Chapter 288: The Promise of Immortality

At the end of the year, the winter snow is falling.

In the attic, Gu An was pouring tea for Ye Lan, while Ye Lan was telling her about her experience in the branch sect.

After not seeing her for many years, Ye Lan showed more of the temperament of a great cultivator. A cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm could be a person in power in various parts of the continent, so her aura naturally grew day by day.

This made Gu An feel that she was even more attractive.

The little girl who used to follow him around and always cling to him is now a figure above everyone else. This makes him feel emotional and proud.

Her experience in the branch sect was nothing more than a struggle for power and profit. With Lu Baitian's help, she was always able to win every fight. Generally speaking, it was smooth sailing.

After talking about her own experience, she asked Gu An how he had been doing over the years.

"I plant flowers and plants, play chess, and entertain my disciples when I have nothing to do. I feel very comfortable." Gu An looked at Ye Lan and smiled.

Ye Lan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who is that girl downstairs?"

You've been wanting to ask this for a long time! Gu An thought so in his heart, and he said, "Her identity is not simple. I'm only telling you, you can't tell anyone!"

There are restrictions in the attic that are enough to block the prying eyes of cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he is not afraid of being heard by Ji Xiaoyu.

Ye Lan nodded expressionlessly.

Gu An took a deep breath and said, "Her name is Ji Xiaoyu, do you understand?"

Ye Lan frowned and asked, "Didn't Ji Xiaoyu die?"

Ji Xiaoyu was once a world-renowned genius, and coupled with her peerless beauty, her death caused a lot of discussion within the Taixuan Sect. Ye Lan had also heard about this.

"She is dead, but she has also been reincarnated..." Gu An told the news he got from Thief Wuxing with a look of emotion on his face.

Ye Lan was also shocked after hearing this. There were such strange things in the world. Moreover, Ji Xiaoyu's background was far beyond her imagination and even broke her cognition.

Gu An said cautiously: "Junior sister, this matter must not be spread out, lest you and I get into big trouble. If it involves reincarnation, the enemies we provoke will surely be extremely powerful. In front of such an existence, Taixuan Sect must either obey or be reduced to ashes."

Ye Lan nodded, then said with emotion: "To be honest, I was jealous of her just now, but I dare not do that now. The gap between her and us is too big. Not to mention whether she really likes you, brother. Even if she does, I think it's a good thing. Brother, you have always said that you are mediocre, and your relationship with that old senior has been severed. Then you should cherish her, maybe she can change your fate."

When she spoke of the latter part, her expression became extremely serious.

Gu An was moved by her attitude.

Perhaps because of his experiences in his previous life, Gu An felt that it was impossible for anyone in the world to completely consider others. Even love was based on one's own needs.

He had rejected Ye Lan many times, but she was always consistent. He didn't want her to suffer any loss, so he kept helping her. Of course, he was also touched. At least Ye Lan had an irreplaceable place in his heart.

But he didn't expect that Ye Lan would want him to please another woman for his future.

This silly girl...

Gu An glared at Ye Lan and said unhappily, "What are you cherishing? She and I don't have that kind of relationship. At most, we are just fellow Taoists. Besides, she doesn't have any love for her children in her heart, only the Tao."

This is the truth, he can feel Ji Xiaoyu's ambition.

Whether in her past life or this life, Ji Xiaoyu was not a woman obsessed with love, otherwise she would not have resisted the family marriage at the cost of her own life in her past life.

Ye Lan rolled her eyes at Gu An and said, "Brother, a woman can live downstairs from you, and she has a great background, how could she not have feelings for you? Even if you can't really pursue her, it would be a good thing for you to establish a better relationship with her."

Although she has reached the level of Spirit Transformation, she still feels that her path to immortality has already come to an end. At least she no longer dares to hope for immortality, but she hopes that Gu An can have this opportunity.

She couldn't tell the reason, she just wanted Gu An to live a better life, and she felt that Gu An deserved it.

