“Gu Changge…” At that moment, Ying Yu was the first to speak. It was the first time she had seen him in person. He was much more terrifying than the rumours. Just the large group of followers behind him was enough to prove everything.

 

Not to mention, Gu Changge’s cultivation level, even if she was in the Quasi-Sacred Realm, she couldn’t see through his cultivation level, as if looking through a layer of fog.

 

This reminded Ying Yu of the rumour that Gu Changge had fought against someone in the Sacred Lord Realm in the Celestial Ancient Continent.

 

This man was far more incomprehensible than she had imagined.

 

This made her more cautious. She had planned to ask about the humiliation she had suffered in front of the Immortal Gu Family’s entrance that day. However, right now, she had already forgotten about it.

 

“Well, what advice does Lady Ying Yu have for me?” Only when hearing Ying Yu calling his name, did Gu Changge seem to notice her and asked in surprise. When he had Ying Shuang investigated, he had already come to know about his sister, Ying Yu.

 

He didn’t expect that she would come to him as soon as he arrived at Southern Flourishing Heaven. This made even Gu Changge a little surprised. It had been a long time since this feeling of an offering came to his door in person.

 

“Gu Changge, don’t you think it’s too arbitrary to say that my brother is the Successor of Demonic Arts?” This time, Ying Yu was also very direct, staring at him with her silver eyes. She went straight to the point and asked him in front of everyone.

 

Gu Changge was a little surprised, “Did I say that? Perhaps Miss Ying Yu had mistaken me for someone else?”

 

He was telling the truth. He had indeed not spoken such words. He really had never said such a thing. Likewise, he had never brought up Ying Shuang before. Back then, inside the Immortal Gu Family, Gu Changge was only echoing Wang Zijin’s, the Successor of Mortal Palace’s, thoughts when the blame was pinned onto Ying Shuang.

 

Even if Ying Yu wanted to find someone to settle accounts with, she should go to find Wang Zijin instead. It had nothing to do with him.

 

“You…” The expression on Ying Yu’s face changed. At this time, she realised that there was something wrong with this sentence. [It’s true that he had never said it himself. But at that time, everyone thought that someone was setting up and framing Sky Emperor Mountain. Gu Changge and Wang Zijin were only voicing their opposite opinions, and they were the only ones speaking. They suspected it to be a trick that Sky Emperor Mountain used to deliberately mislead the public, which in turn made everyone ignore and neglect properly investigating the matter first. At that time, everyone first thought was that Sky Emperor Mountain had been framed. In that case, when they investigated for the Successor of Demonic Arts, they would definitely skip over the Sky Emperor Mountain as they would think that they were also victims.]

 

[But what he is saying right now is more despicable than directly saying that the Sky Emperor Mountain is related to the Successor of Demonic Arts. It has basically given us no clear way to get rid of everyone’s suspicion.].

 

“Gu Changge, I know what you clearly mean at that time. Now, you still want to defend yourself? My brother has no enmity with you. Why did you frame him?” Ying Yu still did not give up. After all, it was not easy for her to meet Gu Changge. She couldn’t and wouldn’t give up so easily.

 

At this moment, she hoped that her brother would come here with her and confront Gu Changge. However, Ying Shuang had never left his mansion after he came to Southern Flourishing Heaven, saying that he was waiting for the news about the Eternal Overcast Battlefield. This made Ying Yu helpless, she couldn’t do anything against him.

 

“Why would I defend myself? I haven’t made a direct conclusion about who is the Successor of Demonic Arts. Does Miss Ying Yu think that matters related to the Successor of Demonic Arts is child’s play? That you can cover the coffin as you like?”

 

“And just as you said, I have no enmity with Prince Ying. So, let me ask you this, why would I frame him then? I merely agreed with Saintess Zijin then, that it was just a possibility. Even if you want to blame me, you have to blame Saintess Zijin, as well right? Or, did you come to create trouble for me because you think I’m more gentle and easy to deal with?”

 

The faint smile that was originally on his face disappeared as he spoke. His expression was one of complete indifference.

 

“I… I had no such thoughts. Gu Changge, you are thinking too much.” Ying Yu gritted her teeth as her Soul trembled. She felt his frightening aura and felt as though she was suffocating under it. She was fine when she spoke to him at first. But, after his expression changed, she could feel the start feeling her heart being squeezed..

 

What Gu Changge said made the expression on the faces of the cultivators in the pavilion or those who were paying close attention to this place, change greatly. After all, the matter of the Successor of Demonic Arts was of great importance. Now, in everyone’s eyes, what Ying Yu had just done was just creating a scene, creating trouble out of nothing.

