In Xiao Ruoyin's opinion, the main reason why this young Divine Origin Master was so unhappy was that Gu Changge was about the same age as him.
She had asked a proud Divine Origin Master to work for a guy about the same age as him.
Anyone else would have been pissed off. They would have thought they were being looked down upon.
However, Xiao Ruoyin thought as long as she explained it to him, he would understand.
In the current Upper Realms, who didn't want to ride on Gu Changge's coattails and work for him?
Xiao Ruoyin's persuasion made Jiang Chen look angrier and angrier. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked.
He really didn't expect to see the goddess of the past, to explain so earnestly in front of her, to let him serve his great enemy.
Jiang Chen was very angry. He was even a little disappointed. He even mocked himself.
However, Jiang Chen soon calmed down.
At this moment, he couldn't blame Xiao Ruoyin.
Because he knew Xiao Ruoyin didn't know Gu Changge's true colors at all.
She had no idea why Gu Changge had ordered them to be killed.
"Miss, you don't have to explain it. I know you are being kind."
"But I'm used to being idle. I don't like to work for others."
Jiang Chen shook his head and refused her tactfully.
Xiao Ruoyin was struck dumb. She said, "Do you know whose solicitation you just refused?"
She couldn't believe Jiang Chen wasn't interested in Gu Changge's solicitation at all.
He even refused decisively. He didn't even think about it.
"To be honest, miss, I have a lot of conflicts with that Young Master Gu you just mentioned."
"So, it's useless to persuade me," Jiang Chen said calmly.
Xiao Ruoyin didn't expect Jiang Chen to say that. She couldn't believe it.
As to the conflicts between him and Gu Changge, she didn't think too much about it. She only thought it was an excuse Jiang Chen had made to refuse.
"If that's the case, then forget it." Xiao Ruoyin sighed in her heart. She had thought that it was a done deal, but she had failed.
She did not know how to explain this to Gu Changge when she returned.
After all, she had promised Gu Changge that she would help him.
Seeing Xiao Ruoyin about to turn around and leave, Jiang Chen's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Miss, please wait. I actually have something to tell you in private."
"If you don't mind, I'll just take up a little more of your time."
Xiao Ruoyin frowned slightly, but she wasn't worried about Jiang Chen's evil intentions.
So, after thinking for a while, she asked her sibling disciples to leave first and wait for her outside. Then she said to Jiang Chen, "What do you want to tell me? Let's do it here."
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face once again. Then he took a deep breath. Then a layer of misty clear light brushed his face.
Then, the sound of bones dislocating rang out from all over his body. His entire body began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, he had a completely different appearance.
"You … you are Jiang Chen?"
Xiao Ruoyin was surprised. She didn't understand why he had done this.
But when she saw the face in front of her clearly, she was shocked.
His entire body was shocked, extremely stunned and in disbelief.
Wasn't this handsome and familiar face one of her old friends, Jiang Chen?
"Jiang Chen, how did you become like that?"
Xiao Ruoyin asked in surprise. She looked delighted.
Jiang Chen and the others were her rare friends in this world.
She was very happy to run into Jiang Chen in Kun Wu City.
Jiang Chen said with a complicated expression, "It's going to take a long time to explain."
"Take your time. You can take your time. I have plenty of time. I was wondering why I found you familiar. "
Xiao Ruoyin said with a smile.
She immediately figured out why Jiang Chen had offered to give her the Blood King Ginseng in the stone gambling den.
"By the way, how did you become a Divine Origin Master? Did you have another chance? I remember you didn't show any talent for practicing. Young Master Gu said he had helped them settle down. I was relieved. "
"But why didn't you want to work for Young Master Gu? You even said you had conflicts. "
Before Jiang Chen could answer, she recalled something else. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
The status of a Divine Origin Master was extremely respected in the current Upper World.
There were only a few famous Divine Origin Masters in all of the ancient eras.
At the thought of this, Xiao Ruoyin felt happy for Jiang Chen from the bottom of her heart.
"I'll explain it to you later, including everything that happened after we parted ways."
Hatred flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. Then he said calmly.
It was a long story, but for Jiang Chen, it was like yesterday. Many things were still vivid in his mind.
Xiao Ruoyin nodded. She was curious.
She felt Jiang Chen had changed a lot compared to before. He looked gloomy.
"Gu Changge lied to you at that time. He was up to no good from the moment he released us from prison."
"He tampered with the talent testing steles. That's why, except for you, none of us could show any talent."
"In this way, he can logically drive us away and give you peace of mind."
"Gu Changge is only wearing a mask of hypocrisy … The real him is crueler and colder than anyone else …"
Jiang Chen spoke slowly, neither too fast nor too slow. He told her all the things that had happened recently.
