Seeing that Feng Zhang and his disciple were unable to come to an agreement, Gu Zheng smiled and said, "Can the two of you stop for a moment? As long as I make a decent meal, the two of you will stop arguing, right?"
Master Feng and his disciple looked at Gu Zheng and nodded at the same time.
"I don't have qualified ingredients here, but Mount Shu has them. As long as Elder Feng follows me around Mount Shu, I'm sure there will be qualified ingredients for me to make a good meal."
Strolling around Shushan was something that Gu Zheng wanted to do.
Mount Shu was very big. It was not an exaggeration to say that many places were in a primitive state. After all, cultivators would not cause serious damage to the ecology like ordinary people. Moreover, many good ingredients in Gu Zheng's eyes might not be recognized by cultivators. They might just be edible wild vegetables.
To Gu Zheng, Shu Mountain was a primeval forest with great exploration value. Unfortunately, Shu Mountain was not a place where people could casually wander around. Even the disciples of the branch sects were not allowed to wander around.
"You want to walk around Mount Shu to look for ingredients. This is difficult, but not impossible."
Elder Feng paused for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind. "It's fine if you want to tour Mount Shu, but you must be obedient. Don't go to places you shouldn't go and touch things you shouldn't touch. Don't cause me any trouble."
Gu Zheng was delighted. "Senior, don't worry. I have remembered everything you said!"
"Also, I can't go with you. Let my disciple, Luo Xiao, go with you. She's the granddaughter of Elder Qin Wanxia and one of the disciples of Mount Shu Sect who entered the Shu Ruins. You have to listen to her when you go around Mount Shu. Finally, you can only go with her. Wuchou will stay here and play chess with me! "
Gu Zheng could understand letting Elder Wuchou stay. After all, it was against the rules to bring outsiders around Mount Shu. It was naturally not good to bring too many people. As for the little Taoist nun Luo Xiao, Elder Feng directly pointed out her identity. Was he trying to remind him of something?
"Hey, why are you in a daze? Do you still want to look for ingredients? "Luo Xiao asked.
Gu Zheng smiled. "Of course I do. Let's go!"
Gu Zheng followed Luo Xiao out of the Hidden Sword Peak, but after a few steps, Luo Xiao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Wait for me here. I'll change my clothes and come over."
After saying that, Luo Xiao immediately left.
Looking at Luo Xiao's back, Gu Zheng smiled in his heart.
During the Ranking Ceremony, Luo Xiao was also present. Gu Zheng had seen her, but at that time, he had not paid attention to her at all. If Luo Xiao hadn't appeared in front of Gu Zheng today, Gu Zheng would have forgotten about her in no time.
If Elder Feng hadn't pointed out Luo Xiao's identity, Gu Zheng wouldn't have thought too much about it. Since Elder Feng had pointed out her identity, her attitude meant that she was a little unfriendly.
"Luo Xiao is Qin Wanxia's granddaughter. Qin Wanxia received benefits from the Qingcheng Sect but didn't succeed. She must have some opinions about me in her heart. Walking with Qin Wanxia's granddaughter, her attitude is not very friendly. It's better to be more careful." Gu Zheng thought.
Luo Xiao's change of clothes was just an excuse. At this time, she had already arrived at Qin Wanxia's residence.
"Grandma, I saw Gu Zheng at my master's place."
After seeing Qin Wanxia, Luo Xiao went straight to the point and told her everything that had happened at Elder Feng's place.
"Feng Hansheng made an exception for him and let him walk around Mount Shu. This is not particularly excessive. You can take him around. But what happened along the way, just come back and tell me."
Qin Wanxia's expression didn't change, not even a ripple. This was a bit beyond Luo Xiao's expectations. According to her understanding, her grandma was a person who kept her words and would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Since she had received benefits from the Qingcheng Sect but didn't succeed, she should not let Emei off easily. It was inevitable that she would make things difficult for Emei. As for Luo Xiao, naturally, she shared the same hatred as her grandma, so she was very displeased with Gu Zheng. It was just that she didn't show it on the surface.
