The man who looked like a butler looked to be in his twenties. His facial features were handsome and he had an extraordinary bearing. Although he was wearing a butler's uniform, his expression was calm and composed. He had the demeanor of a recluse.
He walked over with a jade plate with many fruits and wine on it. It was obvious that he had received the orders of the Old City Lord.
"Lin En, put the things here first."
The Old City Lord said with a solemn expression and waved his hand to signal the butler to leave.
However, the man named Lin En did not move. Instead, he asked in surprise, "From outer space?"
His gaze landed on Gu Changge as he narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, he said respectfully, "City Lord, I can protect you and the young miss."
The Old City Lord nodded, but his expression did not change. He was filled with vigilance.
When Ah Qing mentioned Gu Changge's background, everyone in the hall was stunned. They could not believe their ears.
After regaining their senses, everyone's expressions changed drastically. They widened their eyes in shock and could not help but take a few steps back.
In their eyes, the Extraterrestrial Demons came from outer space. They had mysterious origins, terrifying strength, and endless numbers.
In the current Sword Profound Great World, the mere mention of the Otherworldly Demons would cause one's expression to change. No one would not feel fear.
The Gu Changge in front of them was also from outer space. How could this not shock them?
At that moment, the Old City Lord and Ah Qing's mother tensed up as they stared at Gu Changge with extreme vigilance.
"Grandfather, mother, don't be like this. Young Master Gu is a good person. He is completely different from what you think."
Ah Qing knew that things would turn out like this. Although she was helpless, she still explained again, telling them that Gu Changge was different from the group of Extraterrestrial Demons.
He had no ill intentions towards the Sword Profound World. Not only did he save her life, he also saved Princess Xuan Die.
"So that's how it is?"
The Old City Lord and Ah Qing's mother still looked skeptical, but they still heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Thinking about it carefully, if Gu Changge really had any ill intentions towards them, they would not be able to resist at all.
Furthermore, Princess Xuan Die was also here, so this matter should not be fake.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Gu. I've caused you to be misunderstood again."
Ah Qing said to Gu Changge apologetically.
Gu Changge's face was still as gentle as jade. He waved his hand slightly and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. It's just a small matter to me."
Ah Qing nodded in a low voice. Her mind was full of strange thoughts.
Regardless of whether it was when he saved her in the Upper Realm or returning to the Sword Profound Great World, he was misunderstood by everyone.
Gu Changge was always so gentle and refined, as if even if the sky fell down, his expression would not change in the slightest.
Although she was devoted to the Dao, obsessed with cultivating the sword, and determined to surpass her father, she was still a teenage girl after all.
During this period of time, some emotions that she shouldn't have kept growing in her heart. Fortunately, she hid them well and didn't reveal them.
To her, Gu Changge was not only her savior, but also a ray of light that pierced through the darkness of despair.
"My actions just now were too presumptuous. I hope Young Master Gu won't take offense."
After all, the Old City Lord was someone who had seen the world. After calming down, he cupped his hands and apologized to Gu Changge.
Gu Changge smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a special time now. Your reaction is normal."
Seeing that Gu Changge's attitude was easy-going and did not seem to be fake, the Old City Lord and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They were not as vigilant and uneasy as before.
"Grandfather, this is?"
At this time, Ah Qing noticed the young man dressed as a butler beside the Old City Lord and asked with some doubt.
In her impression, the butler of Gu Sang City was an old servant who was extremely old.
How could he become an unfamiliar young man?
"His name is Lin En. He is Uncle Lin's grandson. Some time ago, Uncle Lin passed away due to illness. Lin En came here with a token and planned to find a job in Gu Sang City. I saw that he was mature and steady, clever, and reliable. I let him take over Uncle Lin's affairs."
The Old City Lord explained. When he mentioned Lin En, his eyes were full of satisfaction.
"I see." Ah Qing nodded and retracted her gaze from Lin En.
