Upon hearing the mysterious voice, the small tower immediately became somewhat nervous!
Under normal circumstances, Ye Guan definitely could not know anything. After all, up to now, it had never revealed anything to Ye Guan.
But this guy was far too clever!
There was no guarantee he would not discover something!
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly shook his head and smiled. “Tower Lord, do you think my idea is a bit ridiculous?”
The small tower thought for a moment, then said, “What is ridiculous about it? Why can you not become the dean?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “To become the dean, two conditions are indispensable. First, personal strength must be heaven-defying, enough to convince everyone! Second, an invincible background and backer. Without either, it is impossible to suppress the aristocratic families and sect factions within the academy!”
With that, he let out a soft sigh. “I know personal effort is very important, but one must admit that the world is often cruel and realistic! Some things you do not have at birth, you may never have in your lifetime!”
The small tower asked, “Have you ever resented your parents? After all, they did not give you such an invincible family background!”
Ye Guan smiled. “How could I? Which parents do not want the best for their children? If there were no special reasons, I believe they would not have let me grow up so freely! As for family background, human hearts are never satisfied. Many people only compare themselves to those better off, without ever thinking how many people in the world have it much harder than they do. Take myself, for example. With your help, Tower Lord, my starting point is already far beyond countless others.”
The small tower gave a slight smile, feeling quite gratified.
Ye Guan continued, “I know my own background must be somewhat complicated. Otherwise, Tower Lord, you would not hide it from me so carefully. I will not ask about my origins again now, because I believe that when the time is right, you will tell me everything honestly.”
The small tower quickly replied, “Good!”
Ye Guan looked toward the distant end of spacetime and said, “Tower Lord, my enemy is the Child of Destiny!”
The small tower said, “Yes, I know. What about it?”
Ye Guan calmly continued, “You do not seem worried at all!”
The small tower: “……”
The mysterious voice said, “Here it comes! He is doing it again!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Tower Lord, are you not worried because you simply do not take the Child of Destiny seriously, or is there another reason?”
Inside the small tower, it said in a deep voice, “Damn it! I am truly convinced by this bastard!”
Ye Guan went on, “Also, my previous enemies were the An family, who had two Martial Gods, yet you were not worried, Tower Lord! Now my enemy is the Child of Destiny, and still you are not concerned!”
With that, he thought for a moment, then said, “Tower Lord, have I perhaps underestimated your strength and background just a little?”
The small tower was starting to feel numb!
Ye Guan added, “Moreover, I have noticed a particularly important point. It seems you are very afraid of me learning my true identity!”
The small tower said, “Did I not just say that when the time comes, I will tell you?”
Ye Guan smiled. “All right!”
The small tower asked, “For this trip to the Guanxuan Cosmic Academy headquarters, do you have any plans? Or are you simply going to fight the Child of Destiny?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “The internal forces within Guanxuan Academy are extremely complicated, not a monolith! That means some people support the Child of Destiny, while others may not! For example, the Literary Academy. I think once I arrive, I can make more friends! Such as the Nine Heavens Ten Lands’ Spirit Void Divine Land, and the top-ranked Time Cave Heaven. I can pay them a visit first!”
The small tower said, “That works!”
Ye Guan continued, “This battle between me and the Child of Destiny will surely attract the attention of the entire universe. Under normal circumstances, he cannot play any dirty tricks! However, those who follow him may not be so restrained! After all, their interests are now tied to his, so I must be careful of the aristocratic families and sects around him. Those groups will do anything for profit!”
With that, he took out a storage ring. This was the one Li Ge from the Divine Spear Clan had given him back then!
Ye Guan said softly, “Once I reach Central Divine Continent, I can contact Senior Li Ge. I wonder if she will be willing to stand on my side this time!”
Then he shook his head with a smile. “Forget it! I am afraid if I call her out and she not only refuses to help but even sides with the Child of Destiny, I will be in an extremely awkward position! Tower Lord, do you not agree?”
The small tower said, “She definitely…”
“Shut up!”
The mysterious voice suddenly interrupted. “You big idiot! He is trying to trick you again!”
“Damn it!”
The small tower immediately raged. “Damn it! This bastard! Earlier he said he would not ask about his origins anymore. Was that just to lower my guard?”
The mysterious voice said calmly, “The fact that you realised this proves you are not beyond saving!”
The small tower fell silent for a moment, then sighed softly. “I am actually starting to fear him a bit! Damn it, this bastard thinks too much! Suddenly I feel his father is much easier to deal with. Although he tricks people, he does not play like this!”
Seeing the tower lord stop speaking mid-sentence, Ye Guan immediately furrowed his brows!
His intuition told him there might be another existence inside the small tower.
At that moment, Ye Guan’s expression suddenly changed dramatically. He stood up at once. In the distance, the spacetime tunnel abruptly collapsed, and a terrifying force swept toward him!
Ye Guan narrowed his eyes and thrust out a single sword!
Boom!
With that thrust, all the spacetime tunnels in the area shattered completely. Ye Guan was directly swept into a chaotic spacetime current!
Ye Guan was greatly alarmed. He did not dare to be careless. He immediately drew the Dao Execution Sword and slashed forward fiercely.
Whoosh!
The spacetime chaos was instantly torn apart. Immediately afterward, he appeared in a silent starry void!
Ye Guan turned his head. Not far away, a spacetime tunnel was slowly healing!
His face became extremely gloomy!
Someone did not want him to reach the Guanxuan Cosmic Academy headquarters!
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly turned. At the edge of his vision stood a woman!
