In the palace, surrounded by immortal mist, Gu Changge was dressed in a luxurious robe, sitting on the top seat, emitting a n.o.ble and mysterious aura. When Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue entered, he was drinking quietly with a lazy smile on his handsome face.
“Greetings, Young Master Changge.” Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue just looked up at Gu Changge, then cupped their hands respectfully.
“Brother Yaoxing, Miss Chu Yue, please sit down.” Gu Changge glanced at them as he smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down.
The two couldn’t figure out Gu Changge’s intention for calling them here, but they didn’t dare to disobey Gu Changge’s kindness.
After taking a seat, Yin Mei walked over and poured wine for the two of them. The mellow and long-lasting aroma of the wine permeated the bronze wine gla.s.s, swaying in the bronze wine gla.s.s, intertwined with strands of sunlight.
“Thank you for the wine, Young Master Changge. I wonder why Young Master Changge called us siblings to come here today?” Ji Yaoxing raised his wine gla.s.s, toasted Gu Changge, and asked respectfully.
Ji Chu Yue, who was beside him, wore a light yellow long dress. Her face was as bright as the moon, delicate and white. Her hair was soft, and beautiful. At this moment, she was imitating her brother’s gesture to toast Gu Changge.
The two felt a little uneasy in their hearts. As the saying went, being within the presence of a king was like being with a tiger. With Gu Changge around, they had to think long and hard about even saying a word. They were visibly nervous.
In this Divine Stone Conference, the news that Gu Changge was able to defeat the Red Demon spread all over the world. Many people thought that even if he didn’t use the treasures he obtained in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions before, he could still rival the Enlightened beings.
Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue were even more afraid of him.
“Brother Yaoxing, don’t be nervous. In fact, I called you to discuss rescuing your Ancestor.” Gu Changge said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, the two felt a little relieved, not as nervous as before. Ji Chu Yue also breathed a sigh of relief. She actually couldn’t understand why Gu Changge would help their family so much without expecting anything in return.
Could it be that after rescuing their Ancestor, they would have to solve the disaster of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction? Or maybe there was some other reason.
“Our Ji family will never forget Young Master Changge’s great kindness and virtue. About the matter of rescuing the Ancestor, I have to thank you, Young Master Changge… After discussing with several Ancestors of our family, we decided to act in three days. At that time, all forces will gather at the foot of Mount Kun, and we’ll use the Enlightenment artifact to carve the way…”
Ji Yaoxing didn’t talk nonsense as he informed everything about their plan as there was nothing to hide.
Gu Changge nodded and smiled slightly while drinking, “It’s a good idea. Since it’s three days later, then this Gu must definitely summon the powerhouses of the Gu family and do his part to rescue senior Ji Sheng Chu.”
Hearing this, Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue couldn’t help displaying expressions of grat.i.tude and raised their gla.s.ses to toast Gu Changge. Regardless of Gu Changge’s purpose, he was indeed a great help in helping the Ancestor of the Ji family.
“Actually, I know of the dangers within Mount Kun. I think that if you head there so rashly, the chances of rescuing Senior Ji Sheng Chu are not very high. I wonder if Brother Yaoxing still remembers the guy named Jiang Chen who was in Purple Mountain last time? He actually has the inheritance of the Divine Origin Master, and he has the instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil in all kinds of dangerous places. If we can find him this time, I think it might be of great help.” With that, Gu Changge smiled lightly and suddenly mentioned Jiang Chen meaningfully.
“The Jiang Chen mentioned by Young Master Changge was the one who rushed into Purple Mansion at that time?” Ji Yaoxing’s heart trembled, but he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Ji Chu Yue didn’t expect that Gu Changge would suddenly mention Jiang Chen, she was inexplicably worried about it. She remembered that Jiang Chen always wanted to seek revenge on Gu Changge, but she actually knew about Jiang Chen pretending to be a Divine Origin Master and following An Xi, the eldest lady of the An Clan, this time.
Moreover, what worried her the most was that her brother Ji Yaoxing knew Jiang Chen’s true ident.i.ty now.
“It was indeed him. He didn’t die in Purple Mountain when it collapsed. Then he appeared within the tomb of the Supreme G.o.d, activated the formation pattern and killed many Great sect leaders before s.n.a.t.c.hing the Supreme G.o.d Orb, causing a catastrophe.” Gu Changge shook his head slightly and smiled. He pinned the blame on Jiang Chen in a few words.
Of course, what he said was also the consensus of all the forces in the Upper Realm today. After all, until now, many people were still looking for Jiang Chen’s whereabouts, wanting to avenge their leader.
“I understand. As long as we can find this person, our plan to rescue our Ancestor this time will be very sure.” Ji Yaoxing nodded with a solemn expression, understanding what Gu Changge meant.
He didn’t doubt Jiang Chen’s ability. With such a low level of cultivation, he could kill many Great sect leaders in the Tomb of the Supreme G.o.d. How could this kind of means and courage be compared to ordinary people?
Gu Changge smiled approvingly, and nodded, “Brother Yaoxing understands what I mean. The key to being able to save your Ancestor this time lies in the successor of Divine Origin Master.”
His observers were all over Kunwu City, so as long as he wanted to investigate, he could actually know that Ji Chu Yue went to Jiang Chen some time ago. From this point of view, Ji Yaoxing probably already knew Jiang Chen’s true ident.i.ty.
When Gu Changge told him these things, he just wanted him to catch Jiang Chen and bring him with him. In order not to startle the snake, Gu Changge could only pretend that he didn’t know who Jiang Chen was.
Otherwise, when the time came, Jiang Chen would be frightened and unwilling to use his spare energy to enter Mount Kun. If that happened, Gu Changge’s plan against the Human Ancestor of the Ji family would be in vain.
