"Young Master Changge, don't worry. I have no ill intentions towards Xian Er from the beginning."
In the vast and empty hall, An Yan's face was slightly pale, but she still maintained her calmness.
She knew why Gu Changge asked her to stay alone.
This made her somewhat nervous. She believed that in this world, there were not many people who would not be nervous when they were alone with Gu Changge.
Not to mention, she had her own thoughts. She was a little uneasy.
"Then what is your purpose in getting in touch with Xian Er?"
Hearing this, Gu Changge only smiled faintly and did not turn his head.
"I …"
An Yan's expression was a little sluggish. She knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from Gu Changge's eyes.
In front of others, she could seamlessly pretend to be innocent, brilliant, and harmless.
But in the eyes of someone like Gu Changge, this kind of disguise was obviously useless.
"You don't want to say?"
Gu Changge's tone was still casual and did not change much.
But it made An Yan's forehead break out in cold sweat.
She clenched her fists and suddenly gathered her courage. She raised her head and stared at Gu Changge's back, saying, "Because I want to get close to Young Master Changge through Xian Er. I have no ill intentions towards Xian Er. I am very willing to make friends with her. "
"Oh, is that so?"
Gu Changge's expression was still indifferent, as if he was not surprised.
But he was a little surprised that An Yan was so calm. He thought that An Yan would take the opportunity to quibble.
Of course, this was also good. He could see that she was a smart person and was not as innocent as the rumors said.
It seemed that her harmless appearance in front of others was a disguise.
Thinking of this, Gu Changge suddenly narrowed his eyes and became interested.
In other words, for the past twenty years, An Yan had been hiding and pretending, being cautious.
Living in the reclusive An Clan and being the eldest daughter of the first wife. Her mother passed away for unknown reasons, her father did not care, and she was bullied by an evil sister.
This kind of background template seemed a little familiar.
"That's right. The main reason I approached Xian 'er was because I wanted to get close to Young Master Changge."
"I have other intentions towards Young Master Changge. Like other women, I want to climb up the social ladder and obtain more power."
An Yan raised her head and stared at Gu Changge's back as she spoke.
She was very smart, which was why she had been cautious all these years and kept a low profile.
She even disguised herself with an innocent and harmless appearance, which greatly reduced her threat in the eyes of others.
Therefore, An Yan could see that if she lied in front of Gu Changge, it would definitely make Gu Changge unhappy.
In front of him, the best way was to honestly confess everything and not have any thoughts of hiding anything.
"Unfortunately, your method is wrong."
Gu Changge said indifferently, "Even if you approach me, I have no interest in you."
He saw Ji Qingxuan's shadow in An Yan.
However, compared to Ji Qingxuan, An Yan's situation was obviously worse.
An Yan was not surprised by Gu Changge's words, but she did not give up at all.
"I know, whether it is my current power, status, cultivation, or appearance, they can't enter Young Master Changge's eyes."
She clenched her teeth and continued.
It was not easy to encounter such an opportunity, she did not want to miss it and did not want to give up.
"Oh, then you're still trying to get close to me?"
Gu Changge raised his eyebrows and looked back, carefully sizing her up.
In terms of appearance, her facial features were exquisite, and her figure was proud. She was indeed a rare national beauty.
However, this obviously had no effect on him.
He then probed An Yan's fate points. It looked ordinary and could not even be called a person with great fate, let alone a daughter of fate.
Could it be that his guess was wrong?
"If not, then I will never have the chance to make a comeback."
An Yan's expression was slightly gloomy, then she clenched her teeth and said firmly. There was a determination in the depths of her eyes that made the hearts of cultivators tremble.
Before this, she had thought of many possibilities to curry favor with Gu Changge.
However, she never expected that today's situation with Gu Changge would be so calm. All her previous preparations could be said to be in vain.
"What a good Dao Heart …"
Gu Changge's face was somewhat interested. Just now, he saw An Yan's fate points increase a lot because of some unknown reason.
So, she was actually the kind of … Daughter of Fate that had not truly formed.
And now, she was only in the process of accumulating fate?
Thinking of this, his interest was piqued. He wanted to see how far An Yan could go.
"If my Dao Heart was not strong, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."
The corners of An Yan's mouth curled up into a wry smile. Then, her expression became slightly cautious as she said, "Actually, I have something to tell Young Master Yu Changge."
"What is it?"
Gu Changge's gaze fell on her face, and he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
At his level, the world was boundless, difficult to fathom.
Sometimes, with just a thought, he could feel some hidden karmic threads.
It seemed that what An Yan wanted to say was related to him.
"It's about my sister An Xi. A while ago, she was living in seclusion and saved a strange man."
"I once overheard a conversation between her and a strange man …"
An Yan's expression had returned to normal, and she told him everything she knew without hiding anything.
This actually happened not long ago.
