In Xiao Ruoyin’s view, the biggest reason why the young Divine Origin Master in front of her behaved so unhappily was that Gu Changge was about the same age as him.
Being an arrogant Divine Origin Master that worked for a person who was about his age, he would feel uncomfortable, thinking that he was being underestimated. However, Xiao Ruoyin felt that as long as she explained it clearly, he would understand.
Looking at the current Upper Realm, who wouldn’t want to hug Gu Changge’s thigh tightly and serve him?
Facing Xiao Ruoyin’s good persuasion, Jiang Chen’s face became uglier, and his clenched fists were also creaking. He really didn’t expect that her former G.o.ddess would explain so earnestly in front of her, asking him to serve his arch-enemy.
This made Jiang Chen very angry, even a little disappointed as he laughed at himself. However, Jiang Chen soon calmed down.
At this moment, he couldn’t blame Xiao Ruoyin. Because he knew that Xiao Ruoyin didn’t know Gu Changge’s real face. She also had no idea that Gu Changge ordered them to be exterminated.
“Girl, you don’t need to say anything, I understand your kindness. But I’m used to being idle, and I don’t like to serve other people.” Jiang Chen shook his head and declined politely.
Xiao Ruoyin said in a daze, “Do you know whose offer you rejected?”
She couldn’t believe it, Jiang Chen didn’t move in the slightest when facing Gu Changge’s solicitation. He even refused so resolutely, without giving it a second thought.
“Actually, to tell you the truth, I have a lot of conflicts with the Mr. Gu you mentioned. So it’s useless for you to persuade me anymore.” Jiang Chen said calmly.
Xiao Ruoyin didn’t expect Jiang Chen to say such words, it was a little unbelievable. As for the contradiction between him and Gu Changge, she didn’t think much about it, she just thought it might be Jiang Chen’s excuse to refuse.
“If that’s the case, forget it.” Xiao Ruoyin sighed in her heart, what she thought was a sure thing, had failed.
She didn’t know how to explain to Gu Changge when she went back later.
After all, she promised Gu Changge that she would help him.
Seeing that Xiao Ruoyin was about to turn around and leave this place, Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered, but he suddenly said, “Girl, please stay, I actually have something else I want to talk to you about. If you don’t mind, it will delay you for a while at most.”
Xiao Ruoyin frowned slightly, but she was not worried about Jiang Chen’s malicious intentions.
So she thought for a while and asked a few fellows behind her to head out first, waiting for her outside, and then she said to Jiang Chen, “If you have anything to say to me, you can say it right here.”
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face again, then he took a deep breath, and then a layer of clear light brushed across his face.
Then, there was a crackling sound from the dislocation of his bones all over the body, and his whole person began to change at a speed visible to the flesh, turning into another appearance.
“You… You are Jiang Chen?” Xiao Ruoyin was a little surprised by his actions and didn’t understand why he did this.
But in the next moment when she saw the face in front of her clearly. She was startled, stunned and felt unbelievable. Wasn’t this delicate and familiar face one of her former friends, Jiang Chen?
“Jiang Chen, how did you become what you were before?” Xiao Ruoyin asked in surprise, with a look of joy.
Jiang Chen and others could be said to be her rare friends in this world. In Kunwu city, she unexpectedly met Jiang Chen, which made her quite happy.
Jiang Chen said with a complex expression, “It’s a long story.”
“Don’t worry, you can tell me slowly, I have plenty of time. I’ll just say that you indeed felt a bit familiar to me.” Xiao Ruoyin smiled.
She immediately figured out why Jiang Chen offered to give her the Blood King Ginseng when he was gambling in the stone workshop.
“By the way, how did you become a Divine Origin Master? Could it be another chance? I remember that at that time none of you had cultivation talent, and Mr. Gu said that he had already made arrangements for you, so I was relieved. But why don’t you want to serve Mr. Gu? You also said that there is a conflict between you.”
Before Jiang Chen could answer, she thought of another thing, and couldn’t help asking curiously. The status of the Divine Origin Master was extremely respected in the current Upper Realm.
After all, looking at many ancient eras, there were only a few well-known Divine Origin Masters. Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoyin couldn’t help feeling really happy for Jiang Chen.
“I’ll explain these things to you slowly, including everything that happened after we parted.” A trace of hatred flashed across Jiang Chen’s eyes, and then he said calmly.
These things were very long to say, but to Jiang Chen, it seemed like yesterday and many scenes were still vivid in his memory.
Xiao Ruoyin nodded and was a little curious. She felt that Jiang Chen had changed a lot compared to before, with a more gloomy feeling.
“At that time, Gu Changge lied to you. From the very beginning when he released us from the prison, he was uneasy and kind. Those steles used to test talent were all tampered with secretly by him, so except for you, the rest of us couldn’t test our talent. That way, he was able to logically drive us away and put you at ease. Gu Changge is just wearing a hypocritical mask… The real him is more cruel and indifferent than anyone else…”
Jiang Chen opened his mouth slowly, speaking in an unhurried tone, and told all the many things that happened during this period of time.