Afterward, Gu Changge talked to Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue about something, and then he looked tired and waved them off.
“Jiang Chen should find an opportunity to expose the fact that he is carrying a demon seed…” He looked at the backs of the Ji family siblings leaving and tapped the wine gla.s.s lightly.
In terms of cultivation, Jiang Chen and the inheritors of demonic arts were far behind. But this did not prevent Gu Changge from using them to confuse the public and make the already chaotic water even more chaotic.
At the same time, on Kunwu City Street. After Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue said goodbye, they both left for the station with heavy expressions on their faces, appearing to be preoccupied.
“Brother, are you going to expose Jiang Chen’s ident.i.ty?” Finally, Ji Chu Yue couldn’t bear it any longer and asked worriedly.
Hearing this, Ji Yaoxing glanced at her, shook his head, and said, “Then do you think there is any better way?”
“For an irrelevant outsider, you have the heart to see your Ancestor suffer in Mount Kun?” These words made Ji Chu Yue speechless for a moment, unable to find a reason to refute him.
“There is no room for this matter. With regards to rescuing the Ancestor, everything can be given up, even if it’s this friend of yours.” Ji Yaoxing’s words were very indifferent.
“Besides, do you think Gu Changge suddenly mentioning this matter was accidental? Or did he already know something?” These words made Ji Chu Yue’s back shudder, and she was a little frightened after thinking about it.
Ji Yaoxing sighed, “For the sake of the family, sister, what you should do now is actually like Ji Qingxuan…”
“Brother, you also want me to curry favor with Gu Changge?” Ji Chu Yue suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief.
Ji Yaoxing at this moment made her feel very strange.
“This is not my idea, but my father’s. Compared with Ji Qingxuan, you are not weaker than her in appearance, and compared to your status in the Ji family, she is inferior to you. Your conditions are much better than hers… For you and me, the marriage contract is something beyond our control. We have no right to choose.” Ji Yaoxing sighed softly, looking at Ji Chu Yue’s pale face, he couldn’t bear it.
“So all of you plan to let me be Gu Changge’s concubine?” Ji Chu Yue’s face turned pale, and she clenched her hands tightly.
“If that’s the case, that’s okay, but it seems that Gu Changge probably doesn’t like you.” Ji Yaoxing sighed, “You have to know that even without Gu Changge, your future husband will be a young master from other forces.”
“I know you have some affection for that Jiang Chen, but he is just a poor boy with no power and influence, especially since he offended Gu Changge…” It was the first time that Ji Chu Yue’s delicate body trembled and her face turned pale when she heard such cruel words from her brother’s mouth, which was a little hard to accept. But she also knew that this was reality.
In the northwest corner of Kunwu City, in an extremely quiet courtyard. An Xi, Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, Xiao Zhanxian, and others were gathered here, talking and laughing happily, appearing extremely chic and natural.
There were all kinds of delicacies on the table, and there were many beautiful maids serving on the side.
“This kind of life is the life that a cultivator should have.” Jiang Chen looked at the table full of delicacies, and couldn’t help feeling emotional, thinking of his hard-pressed life these days.
The meat of these ferocious beasts in front of him were priced at ten thousand spirit stones at every turn. Usually, he didn’t dare to look at it too much, even the maid who served beside him was beautiful, charming, and cute.
Such a life made him envious. Only the descendants of the Ancient Immortal forces and the Supreme sects like An Xi and Xiao Zhanxian could easily enjoy these things. The resource that ordinary cultivators had been pursuing all their lives, they had it since they were born.
“Brother Jiang, if you think about it, with your status as a Divine Origin Master, wouldn’t it be easy to obtain all of this?” Xiao Zhanxian smiled lightly. His refined smile on the handsome face, and golden crosses flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Judging from his aura, he had actually almost recovered, not as the outside world guessed that his origin was seriously injured.
Jiang Chen smiled wryly, “Brother Zhanxian is overpraising, I’m still very clear about my own level.”
Afterward, after a few gla.s.ses of wine, his face turned red. Seeing this feast, he couldn’t help but think of Xiao Ruoyin again, and his mood suddenly became extremely depressed.
“Where is there no gra.s.s at the end of the world, Xiao Chen, why do you keep thinking about her?” After the Divine Stone Conference, Niu Tian also asked Jiang Chen about Xiao Ruoyin.
He understood a little bit of side-talking, so he couldn’t help persuading him at this moment, appearing extremely concerned.
“Niu Tian, you don’t understand. Now, I finally understand why she left so resolutely. After all, following Gu Changge, her daily life is a thousand times more luxurious than everything in front of her. How can she give up? ” Jiang Chen’s eyes were a little red, his fists were clenched tightly, and his voice was low and hoa.r.s.e.
He was very unwilling. Looking back at this time, Xiao Ruoyin walked in the wrong posture and spoke in secretive ways. What did that mean?
It’s ridiculous that he naively thought at the time that she really twisted her foot.
“Xiao Ruoyin shouldn’t be the kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich and follows power. I think she must have some difficulties. Maybe it’s involuntary.” Seeing Jiang Chen’s heartbroken appearance, Niu Tian also sighed endlessly.
An Xi, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t help showing a strange look on her face at this moment, as she somewhat understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that during this period of time, Jiang Chen also encountered the incident of Gu Changge stealing his love. His beloved woman was taken away by Gu Changge.
In this way, this was a better opportunity for her to win over Jiang Chen. But just when An Xi was about to speak, to persuade and comfort Jiang Chen.
Outside the courtyard, a murderous intent suddenly enveloped the place, with a chilling aura that suddenly enveloped the place.
“Not good… there are a.s.sa.s.sins!” Xiao Zhanxian immediately sensed that something was wrong, his complexion suddenly changed, and he stood up.
