At the same time, Duan Lingtian began to study Gu Li seriously.
Gu Li was a muscular young man who was 1.9 meters tall. He wore a slightly tight-fitting robe that accentuated his perfect muscles, giving off a sense of strength.
Apart from that, Gu Li's face was filled with determination. He emitted a manly charm. This could be seen from the infatuated looks in the eyes of many Mystical Sky Mansion's female disciples when they looked at him.
"The strongest person on the Mystical Sky Ranking? He's only in his early fifties, but his cultivation base has already reached the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage? "
Through the whispers in the surroundings, Duan Lingtian easily learned about Gu Li. He was shocked as well.
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.
"The only son of a Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardian?"
Duan Lingtian finally realized that not only was Gu Li's innate talent and strength high, but his background was not simple as well. He was actually the only son of one of the two Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardians.
The two Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardians were widely acknowledged as powerhouses who were second only to the Mansion Master in the Mystical Sky Mansion.
Although his background was slightly inferior to Zhao Ji's, it was not too far off.
After all, Zhao Ji only had a Vice Mansion Master as his father.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian knew the reason the Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples present on the scene respected Gu Li was not because of Gu Li's background, but because of Gu Li's strength.
Zhao Ji's background was slightly more powerful than Gu Li's, but how many people would treat him with such respect?
"Senior Brother Gu Li, do you know Ling Tian?"
Zhao Bai Ju asked anxiously as he looked at Gu Li.
Although he really wanted to stand up for his Junior Brother and take revenge, when faced with Gu Li, he felt powerless in his heart.
If Gu Li really wanted to protect Ling Tian, he and Zhao Hei Tu would not be able to do anything.
Therefore, he could only pray in his heart, hoping that Gu Li had only come out to watch the show, and not to help Ling Tian … Even though he himself felt that this possibility was close to zero, he couldn't help but think this way.
"No, I don't."
However, Gu Li's indifferent reply made Zhao Baiju's eyes light up. Even Zhao Hei Tu's eyes lit up.
Gu Li didn't know Ling Tian?
The moment Gu Li finished speaking, the dark clouds on Zhao Ji's face instantly dispersed, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.
"Since this Gu Li doesn't know him, why did he come out for no reason? Do you want to show your presence? "
Zhao Ji was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Senior Brother Gu Li doesn't know Ling Tian?"
The moment Gu Li's words left his mouth, apart from Duan Lingtian, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples present on the scene was stunned as well.
Initially, they thought Gu Li was the helper Ling Tian had found. However, it did not cross their minds that Gu Li would actually say he did not know Ling Tian at such a critical moment.
"It seems like we're all wrong. Senior Brother Gu Li isn't the helper Ling Tian found."
"When Senior Brother Gu Li appeared, I thought Ling Tian would be able to escape this calamity. However, it didn't cross my mind that Senior Brother Gu Li didn't come for Ling Tian! Since Senior Brother Gu Li doesn't know Ling Tian, it seems like there's no reason for him to help Ling Tian. "
"Perhaps, Senior Brother Gu Li only wants to watch the show and has no intention of helping Ling Tian at all."
…
Many Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples whispered among themselves as they looked at Duan Lingtian with a hint of pity in their eyes.
In their opinion, since Gu Li did not know Duan Lingtian, he was definitely not the helper Duan Lingtian had found. Without Gu Li's help, Duan Lingtian, naturally, would not be a match for Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu even if he had Wang Pi's help.
"Senior Brother Gu Li doesn't know Junior Brother Ling Tian?"
Wang Pi's expression turned grave. He felt as though he had fallen from heaven to hell like a deflated balloon.
Although he had planned to help Duan Lingtian since the beginning, he knew his own limits. Even if he helped, he would not be able to stop Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu.
At this moment, Gu Li's appearance was like a flame that appeared in the darkness, igniting the hope in his heart.
As long as Gu Li was willing to help, Junior Brother Ling Tian would definitely be able to turn the situation around!
When Wang Pi saw Gu Li's appearance, he thought Gu Li knew his Junior Brother Ling Tian.
However, he did not expect Gu Li did not know his Junior Brother Ling Tian at all!
Since he did not know him, there was no reason for him to help.
Similar to Wang Pi, Wang Fei Xuan also sighed in relief when Gu Li appeared. She thought Gu Li was Duan Lingtian's friend and would help Duan Lingtian. Otherwise, why would he appear for no reason?
However, when Gu Li said he was not Duan Lingtian's friend, her expression changed again.
However, when she saw Duan Lingtian remained calm from the beginning until the end and had an indifferent expression on his face, her expression softened again. 'Based on this guy's expression, he doesn't seem to know Gu Li as well. In that case, his confidence doesn't come from Gu Li.
Don't tell me he really has a way to fight an Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator with his cultivation base at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage? '
When Wang Fei Xuan thought of this, she began to look forward to it even though she found it unbelievable.
She looked at Duan Lingtian as her eyes shone brightly. She muttered to herself, 'I hope you're not bragging.'
