*Roar!* The initially silent mountain gate immediately roared with explosive commotion when the nine green dragons suddenly flew across the sky. Looking at the scene, everyone couldn’t help but feel shock, especially when they saw the ever so familiar ancient character, Gu, appear. By the looks of the carriage that was dragged by the nine dragons, everyone knew that today, the Direct Disciple of the Skyward Schloss, the Young Master of the Gu Family, had finally returned!
There were many rumors about Gu Changge circulating in the Skyward Schloss, including the infinite stories about his godlike appearance, achievements at a young age, a darling of the powerful forces… and much more. His future achievements were unimaginable because no one could predict how far he would go. That was why many of the elders in the Skyward Schloss were optimistic about him as they felt that he was the most suitable candidate to fight for the position as heir of the Skyward Schloss in the future. The five great Direct Disciples of the Skyward Schloss, as well as several other Direct Disciples, were extremely terrified of him. Furthermore, many cultivators have heard rumors about Gu Changge. He had become famous at a young age by showing his tremendous talent. He was also dubbed as a young prodigy because he had never been defeated ever since he was born.
Instead, many were defeated by his hand, and they were all extremely famous prodigies from powerful forces. Now, he had become famous in the Beyond and would attract the attention of everyone wherever he went. The Young Master of the Immortal Gu Family, which was something that could rival the heir of the Skyward Schloss!
Nonetheless, because the Skyward Schloss held a special place in the Beyond, many divine dynasties and immortal forces would send their respective heirs here just to have a hand in it. Even though it wasn’t something strange for him to be here, it was enough to attract everyone’s attention.
A while ago, Gu Changge suddenly left the Skyward Schloss and disappeared for a full six months, leaving many cultivators shocked and guessing as to where he went. To any ordinary person, the whereabouts of a young prodigy would instantly become the center of attention.
At the moment, after the explosion at the mountain gate, many cultivators began to discuss while looking at the nine green dragons flying high in the sky.
“After leaving this place for so long, Gu Changge has finally returned…”
“Where has he been this whole time?”
A man dressed in gold named Jin Yu was also drawn by the commotion, which caused him to furrow his brows. He was familiar with the name ‘Gu Changge’ because his older brother had always been afraid of this man, so naturally, he didn’t have any fondness toward Gu Changge. However, what he didn’t notice was that Gu Xianer’s face turned extremely cold, as if she was suppressing some kind of hatred inside her. A terrifying aura was lingering around her body as runes even started to flow inside her eyes.
“Lady Xianer…”
The old servant next to her became a little worried that she would act recklessly, so he pulled her back. Without a doubt, she knew that the person who was entering the Skyward Schloss in such a high profile way was the person that she hated the most—her brother. Since her bone was now inside his body, they shared a connection which allowed her to know that it was actually him. It had been more than 10 years since she last saw him, and now, she felt as though she was reliving the pain when he dug up her Daoist Bone back then.
“Lady Xianer, since you haven’t found that elder yet, it’s best that you avoid drawing his attention. After all, Skyward Schloss is completely his domain…” The old servant reminded her.
Of course, she understood his reasoning as she nodded her head and forced herself to calm down.
[Sooner or later, I will take back what is mine!]
Then, Jin Yu’s face darkened when he turned around and saw Gu Xianer, so he waved his hand and ordered, “Someone come and bring this ignorant little girl to me.” Behind him, several of his servants rushed up. All of them were strong and powerful with horns and scales on their bodies.
Immediately, Gu Xianer was left stunned as she didn’t want to cause any trouble, but eventually, it was trouble who came to her. After all, there were many cultivators who lusted over her beauty on her way here.
*Roar!* Suddenly, the roar of the dragons was heard from the skies once more, sending shockwaves across the hearts of every cultivator.
“They are turning back and heading in our direction…” They couldn’t help exclaim when they realized that the nine green dragons that were originally heading toward the Skyward Schloss had reappeared and were now landing in their direction!
“Oh no! He must have felt my presence too.” Gu Xianer’s expression changed the moment she figured everything out. Otherwise, why would Gu Changge suddenly turn around and come to the market where she was?
“Why is Gu Changge coming here?” After being interrupted three or four times previously, Jin Yu couldn’t help but turn gloomy as he wondered why Gu Changge would turn to his direction.
[Could it be because of me?]
After all, on the battlefield, Gu Changge and his older brother were considered acquaintances, and because of that, he had met him several times before. All of a sudden, his face darkened.
“Lady Xianer, we should be going. Now…” The face of the old servant turned pale as he quickly urged Gu Xianer to leave.
However, at times like this, she remained extremely calm while shaking her head. “We can’t escape him. Besides, we’ll have to face him sooner or later, so we might as well do it now.”
She didn’t expect to see Gu Changge in such a short notice, but at this point, she couldn’t care less. Meanwhile, all the cultivators at the market were drawn over by the commotion. Moments ago, only a small group of people was watching the drama unfold, but now, basically everyone had their eyes looking over in curiosity.
“Will Disciple Gu actually show up here? How strange.”
“Maybe he is coming here because of Jin Yu. I heard that his brother was severely injured by Disciple Gu…”
The cultivators nearby began to discuss the situation.
Soon, the white jade carriage that was pulled by the nine dragons landed, and the elegant voice of a man was heard from inside. “It’s been so long since I saw you, but it seems like you are doing well.”
“You’re too kind, Disciple Gu. No matter how well I’m doing, it is nothing compared to you.” Jin Yu was slightly stunned as he didn’t expect Gu Changge to say those words to him. However, since he was very polite with his greeting, he couldn’t help but answer him with a smile and some goodwill.
