Seeing that Du Xuan seemed too unwilling, Gu Jinxuan pouted unhappily and said, "Don't brother Xuan even eat? Or what he just said was a lie. In fact, he just didn't want to see Jinxuan, no.
I like Jinxuan.”
"How could that be? Okay, you can come at noon from now on." Du Xuan said quickly.
When Gu Jinxuan heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "Really? Haha, great, then it's settled."
"Yeah." Du Xuan said with a helpless smile.
At this time, Xie Ming looked at Du Xuan and made his eyes look confused. Du Xuan looked confused and confused.
"Ahem." Anxious Xie Ming saw that Du Xuan couldn't understand, so he couldn't help but cough loudly on purpose.
"What's wrong with brother Ming? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Jinxuan looked at Xie Ming and asked with concern.
Xie Ming shook his head awkwardly and said, "No, no."
Finally, Du Xuan suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "Mingzi, you can come over at noon from now on. Let's have dinner together and it will be more lively."
"Okay, okay! No problem."
Before Du Xuan finished speaking, Xie Ming nodded eagerly, leaving Du Xuan confused.
Even if Gu Jinxuan admires herself more because of her mother, why does Xie Ming suddenly want to have lunch with her?
However, Du Xuan couldn't figure it out so he didn't bother to think about it. It was more important to practice.
As a result, Du Xuan had to have lunch with Gu Jinxuan and Xie Ming for a long time from then on. However, it was much better than being disturbed by Gu Jinxuan during practice time.
****
On this day, Gu Jinxuan and Xie Ming came to Zhong 237 at the same time.
In the past few days, the two of them came to Du Xuan's residence one after another. But slowly, Xie Ming seemed to figure out Gu Jinxuan's time and waited somewhere in advance. So, the two of them met "by coincidence"
Got up.
The two of them always sit at the stone table in the courtyard earlier than Du Xuan himself. Du Xuan, on the other hand, always waits until the person who delivers the food comes in before returning from the Demonic Cultivation Tower on time and appearing at the door of his house.
.
"Brother Xuan." Gu Jinxuan shouted enthusiastically as soon as she saw Du Xuan.
"Xuanzi, you work too hard. You wait until the food is on the table every day before you come out. You really don't waste any time." Xie Ming joked.
Du Xuan just nodded and smiled without saying much. He sat down at the stone table and started eating.
Because Xie Ming went to the No. 237 Courtyard to eat at noon every day, the servants of Mogu naturally delivered his share of the meal directly. And Gu Jinxuan's meal was delivered directly by the disciples serving in the Guyan Courtyard.
"Jinxuan, how's your training going? Are you sure you can pass the martial arts exam?" Du Xuan asked while eating a big meal.
The martial arts test is not easy. Looking at Gu Jinxuan's figure, Du Xuan doesn't have high hopes.
"Hey, we're still far from it." Gu Jinxuan sighed.
Xie Ming stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's okay, there's still time."
"We don't have much time." Du Xuan said immediately, without paying any attention to the look of protest that Xie Ming cast over him.
Then, Du Xuan asked: "How is the result in the endurance test now?"
"Now we can complete fifteen laps!" Gu Jinxuan said with some pride.
Hearing this, Du Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "What do you mean you can finish the run? You have to finish it in a quarter and a half. How long do you need now?"
Gu Jinxuan, who was a little proud at first, immediately lowered her head and whispered: "Now, probably, two moments, a little more."
"Two moments?" Du Xuan's expression immediately became extremely dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Xie Ming hurriedly said: "Two moments is not bad! Jinxuan has been working very hard recently. I believe it won't be long before she can only use a moment and a half."
Seeing Gu Jinxuan's aggrieved look, Du Xuan sighed and asked, "What about strength and speed?"
After learning the lesson just now, Gu Jinxuan didn't dare to feel proud again, and still whispered: "Strength, sometimes you can break the board twice with two kicks. Speed, speed, about fourteen to five times."
As Gu Jinxuan spoke, she peeked at Du Xuan's reaction.
Sure enough, it was still far away. Du Xuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Gu Jinxuan, and said seriously: "Jinxuan, we only have ** months left, so we can't be lazy and relax. These three assessments of the martial arts examination are all conducted continuously, unlike usual
When exercising at home, you can rest enough before continuing. Moreover, you are almost sixteen now, and your martial arts exams are only the last two, so you must not slack off at all."
"Oh." Gu Jinxuan buried her head, her voice was so low that only she could hear it. There was no need to guess the slightly trembling voice, it was probably her eyes filled with tears again.
"Oh, Du Xuan, what are you doing?" Xie Ming stood up to help Gu Jinxuan again, "Jinxuan is not lazy, there are still several months, there is still time. Jinxuan, it's okay."
Du Xuan sighed. Because of his own experience, he now doesn't want Gu Jinxuan to miss the great opportunity of the martial arts exam. This may be regarded as a kind of sustenance.
After thinking about it, Du Xuan said: "Jinxuan, eat quickly. Only when you are full can you have the strength to exercise. Also, starting from tomorrow, you can climb the mountain with us."
