There were two seats in the hall.
Gu Changge was sitting in the first seat. He was in a long white robe. His black hair was sparkling and shining. His eyes were gentle and calm. He was holding a wine cup made of white jade. He put it close to his mouth. His posture was elegant and graceful.
There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth as he said something to Xiao Ruoyin.
Xiao Ruoyin had delicate features. She was a little flushed. She raised her cup to toast him. Her eyes were shining.
She was learning more and more about the vastness and mysteries of this world from her conversations with Gu Changge. She was fascinated.
"Your pursuer doesn't look right. Do you want to ask him what's going on?"
At this moment, Gu Changge glanced over and laid her eyes on Jiang Chen and the others. She asked with a faint smile on her face.
Xiao Ruoyin looked over again. She couldn't help but frown.
She saw Jiang Chen's shocked and incredulous expression. He was looking up at where she was.
Their eyes met. Jiang Chen was staring at her. He was still shocked.
Xiao Ruoyin somehow felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She didn't want Gu Changge to misunderstand her.
Although she only felt grateful to Gu Changge and didn't dare have any other thoughts, she still didn't want Gu Changge to think there was something going on between her and Jiang Chen.
However, at that moment, Jiang Chen was staring at her. He didn't give her any face at all. Xiao Ruoyin was displeased by this.
"Jiang Chen …"
She couldn't help but shout at Jiang Chen. She sounded angry.
At this moment, Jiang Chen shivered and came to his senses.
He turned a blind eye to Xiao Ruoyin's angry look. He hurried to lower his head and started to drink again. He looked sullen.
Niu Tian and the others could only sigh to themselves. They didn't think Xiao Ruoyin had done anything wrong.
If it weren't for Xiao Ruoyin, they would still be in the dungeon. No one knew whether they were dead or alive.
Of course, in their eyes, Jiang Chen's actions were reasonable.
"Ah Chen, you have to calm down …"
Niu Tian couldn't help but advise, "Xiao Ruoyin and we are no longer in the same world. You should let it go."
"There are plenty of fish in the sea. Look at how many goddesses and fairies there are in this world. Why bother guarding Xiao Ruoyin?"
He could tell that Mr. Gu did not have any ulterior motives towards Xiao Ruoyin.
Instead, it was because Xiao Ruoyin had ulterior motives towards her. Hence, the way he addressed her had also changed. In the past, he would also jokingly address her as Goddess Xiao.
Although Xiao Ruoyin had always been cold and aloof, she had never treated Jiang Chen like she did today. She had cut off all ties with Jiang Chen.
What did this mean? The cold and unapproachable goddess in your eyes was nothing in front of others.
"I know. Niu Tian, you don't have to persuade me."
At this moment, Jiang Chen seemed to have calmed down. He nodded, but he didn't look at the banquet in front of him anymore.
It was as if he had accepted everything calmly.
However, only Jiang Chen knew that he was clenching his fists so hard that his fingernails had sunk into his palms. They were red.
He was unwilling and angry, but more than that, he chose to understand.
He had roughly figured out what had happened from the explanation of the weapon spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune.
"I knew that Mr. Gu was up to no good. He let us out, invited us to a banquet, and helped Ruoyin to start on the path of cultivation …"
"Heh, heh, how could there be such a good thing in the world? He is just a hypocrite with a human face and a beast heart. "
Jiang Chen sneered inwardly, but he looked calm.
He was thinking of a way to get out of this situation. As a traveler, he had the Celestial Boat of Fortune. As long as he made a good plan, he would definitely be able to defeat him.
"Jiang Chen, we must save our master. She hasn't woken up yet. She is very weak."
"She was our former master, the High Priestess of Fate. We can't just ignore her."
The weapon spirit's voice was shaking in his mind. It sounded scared.
It had been proud, but at the moment, it was shocked, uneasy, and scared. It felt like it had seen something horrible with Gu Changge.
"That man is dangerous. Although I don't know who he is, the fear has gone deep into my Sea of Soul. I can't get rid of it. It's really dangerous for our master to stay with him. We don't know when she will be killed by him. "
It was still rattling on and on about its explanation. It was extremely worried.
