After Gu Changge had left with Hei Yanyu, Xiao Ruoyin took Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, Wang Ning and the others to an open area.
Although there were guards on patrol, they didn't care about them at all. They treated them as invisible people, as if they hadn't seen them at all. Apparently, they had received instructions from Gu Changge.
"Ruoyin, what happened? Why did that white-clothed man let us go all of a sudden? "
Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask when they had arrived. He sounded like he was questioning and blaming her.
Niu Tian and the others were also puzzled. They were waiting for Xiao Ruoyin to give them an explanation.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. Young Master Gu didn't do anything to me after he took me away. He only asked about our background. I told him the truth, so he didn't make things difficult for us. In fact, it's all a misunderstanding. Young Master Gu is a nice guy. He didn't mean us any harm. "
Xiao Ruoyin took a deep breath and explained. She told them what had happened.
Hearing her words, Niu Tian and the others breathed a sigh of relief and did not suspect anything.
It was especially so for the women, including Wang Ning. After all, when they had seen Gu Changge for the first time, they had thought Gu Changge couldn't be a bad guy.
It wasn't that a bad guy couldn't be so good-looking, but Gu Changge's temperament made it hard for them to hate him. He was more like an immortal who had stayed away from the world of mortals and watched the ages from the top of the world.
However, Jiang Chen frowned. Apparently, he wasn't satisfied with her answer.
He still remembered the pain and fear he had felt when his internal organs had almost been crushed. Now Xiao Ruoyin said it was all a misunderstanding. That so-called Young Master Gu didn't mean them any harm. He was a good guy?
How could he accept that?
"Jiang Chen, listen to me. Just let it go. You're fine now. Otherwise, if you really offend Young Master Gu, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
Upon witnessing Jiang Chen's expression, Xiao Ruoyin realized what was on his mind. She sighed and spoke.
How could she expect Gu Changge to apologize to a nobody like Jiang Chen at such a time?
"Ruoyin, I …" Jiang Chen sighed helplessly.
He was not someone who did not know what was good for him, nor was he a fool.
Offending Gu Changge at this time would only result in death. There was almost no other possibility.
Xiao Ruoyin said this for his own good. However, he really couldn't bear to say such words.
"Oh right, what happened after that, Ruoyin? Why did you change your dress too?"
Jiang Chen asked. He suddenly got nervous. He was worried he would hear something bad from Xiao Ruoyin.
If what Xiao Ruoyin said was true, then why did she change her clothes and look much better than before? Why was she talking and laughing with Gu Changge?
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyin thought of the embarrassing situation at that time. Her face was a little red, but she quickly recovered.
She explained, "Young Master Gu saw my clothes were a bit tattered after being imprisoned for a long time, so he asked someone to take me to wash them. It's not as complicated as you think …"
Jiang Chen felt uncomfortable when he saw her expression. However, since Xiao Ruoyin had explained it to him, if he still didn't believe her, the relationship between them would only drift further apart. So, he didn't say anything more.
Niu Tian and the others didn't suspect anything either.
"I told you to trust Goddess Xiao …" Niu Tian said to Jiang Chen in a low voice. He also felt relieved for him.
"Ruoyin, what are you going to do next? None of us can understand the language of this world … "
Staring at Xiao Ruoyin, Jiang Chen asked nervously. His palms were sweaty.
What he meant was that he wanted Xiao Ruoyin to leave with them.
Hearing this, everyone looked over as well. Their faces were filled with anticipation, hoping that Xiao Ruoyin could take care of them.
After all, they were all classmates. They didn't even understand the language of this strange world. It would be difficult for them to survive after leaving this place.
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyin frowned slightly. Clearly, she was a little conflicted and didn't know what to say.
However, she had to tell Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others about this.
She chose her words carefully and spoke slowly.
"I'm going to stay with Young Master Gu. I don't think I can leave with you …"
"What?"
Jiang Chen turned pale with fright before she had finished speaking. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
The others opened their eyes wide, too. They hadn't expected Xiao Ruoyin to stay.
"Ruoyin, did that Young Master Gu force you to stay?"
"He must be up to something."
Jiang Chen looked pale, but he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. In his opinion, why would Xiao Ruoyin choose to stay for no reason?
It was only the first time she had met Young Master Gu!
Therefore, there was only one possibility.
"No. I wanted to stay. Young Master Gu is really nice. He's my benefactor. What could he want from me? You haven't seen Young Master Gu's maids. They're all as pretty as fairies. How could she have any ulterior motives towards me ~? "
"Don't talk about Young Master Gu like that."
Xiao Ruoyin looked unhappy, but since she knew Jiang Chen was worried about her, she softened her tone a lot.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He opened his mouth, but then chose to shut up with a bitter smile.
Niu Tian and the others at the side also sighed and tactfully shut their mouths.
"What did Young Master Gu do to you? You're speaking for him even though you've only met him for the first time." Jiang Chen felt his mouth was dry. His voice was a little hoarse.
