Ji Qingxuan didn't have time to wipe off the ink that Gu Changge had smeared on her face. She immediately went to brew some tea.
She had asked Gu Changge if she needed to prepare anything. After all, they were here to invite him for tea.
If she didn't prepare any tea, wouldn't she be looking down on him?
However, Gu Changge only waved his hand and said that there was no need. Tea wasn't important.
Ji Qingxuan didn't bother about it. She could guess that the Violet Palace's Saintess wouldn't be able to walk out of this palace today.
Even if she could walk out, she would have to pay a terrifying price.
"Ziyan greets Young Master Changge."
Liu Ziyan's expression was unsightly when she first entered the palace, but she quickly regained her composure and greeted Gu Changge.
She had already expected Gu Changge to make things difficult for her when she came.
However, she never expected that he would be like this. He didn't even prepare the tea.
Liu Ziyan was infuriated by Lin Yun's attitude.
However, she endured it and responded with a polite smile.
She didn't even bother to prepare a banquet for the Feast at Hongmen. Gu Changge was really strong and arrogant, just like the rumors in the past.
Liu Ziyan calmed herself down. If there was a conflict, she definitely wouldn't be a match for Gu Changge.
Gu Changge's injury was only for him.
For the other sky-prides, even if Gu Changge was in such a state, he was still a terrifying demonic mountain.
"Greetings, Young Master Changge!"
The numerous Violet Palace Disciples behind Liu Ziyan were also incomparably nervous and uneasy as they bowed to Gu Changge.
Although the Gu Changge in front of him looked harmless and even had an extraordinary demeanor, she didn't look like a mortal.
However, a person's reputation was like a tree's shadow.
Only when they were facing him would they be able to feel the terrifying pressure and palpitations of fear.
"Take the rest of the disciples to the other palaces and treat them well. I have some matters to discuss with the Saintess Zi Yan.
"But … I didn't expect Saintess Ziyan to come so quickly. Qingge only knows how to slack off. I told her to prepare the banquet earlier, but she didn't go … I'll teach her a lesson when I have time."
"I hope Saintess Ziyan won't take offense if she doesn't receive you well."
Gu Changge, on the other hand, smiled amiably and said to Wang Chao at the entrance of the hall. He then got up and walked down.
When Ji Qingxuan heard this, she wanted to roll her eyes. What do you mean she only knows how to slack off? She's so diligent!
Gu Changge's way of throwing the blame to others was something that she had truly experienced.
"Young Master Changge, you must be joking. How many girls would be honored to see Young Master Changge's true appearance?"
"It is Ziyan's fortune to be able to drink tea with Young Master Changge. This is something that countless girls are envious of."
Hearing this, Liu Ziyan's heart skipped a beat.
However, he still forced himself to remain calm and answered with a smile. Not a single drop of water leaked.
She didn't believe that Gu Changge would be so bold as to casually attack her.
Even if he had enmity with the Purple Sun Sovereign, he wouldn't take it out on her.
If something happened to her here, then Gu Changge wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.
After all, many cultivators had seen her come to Gu Changge's palace.
"Saintess …"
The Purple Palace disciples looked at Liu Ziyan worriedly.
If they were taken away and something happened, they wouldn't be able to escape.
They wouldn't be able to help in time.
"Could it be that you don't even trust Young Master Changge's character?" Liu Ziyan calmly asked.
She was implying that if something happened to her.
Gu Changge wouldn't be able to escape responsibility, so they didn't have to worry.
As for his character, from the rumors, Gu Changge's character wasn't very good.
Hearing this, the Purple Palace disciples couldn't help but relax and allow Wang Chao to take them away.
Although Gu Changge said he was going to entertain them, no one here was a fool. They all understood that he was actually going to put them under house arrest.
Currently, the entire Black Tortoise Ancient Country was under Gu Changge's control. Although he had chosen the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country as a training ground, the Purple Sun Sovereign had disappeared.
Six Crown King kept a low profile and didn't like to fight for power.
As a result, no one in the Black Tortoise Ancient Country dared to disobey Gu Changge, even if they were Purple Palace disciples.
Now, Gu Changge was going to put them under house arrest.
Even if the elders of the True Immortal Academy knew, they wouldn't dare to say anything. Instead, they would turn a blind eye.
"It seems that Saintess Zi Yang has a deep misunderstanding of me. You're actually suspicious of my good intentions …"
Gu Changge shook his head and helplessly smiled. Then, he pointed at the seat in front of him, indicating for Liu Ziyan to sit.
Liu Ziyan nodded and sat down. Naturally, she didn't believe Gu Changge's words.
She wasn't a three-year-old child. She had her own set of standards for right and wrong, not to mention judging a person's good intentions.
Suddenly, she looked at the chessboard not far away and asked curiously, "Does Young Lord Changge like to play chess?"
She had dabbled in the art of chess. Although she wasn't a master, she had a good eye.
Black and white were distinct, crisscrossing each other. From this simple chessboard, one could see the mysteries of the universe.
She could even see the cultivation of the person who placed the chess pieces.
In a daze, she saw the chessboard come to life. Black and white suddenly soared into the sky like a Kun Peng breaking out of the water. A strong wind blew, turning into Yin and Yang, soaring for ninety thousand miles.