 

As for Gu Changge and the Successor of Mortal Palace, they indeed didn’t say that Prince Ying was the Successor of Demonic Arts. They had just brought up their own thoughts at that time. Many cultivators only came to their own conclusion after their discussion. No one was stupid enough to risk their lives over nothing, after all. It was just that the Mortal Palace had fought against the Successor of Demonic Arts for many years. Thus, Wang Zijin’s words alone had convinced many.

 

Furthermore, some time ago, another Successor of Mortal Palace had also concluded that Sky Emperor Mountain was suspicious. All these pointed out that Sky Emperor Mountain was most likely related to the Successor of Demonic Arts. Yet, Ying Yu was going about, trying to whitewash everything?

 

There were many powerful people in the ancient city of Southern Flourishing Heaven. Even if Ying Yu was the Sky Emperor Ying’s daughter, she didn’t dare to anger everyone.

 

“In my opinion, she is obviously the one who can’t find a solution to this matter. That’s why she came to Young Master Changge. Look, she’s already anxious.”

 

“When her brother’s identity as the Successor of Demonic Arts is exposed one day, I would like to see her expression that day…”

 

“I think she is helping cover up for the Successor of Demonic Arts. She plans on becoming the world’s enemy.”

 

“How about we kill her? Otherwise, she will be a scourge in the future.”

 

At that moment, the cultivators around them talked with cold and murderous intent, which also reached Ying Yu’s ears, making her face turn pale. Hearing what Gu Changge said, what she did just now would obviously cause public anger.

 

“Well, it seems that Lady Ying Yu is also a simple and straightforward woman. As for what happened today, I won’t bring it up anymore. I know you will be able to sort things out.” Gu Changge sighed helplessly and waved his hand. Seeing this, the followers behind him immediately understood what he meant and began to drive away the surrounding cultivators.

 

Since Gu Changge himself said so. Those around him got the hint. He didn’t want to pursue this matter further. Thus, they did not dare to refuse him. The crowd dispersed and they didn’t dare to stay and watch the fun.

 

The man in black and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Somehow, they was grateful to Gu Changge.

 

They also knew that if public’s anger erupted, with their strength, they would not be able to stop so many cultivators. And today, they would either die or be injured. They were just unlucky to have been caught up in being tied to the Successor of Demonic Arts.

 

Soon, there were only Wang Wushuang, Ye Langtian, Chi Ling and other young prodigies left in the pavilion, as well as the pale faced Ying Yu and her people.

 

Gu Changge’s sudden rescue surprised and confused her.

 

Normally, if she was so aggressive and straightforward, he should be angry and attack her. But instead, he made a move to help her?

 

“Since you are here, why don’t you sit down and have a drink?” At this time, Gu Changge took his seat with a calm and natural expression on his face, and then greeted the stunned Ying Yu.

 

“Mistress…”

 

“Mistress, this is an invitation from Young Master Changge, please don’t be so stubborn. And do apologise to him for disrespecting him.” The man in black next to Ying Yu said in a low voice and looked at Gu Changge flatteringly. Although his father asked him to follow Prince Ying, he was not stupid. He knew that in this situation, it was difficult to protect himself, let alone others.

 

Before the ties of Sky Emperor Mountain and the Successor of Demonic Arts have been cleared up, Ying Shuang would continue to be targeted. Unable to protect himself, let lone others. Thus, Ah Gu might as well take the opportunity to show his goodwill towards Gu Changge. After all, no matter in terms of identity or strength, Gu Changge far exceeded Ying Shuang.

 

This scene shocked the young prodigies, who had been injured by this man. They couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. [When can we become someone like Gu Changge? He did nothing, and just by relying on his words and aura alone, he could intimidate someone like that.].

 

“Thank you for your help, Gu Changge.” Ying Yu was not an ungrateful person. She knew what was the priority. Thus, she accepted his offer and sat down gracefully.

 

Everyone was sensible and gave the seat beside Gu Changge to her.

 

She hesitated and sat down. It would be impolite if she sat too far away from him.

 

Meanwhile, it seems that Gu Changge didn’t care about these at all. He drank alone and talked with Wang Wushuang and others.

 

After Ying Yu sat down, he began to ignore her.

 

Gradually, Ying Yu, who was by the side, felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She felt uncomfortable and awkward, which reminded her of the scene when she had been waiting at the entrance of the Immortal Gu Family.

 

She had thought that he was up to something when he helped her out. But now, it seemed that it was just out of convenience. She had really thought too much. Otherwise, why did he ignore her after she sat down?

 

For a moment, she couldn’t comprehend his actions. He didn’t seem to be hostile to her and her brother.

 

Then, the man in black behind Ying Yu kept glancing at her meaningfully, indicating to her to propose a toast. After all, she was sitting there like a wooden stump, doing nothing. She not only looked silly but also looked like an idiot.

 

Ying Yu suddenly realised. [Since when did I become so stupid?]

