In their opinion, it was very likely that Gu Xianer was being threatened by Gu Changge, and therefore brought him here. However, they still couldn’t figure out where did Gu Changge gain the courage to dare to do that? [Is he not taking us seriously? Is it because of his identity as the Immortal Gu Family’s Young Master?
“Gu Changge, what do you mean by doing this? Do you think we are people who you can push around at will?”
“How dare you be so arrogant and come here on your own will? Xianer, don’t be afraid. With your Masters around, if he dares to threaten you, we will definitely not let him leave here alive.”
“I will kill him even if I offend the Immortal Gu Family that backs him!”
The several old men coldly stated, coldly glaring at Gu Changge with killing intent. It seemed that if he said one wrong word, they would make a move and subdue him.
Ordinary people would have been paralyzed with fear under their pressure, and would tremble so much till they were unable to stand up.
But, he didn’t.
He was still calm as if he wasn’t able to feel the pressure. He didn’t speak as well, just like an outsider who had no care in the world. This scene made the old men’s hearts sink. It was clear that Gu Changge was not a simple man. Besides, he must have been well prepared before he came here and was not afraid of them.
“Masters, you’ve misunderstood. That is not the case at all. Please listen to my explanation, okay?” Although she had expected this, she was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. Of course, she felt warmth in her heart.
For her sake, her several Masters would even offend the Immortal Gu Family. She also understood that no matter how mysterious and powerful her Masters were, they couldn’t be a match for the Family that backed Gu Changge.
Hearing what she said, the Masters frowned. [Did she become mentally handicapped or has she been drugged? What kind of misunderstanding could there possibly be? There is deep-rooted hatred between the two. Back when she was young, Gu Changge dug out her Daoist Bone and almost killed her! If she was not lucky, she would have been dead by now. Furthermore, those of her lineage had all been suppressed and exiled from the family. How could this hatred possibly be erased, and be stated to be just a misunderstanding?]
For a moment, they all thought that she must have been coerced and deceived. Those of her lineage were under Gu Changge’s control, so he made use of the opportunity to threaten her.
“Young man, I advise you to be smart and play fewer tricks. Any scheme will not work in front of us…”
The village head of Peach Village coldly glared at him, trying to see a flaw in his facade. However, Gu Changge was very calm from beginning to end. His tone did not change at all. “Seniors, if you think there is something wrong, you can make a move. Why waste your time?”
“How dare you! Are you threatening us!?”
Gu Xianer’s Third Master roared. Although he was deaf, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t hear what Gu Changge said. Since his cultivation had reached a very high level, it was the same whether he had the organ or not.
“Gu Changge, can’t you stop speaking? Have you forgotten why you are here?”
It was also a headache for Gu Xianer when Gu Changge chose not to keep silent no matter who he was facing. So, she had no choice but to ask him to take care of Yao Yao. While, she took this opportunity to inform her masters what had happened between her and Gu Chengge recently, which made their expressions change and become complicated.
“Are you hiding anything from us? Anything that you can’t speak out loud?”
“Unbelievable.”
Hearing this, the Peach Village’s head frowned. In their eyes, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Gu Xianer said, especially when she was revealing the truth bit by bit. They found the secret from all kinds of clues. Otherwise, it would be difficult to be discovered.
All kinds of details made them silent.
After all, judging from what she said, being her who said it, the credibility of the matter had increased by more than a hundred times. Gu Changge had never told her the truth from beginning to end. It was something she found out by herself.
“Innate Demonic Nature? I wonder what is the cause?”
“Everything seems to be true. Based on how the Immortal Gu Family does things, they definitely cannot let this be exposed.”
“I can’t believe that there was such a secret hidden in the past. Did we wrong him just now?”
With such thoughts, the old men all looked a little embarrassed and awkward. It would be great if their hatred was resolved. They also didn’t want to see Gu Xianer continue to carry a deep hatred. Now, she looked much happier and more relaxed than before.
