Han Tian and the other two were surprised and worried. They carefully looked at Wutian's expression.
He looked very calm and there was nothing strange about him. However, his white hair was the best proof. It was enough to explain his mood for the past month.
"I've made you guys worry."
When he saw the three of them, Wutian's expression softened. There was a hint of a smile on his face. However, it disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a cold expression.
"You … must be hungry. Let's go barbecue!" Han Tian was somewhat incoherent. When one reached the Channel Opening Stage, they could already abstain from eating. It did not matter whether they ate or not.
Wutian said, "We'll talk later. Shishi, take me to see your father."
"Oh!" The little girl nodded.
"Wutian, do you want us to accompany you …"
Wutian smiled and said, "No need. You guys prepare the barbecue and a few jins of good wine. Just wait for me."
"Alright!" Han Tian nodded.
Wutian carried Shishi and walked out of the room. Under the little girl's guidance, they quickly disappeared in front of Han Tian and the other two.
"Little guy, did you notice that Wutian seems to be strange?"
The little guy held his chin and muttered, "Han Erhuo, your brain is finally blessed."
"Blessed? Idiot? "
Han Tian roared, "Bastard, I told you not to call me an idiot. Can't you understand human language? Oh, I forgot, you're not human. "
This was the sentence that the little guy hated the most. This time, it was the little guy's turn to be angry, "Han Erhuo, if you have the guts, say it again. The Frog Lord will suppress you for ten thousand years."
"Come, who's afraid of who!"
The two bickered and began to prepare the tools needed for the barbecue.
The Asura Palace was very big. It was densely packed with palaces and buildings. If they walked, they would not be able to finish touring it in a few months.
Wutian seemed to be walking slowly, but his speed was very fast. He could shrink the ground into an inch, and a single step could cover fifty to sixty feet.
A moment later, under Shi Shi's guidance, Wutian arrived in front of a palace. A glorious and majestic aura immediately greeted him. The door of the palace was engraved with three huge golden words: Great Highness!
This was a forbidden area. Other than the Asura Palace's Palace Master, no one dared to step into this place, including the other eleven Venerables.
Whoosh!
A black shadow appeared and landed in front of them. It was the Shadow Guard who had led them to the Green Mountain Residence a month ago.
The secret guard said respectfully, "Young Master, the Great Venerable has been waiting for you. Please come with me."
"Waiting for me?"
Wutian fell into deep thought as he followed Huang Xiaolong into the palace. The interior of the palace was also decorated in an imposing manner. There was a dazzling array of colored glaze, agate, and jade. If Han Tian were here, he would know that this was the first place they had visited when they arrived at the Asura Palace a month ago.
"Greetings to the Great Venerable!" The Shadow Guard knelt down on one knee and said, "Great Venerable, Wutian has arrived."
On the high platform in front of them, there was a golden throne carved with dragons and phoenixes. The Great Venerable was sitting on it. Hearing the Shadow Guard's words, he opened his eyes and said lightly, "Yes, you can leave now."
"Yes!"
The Shadow Guard bowed respectfully and left.
Wutian's eyes were calm as he looked at the black clothed middle-aged man sitting on the throne. The man was eight feet tall, and looked quite skinny. His eyebrows were like ink paintings, and the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, like two curved blades pointing at his temples. His pitch-black eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see through a person's heart.
This was the first time Wutian had been so close to this peerless hero. He didn't deliberately release his aura, but it still made him feel nervous.
At the same time, the Great Venerable was also looking at Wutian. Wutian's straight back was calm, and his expression was neither servile nor overbearing. There weren't many people who could remain so calm when facing an expert who was countless times stronger than them. A hint of admiration flashed through the Great Venerable's eyes.
Especially when he saw Wutian's white hair, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
With a swoosh, the Great Venerable appeared beside Wutian. However, when he looked at Shi Shi, a hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes.
"Shi Shi, are you still angry with me?"
His tone was very gentle. At this moment, he was no longer the Great Venerable who could cover the sky with one hand. Instead, he was a father who loved his daughter dearly and longed for her forgiveness.
"Hmph!" The little girl raised her head and ignored him.
The Great Venerated smiled and said, "Shishi, daddy has already explained it to you. I was forced to send you to … Angel Peak. Daddy is also doing this to protect you. I want you to grow up safely and live a happy life. Can you forgive daddy?"
"If you don't forgive me, I won't live with you. I want to follow my brother." The little girl didn't even look at him and said directly.
The smile on the Great Venerable's face froze. With a bitter expression, he looked at Wutian for help.
Wutian shook his head and said, "Perhaps you have good intentions and want to protect Shi Shi. However, you don't know that for a child, nothing is more important than the love of her parents. Nothing is warmer than the company of her parents."
"Sigh, how could I not know that?"
The Great Venerable sighed and said, "To outsiders, the Asura Palace seems to be very united and harmonious. However, in reality, there are turbulent undercurrents and dangers lurking everywhere. Especially since I am the Great Venerable and am in charge of everything in the Asura Palace. I have offended countless people. Even other Venerables have bad intentions toward me. If I don't send Shi Shi away, I'm afraid she will be implicated."
Wutian sneered and said, "You don't need to use such a dignified excuse. In fact, you are just afraid that someone will use Shi Shi as a bargaining chip to threaten you."
Facing Wutian's merciless refutation, the Great Venerable didn't get angry. He smiled helplessly and said, "You are right. At the end of the year, when I saw you and Shi Shi together, her face was full of smiles. She was so happy, so happy. Only then did I realize that my previous actions were indeed wrong."
