I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 194: A thrilling moment

This was a question Gu Lan had never thought about.

She always thought she could go back, so she never responded to other people's feelings.

But she responded to family and friendship.

It was natural for her to develop deep feelings for her master and fellow apprentices. It seemed that she had accepted this feeling from the beginning, and even felt a huge sense of anger and urgency because she knew their tragic future.

At that time, she had never thought that one day she would be so heartbroken by separation that she would be unable to let go.

She also never hesitated in her friendship with Shanling, Baoyin, Axiu and others.

The female cultivators in the world of cultivation are lovely and straightforward, with flesh and blood, love and hate, and they live freely and unrestrainedly. Gu Lan is attracted to them and infected by them. Although he shoulders the heavy responsibility of bringing glory to the sect and moves forward with a heavy burden, he receives their help along the way.

In fact, Shanling is wrong. Many times, she is not the only one who bears everything.

It is because we know that everyone is standing behind us that we will be braver and more powerful.

As for... As for matters of love, yes, she had long known that she was a coward. She guarded her heart and never let anyone get close to her, even if it was Ji Yanli... Even if it was him, what Gu Lan gave her was more friendship.

She hoped that Ji Yanli would face up to the reality, step into the reality, and delve into the reality. Although the spiritual stone mines could ensure his prosperity and allow him to live a carefree life, they could not bring real security.

Even with the support of Xuantian Sword Sect, he still has to rely on himself to walk the path of cultivation step by step.

Gu Lan hopes that Ji Yanli can go further and become stronger, and his life will be more brilliant.

As for other people, Gu Lan felt that they also had their own paths to follow. As for what would happen with them, Gu Lan had never thought about it.

When Shan Ling said this, Gu Lan knew that she was sincerely thinking about her, but she really found it difficult to respond and didn't want to answer this question.

Shan Ling saw Gu Lan's expression changing and wondered what she was thinking about. She was about to say something but Gu Lan just smiled.

"Actually, I know. I know everything Ji Yanli does, but he didn't say it, so I don't want to point it out."

"I heard that you rejected Ling Yebai from Xuantian Sword Sect. What you mean by "breaking the matter" is not to reject Ji Yanli's gift." Shan Ling thought of this instinctively and said it out loud.

Gu Lan was stunned. She had never told anyone about this. Was Ling Yebai a big mouth? Did he spread the news himself? But, wouldn't that make him even more embarrassed? Why would he tell anyone?

Gu Lan and Ling Yebai would never tell this to anyone, but the few people in Xuantian Sword Sect who passed the love letter that day could not hold it in, as this matter was quite explosive.

It was really frustrating to hold in such explosive gossip but not be able to tell it to anyone, so I kept it in for a while, secretly told my best friends, and repeatedly warned them not to tell anyone.

It would be fine if you didn't remind me, but once you do, the gossip will spread even faster and it will be impossible to suppress it.

The truth could not be hidden, and everyone’s gossip network was instantly activated, and the matter spread quickly.

It's just that the person involved was under strict surveillance.

Gu Lan raised an eyebrow and thought: I didn't expect Ling Yebai to be... so self-destructive and reveal gossips about himself for others to gossip about. I really didn't expect it.

"I..." Gu Lan was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a fishing boat not far away.

I saw several huge black shadows appearing under the fishing boat, but the people on the boat were busy putting the caught fish into the cabin, and no one noticed what was happening under the boat.

When Gu Lan noticed it, Shan Ling also saw it following her line of sight.

The two looked at each other, summoned their magic swords at the same time, and flew away quickly as one.

Almost at the same time, Ji Yanli and others felt the ship shake. Before they could say anything, they heard a painful groan from the hull, and the whole ship was suddenly dragged down by an unstoppable strange force.

The inertia caused by the dragging caused the fisherman to roll in the cabin before he could understand what was happening.

The screams continued to be heard.

Ji Yanli, Xue Hao and Shao Yu were the only three cultivators on the entire boat. Seeing that the situation was not right, one of them grabbed the fisherman next to him and quickly flew up on his sword, without any time to take care of the other fishermen who were farther away.

The fishermen who were still tumbling in the boat, watching the others rise into the air, stretched out their hands in fear and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Help! Help me!"

Before the voice had finished shouting, there was a splash and the entire boat was dragged down in an instant, with countless white foam emerging.

Gulp...

Then the white foam rolled out bright red blood, which quickly spread out and formed a huge strange blood flower.

That is the blood of fish and humans, the smell is pungent!

Ji Yanli, Xue Hao and Shao Yu had never encountered such a strange thing. Although they reacted promptly, due to the urgency of the incident and the remote location of the fishermen, they were unable to rescue them in time and were only able to save a few fishermen around them.

The fishermen who were brought into the air by the monks saw that the huge fishing boat that was full of big fish just now was swallowed up in an instant, with only shocking blood bubbles bubbling out, and they were terrified.

My heart was beating like a drum, the veins on my forehead were throbbing, my legs were cramping with fear, my lower body was hot and wet, and I wet my pants.

When several people smelled the smell of urine, two magic swords arrived.

The sword flashed and suddenly dived into the water.

Gu Lan and Shan Ling, who flew over later, looked confused. What happened just now happened too quickly and they didn't see it clearly.

When they flew over, they saw several people still in shock, stepping on the swords.

"Are you injured?" Gu Lan looked Xue Hao up and down and asked anxiously.

"No." Xue Hao put the fisherman who was scared to the point of peeing his pants behind him. He was the only fisherman around him and he had no time to take him with him. Now that he put him down, Xue Hao realized that he was also scared and his hands couldn't stop shaking. "Sister, can you see clearly what that is?"

Gu Lan and Shan Ling shook their heads. "We only saw a few huge shadows lying on the bottom of the boat. It was too late to warn you."

As he was speaking, two magic swords were suddenly thrown out of the water with great force and speed, and they came straight towards the few people.

Everyone was shocked and quickly dispersed.

Shan Ling and Gu Lan flew after the sword and rose high into the sky.

Ji Yanli felt a sound of wind behind him, and he suddenly hovered and rushed forward, but the wind behind him did not subside and the speed was even faster. Ji Yanli had no time to look back and rushed forward.

The fishermen behind him also felt the threat and dared not move. They shrank their bodies and grabbed Ji Yanli's clothes tightly, pulling them out of shape. The collar suddenly narrowed and pressed against Ji Yanli's throat.

Ji Yanli was about to break free, but he didn't expect something to happen in front of him. When he realized it in shock, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and a huge shadow came down on his head. He couldn't dodge in time, and he only smelled a nauseating fishy stench. The next moment, he and the fisherman were sucked in.

Gu Lan grabbed the mirror and looked down, just in time to see Ji Yanli and the fisherman being swept into the sea by the black shadow.

"Season Banquet Ceremony!"

Gu Lan didn't think about anything else and dived into the sea.

"Senior Sister!" Xue Hao shouted hoarsely, but it was too late.
