The speaker is Ji Yue Ru, who seems to have been waiting for Xu Guang.
She hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The man, who called himself Hong Xu’s cousin, seed to know Ji Yue Ru. "Ji Yue Ru, what’s your relationship with him?"
"What’s it to you?"
Xu Guang looked at the man opposite with interest, observing so things.
Hong Zhen looked at Xu Guang with increasingly dangerous eyes, "Do you only know how to hide behind a woman’s back? You should be thankful that you haven’t broken through to Second Grade, otherwise I’d show you that killing you is as easy as crushing an ant."
Xu Guang chuckled at these words.
"An ant?"
He didn’t want to engage in a war of words with Hong Zhen; it was aningless and would only make him a laughingstock.
"Then I really look forward to you trying to crush ."
After he spoke, he couldn’t be bothered to look at Hong Zhen. In the Northern Emperor Academy, if this person dared to make a move on him, he’d really be impressive.
"I hope you really dare to co."
Hong Zhen snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Ji Yue Ru asked anxiously, "Senior Brother Xu, Hong Zhen is very strong, with ninety-six wins in the Second Grade tournant, making him one of the star contestants."
"Thank you."
Ji Yue Ru still wanted to say sothing more, but Xu Guang and Bai Xiao Zhu had already gone far away.
She stood in place, sowhat dazed.
How could he be like this? She wanted to seize the chance to say a few more words.
...
When Xu Guang arrived at the Northern Emperor Tower, he unexpectedly found soone already waiting for him.
Bai Xiao Zhu obediently saluted the person and left.
Xu Guang also bowed slightly.
Gu Shuo glanced at Xu Guang and imdiately led him to a room on the first floor of the Northern Emperor Tower.
"I wanted to talk to you earlier, but it got delayed for almost a year."
Gu Shuo looked at Xu Guang with a sense of nostalgia.
Xu Guang smiled, but he was pondering Gu Shuo’s purpose for seeking him out.
"You ca from Li Taizhou; how much do you know about its past?"
Gu Shuo’s voice carried a hint of unease.
"What aspect is the Ancient Inspection Envoy referring to?"
"Have you ever heard of Gu Jiyun?"
Xu Guang’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart trembled.
Gu Jiyun...
This na has beco sowhat distant in his mory. Previously, when he first t Gu Shuo, he had wondered if Gu Shuo was related to Gu Jiyun, and now it seed they should be from the sa family.
Xu Guang wasn’t sure
Gu Jiyun had followed his ancestor Gou Yuan to Li Taizhou, and the reason must have been recorded long ago in the Gu family. If he said anything random, it would only alienate Gu Shuo.
His sole concern was the matter of the Qinghua Emperor’s palace, and what would happen if Gu Shuo found out.
The Emperor’s palace, who in the world wouldn’t be tempted?
"Is it difficult for you?"
Gu Shuo frowned and asked in a low voice.
"The True King of Heavenly Martial Arts wishes to take you as a disciple. If you don’t trust , I’m willing to take you before the True King, and in his presence, I wouldn’t dare to make any moves."
Am I worried about you?
This isn’t the concern. It’s what happens if the purpose of Gu Jiyun’s visit to Li Taizhou for the Qinghua Emperor’s palace on Lanshan gets exposed; the endless troubles that would ensue, not to ntion Gu Shuo—Saints and powerful figures above saints would be extrely tempted.
Then, what difference would his situation have from Tang Monk?
The only person who has managed to walk out alive from the Qinghua Emperor’s palace, even obtaining the Secret Technique.
Even if he’s willing to share the Extre Soul path, he will find no peace in the future.
"It’s not difficult, but the younger generation just finds the na Gu Jiyun sowhat familiar; to truly say I’ve seen or heard it... I haven’t."
Gu Shuo looked deeply at Xu Guang.
But he didn’t force him, though so unusual thoughts arose in his mind. This Xu Guang...
Must know sothing.
If it weren’t for the True King of Heavenly Martial Arts, he might indeed employ so thods regarding Gu Jiyun’s matter.
"In that case, let’s leave it at that. If you recall anything about your ancestor in the future, you can co to . I represent the Gu family in owing you a huge favor."
This enormous favor is truly an elusive reward, nothing more than an illusion.
Gu Shuo’s bold words now would surely turn into an act of silencing if he ca to know about the Emperor’s palace.
Xu Guang nodded forcefully, "The Ancient Inspection Envoy has shown kindness; Xu Mou isn’t one to forget favors."
...
After Gu Shuo left, Xu Guang calmly walked out of the room and returned to his residence.
Jiang Zi Yun was already waiting. "What’s wrong?"
Seeing Xu Guang looking troubled, she hurried forward to inquire.
Xu Guang shook his head, "Nothing."
Suddenly, moved inside, "By the way, Madam, you’re knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of soone nad Gu Jiyun when you were in Li Taizhou?"
Speaking, his eyes focused on Jiang Zi Yun, concealing his Divine Thought.
Jiang Zi Yun furrowed her brows in thought for a mont and shook her head, "I think not."
...
Outside the courtyard.
Gu Shuo stood in the clouds, his expression subtle as he listened to Xu Guang and his wife’s conversation, feeling sowhat surprised.
"Could it be Xu Guang really doesn’t know the ancestor’s affairs?"
But he constantly had a gut feeling that Xu Guang definitely knew sothing,
But considering the high regard the True King of Heavenly Martial Arts held Xu Guang in, he finally suppressed so negative thoughts.
Masters who have cultivated to such a degree certainly aren’t soft-hearted; emotions have never been a factor in their actions, let alone the fact he and Xu Guang didn’t truly share any feelings.
Although he took Xu Guang away from Li Taizhou, the North Pole Six Institutions benefited greatly from unearthing Xu Guang and Zhuge Wuliang, two extraordinary geniuses, granting him many valuable treasures.
’Hopefully, you truly know nothing, or else...’
Gu Shuo’s eyes flickered, and then his form disappeared into the air.
...
Once Gu Shuo completely left, the haze lingering in Xu Guang’s heart finally dispersed entirely.
