C118 (1/2)
After tidying herself up and seeing that she was still relatively neat in the bronze mirror, Gu Hua walked into Yu Qingzhu's main courtyard with small steps and a cute smile. Along the way, she received countless worshipping gazes, and only then did Miss Gu feel that she had become famous. What a celebrity effect!
When the two female cultivators in their twenties saw her, they actually smiled at her in a friendly manner. One of them smiled and informed her, ”Peak Master has been waiting for a long time.”
Miss Gu's adorable smile instantly collapsed. There was still no way out, how could he let a Peak Master wait for him?
Seemingly aware of her distress, the female cultivator explained, ”There is no need to worry, the Peak Master is not the only one.”
More than one?
Miss Gu's frown deepened. 'Girl, are you sure you aren't giving me a Divine Replenishment Sabre?'
There was more than just one person waiting for her to become an unknown trash.
It would be better to first inquire about the situation. ”May I ask, Senior Sister, who else is in the hall?”
”This …” The female cultivator seemed to be stumped by this question, ”I don't know about this. Junior apprentice sister will know once you enter.”
Soon, they arrived at Yu Qingzhu's courtyard. The female cultivator gave Gu Hua a faint smile and did not linger. She followed the same path and soon disappeared.
Gu Hua took a deep breath and walked to the clearly laughing room in the courtyard. She said obediently: ”Disciple Gu Hua Wei has come to pay his respects to the Peak Master.”
The laughter in the room stopped. The carved, red door swung open without the wind, and a group of people appeared in the timid Miss Gu's line of sight.
The Sect Leader, the Peak Master of Qingfeng Mountain, the Peak Master of Five Fingers Peak, and some other great figures whose names are unknown, just what are you and Yu Qingzhu here for? You guys are all staring at me and trying to do something bad to me?
Miss Gu was almost scared to the point of peeing her pants. She was just a good-for-nothing!
Seemingly amused by her dumbstruck appearance, Yu Qingzhu gently lifted her skirt and called out to her in the gentlest voice, ”Come in and greet all the seniors.”
As if she had awoken from a dream, Gu Hua slightly blushed as she lifted her small skirt, and stepped over the tall doorstep. The moment she entered the door, she greeted the ”important figures” who were constantly examining her with a bow: ”Disciple Gu Hua, Gu Wei, greets Sect Master and the various Peak Masters!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a force that was neither light nor heavy made her stand up steadily. ”You've just recovered from your illness. Be careful.”
Gu Hua looked towards the direction of the voice. The Sect Leader's smiling appearance surprised her. She didn't feel flattered at all. She politely returned the greeting. ”Many thanks, Sect Leader.”
The Sect Leader didn't say anything and just nodded his head. His gaze shifted to a spot not too far away, as if there was something there that attracted his attention. Gu Hua followed his gaze and found a pair of black and clear eyes.
The owner of those eyes was a man she had never seen before, but she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with him. It was as if she had seen a scene somewhere and she had also seen such a peerless person.
The man wore white clothes, Mu Jin's painting, and his black hair fell onto his shoulders. His face was as white as a painting, his features were beautiful, he had a pair of beautiful eyes, he had a light, tender lips, and his expression was one of helplessness.
Yu Qingzhu could not seem to bear with him anymore as she coughed lightly. In that instant, Gu Hua Wei woke up and politely bowed to the man in white, ”Disciple greets Master.”
No matter who this man was, as long as he appeared here with these people, his status would definitely not be low, so he had to be polite.
