Chapter 98 – Compared to Brother-in-law’s Beauty
Looking at his younger brother-in-law who appeared before him, Gu Yu felt a sense of disbelief.
Unlike his previous thin and youthful appearance, Gu Qingheng had now transformed into a sturdy young man. In just a short period of not seeing him, his height had also grown considerably.
This way, Gu Qingheng wouldn’t have to worry about his height anymore.
“Hehe, brother-in-law, how is it? Aren’t you shocked to see your now handsome younger brother-in-law?”
However, as soon as Gu Qingheng opened his mouth, he was not much different from before.
With that proud expression, he looked as if a tail would wag upwards to express his inner pride and self-satisfaction.
This made Gu Yu shake his head helplessly, thinking how terrifying outward appearances could be deceiving!
“It’s okay, you look much sturdier than before. Practicing martial arts is quite useful.”
“It is useful. Brother-in-law, do you want to try practicing too!”
“Me? I’ll pass. People like me, who are so talented, are more suited for the artistic path.”
Then, upon hearing his younger brother-in-law’s persuasion, Gu Yu’s lips curved upwards. Afterward, he decisively shook his head, thinking he wouldn’t fall for it!
Such strenuous things as practicing martial arts should be left for his younger brother-in-law to enjoy the thrill alone!
When Gu Qingheng saw that Gu Yu wasn’t biting, he started to feel depressed. He originally thought that his obvious transformation could convince his brother-in-law to join him in the painful hell of practicing martial arts.
However, Gu Yu sensed the danger.
He dodged in time.
Damn it!
“Alright, stop plotting those bad ideas and tell me what you’ve experienced during this time.”
Gu Yu looked at his younger brother-in-law’s darting eyes, knowing he hadn’t given up on his little schemes. He sighed helplessly, then spoke to remind Gu Qingheng to quickly talk about the recent situation.
After entering the gates of Qingshan Academy, Gu Mengyao led Little Red to find Xi Yang and the others first, while Gu Yu waited in the academy’s guest reception room.
However, before long, his younger brother-in-law arrived.
Afterward, he started to show off his recent changes, hoping to get Gu Yu to practice martial arts with him.
To this, Gu Yu politely declined.
Although seeing his energetic younger brother-in-law made Gu Yu feel that practicing martial arts was a very good form of exercise, he still wanted to live a few more years, so he wouldn’t join in the reckless endeavors.
“Nothing much has happened recently. Besides practicing martial arts, I’ve forgotten how long it’s been since I went out to inquire about gossip!”
“You’re still reluctant to let go of gossip, even after training to this point, you’re still thinking about it!”
“Naturally. As long as life continues, so does gossip!!! By the way, speaking of gossip, I suddenly thought of one… that Eldest Senior Sister from the Tianshan Sect, she and Ruan Zhongjing got together.”
When talking about gossip, Gu Qingheng’s face immediately showed a regretful expression, thinking how sad it was to have not gone out to inquire about gossip during this time!
However, where there are people, there is gossip!
Even if he couldn’t go out, within Qingshan Academy, it was possible to find gossip smoothly.
Besides Director Qingshan and Lu Xing arguing again, and Xi Yang secretly stealing chicken legs from the kitchen, the gossip that Gu Qingheng was most enthusiastic about was the couple Ruan Zhongjing and Shen Xue.
According to Gu Qingheng’s observation, Ruan Zhongjing, the bookish fool, had no experience in pleasing girls. In the end, he couldn’t stand it and directly offered Ruan Zhongjing advice.
Just chatting, sending small gifts, and writing several love letters that were so cheesy they made one’s teeth ache, directly won over Shen Xue!
However, it was also because Shen Xue already had some good feelings for Ruan Zhongjing, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so quickly won over.
“The two of them actually got together? I thought Ruan Zhongjing wouldn’t have much of a chance!”
“I thought so too at first, after all, Shen Xue is too beautiful! But she quite likes Ruan Zhongjing’s way. Perhaps she thinks Ruan Zhongjing is foolishly cute?”
“You guys saw Shen Xue’s appearance?”
As they spoke, Gu Yu became interested in what Gu Qingheng had said, thinking that Shen Xue had always worn a veil. From the first meeting to their eventual parting, Gu Yu had never seen Shen Xue’s true face.
Now, Gu Qingheng and the others had seen it.
This further fueled Gu Yu’s curiosity!
Previously, at the Tianshan Sect, he had seen that the female disciples of the sect were not unattractive, and there wasn’t a single ugly woman. This made Gu Yu very confused, wondering if the Tianshan Sect recruited disciples based on their looks.
No ugly women were accepted.
However, after chatting with the Sect Leader of the Tianshan Sect, Gu Yu realized he had been mistaken.
It turned out that the reason the female disciples in the sect were so outstanding was because of the Tianshan Sect’s cultivation techniques.
The deeper the cultivation, the more outstanding the appearance would become.
This made Gu Yu look at the Sect Leader with great confusion at the time. He saw that although her appearance was good, it didn’t reach the point of being soul-stirringly beautiful…
Facing the confusion in Gu Yu’s eyes, the Sect Leader of the Tianshan Sect coughed twice before explaining the situation, stating that she had merely been harmed by poison, and her cultivation had greatly diminished, leading to her current appearance.
Moreover, the Sect Leader of the Tianshan Sect directly told Gu Yu that Shen Xue was currently the person with the deepest cultivation in the sect.
This was also her reason for not wanting Shen Xue to leave the Tianshan Sect, as she was worried she might be harmed outside.
“Yes, she’s incredibly beautiful! Of course, compared to brother-in-law’s beauty, she’s still a little bit lacking.”
“Get lost, get lost! You’ve made me curious too! When your sister comes back later, she’ll probably bring her along, and I can take a look and satisfy my curiosity.”
“Speaking of which, where did my sister go? Why hasn’t she come back for so long?”
“She took Little Red to find Xi Yang. She should be back soon.”
After Gu Yu gave his younger brother-in-law a sideways glance, the topic shifted to Gu Mengyao, and Gu Yu also felt that it had taken too long.
It was just to escort someone, it shouldn’t be too troublesome…
“Ah, I remember now. Some guests have arrived at the back of the academy, and my sister probably saw them.”
“Guests? If you tell me later, by the time they leave, I won’t even know that someone else is in the academy.”
“I was too excited to see brother-in-law, so I didn’t remember this! Let’s go, let’s go. Brother-in-law, you can also take a look at the new guests.”
“Do I know them?”
Then, upon hearing Gu Qingheng suggest going to take a look, Gu Yu did not refuse.
However, Gu Yu was also very confused about who the guests at Qingshan Academy could be at this time, and even made his little wife forget to return.
“No, I’m seeing them for the first time today too, but… oh dear, brother-in-law, you’ll know if you come with me to see.”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng immediately shook his head, indicating that he was not familiar with the other party.
Afterward, he deliberately left Gu Yu in suspense, greatly piquing Gu Yu’s curiosity.
