All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 445 - 267: Resolving the Knots of a Former Life, Comprehending Sword Four’s Knowledge with Whom to Share_3
"Why so tense?"
"..."
Ji Nanjue choked on her tea for a moment, and then Su Bei firmly stepped on her embroidered shoe with her large foot, prompting Ji Nanjue to give Su Bei a fierce glare.
Gu Lin added with a smile at just the right time, "Exactly, exactly."
"Elder Su, my son Qingfeng is a rare King of Guns Body that appears once in a hundred years. You see..."
"..."
Su Bei glanced meaningfully at the Gu Family Master but didn’t respond to his words. Standing up, she turned to Gu Qingfeng and said, "You, come with me. I have some questions for you."
"Alright, and the rest of you don’t need to crowd here anymore. Disperse."
"..."
Gu Qingfeng was taken aback, while Gu Lin, next to him, was so excited he nearly jumped up, gesturing wildly at him!
Su Bei clas алюминийher hands behind her back and left, with Ji Nanjue following silently.
The three of them then vanished from the sight of the Gu Family Disciples.
The moment Su Bei stepped out, the tense atmosphere in the room vanished instantly, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Family Head, why did Elder Su suddenly exude that terrifying aura just now? It frightened me so much I didn’t dare look up, but then it disappeared..."
Gu Lin glanced at that disciple and said somberly, "That was Elder Su establishing her dominance over our Gu Family—a common tactic used by experts. First, intimidate with a big stick, then offer a carrot for comfort... Understand?"
The Gu Family disciple seemed to realize. An elder beside him thought for a moment and then also spoke, "Family Head, I don’t know why, but Elder Su seemed somewhat approachable. It was the woman with her... Just one glance from her made my whole body go numb; I couldn’t move..."
"Yes, Elder Su looks quite amiable, but who is that woman following her? What’s her identity? She’s terrifying!"
"Could she also be an elder from the Sword Sect?"
The elders of the Gu Family were filled with emotion, their eyes reflecting a mixture of complex feelings as they inquired.
Hearing this question, the Gu Family Disciples eavesdropping outside all perked up their ears, full of anticipation.
Gu Nan’s expression suddenly turned serious. After a dry cough, he said to the assembled Gu Family Disciples, "Elder Su holds the esteemed title of ’First Person Beneath Dao Integration,’ bestowed by the Saintess of the Sacred Land!"
"As for the being who always accompanies Elder Su, she has long surpassed any realm we could possibly imagine. With a mere wave of her hand, she could reduce those legendary Half-Step into Dao Integration Cultivators to dust, even shattering their very souls..."
HISS—
Everyone in the room instantly sucked in a sharp breath.
The First Person Beneath Dao Integration, capable of annihilating a Half-Step into Dao Integration cultivator with a wave of her hand?
What kind of concept was that?
Throughout the entire Twenty-One Provinces, even among the Ten Great Sects, such a level of power probably only existed in legends, right?
Each of these was an existence that could suppress an entire Sect! And the Gu Family had actually encountered a cultivator roaming the world to comprehend the mortal realm?
What an incredibly terrifying stroke of fortune was this?
The South Country could not compare to the Eastern Country. Although the disciples of the family clans had more contact with Immortal Sects than ordinary mortals, they ultimately still fell short of those in the Eastern Country.
"Family Head... about that ore vein..."
Finally, an elder recalled something and cautiously brought it up.
The Gu Family had been suppressed for a long time by the Chu Family and the Hu Family—who were, like them, great families of Xiegu City. It had almost reached a critical moment of life or death. The sudden appearance of Elder Su from the Sword Sect was like the last straw for a drowning person on the verge of death...
Gu Lin shook his head and sighed. "Do not mention this matter in front of those two esteemed personages."
Then, gazing out the window at the gradually setting sun, he mused, "Such lofty experts most definitely do not like to involve themselves in these kinds of trivial affairs... As long as Qingfeng can gain the approval of that personage, no one will dare to touch the Gu Family..."
All the Gu Family Disciples nodded.
...
Dusk. Dappled sunlight scattered throughout the forest.
Beams of light flowed over Ji Nanjue’s white dress and gently caressed Su Bei’s white shirt, lending their figures a hazy, dreamlike quality in the twilit woods.
As they walked further, the crimson of the sunset deepened and intensified.
Emerging from that stretch of woods, the small group arrived at the courtyard where Li Zijun was being housed.
A sound of water rippling.
SPLASH—
Su Bei stared, transfixed at the scene before her.
The beautiful sunset cast its light upon a clear, rippling pond within the courtyard, reflecting an exquisitely beautiful face.
The woman in the scholar’s robes—Li Zijun—gently tossed a small stone into the water. Instantly, the surface was stirred into a brilliant golden yellow, with shimmering, scale-like ripples silently spreading outward.
Li Zijun, now awake, was crouched silently on a stone, head tilted as she gazed at her reflection in the water. Her eyes blinked softly, then again, as if she were lost in a daze, or perhaps wandering in a daydream.
After a long moment, she rose gracefully. Her ruqun skirt flowed along her enchanting figure, fluttering gently in the twilight breeze.
Li Zijun clutched the hem of her skirt, lightly covering her wound, and with slow, elegant steps, she walked to the edge of a large boulder. Her long eyelashes seemed to frame the distant, magnificent crimson clouds.
Little did she know, she herself had entered another’s gaze, becoming like an exquisite painting.
The slanting sunlight brushed her scholar’s robes. Her slender, jade-like fingers rested gently on the edge of her skirt; her fingertips, barely visible, were as delicate and lovely as budding cardamom, a tender cherry-pink.
Everything about this scene was utterly captivating.
Suddenly, as if she sensed something, Li Zijun slowly turned her head, her coiled chignon moving with her. When she clearly saw the newcomers, her nose crinkled slightly, and a charming smile revealed two dimples. Her eyes were filled with pleasant surprise, mingled with a lingering, tear-like mistiness. She smiled and said, "Zi Jun thanks Elder Su for saving my life!"
"..."