He told her everything, including how they had been killed by Gu Changge's subordinates after they had parted ways with Xiao Ruoyin. He told her everything that had happened in the Great Void Divine Tomb.
"What …"
"How is that possible …"
Xiao Ruoyin was struck dumb at first. Then her body shook. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She felt her head buzzing.
She had been practicing in the Palace of Heavenly Dao Immortal. She had heard a lot about Gu Changge from her sibling disciples and elders.
That was why her impression of Gu Changge had always been that he was as gentle as jade. He was an elegant young man, pure and untainted, like a banished immortal.
Her conversations and interactions with Gu Changge were very normal and harmonious.
However, when she heard Jiang Chen's words, she was petrified. Her face turned slightly pale.
If what Jiang Chen had said was true, how dreadful was Gu Changge?
What he had shown her was only the tip of the iceberg. How could he say it was just a disguise?
Xiao Ruoyin couldn't help but shudder slightly. She realized that she seemed to have thought too simply of Gu Changge.
"Is what you said true?"
Xiao Ruoyin asked in a trembling voice. She was trying to calm herself down.
She didn't think Jiang Chen would lie to her at this moment.
"It's true. We've known each other for so many years. Do you think I'll lie to you?"
Jiang Chen said, shaking his head. "Our old classmates, including Niu Tian and the others, are still alive. But I don't think they were as lucky as me. They might have turned into a pile of bones long ago."
She begged for fresh flowers.
Xiao Ruoyin turned pale. She shivered. She almost fell.
She suddenly recalled Gu Changge's gentleness the previous night. He was as gentle as jade, handsome and elegant. He was so perfect that no one could find any flaw in him.
If Jiang Chen hadn't told her in person, she wouldn't have believed Gu Changge was so good at hiding.
"So, Ruoyin, you'll leave Kunwu City with me. We'll find a remote place to practice. We'll go to Gu Changge to avenge Niu Tian and the others when we've made some achievements.
"You should know that Gu Changge wouldn't be so nice to you for no reason. He must be up to something."
Jiang Chen turned serious.
He didn't tell Xiao Ruoyin directly that she was the reincarnation of the Great Priestess of Fate.
But he knew Gu Changge's treatment of Xiao Ruoyin had to have something to do with her reincarnation.
At such a critical moment, he certainly wouldn't let Xiao Ruoyin get into trouble.
"Jiang Chen, I can't leave with you. I'm a disciple of the Palace of Heavenly Immortals now."
"I think … although what you said is true, Young Master Gu must have some difficulties or reasons."
..... ... ...
Xiao Ruoyin kept silent. Then she shook her head firmly and refused.
She knew once she left Kunwu City with Jiang Chen, her enemy would be Gu Changge.
At the thought of this, she felt a chill down her spine. She couldn't help but feel scared.
And she didn't want to give up everything she had.
If she left Kunwu City with Jiang Chen, what would happen to her master, her school, and her future?
As long as she pretended she didn't know anything about this and stayed as Gu Changge's woman, she would still enjoy a respected status. She wouldn't lack practicing methods or resources …
How could she give up such a life?
"What …?"
Jiang Chen was looking forward to it. He had thought Xiao Ruoyin would understand Gu Changge's evil intentions after he told her these things and leave with him.
But he never expected that Xiao Ruoyin would reject him so straightforwardly.
She even said Gu Changge had some difficulties.
He was shocked. He even went blank. He couldn't believe it.
"Ruoyin, are you serious? You know Gu Changge doesn't have good intentions toward you. Why don't you leave?"
"Do you have the heart to see Niu Tian and the others die with grievances? Gu Changge is their biggest enemy. "Jiang Chen turned pale. He sounded shocked and regretful.
He felt Xiao Ruoyin had changed. She was no longer the Xiao Ruoyin he had known.
She didn't do anything after learning about Niu Tian and the others' deaths. She didn't plan to avenge them at all.
How good had Gu Changge been to her? Why did she do this?
"I know what you're saying, but you need to give me some time. I think Young Master Gu has some difficulties. He's not that kind of person in my impression."
Xiao Ruoyin said, shaking her head. She sounded more and more determined.
She was saying this for Jiang Chen's benefit, but she was also lying to herself.
And she knew very well that if she hadn't said this, Jiang Chen would have taken her away by force.
"You …"
Jiang Chen was full of regret and disbelief. He felt his heart ache.
In his opinion, Xiao Ruoyin was stubborn. She wouldn't give up until she saw the coffin.
What on earth was so good about Gu Changge that she would do this for him?
This made him very angry. He felt that her illness was beyond cure and that there was no way to save her. Ordinary.
