sword danced, sometimes soft as water, sometimes hard as a rock.

"Woohoo!" the sword sliced through the void, making a sound of grinding against the air.

The young man stepped on the breeze, and then the wind jumped into the air, and the long sword waved, and the fierce and domineering sword aura surrounded him. The young man slowly drew his sword, and a sword qi flew out, directly cutting off a small tree as thick as a bowl.

The small tree fell to the ground, shaking the ground into the dust. The young man landed slowly, put away the long sword behind his back, looked at the pool of water, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"I don't know when Brother Su will wake up?" Gu Qingzhou's handsome face had a trace of sadness, since that day since the battle of Fengming Mountain, Su Liuyun has been in a coma, it seems that this injury has directly affected his vitality.

Just as the young man was frowning, he suddenly heard some movement on the water, and he couldn't help but look at it.

I saw a carp break out of the water, and it actually spewed a column of water at itself, which shot right in the young man's face.

Gu Qingzhou flashed for a moment, and his face was directly wet by this water column, and then it dripped onto his shoulders, wetting his clothes.

"Hahahaha!"

There was a burst of girl's laughter in the distance, and the scene in front of her happened to be bumped into by Xia Wanyan, who was looking for her.

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly wiped the water stains on his face with his sleeves, and his face was embarrassed.

"It seems that someone is unlucky, and he really can't even stand the fish. Xia Wanyan came closer, pursed her lips and snickered.

“......”

Gu Qingzhou's old face flushed, and he turned his head directly in embarrassment, as if he didn't hear her ridicule.

"Hey, I said, do you dare to ignore Aunt Ben?"

Xia Wanyan took a step and came to Gu Qingzhou's side, but when she saw that the latter turned her head directly, she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, stretched out Qianqian's little hand, and pushed it directly to his chest.

"At such a young age, you still dare to call yourself an old lady?" Gu Qingzhou said to himself while dodging the other party's hand.

"What are you talking about?" Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyan's hearing was extremely sensitive, and she just heard Gu Qingzhou's words in her ears.

Xia Wanyan had a smile on her face, and approached Gu Qingzhou step by step, her body almost touching the other party.

Smelling the faint aroma on the girl's body, Gu Qingzhou's face couldn't help but turn crimson, his heart was in turmoil, and his heart was beating with "plop, plop".

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly took two steps back, breathed in the fresh air quickly, looked at the smiling girl with a vigilant face, and stammered, "You...... Do you want to ...... Dry...... What?"

"Giggles!"

Seeing Gu Qingzhou's embarrassed appearance, Xia Wanyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker again.

"Fool!" the girl scolded.

Gu Qingzhou waved his hand awkwardly, pretending to hold a sword in his left hand, and secretly touched his chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding that his heartbeat had stabilized.

"I'm sorry!" Xia Wanyan's expression suddenly changed, her expression looked a little guilty, and her two small hands kept frustrating the corners of her clothes.

"Huh?" Gu Qingzhou was slightly stunned, because of the girl's sudden change, he didn't react for a while.

"Why do you want to apologize to me?" Gu Qingzhou asked with some confusion.

Xia Wanyan bit her lip lightly with her teeth, and said with some embarrassment: "That day...... I saw you using my Taoist exercises, and I thought you were ...... Secretly learned, so ......"

Gu Qingzhou smiled slightly, that gentle smile was like a spring breeze, and he was about to be touched by the girl in front of him, and he said softly: "I didn't take it to heart." ”

"No! Xia Wanyan's face suddenly changed, and she clenched her small fist with her right hand and gestured at him.

Because the drunkard was his master, and he was Dao Zhi, his own uncle, Xia Wanyan couldn't help but guess in her heart that Gu Qingzhou should have known about this relationship a long time ago.

"Well, it's really not what you think, I didn't know that the old man was also a disciple of the Taoist Sect. Gu Qingzhou hurriedly explained.

"Really?" Xia Wanyan looked at him with a smirk, making his scalp tingle.

"Yes...... Yes. Gu Qingzhou replied stubbornly.

"Poof!"

Xia Wanyan couldn't help but sneer: "Look at your stupid appearance!"

