Coughing lightly, Liu Lao Jiu walked over to Tan Siyuan and patted her shoulder, which finally brought her back from her shock.
Tan Siyuan, feeling a bit embarrassed, turned her face away. It wasn't until Gu Ping changed into the academy's long robe that she turned back. However, when she saw Gu Ping again, she was shocked once more. Just moments ago, he had looked like a warrior, and now he had transformed into someone who seemed frail and delicate. The change in his demeanor made it feel as if two completely different people were standing before her.
"Cough, Junior Sister, I hope you're not staring at that foolish boy," Liu Lao Jiu whispered in Tan Siyuan's ear.
Tan Siyuan glanced at Liu Lao Jiu out of the corner of her eye, and after a moment, she realized what he was saying. "What nonsense are you talking about?" she retorted.
"Then why are you staring at him so intently?"
It was indeed incredible; he had just looked like a warrior, and now with a change of clothes, he resembled a scholar. Moreover, she recalled how skilled he was in close combat. When he attacked her yesterday, if her presence hadn't drawn his attention, he wouldn't have been able to hurt her at all. He bore no injuries whatsoever; it made her wonder what set him apart from others.
Liu Lao Jiu waved his hand to interrupt Tan Siyuan's thoughts and led her toward Gu Ping. The two of them walked toward another courtyard while Tan Siyuan remained behind, watching their retreating figures.
She had a feeling that those two must have known each other for a long time; yesterday was clearly not their first meeting.
Liu Lao Jiu brought Gu Ping to a square in their camp. In the center stood a massive stone pillar, starkly bare except for the two characters "Chongxiao" carved into it. The deep gray rock clashed with the blue sky above, and combined with the bluestone tiles on the ground, the Chongxiao pillar appeared strikingly out of place.
Sky Plaza, the usual place for everyone to spar, was where the disciples could practice diligently without the teachers' guidance. Later, they would go there to test their ideas against others. Gu Ping followed Liu Lao Jiu's gaze and saw two Foundation Establishment Stage disciples engaged in a sparring match. One of them executed the Golden Dragon Fist from the No Five Fist Technique, while the other countered with Rao Zhi Rou, creating a dynamic interplay of strength and flexibility. The two were locked in a contest, one powerful and unyielding, the other gentle and adaptable.
Gu Ping shook his head, turning away from the scene. Beside him, Liu Lao Jiu pinched Dongba with his leg and stroked his stubble before calling an end to the sparring, preventing either disciple from claiming victory.
"Is anyone interested in going to the Star Picking Auction? The academy's box can accommodate quite a few people."
Liu Shixiong and Liu Zhangyin expressed their willingness to go.
Gu Ping sighed. It seemed that for such a grand event, one had to make a show of it, even if it was just attending an auction.
He couldn't understand why. The Star Picking Auction occurred once every five years, and during each elder's tenure, they would only get to attend three or four times at most. It made sense to want to make a good impression; after all, it would provide material for boasting later on.
Gu Ping smiled to himself. He didn't think Liu Lao Jiu was merely a braggart; there must be some reasoning behind his actions. Gu Ping had his own plans as well. Since his revival, he had relied on the toughness of the Yin Yang Cloak and fought using kicks against them. Ru Ming often drew attention when out in public; it would be better to seize this opportunity to purchase a decent magical artifact instead of always engaging in close combat with empty hands.
The Pure Light Sutra contained many spells worth studying. Even with the assistance of two Dao Foundation experts, Gu Ping still lacked spells at his disposal. He needed to master some basic five spells for future encounters.
Once Liu Lao Jiu had selected the individuals, a large group set off towards Sky's End Tower. Along the way, no one could fail to recognize the team from Mok Ming Academy, which truly brought Liu Lao Jiu a moment of glory.
