Ji Yunxi quickly handed the revised defense plan to Gu An. Gu An picked it up, took a look, and was quite impressed. Without a word of comment, he directly passed the new plan to Gu Yiping.
He said nothing, but Gu Yiping understood his meaning and quickly opened the plan to see what Ji Yunxi had revised.
In just a moment, surprise showed on his face.
He really hadn't expected Ji Yunxi to have such abilities. This new defense plan pointed out all the possible loopholes. It not only changed the locations but also made new annotations on the use of the mechanisms. It was quite comprehensive.
Gu Yiping's eyes were full of admiration, and he had a different understanding of Ji Yunxi in his heart.
Seeing her brother's attitude, Gu Feifei immediately became unhappy. She leaned forward to take a glance and then looked disdainful.
She wanted to say something loudly, but was afraid of being criticized by Gu An, so she could only mutter in a low voice, "I could do this too..."
Gu Yiping already regarded Ji Yunxi as the valley master, so he instinctively told her to shut up.
Gu Feifei instantly exploded like a cat with its tail stepped on. "Right! I can understand this too. What this woman said is completely wrong!"
Ji Yunxi couldn't help raising her eyebrows. "Oh? Then tell me where it's wrong?"
Surprised that she had actually spoken out, Gu Feifei was afraid of being punished by Gu An. She instinctively shut her mouth and carefully glanced at him.
Gu An was definitely angry. He stared coldly at Gu Feifei, about to scold her.
Ji Yunxi didn't want to argue with a junior at first, but since Gu Feifei had tried to suppress her several times, she wouldn't be polite anymore.
She slightly raised her hand. "Hey, it's good to brainstorm. Let's hear it."
Gu An felt helpless. It seemed that he had spoiled Gu Feifei too much. She had become so willful and spoiled. But it wouldn't hurt to discipline her in front of Ji Yunxi.
"Then tell us."
Gu Yiping could already tell that his sister was going to be scolded. He quietly pulled at her sleeve, trying to get her to shut up and admit her mistake.
However, this girl was completely oblivious. She took the defense plan and started spouting nonsense. "Like this part you mentioned. The whole row of mechanisms should be hidden. Don't you think it would be better hidden if they were in front and raised? If you move them, won't they be exposed to the enemy?"
Hearing this, Gu Yiping's eyes widened. He usually hadn't forced Feifei to learn much, but how could she not understand such a simple principle?
How could mechanisms be left on the ground? They should naturally be hidden in newly dug trenches!
Gu Feifei's nonsense made Feng Xingzhi laugh. He slightly covered his face with his hand, but his eyes were still visible.
Gu Feifei blushed when she saw how good - looking he was when he laughed. She thought Feng Xingzhi was approving of her words.
It seemed that the three of them weren't so annoying after all. At least one of them was reasonable! She thought to herself and wanted to step forward to talk to Feng Xingzhi.
Gu An had lived a long time. If he couldn't tell what Gu Feifei was thinking when he saw her slightly blushing face, he would be a failure as the valley master. He quickly stopped her. "Gu Feifei! That's enough. Time is pressing. Let's focus on the task first."
Gu Feifei was interrupted and immediately became unhappy. But she could tell that Gu An was angry, so she could only shut her mouth.
The atmosphere became a bit stiff. Gu Yiping quickly stepped forward. "I'd better lead the men to set up the defenses according to the valley master's revised plan."
Gu An let out a sigh of relief. "Go... Take this naughty girl with you!"
Gu Feifei was dragged away while muttering all the way. Only then did the others have some peace.
After they left, Qing Xuan, who had been wanting to speak but was held back by his master, finally spoke. "Who are these two? Why is that girl always targeting my master?"
Seeing his dissatisfaction and hearing him call Ji Yunxi "master", Gu An knew they had a close relationship, so he didn't mind Qing Xuan's nosiness.
He sighed. "I'm really sorry. These two kids are like I was back then. I was taken in by Gu Yunxi back then, and these two became orphans when they were young. I took them in later. They're like my adopted children."
Qing Xuan understood. "I see. So they're the valley master's adopted children."
Gu An felt a bit embarrassed. He really wasn't good at raising children. He didn't have a wife, so in the end, the siblings took care of themselves.
Who would have thought that because Feifei was a girl, he and Gu Yiping had spoiled her since she was young, which was why she was like this.
"I'll discipline her properly later."
Ji Yunxi thought about all the years she had lived. She had seen plenty of naughty kids. Gu Feifei wasn't really a bad - hearted girl, just a bit spoiled. "It's okay. She's just a little girl."
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom. "These are refined spiritual pills. You should keep them. If she really comes, you can take them before the fight to enhance your spiritual power."
Gu An knew how precious these pills were. He quickly took them and then ordered his men to bring out some small - sized hidden weapons for them to use.
There was a whole table full of hidden weapons of various sizes. Ji Yunxi was very interested. She stood up and looked at them one by one, asking from time to time what they were.
Just as she was choosing, a disciple from the valley suddenly came to report. "Valley master, there's a man and a woman outside the barrier. They say their names are Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge."
Gu An turned to look at Ji Yunxi in confusion. He remembered that these two were their friends, right?
Ji Yunxi was also very confused. Logically, at this time, her second brother and Jiuge should be in Kunlun Mountain, right?
But there was no time to think. Afraid that they would be in danger outside the barrier, she quickly told the disciple to bring them in.
After waiting for a while, two familiar figures gradually approached.
"Second brother! Jiuge! Why are you here?" Ji Yunxi was a bit worried and also curious how they knew she was in Qinse Valley.
Ji Yunyi smiled. "Silly girl, we've been following you all the way, but you were too fast. We just couldn't keep up. We almost lost you before. At first, we thought you were going to Lingyun Mountain, but then we found out you abandoned the carriage on the way. Fortunately, we knew about Qinse Valley, so we guessed you might be here."
"Wait, second brother, why were you following us?" Ji Yunxi was curious.
The two glanced at each other. "We didn't do it on a whim."
Then Ji Yunyi leaned closer to Ji Yunxi and whispered, "A maid from Yunluotian found us and said it's no longer suitable for us to stay in Kunlun. So she told us to leave and lie low."
Li Jiuge also stepped forward. "And that day, Immortal Venerable Xiao Yi went to the back mountain and said that you and your cousin were plotting something and that you had injured someone. Fortunately, we left first. Otherwise, we might not have made it in time."
Ji Yunxi had been unconscious at that time and didn't know about Xiao Yi. She looked confused. "What happened with Immortal Venerable Xiao Yi?"