"By the way, I've signaled to Middle-earth that it won't be long before they'll send someone to meet us. She restrained her smile and sighed slowly, her voice was very small, as if she was saying it to Gu Qingzhou, and it seemed to be saying it to herself.

"Leaving?" Gu Qingzhou was slightly stunned, and there was some inexplicable irritability in his heart.

Perhaps, this is because they have also regarded each other as their friends!

Since she was a child, Gu Qingzhou has followed drunkards to practice in seclusion in this mausoleum, so naturally she has no opportunity to contact her peers, and although Xia Wanyan was born in Middle-earth, she grew up in the Taoist Sect, and as the holy daughter of the Taoist Sect, she always follows the Taoist Sect Master to practice, and naturally she can't contact any others.

There was silence between the two for a while, Gu Qingzhou stuck his long sword on the ground, sat directly on the stone by the waterhole, and quietly watched the fish swim around in the water.

Xia Wanyan was also silent, looking preoccupied, and stood on tiptoe to sit down next to him.

"Look how nice this fish is, carefree, playing in the water every day. Xia Wanyan's beautiful eyes were fascinated, and she said softly.

"Do you have any troubles?" Gu Qingzhou turned his head to look at her and asked.

"Although after this incident at Fengming Mountain, I finally broke through to the Shouyuan Realm. But the day of the Academy is coming to admit new students, and everyone will be fighting for that rare spot. And I, as a saint of the Taoist Sect, naturally have to participate in this admissions exam, and I am afraid that I will lose the face of the Taoist Sect. Xia Wanyan put her right hand on her cheek, and her face was sad.

"The Holy Academy of the Holy Capital?" Gu Qingzhou repeated slightly.

"Will you go then?" the girl turned her head to look at him expectantly.

Gu Qingzhou's face was silent, but there was a yearning in his heart.

That's the best college today, it was set up by Shengtang, I heard that only a very small number of new students are recruited every year, but it teaches students according to their aptitude, and it can really be taught. And every year, as long as the students graduate from the holy college, they all do something.

However, Gu Qingzhou had concerns in his heart, if he went to Shengtang, the drunkard would ......

"It seems that I have to find some time to discuss it with the old man!" Gu Qingzhou thought in his heart.

Xia Wanyan waited for a moment, did not wait for Gu Qingzhou's affirmative reply, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, turned her head to the front again, and quietly looked at the pool of water.

"What is the outside world like in the wilderness?" Gu Qingzhou suddenly asked.

Xia Wanyan was stunned when she heard this, and immediately smiled lightly on her pretty face, and said slowly: "The outside of the wilderness can be big, first of all, it is the Holy Tang Kingdom of Middle Earth, and there is the Saibei Di Kingdom north of the Holy Tang Dynasty, I heard that they are composed of grassland nomads, with a rough and bold personality, and they are good at using knives;

"The outside world is beautiful, there are many scenes that have never been seen in the wilderness, such as the moon at night, the stars in the sky, the far west and the towering snow-capped mountains, the vast sea in the south, the snow in the winter, and so on. ”

Gu Qingzhou was silent again, but his eyes flickered, revealing a strong sense of yearning.

"Gu Qingzhou, oh no, you are older than me, you should be called senior brother now, you must go to see the outside world when you have the chance!" Xia Wanyan smiled lightly.

Gu Qingzhou took a deep breath, his heart was full of longing, he nodded heavily, and said, "It will definitely be!"

"Perhaps, we can become classmates in the future!, but you have to practice hard, otherwise if you don't pass the exam, then you will ......" The young man smiled faintly, and said with a smile in his mouth.

"Phew!"

Xia Wanyan hurriedly took a few sips, and said, "You crow's mouth, phew, you can't get into the Holy Academy!"

Seeing the girl's appearance, Gu Qingzhou couldn't help laughing, and was in a good mood for a while. Unconsciously, he seems to like this feeling, and sometimes they play around together, which seems to be good.

"To be honest, I seem to be starting to look forward to the exams of the Holy Academy!"

The breeze blew and stirred the girl's hair, and she smiled softly on her face, as if it melted the boy's heart.