His heart ached, as if it was being torn apart!
"You don't understand. I'm only grateful to Young Master Gu. I don't want anything else."
Xiao Ruoyin's voice calmed down. She looked like an aloof goddess again, aloof and distant.
"Can you tell me why?" asked Jiang Chen.
"I … because I'm going to embark on the path of practice."
Xiao Ruoyin hesitated, but she still decided to tell him.
"The path of practice …"
Everyone was shocked. Then they came to themselves and envied her.
Before coming to this world, they hadn't believed there were immortals in this world at all.
But apparently, what they were witnessing had changed their worldview. Immortals did exist in this world. They could fly on clouds, pick stars, and grab moons. They were omnipotent.
At this thought, they were even more envious of Xiao Ruoyin.
"I see. You and I won't be in the same world soon …"
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. He had figured everything out. It wouldn't take long for Xiao Ruoyin to become a superior immortal like the white-clothed man. She would treat them like ants, not in the same world anymore.
But soon, he remembered that mysterious bronze flying boat of his. Could he also cultivate with it?
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel hopeful.
"Goddess Xiao, if you can practice, can we practice, too? We want to embark on the path of practice, too. "
Niu Tian and the others looked towards Xiao Ruoyin and asked hopefully.
"The requirements for practice are very strict. Thanks to Young Master Gu's help, I wouldn't have been able to embark on the path of practice without him …"
Xiao Ruoyin said. She didn't have the heart to tell them about the requirements for practice.
Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, Wang Ning, and the others reacted the same way as she did. They stood there, petrified. They were desperate.
"Talent, practice methods, practice resources …" Jiang Chen murmured to himself.
Jiang Chen murmured. He felt like a fire was burning in his heart.
"Miss Xiao, Young Master has prepared a banquet. He invites you and your companions to come with him."
At this moment, a strange creature with a terrifying appearance that was densely covered in green scales suddenly appeared and spoke to Xiao Ruoyin.
Everyone was given a scare. They felt like they were suffocating. The energy of this giant creature was too dreadful.
"Got it. I'll be right there."
Xiao Ruoyin pulled herself together and answered with a smile.
The creature grinned. "Miss Xiao, I'll be looking forward to your arrival."
Then he disappeared. Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others broke out in a cold sweat. They didn't know whether he had done it intentionally or not.
"Ruoyin, what did he say?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"He said Young Master Gu has prepared a banquet for us. He asked me to take you there," Xiao Ruoyin explained.
"Young Master Gu has prepared a banquet for us. That's great. We're so lucky to have Goddess Xiao!"
"This Young Master Gu isn't a bad guy! Looks like he's trying to make up for the misunderstanding. "
Everyone was excited. They hadn't had a banquet in this world yet. It was a good opportunity to broaden their horizons.
However, Jiang Chen remained silent.
In next to no time, Xiao Ruoyin brought them to the location of the banquet, and the various scenes they saw along the way caused everyone to be extremely shocked.
Especially when they saw those magnificent palaces. They were awed by them from the bottom of their hearts.
What kind of power was this to be able to build such a magnificent building?
"Young Master Gu said we were on an ancient warship, not on the ground …" Xiao Ruoyin said with admiration.
Along the way, many people revealed flattering expressions as they spoke to Xiao Ruoyin one after another.
"Goddess Xiao, when we see Young Master Gu, could you please say something nice for us …"
"That's right. Since we're classmates, please help us. I beg of you."
"Well …"
Xiao Ruoyin frowned. She hesitated. She was worried Gu Changge wouldn't like her too much.
"I'll try my best."
However, she couldn't say no to these requests.
Soon, they arrived at the palace.
All kinds of spiritual fruits and food were on the table. Even the wine was giving off a tempting aroma. They couldn't wait to eat.
All kinds of sparkling and translucent fruits emitted a dense brilliance, incomparably mysterious.
"You're here?"
Gu Changge said with a smile, sitting at the head of the table.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu. You even arranged these." Xiao Ruoyin was a little embarrassed.
"That's all right. I'm sorry," Gu Changge said with a smile.
"Your companions are just mortals. They haven't practiced yet. If they eat wine with spirits, they might explode and die."
"That's why I've prepared another table for them …"
Then he pointed at the table next to him. It wasn't far from the banquet table, but the food there was much simpler. It was all food from the Mortal Realm.
"Okay. Thank you, Young Master Gu."
Xiao Ruoyin didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She explained it to Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others.
On the contrary, she was touched by Gu Changge's thoughtfulness. He had even taken such a small thing into consideration.
Niu Tian and the others felt it was a pity that they couldn't eat the fruits with spirits, but they knew it was for their own good. They had a good impression of Gu Changge.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xiao Ruoyin had said.
Gu Changge didn't mean them any harm.
Soon, the banquet started.
Everyone took their seats.
Besides Hei Yanyu, Ji Qingxuan also showed up beside Gu Changge. One of them was picking food for him, while the other was pouring wine for him.
