Chapter 179 The Boy Needs Candy
The Xuantian Sword Sect is very efficient.
Gu Lan couldn't help but sigh. She just saw the people from Tianyan Sect coming. She originally thought that it would take at least a few days before she would ask her master to discuss the matter. Unexpectedly, it wasn't long before Sect Leader Wan started to ask her master to discuss the matter.
"Do you know what's going on?" Yun Tiannan asked the young disciple.
The young disciple was only responsible for delivering messages, so he had no idea about the specifics. However, when he saw the people from Tianyan Sect coming, he knew in his heart that it was a matter between the three sects. But that was just his guess, and he really didn't know the specific details. "Please wait until Sect Leader Yun goes there to tell us."
The young disciple bowed and turned to look at Gu Lan, "Senior Sister Gu, the head master said that he will do justice in this matter. You go to Feiyun Cave by yourself. The most important thing is to save my junior brother."
……
Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, then he figured it out.
Nothing that one does in Xuantian Sword Sect can escape the sect's discerning eyes. Besides, she has not been hiding from people in the past few days, so it is inevitable that Sect Master Wan knows about it.
In addition, in order to comfort herself, Master Wan also asked someone to tell her to leave safely, which was considered a goodwill gesture.
Gu Lan was grateful in his heart and bowed deeply, "Thank you for the message, Junior Brother. Please express your gratitude to Sect Leader Wan on my behalf. I am very grateful."
The young disciple smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, "I will definitely bring it to you, so I will leave first."
After sending the disciple away, Gu Lan stood beside his master and couldn't help but sigh, "After all, they are from the same lineage. Master Wan still cares about our old friendship."
Yun Tiannan remained silent. In his heart, his resentment towards Xuantian Sword Sect was gradually fading with the passage of time. Besides, both Danyangzi and Wan Jianying were aware of their need to make amends, and he didn't want to dwell on the past.
"What time do you leave tomorrow?"
"I'll leave in the afternoon. I plan to use the teleportation array."
Yun Tiannan nodded and took out a bag of spirit stones from the mustard seed bag.
"Master?"
"This is what I have saved. I wanted to wait until the competition was over before giving it to you. Now that you are going to Feiyun Cave, you will need some. Take it with you and take good care of you brothers. I will go to the main hall to check it out."
Gu Lan accepted the spirit stones, which were heavy with his master's love.
After Yun Tiannan finished speaking, he slowly walked out of the door.
Gu Lan stood at the door and watched Yun Tiannan go. He looked thin, with his back slightly bent as he suppressed his cough from time to time. Compared with the other sect leaders, he looked haggard, but he left them with warmth and love.
With a sigh, he stuffed the spirit stones into the mustard seed bag. Gu Lanyuan was worried that the teleportation array would not have enough spirit stones, so he was planning to borrow some from Ji Yanli, but now he didn't need to.
But speaking of Ji Yanli, I wonder if his injury has healed. After all, she was the one who hurt him, so she should go and see him. But she doesn’t have time these days. They have to go to Feiyun Cave tomorrow afternoon, so where would she find the time?
Why not go and see it now?
Gu Lan left as soon as he said he would, without any delay. However, thinking that he had attracted everyone's attention just now, in order to avoid trouble, he took out his magic sword and planned to fly away.
The distance between the two mountains is not far, and it only takes half an incense stick of time to fly there with a sword.
Gu Lan stood on the magic sword, lowered his head slightly, and lifted the hair that was blown to his face by the wind. At that moment, he saw a figure in the mountains hanging on the root of an old tree with great effort, kicking his legs and swaying.
Gu Lan was stunned, and found it funny in his heart. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times and made some comments in his mind.
Is there something wrong with this person? Could it be that he hanged himself because he was heartbroken?
I don’t know which sect this disciple is from, but his behavior probably shows that he has some brains.
Gu Lan complained in his heart, but did not draw his sword to check, and just passed by.
The sword wind brought up a gust of mountain wind, blowing on the old tree root. With a click, the old tree root finally broke, and the figure hanging on it screamed and fell down.
