Gu Qing turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "Over there?"
Liu Shisui looked around and said in a low voice, "Shenmo Peak."
Gu Qing was stunned and said, "I'm not an inherited sword disciple, so I'm not qualified."
Liu Shisui said, "You weren't an inherited sword disciple before, so why were you allowed to stay in Liangwang Peak?"
Gu Qing said, "I was a sword boy at that time, a caretaker and a servant."
"Then you can go to Shenmo Peak to be a caretaker."
Liu Shisui said, "It's easy to work for that guy. Every day, I just need to boil water, make tea, make the bed, and clean the yard. That's it."
Gu Qing said, "It sounds like there's not much to do."
Liu Shisui was annoyed thinking about it and said, "That guy is so lazy that he just closes his eyes to rest all day. What can he do?"
Gu Qing said, "I've heard some rumors about Jing Jiu. Is he really that lazy?"
Liu Shisui looked at him and said sincerely, "No matter what you think, he is lazier than you think."
Gu Qing felt a bit bewildered, but he felt more frustrated, wondering how such a lazy person could defeat him so easily.
He was also tempted.
His current state was higher than Jing Jiu's, but the Inherited Sword Competition showed that Jing Jiu was qualified to teach him.
Now there were only two people in Shenmo Peak, Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu. If he joined as a caretaker, he might get some help.
But would Jing Jiu be willing?
He shook his head helplessly and said, "Even if he doesn't hate Brother Han, he has no reason to help me."
Liu Shisui sighed as he thought about the relationship between Jing Jiu and Gu Han.
"No matter what, I still don't think you should leave. Although you haven't inherited a sword yet and can transfer to another sect, but …"
After a moment of silence, he continued, "Soon, it will be my turn. The disciples of Liangwang Peak should always be prepared to sacrifice for Aoyama, shouldn't they?"
…
…
Gu Qing did not sleep for the whole night. Finally, he decided to listen to Liu Shisui's advice and not leave Aoyama Sect for the time being. At the same time, he wanted to try and see if that path would work.
The next morning, Jing Jiu left the manor cave and went to Shenmo Peak as soon as he heard the voices by the stream.
Standing at the foot of the peak and listening to the cries of the apes from time to time in the dense forest, he felt a little nervous.
Because he was worried that he would be regarded as rude, he didn't ride his sword to get on the peak. Instead, he walked up the peak obediently. Fortunately, those monkeys merely looked at this first guest on Shenmo Peak since the lockdown was lifted with interest, and they didn't block his way, intending to search for something from him.
When he arrived at the peak top, the morning sun had risen above the peaks. The red light shrouded the cliff, making it look very warm.
The dew on the bamboo chair had disappeared. Jing Jiu opened his eyes and was surprised to see it was him. He picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it behind him.
The stone flew through the air and accurately passed through the front hall of the small building. As if it had eyes, it bypassed the pillars and hit the bronze mirror, making a clear "Dang" sound.
Zhao Layue walked out and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jing Jiu pointed at Gu Qing who was standing not far away and said, "It seems that there is a guest."
Gu Qing bowed to Zhao Layue and said, "Senior Sister … no … Senior Master."
What Jing Jiu said at the Welcoming Platform had already spread among the young disciples of the nine peaks.
He was one year older than Zhao Layue, so even though he called her "Senior Master", he still felt a bit embarrassed.
Zhao Layue wasn't used to being called Senior Master either. She came back to her senses after a while and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Qing didn't know what to say.
Looking at his expression, Zhao Layue guessed it and said, "You are not an inherited sword disciple, so we can't accept you."
Gu Qing asked, "Does Shenmo Peak need a caretaker now?"
"This is not Liangwang Peak, so we don't want a caretaker."
Zhao Layue looked at him and said seriously, "You shouldn't do things like serving tea or pouring water. It's meaningless for the Aoyama Sect to have one more caretaker."
Gu Qing understood what she meant. He wasn't disappointed, because he just wanted to have a try.
Zhao Layue's words showed that she thought highly of him, which calmed him down a lot. It was no big deal to wait for another three years.
Gu Qing bowed again and turned around, ready to go down the peak.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"This mountain is very big."
Gu Qing halted his steps and looked over, feeling puzzled.
Lying on the bamboo chair, Jing Jiu didn't turn around and said to himself, "Those monkeys live here. It's outer space."
Gu Qing suddenly understood.
Even if he couldn't inherit the sword, the rules of the Aoyama Sect didn't say that he couldn't build a house and live in this mountain.
…
…
This was the first time for Liu Shisui to come to Shanghai Peak, and also the first time for him to be questioned by someone from Shanghai Peak.
His face was slightly pale, and his hands were trembling slightly beside him.
Maybe it was because of nervousness, fear, or cold.
The layout of the cliff cave was very ordinary, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the existence of a prison. But somehow, Liu Shisui felt that the stone walls and the ground were emitting cold air all the time, and the Sword Source couldn't bring too much warmth.
Of course, it could also be because of the Immortal Master from Shangde Peak opposite him.
The Immortal Master from Shangde Peak looked very gloomy, like the water in a well that was about to freeze.
This Immortal Master was called Duan Liantian, and it was said that he was the toughest.
Looking at Liu Shisui's childish face, he showed a very strange smile, "That night, you weren't in your room. Where did you go?"
Hearing this question, Liu Shisui was silent for a long time.
That night, Master Zuo of Bihu Peak was killed, and his body was exposed beside a mountain stream.
That night, Liu Shisui left the cliff cave and secretly went to find Jing Jiu, but he found that Jing Jiu wasn't there.
The next day, he learned that the person who killed Master Zuo was Jing Jiu, because Jing Jiu said so himself.
"Because my sword practice wasn't going well, I was in a bad mood, so I went out for a walk."
Liu Shisui said while looking at the frost between the bluestone bricks.
Duan Liantian stared at his eyes and asked, "Is there any witness?"
Liu Shisui raised his head and said, "I don't know, but someone should have seen me."
Duan Liantian squinted slightly and asked, "Where did you go?"
Liu Shisui said, "I just walked around. I didn't know where to go."
Duan Liantian said, "Do you know that you can't get away with this?"
Liu Shisui said stubbornly, "It has nothing to do with me. Why should I get away with this?"
"Don't think that I won't dare to torture you just because you are a personal disciple of Tianguang Peak."
Duan Liantian sneered and said, "Although your Cultivation state is low and you can't kill Junior Brother Zuo, you don't need a Cultivation state to inform others."
Liu Shisui didn't say anything.
"I'll ask you again in a few days."
Duan Liantian motioned for him to go out, and then said, "I hope you can give me a decent answer by then."
Walking out of the cliff cave, Liu Shisui looked up and saw the scorching sun in the sky, which made him feel a little warmer.
Ma Hua was waiting for him.
When he was at the Stream of Sword Washing, Liu Shisui lived with his classmates of the A class, and Ma Hua was in charge of taking care of them.
That night, he should be the one who saw Liu Shisui sneak out.
Liu Shisui walked past him without stopping or saying anything.
