94: That was personally received by the Sword Immortal!
"Ah... I, I'm not, it's all Gu Yuan's fault... ugh... forget it, it's, it's nothing..."
Yun Qingci pouted her small lips; she had originally wanted to complain to her Revered Master.
But on second thought, wouldn't that make Gu Yuan look down on her?
So, Yun Qingci forced herself to hold it in.
That damnable Gu Yuan, just wait until I win our bet, then I'll see how I can order you around! Humph~
"Revered Master, Gu Yuan and the others are here, as well as that Saintess from the Taiyi Dao Sect, and... this is Tian Mei."
Since her Revered Master was present, Yun Qingci obediently introduced Xi Nian and Tian Mei.
Upon hearing this, Di Luoying looked toward Gu Yuan.
However, a hint of coldness instantly flickered within her beautiful eyes.
Because she saw that Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect and the woman named Tian Mei snuggling up to Gu Yuan on both sides.
Heh... Gu Yuan, are you provoking me?
Di Luoying gripped the longsword in her hand tightly, using a great deal of effort to restrain the urge to draw her sword and slash Gu Yuan directly.
As for Gu Yuan, he naturally noticed her gaze and immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Why did it look like Luoying's gaze was about to carve him up?
Cough... Gu Yuan gave a light cough and took a few steps forward.
Seeing Di Luoying, Xi Nian and Tian Mei also felt a bit embarrassed and let go of Gu Yuan's arms.
This bad fellow had been holding onto them the whole time since earlier.
Even now, after getting off the aircraft and with the contemporary Sword Immortal personally coming to welcome them, he was still holding onto them!
Ugh... honestly... "Luo— cough, I didn't expect the Sword Immortal herself to come out to receive us. I'm truly flattered, ha."
Gu Yuan spoke after another light cough, while not quite daring to look Di Luoying's cold gaze directly in the eye.
Humph... Di Luoying snorted coldly in her heart.
She was finding that this fellow Gu Yuan was becoming increasingly pushy.
Back at the Jade Moon Sect, this man would take every opportunity to hold her and bully her.
Setting that aside, now he came to the Liyue Sword Sect to see her while having a girl on each arm.
Wasn't this showing her too little respect?
Good, very good. It seemed his swordsmanship still required her personal guidance!
"The Young Sect Master is young and promising. This venerable one admires you greatly. I wonder how the sword techniques I taught you last time are progressing; let this venerable one test them personally in a moment."
Di Luoying's voice was very calm, filled as always with a chilling frost.
Uh... Hearing Luoying say this, Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no!
Luoying clearly intended to teach him a lesson.
Hmm... Gu Yuan looked back at Xi Nian and Tian Mei, and then it dawned on him.
No wonder; it turned out Luoying was jealous.
To be honest, having the contemporary Sword Immortal jealous over him made Gu Yuan feel a bit secretly smug... Meanwhile, Yun Qingci, standing beside Di Luoying, had no idea that was the reason.
She thought her Revered Master was also annoyed with Gu Yuan, so she gloated and fanned the flames from the side:
"Revered Master is right! Also, Revered Master, I want to report that this fellow Gu Yuan hasn't practiced his swordsmanship at all during this time; he spent it all on eating, drinking, and playing!"
Little Noodle was quite the provocateur; after speaking, she even stuck her tongue out at Gu Yuan defiantly.
Hey!
Gu Yuan's teeth itched with irritation. You little Little Noodle, just you wait!
After hearing Qing Ci's words, Di Luoying only registered the last few words.
Eating, drinking, and playing... Di Luoying's gaze shifted back to the two women behind Gu Yuan.
Fine, so that's how it is.
Di Luoying gave a silent smile.
Though there was a smile on her face at this moment, it was undoubtedly one filled with murderous intent.
Uh... Gu Yuan also forced a calm smile.
Was this a joke? What kind of storms hadn't he seen?
It was just... well, just one Luoying. He should be able to handle her, right?
Well, probably... "Hehe, Xi Nian, Tian Mei, come on, I'll take you for a tour around our Liyue Sword Sect. Oh, and Gu Yuan..."
Yun Qingci took Xi Nian and Tian Mei's small hands and walked into the Liyue Sword Sect.
As she passed by Gu Yuan, Yun Qingci added playfully:
"Since Revered Master said she wants to test your swordsmanship, hehe, then let Revered Master guide you personally. That's a Sword Immortal, you know! Gu Yuan, you should be laughing in secret~"
Yun Qingci made a face at Gu Yuan and then left.
This girl... Gu Yuan shook his head in exasperation.
"Let's go. What's the point of standing at the entrance? Do you expect me to personally invite you in?"
Di Luoying turned around, leaving behind those words as she also walked into the Liyue Sword Sect.
Well... Gu Yuan scratched his head and quickly followed her.
As the largest power in the Eastern Region, the Liyue Sword Sect was located at the peak of a mountain range, surrounded by swirling mist and clouds.
From a distance, the entire Liyue Sword Sect looked like a divine sword pointing straight at the sky, sharp and unstoppable.
Following behind Di Luoying, Gu Yuan attracted the gazes of many Liyue Sword Sect Disciples along the way.
"Hey, look, the Sect Master is actually receiving someone personally. Who is this person?"
"He seems to be the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect. I saw him before during the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly!"
"Whoa... he's so handsome! I've never seen such a good-looking man before."
"Silly girl, are you in heat? The Sect Master is right there, be careful not to get punished!"
...Gu Yuan listened to the discussions of the passing Liyue Sword Sect Disciples and smiled helplessly.
Truth be told, they were indeed Little Noodle's fellow Disciples; their personalities were practically carved from the same mold.
Little Noodle had put on an act at first, but after being together for a while, her true colors were completely revealed.
"Cough, Luoying, the atmosphere in your Sect is quite relaxed, huh!"
Gu Yuan quickened his pace to walk beside Di Luoying and whispered.
To onlookers, it just looked like he was asking Luoying for advice.
After all, no matter what others thought, it was impossible for them to imagine that the Sword Immortal in their hearts was actually his Dao Companion~
Di Luoying frowned slightly and glared at Gu Yuan.
They were still outside, yet this fellow was leaning in so close.
However, seeing his grinning face, Di Luoying's heart eventually softened.
Fine, this fellow had always been like this; there was no helping it.
"The Liyue Sword Sect was never a solemn Sect to begin with. You knew that already, didn't you? Why, do you have some dissatisfaction?"
Uh... Hearing Di Luoying's words, Gu Yuan quickly shook his head.
Was she joking? How could he dare to have any dissatisfaction?
But before Gu Yuan could say anything, he heard Di Luoying's voice again:
"Qing Ci's personality seems to have changed a lot after this trip out. Gu Yuan, is this also because of you?"
Huh...?
Gu Yuan blinked blankly at her words.
No, Luoying, is there a possibility that Little Noodle's nature was always like this?
That straight-laced personality she showed in front of you was all just an act, okay!