However, Jiang Chen interrupted it. He looked calm. "I see. Now you just need to tell me what you can do and how you can help me. Ruoyin was deceived by that Young Master Gu. She didn't know anything about it. No one can save her now except me."
Hearing this, the artifact spirit of the Good Fortune Immortal Boat said, "I have only just awakened, so there isn't much I can do to help you. However, my greatest specialty is that I can observe fate and destiny, crack array patterns, and so on. I can also transform you into the Good Fortune Saint Body …"
"Sacred Body of Fortune? What kind of body is that? It sounds like it's very powerful. "
Jiang Chen asked. "What's the use of observing fate, luck, crack formation patterns, and so on?"
"I don't need to tell you how powerful the Sacred Body of Fortune is. You only need to know that it's one of the ten greatest sacred bodies in the world. It can control the Doctrine of Fortune. It's extremely powerful. "
"As long as we leave this place and go to the outside world, with my ability, you can easily obtain many opportunities that ordinary people can't. I can identify some treasures that others can't identify. Apart from that, I can decipher those Origin Stones, the topography of the mountains and rivers, and the formation runes and restrictions …"
The weapon spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune explained. It sounded as arrogant as before.
So, it was like picking up treasures, gambling on stones, and so on?
Jiang Chen nodded. He listened to her attentively. Gradually, he felt hopeful. However, in other people's eyes, he was just drinking bitterly, one mouthful after another.
"Has the cheat been activated? Looks like it's time. "
At the head of the table, Gu Changge drank up the wine in his cup. He had been paying attention to Jiang Chen's behavior. A faint smile was hanging at the corner of his mouth.
In his eyes, Jiang Chen's luck points were changing rapidly. They were like an erupting volcano.
Compared to before, his luck points had increased by more than one level.
What did this mean? It meant Jiang Chen had finally become a real Son of Fortune. He had his own cheat.
He was finally qualified to make Gu Changge take advantage of him.
"The Spirit Body is one body, and it can go against the universe? What does this mean? Does it have anything to do with the Celestial Boat of Fortune? "
Gu Changge looked interested. He recalled the explanation the system had given him when he had asked it.
Soon, he had guessed what kind of Son of Fortune Jiang Chen was.
The weapon spirit had been reincarnated into a human.
If that was the case, the rest of the matters would be much simpler.
"Qingge, bring the Universal Fruit here."
At this moment, Gu Changge suddenly spoke. He told Ji Qingxuan, who was next to him.
The Universal Fruit, as its name suggested, could help people understand this world's language quickly after taking it.
For some practitioners who had ascended from the Lower Realm but did not know this world's language, it was a rare spiritual object.
"Yes, young master."
Ji Qingxuan got up quickly. She went to get the fruit. It was not rare in the Upper Realm. You could see it in many shops and stalls.
"Universal Fruit?" Xiao Ruoyin threw Gu Changge a puzzled look.
Smiling, Black Jade explained to her, "This is a very common spiritual fruit in the Upper Realm. Your companions don't know this world's language. After taking this fruit, they'll be able to understand what we're saying quickly. Even if they can't practice in the future, they'll be able to get used to living in this world quickly."
Hearing Black Jade's explanation, Xiao Ruoyin came to a realization. She was even more grateful to Gu Changge. She could not help but feel deeply touched.
Just now, she only mentioned that her companions wanted to practice. In the end, not only did Gu Changge agree quickly, but he even provided them with the Universal Fruit.
She really had no way of repaying such a great kindness.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu."
Xiao Ruoyin's slightly crimson eyes landed on Gu Changge's face. She thanked him softly.
She knew that if it were not for her, Gu Changge would not care about such a small matter.
"It's just a small matter. You don't have to do this."
Gu Changge smiled. He was still drinking his wine and did not seem to care.
Soon, Ji Qingxuan returned. On the jade plate in her hand were seven fist-sized fruits that emitted dense light. They were crystal clear and flowed with mysterious colors.
These fruits had a mysterious charm. They emitted a rich fragrance that made people feel like their pores were about to open.
