Chapter 416 This isn't a charlatan, it's a ghost!
Hearing the voice, Gu Qingyue raised her head, concealing her blank and confused expression. "Compensation?" Her eyes cleared for a moment before she lowered her head again.
She was just thinking about the old monk's last words, and they sounded really strange to her.
The world is vast, and there isn't just one; there are many!
That's right, she knows. Her coming here from another world is proof enough.
What exactly was the old monk trying to say?
If you can't figure it out, put this question aside for now.
Think again about what the old monk just said.
First, they knew their background: they were visitors from another world.
Secondly, he said that he would face some kind of calamity in the future and that he would have to overcome it himself.
Thirdly, he said that his coming here was due to cause and effect, and that he was bound to come, but he didn't know why.
I felt increasingly lost. Oh well, I'll put it aside for now. The old monk said he'd understand later, so I'll think about it when I have time.
When she looked up again, she found that Gu Yuanen had already walked far away and headed towards the old monk's room.
Gu Qingyue turned around and looked at Jiang Wan blankly, "What happened? Where did Fourth Brother go?"
Jiang Wan sighed, her face full of worry, "The Fourth Young Master must have gone to seek justice for his master."
Gu Qingyue was startled. What? Seeking justice?
She quickly chased after Gu Yuanen.
But it was too late. He heard Gu Yuanen push open Master Chen's door and say, "Master, why are you so petty? My sister was wrong yesterday, but wasn't it because you hurt her first?"
Gu Qingyue rubbed her forehead, but felt a warm glow in her heart.
"Fourth Brother, it's a misunderstanding, Master..."
"Don't be afraid, Fourth Brother won't abandon us, don't worry," Gu Yuanen interrupted Gu Qingyue, glaring angrily at Master Chen.
Even though he was furious, he still politely cupped his hands in greeting, maintaining the demeanor befitting a young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
"How much compensation does the master need? I will pay the compensation on behalf of my sister. I hope the master will forgive me."
Gu Qingyue sighed again, then quickly nodded to the smiling Master Liaochen, grabbed Gu Yuanen's sleeve, and left quickly.
That night, lying on the bed in the side room, Gu Qingyue felt uncomfortable because the bed board was a bit hard.
She tossed and turned for a long time before finally sitting up.
She suddenly remembered that when she first came into this world, she was lying in the grass. Later, Rong Qingqing rescued her and took her to a dilapidated temple. She slept on the straw for one night, and then slept in the woodshed in Rhino Town.
Now, I'm actually starting to feel uncomfortable with a slightly firmer bed.
Sure enough, they were living too comfortably and forgot about the difficulties they had faced before.
Just like her now, she's having such a smooth life that she's forgotten the dangers that lurk all around her.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace!
She shouldn't forget!
Then let's plan ahead! Didn't the old monk say that to avert disaster, we have to make our own efforts?
She rolled out of bed, took out her night clothes from her luggage, put on a silver mask, and in a flash, flew out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.
Fifteen minutes later, she stood by the back gate of the temple. Ah!
That old monk actually knew what I was going to do, and even chose such a memorable place for me!
Gu Qingyue drew her twin swords from her waist, smashed through the window, and once again engaged the shadowy figure in battle!
Master Liaochen truly lives up to his reputation as a charlatan!
Gu Qingyue came out of her room and went straight to Master Chen's room, but the old monk was not there!
She used her spiritual power to search for a long time before finally finding this place!
He actually knew all along that he wouldn't give up and would come to settle accounts with him, so he came here in advance to wait!
Ha ha!
Then she wouldn't hold back!
Gu Qingyue unleashed her full power, wielding the willow-leaf twin swords to their fullest potential.
She has made tremendous progress compared to before!
Although she was skilled with daggers and military bayonets, she could not disgrace her master's reputation. Since returning to the capital, she would take time every day to practice her willow-leaf double swords at the martial arts training ground in the mansion.
Of course, she wouldn't let anyone else in the manor see that she knew martial arts. Apart from the second branch of the family, only the old Duke, Gu Yi, and the steward knew about it.
"Good swordsmanship!"
Finally, Gu Qingyue was sent flying by the old monk's palm strike once again.
So angry!
Hearing this sentence made me even angrier.
She used two swords, while her opponent was unarmed; in the end, it was still the predetermined outcome.
Gu Qingyue did a somersault in the air and landed steadily in the courtyard. Staring at the low house, she said, "Master, you are too kind, but I will not thank you!"
"Hahaha-----" Master Chen's loud laughter came from inside the door.
The door creaked open, and Master Liaochen stood with his hands in his sleeves under the eaves, smiling at Gu Qingyue, "This little girl has quite a temper."
Gu Qingyue snorted coldly, "Master injured me here last time, and won again this time. Of course you're happy. It's normal for me to be a little petty and angry."
"Haha-----Amitabha, you misunderstand, benefactor. I admire you, young benefactor, and that's why I wanted to test you. It just so happened that you got hurt. Doesn't that just prove that you should work harder?"
The old monk's smile was enigmatic.
What do you mean? Was last time a test? To see if her martial arts skills were up to par?
So the conclusion is that she's still very inexperienced and needs to work harder!
Can't you explain it clearly?
"What good ideas does the master have?" Gu Qingyue had figured this out, smiled slyly, and spoke with an unprecedentedly good attitude.
"You are very wise, benefactor. Hehe, that's enough for today," he said, and then floated away.
Gu Qingyue: This isn't a charlatan, it's a ghost!
How can a person's lightness skill reach such a level?
However, as she thought of something, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
For the next few days, as soon as it got dark, Gu Qingyue would put on her night clothes and a mask and go to the house to wait for the old monk.
The old monk arrived on time, and as soon as he did, he started a fierce battle that turned the world upside down and changed the very color of the sky.
"Old monk, why don't you become my second master?" Gu Qingyue said, slumping wearily in her small armchair and looking at Master Liaochen, who was leisurely drinking tea.
Upon hearing this, Master Liaochen's lips twitched. Second Master?
He wants to be subordinate to that young punk Liu Yuan?
Of course, in Master Liaochen's mind, Liu Yuan, who was only in his early forties, was just a young upstart.
However, he had to admit that it was indeed fortunate for Gu Qingyue to meet Liu Yuan.
The disciples of Fengyun Sect are no ordinary people.
I guess the little girl doesn't know this yet.
“I’m used to being a free and easy monk. I’ll be traveling around in a while, so I don’t have time to be your master,” Master Liaochen said directly.
Gu Qingyue sighed, "But I still can't beat you."
Master Liaochen's lips twitched again. He thought he could defeat him after only four or five days of training?!
“Heh------” came the old monk’s voice.
The old monk uttered a contemptuous sneer, which Gu Qingyue recognized.
She sat up straight. "Then, could you teach me some more amazing skills?"
"A unique skill?" Master Liaochen turned around and looked at the little girl.
"Yeah, your signature move, like your incredibly light-footed agility?"
