Could Gu Changge detect the Mirror of Reincarnation’s deductions on him and catch a glimpse of these deductions? That would be inconceivable.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess shook her head, feeling that it was impossible. The Mirror of Reincarnation was a First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure. No one in the world could capture the images of its deductions. She would like to believe that Gu Changge had powerful senses and was fully aware of his fate, which was why he was able to faintly detect the deductions on him. After all, the Mirror of Reincarnation’s simulations of the future would have some influence on his karmic connection.

 

Either way, the Primary Hope Saintess was still astounded that she suddenly came into contact with Gu Changge at this point. She was vigilant and cautious.

 

“Fate is an amazing thing. Perhaps we’re destined to come into contact. Although we’ve never seen each other before, it’s as though we’ve been friends for the longest time. By the way, who is this Young Lady?”

 

While wearing a veil, the Primary Hope Saintess spoke gently and walked along the corridor. It was as though she had just noticed Ling Yuxian’s presence and started asking about her identity and purpose for visiting her.

 

She knew that Gu Changge was not from the Imperial Celestial Palace. On the other hand, she felt an unusual aura exuding from this woman. She could not figure out her identity at that moment.

 

Ling Yuxian was speculating on the relationship between the Primary Hope Saintess and Gu Changge when she suddenly heard the question. She came to her senses and started introducing herself. She also asked about the Primary Hope Saintess’ Master.

 

Her Older Sister had told her to visit the Primary Hope Saintess to get some information about her Master. That was because the Primary Hope Saintess’ Master was the Great Sage who had built the Primary Hope Holy Church.

 

Back in the days when they were going against Heaven’s Proxy Group as allies, she was one of the leaders. That was why she could take the First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure, the Mirror of Reincarnation.

 

“My Master went missing many epochs ago. I’ve never seen her again since I became the Saintess of Primary Hope Holy Church. I’m not sure if she’s still alive or if she’s wandering around in the depths of some Spacetime.”

 

The Primary Hope Saintess did not expect someone would ask about her Master.

 

This was not a secret in Primary Hope Civilisation. She was in charge of Primary Hope Holy Church, and the Mirror of Reincarnation was in her hands.

 

[It seems that my Older Sister’s idea isn’t going to work…] Ling Yuxian felt it was such a shame. She knew that the fact that her Older Sister wanted to contact the Great Sage must have something to do with the calamity that the Primary Hope Civilisation was about to face.

 

She knew that she was weak and was not of much help, so she never asked her Older Sister about it.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess was curious about why Ling Yuxian suddenly inquired about her Master.

 

“My Older Sister would like to visit Senior Xi Nu. She needs to discuss something with her.”

 

As Ling Yuxian spoke, she took a glance at Gu Changge. He was sipping the tea presented to him by the maidservant. It was as though all the worldly affairs had nothing to do with him.

 

The Founder of the Primary Hope Holy Church was named Xi Nu. No one was aware of her background. It was only known that she was an Ancient Being. It seemed that she came from ancient times. After all, she was one of the leaders in the war against the Heaven’s Proxy Group. She could even take control of a First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure. There was no doubt she was powerful and resourceful.

 

“Who’s your Older Sister?” The Primary Hope Saintess was surprised.

 

Honestly, she had not heard of the name Xi Nu in a long time. Most people in the world were not aware of her Master’s name.

 

She became curious about the background of Ling Yuxian and her Older Sister.

 

“My Sister is the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace.” Ling Yuxian replied directly.

 

“What?” The Primary Hope Saintess was startled upon hearing that, feeling that she had misheard her. When she came to her senses, she was rooted to the spot as her lips parted behind the veil.

 

The Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace was this woman’s Older Sister, which meant that she came from the same era as the Primary Hope Saintess’ Master.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess initially thought that Ling Yuxian was one of the brilliant young Disciples from the Imperial Celestial Palace, which was why her Seniors told her to look for the Primary Hope Saintess. Much to her surprise, Ling Yuxian was actually an authoritative figure.

 

A person who came from the same era as her Master appeared right before her eyes. What was more, she looked so young. This matter was inconceivable.

 

Anyway, the Primary Hope Saintess was not an ordinary person. She soon pulled herself together and looked at Ling Yuxian with a conflicted gaze.

 

“It seems that I’m supposed to call you Senior.” she said.

 

Although Ling Yuxian looked young, she surely had a way to go through a reincarnation and rebuild her body as she was from that era. Also, since she was with Gu Changge, she certainly was not an ordinary cultivator.

 

“There’s no need for that.” Ling Yuxian waved her hand. When she saw that the Primary Hope Saintess no longer treating her with ease, she stopped her.

 

Moreover, she was a reincarnated person, so she could not blame the Primary Hope Saintess for not realising she was much older. She also did not care about such formalities.

