Fairy, please don't do this!

During this period, Gu Jinzhao's battles in the Demon Suppression Tower naturally did not escape her perception.

That's why it seems even stranger.

When Gu Jinchao fights demons, he can always accurately find their weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow.

Unless encountering a powerful monster, they are almost invincible.

Gu Jinzhao picked up the porcelain bowl, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, "Isn't it already recorded in the sect's 'Records of Demons'?"

Yu Fengzhi gave him a meaningful look: "What the sect records is only a small part."

Once the demons inside the Demon Suppression Tower are eliminated, they will soon reappear, and they come in various forms.

There were some monsters that she had never even seen, let alone known their weaknesses.

But Gu Jinchao could see right through her at a glance, as if he had eyes specifically designed to see through weaknesses.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Jinzhao finally confessed, "To be honest, besides swordsmanship, I also cultivate the Way of Destiny, which is why I can deduce my opponent's weaknesses."

He naturally couldn't admit that he had already farmed these monsters in the Demon Suppression Tower to the point of being sick of them in the game.

Even with my eyes closed, I know where their Achilles' heel is.

Yu Fengzhi looked bewildered: "When did you begin practicing the Path of Destiny?"

Gu Jinzhao patiently explained: "Before joining the Qingyun Sect."

This was a prepared explanation, sufficient to conceal his "predictive" abilities.

As for Gu Jinzhao, who has completed the game five times, his understanding of these monsters is truly unmatched.

Yu Fengzhi was half-believing and half-doubting: "Then tell my fortune."

Gu Jinzhao asked with a smile, "What does Martial Uncle want to calculate?"

"Consider it my marriage..."

Yu Fengzhi originally wanted to say the word "marriage," but thinking of everything that happened last night, she quickly changed her words: "When will I be able to break through to the fourth rank?"

Gu Jinzhao pretended to perform hand gestures and quickly came to a conclusion: "Within half a year."

According to the game's storyline, Yu Fengzhi advanced to the fourth rank within half a year after finishing her rotation at the Demon Suppression Tower.

Yu Fengzhi glanced at him: "If I can really break through the realm within half a year, then I will believe you."

Gu Jinzhao put down the porcelain bowl, his expression turning solemn: "I hope my uncle will keep this a secret."

"I can keep your cultivation of the Heavenly Mandate Path a secret."

"But the fact that I passed the sixth level of the Demon Suppression Tower cannot be kept secret."

Yu Fengzhi knew that practicing the art of cause and effect and destiny would easily bring disaster, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Gu Jinzhao nodded: "That's how it should be."

Yu Fengzhi pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Since the Path of Destiny is a secret to you, why are you willing to reveal it to me?"

Gu Jinzhao said sincerely, "My master is my guide on the path of cultivation, and can be considered half a master."

"Since he is your master... what is there that cannot be said frankly?"

This is no exaggeration.

After Wan Qingsong introduced him to the family, he abandoned him and stopped caring about him.

Although he never beat or scolded me, he was by no means a competent master.

If Yu Fengzhi hadn't taken pity on him, even if he had brought him wine every day, she probably wouldn't have given him any guidance on cultivation.

Therefore, compared to Wan Qingsong, Yu Fengzhi is more like Gu Jinzhao's master.

"Master..."

Upon hearing this title, Yu Fengzhi's expression became slightly subtle.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the novel called "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Yang Guo, whose martial arts skills were all taught by Xiaolongnü, did not call her his master, but instead addressed her as "Auntie".

Yang Guo disliked his former master Zhao Zhijing and feared that cursing him would implicate Xiaolongnu.

This situation is somewhat similar to her relationship with Gu Jinzhao.

However, in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," Xiaolongnü and Yang Guo ultimately became a divine couple...

Yu Fengzhi realized she was overthinking things and quickly changed the subject: "Do you resent your fourth senior brother?"

Gu Jinchao shook his head and smiled, "As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on yourself."

"Being able to join the Qingyun Sect is an incredible opportunity for me."

"Moreover, if it weren't for my master guiding me into the path, I wouldn't have been able to embark on the path of cultivation, let alone form a bond with my uncle."

To him, Wan Qingsong was nothing more than a villainous NPC, so he wouldn't invest too much emotion in him.

"You have a very open-minded personality."

Yu Fengzhi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed somewhat at a loss. She quickly picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip of wine.

But what does the phrase "unable to form a bond with my martial uncle" mean?

Is it hinting at something?

Gu Jinzhao was still plotting in his heart that by labeling Yu Fengzhi as "Master", he could make her give up any other thoughts.

In this way, the matter of the Crimson Lotus Sword can gradually fade away.

But he never expected that Yu Fengzhi was so good at imagining things and had already begun to win him over.

"By the way, Uncle-Master, on this trip to Cangxing City, I stumbled upon a secret realm and gained some fortuitous opportunities."

"Among them are several bottles of pills, which may be useful to my martial uncle."

Gu Jinzhao seemed to remember something and took out several jade bottles from his bosom.

His uncle had helped him a great deal, and it was only right and proper for him to return the favor.

How can a pot of wine a day be enough to repay the debt?

Fortunately, the trip to the Moonshade Mountains was very fruitful, yielding a considerable number of medicinal pills.

Some of it was given to Aunt Ruo, a little was kept for myself, and the rest was just enough to show respect to my uncle.