"What's wrong? Do you feel strange? "
As if she had seen through Luo Xiao's thoughts, Qin Wanxia smiled at Luo Xiao affectionately.
"A little, but you naturally have your reasons for being so open-minded." Luo Xiao took Qin Wanxia's arm and smiled coquettishly.
"Mischievous girl, are you saying that your grandma is narrow-minded?"
Qin Wanxia pointed between Luo Xiao's eyebrows with her finger, which made Luo Xiao stick out her tongue naughtily.
"Girl, in your opinion, what kind of person is Gu Zheng?" Qin Wanxia asked.
"He is a character, but he deliberately hid his strength at the Ranking Ceremony, and his flamboyance made me hate him." Luo Xiao gave a direct answer, with both praise and criticism.
"He is a person from the outside world, not like the kind of brothers and sisters you usually see. Using a little trick at such an important place like the Ranking Ceremony is really nothing." Qin Wanxia touched Luo Xiao's hair and said earnestly, "Girl, look at people, don't just look at the appearance!"
"Grandma, I feel that you seem to think highly of him. What's so different about him? If he's just young and promising, you shouldn't be like this, right? "
Luo Xiao's eyes were filled with suspicion. In her heart, her grandma was a very arrogant person. In terms of seniority, she was older than Gu Zheng. Even if Gu Zheng was young and promising, her grandma should evaluate him as an elder, and not like today, as if she was talking about someone of the same generation. Her face was full of regret.
"Different?" Qin Wanxia murmured. She seemed to be a little absent-minded, as if she didn't know where to start. However, her eyes regained their vigor in an instant, and there seemed to be a hint of slyness in them. "Girl, he is very different. Now, the people of Shu Mountain also want to know more about him. Grandma just received the news that Sect Leader Gu seems to have won a few gourmet competitions, so you don't have to be surprised that he has good culinary skills. Does this count as different? Young, high cultivation, good culinary skills. Do you want to find a Dao companion like this for you? "
"Grandma, why are you talking about me!" Luo Xiao almost jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on.
"Grandma, what you said is true." Qin Wanxia said with a faint smile.
"Grandma, I still have to take Gu Zheng to Shu Mountain, so I'll take my leave first. I'll report to you after we're done!" Luo Xiao didn't want to be entangled in the matter of a Dao companion, so she ran out directly.
Not long after she left, Luo Xiao's eyes became suspicious.
"Could it be that grandma doesn't want me to ask more, so she deliberately used the matter of a Dao companion to make me go away? After all, she knows that I hate talking about this matter. Well, the older the ginger, the spicier it is! "Luo Xiao turned her head and stomped her feet angrily.
Gu Zheng didn't wait for long. When Luo Xiao returned, she had changed her Dao robe into a set of clothes that were relatively close-fitting and more convenient for moving through the forest.
It had to be said that Luo Xiao's body, which was hidden by the Dao robe, was particularly curvaceous. Gu Zheng glanced at it, then shifted his gaze elsewhere. Even so, Luo Xiao still snorted coldly. "You dare to wear it? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
"You misunderstood. It's not that I don't dare to look, nor am I looking secretly. I just feel that it's not good to keep staring. If you insist that I'm being hypocritical by looking elsewhere and disrespecting you, then I can be a little more 'true to myself' and 'respect' you a little more! "
She was just a little girl, so Gu Zheng didn't want to lower himself to her level. Although he said those words forcefully, he didn't really do it.
Moreover, Gu Zheng also felt a little change in himself. It seemed that in the outside world, whether it was the way he acted or the way he spoke, was a little different from when he was facing cultivators. For example, if they were in the outside world, Gu Zheng might be too lazy to say these things to a girl.