Seeing this woman, Ye Guan immediately furrowed his brows. She was none other than the scythe-wielding woman who had tried to frame him back in Qingzhou!
He had not expected the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to spare her life!
The scythe woman stared at Ye Guan and grinned. “Surprised, are you?”
Ye Guan looked at her without making a move.
The distance was too great!
He had no confidence in instantly killing her!
The scythe woman chuckled lightly. “I must say, you really are a bold man! Not only do you dare challenge the Child of Destiny, but you also rush toward Guanxuan Cosmic so quickly. Unfortunately, someone does not want you to reach the headquarters!”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “Miss, is there any mortal enmity between us?”
The scythe woman narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean?”
Ye Guan said seriously, “Since there is no mortal enmity, I would like to have a chat with you!”
The scythe woman stared at Ye Guan. “What do you want to talk about?”
Ye Guan said calmly, “Your task should be to stop me from reaching the Guanxuan Academy headquarters. I want to know who sent you!”
The scythe woman laughed. “Do you think I will tell you?”
Ye Guan stared at her. “Do you think it is necessary to make an irreconcilable enemy of me? If you do, then I will stop chatting with you!”
The scythe woman fell silent.
Ye Guan continued, “The academy?”
The scythe woman shook her head.
Ye Guan nodded. “Then it is the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!”
The scythe woman said, “You guessed half right!”
Ye Guan furrowed his brows. “Not just the Immortal Treasure Pavilion?”
The scythe woman nodded. She glanced at Ye Guan. “Do you know how many forces have already sided with the Child of Destiny right now?”
Ye Guan shook his head.
The scythe woman said, “Within Guanxuan Academy, the Martial Academy’s Grand Martial Officer has become the Child of Destiny’s teacher. His disciples are spread across the world, and his influence is terrifying. Beyond that, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion has also taken his side. Moreover, the two super forces from the Milky Way Galaxy, the Milky Way Sect and the Future Sect, are his supporters. The rest of the Nine Heavens Ten Lands and various major aristocratic families and sects are all flocking toward him!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly without speaking.
The scythe woman continued, “Now their interests are bound together. Young Master Ye, on this trip to Guanxuan Cosmic, you have no chance of winning. They will not allow you to win either, because your victory does not serve their interests!”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “What is your name, miss?”
The scythe woman glanced at him, then said, “Wanyan Gu.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Miss Wanyan, do you know what the Human Sword Master said to me back in Qingzhou?”
Wanyan Gu narrowed her eyes. “What did he say?”
Ye Guan opened his palm. The Dao Execution Sword trembled violently. In an instant, a resounding sword cry echoed through the starry sky!
Wanyan Gu stared at the Dao Execution Sword and said gravely, “Do not tell me this sword was given to you by the Human Sword Master!”
Ye Guan said solemnly, “The Human Sword Master told me that within the academy today, sects and aristocratic families are everywhere, and corruption is severe. He hopes I can grow strong, then help him manage the academy and eliminate the tumours!”
Wanyan Gu’s expression froze.
Inside the small tower, the mysterious voice said, “Is he just bragging?”
The small tower was silent for a moment, then said, “He is not bragging. His father really did have that intention. Of course, he thinks he is bragging, others think he is bragging, but he actually is not!”
The mysterious voice sighed softly. “I always feel he has figured something out! This is really too frightening!”
The small tower: “……”
Wanyan Gu stared at Ye Guan. “Young Master Ye, are you trying to fool me? If the Human Sword Master chose you as his successor, why would he not announce it directly? If he announced it, would you really be fleeing for your life?”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Nowadays, girls are not easy to fool!
Being a man is really hard!
The small tower suddenly laughed. “This little guy’s ability to bluff is still a bit lacking compared to his father!”
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly said, “Miss Wanyan, do you know why I dared to kill people from the An family? Do you know why I was not afraid of the An family’s two Martial Gods?”
Wanyan Gu furrowed her brows.
Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, Wanyan Gu suddenly said, “Just tell me this one thing. Why did the Human Sword Master not announce you as his successor? Just tell me that!”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “After that great battle back then, the Human Sword Master…”
With that, he pointed to his own head. “His mind has become a bit unwell!”
The small tower was about to speak when the mysterious voice said, “Do not speak. Do not refute. Do not persuade. I suspect he is not bluffing the girl, but deliberately digging a pit for you to jump into!”
The small tower: “……”
Seeing the tower lord remain silent, Ye Guan immediately furrowed his brows. Why was the tower lord not refuting him? In his impression, the tower lord’s mind was not this sharp!
His intuition told him he had some connection to the Human Sword Master, perhaps as a relative, or maybe the Human Sword Master had some tie to his ancestors. But he was not certain, so he wanted to trick the tower lord into revealing something!
Unfortunately, the tower lord had stopped talking!
Wanyan Gu remained silent for a long time, then said, “Do you think I will believe that?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “Miss, I need to reach Guanxuan Cosmic as soon as possible. But right now, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and various major forces are surely monitoring me. They do not want me to arrive at Guanxuan Cosmic so soon. The Child of Destiny is probably cultivating some ultimate move. So I ask you to help me reach Guanxuan Cosmic quickly!”
Wanyan Gu stared at Ye Guan. “Why should I help you?”
Ye Guan was silent for a moment, then said, “I will give you one hundred million gold crystals!”
Wanyan Gu was stunned.
Ye Guan continued, “However, I can only owe it for now. Once I find my father, he will pay it! I can write an IOU!”
The mysterious voice suddenly said, “Small tower, do not speak! This might also be a trap!”
The small tower: “……”