At that time, the upper realm had not started to invade the Eight Desolation Ten Regions, and the Boundary Monument Sea had not dried up yet.
Her sister An Xi, because of her Cultivation Method, usually cultivated in seclusion, not in the clan, but in a small country's Peach Blossom Village.
That Peach Blossom Village was isolated from the rest of the world, and had not contacted the outside world for almost ten thousand years.
For practitioners, ten thousand years was just a blink of an eye, but for mortals, it was 100 generations.
As a result, the Peach Blossom Village was very peaceful, and it was almost undisturbed by the outside world. There was only a slow stream that flowed from far away.
One day, her sister An Xi's maid found an unconscious man swimming down the river in that slow stream.
The man seemed to have been seriously injured. He had been drifting in the river alone for a long time, and he had been in a coma the whole time.
However, it was strange that there were no wounds on his body. It was more like the wounds he had suffered before had healed by themselves.
Besides, there were many fierce beasts in that kind of river. Even practitioners did not have the nerve to wander alone, because it was a risk to their lives.
That man had no cultivation, but no fierce beasts had the nerve to approach him.
This discovery made An Xi assume this strange man had some kind of treasure or special body, and she saved him.
Hearing this, Gu Changge had already guessed who An Xi had saved.
Outside the Ancient Country of Vermilion Bird, he had sent his subordinates to chase after Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others, who had come from the lower realm. In the end, only Jiang Chen and Niu Tian had managed to escape.
Although he had done it on purpose.
He had not expected Niu Tian to give him such a surprise.
Jiang Chen, the Son of Luck reincarnated by the spirit of the Fairy Boat of Good Fortune, was needless to say.
It looked like this friend of his also had some kind of special body or bloodline.
"That strange man had been in a coma. Then my sister took him back to the clan. She found a spiritual doctor to wake him up. After an examination, they found he had the bloodline of the Hidden Immortal.
"My sister learned from that strange man that there was a grudge between him and Young Lord Changge," An Yan continued.
An Yan continued and glanced at Gu Changge. Seeing that his expression didn't change much, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In fact, none of this was important.
What really made her think her sister An Xi was courting death was that after she had learned about the grudge between that strange man and Gu Changge, she had not taken him.
Not only did she not capture him, she even helped him cultivate so that he would be of use to her in the future.
The bloodline of the Hidden Immortal was not a simple bloodline. It was a mysterious body, but no one knew what kind of body it was.
However, in the Upper Realm, there were many rumors about the bloodline of the Hidden Immortal. It was said that this kind of body could have the power of an immortal after it was fully developed. Although it was not a real immortal, it was strong enough to challenge immortals.
That was why it was called the bloodline of the Hidden Immortal.
Of course, there were only a few practitioners with this kind of bloodline.
The price of nurturing them was simply too terrifying, and it could easily be counted in an ocean.
In the history of the Upper Realm, there had only been a few people with this kind of bloodline.
As to why their race knew so much about it, it was because one of the ancestors of the reclusive An Race was one of them with the bloodline of the Hidden Immortal.
"He has the bloodline of the Hidden Immortal. If I had known, I wouldn't have let him go."
After hearing this, Gu Changge smiled faintly. She didn't really care.
At most, he was a little surprised that he did not notice Niu Tian's bloodline at that time.
However, for this matter, he actually had a backup plan at that time. The Sensory Fruit that Niu Tian and the others ate was not that simple.
If Gu Changge wanted to use this to find their location, it would not be difficult.
"These are all the things I know about my sister and that strange man. I didn't hide anything."
An Yan saw that Gu Changge did not look surprised and was a little puzzled.
"I see. So you want me to help you deal with your sister, right?"
Gu Changge nodded. His gaze fell on An Yan's face again, and he said with some interest.
He could guess An Yan's thoughts very well. The struggle for the throne within a large clan like the reclusive An Race was actually very serious.
An Yan's current position was very awkward. If she wanted to win the battle for the throne, then she needed the support of another force.
In her opinion, An Xi was courting death. She knew that she would offend her, but she still took in Niu Tian. She would definitely not let An Xi go.
Therefore, no matter whether it was in terms of power or the reason for making a move, he was the most suitable candidate.
"Young Master Changge, don't you care about An Xi's actions?" An Yan was a little anxious. This was naturally her purpose.
But judging from Gu Changge's expression, she was not very sure.
If Gu Changge could stand on her side, then her situation in the clan would definitely be greatly reversed.
Many clan elders would not dare to underestimate her because of this. They would not take her seriously like before.
She could also gradually have some right to speak in the reclusive An Race and take back what belonged to her.
"You seem to have overestimated your sister's ability. Do you think the reclusive An Race dares to offend me because of a man of unknown origin?"
"Especially when he is just a Hidden Immortal bloodline that has not yet grown up. How many resources does your clan have to invest in him to let him grow up?"
