Qingxi had a gentle personality and would rarely be rude to anyone. To be exact, she had never been rude to anyone before.
She could tolerate many people and many things.
However, she couldn't tolerate a swindler who pretended to be the King's successor.
She knew very well that today's Five Colored Flower Festival was hosted by Elder Kumu. Elder Kumu had always been filled with guilt towards the King because of what happened at Mount Daqing. He still couldn't let it go. Fifty years ago, it was because of this that he easily believed Gu Tiansheng. She didn't want him to be fooled again.
Therefore, she had no choice but to ask him to leave.
As for Gu Qingfeng.
There was nothing but helplessness.
Ever since he found out about Gu Tiansheng, he knew that once his identity was recognized, he would be treated as a swindler.
As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Presumably, Five Colored Mountain was also scared of being fooled.
He looked at Qingxi and then at Liu Qingyan. He shook his head and said, "Sister, I sympathize and can understand that your Five Colored Mountain was fooled. But that's all. I'm not a swindler. Of course, you may not believe me, but it doesn't matter to me whether you believe me or not."
After a pause, he poured himself a cup of wine and continued, "As for me, I only came here to see Elder Kumu. I've already waited for so many days, so I don't mind waiting a little longer. If I don't see him today, I won't leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples of Five Colored Mountain all rushed over. It seemed that if Gu Qingfeng didn't leave, they wouldn't let him go.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You want to use force to chase me away or what?"
"We won't use force against you. We just hope that you can leave on your own accord."
"What if I don't leave?"
"Then don't blame us for being impolite."
The one who said this was Liu Qingyan. For Elder Kumu, she didn't mind kicking this swindler out.
At this time, a loud shout came.
"Don't be rude!"
A middle-aged man appeared. Many people present knew him. He was the leader of the Eighteen Swords of the Five Color Mountain, the Xuan Xin Holy Man. He was also the person in charge of the Five Color Mountain. He even had hopes of becoming the leader of the Five Color Mountain in the future.
"Senior Martial Brother, he's that Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng. Moreover, he said he wanted to pay a visit to Martial Uncle Kumu."
Before Liu Qingyan could finish her sentence, Xuan Xin Holy Man interrupted her and replied, "I know."
"Since you already know, why are you still doing it?"
The Xuan Xin Holy Man did not respond to her. Instead, he looked deeply at Gu Qingfeng and said, "Childe Chiyan, we meet again."
Gu Qingfeng nodded in response.
However, when Xuan Xin's words reached the ears of Liu Qingyan and the others, it sounded a bit strange. What did she mean by 'meet again'? Could it be that Xuan Xin had seen this swindler before? And he even knew his identity? Since that was the case, why was he still so courteous to him?
Just as they were puzzled, a group of 23 people walked into the garden.
They were all from the Five Colored Mountain, and they were all from the Five Colored Mountain's Eighteen Swords.
Walking at the front was an old man.
The old man's hair was grey and he wore a green robe. He looked a bit old and his face was full of vicissitudes. Although he was a cultivator, he also had a spiritual aura. However, it was very weak. Anyone could feel the weak aura of his Primordial Spirit.
Seeing the old man, Liu Qingyan, Qingxi and the others were shocked. This was because the old man was none other than one of the Nine Solitary Elders of the Five Color Mountain, the Ku Mu Holy Man. The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Without hesitation, they immediately went to greet him.
The Ku Mu Holy Man was an extremely prestigious senior expert in the Northwest. He was also one of the top Great Masters of Music back in the day.
People like Ding Rui and Wei Chaoqun might have come for Qingxi. However, most of the old fellows who had cultivated for thousands of years came for the old man. They all received the news that this was the last Flower Banquet hosted by the old man. They also knew that after the Flower Banquet, the old man would completely live in seclusion. This was not important. What was important was that the old man's injuries could not last much longer. It was unknown whether he could survive this year. Therefore, this time, they all wanted to send the old man off.
At this moment, seeing the old man come, everyone went forward to greet him.
The Ku Mu Holy Man also nodded and smiled in response.
At this moment.
Gu Qingfeng did not drink anymore. He, who had been sitting all this time, also stood up from his chair.
He, who was usually leisurely, was no longer leisurely. He became serious.
He, who was usually casual, was no longer casual. He became cautious.
He stood and also looked.
His expression was somewhat complicated. There was self-blame, regret, and guilt. However, after the heartache, there was also a trace of happiness and a trace of rejoicing.
What made him blame himself was that the old man had been seriously injured in order to help him escape from Mount Daqing.
What made him regret was that since then, he had been unable to visit the old man for various reasons.
What made him feel guilty was that the old man's injuries were very serious. Although his Primordial Spirit was still there, it was already dried up. It was like burning ashes that would disappear with the wind.
What made him happy was that although the old man's Primordial Spirit was like a lamp that had run out of oil, it did not mean that he did not have a way. It was not difficult for him to help the old man's Primordial Spirit recover.
Therefore, he was very glad. He was glad that he had not been sentenced to death by the various Heavenly Dao. He was also glad that he had woken up. He was even more glad that he could see the old man at this time. If it had been a few years later, even if he had the ability to reverse the situation, he would be powerless.
Fortunately.
Everything was still in time.
Closing his eyes, Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath. He walked forward and said respectfully, "Junior Gu Qingfeng greets Elder Ku Mu."
Elder Ku Mu did not seem surprised. He only stared at Gu Qingfeng deeply.
Beside him, Xuan Xin Holy Man said in a low voice, "Uncle, he is the Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng that I mentioned to you."
Inside the scene, both Liu Qingyan and Qingxi felt that it was unbelievable. They were both worried that Elder Ku Mu would believe the swindler again, so they kept it a secret. How could Xuan Xin have already met the swindler? Not only did he not hide it, but he even took the initiative to mention it to the old man. What was he thinking? Could it be that he wanted to trick the old man again?
"You are the self-proclaimed King's successor, Gu Qingfeng?"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the old man. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes."
After he said that, everyone around pointed at Gu Qingfeng and said that he was a swindler. They told the old man not to believe him and not to repeat his mistakes. Liu Qingyan, Qingxi and even the people from Five Colored Mountain also tried their best to persuade him.
During this time, the old man did not speak. He just looked at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng didn't explain, nor did he prove anything.
After a while.
The old man opened his mouth and said, "I heard that you wanted to visit me?"
"Yes, I was passing by here, so I wanted to visit you."
"Is there anything else?"
"To repay a debt of gratitude."
"What debt of gratitude?"
"Back then, you were injured to save my master. My master did not have the time to visit you. This is his life's regret. Because of this, he has always felt guilty. This time, I came to visit you on behalf of my master."
Qingxi's junior, Qinglian, stood out and shouted, "Hey, since you are here to visit, then you should have seen enough? Isn't it time to leave? "
"The old man is injured. After I heal him, I will leave."
