After noticing Ji Ren's strange expression, Gu Sheng hurriedly put away the "Yuan".

If Ji Ren suddenly attacked me at this moment, it would be really bad.

You know, old lady Ji Hui has a lot of prejudices against me.

Then her servants are not much stronger.

"Recovered so quickly?"

Ji Ren sneered with a slight curl of his lips.

"No... not yet. I need to recover slowly."

Gu Sheng replied casually.

"Gu Sheng, you seem to be getting better."

At this time, Ji Ziyue suddenly came to Gu Sheng and Ji Ren.

"Fortunately."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Miss Ziyue, how is your health?"

Ji Ren's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"It's okay, old housekeeper, thank you for caring about me."

Ji Ziyue smiled and nodded.

"You're welcome. Caring about the young lady is what we servants should do."

Jiren nodded.

Suddenly, a servant ran over in a panic.

"Miss Ziyue, the ancestor invites you."

The servant bowed and said.

"Please? What's going on?"

Ji Ziyue asked with a slight frown.

"Miss Ziyue, it's Master Hua Yunfei from Taixuan Sect who wants to see you."

The servant's voice was a little nervous.

"What? Hua Yunfei?"

Ji Ziyue was stunned.

She turned her head to look at Gu Sheng, she didn't expect Hua Yunfei to follow her here.

Hua Yunfei of Taixuan Sect is a well-known name in the cultivation world.

Moreover, the Taixuan Gate is nearly ten thousand miles away from here. What is he doing here?
"I see."

Ji Ziyue responded calmly, then turned to Gu Sheng and said, "Let's go take a look."

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded, and the three of them came to the living room together.

As soon as he stepped into the living room, Ji Ren saw Hua Yunfei chatting and laughing with the ancestor Ji Hui.

The atmosphere between the two of them seemed harmonious and natural, like a close relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Hua Yunfei's close attitude towards ancestor Ji Hui was in stark contrast to the cold treatment he had received before.

Ji Ziyue's face also turned a little cold, but she still had to give the gift.

Then, she stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the ancestor Ji Hui.

"Ancestor, do you have something to ask me?"

Ji Ziyue's attitude was a little cold.

Patriarch Ji Hui smiled and nodded, "Zi Yue, this is Young Master Hua Yunfei, he came to visit you specially."

Ji Ziyue turned to Hua Yunfei with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Hua Yunfei, why are you here?"

Hua Yunfei stood up with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ms. Ziyue, I heard that you were besieged by the Peacock King and were injured, so I came to see you."

Hua Yunfei said with a faint smile.

Ji Ziyue frowned slightly and did not believe what Hua Yunfei said.

"Hua Yunfei, I know my own body well, and I don't need you to worry about it."

"Xiao Ziyue, how can you talk like that?"

Patriarch Ji Hui was immediately displeased and spoke in a reminder tone.

"Ancestor, I'm not familiar with him."

Ji Ziyue pouted and started to throw a tantrum.

"Ha ha……"

The old ancestor laughed heartily: "Xiao Ziyue, you don't know that Yun Fei is somewhat related to my mother's family. According to seniority, you should call him cousin."

"What? Cousin?"

Ji Ziyue widened her eyes and looked at Hua Yunfei.

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng standing aside was extremely embarrassed.

It turns out that they are a big family and I am the only outsider.

If there really is a rat hole now, I would want to dive into it.

"If he and I are related in this way, then he and my brother Haoyue are also cousins. Then why are the two of them competing with each other? Moreover, he even killed me..."

Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at Hua Yunfei. It was obvious that he didn't care about this cousin he just found out about.

"You don't know this. This is called sparring. Do you understand? Only in this way can our Ji family and Taixuan Sect have a deeper exchange and a more solid relationship."

Elder Ji Hui's tone became even more severe, as if he was educating Ji Ziyue.

But Ji Ziyue was not one to admit defeat, so he simply couldn't listen to the ancestor's words.

On the other hand, Hua Yunfei still had a smile on his face, and seemed not to care about Ji Ziyue's coldness.

"Sister Ziyue, you and I are both disciples of Taixuan Sect, and it is my responsibility to care about you."

Hua Yunfei said with a smile.

Gu Sheng stood aside and could clearly feel Ji Ziyue's hostility towards Hua Yunfei.

