"Little guy, you're pretty awesome!" Seeing that Guhan had returned to normal, Liu Lei slowly walked in front of Guhan.
"Guhan greets Sword Immortal Cloudy Sky!"
When Guhan saw Liu Lei, he immediately bowed. This made Liu Lei's expression slightly better, but it was still very ugly. "Alright, come with me to the Discipline Committee. Tell me, how should you deal with your crime of forcefully synchronizing?"
Although Liu Lei didn't really want to lock up Guhan for a year or two because of his love for talent, it was still necessary for him to be locked up for a month or two.
It was also good to cut down this kid's spirit.
This Guhan actually dared to violate Sword Pavilion's rules. If he didn't get a taste of his power, wouldn't this kid be able to ascend to the heavens in the future?
"Tsk tsk, I didn't think that the first thing this heroine does after coming out is see her sword bearer being taken to the Discipline Committee. Tsk tsk, this is really interesting!"
Yi Tian had unknowingly sat on the chandelier on the ceiling. She was swaying back and forth like she was sitting on a seesaw.
"Oh right, it seems like I used to go to the Discipline Committee with that ugly freak to play for a few days. Those old fogeys in the Discipline Committee were really nice to this heroine. They treated me with good wine and good meat. I really miss it!"
Yi Tian said leisurely, causing the people under her to wonder what exactly Yi Tian and her sword wielder had done a few hundred years ago, treating a place as terrifying as the Discipline Committee of the Feng Shui Sect as if it were a restaurant.
"Ahem!" Liu Lei coughed, "Alright, you two, come with me."
"Senior Yun Xiao, it's naturally not a problem for me to go with you. But, why do you have to bring this kid to the Discipline Committee?" Gu Han had an expression of "I don't understand", a look of being wronged.
"You don't understand?"
Liu Lei was so angry that his eyebrows were raised. He pointed at the guide and said, "You, come here and tell him why he wants to go with me to the Discipline Committee."
"Yes!"
The guide walked over timidly. She was actually very reluctant to answer Liu Lei's question, because if she really answered, she would offend Guhan again.
Previously, Guhan had only been an Ancient Sword Tier swordsman. Whether or not he could successfully synchronize himself to become a Treasured Sword Tier swordsman was still a big question mark. This guide had the backing of the Sword Pavilion, so he really wasn't afraid of Guhan.
However, once Guhan became a treasure-grade sword-wielder, and a treasure-grade sword-wielder of the Heavenly Sword at that, things would be different.
In front of a treasure sword wielder, he was nothing more than a fart. If the other party wanted to deliberately deal with him … there was no need to directly target him. Targeting his relatives and family would be enough to make him suffer for the rest of his life.
However, this guide did not dare to not answer Liu Lei's question. What a joke. Liu Lei was an immortal sword saint rank, and he was also his superior. It would be absurd to offend him.
"Lord Guhan did not pay the Hero Coins and directly synchronized with Lady Heavenly Sword Tier. This violated the rules of the Sword Pavilion."
The guide first honestly recounted Guhan's sins, and then quickly added, "This is also my fault. Firstly, I might not have explained it clearly, and Lord Guhan did not react in time. This is all my fault, all my fault."
'I have already covered for Lord Guhan and shouldered part of the responsibility. Now, Guhan should not be so petty as to bear a grudge against me, right?' the guide thought silently.
Actually, throughout the entire process, other than being a little bad-tempered and snobbish, this guide basically did not do anything wrong.
She had done what needed to be done, and she had reminded Guhan of what needed to be done. She could be considered to have done her job. She should not have shouldered half of the responsibility and taken the initiative to take the blame.
But she still took the initiative to bear it. This was the sorrow of a small fry. Ordinary people who did not become sword bearers had to bear this sorrow. After all, their lives were built on the battle strength of sword bearers. Everything had its own destiny.
Seeing this guide say such words against her will and take the blame for Guhan, Wu Yu's face was full of helplessness and grievance.
Gu Han felt bored in his heart. Acting cool was not as enjoyable as it was said to be!
"Alright, you can go. This has nothing to do with you. You already reminded me before I touched Heavenly Sword. You have already done your job. You did not do anything wrong," Guhan said.
"..." The guide did not know what to say. She could only look at Guhan with a face full of gratitude. The hatred and disgust she had for Guhan instantly disappeared without a trace. She even treated Guhan as a very good person … It was clearly Guhan who caused her to be in this situation, but she was sincerely grateful to Guhan. It was because Guhan had helped her and not pushed her.
Many years later, when this guide was old, she would take a large poster of Guhan and show it to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She would proudly tell them that their grandmother had spoken dozens of words to Guhan and received help from Guhan. This made the younger generation feel sincere admiration and envy towards their grandmother.
Alright, let's not talk about the topic anymore. Back in the sword pavilion.
Liu Lei looked at this scene with a chuckle. After Guhan asked the guide to leave, he said, "What, you admit your guilt? You can come with me to the disciplinary committee now, right?"
