Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Li Beifei's neck seemed to stiffen as he slowly turned his head. His expression changed when he saw the figure in green.
"Old... Master... Master?"
"Greetings, Senior Gu!"
Xuan Mingzi and Bai Yifei immediately stood up and respectfully greeted Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng gave them a warm smile and said, "Not bad, not bad, your cultivation hasn't fallen behind. Xuan Mingzi, your cultivation has even surpassed my rebellious disciple. Very good."
Faced with Gu Changsheng's praise, the two scratched their heads, looking embarrassed. Especially Xuan Mingzi, whose cultivation might have surpassed Li Beifei, but his strength was far behind.
Li Beifei, upon hearing this, curled his lip, thinking he just didn't want to break through yet.
"Your manners are also much better than this rebellious disciple of mine." Gu Changsheng looked at Li Beifei still sitting on the chair, unmoving, a faint smile on his lips.
Li Beifei was startled and quickly stood up, explaining, "Master, let me explain, no, let me explain. Your sudden appearance really startled me, I just didn't react in time."
"Oh? Are you saying that your master looks scary?" Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"No, no... Master, you are handsome and elegant, how could you look scary? I mean..."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation, let's just skip to the next step!" Gu Changsheng said.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Li Beifei said with a worried look, there were so many people here.
Gu Changsheng ignored him, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up. Then he said to Bai Yifei and Xuan Mingzi, "I have some family matters to deal with."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Beifei's figure flew out like a shooting star, crashing into the courtyard wall with a "boom," creating a large hole.
Such a large commotion naturally attracted the attention of others.
Diviner, Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter, and the Liu sisters, Yanran and Yuran, all came out of their rooms.
"Holy..."
Diviner was about to speak when his disciple stopped him. Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter said, "Master, Yifei doesn't know the Holy Emperor's identity yet, don't put too much pressure on him."
Diviner nodded and then remained silent.
"Master, Young Master, what are you doing...?"
Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran saw Li Beifei lying motionless in the ruins, their faces full of worry, but they didn't know what to do.
"Young Master is fine, you don't need to worry," Li Beifei finally said.
What followed was naturally a scene of intimate interaction between master and disciple, which amazed onlookers. It was truly wonderful.
A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter. She knew Gu Changsheng's identity, but it was precisely because she knew that she was full of curiosity about this scene.
Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter secretly transmitted her voice to Bai Yifei, asking, "Yifei, does Senior Gu have some kind of feud with Young Master Li?"
Bai Yifei smiled and replied, "Jiu'er, you don't know, this is an interaction that must take place when Brother Li and Senior Gu meet. It's all because Brother Li is too mouthy and always makes Senior Gu unhappy."
"I see." Heavenly Eye Royal Daughter nodded. Over this period, she had already experienced Li Beifei's mouthy skills. Even her master had been angered several times.
The Liu sisters, Yanran and Yuran, watched their young master being brutally beaten by their master, feeling sorry for him.
After a while, Gu Changsheng brushed the dust off his body and casually carried Li Beifei back by the neck.
"This rebellious disciple is undisciplined, please forgive me!" Gu Changsheng said lightly.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran immediately came to Li Beifei's side, who was bruised and swollen, and began to ask him questions with concern.
But Li Beifei kept his eyes closed and remained silent.
"Young Master, Young Master..."
The two women called out a few more times.
"Shh!" Li Beifei opened his eyes and shushed them, "I'm fine!"
"Really?" They didn't believe it. He had been beaten until his face was twice as swollen, how could he be fine?
"Young Master is used to it, hehe." A sincere... ugly smile appeared on Li Beifei's face, as if he had gained something from being beaten.
He did gain something. During the beating, another surge of blood energy rainbow was born in his body. Now there were already sixteen blood energy rainbows, and he had taken another small step on the path of achieving sainthood through physical body. How could he not be happy?
"Yanran, go and inform Brother Shangguan and Miss Yan," Li Beifei said to Liu Yanran.
"Yes!" Liu Yanran responded and left as a stream of light.
Gu Changsheng walked to a distance with Diviner.
"How is it?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"I have gained some insights!" Diviner said.
"When can you break through?" Gu Changsheng asked.
Diviner heard this, his face full of bitter smiles, and said, "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me, right? How long have I found a successor? You also look down on the shackles between Immortal Emperor and Breaking Dao too much, right?"
Who knew that Gu Changsheng would nod and say, "Indeed, I look down on it."
"..." Diviner.
I didn't say let you compare with me.
Gu Changsheng patted Diviner on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up, when Houtu comes out of seclusion, she will conquer the myriad realms."
Diviner was sweating, he muttered, "Clearly he can help Mother Houtu unify the myriad realms, why doesn't he take action?"
"Huh? Are you talking about me?" Gu Changsheng didn't walk two steps, turned around and looked at Diviner.
"No, no, I said I will definitely work hard and strive to break through before Mother Houtu comes out of seclusion," Diviner said with a stiff face. He didn't want to be beaten like Li Beifei. It would be fine in other places, but here were his precious disciple and his disciple's future husband, he couldn't lose face in front of them.
"I hope you do what you say," Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
Diviner's heart trembled, is this a threat? This counts as a threat!
Diviner now regretted bragging, now he could only pray that Mother Houtu wouldn't come out of seclusion so quickly.
Li Beifei had also recovered at this time, he came to Gu Changsheng with a smile and said, "Master, you came to pick us up, right?"
"Nonsense, if I wasn't here to pick you up, I wouldn't want to see you, this rebellious disciple." Gu Changsheng glanced at Liu Yuran beside him, this kid, in his previous life, Bei Chen was destined to be plagued by misfortune, single for life, but in this life, he was plagued by桃花, his luck with women was endless, but ah, whether it was good luck or a tribulation, it depended on this kid.
Li Beifei didn't care about Gu Changsheng's words, he smiled and said, "Then you wait, I have two more friends who want to go back together."
Soon, Liu Yanran brought Shangguan Jinfei and Yan Dandan back.
"Are all the people here?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"They're all here!"
Li Beifei nodded obediently.
"Then let's go!" Gu Changsheng waved his hand and left this world he opened up with everyone.
At this time, the Seven Star Sword Sect, up and down, were preparing to welcome the return of their Sect Master!
