Chapter 5, The Saint's Disqualification
This senior brother, this junior is participating in the inner sect selection for the first time. I am unaware of which peak is the strongest in the inner sect this year and in which direction it is located
However, before that, it is necessary to find that disqualified saintess.
The venue for the selection of the Inner Gate Sword Peak is so crowded; if the Great Saintess Qi were to appear, it would surely cause a stir and discussions. However, up to now, there has been no such news. It seems she must have concealed her aura and appearance, disguising herself to be here.
After much inquiry, the image of a peerlessly beautiful, exceptionally talented, and masterful swordsmanship practitioner, yet fond of slacking off, gradually emerged in Gu Changsheng's mind as the Sword Sect's saintess
The qualification selection areas of the Third Peak and the Seventh Peak are quite similar, and as Gu Changsheng anticipated, there exists a certain covert competition between the two peaks. He glanced from a distance and noticed that the qualification selection area of the Third Peak displayed a rusted bronze sword, while the selection area of the Seventh Peak featured a damaged ancient book
In light of this, Gu Changsheng casually grabbed a seemingly honest senior brother and cupped his hands in greeting, asking:
Destined Partner: Nangong Yan; Destiny Quality: Unremarkable; Importance Level: 90 and * Image * Book %
This series of actions must be a fatal blow for the disqualified saintess Qi Hansu! It is rare in life to find a kindred spirit, and in the face of such a soul-matching existence, she will surely be unable to resist developing a curiosity about me, Gu.
Gu Dazhan God clenched his fists tightly, his sharp gaze scrutinizing the bustling crowd. Who would have thought that just a few days ago he was sparring with the elite monster, Li Shimei, and in the blink of an eye, he had entered the world boss Qi Hansu's map
According to a certain mysterious law, the silhouette of the Saint Lady must be more distinctive than that of other senior and junior sisters. Based on this, we can further exclude all those who do not wear veils or similar artifacts that conceal their aura, narrowing the range down to about ten to twenty individuals
A certain senior brother: Qi junior sister's swordsmanship is just average, it has been overly praised by everyone. I fought against her during the previous inner sect competition... What exactly was it like...? That senior brother cannot recall. ... ... It ended in the blink of an eye, I suspect she used some trick, but I have no evidence.
Fortunately, Gu Changsheng has not earned his reputation in vain after many years of wandering the world. From the moment he made his grand aspiration, he has attempted to glean insights into the character of the Great Saintess Qi through various junior and senior sisters, and even indirectly from the mouth of the little elder.
Now it's good, the Saintess has everything in her heart, except for a sword
That honest senior brother looked up and down at Gu Changsheng, seemingly feeling that apart from being handsome, he did not possess the demeanor of a master. He immediately shook his head and said
Destined Partner: Shen Wanxiang; Destiny Quality: Rising Fame; Importance Level: 70%
This year, the first peak did not hold a selection, so naturally, the strongest are the third peak and the seventh peak. Although your foundation-building strength is quite strong among the outer disciples, it is still best to be pragmatic.
Imagine, when he Gu Changsheng leisurely strolls to the qualification selection area between the Third Peak and the Seventh Peak, displaying his extraordinary talents before others, causing his senior brothers to be shocked and his junior sisters to shed tears. Just as the Third Peak and the Seventh Peak are fighting fiercely over him, he casually remarks:
To be honest, when Gu Changsheng first heard about the Lady Saint of their family being indifferent to sword cultivation, he momentarily thought he had entered a false Sword Sect
Thank you for your concern, senior brother. As the saying goes, "Fortune favors the bold," I believe I can challenge my own limits. Gu Changsheng said with a serious expression.
How to find the person you are looking for in a crowded place? The correct answer is to position yourself in a place where the other person can see you.
Many senior brothers who have been lying in wait outside for a long time have all mobilized; junior brother, you cannot compete with them
Throughout history, countless predecessors' experiences have informed Gu Changsheng that the Holy Maiden of the Sword Sect must possess a temperament as cold and extraordinary as an ice mountain snow lotus, with a heart as clear as the sword, solely focused on the pursuit of swordsmanship. Apart from being aloof and indifferent, it seems there are no other words to describe her.
The elder in charge of law enforcement wouldn't be deceiving me, would he? People say that one speaks the truth after drinking, so why are you spreading rumors instead?
What on earth is Brother Gu doing...?
Fortunately, Gu Changsheng is not a novice, and the path to becoming a Yellow-haired Immortal is fraught with many challenges, this can only be considered a minor issue. The Template Saintess has her own strategies for success, while the Disqualified Saintess has her own methods as well
As he scanned the crowd one by one, Gu Changsheng was unable to find the saint he desired among those who had been simply filtered out. This caused a jolt in his heart, leading him to begin doubting whether he had made a mistake regarding the *illustrated* book.
Staring at each senior brother one by one to investigate felt somewhat inappropriate. Gu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, feeling that his method of searching like looking for a needle in a haystack was somewhat wasteful of time
As a disqualified saintess, it is quite reasonable for her to come and take a look at such a lively event
... ...
In the end, Elder, you tell me that Qi Hansu is actually unworthy of being a saint? In such a large sect, she happens to dislike cultivating the sword?
The selection areas on both sides were filled with disciples eager to enter the inner gate. However, the disciples seated cross-legged by the bronze short swords were all gritting their teeth, their faces showing signs of struggle, as if they were battling against some form of pressure. In contrast, the disciples by the incomplete ancient texts were each lost in thought, as if they were contemplating the path to enlightenment
Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment and decided to initiate a comprehensive investigation first
Gu Changsheng smiled faintly, not taking his senior brother's advice to heart
Curiosity is often the beginning of a woman's downfall
Fortunately, this was not the first time she had encountered Gu Changsheng's peculiarities. Nodding in acknowledgment of the unusual, she embarked on her journey to pursue her dreams at the Sword Peak
Gu Changsheng silently praised his own cleverness, and then walked briskly towards the east of hetushu.com
Your actions will disrupt my plans, won't they! ... I was originally thinking of using my exceptional swordsmanship talent to gradually approach her, allowing her heart of the sword to slowly take on my shape
A certain unnamed junior sister: Qi Hansu, she's alright. My looks are about fifty-fifty with hers. I am a bit cuter than she is
Is it possible that the saintess disguised as a man to come and watch the excitement as a senior brother?
In fact, I have little interest in swordsmanship—I only wish to enter the inner circle and enjoy a leisurely life.
Sigh... The newly sprouted chives are not afraid of being rolled up... The third and seventh peaks are to the east, so take care of yourself.
A certain elder of law: The Holy Maiden possesses extraordinary talent, beyond the reach of ordinary people. ... It is a pity ... ... that she has no interest in sword cultivation, yet the sect leader still claims that her childlike heart is rare and allows her to drift. Alas, if that child Qingming were still here, perhaps our Taiyi Sword Sect would not have to place the entire burden of restoring its former glory on her alone.
Did I just overlook that particularly handsome senior brother?
Pei Ningning, looking bewildered, was pushed away by Gu Changsheng, staring at him with a rather strange expression for a while
Destined Partner: Xu Caipei; Destiny Quality: Unremarkable; Importance Level: 100%