Since she was little, she always felt that her senior brother deserved all the good luck in the world. Even if she was rejected by Gu An, she was not angry. She liked her senior brother, so why should he obey her wishes? "Forget it, senior brother, I want a stable life. If she is willing to stay in the Third Medicine Valley, I will not treat her badly. If she wants to leave, I will not keep her. After all, she and I are not from the same world, and we should not hinder each other's steps." Gu An shook his head.

This is also what he really thinks.

His goal is to live forever, not to marry and have children.

Ye Lan blinked, not knowing whether to be happy or sigh.

"Senior Brother, if you can't achieve immortality in this life, will you accept me?" Ye Lan asked.

Gu An thought for a moment and said, "If you and I cannot achieve immortality, then let's live a mortal life together for the last hundred years. A mortal life only lasts a hundred years. Before that, you and I should strive to pursue the immortal path. What if there is hope? Although I seek stability, I have not given up cultivation."

After hearing this, Ye Lan smiled. She looked at Gu An and said infatuatedly, "Brother, when you put it like that, I suddenly feel that the limit of life span is not that scary."

Gu An raised his hand and rubbed her head, ruffling her hair, and only stopped when she scolded him.

Afterwards, Ye Lan talked about the Great Cold Demon Sect.

She also learned a lot of information about the Great Cold Demon Sect, which made her very worried.

She was afraid that the mainland would not be able to survive this disaster, so she came back early to see Gu An to avoid any regrets.

Of course, she still had hope in her heart, and that was to help Dao Jian Zun.

This is also the reason why the vast majority of Taixuan Sect disciples did not panic. Over the years, the protection of Fudao Sword Master allowed them to have illusions and confidence in dealing with all disasters.

As long as Fudao Jianzun does not abandon them or fail, they will be able to survive the disaster.

At the end of the conversation, Gu An invited Ye Lan to stay, and Ye Lan naturally did not refuse.

After night fell, Gu An took Ye Lan for a walk in the valley and took her to watch others play chess.

He also called Yang Jian and asked him to salute Ye Lan.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Yang Jian's attitude was very respectful. He felt that his master treated Ye Lan differently, and there must be a deep meaning behind his master asking him to come.

Isn't it the master's uncle, but the master's wife?

Thinking of this, Yang Jian was also happy. He suddenly felt that his master was not so illusory and also had a human side.

That night, Ye Lan stayed in the Third Medicine Valley and stayed in Gu An's room. Gu An read a book while she practiced Qigong.

When it was late at night, Ye Lan opened her eyes and saw Gu An still reading. The candlelight illuminated his face and she smiled happily.

Actually, this is pretty good.

Ye Lan looked at Gu An for a while, then closed her eyes.

By the time daybreak came, the situation had changed.

"Brother, you must be tired. Let me massage your shoulders."

"Why should I be tired? It's you who has been practicing all the time."

"It's okay, I have a high level of cultivation, I'm not tired."

"Are you massaging my shoulders?"

"I want to check your body, in case you develop any health problems."

"Wait, don't touch it any further!"

"Brother! How could I have the intention to disrespect you? I have a unique method that can nourish your qi and blood."

"No, not there..."

…

In the early morning, Gu An walked downstairs with a complicated expression, and Ye Lan followed behind him with a bright smile on her face.

Ji Xiaoyu walked out of the house, looked at the two of them, and frowned slightly.

After going downstairs, Gu An introduced the two girls to each other. Without much chatting, Ye Lan followed Gu An to practice exercises.

Ji Xiaoyu stood there and watched. After watching for a while, her brows relaxed.

Ye Lan planned to leave after the Spring Festival. Gu An would take her with him when he went to the outer city and Xuan Valley, but he did not take her to Tianya Valley and other places. She did not ask much, thinking that it was a good thing that her senior brother had a secret, which meant that her senior brother was still hiding his identity.

Naturally, she hoped that her senior brother would be as powerful as possible.
