During this period of time, Gu Changge was thinking about the Demon Burial Abyss. He wanted to go to Peach Village and ask Peach Demon about it. At the same time, he wanted to see his disciple, Yao Yao.
However, Gu Xian 'er was not in the clan. It would be inappropriate for him to go alone. Although he could use the excuse of going to see Yao Yao, who knew what those old guys would think if they did not see Gu Xian 'er.
Therefore, Gu Changge decided to wait for Gu Xian 'er to come back after she dealt with her own affairs. She would arrange everything properly by the way.
However, Gu Changge received a piece of news that surprised him.
"Young Master, Miss Xian 'er has been away from the clan for half a year. There is still no news from her."
The subordinate said respectfully.
"In this half a year, she did not send back any news?"
Gu Changge frowned slightly. He did not understand what this girl was doing.
He knew that she had something on her mind when he was in the Taixu Divine Tomb. However, she did not mention it, so Gu Changge did not ask.
With Gu Xian 'er's personality, if it was something she could solve herself, she would not trouble others.
Especially since her parents were involved in this matter.
"No, Miss Xian 'er did not give any orders when she returned to the clan. She left alone and did not ask the clan to send any experts to follow her." The subordinate replied.
"Got it. You may leave."
Gu Changge nodded. His fingers tapped the table unhurriedly.
He planned to wait for Gu Xian 'er to come back and bring her to Peach Village with him. That would give him a suitable excuse.
Now, it seemed that he could not wait for her.
It took half a year to deal with such a small matter. Who knew how much more time she would have to waste?
"The Tianlan Realm is not far from the Boundary Monument Sea. The war with the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions may affect it."
"Speaking of which, her grandfather went there to hunt for her in an attempt to refine the precious blood. However, he was unfortunately hit by the waves of the Boundary Monument Sea. He was severely injured and disappeared."
"It just so happens that the Tianlan Realm is the Lower Realm where Gu Xian 'er's mother's family resides. Her parents went to look for her grandfather and haven't returned to the Gu family for more than ten years."
Gu Changge recalled the news he received when he ordered his subordinates to search for traces of his grandfather for Gu Xian 'er.
Normally, Gu Xian 'er wouldn't have so many problems when she went to find her parents and grandfather.
After all, she had the Changsheng Gu Clan behind her. Even if her parents were unwilling to return to the Gu Clan because of what had happened back then, they still held grudges.
But it was impossible for Gu Xian 'er to stay there forever.
With this thought in mind, Gu Changge suddenly smelled the scent of a trap.
Even if it wasn't related to Gu Xian 'er, it probably had something to do with her.
"Men, prepare the carriage. We're going to the Endless Sky Realm."
Gu Changge narrowed his eyes. His expression was somewhat thought-provoking as he instructed.
He felt that the Tianlan Realm would definitely bear the brunt of the Battle of Eight Desolates and Ten Regions. After all, the Tianlan Realm could be said to be at the forefront of the Lower Realms that bordered the Boundary Monument Sea.
…
The Tianlan Realm was an ancient world with outstanding people and a boundless territory.
Although it was far from being as vast as the Upper Realm, it was definitely considered one of the best among the many Lower Realms nearby.
The mountains and rivers were majestic and endless. If one looked down from the sky, they would find that the many giant cities were filled with spirit energy and shrouded in celestial fog. It was like a holy land on earth.
In particular, the gathering places of many living beings were even more prosperous. Divine cities floated in the sky, silver waterfalls were like silk, colorful fog lingered, and clouds were rising.
In the Tianlan Realm, other than the many ancient clans, there were holy lands with a long history. They were high up and looked down on all living beings.
In every ancient city, there were wisps of different colored divine fog lingering. There were masters in charge. There were many powerhouses and young geniuses.
In this world, the level of cultivation was extremely high. In some aspects, it was even comparable to some remote places in the Upper Realm.
Of course, if it was compared to the Upper Realm, it was definitely far from being comparable.
Because of the heritage, the Precepts of Heaven and Earth … These were very different.
Over the years, many powerhouses from the Tianlan Realm had ascended to the Upper Realm. Many rumors were left behind, making countless living beings and cultivators yearn for it.
Sometimes, powerhouses from the Upper Realm could even be seen descending to this world in search of talented young cultivators to bring back to the Upper Realm for nurturing.
Therefore, as time passed, the Upper Realm was no longer considered mysterious in the eyes of the living beings in the Tianlan Realm. However, it still held supreme significance.
