"He’s not in Jiuyue Mansion!"
After checking the remaining two, Chen Xuan mumbled to himself.
His expression was sowhat disappointed.
But soon, he smiled with relief.
He had overthought it; how could he be so lucky to find it all at once?
Great Yu has over a hundred mansions.
How could it be that easy!
In the next mont, he activated the array, left the Library Pavilion, and his figure appeared once more on the streets of September City. Coincidentally, it was the location of the Nine Immortals Tower from before.
Now, it had turned into an inn.
The scene of battling the Demon Race here involuntarily popped into his mind.
"Things have changed over ti."
Chen Xuan sighed.
He then prepared to leave, but suddenly halted his steps.
Because he saw a familiar figure.
Gu Huan!
At this mont, he was walking out of the inn’s door.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
"Could I have seen it wrong?"
His expression was sowhat puzzled; just a mont ago, he had felt a trace of demonic power on Gu Huan, albeit very faint.
"Is it possible he’s also a human-demon hybrid?"
"No way!"
Chen Xuan quickly dismissed this thought; the two had seen each other a few tis before.
If he were really a human-demon hybrid, it wouldn’t have taken him this long to notice.
If it were soone else, he certainly wouldn’t ddle, but Gu Huan... he was practically the son-in-law of the Gu Family now.
Since he had seen him, he might as well take a look.
The next mont, a subtle blue light flashed in his eyes, allowing him to see clearly inside Gu Huan’s body.
"Not a Demon Race bloodline."
"Hmm?"
"Why is there a strange light and shadow in his Dantian?"
"It’s that!"
Chen Xuan withdrew his Telepathy.
"What on earth is that?"
He muttered quietly; a mass of light and shadow was actually inside Gu Huan’s Dantian.
If not for his heightened sensitivity after reaching the Dao Realm, he wouldn’t necessarily have noticed.
"Gu Yun probably doesn’t know about it."
He’s only at the second level of the Dao Realm, with Spiritual Power so weak, he certainly wouldn’t have discovered it.
"Sigh!"
Chen Xuan sighed; he hadn’t expected to run into such a situation on this trip, seems he would have to visit Prince Gu’s Mansion.
...
Gu Huan had just returned to Prince Gu’s Mansion.
"Young Master, Lord Gu Wang requests your presence in the study."
The maid in green slightly bowed her head and spoke respectfully.
"What is it about?"
Gu Huan’s brows furrowed slightly; he had just entered the mansion... the maid seed to have been waiting for him all this ti.
"This servant doesn’t know."
"Hmm!"
With a slight nod, he then walked towards the study.
"What could this be about?"
Gu Huan was puzzled; ever since the last ti, he had stayed well-behaved and hadn’t made any mistakes.
Why was he suddenly being summoned?
As he contemplated, he had already arrived at the door of the study.
Just as he was about to step forward and knock, he heard Gu Yun’s voice from inside, "Co in!"
"Who triggered him?"
Gu Huan was even more baffled; the tone of Gu Yun’s voice wasn’t good; in fact, his temper seed rather fiery.
Full of doubt, he pushed open the door and froze as soon as he entered.
Because in the study, not only was Gu Yun present, but so was Chen Xuan.
At this mont, the two were seated on either side above.
"What is he doing here?"
Quickly regaining his composure, Gu Huan gave a slight bow, "Greetings, Father."
Then he turned to Chen Xuan and bowed again, "Greetings, Lord Xuan King."
Although he was technically Chen Xuan’s elder cousin, neither his strength nor his status could compare to Chen Xuan’s.
Yet neither of them spoke; instead, Gu Yun turned to Chen Xuan and gave him a slight nod.
In the next mont, a surge of Spiritual Power, as thick as an arm, suddenly appeared, imdiately enveloping Gu Huan.
"Father!"
Gu Huan looked at Gu Yun and exclaid.
"To this..."
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes went blank.
Chen Xuan directly used the Divine Soul Technique on him.
"Brother Xuan... Is it alright?"
Gu Yun’s voice was sowhat nervous.
After all, this was his own son; directly performing a Soul Search could easily leave aftereffects.
Though Chen Xuan assured there would be no problem, he couldn’t help but bring it up.
"Don’t worry, he’s only at the Profound Realm; his Spiritual Power is pathetically weak, I’ve got it under control."
"Then I’ll trouble Brother Xuan."
Nodding gratefully towards Chen Xuan.
Today, Chen Xuan had suddenly appeared at the mansion and inford him there was a trace of demonic aura in Gu Huan’s body, a statent he could hardly believe at the ti.
But Chen Xuan had no reason to deceive him.
This was why he summoned Gu Huan the mont he returned to the mansion.
At this mont in the study, Chen Xuan used Spiritual Power to simulate scenes from Gu Huan’s mories.
"What an incredible technique!"
Gu Yun’s peripheral vision caught Chen Xuan; although he had seen Dao Realm Spirit Cultivators before, this was the first ti he’d seen soone not only conduct a Soul Search but also project mory scenes directly.
"Brother Gu, you’d better watch carefully."
Chen Xuan, sensing his gaze, said plainly.
"I will."
Gu Yun looked towards the scenes in the study room, which flickered away in an instant.
Though the scenes had no sound, Gu Yun was able to lip-read and narrate them.
Quickly!
"Master!"
Chen Xuan was sowhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Gu Huan to call soone else ’Master’!
"Everything is well, quite a number of soul seeds have been planted."
"Understood, Master!"
....
"How dare he!"
Gu Yun roared in anger; his son, the future heir of the Gu Family, was calling soone else ’Master’.
And what were these soul seeds?
At this mont, he could hold back no longer.
"Brother Gu, calm down. Let’s look at so more, shall we?"
Chen Xuan offered a comforting word.
The scenes began to flash again.
"Let Liu Yanjing take care of it then."
"This was the ti when I confined him."
Gu Yun recalled.
Could it be that sothing happened during that ti?
Soon, Mo Ran’s scene appeared.
