Chapter 69
I opened my eyes suddenly, the spring light outside the window was just right, and there were birds singing in the mountains.

Gou Yue felt her heartbeat, once, twice, three times...

Fortunately, my heart is still beating.

It is said that people who jump off a cliff will begin to regret seeking death the moment they step into the air. Gou Yue thinks that is what she thinks. She should not be seeking death after losing a whole game of chess.

Even if that person takes advantage of her, she shouldn't torture herself.

She got off the bed and saw her eyes as bright as stars in the mirror, so she smiled. Although it was a little forced, she finally woke up from a big dream and was no longer confused.

Yao'er didn't knock on the door, thinking she was still unconscious, so he opened the door and came in.

When he saw her sitting on the spring bench, he ran to her in a few steps and said, "Senior sister, are you feeling better?"

Gou Yue hummed and asked, "Where are the master and mistress?"

Yao'er hesitated, "Sister, please sleep a little longer."

"I have rested, don't worry."

Yao'er's scalp was numb and he didn't know how to convey the master's order to her.

The senior sister has been in a coma for two days. Just yesterday, the master told her that as soon as she woke up, he would ask her to go to the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation in the basement.

The basement is full of traps, and at the very end is the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation. I don’t know which skilled craftsman the master invited to build it, but no one in the master’s sect has ever been able to successfully break through the trap.

If you can no longer survive, you only need to drop the three black stones in the basement on some of the mechanisms inside, and the mechanism will be delivered to the master. This is begging for mercy.

But this time, the master closed all the mechanisms for calling for help.

In other words, she must break out, otherwise she will die inside without anyone to save her.

She was afraid that her senior sister would be worried, so she didn't take the initiative to talk about it, thinking that it would be a temporary delay.

Then he thought of that person, "Senior sister, when you were brought into that room by the master, there was a fight outside the door. Did you hear it?"

She seemed to have remembered, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Senior Sister, you don't know yet. That day, someone had a fight with a disciple in order to save you. I think it was a knight who took action after hearing Senior Sister's cry of pain. Do you know that person?"

Gou Yue didn't know who she was talking about.

"Who is he and what does he look like?"

Yao'er approached her and said, "I went to the mountains to find him, and I found him. His name is Lin Xiaofeng."

Gou Yue had never heard of such a person in the world, "What weapon do you use?"

"The sword is a very thin sword with a hilt that is as red as blood. Senior sister, you didn't see it. Dozens of disciples surrounded him and used our Ordinary Hall's sword array to deal with him, but he was able to do it with ease!"

"Can't the sword array trap him?"

"Later, it was my mother, oh, Master, who used her housekeeping skills to drive him away, so he didn't get better and left temporarily. The master said that he must still be in the mountains and told us not to go out until he has finished handling your affairs. Then go and deal with him. But in my opinion, the master may not be able to deal with him. I think that although the man is young, his swordsmanship can turn strength into force. I see that he does not seem to have murderous intent, otherwise there will definitely be someone in our hall. There’s going to be blood.”

Listening to her bragging about her enemies, Gou Yue raised her forehead and said, "You little fool, if that person is an enemy of the Ordinary Hall, do you still dare to go find him?"

Yao'er stuck out her tongue, "I didn't think too much about it. I just thought he could save senior sister from going out, so I went to look for him."

Gou Yue's voice became cold, "I don't need anyone to save me, and this is not my burial place. You must never trust strangers in the future."

Yao'er knew that it was difficult to convince her, so he had no choice but to tell her, "Master wants you to break into the basement. You can't leave until you break through. It won't work even if I kneel down and beg him. You'd better run away quickly."

"Escape? Why?" Gou Yue tied up her long hair, revealing her smooth forehead.

She felt that the senior sister must have been knocked unconscious by the master a few days ago, "Do you know how scary the basement is? Can anyone in our hall come out from the back door of the basement?"

Gou Yue just smiled, "How do you know if you don't try?" She touched her senior sister's forehead, "When Ah Qin was still here, he asked you to go to the basement with him, and you were afraid of losing your life. This time What happened to you?"

She said, "After that, things were different."

What's the difference? Yao'er wanted to ask her.

"Master gave you acupuncture yesterday. I don't know what it was for. I always felt bad. If he treated your injury, why would you be so sleepy that you vomited blood? It can be seen that it was a poisonous needle. You angered the master this time. He I won’t give you good fruit to eat.”

I have never seen her think the best about her master. Gou Yue patted her head and said, "What are you thinking about every day? No matter how angry he is, I am his disciple who teaches me step by step. He will never harm me."

"If he doesn't harm you, can he ask you to go to the basement?"

Gou Yue understood him, and after a long time he said, "That's the fastest way for me to improve my skills."

"Improve your skills. Why do you suddenly want to improve your skills?"

"Master performed acupuncture yesterday to unblock the sealed large acupuncture points on my body so that I could slowly restore my internal strength."

She was overjoyed, "Sister, can you practice internal strength now?"

She smiled and said, "Yes, I will be able to practice internal skills and mental skills in the future."

Yao'er was still worried, "He helped you recover your inner strength, and then asked you to seek death. How did you turn around?"

Gou Yue couldn't explain everything, so she just said, "You have to trust the master."

"He asked me to trick you back and tortured you until you were unconscious. How can I trust him?" Yao'er became angry when she thought about it. Her father was so aboveboard that he would use her to do this.

"It's not his fault." Gou Yue said.

"Anyway, senior sister, you should run away quickly. You can practice martial arts anytime. There is no need to risk your life. Also, if you risk your life for a man and go to the basement, then you are no longer worthy of being my senior sister!"

Seeing that she was getting serious, she couldn't help but put her arms around her shoulders and said, "Oh, what's the matter? It's okay to go to the basement for yourself, but not for a man?"

Yao'er threw her arm away, "You can still get rid of the arrogance of a man, but don't you know about the arrogance of a woman yourself?"

Gou Yue said nothing.

"Are you doing it for the man? I know. It's for him, right?"

"For whom?" Gou Yue asked unintentionally. Yao'er would not know about her past, so Gou Yue was not worried.

"Not at all -" Yao'er was just about to say it wasn't worth it, but then he remembered that man stayed in the ordinary hall for fifteen days, visited her every day, and used his body to nourish Gu and became a Thousand Days Drunk to treat her serious injuries.

She softened her heart for a moment. If it was for him, it would be worth it.

He would risk his life for her, but it would be fair if it were his senior sister who would do it for him. The most feared thing between men and women in this world is fetching water from a bamboo basket.

"It's worth it. It's somewhat worth it for him. If it were me, I would also give it a try for him." Yao Er said emotionally.

She saw that the girl was angry and happy at times, and wondered what she was thinking, "What are you talking about?"

She held her shoulders and said, "Senior Sister, I know I can't persuade you anymore, but Senior Wife said this matter should be treated as if no one in the Ordinary Hall knows about it, and let it go like this. I think you should know."

Gou Yue took off her earrings, put on her arm guards, and spoke to her wordlessly, "What should I know?"

She talked about what happened back then.

She was still young at that time and did not go out often.

There were very few outsiders in the Ordinary Hall, so he was obviously an uninvited guest.
