"Young Master, you don't need to be polite with Yan Ji - you can give me your orders without hesitation."
Although Yan Ji was still confused about their whereabouts, he still hurriedly responded to Gu Changge after hearing his words. He already felt guilty and agitated for not having a way to return Gu Changge's favor, so now that he heard Gu Changge's words, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.
He didn't think he was worthy of having someone with Gu Changge's identity take care of him without getting anything in return.
“Actually nothing big. Before that, let me help you reconstruct your body. ”
Gu Changge said with a smile, and looked at the somewhat transparent figure of Yan Ji. After all, Yan Ji was a Great Sacred Realm master at his peak, so Gu Changge would feel more comfortable if he could have someone as strong as him to take care of some things that could not be revealed.
He was not worried about Yan Ji betraying him. When they were in the Lower Realm, he had already experienced his nature, and believed that he was a trustworthy person.
'Reconstruction of my body ...'
Yan Ji's red pupils trembled as he heard his words, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. He always wondered when the time would come when he could reconstruct his body. No matter how he thought about it, he believed that he would take a long time to see that day.
Back when he woke up and found himself in the wilderness of the Lower Realm, he decided not to think about this matter anymore, and could only wait and wait and wait.
By the time he took Ye Chen as his disciple, the thought of asking him to help him find some Heavenly Treasures to reconstruct his body had indeed crossed his mind. Sweetheart! Ye Chen was too weak, so he could only kill his idea in the cradle. In the end, he decided to repay Ye Chen for having awakened him by teaching him until the day his remaining spirit disappeared.
But his fate was strange, and somehow he ended up with Gu Changge.
The dream that was once unreachable by him was something Gu Changge could help achieve with just a few words. This great shift in fortune brought great uneasiness to his heart for a while, but then he felt blessed. If Ye Chen did not misunderstand due to his unfounded suspicions, and ended the relationship between them, then he would still be in the Lower Realm, waiting for the day he would disappear.
With that said, he wondered if he was dreaming right now?
'Why is Young Master Gu so good to me?'
Yan Ji's ruby eyes shone brightly and stared at Gu Changge without blinking as this thought flashed through his mind. Helping her once can be explained as generosity, but how can her actions help her repeatedly for no reason be explained?
Specially? Gu Changge had an honorable identity, and he was the Young Master of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family. He was certain that they had also returned to the Upper Realm. After all, judging from the luxurious decorations in the palace, and the surging Spiritual Qi that seemed to flood around him, plus the brilliant light from the treasures… No ordinary power could take anything out of this level.
His surroundings alone were enough to show the grandeur and horror of the profound heritage of the Ancient Eternal Gu Family.
He couldn't help but be surprised.
Yan Ji wasn't stupid, so he couldn't help but have this thought. Why did Young Master Gu go this far for him? Does he like his power? Or is he interested in his background and past?
That's not possible! There was no shortage of talented and mighty people in the Ancient Eternal Gu Family. Although its origin was relatively special, it meant nothing in front of the Ancient Eternal Gu Family.
As for him liking it? He doesn't really believe. Although Yan Ji was confident in his appearance, the one in front of him was the Young Master of the Ancient Eternal Gu Family who would not be lacking in beautiful women who were willing to stand behind him and call out to him. Just a single sentence from her would be enough to make countless Heavenly princesses send themselves to her bed.
This made Yan Ji confused.
Did he do it purely out of the kindness of his heart? No matter how he thought about it, it couldn't have happened. After all, a Young Master like Gu Changge had to be a very ambitious and ruthless person who would only do something if it brought him profit.[1]
[1: this was his thinking in general because people from such a large family could not be kind and gentle with outsiders. They eat, sleep, and talk benefits.]
“Young Master's kindness to me is already as heavy as a mountain, so let's forget about rebuilding my body. Yan Ji won't know how to repay your bud again.”.
Although Yan Ji was very excited to rebuild his body, he still shook his head and refused. He had his own morals, and would not accept his grace unless he had a way to avenge Gu Changge.
Gu Changge was not surprised by his response. There would be something wrong with Yan Ji if he easily accepted his offer.
His face still showed a slight smile, and he asked with a curious expression, “Why? Isn't reconstructing your body a good thing? This should have been your plan and goal all along, right? Or do you feel bad about achieving something so great if it doesn't bring a sense of accomplishment?”
He chuckles and teases her.
His words surprised Yan Ji, and he felt somewhat angry. What does he mean by saying that he is not feeling well because there is no sense of accomplishment in achieving that?
Unfortunately, he could not force himself to say anything now.
Had he followed Ye Chen, he would never have had the chance to rebuild his body, but after he had joined Young Master Gu's party, he would have never had the chance to rebuild his body, just a few words from him were enough to help him reconstruct his existence.
Sure enough, some people are born different and cannot even be compared. What some people pursue throughout their lives, others are born with it in the palm of their hand — everything is within their reach. This fact further complicated his mood.
In fact, a part of him was worried about Young Master Gu who kind of hated him because he had once stood by his opponent's side, but, in reality, Gu Changge did not care about any of it, either, and he understands this well.
This had moved Yan Ji's heart a lot.
“Don't worry, I have my own reasons to help you rebuild your body, so you can accept my help without thinking too much about it.”
Gu Changge said with his unceasing smile.
'Women, once their hearts are moved, cannot let go.'
This sentence was true, whether it was in his past life, or in this world.
