He couldn't leave for a while, so Gu Yao simply set up a tent and decided to stay. Chi Changye also set up a layer of formation, and the other cultivators from Tianlin Continent helped. As a result, a barrier formation appeared between Tianlin Continent and Changxian Sect cultivators, so that the other side couldn't do anything sneaky, otherwise they would trigger the formation and cause an alarm.
This made the Changxian Sect people look at them with envy. This was like watching a group of cultivators who were far inferior to them in cultivation and strength jumping around in front of them, but they couldn't do anything to them. They felt very aggrieved.
Tian Feirong and Xiao Pudgy went into the valley. Gu Yao knew their personalities and didn't worry too much about their safety, so he settled down and went into the tent to continue sorting out the gains from the valley. Chi Changye naturally followed him in.
Since he came to this continent, except for closed-door cultivation, he was separated from Gu Yao for such a long time for the first time. He felt very uneasy and also understood his own thoughts better.
Ning Hui just watched the two figures disappear into the tent one after another. He didn't understand either of them. When Gu Yao was provoked and scolded by him as a waste, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations. Apart from someone who had lived for a long time and experienced too much, he couldn't think of anyone else who could do this. Could it be that he was an old monster who had taken over someone else's body?
And Chi Changye, his previous shot let him know that Lou Huaijing had no chance against Chi Changye at all. Even Lou Huaijing's survival might have something to do with Chi Changye not going all out. But such a powerful sword cultivator, when he was in front of Gu Yao, he was like a person who did everything according to Gu Yao's wishes. Why? Was that Gu Yao so good?
Ning Hui called someone over and whispered, "Find out what the background of that Chi Changye is."
"Yes, Ning Dan Master."
Lin *
The tent had its own isolation formation, made by Chi Changye himself, so Gu Yao felt relieved to tell him what happened after entering the secret realm, including killing three Changxian Sect cultivators with the cat cub, and everything that happened after entering the valley. Chi Changye listened and felt his mood fluctuate along with it.
When Gu Yao said that he took risks to save people, Chi Changye showed a disapproving look. Gu Yao tried to please him and said, "I thought I could handle it before I made a move. If those three people were too strong, I would definitely hide well, really!"
Chi Changye pointed out the crux of the matter: "It was three people, not two!"
He thought that with Gu Yao and the cat cub's combined strength, they could leave two people behind without any problem, but the key was that there were three, and the rescued cultivator named Su Yang clearly lost his fighting ability.
Gu Yao's expression stiffened. Sure enough, in order to justify himself, he had to make up one lie after another. Either he couldn't make up any more one day, or there was a leak in the middle. And he was becoming more and more defenseless towards Chi Changye, so it was very normal for him to slip up.
"Haha…" Xu Chen laughed mockingly in the space.
Chi Changye sighed in his heart. There must be something he didn't know that made Gu Yao dare to make a move, but seeing Gu Yao's embarrassed look, he didn't want to force him. He was just too worried just now and asked subconsciously.
He reached out and rubbed Gu Yao's head, slightly exerting force on his back of the head and hugged him in his arms.
Gu Yao didn't want to say anything, and he didn't force him.
Hearing the powerful heartbeat in his chest, Gu Yao woke up and raised his head embarrassedly. He didn't dare to look at Chi Changye's eyes, and he didn't know how to speak. "Actually… actually…"
"It's okay as long as you're not in danger. Xiao Yao doesn't have to tell me everything." Chi Changye said softly.
"No, it's just that I don't know how to say it," Gu Yao laughed dryly, and finally gave up and said, "Forget it, let the senior tell you himself."
Senior? Chi Changye's brow twitched.
Xu Chen was laughing maliciously, when suddenly his whole person, no, his soul was pulled out by a force. He switched scenes suddenly and didn't react in time, still maintaining that exaggerated expression.
This was good, two pairs of eyes facing each other.
The tent was silent for a few moments. Gu Yao was thinking about whether to break this weird atmosphere, when he saw Xu Chen turn around and return to his high and mighty appearance, looking like a fairy, very stylish. Gu Yao twitched his mouth a few times, still pretending, he had exposed himself at the first sight.
Chi Changye's eyes also became weird for a moment. He had to admit that this appearance of the senior made his guard slightly lower, but of course he couldn't lower it completely. He asked vigilantly, "Who is senior? Why are you by Xiao Yao's side?"
Xu Chen glared at Gu Yao a few times, blaming him for not giving him a heads up, letting him be caught off guard.
He raised his chin, showing a haughty look, and said, "Kid, be polite to senior. I'm also your half-life savior, and the other half is Gu Yao, this silly kid. Otherwise, do you think you were so lucky to have a spatial crack to escape when you were chased by someone in the secret realm?"