"Are these the Universal Fruit?" Xiao Ruoyin sized them up curiously.
Gu Changge nodded. "Yes, they are."
Xiao Ruoyin stood up. She took the jade plate from Ji Qingxuan. Then she walked toward Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and others.
Seeing them looking at her in confusion, Xiao Ruoyin showed a smile. She explained, "These are the Universal Fruit. After taking them, you will be able to understand this world's language. Moreover, Young Master Gu has agreed to my request. You can test it later to see whether you have the talent for practicing."
"Universal Fruit?"
"Really?"
"That's great! Thank you so much, Young Master Gu! "
Niu Tian, Wang Ning, and others were struck dumb at first. Then they came to themselves quickly. They became excited. Their faces flushed. They looked at Gu Changge and Xiao Ruoyin with gratitude.
At this moment, their gratitude towards Gu Changge could not be any greater.
He had not only agreed to their request, but had also given them the Universal Fruit so that they could understand this world's language.
At this time, there was really no way to repay this great kindness. The resentment from being imprisoned for several days had also disappeared like smoke in thin air.
Who cared about the companions who had died tragically in this place even earlier? They would soon become immortals who could fly on clouds and pick stars and moons from the sky.
"This Young Master Gu is a nice guy. No wonder even Xiao Ruoyin is like this …" Niu Tian murmured in a low voice, but he shut up soon because he was afraid Jiang Chen would be unhappy.
However, Jiang Chen did not seem to care. He nodded. He even showed a small smile. He agreed. "Yeah. Young Master Gu is a nice guy. I was too narrow-minded. I misunderstood him."
As he spoke, he looked toward Xiao Ruoyin, who was walking toward him. "Ruoyin, please thank Young Master Gu for me. Jiang Chen will never forget Young Master Gu's great kindness."
He was not stupid. If he made a scene out of anger, he would not only offend Gu Changge, but also attract Young Master Gu's attention.
On the contrary, if Gu Changge paid too much attention to him, it would be detrimental to his future.
Hearing his words, a smile appeared on Xiao Ruoyin's indifferent face. "I understand. I'll tell Young Master Gu about it later. But I think you should tell Young Master Gu these words yourself. With Young Master Gu's character, he shouldn't blame you."
Although she said that, she felt relieved. She was worried that Jiang Chen would still hold a grudge against her.
Otherwise, with his strength, facing Gu Changge, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg. He would only end up dead.
They had known each other for a long time. She did not want Jiang Chen to lose his life at this moment.
"Okay. I will if I have the chance." Jiang Chen smiled slightly. He was not irritated by Xiao Ruoyin's words. He took the Literacy Fruit from the jade plate.
However, he did not swallow it immediately like the others. Instead, he sized it up with curiosity.
Xiao Ruoyin took a deep look at Jiang Chen. She somehow felt that the current Jiang Chen seemed to have changed in a different way compared to before.
He was confident and calm. It was like he had changed into another person. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had been reborn.
Jiang Chen had changed so much in such a short time. Xiao Ruoyin thought about it carefully. In the end, she could only attribute it to the change in Jiang Chen's state of mind after he knew he could start practicing.
"It's good that you have thought it through."
Then, a smile appeared on her face. After leaving such a sentence, Xiao Ruoyin returned to Gu Changge's side and whispered to him about some things.
Gu Changge was smiling. He talked politely and elegantly. Of course, he told her everything he knew. He answered all of her questions.
Niu Tian, Wang Ning, and the others swallowed the Literacy Fruit as soon as they had gotten it.
This was the first time they had swallowed a spiritual fruit from the Upper World. They had to admit that it was so magical that they opened their eyes wide.
Everyone felt the Literacy Fruit turned into a spring the moment they swallowed it. It was refreshing and tasty. It flowed into their limbs and bones.
Every cell and every inch of their flesh and blood felt a mysterious energy flowing into them. It was very mysterious.
They even felt a refreshing energy flowing into the center of their eyebrows. As if it had opened their minds, all kinds of noises around them became clear.
"It's amazing."
One of them opened his eyes wide. He could hardly believe it. He found he could understand the language around him all of a sudden.