Yin and Yang combined to form chaos. When chaos was created, heaven and earth were separated.
Every chess piece on the chessboard became blurry, as if they had turned into living beings. They turned into the various orthodoxies and forces, the ancient supreme beings, the supreme rulers …
"Using all living beings as chess pieces …"
Liu Ziyan's voice trembled slightly in her heart.
At this moment, she couldn't find any other words to describe Gu Changge's emotions other than stormy waves.
Unfathomable.
The tip of the iceberg.
Everything that he had shown was like the tip of the iceberg. How much more was hidden under the surface?
Probably no one except Gu Changge knew.
This made Liu Ziyan unable to calm down for a long time. She didn't expect to see such a scene today.
Gu Changge looked at her expression and vaguely guessed what she saw.
However, he didn't mind and only smiled. "I don't like it. I'm just bored and want to pass the time."
"After all, I'm seriously injured right now. I can only stay in the palace and can't go anywhere."
Liu Ziyan looked at her deeply, then sighed and said, "I don't know why Young Master Changge invited me here. What is the reason?"
She had already made up her mind that she couldn't offend Gu Changge.
This was not a matter of intuition, but the scene on the chessboard made her feel a bone-piercing fear.
It was as if she had touched upon some unspeakable and terrifying secret.
How deep was he hiding to be so bold as to use all living beings in the world as chess pieces?
Even those who had achieved the Dao wouldn't dare to be like Gu Changge. They were far from being as bold as him.
"I really only invited Saintess Ziyan to drink tea. Why can't you believe me?"
Gu Changge smiled helplessly. His eyes were calm and indifferent, giving people a feeling of peace.
"Young Master, the tea is ready …"
At this moment, Ji Qingxuan also brought the tea over. It was steaming hot from the eight-million-year-old Tree Heart Spring Water. It was extremely fragrant and rich.
The tea leaves were like the Ancient Tea of Enlightenment. They had various kinds of divinity and Daoist rhythms, but they were not the same. There was a big difference.
Some were like ancient bells. With a gentle vibration, the sound of a bell would resound. Some were like cauldrons, divine swords, ancient seals …
Five-colored divine lights lingered on the tea, as if a divine weapon scripture had opened in the void.
Axes, axes, hooks, tridents, blades, swords, whips … all kinds of divine weapons appeared as if they were about to materialize. Clanging sounds rang out as treasure lights surged.
"This tea is really strange."
Liu Ziyan was a bit stunned. As the Saintess of the Purple Mansion, she had seen many things.
However, this was the first time she had seen such tea. Not to mention the preciousness of the tea, she had never seen these precious tea leaves before.
Today, she had truly gained a lot of knowledge.
For a moment, she didn't know what Gu Changge's goal was. Did he really invite her to drink tea?
However, the servants and followers that Gu Changge sent out before were obviously very arrogant.
After comparing the two, Liu Ziyan felt that it was very likely that the servants were used to being arrogant and despotic.
After all, with the title of Gu Changge's follower, who would dare to provoke them?
"This is the nameless ancient tea that I planted and cultivated myself. With the branches of the Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment, I grafted the branches of other ancient tea leaves onto it. In the end, I created this strange tea …"
Gu Changge smiled gently and spoke elegantly. Then, he took the initiative to introduce the tea to Liu Ziyan.
Of course, these words were definitely nonsense. He was quite interested in tea.
However, planting and cultivating ancient tea was too troublesome. Gu Changge preferred the process of directly picking the final fruit.
This nameless ancient tea was something that he had exchanged for in the System Store.
As for the purpose, it was just to serve as a catalyst.
"I see. I didn't expect Young Master Changge to have such leisure time …"
"However, to be able to think of such a method to cultivate ancient tea leaves, I really admire you."
Liu Ziyan's eyes lit up. These words came from the bottom of her heart and were very sincere. They were not flattering.
She was not very interested in cultivation. Compared to her other hobbies, such as zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea art, dancing, etc., she studied them more thoroughly.
She had some understanding of many ancient teas in this world, so she could judge whether Gu Changge's words were true or not.
She really did not expect Gu Changge to have such a deep understanding of the way of tea.
"It seems that Saintess Zi Yan also understands tea."
"Please!"
Gu Changge smiled faintly and signaled Ji Qingxuan to fill his cup. At this time, he also spoke of his intentions.
"Actually, I invited Saintess Zi Yan here for another reason."
At this time, even if Gu Changge did not say it, Liu Ziyan actually knew what he was talking about.
At this moment, she bitterly smiled and said, "I know that Young Master Changge is looking for traces of Purple Sun Heaven Monarch, but even I can't contact him.
"Half a month ago, I notified him of something, but until now, I have not received any reply. If Purple Sun Heaven Monarch is really related to the inheritor of demonic arts, I will definitely not show mercy."
"Oh? Saintess Zi Yan is talking about this matter? "
"However, you seem to have misunderstood."
However, in the next moment, Gu Changge's words made Liu Ziyan's expression freeze. She was somewhat shocked.
Did Gu Changge not want to ask her for clues and traces of Purple Sun Heaven Monarch? Misunderstood?