Gu Lan vaguely heard someone screaming, and turned around to look, only to see the mountainside shrouded in fog and cloud, without even a single hair of a person. He thought it was just hallucination, so he didn't pay any attention and continued flying with his sword.
After walking for a while, we arrived at Lingxiao Peak. This peak was very steep and covered by gauze-like clouds. It was vaguely visible, like a fairyland. Compared with the bustling main peak, this place was extremely quiet.
Gu Lan withdrew the magic sword and fell to the ground.
Then a boy was sweeping the yard. When he saw her lower her sword, he went forward to meet her.
"Who are you looking for, Senior Sister?" The little boy leaned on the broom and looked at Gu Lan from left to right. Before Gu Lan could reply, he seemed to recognize someone. His eyes lit up, and he leaned forward and shouted in surprise, "But Senior Sister Gu?"
Gu Lan was stunned, then nodded.
"How did you know it was me?"
The boy smiled and looked up at Gu Lan, "Senior brother, there is a portrait of my sister hanging in your room. I recognize her naturally."
portrait?
Ji Yanli painted it? He can also paint.
Before Gu Lan could make any expression, the boy suddenly seemed to remember something, his face fell, and he almost cried. He put down the broom he was leaning on, grabbed Gu Lan's sleeve, and begged, "Senior Sister Gu, please don't tell us about the portrait, and just pretend you didn't hear anything, okay? Otherwise, Senior Brother will definitely punish me."
Seeing that he was about the same size as Xiaoliu, with red lips and white teeth, and a very cute little guy, Gu Lan couldn't bear to see him get punished, so she nodded and agreed.
"Don't cry, I promise you."
What's the big deal? It's just a portrait of herself. Why is Ji Yanli so serious about it? She is not a stingy person.
Although Gu Lan criticized Ji Yanli's behavior, he did not intend to say it out loud. As a person, the most important thing is to keep your promise.
After comforting the boy, Gu Lan stated his purpose.
"Ah, Senior Sister Gu, you came at such an unfortunate time. Senior Brother started his retreat yesterday." The little boy sighed with regret, "As for Master, the head master just invited him to the main peak to discuss matters, but he is not here either."
Gu Lan thought that Xuan Mingzi must have been invited by Sect Leader Wan to discuss matters with the Tian Yan Sect just like his master.
"How many days will the retreat last?"
"It's hard to say. Master said that if Senior Brother concentrates on retreat, he might be able to break through in the near future. But if Senior Brother's mind is complicated, retreat may take one or two years."
After hearing what he said, Gu Lan had no choice but to give up. It was impossible to wait for Ji Yanli to come out. After thinking about it, Gu Lan took out a pen and paper from the mustard bag and left a note for him.
"If your senior brother comes out of seclusion, please give this note to him."
Gu Lan sealed the note and took out another candy from the mustard bag. It was the candy he bought for Xiaoliu when he went down the mountain before. Seeing that they were of similar age, they must have the same taste.
The little boy took it, opened the paper and put it in his mouth. The sweetness of the sugar melted in his mouth and filled his heart. "Thank you, Senior Sister Gu. Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust." He was determined not to let the master find out. After all, the notes written by his senior brother were taken away by the master, so he had to hide Senior Sister Gu's notes well.
Gu Lan had nothing to give him, so she could only give him candy. Children all love sweet things, and seeing his smiling face, he must be very satisfied.
Looking back at the closed mountain gate, Gu Lan sighed slightly. Ji Yanli was really... She didn't have time to come. Are you still not free to come? The injury wasn't that serious...
Gu Lan never thought that Ji Yanli was under strict supervision of his master, and even the note was confiscated. He really had the will but not the ability to help.
Forget it, feeling a little annoyed, Gu Lan turned his head, said goodbye to the boy, still summoned the magic sword, and flew back the same way.
When she flew to the place she had just been to, she saw the figure from before, with a head full of straw, supporting his waist, leaning against a big rock, looking up and seeing her.
