The Sect Master of the Tianqi Sect was called Gu Qi. He was a genuine Half-saint expert. The girl in green beside him was Gu Qi's daughter, Gu Lingyao.
Gu Lingyao was the goddess in the hearts of countless people in the Tianqi Sect. Not only was she born noble, but she was also extremely beautiful. Her talent was also the best among the younger generation in the Tianqi Sect.
Such a perfect woman naturally made countless disciples of the Tianqi Sect go crazy. Wang Huan was one of them. It could even be said that the reason Wang Huan went out to train for two years was entirely because of Gu Lingyao.
Because of their families, Wang Huan had known Gu Lingyao since they were young. The two of them could be said to be childhood sweethearts. However, Gu Lingyao never looked at Wang Huan because she knew that although Wang Huan looked arrogant and overbearing on the surface, he was actually a delivery man who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Gu Lingyao naturally wouldn't take a fancy to such a man. Gu Lingyao even despised Wang Huan. However, Wang Huan's grandfather was still the Great Elder of the Tianqi Sect. Using his grandfather's identity, Wang Huan could be said to be pestering Gu Lingyao.
Especially in the past few years, Wang Huan followed Gu Lingyao like a shadow. In the end, Gu Lingyao had no choice but to say to Wang Huan.
"I don't like flowers that grow up in a greenhouse. If you want me to take a fancy to you, fine. Go out and train yourself. Come back to me when you've truly grown up."
Gu Lingyao let Wang Huan go out to train alone. However, Gu Lingyao didn't believe that Wang Huan would change. She only did this to get rid of this annoying fly.
Indeed, as Gu Lingyao thought, Wang Huan didn't change much after two years of training. However, Gu Lingyao didn't know that the Wang Huan standing in front of him was no longer the real Wang Huan.
After not seeing each other for two years, Xiao Chen's indifference made Gu Lingyao and the other three surprised. What was going on? In just two years, Wang Huan had become so indifferent towards Gu Lingyao?
Xiao Chen felt strange, but he felt wronged. He really didn't know about the relationship between Wang Huan and Gu Lingyao. Moreover, in Xiao Chen's opinion, although Gu Lingyao was good-looking, she was still inferior to Qin Shuirou and Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. Therefore, when facing Gu Lingyao, Xiao Chen naturally didn't pay much attention to her. But who would have thought that such a small change would make Gu Lingyao, Gu Lingyao, Gu Qi, and the other three people feel very confused.
Gu Qi looked at Xiao Chen with a strange gaze. After a while, he smiled faintly. "Wang Huan, it seems that you haven't wasted these two years. Your cultivation has already broken through to the Beginner Dao Querying Realm."
With Gu Qi's eyesight, he naturally saw through Xiao Chen's cultivation realm. However, he didn't see through Xiao Chen's disguise technique. This made Xiao Chen feel relieved. After all, Gu Qi was a Sage-to-be expert. Who knew if he would see through anything?
Seeing that Gu Qi didn't see through anything, Xiao Chen cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Sect Leader. I should have made some progress in these two years."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen didn't look proud at all. It was as if a breakthrough in cultivation was an extremely normal thing.
A strange look flashed across Gu Qi's eyes again. According to Gu Qi's understanding of Wang Huan, if he had praised him like this in the past, Wang Huan would have lost his sense of direction, let alone be as calm as he was now.
Gu Qi nodded with satisfaction. In Gu Qi's opinion, these two years of experience had indeed brought great benefits to Wang Huan. Compared to two years ago, Wang Huan's temperament and the feeling he gave off now made Gu Qi suddenly have a whole new level of respect for him.
Gu Qi was very satisfied with Wang Huan's change. On the other side, Gu Lingyao was looking at Wang Huan curiously with her beautiful eyes.
If it wasn't for the fact that his appearance hadn't changed much, Gu Lingyao would even suspect that the person standing in front of her was actually Wang Huan. This was because they were simply two different people. Compared to the past, the Wang Huan standing in front of her now made Gu Lingyao's heart flutter for some reason.
She couldn't describe the feeling, but she couldn't help but be attracted to the Wang Huan in front of her. It was still the same face, but the feeling he gave off was completely different. He was otherworldly, confident, and indifferent. From the moment he entered the courtyard until now, Wang Huan's face didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation. It was the same even when he was facing her father, the Sect Master of the Tianqi Sect.
Xiao Chen looked at Gu Lingyao curiously, but he didn't care at all. At this moment, there was only one thought in Xiao Chen's mind, and that was to quickly deal with Gu Qi in front of him so that he could think of the next step of his plan.
After asking Xiao Chen a few questions out of concern, Gu Qi didn't have any suspicions about Xiao Chen from the beginning to the end. Obviously, he had completely treated Xiao Chen as Wang Huan. At the same time, Gu Qi was sincerely happy about Wang Huan's improvement after two years.
"Alright, you must be tired from the long journey. Go and rest early. Don't forget that the sect's internal selection is in two days. Don't embarrass your grandfather at that time," Gu Qi said to Xiao Chen after a series of questions.
Hearing Gu Qi's words, Xiao Chen cupped his hands and replied, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave first."
"He understands etiquette, knows when to advance and retreat, has an extraordinary way of talking, and has a firm mind. Wang Huan has really changed a lot in the past two years. I wonder what he has experienced in the past two years. Perhaps he has suffered a lot." Gu Qi muttered to himself as he watched Xiao Chen's departing figure.
Just as Gu Qi was evaluating Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao stood up and said, "Father, I also want to leave. You guys can chat among yourselves."
Without waiting for Gu Qi's reply, Gu Lingyao ran out of the courtyard by herself. Looking at his daughter's back, Gu Qi shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile. He naturally knew what Gu Lingyao was going to do.
After leaving Gu Qi's place, Xiao Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Facing a Half-saint expert was really stressful. Fortunately, he had successfully passed. Just as Xiao Chen was about to return and chase him out, he suddenly heard Gu Lingyao's voice from behind.
"Wang Huan, wait a minute …"
After following closely behind Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen heard Gu Lingyao's words and stopped in his tracks. He looked at Gu Lingyao, collected his thoughts, and said in a calm tone. "Junior Sister, is something the matter?"
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Gu Lingyao was taken aback at first, but she quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Nothing much. I haven't seen you for two years and wanted to have a chat with you. After all, it was because of me that you left the Equal Sky Sect back then."
Gu Lingyao was even more curious about Xiao Chen's calm and indifferent attitude. At the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable. When she thought of how Wang Huan had pestered her before, but now he was so indifferent, Gu Lingyao felt very uncomfortable. A little girl's temperament was born. Gu Lingyao thought to herself, Is he deliberately distancing himself from me? Hmph, that must be it. He wants to use this to attract my attention.
