Little Tower was somewhat stunned!
Was there something wrong with what it had said?
On second thought, there seemed to be a problem indeed!
This guy had misunderstood!
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly looked at Qin Feng and smiled. “Brother Qin, great kindness needs no words of thanks. If I survive this fortune contest, I will surely repay you in the future!”
With that, he clasped his fists and turned to leave.
In place, Qin Feng sighed softly. “Brother Ye, take care!”
Ye Guan waved his hand, then directly turned into a sword light and soared into the sky.
Qin Feng watched the sword light in the sky and said softly, “Such a young Great Sword Immortal with this kind of talent is truly rare in the world! What a pity, what a pity that he does not have a powerful protector. Alas……”
With that, he turned and left.
He had already formed this good connection. As for the future, it could only be left to fate!
…
Guanxuan Academy.
Gu Chaoyuan sat in a courtyard. In front of him was Li Qiu, the head of the Enforcement Court!
Li Qiu stared at Gu Chaoyuan. “Why did you agree to the An family?”
Gu Chaoyuan said calmly, “If I do not agree, tomorrow the head of this academy will be replaced!”
Li Qiu fell silent.
Gu Chaoyuan smiled lightly. “I am not Chief Ye. The An family coming to discuss with me is already giving me tremendous face! If I do not cooperate, they will make me cooperate.”
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly. “Not to mention that in the main Guanxuan Academy, there is also the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan. If these two families mobilise their connections, let alone removing me, making me disappear from this world would be a simple matter!”
Li Qiu sighed softly. “Head, their aim this time is clearly to target this Young Master Ye! Obviously, they do not want this Young Master Ye to grow further!”
Gu Chaoyuan nodded. “I can see it! Everyone can see it! But no one dares to speak out! I do not dare to speak out either!”
Li Qiu hesitated, then said, “Can we contact Chief Ye?”
Gu Chaoyuan smiled. “Whoever contacts her will disappear from this world the next day!”
Li Qiu said gravely, “This is too unfair!”
Gu Chaoyuan glanced at Li Qiu and smiled. “Fairness? Where is absolute fairness in this world? Right now, all forces in the entire Zhongtu Divine Continent know that the An family and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan want to kill this Ye Guan. Everyone knows it is the fault of the An family and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan, but no one dares to stand up and say it. Who would offend the flourishing An family and Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan for a young upstart?”
Li Qiu stared at Gu Chaoyuan. “So, we just watch the An family openly kill Ye Guan?”
Gu Chaoyuan looked at Li Qiu and smiled. “Head Li, you seem very reluctant to see Ye Guan die!”
Li Qiu sighed softly. “Head Gu, it is not that I side with Ye Guan, but I feel that doing this truly goes against the principles of our academy!”
Gu Chaoyuan said softly, “Head Li, I have already told you before: this matter has changed in nature! This time, killing Ye Guan represents the attitude of the aristocratic families. Who is killing Ye Guan meant to be shown to? It is shown to Chief Ye! Was she not punishing the aristocratic families for a sword cultivator? Then kill this person and let her understand that the aristocratic families are not something she can manipulate at will!”
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly. “This time, Ye Guan’s enemies are not just the An family and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan! There are also those unseen aristocratic family giants!”
Li Qiu sighed deeply.
How could he not understand?
This was the aristocratic family group intending to kill the chicken to scare the monkey for Chief Ye to see!
Otherwise, the main academy would never have mobilised such great power to recall Chief Ye to the main academy!
Li Qiu said gravely, “Let me say, just in case: what if Ye Guan defeats the An family and the others?”
Gu Chaoyuan smiled lightly. “Is that possible?”
With that, he turned and left!
After a moment of silence, Li Qiu shook his head and sighed.
He also felt it was impossible!
Some gaps could not be bridged just by effort!
Aristocratic families!
Backing!
Resources!
Connections!
Protectors!
For many things, if you were not born with them, you would never have them!
…
Ye Guan returned to the Dao Sect. As soon as he arrived, he saw Nanling Yiyi!
Nanling Yiyi sat in front of the dilapidated gate, hands propping her chin, her gaze somewhat vacant, lost in thought!
The moment she saw Ye Guan, Nanling Yiyi suddenly stood up. She quickly ran to Ye Guan and said joyfully, “Junior Brother Ye, you are back!”
Ye Guan smiled slightly. “Senior Sister!”
Nanling Yiyi rolled her eyes at Ye Guan. “Where have you been these days? Not a word from you?”
Ye Guan smiled. “I went to the Xuan Realm for cultivation. I trained there a bit too long!”
Nanling Yiyi nodded and said softly, “Next time you go for so long, you must tell me in advance. Otherwise, I will…… um, otherwise Master will be very worried. He was so worried he almost could not eat!”
Dao Monk: “……”
Ye Guan nodded. “Alright!”
As he spoke, he glanced inside the hall, then said, “Is Master in?”
Nanling Yiyi nodded. “He is!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “I will go talk to him!”
With that, he walked towards the hall.
Nanling Yiyi grinned. “I will go cook for you!”
With that, she turned and ran to the kitchen.