When he first discovered these differences, Gu Zheng had communicated with Elder Wuyou. Elder Wuyou felt that this was very normal. After all, the world of cultivators was very different from the outside world. If it was still like the outside world, in the world of cultivators, or even in the world of cultivators, he would be at a disadvantage. He had to endure when he should, and he definitely couldn't endure when he shouldn't. After all, he was the head of a sect, and he still had to fight for things like face.
"You …" Luo Xiao was so angry at Gu Zheng's words that she was a little tongue-tied for a moment, but soon she smiled slightly. "Well, you're really sharp-tongued. Fortunately, I've already seen it during the ranking ceremony. Otherwise, wouldn't I be angered to death by you? Let's go, let's go! "
Luo Xiao didn't want to argue about what to wear, and Gu Zheng naturally didn't want to either. The two of them walked down the side path of the Hidden Sword Peak and headed to the back mountain of Shu Mountain.
The Hidden Sword Peak was the highest peak of Shu Mountain. After walking along the steep mountain path for a while, they reached the top of another mountain.
A sea of clouds rose around them, and green cypresses and firs could be seen everywhere.
"Can I take a stroll around here?" Gu Zheng asked.
"If you want to walk around a few more mountains, don't walk around here for too long. There are also a few seniors in Shu Mountain who like cooking, and they sometimes come to the back mountain to collect some ingredients. This mountain is considered the periphery of the back mountain, and it has been stepped on the most times. So if you want to find good ingredients here, I'm afraid you're thinking too much! "Luo Xiao's attitude had calmed down a lot, but there was still a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything and walked straight in a direction. There was a huge tree crown there, which was very eye-catching.
There were very few pine trees in the Shu Mountain Range, but that tree crown belonged to a pine tree. Judging from the tree crown, this pine tree was at least as thick as two people hugging it, and it was definitely more than a thousand years old.
"Pine pollen, ordinary ingredient."
The voice of the Weapon Spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Can you let me pick some pine pollen here? I only need one coin, and it can be used to cook," Gu Zheng said.
"Wishful thinking! Pine pollen has the effect of beautifying and nourishing one's skin. It's an indispensable ingredient for refining the 'Beautifying Pill'. Don't tell me you don't know that? Not to mention one coin, I can't even give you a centimeter! In addition, not only can you not pick pine pollen, you can't pick any medicinal ingredients. These are all resources that belong to the Shu Mountain Sect. Only those real wild vegetables can be dug up and used! "
One coin of pine pollen wasn't much, and it was more than that amount that was blown away by the wind from this pine tree every day. But who asked Luo Xiao to be unhappy with Gu Zheng? If it was something that was suspected of violating the rules, Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to get it.
Luo Xiao looked at Gu Zheng proudly. She thought that Gu Zheng would be a little unhappy, but who would have thought that Gu Zheng actually nodded, as if he agreed with what she said.
Gu Zheng continued to search, but he stopped again after walking for a short distance.
"Morning Dew Vegetable, second-grade ingredient."
Unless it was Gu Zheng's request, the Artifact Spirits wouldn't report ingredients that were inferior to his.
"I can dig up this Morning Dew Vegetable, right?"
Gu Zheng pointed to a small vegetable under the fir tree with a little dew hanging on it.
"No, this is also a medicinal ingredient used to refine the 'Hundred Spirits Pill'!"
If Gu Zheng hadn't spoken, Luo Xiao wouldn't have recognized the weeds that looked like a leek. She hadn't made things difficult for Gu Zheng enough, so she naturally wouldn't let him get the ingredients so easily. But she didn't know that the so-called 'Morning Dew Vegetable' was actually made up by Gu Zheng. It was just a weed.
"What's the Hundred Spirits Pill?"
Gu Zheng's mouth hung a trace of ridicule.
The 'Hundred Spirits Pill' was something that Luo Xiao casually made up. She was stunned and said rather unhappily, "The Hundred Spirits Pill is a medicinal pill unique to Shu Mountain Sect. This isn't something you should ask about! Don't tell me you forgot that before you left, my master told you not to ask what you shouldn't ask? "
"Is that so?"
