The voice of the founder of Xuanming Sect was very low and faint, coupled with the cold wind blowing faintly behind them at this moment.

"..."

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

For a moment, Gu Xia and Li Tingyun's hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

They stiffened their bodies and turned around little by little, only to be confronted with a face that suddenly enlarged.

The two of them got furious and almost shouted out loud.

"I'll wipe it, I'll wipe it."

There really is a ghost.

Li Tingyun's scalp tingled, and he blurted out, "Hurry up and stab him to death with your sword, Gu Xia."

"Nonsense, you don't even need to say that."

Gu Xia didn't even think about it, and used his spiritual energy to suddenly swung out with a sword.

The sound of sharp swords rang in the air.

"Hey, hey, don't do it."

Unexpectedly, the other party waved his sleeves and easily intercepted her sword energy. He leaned back slightly and said with a smile, "We are all one family."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and was slightly stunned.

The two little ghosts wished they were eight hundred meters away from him, one holding a sword while the other was making hand gestures.

They both looked at him warily.

There was a row of talismans spinning in the air, and it looked like they would swarm towards him if anything went wrong.

Xuanming Sect's ancestor: "..."

OK OK.

Youth has no price, and the critical hit is happening right now.

He suddenly became happy.

These little ghosts from the five sects seem quite interesting now.

However, from the perspective of Gu Xia and Li Tingyun on the other side, a guy suddenly rushed out, and they didn't know whether he was a human or a ghost, and stared at them up and down for a few seconds.

Suddenly he grinned.

He just smiled so sweetly.

Damn, this is even more terrifying, right?

Gu Xia held the sword and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell whether it is a human or a ghost?"

Li Tingyun was speechless, but also whispered back, "How should I know that?"

He hasn't seen a ghost.

It’s more like the ghost cultivator type.

Although a little crazy, he can still be considered half a human being.

Well, this sounds somewhat reasonable.

"So what do you say? Fight or flight?"

"…Good question, but can we defeat them?"

"..."

Muttering and chattering.

The two of them put their heads together cautiously, and the Xuanming Sect's founder opposite them couldn't help but laugh slightly at their appearance.

These two kids are so interesting.

Having been bored for so many years, he rarely felt like teasing them, so he deliberately approached them before the two of them reached a consensus.

"If you want to leave here, only one of you can go, and the other has to stay with me."

Gu Xia, Li Tingyun: "?"

He looked at the two of them with a smile, "How is it? Have you decided what to do?"

Based on his understanding of his disciples, it was normal for them to strongly reject the choice he offered at this time.

However, Gu Xia and Li Tingyun just looked at each other, and then without hesitation, they both pointed at each other.

"Let him stay."

"She stays here."

The Grandmaster's smile slowly froze.

ha?

He began to think calmly about life.

Something seems not quite right.

So the actions you two took earlier weren't just acting?

He thought it was just to relax the thing's vigilance.

As it turns out now, the relationship between you two is really hard to describe.

It’s hard to say, but someone rushed in to save someone with great effort.

Well... with that kind of reaction just now, the Grandmaster said it was really hard to convince himself against his conscience.

He can no longer keep up with the current direct disciple's train of thought.

*

But what’s even more outrageous is yet to come.

Gu Xia tried to brainwash Li Tingyun, "This is your sect. After all, it is your territory. I am an outsider and I will not compete with you for this honor. I will withdraw first."

Li Tingyun: "..."

Thank you so much.

I think of him at this time.

It's an honor. Would you like to have this honor?

Li Tingyun said in a cold voice, "Let's not do it."

"I've already said this is our sect. What if you get lost? So you should stay here with this senior. I'll go out and find the elders to come and rescue you."

Gu Xia couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Okay, okay, you didn’t forget to roll her up at this time, right?

You kid just talk, and you even use a respectful title.

The two looked at each other hypocritically, with a fake smile on their lips.

The plastic friendship between each other cannot be stopped.

"..."

The founder of Xuanming Sect couldn't stop twitching at the corners of his mouth, and his stomach hurt because of their laughter.

These two people together have eight hundred ideas.

