I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Everyone was very excited about going to Xuantian Sword Sect this time and wanted to arrive as soon as possible, so without wasting a moment, they simply packed up and headed straight for Xuantian Sword Sect.

The journey was smooth, but when they arrived at the territory of Xuantian Sword Sect, they encountered many flying swords coming at them. Without exception, those flying swords were heading towards Xuantian Sword Sect, which made Gu Lan suspicious.

I thought: Now that Xuantian Sword Sect has a new leader, there are many sects and cultivators who are congratulating them. I am not going with my junior brother to congratulate him, but to get some spiritual energy. Not only do I have nothing in my hands, but if I walk through the main gate, won't people laugh at me? Why not stay in the town at the foot of Xuantian Sword Sect first and ask around first?

After making up his mind, Gu Lan told his three fellow apprentices about it. The three fellow apprentices had little experience of traveling far away, so everything they saw was new to them. Naturally, they would like to spend more time outside, and they all agreed.

Just like that, Gu Lan and his three fellow apprentices landed in Baicheng at the foot of Xuantian Sword Sect Mountain.

The Baishi City was very prosperous, with people from all sects and schools coming here to travel. Occasionally, one or two powerful independent cultivators would exchange ideas with sect disciples. It was also very fun for them to eat, stroll, and watch. Not wanting to waste several days, a little boy found Gu Lan one day.

It turned out that this was an outer sect disciple of Xuantian Sword Sect, who was only on duty at the worship hall set up halfway up the mountain. This worship hall was specially set up for the common people. If the common people wanted to ask for some kind of blessing, they only had to leave a note there. Generally, the outer sect disciples were the ones who handled such matters, and the disciples who were taught by the emperor could not easily leave the mountain, unless there was something that could not be solved.

The little boy was terrified after receiving the jade slip from Elder Xuan Yi, thinking that he had been discovered after secretly taking the roast chicken from the mountain. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the elder had gone down the mountain to ask for help, so he hurried down the mountain to look for Gu Lan and others.

Baishi City is huge, and it is not easy to find someone. I haven't found anyone for several days and was getting discouraged. Suddenly, I found the person sitting in the teahouse who looked like the person described in the jade slip, so I walked over.

Gu Lan has been drinking tea in this teahouse these days. This teahouse is crowded with people and gossips, and it is an information distribution center. It is good to listen to some gossip. Moreover, teahouse is always a good place for people to stay. Maybe he will meet the outer disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect or something, and then he can ask about things.

Therefore, I didn't run around with my fellow brothers these days. I just gave them a few instructions and told them to just watch the arena and learn from the experience. But they should never force themselves to be the best. We would all gather at the inn as usual in the evening.

Gu Lan had heard a lot of gossip in the past few days. It turned out that the reason why Xuantian Sword Sect had so many people these days was not entirely because of the new leader's succession, but also related to another matter. However, no one had been invited to the mountain, and no one knew what it was. It made people feel itchy.

The little boy stepped forward to greet Gu Lan and was about to say something when suddenly an argument broke out at the next table. In an instant, a table was overturned and a beautiful woman drew her sword and stabbed at the casual cultivator at the next table.

The table was flipped over and landed right on the boy's head. Gu Lan was quick-witted and pulled the boy behind him, then carried the boy about ten feet away before letting him fall.

Over there, swords were already flashing and the fight was fierce.

The shopkeeper, with shaking hands, advised: "Everyone, please don't fight here."

"Oh, I just made a new table." The boss cried out in pain while holding the broken table top.

Seeing this, others shook their heads and said, "Although the people of Yunqing Sect are all women, they are extremely violent. No wonder they are never found in the cultivation world when looking for companions."

"Yeah, don't mess with them no matter who you are, tsk tsk." After saying that, he did not forget to stare at the female cultivator.

The female cultivator from the Yunqing Sect was truly beautiful.

Gu Lan couldn't help but take a few more glances. Then she noticed that the female cultivator was only concerned with fighting the fat man at the table, but didn't notice that several casual cultivators behind her were planning to use a shady trick.

Seeing that the fat man was no match for them and fearing that they would suffer a loss, those wandering cultivators secretly used their magic to shoot at the waist of the female cultivator from the Yunqing Sect. Upon seeing this, Gu Lan knew that he should not act rashly when he did not know the person's strength, but he still helped secretly by ejecting the chopsticks at hand to block the attack.

Gu Lan was standing behind a group of spectators and moved immediately after making that attack. Even if those people knew that the chopsticks came from this direction, they couldn't be sure who it was and could only stare at this side fiercely.

But after this episode, the disciple of Yunqing Sect paused and glanced at Gu Lan intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Lan thought to herself that this person was very perceptive.

He then took the little boy away without saying a word.

They stopped at the inn and breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that it was Elder Xuanyi who asked them to go up the mountain.

It seems that the Xuantian Sword Sect finally has time to deal with these unknown young people.

After thanking the little boy, Gu Lan went out to look for some fellow apprentices. As soon as he went out, he saw the woman waiting at the door of the inn.

The woman looked up and down at the somewhat dilapidated inn, with no emotion in her eyes. She just said calmly, "Thank you for your help just now."

Gu Lan was slightly startled. When he saw her looking at him and staring at him before, he felt that this person was very perceptive. Maybe even if she knew that she came from this direction, she might not know that it was him who came to help. It would be better for her to leave early. Now she was blocked at the door. Gu Lan was very confused. How could she be 100% sure that it was him?

Gu Lan looked around and saw that the people around were normal and he did not notice the few casual cultivators before, so he generously admitted, "It's just a small favor, no need to be polite, but how did you identify me among those onlookers?"

The woman raised her right hand, and a golden line appeared from her sleeve. Gu Lan looked closely and realized that it was not a golden line but a very thin golden snake.

"It's him, not me." The woman loved the little golden snake very much and stroked its body. "If you hadn't taken action just now, I would have let Ah Jin give those gossipers a good beating! But since you took action, just spare their lives."

Well, the Yunqing Sect really lives up to its reputation.

"Ah, hahaha." Gu Lan smiled awkwardly.

"Hello, I'm Ah Xiu from the Yunqing Sect. What's your name? Why are you mixed up with the Xuantian Sword Sect? Are you from the outer sect of the Xuantian Sword Sect?"

This barrage of questions came at him, and they sounded justified. Seeing Ah Jin stretching his neck and leaning towards him, Gu Lan leaned back diagonally, so he had to answer honestly, "I am Gu Lan from Qianjimen. Can you let Ah Jin take a step back? I'm afraid of being poisoned to death."

Ah Xiu chuckled, "Ah Jin doesn't poison everyone he catches, unless he has bad intentions. He's so close to you, it must like you."

"Thank you for your kindness." Gu Lan bowed towards Ajin, very politely.

Ajin was very excited, sticking out his tongue and nodding.

“It’s quite spiritual.”

"Of course." Ah Xiu praised, "Since you have nothing to do with Xuantian Sword Sect, I should thank you for saving me just now."

After saying that, Ah Xiu threw a sign towards Gu Lan.

"This is the badge of the Yunqing Sect. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to Nanjiang to find me. I will definitely not refuse any help I can give you."

When Gu Lan took the badge, she smelled a faint scent of sandalwood. Just as she was about to refuse, Ah Xiu had already left.

"Hey!" Gu Lan called her, but A Xiu had already walked away.
