Chapter four hundred and eightieth: not the master
Gu Xia had a good relationship with Master Bao over the years, so he thought that Master Bao would at least help him persuade Chu Youyou. After all, Nalan Ruying was also one of the candidates to succeed the head of the family, and helping him was equivalent to helping his wife.
Besides, there are so many talented people in the same sect, missing Chu Youyou will have no impact at all, but the Ghost Sword Sect is different. The high-level disciples are seriously out of line, and he, Gu Xia, is indispensable!
Seeing that it had been more than a month since he returned to Ghost Sword Sect, but there was still no news from there, he became restless.!
Listening to the disciples' reports, he was a little distracted. At this moment, the disciple he arranged to pay attention to the news about Guiyi Sect came over, and he quickly asked.
"Reporting to the sect master, Elder Xiao Huo of Guiyi Sect has issued a "calling order" a few days ago!"
Gu Xia suddenly became more energetic and said: "What is the order?"
"Uh..." The disciple who answered couldn't help but laugh: "It's said that he is calling on his disciples to open up wasteland and plant spiritual grass!"
Gu Xia froze for a moment, not sure what she heard: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The disciple thought that Gu Xia felt as funny as he did, so he quickly said it again, emphasizing the four words "opening up wasteland and cultivating land", and smiled to himself, completely unaware that Gu Xia's face turned dark.
"Go, go, I don't care what's important!" The disappointed Gu Xia waved his hand and let the disciple go out. "Don't come back to me with such boring news in the future!"
The disciple had no choice but to leave dejectedly, turned around and muttered in a low voice: "You said that as long as there is any news about Guiyi Sect, you will report everything, no matter how big or small..."
After walking a few steps, I bumped into a fellow student. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, I asked, "Junior Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?"
"Senior Brother Feng, it's nothing. I just think that since Senior Brother Gu became the head of the sect, his temper has become even weirder..." He became more and more unreasonable.
Senior Brother Feng said with a smile: "I guess I've hit a snag again. Please be considerate to me, Master."
"Alas!" Junior Brother Liu thought to himself, he has already gone to show sympathy to the sect master, but who is going to show sympathy to him, a little ordinary disciple?
But in fact, no one really cares about the joys and sorrows of little people, and they won't care.
Junior Brother Liu thought about the news he had just received about the Guiyi Sect, and suddenly became disheartened about cultivation.
"Cultivators have to farm the land...why do you want to become an immortal?"
Gu Xia didn't know about all this, and Mr. Bao certainly didn't know about it.
Even if they knew it, it would not affect their decision. After all, the world is so big and people's hearts are so complex that almost nothing can be agreed upon by everyone.
Most of the time, you should firmly choose what you want to do. As long as it is not harmful to nature, there is no need to look forward or backward!
In the past few decades since the Ascension Channel was opened, the cultivators in this world have entered the golden ascension period. Most of them have accumulated a lot of experience. Of course, there are also many who are barely qualified but cannot withstand the ninety-nine and eighty-one thunders, such as the ancient elders.
The earliest Dongrongshan people.
Therefore, ascension is never smooth sailing, nor will it be a matter of course.
For ordinary people, even if Han Chuang studied hard for decades and was named on the gold list, he only had the qualifications to serve as an official in the imperial court. How great an official you can be has nothing to do with your ranking in the imperial examination.
Let’s talk about cultivators, Hong Jin reached the late stage of Xiantian cultivation very early, and reached the peak within a few years after the ascension channel was opened. Logically speaking, he should have ascended early, but in fact, he was a cultivator with stronger talents at the same time.
Among them, the last one to ascend.
As for Elder Chi, if he followed the general path of cultivation, he would probably be able to live for three to four hundred years, and even five hundred years would be enough.
But by chance, he actually ascended early, and he didn't delay his hobbies at all, refining as many spiritual weapons as a treasure house.
Of course, regardless of whether your talent is good or bad, you will definitely not be able to ascend if you don’t practice.
It's just these examples of successful ascension that make many cultivators with ordinary talents a little confused.
Is talent or opportunity more important?
Among hundreds of thousands or even millions of practitioners, there will always be some who give up halfway or are left behind for various reasons. No one can save everyone.
The opportunity to ascend is relatively fair to everyone, but the outcome depends on each person's fate.
Sometimes all the help or resistance you have experienced is a gear that advances your destiny. Every choice and every effort is crucial.
Gu Xia felt that perhaps he had encountered the biggest resistance now. It was not that his cultivation was stagnant, nor that his material supply could not keep up, but that his heart could no longer be calm and free.
In the past, when he saw those Taoist monks who were crazy about love, he never sneered at them, but he didn't take them seriously either.
If a cultivator goes against the will of nature and changes his destiny to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, any emotions that will hold him back should be abandoned.
Otherwise, why have you persisted for so many years?
But when he was truly touched and moved, he understood that even if he knew that he would be disturbed by it, his heart could not be taken back, and love could not be broken off.
He held on and refused to admit defeat, treating this relationship as a disaster, and as long as he got through it, he would overcome the disaster.
And Chu Youyou thought the same way. In some aspects, the two of them actually got along quite well.
Jin Mang ended his training in Miao Realm and returned to Guiyi Sect. He soon realized that something was wrong with his beloved disciple. When he learned that he was trapped by love, he shook his head with a wry smile.
Chu Youyou's present is his past.
