Chapter 1605

That damn sense of déjà vu returned.

Although the specific content was different,

Gu Hanyuan inexplicably recalled the days when he first took Wu Xingyun as his apprentice.

Speaking of Wu Xingyun and Long Xiaoyun, was he destined to have a connection with "Cloud"?

What about the "Wind" he was promised?

Gu Hanyuan's thoughts wandered for a moment, which appeared to Long Xiaoyun as if he were lost in a trance.

A flash of cunning light passed through her bright eyes.

Long Xiaoyun had already discovered that Gu Hanyuan's attitude had improved significantly after she became weak and obedient.

His tone of voice had also become much gentler.

The warm airflow treating her dantian made her feel warm in both body and mind.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyun deliberately put on that pitiful look to beg Gu Hanyuan.

Acting cute is a talent, and Long Xiaoyun was self-taught.

Although there was some deviation from what Long Xiaoyun had imagined,

Gu Hanyuan was indeed reminded of his memories of Wu Xingyun when he saw her like this.

Gu Hanyuan, having come to his senses, was silent for a moment.

He asked somewhat solemnly:

"Do you really want to take me as your master?"

Long Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly:

"Yes!"

Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly:

"You don't even know who I am, yet you want to take me as your master. Aren't you afraid you'll regret it?"

"I won't regret it. I want to learn martial arts from you."

Long Xiaoyun's tone was very firm, firm enough to raise doubts.

Gu Hanyuan asked with a light smile:

"Then tell me first, why did you disguise yourself as a boy?"

Long Xiaoyun was stunned upon hearing this.

She looked at Gu Hanyuan hesitantly.

She said with hesitation:

"My father always wanted a boy, and he even argued with my mother because of it. I know my father hopes to have a boy to inherit Xingyunzhuang. I cannot change my natural gender, but I am willing to inherit Xingyunzhuang as a boy."

The more Long Xiaoyun spoke, the lower her spirits became.

What girl wouldn't like to wear beautiful little dresses and be a beloved little princess?

Yet she had to act as the venomous and ruthless Young Master Long.

The reason she cared so much when Li Xunhuan crippled her martial arts was based on this reason.

Without martial arts, how could she inherit Xingyunzhuang?

In the end, it was still her father's education that was the problem.

Under his influence, Long Xiaoyun's perspective became narrow, and she mistook cruelty for ability.

Which of the heroes throughout history hasn't been able to command the wind and rain between righteousness and evil?

Righteousness and evil are mutually reinforcing; only by advancing together can one achieve great things.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun had clearly grown up twisted.

To straighten her out, one must first make her recognize herself.

Shedding the tomboy disguise was the first step.

Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly:

"Your vision is too small. My disciples are not the kind of trash who can only dominate in their own little corner."

Long Xiaoyun was stunned.

She only felt that Gu Hanyuan, confident and proud at this moment, seemed to be shining.

She muttered and asked:

"Then can I still take you as my master?"

Gu Hanyuan put down Long Xiaoyun, whose treatment was finished.

His deep eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a light smile:

"Kowtow."

Long Xiaoyun's face was full of ecstasy, and just as she was about to bow, she suddenly realized something.

Her small face turned beet red.

She said hesitantly:

"Should I kowtow like this?"

Gu Hanyuan said somewhat playfully:

"Why? Can't you do it?"

Long Xiaoyun only felt that her dignity was being trampled upon.

Yet this was the only chance she had to change her fate.

She suddenly remembered the expression on her father's face when he disgustedly said why she wasn't a boy.

Her eyes became firm.

Enduring the dizzying shame, she bent down and knelt.

Although Gu Hanyuan's "Cloud-Rending Palm" had cleared the sky nearby,

the temperature was still very low.

Even without snow, it was still bone-chillingly cold.

Not to mention that Long Xiaoyun had no protection at all.

Without the spiritual warmth provided by Gu Hanyuan during the treatment, Long Xiaoyun felt frozen to the bone.

However, she still kowtowed three times, trembling.

Gu Hanyuan looked indifferently at Long Xiaoyun, who couldn't get up for a moment, not knowing if it was because she was frozen or because of the shame.

He wasn't humiliating Long Xiaoyun for the sake of a twisted hobby.

Rather, he needed to make her recognize her status before straightening out her personality.

Otherwise, if she continued to grow up with her twisted personality, even if he showed her favor, she would only hold a grudge.

It would be better to break her pride first and reshape her.

Moreover, in Gu Hanyuan's subsequent plans, Long Xiaoyun would have plenty of reasons to hate him.

Gu Hanyuan had no interest in raising an ungrateful wretch.

Long Xiaoyun and Wu Xingyun were different.

Simple warmth had no meaning; moderate suppression was equally important.

The waiting time seemed exceptionally long.

Long Xiaoyun bit her thin lips, her heart full of grievances.

Tears welled up in her eyes again.

Just as she was about to lose control and let the tears fall, she felt a warmth in her body.

Gu Hanyuan's gentle voice rang in her ears.

"From now on, you are my disciple. The first thing is to put on this dress; it is both a gift and a test."

Long Xiaoyun wrapped herself tightly in the dress that had fallen on her, feeling the cold completely blocked out.

It was a red dress, bright as fire.

It seemed to fit perfectly.

This was the "Fire-Washing Dress" made of fire-rat skin that Gu Hanyuan had exchanged from the system.

It not only protected against cold and heat and remained spotless, but it could also be adjusted in size.

Of course, the most important thing was that it could nourish the body and improve cultivation efficiency.

After all, Long Xiaoyun had been delayed by her father.

She hadn't reached the level of being born with the essence of heaven and earth, so starting foundation establishment now was a bit late.
