Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 120 The road ahead is confusing

Gele's impulsiveness and Jiayu's calmness just made both of them adjust. They supported each other at the critical moment and made each other better.

This time, Geluo thought he and Jiayu were just out on a mission, a mission so dull that he found it boring.

No one expected that things would develop to this point.

At first, Geluo was helpless and refused. He was a little uneasy because some things, once they happen, can't be turned back.

After all, his relationship with that uncle was very delicate. Geluo had never mentioned it to anyone else. Once this matter was revealed, it would probably cause quite a stir.

Once those dark secrets are revealed, there is no way to recover them.

Geluo has been waiting for his uncle's answer all these years. As long as the conflict between the two of them can be resolved, the saint will no longer pose a threat.

Geluo hadn't seen his uncle for a long time, so long that he almost couldn't remember when they last met.

Geluo had promised his master that since it concerned the reputation of his master, he would endure it no matter what.

There were some things that Geluo was not very clear about. His master left him some things and asked him to hand them over to his uncle personally, and also strictly forbade him to take a peek.

The master also told him that after the uncle had looked at it, he would give him something. He had to be patient no matter what and must take back the treasure of the sect from the uncle.

Gelu had no idea what the so-called treasure of the sect was, but his master and ancestors had been very good to him, and he would never go against their wishes.

He had already handed over the things that the master had given to Geluo a long time ago, but his uncle was in a very low mood at the time, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

The master's uncle simply ordered his men to kick him out, and told Gelu not to tell anyone about their relationship, and not to take the initiative to look for him again.

If there is any problem, he will send someone to find Gler.

Afterwards, Gelu was in a state of dismay and didn't even notice that he was being followed. When Gelu found out that he was being followed, it was too late. He blamed himself for not handling the situation properly, and the Saint discovered that he had a connection with his uncle.

The Saint was clever and cunning, and was good at guessing people's minds. Although Gelu refused to admit it, the Saint guessed it roughly.

It didn't matter what the relationship between Gelu and the Supreme Elder was. What mattered was that there was something shameful going on between the two of them, and it was enough for the Saint to know that.

The saint used this to threaten Gler and made him work for her.

At first, Gler followed the saint's instructions and did a few things.

Those who work for the saint may not necessarily know what her purpose is.

The saint often assigns a task to multiple people. Each person only needs to be responsible for his own part and does not need to know the whole picture.

Things like murder and arson will be done by killers.

People like Gler, who have the Saint's handle on them, cannot participate in important links and can only do some irrelevant things such as supporting.

The saint is very cautious. She will not completely trust anyone, even those shady killers she trained herself.

There are many people working for the Saint, but her confidants can be counted on one hand.

Even the twelve supreme elders were not people the Saint completely trusted.

Before the Saint took over, they were not completely sincere in supporting the previous Saint.

It is difficult to guess what the twelve supreme elders are thinking. After the Saint takes office, the first thing she does is to win over the hearts of the people. If she cannot win them over, then she can only restrain them.

She wanted to leave Gelu behind to contain the supreme elder.

As for whether it is effective or not, only the Saint and the Supreme Elder know.

After Gler was involved in several things, the Saint summoned him and told him to just stay in the Holy Mountain, but did not tell him to do anything individually.

Gelu didn't like staying in the Holy Mountain, but he had nowhere else to go. If he stayed in the Holy Mountain, it would be easy for Master to find him.

Geller stayed in the Holy Mountain with great reluctance.

The biggest gain for Geluo from staying in the Holy Mountain is his brother Jiayu.

As time passed, things and people changed. Gelu no longer had any hope for his uncle, but Jiayu became more and more important in his heart.

If only Jiayu was involved in this incident, he could still protect Jiayu.

But he and Jiayu were both involved in the high priest's actions, so this matter cannot be explained clearly.

Perhaps someone in the temple has already discovered the abnormality between him and Jiayu.

Even if someone could prove that they were trying to save people, they would still have to be interrogated by the law enforcement elders of the temple when they return. If they couldn't explain clearly, things would be troublesome.

The Temple holds their unknown secrets, otherwise they would not have been controlled by the Temple all these years.

But now Jiayu is seriously injured, and he cannot be further injured. Jiayu will definitely not be able to withstand the perverted methods of the law enforcement elder.

If they were to take Jiayu back to the Holy Mountain at this time, they would definitely be locked up and tortured.

