Chapter 161 Candied Haws
"So what do you plan to do?" Before he could speak, Yun Fuzhao continued, "Stay in the Boundless Sword Sect until your cultivation recovers. I've entrusted Qi Huai to handle the Eclipse matter for you."
Gokui hadn't expected her to be so thoughtful; given his current condition, he really couldn't return to Eclipse.
His visit to the Boundless Sword Sect had already angered many of the wolf clans, who believed he was degrading himself and associating with a second-rate sect.
If the wolf clan finds out that his cultivation has been halved, he will be forced off the stage within half a day.
"it is good."
Yun Fuzhao thought for a moment, then said earnestly, "You can continue to cultivate even if you lose your cultivation level, but once you lose your life, it's truly over."
"..." Goquim paused for a few seconds, then realized what she meant, and his lips curled up into a rare smile.
Yun Fuzhao blinked. This man was completely different when he smiled and when he didn't. When he didn't smile, he was like a living Yama, and if you looked at him too long, you would have your eyes gouged out. When he smiled, however, he was approachable.
Are you afraid I'll take my own life?
Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Losing so much cultivation overnight, if it were me..."
She paused for a moment. If she lost half of her cultivation, she probably wouldn't have any special reaction.
As the old saying goes, if you fall down, just lie down there.
Life has repeatedly battered me, and my flesh has become surprisingly chewy and firm.
Yun Fuzhao didn't continue speaking, but Ge Kui understood her expression.
He began, "I am different from my father. If I am humiliated, I don't think of ending my own life, but rather..."
With his beastly eyes fixed on Yun Fuzhao, Ge Kui said, word by word, "Make those who have humiliated me pay the price."
His eyes were dangerous and cold, carrying the natural arrogance and disdain of a top predator.
Wolves are indeed proud animals.
With that mindset, he'll succeed at anything. It's just a matter of time.
Yun Fuzhao didn't say anything more, "I'm relieved to see you like this."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "You should rest and recover here first. I'll take care of the rest."
Gokui was taken aback, his beastly eyes swirling with complex emotions. After a long while, he finally said, "You don't have to go to such lengths for me. We're just allies, aren't we?"
After he finished speaking, his heart started beating a little faster, as if he was expecting a different answer.
"It was just a matter of convenience," Yun Fuzhao said frankly. "My master is also injured, and Xie Wan has also been afflicted by the love curse, so it's very necessary to find a divine doctor."
Gokui: "..."
So he was just an afterthought.
Yun Fuzhao wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Ge Kui's face had darkened a shade. She quickly recovered and added, "Of course, it's for you too. But you can't find a good ally like me who's willing to sacrifice himself for others even with a lantern. You should be grateful."
“Yun Fuzhao”.
"what?"
Gokui raised his hand and tugged at her face. "You're not even that thick-skinned. How can you be so narcissistic?"
Yun Fuzhao slapped his hand away impatiently, "I know, honest advice is always hard to hear."
"..."
After exchanging a few more words, Yun Fuzhao left his room and turned right to visit Qu Wangzhi.
Zhan Miaoyan remained there, sitting to the side, tears streaming down her face as she watched the unconscious Qu Wangzhi.
Yun Fuzhao patted her shoulder reassuringly, "Master's wife, don't worry too much. I will bring the Heavenly Mountain Divine Physician back."
Zhan Miaoyan gently wiped away her tears, her gaze lingering on his face. After a long while, she whispered, "They all used to say that your master would be the first cultivator from the Guanshan Sect to ascend to immortality. He was exceptionally talented, able to draw a sixth-grade array at the age of ten. And at the age of twenty, he created the Two Elements Micro Dust Array, which has remained on the rankings ever since. Back then, 'genius beyond compare' was the only word used to describe him..."
She vaguely remembered Yun Fuzhao of the Guanshan Sect, whom she mentioned; she had seen records of this sect in the history of cultivation.
At that time, the Guanshan Sect was the number one sect in the cultivation world, ranking alongside the Rebirth Hall. The Xuantian Sect and Lingyue Sect were still insignificant sects whose names were barely recognizable.
Yun Fuzhao remembered that Wei Heyu also came from the Guanshan Sect. Later, for unknown reasons, he left the Guanshan Sect and founded the current Wuya Sword Sect.
When Yun Fuzhao saw this, she curiously asked Wei Heyu why he left. She thought it was because Wei Laozu was dissatisfied with the status quo and had nowhere to display his talents.
Unexpectedly, Wei Heyu answered Yun Fuzhao's question very frankly.
[He Yu, 3rd Guard of the Yun Family Brigade: Because they're too curly, I can't curl them up.]
Yun Fuzhao: [...]
What a simple and unpretentious answer.
In short, the Guanshan Sect is undoubtedly one of the most significant figures in the history of cultivation. It's a pity that such a powerful sect suddenly declined for some unknown reason.
Such a momentous event was only briefly mentioned in the history of cultivation, described merely as an unsolved mystery.
When asked, Wei Heyu also said he didn't know.
However, he had already ascended to heaven by then, so it's normal that he didn't know.
Yun Fuzhao was truly surprised that Qu Wangzhi was actually a disciple of the Guanshan Sect, and even more so, that he had stood out among the many geniuses of the Guanshan Sect. One can only imagine how outstanding he must have been back then.
"What then?"
Since he's a genius, shouldn't he have ascended to immortality long ago?
"Later, he was backfired by his own formation, his meridians were damaged, and he was attacked by people from the Hall of Rebirth, falling off a cliff." Zhan Miaoyan's tone gradually became low. "If he hadn't come to Peach Blossom Village that time, I would have thought he was dead."
Yun Fuzhao clicked her tongue in amazement; her master truly had a life full of misfortunes.
Zhan Miaoyan shook her head. "I accidentally said so much. Fu Zhao, don't worry, I'll take care of your master. I'll leave the matter of the divine doctor to you."
"Don't worry, Master's wife," Yun Fuzhao looked at her, "I will help Master return to his peak."
Yun Fuzhao doesn't consider herself to be particularly responsible, but having been at the Boundless Sword Sect for so long, she has long since developed feelings for this place.
Not to mention her cheap master, who wasn't bad to her at all.
If Qu Wangzhi hadn't forcibly activated the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array at the Xuan Tian Sect, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
She is still grateful.
Yun Fuzhao stepped out of the room. Outside, dark clouds gathered, thick and heavy, making one feel depressed.
As Yun Fuzhao was pondering how to find this divine doctor from Tianshan, a bright red candied hawthorn suddenly appeared before him.
She was taken aback and turned her head to look at Qi Huai, who was staring at her with a smile in his eyes. "I've heard that sweets can make people feel happy."
Yun Fuzhao took it, somewhat surprised, as the Boundless Sword Sect didn't have candied hawthorns. "Where did you get these?"
"I just went to the human realm." Qi Huai raised his chin slightly. "Try it."
Yun Fuzhao nodded, took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste awakened her taste buds. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction, "Delicious."
Seeing his handsome face, Yun Fuzhao suddenly remembered the compensation he had promised him. "I'm about to set off to find the divine doctor. Now, tell me about the compensation you mentioned, or I won't have time to fulfill it for you."
With a slight glint in his eyes, Qi Huai slowly said, "I'm afraid what I want is something you can't give me."
