Translator: Linzi Proofreader: Silavin Everyone around the Peach Village was stunned when they saw this scene. Even her Masters’ eyes were widened in disbelief. They were all staring, dumbfounded. They dared not believe that the scene before them was real. “This…” Peach Village’s head rubbed his temple helplessly. The rest also looked helpless. Gu Xianer, she would choose to dig out her own Celestial Bone to help him. This surprised them a little, but they could not say anything more. After all, it was the two of them’s private affair. Them, as Masters, the most they could do was to ensure Gu Changge did not bully Gu Xianer. If Gu Xianer wanted to do this… It was difficult for them to stop her. However, they were a little surprised that Gu Changge would stop her and say something like that. Then, it made them feel shy and blushed bashfully. But on second thought, as an older brother, there seemed to be nothing wrong with how Gu Changge was talking to his sister. After saying that, Gu Changge let go of her. He stared at her with his deep and bottomless eyes and said nothing else, looking extremely calm. “Gu- Gu Changge, what nonsense are you sprouting?” When she could comprehend what he meant, Gu Xianer’s face suddenly turned red, so red that it was worrying. She was flustered, her heart beating fast and her voice trembling. She couldn’t even finish her words. She had never thought that the cold and indifferent Gu Changge would suddenly say such gentle words. [He would rather die than see me get hurt like this? Argh! So cringy. And in front of everyone in Peach Village!] This made her head buzz for a long time, as if she had been hit by a bell. Her hands and feet were weak as if she had no strength. If it was any other time, she would definitely rebulk him. But today, he looked like he was genuinely worried about her. This made her speechless. It was totally outside of her expectations, that he suddenly revealed his true feelings. Looks like she wouldn’t be able to dig out the Celestial Bone today. “What nonsense am I sporting? I’m not saying anything nonsensical at all. I’m just telling the truth.” Gu Changge shook his head and regained his composure. “As your older brother, I won’t fall to the point of asking you to dig out your Celestial Bone to save me. For me, it’s better to die directly than to be humiliated like this.” “The grudge between us has long been settled. You don’t owe me anything, and I don’t owe you anything. I don’t need you to repay me.” His voice was as calm as before. If he didn’t make it clear now, Gu Xianer, an idiot of the highest caliber, might think about digging out her bone again. Although she did have the experience of Nirvana, it was hard to say whether she would be able to retain her life after digging out her Celestial Bone. Let alone grow a third bone. He didn’t want her to take such a risk for no reason. After all, what was the use of digging out the Celestial Bone? His Demonic Nature had already been settled. Naturally, this was something that he could not tell her. “How stubborn!” “You didn’t say that just now…” Hearing this, Xianer got angry and stared at him with her clear eyes. She still remembered what he said just now. He was obviously worried about her safety and didn’t want to see her get hurt. “Did I not say that just now?” Said Gu Changge calmly. “Why are you so stubborn? Can’t you admit that you care about me?” Gu Xianer snorted. She seemed to have to see through what was on his mind. But in Gu Changge’s eyes, that expression meant that she deserved a beating. [It really seems like I can’t spoil her too much.] “Senior Tao Yao has already told me how to deal with your Demonic Nature. So, I don’t need you to cause me trouble,” Gu Changge added. “What do you mean by causing you trouble?” Hearing this, Xianer’s face was full of displeasure. Gu Changge shook his head and said nothing more. “Senior, since you‘ve already told me the solution, why did you tell this idiot about it this way?” Then, he turned around to look at Tao Yao, and asked with seemingly hidden meaning behind his words. Although Tao Yao usually looked gentle and peaceful, in reality, it felt like she was enjoying and didn’t mind watching the fun, with no care if the situation worsened. [She is truly a demonic monster.] “Are you blaming me? After all, it was Xianer who asked me. Since I said so, it must mean that I am confident about it…” The words came from the peach tree. Her voice was as calm as water, no telling whether she was happy or angry. [Back then, Gu Xianer was able to enter Nirvana and create the Celestial Bone thanks to my help. Naturally I dared to tell her this. After all, I can ensure her life will not be in any danger.] “I begged Sister Tao Yao to tell me. Don’t blame her, Gu Changge.” Hearing his reproachful tone, Gu Xianer replied in a hurry and was a little anxious. She was afraid that he would hate Sister Tao Yao because of this. She knew what kind of person he was, and knew he would hold grudges. Although