"Mountain climbing?" Gu Jinxuan raised her head and asked in confusion. When she raised her head, her eyes were filled with huge tears for two moments.
Xie Ming was also a little surprised and said: "Jinxuan is so young, isn't it bad?"
Du Xuan rolled his eyes at Xie Ming, then looked at Gu Jinxuan, and said seriously: "Yes, mountain climbing. Starting from tomorrow, at 10 o'clock every day, climb the mountain with me and Mingzi for exercise. I believe it will be helpful to you."
"Mao Shi?" Gu Jinxuan opened her mouth slightly with a look of disbelief on her face.
Du Xuan nodded.
Xie Ming frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Du Xuan, I still feel something is wrong. Jinxuan is too young. If there is anything wrong, how can I explain it to the second elder?"
However, Gu Jinxuan pouted and nodded: "Okay, it's time to climb the mountain."
That’s right!
Du Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Well, okay, I listen to Brother Xuan, I will definitely pass the martial arts exam next year."
"Yeah." Gu Jinxuan also nodded heavily.
However, Xie Ming still looked worried. After thinking about it, he persuaded again: "Xuanzi, this matter is not as simple as eating at noon. Jinxuan is so young. If something unexpected happens, we can't help each other."
I can't bear it. At least, you should at least report it to the second elder first."
"No need!" Gu Jinxuan glared at Xie Ming and said stubbornly, "My mother told me to ask Brother Xuan for advice."
This time, Xie Ming did not follow Gu Jinxuan. He still frowned and looked at Du Xuan worriedly.
Du Xuan thought for a while and said: "Okay, I understand, let's eat."
Everything that needed to be said had been said. Xie Ming sighed and had no choice but to eat and say no more.
After having lunch and seeing off Gu Jinxuan and Xie Ming, Du Xuan returned to the training room as usual to practice the art of weapon refining. However, that night, Du Xuan only practiced magic fighting for an hour after dinner, and then quietly
He walked out of the door and headed towards the back of the Demon Palace.
Du Xuan has not seen the Magic Valley at night for a long time.
In the past, I was bored in my own courtyard, practicing magic fighting. Now it is autumn, without the bright sun during the day, accompanied by the cold wind, my body feels a little chilly.
Walking on the forest path behind the Demon Palace, Du Xuan recalled that when he first came to the Demon Valley, he followed his master Gu Zhikun through the forest. He also remembered that the last time he came to meet the master, he was scolded by him for being negligent in refining weapons.
rebuke.
After a while and a few more days of practice, the master must nod with satisfaction, Du Xuan thought.
When I arrived at the entrance of Gu Zhikun's courtyard, I happened to see Hu Sanzai coming out of the wing.
"Senior Brother Hu San!" Du Xuan shouted softly.
Hearing the shout, Hu San followed the sound and saw Du Xuan standing at the door. He ran to the door in two steps and said strangely: "Come to see the master? Why are you standing at the door? Come in quickly."
Du Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I was just passing by."
"Passing by?" Hu San frowned, how could he pass by here? This place is so remote.
Du Xuan chuckled lightly and asked, "Senior brother, I just want to ask which courtyard the second elder lives in."
"Second Elder?"
Hu San was even more surprised. How could Du Xuan find the second elder for no reason?
Suddenly, Hu San raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and immediately he looked clear and said with a smile: "Oh, Second Elder, Second Elder, go over here, the first house."
After saying that, Hu San added: "Come on!"
Du Xuan was confused. He was about to ask when Hu San urged him again: "Go quickly, otherwise the second elder will take a rest soon, which will be bad."
"Oh, okay, thank you, senior brother." Du Xuan could only say with cupped hands and swallowed the question abruptly.
"It's a small matter, go ahead." Hu San said with a smile.
Du Xuan, who was confused, nodded and looked away from Hu San, not understanding what Hu San was causing.
However, after thinking about it, I still didn't have a clue, so I simply stopped thinking about it. Besides, the second elder's house was not far from Master Gu Zhikun's house, just a few steps away.
Boom, boom, boom!
The door of the second elder's house is locked, unlike the first elder's house, which is always open as long as he is not sleeping.
Creak!
After a moment, the door was opened, and it was Xia Quan who usually delivered meals to Jinxuan.
"Junior brother Du Xuan?" Xia Quan looked surprised and confused, how could Du Xuan come to the second elder's residence.
"Senior Brother Xia." Du Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Can the second elder be there? Junior Brother has something to report."
Strange as it was, Xia Quan nodded and said, "Let me go and report it first, and you can wait here."
"Thank you." Du Xuan thanked him with a smile.
Taking advantage of this moment, Du Xuan was thinking about how to tell the second elder Gu Yan later and how to make the second elder believe in him.
"Junior brother, please." Du Xuan was lost in thought when Xia Quan came back. It seemed that the second elder had not yet fallen asleep and agreed to meet Du Xuan.
Walking into the house, I saw that the layout of the courtyard was almost the same as that of Gu Zhikun, except that there were more flowers and plants in the corners of the courtyard. In fact, the layout of all the houses in the Magic Valley was similar, square and simple.