The once enemy, whom she detested to the core, was standing in front of her. However, she not only did not hate him, but she also defended him. People truly are passengers in the twist and turns of fate!
“What are you looking at?” However, at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a soft and pleasant voice. It sounded like a heavenly, ethereal fairy.
“Lady Tao Yao!” The villagers were all excited and bowed, paying their respects to the peach tree at the entrance of the village. Since the beginning, before the village head and the others came, there was always this peach tree at the entrance of the village, ensuring their safety. It was something that had not changed for generations.
They admired and respected the peach tree from the bottom of their hearts. However, over the years, Lady Tao Yao rarely spoke. Everyone thought that she had fallen asleep. They did not expect her to suddenly speak today.
“Lady Tao Yao, we can’t believe you actually took the initiative to speak today…”
“We were talking about this guy.”
The village head and others were also a little taken aback. Although they were of ancient backgrounds, they were still not as powerful as the mysterious peach tree in front of them. Thus, they could not help but hold her in high regard and respect her.
Lady Tao Yao would not speak, with only a few exceptions. It was strange that she took the initiative to talk to Gu Changge today.
“I was not looking at anything in particular. I just feel that the aura of Senior’s body is a little similar to that of Yao Yao’s.” Gu Changge slowly said, withdrawing his gaze from the peach tree. He was not surprised that she would take the initiative to speak. She must have noticed how special Yao Yao was.
As he spoke, Yao Yao, who was standing behind him, also looked at the peach tree curiously. The uneasiness and worry, from the beginning, were all gone. And now, there was a feeling of familiarity. It was as if the peach tree in front of her had something to do with her. Something like a family member tied by blood.
“There is indeed a deep connection between her and me. I can sense what she is thinking. I can also sense that she can also sense my existence.” The pleasant voice came again from the peach tree, still gentle and without any malice.
“Master, I really seem to be able to sense her… It is as though she’s my sister…” This time, Yao Yao opened her mouth. With doubts and confusion written on her little face, and also with a sense of intimacy. She couldn’t help but want to get close to the peach tree.
Meanwhile, Gu Changge seemed to be lost in thought.
“Is there really some connection between Sister Tao Yao and Yao Yao? Isn’t it too coincidental?” When she heard these words, Gu Xianer was very surprised. Initially, she said and thought of taking Yao Yao to the Peach Village to try her luck. The main purpose was to ask her Masters if they had any idea on how to solve Gu Changge’s situation. It was only natural that she never expected this to happen.
“Come to me.” The voice sounded again from the peach tree.
Yao Yao hesitated for a moment. She had a feeling that she would not hurt her, but she still asked for Gu Changge’s opinion.
Gu Changge nodded and said calmly, “Yao Yao is just a disciple to me. I hope that Senior won’t have any ill intentions towards her… Otherwise, you will know what regret is.”
Of course, he knew that the peach tree wouldn’t hurt Yao Yao, but he had to say something cruel first. After all, how else could show others his goodwill?
“Interesting. You dare to threaten me?”
The voice from the peach tree seemed to have been stunned for a moment, and then a natural and heavenly burst of gentle laughter sounded out. “I can sense what Yao Yao is thinking. You are certainly a great Master.”
*Whoosh!!*
All of a sudden, the peach trees swayed, and their branches and leaves became more radiant. Then, white fog suddenly appeared from all directions. The Principles of the World fell, and sounds of the Great Dao could be heard.
Even the old men in the Peach Village couldn’t see what was happening there. Only Gu Changge could tell after Yao Yao walked over. Inside, a gorgeous figure faintly appeared by the peach tree. With a wave of her hand, the divine light fell from all over the sky and merged into Yao Yao’s body.
It seemed that the person on the other side was someone who wanted him to notice her on purpose. Moreover, he felt that the person’s eyes, as gentle and calm as the autumn water, as if they could see through the universe, were right before him and seemed to want to see through him.
With a calm expression on his face, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Then wisps of his Innate Demonic Nature swelled in his heart. Nonetheless, his facial expression remained indifferent.