"As it turns out, Senior Brother Gu Li doesn't know him."
Zhao Hei Tu looked at Gu Li and grinned before his expression turned grave immediately. "Senior Brother Gu Li, this Ling Tian is too arrogant. Not only did he injure my Little Junior Brother, but he even humiliated him in front of everyone … Today, as long as Senior Brother Gu Li can make things easy for us, our Zhao Clan will owe you a favor."
Slap!
The moment Zhao Hei Tu's words left his mouth, the crisp sound of a slap resonated in the air. Gu Li did not seem to have made any move, but Zhao Hei Tu's head suddenly tilted to the side. Half of his face was swollen from the slap.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, y-you …" Zhao Hei Tu was furious when he saw Zhao Hei Tu.
Zhao Hei Tu was naturally angry after being slapped for no reason. However, he didn't dare to show it in front of Gu Li. He just looked at Gu Li with a blank and aggrieved face.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of showing me your attitude? Who do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of me making things easy for you? Who do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of representing the Zhao Clan? "
Gu Li said nonchalantly as he looked at Zhao Hei Tu with a mocking smile on his face.
When the others, including Duan Lingtian, saw this scene, they were stunned. They did not know what Gu Li was trying to do.
He clearly did not know Duan Lingtian, but he had slapped Zhao Hei Tu at this moment.
Although Zhao Hei Tu's expression was a little gloomy, everyone knew that he was showing his attitude to Duan Lingtian. However, Gu Li had seized on this point and said that he was showing his attitude to Zhao Hei Tu and slapped him.
He was clearly trying to protect Duan Lingtian!
"Gu Li, don't you dare cross the line!"
Zhao Ji's expression darkened as he glared at Gu Li.
Although his strength was far inferior to Gu Li's, he was not afraid of Gu Li. After all, he had a powerful background.
However, Gu Li acted as if he did not hear his furious roar at all. From start to finish, he did not pay any attention to him.
Zhao Ji was instantly enraged. It was as though his eyes were about to spit fire at any moment.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, didn't you say that you don't know Ling Tian?"
Unlike Zhao Ji who was fearless, Zhao Bai Ju's face was filled with bitterness and confusion when he looked at Gu Li.
As soon as Zhao Bai Ju finished speaking, everyone, including Duan Lingtian, turned to look at Gu Li.
They were also curious about this. They did not know why Gu Li would stand up for Duan Lingtian and protect Duan Lingtian even though he did not know Duan Lingtian.
"Who said that I can't help him just because I don't know him?"
Gu Li glanced at Zhao Bai Ju indifferently. The corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. "What? Do you have a problem with that? "
Zhao Bai Ju was instantly speechless.
Problem?
Of course, he had a problem with that!
However, did he dare to say it out loud?
He was not Zhao Ji. Gu Li cared about his master and the Old Guardian. Even if he attacked Zhao Ji, he would not be ruthless.
As for him, even if he was killed by Gu Li, his death would be in vain!
Although he was willing to die for his master, he wanted to make sure his death was worth it. If he were to be killed by Duan Lingtian now, it would be pointless.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, hurry up and thank Senior Brother Gu Li!"
At this time, Wang Pi's voice rang in Duan Lingtian's ears. Wang Pi was reminding Duan Lingtian.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, he immediately regained his senses. He looked at Gu Li's back and cupped his hands together slightly. "Senior Brother Gu Li, thank you."
"Haha …"
When Gu Li heard Duan Lingtian's voice, he immediately turned around and looked at Duan Lingtian. He laughed out loud. "Junior Brother Ling Tian, I've heard about you a long time ago. However, I've never had the chance to meet you. Today, the Heavenly Palace is competing for a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone. I'm here to see you.
In the past, I only knew that your Martial Dao talent is monstrous and even better than mine. However, I don't know much about you as a person.
After everything that has happened, I realized that Junior Brother Ling Tian is to my liking! "
When Gu Li reached the end of his sentence, it was as though he regretted not having met him earlier.
"Then, it's my honor."
Duan Lingtian smiled as well.
Even if Gu Li did not stand up for him, he was not afraid of Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu.
However, Gu Li was unaware of this.
Due to this reason, he owed Gu Li a favor.
At the same time, the Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples present on the scene finally understood why Gu Li would stand up for Duan Lingtian even though he did not know Duan Lingtian at all. As it turned out, he felt sorry for not having met Duan Lingtian earlier.
Gu Li and Duan Lingtian, the former was widely acknowledged as the number one genius in the past several hundred years in the Mystical Sky Mansion while the latter was widely acknowledged as the number one genius in the past several hundred years in the Mystical Sky Mansion. The moment both of them met, they instantly became friends. It just so happened that birds of a feather flock together.
"Gu Li!"
Just when many people, including Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu, thought the matter had come to an end, Zhao Ji's eyes were burning with rage. His sharp gaze landed on Gu Li as he said in a deep voice, "Are you deliberately going against me?"
His voice was cold and deep as though it came from an ice cave. It sent chills down one's spine.
"Little Junior Brother!"
