Chapter 107: Gu Feng's Rebuke
Chapter 107: Gu Feng's Rebuke
It wasn't unusual for Gu Feng to receive such treatment, as long as he could demonstrate talent and potential far beyond his peers.
In any sect, they would be pampered and protected as much as possible.
Demon defense on the front lines was a regular occurrence.
Even ordinary disciples could play a significant role.
But if they encountered Earthly Demons, or even Heavenly Demons, attacking...
Then ordinary disciples could only watch from the sidelines and stay as far away as possible.
During such times, only the top experts could step in to stop these calamities.
And Gu Feng, a Heaven-Born talent, was destined to become one of the top experts in the future.
People like him were naturally given more leeway by the sect and the common folk.
Other disciples wouldn't dare voice any objections.
After all, as soon as they opened their mouths, they would immediately be silenced by a single sentence: "Would you go and deal with the Heavenly Demons?"
This one sentence was enough to leave many disciples speechless, unable to respond.
In the courtyard, as soon as Gu Feng returned, he instructed his attendants to call Gu Wei and Gu Yu over.
He had already heard about the mid-year examination results.
After about two hours, Gu Wei and Gu Yu arrived.
As they reached the courtyard entrance, both of them walked slowly, as if they couldn't move any faster.
"Every time I return to the sect, you two would be the first to come over.
What's wrong today that I have to send someone to invite you before you come?"
Gu Feng picked up a cup of tea from the stone table, and took a sip.
Hearing their older brother's words, Gu Wei and Gu Yu's faces were filled with embarrassment.
Especially Gu Wei, her expression was particularly gloomy.
Self-blame, self-pity, disappointment...
All sorts of emotions seemed to be mixed together, and then they all stuck to her.
"Lift your spirits, don't think that by acting like this, I won't scold you.
Think carefully, during your cultivation and tempering, have you been wholeheartedly dedicated?
If you are half-hearted in your cultivation, your strength will also be half-hearted.
Before, I was only worried about Gu Yu, I didn't expect you, Gu Wei, to have problems."
At this moment, Gu Feng's words were not at all polite.
Gu Wei and Gu Yu stood to one side, neither of them spoke.
For Gu Yu, this situation was already familiar to him, and it wasn't the first time he had been scolded.
On the contrary, it was the first time his sister was scolded with him, which made him feel a lot less pressure.
Before, he was always scolded alone.
His sister would occasionally add to the scolding.
"Have you finished reading the 'Pool Abyss Response Method' I gave you?"
Gu Feng's gaze swept over the two of them.
After a moment of hesitation, Gu Wei still shook her head.
"Older brother, that book is really thick, and many of its contents require dedicated study.
It's impossible to finish it in a short time.
Moreover, I didn't win against Su Chen, not because..."
Hearing Gu Wei's explanation, Gu Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
"From what you've said, I've already figured out the reason.
Gu Yu lacks the heart of a strong person, always belittling himself, lacking a bit of pride.
And sister, you're being too ambitious, losing your down-to-earth attitude."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei still wanted to refute.
But her brother didn't give her a chance to refute.
"The more you argue, the more you prove your inner impatience.
What kind of talent and potential do you think a disciple expelled from the Yunyang Sect would have? If you couldn't suppress such a person within ten moves, what more is there to say?
If sister still wants to be stubborn, then I, as your brother, can only make you meditate in seclusion for a month to reflect."
Hearing the words 'meditation in seclusion', Gu Wei finally softened.
Lowering his gaze slightly, he revealed a pitiful expression.
Seeing this, Gu Feng sighed and stood up.
After all, they were his younger siblings, and he didn't want to be too harsh on them.
"You still have a long life ahead of you, and a single competition doesn't determine anything.
But I hope you two will remember this competition and learn from this shame.
When you feel tired in your cultivation, think back to that day's events.
Think about how you once lost to such a person, and this shame will clear your fatigue, motivating you to continue your cultivation."
In the courtyard, after Gu Feng's speech, his younger siblings remained silent.
After a while, Gu Feng returned to his room and took out two objects, which he gave to the two of them.
"Alright, don't keep looking so glum.
I'm not scolding you, is that enough? Take these things and go study them; it will be beneficial to you."
After receiving Gu Feng's gifts, the expressions of the two siblings improved slightly.
"Now, let's talk about that day's mid-year examination. What exactly happened?"
The attendant brought some snacks and placed them on the stone table.
Seeing that Gu Feng wasn't angry, he pushed Gu Wei and Gu Yu to sit by the stone table.
After sitting for a moment, Gu Wei glanced at her brother and began to speak slowly.
"During this time, I've been thinking about that day's competition every night.
At first, I thought there was something wrong with my temperament.
I was too flustered, so I couldn't see through those deceptive moves and changing techniques.
But as I thought deeper, I realized that Su Chen isn't as weak as we thought."
Hearing Gu Wei's words, Gu Feng, sitting beside her, showed disappointment once again.
However, this time, he didn't interrupt his sister's words.
"When I watched him make his moves, I felt his sword techniques were quite ordinary.
The intention to deceive was apparent on the surface.
But when I stepped into the arena and fought him, I found that these seemingly simple deceptive moves were actually difficult to discern.
Moreover, his body movements were also exceptional."
Listening to this, Gu Feng seemed unable to bear it any longer.
He waved his hand, indicating to Gu Wei to stop talking.
Then he turned to Gu Yu.
"He is, after all, the top disciple of this batch, and he does have some strength."
Gu Yu's response seemed to echo Gu Wei's thoughts.
"So, you think this Su Chen is more talented and has more potential than the two of you, is that what you mean?"
Hearing Gu Feng's question, Gu Wei immediately shook her head.
"Brother, that's not what I mean.
If I use my full strength, I can naturally defeat him.
And I don't think Su Chen can catch up to me.
I just want to say that Su Chen isn't that bad.
In terms of cultivation, although he's not as good as us, he does have some talent and strength."
This response slightly relieved Gu Feng.
"I thought my proud sister would become a meek and obedient little brother.
Retain the pride in your heart, but also remember this shame.
If there's another opportunity, go and fight Su Chen again.
Set a goal for yourself, and within three moves, you must suppress him.
Win the competition with an absolute advantage."
Yunyang Sect Frontline.
The Yunyang Sect's two Heaven-Born Disciples had also arrived at the frontline.
After investigating the frontline affairs, more and more people began to mention Su Chen's previous contributions.
Although the Yunyang Sect's upper echelon had never spoken about it publicly.