This made him extremely excited and pleasantly surprised. Could he also become an immortal who could fly in the sky and burrow into the earth in the future? Would he have all kinds of beauties? Would he rule the world?
"Niu Tian …"
Seeing Niu Tian swallow the fruit in his hand right away, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He was going to persuade Niu Tian to eat it later, but it was too late.
He could only sigh helplessly.
Because Jiang Chen knew Gu Changge was up to no good. Who knew whether the Literacy Fruit he had given Niu Tian would have any problems?
It was never wrong to be vigilant.
Besides, Jiang Chen could understand the language of this world. So, it was the same for him whether he ate the Literacy Fruit or not.
"What's wrong?"
Niu Tian threw Jiang Chen a puzzled look after he had eaten it. Seeing Jiang Chen still not eat it, he thought Jiang Chen was worried it would hurt him. He could not help but smile. "Don't worry. It's all right. I can understand what they are saying now. This thing is really amazing."
"Okay."
Jiang Chen nodded, but he was asking the weapon spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune in his mind.
If he did not eat it at this moment, he would be humiliating Gu Changge in front of so many people. Who knew what the consequences would be?
"Jiang Chen, don't eat it. No, don't swallow it after you eat it. I feel like this Literacy Fruit is different from other Literacy Fruits. You can't be too careful."
The weapon spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune answered. His tender voice was uneasy and vigilant.
"Okay. Got it." Jiang Chen nodded. Then, under many people's gazes, he swallowed the Literacy Fruit.
However, when the Literacy Fruit had turned into a spring, he did not swallow it like the others. Instead, he kept it in his mouth.
Then he swallowed it, pretending to swallow it.
Then Jiang Chen started to drink again. He seemed to be very depressed.
However, he seemed to have drunk too fast. He choked and spat out all the wine in his mouth.
"Drink slowly. Why are you in such a hurry?" Niu Tian glanced at him helplessly, but he knew Jiang Chen was not feeling well, so he did not say anything to him.
"I'm fine. I'm much better now." Jiang Chen smiled. He looked very calm.
Gu Changge, who was sitting in the main seat, saw all of Jiang Chen's little tricks. He could not help but smile, but he did not point it out.
For him, all of Jiang Chen's current actions were like child's play. They were ridiculous. They would not affect him at all.
However, in order to help Jiang Chen, who was like a leek, grow up healthily, Gu Changge did not mind him playing such tricks.
"Young Master Gu, Jiang Chen asked me to apologize to you for what he did in the past. I hope you won't take it to heart."
An elegant and peaceful fragrance came from next to him.
Xiao Ruoyin certainly did not know what Gu Changge was thinking. She still remembered what Jiang Chen had asked her to say. Then she raised her wine cup and proposed a toast to Gu Changge.
"It doesn't matter. Why would I take such a trivial matter to heart?" Gu Changge turned his head and smiled. He did not take it to heart.
"Okay." Xiao Ruoyin blushed, as if she was shy and embarrassed by Gu Changge's look.
Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed to see this from a distance, but he soon recovered. However, he could not help but clench his fists under the banquet table.
Then the guests and the host enjoyed themselves to the fullest. Everyone seemed to be drunk.
Niu Tian, Wang Ning, and the others were not as vigilant towards Gu Changge as before. Some of them even plucked up the courage to propose a toast to Gu Changge.
Gu Changge nodded slightly. He did not refuse anyone. His smile was always as refreshing as a spring breeze. People were even flattered.
In the end, when the banquet was about to end, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall.
"Here she is?"
Gu Changge noticed this fluctuation. Her eyes moved slightly, and then she followed it.
A beautiful woman in a fiery red dress appeared in the air. She was barefooted. Her hair was as smooth as silk. Her skin was fair and sparkling, shining with divine light.
Her facial features were delicate. Her eyes were like glass and gemstones. She looked cold. There was a mole under the corner of her eye. She had a special charm and charm.
Niu Tian and the others' eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and their breathing was disordered. They had never seen such an indescribably beautiful woman, who could be called a peerless beauty.
Whether it was Hei Yan Yu or Ji Qing Xuan, they all lacked a kind of aura and elegance.
