Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 240 Candlelight Candlelight
Du Xu and Gu Nianxue watched Xiao Zhuhuo and Gu Xiaoxing walk into the house and close the door. They cursed them as beasts in their hearts and felt anxious at the same time.
This person didn't even let his own nephew go, so how could he let them go?
But suddenly, from the house with the door just closed, there was a scream of pain, "Ouch, ouch," accompanied by an angry scolding.
"I asked you to let her go...!"
"I'll let you...!"
"Hmm? Is it still possible?"
“Wuwuwu…! No, no!”
Squeak...
The door opened and Gu Xiaoxing walked out, feeling a lot more relieved. It was not bad to have someone come up to you when you wanted to hit someone.
Behind him, Xiao Zhuhuo was already in tears, with three big bumps on her head, looking very aggrieved.
Du Xu and Gu Nianxue raised their heads slightly. This scene made them stunned. They finally realized that what Elder Gu said before didn't seem to be what he meant.
Xu Qianxing found it funny, so he went up to hold Xiao Zhuhuo's hand and said to her, "What your uncle just said was that he wanted to accept you as a disciple, what are you thinking about?"
When Little Candlelight heard this, her face turned even redder than before. She even forgot to cry and only wished she could find a crack in the ground for her to crawl into.
As for Du Xu and Gu Nianxue, they naturally heard what Xu Qianxing said, and they blushed with shame. Gu Nianxue even gave Du Xu a fierce look. Although Elder Gu’s words were easy to cause misunderstandings, there was no need to be so nervous and say anything nonsense!
But at this point, Gu Nianxue no longer expected the elder to accept her as a disciple.
With such a huge misunderstanding, she didn't have the face to think about it anymore. She just hoped that the elder would not blame her and thanked him profusely. Just as she was about to speak, Du Xu beside her took the lead.
"Du Xu misunderstood the elders and deserves death. I am willing to accept the punishment, but this matter has nothing to do with Senior Sister Gu. Elders, please don't blame her...!"
"Enough!" Gu Xiaoxing interrupted directly.
With this scolding, everyone present except Xu Qianxing paused and began to tremble uncontrollably.
Then, Gu Xiaoxing walked straight towards Xu Qianxing without even looking at the crowd, and flew away with her, leaving behind three confused people and a majestic voice.
"You two will be punished to chop a hundred times more firewood within this month!"
"Thank you, Elder!"
Du Xu and Gu Nianxue saw him off respectfully and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. With their strength of the sixth or seventh level of Qi Condensation, a hundred times the amount of firewood would be no problem for them. It could even be said that this was already a very light punishment.
"Then...what about me?"
Xiao Zhuhuo stood there blankly. She hoped that her uncle would punish her as well, otherwise she would be even more panicked. However, she did not notice that the three big bumps on her head had not disappeared yet, and she had already received the punishment she deserved.
From this point, it can be seen that Xiao Zhuhuo did not inherit any cleverness from his master Lu Linger.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing had already appeared on the fourth level of the mountain ring on the sect's mountain. He was speechless and said, "Do I look like a villain?"
Gu Xiaoxing thought about it carefully. Anyone with a keen eye could tell from his words that he was trying to recruit a disciple, right?
Originally, Gu Xiaoxing wanted to take the two little guys in as his disciples. One of them had the surname Du and the other one had the surname Gu, and they were both disciples of Chai Yuan. It could be called a great fate for them to have such a coincidence.
But now it seems that there is no need to accept it. With my current level of understanding, I will not achieve anything even if I accept it!
Xu Qianxing couldn't help but smile, and tucked his head into Gu Xiaoxing's arms, saying, "Care leads to confusion."
Gu Xiaoxing hugged Xu Qianxing tightly, his eyes suddenly became deep, and he said: "I need to go out for a few days. When I come back, your injury will be healed. Then, I will take you to the Body Refining Sect to vent your anger!"
"Yes!" Xu Qianxing nodded in agreement.
At dawn the next day, when Gu Xiaoxing walked out of the cave, he saw the little girl with candlelight kneeling outside the cave.
The moment she saw her uncle, Xiao Zhuhuo's eyes lit up immediately, but then she looked aggrieved and tears fell from her eyes.
"You have been kneeling here all night?"
Gu Xiaoxing looked at her and suddenly asked. Because of the cultivation cave formation and the fact that Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual consciousness was not released, he really didn't know.
Little Candlelight nodded aggrievedly.
Gu Xiaoxing walked forward and looked the other person up and down with a rather strange look.
Little Candlelight immediately became nervous and stopped crying. It seemed that because of what happened yesterday, or because she was thinking about something, her little face turned red.
Gu Xiaoxing was even more speechless when he saw her appearance. He really wanted to ask: With a brain like yours, how can you survive in the world of cultivation?
Gu Xiaoxing was sure that if he threw Zhu Huo out of the Soul-Devouring Sect at this moment and went to look for her again a month later, she would definitely be helping them count money, and the money she was counting was from selling her.
"Oh, forget it, after all, she is Lu Ling'er's apprentice."
Gu Xiaoxing sighed, and directly took out several magic weapons and formation treasures and threw them over. He was even considerate enough to help her refine them. It can be said that he was armed to the teeth.
Although Zhuhuo has only reached the stage of perfect Qi Condensation now, it is already difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to do anything to her.
After doing all this, Gu Xiaoxing still felt uneasy and reminded him, "Don't go out of the sect for no reason."
"ah……!?"
Xiao Zhuhuo was completely confused. She didn't know why this uncle-master suddenly gave her so many things.
Gu Xiaoxing had already patted her head and disappeared in one step, leaving only Zhu Huo still kneeling there, looking in the direction where Gu Xiaoxing left, muttering: "Why is Master Uncle so good to me?"
Suddenly, Xiao Zhuhuo's heart skipped a beat, and a thought suddenly occurred to him: " Could it be that Master Uncle actually likes me? Yesterday... Yesterday it was only because Master Uncle's wife was here, so...?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuhuo suddenly felt enlightened, but he still felt that something was wrong.
"Huh...? Why do I feel so excited and happy? Although I am very happy to be liked by my uncle, this... this is obviously wrong!"
"Candlelight, Candlelight, how can you be so shameless!?"
"But...but Uncle Master not only saved Candlelight's life, but was also so kind to Candlelight and gave us so much...!"
"Candlelight, Candlelight, how can you have the heart to reject my uncle?!"
"Master, what should we do with the candlelight?!"
If Gu Xiaoxing heard what Xiao Zhuhuo was thinking at this moment, he would definitely give her a few slaps on the head.
However, Gu Xiaoxing obviously did not have the time to care about Xiao Zhuhuo at the moment. He had to start preparing. Although he did not know when Zhou Shoutai would complete the breakthrough, it was always a good idea to make preparations early!
Gu Xiaoxing was gone for several days, and when he returned to the Soul-Devouring Sect several days later, he was exhausted.
But there was an indescribable excitement in his eyes!
