"Gu …!"
Suddenly, Fatso Huang, who had been following beside Ye Xuan, took a step forward. He looked at Gu Beichen with great surprise in his eyes and was about to call out his name. However, before he could do anything, his eyes suddenly moved and he stopped in his tracks. He fell silent once again.
Obviously, Fatso Huang recognized Gu Beichen at a glance. Although Gu Beichen had changed his appearance, he was extremely familiar with Gu Beichen's aura after interacting with him for so many years. Moreover, Ye Xuan had placed them in various orthodoxies back then. Fatso Huang knew that Gu Beichen had entered the Demonic World. It was only natural that he would become the Demonic Ancestor's disciple.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan's expression was calm. He looked at Gu Beichen with a calm and indifferent expression. It was as if he really did not know Gu Beichen at all.
"No need for formalities."
Ye Xuan waved his hand. Only then did Gu Beichen bow and stand up. When he saw Ye Xuan, his eyes reddened slightly. However, he soon calmed down. Obviously, he knew that this was not the time to reunite.
"My master has written a letter for Ruochen to pass to Ye Tiandi."
Gu Beichen flipped his hand and a letter appeared. Venus Taibai quickly took the letter and quickly passed it to Ye Xuan.
After receiving the letter, Ye Xuan casually opened it and read the contents. However, when Ye Xuan's gaze fell on the letter, his expression slightly froze. His brows slightly furrowed, and then he slowly closed the letter.
"We will decide on the date of the new Emperor's ascension. Other than Fatso Huang, all of you may leave," Ye Xuan said softly.
Ye Xuan suddenly waving everyone back naturally caused everyone to feel strange. However, no one dared to ask and they all began to leave. However, before they left, they looked at Gu Beichen with a puzzled expression.
Very soon.
The entire Heavenly Emperor Palace was empty. Even the Empyrean Fairy and the others had left. Only Ye Xuan and the other two were left in the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
"Sir!"
When everyone had left, Gu Beichen finally couldn't control his emotions and bowed to Ye Xuan. His face was filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
"You've worked hard for the past hundred thousand years."
Without waiting for Gu Beichen to bow, Ye Xuan hurriedly helped him up. Fatso Huang grinned and kept patting Gu Beichen's shoulder. He laughed and said, "Well done, Gu Beichen. I didn't expect you to become a Sage-to-be. I, Fatso Huang, am only a Zenith Heaven Realm Divine Immortal even with the help of your Peach of Immortality Golden Elixir."
"Damned Fatso, you're used to being lazy. If you cultivated seriously, you would have become a Sage-to-be under the guidance of your Sir." Gu Beichen scolded jokingly.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for over a hundred thousand years, and now that they were reunited, they were extremely happy. As for Ye Xuan, he sighed. Both of them had followed him from the human world, and it had been almost two hundred thousand years.
Immortal cultivation had no concept of time. The sea changed into mulberry fields. At this moment, Ye Xuan finally had a deep understanding of this saying.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Gu Beichen and Fatso Huang joked and joked for a while. Then, Gu Beichen looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Sir, I have something important to report to you."
After Gu Beichen finished speaking, he quickly told him about the cooperation between Luo Hou and Nüwa. He also told him about Luo Hou's plot to obtain the Power of People Dao.
"Nüwa, that b * tch. She still hasn't given up on her evil intentions. It seems like she's tired of living." Fatso Huang said in a low voice.
"Sir, in three hundred years, Nüwa will attack the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race. If she really succeeds in obtaining the Power of People Dao, then Luo Hou will definitely invade the Celestial Court. I'm afraid …!" Gu Beichen said worriedly.
"Haha!"
A smile appeared on Ye Xuan's lips. This also startled Gu Beichen and Fatso Huang. They didn't know why Ye Xuan was smiling. They both looked at Ye Xuan.
"Beichen, guess what's written in the letter that Luo Hou asked you to bring?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.
Looking at Ye Xuan's smile, Gu Beichen was puzzled. However, he still made a guess. "This Luo Hou's cultivation is unfathomable. I've never been able to see through him. Furthermore, this person is extremely shrewd. I'm afraid that this letter is written to befriend you. Perhaps it's also a way for him to test you?"
"Take a look for yourself."
Ye Xuan casually tossed the letter to Gu Beichen. Gu Beichen caught it and flipped through it.
"How can this be?"
Suddenly, Gu Beichen's expression froze. This was because the letter in his hand had no words at all. It was just an ordinary piece of white paper.
"A letter without words?"
"This … what is this Luo Hou up to?"
When Fatso Huang saw the blank piece of paper in Gu Beichen's hand, he exclaimed in shock.
"Sir, could this letter be hiding something?" Gu Beichen looked at Ye Xuan, puzzled.
Looking at Gu Beichen and Fatso Huang's puzzled expressions, the smile on Ye Xuan's face gradually disappeared. His expression was slightly indifferent as he said, "I've underestimated this Luo Hou. This piece of white paper has no words. He's telling me four words."
"Sir, please enlighten me." Gu Beichen asked.
"I know!"
Ye Xuan whispered as he said four words. He also began to answer the questions in Gu Beichen's heart, as well as the meaning behind the letter.
The so-called white paper was spotless. There was not a single word written on it. It was written on ordinary paper. "Letter" was synonymous with "know".
What Luo Hou wanted to express was that his mind was clear. Everything was under his control. Nothing could go against him. Luo Hou was also laying all his cards on the table for Ye Xuan.
Therefore, there were only four simple words on this blank piece of paper: I'm well aware of it.
"This … this …?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's answer, Gu Beichen's face turned slightly pale. He seemed to have vaguely understood something. His eyes were trembling at this moment.
"Luo Hou had long discovered your identity. He just didn't expose you. He even put in a lot of effort to nurture you and let you step into the Sage-to-be. He's given me a big gift." Ye Xuan laughed softly.
Boom!
Gu Beichen felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind, and he was rooted to the spot. His mind kept replaying the scenes with Luo Hou, and a sense of shame and anger flashed across his eyes.
He understood. Everything was clear now.
No wonder he always felt uneasy in front of Luo Hou. No wonder Luo Hou looked at him with such an unfathomable gaze. It turned out that he already knew his true identity.
"How could this be?" Gu Beichen muttered in a daze.
"This is not your fault. I underestimated Luo Hou. When I sent you to the Demon World, I thought I could hide it from everyone. But I neglected one thing."
"This Luo Hou can open up a small world. The entire Demon World is under his control. My cultivation was only Daluo Jinxian back then. With Luo Hou's cultivation, he must have sensed something. Now that I think about it, I miscalculated and exposed your identity."
"But this Luo Hou didn't kill you. Instead, he put in a lot of effort to nurture you. This is equivalent to establishing a small karma between us through you." Ye Xuan said tirelessly.
"But … but … but since he knows I'm Sir's man … why did he send me to meet you … this … wouldn't this expose his deal with Nüwa?" Gu Beichen asked in surprise.
"That's why I said I underestimated Luo Hou. This person's shrewdness is only above mine, not below mine." Ye Xuan whispered in a hoarse voice as his eyes flickered with a strange light. It was unknown what he was thinking.
