The matter of Zhang Sanfeng’s hundred-year birthday celebration was finally settled. Although it wasn’t perfect due to Zhang Wuji, Song Yuanqiao was still very satisfied.
He said to Gu Hanyu with a smile on his face:
“Hanyu, I didn’t expect you to break through to the Innate Realm without a sound. My third brother has been disabled for many years and hasn’t paid enough attention to you. If you have any questions about martial arts or daily life in the future, feel free to ask any of us senior disciples. As for today’s events, you did well. Remember to uphold the reputation of the Wudang Sect when you travel the world in the future.”
“Hanyu was able to break through to the Innate Realm thanks to Master’s permission to access the Library Pavilion. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Gu Hanyu naturally understood Song Yuanqiao’s meaning. He was worried about Gu Hanyu’s sense of belonging to the Wudang Sect, so he made a special effort to say that.
Actually, Gu Hanyu didn’t care. After all, he had only been in this world for a few days. His original body was a silent and inconspicuous person. Expecting a modern person to have a sense of belonging to a sect was simply nonsense.
Of course, he was satisfied with his identity as a Wudang Sect disciple. The Wudang Sect was very strong in this world. Having its influence was enough.
Song Yuanqiao nodded in satisfaction. He always liked disciples who were humble and polite.
Moreover, Gu Hanyu had extraordinary talent and was the future of the Wudang Sect, so he liked him even more.
As for Song Qing Shu losing the title of the number one young disciple of Wudang, it never crossed his mind.
“Hanyu, why don’t you come with me to see how Wuji is doing?”
“Yes, Master. Hanyu is also a little worried about Wuji’s condition.”
Of course, this was a lie. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Wuji would definitely not die. And he would most likely suffer from the Ice Soul Poison. The main reason he wanted to go was to see Yin Susu and try to gain some more Villain Points tonight. He was planning to leave Mount Wudang in a while. His martial arts were still lacking.
On the way to the backyard, the system gave him another evaluation. But this time, it was an evaluation of the entire hundred-year birthday celebration event. SS-grade evaluation, 5,000 Villain Points.
Saving Zhang Cuishan seemed to be beneficial to Zhang Wuji on the surface. However, although Zhang Cuishan was loyal and righteous, he was a little naive. He would absolutely not agree to Zhang Wuji becoming the leader of the Ming Cult.
Although Yin Susu survived, she was a time bomb considering her relationship with Gu Hanyu.
Gu Hanyu had gained reputation, and he also fooled the world with the fake Dragon-Slaying Saber.
The only possible deduction might be that he upheld the reputation of the Wudang Sect.
An SS-grade evaluation, the lowest level, was reasonable.
Major events had high rewards. He was more looking forward to the siege of the Bright Summit by the six major sects in the future.
For example, if he could destroy the six major sects and the Ming Cult at Bright Summit, would he get an SSS-grade evaluation?
They quickly reached the backyard.
The elders of various Taoist sects and the Seven Heroes were all waiting outside a room.
They all greeted Song Yuanqiao and Gu Hanyu when they saw them.
They were particularly curious about Gu Hanyu. He broke through to the Innate Realm without a sound and made a big splash today.
Chongxu Daoist of True Martial Temple, Yucha Real Person of White Cloud Temple, Tianxu Daoist of Shangqing Temple, and Ma Zhen Daoist of Yuxu Temple were all quite friendly towards Gu Hanyu. They mostly encouraged him or hoped that he could exchange martial arts with their disciples.
Although Mu Daoist seemed to be kind and gentle on the surface, Gu Hanyu could clearly feel the fear in his eyes. He was probably afraid that Gu Hanyu would grow too fast and affect his future plans.
Most of the Seven Heroes of Wudang had met Gu Hanyu before. Although they hadn’t noticed anything unusual about him at the time, they were all happy for him.
Mo Shenggu, the youngest, liked Gu Hanyu the most. He kept patting his shoulder and praising him.
Mo Shenggu had the most fiery personality. He had already been holding back a lot of anger from being harassed by the major sects today.
When he saw Gu Hanyu rebuke Kong Wen, it was like he had drunk a bottle of ice water on a hot day. It was so refreshing and satisfying.
Although Zhang Cuishan was worried about Zhang Wuji, he also came up and encouraged him in a superficial way.
Gu Hanyu looked at Zhang Cuishan and felt a little strange inside, but he didn’t show it on his face. He was humble and polite.
Yin Susu felt even more awkward when she saw Zhang Cuishan and Gu Hanyu talking. It was so uncomfortable.
Especially when Yin Susu saw that Gu Hanyu was even trying to signal her through Zhang Cuishan, her heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, Gu Hanyu didn’t come over to talk to her. She finally felt relieved.
Yin Susu didn’t realize what Gu Hanyu had meant by his signal until a while later. She pondered for a long time and finally concluded that he probably wanted to talk to her in private.
Actually, she had many things to ask Gu Hanyu.
Yin Susu subconsciously felt that Gu Hanyu might have something to do with Wutian. Otherwise, why did he show up today, right on time, and also bring the news of Xie Xun and the Dragon-Slaying Saber?
If it wasn’t for Wutian, even if Gu Hanyu was able to rebuke people today, he would at most cause a conflict between the Wudang Sect and the major sects.
Even if he survived today, he would still have a lot of trouble later on.
But because of Wutian, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu’s troubles were gone in an instant.
If it hadn’t been for Zhang Wuji in the end, Yin Susu would have liked to find a chance to thank him.
After waiting outside for an hour, the door finally opened.
When Zhang Sanfeng walked out of the room, everyone surrounded him and asked about Zhang Wuji’s condition.
Zhang Sanfeng explained that Zhang Wuji had been struck by the “玄冥神掌” (Mysterious Nether Palm). If it had been him, it would have been easy to dissipate the Ice Soul Poison. But Zhang Wuji was young and his internal energy cultivation was weak, so he couldn’t resist the invasion of the Ice Soul Poison.
The Ice Soul Poison had already invaded Zhang Wuji’s top head, heart, and dantian. Even with Zhang Sanfeng’s cultivation at the Land Immortal Realm, he couldn’t absorb even a sliver of it.
He could only use his profound internal energy to protect Zhang Wuji’s heart and suppress the Ice Soul Poison.
For now, they could only have a Grandmaster give Zhang Wuji internal energy for an hour, one at a time, to see if they could wear down the Ice Soul Poison through prolonged confrontation.
No one objected. Mu Daoist was the first to enter.
Those who were not at the Grandmaster Realm no longer stayed there. After comforting Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, they all left.
Zhang Sanfeng stopped Gu Hanyu.
He didn’t seem to have any objection to his concealed cultivation. He just told him that he could ask him if he had any questions about martial arts in the next few days.
Obviously, Zhang Sanfeng also had great expectations for Gu Hanyu. Even if he had some ulterior motives, as long as he was loyal to the Wudang Sect, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
Gu Hanyu naturally responded respectfully.
He actually had many questions he wanted to ask. Although he had learned a lot of external skills, they were all at the beginner level.
Moreover, his internal energy cultivation had grown too quickly, and he had accumulated a lot of doubts. Villain Points could only improve cultivation, not provide enlightenment.
After Zhang Sanfeng went to rest, Gu Hanyu didn’t stay any longer.
When he passed by Yin Susu, he whispered, “Tonight, at midnight, under the big tree we were at the other day.”