Ye Guan entered the hall. Dao Monk lay on a chair, somewhat drunk, with a large pile of meat bones beside him.
Ye Guan walked to Dao Monk’s side and bowed slightly. “Master!”
Dao Monk sat up. He pointed to the chair in front of Ye Guan. “Sit!”
Ye Guan sat down.
Dao Monk stared at Ye Guan. “The Great Dao fortune contest has been advanced!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I know!”
Dao Monk said, “Do not compete this time!”
Ye Guan looked at Dao Monk. Dao Monk nodded. “It is decided!”
Ye Guan smiled bitterly. “Master knows everything?”
Dao Monk said calmly, “Is your master an old fool?”
Ye Guan said gravely, “Master, I must participate in this Great Dao fortune contest!”
Dao Monk stared at Ye Guan. “Do you know that this time it is a trap set by the An family specifically for you?”
Ye Guan nodded. “I know!”
Dao Monk said gravely, “You know, and you still want to participate?”
Ye Guan nodded. “If I participate, there is still a slim chance of survival. If I do not, they will directly send top experts to target me. At that time, my situation will be even worse than now!”
Dao Monk fell silent.
Ye Guan smiled. “If I go, it is same-generation against same-generation, and there is still a chance. If I do not go, they will have reason to send top experts to kill me. Therefore, I can only compete for this Great Dao fortune and take first place. Only then will they not dare to kill me. After all, killing the first-place winner of the Great Dao fortune contest would have an extremely negative impact on the academy!”
After a moment of silence, Dao Monk said softly, “What you say makes some sense. But do you have confidence in taking first place?”
Ye Guan said gravely, “I do!”
Dao Monk stared at Ye Guan for a long time, his expression complicated. “I am sorry. As your master, I cannot help you with anything!”
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. “When Master was willing to take me in, that was already sending charcoal in snowy weather! As for my matter with the An family, it is my own affair. I only hope it does not implicate the Dao Sect!”
Dao Monk shook his head. “What implication? Our Dao Sect is already so miserable. How much more miserable can it get?”
Ye Guan smiled slightly and said nothing.
Dao Monk said softly, “Go cultivate!”
Ye Guan nodded, then stood up and left!
In the hall, Dao Monk turned to the incense table. He looked at the extremely worn-out painting on it and said softly, “Old Ancestor! If you are spirited, please bless this child more! He is the last hope of our Dao Sect!”
…
In the room, Ye Guan and Nanling Yiyi sat facing each other. In front of them was a table full of dishes!
Ye Guan ate very quickly, almost wolfing it down.
Nanling Yiyi blinked. “Junior Brother, is it delicious?”
Ye Guan quickly nodded. “Delicious!”
Nanling Yiyi smiled. “Then I will often cook for you in the future!”
Ye Guan put down his bowl, then said, “Thank you, Senior Sister!”
Nanling Yiyi cleared the bowls and chopsticks, then said, “You cultivate well! I will not disturb you!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Alright!”
After Nanling Yiyi left, Ye Guan sat cross-legged on the bed. He slowly closed his eyes and said in his heart, “Tower Lord!”
Little Tower said, “Speak!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Little Tower said, “What is it?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “I do not want to say anymore!”
With that, he stood up and walked outside!
Little Tower: “……”
It was already late at night, with stars filling the sky and the bright moon hanging high.
Ye Guan slowly walked to the edge of a nearby cliff. He looked down at the land below and said softly, “Tower Lord, why are there so few sword cultivators in this era?”
He had originally thought that there were few sword cultivators in Nanzhou because it was backward. However, he had not expected that even here, sword cultivators were still very rare!
After a moment of silence, Little Tower said, “The reason there are few sword cultivators here is because of some events back then that caused many inheritances to be interrupted, especially for sword cultivators.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly, then asked, “Tower Lord, if your injuries recover, will you leave?”
Little Tower said, “I will!”
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. “Regardless, being able to meet Tower Lord and receive your guidance is my honour!”
Little Tower said, “Are you trying to get something?”
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened.
Little Tower said, “If you have any needs, you can say them. Within my ability, I can consider!”
Ye Guan said gravely, “Tower Lord, I am a sword cultivator, but I have never seen the strength of other sword cultivators. Therefore, I hope to witness the battles of powerful sword cultivators. If I can witness them, perhaps I will gain new insights!”
After a moment of silence, Little Tower said, “Not possible for now!”
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Why?”
Little Tower said, “What you lack now is a battle of your own, not watching others fight. Perhaps watching others fight could give you new insights, but you must take it step by step, understand?”
It was actually afraid, afraid that Ye Guan would progress too quickly!
Especially in sword dao. In this aspect, one must proceed step by step and let it settle. Otherwise, taking too big a stride could easily cause problems!
Ye Guan thought about it and nodded. “I understand!”
At that moment, the space in front of him suddenly trembled slightly. After a moment, Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed.
Qin Feng had sent him a message!
The An family’s genius and the genius from the Milky Way Galaxy had arrived in the Zhongtu Divine Continent!
In addition, the monster from the Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan had also arrived in the Zhongtu Divine Continent!
All of them had come for him, Ye Guan!
