Elder Qian, perhaps you are getting a bit muddled. A group of demon beasts is quite cunning, and how could a human possibly be a spy for them?
But how do I explain the initial scene? It was clear that he must have participated in the battle from years ago in The Book of Radiant Path. If not, he would have been crushed to pieces in such a situation without any means of self-preservation.
Master, he has arrived.
The only young and beautiful elder present had not engaged in the debate with the other elders, but now spoke up to remind the Master that Gu Nianren was here, implying that there might be something important to discuss. The tone was somewhat disrespectful.
In that moment, all the elders fell silent. Except for the Elderess, everyone focused on the Master’s expression. The academy's rules dictated that the Master’s word was final; understanding his attitude would help them determine their own responses.
I recalled the battle from two years ago involving the Light Path Classic and the Five Great Sects.
Seeing that the central figure had spoken, everyone turned their attention to him. Gu Ping recognized this person and bowed respectfully.
Having never seen him in person, he wondered about the Little Monk and his friendship with him. At that time, they were outside Great Jin, where the Little Monk had come seeking to subdue demons. He was unaware of what had just transpired on the battlefield and whether it was real or not. If it were true, he hoped he had indeed saved someone; that would bring him some comfort.
Where did my Fox Spirit come from?
Yoyo had been bullied by wild dogs when he was young, and he saved her, which is why she has always followed him. He spoke as he brought Yoyo out from his embrace, knowing that such a large creature could not be hidden for long; revealing her early would save them from unnecessary chatter.
Why didn’t I rescue him when they captured him and interrogated him in the dungeon?
Upon hearing that question, Gu Ping fell silent. Did he really claim not to know him? That was clearly not true regarding Coco. What could Coco say? That he was afraid? Afraid of being discovered by them if they found out he hadn’t died? That would only expose more. Ultimately, Gu Ping found himself at a loss for how to respond to that question.
Gu Ping was about to speak after a moment of thought, but was stopped by his master.
His master raised a leg to signal Gu Ping not to say anything, then slowly began to speak. He understood that from now on, Gu Ping would be an Outer Sect Disciple of Mok Ming Academy, entitled to all the privileges that came with it. There would be a demonstration in six months; if he succeeded, he would earn the title of True Disciple. "Now go," he said, "and don't worry about the rules. Wang Steward will inform me."
Upon hearing his master's words, all thoughts of persuading him to remove Gu Ping from consideration were silenced. It was a settled matter; no one would dare to contradict his master in the academy, especially not over something of this nature.
Indeed, Gu Ping felt a stirring within him. "I don't deny it," Elderess said as she turned to leave. The discussion he had hoped for seemed to hold little value now; it was better for her to return to her own cave for cultivation.
His master also departed on a cloud, leaving Dongyi and Steward behind. We exchanged glances, unsure of what to say. Wang Steward, however, appeared relaxed as he approached Gu Ping and took him to arrange matters with Jie Donglai.
They arrived at Yun Cui Peak, where the buildings were not constructed on perilous cliffs as Gu Ping had seen before. Instead, they were built on a flat area halfway up the mountain in a style reminiscent of Lu State. The eaves were adorned with strange flying creatures resembling magpies but with only one leg; they might have been the legendary Bi Fang, as the descriptions of Bi Fang in legends were quite vivid.
"Xiao Yi, go fetch an Outer Sect Disciple room plaque; I need a Tian character plaque," Wang Steward instructed an Eastern Person nearby before leading Gu Ping to select a room. The rooms could be chosen freely, and soon after, the door plaques would be delivered for them to engrave their room numbers.
Gu Ping chose a relatively secluded spot with few neighbors, right next to a cliff where he could enjoy beautiful views during moonrise and moonset.
He decided to live there from now on. If anything came up, he could find Dong Linfeng or send Xiao Yi to handle it. He planned to offer some benefits to those Eastern People, like spirit stones; even if they were just Eastern Grade Spirit Stones, they would be happy to run errands for him. He instructed Xiao Yi to help him collect his Outer Sect Disciple attire and mentioned that each month he would receive an Eastern Grade Spirit Stone, ten Qi stones, a gathering spirit talisman, and a mid-grade spiritual sword. He remembered clearly that Yi Dong should keep everything safe and not nag him about it; if anything arose, he could just ask Xiao Yi. After all, Xiao Yi had been there for over ten years and knew much more about Outer Sect Disciple matters than his steward did.
"Thank you, Wang Steward," Gu Ping said as he saw him off at the door. Just then, he ran into Xiao Yi who had come by with some items. Gu Ping invited Xiao Yi inside with him.
