The two passersby who had been saved by Tuoba Beier were stunned when they heard Gu Wei address Sword Immortal and Tuoba Beier as Grand Ancestral Uncles, and even the three disciples of the Sword Immortal were called Little Grand Ancestral Uncles.
In that instant, their brains seemed to shrink, and they exchanged glances, both feeling that even if they combined their intellect, they wouldn't have enough for a single brain.
They could understand Tuoba Beier's high status; after all, she was a direct disciple of the Empress Houtu and the Holy Maiden of the Holy Emperor Palace. Considering the rumors about the Holy Emperor and Empress Houtu, the Holy Maiden could be considered half of the Gu family, so it was reasonable for City Lord Gu Wei to call her Grand Ancestral Aunt.
But the Sword Immortal being City Lord Gu Wei's Grand Ancestral Uncle?
Their shrunken brains instantly recovered. Could it be that the Sword Immortal was a disciple of the Holy Emperor?
The two men's thoughts changed rapidly, and in an instant, they thought of the most likely conclusion.
Because there was another thing that could support their guess.
The Sword Immortal was the junior brother of the Red-Clothed Fairy.
When this news came out, it caused an uproar among countless cultivators and major forces.
It was already rare for a single master to produce a peerless genius, but the Sword Immortal and the Red-Clothed Fairy came from the same master; this was an unprecedented event.
When the news first came out, some people jokingly said, "The Sword Immortal and the Red-Clothed Fairy wouldn't be disciples of the Holy Emperor, would they?" After saying it and laughing, no one took it seriously.
The biggest reason why no one took it seriously was because of the Sword Immortal.
The Sword Immortal's reputation shook the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and the greater his reputation, the more people wanted to understand his growth trajectory.
And so...
Knocking people out with a sap at Tian Duan Mountain... having the nickname Li Laoliu at the Human Dao Academy in Tianhuang Star... and claiming to be "White-Clothed Fly" in front of the Golden Ancient Prince, and other similar antics, were all dug up.
When the Sword Immortal's loyal fans learned of this information, most of them were silent.
Although they didn't believe that this was the Sword Immortal in their hearts, the fact was still the fact, and they could only accept it.
After all, his flaws didn't detract from his merits.
However, because of Li Beifei's various roguish acts back then, everyone believed that he couldn't be a disciple of the Holy Emperor.
But now...
The two men took a deep breath, their expressions extremely excited, as if they knew a huge secret.
Their breathing became rapid, and because they were too excited, the flesh on their faces trembled. Li Beifei and the others naturally noticed their abnormality.
"Are you alright?"
Li Beifei frowned slightly. Could it be that these two were like him, with damaged origins?
But when he scanned them with his divine sense, he only found that the blood flow of the two men in front of him was much faster than normal, and their heartbeats were also twice as fast as usual.
"Sword... Sword Immortal, we're fine, we're fine..."
The two, who had been enemies before, now spoke in unison with tacit understanding.
Wei Min's eyes narrowed slightly, and she came to Li Beifei's side, tiptoeing and whispering softly in his ear.
Li Beifei's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
Wei Min had the ability to perceive everything in the world. Although the two men's cultivation bases were a little higher than hers, they still couldn't escape her perception.
Wei Min sensed the thoughts in their hearts.
Li Beifei looked at Gu Wei, who was looking at him with a smile: "Martial Grand Uncle Beifei, what's wrong?"
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Li Beifei asked. He felt that Gu Wei had deliberately called him Grand Ancestral Uncle in front of those two passersby.
"Yes!" Gu Wei nodded, admitting it frankly.
"..."
Li Beifei didn't expect Gu Wei to admit it so generously, which made him feel like he had nowhere to exert his strength.
But this was in line with his perception of Gu Wei.
In fact, he and Gu Wei weren't familiar. He could count the number of times they had met on one hand. The most profound impression was when Gu Wei first appeared in front of the world.
At that time, in the Longevity Emperor Tomb, Gu Wei, with the cultivation base of a Saint King, killed an old Great Saint ancestor of the Taishi Holy Land.
He learned about Gu Wei from Gu Xiruo.
In the Gu family, besides the old guy and Gu Xichao, the one who doted on Gu Xiruo the most was Gu Wei.
Because Gu Xichao and Gu Xiruo were from the lineage of Gu Wei's younger brother.
And it could be seen from the fact that Gu Xiruo, when she was still a small cultivator in the Awakening Realm, wore a legendary Saint garment, how much Gu Wei doted on Gu Xiruo.