 

“Gu Changge, I’d like to propose a toast to you for saving me just now.”

 

However, it was obviously her first time proposing a toast. She looked awkward and her words were stiff. Hearing this, Gu Changge turned his head and looked at her with interest, but not surprised. After all, he had expected all this.

 

“You don’t have to offer a toast because of that.”

 

Then he waved his hand and said casually, “I just saw that you have a simple and straightforward personality. I knew that you didn’t have any malicious intent, that’s why I did so. If you had come with malice, don’t you think that you would have been trampled into pieces by now?” 

 

His words were both understated but also piercing with coldness.

 

Ying Yu couldn’t help but shiver and her face turned pale. She knew that what he said was not a lie. He was truly capable of doing it.

 

“If I were you, I would rather ask your brother about it than waste your time on me. Maybe, he has something to hide from you. Also, why was he not the one who had come forward to confront me? Instead, it’s you?” He formed a smile, as if it was nothing. [Of course, Ying Shuang won’t dare to confront me. After all, I still have some dirt on him, and he knows.]

 

“I see…”

 

Then, Ying Yu quickly realised. From what Gu Changge had done, it was clear that he had no enmity with Ying Shuang and Sky Emperor Mountain. The reason why he guessed as such before was only based on the most suitable possibility at that time. So, the root cause of the issue was not Gu Changge. 

 

[Then, who could it be?] Ying Yu was lost in thought.

 

Looking at this scene, Gu Changge’s expression became one of intrigue. [For that body possession cliche, that Fortuitous One, he has one achilles heel. It is naturally the people closest to him. He would not be able to answer things those close to him knows about. Now that the dice has been set, as long as Ying Yu is not that dumb, she should be able to figure it out. That he had been lying to her all this while!]

 

Gu Changge was able to vaguely see the scene of the brother and sister fighting against each other. 

 

After that, he took the initiative to make Ying Yu drink more liquor to make her drunk. It was obvious that she seldom drank. As for the liquor, even with his cultivation level, it still would have an effect on him.

 

Ying Yu didn’t expect Gu Changge would pour alcohol for her. She was flattered. Although she couldn’t drink much, it was not good to embarrass him at this time. Thus, after a few drinks, she was already a little tipsy, almost falling over. Fortunately, Gu Changge was quick and agile enough to help her up.

 

“Thank you, Young Master Gu.” Ying Yu felt even dizzier and her face was slightly red. But she had also changed her way of addressing him.

 

Gu Changge shook his head helplessly and said, “Miss Ying Yu, your alcohol tolerance…”

 

The man in black named Ah Gu scratched his head and attempted to flatter, “Mistress hardly drinks. Please don’t blame her.”

 

Gu Changge waved his hand and said, “Then, you should safely take Miss Ying Yu back now.” 

 

Once he was done speaking, Ying Yu’s two maids stepped forward immediately and helped escort her away.

 

“Young Master Changge, we will excuse ourselves now.” The man in black drew back his smile and left with his men.

 

A strange light flashed across Gu Changge’s eyes. Except for him, no one else could see anything unusual.

 

Just now, when he helped Ying Yu, he took the opportunity to leave a rune on her, to determine the location of her and Ying Shuang. [I wonder what that brother of hers would think if Ying Yu returns back, drunk? After all, the man who drank with her, was me.]

 

Soon, the other young prodigies also left. It was only Ye Langtian and Ye Liuli who chose to remain.

 

They told Gu Changge a lot about the news regarding the Immortal Academy, and even told him another thing that caught his interest..

 

“Another Successor of Demonic Arts has appeared?” Gu Changge raised his eyebrows and asked without much change to his tone, “Are you sure this is true?”

 

“My sister and I saw it with our own eyes. According to my current understanding of the Successors of Demonic Arts these days, it should not be wrong.”

 

“At that time, that mysterious person should be in cultivation, devouring the Source of an ancient corpse. It was no different from what was written about the Forbidden Demonic Arts in the ancient records.” Ye Langtian solemnly said..

 

“An ancient artifact that was auctioned off at the time also involved the Forbidden Demonic Arts. It happened to be taken by that mysterious man,” said Ye Liuli.

 

“I see.” After listening to this, Gu Changge nodded and seemed to be thinking about something. [How interesting.]

 

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. [Is there really another Successor of Demonic Arts in this world other than me? Or is he fake? I was born knowing the Demonic Arts. It was not some inheritance or teaching. Is it possible that this person is someone who inherited the Demonic Arts from someone else in the previous generation?]

 

A demonic mighty figure inexplicably appeared in his mind. [Whether or not it is true, I will know once I confirm it with my own eyes.]

    1. Makes sense. The Mortal one did imply that the MC is someone far more ancient and powerful in origin. On the bright side, MC has an actual scrapegoat now that this is the case xD