Gele had thick skin and could withstand severe torture, but Jiayu was seriously injured and might not be able to bear it.

The key point is that they are restless at this moment, and they will definitely make many mistakes. No matter what, they cannot return to the temple at this time to report.

Not to mention that their own lives are in danger, it is tantamount to walking into a trap and seeking death.

What's more, there is no explanation as to what happened to that girl Coral.

Gelu also regarded Shanhu as his junior. Although he didn't say it, he often thought about that naughty girl in his heart.

Although Geluo was busy treating the wounded, he was always worried about his uncle and nephew.

As for Gler himself, he is no longer that important.

Gler never accepted any apprentices because he didn't want others to follow the same path as him.

If he has regrets like his master and grandfather, then let these regrets disappear with him.

Perhaps this choice would be unfair to his master, but Gler didn't want to involve more people.

There are some things he couldn't even explain clearly, so why bother letting future generations worry about them.

Geluo has never thought about taking in a disciple, nor will he marry. There is nothing wrong with being alone.

Maybe his life is missing a part, but it must be said that he lives a free and easy life.

All the grievances and disputes were between him and his uncle. If he didn't get the answer in the end, he wouldn't feel sorry, at most he would feel sorry for his master.

As for what his uncle would think, Nagel didn't need to worry about it.

If the uncle-master was willing to give the thing to him, he would have given it to him long ago.

So many years have passed, and his uncle has heard from others about his situation, whether it is happy or miserable. But from beginning to end, his uncle never sent anyone to look for him.

Geluo had long since given up hope. Whether the thing in his uncle's hand was a legacy from his master's sect, a token from the headmaster, or some secret manual of cultivation, Geluo didn't care.

Although Gler no longer cares, his emotions still fluctuate.

Once all the years of perseverance come to nothing, all the persistence becomes nothing. How can there be no emotional fluctuations at all?

Even though Gler has a hot temper and is careless, he is still an ordinary person.

He could not forget that his life was saved by many people's sacrifices. He also could not forget his master's instructions.

Unfortunately, he really couldn't wait for the day when his uncle changed his mind.

Once he really chooses to leave and defect, the Temple will issue a hunting order for him.

He and Jiayu need to leave Shuangling Island.

Either live in seclusion forever or stay away from this island.

Maybe they will drift endlessly on the sea, or maybe they will go to other empires to try their luck. In short, the world is big, and they can go anywhere as long as they are not caught by the Temple.

But now Jiayu's injuries are so serious that Gelu doesn't know if Jiayu can hold on.

Jiayu is not someone who will escape. He will slowly accept the reality, but this reality is really cruel.

Now we can only place our hope on Monk.

In addition to Jiayu's legs, they still have many problems to face.

They had been in the temple for so many years that they had already noticed something strange about their bodies.

The saint must have done something to all the elders, but it is unknown whether the supreme elder was tricked.

Geluo and Jiayu couldn't explain what those things were.

However, the deeper their hatred for the Saint and the heavier their rebellious heart became, the more they would feel a stabbing pain in their consciousness.

Once this happens, their spiritual consciousness is at its most vulnerable. If someone really wants to harm them, I'm afraid they will find it difficult to escape.

They didn't know what insidious tricks the Saint had used. They had also secretly observed other elders, and most of them had some problems.

It's just that the problems with some elders are not obvious. Those elders worship the Saint as a god and regard her words as the golden rule without any disrespect in their hearts.

But even with such elders, some problems arose.

Some people noticed something unusual, but they thought it was a trick played by their enemies and never thought that the problem might be with the saint.

Maybe even if they knew that the Saint had done something to them, they would think it was natural!

Some people are completely unaware, and Jiayu and the others will not warn them. Even if they kindly warn them, I'm afraid no one will believe them!

The two of them did not have a good reputation in the Holy Mountain. If they spoke out, the criticism might be directed at them.

Geller and the other two were on guard against the Saint, but they still fell into her trap. I really don't know how the Saint did it.

Some elders did not show it on their faces, but they had noticed something secretly. However, just like Geller and the other two, they had no idea what the problem was.

Jiayu found that some elders had been stuck in the bottleneck of cultivation for many years. If it was just a few, it would not be surprising, but many elders in the Holy Mountain had encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation. Even if they had a chance encounter, it was difficult for them to break through.

This had long aroused suspicion among some people, but the elders were evasive and unwilling to tell the truth, trying their best to cover it up, which only made the matter more confusing.
