Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 83 Growing Up
Gu Xiaoxing also looked at the fake Xu Qianxing in the crowd, and wanted to kill the other party as he was just an enemy. However, when he felt the gaze of the real Xu Qianxing, he did not dare to move. His heart skipped a beat again. Could he have been recognized?
Xu Qianxing now is no longer the child she used to be. She has grown up completely. If she were to wear women's clothing, she would definitely be gorgeous. However, this neutral outfit makes her look even more heroic. Coupled with her innate confidence, this kind of temperament is unforgettable once you see her.
However, Xu Qianxing's face was slightly gloomy at the moment. He looked at the person in front of him with a twinkling eye and said in a clear voice, "What is the name of this fellow Taoist from the Soul Devouring Sect?"
Of course Gu Xiaoxing would not answer. Not only that, he also wanted to disrupt her thoughts and prevent her from recalling. So he pointed at the fake Xu Qianxing and said viciously: "Good for you Xu Qianxing, I finally met you, you despicable villain, if you have the guts, challenge me in a duel!"
After these words were spoken, the remaining two "Xu Qianxing" were all stunned.
The fake Xu Qianxing didn't expect that the other party would turn the tables on him, and at the same time he felt guilty because the real Xu Qianxing was right in front of him.
The real Xu Qianxing seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at the fake Xu Qianxing. After what happened at Foundation Building Mountain, she hated being impersonated the most. Her eyes immediately turned cold, and she said, "When you go back, you'd better give me an explanation!"
The fake Xu Qianxing shrank his head, then glared at Gu Xiaoxing with hatred, but did not dare to say anything else.
The real Xu Qianxing had already turned around to look at Gu Xiaoxing again, and smiled, "It seems that you have some misunderstanding. He is my brother Xu Qianming. As for the Xu Qianxing you mentioned... it's me!"
Gu Xiaoxing felt a little scared when he saw the other person's smile. He just wanted to leave here first. Although he was not afraid of Xu Qianxing, if his identity was exposed, it would be a big problem. However, he could not show it too obviously, otherwise it would easily arouse people's imagination . So he quickly showed shock and disbelief and said, "You are Xu Qianxing? He... is your brother?"
Xu Qianxing nodded.
Then Gu Xiaoxing pointed at Xu Qianming, his expression changed again, he said with deep disgust, "I didn't expect... you to be such a scum, not only peeping at my Soul Devouring Sect's girls bathing, but also using your own sister's name to impersonate her. You... I didn't expect there would be such a shameless person in the world!"
"You are so shameless." Even the coffin inside his body began to despise him, and then asked curiously, "By the way, where did you get this innate black gold?"
" Shut up, talk later." Gu Xiaoxing didn't have time to respond.
When Xu Qianming heard what Gu Xiaoxing said, his eyes widened immediately, veins popped out, and he almost roared: "You're talking nonsense, little sister, don't listen to his nonsense, he is slandering me, how could I..."
As a cold gaze swept over, Xu Qianming's voice stopped abruptly, and he trembled and stopped talking, as if he was extremely afraid of his little sister.
Xu Qianxing looked at Gu Xiaoxing again, still smiling, and said, "Please don't talk nonsense, my brother may have a strange temper, but he wouldn't do such a bad thing. But I think you have a good impression of me. May I know your name and which elder of the Soul Devouring Sect did you learn from?"
Gu Xiaoxing's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the other party had indeed made some guesses, so he decided not to continue pretending, and it would be better to slip away quickly. He snorted coldly and said, "It's just a humble name, not worth mentioning. You have more people today, it's bad luck for me, goodbye!"
After saying this, Gu Xiaoxing wanted to leave and didn't even want the materials.
The shopkeeper had already stood aside. He was only at the third level of Qi Condensation. If these people really started fighting, he would not be able to stop them even if he wanted to. It would be better for him to hide aside to avoid being implicated. As for breaking things, he was not afraid. After all, this was the cultivation city of the Body Refining Sect, and there would be people to deal with it if things got out of hand.
"stop!"
But at this moment, one of the people from the Yu Jian Sect spoke up to stop Gu Xiaoxing. This was also a young man, and he said in a bad tone: "Our young sect leader wants to buy that piece of innate black gold. Didn't you hear it?"
Gu Xiaoxing glanced at the young man.
"If fellow Daoist is willing to sell the innate black gold to me, I don't mind if the price is a little higher." Xu Qianxing spoke again.
"Not for sale!" Gu Xiaoxing said bluntly, then turned and left.
But just as he walked out of the shop door, he felt a chill on his back. Without thinking, he took a step forward and swayed his body. A flying sword passed by him, which immediately made his face gloomy.
At this time, the young man rushed out from the material shop. Before Xu Qianxing and his sister made a move, this young man drew his sword first. He looked at Gu Xiaoxing who was floating on the street not far away, waved his hand, and the flying sword returned to his hand. He said in a cold voice: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. I will give you one more chance. Hand over the things!"
