24: You are a good person

"Is everyone alright? Uh... why are you all looking at me like that?"

Gu Yuan sighed in his heart. The Jin Mie Cult... Then, he turned around and walked over to his Junior Sisters.

At this moment, both his Junior Sisters and Yun Qingci were staring at him with immense curiosity.

"Senior Brother, you... um... you couldn't possibly be a member of the Jin Mie Cult, could you? Ow... ouch... it hurts..."

Zhao Shiyun clutched her head, looking at Gu Yuan with a pitiful, aggrieved expression.

After retracting his hand from the chop, Gu Yuan looked at the other Junior Sisters, who were also blinking their eyes at him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he spoke:

"What are you all thinking? Your Senior Brother has heaven-defying methods; you just need to worship me."

Hearing this, Zhao Shiyun and the other Junior Sisters all giggled and chimed in:

"That's right, Senior Brother is the most amazing!"

"Heehee, Senior Brother saved me today, and I have nothing to repay you with. Would you like to come to my room tonight, Senior Brother?"

They naturally knew it was impossible for Gu Yuan to be part of the Jin Mie Cult; those words were just a joke.

Gu Yuan poked their foreheads, somewhat exasperated.

"Alright, alright, divide these Medicinal Pills among yourselves, then go check if you have any injuries."

Although they were precious Medicinal Pills, the Junior Sisters accepted them with giggles.

After all, they were already accustomed to their Senior Brother frequently producing rare Medicinal Pills.

Gu Yuan shook his head; these Junior Sisters were quite a handful.

Fortunately, he had arrived in time; he didn't want anything to actually happen to them.

"Gu Yuan, you're really popular. They all trust you very much,"

Yun Qingci walked up to Gu Yuan's side and poked him with the hilt of her sword, speaking seriously.

Looking at his smiling Junior Sisters, Gu Yuan couldn't help but let out a smile as well.

"Yeah, they are all my precious Junior Sisters."

"But Miss Yun, aren't you curious about what just happened?"

Gu Yuan smiled at Yun Qingci and asked with some curiosity.

His Junior Sisters trusted him because they had been together for a long time and shared a deep bond.

However, Gu Yuan hadn't expected Miss Yun to trust him so much as well.

Yun Qingci simply smiled and said softly:

"That is your privacy, so naturally, I won't pry. Besides, you saved me, and you're the Disciple of Empress Qiongyue. Therefore, you must be a good person."

I... Gu Yuan opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Even though he had been acknowledged by her, why did he feel like he had just been inexplicably given a 'good person card'?

Yun Qingci thought for a moment and added:

"Also... um, you don't have to keep calling me Miss Yun. You can just call me Qing Ci. See, I just call you Gu Yuan directly."

Uh... Gu Yuan nodded with a smile upon hearing this.

"Alright, I'll call you Qing Ci from now on. Speaking of which, we are indeed friends, and you even came along this time."

"Mm, but I didn't really help with much..."

While Gu Yuan and Yun Qingci were talking, several Disciples of the Jade Moon Sect were secretly observing them.

"That person seems to be from the Liyue Sword Sect. What's her relationship with Senior Brother?"

"Shh, I heard she's the Descendant of the Sword Immortal. Looking at this, it seems her relationship with Senior Brother is quite unusual."

"Heehee, as expected of Senior Brother, his charm is truly irresistible."

Watching the gossiping Junior Sisters, Zhao Shiyun let out a helpless cough.

"Alright, alright, that's Senior Brother. If you gossip too much, be careful or he might hit you."

The Junior Sisters all giggled and nodded.

Seeing them like this, Zhao Shiyun couldn't help but laugh along with them.

"What are you laughing at? Come on, follow your Senior Brother back to the Sect."

"Okay~ Senior Brother, heehee, by the way, what is your relationship with Miss Yun?"

"Shoo, shoo! You dare gossip about your Senior Brother now?"

"Gu Yuan and I are just friends. Uh... why are you all looking at me like that?"

Yun Qingci asked seriously, tilting her head slightly, causing her Little Noodle to sway.

So cute!

This was the thought in everyone's mind, including Gu Yuan's.

"Cough, it's nothing. Let's go, back to the Sect together."

...After returning to the Jade Moon Sect, Gu Yuan sent his Junior Sisters back to recover from their injuries.

Yun Qingci was also dragged away by them, saying they would help Gu Yuan entertain her properly.

However, Gu Yuan had a feeling those gossiping Junior Sisters just wanted to interrogate Little Noodle about her relationship with him.

Gu Yuan shook his head. As he arrived at his courtyard, he suddenly said softly:

"Alright, come out. How much longer are you going to watch?"

As Gu Yuan's voice fell, a slender figure appeared before him.

It was a tall woman wearing a bronze mask.

Her exposed red lips appeared exceptionally delicate.

Judging by the exquisite features visible from beneath the half-mask, she must be a very beautiful woman.

"Master's perception is indeed formidable. This subordinate has failed to remain hidden every time."

The woman's voice was extremely soft and charming, and the admiration in her beautiful eyes was almost overflowing.

Gu Yuan patted her head with a smile.

"Alright, get up. Let's go inside and talk."

Feng Wu let out a soft moan and rubbed against Gu Yuan's hand once more before following him into the house.

"How is the situation at Feng Wu Tower now? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Gu Yuan poured a cup of Spirit Tea for Feng Wu and asked with curiosity.

Feng Wu would return to report the situation every once in a while.

However, this time seemed to be a bit earlier than expected.

Feng Wu shook her head gently, her beautiful eyes still fixed on Gu Yuan as if she could never see enough of him.

"Master, everything is developing smoothly at Feng Wu Tower. We have intelligence stations almost everywhere on the continent."

"Furthermore, the cooperation with the Jin Mie Cult is also going well. That Cult Leader... seems to be exceptionally tolerant of us."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's expression froze slightly, though he didn't show anything outward.

"That's good. If anything happens, contact me directly, or... um, you can also contact the Jin Mie Cult. She can be trusted."

Feng Wu nodded gently.

Although she was very curious about the relationship between her Master and that Cult Leader,

as a subordinate, she could never overstep her bounds.

Master... is Master.

And Master... Feng Wu felt that the love in her heart for him was becoming almost impossible to suppress.

"In short, you don't need to work too hard. After all... hey, what are you doing?"

While Gu Yuan was speaking, he saw Feng Wu suddenly move behind him.

At the same time, she embraced him with her soft body. In an instant, the sweet fragrance of her feminine scent wafted over him.

Gu Yuan was instantly stunned. Wait, why was she starting to get handsy all of a sudden?