Yu Fengzhi shook her head and declined, saying, "You can keep it. Pills that help increase cultivation are of little use to me."

She was stuck at the fifth rank, not because of a lack of elixirs, but because she lacked a bit of insight.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Gu Jinzhao had no choice but to give up: "Then, Martial Aunt, please accept these two bottles of Jade Beauty Pills."

"I'm a grown man, keeping this is useless to me, it's just a waste."

Jade Beauty Pill, as the name suggests, will give you a jade-like glow after taking it, and keep you clean for a month.

This elixir is useless for men, but it is highly sought after by women and can be called a high-priced "beauty product".

Lian Yu carried mostly these kinds of pills.

"In that case, I will accept it."

Yu Fengzhi casually took it and put it into her bosom.

But the next moment, she suddenly remembered that she never seemed to wear makeup.

So, this was bought especially for her?

Is this merely out of filial piety towards his uncle?

Gu Jinzhao has been sending her wine every day and buying her storybooks to keep her entertained; such thoughtfulness is more than enough.

Could it be that he really has feelings for me?

But I am his senior uncle, we are of different generations.

That's not right either. Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" were exactly like that.

Yu Fengzhi became increasingly flustered as she thought about it, and her beautiful face gradually flushed red.

Fortunately, both of them were drinking, so Gu Jinzhao didn't notice: "It's getting late, and I should go cultivate as well, so I won't disturb you any longer, Uncle."

Having said that, he got up and left the cave.

As for the calico cat, it was already so happy that it didn't want to leave.

As soon as they left the cave, An Wanxi's voice rang in their ears: "Your little husband is quite good to your martial uncle!"

“My martial aunt treats me well, so naturally I should treat her well in return.”

Gu Jinzhao walked briskly towards Qingping Peak.

An Wanxi said with interest, "You're so considerate, sending wine, storybooks, and even the Jade Beauty Pill. Aren't you afraid she'll misunderstand?"

"How could that be?" Gu Jinchao shook his head and chuckled, "She is my martial aunt, and also half a master."

As long as he never mentions his beloved, allowing Yu Fengzhi to gradually forget about her, and given that he doesn't have the "filial piety corrupted" like in the game, he shouldn't develop romantic feelings for her for the time being.

In this light, the female lead's storyline for the martial arts master seems to be stable.

Next, as long as I use the "Six Elements True Demon Technique" to quickly improve my strength, all the troubles will be easily resolved...

Chapter 33, Junior Sister's Fierce Offensive

The outer sect of the Qingyun Sect has the Nine Sword Pavilion, while the inner sect has the Three Sword Peaks, which correspond to the sect's nine basic sword techniques and three core sword techniques, respectively.

The Nine Minor Sword Techniques were derived from three core sword techniques: the Green Lotus Sword Technique, the Lone Goose Sword Technique, and the Startling Dragon Sword Technique.

Just like a professional classroom in a modern university, every morning, elders would come to teach swordsmanship and impart knowledge, whether it was the Nine Swords Lodge or the Three Swords Peak.

As the two were talking, they had already reached the top of Qingping Peak.

Before the morning mist had dissipated, the cliffside sword platform of Qingping Peak was already bustling with people, with disciples sparring in twos and threes or gathering to discuss swordsmanship.

In the bamboo grove, a graceful figure in a green dress was practicing swordsmanship alone, all by herself.

"Junior sister."

Gu Jinchao walked slowly closer.

"Please enlighten me, senior brother!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Qingci's eyes flickered slightly. She lightly touched the bluestone with her toes, and her figure suddenly transformed into a white shadow, piercing straight towards Gu Jinchao's brow.

This sword strike came with incredible speed, like duckweed floating on water, leaving no trace, yet it contained a hidden, gentle strength. Before the sword's edge even arrived, its energy had already forced open the three-zhang-long morning mist.

She was using the "Qingping Sword Technique"!

Gu Jinchao raised an eyebrow slightly, his left hand still behind his back, but his right hand was already on the hilt of his sword.

"Clang!"

A flash of cold light, the two swords clashed, and the sound of metal striking stone reverberated through the bamboo forest.

Lin Qingci's sword stance was not yet withdrawn; her figure spun gracefully, and her sword moves flowed like water.

The most important aspect of the "Qingping Sword Technique" is the unity of mind and will, allowing the sword to move at will. Wherever her sword passed, the morning dew on the bamboo leaves trembled as if drawn by it.

Water droplets suddenly rose into the air, then transformed into fine raindrops in the next instant, pouring down!

She actually turned dew into rain and used water to control her sword!

Clearly, Lin Qingci, as a second-time player, has reached an even more terrifying level of mastery in swordsmanship.

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Jinzhao's eyes, but it was instantly concealed by the light of the sword.

He moved slightly, and his sword aura suddenly changed, like the blazing sun overhead, slashing horizontally with his sword!

In an instant, all the raindrops evaporated.

Lin Qingci's sword was also deflected by three points, and the sharp sword light grazed her ear, severing a strand of her hair.

"Senior brother's sword... is so powerful."

Her face was slightly pale, and there was a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her lips, indicating that the fight had aggravated her injuries.

Gu Jinzhao took out a pill from his pocket and held it to her lips, his tone slightly reproachful: "Your injuries haven't healed yet, how could you be so reckless?"

"Qingci just wants to master the Qingping Sword Technique as soon as possible so that he can protect himself if he encounters danger in the future."
