Gui Hai Fu Chen's lips twitched as he looked at Gui Hai Jing Chen, who had come with him.
Gui Haijingchen paused for a moment before saying, "We did not escape in the face of danger; I misunderstood Father's meaning."
"Father meant that I should invite everyone from the Supreme Temple to the Guihai family as guests. I was foolish and failed to understand Father's meaning in time. Please forgive me, Venerable One."
Sky raised an eyebrow. The Gui family was actually willing to let one of their sons humiliate himself like this in order to shirk responsibility.
Such a family has been able to survive for thousands of years; it's just good luck.
Sky chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Your Guihai family is truly ruthless, but not all that great. Once you've done something, you have to admit it. No matter whose fault it is, it's still your Guihai family's fault."
Gui Hai Fuchen thought to himself, 'Old fox, if it weren't for the need to investigate your origins, I would have already made my move.'
Although he thought this in his heart, his smile remained unchanged. "Peak Master, how can we turn hostility into friendship?"
Upon hearing this through her mental power, Shu Jianyue immediately transmitted her voice to Tiankong, saying, "[Find out indirectly who the Guihai family's superior is. Our Supreme Divine Palace isn't lacking in resources, but we do possess absolute strength.]"
Sky raised an eyebrow and looked at Guihai Fuchen, saying, "We've said before that our Supreme Temple has nothing to lack."
"However, if you have a better and more powerful force to introduce that can help our Supreme Temple take another step forward, then that's another story."
Gui Hai Fu Chen's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "I need to inform my father about this matter. I ask the Peak Master to grant me two more days."
Tian Rong smiled sincerely, "Then thank you very much, young master Gui Hai. If it works out, we'll be family friends."
Gui Hai Fu Chen Xiao started to feel a little reluctant. He clearly wanted them to become his subordinates, but they wanted to become his peers.
A hint of a smile appeared in Gui Haijingchen's eyes, but he quickly hid it.
Sky began to openly and secretly inquire about who the Guihai family's superiors were, but the young master of the Guihai family was not really stupid, and naturally he was wary of him.
Shu Fengyue was too lazy to watch them work on the mechanism, so she withdrew her mental energy and continued to teach Yan Xi and Wu Yan how to refine pills.
After the Guihai family left, Tiankong came directly to report.
“Master, the Gui family are all shrewd people. No matter how I try to find out their information, I can’t.”
Shu Jianyue rolled her eyes at him. "Just because someone says they're stupid, you actually believe they're dumb?"
"After all, it is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if there are bad seeds occasionally, they can't be too bad."
"Don't worry, if the Gui family is truly sincere in their friendship, they will come again."
Sky scratched his head and said, "I'm too lazy to deal with them, it's too much of a hassle."
He still prefers to take action directly when he sees something he can't stand, without having to worry about anything else.
Shu Jianyue said helplessly, "You have the energy to train those spirit beasts, but not the energy to deal with them?"
"Or, I'll reward you with a basket of spirit fruits every time they come?"
The sky first lit up, then dimmed again. "Master, you usually give me spirit fruits as rewards. Isn't this too hasty?"
Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow at him, "Otherwise what? Besides spirit fruits, all I have left are spirit herbs. You don't want spirit fruits, you want spirit herbs?"
The sky silently lowered its head, choosing the spiritual fruit over the elixir.
Chong Jiu took out a magical artifact from his spatial storage and tossed it to Tian Kong, saying, "Then this will be the reward."
Tiankong took it and saw that it was a celestial-grade spiritual weapon, which suited his needs perfectly.
The special material that Master gave me before was also very good, but it's not very suitable for use as your cultivation level increases.
He was afraid of breaking it, so he didn't use it much.
Sky took his broadsword and went outside to practice. They could hear the whooshing sound of the broadsword cutting through the air even while they were sitting inside.
Shu Jianyue smiled and looked at Chong Jiu, saying, "You've hit the nail on the head."
“This knife is useless to me, so it’s perfect to give it to him.” Seeing that Yu Chuan was distracted by their conversation, Chong Jiu slapped him across the face. “Focus your attention.”
Sure enough, just two days later, Gui Hai Fu Chen and Gui Hai Jing Chen visited again.
At the same time, Chongjiu received a message from Honglang, saying that he had found the upper-level power of the Guihai family.
Chong Jiu and Shu Jianyue exchanged a glance.
It all depends on whether the force Gui Hai mentioned is the one Hong Lang investigated.
Shu Jianyue used her spiritual power to observe them, and her brows furrowed after hearing Gui Haifuchen's words.
"We are from the same family, the Tiande Sect."
He then looked at Chong Jiu and said, "Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
The moment they agreed, Honglang found out.
“It is somewhat of a coincidence,” Chong Jiu nodded.
"Let's take a look first. I'll have Honglang investigate further. It's possible that it's just a coincidence."
Shu Jianyue nodded, "I'll have Tiankong inquire further and see if Guihai Fuchen knows anything."
To her disappointment, she couldn't get anything out of him.
Chongjiu sent a message to Honglang, instructing her to thoroughly investigate the Tiande Sect and find out who its leader was.
Chong Jiu felt somewhat helpless. Checking things layer by layer like this was the most troublesome thing to do, but it was the only way to do it now.
It's all because he only cared about cultivation and didn't care about anything else. He only knew a handful of gods in the entire Upper God Realm, and even fewer of them were close friends.
If even your own guardian beast isn't trustworthy, how can your so-called friends be trusted?