At this moment, in a majestic ancient palace of the Shen Clan.
Many elders with powerful auras were discussing some matters here.
As one of the ancient clans with a long history in the Tianlan Realm, the Shen Clan had an unimaginably terrifying power within a radius of millions of miles.
Even the other holy lands with a longer history in the Tianlan Realm were quite wary of them.
This was because the Shen Clan was inextricably linked to a certain terrifying force in the Upper Realm. Sometimes, even people from the Upper Realm were quite polite to them and did not dare to humiliate them.
This matter was not a secret among the major forces in the Tianlan Realm.
In the palace, a few elders with powerful auras and solemn expressions were discussing matters, suppressing their anger.
From time to time, violent quarrels could be heard, causing many members of the Shen Clan in the distant mountain peaks to be shocked.
"Since Xian 'er is unwilling, then let's just forget about this matter. Can't the Shen Clan take out some compensation?"
"It's true that he saved Xian 'er's grandfather and grandfather, but that was more than a decade ago. Now that Xian' er is so old … she can decide for herself about the marriage."
"Don't tell me you want to force her?"
"Let me ask you one question, do you dare? You should know that half of the Gu Clan's blood flows in her body … which one of you dares to make such a decision? "
"If Xian 'er was born in the Upper Realm, she would definitely be a famous goddess. How can a piece of trash of unknown origin be worthy of the precious daughter of the Shen Clan?"
The elder who spoke was dignified without being angry. His lips were slightly thin, and his words were sharp.
However, the things he said made it difficult for the people in the hall to refute.
"But this matter was agreed to in front of others more than a decade ago, and there was even a letter written by Xian 'er's grandfather. If this matter were to spread, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Shen Clan?"
Hearing this, the elder next to him smiled bitterly with a kind face, looking very helpless.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Three years ago, that guy came to us himself. The Shen Clan treated him as the savior of Xian 'er's grandfather and grandfather, so we treated him with respect and courtesy. We knew that his body's condition was special, and his Spirit Sea was broken. We found many treasures, elixirs, and longevity fruits for him, but we never mistreated him. "
"At that time, it was agreed that if his body didn't recover after three years, the marriage agreement would be voided, and the Shen Clan wouldn't owe him anything."
"Now that three years have passed, has his body improved at all?"
"In the end, that guy still relies on the Shen Clan and doesn't honor the agreement three years ago. How can I bear this?"
The mean-looking elder said furiously.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This agreement three years ago was actually just a joke. With the Shen Clan's financial resources, how could they not be able to solve the problem of a broken Spirit Sea?
At that time, they just wanted to express that this was just a small problem. If it couldn't be solved, there was naturally no need to fulfill the marriage agreement.
Because at that time, they felt that the person behind Li Xiu was very extraordinary and worthy of their deep friendship.
But that guy was special. With all kinds of treasures, his broken Spirit Sea didn't change at all.
They didn't know what happened to him.
This made them feel helpless. At that time, it was just a verbal agreement, and there was no evidence left.
Now, even if they wanted to admit it, the other party was acting shamelessly and they couldn't do anything.
On the contrary, it would make people think that the Shen Clan burned the bridge after crossing the river and turned hostile.
Now that this matter was mentioned by Shen Xian 'er again, they also felt a headache and it was difficult to solve because she didn't want to marry a cripple.
However, it just so happened that this matter was decided by her grandfather and grandfather back then.
"Elders, there's no need to say more."
"I only want to pursue the Great Dao in this life, and I don't plan to marry and have children. Even if the incident three years ago didn't happen, I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage agreement."
"When grandfather and grandfather return, I will personally explain this matter to them."
At this moment, a young girl walked in from outside the hall.
She looked to be only 13 or 14 years old.
She was wearing a moon-white dress, and her facial features were beautiful. Her skin was white and delicate, and she was tall. Her whole body exuded a cold and calm aura, as if she had never been moved by external things.
Even her tone of voice didn't have any fluctuations.
Seeing the young girl walking in, everyone in the hall was stunned and then smiled bitterly.
The elder who spoke just now revealed a kind smile and said, "Don't worry, Xian 'er, your sister is now in the clan. With her around, no one will force you to do this kind of thing. What about the marriage agreement, just tear it up and be done with it. "
"That kind of trash with a broken Spirit Sea is not worthy of you."
