Chapter 60: Is the Master of the Sutra Repository the Master's Sister-in-Law?



Chapter 60: Is the Master of the Sutra Repository the Master's Sister-in-Law?

"I will make you a woman of my Shangguan family. From now on, you will be one of our own. Whatever you want, my Shangguan family will support you wholeheartedly!"

The head of the Shangguan family laughed.

In fact, the Shangguan family had already set their sights on Gu Jiancheng when he first came into contact with Shangguan Linglong.

Today, upon learning from Shangguan Wuji that Gu Jiancheng could create talismans with a mere gesture, the Shangguan family's desire for talent only intensified.

Now that he has witnessed firsthand how terrifying Gu Jiancheng's cultivation and combat power are, he wants to bring Gu Jiancheng into his own ranks.

There was no better choice than the son-in-law.

At this moment, even Shangguan Wuji was shocked.

Before this, his father had never expressed any intention of finding a son-in-law.

"I'm sorry, senior, I can't marry any of them!"

But Gu Jiancheng resolutely refused.

"What, do you think Linglong is a good match for you, or that the Shangguan family is not good enough for you?" The head of the Shangguan family narrowed his eyes slightly.

Throughout the entire Eastern Region, countless talented and extraordinary individuals desire to marry Shangguan Linglong, such as the Flowing Wind Young Master.

But now, Gu Jiancheng, who comes from a secular background, has actually refused?

"neither."

Gu Jiancheng shook his head and said solemnly, "I already have a wife, and besides, I have no romantic feelings for Miss Linglong whatsoever."

I only ever thought of her as a younger sister.

"Hehe, little sister?" The head of the Shangguan family chuckled, wanting to speak several times, but in the end he said, "It's rare to find someone so devoted in love."

"However, although I will not marry Sister Linglong, if you need my help in any way, I will do my best!" Gu Jiancheng said with a cupped hand and a smile.

At least for now, the Shangguan family seems to be doing alright, and he doesn't want to ruin the relationship.

"Um, cough cough."

"That's fine then."

The head of the Shangguan family sighed and then said, "Linglong is unruly and rebellious. She never listens to me. You have a good relationship with her, so I hope you can persuade her."

“Senior, actually, Linglong is exceptionally talented. Perhaps you should try to understand her better and see what she truly needs,” Gu Jiancheng said.

This is not to praise Shangguan Linglong, but rather, she deserves recognition.

The head of the Shangguan family gave Gu Jiancheng a deep look, and after a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we will not reveal what happened today."

After saying this, he and the hunched old man behind him disappeared beneath the pavilion.

Gu Jiancheng wanted to say something more, but he no longer had the chance.

"I'll see you out."

At this moment, Shangguan Wuji spoke, and then raised his hand to once again cast a talisman to envelop Gu Jiancheng.

When they reappeared, they had already returned to the outskirts of Dongling City.

"If you like him, go for it. Mr. Shen and I are just business partners."

Seeing Shangguan Wuji turn to leave, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but speak up.

Shangguan Wuji suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Jiancheng.

"You're very strong, thanks."

After saying that, Shangguan Wuji turned and left without lingering.

"He's a nice person, just like a block of wood."

Gu Jiancheng shook his head. With Shangguan Wuji's personality, he deserved to be single.

After returning to the academy, Gu Jiancheng once again threw himself into the intense and busy process of refining.

Whether it's motorcycles, sunglasses, or cigarettes, they will surely become popular in the East in a short time; this is just the beginning.

And so, another two short months passed in a flash.

This period was both busy and fulfilling, and the popularity of sunglasses and cigarettes was beyond Gu Jiancheng's expectations.

According to Li Biluo, every time she finishes delivering goods, they are sold out on the same day, and people even line up at Qianjin Trading Company very early.

This is why Shen Biluo keeps urging her.

If he couldn't sleep soundly with Yunshuiyao in his arms every night, he probably would have broken down.

However, Gu Jiancheng's cultivation level has not fallen behind. He has been in Dongling Academy for nearly three months, and his cultivation level has now advanced to the peak of the late stage of Dao Palace.

And this is all thanks to the Langhuan Pendant, which has three times the speed of time flow; otherwise, it would never have been this fast.

Moreover, after several months of work, the surprise he prepared for Yunshuiyao was finally completed.

Gu Jiancheng waited in front of the courtyard for a long time, until the moon rose high in the sky, but Yun Shuiyao did not return.

Although Yunshuiyao has been coming back later and later these days, today is really unusual.

"Could it be that they've run into some kind of trouble?"

