Calling Gu Tianjun 'Brother-in-law,' yet possessing a status that makes Gu Tianjun feel awkward, could naturally only be Ye Hongyi.
As Gu Changge's eldest disciple, Ye Hongyi was of the same generation as Gu Tianjun, but her seniority was shockingly high. It was fine for others, but Gu Tianjun was different. He was an unknown generation of descendants of Gu Changge, and should rightfully call Ye Hongyi 'Grand-Aunt Martial Ancestor.' However, Gu Tianjun was also engaged to Ye Hongyi's elder sister, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Ye Yuxian. According to etiquette, Ye Hongyi should also call him 'Brother-in-law.'
Wouldn't that mess up the seniority? That's why Gu Tianjun felt awkward.
Adding to this, the Gu family's traditions were strict and valued seniority highly, which was another source of Gu Tianjun's entanglement.
Fortunately, Ye Hongyi wasn't one to fuss over status. According to her, they could address each other as they pleased, which relieved Gu Tianjun.
However, every time he heard Ye Hongyi's voice, he would subconsciously want to call her 'Grand-Aunt Martial Ancestor.' This wasn't because Ye Hongyi was frightening, but because of his deeply ingrained family values.
"Hey, Brother-in-law, say something! My sister is getting impatient..."
"Hongyi, stop talking nonsense!"
The jade slip first transmitted Ye Hongyi's words, but before she could finish, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi interrupted her.
Hearing the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's words, Gu Tianjun came back to his senses. A warm smile appeared on his face as he said to the jade slip, "Wait for me a moment, I have a fight to fight here!"
"Who is so blind to provoke you, Brother-in-law? Don't tell me you're entangled with Qin Shaoshang again?"
Ye Hongyi asked in surprise.
Gu Tianjun couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Qin Shaoshang's name. Qin Shaoshang's strength was very strong, but slightly weaker than him. However, since entering the Ancient Starry Road, he had been constantly challenging him, losing repeatedly, yet trying again and again. Over the millennia, they had fought no less than a hundred times. In each fight, Gu Tianjun won with a slight advantage. This didn't dampen Qin Shaoshang's confidence; instead, it became his motivation to move forward. Every time he came, Qin Shaoshang would be stronger than before.
"It's not him, it's someone else, someone I haven't heard of before!" Gu Tianjun responded softly.
"Someone you haven't heard of? Then he must be an unknown nobody trying to become famous by fighting you. Hurry up and get rid of him. My sister and I came from Tianchi Ancient Star and are tired from the journey. Right, Sister!"
The jade slip transmitted Ye Hongyi's playful voice.
Lin Yan, on the other side, felt a flash of anger in his eyes when he heard Ye Hongyi call him an unknown nobody. He snorted coldly and said to Gu Tianjun, "Are you going to fight or not? If not, admit defeat early, lest your broken face affects your meeting with your woman."
On the warship, Xiao Sanlang clicked his tongue in wonder: "Tsk tsk, they really stepped on Brother Lin's sore spot. He hates it most when people call him an unknown nobody. That kid probably won't be able to meet his lover in one piece."
"What a pity, he actually has a Dao companion." Fairy Ziyu looked at Gu Tianjun with a face full of regret.
"Cough cough!"
At this time, even the middle-aged man protecting them couldn't stand it anymore. He had heard before that although Fairy Ziyu came from a famous family, she herself was a fan of good looks. Whenever she met a handsome man, she would look and talk more. He originally thought this was an exaggeration, but after experiencing it himself, he realized that the legends were not exaggerated.
"Brother-in-law, who is the person on the other side? He's so arrogant, saying he's going to break your face!"
The jade slip transmitted Ye Hongyi's curious voice. It was the first time she had heard someone say they were going to break Gu Tianjun's face.
"I won't say anymore, I'll make a quick decision and then go find you!"
After speaking, Gu Tianjun cut off the connection.
On the other side, on a peak called Dingjun Mountain, two tall and slender fairies stood on the summit. Ye Hongyi, dressed in red, shrugged at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and said, "He hung up."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi glared at her, then shook her head helplessly. In the eyes of others, the red-clothed fairy, who was like an ice mountain goddess, was actually a mischievous little girl. Just now, she deliberately said that others were "unknown nobodies" to provoke them, wasn't she?
At this time, Gu Tianjun carefully put away the jade slip, then looked at Lin Yan, then at the people on the warship, and finally said, "I'm in a hurry, why don't you all come together?"
"Bold!"
"Arrogant!"
"Just a small fish in a pond, yet you dare to despise a true dragon. It seems that you have been in this backward world for too long, and you really think you are invincible."
Cold and angry voices came from the warship. They considered themselves to be from a higher-level world than the mortal world, and from beginning to end did not take the creatures of the mortal world seriously. For them, this expedition was not to compete with the creatures of this world, but to conquer them, so that they would know that there is always someone better, and there is always a sky beyond the sky.
"Rumble!"
But at this moment, the space in the sky collapsed. The scene was terrifying, like the end of the world, shocking everyone beyond compare.
Who else is coming?
The people on the warship also looked towards the collapsing space.
Only Gu Tianjun's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. From the aura emanating from the collapsing space, he knew who it was.
"Bang!"
A jet-black wolf-fang club shot out from the space, heavily smashing into the earth, smashing a huge pit in the ground. Then, someone saw a burly figure standing in the collapsing space. What shocked everyone was that the space blades that could easily tear through the flesh of a saint fell on the figure as if they had turned into a breeze, and could not cause any damage to it at all.
"Gu Tianjun, I finally found you, I have broken through, come and fight me!"
Before the figure could walk out of the space, the low voice was like muffled thunder, causing the onlookers to feel an extremely powerful pressure in their hearts, almost suffocating them.
"Who is that person? His real body is not in this star field, but in another distant star field. He forcibly opened the space channel, is he not afraid of being robbed?"
Someone saw that the figure was still very far away from Changliu Ancient Star, but he used his powerful strength to forcibly open a shortcut channel to descend here.
"Very strong!"
The people on the warship also showed a trace of solemn expression.
"Gu Tianjun, is that him?" Someone looked at Gu Tianjun. Gu Tianjun had never said his name before, so they didn't know.
"Rumble!"
The space shattered, and the figure finally descended into this world. He was over nine feet tall, naked from the upper body, revealing strong muscles and bronze skin, wearing a tiger skin skirt on the lower body, and a pair of big feet barefoot, like a savage.
"It's him, the joint heir of Qinling and Undying Mountain, Qin Shaoshang!"
Someone recognized Qin Shaoshang, the heir jointly cultivated by the two immortal forces of Qinling Qin Family and Undying Mountain, only Qin Shaoshang!
Qin Shaoshang walked to the black wolf-tooth club, easily lifted it with one hand, and then looked at Gu Tianjun, exuding an extremely powerful aura.
"Gu Tianjun, I'm here to find you again, this time I must defeat you!" Qin Shaoshang said loudly.
Gu Tianjun couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. Over the millennium, Qin Shaoshang had said this countless times, and the result was that he was defeated every time.
He didn't expect that he would be found by Qin Shaoshang as soon as he left the customs. If he didn't get rid of him, then he wouldn't want to see his fiancée.
It's really one wave after another!