She can still smile so brightly.

He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Now the criteria for the five sects to recruit disciples has been added with a new one: who is more shameless?

This wave is really eye-opening.

On the surface, Gu Xia seemed to be fooling Li Tingyun again, but her eyes glanced at the other person inadvertently. After aiming at the right moment, she raised her sword and slashed it diagonally, with the wind from the sword passing towards the throat.

She wanted to test whether the other person was a human or a ghost.

Li Tingyun was stunned at first, but his experience of fighting side by side many times made him understand Gu Xia's intention instantly. He quickly followed suit, with spiritual energy jumping at his fingertips, and one complicated spell after another took shape almost instantly in the blink of an eye.

The founder of Xuanming Sect raised his eyebrows slightly.

Oops.

Although these two disciples quarreled with each other, their cooperation was really impeccable.

He just thought it was interesting and teased the two of them, he didn't really intend to fight with the two juniors. Looking at the oncoming attack, he stepped back slightly.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you two anymore."

He calmly avoided the attacks of the two people, turned around and smiled, "I'm not a ghost. I can stay on the top floor of the library. Can't you guess who I am?"

Gu Xia clicked his tongue, "I don't care who you are."

She doesn't know him anyway.

On the contrary, Li Tingyun, who had been frowning and observing the other party after hearing this, seemed to remember something, looked at him cautiously a few more times, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his expression.

He tugged at Gu Xia's sleeve and said with some uncertainty in his tone, "He doesn't seem to be talking nonsense, Gu Xia. I always feel that he looks a little familiar..."

After trying hard to recall for a long while, Li Tingyun suddenly raised his head, his eyes fell straight on the other person's face, his eyes widened uncontrollably, and he spoke in surprise.

"You are... the Grandmaster?"

Gu Xia: "What?"

She turned her head in surprise and took another look, "Are you serious?"

Who? The founder of Xuanming Sect?

Did she hear it correctly?

Li Tingyun's expression also became complicated.

"It should be right."

He explained to her in a low voice, "Master once showed me the portrait that our ancestor left behind before he ascended to heaven. I just remembered it too. He does look somewhat similar to this person."

"..."

This is really a huge mistake.

……

Li Tingyun shouldn't lie.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xia immediately retracted his sword and pointed it at the master's rebellious behavior.

Although he is not the ancestor of our family, he is still a senior who is a real big shot.

Gu Xia's face was full of obedience, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

"You didn't recognize your sect's founder until now?"

What a traitor.

They had analyzed the matter fiercely like tigers, but actually mistook the dignified ancestor for a ghost and almost beat him up.

"What?" Li Tingyun was about to die unjustly. "How would I know? His face is very different from the portrait left behind, okay?"

The two of them looked at the Xuanming Sect's founder who was still smiling opposite them.

To be honest, it was only now that they had time to look at each other carefully.

Although it was very likely the legendary ancestor of Xuanming Sect who had already ascended to heaven, his face was unexpectedly young.

He looks like a young man, not much older than the eldest senior brother, and seems to be very approachable and not arrogant.

Apart from anything else, he was very different from the image that Gu Xia had in mind of his senior.

But this did not stop her from complaining about Li Tingyun, "What use are you?" He is an idiot disciple who even her own ancestor cannot recognize.

"what?"

Li Tingyun gnashed his teeth and reminded her, "Don't forget that you were the first one to say that the ancestor was a ghost."

If we really talk about it, the two of them are equally matched, so no one should blame the other.

Come on, hurt each other.

Gu Xia gave him a 'kind' smile.

It is obvious that there is no love between the two, only various grudges.

"how is everything?"

The founder of Xuanming Sect saw all the eye contact and whispers between the two.

The more he read, the more interesting it became. He said with great interest, "You can say whatever you want to say."

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Xia immediately abandoned Li Tingyun. The girl bowed slightly and tilted her head with an innocent look on her face. "Hello, Grandmaster. If I say that those actions just now were not intentional, they were all accidents. Do you believe me?"

You know what, her well-behaved appearance is really deceptive.

