"Even if itâs tough, we still have to try." The eldest apprentice said firmly, "Our Yunmen Mountain cannot be without a Sect Leader." They might know some medical skills, but they were far from being Divine Doctors. So many people came to seek medical attention, and with the master not around, they didnât dare to entertain them. After all, most of the people who came had incurable diseases. If they couldnât be cured, wouldnât that ruin the reputation?
"Actually, Eldest Brother, the Grandmaster put you in charge of the sectâs affairs. Isnât that to train you to be the Sect Leader?" The round-faced man glanced sideways at the eldest apprentice.
"Second Junior Brother, I have to be self-aware too." The eldest apprentice sighed, "Whether in martial arts or medical skills, among us, I might be considered good, but compared to others, not so much. Even if I canât make the Cloud Sect flourish, I must at least not destroy it, right?"
The round-faced man couldnât help but give a thumbs-up: "Eldest Brother, the thing I admire most about you is your self-awareness."
The eldest apprentice gave a bitter smile: "Letâs go."
At the inn, Gu Qiao looked at the three people who had just entered, said nothing, and directly led them to the Rain Garden, where their guards were staying.
Originally, two courtyards would have been enough for everyone, but the master had money and booked four courtyards, so they naturally couldnât have any objections, right?
"Thank you, brothers." The eldest apprentice clasped his fists first, "I am Yong You, the 33rd-generation eldest apprentice of the Cloud Sect. This is my second junior brother, Yong Qi, and my junior brother, Yong Qing."
Gu Qiao nodded slightly: "Please, make yourselves at home." Then he turned and left.
"Why did he just leave?" Yong Qi frowned, but unfortunately, Gu Qiao was already out of sight.
Yong You also frowned, and after a long pause, sighed: "Letâs go, letâs pay our respects to the master."
Dao Xuzi and Ming Guang, the two elders, were staying in the Snow Garden, right next to the Rain Garden. Unfortunately, when they went over, they were turned away. The elders simply wouldnât see them, so the three had to return and wait to try again later.
Meanwhile, in the Bamboo Garden.
Yang Ruxin glanced around at everything: "The environment in this garden is really nice, especially these bamboos, just looking at them makes one feel relaxed. Just imagine playing some music and dancing, how beautiful would that be?"
Gu Qingheng felt his eyelids twitch, quickly went over, and grabbed his wifeâs hand: "Xinxin, if you like it, weâll plant bamboos when we get back."
Yang Ruxin gave him a sidelong glance: "But I canât play music, nor do I want to learn."
"Yang Ruxin." Gu Qingheng suddenly became serious, standing there looking at Yang Ruxin with great seriousness, "I need to remind you, this is just an inn. Back then..."
The teasing look in Yang Ruxinâs eyes grew stronger.
"I hadnât even entered the gate back then." Gu Qingheng found it hard to maintain his seriousness, "I was just standing at the courtyard entrance, really, but youâre still getting jealous over that, isnât it a bit... a bit absurd?"
"Absurd?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Youâre the one being absurd. I just picked a garden I liked to stay in, and you have so much to say, even claiming Iâm jealous. Are you feeling guilty or something?"
"Heaven and earth as my witness, I havenât done anything unworthy of you, why should I feel guilty?"
"But youâre acting very guilty." Yang Ruxin chuckled.
Gu Qingheng touched his nose; how could he not feel guilty? He was just worried that if his wife got upset, he wouldnât be able to get on the bed, and wouldnât that be a loss?
"This place really is beautiful."
Gu Qingheng blinked his eyes.
