There were some things that one couldn't understand. Even if one gave Jing Jiu the rest of his life, he wouldn't be able to learn them, to say nothing of nine days.
Realizing this, Liu Shisui didn't intend to help his Young Master any longer. He was about to leave after finishing the last thing.
"It seems that the masters of our sect have something to ask me."
He continued while looking at Jing Jiu, "Too many things have happened over the years. But I think if they want to ask me something, what should I do even if they don't know the answer yet?"
In fact, he wasn't sure if it was about that thing either.
He had hidden that thing in his mind for many years. When Big Brother Jian Ruyun said that, all the uneasiness in his heart gushed out.
Jing Jiu knew what that thing was.
And he was the only one who knew it.
He said to Liu Shisui, "We'll talk about it when it comes. It's a waste to think about it in advance."
Liu Shisui thought about it and found that his Young Master was as reasonable as before. Without saying anything more, he turned around and left the peak top with Xiao He.
Walking in the dense forest, Xiao He felt even more flustered when the monkeys suddenly disappeared.
She didn't understand what Liu Shisui and Jing Jiu had talked about and how they were going to settle her down.
A small wooden hut appeared by the road in the dense forest among the cliffs one thousand feet below the peak.
Monkeys were squatting on the trees around the wooden hut. They looked like countless heavy fruits, scratching their ears and cheeks, unable to contain their joy.
It turned out that they were waiting here to watch the fun.
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu were standing in front of the hut, waiting for them.
Liu Shisui and Xiao He were ushered into the wooden hut.
Gu Qing boiled tea in an iron kettle, and Yuan Qu poured the tea into bowls and brought them to the two of them.
The hot mist lingered in the air, stirred by the gentle breeze. The monkeys and birds couldn't be heard.
The mountain residence was indeed full of fairy energy.
Gu Qing introduced, "He is Yuan Qu, learning sword work from the Peak Master. You should have met him at the South-Pine Pavilion."
Yuan Qu stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Big Brother Liu."
Liu Shisui introduced, "She is Xiao He. You should have heard of her."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Who doesn't know Xiao He from Ying City? I didn't know you were coming to Aoyama … "
Xiao He smiled without saying a word. She was very dignified and quiet.
Liu Shisui had known Gu Qing before.
The former sword boy of Liangwang Peak was now the first disciple of Shenmo Peak.
When Gu Qing was talking to Xiao He, his bearing was calm and tranquil, which was very admirable.
Looking at this scene, Liu Shisui suddenly thought of what Bai Zao had said in the Xi Jian Pavilion, and his eyes fell on the iron kettle.
The iron kettle was placed on the small clay stove, letting out a low snoring sound, like a cat sighing about how good life was.
If he had left the South Pine Pavilion two years later, he would have been the one brewing tea for Young Master at the Shenmo Peak.
Liu Shisui thought silently, and then he was awakened by Gu Qing's question.
Gu Qing asked, "Big Brother, how are you going to settle Xiao He?"
Liu Shisui said, "Young Master promised to help."
Gu Qing said calmly, "That's good. Then I think Xiao He will stay at Shenmo Peak for a few days."
Xiao He glanced at Liu Shisui uneasily. After so many years, Liu Shisui must have a lot of things to arrange after returning to Aoyama. Moreover, his identity as a disciple of Tianguang Peak and Liangwang Peak meant that he couldn't come to Shenmo Peak often.
She was afraid to stay alone at such a strange Shenmo Peak, and she might have to face the terrifying Immortal Master Jing Jiu often.
Liu Shisui was a bit surprised. Looking at Gu Qing's eyes, he vaguely guessed something, so he said without hesitation, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
He was very familiar with Gu Qing, and he knew the background of the Gu Clan in Aoyama. It must be Gu Qing who gave this suggestion after he had heard some information.
After finishing the tea in the bowl, Liu Shisui stood up and said goodbye. Ignoring Xiao He's pitiful look, he walked down the peak.
The monkeys outside the wooden hut screamed, and then their voices faded away. They must have gone to see him off.
