Time flew by, and it was already late autumn. The Three Stars Temple was located in Mount Innerheart, but the terrain was not high. There were protruding mountains all around to block the cold currents from the outside world. The temperature was relatively warm, but it also had a sense of depression. It was going to snow in a month or two. According to the old rules, everyone had to prepare the materials for the winter before the snow closed the mountain. They would cultivate in the temple throughout the winter and return to the mountain when the flowers bloomed next spring. This time, it was the turn of Long Yan's group to go down the mountain. Sun Wukong should have gone with them, but everyone felt that it was inconvenient to bring him along, so they left him in the temple. After the discussion, they would set off tomorrow. Long Yan saw that Gu Jingjing had not caused any trouble for Sun Wukong these days, so he thought that she had given up on the idea of revenge. Oolong and Nine-Headed Bird never appeared again. The original suspicion that they had been lurking nearby seemed to be unfounded. After all, this had nothing to do with them. As time passed, they began to forget. It was late at night. Long Yan and Sun Wukong talked until late at night. Humans were not plants, and no one could be heartless. Moreover, the first person that Su Wukong met in Mount Innerheart was Long Yan. After becoming his disciple, he even stayed in the same room as Long Yan, inseparable. Every time they went down the mountain, it would take at least one or two months before they could return. It was really difficult for them to part for such a long time.
The next day, Long Yan and the other 11 people had already left. Sun Wukong was still looking out when someone patted his shoulder. When he turned around and saw Gu Jingjing, he called out,""Senior Brother." Even though everyone had a distinction between men and women, they still addressed each other as fellow disciples. Otherwise, Sun Wukong would not have misunderstood after Long Yan hid Gu Jingjing's identity.
Gu Jingjing said," You can't bear to? It's not like you won't come. However, it seems that you and Long Yan really have some feelings for each other."”Gu Jingjing was actually a few months older than Long Yan, but she had only become his junior sister after acknowledging him as her master. Therefore, she felt a little uncomfortable addressing Long Yan as senior brother. Unless it was an important occasion, she would address him by his name. Long Yan and she were of the same age, so she could accept this form of address.
" When my master was in seclusion, he told me to learn from Senior Brother Long Yan," Sun Wukong said." Senior Brother Long Yan has been doing his best. Although it's only been half a year, I feel that I've benefited a lot and improved quite a lot." Now that Senior Brother Long Yan had left the mountain, he would probably have to abandon his studies.”
When Gu Jingjing heard this, she smiled and said,"So you're quite ambitious."?”
Sun Wukong remembered that although he had become a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, he had only met his master briefly. Moreover, his master had deliberately delayed his seclusion for a day because he had gone up the mountain. The Patriarch had treated him well. His heart warmed as he said,"Wukong has received Master's teachings, how could he dare to slack off?”
A sly smile flashed across Gu Jingjing's eyes as she said,""I'm also your senior brother. Since my master is in seclusion, I naturally have the responsibility to teach you. Since the dragon flame isn't here, I'll arrange your homework from now on.”Thinking about how he would be able to command Sun Wukong more legitimately in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little smug. He smiled and looked at the monkey in front of him, as if he was a big shot.
Sun Wukong was delighted. Long Yan had told him about Gu Jingjing's dark dragon in the deep pool after she returned. He knew that this martial sister's ability was even better than Long Yan's. Now that she had said that she would take on his homework, it was obvious that she wanted to teach him some skills. He really couldn't stop his luck. How could he not agree? He hurriedly said,"Wukong, as you wish."
Gu Jingjing smiled." We're all fellow disciples. There's no need to be so polite. You're a disciple favored by Master. If you benefit from Master, don't forget about me."”
" Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Long treat me like a brother," Sun Wukong said." I've never dared to forget them. If there's really something good for me, I wouldn't dare to enjoy it alone."”
Gu Jingjing smiled brightly. When she thought about how she was now riding on the monkey's head, she felt extremely pleased and the slyness in her eyes became even stronger.
The wind blew for a whole night, and the weather became even drier. Due to the special terrain of the Three Stars Temple, the temperature did not change much. However, the wild geese flying south, the withered vegetation, the fiery red maples, and the fruits on the trees all showed the strong aura of autumn and the charm of this harvest season.
There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun was not as hot as summer. Occasionally, a dry wind blew, and it was as comfortable as a lover's gentle touch. Gu Jingjing was lying on a flat rock with her eyes slightly narrowed. Her long eyelashes were just enough to block the glaring sunlight. Her lips were slightly closed, revealing a row of white teeth. It was almost noon, and the stone was warm under the sun. After a trip down, his entire body was soft. It had been a long time since he felt so comfortable. The basket beside her had half a basket of wild grapes that she had just picked. They were round and sparkling like rubies.
Sun Wukong hopped to the side of the big rock. He was carrying four or five bags on his back. They were wild fruits, walnuts, chestnuts, and other dried fruits. There was also a bag of mountain red. They had found a persimmon tree. The tree was covered in red persimmons, and they drooled at the sight of it. Unfortunately, Sun Wukong had only taken a bite before he could not open his mouth.
Gu Jingjing saw Sun Wukong returning with a full load and quickly sat up. It was so convenient to have a follower. This monkey was agile and diligent. It was really convenient to use. Sun Wukong placed the bags on the stone mountain and said,""Senior Brother, it's getting late. Should we go back?”
Gu Jingjing said," It's rare for us to have so much fun and gain so much. What's the rush to go back?"”
Sun Wukong said,"If the senior brothers don't see us during lunch, won't they be worried and be reprimanded?"”
Gu Jingjing pursed her lips and said," They're only thinking about how to get things right. They don't have the time to care about us. Even if we don't go back for a month, I can guarantee that they won't care about us."”
Sun Wukong's heart trembled, and he said," Senior Brother, you're too kind. All of you are usually like elders and take care of us junior brothers. How can you be so heartless?"”
Gu Jingjing said," If you don't believe me, why don't we make a bet? When we return, if anyone asks about our whereabouts, I'll teach you a skill. If no one asks, you only have to do one thing for me."”
When Sun Wukong saw Gu Jingjing's resolute tone, he recalled the incident where he went to take a bath with Long Yan that day. After returning, no one asked them about it, so he couldn't help but believe Gu Jingjing's words a little. He said,""If it's really as Senior Brother said, why are all Senior Brothers so ignorant of the ways of the world?”
Gu Jingjing said," Because they all claim to be immortals. Naturally, they want to be pure. Otherwise, how can they cultivate immortality?"”
Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Wasn't this a walking corpse? Usually, his senior brothers were quite close to him and would occasionally give him pointers on his abilities. However, his sister was so unbearable. Could this be true? He was also an immortal cultivator now. Would he be so heartless after becoming an immortal?
Gu Jingjing said," Can't you tell that the senior brothers usually have a straight face? It's as if they don't want to pay back what they owe them. Although there are many people in the temple, it's the place where there's the least anger."”
Although Sun Wukong felt that Gu Jingjing's words were a little exaggerated, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that his senior brothers were pretty much all blank faces. They rarely had expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. However, he couldn't understand it at the moment. He felt that Gu Jingjing's words were reasonable, but also a little extreme. He vaguely felt that she seemed a little abnormal today, so he said,""I don't think so. We're not neighbors, so there's no need to put on an act.”