After they separated from Xiao Ruoyin, they were exterminated by Gu Changge’s men, and then all the things that happened in Supreme G.o.d Tomb later.
“What! How is this possible…”
Hearing these words, Xiao Ruoyin was taken aback for a moment, then her body trembled slightly, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she felt her head buzzing.
She had been cultivating in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, and occasionally heard a lot about Gu Changge’s deeds from many fellows or elders. So her impression of Gu Changge had always been that he was as gentle as jade, a handsome young man, untouched in the troubled times, like a banished immortal.
Her conversation and getting along with Gu Changge also seemed extremely normal and harmonious. But hearing these words from Jiang Chen’s mouth, she was stunned, and her complexion turned slightly pale.
If what Jiang Chen said was true, then how terrifying was Gu Changge?
The appearance he showed in front of her was just the tip of the iceberg, and it was just a disguise. This made Xiao Ruoyin shudder slightly. She had indeed thought about Gu Changge too simply.
“Is everything you said true?” Xiao Ruoyin asked in a trembling voice, trying to calm herself down.
She felt that it was impossible for Jiang Chen to deceive her at this time.
“Every sentence is true, we have known each other for so many years, do you think I will lie to you?” Jiang Chen shook his head and said, “Our old cla.s.smates, including Niu Tian who is still alive, might be dead. They could not be as lucky as me, and they might have turned into a pile of dead bones long ago.”
Xiao Ruoyin’s face turned pale, her body trembled, and she almost couldn’t stand still. She suddenly remembered Gu Changge’s gentleness last night. At that time, he was as gentle as jade, handsome and elegant, so perfect that no one could pick out the slightest flaw.
If it wasn’t for what Jiang Chen said in person, she couldn’t believe that Gu Changge had hidden it so deeply.
“So, Ruoyin, you and I can leave Kunwu City together and find a remote place to cultivate. When we succeed in our cultivation, we will go to Gu Changge to avenge Niu Tian and the others. You have to know that it is impossible for Gu Changge to be nice to you for no reason, he must have some kind of scheme for you.”
Jiang Chen’s expression gradually became serious. He didn’t directly tell Xiao Ruoyin that she was the reincarnation of the Prophet of Destiny.
But he knew that Gu Changge’s treatment of Xiao Ruoyin was definitely related to her reincarnation status. At such a critical juncture, it was naturally impossible for him to let Xiao Ruoyin fall into the fire pit.
“Jiang Chen, I can’t leave with you, I’m a disciple of Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace now. I think… what you said is true, but Mr. Gu must have some of his own reasons.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyin was silent for a while, then shook her head firmly and refused. She knew that once she and Jiang Chen left Kunwu City, then she would face Gu Changge as her enemy.
As long as she thought about it, she couldn’t help the scalp numbness and uncontrollable fear. And she didn’t want to give up everything she had now.
After following Jiang Chen and leaving Kunwu City, what would happen to her Master and her future?
As long as she pretended not to know about these things, and she could be Gu Changge’s woman with peace of mind, then she could still enjoy the respected status, without any shortage of cultivation techniques, and cultivation resources…
How could she give up such a life?
“What!”
Jiang Chen was full of expectations. He thought that after he said this to Xiao Ruoyin, she would understand Gu Changge’s malice, and thus leave with him.
But he never expected that Xiao Ruoyin would refuse so simply. She even said that Gu Changge had his own reasons. This made his head thump. He went blank, it was unbelievable.
“Ruoyin, are you serious? You know that Gu Changge is evil and his kindness to you is fake, but you still don’t want to leave? Do you have the heart to see Niu Tian and the others die in peace? Gu Changge is the enemy who killed them.” Jiang Chen’s complexion turned pale, and his voice was a little regretful and shocked.
He felt that Xiao Ruoyin had changed, and was no longer the Xiao Ruoyin he knew before. She was actually indifferent after knowing the news of Niu Tian and others’ death and had no intention of avenging them.
How good was Gu Changge to her? Was it worth it?
“I understand what you said, but you need to give me some time. I think Mr. Gu must have some difficulties. In my opinion, he is not such a person.” Xiao Ruoyin shook her head and said, her words gradually became firmer.
She said these words to Jiang Chen, but also deceived herself. And she knew very well that if she didn’t say that, Jiang Chen would probably take strong measures to take her away.
“You!” Jiang Chen had a look of regret and disbelief, feeling that his heart was very painful.
In her opinion, the current Xiao Ruoyin was obsessed with obsession, and she would not shed tears unless she saw the coffin.
So what was so good about Gu Changge that he was worthy of her?
This made him very angry, thinking that she was terminally ill and hopeless.
