Ling Qiuchang was the Palace Master of the Imperial Celestial Palace. His power was inscrutable since he already reached the Ancestral Dao Realm. Much to his surprise, the Disciple named Gu Changge was still calm and collected in front of him, as though he did not feel any pressure at all.

 

Even the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace would be nervous when facing Ling Qiuchang. While he was amazed, he recalled what Ling Yuxian had said to him about Gu Changge, whose identity was more complicated than it seemed.

 

After the meeting was over that day, Ling Yuxian found him and brought up Gu Changge’s uniqueness. Then, she told him to look into Gu Changge’s background.

 

In fact, Ling Qiuchang knew little about the affairs of the Xian Yun Practice Grounds. He asked someone to investigate the matter and learned that there was indeed an Eldest Senior Brother at the Xian Yun Practice Grounds. However, he had been in seclusion for a long time and was never concerned about worldly affairs. No one had seen his face before.

 

To verify the information, he even summoned Elder Xian Yun and asked her about Gu Changge’s identity. Although there was nothing wrong with Elder Xian Yun’s statement, Ling Yuxian was still worried. That was why she told the Palace Master to summon Gu Changge, intending to examine him. Otherwise, she could not be relieved.

 

Just then, Ling Yuxian took the initiative to speak. “It’s not the Palace Master who would like to see you. It’s me.”

 

She stared fixedly at Gu Changge, her voice as icy as frost.

 

Gu Changge replied with surprise. “Oh? Why would you want to see me, Senior Sister Yuxian?”

 

He was aware that Ling Qiuchang summoned Elder Xian Yun the other day.

 

Elder Xian Yun did not dare to hide anything from him. She told him that Ling Qiuchang asked her questions about his identity and background. Therefore, Gu Changge knew that Ling Qiuchang would probably summon him as well.

 

Although Ling Yuxian did not find anything wrong with Gu Changge, she still looked at him and said, “I’m curious about your identity and background, Senior Brother. Of all my peers in the Imperial Celestial Palace, no one has ever made me feel this way. I’m afraid that even if I make a move, I still won’t be a match for you.”

 

She did not care that Gu Changge just called her ‘Senior Sister’. She directly called him ‘Senior Brother’.

 

“We’ve never exchanged blows before, so what makes you think so?” Gu Changge kept a faint smile on his face.

 

Ling Yuxian looked him in the eye as though trying to see through his mind. She said directly, “I believe my intuition. You are special. You are not an ordinary Disciple. No Disciple can ever calmly look me in the eye. Even when you’re facing the Palace Master, you’re still calm and collected.”

 

“I’m afraid you have too much confidence in your beauty, Senior Sister Yuxian. I’m not interested in you.” Gu Changge smiled faintly.

 

“I’m not talking about my appearance.” Ling Yuxian frowned with displeasure. She knew that Gu Changge was deliberately twisting her words.

 

Gu Changge appeared puzzled. “Why would I not dare to look you in the eye, then?”

 

Ling Yuxian questioned sternly, “Who on earth are you?”

 

She sounded rude because she was frustrated that she could not even see through Gu Changge’s background, let alone his cultivation. Nevertheless, she was vigilant against the faint sense of danger.

 

One had to know that she was someone with memories of her past life and had a powerful background. Although she had not recalled most of her memories, she could still transcend all her peers. Even the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace could not see through her background and power.

 

If she used all her moves, even Elders in the Dao Realm would not be a match for her.

 

She was confident and proud, believing that no one else in the Primary Hope Civilisation would be as great as she was.

 

Still, Gu Changge’s appearance made her recall some of her memories from the distant past. Furthermore, she could feel a sense of great danger.

 

Upon hearing her words, Ling Qiuchang did not doubt her. Instead, he became even more surprised.

 

Although Ling Yuxian never directly pointed out why Gu Changge was special, she must have detected some anomalies, considering her identity and experiences.

 

Therefore, when Ling Yuxian finished her words, Ling Qiuchang also stared fixedly at Gu Changge. Countless images seemed to be turning over behind his dark gaze.

 

Chaos Energy dissipated, and the universe fell apart. He gave off an immense pressure that could easily shatter one’s Soul. He used a move exclusive to the Ancestral Dao Realm, trying to force Gu Changge to tell the truth.

 

“Is this how you oppress a Disciple of the Imperial Celestial Palace, Palace Master?” Gu Changge swept a glance over Ling Qiuchang. He still appeared nonchalant. Then, he said with a smile, “If word gets out, what will the others make of it? I have no ill intentions against the Imperial Celestial Palace. What you’re doing is disappointing, Palace Master.”

 

When Ling Qiuchang saw that Gu Changge was not affected by his pressure at all, he donned a dark expression. As the Palace Master, he was not supposed to oppress a young Disciple like this. More importantly, his move was not effective against Gu Changge, which was inconceivable.

 

At that moment, he even felt everything was ridiculous. He wondered who this composed young Disciple was.

 

Ling Yuxian did not expect that Ling Qiuchang’s move was useless against Gu Changge. It seemed that Gu Changge’s background was more shocking than she had thought.

 

After a moment of silence, she said, “Senior Brother, since you’re so powerful, why have you reduced yourself to an ordinary Disciple in the Xian Yun Practice Grounds?”

 

She reckoned Elder Xian Yun was not even aware that her Disciple had such a horrifying power and background.

 

They were trying to help the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace break free, so she would not dare to be negligent.

 

“Everyone has their secrets. Why are you even probing me, Senior Sister? It’s just like you also have your secrets. You just have to know that I have no ill intentions against the Imperial Celestial Palace.” Gu Changge said with a faint smile.

 

Ling Yuxian’s expression changed when she heard that. Only she was aware of her secrets. Even Ling Qiuchang knew nothing.

 

Was Gu Changge trying to imply that he was also a reincarnated person with memories of his past life, just like herself? Was this the reason she felt anxious and threatened when facing Gu Changge?

 

[Did he just say he has no ill intentions against the Imperial Celestial Palace?]
