That Huo Lian should be on the verge of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage soon.
Gu muttered to himself, thinking that the somewhat cold Ice Beauty really must be as talented as Chen Minghua said, and she probably wouldn't be one to shy away from challenges. One could tell from her surging fire attribute spiritual energy that she was indeed showing signs of a breakthrough.
"Have you seen enough? Please put away your dog eyes."
Chen Minghua was sweating profusely. Of course, those words weren't directed at him and Gu, but he doubted that Gu, who had just entered the academy for only two days, could compete with the leader of that generation. Just now, Gu had said that the guy was about to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Before Chen Minghua could retract his gaze, he saw Gu actually take his meal and place it directly on Huo Lian's table, as if they were already quite familiar with each other.
How could the girl not notice? Surely everyone present had seen Buqi every day. Gu Xiao remarked, which only poked at Huo Lian's annoyance; it was quite bothersome to be surrounded by people wherever she went.
That guy was doomed. Not only did he dare to make a move, but he also had the audacity to tease Huo Lian. Did he not see those brothers and sisters who had been beaten by Huo Lian begging for mercy?
Huo Lian kicked out at Gu's face, but instead of the expected crisp sound, there was a dull thud. Even Huo Lian was surprised. She could clearly feel that she hadn't hit Gu's face; it felt more like slapping a door. That guy must be something else, Huo Lian thought as she scrutinized the seemingly reckless fellow before her.
Wasn't that new arrival a bit bold? Bu Luo must have angered him; I’ll enjoy the show later.
No way! I can't let this go unpunished. Bu Luo, I’ve already dealt with him; why didn’t you let me hit him? Gu Xiao picked up a bowl from the table and started eating heartily, even taking a few bites from Huo Lian's plate.
Seeing Gu's actions made Chen Minghua want to die. He had just let someone slap him; wasn't that enough? Now he even dared to reach into someone else's plate. Was he really looking for trouble? If he had known this would happen, even if it killed him, he wouldn’t have mentioned anything about Huo Lian. That guy now seemed completely unconcerned about beauty or danger.
Trust me, I'm doomed.
Huo Lian smiled, then set down the chopsticks and bowl from his left leg, walking towards the door of Steamed in the Hall. Just before leaving, he threw a harsh remark that sent a chill down the spines of those who heard it.
Watching Huo Lian leave, Gu squinted his eyes and smiled happily, finishing the meal in front of him without a hint of worry.
That guy just got into trouble at the library this afternoon and now he’s come to Steamed in the Hall to tease Huo Lian. I wonder if he’s living too long.
I thought about when those people from the library would come looking for him. Gu set down his chopsticks and headed for the door, planning to return to his residence. Since he was back, there was no need to trouble Chen.
Everyone knew that Chen Minghua was an old man; it wasn’t surprising who he walked with. Right now, those people were probably mourning for Chen Minghua, wondering why he had to associate with such a reckless guy. Now that trouble had arisen, he would likely have to apologize to them again.
But Chen Minghua was deep in thought about what Gu had just said. Based on past experiences, it was common for disciples from the Outer Court to have something taken or even be killed by those people. The Elders of the Outer Court were somewhat aware of this; they would only intervene if things got out of hand. If someone ended up dead, would the Law Enforcement Hall conduct a thorough investigation?
So Gu knew those people would move against him tomorrow night. He had certainly provoked Huo Lian, the Ice Beauty who wouldn’t let revenge wait until morning. At that time, no one would dare to cause trouble openly unless Huo Lian happened to run into those senior brothers.
Lost in thought, Chen Minghua unconsciously set down his chopsticks. Hadn’t he just told Gu about Huo Lian’s identity? With just a few simple words, Gu had managed to calculate Huo Lian’s position and resolve his own crisis. Was that really something he thought of on the spot? If so, that new junior brother was quite formidable.
Gu leisurely returned to his residence, enjoying the scenery of the Cracked Screen Mountains while sensing if anyone was secretly observing him.
There was indeed someone stealthily following him. Gu Xin realized that from the moment he returned home, there would be people rushing toward his place. It wasn’t just one person trailing behind him; there was also a woman—most likely Huo Lian.
If those people wanted to teach him a lesson, they should be prepared for it, Gu thought as he returned home but didn’t go inside. Instead, he stayed in the courtyard reading under the fading evening light.
The Pure Light Sutra given by Liu Shizu was a cultivation method Gu decided to practice. Of course, he wouldn’t follow it blindly without considering its flaws; however, he wasn’t sure if there were hidden dangers in this cultivation book either. He intended to use it as a reference. With his Light Dao Foundation, Gu could naturally comprehend a cultivation method suited for himself within the Dao Foundation and find what worked best for him.