But due to the presence of the ancestor, Ji Ziyue did not turn hostile to him in person.

"Hua Yunfei, I appreciate your kindness. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Ji Ziyue's tone was still cold.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Hua Yunfei's eyes. "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Miss Ziyue, I wish you a speedy recovery."

After saying that, Hua Yunfei bowed to Patriarch Ji Hui, then turned and left the living room.

Ji Ziyue looked at his back, eyes full of disdain.

"Xiao Ziyue, Master Hua Yunfei also has good intentions."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Patriarch Ji Hui's voice.

"Ancestor, I know."

Ji Ziyue nodded, "But I would rather he not interfere in my affairs."

"Hey……"

Ancestor Ji Hui sighed, "Okay, Xiao Ziyue, you decide for yourself, but I order you to send him off."

"I...okay."

Ji Ziyue responded, and after looking at Gu Sheng, she said, "Gu Sheng, wait for me, I'll be back soon."

"Ah."

Gu Sheng responded.

At this time, the only three people left in the living room were Gu Sheng, Elder Ji Hui and housekeeper Ji Ren.

Gu Sheng was still looking at Ji Ziyue's departing figure when Patriarch Ji Hui suddenly spoke up, "Gu Sheng, did you get the 'Yuan'?"

"Got."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"How does it feel?"

The ancestor continued to ask.

"Very good. The injuries on my body have been mostly repaired by 'Yuan'."

Gu Sheng said with a little gratitude in his heart.

"Ah, very good."

The old ancestor nodded, took a look outside and continued, "Zi Yue is a rather willful child. There are many things I don't want to talk about in person. Now that you have received the reward from the Ji family, isn't it time to leave?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, it seemed that the old woman was waiting for him here.

But then again, Gu Sheng didn't want to come to the Ji family at all.

Especially the atmosphere here, which gives people a depressing feeling.

It was as if old lady Ji Hui was a wealthy landlord who controlled the life and death of others.

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, ancestor, I am just about to leave."

"please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ren on the side made a "please" gesture.

Gu Sheng walked briskly through the living room and headed straight for the front door.

The sunlight shines on Gu Sheng's face, bringing a touch of warmth.

As soon as he reached the gate, he heard a clear voice from the side. "Gu Sheng, where are you going?"

Ji Ziyue's voice contained a hint of urgency.

After coming to Gu Sheng's side, he asked in surprise: "Butler, what is Gu Sheng doing?"

"I'll send him away."

Jiren replied.

"Leave? Why?"

Ji Ziyue asked again.

Gu Sheng turned around, looked at Ji Ziyue and smiled slightly.

"Ziyue, I have to go."

Ji Ziyue frowned and grabbed his arm, saying with reluctance: "Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you rest for a few more days at the Ji family?"

"No, I can't go against the old ancestor's wishes."

Gu Sheng shook his head slightly and said.

"Zi Yue, this is the decision of the ancestor, we must abide by it."

Ji Ren interrupted, his tone sounding apologetic, but his attitude was not.

It felt like Gu Sheng was a thorn in their eyes by staying here.

"Forehead……"

Ji Ziyue felt helpless.

After all, it was the ancestor who spoke, and it would be difficult for me to disobey him.

Then she let go of Gu Sheng's arm, pulled Gu Sheng and said, "Come, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Gu Sheng was a little confused.

Then Ji Ziyue pulled Gu Sheng aside.

After making sure that she was at a certain distance from Ji Ren, Ji Ziyue took out a crystal clear stone from her arms and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"This is the seal-removing stone, a Ji family gem. It can remove the aura from you and make you safer on your journey."

Ji Ziyue's voice was low, afraid that Ji Ren would hear it.

"Isn't this not good?"

Gu Sheng intended to refuse, after all, this was the Ji family's treasure.

Now Ji Ziyue gave this to me secretly. If it were discovered, it would be difficult to explain.

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, no one will know. Take it quickly, or you'll have more trouble on the road."

Ji Ziyue frowned slightly and pretended to be angry.

Gu Sheng thought about it and agreed.

Along the way, many people were chasing them.

Now that Ji Ziyue is protected by the Ji family, there is naturally no danger for her.

And if I go out, I will definitely become the focus.

If you have a stone to remove seals, it can be a good aid.

"Okay, thank you."

Gu Sheng took the stone and felt a hint of warmth coming from it.

