Qin Li: Senior Brother Gu Truly Deserves to Be the Eldest Senior Brother!
"Junior Sister Qin."
Gu Chen put on his shirt, walked out from the roof, looked at Qin Li, and tentatively asked:
"But what happened?"
Qin Li looked Gu Chen over and confirmed:
"Did Senior Brother Gu intentionally let us sense his breakthrough?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly fell silent.
To be honest, he didn't expect to break through today.
To my surprise, Junior Sister Qin's senses were so sharp that she actually noticed my breakthrough.
Seeing Gu Chen's expression, Qin Li smiled slightly.
"Then I understand, Senior Brother Gu is not young."
Gu Chen shook his head helplessly and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Li:
"Junior Sister Qin's perception is truly sharp."
"You flatter me Senior Brother Gu."
Perhaps because it was as if a secret had been discovered, Qin Li's smile deepened as she spoke.
"What is Junior Sister Qin's current cultivation level?" Gu Chen asked, changing the subject.
"I am far inferior to Senior Brother Gu," Qin Li said immediately.
Gu Chen shook his head. "I understand now."
Qin Li smiled, then said:
"Although Senior Brother Gu's cultivation level is not as high as Shen Wentian of the Shen Clan, if he activates his bloodline, winning shouldn't be too difficult."
"Ah?!"
Gu Chen paled in shock, staring at Qin Li in disbelief:
How did you even know that?!
Seeing this, Qin Li gently shook her head, clearly showing a hint of helplessness:
"Senior Brother Gu, your ambiguity makes it difficult for me to determine whether these actions were intentional."
How could Senior Brother Gu, who is usually quite reliable in his work, be in such a state today?
Such a strong reaction right now could hardly be a genuine expression of emotion.
Considering the Five Symbols Sect's cultivation style, it's almost safe to say that this was likely staged.
But.
She was very certain whether Gu Chen possessed the bloodline, and what the level of that bloodline was.
It was truly unexpected.
Having stayed at Hidden Origin Peak for so long, he had sparred with Senior Brother Gu several times to a fever pitch. Relying on his combat experience from his previous life, he had even tried to get Gu Chen to use or do things that he didn't know about.
But who could have imagined it would turn out like this?
That's why the other party wants me to know they have bloodlines, so I can find out.
They've kept it hidden for so long; they're truly capable of hiding it and have real composure.
In addition, this is a reaction that would be considered quite extravagant by normal standards.
In an instant, Gu Chen's image in Qin Li's mind became even more extraordinary.
"There's not a single simple person around Master."
With a sigh, Qin Li said to Gu Chen:
"Senior Brother Gu truly lives up to his title as the eldest brother."
Before Gu Chen could even ponder the meaning of her words, she continued:
"However, Senior Brother Gu need not worry too much about the upcoming betting battle."
Even if something unexpected happens, we're still here on the sidelines. You just need to focus on what you need to concentrate on.
After a pause, Qin Li thought for a moment and then said:
"If you, senior brother, do not wish to reveal too much of your strength or methods in the gambling battle, I can also provide a simple method."
"How can it be simple?" Gu Chen, somewhat surprised.
"Cheating," Qin Li said.
Gu Chen frowned slightly, and Qin Li said:
"As long as Senior Brother Gu is willing, this matter is by no means difficult. I've already made almost all the preparations. It just depends on whether the Shen Clan will passively cooperate with me."
Gu Chen shook his head:
"Let's proceed normally, otherwise something unexpected might happen."
The ability to maintain secrecy is indeed very appealing.
However, if the system does not accept the final result.
That would be a waste of time.
It might even have the opposite effect, making it more difficult to complete the task later, thus making it a losing proposition.
"Okay." Qin Li nodded, not at all surprised by Gu Chen's reaction.
"Anyway, I have faith in Senior Brother Gu's abilities."
"Senior Brother Gu, please continue your cultivation. I won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, Qin Li got up and left.
Gu Chen stood there for a long time, and finally sighed softly:
"It seems I haven't been able to concentrate lately."
This breakthrough felt like he'd revealed all his secrets to his junior sister.
Shaking his head, Gu Chen returned to the house and continued his cultivation.
Another place.
Lu Changzhi withdrew his attention, shook his head and smiled:
"Having lived two lives, his perception is practically superhuman."
Although he did indeed give Qin Li a cheat code, Qin Li still didn't have any interface to view.
Even if they exist, they are all subsystems, and they cannot see each other.
Even that subtle fluctuation of energy was detected and analyzed by Qin Li.
Gu Chen's startled reaction just now didn't seem like an act at all.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Lu Changzhi got up and went out into the courtyard.
Xiao Ming was lying lazily on the ground in the yard. Perhaps because the yard wasn't big, he wasn't controlling his size too much.
"You've been spending so much time lounging around here lately. Once this egg hatches, it can recognize you as its mother," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ming stood up abruptly.
Its upper body was straight, as if it were trying to imitate a human standing upright, and it even deliberately stuck out its feathered buttocks forward, presenting a certain posture.
Lu Changzhi glanced at it, then smiled and exclaimed in admiration:
"Not bad, it's really small."
"Chirp--"
A flash of red light, and Xiao Ming crashed right into him, as if he wanted to kill Lu Changzhi.
Lu Changzhi casually raised his hand, grabbed Xiao Ming, and tapped Xiao Ming on the head:
"Xiao Ming, you're a bird, not a person, so how could you possibly be a bird?"
While speaking, Lu Changzhi deliberately covered Xiao Ming's mouth to prevent him from getting wind in.
Feeling helpless, Xiao Ming tried to kick his legs, but ultimately failed.
After petting Xiao Ming, Lu Changzhi put Xiao Ming back on the ground.
Xiao Ming didn't charge again. Instead, he turned his head to look at the ground, then turned back to look at Lu Changzhi. He raised his wing, pointing the tip in a certain direction, and then drew a "?" on the ground with his claw.
Seeing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and immediately understood what Xiao Ming meant, saying:
"You want to know what happened there?"
The spot that Xiao Ming's wingtip pointed to was none other than the place where the Black Tortoise egg had been buried earlier.
Xiao Ming nodded.
How should I tell you this?
Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment.
"Got it."
After saying that, Lu Changzhi raised his hand and picked up a hoe.
With his other hand, he grabbed Xiao Ming and said:
"It's hard to explain to you, but I can let you experience it."
After saying that, Lu Changzhi stuffed Xiao Ming into the pit.
"Chirp--"
Resistance was futile; Xiao Ming let out a mournful cry that echoed in all directions.
