Chapter 77 Facing Destiny
Chapter 77 Facing Destiny
Gu Zhuowang looked up at the seat.
Xiu Hu Zhenren just sat there, looking at him with a smile on his face, a smile full of kindness and encouragement.
As the words fell, people's attention gradually focused on Gu Zhuo. His head, which had been soaked in alcohol, became much more sober and his expression obviously became much more serious.
Everyone who answered the question before knows how far away they are from being the best in the world. Even if they drink and sing tonight and say a few wild words according to the wishes of their elders, it will definitely be false, a wonderful dream that will never come true in the real world.
However, Gu Zhuo is different.
Because of the conflict before the start of tonight's banquet, many geniuses present had opinions about Gu Zhuo, but no one doubted his strength and talent, otherwise why would they secretly complain in their hearts and wait until the next day to see the outcome?
Someone had already started fighting.
If among the young geniuses participating in the banquet tonight there is anyone who will reach the pinnacle of the world and be called the best in the world in the future, the most likely person must be Gu Zhuo.
There is no one else but him.
Gu Zhuo didn't say anything, seeming to be thinking.
Only Lin Wanyi, who was close enough to him, vaguely realized that this was not the case.
It was quiet.
Anxiety gradually arose in the room because everyone was confused.
Some even thought he was being pretentious.
The two big men sitting next to Master Xiu Hu were very good at cultivating their qi, so they were naturally not angry because of the long silence, but they were still somewhat unhappy.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zhuo shook his head slightly and said seriously, "No need."
After hearing these words, everyone was very confused and thought, if you don’t want to, you can just refuse directly. What do these three words mean?
Xiu Hu Zhenren smiled and said, "Do you think the price I paid for your divination is too high?"
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the room.
It turned out that the previous question was part of the divination, and Xiu Hu Zhenren was fulfilling his promise. After many people realized this, they quickly recalled the stupid things they had just said, and they suddenly became uneasy and looked worried.
Gu Zhuo looked at him quietly, shook his head again, and said, "It's up to you to decide your fate."
This sentence is very profound and can be interpreted in many ways.
The most direct one is of course that destiny is determined by oneself, without the need for others to watch.
Xiu Hu Zhenren was silent for a long time, and the emotions in his eyes were revealed without any concealment, and were clearly seen by everyone.
In the end, all these emotions turned into sad sighs.
The old man looked at Gu Zhuo and said with emotion: "You are right."
After saying this, he seemed to have a strong feeling in his heart. He stood up and walked towards the terrace, his figure looking a little desolate.
In the eyes of the people here, there is no doubt that this reminded the old man of some painful memories, and he could no longer sit still.
Out of respect, no one would disturb him at this time, leaving him in silence.
Many people admired him and wanted to get closer to him. They felt that this old man was truly straightforward and much better than those so-called big shots who always liked to cover up things.
Only one person knew that the moment Xiu Hu Zhenren walked through the venue and reached the terrace, his face suddenly turned pale, his facial features twisted and squeezed together silently, and he looked extremely painful.
Blood kept rising from his throat, seeping through his teeth, covering his lips, and staining his stubble red.
His eyes were bloodshot, and then turned white in the blink of an eye, losing all their luster, like a dead fish.
Just then, the cool night breeze brought him some relief.
Master Xiu Hu took a deep breath, forced himself to get rid of the pain that kept coming from his soul, took the wine jug from his waist and took a big gulp.
The wine spilled everywhere, covering up the taste of blood and allowing him to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.
It was not until this moment that he had time to recall the previous scene, and he felt scared.
After Gu Zhuo said the first sentence, Master Xiu Hu subconsciously used his secret method to deduce the other party's secret.
However, he never expected that what he saw was... a strange and detached scene that he still cannot understand.
It was as if the whole world was overlapping, countless bizarre scenes emerged, and nothing could be seen clearly.
This was something he had never encountered since he mastered the secret skills of heaven.
He was sure that if Gu Zhuo had not said the second sentence in time, allowing him to escape from those scenes... perhaps by now he would have already lost his mind and soul and died on the spot.
What exactly is going on?
Although he had not broken through from the Guiyi realm, his soul was extremely strong due to the fortuitous encounter that year. How could such a thing happen? Suddenly, Xiu Hu Zhenren recalled the four words that Gu Zhuo said.
——You choose your own destiny.
Destiny is above the human world, who is qualified to take it for himself?
It's impossible that Gu Zhuo has already obtained the destiny, and what he did before was... facing the destiny?
This explanation makes sense.
But he couldn't believe it.
"Who are you?" Xiu Hu Zhenren murmured to himself.
……
……
The atmosphere at the banquet was silent.
Gu Zhuo looked at the little monk and said seriously, "I'm sorry."
The Immortal Monk knew why he apologized, shook his head and said, "You have tried your best today, it's my fault that I didn't do it properly."
What the two of them were talking about at this moment was naturally a matter of support.
The young monk had also answered the question of who was the best in the world not long ago. Just as he had been proud of it before, the answer he gave made the three elders, who in a sense acted as referees, smile and applaud without reservation.
If nothing unexpected happens, the God of Tomorrow will spread what he said tonight.
This was enough of an explanation to satisfy those Zen masters who were optimistic about the little monk.
Unfortunately, Gu Zhuo was singled out by Master Xiu Hu.
"Then I'll go first."
"……it is good."
The young monk wanted to say something to Gu Zhuo, but couldn't think of anything, so he had no choice but to agree.
Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi left the table.
The two of them left in a low profile, but they did not forget to do what they should do - take the pot of pear blossom snow away.
Leaving from the side door, you avoid seeing the bustling lights of the main entrance, and step on the shadows cast by the green trees, feeling the cool breeze.
Lin Wanyi put her hands behind her back, raised her head slightly, looked at the leaves moving in the wind, and said, "You seem to be in a bad mood?"
“It’s just average.”
Gu Zhuo admitted it straightforwardly and said, "I have encountered a troublesome matter now. I don't know what to do for the time being. I can't help but feel a headache when I think about it, so my mood has also become normal."
Lin Wanyi frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Because of Xiuhu?"
Gu Zhuo noticed that the word "real person" was not included in the words.
Does this mean that Lin Wanyi had no respect for this person from the beginning?
"Ah."
He said: "It has something to do with Xiu Hu, but the main reason is still my own fault, so it's not his fault."
Lin Wanyi was confused and thought to herself, what kind of nonsense is this? You two have never met before, right?
Why did this happen all of a sudden?
After a moment of silence, Gu Zhuo suddenly asked, "Do you have any news about the summer festival?"
Lin Wanyi was really shocked this time.
If she understood correctly, then the meaning of this sentence should be... Gu Zhuo wants to know the specific details of this year's summer festival?
She knew very well that although her friend's temperament seemed as gentle as a spring breeze, in fact, pride was deep in her bones and she was completely unaware of it.
How could someone like this actually have the thought of cheating?
What is going on here?
Lin Wanyi came back to her senses and smiled sweetly, her beauty beyond compare.
The girl said proudly: "Then you finally asked the right person!"
The reader who said that I was asking for monthly votes... Actually, that is an option that comes with publishing chapters. I have never turned it off before. I am not really asking for votes. I would be very grateful if you can subscribe to support me.