If he hadn't watched the whole process in secret, he would probably have been fooled by the kid's innocent look.

However, the founder of Xuanming Sect would naturally not argue with a junior. Besides, part of his intention was to scare these two disciples on purpose.

He smiled and replied, "I believe it."

"..."

Depend on.

Li Tingyun stared at Gu Xia's back with a deathly gaze.

If I remember correctly, this is the ancestor of their sect, right?

Why on earth are you, a guy from Taiyi Sect, so active?

Wouldn't this make him, a genuine descendant of the Xuanming clan, seem stupid?

However, since they had come into contact by misunderstanding, he stepped forward and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his mind.

The answer given by the founder of Xuanming Sect to this was very simple and plain.

"Ah... are you talking about that portrait?" He seemed to recall for a moment, then smiled and said, "That was made to facilitate the management of the sect at the time. If someone is too young, they will always appear to be less intimidating."

Gu Xia understood instantly and added, "This portrait is for reference only."

She understood. When she was in school, weren't the portraits in the books more abstract than each other?

Besides, when one reaches a certain level in cultivation, one’s appearance can basically be maintained as that of one’s youth.

How could a figure like the Five Sects' founders all be portrayed as kindly old grandfathers with big beards?

She is stereotyped.

The Xuanming Sect's Patriarch blinked happily and said, "That's right."

Li Tingyun: "..."

Impressed.

The two of you singing the same tune make him seem like an outsider.

*

They never expected that this would be the reason that led them to almost treat their ancestor as a ghost and beat him up.

Li Tingyun was silent for a moment. No wonder he didn't recognize it at first.

In that situation, Gu Xia kept muttering that there was a ghost in their library. Who the hell could recognize it?

During his silence, Gu Xia suddenly remembered this incident. She silently glanced at the founder of Xuanming Sect, and couldn't help but glance at him again. Finally, she asked sincerely, "Founder, that gaze I just noticed, wasn't it you?"

The founder of Xuanming Sect had already sensed her subtle movements. Just as he was about to answer, he heard the girl's faint voice.

"So you haven't been hiding in the dark, secretly observing our entire experience?"

"..." The founder of Xuanming Sect originally wanted to answer, but the resentment in Gu Xia's words was too obvious, coupled with those eyes that seemed to be condemning.

He hesitated for a rare moment.

amount.

It's even hard to pretend not to see it.

Li Tingyun also turned his head without saying a word. Although the two did not speak, their eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.

——'Are you really going to watch your own sect's disciple being possessed by someone else?'

Especially Li Tingyun.

As the person who suffered the tragedy of possessing another's body, he felt that he was not as excited as when he first met his ancestor.

The whole person felt a little depressed.

Xuanming Sect's ancestor: "..."

He explained, "No, when I was about to take action, you just happened to break in from outside."

Therefore, after making sure that things were still under control, he chose to wait and see what the situation was like, and to see what this disciple was capable of.

Although this kind of assessment-like choice is not a problem in theory, it was suddenly pointed out by Gu Xia, coupled with the resentful looks from the two people.

The Grandmaster inexplicably had the urge to defend himself.

It's strange, it seems like I didn't do anything wrong.

In the end, he could only blame it all on Gu Xia.

This little devil from Taiyi Sect is really poisonous.

Gu Xia could feel that this ancestor was easy to talk to. At least he was very different from the senior in his imagination who always intimidated others as soon as he opened his mouth.

She nodded slowly, "So that's how it is."

Then she turned around and said to the person next to her, "Did you hear that, Li Tingyun?"

"Your ancestor doesn't love you~"

That tone is a little annoying.

Li Tingyun: "..."

Stop talking, stop talking. If you continue, he will really be sad, OK?

The expression on the face of the founder of Xuanming Sect was almost unable to hold back.

That's enough, hey.

This kid is really just looking for trouble in the world.

Can messing with other people's mindsets make her happy?

He could only change the subject to something else.

"I just happen to have a question for you guys. Do you know where this place is?"

"Also, two people dared to break in. Do your elders know about this?"

Gu Xia: "..."

Li Tingyun: "..."

Quiet as a chickenjpg.