he was not as strong as Sister Tao Yao, if he really wanted to deal with someone, with his background and power, it was still very frightening. However, the reason why he blamed Sister Tao Yao so much was that he was worried about her. This made her a little happy. Hearing what Xianer said, Gu Changge also didn’t say anything more. While Tao Yao said no other words and the place returned to silence. Wisps of divine light fell down to clean up the Dao wounds on Yao Yao, who was sleeping quietly under the peach tree. This scene made several old men sigh with emotion. Over the next few days, Gu Changge temporarily lived in the Peach Village with Gu Xianer. It had to be said that although it was in the depths of the Land of Immortal Abandonment, the scenery here was very beautiful, like paradise. The sun was shining, and the golden clouds were glistening. The spiritual energy was dense. As the branches of peach trees stretched, they were tinged with a layer of brilliant radiance. There were also many spiritual and prosperous beasts nearby, and large vicious beasts did not dare to approach. Although most villagers here didn’t cultivate, their strength and vitality were far beyond many cultivators’. In Gu Changge’s opinion, it had something to do with the fact that Tao Yao often treating their bodies for them. As the Protector God of the Peach Village, she was good to these villagers. Maybe as she said, it was boring to live for too long and she needed to find something to do. During this period of time, he had become more familiar with Gu Xianer’s Masters. After careful investigation, he knew a lot about their backgrounds and origins. Just as he speculated, with two sets of story cliche templates on Gu Xianer’s shoulders, none of her Masters was easy to deal with. All of them had astonishing backgrounds. They had once made a name in the outside world and came here for various unknown reasons. In Gu Changge’s opinion, their real cultivation level had probably surpassed the Sacred Emperor Realm, they might even be in the fabled Nirvana Realm. It was well known that only when a cultivator reached the peak of the Ninth Stage of the Sacred King Realm, they could breakthrough to the Sacred Emperor Realm. Between the Sacred Emperor Realm and the Nirvana Realm, there was a realm called Quasi-Nirvana Realm. However, the Quasi-Nirvana Realm was not an actual realm. It was a term coined by cultivators who had exceeded the Sacred Emperor Realm but had not reached the Nirvana Realm. Not long ago, there was a huge powerful black blade which struck the Ancient Sea Palace. It was actually caused by one of Gu Xianer’s Masters. Because of some personal reasons, that Master of hers temporarily left Peach Village and went to the outside world. When he found out that Gu Xianer had been bullied those from the Ancient Sea Palace, he immediately slashed at them with his blade. It even managed to hurt the Sea King. Furthermore, at that time, an Ancestor from the Gu Family was also there, which forced the Ancient Sea Palace to seal itself for hundreds of thousands of years. Although Peach Village here was small, its might was even more astonishing than some of the Immortal Families. In fact, with such a terrifying background, it was unbelievable that some of the Immortal Families would want to provoke Gu Xianer. From her Masters, Gu Changge had received a lot of good things. While they were talking, some of their opinions about Gu Changge were full of amazement. They felt that the rumor about his Talent and title of being the Avatar of the True Immortal, was not underserved. He truly deserved to be called the number one among the younger generation. He was indeed Gu Xianer’s cousin. The one who would take charge of many different factions and the Immortal Gu Family in the future. As long as the problem of his Innate Demonic Nature was solved, the Upper Realm would basically fall under his control. Knowing that, her Masters were happy to teach him some wonderful skills, and of course, he would not refuse. After all, this was the result of all his effort, to make sure that they saw him in a good light. At the beginning, they were very rude to him and held no good impression of him. But now, they were more polite, which helped him gain a lot of Fortuity. [This is because of how I chose to deal with Gu Xianer, as a Fortuitous Lady.] Of course, Gu Xianer didn’t know what was on his mind. Seeing that he and her Masters were mingling so well, she could not help but feel a little relieved. She was worried that her Masters still couldn’t get along with him. On the other hand, she hoped that this period of time could last longer. After all, it was rare to see this other side of him. That he could get along well with a group of children in the village. In the past, he always gave people a feeling of superiority, indifference and that he was overlooking everything, and rarely had such a passionate human-like friendliness. A few days passed quickly. Gu Changge appeared outside