Even Gu Tianjun, the Divine Son of the Gu family, didn't have such treatment.
And he learned from Gu Xiruo that Gu Wei was a very lively and active person, deeply loved by the old guy.
Well, this was from Gu Xiruo's perspective. From Li Beifei's own perspective, Gu Wei was a very mischievous and belligerent person.
As for being deeply loved by the old guy, he thought it was normal.
The old guy not only favored girls over boys, but was also fond of grandchildren.
Gu Wei had both, so it would be strange if the old guy didn't like her.
He even felt that as long as he showed a little bit of blame now, the old guy would beat him up later with the excuse of "bullying the younger generation."
So...
"Sigh!"
Li Beifei let out a long sigh.
It was difficult to be this Grand Ancestral Uncle!
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, Li Beifei coughed a few times again, feeling a surge of heat passing through his throat, about to spurt out of his mouth. He quickly used his power to suppress it, but in the end, he still couldn't stop the blood from coming out.
Damn it, he used to watch that Flood Dragon use the Blood Escape Technique without any problems, but he only used it once, why was it so serious?
Li Beifei couldn't help but think of the Flood Dragon chasing him down in Tian Duan Mountain back then.
"Martial Grand Uncle Beifei, you..."
"Ahahaha, since it's all over, this isn't the place to talk. Why don't we find a place to chat?"
Li Beifei laughed loudly, giving Gu Wei a strong look, for fear that Gu Wei wouldn't cooperate.
Gu Wei understood his look and glanced at Wei Min and the others, so she smiled and said, "Why don't we go to my place?"
"Okay!"
Li Beifei was very anxious. He needed to find a quiet place to cultivate and heal his injuries now.
Wei Min felt that her master seemed a little anxious, but her master's cultivation base was too high, so she couldn't sense it. Even if she could sense it, she wouldn't do such a thing.
Perhaps it was because his identity was guessed, and to prevent more people from knowing, that's why he was anxious to leave?
Yes, it must be like this. Master is really low-key.
Wei Min admired him immensely in her heart.
So, the group followed Gu Wei towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Before leaving, Tuoba Beier didn't forget about her wine. She said to the two people she had saved, "I'll give you a chance to repay my kindness. Send a jar of every kind of wine in the city to the City Lord's Mansion. Also, don't spread today's events around."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
The two said gratefully.
And after the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Li Beifei used the excuse that "the battle just now gave me a new understanding" and asked Gu Wei for a cultivation room, then hurried off to cultivate in seclusion.
The three disciples didn't have any doubts about this at all. Yi Jifeng even said admiringly, "As expected of Master, enlightenment comes as soon as it's said."
"Yes, yes!"
Duanmu Yun and Wei Min both nodded.
Only Gu Wei and Tuoba Beier exchanged glances, their eyes filled with wry smiles.
On the other side, Houtu and Yun Wuyue in the Virtual God Realm both had a great change in their views of Li Beifei.
"Changsheng always said that this kid is a rebellious disciple, but this kid is extremely concerned about his disciples," Yun Wuyue sighed.
"If this kid was really as naughty as he said, how could he have accepted him as a disciple?" Houtu smiled.
"That's true," Yun Wuyue nodded, then suddenly chuckled, and then laughed heartily.
"What's wrong?" Houtu asked curiously.
"Sister, don't you think it's like Changsheng is gossiping behind his back when he calls this kid a rebellious disciple one after another? Who is he? The dignified Holy Emperor, with invincible cultivation, is actually gossiping. Just thinking about it makes me laugh, hahaha..."
Yun Wuyue laughed so hard that tears almost came out.
Houtu was stunned, and then also laughed softly.
"Achoo!"
In the Taixu Realm, Gu Changsheng, who was still fishing, sneezed again.
"There's no reason. I've completely shielded that kid. Even if I scold him again, he shouldn't be able to sense it."
A hint of doubt appeared on Gu Changsheng's face. In order to find out the truth, he calculated it slightly, and then...
His expression was awkward!
"Good, good, so you're arranging me behind my back when I'm not around."
Gu Changsheng smiled angrily. He stretched out his hands and then gently clapped towards the void.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Ouch!"
"Hmm!"
As two crisp sounds fell, Yun Wuyue and Houtu both stood up, and at the same time, they made sounds of different tones.
