Gu Hua Wei woke up before walking into the attic.

There was no other reason. It was that Taoist Dean Lan who had a guilty conscience. He felt that he had no sense of responsibility and was worthy of the title of the head disciple under Elder Jin Quan.

"Eat something before you sleep." The old face was finally not as red as before. Qin Lan handed Gu Hua a fragrant sesame seed cake with hazy and sleepy eyes.

"Alright, thank you, Immortal." Gu Hua Wei rubbed his eyes and took the sesame seed cake from the cultivator's hand. Only then did he realize that his stomach was growling in embarrassment.

"Good boy." Rubbing Gu Hua's small head, and ignoring Li Xiaoming's almost resentful gaze, Erlang Lan finally got back some of his sense of satisfaction.

"Oh." Gu Hua nibbled at the hot and soft sesame seed cake with her mouth full of saliva, making Li Xiaoming, who was holding the sesame seed cake, unable to eat anymore. He must be starving, because he wanted to keep it for her!

As he thought this, he wiped away the saliva at the corner of his mouth and placed the sesame seed cake into his bosom. The Refinement Stage disciple at the side saw this and was moved and said, "Don't keep it. Hurry up and eat it. There's more." That voice was filled with an indescribable tenderness. This was truly a great friend.

"Oh, oh." Seeing Gu Hua's tiny mouth move without stopping and without eating much of the sesame seed cake, Li Xiaoming continued to eat …

Come.

The corner of Qin Guan and Lan Xin's mouths twitched. Indeed, pure emotions had already taken root between children. He was such a soporific, wuwu … He hid in a corner and cried.

After dinner, Qin Lan and two Refinement Stage disciples brought Gu Hua Wei Wei and Li Xiao Ming directly to the Cloud Central City's Nine Regions Mountain Range. The Cloud Sect, which had existed for a thousand years, was located there.

Along the way, the sounds of insects and nocturnal joss-sticks blooming shook the ears. From time to time, there would be the sounds of boring beasts chirping in the air. The diligently blue sword flipped over the hills in the night, and the Refinement Stage disciples followed closely behind.

Gu Hua was bored to death as she looked at the mountain peak pass by her in a flash. She curled her lips and cursed in her heart. Just how big was the Yun Sect?

There were no less than a dozen or a hundred mountains. It couldn't even be considered a small hill. There were quite a few pavilions located on the mountainside and summit; it was obvious that there were people living there.

"Immortal, is this a place where Immortals live?" Gu Hua was slightly lying down as she hugged the Qi Condensation young man. He was acting cute in the blink of an eye and his eyes were twinkling like the stars in the sky.

"This is one of the one hundred and eighty-four peaks of the Cloud Sect. Every peak has disciples assigned to it, and some of them even have elders." The Qi Condensation disciple really liked the little girl in his embrace. She was still young, she didn't cry or make a fuss, and she wasn't afraid of being born. He didn't mind talking to her more.

"Aren't you afraid of living on the hilltop?" Gu Hua looked at the Qi Condensation disciple's serious expression with a slightly confused expression and was very curious. If she were to live on in a mountain by herself, wouldn't she be scared to death?

"The sect has its own protective spell formation to protect its disciples. There are no demon beasts roaming about, so it's very safe."

This meant that the inner section of the Cloud Sect was actually very safe. They could walk around as they wished and weren't afraid of any beasts in the nearby mountains.

"Then, where will I be staying?"

Miss Gu was extremely curious about this. Who knows, she might not be a errand runner from some mountain peak? Who knows if she might be lucky enough to catch the eyes of some more handsome master or not? Gu Xiaoluo's writing doesn't have any ugly characters at all …

"You went to the herb store under Adept Jade Bamboo." This young lady went to the most inconsequential place in the outer sect. She spent her time taking care of the herbs, and the pills she received were very few, and the quality was also very poor. Furthermore, she didn't have much time to cultivate, and was often bullied by the inner sect disciples.

