"I, I didn't do anything …" Mu Zixuan was discouraged.
"It's been more than a month since I asked you to deliver the letter. Since you didn't stop at Master Sima's place, you should have returned long ago. Don't tell me you're using a fake name to compete with others like last time!"
"How can you say I'm competing with others? Last time, I was clearly helping the weak."
Gu Jian Sheng sneered, "Helping the weak, you're doing this to your own people? You beat up Master Lu's disciple, and you're still in the right! "
Mu Zixuan also replied unyieldingly, "Hmph, those guys aren't strong enough, but they used the name of Ling Xiao Sword School to bully the weaker sects and forcefully took their treasures. It's not wrong for them to be beaten up. If Master feels that I'm not helping the weak, then I'm also cleaning up the sect! "
Gu Jian Sheng said angrily, "How arrogant. You should report to the sect that they're in the wrong, and Master Lu and Master Lu will make the decision. Since when is it your turn to clean up the sect!"
"I'm just afraid that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Ever since Master took over Master Lu's position as a candidate for the sect leader, he has been displeased with us, looking for him …"
"Shut up! How dare you talk about Master Lu! " Seeing that Gu Jian Sheng was angry, Shang Ying quickly came to mediate, "Alright, Junior Brother, don't be angry. We've already scolded and punished them for what happened last time, why mention him? It's the same this time, Xuan 'er is still young, and it's rare for him to come down the mountain. It's inevitable that he's playful, and it's not like he's missed anything important … "
Gu Jian Sheng said resentfully, "It's precisely because he's young that he can't be careless. If he can't resist the temptation and indulges in fame and fortune, fame and beauty, and loses his focus on the way of the sword, wouldn't it be a waste of his talent?"
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did. Hearing that he was indulging in women, Mu Zixuan couldn't help but feel guilty.
Shang Ying coughed lightly, "Cough! Junior Brother Gu, you're the least qualified to criticize him … "
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Jian Sheng's face, then he turned to Mu Zixuan and said, "Alright, I don't have time to care about you right now. Right now, the entire sect is busy with the preparations for the succession ceremony, so we don't have enough manpower. Go guard the scripture library for the next few days and don't come back without my permission. I'll deal with you after I find out if you've done anything you shouldn't have! "
Mu Zixuan still wanted to talk about Ning Youyou, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Seeing that he was still standing there, Gu Jian Sheng said, "Don't be disobedient here. This time, go to the Scripture Pavilion and look through the sword scriptures to calm your heart. You are a genius in the way of the sword, but your heart is too restless!"
"Obedient? In this world, how can there be a genius that is restless! "Mu Zixuan smiled and muttered to himself. Clenching his fists, he bade farewell and turned to leave.
After Mu Zixuan left, Shang Ying sighed softly, "Junior Brother, aren't you being too harsh on Xuan 'er? Youths are hot-blooded, so it's normal for them to be impetuous. When you were young, you weren't even as good as him … If you're pressuring him too much, I'm afraid it'll have the opposite effect."
Gu Jian Sheng revealed a sorrowful expression and said, "I was young and preposterous, indulging in sensual pleasures and indulging in them. It could be said that I've let many people down. It's also because of retribution that I met that fiend in my life, which allowed me to see through the vanity and return to the right path of the way of the sword. Now that I look back, the preposterous years have truly harmed others and myself. Xuan 'er's temperament is the same as mine back then, how can I let him repeat my mistakes! "
"Is that all? I keep feeling that aside from this reason, you're being too harsh on him because you're too protective, as if you're afraid that he'll get into trouble … "Shang Ying said suspiciously.
Gu Jian Sheng's brows inadvertently furrowed, "Why do you say that?"
"Intuition!" Shang Ying took a sip of tea and said straightforwardly. She then sighed softly, "This time, I'm here to help my Mingxia and Xuan 'er get married. Looking at your attitude, I'm afraid it won't work …"
Gu Jian Sheng laughed, "Look at what you're saying, I'm not against it. Mingxia's temperament is upright, decisive and capable. She's a good match for Xuan 'er, but you're too impatient. We cultivators have a long life, and most of us only talk about marriage after our Dao foundation is stable. It's not too late to talk about it after a few years …"
"Waiting for a few years? I'm afraid that someone will beat us to it. Why is it not too late …" Shang Ying shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'm here today to ask you, how are your preparations for the three rounds of competition for the succession of the sect leader?"
Gu Jian Sheng said, "Why do you have to ridicule me? There are three rounds in the selection of the sect leader. The first one is about the management of the sect, which I know nothing about. How can I compare to Senior Brother Qingyue, who has been managing the sect for Master for more than ten years? The third one is about connections. The elders of each peak will vote for their favorite candidate. This … I'm afraid there won't be many who will support me."
Shang Ying said, "As far as I know, there isn't anyone. If you feel embarrassed, I can vote for you to keep up appearances."
Gu Jian Sheng smiled bitterly, "Forget it. You and I both know that Senior Brother Qingyue is the most suitable candidate. Although Master has listed me as a candidate, I don't care about the affairs of the sect. If I had the right to vote, I would definitely vote for Senior Brother Qingyue first."
"Then what about the second round, the competition of Sword Doctrine? Do you have a chance of winning? "
"You and I both know that in terms of Sword Doctrine, I've never lost to anyone." Gu Jian Sheng said indifferently, without the slightest hint of boasting. His expression was like he was stating a simple fact that everyone knew.
"Since the result is clear, then …" Shang Ying put down her cup and looked at Gu Jian Sheng with her gentle eyes, "Why don't you go easy on me and let Senior Brother win?"
Gu Jian Sheng's expression froze. He put down his cup and said, "You shouldn't say that."
Shang Ying said, "I know that although you aren't as blatant as Yuwen Feng, your sincerity towards Sword Doctrine is no less than Yuwen Feng's. You treat any sword duel seriously. However, a sword duel where the result is already known, other than hurting Senior Brother's face, it's meaningless."
Gu Jian Sheng shook his head and said seriously and stubbornly, "A sword duel doesn't need a meaning. The sword itself is the meaning."
Seeing Shang Ying's expression darken, he comforted her, "Don't worry. You should know that with my ability, it's not difficult for me to defeat Senior Brother without injuring him."
"Defeat without injuring him?" Shang Ying shook her head with a bitter smile, "You don't know that losing without injuring him will hurt Senior Brother the most …"
Then, Shang Ying slowly stood up and said, "Fine, I really shouldn't have any expectations. Just pretend that I never came today. When I was young, I felt that your frivolous attitude of not taking anything seriously was annoying. Who would have thought that when you are serious, you are also a headache."
Gu Jian Sheng smiled bitterly, "I've made Senior Sister angry again."
"It's not the first or second time. I'm already used to it. If you have the time to care about me, why don't you go to the Scripture Pavilion and care about your good disciple? Coming back from outside, you didn't even say a word of concern before scolding him. I know you're doing this for his own good, but to take care of a disciple, you need to be strict and kind at the same time."
"I don't have time! If you want to go, you go! "Gu Jian Sheng refused.
"Why should I worry about your disciple?" Shang Ying turned to leave. When she reached the door, she turned back and asked, "You really don't want to go?"
Gu Jian Sheng closed his eyes and put on an indifferent expression.
"Haha." Shang Ying laughed lightly as if she had seen through him and stepped out of the room.
