"Who said that? Don't you still have me now? Uncle Master!"
Gu Yuan was stunned by what Lin Wan'er blurted out, and the two uncles behind him made him smile bitterly. He didn't expect Lin Wan'er to be so naughty.
"The first part is quite heartwarming, but what about the uncle-in-law in the latter part? Am I the youngest one?" Gu Yuan asked with a smile.
"Hehe, you are Master's friend. Although Master and I haven't been together for a long time, I heard from Senior Sister that Master seems to have become a different person since you appeared. He is often absent-minded. I'm afraid he is thinking about you!" Lin Wan'er said with a pout.
“Cough cough cough…”
Gu Yuan almost choked on his own saliva. He looked at Lin Wan'er with a wry smile and asked, "What nonsense is that girl Xiao Hanhan telling you? Isn't she afraid that Gu Shang will find out and punish her?"
"Hey, don't you know?"
Lin Wan'er looked at Gu Yuan and said with a smile.
"Okay, stop imagining it. I came here today because I have something important to tell you."
Gu Yuan closed the door of the room and confirmed that there was nothing unusual before he said seriously, "I want you to join the Huoyun Sect!"
"Huh? Why?"
Lin Wan'er asked in surprise, not understanding why Gu Yuan suddenly mentioned this.
After gathering his thoughts, Gu Yuan said, "It's like this. You know what happened between us and the Lingshan Sect some time ago. This time they lost two elders, who were their pillars. They will definitely not give up, so I'm ready to do something big!"
"Do something big? What big thing?"
Lin Wan'er put away the smile on her face. She knew that since Gu Yuan had spoken, it must be something extremely important.
"They provoked us first this time. The death of those two elders is no one's fault. So if the Lingshan Cult keeps pestering us, I will destroy them!"
When Gu Yuan said this, Lin Wan'er's mouth was so shocked that an egg could fit in it.
After a while, as if realizing her loss of composure, Lin Wan'er finally recovered and asked in shock, "Did I hear correctly? You want to kill them? Are you kidding?"
Lin Wan'er simply couldn't believe it. She had been ill before, and although she had hardly ever stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, she also knew that Lingshan Sect was a big sect nearby. It was said that its leader had already stepped half a foot into the Spirit King realm. As long as he reached the Spirit King realm, Lingshan Sect would instantly become the same existence as Huoyun Sect!
This is the absolute strength of the Spirit King!
Although the leader of Lingshan Sect is not a Spirit King, being a half-step Spirit King is no joke. What's more, Gu Yuan is just a small fifth-level spiritualist now, not even as good as her!
"Don't get so excited. Since I said that, I must have a perfect plan. I won't seek death." Gu Yuan said.
At this moment, Lin Wan'er suddenly thought of something.
"I once heard Sister Yu'er say that you took over 30% of the Xiao family's assets. Could it be that there is some expert helping you secretly?" Lin Wan'er asked.
Gu Yuan smiled and didn't answer.
"Now that you know all this, you should understand that I'm not alone. I have enough power behind me to destroy the Lingshan Sect, so don't worry."
"But what is your purpose? Just because they provoked you, you want to destroy their entire sect? Isn't that a bit cruel?"
Lin Wan'er is kind by nature and has a different attitude towards Gu Yuan's words.
Gu Yuan glanced at Lin Wan'er, his expression turning serious. He said, "Wan'er, you haven't experienced this, so you might not understand. In this world, there's often no right or wrong; the bigger the fist, the more truth there is. Why do they dare to come and provoke us? It's because they think I'm weak, and they have the behemoth Lingshan Sect behind them!"
"But there are nearly a thousand disciples of Lingshan Sect. Let's not talk about whether you can handle them or not. Do you want to kill all of them?" Lin Wan'er asked.
Gu Yuan rolled his eyes at Lin Wan'er and said, "When did I say I was going to kill them all? I'm planning to destroy the Lingshan Sect, but the Lingshan Sect is like a tree. If the taproot is cut, how can they survive? I'm targeting people like the Sect Leader and a few elders. As for the rest, as long as they don't provoke me, I don't care whether they live or die."
Lin Wan'er's expression brightened slightly, but she still asked in confusion, "What good will it do you to destroy them? And what does this have to do with you asking me to join the Huoyun Sect?"
"What I'm saying is based on the fact that the Lingshan Sect is still holding on to the two elders. If they keep doing this, the Lingshan Sect will be destroyed! By then, who do you think will still be unaware of the Abyss Pawnshop? I want to use this opportunity to make the Abyss Pawnshop known to the world."
"As for why I want you to join the Huoyun Sect, it's because the Huoyun Sect is unlike the Lingshan Sect. They've been around for a hundred years, even longer than the founding of the empire. Their foundation and strength are profound. The Huoyun Conference will be held in three months, and I want you to participate in the competition and then join the Huoyun Sect. Firstly, it's a plan for your future, and secondly, it can be considered as training for you! After all, if you want to practice, you can't just stay in the City Lord's Mansion every day! Only by constantly competing can you fully utilize the advantages of your extremely cold body. What do you think?"
Lin Wan'er said somewhat embarrassedly, "But I have no actual combat experience, and I've only just started practicing martial arts and spiritual skills. In three months, can I defeat so many opponents and enter the Huoyun Sect?"
Gu Yuan waved his hand, looked at Lin Wan'er and said with a smile, "You are already a ninth-level spiritualist now. You will definitely break through to the spiritual master level in three months, right? A sixteen-year-old spiritual master is standing there. Do you think the Huoyun Sect will care about the rules? Why don't they just politely invite you back to the Huoyun Sect?"
Yes! Sixteen-year-old spiritual master Lin Wan'er has a heaven-defying physique that she cultivates even in her sleep. If the Fire Cloud Sect doesn't want her, it would be really blind.
"But I always feel a little guilty." Lin Wan'er said.
Gu Yuan smiled helplessly, "So you mean you agree?"
"Yes! You are right. Just practicing is useless. Without actual combat, I will never be able to become a strong person. Just like I am now a ninth-level spiritualist, but I definitely cannot beat you, a fifth-level spiritualist."
Lin Wan'er nodded firmly. Becoming stronger was also her wish.
The corner of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched. Is this girl deliberately poking at someone's sore spot?
"It's okay. When I have time in the future, I will take you out for some actual combat to gain some experience against the enemy. Do you think this is okay?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Okay, okay! I haven't fought yet!" Lin Wan'er said excitedly.
"Battle is not a fight! You'll find out later!"
"Then when are we going?" There seemed to be stars in Lin Wan'er's eyes, and she looked very excited.
Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I'll take you there when I have time. It will be quick!"
Lin Wan'er's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but she quickly hid it and said, "You said it, remember it!"
"Um!"
Gu Yuan nodded, and his plan finally took another step forward.