She was definitely a dreadful strong woman!
This was their first reaction.
"Greetings, Young Master."
The woman was certainly Yan Ji, who had come from the Changsheng Gu Family on Gu Changge's order.
Her energy was many times stronger than it had been at the beginning.
Prospective Supreme Venerable!
Although she had just broken through, before she met Gu Changge, she was only a remnant soul that could vanish at any time.
"Congratulations on entering the Prospective Supreme Venerable. You didn't disappoint me," Gu Changge said with a smile.
Yan Ji looked at him, then looked at Ji Qingxuan, Hei Yanyu, and Xiao Ruoyin. No one knew what she was thinking.
"I thought Young Master had forgotten about me."
Yan Ji's voice was calm, but Niu Tian and the others could hear a faint resentment in it.
This made them incredibly envious. Their eyes were about to turn red. When would they be able to be like this as well? The beauties at their sides were all heavenly beauties.
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with cultivating properly? "
Gu Changge smiled, then looked at Xiao Ruoyin and said, "This is the master I found for you. You can follow her and cultivate in the future."
"Master?"
Xiao Ruoyin was surprised. At first, she thought that the master Gu Changge found for her would be one of those white-haired elders.
To her surprise, it turned out to be such an excessively beautiful woman.
But soon, Xiao Ruoyin came to herself. She hurried to salute her. "Greetings, Master."
Although she had not started on the path of cultivation, she knew what states there were in this world. The excessively beautiful woman in front of her looked about the same age as her, but she was already a Prospective Supreme Venerable.
And what a Prospective Supreme Venerable meant, Xiao Ruoyin knew very well, so she was very respectful.
Yan Ji certainly knew why Gu Changge had asked her to come here, so she was not confused. She looked calm and told Xiao Ruoyin not to be so polite.
"Master?" Niu Tian, Wang Ning, and the others were also surprised that Gu Changge had arranged a master for Xiao Ruoyin. And she was so pretty. They were really envious.
"Prospective Supreme Venerable … What state is that? Is it great?"
However, Jiang Chen was paying attention to something else. He asked the spirit of the Fairy Boat of Fortune in his mind. He wanted to know how strong a Prospective Supreme Venerable was so that he could estimate Gu Changge's strength.
After all, if a Prospective Supreme Venerable was obedient to him, it meant that Gu Changge was much stronger than a Prospective Supreme Venerable.
The spirit of the Fairy Boat of Fortune, who had always been arrogant, kept silent for a while. Then it said, "Very strong. For you now, very strong."
It emphasized it, because it was afraid that Jiang Chen would not understand.
"How strong is that?" Jiang Chen was not very happy with its answer.
"Just strong enough to break a star with a single finger …" the spirit of the Fairy Boat of Fortune answered.
"Hiss!" Although Jiang Chen hated Gu Changge so much that he wanted to take revenge, he could not help but take a deep breath at this moment. He was trembling a little. A dreadful coldness swept over him in an instant.
If this woman was so strong, how strong would Gu Changge be? He could not imagine it.
At this moment, Jiang Chen felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He felt cold all over. His ambition and hesitation were extinguished in an instant.
He even felt desperate. Breaking a star with a single finger. What did that mean?
Even the world that he was in before could be destroyed with a single finger of his.
Could a person really be so strong?
"Don't feel desperate. When we were in our prime, even immortals were nothing in front of us. A Prospective Supreme Venerable scared you so much …"
The Fairy Boat of Fortune hurried to comfort Jiang Chen when it had seen that something was wrong with him.
Although they were not a match for a Prospective Supreme Venerable at the moment, they would still be crushed by him in the future.
Jiang Chen felt much better. He calmed down very soon. He was weak indeed, but who could predict what would happen in the future?
"It seems like you still need to temper your mental state," the Vessel Spirit of the Immortal Vessel of Fortune said.
Then the banquet ended.
Xiao Ruoyin took Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others to test their talent and constitution. Gu Changge did not go with them. Then he waved his hand to dismiss Hei Yanyu and Ji Qingxuan.
Only he and Yan Ji were left in the hall.