Xiao He sat in the chair calmly, as if nothing had happened, and no pitiful look could be seen on her face.
Like those monkeys, she knew clearly who she really needed to care about.
If she could get hold of Liu Shisui, she would be able to get hold of everything. As for the others, she didn't dare provoke the likes of Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue, and Gu Qing and Yuan Qu would most likely be Liu Shisui's competitors in the future. So all she needed to do was to treat them politely. If she spent too much effort on them, she might end up making a fool of herself.
Gu Qing showed an appreciative expression in his eyes while looking at her, but he shook his head a moment later, feeling a bit regretful.
"Immortal Master Gu, what can I do for you?" Xiao He asked with a faint smile.
Gu Qing said, "I met a member of your tribe in the Royal Palace of Zhaoge City back then. Her Cultivation state was much higher than yours, though not necessarily higher than yours."
Xiao He of course knew who the member of her tribe in the Royal Palace of Zhaoge City was.
For the demon vixens, Royal Concubine Hu was the most admired and admired person.
What Gu Qing said seemed to be problematic, but it was actually quite easy to understand, especially for the shrewdest demon vixens.
The former Cultivation state referred to the Cultivation state and the ability to kill people, and the latter referred to the true ability of the demon vixens. Xiao He felt a bit dissatisfied, but her expression didn't change. She said nonchalantly, "The Royal Concubine has won the favor of the Emperor and given birth to a prince. How can I compare to her fate?"
In other words, she attributed all the achievements of Royal Concubine Hu to her luck.
Gu Qing thought that no one knew whether the prince brought good luck or bad luck to her, but he wouldn't tell Xiao He about it in detail. All he did was remind her, "The most important thing for the Royal Concubine to win the favor of the Emperor is truth."
Hearing this, Xiao He was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly said, "The tea you brewed is not right."
It was Gu Qing's turn to be taken aback. He had brewed tea on Shenmo Peak for many years. Though he didn't do it too often, Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue had never said anything bad about it.
He looked at Yuan Qu in an attempt to get an objective evaluation.
Yuan Qu said after some hesitation, "It seems that the two masters don't know about this."
The meaning of this statement was clear.
Xiao He continued, "How can the iron kettle of the Dongyi Daoist Sect be used to boil Maojian tea? It's better to use it to braise meat. "
Yuan Qu said after some hesitation, "Young Lady, seeking truth doesn't mean saying everything. It means not telling lies or not speaking at all …"
…
…
Guo Nanshan and the others had been waiting at the foot of Shenmo Peak. They were surprised to find that Xiao He didn't come down with Liu Shisui.
Jian Ruyun arched his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.
"Let's go to Tianguang Peak first."
Guo Nanshan said.
Liu Shisui asked, "Are we going to see the Immortal Sect Master?"
Guo Nanshan said, "My Master is having a talk with a distinguished guest from the Zhongzhou School today. Senior Master Bai has been waiting for you."
Liu Shisui fell silent.
Guo Nanshan knew what he was thinking about, and said comfortingly, "Senior Master Bai didn't know the inside story back then, so he treated you so cruelly. He felt sorry for what happened, and he will treat you with care."
Bai Rujing was an elder of Tianguang Peak in the Broken Sea State, and he was the Master of Liu Shisui.
But too many things had happened later.
Liu Shisui looked at Jian Ruyun and said, "Didn't Fourth Big Brother say that he had something to ask me?"
"Like I said, those are trivial matters," Gu Han said while patting his shoulder.
Gu Han patted his shoulder and said, "No matter what, Uncle Master Bai is still your master."
In a quiet manor cave on Tianguang Peak, there were many green bamboos outside.
Many years had passed, and the green bamboos were no longer the same as before.
The wild bamboos were indeed full of vitality.
The green bamboos grew in a messy way; it was evident that nobody had taken care of them.
Guo Nanshan and the others stood outside the manor cave, waiting. Looking at the green bamboos all around them, they felt a bit sentimental.
A fierce quarrel suddenly broke out in the manor cave.