The young girl named Shen Xian 'er nodded and said, "Thank you, Second Grandpa, I understand."
Seeing this, the people in the hall didn't say anything more.
Although Shen Xian 'er was born in the Shen Clan, half of the Gu Clan's bloodline flowed in her body. If the Gu Clan knew, they would definitely not let her stay here.
But because of special reasons, Shen Xian 'er's parents didn't want the Gu Clan to know of her existence.
Otherwise, she would have already gone to the Upper Realm to cultivate and wouldn't have stayed in the Tianlan Realm.
"Then Li Xiu's matter is decided like this? I will personally talk to him later, "the elder said.
The old man who spoke earlier continued. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction towards the man called Li Xiu.
Everyone nodded and didn't say anything more.
At the same time, in a valley with ethereal spirit fog that looked like a fairyland.
A man, a woman, and a young girl were here, and they were softly talking about something.
The man was quite valiant, with a strong aura and a resolute face.
The woman was very beautiful, and the way she looked at the young girl was doting.
The young girl was wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress, and she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her hair was like the clouds, and her facial features were delicate and delicate, without any flaws. Her skin was white and delicate, like the most flawless white jade.
Her expression was cold, and she had a celestial aura that stood aloof from worldly affairs. She was Gu Xian 'er.
"This matter was decided by your sister herself, so you don't have to worry."
"Your sister's personality is very similar to yours, but she only has the Great Path in her heart. Back then, your grandfather and grandfather shouldn't have arranged this marriage for her."
This couple was naturally Gu Xian 'er's parents.
At this moment, the two of them sighed and mentioned Shen Xian 'er's matter, telling Gu Xian' er not to worry about it.
"I know, Xian 'er's matter is her own decision, and no one can force her."
Gu Xian 'er nodded. In front of her parents, she appeared very mature and steady, like an older sister.
Although she said so, she was still a little worried.
Half a year ago, she received news that something had happened to her mother's family.
She was a little worried, so she came to the Tianlan Realm alone.
After Gu Changge helped her find traces of her parents, she found out that during the years she was missing, her parents thought that something had happened to her and were heartbroken. In addition, they wanted to keep a descendant, so they gave birth to a younger sister for her.
She was three years younger than her, and her name was Shen Xian 'er.
However, because of what happened back then, her parents held a grudge against the Gu family, and all these years, they were unwilling to go back. Even the child's name was Shen, not following the surname Gu.
This matter had never been mentioned to the Gu family.
If Gu Xian 'er had not come here personally, she would not have known that she had a younger sister.
She had also never mentioned these things to the Gu family, because her parents had told her not to tell them.
As for Shen Xian 'er, although her personality was similar to hers, she was only focused on cultivating the Great Path, and had no other thoughts.
Her talent for cultivation was also extremely outstanding, and she was the best among her peers.
Even if she went to the Upper Realm, she could shine brightly and become an invincible young Supreme Being …
Gu Xian 'er only found out about these things after she came to the Shen clan.
As for the marriage agreement, it had to be explained from more than ten years ago.
At that time, her grandfather went to the Boundary Monument Sea to hunt, and tried to catch those ferocious beasts with special talents to refine her precious blood for cultivation.
However, he did not expect to encounter the waves of the Boundary Monument Sea, and was slapped into a dangerous place, and he was seriously injured.
When her parents found out about this, they brought their people to search for him.
Gu Xian 'er's parents searched for a long time, but they could not find any trace of him.
Then, when they heard the shocking news from the Gu family, they were heartbroken and desperate, and returned to the Shen clan to live in seclusion.
In the Shen clan, after Gu Xian 'er's grandfather came out of seclusion and found out about this, he also brought powerhouses to try to find traces of her grandfather.
Coincidentally, at that time, her younger sister was born.
Unfortunately, she had found the person she was looking for. However, her grandfather and grandfather were trapped together in that place.
Both of them were trapped in the dangerous place for many years, and their lives were in danger.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a mysterious old man suddenly appeared and saved both of them, and treated their injuries.
This old man was accompanied by a young child.
This young child was called Li Xiu, and the old man and the young child were very mysterious.
In order to thank the old man for his kindness, and in consideration of his extraordinary means.
Gu Xian 'er's grandfather and her grandfather discussed and told them their background, and promised to repay the old man's kindness in the future. At the same time, they planned to let the newly born Shen Xian' er become his disciple.