He knew that this was Ji Ziyue's intention, and it would be inhumane to refuse now.

"If it weren't for the old ancestor's order, I wouldn't let you go, but... hey..."

Ji Ziyue said this and sighed heavily.

"It's okay. It's time for me to leave. I can't stay in the Ji family forever, otherwise I will really become a live-in son-in-law, hehehe..."

Gu Sheng said with a deliberate smile.

"It's already this time, and you're still talking nonsense."

Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng and pinched his arm.

When she did this action in the past, she would just pinch it.

But at this time, Gu Sheng was ready to leave, and his hand that was about to pinch her did not use much force after all.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Ji Ziyue let go of her hand and gently patted Gu Sheng's shoulder.

"Thank you, Ziyue."

Gu Sheng nodded.

Ji Ziyue didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Sheng quietly.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Then, Gu Sheng turned around and walked towards the door again.

He didn't look back, just raised his arm and waved, then disappeared out the door.

Ji Ziyue looked at the direction where Gu Sheng left, standing there in a daze.

"Miss Ziyue, let's go."

Jiren urged.

"Ah."

Ji Ziyue nodded, and then went back with Ji Ren.

After leaving, Gu Sheng looked back from time to time to make sure no one was following him.

After observing for about dozens of miles and making sure there was no one around, Gu Sheng finally relaxed.

Gu Sheng ran quickly through the mountains and found a hidden cave.

After entering the cave, there are some weeds inside.

Judging from the scene in front of us, this should be the den of a wild wolf or a brown bear.

But for some unknown reason, it has been abandoned for a long time.

Gu Sheng packed up simply and prepared to recover his strength here.

After everything was ready, he took out the "yuan" he got from the Ji family from his arms.

This is a "Yuan" that contains powerful energy. Its power is unfathomable, enough to allow him to recover from his old injuries in a short period of time.

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, placed the "Yuan" in the palm of his hand, and began to regulate his breathing.

As the divine power surges, the true qi in the body slowly flows and merges with the power in the "Yuan".

Gradually, he felt warm currents flowing through his body.

At the same time, the pain in the old injury gradually subsided until it disappeared.

The power of this "Yuan" was indeed extraordinary. Within half a day, Gu Sheng felt that his condition had returned to normal, and was even stronger than before.

Gu Sheng stretched his body and looked at the "Yuan" in front of him with joy.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, he suddenly sensed a weak fluctuation of divine power.

This kind of divine power fluctuation is not ordinary, it may be some kind of powerful existence.

Gu Sheng immediately became alert.

At this moment, the first family he wanted to attack was the Ji family.

Then, he quickly put away the "Yuan" and walked out of the cave carefully.

After some investigation, nothing abnormal was found.

"Did I make a mistake? This shouldn't be the case."

Gu Sheng frowned and became a little suspicious.

But even so, we cannot take it lightly.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng took out a seal-removing stone from his arms.

This was a magical stone that Ji Ziyue gave to me specially before I left the Ji family. To be honest, it is the stone that can erase tracking marks.

Then, Gu Sheng placed the seal-removing stone on his palm and rubbed it gently.

"Whoosh!"

A ray of light flashed, and the vague tracking mark on his body was completely erased.

"It's really good."

Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Sheng didn't stay for long. After erasing the mark, he quickly left the cave.

After coming outside, Gu Sheng's figure disappeared outside the cave as quickly as a flash of lightning.

However, even though he was extremely fast, Gu Sheng still felt a faint aura following him.

This is a bad feeling, like being half-surveilled.

A sense of uneasiness arose in Gu Sheng's heart.

As far as he was concerned, the owner of this aura was definitely not ordinary, so he had to find a way to escape the pursuit as soon as possible.

Gu Sheng shuttled through the mountains and forests, his speed getting faster and faster.

The pursuit of the aura is always with me.

For several days, Gu Sheng was always feeling uneasy.

When Gu Sheng was about a thousand miles away from the Ji family, he could still feel it.

Gu Sheng stopped, feeling that this was not a solution.

Instead of being passive, it is better to be proactive.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng left the lush forest as a cover and headed straight for a barren mountain.

There was very little vegetation on that barren mountain, only rocks and quicksand.

Here, if you want to hide, you have to turn into a stone. (End of this chapter)