"At the end of the year?"
The Great Venerable said with a smile, "Hehe, in fact, I already knew that Shi Shi was with you. It's just that I didn't want to disturb her."
Wutian asked doubtfully, "Fire Cicadas … Di Tian also knows that Shi Shi is your daughter?"
"At first, he didn't know. In the end, I told him to secretly protect Shi Shi."
"Therefore, at the end of the year, he was so generous and gave Shi Shi a Light Element Essence. Or, I should say, it was you who gave it to Shi Shi!" Wutian suddenly realized.
The Great Venerable nodded his head.
"Even so, I can't be at ease to hand Shi Shi over to you. Although you are her father, you didn't fulfill your responsibility as a father."
Wutian looked at Shi Shi and said, "I have never seen my parents since I was young. I have never felt the love of a parent. Therefore, I understand her feelings very well. That's why I took her with me when I left. Although Shi Shi and I don't have the same blood, I have already treated her as my younger sister. I won't allow anyone to harm her. "
Then, he stared at the Great Venerable and said decisively, "You are no exception."
The Great Venerable smiled. He smiled very happily. How could he not be happy when there was such a person who cared so much about his daughter?
When Shi Shi was bullied before, Wutian showed an iron-blooded side. He was also very clear about it. Sometimes, when he thought about it, he felt that he was really a failure as a father. There was no outsider who understood his daughter and loved her dearly.
"Thank you!" The Great Venerable thanked him sincerely.
Wutian shook his head, "You don't need to thank me. Since Shi Shi calls me big brother, it is my responsibility to protect her. Moreover, we have already agreed that I will protect her for the rest of her life."
"That's right. Big brother will protect Shi Shi for the rest of her life. You go to the side. I don't know you. I hate you!" The little girl waved her fist at the Great Venerable. She wrinkled her little nose and said fiercely.
"For the rest of her life …"
Looking at the two people, the Great Venerable's expression was uncertain. His eyes flickered.
"Shi Shi, go out and play. Big brother has something to tell your father." Wutian put the little girl on the ground and rubbed her little head. He said with a smile.
"En, hurry up. Han Erhuo is still waiting for us to barbecue meat." The little girl reminded him. Then, she skipped and happily ran out.
Then, Wutian looked at the Great Venerable and said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, "If you have something to say, just say it."
The Great Venerable acted as if he didn't hear it. He frowned and looked pensive.
"Since you don't want to say it, why don't you let me guess." Wutian said indifferently, "Are you also coveting my body?"
"En?!"
The Great Venerable suddenly raised his head and stared at Wutian. His eyes were filled with surprise.
Wutian said indifferently, "As expected, I guessed correctly."
"How did you know?" The Great Venerable asked doubtfully.
"Back then, Di Tian told me that Kong Lingzi wasn't the only one coveting my body. There were also a few others. Di Tian was a spy you sent to the Yan Sect more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, Di Tian was only a few years old. It was impossible for him to know anyone else. In addition, your desire for Kong Lingzi's remnant soul, you didn't hesitate to plan for several hundred years. You even reached an agreement with the Yan Sect. Combining these two together, it's not hard to guess. "
Wutian sneered, "To make the Great Venerable so cautious, I believe it must be for someone very important. As the strongest expert of the Asura Palace, the Great Venerable is also a famous existence in the Azure Dragon Continent. There's almost no one who can make you go this far.
Furthermore, I don't believe that the Great Venerable, who has great talent and unparalleled fighting strength, would save me just because I'm your daughter's friend. The only explanation is the Asura Palace's Palace Master. Only he has the ability and the qualifications to make you go all out. Great Venerable, I'm not wrong, am I? "
The Great Venerable's eyes flickered as he seriously observed the young man in front of him. He couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for him.
He was only seventeen years old and had only stepped onto the path of cultivation for a little more than a year. Yet, he had such an accurate analytical ability. Furthermore, even though he knew he was being schemed against, he could still maintain such a calm state of mind. If he didn't die prematurely, he would definitely become a formidable person in the future.
"You're right, I'm indeed coveting your body, and all of this is for the Palace Master!" The Great Venerable didn't deny it.
"A thousand years ago, the Asura Palace was jointly attacked by all the sects of the Azure Dragon Continent. The Palace Master overcame all obstacles, and fought against ten enemies alone. He killed countless powerful enemies, but he also suffered a serious injury and died. Fortunately, he kept his Primordial Spirit intact. Only the twelve of us know about this."
"Intact Primordial Spirit? Isn't that easy to seize? Why wait until now? "Wutian asked in confusion.
The Great Venerable looked at him and said, "Actually, the Asura Palace's cultivation method is similar to yours. It mainly focuses on the cultivation of the body and strength. On the contrary, it doesn't pay much attention to cultivation methods."
Wutian asked in surprise, "You're also body cultivators?"
The Great Venerable shook his head, "Although we pay attention to the cultivation of the body, we don't have any body refinement techniques. Therefore, we're not true body cultivators."
"So that's how it is!" Wutian understood, then asked in confusion, "Don't tell me you don't know about the Art of Celestial Body Refinement?"
"Art of Celestial Body Refinement?" The Great Venerable frowned, then his eyes lit up, "Could it be that you have a body refinement technique?"
Wutian was stunned. Looking at the Great Venerable's expression, it was obvious that he didn't know about the Art of Celestial Body Refinement in the Yan Sect. His eyes flickered, but he didn't answer in the end. He signaled for the Great Venerable to continue.
