Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Senior Xuan Ze still had some things to do, so he had to leave for the time being.
These days, Gu Qingfeng and Tang Laoguai did almost nothing. Other than eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, they spent all their time drinking.
Gu Qingfeng was a wine lover, and Tang Laoguai was known to be a drinker. The two of them were birds of a feather, so naturally, they had endless topics to talk about. The only thing that annoyed him was that Tang Laoguai kept clamoring for him to come forward and settle the Yanluo royalty problem. Moreover, he kept nagging and nagging. In the end, Gu Qingfeng got tired of listening to him, so he simply agreed.
When Gu Qingfeng agreed, Tang Laoguai's attitude toward Gu Qingfeng did a 180-degree turn. For this reason, he even specially brought over his precious wine and served them good wine and dishes every day.
Gu Qingfeng was also happy to be free and at ease. As for the Yanluo royalty problem, even if Tang Laoguai did not mention it, he would not stand by and do nothing.
On this day.
The two of them were drinking and chatting in the green bamboo forest.
"What's wrong? Something doesn't seem right today. "
Gu Qingfeng looked at Tang Laoguai and found that this old guy seemed to have become a little serious today.
"Little Guy Gu, to be honest, this old man is really happy that you're willing to help. It's not in vain that HuanYue liked you so much back then."
"I say, Tang Laoguai, why are you saying this all of a sudden? What's going on?"
"This old man is not joking with you."
Today, Tang Laoguai was not as jovial and frivolous as usual. When he became serious, he looked somewhat like a master. He sat upright and said very seriously, "Although this old man has been clamoring for you to come forward and help, it's just clamoring. I don't really want you to help. You brat, you finally got your life back from the hands of God. This old man doesn't want you to die again, and this old man really doesn't want you to go back to your old ways."
"You don't want me to go back to my old ways? What? Can I only follow your old ways?"
"This old man is very serious now. Can you be a little more serious, brat?"
Indeed.
Tang Laoguai was very serious at this moment, so serious that he couldn't be more serious.
The truth was just as he said. He didn't really want Gu Qingfeng to come forward and help. The reason why he kept clamoring was because he wanted to know if Gu Qingfeng was willing to help. As long as he knew that Gu Qingfeng was willing to help, then he would have one of his wishes fulfilled. At least, it proved that Gu Qingfeng didn't forget HuanYue. This was enough for Tang Laoguai.
"Although the ancient Sengoku is as strong as the heavens and the earth, our Yanluo royalty is not to be trifled with. This time, Sengoku's real purpose is to test our Yanluo royalty and force us to show our trump card. Since they want to see, this old man is prepared to show them our trump card."
Yanluo royalty had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and had produced so many extraordinary emperors. In addition, the founder of Yanluo royalty was no ordinary person. It would be a lie to say that they didn't have any trump cards. Although showing them wouldn't be enough to shake Sengoku, at least it would be enough to make Sengoku not dare to act rashly.
Gu Qingfeng also knew that in this world, as long as it was passed down for a long time, whether it was a country, a big sect, or a big family, they were all inextricably linked to the Immortal sects in the Empyrean. This was the fundamental reason why Sengoku didn't dare to act against the big sects in this world, whether in ancient times or modern times. The Empyrean wasn't a big place, but it wasn't small either. Many Immortals saw each other frequently and would show some respect to each other. Sengoku was no exception.
"So, you don't need my help?"
"Kid, your word is enough. If you go down the same old path because of helping Yanluo royalty, this old man can't bear the responsibility, and …"
Tang Laoguai continued, "This old man also wants to advise you not to cause any more trouble. How good would it be to live a peaceful and carefree life? As for that nuisance Zhou Taihe thing, this old man will settle it for you."
"No need."
"What, are you looking down on this old man?"
"How would I dare? How would I dare? It's just that this is my own matter, I'll handle it myself."
"Little Guy Gu, the modern Sengoku isn't like the ancient times. In the modern era, other than Sengoku, there's also the Immortal Cloud known as the Little Nine Heavens. That's where the immortals of the Nine Heavens live. Do you know why the Nine Heavens created another Immortal Cloud outside Sengoku?"
"Why?"
"It's to prevent another person like you from appearing in this world."
Gu Qingfeng smiled and didn't say anything.
He had heard of the Cloud of Immortals, but he had only heard of it and did not know much about it. He was also not interested in it. Not to mention the Cloud of Immortals, even if the Nine Heavens descended into this world, he would be too lazy to even look at it.
"In the ancient times, our world was so lacking in spiritual qi, but there was still a person like you who defied the heavens. In the modern era, all things are recovering. Who knows how many old guys have awakened? There's also the Reincarnation Storm. No one knows how many powerful people have reincarnated in this world. There's also the Mandate of Heaven, and no one knows whether a terrifying existence will appear in this Mandate of Heaven."
"I'm just saying all this to tell you that the power of Sengoku in the modern era is absolutely beyond imagination. The Immortal Cloud above Sengoku exists to suppress the old guys from recovering all things, and also to suppress the reincarnation of the Reincarnation Storm. More importantly, it's to suppress the creation of the Mandate of Heaven. Even if you think with your toes, you can imagine how terrifying the people in the Immortal Cloud are."
"So, kid, don't mess around anymore. I really can't bear to see you walk down the same old path. If HuanYue was still here, she definitely wouldn't want you to walk down the same old path."
Gu Qingfeng could see and hear that Tang Laoguai was really worried about him. He raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He smiled faintly and said, "Laoguai, believe me. If it's possible, I also want to live a peaceful life. I want to drink wine and listen to songs every day. This is the life I dream of. Do you think I don't want to live it? Or do you think I'm so bored that I'm looking for trouble? "
"Then why?"
"There are a lot of things that you don't understand. There are too many involved and it's too complicated. I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences. Let me put it this way. I'm not the one looking for trouble now. It's the other way around. I can't avoid this trouble."
"Sengoku knows that you're still alive, kid? And they're back? "
"I'm not sure if Sengoku knows or not. I'm too lazy to find out, and I don't care at all. Just now, I said that someone is looking for trouble with me. It's not Sengoku, nor the Immortal Cloud, but the Nine Heavens Immortal Path. Not only the Immortal Path, but also the Devil Path, the Heavenly Path, and the Buddhist Path. I'm afraid that the 3,000 Great Paths are secretly watching me.
