I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 87

Gu Lan felt as if his whole body was burning in fire, and the hands holding Zhaoying were burning hot.

She had a lot of anger that she had no place to vent. Seeing a giant snake not far away rushing left and right, shuttling through the woods but still circling in the same place, she flew over to it, not using any sword skills, but just chopped it with brute force.

Although she was chopping with brute force, it was not without method. The old beggar saw that she was using very familiar moves, so he turned his head to look at Xu Guizhi, "Did you accept her as your disciple? Don't you always refuse to accept disciples? Especially female disciples?"

"..."

Xu Guizhi remembered the time when he first came out, Yue Ye, with his ugly body, wielding the sword in front of Gu Lan... He felt familiar at that time. Uh, it turned out to be his own swordsmanship.

Looking at Gu Lan's not-so-pretty figure, Xu Guizhi felt that she was wasting her talent. Her sword skills, which were as sharp and graceful as a dragon, were simply horrible in her hands.

Seeing that Xu Guizhi ignored him, the old beggar did not pursue the matter. He seemed to be very familiar with this sword technique, and was extremely excited outside the field, almost waving his flag and cheering.

"Meteors turn into sun and moon!"

“A sword brings down frost! Hit, chop it, chop it, yes, yes, yes, yes!”

“The sword that pierces the clouds and breaks the fog! Beautiful! The little girl is now suppressed by the absolute sword formation and can’t exert much strength. You just have to have fun in there, but don’t hit her in the weak spot, lest you kill her in one go. That would not be fun anymore.” The old beggar sat down on the spot as he spoke. He seemed to be thirsty from talking so he took a sip from the broken bowl.

Unexpectedly, the broken bowl was empty. However, when he put the water into his mouth, clear water as sweet as spring water flowed out.

All he could hear was the sound of him gulping down water. Gu Lan's eardrums vibrated. His words were sent into his ears by his true energy, so Gu Lan heard his words clearly and did not kill him. He took Tianmo Guqi as his practice target and tried out all the sword techniques that Xu Guizhi had taught him before.

In the end, the heat in her body subsided, and the demonic energy completely dissipated as the last sword pierced into the seven inches of Tianmo Guqi.

Gu Lan faced the wind, her sweaty hair as black as ink, lying on her rosy, water-washed face. She looked at Tianmo Guqi, who had changed back into a handsome man, lying in a pool of black blood again.

The light in his eyes gradually faded and finally died out. Then, the demon Gu Qi slowly dissipated in the wind like a wisp of smoke.

Seeing this, the old beggar stood up, stretched out his finger and pointed a spot of light on Gu Lan's forehead. In an instant, Gu Lan felt refreshed all over.

Gu Lan walked up to the old beggar with the sword in his arms and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. I was able to eliminate the demon Gu Qi."

The old beggar nodded approvingly and said, "Now that this matter is settled, I will take Xu Guizhi away. Do you have anything to say?"

Gu Lan stood in front of Xu Guizhi. Xu Guizhi lowered his head and looked at Gu Lan, and Gu Lan also looked at Xu Guizhi.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly they both smiled.

Gu Lan said: "Thank you for your advice, senior." After a pause, Gu Lan pulled out the space ring from his hand and continued.

"The sword moves you just described are exactly the same as the ones I practiced. I think you must have seen these sword moves before, and you once taught me under the moonlight, so I guess you created these sword moves. I found the sword manual in this space ring, so it can't be considered stealing. Now you..."

Gu Lan turned to look at the old beggar. It had been such a long time since he asked him what his name was.

Seeing Gu Lan looking at the old beggar, Xu Guizhi answered for him, "Just call him the Talkative Poison Dragon. He is my close friend regardless of age."

"Tsk, you brat! Don't listen to his nonsense. I am one of the four heroes of Lingyun, Weird Hand Poison Eight Dragon. You can call me Poison Tyrant, or Weird Hand Poison Eight. Anyway, I have many nicknames, any one of them will do. It's just a name, why bother about it."

Gu Lan saw that the strange hand Du Balong was staring at Xu Guizhi, which was quite funny and cute, so he chuckled and said, "Hello, Senior Du Balong."

"Oh, haha." The exorcist Du Balong laughed heartily.

He had not been seen for a long time and was now found by Zhaoying. He rushed here at lightning speed. Of course, he was inevitably delayed by new things on the way. He was good at fortune-telling. Although the two of them encountered many dangers, they could always turn danger into safety. Therefore, he was not in a hurry. Only Zhaoying was anxious.

Now seeing the lively and smart little girl standing in front of him with a smile on her face, he felt extremely happy. He thought that he should get out more often and see what the world is like nowadays.

Seeing that the two knew each other, Xu Guizhi turned his eyes to the space ring on Gu Lan's hand. He also felt that this ring was very familiar before, but he never thought that it was his own, so he declined and said, "This ring is quite destined for you, you can keep it."

Of course Gu Lan was hoping Xu Guizhi would say that.

Just now when Gu Lan took out the space ring to return it, she was still quite reluctant to part with it. Now hearing Xu Guizhi say this, she hurriedly put the space ring on her hand again.

Both Xu Guizhi and Du Balong the Monster Hand couldn't help laughing.

After Gu Lan put it away, she saw that they were both staring at her with teasing looks in their eyes. She blushed a little embarrassedly, but she tried to stay calm. She thought of the bits of memory about Xu Guizhi she had seen before and asked, "Have you recovered all your memories?"

Xu Guizhi nodded slightly and then shook his head, "I have forgotten a lot, and I can't remember much now."

"Oh, do you remember Moony?"

"The turtle Moon Shadow?"

"Yes, he is in Qianjimen now, aren't you going to look for him?"

"Not for now."

Gu Lan nodded. It was not possible for the time being, so she had to wait. "Okay, I understand."

"Then let's say goodbye." Gu Lan held the sword and bowed.

Weird Hand Poison Eight Dragons told Gu Lan that he must go find the people from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. Gu Lan nodded, and then he saw Weird Hand Poison Eight Dragons take out a small golden porcelain bottle. The porcelain bottle was golden jade in color, and it shone brightly and looked very beautiful.

Xu Guizhi smiled at Gu Lan, waved his hand, and turned into a puff of smoke, flying into the small porcelain bottle in the hands of the monster hand Du Balong.

The strange hand Du Balong said: "He just likes to meddle in other people's business and likes to show off his ability. He is extremely talented at a young age. He got along well with the younger generations of Qianjimen before. Alas, they are all scattered like meteors now."

"Since Senior Du Ba mentioned the disciples of Qianji Sect, I wonder if you know them and why they died?"

"I don't know. Back then, we, the four Lingyun heroes, were guarding Yuchi Mountain. When we were invaded by foreign barbarians, we went to fight them. As for what happened to them at that time, we don't know. Maybe Xu Guizhi knows something. But he is too weak now. I must take him away. You can ask him when his soul is stable."

Gu Lan nodded and said goodbye to the monster Poison Eight Dragons. Gu Lan then flew towards the Shenyin Sect on his sword, but he saw flashes of swords on the way and didn't know who was fighting in the forest.