Chi Changye was shocked: "So senior was hiding in that secret realm? Why is senior by Xiao Yao's side?" Was it because he saw that Gu Yao was simple-minded and easy to control?
Seeing that Chi Changye still looked at him with a suspicious look, Xu Chen was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet. Gu Yao hurriedly pulled Chi Changye's sleeve and explained for Xu Chen: "Senior's physical body was gone a long time ago, only his soul remained, and he was attached to a treasure, which was the iron piece that I got when I gambled with Brother Ye at the market. Do you remember, Brother Ye?"
Now Chi Changye could connect the dots. So senior's soul could still control the treasure at that time, and he didn't know what method he used to open a spatial crack, and they both fell to the outskirts of Yuanyang Town on Tianlin Continent. He was picked up by the Gu family, and the iron piece that senior parasitized was picked up by some cultivator, and finally fell on Gu Yao.
Gu Yao simply told him that he had some treasures on him, and he felt a connection when he saw the iron piece. After merging, he found that senior was living in the space, and there was a pill pavilion in the space. He had been learning pill art with the help of the pill pavilion, and of course he also got a lot of guidance from senior.
This made Chi Changye understand more clearly where Gu Yao's brilliant pill art inheritance came from. Of course, the talent was Gu Yao's own, but people couldn't be born with knowledge. He had doubted it before, but now he had an explanation.
"So it was this senior who helped you deal with the third person?"
Gu Yao nodded: "I asked senior to help me control the formation, and trapped him in the formation first. After I solved the other two, I went to deal with him."
Chi Changye was much more relieved. Gu Yao was not impulsive, but brave and resourceful. He squeezed Gu Yao's hand and looked at Xu Chen with a guarded look. "The treasure is very important, and Xiao Yao must not reveal it to a third person in the future."
"Um, I knew it when I saw senior's situation." Gu Yao nodded seriously.
Xu Chen had a black line on his face, trying to kill Gu Yao with his eyes. Why did he use him as an example? It made him seem like he was stupider and dumber than Gu Yao. Look at himself, he was also loyal to Chi Changye, and he would know how powerful he was when he stabbed him in the back one day.
Chi Changye put away his guard against Xu Chen. There was no need to say anything in front of Xu Chen. Now if he really reminded Gu Yao of something, it would make Xu Chen unhappy and make him have other thoughts. So he said, "Senior wants Xiao Yao to help senior rebuild his body? I can also help with this, and Xiao Yao and I will do our best to achieve senior's goal."
Xu Chen saw that Chi Changye had compromised and smiled triumphantly, making Gu Yao unable to look at him.
"You kid are smart. I didn't save you in vain back then." Actually, saving people was not the main purpose at that time. Saving Chi Changye was just an incidental result that he achieved for his own sake.
Gu Yao looked at Xu Chen, then at Chi Changye. He always felt that Chi Changye's thoughts were not as simple as senior thought, but he wouldn't expose Chi Changye.
Chi Changye chatted with Xu Chen for a while. Although he couldn't dig out his details completely, he also learned some. It turned out that this senior had been living in the pill pavilion for a long time, and he was not a cultivator from the cultivation continent where Chi Changye was. This made him feel a little more relieved. It seemed that when he and Gu Yao went back together in the future, no one else would know about the existence of the pill pavilion, so the danger that Gu Yao faced would be reduced a bit.
He had never heard of such a treasure as the pill pavilion before.
Otherwise, if it was known to the world, Gu Yao might be suspected by others, unless he never showed his pill art, otherwise it would be a good result like Xu Chen.
Xu Chen stayed for a while and then went back. It was too exhausting to be outside, and it was not good for him.
Gu Yao told Chi Changye that he had taken a purple thunder bamboo for him in the valley. Chi Changye could only express his feelings by messing up Gu Yao's hair. But when he knew that the cat cub and Xu Chen also had a share, his strong joy was slightly reduced by a little bit, because he didn't have a unique share.
"Why didn't you take one for yourself?" He didn't ask Gu Yao to take out the purple thunder bamboo and give it to him, especially when he knew that Gu Yao had such a pill pavilion space. It was the safest to put it in there, otherwise once it appeared, the isolation formation of the tent here might not be able to guarantee that the breath would not leak out.
"I have a big bag of seeds left by the owner of the valley, and the memory and experience left by the owner of the valley." Gu Yao thought, he was the one who gained the most.
"Who was that senior?" Chi Changye was curious, who would leave such a place full of rare spirit plants in this secret realm, and it seemed that except for Gu Yao, no one else could take the second one.
Gu Yao had just sorted out some memories and guessed, "That senior seemed to be born good at planting these, maybe he came from a special race, or a special spirit race that could communicate with these spirit things."
Chi Changye pondered, "So, it's very likely that he was from an ancient special race." Rather than the descendants of the ancient hundred races, looking at it this way, his ability to plant spirit plants was very powerful.
