When the two saw his expression, their smiles widened.
"Hehe, what's wrong, Junior Brother Tan? Do you think you can hide your good deed from everyone?" One of the young men laughed.
"How did you know?" Tan Gu felt something was wrong.
Another young man said with a smile, "Junior Sister Song is right. Now, the entire Divine Mystery Pavilion knows of Junior Brother Tan's righteous deed. You lent the Soaring Elixir to Junior Brother Xu Hun, and you were willing to delay your own cultivation.
"Junior Sister Song …" Tan Gu felt bitter.
This was blocking his path and saving Xu Hun from future trouble. He could not complain to the Pavilion Leader anymore. This was forcing him to act like a saint.
"This matter will definitely reach the Pavilion Leader's ears."
"That's right. After the Pavilion Leader finds out, he will definitely praise Junior Brother Tan for your righteous deed. He might even reward you with a Flying Pill. It's very likely!"
"Yes, this is killing two birds with one stone. Well done. I'm impressed!" The two gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
They were jealous and angry. It was better to be careful with such a scheming person.
"Junior Brother Tan, I think Junior Sister Song's feelings for you are completely different this time. Congratulations, Junior Brother Tan!"
"Not only did you get the Pavilion Leader's praise, but you also got a beauty. If you can win Junior Sister Song's heart, forget about a Flying Pill, even if it's two or three, no one will be stingy!"
"Junior Brother Tan, you're really … amazing!"
The two of them had a look of admiration on their faces and gave him a thumbs up.
Tan Gu only smiled faintly and shook his head. He could not defend himself.
"After thinking about it, Junior Brother Tan is still the wiser one. We are far inferior!" The two shook their heads and sighed. There was a hint of jealousy in their eyes.
Tan Gu felt bitter but could only maintain his smile.
The two quickly left.
After the courtyard door was closed, Tan Gu went to the stone table and swept his arms across the table. The plates of fruits on the table fell to the ground.
He stepped forward and stomped his feet, crushing the plates into pieces.
He had clearly suffered a great loss, but now, someone said that he had taken advantage of the situation. There was nothing more depressing than this. He wanted nothing more than to rush in front of Chu Li and kill him with a single palm strike so that he would spit out the Sky Soaring Pill he had swallowed.
Unfortunately, even if he had the heart to kill the thief, he was powerless to reverse the situation. This fellow had already grown up, and he could no longer suppress him!
He gritted his teeth as his mind raced to come up with a way to deal with Chu Li.
After a while, he directly left his courtyard and walked up the bluestone steps.
The two sides of the bluestone steps were decorated with fresh flowers that were dazzling and emitting a faint fragrance.
He stopped in front of another exquisite courtyard, took a deep breath, and gently knocked on the door. "Senior Martial Brother Qu?"
A handsome young man opened the door and looked at him coldly.
He was the young man who gave the Sky Soaring Pill to Song Wu earlier. His figure was tall and slender, and his eyes shone brightly. He exuded a heroic aura, but at the same time, he was cold and arrogant. He seemed to be looking down at Tan Gu, "Junior Martial Brother Tan!"
"Senior Brother Qu, I have something to report," Tan Gu hurriedly said.
Qu Xiao turned sideways and gestured for him to come in. He turned around and went to the gazebo in the courtyard, looking at him indifferently.
Under his intense gaze, the air seemed to solidify. Tan Gu was indescribably uncomfortable. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really did not want to appear in front of Qu Xiao. Qu Xiao's aura was too strong, and the pressure was too great, making him uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
"Senior Martial Brother Qu, have you heard about my matter?" Tan Gu asked.
Qu Xiao nodded.
Tan Gu sighed and said, "Actually, there's a hidden story behind this matter."
"Speak," Qu Xiao said lightly.
He had long guessed that there was a hidden story behind this matter. He knew better than anyone what kind of person Tan Gu was. It was already good enough that he did not steal other people's Sky Soaring Pills. There were faint rumors, but no one reported it, so the pavilion would not meddle.