Unfortunately, the old man did not agree, and said that he would not accept a disciple.
Then, the two changed their minds. Seeing that the young child was not young anymore, they agreed to the marriage, and the old man did not hesitate.
This was how the marriage between Shen Xian 'er and Li Xiu came about.
Originally, the Shen clan had almost forgotten about this matter, because when the old man agreed, he left with the young child, and no one knew where he went.
Even when the Shen clan asked around, they could not find any clues or traces.
This matter was originally thought to be just a joke, and no one took it seriously.
However, three years ago, a young man called Li Xiu suddenly came to the door, and with the letter written by Gu Xian 'er's grandfather and grandfather, he requested to fulfill the marriage contract.
This matter shocked the Shen clan, and they did not expect that what happened back then was actually true.
Considering that they were indebted to him, the Shen clan did not make things difficult for Li Xiu. Not only did they allow him to live in, but they also found a way to help him repair his broken Spirit Ocean.
As for the mysterious old man, the Shen clan did not see him, and suspected that Li Xiu was his disciple, so they did not neglect him.
However, Li Xiu's Spirit Ocean was very special. Not only was it broken, but it could not gather any Spirit Qi. No matter how many spiritual medicines were used, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, and there was no sign of recovery.
Over time, it became a joke in the neighborhood.
The Shen clan had a useless son-in-law.
This matter made the Shen clan feel very embarrassed.
However, they made a promise back then, and it was not good to go back on it.
However, Shen Xian 'er was a person who only cared about cultivation, and was very disgusted by these things. In these three years, she had only seen Li Xiu a few times.
"Li Xiu's temperament is not simple. For the past three years, he has been raising flowers and planting grass in that courtyard every day. He doesn't care about anything else. This kind of leisure is not something an ordinary person can compare to." Mother Shen sighed and said.
"If there was no problem with his Spirit Ocean, it would be fine. However, he is a useless person who cannot cultivate. Sometimes, I even feel like he is an old monster who has seen through the vicissitudes of life … "
"Isn't this hard on Xian 'er? Father and the others should not have made such a promise casually. Of all things to repay, they had to use Xian 'er's marriage. "
Hearing this, Father Gu smiled bitterly and said, "It is useless to talk about this now. Let's see how the clan will deal with this. After all, no one dares to force Xian 'er."
Gu Xian 'er nodded and said coldly, "This matter is indeed wrong, but the Shen clan has spent a lot of resources in these three years. In fact, we do not owe him anything. When the time comes, we will give him some compensation. If his mysterious master comes back and is not satisfied with this, we will let him propose other conditions. "
Her thinking was very simple. Even if they were wrong, they could not let her sister suffer.
At this time, a divine rainbow descended from outside the valley.
It was Shen Xian 'er, who had just left the palace. When she heard this, she looked at Gu Xian' er and said, "Thank you, Elder Sister."
"By the way, Xian 'er, we have been dealing with your sister's situation. However, we do not know much about your situation. When you came last time, we did not make it clear. What do you plan to do with the Gu family? "
"The Gu family owes you and me for what happened back then. Gu Changge is so young, but his mind is so cruel. Back then, you were so clingy to him, but he could bear to do this."
Mother Shen suddenly asked with a pained expression. When she mentioned the Gu family, there was still some resentment.
Father Gu was also silent. This was also the reason why they did not return to the Gu family all these years. It was really difficult to accept this, and there was a grudge in their hearts.
Gu Xian 'er, at such a young age, had to bear this.
If it were not for the fact that they were not strong enough now, they would have personally gone to Gu Changge and asked him why he did this.
Hearing this, Gu Xian 'er shook her head and explained, "Mother, this is actually a misunderstanding. You don't have to worry anymore. Our family is doing very well now. Gu Changge is not as bad as you think."
"He just has his own difficulties."
This matter was related to Gu Changge's secret. Although she knew that her parents were concerned about her, she would not expose it and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Elder Sister …"
Shen Xian 'er glanced at Gu Xian' er. She actually knew what happened to Gu Xian 'er since she was young. She knew about her tragic childhood and sympathized with her.
Sometimes, she even thought that Gu Xian 'er was no longer in this world. She planned to succeed in her cultivation and avenge her elder sister in the future.
As for the Gu Changge that her parents spoke of, although she had never met him, she also felt hatred. She never thought that as a member of the same family, and as Gu Xian 'er's cousin, he would do such a cruel and heartless thing at such a young age.