Of course, the reason he conquered Yan Ji was because he liked his Fortune Value.
Are you going to kill a chicken after getting its eggs, or keep it around to make it lay more eggs for you?
The answer to that question is clear.
Specially? Yan Ji was a great master. Right now, the strongest person Gu Changge could command was the Old Ming; the Gu Family would never send followers who were too powerful to serve the younger generation, or they would not be able to grow…
Gu Changge needed a strong following.
"Then, what is the reason for Young Master Gu?"
His words gave birth to curiosity in his heart, so Yan Ji was inevitably curious.
“What to ask about such a simple problem? That's because I want your body.”.
Gu Changge looked at her beautiful eyes and said with a laugh. His words shocked Yan Ji, and his head was buzzing.
Yan Ji glared at him with a hint of anger. He had never expected such an answer from Gu Changge. To begin with, what kind of answer is that? He wanted her body, so he wanted to help her reconstruct it?
Yan Ji felt his heart pound faster and faster. If some fool randomly said this to her, she would slap that person with her cold palm without hesitation. But when Gu Changge said that to her, his head was buzzing and his face was burning.
He must be kidding!
How could Young Master Gu want it? That's not possible!
……
[Upper Natural Outer Area, Xiling State.]
Gu Xian'er hid and watched the process in secret. The little bird on his shoulder had grown bigger, and was chasing the figure of the old God Realm King dressed in black, while carrying Gu Xian'er and his servant on his back. The old man's words were enough for him to guess that he was a servant sent by his good brother.
He had the King of Gods as his servant!
It showed how well his good brother lived over the past decade, and how terrifying his authority was. Gu Xian'er couldn't help but clench his hands, and increasingly hated Gu Changge, as these thoughts flashed through his mind.
He worked hard and cultivated with great difficulty in Peach Village, but even after receiving guidance from some mysterious and mighty masters, he was only at the Saint Realm now. He, on the other hand, could easily obtain resources and strength while sitting in the comfort of his home, and he considered that his cultivation was even more unexpected than he had imagined.
'No, I will not give up! Sister Tao even said that she had never seen someone with a stronger foundation than me. I can't be weaker than Gu Changge! I will take back everything he stole from me in the future!'
Gu Xian'er clenched his hands, and followed the black-clothed old man in front of him. He had many treasures on him that could hide his presence, so he was not worried about the old man finding them.
All he wanted to know was why Gu Changge had sent the old man to find his bloodline? Does he want to slaughter them all? Gu Xian'er bit his lips at the thought of this, and gritted his teeth as an expression of hatred appeared on his smooth and delicate face.
'My dear brother, I never thought you wouldn't let me go even after so many years ...'
But soon, he suppressed the anger and hatred in his heart.
'With me here, no one can touch my family!'
Gu Xian'er stated in his heart.
……
[In the sky before Gu Xianer.]
Old Ming did not know someone was secretly following him. He had only come to this place on the orders of his Young Master, and his only task was to find the people from the Gu Family to bring them back to the Inner Region of the Upper Realm.
As for what the Young Master did not order? He doesn't care about that.
Before long, the Old Ming discovered the magnificent ancient city where the Gu Family lineage lived. The city is very lively and amazing, with countless different Families, Sects, and cultivators in the millions living and moving.
Suddenly, he showed a gentle smile, and dispelled his arrogant aura. Even though he was sent by his Young Master, he considered that it would be better for him not to show arrogance here. After all, the Gu Family bloodline that now lives here was once one of the most powerful lineages of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family.
[explosion!]
Immediately, the aura of his God King descended to the ancient city below. At the same time, the clear voice of Old Ming echoed throughout the city.
"On Young Master's orders, I came looking for those surnamed Gu!"
He believed that his words would be enough to convey his message to the people in question.
[explosion!]
Right after the Old Ming revealed his mighty aura, the entire ancient city became chaotic, and all the cultivators inside were shocked.
Why did the mighty God King come to their place?
And why was he looking for people with the surname Gu?
The cultivators knew that their ancient city was indeed controlled by the people with the surname Gu, and that they were the absolute rulers of this place. Now, they were wondering who the black-clothed God King was, and why did he appear here out of nowhere?
Also, who is the Young Master he is talking about?
Everyone in the city was shocked, and they felt that something big was about to happen.
At this moment, some powerful and dignified old men looked towards the outskirts of the city from within their majestic building complex.
'I never thought Gu Changge would come for us after so many years of peace and quiet! But why would he only send one God King to deal with us? Is he looking down on us, old bones?'
They showed expressions of anger and gloom. After all, as long as they heard the words 'Young Master' and 'family name Gu', they could easily figure out who the other party was talking about.
For that reason, they subconsciously thought that Gu Changge had sent someone to kill them.
'Has the situation in the Family already descended to such a point? Were the other Elders no longer around, or did Gu Changge no longer care about their existence?'
'I never thought that after protecting us and stalling Gu Changge for so many years, the other Elders were finally unable to do anything to him! Looks like today is our day…'
Their expressions turned ugly as they made different guesses.
At the same time, the voice of the old man outside the city sounded once again, "The Young Master had sent this old slave to select everyone with the surname Gu to bring them back to the Family!"
They became dazed when they heard his words. Why is reality different from their imagination?
He's here to bring them back to the family?
What the hell is going on?
They had been in seclusion for so many years, and now someone was here to bring them back to the Gu Family, so they can't help but be surprised...
