Chapter 89: The Embarrassing Misunderstanding!
The afterglow of sunset sprinkled down, enveloping the entire South China Sea.
The South China Sea under the sunset is even more majestic and grand, with an extraordinary momentum.
In the void, Gao Rou's clothes and hat were as white as snow, standing quietly still. Her absolutely beautiful face was solemn, her lips tightly pursed, her eyes gazing at the majestic South Sea Temple in front of her, her emotions extremely complex.
Time to go!
From now on, I will be going to the Duke's mansion, and from then on, I will be far away from the South Sea Immortal Realm. Perhaps this place in the South Sea, I will find it difficult to return again...
Nanhai City is compared to county towns, it's completely a poor and remote place.
The South China Sea and the County City are fundamentally not on the same level of existence.
Gao Rou was able to rise from a poor and remote place like Nanhai to become a member of the imperial court in one step, joining the Duke's palace.
It's a matter of great joy and shouldn't be accompanied by any sadness or reluctance.
People go to high places, water flows to low places.
It's human nature.
But Gao Rou was unexpectedly somewhat melancholy at this time.
Since she passed through the county prince's mansion, her ears have been filled with all kinds of praise and admiration, and the people of Nanhai almost want to lift her up to the sky.
But on the other hand.
She unexpectedly suffered from her father's cold treatment and the subtle attitude of many innate spirits in Lingfeng Hall towards her.
She returned to Gao's home with great enthusiasm, bringing news that made the entire South China Sea proud.
But when she saw her father Gao Daqian at that moment, she was stunned.
Because from her father's eyes, she saw an unmistakable loss and disappointment, why?
Gao Daqian gave her an answer.
That's how Gao Rou actually didn't go through him and privately used the authority of the Duke's mansion to dissolve the engagement with the Zhu family!
Gao Rou never expected that this matter would make Gao Da Qian so concerned.
The cancellation of the engagement was arranged by Master Jiang Huiyi, and Gao Rou was unaware.
She was somewhat surprised and her emotions were a bit complicated, but... thinking back again.
Gao Rou has now become a disciple of the Junwang Fu, so isn't it normal to cancel the engagement with a seventh-grade family from Nanhai?
Such things happen every day on the Chinese mainland!
The door is not aligned, the house does not face each other, and in the end, they cannot come together, this is the stark reality.
Doesn't father understand this principle?
"Xiao Rou, you're amazing! One step into the Duke's mansion and your wings have hardened! Alright, alright..." Gao Daqian said coldly, his expression unusually disappointed, with a hint of sourness in his tone.
"Since it's your own choice, as a father I hope you can achieve great things and in the future be able to tread on the path of immortality that our generation of cultivators has always dreamed of!"
Gao Daqian finished speaking and slowly disappeared into the depths of the vast Cloud Dream Lake behind the Gao family's mountain.
Gao Rou gazed in the direction where her father had disappeared, her lips moving as if she was about to speak.
"Your voice can't imagine what Zhu Yu will become in the future, don't deceive young and poor, don't insult young men, you're too young... it seems that I was wrong to let you worship under Jiang Hui's door back then..."
Gao Rou stood there in a daze, while Gao Daqian had already disappeared without a trace, and it was unknown where he had gone.
Bamboo fish!
Father actually has such high expectations for Zhu Yu?
Is this guy... really worth expecting so much from?
Gao Rou doesn't understand and is hard to comprehend.
All sorts of things that had happened between her and Zhuyu floated into her mind.
She had to admit that after going through so many things, the image of Zhū Yú in her eyes had undergone a huge change.
This guy is quite deep and definitely not as superficial as he appears on the surface.
Gao Rou still remembers the first time she interacted with Zhu Yu, at that time in her eyes, Zhu Yu was just a scoundrel, a thorough and utter rascal, a lump of rotten mud that could never be plastered onto a wall.
But it was this mess of rotten mud that repeatedly clashed with her.
And as the Innate Master, she was unexpectedly left in the dust time and time again.
What left a deep impression on Gao Rou was their adventure in Yunmengze.
That was absolutely the most humiliating and unbearable experience Gao Rou had ever had in her life.
She is so proud and strong-willed.
Unexpectedly... she was completely stripped of all her external possessions by Zhu Yu.
Gao Rou is also afraid of death!
Facing death, her fear caused her to completely lose control, and she actually hugged the crucian carp tightly in her arms, refusing to let go.
Fairies also eat and drink, their bellies are not clean either, they also need to go to the toilet.
The proud fairy can also eat "Qian Du Ge Gen" that others have pulled out of their belly.
At that time, Zhu Yu was a nightmare in Gao Rou's heart, a demon who made people go crazy but had no way to deal with.
Even now, thinking of all these things, Gao Rou still holds an extremely complicated attitude.
Because of this, Gao Rou's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, all thanks to that one life-or-death experience with Yun Mengze.
For a cultivator pursuing the swordsmanship of killing, what is gained between life and death always transcends the cultivation itself.
"The One-Word Wisdom Sword" is known as the top sword technique in the world of swordsmanship, and the essence of its killing moves can only be understood when fighting for life and death.