Gu Zheng's voice paused. "Then the next time you go to a place, if there are medicinal ingredients from Shu Mountain Sect there, just tell me directly. Otherwise, when I say it, you will say no."
"If I tell you every time we go to a place, won't I be exhausted to death?" Luo Xiao rolled her eyes.
"I'll ask you. You don't have to take the initiative to tell me."
As Gu Zheng spoke, he continued to search.
After a while, Gu Zheng, who had stopped in his tracks, said, "Are there any medicinal ingredients from Shu Mountain Sect within a five-meter radius?"
Luo Xiao didn't even need to look to know that there were no medicinal ingredients from Shu Mountain Sect here. As Elder Feng's only disciple, she often went to the back of the mountain and was also responsible for looking after the medicinal ingredients. Her heart was as clear as a mirror as where medicinal ingredients grew in the back of Shu Mountain Sect.
But now that Gu Zheng had asked, he must have found some ingredients. Luo Xiao wanted to take a good look and continue to make things difficult for him.
"It, it, it, it, it! They are all medicinal ingredients from Shu Mountain Sect. As for their names, don't ask. You won't know even if I tell you! "
Luo Xiao ordered three weeds that she thought might be ingredients. To be on the safe side, she also ordered a somewhat suspicious sapling.
"Is that all?"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly. The ingredients that he had his eyes on were not something that this little girl could find out.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Luo Xiao's vigilant eyes swept around. She felt that there was really no decent ingredients, so she nodded her head.
Gu Zheng did not say anything more and walked straight to the bottom of an old cypress tree. There was a patch of green moss, and in the middle of the moss, there was a small inconspicuous white flower.
Gu Zheng walked to the side of the little white flower, pinched it with two fingers, and frowned slightly.
"Damn it!"
Luo Xiao cursed silently. Gu Zheng's current appearance showed that he had used his inner strength. If a cultivator could use his inner strength to pick a little white flower, it could only mean that the little white flower had a relatively developed root system.
A plant with a small flower the size of a pinky nail without an exposed flower path, but with a developed root system, it must be extraordinary!
In Luo Xiao's widened eyes, Gu Zheng pulled out a half meter long grass root from under the inconspicuous little flower. It was as thick as a pinky finger and as white as jade. If one did not look at the thickness and degree of development, the shape of this strange grass root was quite similar to that of a thatch root. It was also segmented.
This grass root that Luo Xiao did not recognize was called "Rock Sugar Plum". It was relatively rare, and the level of its ingredient was also ordinary. As for its age, it was at least a thousand years old.
Moreover, "Rock Sugar Plum" was very rare. It was both a medicinal ingredient and an ingredient. Not only did Luo Xiao not recognize it, even the Grand Supreme Elders of Emei Sect did not recognize it. Otherwise, it would not have been able to grow until now. It would have been picked long ago.
Ignoring Luo Xiao's shock, Gu Zheng directly shook the "Rock Sugar Plum" and at the same time, used the Immortal Art of Earth Control. The soil on it immediately fell off without a trace.
Taking out a piece of wet cloth that he carried with him, Gu Zheng wrapped the "Rock Sugar Plum" and rubbed it to the bottom. Then, he broke off a section and put it in his mouth.
"Crunch …"
A very crisp sound came from Gu Zheng's mouth, as if he had taken a bite of a radish. As Gu Zheng chewed, a sweet fragrance spread out.
"What is this?"
No matter how careful she was, she still let Gu Zheng find the ingredient. Luo Xiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she did not show it on her face.
"Who knows what it is? I think it can be used to cook. Do you want to try it?"
On the surface, he did not show any expression, but Gu Zheng was sneering in his heart. He did not want to lower himself to the level of this little girl. She was always looking for trouble, so he had to solve it. If he let her do whatever she wanted, how could he find the ingredients in the future?
