All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 444 - 267: Resolving the Knots of a Former Life, Comprehending Sword Four’s Knowledge with Whom to Share_2
"Elder Su saved a member of my Gu Family. We have no way to repay this kindness. If Elder Su has any commands, the entire Gu Family will certainly not refuse."
"We are willing to serve Elder Su faithfully and diligently, without hesitation!"
"..."
As soon as Gu Lin received the message from Gu Nan and heard the name Su Bei, he always felt as though he had heard it somewhere before.
He had his disciples investigate and immediately learned the identity of the man before him!
His heart skipped a beat.
This Su Bei was none other than the Elder Su of the Sword Sect who was personally bestowed the golden plaque ’Half-Step into Dao Integration’ by the Saintess at the Ascension Platform!
Who was he? The undisputed number one person below Dao Integration indeed!
Such a great cultivator, blessed by heavens and earth, could benefit the Gu Family immensely with just a few casual pointers. And that’s not to mention the rumored Tribulation-Crossing Stage cultivator accompanying him!
For the Gu Family, this was undoubtedly a great heavenly opportunity!
—In his excitement, he had even opened the coffins beneath the ancestral tomb, awakening several Grand Elders.
"About that Elder Su, my son Qingfeng previously offended Elder Su somewhat..."
"..."
Outside the hall, everyone who heard Gu Lin’s words couldn’t help but feel their pupils constrict; they sucked in a sharp breath.
Could it be that this man was from the Sword Sect? And he was the one recognized not long ago as the number one expert below Dao Integration?
Suddenly, a long-lost ’DING!’ sounded in Su Bei’s mind.
The next moment, a mechanical voice echoed in Su Bei’s mind:
"The Host’s eldest disciple, Xiao Ruoching, has broken through to Mid Stage Golden Core, and the second disciple, Mo Li, has broken through to Mid Stage Golden Core. Random ten-thousand-fold multiplier triggered. Congratulations to the Host for receiving a nine-thousand-fold reward!"
"Cultivation successfully broke through to Peak Refining Void. Current realm: Peak Refining Void!"
"Congratulations to the Host’s eldest disciple, Xiao Ruoching, and second disciple, Mo Li, for comprehending the fourth form of the Sword Scripture: ’Knowing with Whom to Share’!"
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully comprehending the fourth form of the Sword Scripture: ’Knowing with Whom to Share’ (100x proficiency)."
"Current number of disciples (3/4)."
"Realms comprehended by Host: Selfless Realm, Microcosmic Realm."
"..."
A breeze swept through.
All of a sudden, countless spiritual energies surged throughout the world. A terrifying aura swirled around Su Bei for just an instant, but it was enough to make everyone present tremble.
Ji Nanjue, standing beside Su Bei, narrowed her eyes. Sensing Su Bei’s current state, she was instantly startled.
Had he made a breakthrough?
Could he have used this period of gloom to break through?
She could clearly feel the gloom surrounding Su Bei dissipating, his body returning to normal.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her doubts, planning to ask him when it was quiet later that night.
Having ascended to Peak Refining Void, Su Bei seized the opportunity of this breakthrough to finally suppress the lingering gloom in his heart.
He smiled at Gu Lin and said, "It’s nothing..."
Having regained his previous state of mind, he naturally didn’t mind such a trivial matter. But then he looked at Gu Qingfeng, his eyes twinkling, and teased, "Hero Gu, why is your face so pale? When I saw you a few days ago, I even thought of offering you some pointers. You left too quickly; I couldn’t even keep up."
"..."
His expression was calm and gentle, without a hint of arrogance, giving him an approachable aura.
Nan Ji glanced at the man beside her who was feigning innocence. She had been worried about his condition, but her concern now slowly eased.
Suppressing a smile, she kept her head down, refusing to look at him.
Just a beast feigning innocence, only to reveal his ferocious nature at night. What kind of person was he? HMPH!
Gu Qingfeng was immediately startled and instinctively glanced at his father, only to find his father’s gaze intently fixed on him. Then, his father’s telepathic message came through:
"Qingfeng, this esteemed senior represents an opportunity you cannot afford to miss."
"I’ve already heard about the cause and effect from your second uncle. A cultivated and honorable person like Lord Su would definitely not bear any grudge over your careless joke!"
"If you can win Elder Su’s favor and he offers you a few casual pointers, your future prospects will likely be limitless!"
"If he takes a liking to you and you become eligible to enter the Sword Sect, our entire Gu Family will bask in your glory."
"..."
Adjusting his mindset, Gu Qingfeng looked at Su Bei with respect and said, "Previously, I was unaware of Milord’s status. I only saw Milord surrounded by those Grass Bandits, and my body instinctively..."
Although he had made up his mind to seize this rare opportunity, how could he not be nervous? He was in the presence of someone who could pierce through eight formidable mysterious individuals with a single sword strike. And the masked woman beside him could turn a terrifying Evil Cultivator into Ice Crystals with a mere gesture.
Su Bei found this amusing. He even noticed Nan Ji beside him involuntarily trembling, seemingly trying to suppress her laughter at him.
How could he not see through the Gu Family’s little schemes?
But observing the youths of the Gu Family, Su Bei couldn’t help but ponder privately.
Perhaps he really did need some people to do some menial tasks for him. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
This wasn’t the Eastern Country, so there were no Sword Sect Disciples to command. Using some ’natives’ temporarily was indeed economical.
With this thought, Su Bei’s demeanor became even friendlier. With a gentle wave of his hand, he helped Gu Qingfeng to his feet and chuckled, "Why are you so afraid of Su Mou, Young Master Gu?"
"I’m hardly a terrifying demon or evil spirit. Your previous actions were merely a misunderstanding; your intention was to do good. What is there to fear?"
