Ye Hongyi turned around and saw a familiar figure coming into view. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw this figure.
"Xiruo!"
The person who came was Gu Xiruo, whom she hadn't seen for over twenty years. Behind her was a young man with a blank expression, simply following Gu Xiruo. If Gu Xiruo took a step forward, he would also take a step forward, always maintaining a distance of three steps between them.
When Gu Xiruo saw Ye Hongyi, a hint of astonishment flashed across her face, and then she said with pleasant surprise, "Red Red Martial Grand-Aunt Sister, why are you here too?"
Ye Hongyi's originally happy expression immediately collapsed when she heard Gu Xiruo's address. She said with a wry smile, "What kind of address is that?"
Gu Xiruo walked quickly to Ye Hongyi, and the young man behind her also quickly followed, the three-step distance remaining unchanged, revealing strangeness everywhere.
Gu Xiruo came to Ye Hongyi and seemed very happy. She said with a smile, "You are the disciple of Ancestor Grandfather, so according to seniority, you are naturally my Martial Grand-Aunt, but I'm used to calling you sister, so I call you Martial Grand-Aunt Sister!"
"Why don't you just call me sister? I'm not used to hearing that," Ye Hongyi said, still remembering when Gu Xiruo first called her sister. She had said that she couldn't call her sister, but after being called that many times, she got used to it. Now that she was being called Martial Grand-Aunt, she felt embarrassed. After all, she was only three or four years older than Gu Xiruo. Suddenly giving her such a super-duper increase in seniority, how could she get used to it?
But Gu Xiruo shook her head and said, "No, no, it was fine before when I didn't know, ignorance is bliss. But now that I know, I can't continue to be wrong."
The Gu family was the number one family in the desolate ancient times, with strict family rules, especially when it came to seniority. Even Gu Youxian had to call Li Beifei Little Martial Uncle in private, which showed how much the Gu family valued seniority.
In fact, the longer a family or force had been passed down, the more importance they placed on seniority, and the Gu family was no exception.
Seeing this, Ye Hongyi shook her head helplessly. However, she was very curious as to how Gu Xiruo knew about her and her master's affairs, so she asked.
Gu Xiruo said, "Do you remember when the Dean gave us half a year's vacation before the Starry Sky Ancient Road opened?"
Ye Hongyi nodded. Of course, she remembered. She also remembered that it was her sister, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, who sent her and Sister Mu back to Demon Suppression City in the Eastern Region.
"Hehe, when Tianjun and I returned to the Gu family, we learned that you and Beifei Martial Grand-Uncle Brother were both disciples of Ancestor Grandfather. We were all very surprised at the time, especially Tianjun, who kept talking about Beifei Martial Grand-Uncle Brother after learning about this."
Gu Xiruo said with a smile.
Back then, Gu Tianjun was pestered by Li Beifei for a VIP card from Drunken Immortal Residence. Gu Tianjun was very unaccustomed to Li Beifei's familiarity at the time, and he suddenly understood when he learned Li Beifei's identity.
"I see," Ye Hongyi suddenly understood.
"By the way, who is he..." Ye Hongyi looked at the man behind Gu Xiruo.
"He, he is..." Gu Xiruo pondered for a long time, and finally said, "He is a very, very, very good friend of mine, named Lin Tian!"
Gu Xiruo used the word "very" three times in a row to describe Lin Tian.
"Oh?" Ye Hongyi looked at Lin Tian in surprise. She found that only when Gu Xiruo mentioned his name would his expression change, but the change was so subtle that Ye Hongyi almost didn't notice it. It seemed that this Lin Tian cared about Xiruo very much.
"Are you really just friends?" Ye Hongyi teased Gu Xiruo, "Speaking of which, Xiruo, you've reached the age to get married, haven't you?"
Gu Xiruo's face turned slightly red when she heard this, and she said嬌聲, "Red Red Martial Grand-Aunt Sister, you're making fun of me."
"Hehehe..." Ye Hongyi giggled. As expected, it was just as she expected, but what kind of magic did this Lin Tian have that he could attract the little princess of the Gu family?
"By the way, Xiruo, what are you doing here?"
Ye Hongyi asked.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot the business. Sister Yuxian told me to take care of the remnants of the Black Mountain Sect when she left. After several years of investigation, the last remnant of the Black Mountain Sect, Hei Yun, has changed his name to Black Wind Mountain Demon and is hiding in this Black Wind Mountain. Lin Tian and I are here today to get rid of him,"
Gu Xiruo said.
"Wait, Xiruo, did you just say that Sister Yuxian left?" Ye Hongyi asked quickly. The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's secular name was Ye Yuxian, so she was naturally the Sister Yuxian that Gu Xiruo was talking about.
"Yes, she left six years ago. I was in closed-door cultivation at the time, so I didn't go with her," Gu Xiruo nodded.
"How could this be?" Ye Hongyi was a little disappointed. She didn't expect that she was still one step late.
Could it be that she had to ask her master to take action? If she bothered her master with this kind of thing, then she would be too insensible.
"However, Sister Yuxian left me a token before she left, saying that as long as I have this token, I can use it to contact her and find her in the Starry Sky Ancient Road." Gu Xiruo took out a piece of ancient jade with a simple aura. The aura emanating from the ancient jade was exactly Ye Yuxian's aura.
Ye Hongyi's eyes lit up. This was simply a case of 'the willow trees make shade, the flowers give light' (a glimmer of hope in a hopeless situation).
"Miss, the matter has been taken care of."
At this moment, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Peng Ancient Clan walked out of the cave with an oil lamp in his hand. The lamp oil in the lamp was Hei Yun's soul. One could vaguely see Hei Yun's figure in the lamp oil. He was being burned at this time, emitting silent pain.
Ye Hongyi said to Gu Xiruo, "Hei Yun has already been brought to justice." Then, she told Gu Xiruo the news she had obtained from Black Wind Town.
After hearing this, Gu Xiruo's pretty face was full of frost, and she said through gritted teeth, "This Hei Yun, it's really hard to change one's nature. As expected, there was a reason why Sister Yuxian told me to clear the remnants of the Black Mountain Sect. If this kind of person is left in the world, I don't know how many innocent mortals will suffer. Red Red Martial Grand-Aunt Sister, you did very well. This kind of person should be tortured."
Ye Hongyi nodded, and then a trace of hesitation flashed across her face.
"Red Red Martial Grand-Aunt Sister, is something wrong?" Gu Xiruo was no longer the weak little girl who needed others to protect her. Now she was able to stand on her own, so she could naturally see that Ye Hongyi had something to say to her.
Ye Hongyi was silent for a while, and finally decided to tell Gu Xiruo what she wanted to say.