Maybe this is really a love disaster. After experiencing it, you will definitely become a better version of yourself and know what you should be like.
Yan Qingzheng learned about the emotional entanglement between the two through Jin Mang. It was hard to imagine that Gu Xia would be attracted to a woman.
For this reason, she really thought about the fact that she was not the only candidate for heir, so she went to find Nalan Ruying.
"Cousin, I don't want to be the leader..." Nalan Ruying didn't want to go against her will, but she was also afraid of offending her cousin, her voice was like a mosquito.
"Why?" Yan Qingzheng did not expect that the cultivators all over the world would envy him to be the head of a sect, but this girl would actually have a look of disgust on her face.
"I...I don't have that ability!" Nalan Ruying said in a whisper.
"Ability can be cultivated. I think sometimes many of your ideas have the pattern of a superior."
"That's all nonsense. Besides, you said it all from time to time. This is so unreliable."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending to refuse, Yan Qing thought for a while and said, "Of course I won't force you, but you can think about it carefully. After all, this is a very important decision. Don't jump to conclusions easily."
Before leaving, Yan Qing was telling Mr. Bao to inquire about it.
Mr. Bao had asked before, and now he just wanted to confirm her firmness and reasons.
"The Guiyi Sect... always has to be left in the hands of someone who can fully agree with the concept. Naturally, your cousin has her own considerations in doing this, and it is also a recognition of your ability. Do you really not consider it?"
Nalan Ruying slowly but firmly shook his head: "I can continue to guard the Guiyi Sect, but I don't want to be the leader."
Mr. Bao has gotten to know her deeply over the years that he has been married to her. Nalan Ruying, who seems weak and independent, is easy to talk to, but once she makes a decision, no one can change it.
"Since you are determined to protect the Gui Yi Sect, wouldn't it be better to be the leader?"
"No!" Nalan Ruying pouted unhappily, not wanting to be forced by the person she loved most.
"Okay, okay... If you don't want to be the leader, I won't do it." Mr. Bao immediately promised upon seeing him, "No one will force you again in the future."
Nalan Ruying then said a dull "hmm".
"However, at least give me a definite reason. You have also seen that your cousin doesn't seem to want to give up." Mr. Bao asked softly after coaxing her.
Nalan Ruying thought for a while and then said: "You also know that I have a thunder spirit body. Apart from weapon refining, my cultivation talent is really average."
"Then...so what? No one stipulates that the leader must be the number one master in the sect!"
"But, you have to ascend sooner or later!" Nalan Ruying's eyes turned red as she spoke. After pouring out all her years of forbearance, she first shed two lines of clear tears.
"Are you... afraid that I will ascend?" Master Bao was stunned for a moment before asking.
"No, I want you to ascend! I want you to ascend! I'm looking forward to your ascending!" Nalan Ruying was so anxious that she stamped her feet and shouted.
"Okay, I understand, I understand." Mr. Bao said quickly: "Then what do you think?"
Nalan Ruying sniffed, wiped away the tears of disappointment, and said aggrievedly: "You also know that I am stupid. I have to concentrate all my energy just on researching weapon refining. I don't have any spare time for anything.
Leader!"
Nalan Ruying was really going to be pissed off by Mr. Bao. Wasn't everything she was thinking about being able to ascend as soon as possible so that she could continue to be a couple with him in the fairy world in the future?
"You mean?" Mr. Bao suddenly lost his mind in this situation.
"You are going to ascend in a few years. It's still early for me. If I don't do my best, if you wait a hundred and eighty years for me to ascend, you would have already... long... long ago... found a new love in the fairy world.
manage!"
Nalan Ruying spoke louder and louder, becoming more and more aggrieved. She even imagined that situation. The grievance and pain suddenly burst out in her heart. She cried "Wow", and Mr. Bao hurriedly comforted her.
"No, I will wait for you." Pat her back.
"I know that you will wait at first, ten years, twenty years, fifty years... But what if it is a hundred years? What about two hundred years? You must be impatient with waiting! So you kicked me.
Just like before!" Nalan Ruying cried so hard that Mr. Bao felt heartbroken, but what she said also made him laugh.
"You...you still remember!" Mr. Bao couldn't laugh or cry. He kicked her during the competition when they first met, but he didn't expect to remember it now...
"I will never forget it!" Nalan Ruying glared at Mr. Bao with a thick nasal voice.
Mr. Bao couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, causing Nalan Ruying to beat him.
Mr. Bao let her vent, and after a long while when she was tired, he hugged her and said, "Believe in me, believe in yourself, and believe in our love."
"I believe it." Nalan Ruying blinked, tears falling down: "I want to believe it, but one hundred years, two hundred years, is too long!"
"It's only been a hundred or two hundred years, so you don't believe me? We will stay together in the fairy world for tens of millions of years in the future!"
Mr. Bao spoke softly, gently shook the woman in his arms, and made less formal promises about the future and the rest of his life.
But it was strangely convincing. Nalan Ruying thought about it for a while, then said "Yes" and hugged him tighter.
"If you dare to betray me, I will ask my cousin to beat you!"
Nalan Ruying had thought about it, if he couldn't ascend, that would be fine. If he ascended but was abandoned, he would ask Yan Qingzheng to beat up Mr. Bao!
No matter whether I am in the lower world or in the fairy world in the future, no one can bully me anymore. I have a backing!
Mr. Bao smiled heartily and kissed her deeply: "It's a deal!"
