Chapter 799: If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your disciple!
After Zhuge Qian entered, he looked around.
Although the courtyard was not large, it was quite exquisite and clean. In his opinion, this place was definitely better than Qingmu City, where the clinic was absolutely simple and old.
"these are……"
Zhuge Qian's gaze suddenly fell on two strange plants in the courtyard.
One is a short white tree with a seven-colored fruit on it, and the other is a thick green vine that grows intertwined and coiled together, already very tall, almost reaching the courtyard wall.
Now that he is a celestial cultivator, he can see more in the ways of things.
These white trees and green vines are clearly not ordinary things!
Although it looks quite ordinary.
But that seven-colored fruit seemed to be harboring an extraordinary power, while the green vine was much more eerie; Zhuge Qian even felt that the green vine was watching him!
"Oh, I planted those to add some greenery to the yard."
"But so far I've only planted two, and the yard is still quite monotonous. I really can't help but laugh."
"Come, sit down."
Gu Heng led Zhuge Qian to sit down at the stone table, and Xiao Bai, who was always efficient, quickly brought out the brewed hot tea.
"Brother Gu, who is this gentleman?"
Zhuge Qian realized that the handsome young man who had come up to serve tea on Gu Heng's orders was not simple either.
Those eyes didn't look human. And after just one glance at them, Zhuge Qian felt a strange heaviness in his heart, as if he were being oppressed.
"This is my pet. He's actually a dragon, but I turned him into a human. He looks much better, right?"
Gu Heng was just speaking casually, and Xiao Bai obediently served tea without saying a word.
dragon?
pet?
Brother Gu actually keeps dragons as pets?
but.
Zhuge Qian wondered if it was just his imagination.
When Gu Heng said, "It looks quite pleasing to the eye when it becomes human," he clearly felt the corner of the boy's mouth droop slightly.
This dragon also has a bit of a temper.
Zhuge Qian was somewhat puzzled, but it was no wonder that the boy's eyes were so intimidating. It was said that the dragon race was the head of all living beings, the strongest in every aspect, and the stronger the bloodline, the more powerful the innate dragon might.
When a person makes eye contact with a dragon, the person is usually the one whose legs go weak first.
"Didn't Brother Gu used to have a nine-lives demon cat?"
“She’s not a pet; I treat her like family. Besides, she has big ambitions now and doesn’t come to my place often, although I really miss the days of petting cats…”
Gu Heng thought of Su Jinxi, and he also missed her very much.
Unlike missing Qin Yiyao, since Qin Yiyao couldn't turn into a kitten and lie obediently in his arms for him to pet, and Su Jinxi, that big cat girl, did indeed give him feelings.
Nothing special, just mature charm.
And she even called him "brother," which would be too much for anyone to handle.
"Come on, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's have some tea. We have a lot to talk about." Gu Heng pushed the brewed hot tea in front of Zhuge Qian.
"it is good!"
Looking at the fragrant tea in the cup, Zhuge Qian knew without guessing that it must have been brewed from the finest tea leaves.
Although Brother Gu's residence has always been simple, it contains countless treasures, with many of them of high quality!
All I can say is that I should get used to it.
"Since leaving Qingmu City, I have moved around to many places, but finally I have decided to settle down here."
"Brother Zhuge, you have great ambitions. You've already become the disciple of that Immortal Venerable Fang Chen. It seems that your forging and cultivation will be a meteoric rise."
Gu Heng started by flattering him.
"Oh, Brother Gu actually knew that?"
Zhuge Qian was astonished.
Since their last meeting, he knew nothing about Gu Heng's life afterward, but it seemed like Gu Heng had been paying attention to him all along? But that didn't seem to be the case.
“I went to the Lesser Mystic Realm before, to the Twilight Moon City of the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom, and I even watched your forging competition. The audience below the stage watched with great interest.”
"However, I didn't go to see you at the time because I had other things to do. Please forgive me, Brother Zhuge."
Gu Heng expressed his apologies.
"..."
Zhuge Qian naturally remembered that competition.
This is too much of a stomp on newbies.
He didn't find it interesting.
Although his opponent, who was from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, was also renowned, he wasn't much of a threat to him.
He was indeed incredibly talented in forging. In the entire Little Xuantian Realm, apart from that Immortal Venerable Fang Chen, everyone else was weaker than him in forging skills! And now, even Immortal Venerable Fang Chen was no match for him in forging comprehension and technique.
"Brother Gu, what do you think of my performance in that competition?"
Zhuge Qian asked.
"Hmm, to tell the truth?"
"Speak freely."
"I think that competition was really boring, too bland and not very interesting. As for Brother Zhuge's performance, I think he has improved."
Gu Heng originally went there to observe, but after observing for a while, he really couldn't see anything he could learn.
And it really is boring.
Gu Heng would never have said that to anyone else, but he and Zhuge Qian were old acquaintances, so no one would take such words to heart.
Besides, back when he was still in Qingmu City, his forging competition with Zhuge Qian involved hammering out works one by one, which wasn't very entertaining and took a long time. To put it bluntly, forging competitions aren't suitable for public display.
"Heh, to be honest, Brother Gu, I am also currently troubled by many things and unable to obtain what I desire."
Zhuge Qian took a big gulp of fine tea, as if trying to wash away all the bitterness in his heart.
"how do I say this?"
"As for me, I no longer have a master."
"what?"
"Although that Immortal Venerable Fang Chen is the number one blacksmith in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm, my skill level has completely surpassed his!"
"But I still want to continue to refine my skills, but I can't do that in a place like this!"
He spoke eloquently there. Gu Heng, on the other hand, remained silent, for he could also hear the melancholy in Zhuge Qian's words, a feeling of "how lonely it is to be invincible."
It's too Versailles.
But I never expected that Brother Zhuge's abilities would be so amazing!
Even a dignified immortal is no match for him in forging!
"Impressive, impressive! Brother Zhuge, have some tea."
Gu Heng didn't say anything and directly poured tea for Zhuge Qian.
His old acquaintances had all become such giants in the field, and he didn't know what to say but could only express his admiration.
"What's so great about it?"
"You know, I lost to you twice, Brother Gu. When it comes to forging, you have more authority than I do."
Hearing Zhuge Qian so vividly recalling past defeats, Gu Heng chuckled. "Brother Zhuge, you flatter me. Although we did have a contest, that's all ancient history."
"The past is the past, the present is the present."
I guess I was able to defeat Zhuge Qian back then because of the system's good teaching. As for now, it's hard to say.
Moreover, he doesn't forge much anymore.
The last time he forged a weapon was to make a handy one for Qin Yiyao. Since then, his forging furnace has never been hot again; it's freezing cold.
but.
Zhuge Qian shook his head.
He stared at Gu Heng and said, word by word, "In the Xuan Tian Realm and the Lesser Xuan Tian Realm, when it comes to forging, if I say I'm second, then only you, Brother Gu, can say you're first!"
"Brother Gu, let me be frank. I have come here to learn!" "I humbly request that you, Brother Gu, impart to me the true pinnacle of forging techniques!"
talking.
Zhuge Qian immediately stood up and performed a standard apprenticeship ceremony.
Gu Heng was completely stunned.
"Brother Zhuge, you..."
"You want to learn forging from me?"
"Yes! If Brother Gu doesn't mind, I would like to become your disciple!"
Zhuge Qian spoke with utmost seriousness.
"...Uh, we might have misunderstood something."
Gu Heng was numb.
No, buddy, just because I was better than you before doesn't mean I'm better than you now!
That's really difficult!