"Yes, why not!"
Luo Xiao did not hesitate. Since the ingredient had been found by Gu Zheng, it would be a waste not to eat it.
On the surface, there was nothing strange. Gu Zheng broke off half of the "Rock Sugar Plum" and gave it to Luo Xiao. In fact, the half that he broke off had been tampered with.
The "Rock Sugar Plum" was very strange. It looked pure white, but if one looked closely, they would find that it was divided into two colors. One was a little more transparent, and the other was a little less transparent. The two were slightly different, and they were divided into sections that crossed each other. The one with a higher transparency had a sour and sweet taste. This was also the origin of the word "plum" in its name. As for the one with a lower transparency, it was as sweet as rock sugar. The one that Gu Zheng ate was the one that was as sweet as rock sugar.
Luo Xiao only got half of the sour and sweet half, and Gu Zheng had tampered with it with the Water Control Art, condensing and purifying the sour taste.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was enjoying the sweetness just now, Luo Xiao put the "Rock Sugar Plum" in her mouth and chewed hard.
The "Rock Sugar Plum" exploded in Luo Xiao's mouth. The taste was like old vinegar, and it went straight to Luo Xiao's nostrils.
"Cough cough …"
Luo Xiao coughed violently, and the "Rock Sugar Plum" in her mouth was also spat out. Even though she was a cultivator, she was still caught off guard by the mellow sour taste, and she almost squeezed out tears!
"Why is it like this?" After Luo Xiao stopped coughing, she looked at Gu Zheng with a frown.
"This kind of ingredient is very strange. When a kind person eats it, the taste is sweet, but when a bad person eats it, the taste is sour. Are you always trying to make things difficult for me, so the taste is incomparably sour?"
Gu Zheng's face was very serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.
Luo Xiao wasn't stupid, and she suddenly thought of something, "Did you do something to it?"
"A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. Yes, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. This time, I came to find ingredients, and I naturally have benefits, but I will also share some of the ingredients with you. When we go back, I will make delicious food for you. If you still want to make things difficult for me, then I'm sorry, I will turn around and go back now. I will also tell Elder Feng everything that happened here. "
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and he grinned at Luo Xiao who was obviously in a daze, "I won't keep you company!"
"Stop right there!"
Luo Xiao was indeed stunned by Gu Zheng's words. She had never been yelled at in her life, so how could she stand it?
"Why should I stop just because you asked me to? Why should I?"
Gu Zheng continued to walk forward, but Luo Xiao's figure flashed, and she immediately blocked in front of him.
"What do you have to be arrogant about? Other than scheming and snitching, what else can you do? Do you think your cultivation is very high? You are only in your twenties, and your cultivation is at the late stage of the fourth level. You just happened to consume a heavenly treasure. Us Shushan disciples have reached the fourth level in their twenties. I am also in the fourth level. Although I am only in the early stage of the fourth level, I am younger than you. I am only nineteen years old this year. When I reach your age, my cultivation will not be worse than yours! "
Luo Xiao was really angry. Her whole body was trembling, and her words were a little incoherent.
"What kind of logic is that? I just happened to consume a heavenly treasure, but what about you? If the sect did not use all kinds of pills to help you improve, would you be able to reach the early stage of the fourth level at this age? As for what you said about reaching my age, your cultivation will not be much worse than mine, what's the point of saying that? When you reach my age, I don't know what realm my cultivation will be at! Also, you said that I am scheming, but are you not scheming when you repeatedly make things difficult for me? Why can't you make it clear from the beginning? Why do you only make things difficult for me when I have already found the ingredients? As for snitching, since you have already done it, why should you care about it? "
Gu Zheng's eyes were full of undisguised ridicule, and he said a lot in one breath.
