"Junior Brother, you were amazing just now!"
After causing a stir, Gu Shenpang found that no one dared to approach him. Meanwhile, Yoyo, quietly sipping her drink, suddenly looked up at the girl who had just arrived.
"Yoyo, Yoyo."
Seeing Yoyo's expression, Gu Xiao smiled and waved his leg, signaling Yoyo to be quiet. Even Yoyo felt it; how could Gu not notice the girl standing beside him? It was none other than Light Daoist.
"Oh, don't you think that's a bit cruel?" Gu retorted, handing over a cup of wine as if he were just casually chatting with someone after being isolated.
Those people were probably just afraid of Junior Brother's temper. That said, it really was quite bloody.
The girl fell silent. Although she appeared quite ordinary—lacking big, beautiful eyes or delicate lips—her features were well-defined. She looked rather charming in her own way. Compared to the many beauties in the academy, this girl could honestly be described as not ugly.
"Tch," Gu took a sip of his drink. "I thought I wasn't scary."
"Terrified," Bu Luo thought Junior Brother was going a bit too far. The girl showed no intention of helping Gu quiet down.
"So you think they did something wrong? He believes he has already done enough to satisfy that guy."
Gu's face broke into a strange smile; he could charm many infatuated girls with that look. Bu Luo thought the girl in front of him was indeed charming.
Though she said that, Junior Brother had acted; Zhang Han and the others hadn't done anything either. People would only see what was on the surface, and for them, that would be enough, wouldn't it?
Seeing the girl’s sincere smile, Gu found her quite interesting—not like those he had encountered before. Unlike Gan Yuan, Fu Xiaohai, or Mu Qinglong, who all had their own pride, this girl seemed genuinely concerned about their perspective.
"What’s your name, Senior Sister?"
The girl widened her eyes in surprise. Although she wasn't as tall as some other girls, her single eyelids couldn't compare to the double-lidded girls' larger eyes. "Xiazhi," she replied.
"Xiazhi? That sounds like a girl's name. Who is my master?" Gu continued to ask as if he genuinely wanted to make a sincere friend.
In the Forbidden Library, Feng Changlao and Feng Zhengbin were deep in conversation.
"It's been over four months. I haven't had the chance to participate in the Outer Sect Demonstration. I wonder how strong the competition is?"
"You can't compare yourself to Senior Brother. He probably won't stay there for more than a year."
"I'm still in my first year."
"Well, every year at the academy has its own talented students, just like Junior Brother. I wonder what this year's Outer Sect Demonstration will be like. The competition for the True Disciple spots is always intense. Since it's a tournament, making friends in the Outer Court is quite important."
"I see. Bu Luo believes that strength is everything."
"Junior Brother's strength is evident to everyone. If you join their Harmony Society, you'll meet many interesting people."
"Harmony Society? That's a new term for me. It sounds like a small group formed spontaneously, similar to Mok Ming Academy. I wonder what kind of people are involved. Will it be a gathering place for Light Daoists? That could be an opportunity to discover many things."
"What exactly is the Harmony Society?" Xiazhi feigned confusion.
"It's just a place where everyone hangs out together. Anyway, that's how I understand it. There are many organizations within the academy, like the Law Enforcement Hall and Law Association, which everyone knows about—lots of small groups. Bu Luo's Harmony Society has many interesting people; he finds it quite fun."
"I see. Then let's go check it out," she said, sounding somewhat reluctant.
"What's with that unwilling expression? You actually want to go, don't you?"
"Not at all!"
"Come on, Junior Brother wouldn't have acted like that earlier if he didn't want to."
Gu looked at Xiazhi, whose small eyes were already squinting into crescent shapes, and it was hard to tell if they were even open. The smile on her face radiated warmth like sunshine, but at that moment, Gu felt a chill. Did that guy notice? Gu Xin pondered.
The earlier antics were meant to provoke a reaction, to isolate himself while showcasing his strength. The Light Path would not miss such a good opportunity in the academy. A powerful yet unassuming person could easily blend into their ranks, and perhaps he could truly be accepted as a disciple of the Light Path.
As expected, a Light Daoist approached him, but did they see through his facade? He wasn't sure if he would truly be accepted; perhaps they needed to observe him further.
The sunlight was a bit blinding.
Initially, a ray of sunlight brushed past Xiazhi's shoulder and illuminated Gu's face. The afterglow of the sunset outlined her features clearly while bathing him in sacred light, obscuring his own visage.
I hope the sunlight isn't always so blinding, Xiazhi mused as she walked away into the distance. Don't forget to come back and find me.
Hey, Xuan Shidi, how can I let those two Buqi sneak off to play with my senior sister without me?
No way, no way! That's just lacking brotherly love.
Really, it's disheartening.
After Xiazhi left, Wang Junbao and Chen Si hurried over to gossip about her departure. Gu Xian paid no attention to the two of them and continued drinking, leaving them acting like clowns and causing the other brothers nearby to chuckle quietly.
