Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Well, since you said so, I can't be low-key anymore, right? Otherwise, I'll seem hypocritical. If you say so, then it's true. In fact, I'm just an ordinary person. The biggest reason why Mu Tianxing lost to me is what I just said, that is, underestimating the enemy. And I took advantage of his underestimation of the enemy, so I used my strongest means right away. I can feel that Mu Tianxing still has many means that he hasn't used. But because I caught him off guard, he didn't have the chance to use them. If he had been given the opportunity to use them, then I would have been the loser."
Gu Ting raised an eyebrow and said, "Being able to take advantage of his underestimation and defeat him is also part of your strength."
"Okay, okay, stop praising me. I feel like I'm floating in the air if you keep praising me." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"How are you doing now? Do you plan to go to the oasis to find the flying tiger after you recover?" Gu Yuan asked.
Gu Ting nodded and said, "That's right. The flying tiger you mentioned is called the Golden-Eyed Tiger. I was injured by it before in the oasis. It caught me off guard. And it is indeed very powerful. I am no match for it alone."
"Since you know you are no match for it, why are you still looking for it now? Is it because of your family mission?" Gu Yuan asked.
"You are right. This trip to the oasis is the task I accepted from the family. It is the only way for me to compete for the qualification of the family patriarch's successor. Anyone who wants to become the family patriarch's successor must stand out among the younger generations, otherwise they will not be eligible to compete for this qualification at all." Gu Ting said.
"It seems that the competition within your family is very fierce. How is your injury recovering now?"
"My spiritual energy has begun to gradually recover. In about three or four days, my spiritual energy should be fully restored. The injuries on my body are almost completely healed."
"But before that, I have a request."
Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and said, "I'd like you to come with me to the oasis to deal with that droopy-eyed golden tiger. I'm no match for it alone, and even after my spiritual energy recovers, I still won't be a match for it. You're already an eighth-level spiritual master, just one level lower than me, and that droopy-eyed golden tiger is probably about the second or third-level spiritual master. If we join forces, we shouldn't have any problems."
"Invite me to go with you to the oasis to deal with the golden-eyed tiger with hanging eyes? You think too highly of me. Although I can defeat Mu Tianxing, you also know that this is a special case. Mu Tianxing has suppressed his strength to the seventh-level spiritual master. The golden-eyed tiger with hanging eyes is so powerful that you are not its opponent. What's the point of me going there when I am weaker than you? Besides, it already has the strength of a spiritual master. I don't think it can be dealt with so easily. Does it have any unknown means? You don't know these things. It is definitely not possible for the two of us to go there." Gu Yuan hesitated and said directly.
"I can give you enough compensation. I think your strength is enough. Although you are only an eighth-level spiritual master, I think your current combat power is enough to match the strength of a first to second-level spiritual master." Gu Ting said seriously.
"Plus, I still have some tricks and trump cards that I didn't use last time. This time, as long as you can hold it back and let me use my tricks, I can at least severely injure the golden-eyed tiger. Then we can look for another opportunity. Killing it will definitely not be a big problem."
"Why are you so obsessed with killing this golden-eyed tiger? If you want to find something in the oasis, you can completely avoid it." Gu Yuan said.
Gu Ting shook her head and said, "I originally entered the oasis with full confidence, but last time I encountered the Golden Crystal Tiger, I realized that my preparation was not as good as I imagined. The Golden Crystal Tiger is very powerful, but it was also because of my inadequate preparation that the last operation failed and even caused the death of two of my guards there."
"So, this is also the reason why you want to kill the Golden Crystal Tiger with Hanging Eyes? To avenge your two guards?" Gu Yuan asked.
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Yes! My own misjudgment led to the deaths of my two guards. I am deeply sorry. As the murderer of them, the Golden-Eyed Tiger, I must kill it to avenge them."
Gu Yuan sighed and said soothingly, "Alas, your guards' death wasn't your fault. It's mainly because the strength of the Golden-Eyed Tiger far exceeded your imagination. Moreover, monsters are much stronger than humans. If it weren't for this, even you would have died. As the guards of your Gu family, they must have been mentally prepared long ago, and they also know their responsibilities. You should feel fortunate that they have fulfilled their true duty as guards. They are the pride of your Gu family."
"Although they were only two guards, to me, they were also two living lives. They could have been saved, but because of me, they died in the oasis. I must kill the Golden-Eyed Tiger to avenge them, otherwise this will become a demon in my heart. I want to fight for the qualification of family heir, and this demon in my heart will affect my future plans. I can't let it exist in my heart. I must get rid of this demon in my heart."
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect this matter to become your inner demon. Well, if that's the case, then it's necessary to do this. Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on you in the future."
"Yes, that's why I insisted on going to the oasis. Besides being unwilling to accept the failure of the last mission, it was also because of this reason."
"So, Gu Yuan, you've already helped me once, and I owe you a favor. This time, I hope you can help me again and go with me to the oasis to deal with the Golden-Eyed Tiger. We don't necessarily have to kill it the first time. We just need to take our time, wear it down, and we'll eventually kill it."
"But the strength of the Golden Crystal Tiger with Hanging Eyes is not as simple as you think. I think that tiger may be very powerful. I don't know much about this kind of monster, so I don't know some things about it." Gu Yuan said with a frown.
"I have some understanding of the Golden Crystal Tiger with Hanging Eyes. After our last encounter, I've pretty much figured out its tactics and trump cards. This time, we can go over there and test it out. You can wait and see from behind. If it doesn't work, you can retreat first. I won't let you get into any danger."