the Peach Village. A group of villagers, including Gu Xianer’s Masters, all came to see them off. Many children were even reluctant for them to leave. Because in the past few days, Gu Changge had taught them a lot, and also given them a lot of things, including scriptures about cultivation, which made many children feel that this big brother who was like an Immortal was a very good man. After all, those who were good to their children were not bad people. This was basically a consensus, and also the reason why he could quickly gain the trust of the villagers. This time, Gu Changge spoke, “I will take my leave now. Seniors, I’ll come back and talk to you all again if I have time.” With a gentle smile on his face, he said goodbye to everyone and was about to leave the Peach Village. After all, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to solve. He couldn’t stay here all the time. Gu Xianer didn’t intend to leave. Because of Yao Yao, she planned to cultivate in the Peach Village for a period of time, and also several Masters could take the opportunity to guide her. Although she was not weak, she was still much weaker than the many ancient montrocities that had appeared. From the words of these older ones, Gu Changge also knew that they were going to give Gu Xianer a little help. The next time he saw her, her strength should increase by a lot. As for Yao Yao, no one knew how long it would take for her to wake up. From the words of Tao Yao, although she was a Dao Fruit, she had also been seriously injured by that heavenly tribulation. After all, it was a Dao injury and would have a great impact on her. It would take some time to sort it out and heal from it. Of course, Gu Changge had nothing to say about it. “Changge, don’t forget to come here next time. We aunties like you very much.” “Why won’t you stay here for a few more days? Look at the reluctant look on Xianer’s face. You are so cruel…” This time, seeing that he was about to leave, several middle-aged women began to tease him, which made the originally depressed Xianer suddenly blush. “I’ll be here again in the future,” said Gu Changge with a smile. “Look at Xianer’s unwilling expression. How about staying here for a few more days?” An auntie asked again with a smile, as if it was not a big deal. [Who is the one who’s unwilling? Auntie, don’t talk nonsense. I wish this stubborn person could disappear from my sight as soon as possible…] Hearing these words, Xianer quickly denied, as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand something. “Oh please, my ears can finally enjoy some silence and I can finally hear myself. I don’t want to hear a fly buzzing around my ear all the time.” Gu Changge glanced at her and said calmly. “Gu Changge, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that you are annoyed with me because I’m by your ear? Then, from now on, make sure you keep an eye out for me and stay far far away from me…” Gu Xianer snorted. She didn’t expect that before he left, he would make her angry. But he couldn’t hear her words at this point. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a divine rainbow and soared into the sky, leaving Peach Village without any pauses. Gu Xianer was a little mad, she waved her fists in the air. “Damn it! That guy doesn’t listen to me.” But soon, she looked a little depressed and her expression showed her reluctance for him to leave. “Xianer, don’t tell me… Are you really interested in your cousin? Really?” “You are cousins…” Seeing the expression on her face, the aunties began to make fun of her again. “Don’t talk nonsense, okay? And what’s wrong with being cousins? He’s not my blood-related brother anyways.” But as soon as she said this, she felt something was off. She quickly changed the topic. “The weather is good today. Although the sun is a bit too much…” “Who would have thought that this would happen now! People are really just victims of fate!” This scene made her several Masters laugh uncontrollably. Then they sighed, filled with emotions. …… After leaving the Peach Village, on the top of a mountain outside Land of Immortal Abandonment, Gu Changge appeared. “Master.” Several figures appeared in front of him. They all had powerful auras and looked very respectful. The leader was a creature in the shape of a Yaksha, whose cultivation level was at the True Enlightened Realm. Among the rest of the group, there were both men and women; and there were also humans and people of other races. They were all followers of Gu Changge, and they were famous young prodigies at other places. After the last Celestial Ancient Continent incident, many young prodigies went to seek out Gu Changge, and have decided to follow him. He accepted them without hesitation. After all, there were hands that could do a lot of things for him. For example, this time, he had asked them to pay attention and take note of matters related to the Eternal Overcast. Thus, they had already received Gu Changge’s order, and were waiting for him here.