"Is this a good deal?"
Gu Changge just smiled faintly. He did not think that the reclusive An Race would offend him because of Niu Tian.
An Yan was stunned when she heard this. Before this, she had actually thought about this.
But now, the reclusive An Race was already under the control of her sister An Xi. Many times, her decision was the decision of the entire reclusive An Race.
If the entire reclusive An Race offended Gu Changge because of a man of unknown origin, even her sister would not be able to do it.
"I know, I was thinking too much."
The brilliance in An Yan's eyes dimmed.
If Gu Changge was willing, perhaps he could make the reclusive An Race hand over Niu Tian with just one sentence.
Gu Changge did not need to intervene in the grudge between her and her sister An Xi.
"Actually, it's very simple if you want me to help you."
"You need to prove to me that you are worth my help."
And just as An Yan was feeling bitter in her heart, Gu Changge's words rang out again. Suddenly, she was stunned and looked up. Her silver eyes were filled with deep surprise.
"Worth?"
An Yan's voice trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
"I know that I may be no different from a cripple to Young Master Changge now, but if I can control the reclusive An Race, the entire reclusive An Race is willing to follow Young Master Changge's lead in the future."
"An Yan is willing to be a slave and serve you."
However, hearing this, Gu Changge frowned and shook his head. "You seem to have misunderstood. What do I mean by worth?"
He wanted An Yan to prove her worth now, not in the future.
An Yan also reacted quickly. She knew that her words were tantamount to empty promises and were useless.
What Gu Changge wanted to see was what she could do now.
Therefore, she thought for a moment and gritted her teeth. "Actually, what I said to Young Master Changge before was not what I heard, but what the informant I planted around my sister told me."
"I also know that she will go to the ancestral planet later to collect blood to help that strange man cultivate."
The blood An Yan spoke of was not simply the blood of the An Race.
It was one of the three drops of true blood of the ancient ancestor who possessed the bloodline of a reclusive immortal. It was incomparably precious and contained a fragment of the true immortal dao.
Even a supreme-being would not dare to absorb it carelessly, as there was a risk of shattering their spirit seas and spirit palaces.
Her sister was planning to create another reclusive immortal and had paid a great price.
Speaking of this, An Yan calmed down and stared at Gu Changge. "I will think of a way to get that drop of true blood for Young Master Changge."
"Blood of a reclusive immortal? That's possible. I didn't expect your clan to still have three drops of true blood. "
Hearing these words, Gu Changge looked at her meaningfully, then smiled and said, "But one drop is not enough. I want all three drops of your clan's ancestral true blood."
Gu Changge was currently fretting over his lack of cultivation resources.
If all three drops of true ancestor blood contained fragments of the immortal dao, they could help him break through the threshold of the Nirvana realm.
An Yan naturally agreed to this request without question.
Three drops of true ancestor blood were extremely precious to their clan.
Even with her sister's current power, it took a great deal of effort to convince the clan elders to go to the ancestral planet.
However, it wasn't as if she hadn't made arrangements over the years.
Since Gu Changge wanted her to show her value, An Yan had to seize this drop of True Ancestor blood even at the risk of exposing her disguise all these years.
She then left the palace. Compared to before, there was now an inexplicable confidence about her.
This confidence came from the fact that she'd seized the opportunity in front of her.
As long as she could get Gu Changge's help, her current unfavorable situation would be reversed in an instant.
So many years of cautiousness, disguise, and hibernation would all vanish like smoke in thin air.
The great reclusive An Clan would also fall into her hands.
"I hope you can give me a surprise. The Daughter of Luck hasn't taken shape yet …"
In the palace, Gu Changge had a faint smile on her face. After seeing An Yan leave, she withdrew her gaze.
As for Niu Tian, even if An Yan hadn't mentioned it, he would have dealt with it.
Besides, he'd let Jiang Chen, the Son of Luck, raise for a long time. After the matter of the Ten Desolates Fields was settled, it was time to see how this leek was doing.
However, Xiao Ruoyin, the reincarnation of the High Priest of Fate who'd come from the lower world with Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others, was still recovering.
She still hadn't recovered her memory.
Gu Changge told Yan Ji to keep an eye on Xiao Ruoyin's changes. And Yan Ji would report Xiao Ruoyin's changes after a while.
This made Gu Changge wonder whether Xiao Ruoyin had been so badly injured that her holy soul had some problems.
Otherwise, as the High Priest of Fate, who controlled the Fairy Boat of Creation, could go against the flow of time, and wasn't affected by karma, why hadn't her memory recovered yet?
Or was it just merging or hiding, so Yan Ji hadn't found out?
This made Gu Changge think about it. He planned to investigate it after going back to the upper world.
"In a few months, the army of the upper world will attack Tianlu City."
"Aren't you going to do something?"
Then Gu Changge looked at a void behind him and said with a faint smile.
