Gu Xuan stared at the middle-aged man.
"I'm risking my life to help you. How big of a risk am I taking?
If I'm not careful, Her Highness can smash my head!
And you want to leave? You're taking my kindness for granted!
I'm telling you, you're not allowed to leave! I'm going to treat your injuries, and no one can stop me! "
Gu Xuan was very impassioned.
Unfortunately, when Big Stone heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.
Because he knew Princess Vermilion Bird and Gu Xuan very well.
One of them was his master, and the other was his boss.
The key point was that his master's fist was bigger.
Therefore, whenever the two of them had a disagreement, his boss would definitely listen to his master.
After all, if his master's fist was hard, his boss would be soft.
But now, his boss was acting out of character. Not only did he not listen to his master, but he was also so determined. This meant that there must be something wrong.
As for what the problem was, was there any need to say?
After guessing everything, Big Stone looked at Gu Xuan's pretentious appearance and felt that Gu Xuan's acting was very fake.
Especially when he said in front of his master, "Her Royal Highness can smash my head off", it couldn't be any more fake.
Although the middle-aged man was timid, he wasn't brainless. Perhaps he had already seen through the flaw.
Princess Vermilion Bird was also speechless.
Did she really have to smash Gu Xuan's head to continue playing the role of bad guy?
She couldn't possibly admit defeat and let it go, right?
That didn't suit her character at all, and it would easily cause her to lose her dignity. How could she let that happen?
Crack.
Princess Vermilion Bird clenched her fists.
She might as well smash Gu Xuan's head. Anyway, it could grow again. It wouldn't be a problem!
"Damn! You've overdone it again! "
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows. He had already guessed that Princess Vermilion Bird was serious about smashing his head.
And this idea was "suggested" by him!
Indeed, trouble came from the mouth. You brought it on yourself.
He was the Sect Leader of Yingtian Sect. He was about to recruit a new member of Yingtian Sect. If his head was smashed before he could do so, what dignity would he have left?
The middle-aged man was so touched that he was about to cry.
In this world, in this dark world, there are still good people!
In order to save him, Lord Gu Xuan was willing to take the risk of having his head smashed by the Vermilion Bird Princess.
If he were to leave at a time like this, would he still be human?
A wave of heroic spirit surged out of the middle aged man's heart for no reason. He took a step forward and blocked in front of Gu Xuan.
He patted his chest and accidentally used too much force, almost knocking himself out.
"Princess … Cough cough … Your Highness, if you want to find someone to smash their head, then why don't you smash mine?
In any case, I only have half a rotten life. If I die, so be it.
If Your Highness is not in a hurry to get angry, I wonder if you can listen to me? "
The middle-aged man didn't know how much courage he had to muster to say these words, but his body was actually trembling slightly.
It was clear that he was truly afraid of death. He was afraid that the Vermilion Bird Princess would smash his head open.
The Vermilion Bird Princess narrowed her eyes. She knew that she was halfway to success and smiled with interest.
"What do you want to say? Just say it."
The middle-aged man continued to muster his courage. "What Alchemy Emperor Lotus owes me is just a small favor.
If Lord Gu Xuan heals my injuries, then I will owe him a big favor.
Therefore, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to Lord Gu Xuan and work for Lord Gu Xuan. I will prove to everyone that the time, resources, and treasures that Lord Gu Xuan spent to heal my injuries were all worth it! "
The middle-aged man spoke with a heroic spirit.
Gu Xuan already couldn't resist clapping his hands and cheering.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man actually had a last sentence.
He carefully said to the Vermilion Bird Princess, "Of course, if Your Highness wants me to pledge my loyalty to you, that is also possible."
The Vermilion Bird Princess gave him a thumbs-up.
"This princess likes to hear these words.
Since that is the case, it is decided!
Gu Xuan, after this matter is over, treat his injuries.
After his injuries are healed, I want to see how he will prove to me that he is worth it! "
Gu Xuan's chest heaved up and down. He was so angry that he actually had an impulse to vomit blood.
He never thought that this coward was not only a coward, but also a traitor and a bootlicker. This young master saved him, but he pledged his loyalty to the Vermilion Bird Princess?
He actually dared to say such words?
Gu Xuan really wanted to smash the middle-aged man's head with a punch. However, on second thought, pledging loyalty to the Vermilion Bird Princess and pledging loyalty to him didn't seem to be much different.
