At night, the bonfire crackled. The Emei Sect members spent the night in a dilapidated temple. The dilapidated temple was drafty, and one could see the starlight above their heads while sitting inside.
Apart from Gu Hongzi and Miejue, the others were resting in the corner. Meanwhile, Gu Hongzi and Miejue were sitting in front of the bonfire, whispering something.
"Senior Brother, are they all asleep?" Extermination asked softly.
Gu Hongzi nodded. However, Miejue still turned his head back to take a look. He was afraid that his junior sisters and disciples would hear his words.
" Don't worry, Junior Sister." Gu Hongzi smiled." It's fine even if they hear us."”
The light of the fire reflected on Extinction's face, giving it an orange-red blush. The shyness in her eyes flashed past for a moment before she regained her calm expression.
"Senior Brother, I am now the Sect Master of Emei. Without Master's protection, I can no longer be as casual as before. I need to be dignified so that I can prevent people from having designs on Emei.”
Gu Hongzi looked at his junior sister's stubborn eyes and sighed in his heart.
"Junior Sister, do you know why Master gave you the name Extinction?”Gu Hongzi suddenly asked.
Hearing his senior brother mention his master, Miejue's face revealed a look of longing. However, she quickly calmed down from her longing.
"Master probably wants me not to be too soft-hearted and to eliminate those evil people by the roots!”Extermination said firmly.
Gu Hongzi shook his head with a smile, while Miejue looked confused.
"Junior Sister, five years ago, Master gave you the name Extinction because he wanted you to eliminate your hatred and obsession. He didn't want you to be confused by external things and lose your initial heart towards martial arts.”
After Miejue heard this, he recalled the past events of Nun Fengling and could no longer suppress the bitterness on his face.
"Senior Brother, but now the disputes in Jianghu are getting more and more intense. If we want the Emei Sect to stand tall, we can only do this!”
Hearing this, Gu Hongzi reached out and hugged Miejue. Miejue was caught off guard by this action, and his body stiffened as he was hugged by Gu Hongzi.
"Senior brother, you…"
Extinction was speechless for a moment. Why did his senior brother, who had always been polite, become so bold? Although the two of them were already engaged, they had been acting out of love for more than ten years.
Miejue's face turned red as he was held in Gu Hongzi's arms.
"Junior Sister, with me around, Emei will definitely flourish.”Gu Hongzi whispered into Miejue's ear.
"Senior Brother, I…"
Miejue was already somewhat incoherent at this moment. His senior brother's face suddenly came very close. Miejue was so scared that he closed his eyes, but his heart was beating loudly.
However, Gu Hongzi didn't do anything frivolous. Instead, he said gently,""Junior Sister, my Nine Yang Divine Technique has reached the initial success stage.”
"Ah!" Extermination opened his eyes and saw Gu Hongzi's face right in front of him.
Gu Hongzi couldn't help but laugh when he saw his shy junior sister.
"Shixiong, our Emei's Nine Yang Divine Technique is incomplete. He heard from his master that if he wanted to practice it to the Small Success Stage, he would need twenty to thirty years of effort.”Extermination was puzzled.
"Hehe, Junior Sister, I was already at a disadvantage in this competition, but at the critical moment, I had a breakthrough in my understanding of the Nine Yang Divine Technique. Only then will I be able to defeat Yang Xiao!”
Extermination looked at Gu Hongzi and smiled sweetly."Senior Brother, it seems that your comprehension is even higher than mine. Master should have passed the position of sect master to you!”
"There are many female disciples in Emei. It's not suitable for a man like me to be the sect master. Besides, I'm an orphan that Master picked up. Of course, I'll obey Master's words!”
Miejue listened to Gu Hongzi's words and relaxed his body. He then leaned into Gu Hongzi's embrace. At this moment, she felt particularly at ease.
"Junior Sister, sleep early. We still have to hurry to the capital tomorrow!”Gu Hongzi whispered.
"Senior Brother, why do you think Divine Marquis Zhuge invited the people of the six major sects to the capital for a meeting?" Miejue nodded obediently.”
"Maybe something happened in the martial arts world recently!”
"Sigh! If I hadn't met the people from the Divine Constabulary, I would have been able to witness Senior Brother defeating Yang Xiao!”Extinction said regretfully.
Gu Hongzi smiled but didn't say anything. Miejue probably didn't want to know the details of this competition. Gu Hongzi thought of the purple-robed Dragon King. This time, Gu Hongzi was going to take revenge for being tricked by her.
Gu Hongzi draped his cloak over Miejue and added some firewood to the fire. When he turned around, he saw a small figure standing in the corner of the wall. She was not resting. Instead, her eyes were wide open.
Ding Minjun had been eavesdropping on the conversation between her master and her uncle-master, but her voice was too soft. Moreover, she was affected by the crackling sound of the bonfire, so she didn't hear anything. However, she saw her uncle-master and master hugging each other.
When the little girl who was just over ten years old saw this scene, her eyes widened. However, he did not expect that this time, his secret of eavesdropping would be exposed.
Gu Hongzi looked at the mischievous Ding Minjun and frowned. Ding Minjun was so scared that she immediately closed her eyes. In Ding Minjun's heart, her master had become very strict recently. If his master found out that he was eavesdropping, he would definitely end up in a terrible state.
Gu Hongzi looked at the frightened little girl and shook his head with a smile. Then, he leaned against the gate of the ruined temple to rest.
Gu Hongzi was guarding the door, and Miejue was sleeping soundly by the fire. Ever since Abbess Fengling passed away, Miejue had not slept so soundly for a long time.
Now that Shixiong's Nine Yang Divine Skill has reached the initial level, Emei finally has the confidence to protect themselves. Miejue felt a little relieved. In the future, his senior brother would be his support.
At this moment, Gu Hongzi was calculating the situation in the martial world. There were two Divine Overlords in Great Song. One of them was the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Budian, who had awed the Mongolian army at the border. The other was the Zhuge Divine Marquis, Zhuge Zhengwo, who was in charge of the security of the capital.
This time, Divine Marquis Zhuge had invited the six major sects to the capital to discuss something important. Gu Hongzi reckoned that there was another storm in the martial world.
This Jianghu was much more exciting than the Jianghu in his memory. Many sects from different periods were mixed together, presenting a situation where martial arts flourished.
All martial arts practitioners sought the highest realm of martial arts, becoming immortals without aging. However, according to ancient legends, for thousands of years, there were only ten martial artists who had become immortals.
Moreover, these were all rumors. No one had ever seen a real immortal. Only those true and false legends and peerless secret manuals were passed down in the world.
With the help of the system, Gu Hongzi would definitely stand at the peak of the martial arts world.
