"Ok?"

The elder who was waiting outside twitched his ears slightly and suddenly asked, "What sound? Did you hear it?"

Upon hearing this, several other elders of Xuanming Sect also looked over with confused eyes.

"What is that sound?"

The fourth elder was walking around nearby. He narrowed his eyes and took a few steps towards this side, still mumbling, "Why haven't you come out yet? I said that the way Taiyi Sect teaches its disciples is not feasible..."

He had just said half of his words when he happened to walk to the middle position, and the barrier in front of him that was originally used to block them suddenly disappeared.

"???"

Eh?

The next second, a heart-wrenching sound was heard in the air.

The voice came from far away and got closer. The elders felt more and more familiar with it.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Suddenly, two unidentified objects rushed out from nowhere in front of him and fell down directly.

The Fourth Elder was completely unprepared. His hands failed to keep up with his brain when the attack suddenly struck him, and his old face turned pale with fright.

He turned around and was about to slap the two unknown creatures that attacked the elders to death.

The Great Elder: "Wait!"

He seemed to know whose voice it was?

But he was still a step too slow. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he only had time to pick one out.

"boom--"

"Ow!"

The sounds of impact and screams rang out one after another.

Everyone took a closer look.

They didn't expect that it was the treasure they had been longing for.

Li Tingyun fell directly from above and happened to hit the Fourth Elder who had just walked over. At the critical moment, the defensive talisman on his chest shattered and blocked the "Iron Fist of Love" from the elder.

This saved him from the tragedy of being killed instantly by his own elders as soon as he showed his head.

The two of them tumbled down the stairs from the platform.

The poor Fourth Elder was badly beaten by his own disciple. He became the scapegoat when he fell and was completely dizzy.

"Listen to the clouds?"

All the elders were stunned.

Such a great disciple came from the sky, but he actually knocked his own elder unconscious.

Where the hell can I go to seek justice?

Great Elder: "?"

He couldn't help but let out a puzzled "hmm" through his nose, with the tail end of the sound rising high.

If the one rolling down the stairs was Li Tingyun, then what was the thing he was holding in his hand?

He looked down and met a pair of familiar and innocent big eyes.

Gu Xia was held firmly by his collar, thus avoiding the unfortunate scene of rolling down the stairs with Li Tingyun. Seeing the elder looking down, she tilted her head and blinked at him, "Hi~"

Thank you, Great Elder, for saving her life.

Fortunately, she was the only one who was almost killed in the fall.

Great Elder: "..."

I didn't dare open my eyes, hoping it was just his hallucination.

Damn it, he didn’t get his own disciple but ended up picking out Gu Xia.

He let go of the person and said, "Are you okay?"

Gu Xia shook his head.

She is fine, but someone else must be in trouble now.

Li Tingyun felt his head buzzing, and before he could even see everything around him, he could only utter a faint sound:

"Gu Xia, I hate you."

"..."

Gu Xia looked away feeling a little guilty.

Well, she didn't expect that the path she stepped out of the door would be different from the path they came in.

The two of them rushed out almost at the same time, without even a chance to adjust their posture. Gu Xia also fell hard, but she was luckier than the other party. The moment she fell out, the great elder caught her in his hand with quick eyes and hands.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that the one who suffers the most is not Li Tingyun, but the fourth elder who is being used as a scapegoat.

Gu Xia touched the tip of his nose and said, "I'm sorry, if I say this was just an accident, would you believe me?"

The elders: "..."

Do you think we should believe it?

So this Gu Xia is really poisonous.

Several people looked at the fourth elder who rolled down the stairs, their expressions somewhat subtle.

Before, he was the only one who disliked Gu Xia the most.

hiss.

Is this Gu Xia’s revenge?

*

"Be bold Gu Xia!"

Now that everyone had come out, the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief and took the two away from here.

It was not until this moment that the Fourth Elder finally came to his senses. After realizing what had just happened, his face turned frighteningly dark, and the anger in his voice could not be suppressed.

Grass.

The two little devils suddenly fell down and almost killed him on the spot.

Do they know how much psychological trauma their behavior has caused to an elder?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The Fourth Elder's nose seemed to be spitting fire when he spoke. The other elders stood aside and did not interrupt. After all, they had lost face in public, so it was normal to let the other party vent for a while.

Besides, these two little brats were too brave this time. If they are not scolded properly, they might really go to hell in the future.

Gu Xia's hair was about to stand up because of the oncoming angry scolding.

She apologized graciously, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Before coming out, Gu Xia had already guessed the elders' reactions, but there was a small accident at the last minute. She didn't expect that the two of them almost caused problems for the elders before they even started to settle the accounts.

Now, one problem has not yet been solved and another one has been added.

Seeing that Li Tingyun didn't react, as if his brain had been knocked out by the fall just now, she pinched him from behind without saying a word.

hiss.

Li Tingyun was startled, and immediately spoke up, apologizing to the Fourth Elder from the bottom of his heart, "I'm sorry, Fourth Elder, I shouldn't have hit you just now."

The boy's face was full of sincerity and guilt.

"..." After hearing this, Gu Xia just wanted to roll her eyes at him. Could this guy really have lost his mind? What does it mean to bring up something that is not relevant? This is it.

As expected, the Fourth Elder’s face froze after hearing this.

Where has this kid's usual good sense gone?

The humiliating memories that he had managed to suppress attacked him again.

"You!" He took another deep breath and kept reminding himself in his mind that this was his own disciple, his own child, and he couldn't argue with him.

In the end, they had to shift their target and direct their anger towards the culprit.

"Gu Xia!"

Gu Xia, who was still watching the fun, was caught off guard, "Ah?"

Is it her again?

"How dare you violate the sect's rules and enter the top floor of the library without permission, and you also hid it from all the elders." The fourth elder listed the bad things they had done one by one, and he became more and more angry. "As disciples, do you still take the elders seriously?"

This guy is such a rebellious son.

In all his years of working in the industry, the Fourth Elder has never seen a disciple who was more rebellious than her.

It really opened my eyes.

The two stood side by side, with their heads down, listening to the scolding coming from above.

Li Tingyun quietly reminded Gu Xia without making any noise.
