108: Did you bully Tianmei again?
"Qing Ci, if Gu Yuan dares to bully you in the future, you must tell me, do you understand?"
Although Gu Yuan had obtained the immortal sword, he had nothing else to do, so he decided to stay at the Liyue Sword Sect for a period of time.
During this time, Yun Qingci was pulled aside by Di Luoying for a talk.
"I don't care what kind of strange games you and Gu Yuan are experimenting with, but in short, you must not lose yourself in it."
Di Luoying glanced at Qing Ci in front of her and spoke in a calm tone.
Though she didn't understand what kind of 'games' those two were playing.
Hmm... but Di Luoying always felt that this girl, Qing Ci, would fall for it sooner or later.
Her reminding her now was only to prevent her from falling deeper.
Otherwise... Di Luoying's expression suddenly became a bit unnatural.
After all, Revered Master and Disciple... cough, if it's like that... wouldn't that be letting Gu Yuan off too easily!
This was the first thing Di Luoying thought of.
She never considered whether it would be against the rules of propriety.
After all, in her view, the world's rules of propriety could not constrain her at all.
Ugh... Yun Qingci couldn't help but blush upon hearing this.
How can Revered Master be so direct... Wh-what do you mean by 'strange games'!
I-I only ended up like this because I accidentally lost a bet to Gu Yuan and had no other choice!
And... Yun Qingci pondered over her Revered Master's words, and the more she thought, the more she felt something was off.
Why did she feel like Revered Master was warning her...?
Wanting her to stay away from Gu Yuan!?
Pah, who the hell would want to get close to Gu Yuan!
Yun Qingci's face suddenly felt hot, and that indescribable feeling welled up in her heart again.
"I-I would never do that, Revered Master, y-you shouldn't talk nonsense..."
Yun Qingci turned her head away and spoke after giving a soft hmph.
Di Luoying just curled her lips and didn't say anything more.
Everyone has their own choices; she wouldn't interfere with whatever Qing Ci chose.
"Alright, let's not talk more about that, let's discuss some serious matters."
Di Luoying shook her head, her tone becoming somewhat serious.
Hearing this, Yun Qingci sat up straight and asked curiously:
"What serious matter does Revered Master want to talk about?"
Di Luoying pondered for a moment, then said:
"In a while, the Tomb of the Lost will open. Qing Ci, you shall represent the Liyue Sword Sect when the time comes, hmm..."
Di Luoying paused, as if remembering something, and then continued:
"You should go with Gu Yuan then. He will likely go as well, and the two of you can look after each other."
Eh... After hearing her Revered Master's words, for some reason, Yun Qingci felt a bit happy in her heart.
She can be with Gu Yuan again... No, no, how could she think that... Yun Qingci shook her small head, throwing all those thoughts to the back of her mind, and then asked curiously:
"The Tomb of the Lost... is that the Ancient Tomb whose origins are a mystery but is extremely old...?"
Di Luoying nodded, her face showing a hint of melancholy.
"No one knows the origins of the Tomb of the Lost; we only know that every thousand years, this tomb appears in the world."
"There are even rumors that the Tomb of the Lost has existed since the ancient era."
Yun Qingci nodded slightly; she had some understanding of the Tomb of the Lost.
It was said that countless secrets and treasures were buried within that Ancient Tomb.
There were even rumors that within the Tomb of the Lost, there existed the opportunity to become a god.
Therefore, every time the Tomb of the Lost appeared, it would attract countless Cultivators to explore it.
After all, the Tomb of the Lost was a massive opportunity for all Cultivators.
Whether it was obtaining treasures, remnants of ancient Cultivation Techniques, or other such things, the Tomb of the Lost had it all.
Over millions of years, many Cultivators had soared to greatness because of the heavenly opportunities they obtained from the Tomb of the Lost.
Of course, opportunities are often accompanied by danger.
The dangers within the Tomb of the Lost are innumerable.
Every time the Tomb of the Lost opens, very few Cultivators can reach the end and retreat unscathed.
"At that time, you must stay by Gu Yuan's side. He can protect you, do you understand?"
Di Luoying looked at Yun Qingci and spoke softly.
Although the Liyue Sword Sect believed in drawing one's sword whenever an enemy was met,
Qing Ci was her Disciple after all, and she didn't want to see anything happen to her.
Yun Qingci pouted her small mouth upon hearing this, but she didn't say anything in opposition.
She could feel that her Revered Master was sincerely concerned about her.
"I know, Revered Master. Hmph... anyway, since I'm his little maid now, he has an obligation to protect me!"
Yun Qingci waved her small fist and said after a soft hmph.
Uh... Di Luoying couldn't help but smile slightly.
How did Qing Ci accept her identity as a little maid so quickly?
She was so resistant before, yet now she's so nonchalant about it.
Di Luoying shook her head slightly; Gu Yuan had told her about the bet with Qing Ci.
Therefore, she understood why Qing Ci had become Gu Yuan's little maid.
But to be honest, Di Luoying felt that Gu Yuan was like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
And she could almost already see Qing Ci's ending.
Sigh... this silly girl.
Looking at the still happily oblivious Qing Ci, Di Luoying couldn't help but sigh.
She really hoped this girl would be more mindful... "Gu Yuan, why has Tian Mei been avoiding you these past few days? Did you bully her again?"
Xi Nian and Gu Yuan were sitting on the martial arts stage of the Liyue Sword Sect, while below the stage, many Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect were sparring with sword techniques.
Today, out of curiosity, Gu Yuan had come to this martial arts stage with Xi Nian to watch.
By now, many Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect knew Gu Yuan's identity.
However, compared to his status as the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect,
The Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect were more focused on his amazing feat that day, where he caused ten thousand swords to submit.
Therefore, many Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect were secretly observing Gu Yuan at this moment.
Xi Nian popped a piece of pastry into her mouth and then asked curiously.
Recently, Tian Mei's behavior had indeed become more and more strange.
Whether it was her eyes flickering away when looking at her, or immediately turning her head away upon seeing Gu Yuan, and a series of other odd actions.
All of these made Xi Nian suspicious, making her wonder if Gu Yuan had bullied Tian Mei again at some point.
Uh... Gu Yuan was originally watching the Liyue Sword Sect Disciples spar with great interest.
At the same time, he was thinking about whether he should go up and try it himself.
But then he heard Xi Nian's words, and Gu Yuan's expression immediately became unnatural.
Cough... this... should it be considered bullying or not?
Actually, Gu Yuan was also a bit unclear.
After all, although it was Tian Mei who took the initiative to offer herself that night... but... cough, he also just went along with it.
So overall, yeah, he still bullied her.