Gu Jiancheng's expression suddenly changed slightly. He hadn't paid attention to things at the academy for a long time, but perhaps those aristocratic scions couldn't sit still any longer.

"Brother Jiancheng!"

However, at this moment, Su Wanzhi flew down from the mountain path and smiled, "Missing Senior Sister?"

"Ah, where is she?" Gu Jiancheng nodded.

"Hehe, I knew you were anxious."

Su Wanzhi smiled slyly and then said, "My senior sister told me to tell you not to worry, she's in the Scripture Pavilion right now."

"If you can't wait, you can go to the library to find her; she's currently tied up with other things."

"Shuiyao is in the Sutra Repository?" This surprised Gu Jiancheng.

“Yes, Senior Sister originally wanted to find a way to break the Spirit-Binding Body, but she was kept there. Go find her!” Su Wanzhi smiled and then flew away.

Hearing that Yunshuiyao went to the Sutra Repository for his sake, Gu Jiancheng felt a warmth in his heart.

It's been three months, and he thought Yunshuiyao had already forgotten about it.

Immediately, he went straight to the library.

He has to personally bring his wife back.

Soon, under the moonlight, Gu Jiancheng arrived at the entrance of the Sutra Repository.

"As expected, you've arrived. Come in."

Before Gu Jiancheng could stop, the door to the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion suddenly opened.

The voice of the Pavilion Master surnamed Sun also rang out from among them.

Three months ago, he asked Li Biluo to investigate the master of the Sutra Repository, but all they found was that this person was very likely Sun Miaoyun's sister.

That's all, because the Western Regions are too far away, and the Rakshasa Sect hasn't extended its reach there yet.

But this at least proves that the Master of the Sutra Repository was indeed related to Li Piaomiao.

My sister-in-law!

Gu Jiancheng pursed his lips and then stepped into the Sutra Repository.

To his surprise, the master of the Sutra Repository was sitting at his desk, on which lay a pile of old and broken jade slips.

It looks like a translation or transcription?

Yun Shuiyao was standing opposite her, also clutching a jade slip in her hand.

"Actually, I was about to go back too. Today's ancient bamboo slips were a bit difficult, so I was delayed a bit." Yun Shuiyao was a little surprised to see Gu Jiancheng come over, so she explained.

"Hehe, you're quite lucky, kid, to have the number one genius on the list find a way to break the restriction for you."

Before Gu Jiancheng could speak, the Pavilion Master of the Scripture Repository laughed.

"Wife, are you looking for this place?"

Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this.

It is clear that Yunshuiyao had been to the top floor of the Sutra Repository, but after finding nothing, she chose to search for clues among these untranslated jade slips.

But this is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

"Your wife has been searching here for a month and has never thought of giving up!" the Scripture Pavilion Master said with a smile.

"It's nothing really, I'm just unwilling to accept it."

"Moreover, helping the Pavilion Master translate these ancient texts can also earn a lot of academic credits, killing two birds with one stone," Yun Shuiyao quickly explained.

Although the text in these ancient bamboo slips is very old, it is not relevant to her reincarnation.

"But we haven't found it yet." Yun Shuiyao said with some disappointment.

“This can’t be rushed, it’s alright if we can’t find it.” Gu Jiancheng was deeply moved.

“He’s right, so let’s call it a day. You’ve certainly helped me with a lot of translations. I’ll submit your credits tomorrow.” The Master of the Scripture Pavilion smiled. “Go back and rest with your husband.”

"Oh well."

Yun Shuiyao thought for a moment before putting down the jade slip in her hand and leaving.

"Gu Jiancheng."

But at this moment, the master of the Sutra Repository suddenly called Gu Jiancheng to a stop.

"Tomorrow is the academy's monthly credit settlement day. Those who do not have enough credits will be expelled from the academy. You currently have zero credits!"

"Tomorrow?" Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng's expression changed drastically.

He had been so busy supplying goods to Qianjin Trading Company that he had completely forgotten about getting his academic credits!

"Master, please give him the credits I have with you." Yun Shuiyao suddenly said at this moment, as she had only just learned about this matter.

"No!"

But Gu Jiancheng raised his hand and said, "There's no need to cheat. It's just credits. I have a way."

As he spoke, he looked at the head of the library and asked with a smile, "Head of the library, how about I take over all the ones that haven't been translated yet?"

"I'll give it all to you?"

The head of the library looked at the ancient bamboo slips on the table and said, "There are still more than thirty copies here!"

Even with Yunshuiyao's help, she could only translate one document a day.

"That's right, is there anything else besides these? I want them all!"

Gu Jiancheng nodded.

Since translating ancient bamboo slips can earn academic credits, it couldn't be easier for him!