The Empyrean Deer Goddess's figure appeared. She was wearing a flawless white dress. Her body was slim and graceful. Her black hair was soft. Her face was cold and holy.
"What else can I do now? I only hope that when Tianlu City falls, Sir Gu will be merciful and not kill too many people. "
The Empyrean Deer Goddess's expression was emotionless. Her eyes were very calm.
She had chosen to be used by Gu Changge, which was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. She had already thought it through before this.
So, if Gu Changge didn't care about Tianlu City and her request, she couldn't do anything.
This was a huge gamble in and of itself.
During this time, she had done everything she could to make Gu Changge understand her sincerity.
She had participated in destroying the Nine Mountains and defeating the army of the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions. She had played a big role.
However, she was not very clear about what Gu Changge was thinking in her heart.
So, she could only bet that Gu Changge would be moved by her in the end.
"Actually, the method is very simple. You just need to show yourself and ask Tianlu City to surrender. I'm sure with your status, you'll be able to play a big role."
"Don't you want to kill less people in Tianlu City? This is more effective than any other method."
Gu Changge gently stroked her cheek with a faint smile on her face.
The Empyrean Deer Goddess pressed his hand and looked at him. She said softly, "Sir Gu, you know that Tianlu City isn't the only one in the Eight Desolates. If I show myself, I'm afraid they'll be angrier and hate me even more. I'm afraid this war will only end when one of us dies."
Now, Gu Changge no longer restricted her freedom.
If she wanted to, she could use this opportunity to return to Tianlu City.
But the Empyrean Deer Goddess didn't do that.
Because if she did, all her efforts would go to waste and she wouldn't be able to turn the situation around.
The Upper Realm was too strong. In this war, the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions had no chance.
The Empyrean Deer Goddess knew that Gu Changge also knew this, which was why he wasn't worried that she would escape.
"That's a pity. I can tell the people behind me to keep her alive. But I don't think the people from the other orthodoxies will listen to me. "
"There's nothing I can do."
Gu Changge sighed regretfully. His tone sounded regretful.
But the Empyrean Deer Goddess understood what Gu Changge meant. Her expression became complicated.
With Gu Changge's current power, he could command all the armies in the Upper Realm with one order.
How could the other orthodoxies not listen to him?
He obviously wanted to force her a little more by saying this.
"Sir Gu, is your heart made of stone?"
The Empyrean Deer Goddess lowered her eyes. Her voice was unusually calm at this moment.
4.9 She had thought that during this period of time, she and Gu Changge would become closer, and the two of them were just short of having sex.
But he was still as cold and emotionless as before. He hadn't changed at all.
"How can you say that?"
Gu Changge smiled. His expression didn't change at all. He gently pulled her into his arms and said, "I'm just thinking about your future. Unless you really want to live in the dark forever."
"Or you'll be exposed to the world sooner or later. When that time comes, who will you be?"
After all, the Empyrean Deer Goddess was the Protector of Sky Deer City. She was respected by millions of people.
If she appeared before they attacked Sky Deer City, it would be a huge blow to the Eight Wilds Ten Regions.
Moreover, the core of Sky Deer City's barrier was closely related to her.
Gu Changge had indeed given Lin Wu half a year's time. However, it was impossible for him to break through the enchantment of Sky Deer City on the first try.
This was equivalent to sending a signal to the people in Sky Deer City.
Even the Empyrean Deer Goddess had surrendered to the Upper Realm, let alone the other ancient beings.
There was no lack of people in this world who were afraid of death, and there was no lack of suspicious people.
"I got it."
The Empyrean Deer Goddess lowered her eyes. Her eyes were like a still lake. She leaned into Gu Changge's arms and didn't agree with his words.
She knew that Gu Changge had other plans.
But at this time, she had no choice but to compromise.
In the next few days, a huge event happened that shocked many orthodoxies in the Upper Realm.
The minds of the ancient existences went blank. They were stunned on the spot, unable to react in time.
The Protector of Sky Deer City, the Empyrean Deer Goddess, had appeared beside Gu Changge!
This news swept across like a hurricane, shocking everyone.
The commotion it caused was no different from a meteorite crashing into the deep sea.
Before this, only the members of the Longevity Gu Family knew about this matter. However, that was only limited to the higher-ups.
But today, the Empyrean Deer Goddess had appeared and accompanied Gu Changge. This shocked all the cultivators, both the younger generation and the ancient beings, and they couldn't believe it.
The Empyrean Deer Goddess had a high status in the Eight Wilds Ten Regions. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was extremely revered and noble.
Moreover, she was the Protector of Sky Deer City.
In the past, in front of Sky Deer City, she had fought against the Upper Realm and killed an Immemorial Royal Family cultivator. Her strength was terrifying.
Why would she appear beside Gu Changge?
What did this mean?