Tan Gu actually lent the Sky Soaring Pill to Xu Hun, who was ranked last. No matter what other people said, Qu Xiao would not believe it unless the sun rose from the west and Tan Gu changed his personality. It was easy to change mountains and rivers, but it was hard to change a person's personality, so this was impossible.
Tan Gu sighed, "Actually, my Sky Soaring Pill was stolen."
"Hmm — —?" Qu Xiao frowned.
Tan Gu helplessly said, "I was originally planning to borrow a Sky Soaring Pill from Junior Martial Brother Xu, but I never thought that he would suddenly turn hostile and steal my Sky Soaring Pill. I was caught off guard and fell into his trap, so I could only hand over the Sky Soaring Pill!"
Qu Xiao reached out and grabbed Tan Gu's wrist to check his pulse, then frowned and looked at him, "This isn't a trap, right?"
Based on his current injuries, he knew that the person who attacked him had a very high cultivation level, only slightly weaker than him. Tan Gu was not a match for him.
"This …" Tan Gu revealed an embarrassed expression.
"He did it himself, without Junior Martial Sister Song?" Qu Xiao snorted.
"This …" Tan Gu's eyes turned, but in the end, he shook his head, "No, there wasn't Junior Martial Sister Song."
He still did not dare to casually frame Song Wu. He knew that Qu Xiao was on Song Wu's side. If he tried to frame Song Wu, he was afraid that Qu Xiao would not help him, and it would only backfire.
His concealment made Qu Xiao even more suspicious, so he stared at him with a frown, "There really wasn't Junior Martial Sister Song?"
"No, there really wasn't," Tan Gu hurriedly said.
The more he denied it, the more Qu Xiao became suspicious.
"You're a dignified senior martial brother, yet your junior martial brother stole your Sky Soaring Pill. You don't have the face to tell others," Qu Xiao said coldly, "Why tell me?"
"I feel that this Junior Martial Brother Xu cannot be underestimated." Tan Gu shook his head, "Let me make it clear first, I did not come here to complain to Senior Martial Brother Qu and ask for Senior Martial Brother Qu's help."
Qu Xiao's lips curled into a sneer, silently cursing at Tan Gu's hypocrisy.
Tan Gu said, "Junior Martial Sister Song came later because she was worried that I would bully Junior Martial Brother Xu, but by the time she arrived, the fight had already ended, and I was already seriously injured."
"En." Qu Xiao slowly nodded.
His mind worked very quickly, and in just a short while, he had already thought through everything from beginning to end.
He thought that even if Junior Martial Sister Song attacked, she would not have injured Tan Gu, at most she would have forced him to retreat. Moreover, with Junior Martial Sister Song here, Tan Gu would not have attacked again, so Tan Gu's injury was indeed caused by Xu Hun.
It seemed that he had misjudged this Junior Martial Brother Xu Hun was actually a powerful person, and his talent was not as mediocre as he had thought.
Tan Gu said, "I feel that this Junior Martial Brother Xu is really powerful. Think about it, he has only been in the sect for less than three years, right? His Heavenly Heart Technique has at least reached the seventh layer, if this goes on … just thinking about it is frightening! "
Qu Xiao lightly said, "The pavilion has gained another talented person."
"Junior Martial Sister Song is also very perceptive, actually able to see how powerful Junior Martial Brother Xu is, that's why she was so close to him." Tan Gu shook his head and sighed, "When it comes to judging people, no one is as good as Junior Martial Sister Song!"
"Junior Martial Sister Song …" The corner of Qu Xiao's mouth twitched, but he did not deny it.
Tan Gu said, "He has already swallowed my Sky Soaring Pill, so I am not here to ask Senior Martial Brother Qu to make a decision, I just want to remind Senior Martial Brother Qu not to underestimate this Junior Martial Brother Xu, don't be fooled by him!"
"En, I understand." Qu Xiao coldly said, "I understand what you are thinking, go!"
"Yes." Tan Gu cupped his fists, turned around, and slowly walked out.
