“This peach blossom cake was Qingqing’s favorite in the past. To be willing to give it to you, it seems that she really likes you.” Wen Guiyun saw that Jun Wu did not move and Gu Qingqing was unable to speak, so he could not help but explain on behalf of his disciple. Of course, the sourness in his words could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.
Although Jun Wu was still expressionless, he looked at Wen Guiyun with a slightly surprised gaze, as if he did not expect someone of Wen Guiyun’s status to be jealous over such a small matter!
He turned his head and looked at Gu Qingqing who was still staring at him. A trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out his chopsticks and picked up the pastry. Under Gu Qingqing’s gaze, he placed it into his mouth.
Mmm, it was a little sweet, it was a taste that little girls liked!
“Thank you, it’s very delicious.” After eating the other party’s food, he naturally had to express something. Jun Wu no longer had a straight face and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, pulling out a smile that could not be considered a smile.
Gu Qingqing’s eyes lit up and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face. She lowered her head and began to eat her porridge.
Jun Wu looked at Gu Qingqing for a while before he expressionlessly shifted his gaze away. However, the hand that was placed on his leg could not help but move.
After the two of them finished their breakfast, they began the day’s lesson. Wen Guiyun first gave Gu Qingqing some guidance regarding her cultivation problems before giving her a jade slip.
“This is the cultivation technique that I found for you. It is barely suitable for your cultivation. I will find something better for you in the future.” Besides picking up Jun Wu, the main purpose of Wen Guiyun’s trip this time was to help Gu Qingqing find a cultivation technique. Unfortunately, the result was not very satisfactory. When he mentioned it, he sounded a little regretful.
Jun Wu’s ears twitched. He glanced at the jade slip that Wen Guiyun handed to Gu Qingqing. After confirming that it was the cultivation technique that Wen Guiyun had spent a large sum of money to exchange for from their Misty Cloud Holy Land, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. He felt as if his understanding of Wen Guiyun had been refreshed once again.
One had to know that the cultivation technique that Wen Guiyun said was “barely suitable” for Gu Qingqing was considered a top-notch cultivation technique even in the Misty Cloud Holy Land. It was needless to say how highly it would be placed in the Mysterious Heavenly mainland. If it was not for the fact that Wen Guiyun had given him quite a lot of value, his father would not have given the cultivation technique to Wen Guiyun either.
In the end, it had become something that could be used by Wen Guiyun. He could not help but want to ask Wen guiyun: what kind of cultivation technique was worthy of Gu Qingqing? Did it have to be at the divine level?
Fortunately, Jun Wu was used to being expressionless and was used to managing his expression since he was young. That was why he did not lose his composure on the spot.
But this also made him realize Gu Qingqing’s position in Wen Guiyun’s heart. It really hurt his heart. As far as he knew, the Holy Masters of the Holy Lands or the sect leaders of the sects would not be able to treat their own daughter to such an extent, right?
Gu Qingqing and Wen Guiyun naturally did not know what Jun Wu was thinking. Gu Qingqing took the jade slip from Wen Guiyun and placed it directly on her forehead. After receiving all the cultivation techniques, even someone like Gu Qingqing who was inexperienced could tell that this cultivation technique was not simple. However, Wen Guiyun said that this cultivation technique was not worthy of her. Knowing that Wen Guiyun loved her, Gu Qingqing was even happier than if she had received immortal level cultivation technique.
She reached out and pulled Wen Guiyun’s sleeve. After Wen Guiyun bent down, she hugged Wen Guiyun with a bright smile on her face.
Wen Guiyun was waiting for Gu Qingqing to praise him. After being hugged by her, he immediately revealed a satisfied smile and patted her head.
“Alright, stop acting coquettishly. We still have to learn how to write.” Although he was very happy in his heart, Wen Guiyun was still able to keep his composure on the surface and said directly.
Gu Qingqing nodded her head lightly and withdrew from Wen Guiyun’s embrace. She began to learn how to read according to what Wen Guiyun had just taught her.
Only then did Wen Guiyun turn around to teach Jun Wu. Jun Wu had his own way of learning that had long been arranged for him. Wen Guiyun had only checked on his cultivation condition and answered some of his questions.
Just like that, the two of them studied together with Wen Guiyun for five days before they set foot on the days of moving from the main peak to the five peaks.
…
After more than a month of study, Gu Qingqing had already learned a lot of words. Although the words were ugly, she could still write some commonly used words. Meanwhile, Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing had been in and out of the same place during this period of time. They had studied together, practiced the sword together, and learned to refine weapons together However, they were much more familiar with each other. When Jun Wu faced Gu Qingqing, he was not always expressionless. He would occasionally smile, even though it was after Gu Qingqing had made a joke.
After finishing their studies in the third peak, the two of them went to Mu Chen’s fourth peak. Mu Chen first examined how Gu Qingqing was doing with the homework he had given her, before telling the two of them his decision.
“It’s the season for the Seven Hearts Flower to mature recently. Coincidentally, I need the Seven Hearts Flower to refine the Heart Cleansing Pill recently. The two of you should go pack up now. I’ll bring you to pick the Seven Hearts Flower.” Mu Chen stood up from the herbal field and dusted off the soil on his hands as he spoke to Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu.
Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing looked at each other in surprise. Of course, Gu Qingqing was more than happy.
Although she was more of a homebody, she occasionally wanted to go out for a walk. It had been more than a month since the last time she went out. Now that she heard that Mu Chen was going to bring them out to pick herbs, she was naturally happy.
Jun Wu initially wanted to remind them that the mountains were very dangerous, but when he thought of the cultivation level shown by Si Lin and the others, he thought that Mu Chen’s cultivation level should not be too bad. The Mysterious Sky Continent was only a low-level plane, so there should not be too much of a problem. Besides… he glanced at Gu Qingqing. Even if there was danger, he could still protect Gu Qingqing.
Hence, the two of them went back and tidied up a little before coming to the courtyard. Mu Chen was already waiting for them. After that, he summoned a crane and left with the two of them.
The Seven Hearts Flower was a fifth-grade spiritual flower, Xi Yang. It was the main material used to refine the Heart Cleansing Pill. Its flower was very small and was very similar to another second-grade spiritual flower, the Fire Spiritual flower. Those who were not familiar with the Seven Hearts flower would easily confuse the two.
Mu Chen had already figured out the distribution of the medicinal herbs in the Ten Thousand Li mountains when he first arrived. He was also very clear about the place where the Seven Hearts flower grew. However, in order to train Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, he did not ask the immortal crane to bring them there directly. Instead, he told them about the habits of the spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs, and medicinal herbs while walking. He also asked them to take care of some low grade spiritual beasts while he stood by the side to support the two of them.
However, they were pressed for time. They used two days to rush to the place where the Seven Hearts flower grew.
“This is the place where the Seven Hearts flower grows. Qingqing, come and find out where the flower is.” Mu Chen wanted to test Gu Qingqing. He found a big tree to lean against and asked her to look for the Seven Hearts flower.
Gu Qingqing had seen the picture of the Seven Hearts Flower in the book that Mu Chen had given her. Mu Chen had also told her about the habits of the flower, so when she heard that Mu Chen wanted to test her, she was not afraid. She opened her eyes wide and began to look for the Seven Hearts flower.
Very quickly, she found a Seven Hearts flower among the wild flowers. In her excitement, she immediately ran over.
Just as she was carefully picking the flowers, Jun Wu, who had been standing beside her, suddenly moved. He grabbed Gu Qingqing, took five to six steps back and threw out a dagger at the same time.
