“With the help of this senior from the Jing Family, there should not be any problem.”

 

The Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace were thrilled and relieved upon seeing that.

 

Suddenly, Elder Jiu Lin noticed from a distance that Elder Xian Yun looked strange. Something seemed to be off with her. He could not help but ask caringly, “What’s wrong, Elder Xian Yun? Are you unable to hold on any longer? You look pale.”

 

Upon hearing that, Elder Xian Yun shook her head and pocketed her gaze in silence.

 

However, she still looked pale as though something serious was troubling her.

 

Elder Jiu Lin was perplexed. He looked in the direction Elder Xian Yun had glanced and only saw Gu Changge disappearing into the passageway. This made him feel even more curious.

 

[What’s going on? Isn’t Gu Changge the Eldest Senior Brother of the current generation at the Xian Yun Practice Grounds? What is Elder Xian Yun worried about? Why does she show such an expression?] He shook his head. He reckoned that these were the private affairs of the Xian Yun Practice Grounds, so he was not supposed to ask any questions.

 

“I’m sorry for making you worried, Senior Brother Jiu Lin. It’s not something major. I just suddenly thought of something.” Elder Xian Yun came to her senses and let out a sigh. Then, she looked apologetically at Elder Jiu Lin.

 

Unlike the others, she was aware of Gu Changge’s background. Even her safety was in his hands now.

 

She was worried that there might be a problem as Gu Changge followed the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family to save the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace .

 

Moreover, Elder Xian Yun had a strange feeling that the black-robed old man who claimed to be the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family had a bizarre aura. He also seemed to be deliberately imitating something.

 

He was like a monster in Human skin, who had been learning how to behave and express his feelings like Humans. If not for the fact that she had been observing the black-robed old man the entire time, she would not have discovered it.

 

After all, no one would notice details like these if they were not paying attention.

 

This made her horrified. She was worried that things would go awry if they let the black-robed old man head to Ling Yuxian’s location. Could Ling Yuxian still save the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace ?

 

Unfortunately, Elder Xian Yun did not have the guts to say anything. She could only pray that Gu Changge truly had no ill intentions against the Imperial Celestial Palace. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

 

“Some people are trying to barge into this place.” In the void space filled with the Aura of Darkness, Ling Yuling, who was seated cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes. She turned from gentle to dispassionate in an instant.

 

“Sister?” Ling Yuxian was alert as well. She had not detected any anomaly yet. She was still serving as a bridge to send energy to Ling Yuling.

 

Anyway, not long after Ling Yuling finished her words, Ling Yuxian also saw a blurred passageway in the distance.

 

A fissure opened up as two figures emerged. Although this place was dim, those two people were surrounded by the Dao Light.

 

Ling Yuxian was only too familiar with the young man at the head.

 

He was none other than Gu Changge, whom she had been paying close attention to during this period.

 

She never expected Gu Changge to suddenly appear in this place. What was more, this was his True Body.

 

“Old Jing?” On the other hand, Ling Yuling was astounded as she stared fixedly at the black-robed old man behind Gu Changge. He was none other than Jing Tianyuan.

 

Ling Yuxian had not retrieved all her memories, so she was unfamiliar with the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family. She just felt that she was supposed to know him.

 

She looked vigilantly at Gu Changge and asked icily, “Why are you here, Senior Brother Gu?”

 

Gu Changge swept a glance over her before shifting his attention to Ling Yuling, whose Soul was being restored. He replied with a smile, “Why can’t I be here when you’re already here, Senior Sister Yuxian?”

 

“Are you here to help me out, then?” Ling Yuxian snorted. Despite what she had said, she was cautious. She could never forget about Gu Changge’s inscrutable power.

 

Most importantly, he had arrived at this place in his True Body. If he had some ill intentions against them, she and Ling Yuling did not have a chance to fend him off.

 

“I’m not someone who will go back on my word. Since I’ve made a promise to you, I’ll definitely keep my word.” Gu Changge smiled nonchalantly.

 

Ling Yuxian stared fixedly at him as though trying to find out if he was lying or telling the truth.

 

Ling Yuling also glanced at Gu Changge and fell into her thoughts.

 

She was not aware of Gu Changge’s background as Ling Yuxian had not had the chance to tell her everything.

 

But for some reason, she felt that Gu Changge gave off a dangerous feeling. She also found his aura familiar as though she had come into contact with him before.

 

Nevertheless, she was not at the peak of her power, and her Soul still had not returned to her body, so she could not find out anything.

 

It surprised her that Gu Changge and Jing Tianyuan suddenly appeared in this place.

 

She was worried that something had gone wrong with Jing Tianyuan. The words the Spirit of Eternity had said before he disappeared showed that he still had some arrangements and trump cards.

 

Back then, she entrusted the task of guarding the Gate of Eternity to Jing Tianyuan. Then, because she was badly injured, she had no choice but to go in seclusion and go against the Spirit of Eternity here.

 

“Greetings, Lady Yuling and Lady Yuxian.” Jing Tianyuan spoke just then which disrupted Ling Yuling and Ling Yuxian who were in their thoughts.

 

[Did he just call us Lady Yuling and Lady Yuxian?] Ling Yuxian was puzzled and looked at the thin old man with a frown.

 

“You don’t have to be overly formal with us, Old Jing. I’m truly surprised and pleased that we can reunite after so many years.”

 

Ling Yuling spoke in a gentle tone as she waved her hand and put on a soft smile. Then, she started explaining Jing Tianyuan’s background to Ling Yuxian. She knew that Ling Yuxian had not retrieved all her memories.

 

Jing Tianyuan was the old servant they had taken in back then.

 

At that time, he was merely the Patriarch of the Jing Family, not the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family. The Jing Family was merely a small Family.

 

Before he became powerful enough, he was hunted down by his enemies. While running for his life, he was saved by two people.

 

Then, he received their guidance and cultivated the technique they had left behind, which significantly improved his cultivation.

 

To repay their favour, he willingly became their servant and helped them handle their affairs. He was a loyal man.

 

Ling Yuling knew that Jing Tianyuan was an upright person. After all, they only decided to teach him a cultivation technique and give him some guidance because he was loyal.

 

Even when his Family was going through a huge crisis, he had never thought about giving up on his Family members.

 

He also did not disappoint Ling Yuling. Over the years, he had been guarding the Gate of Eternity to ensure that the corrupted Spirit of Eternity could not return to the outside world.