If he asked him to do something, how could he refuse?
Moreover, during the treatment, he would always stay in the Heaven Response Sect.
Whether his injuries were healed or not, wasn't it up to him?
Of course, how long the treatment would take was also up to him.
His injuries were so serious. Even if he didn't have to stay in the Heaven Response Sect for the rest of his life, he would at least have to heal until the calamity of the Burning Sky World was over.
Thinking of this, Gu Xuan felt relieved in his heart. His gloominess was swept away.
Gu Xuan smiled.
"Since Your Highness has said so, then I will do my best to treat his injuries."
The Vermilion Bird Princess nodded in satisfaction.
The middle-aged man respectfully bowed to the Vermilion Bird Princess. Then, he turned to Gu Xuan and cupped his hands as a greeting.
"Your Highness, Lord Gu Xuan, please don't worry. I will definitely overcome my cowardice and prove myself to the two of you.
However, I may need a little bit of time. "
The middle-aged man said respectfully.
"Please don't call me Lord Gu Xuan anymore. With your strength, you can just call me Fellow Daoist Gu Xuan.
I am the Sect Master of the Heaven Response Sect in the Burning Sky World. You can call me Sect Master. "
Gu Xuan had a humble look on his face. He wanted to make the middle-aged man have a good impression of him.
The middle-aged man was shocked.
"Your Highness is about to do me a favor. How can I call you Fellow Daoist?
I will call you 'Sect Master' in the future. "
Gu Xuan nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I will not call you Fellow Daoist. From today onwards, you will be the guest elder of the Heaven Response Sect. I will call you …"
Gu Xuan was stunned when he said this.
It seemed that he had been calling this guy a coward in his heart. He didn't even know his name.
"May I know your name, Fellow Daoist?" Gu Xuan asked.
The middle-aged man said respectfully, "My surname is Mu. The 'Mu' next to 'He' is a single word, 'Sly', 'Sly' as in 'Sophistry'!
Back then, I was quite famous in the world I came from.
The people of the pugilistic world affectionately called me 'Old Sly'.
However, I don't know which bastard spread my name. As it spread, I actually became 'Old Ghost', 'Ghost' as in 'Ghost'. How unlucky!
I suspect that it was because someone spread my name that I was unintentionally tainted by some karma.
That's why I became neither human nor ghost. "
The middle-aged man said indignantly.
The corner of Big Stone's mouth twitched. He said with a smile, "There shouldn't be such a thing. It's purely your imagination."
"Mu Sly? Old Ghost Mu? This name sounds a little familiar?
I seem to have heard it somewhere before? "
Gu Xuan held his chin and wanted to search his memory. However, he immediately reacted.
"Old Ghost Mu, Old Ghost Mu of the Seven Star World!
The person who entered the Sword Tomb cave abode, no, it should be the Sword World, obtained an Immortal Sword, and ran back to the Sword World in the end? "
Gu Xuan was shocked.
He never would have thought that the coward in front of him was the famous Old Ghost Mu in the Seven Star Realm.
However, everyone thought that he was called Old Ghost Mu back then. Now, it seemed that he was called Old Sly Mu.
"Ah, the Sect Master is from the Burning Sky Realm. You know about the Seven Star Realm?
Moreover, it seems that you know about my existence and have heard of some of my deeds.
However, there's a big misunderstanding here.
I didn't obtain any Immortal Sword. I only obtained an Emperor's Mandate with the Immortal Sword's aura. Compared to a real Immortal Sword, it's many times worse.
The reason I ended up like this is because of that Emperor's Mandate.
Sigh, forget it. In the end, it's because I was too greedy.
Let's not talk about these things.
From now on, I'm Guest Mu of the Ying Tian Sect! "
Mu Sly smiled bitterly.
The Vermilion Bird Princess emphasized, "It's not important whether you're a guest of the Ying Tian Sect or not.
Your main position is Guest Mu of the Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect. Do you understand? "
Mu Sly nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Important things had to be said three times.
The corner of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched.
Forget it, let's not be calculative!
Of course, it was useless to be calculative. The arm could not win against the leg.
"Boss, if you're done chatting, let's put some water in the hole.
Look at that lotus, it's swaying. I'm really afraid that it will break. "
Big Stone suddenly said to Gu Xuan.
