I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 456: A Heart-to-Heart Talk

Qin Yiyao became increasingly interested in this place.

But she has other things to do now.

"Xiaobai, come with me and clean up the back."

Qin Yiyao first pulled out the little white dragon that was hiding in some corner, then gave him a broom and dragged him to the back to clean.

This little white thing is good in every way: it can work, it understands human speech and intentions, and it's even a dragon.

Although Qin Yiyao didn't know where Gu Heng had magically produced such an extraordinary-looking dragon, she had no objections.

Who doesn't like a helpful assistant? "...Young Master Gu, you're a bit hard to figure out."

Yin Rufeng got straight to the point.

Since you can't see through the other party, just admit it honestly. This isn't admitting defeat; it's just a strategic retreat.

"I'm just a poor soul fleeing war. What do you think you can see through me, old man? There's nothing about me that's worth looking into, and even if there were, you wouldn't be able to see it."

Gu Heng smiled faintly, making no attempt to hide anything.

Yin Rufeng's face darkened upon hearing this.

Good, arrogant enough, confident enough. No wonder his investigation was shut down because of his strength. To say such a thing clearly means he has no intention of revealing his true purpose in coming to the desolate city.

Fleeing from war?

There has indeed been a major conflict on the eastern border recently. But could such a thing affect him?

joke.

Even if the demon army were to conquer the entire Eastern Frontier and arrive at this ancient wilderness, the array outside would make the demons simply ignore this place, without even needing to resort to force.

This young master Gu in front of me is clearly implying something!

"I wonder why you have come to this remote place, my desolate city?"

Gu Heng was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this place nice?"

"Although there are rumors that this place is desolate and barren, that was my intention to come here. Whether it is desolate or barren is not important, but it is peaceful and tranquil, and I can find some peace and quiet."

His smile vanished, and he solemnly cupped his hands towards Yin Rufeng, saying, "Old Master Yin, I hope you will not misunderstand. I am not here with any ill intentions. I simply intend to find a place where no one can find me, stay quietly for a while, and train my disciples."

That wasn't a lie. After all, his goal was simply to train Qin Yiyao.

of course.

This desolate city wasn't as impoverished as others had described, which was actually a pleasant surprise for Gu Heng! Even if the place was truly terrible, Gu Heng planned to stay.

This place is convenient for Qin Yiyao to enter and leave the Central Region, allowing her to hone her skills.

That brings me to this.

Yin Rufeng still had some doubts. Although Gu Heng was so sincere and indeed had no ill intentions, as the head of the family, he couldn't gamble on the odds.

Ask more questions.

"Does Young Master Gu intend to cultivate a disciple?"

"Exactly."

"Was that the girl from just now?" Yin Rufeng asked.

"Yes, her name is Qin Yiyao. This girl is destined to become an empress."

"I see……"

Yin Rufeng stroked his beard and smiled.

That girl named Qin Yiyao is quite interesting.

Just as Yuan Chou said, she possesses an extremely noble "immortal bloodline," belonging to the so-called "remnant race." Moreover, the power of this bloodline has already been activated; Yin Rufeng can now see the extraordinary aura emanating from her, which is incredibly powerful!

He had heard of the "remnants of the immortal realm".

Back when he was still in the "Virtual Immortal World", Yin Rufeng had also received a mission to find the "Immortal Remnants" who had been scattered in the Xuan Tian Realm, bring them to the "Virtual Immortal World", and focus on cultivating them so as not to waste this precious Immortal bloodline.

The "Immortal Realm" needs these cultivators who possess the bloodline of the immortals.

This is quite strange. Young Master Gu's disciple possesses celestial blood, yet he seems to have absolutely no connection to the "Virtual Immortal Realm." Given time, once his disciple gains a reputation, it will inevitably attract the attention of those guys…

Until then.

There will probably be an unavoidable conflict.

The Void Immortal Realm exists in its own self-contained space, and for several eras it has been operating behind the scenes, secretly manipulating the situation of the entire Xuan Tian Realm and strengthening its own power.

They felt their position was unshakeable!

There's nothing they can't get!

Although Young Master Gu may possess extremely strong abilities, the "Virtual Immortal World" also has the means to draw power from the Immortal Realm, meaning that there has never been a break in the cultivation lineage.

The two collided...

It's really hard to say who will have the upper hand, Yin Rufeng. And where does Young Master Gu's power come from?

He longed for an answer to this question, but such things couldn't be asked casually. Even if he did ask, he feared that Young Master Gu wouldn't tell him the truth.

Perhaps it's better to leave it blank for now.

There will be opportunities to find out in the future.

“Grandpa Yin, your granddaughter is very talented. Her potential is truly amazing in my opinion.”

Gu Heng smiled and said, "But if you let her stay in the desolate city like this, we'll miss a great opportunity."

"……What's the meaning?"

Yin Rufeng's pupils contracted.

"I think her future potential is not as good as my apprentice's, but no matter how good her potential is, if she stays in this desolate city all day, she won't be able to realize it."

Gu Heng felt that since Yin Rufeng had already spoken to him, he might as well be frank with him and tell him that Yin Xueling had great talent and a bright future.

It was just a small, insignificant way of helping her.

"Hmph, although this old man doesn't know much about raising children, Young Master Gu, you shouldn't worry about such things."

Yin Rufeng was somewhat skeptical.

I always felt that Gu Heng was exaggerating.

What? Your disciple has immortal blood, but my granddaughter doesn't?

Moreover, before the problem of the "Immortal Seal" is resolved, Yin Xueling must not leave the desolate city, otherwise she will surely face annihilation sooner or later!