"Greetings, Miss." Lin En had been standing beside the Old City Lord with a smile. At this moment, he opened his mouth and greeted Ah Qing.
He had a medium build and extremely handsome facial features. His expression was calm and steady, giving people a sense of trustworthiness.
"During this period of time, it's all thanks to Lin En. Otherwise, Gu Sang City would be in chaos. Some time ago, your father's enemies came here, and it was Lin En who helped to deal with them."
Ah Qing's mother said. She was very satisfied with this young butler.
"Mother, don't worry. After I come back, leave the matter of those enemies to me. If they dare to come here again, I will make sure that they will not be able to return." Ah Qing had a cold murderous look on her face.
"Butler?" Gu Changge's thoughtful gaze fell on the man named Lin En.
The original butler had just died of illness not long ago, and his grandson came here with a token?
This was too much of a coincidence.
Moreover, he felt an unusually familiar aura from this man.
The Son of Destiny!
Moreover, it was an extremely huge Son of Destiny.
In this Sword Profound World, there was also such an existence as the Son of Destiny. It was such a coincidence that he bumped into him here.
This made Gu Changge feel a little strange. If it was a coincidence, he actually did not believe it.
Previously, he felt that this Gu Sang City was not simple. Although it looked extremely desolate, it had a spiritual aura, and it had the scene of the origin of thousands of sects.
Thinking about it this way, the reason why this Son of Destiny came here was not as simple as it seemed.
In addition, with the identity of the City Lord's Mansion's butler, no matter what he did in this Gu Sang City, it would be easy and would not arouse the slightest suspicion.
"And I always feel that this is not his real body, but more like an incarnation …"
"Ah Qing's father's enemies were probably dealt with by him."
Gu Changge thought of this and could not help but laugh. However, he did not choose to act rashly and alert the enemy. He actually wanted to know what this Son of Destiny wanted to do.
If it was just an incarnation, then where was his real body?
Because of Ah Qing's return, the entire Gu Sang City became lively.
The City Lord's Mansion held a big banquet, and at the critical juncture of the war, it finally diluted the haze that shrouded everyone's hearts a little.
However, the origin of Gu Changge was only circulated in the City Lord's Mansion, and was not spread outside to avoid causing an unnecessary sensation.
At the banquet, they learned in detail about Ah Qing's tragic experience during this period of time, and even almost being shot to death as a captive.
The Old City Lord and the others felt a burst of fear, and the last trace of doubt in their hearts towards Gu Changge was also dispelled.
If there was no Gu Changge, Ah Qing would have been buried in the Outer World, and how could he return safely?
No matter what, Gu Changge was their great benefactor.
"It turns out that the Outer World is such a vast world, the place where the heavens meet …"
At the banquet, the young butler, Lin En, silently ordered many maids to serve various delicacies.
He had been listening to the conversation from Gu Changge's side, and his expression was quite moved.
At the very beginning, he thought that the Land Sword Celestial Realm in the Sword Mystery World was the peak of this world.
It was not until later when he learned that there was another world beyond the heavens that he realized it.
It turned out that the Land Sword Celestial Realm was just another starting point, and there was a wider world waiting for him there.
"The world is vast, and the realm is endless. What kind of world is above the Land Sword Celestial Realm?"
Lin En could not help but be fascinated.
He felt that he had reached the limit that this world could bear, and had reached the point where he could break through the void, but it was still difficult to take that last step.
Perhaps only by transcending this world and going to the so-called place where the heavens meet, could he break through the final shackles.
"Legend has it that this Gu Sang City was the place where a peerless Celestial Sword Celestial lived in seclusion 800,000 years ago, and he was the only one who had successfully broken through the void."
"It's a pity that I have searched here for half a year, but I still can't find the notes he left behind …"
After the banquet was over, Lin En walked in the courtyard, and his gaze gradually deepened. A temperament that was completely different from before emerged from him.
Gu Sang City had been tainted with the aura of that peerless Celestial Sword Celestial for 800,000 years.