There would be no miracle of Gao Rou stepping into the Duke's mansion today without Yun Meng Ze's journey.
Standing quietly in the void, a lofty and gentle mind is running wild with imagination.
She made a surprising discovery that all her worries and emotions were actually related to one person!
This person is Zhu Yu.
Father's attitude because of Zhu Yu.
Gao Rou had originally planned to go to Nanhai Temple's Lingfu Hall today to bid farewell to his former colleagues.
But Lingfeng Hall didn't have anyone waiting for her, as if no one cared whether she came to say goodbye. An old man on duty at Lingfeng Hall told her so.
Today is the Elite Hall Challenge Day of the Academy. The Lord of the Temple has issued an order, and all members of the Lingfu Temple have rushed to the Elite Hall.
Jingying Hall Challenge, today's participant is Zhuyu!
Recently, there has been a lot of talk in Nanhai Temple and throughout Nanhai about her and Zhuyu breaking off their engagement.
The carp is despised and humiliated by others, even attacked and ridiculed.
Perhaps it was because of this that many masters in Lingfu Hall didn't have a good impression of Gao Rou.
The strong in the fairy world are respected and worshiped!
But not everyone is like that, Gao Rou is just a passerby for Ling Fu Tang, while Zhu Yu is the future hope of Ling Fu Tang.
Gao Rou took a step forward and entered the Duke's mansion, where countless people rushed over to hug her thigh, as if they wanted to dig out their heart, all in order to establish a connection with her.
But there are always people who watch all this with cold eyes...
"Do not deceive young poor men, do not deceive young gentlemen!"
His father's words were simple and straightforward, yet they seemed not to be his alone.
"It's time to go!" Gao Rou took a last look at the majestic South Sea Temple, let out a sigh, and turned away.
Just then, a burst of light suddenly appeared in the direction of the South Sea Temple.
Next moment.
The entire hospital's defensive array was activated, and within tens of kilometers, the air was filled with a dazzling display of colorful lights...
Gao Rou was stunned...
This is...
The protective array of the South Sea Temple, the grand protective array has always been taken care of by the Lingfu Hall. Could it be... could it be that these arrays suddenly opened up to see me off?
Gao Yu Jing quietly watched this magnificent and beautiful scene.
The South China Sea Array is composed of 1,800 large, medium and small arrays.
Extremely grand and spectacular when opened.
The entire South Sea Temple was shrouded in a thick layer of misty light.
The South Sea Temple in the midst of the radiant light, shining brightly, looks even more grand and majestic, with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
"Too beautiful!" Gao Rou said softly. Women love beauty by nature, and at this moment, Gao Rou not only thought it was beautiful, but also felt a little excited.
The whole hospital formed a symbolic array to see me off, it's really touching.
She was shocked in the midst of the magnificent and majestic symbol array. At this moment, the Nanhua Institute's Sound Gui Symbol Array started up.
Inside appeared a rich magnetic, extremely low male voice:
"Disciples of Lingfeng Hall, listen up! I am Zhuque Xiu Yuan. Today, all disciples gather for a grand feast to celebrate with Zhuyu, celebrating his becoming one of the 108 elites of Nanhai Academy! Zhuyu's challenge to the Elite Hall is the first successful case in the thousand-year history of Nanhai Academy where a black-robed disciple successfully challenged the Elite Hall!"
Such success will be recorded in the history of Nanhai Temple and will also inspire countless disciples of Lingfeng Hall to move forward bravely...
The sound of Lingfu Temple's distant chanting.
His voice is sonorous, rich in magnetism and extremely passionate.
"Th...th..." Gao Rou's face suddenly turned red for no reason, and she was stunned.
Next moment.
Nanhai Institute's Elite Hall direction, as the majestic Challenge Hall of Elite Hall opens with a loud bang.
In an instant, countless black and red robe disciples rushed out of the hall, and in a moment, the square outside was filled with thousands of people.
These disciples were all passionate and enthusiastic, one by one they cheered and applauded, wholeheartedly expressing their joy and passion.
The square became an ocean of joy.
It was unclear who started it, but the chaotic cheers suddenly became uniform and synchronized.
Everyone shouted in unison: "Zhu Lao Da is invincible, Zhu Lao Da is domineering..."
Everyone shouted together and jumped together, gathering in front of the Elite Challenge Hall.
Then, Gao Rou finally saw a black-robed youth with a smile on his face walking slowly out of the gate, looking relaxed and carefree, but somehow feeling somewhat sly and unscrupulous.
Bamboo fish!
That's a crucian carp!
The vermilion fish charged into the crowd, waving its hand, and all the disciples of Lingfeng Hall cheered in unison. He was like a triumphant hero, and at this moment, he was the only protagonist of Lingfeng Hall.
Gao Rou slowly backed away, slowly.
The distant din gradually became farther and farther away, those people she once knew also became blurred, but her gaze still couldn't move away.
It left just like that, much lonelier than I had imagined.
These days, all the glory she brought into the Duke's mansion seems to have faded away...
The South China Sea and the county town belong to different worlds, this world is no longer hers...