This scene caused Niu Tian and the other men to be extremely envious. It was simply impossible for them to see such a devastatingly beautiful woman in the past.
Even with Goddess Xiao's looks, in front of him, it was hard to tell who was better.
However, such a beautiful woman could only be a maid in front of the white-clothed man.
This made them extremely envious and jealous. No wonder Xiao Ruoyin said that Young Master Gu would not have any ulterior motives towards her.
That was the reason.
"Ah Chen, it's better to keep some things in mind. If you show it …"
Glancing at Jiang Chen, who had been drinking silently, Niu Tian sighed. He knew what was on Jiang Chen's mind.
Jiang Chen looked up, gnashing his teeth.
At the banquet, Xiao Ruoyin was sitting beside Gu Changge. She was blushing and smiling. It seemed they were talking about something.
Gu Changge, on the other hand, had a faint smile on her face, as if she didn't care at all. Her eyes never fell on them from beginning to end.
Jiang Chen didn't know what Xiao Ruoyin was talking to Gu Changge. He only knew she rarely smiled like this.
He felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.
However, at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from his body. It felt like something was going to burst out. It was surging and changing!
A bronze flying boat!
In a trance, Jiang Chen saw a bronze flying boat in front of him. It looked extremely old. It was rusty. It was traveling in a long river. The universe around it was collapsing. Spacetime fragments were flying.
He even saw many scenes of creation.
Mysterious creation. Heaven and earth are mysterious. The beginning is easy to change. The great doctrine is fair!
It was extremely miraculous!
A huge amount of information and inheritances suddenly flooded into his head!
Jiang Chen was petrified. He almost stood up, but he managed to control himself with his strong willpower. However, he was shivering. People would think he was not feeling well.
Glancing at Jiang Chen, Niu Tian and others had no idea what was going on.
They thought he had just witnessed his goddess talking and laughing with another man. He couldn't accept it, so he was trying his best to restrain himself.
"Who do you think you are? Why are you in my head? "
However, Jiang Chen calmed down soon. He didn't notice that Gu Changge was looking at him.
At this moment, he was communicating with the voice in his head.
A miniature bronze flying boat, emitting a weak light, showed up in his head.
"I'm the weapon spirit. You're the weapon body."
"We're both Creation Immortal Boats."
A very young and tender voice sounded.
"Creation Immortal Boat? What's that? "
Jiang Chen was struck dumb. He couldn't help but ask. He was communicating with the voice in his head, so he didn't have to worry about being found out.
"Creation Immortal Boat. It's the first immortal item since the beginning of the world. It can break the reincarnation cycle, reverse time, peer into the natural law, peer into the ancient times, find out fate … It's omnipotent."
This slightly tender voice was filled with pride as it spoke.
"Can you help me become stronger?"
Jiang Chen was kind of excited. He thought it was pretty awesome. It was bragging. It was omnipotent.
But did that mean it could help him become stronger so that he could survive in this world and get everything he wanted?
"Of course. You and I are one."
The voice came again. It was still arrogant.
However, it seemed it had just woken up. Soon, it felt something was wrong.
"You don't look right … Why are you so weak? Even your body is weak … But it doesn't matter. I'll make you a Sacred Body of Creation sooner or later. You'll be invincible in the world."
The voice said confidently.
Jiang Chen also got excited upon hearing this. He was overwhelmed with emotions. Sacred Body of Good Fortune? It sounded amazing!
And Jiang Chen found he suddenly understood what the creatures around him were talking about.
He was overjoyed by this discovery. But then he restrained himself, afraid others would find out something was wrong with him.
I can listen to what Ruoyin and that Young Master Gu are talking about …
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and calmed down. He concentrated on what he was hearing.
At the head of the table, Gu Changge, who had been smiling casually, seemed to have noticed something. Interest flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly asked Xiao Ruoyin, who was next to him, "What's the relationship between you and that youngster? I think he's been paying attention to you. "
Xiao Ruoyin was surprised. She followed Gu Changge's gaze and saw Jiang Chen, who was drinking with his head down.
"His name is Jiang Chen. He used to be one of my pursuers," she answered.
Somehow, she didn't want Gu Changge to misunderstand her, so she told him directly.
Of course, Xiao Ruoyin wasn't lying. In everyone's eyes, she and Jiang Chen were a perfect match, but that was all.
She knew Jiang Chen had a good impression of her, but she only wanted to look for the relics and find out the truth.
As far as she was concerned, Jiang Chen was only a suitor she had a good relationship with or a friend.
"Oh, I see."
Gu Changge smiled. "No wonder he's been paying attention to you."
Jiang Chen, who had gathered all of his attention, certainly heard her. He couldn't help but turn pale. Then he smiled bitterly.
He couldn't refute it. He was only a pursuer indeed.
"That woman … I think she's my master! No way … "
While Jiang Chen was filled with bitterness, the childish voice rang out in his mind again.
But this time, it was full of shock, uneasiness, trembling, and fear.
"Master, the man with her is very dangerous …"