"I want to challenge you, and you don't have the guts to accept? If you have the ability, then suppress your cultivation to the early stage of the fourth level. Don't use your 'Meteor Immortal Steps' and immortal equipment. See if I don't beat you until you beg for mercy! "
Luo Xiao was so angry that she was unreasonable. She pulled out the sharp sword on her back and pointed it at Gu Zheng.
"You actually want to challenge me? You actually want to beat me until I beg for mercy? Fine! Since it is a challenge, what about the winner and loser? "
Gu Zheng really did not want to be angry, but he was so angry that he was amused. If a man had made such a request, Gu Zheng would definitely have given him two words: shameless.
"If you win, I will not make things difficult for you on the way. But if you lose, you will have to be obedient when you see me in the future! "Luo Xiao said hatefully.
"Okay, come on!"
Gu Zheng nodded and reached out to pull out the sword on his back. This sword was still the one he had given to Gu An. Even if there were no fierce beasts on the trip to the back of the mountain, it would be good to have a sharp weapon to pave the way. While waiting for Luo Xiao to change her clothes, Gu Zheng would go and bring the sword back. As for his immortal equipment, Tang Mo, it was still in the Chaotic Space.
"Take this!"
Luo Xiao moved sideways, and a crescent-shaped inner strength slashed towards Gu Zheng along with the sword.
"Slash!"
Gu Zheng waved the sword in his hand, and his inner strength slashed a hole in the crescent-shaped inner strength. At the same time, he had already used the Ethereal Body Illusion Technique to rush towards Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao had said that he was not allowed to use the Meteor Steps. Although the Ethereal Body Illusion Technique was not slow, it was far inferior to the so-called Meteor Steps. Gu Zheng was not worried that Luo Xiao would say that he had broken the rules.
"Clang …"
The distance between them was not far. As Gu Zheng rushed forward, Luo Xiao also raised her sword to meet him. Their weapons collided heavily.
Gu Zheng did not intend to waste time with Luo Xiao. When their weapons collided, he used the sixth move of the Fallen Leaves Swordsmanship. A strange inner strength seeped out of his sword and attracted Luo Xiao's sword like a magnet.
Luo Xiao frowned and tried to break free, but it was useless. The sixth move of the Fallen Leaves Swordsmanship produced a suction force that was actually a contest of inner strength between the two parties. If Luo Xiao's inner strength was not as strong as Gu Zheng's, it would be difficult for her weapon to break free.
"Clang clang clang clang …"
The sound of metal clashing could be heard continuously. Gu Zheng's arm was drawing circles, and Luo Xiao's arm was also passively doing the same. Her weapon was about to be swept away by the inner strength of Gu Zheng's sword.
"Let go!"
Gu Zheng roared. Luo Xiao did not dare to disperse her inner strength, but he, who had the advantage, dared to! No matter how much he suppressed his cultivation, the so-called 'inner strength' in his body was actually immortal power. This kind of power was even more vigorous. When the two forces collided, it was not something that inner strength could compare to.
"Bang …"
Luo Xiao also pushed out a palm to counteract Gu Zheng's inner strength. However, the sword in her hand was unexpectedly knocked away by Gu Zheng.
Without giving Luo Xiao a chance, Gu Zheng's figure immediately floated up, and the sharp sword in his hand repeatedly attacked Luo Xiao.
"Arm!"
"Waist!"
"Thigh!"
"Neck!"
Without a weapon, and without the agility of Gu Zheng, Luo Xiao could not hit Gu Zheng at all. She was simply being beaten by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng relied on the ingenuity of the Fallen Leaves Sword Technique. Every time he wanted to attack Luo Xiao's body, he would call out the name in advance. Moreover, he did not make any false announcements. It was simply hitting wherever he pointed.
However, this was only a competition, and his opponent was a little girl. Gu Zheng naturally did not really hurt her. Every time, he used the sword as a ruler to hit her. Although he was only using the sword as a ruler, it was still very painful to use his inner strength.