Yun Wuyue's was crisp, while Houtu's was muffled.
However, their faces were covered with blush, and they reached out to rub their upturned buttocks.
"This guy!" Houtu gritted her teeth, but her face was flushed, and even when she was angry, she had a lot of charm.
"Why didn't I see him so bold before?" Yun Wuyue said with a red face. She thought of the things she did to pursue Gu Changsheng in the Demon Realm back then.
If he had been as bold as he is today, she wouldn't have had to wait bitterly for 300,000 years.
...
After Li Beifei entered the cultivation room, he didn't immediately use his power to heal his injuries. Instead, he suppressed his injuries, but was contacting Old Six in his heart.
"Old Six, will my condition affect my foundation?" Li Beifei asked.
"You're not a greenhorn anymore. Do you still need to ask this kind of question? Loss of origin blood will naturally affect your foundation," Old Six complained.
"Damn, will it really be that serious?" Li Beifei was shocked. Before, when he saw others use the Blood Escape Technique, their faces only turned pale. He thought the problem wasn't big, but he didn't expect the sequelae to be so serious.
"Help me see if there's anything on me that can help me heal my injuries."
Li Beifei waved his hand, and the huge cultivation room was suddenly filled with all kinds of holy medicines. For a time, the fragrance of medicine filled the entire space.
"Don't even think about it. Even the Nine-Turn Life Renewal Pill can't heal your body. What are these garbage things?"
Old Six's tone was full of disdain.
"There's really no way?" Li Beifei's face was a little gloomy.
"There is, but before that, you have to honestly answer a question for me," Old Six said.
"What question?" Li Beifei asked.
"Do you regret it?" Old Six asked.
Li Beifei was stunned when he heard this, and said with a puzzled expression, "What do I regret? Why should I regret it?"
"Even if you don't come here, your three disciples will be fine. Do you regret doing this?" Old Six asked.
"Tch, I thought you were going to ask something. So it's this! What do I have to regret? They are my disciples. Once a teacher, always a father. If I knew they were in danger and I didn't care, then I would regret it," Li Beifei said with a snort, expressing his disdain for Old Six's question.
"It's good that you don't regret it!"
Old Six's tone was relaxed, and seemed to carry a hint of a smile.
"No, what's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly being sentimental?" Li Beifei suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"It's nothing. I just feel that it's time to completely merge with you. I don't want to regret it, so I asked you if you regret it," Old Six said.
"It turns out... wait, what did you say? Completely merge with me? Then what will happen to you?"
Li Beifei asked quickly.
"Are you stupid, kid? If I completely merge with you, I will naturally disappear," Old Six said with a contemptuous tone. This kid is really a bit unreliable. Would it be too much of a loss to merge with him?
"Is there no other way?" Li Beifei asked.
"Judging from your tone, you seem to be disliking me?" Old Six's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"..." Li Beifei.
Seeing that Li Beifei didn't speak, Old Six continued, "Whether you dislike me or not, I will eventually completely merge with you. This is my mission, and it is also the destiny of being a Hongmeng Purple Qi."
"Even if I don't merge with you, one day, I will merge with other creatures."
"Bullshit destiny," Li Beifei suddenly cursed. He felt a little upset.
"Forget it, I'll find a way myself. At worst, I'll go to my master's wife," Li Beifei said.
"It's too late!"
Old Six said.
Li Beifei was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Hey, don't mess around."
...
But Old Six didn't respond to him.
"Old Six, stop pretending to be dead, come out."
"Old Six!"
"Old Six!"
Old Six still didn't answer him.
"Old..."
Li Beifei wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that the injuries in his body had recovered, and his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was clearer than before. At this moment, he seemed to be able to see the essence of Heaven and Earth.
His cultivation base broke through a small realm silently.
But Li Beifei couldn't be happy at all.
"Damn it!"
Li Beifei punched the floor, and the powerful force of the fist punched a big hole in the floor.
But he didn't lose his mind, so he didn't cause any damage.
Although he knew that one day Old Six would completely merge with him, he never thought that it would be under such circumstances.
Li Beifei took a deep breath, calming the irritability in his heart.
He suddenly felt that although he was often beaten when he was young, he didn't have as many worries as he does now.
"This is growth!"
Li Beifei suddenly realized many things, and his kendo cultivation, which had stagnated for hundreds of years, actually showed a slight loosening.
Perhaps he could cultivate his substantial sword techniques to perfection before becoming an immortal!
...