“It has been more than 10 years since you were gone. You’ve grown so tall and beautiful…” Gu Changge’s voice kept on coming out of the white jade carriage as he came out with a strange expression in his eyes. He continued his words while completely ignoring Jin Yu, who was speaking right next to him.
Listening to his words, Jin yu froze for a little while before feeling embarrassed, angry and upset. The cultivators nearby were also shocked by his words as they obviously weren’t directed at him.
[Could it be that… he is speaking to that young woman dressed in green?]
Naturally, Gu Xianer knew that Gu Changge was speaking to her, but her gorgeous face and eyes remained incomparably cold as she kept silent.
“Gu Changge, what do you think you are doing?” Seeing that Gu Changge had completely ignored him, Jin Yu felt embarrassed and shouted at him to maintain his image. After all, the situation just now was too embarrassing for him. Not only wasn’t Gu Changge talking to him at all, he still went up and answered him, which left his face blushing.
“Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to interrupt me while I’m speaking to my sister?” Suddenly, Gu Changge glared at him with eyes full of cold and indifference.
“You…” Jin Yu’s face froze as he turned more gloomy and upset with his body trembling in anger. However, Gu Changge continued to ignore him and turned toward Gu Xianer once more. He didn’t expect to sense her presence the moment he arrived at the foot of Skyward Schloss’ mountain, so he immediately asked Ming Lao to turn the carriage around since there was no harm in greeting and provoking her a little.
Her current cultivation level was still too weak, so she definitely couldn’t defeat him. Even though she had powerful people backing her, as long as he didn’t put her life in any danger, those powerful people should be fine with it, which meant that he could easily bully her.
[She wants revenge? As long as my cultivation is stronger than hers, there’s no chance of that happening.]
As for how to solve her hatred toward him for digging up her bone, Gu Changge already thought of a plan long ago, which was to shift all the blame to his Demonic Heart. However, after using the system to examine her Fortuity, he was instantly left stunned inside his heart because it was even higher than Yue Mingkong’s Fortuity and had almost reached 10,000 points. Looking at it, he couldn’t help but admit the Fortuitous Ones in the Overworld were nothing when compared to these two girls.
“Hehe, my dear brother, I can’t believe you are shameless enough to say that. If you still see me as your little sister, why would you do such a thing to me back then?” Gu Xianer also didn’t expect such an attitude from him, but compared to his usual disdainful and cold self, his current light-hearted looks upset her even more as she clenched her delicate fists and glared at him coldly.
A dashing smile was now hanging onto that annoying face of his that would give others a false sense that he was a good person. At the moment, she couldn’t wait to punch him on the face and have his brain splatter all over the floor.
Meanwhile, the cultivators nearby were all shocked as their eyes widened. They would never expect that young woman dressed in green to be someone as important as Gu Changge’s little sister, but one could still tell that they had some kind of misunderstanding.
[What did he do to her back then?]
As for Jin Yu, his expression also changed slightly since he didn’t expect this insignificant young woman to be someone from the Gu Family.
[I basically know everyone from the younger generation of the Gu Family, so who is this young lady?]
At the same time, Gu Xianer coldly stared at Gu Changge without saying a word. After all, this was a scandal of the Gu Family, and over the years, the other elders of the clan had taken much care of her lineage. Therefore, she refused to bring any more shame to the family.
“I can’t believe this is your attitude after we finally see each other. I must say that I’m a little hurt.” Gu Changge smiled lightly without any sign of remorse. Of course, he wasn’t being unrepentant, because what he did in the past wasn’t something that could be solved with one apology. Thus, he felt that there was no need for him to show any remorse. Otherwise, she might think that he was being hypocritical and start to suspect his motives.
“What attitude do you expect me to have? I can’t wait to smash that face of yours right now,” she replied coldly. She felt that the reason he came to her was simply because he wanted to let her know that he was wise to her every move, so he chose to show himself for her to vent her anger toward him.
“You can forget about that. If you think you can smash my face, why don’t you give it a try?” Gu Changge chuckled and didn’t say anything more. Then, he turned toward Jin Yu, whose face had darkened, and changed his voice to a colder tone. “As for you, who do you think you are? Only I can bully her. If you dare to lay your finger on her, I’ll kill you.”
With that, he landed his palm, and runes began to intertwine, forming a golden palm imprint. Quickly, it condensed in the empty space and transformed into a divine hand that was incomparably large before Gu Changge slammed it forward.
“Gu Changge, you…” Jin Yu was in disbelief as his face suddenly turned pale.
[Would he dare to kill me right in front of Skyward Schloss?]
The servants behind him were also filled with despair. Even though they were in the Partial-Enlightened Realm, they couldn’t come up with anything at the moment to block his attack. With the palm of the divine hand, Gu Changge slammed it forward and engulfed them all.
*Bang!* Immediately, a mist of blood appeared as Jin Yu’s servants were blown away. He himself also spewed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed while the protective item inside his Primordial Spirit bag quickly disappeared.
All of a sudden, the place fell into complete silence, and every cultivator could feel their spines tingling with fear. Someone even secretly took a gulp of his own saliva while terrified, as if something big was about to happen.
Gu Xianer, who was initially stunned, came back around and said with a slightly frightened face, “Gu Changge, don’t think that I’ll thank you for this…”
She didn’t need Gu Changge’s help because she was more than capable to handle the situation herself. She was only afraid of getting into trouble and being noticed by him, but since he had finally noticed her, there was nothing for her to worry about.
“You don’t get it. I don’t need your appreciation.” He shook his head. “I just want you to know that only I can bully you. No one else can.”
Silavin: Do note that Jin Yu is not in the Partial-Enlightened Realm. Just the boy’s servants.
BTW, in case you forgot, it’s Honoured Lord < Honoured King < Partial-Englightened. So, Gu Changge has one shot people in a higher realm.