After all, Luo Xiao was still a little girl. How could she withstand Gu Zheng's abuse with his immortal skills? After a few hits, she was beaten silly. She was completely unable to defend herself, and tears were already flowing down her face.
After hitting Luo Xiao a few more times, Gu Zheng asked, "Do you admit defeat?"
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat, wah …"
Previously, Luo Xiao had only been crying. This time, she was really crying out in pain.
Seeing that Luo Xiao had given up resisting and admitted defeat, Gu Zheng stopped and stood to the side.
The originally pretty little Daoist nun was now beaten black and blue. She was still standing there crying. Gu Zheng could not help but ask himself, "Did I hit her too hard?" However, this thought only flashed through his mind!
Was it too hard? It wasn't heavy at all. It was just a small lesson for her. If it was in a real battle, she would have died many times over in that short period of time.
"Since you admit defeat, let's continue on our way?"
The bet was over. Gu Zheng's words were not as cold as before.
"Mm."
Luo Xiao was still crying. Her voice was soft and full of grievance.
Gu Zheng did not say much and continued to search for ingredients.
Luo Xiao could be considered a 'relative of the royal family' in Mount Shu. Gu Zheng had taught her a lesson, so he was not afraid that she would go back and talk about it. After all, this was a competition, and he had already shown mercy. Moreover, he stood on the right side of this matter. He did not believe that with Elder Feng's character, he would be so protective of his own people to such an extent.
As for the others, Gu Zheng did not care so much. No matter what Luo Xiao planned to do in the future, he had to harvest some ingredients first. The back mountain of Mount Shu was really a treasure trove. It did not take long for them to encounter pine pollen and white jade plum. He was looking forward to what they would harvest later.
Gu Zheng walked in front, and Luo Xiao, who was sobbing softly, followed behind him. She was really hit hard this time.
She thought that after Gu Zheng suppressed his cultivation, she could rely on the exquisite swordsmanship of Mount Shu to defeat him. But she did not expect that his swordsmanship and footwork were beyond imagination, and she was completely defeated.
After living for 19 years, Luo Xiao was like a little princess in Mount Shu. She had never been bullied, and she had never lost so badly in a competition with others. When her so-called arrogance was ruthlessly torn apart by Gu Zheng, the intense sense of defeat not only allowed her to see some of the reality, it also made her become like a normal nineteen-year-old girl, bawling her eyes out.
Looking at the back of Gu Zheng, who only cared about looking for ingredients, Luo Xiao, who had stopped crying, gritted her teeth. She had thought that she had been convinced. Even if Gu Zheng did not comfort her at that time, he should have comforted her later, right? However, none of this happened. Even her master, Elder Feng, would have to compromise after making her cry. However, crying in front of Gu Zheng was useless. This caused her anger, which had already been extinguished, to rise a little more.
"Humph, wait and see. If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Although she was gritting her teeth at Gu Zheng's back, Luo Xiao did not realize that after being severely defeated by Gu Zheng, she did not feel that Gu Zheng was pleasing to the eye like before.
Gu Zheng did not know what Luo Xiao was thinking. He only knew that he felt really good now. Without Luo Xiao deliberately making things difficult for him, he only had to walk for more than two miles on the mountain road to harvest two kinds of second-grade wild vegetables.
Gu Zheng glanced at Luo Xiao and thought to himself, "I hope you don't provoke me. How nice it is for us to get along peacefully!"
"I'm hungry!"
Just as Gu Zheng had a glimmer of hope, Luo Xiao immediately spoke as if she had sensed it.
"Then let's rest for a while. I brought a few fruits here."
It was almost noon when they set off from the Hidden Sword Peak. It was not too much for Luo Xiao to say that she was hungry at this time.
"I don't want to eat fruits. I want to eat something you made. You caught a rabbit on the way. You should be planning to use it to make lunch, right?"
Luo Xiao shook her head and rejected the fruit that Gu Zheng handed over.