 

A moment later, the Primary Hope Saintess nodded and said, “My Master left the Primary Hope Holy Church a long time ago. I don’t know where she is. I’m in charge of the Primary Hope Holy Church now, so if there’s anything you need to discuss, you can talk to me.”

 

Before this, it never crossed her mind that the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace was still alive. In recent epochs, those from the Imperial Celestial Palace had been keeping a low profile. Many felt that they were on the decline.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess reckoned that the fact that the Jing Family showed up suddenly in the Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory might have something to do with the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace .

 

She thought of many associations at that moment.

 

The undercurrents were violent, and many things were changing drastically without her knowledge. Perhaps her Master, who had been missing for a long time, would also return at some point.

 

“I have no idea what my Sister needs to discuss with Senior Xi Nu. It seems that she’ll have to come looking for you after this.” Ling Yuxian shook her head.

 

Upon hearing that, the Primary Hope Saintess shook her head. “I naturally can’t trouble Senior by letting her come to me. After Chu Gucheng’s birthday banquet is over, I’ll follow the two of you to the Imperial Celestial Palace. If there’s an important matter, I can talk to your Sister face-to-face.”

 

She noticed that when Ling Yuxian brought up her Older Sister, Gu Changge did not seem surprised at all. It was apparent that Gu Changge was already aware of this. He might have even come into contact with the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace .

 

“That’ll be great.” Ling Yuxian nodded, not wanting to complicate things.

 

Moreover, her Older Sister indeed could not show up in front of others, considering her identity.

 

Then, the Primary Hope Saintess shifted her attention to Gu Changge. When she saw how he sipped tea, she recalled the simulated images of the future from the Mirror of Reincarnation and felt her eyelashes trembling.

 

She recalled that during a simulation, she was killed by Gu Changge because she presented tea to him with her left hand.

 

Anger rose within her whenever she thought about this matter. Although it was a simulated future, she had gone through the experience firsthand. She had always been noble and special. Although she had prepared tea for Gu Changge, she was still criticised and killed.

 

If word got out, it would be unimaginable what kind of uproar would be caused.

 

Suddenly, Gu Changge put down his teacup and looked at the Primary Hope Saintess. He asked with surprise, “Why are your emotions undulating all of a sudden, Saintess?”

 

The Primary Hope Saintess noticed that her fluctuations of emotions were indeed conspicuous. She hurriedly pulled herself together and shook her head. “I merely thought of a terrible experience.”

 

Gu Changge said with a smile, “I see. I thought I’d accidentally offended you and you wanted to make a move against me.”

 

The Primary Hope Saintess was shocked by Gu Changge’s powerful senses once more. How did he detect that? She quickly shook her head. “You’re overthinking it, Young Master Gu. Why would I make a move against you all of a sudden? Also, why would you offend me?”

 

When she finished speaking, she suddenly put on a smile. Although she was wearing a veil, her smile still made everything else in the world pale in comparison.

 

The maidservant who was responsible for serving tea was surprised.

 

“I don’t know about that.” Gu Changge shook his head with a smile.

 

Although it was their first encounter, it was as though they had known each other for a long time. For some reason, Ling Yuxian felt uncomfortable and frustrated deep within.

 

“Since there’s nothing else, we should take our leave, Senior Brother Gu. We shouldn’t disrupt the Saintess’ rest any longer,” Ling Yuxian said.

 

“Sure.” Gu Changge smiled upon hearing that. He rose to his feet, ready to leave.

 

However, the Primary Hope Saintess took the initiative to make Gu Changge stay. “Please stay, Young Master Gu. I have some questions to ask you, only you.”

 

Ling Yuxian furrowed her brows. It was their first time seeing each other, but the Primary Hope Saintess said she wanted to be alone with Gu Changge. [Does she not find this inappropriate?]

 

[Also, what questions did she need to ask him? Is she aware of Gu Changge’s identity and background?] At that moment, Ling Yuxian felt that Gu Changge and the Primary Hope Saintess were indeed old friends.

 

The way the Primary Hope Saintess had been acting did not make her seem like the transcendental Saintess that everyone thought she was.

 

“Since Saintess has only asked you to stay, I won’t disturb the two of you. I’ll take my leave now.” From the corner of her eye, Ling Yuxian saw Gu Changge nodding. After a snort, she turned around and left with the maidservant.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess did not know the relationship between Gu Changge and Ling Yuxian, but when she saw her expression, she formed some speculation.

 

The Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace was one of the supreme experts who ended the Black Disaster. But now, her Younger Sister seemed fond of Gu Changge.

 

By using the Mirror of Reincarnation to make deductions, the Primary Hope Saintess initially thought that the demise of the Land of Celestial Suffering and the calamity of the Primary Hope Civilisation. They all had something to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

The mysterious Master behind the Heavenslayers Alliance had a lot to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

If Gu Changge indeed had something to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster, the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace would have detected it. However, it was also possible that the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace could not figure out Gu Changge’s identity and background.