Gu Xiaoxing narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be something else in his tone as he said, "So... are you going to rob it?"
At this time, Xu Qianxing and his group also came out of the shop. She said slowly, "Daoyou, it's a bit inappropriate to rob. We will pay as many spirit stones as you want!"
"I said I won't sell it!" said Gu Xiaoxing.
Xu Qianxing smiled slightly and said nothing more.
The young man from the Yu Jian Sect was delighted. Since the young sect leader did not say anything to stop him, the meaning was obvious!
Xu Qianming in the crowd looked at Xu Qianxing in surprise. He naturally understood his sister's personality and knew that she would never do such a thing of forcing someone to buy something.
"Could it be... that you saw your beloved brother being framed and wanted to vent your anger for me?" At this moment, Xu Qianming was deeply moved. "Sure enough, although my little sister always looks fierce, she is actually just shy. Although she doesn't say it, she still loves me as her brother in her heart."
As he thought about it, Xu Qianming's eyes became moist and he was almost crying.
Xu Qianxing seemed to have noticed something and looked back at Xu Qianming. When he saw his crying and laughing expression, he frowned immediately and felt disgusted. He thought to himself that he must punish him severely after returning to the sect. He was not behaving like a brother.
Then Xu Qianxing looked forward again. With her tacit consent, the young man had already rushed forward with a sword. She wanted to see the background of this person whose eyes made her so familiar, and whether he was as she guessed.
Xu Qianxing did have some guesses, because a person's appearance may change, but the eyes cannot be changed. In her opinion, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes are exactly the same as the masked man in the Foundation Building Mountain. Although they are not shifty, there is always a gleam in their eyes. It is obvious that they are not good people. But they are both members of the Soul-Devouring Sect, so she allowed the young man to test him.
Seeing the young man from the Sword Controlling Sect rushing towards him with a sword, Gu Xiaoxing already had true fire. He raised his hand and a Taoist incense appeared, ready to hit the opponent. Although he couldn't kill him in the city, he could at least cripple him.
Although the young man's cultivation was comparable to his, both were in the middle stage of foundation building, Gu Xiaoxing did not take him seriously. But suddenly, his mind moved, and he sensed something. The next moment, a stunning stick light came down from the side, and it was not Gu Xiaoxing that was hit, but the young man in front of him.
The young man never thought that someone would attack him. He was caught off guard and knocked down by the huge stick. He sank to the ground and fainted.
Gu Xiaoxing turned his head and saw a woman, who seemed to be in her twenties, wearing a purple dress with long hair tied behind her. She looked a little cold, and with her exquisite facial features, she could be said to be cold and charming. However, her face was a little round, which made her seem more cute than beautiful.
At this moment, the woman in purple was holding a big black stick, standing there in a daze, staring at Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing blinked and felt that the woman in purple looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where she was for a moment. It was not until he saw the small but familiar alchemy furnace on the woman's head that he suddenly understood.
"Ling'er...?" he asked tentatively.
The next moment, a fragrant breeze blew in his face, and Gu Xiaoxing was knocked down by Lu Linger and sat on the ground.
“Little brother…!” Lu Linger’s voice and body were trembling.
Looking at Lu Linger who was sobbing with her head buried in his arms, Gu Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and patted her head. Although she had grown up, she was still that crybaby little girl!
At the same time, Gu Xiaoxing felt warm in his heart. He could feel the strong and genuine thoughts emanating from the little girl, and even a kind of relief. Looking at the entire cultivation world, there were only three or two people who cared about him so much, and the little girl was one of them.
The trip to Mount Zhuji was just over two months for Gu Xiaoxing, but for the little girl, it had been more than seven years. She might even have thought that she would never see him again, so she was so excited.
Gu Xiaoxing thought so, but this was obviously not the time to reminisce about the past. He patted her head again and said, "We'll talk about it later. Let brother go and drive away those flies first!"
"Fly?" Lu Linger looked up and blinked her big eyes, with tears in her eyes.
At this time, the group from the Yu Jian Sect had already walked over. Except for Xu Qianxing, the others all looked unhappy.
Xu Qianxing raised two fingers, and the young man who was knocked unconscious by a stick and fell to the ground flew out, and someone immediately went over to take care of him.
"Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she meddle in the affairs of our Yu Jian Sect?" Xu Qianming jumped out and cursed, but suddenly, a gaze swept over him, and he immediately felt a chill in his heart.
Lu Linger suddenly looked at him coldly , and said in a cold voice: "You are the ones... bullying little brother?"
Xu Qianming suddenly felt his heart pounding, and he inexplicably felt that his younger sister Xu Qianxing was looking at him coldly. He wondered to himself, are girls nowadays so scary?
Xu Qianxing snorted coldly, showing no fear at all, and said, "So what?"
At this moment, two cold gazes confronted each other, and the air seemed to be filled with crackling sounds of thunder and lightning. The next moment, a stick and a sword collided with each other, and a powerful force suddenly erupted.
Gu Xiaoxing widened his eyes, the foundation was built successfully!
