Chapter 21
The matter of Zhang Sanfeng's hundredth birthday celebration concluded here. Although it wasn't perfect because of Zhang Wuji, Song Yuanqiao was already very satisfied.
He said to Gu Hanyuan with a face full of smiles:
"Hanyuan, I didn't expect you to have silently broken through to the Innate Realm. Third Brother has been crippled for many years, and our care for you, nephew, has been insufficient. In the future, if you have any questions about martial arts or life, you can ask us senior uncles at any time. As for today's events, you handled them very well. Remember not to tarnish the prestige of our Wu Dangpai when you walk the Jianghu in the future."
"Hanyuan being able to break through to the Innate Realm is also thanks to Senior Uncle granting me exceptional access to the Library Pavilion. Otherwise, Hanyuan would not be where I am today."
Gu Hanyuan naturally understood Song Yuanqiao's meaning; he was worried about his lack of sense of belonging to the Wu Dangpai, which was why he had specifically instructed him.
In fact, Gu Hanyuan didn't care about this; after all, he had only transmigrated to this world a few days ago, and the original owner was a quiet little transparent person. As for expecting a modern person to have a sense of belonging to a sect, that was pure nonsense.
Of course, he was quite satisfied with his status as a Wu Dang disciple; the Wu Dangpai was very strong in this world, and being able to borrow their influence was enough.
Song Yuanqiao nodded with satisfaction; he had always liked disciples who were humble and polite.
Moreover, Gu Hanyuan's talent was extremely high, and he was the future of the Wu Dangpai, so he liked him even more.
As for Song Qingshu losing his status as the number one of the younger generation of Wu Dang, he had never cared about that in his heart.
"Hanyuan, why don't you come with me to see how Wuji is doing?"
"Very well, Senior Uncle. Hanyuan is also somewhat worried about Junior Brother Wuji's condition."
This was, of course, nonsense. If there were no accidents, Zhang Wuji certainly wouldn't die, and the suffering of the cold poison would also be unavoidable. The main point was to see Yin Susu and strive to harvest some more villain points tonight. He was planning to leave Mount Wu Dang in a while, and his martial arts were still lacking.
On the way to the backyard, he didn't expect the system to provide another evaluation. But this time, it was an evaluation of the entire hundredth birthday event. SS-grade evaluation, 5000 villain points.
Saving Zhang Cuishan appeared beneficial to Zhang Wuji on the surface, but although Zhang Cuishan was a man of deep affection and righteousness, he was slightly pedantic. At the very least, he would absolutely not agree to Zhang Wuji becoming the leader of the Ming Sect.
Although Yin Susu also survived, given her relationship with Gu Hanyuan, it was equivalent to planting a time bomb.
Gu Hanyuan had farmed reputation, and the counterfeit Dragon-Slaying Saber had also deceived the world.
If one really calculated it, the only point deduction might be for maintaining the prestige of the Wu Dangpai.
Receiving the lowest level of SS-grade evaluation was reasonable.
Major events indeed had high returns, and he had more expectations for the future siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects.
For example, if the six major sects and the Ming Sect were all wiped out at Bright Peak, he wondered if there would be an SSS-grade evaluation?
The two soon arrived at the backyard.
The elders of the various temples and the Seven Heroes were all waiting outside a side room.
Everyone came over to greet them after seeing Song Yuanqiao and Gu Hanyuan.
They were especially curious about Gu Hanyuan, who had silently broken through to the Innate Realm and had made a stunning debut today.
Daoist Priest Chongxu of the Zhenwu Temple, True Person Yucha of the White Cloud Temple, Daoist Priest Tianxu of the Shangqing Temple, and Daoist Priest Ma of the Yuxu Temple were all quite friendly toward Gu Hanyuan, mostly encouraging him or hoping that Gu Hanyuan could exchange martial arts with their younger disciples.
Although Daoist Wood was also very kind and cordial on the surface, Gu Hanyuan could clearly feel the wariness in his eyes toward him; he was probably worried that Gu Hanyuan was growing too fast, which would affect his future plans.
The vast majority of the Wu Dang Seven Heroes had met Gu Hanyuan before; although they hadn't discovered his extraordinary nature at the time, they were all happy for him.
Especially the youngest, Mo Shenggu, had the greatest favor for Gu Hanyuan, patting his shoulder and praising him constantly.
After all, Mo Shenggu had the most hot-blooded temperament, and he had been full of anger today after being forced by the various sects.
Later, seeing Gu Hanyuan angrily confront Kongwen was as refreshing as drinking a bottle of ice on a hot day.
Although Zhang Cuishan was worried about Zhang Wuji, he also came up to offer a few perfunctory words of encouragement.
Gu Hanyuan felt somewhat strange in his heart looking at Zhang Cuishan, but fortunately, he didn't show it on his face, remaining humble and polite.
Yin Susu, who was on the side, felt indescribably strange when she saw Zhang Cuishan and Gu Hanyuan interacting; it was as awkward as it could be.
Especially when Yin Susu saw Gu Hanyuan giving her a suggestive look past Zhang Cuishan, her heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan didn't come up to interact with her, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only after a while that Yin Susu recalled Gu Hanyuan's suggestive look, and after pondering for a long time, she thought he might want to communicate with her privately.
In fact, she also had many things to ask Gu Hanyuan.
Yin Susu subconsciously felt that there might be a connection between Gu Hanyuan and Wutian; otherwise, why would he have come to the door so coincidentally today, and even brought news of Xie Xun and the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
If there were no Wutian, even if Gu Hanyuan could confront them again today, it would at most cause a clash between the Wu Dangpai and the various sects.
Even if they survived today, the subsequent trouble would be no less.
Instead, because of Wutian, the trouble on Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu suddenly disappeared.
If it weren't for Zhang Wuji at the end, Yin Susu would have liked to find an opportunity to thank him.
After everyone waited outside the door for an hour, the door was finally opened.
After Zhang Sanfeng walked out the door, everyone surrounded him, asking about Zhang Wuji's condition. ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
