Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen, Jin Yi, and Wu Wenfeng with a gentle smile and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Sage King, thank goodness you are safe and sound!" Jin Yi said sincerely.
"I knew Brother Gu would be alright!" Wu Wenfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Chen's gaze swept over Gu Liyan from top to bottom, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect your current cultivation level to inspire such respect in those who see you! And the aura emanating from you has already reached the transcendent realm!"
"A blessing in disguise, this matter is all thanks to Brother Leng's help." Gu Liyan turned his head and bowed respectfully to Leng Shaohan.
Leng Shaohan waved his hand and said magnanimously, "As the saying goes, no fight, no friendship. It is only because we are compatible that we have the opportunity to reach a consensus and form an alliance. Why be polite to me over such a small matter? Just know that you have fulfilled my expectations as promised."
Gu Liyan nodded. "Don't worry, I will keep my promise."
As the two were talking, Cui Ming stared blankly at Gu Liyan, frantically fixing her makeup. She then stepped forward, pointing a trembling finger at Gu Liyan and saying, "Benefactor! You are my benefactor, aren't you?"
Gu Liyan turned her head and noticed Cui Ming's excited expression, and asked with some confusion, "Senior, are you calling me?"
“That’s right! My benefactor! It’s me! I’m Cui!” Cui Ming said excitedly, grabbing Gu Liyan’s hand.
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, quickly withdrew his hand, and said calmly:
"Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else. As far as I can remember, this is the first time we've met. Please show some respect."
Cui Ming awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot that my benefactor doesn't like being touched. But aren't you really my benefactor? Every move you make is a reflection of my benefactor, and you even have the marks of Luo Lian and the peach blossom seal as proof. There's absolutely no mistake!"
Everyone looked at Gu Liyan's stunningly beautiful face, which indeed had purple lotus and peach blossom marks on it.
Cui Ming continued, "Thirty years ago, you saved me, guided my cultivation, and provided the funds to establish the Sword Pavilion! You were my mentor! How could I possibly be wrong about you now?!"
Gu Liyan frowned, his mind filled with doubt. Thirty years ago, he was with An Qianbai, so how could he possibly save Cui Ming in this world?
Seeing that Gu Liyan didn't believe him, Cui Ming suddenly remembered something, took something out of his pocket and handed it over, "My benefactor, you said that if we met again in the future, you should give me this to you! I have kept it with me all this time, and it is in perfect condition!"
Gu Liyan took the item from his hand and froze on the spot. "The Reincarnation Compass! How could it be here?!"
Mo Chen looked at Cui Ming in surprise.
Gu Liyan looked solemn, took a deep breath, and nervously looked at Cui Ming, "Are you sure this is something I gave you?"
“That’s right! It was given to me by you, my benefactor! You were worried that I would be hunted down by my enemies, so you left me this treasure, saying it could save my life in a critical moment…” Cui Ming hurriedly explained.
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen with a suspicious expression, his face quite interesting. The latter shrugged helplessly, waved his hand with a wry smile, indicating that he knew nothing.
Since the Reincarnation Compass fell into Yan Ligu's hands, no one has touched it again. After Yan Ligu disappeared, the whereabouts of the Reincarnation Compass became a mystery.
Now, it has actually appeared in this world, and it was thirty years ago, which really baffled Gu Liyan and Mo Chen.
Seeing the suspicious expressions on their faces, Cui Ming cautiously asked:
"My benefactor, is there... something wrong with this?"
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, glanced at Mo Chen beside him, and said, "If you have this item, then I think that person from thirty years ago really was me..."
Cui Ming nodded, his face full of excitement. "Now that I have met my benefactor here, I would like to ask him to answer the question I had back then."
Gu Liyan looked at Cui Ming and asked, "What's the problem?"
“My benefactor, you said that as long as one has Buddha in their heart, Sword Pavilion will become famous throughout the world. But I have been worshipping Buddha for thirty years, and Sword Pavilion is only declining day by day. There is no sign of prosperity at all. My benefactor, can you give me some guidance?” Cui Ming looked at Gu Liyan with a serious expression.
Gu Liyan looked surprised. "You have Buddha in your heart? You've been worshipping Buddha for thirty years?"
"Yeah, this old man's Buddhist shrine is even more extravagant than the main hall!" Mo Chen couldn't help but complain.
Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile. "I see!"
"Oh, right, Gu Liyan, I almost forgot to tell you, Yin Yang and Xuan Qing'er are also in this world. They are from the Sword Pavilion." Mo Chen suddenly remembered something and whispered in Gu Liyan's ear.
Gu Liyan's expression changed. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Hmm!" Mo Chen nodded solemnly.
Before Gu Liyan could say anything more, Yi Sheng turned pale and began to cough violently.
"Cough cough..."
"Sheng'er, are you alright?" Cui Ming rushed to Yi Sheng's side and asked anxiously.
Yisheng shook his head, his eyes filled with exhaustion, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, I'm fine..."
Upon hearing Yi Sheng's voice, Gu Liyan noticed him standing behind her. Looking at his dazed eyes, Gu Liyan felt a sense of familiarity for a moment.
Seeing Yi Sheng's weak appearance, Cui Ming turned around and knelt down. "Benefactor, I don't want the Sword Pavilion to be famous throughout the world. Now I just want you to save my disciple!"
Everyone stared at Cui Ming in astonishment. They never expected that the usually harsh Cui Ming would kneel down and beg for mercy for Yi Sheng! It truly opened everyone's eyes!
"Master..."