"I still can't go!" Guhan shook his head and rejected Liu Lei once again.
"Heh, I'm going to be angry now!"
Liu Lei angrily put his hands on his hips. "Brat, this old man is a dignified immortal sword wielder. Every second, I earn a few hundred hero coins. You f * cking dare to fool me?"
"I wouldn't dare. How would I dare to wash away Sir Sword Immortal's name? It's just that I really didn't break the sword pavilion's rules. I followed the rules."
Guhan smiled and raised his arm. "Senior Yun Xiao, I have a message to send to your terminal. You'll understand why I didn't break the sword pavilion's rules after you read it."
"Alright, I want to see what you're capable of!"
Liu Lei and Guhan touched each other's terminals and became friends with Guhan … Guhan was in luck this time. He actually became friends with an immortal sword wielder.
This was equivalent to becoming friends with a member of the Politburo before the apocalypse … If you showed off your WeChat and showed that you were friends with XX Xi or XX Li, you could brag about it for the rest of your life.
However, Liu Lei was only the second immortal sword wielder friend in Guhan's contact list. The first was Wuzhang Shifang. After all, he had promised Guhan that as long as he fulfilled the conditions, he would take Guhan as his disciple. It was necessary to leave a contact number for easy communication.
After adding Guhan as a friend, Guhan sent a picture to Liu Lei. When Liu Lei saw the picture, his expression changed several times. In the end, he had no choice but to nod. "Alright. Although I'm very unhappy, you really didn't break the sword pavilion's rules."
Hearing Liu Lei's words, everyone began to whisper among themselves. Just what kind of news would make the Pavilion Master unhappy but still approve of Gu Han's actions?
"Could it be something from Sword Maiden Online …" Suddenly, someone had a flash of inspiration. "Isn't there another rule in the sword pavilion? If you can successfully synchronize with this sword maiden in the game, then you can waive the Hero Coin fee."
"… Oh right, how could I forget that …" Realization dawned on everyone. According to the sword pavilion's rules, if you wanted to synchronize with a top sword maiden, you had to either hand over a Hero Coin or successfully synchronize with the sword maiden in the game.
Most sword wielders used Hero Coins to synchronize with each other. Very few people used Swordmaidens in the game. Therefore, many people would forget about this rule. For example, the guide had completely forgotten about this rule.
If she had remembered better, she would have asked Guhan about the game, and things would not have turned out this way.
Fortunately, only a few people who had fought with Guhan knew that Military Governor had the Heavenly Sword in the game. Most people did not know that the Military Governor's sword maiden was the Heavenly Sword. Those who were present rarely played games. Some of them did not even know who the Military Governor was. No one associated Guhan with the Military Governor.
"Senior Yun Xiao, since I didn't break the sword pavilion's rules, I'll take my leave."
Guhan, who had successfully obtained the Heavenly Sword, prepared to leave the sword pavilion. It was exciting to show off and then run.
"Wait!"
Liu Lei muttered. "You can't leave yet. The Heavenly Sword Maiden is very important. I have something to tell you. Come to my office."
"Yes!"
Guhan did not hesitate and immediately obeyed Liu Lei's order. How could he reject an immortal sword wielder's invitation to his office?
It did not seem like a bad thing.
Under everyone's envious gaze, Guhan followed behind Liu Lei and slowly walked to the elevator on the second floor. Then, he used the elevator and went straight to the sixth floor, where Liu Lei's office was.
According to the standard construction model of the sword pavilion, the first floor was where the ancient sword maidens were stored. The second floor was for treasured swords, and so on. The third floor was for famed swords, the fourth floor was for spiritual swords, the fifth floor was for immortal swords, and the sixth floor was for emperor swords. The security on each floor was stricter than the one before.
As the Sword Tower Master, he had set up his office on the sixth floor, alone with the Emperor Sword. This way, if anyone wanted to take the Emperor Sword, they would have to get past Liu Lei, a Celestial Sword Tier sword wielder. Unless it was an Emperor Sword Tier sword wielder, a Flood Tier or a Desolate Tier Yuan Shen, it was impossible.
Liu Lei's office was very large, but the layout was very simple. There weren't any fancy decorations, only thick books. Gu Han noticed that many of the books were protected by high-tech bookshelves. Books that needed to be protected by high-tech protective equipment should all be precious books from before the apocalypse.
For example, Guhan noticed that there was a book called "Three Years of Simulation of Five Years of College Entrance Examination: Mathematics" in an obvious position. This was a rare treasure, and there were less than ten of them left in the world. If someone passed one down to their descendants and sold it, they would not have to work for 200 years.
"I don't have many hobbies, but I like to collect these books. The mistakes we humans made in the past were too stupid. We descendants tried our best, but we only recovered seven to eight percent. Sigh." This was the first thing Liu Lei said after entering the office.
"Sit!" Liu Lei pointed at a chair in the room. This was the second thing he said.
"From now on, you are my disciple." This was the third thing he said.