Even though so much time had passed, it was still extraordinary, and there were inexplicable aura imprints in many areas that could help people comprehend and cultivate.
However, what he cared about was not the comprehension of that peerless Celestial Sword Celestial, but the cultivation method left behind by that peerless Celestial Sword Celestial.
Since the day he was born, he had a terrifying cultivation talent that was beyond ordinary people.
For the same cultivation method, the first time he cultivated it, the speed was one.
Then, the following speed would become two, four, eight … showing a terrifying exponential increase in speed.
This also led to a result that any cultivation method in his hands could quickly reach the realm of perfection.
In a short period of time, his cultivation had reached a terrifying level that was difficult for his peers to reach.
But the next problem he faced was that he could not find a cultivation method to break through to a higher realm.
Even the major sects in the Sword Mystery World today, such as Shu Sect, Kongshan, Sword Cliff … could not find a suitable cultivation method for him.
In the end, it was by chance that he saw records about Gu Sang City in an ancient book, so he came to try his luck, trying to find the inheritance left behind by the peerless Celestial Sword Celestial 800,000 years ago.
"If I can't find it in the last few days, then I can only return to Shu Sect."
"Senior Brother suddenly used the Sword Celestial Token to summon all the Sword Celestials in the world, what is the reason?"
Lin En's figure gradually faded and disappeared from the courtyard, and once again began to search in Gu Sang City.
He was originally a disciple of Shu Sect, but because his master's seniority was higher, his status in Shu Sect was very high, and he was respectfully called the Young Ancestor.
But in terms of his real age, he was only in his twenties.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Changge temporarily stayed in a courtyard with an extremely quiet environment.
There was a small bridge over flowing water, and there was a clear spring with flowing flowers, tinkling, and extremely elegant.
Next door, he could hear the zither music played by Princess Xuan Die. It was clear and moving, like hundreds of birds. It was quite leisurely.
"Looks like that guy is looking for something."
Gu Changge's Divine Sense swept out, enveloping almost the entire Gu Sang City, so he quickly found the traces of the young butler, Lin En.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and wandered around the city, as if he was looking for something.
This made Gu Changge a little interested.
But suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and looked at a certain area in Gu Sang City.
That place was originally a lush ancient forest, with a large number of ancient mulberry trees and ancient scholar trees, but most of them had withered and died.
The old trees were withered, and many of their trunks had become hollow holes, but they were tenaciously alive, like dragons lying there.
From those tree trunks, there was now a strange phenomenon manifesting.
Between heaven and earth, strands of purple gas rose, and there were even phantoms appearing, with tens of thousands of sword qi intertwining and blooming.
It was as if a Supreme Sword Immortal had once practiced his sword here, and the heaven and earth had branded his Daoist aura. After many years, it had tainted this land.
"That's great. I finally found it. "Lin En's figure appeared in this ancient mulberry forest, and there was a rare look of excitement on his face.
Even after hundreds of thousands of years, he could still feel the Supreme Sword Qi branded here. Even if it was only a remnant, he could see the power of the original owner.
He was worthy of the title of Supreme Sword Immortal!
"If I were to comprehend here, I might be able to feel the inheritance of that Sword Immortal."
At that moment, Lin En did not hesitate and casually formed several sword seals to prevent anyone from disturbing him. Then, he went to the depths of the ancient mulberry forest and began to sit cross-legged.
Gu Changge's Divine Sense had been watching this scene. When he saw the excitement on Lin En's face, his eyes suddenly became a little playful.
"Since you want the inheritance, I'll give it to you."
He smiled, and then used his vast Divine Sense to perform an ancient language.
To be precise, this was not any language, but just a kind of Divine Sense. It seemed to have passed through the ages and spread for hundreds of millions of years, as if it had passed through a star field universe and reappeared in the world.
"What?"
Lin En's Divine Sense was very powerful, but under the aftermath of this Dao sound, his face was extremely pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth, almost collapsing.
