Gu Liyan looked up at Hua Qin, and for some reason felt as if he owed this woman something...
"No way? Aunt Huaqin, you..."
Before Wu Wenfeng could finish speaking, Gu Liyan stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Since Aunt doesn't have that kind of interest, then Gu Liyan will take his leave!"
Hua Qin frowned slightly. "Refined taste"? What was he talking about?
Seeing Gu Liyan get up to leave, Wu Wenfeng hurriedly followed, "Hey, wait for me! I said I'd treat you to dinner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Wenfeng saw Gu Liyan turn his wrist and suddenly a jade flute appeared in his hand, which he then began to play.
Its sound is melodious and ethereal, making people unable to resist becoming captivated by it.
"That flute music is so beautiful!"
"Yes, I feel so relaxed!"
Gu Liyan squinted as she played her instrument and walked towards the door, seemingly lost in thought. Wu Wenfeng, following behind her, stared blankly, as if he had remembered something, and simply followed Gu Liyan in a daze...
Just as Gu Liyan was about to step out of the Tianxiang Pavilion, Hua Qin suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
The flute music stopped abruptly. Gu Liyan put down the jade flute and, without turning her head, smiled and asked, "Aunt, has something come to mind?"
"Gu...Gu Changyuan, who are you to me..." Hua Qin trembled slightly.
Gu Liyan's pupils contracted. He looked down at the jade flute in his hand, then turned to Hua Qin with a surprised expression. He never expected that his song of longing would remind the person in front of him of the name of the person he felt guilty towards!
"You, you recognize my senior brother?"
"Senior brother?" Hua Qin looked at Gu Liyan with slight surprise. "I don't know either. It's just that when I think of that name, I seem to remember something, but it doesn't seem to be my memory... I don't know..."
"The soul returns to its root, and life is subject to reincarnation. It is this young friend who has reminded you of things from before your reincarnation!"
Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice rang out in Tianxiang Pavilion, but everyone looked around and could not see the person who had come.
"No need to look anymore. I sent this message here. I never expected to encounter a young friend with the qualifications of the chosen one before I even arrived."
Wu Wenfeng was taken aback. "Chosen one! You mean Gu Liyan?!"
"Gu Liyan? Gu, Li, Yan. Hehe, what an interesting name."
Wu Wenfeng excitedly tugged at Gu Liyan's sleeve, "Wow, brother, you've been chosen by the Celestial Master! You're going to become the Chosen One!"
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, feeling like he was being entangled in trouble. He regretted not using "Yuan Yuan Jiu Chen" in the first place!
Without saying a word, Gu Liyan said directly, "I'm not interested! I'm leaving first."
Just as Gu Liyan was about to step out the door, he froze. A group of men in white appeared before him. Their clothes and appearances were somewhat similar, and they were all handsome young men, but Gu Liyan was slightly better looking.
Everyone inside and outside Tianxiang Pavilion stared in astonishment at the white-clad man outside the door.
Gu Liyan withdrew his foot, frowning as he looked at the newcomers. "You..."
Before Gu Liyan could say anything, the group of people bowed respectfully and said, "We respectfully invite the chosen one of heaven to return to the Heavenly Palace!"
Gu Liyan's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously took a step back. What they displayed was not the ability that should be found in the Astounding Cloud Realm, but the ability to control the wind, no, perhaps even stronger... Unbeknownst to him, Gu Liyan's back was soaked, but what he did not notice was that the people behind him, due to the powerful spiritual pressure, had already knelt on the ground and could not raise their heads.
"Hehe, as expected of the chosen one. With only the cultivation level of the seventh rank of the Astounding Cloud, he actually ignored the spiritual pressure of the Thirteen Heavenly Emperors' Guards, whose cultivation level was Wind Control."
The thirteen guards quickly made way for the newcomer, who was dressed in a golden robe, with white eyebrows, silver hair, and a long beard, looking like an otherworldly immortal. He was the old man who had just been communicating with Gu Liyan and the others.
Looking at the old man, Gu Liyan suddenly remembered the moment when Gu Yan aged to save her, and subconsciously asked, "Old man, who are you?"
"You must not be rude in front of Master Jin Xiao!" A young man dressed in white suddenly appeared behind Jin Xiao, staring at Gu Liyan with disdain.
Jin Xiao burst into laughter, waving his hand. "Hahaha, it's alright, it's alright. This is the first time I've heard this title in hundreds of years. I never expected it to come from your mouth."
Jin Xiao squinted at Gu Liyan, as if he could see right through her. Gu Liyan felt a sudden tightness in her heart when she saw Jin Xiao's gaze.
After thinking about it, if I were to calculate my age using the human timeline, I would seem to be older than the golden owl before me...
Gu Liyan stepped out of the door and respectfully said, "Gu Liyan, I apologize for my rudeness."
Jin Xiao smiled as he looked at Gu Liyan in front of him, and couldn't help but nod with a smile, "Your spiritual power is abundant. Although you are only at the seventh level of the Astounding Cloud Realm on the surface, I think you should be able to fight against the guards who are at the Wind Control Realm!"
Upon hearing Jin Xiao's words, the thirteen guards' eyes lit up, and they were eager to try their luck.
"Master Jin Xiao, don't boost others' morale while diminishing your own! For him, challenging someone of a higher level is indeed a piece of cake for ordinary mortals, but it's probably not the same for the immortals of my Heavenly Palace, is it?" The young man who reprimanded Gu Liyan spoke coldly.
“Young man, don’t underestimate this guy…” Jin Xiao gave Gu Liyan a meaningful look.
Gu Liyan calmly looked at the boy named Yao'er. He had delicate features, like a girl, and his gaze was full of hostility.
Gu Liyan cupped his hands in greeting. "I have no intention of participating in the selection of the chosen one. I am merely passing by. Please forgive me."