She was only five years old.

"Oh, is it an herb?" Gu Hua remained calm and innocent. "But I don't know how to …" As he spoke, he was on the verge of tears.

What kind of plot was this? She wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

The Refinement Stage disciple saw that she was starving all the way and didn't even cry. Now that she was about to cry because she didn't know how to grow medicinal herbs, the pity in his heart soared and he quickly climbed on board. He quickly patted his chest and comfortingly said, "Today, after sending you back, I'll find you tomorrow and teach you."

Gu Hua was slightly dazed as she stared blankly at the Qi Condensation disciple. She pursed her lips but didn't cry. This could be considered an unexpected gain.

"Alright." Gu Hua narrowed her eyes and laughed as if her face had changed. "Immortal, don't forget."

"That won't happen. A person who cultivates the Dao is worth a thousand taels of gold." Seeing Gu Hua's smile, the Qi Condensation disciple let out a sigh of relief and seriously said, "In the future, just call me senior brother Zi Yuan. Don't call me immortal, I have my own guilt."

This was the title of the man who had become an immortal. He was just a disciple under Elder Mingyue. Although he had received the title of true disciple, it was his duty to do so.

"Senior brother Ziyuan, thank you." Gu Hua opened her mouth and spoke sweetly. Her eyes were as curved as a crescent moon in the middle of the night. Dark light flickered within her black pupils, appearing very beautiful.

Although Zi Yuan looked dazed in her eyes, it was only for a split-second. He snapped out of his daze, chasing after the other Refinement Stage disciple who had left them far behind.

Three rays of light shone brightly in the moonlight. Not long after, they crossed one hundred and eighty-four peaks of the Cloud Sect, circled around it once, and stopped at the highest peak that pierced the clouds. Gu Hua estimated that this was probably the mountain where the Cloud Sect's Sect Leader resided.

This main peak was filled with strange stones and flowers. Layers upon layers of trees covered this peak, and the clear and bright air was like a midnight orchid blooming in the middle of the night. It was soul-stirring and refreshing, making one feel very comfortable and clean.

Several disciples on night watch held their swords as they guarded the path towards the peak. Their bodies were straight, their faces were delicate, their temperament was clean, and they were full of righteousness, causing Gu Hua to exclaim, "As expected of a great cultivation sect."

Zi Yuan put away his sword with Gu Hua Wei Wei Wei, but didn't walk straight forward like Qin Lan and the other Qi Condensation disciple. He only called Qin Lan and said, "Martial Uncle, please wait for a moment. I will leave first."

Qin Guan Lan turned around, her eyes glazed over. She seemed to have thought of something and smiled. "That's good. Let's go and settle down."

"Disciple will take his leave first." Holding Gu Hua Wei, Zi Yuan once again rode on his sword, but Miss Gu's eyes were dark as she looked at the spot where Li Xiaoming had disappeared.

"Senior Brother, am I not with my brother?" Gu Hua tugged at Zi Yuan's sleeve. "Daddy said to let little brother Xiao Ming be with you."

"You all …" Hearing this, Zi Yuan's heart turned cold. He wanted to explain, but all the words were stuck in his mouth, making it hard for him to explain. He tried hard to search, trying to explain, but he could only squeeze out a few words, "It's not the same."

You are different.

Because of this, she didn't have the right to see the Sect Leader, and because of this, she had no other choice.

They were different.

Gu Hua lightly closed her mouth and didn't ask Zi Yuan any more questions, but her large eyes gave off an unprecedented feeling of tranquility.

She'd been worried about whether the Yun Sect would make a comeback and climb to a higher position. But now, it looked like she was only doing her best at the end of the day, and the gains were not even worth the losses.

She and Li Xiaoming were different. One was in the sky while the other was in the earth. Everyone knew that she was the only one who was still daydreaming and did not understand the current situation.

Perhaps, in order to succeed, she had gone berserk.
