Chapter 196: A Strange Man that Deviates from the Script; Do I Need to Act with her again?
The system"s prompt sound was odd and unexplainable, but he had indeed gained a lot of Fortune Value and Destiny Points.
“It seems that my fellow otherworlder has noticed me and became interested? Is my charm really so great?”
“Or perhaps she feels that I am different from the natives of this world?”
The smile on the corner of Gu Changge"s mouth carried a hint of intrigue.
He quickly swept his gaze across the magnificent divine palace in front of him, before giving out an order.
Many of his subordinates stepped forward and began to take away the treasures that the True Dragon Clan had collected over the years.
Afterwards, Gu Changge"s figure shifted and went outside.
Now that his ‘fellow countrywoman" had noticed him, it meant that she must currently be among the Daoist Sects or Immortal Clans present, maybe not far from the territory of the True Dragon Clan.
Gu Changge could understand w.a.n.g Zijin’s mentality.
After all, every transmigrator would have a kind of contempt for the indigenous people of the new world, to the point where it was almost expected. If one were born a little taller, would they not look down on those who are shorter? Possessing a strong golden finger meant that their arrogance would soar to the high heavens.
It was good that the other party didn"t seem to know that he was also a transmigrator.
‘First, let’s pretend to be a more “special” native.’
Gu Changge was already familiar with playing out this kind of thing. So naturally, he could guarantee a seamless act, one where it would be difficult to find any flaws. Only if the other party had a system similar to his, would she be able to figure out his origins.
Otherwise, she"d just be playing within the palm of his hands.
Gu Changge"s smile was a bit meaningful, as if he already had a plan in his mind.
The other party thought she was smart and knew the entire script, but how could she know whether the people in the script are aware?
“There is always a taller mountain”
‘Isn’t she interested in me? Then if my guess is correct, this Favoured Daughter of Heaven will come to my door and deliver herself to me on her own accord.’
While Gu Changge was thinking of his plan, ripples appeared in the void, revealing a powerhouse of the Primordial Divine Sect.
Buzz!!
“Young Master, the heir of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family – w.a.n.g Wushuang – seeks an audience. He is currently waiting outside the Dragon Island.”
The man glanced at Gu Changge and reported.
‘It turned out to be the Immortal w.a.n.g Family?’
‘Sure enough, she’s very eager.’
Hearing this, Gu Changge nodded slightly and couldn"t help but smile while saying, “Let them in.”
“As the Young Master wishes.” After receiving the order, the man left quickly.
“This is the first time I’m meeting a fellow otherworlder after coming to this world, I should prepare for it.”
Gu Changge smiled playfully. Since they were competing with routine, then they should see whose routines are deeper.
Then, he took a step, a void appeared in the sky; a void pa.s.sage. He traversed the sky and came to a mountain directly.
To be honest, though he had thought that someone would come to him–
He didn"t expect her to be related to the Immortal w.a.n.g Family. For all those who could be called Immortal Families, their foundation must be absolutely unfathomable and unimaginable.
A cultivator once said that even the Immortal Families themselves do not know how terrifying their own background is.
This has been already confirmed by the past scenes within the Immortal Gu family.
Therefore, Gu Changge would not underestimate the Immortal w.a.n.g Family. There must naturally be a reason why these families were able to stand for generations and be labelled as ‘Immortal".
But before that, he was thinking about the relationship between the Favoured Daughter of Heaven and w.a.n.g Wushuang.
Although w.a.n.g Wushuang was a little mysterious in front of most people, and his true face was covered by mist, Gu Changge could see through him and even the origin of his physique at a glance.
As long as he wants to, there was no Young Supreme nor any other cultivator in this world who could hide from his eyes.
He had also previously considered plotting for w.a.n.g Wushuang"s origin. His peerless battle physique and the peerless power were expressed by the golden lines inside his eyes.
This power of w.a.n.g Wushuang was equivalent to a terrifying secret technique, which can increase all aspects of the cultivator, including attack, speed, spirituality, defence and so on.
But Gu Changge gave up in the end because the difficulty was not small and it was not easy to succeed in such an endeavour.
[Kshn: Ya think?]
In Gu Changge’s opinion, the person who wants to meet him right now was not w.a.n.g Wushuang himself.
And, if even w.a.n.g Wushuang had to listen to the other party’s order, their status was obviously higher than him.
‘His Onee-san?’
‘Or is it one of the Ancient Freaks of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family?’
— — —
[At the same time.]
On the ancient warship of the Immortal w.a.n.g family; w.a.n.g Zijin, w.a.n.g Wushuang and others were standing, waiting for the word. It was not as simple to see Gu Changge now as in the past.
Especially since he was currently at the critical moment when the True Dragon Clan has just been suppressed, and who knew if there would be people who might take advantage to fish in murky waters.
Being cautious was normal and reasonable.
Gu Changge"s ident.i.ty wasn"t like the others in the younger generation anymore.
“Miss, will we see Young Master Changge soon? I"m so excited!”
With an excited expression, Xiu"er shook her tiny fists in the air.
Her face was exactly like one of those diehard fans from her previous world when they finally met their idol. w.a.n.g Zijin couldn"t help but shake her head.
She really wanted to cover this little maid"s mouth.
“I"ve already told you to be quiet, why won"t you be obedient.”
w.a.n.g Zijin spoke helplessly, but she didn"t bother to care too much about this impertinent little maid, because she was used to indulging her like this normally.
“Got it, Miss.”
Xiu"er hurriedly nodded, like a chicken pecking at the rice, but ultimately still couldn"t hide her excitement and antic.i.p.ation.
But w.a.n.g Zijin didn"t say anything more.
After all, she was simply following her Little Brother to visit Gu Changge, the so-called strongest person in the younger generation.
Since casually visiting others with her actual ident.i.ty would cheapen her worth.
Hence, she was just going as a member of the entourage today and was dressed as a man to boot.
She didn"t plan to expose her ident.i.ty as the descendent of the Human Ancestral Hall so early on.
w.a.n.g Zijin was truly very tired of those suitors who did not know their own worth, yet acted like bigshots. She wished that no one would bother her on this trip.
“Everyone, please come with me, the young master is awaiting your arrival inside the Dragon Island.
The man who had gone to report soon came back and replied.
“Okay.”
w.a.n.g Wushuang nodded calmly.
Everyone followed the man towards the depths of the Dragon Island. Many cultivators nearby looked at this scene with very surprised expressions.
‘w.a.n.g Wushuang, the heir of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family?’
‘He’s visiting Gu Changge?’
‘I"m afraid this matter is not easy!’
And soon, under the leadership of the man, everyone in the Immortal w.a.n.g Family pa.s.sed through many sacred mountain islands to a cloud-filled mountain top.
Buzz!!
Atop the mountain, several powerful men with terrifying auras were waiting for them, like guards.
There was also Gu Changge, sitting behind a stone table, his eyes were self-a.s.sured, looking calm.
On the stone table in front of him, the fragrance of tea was curling up, and five coloured steam permeated.
Obviously, the tea was prepared for them.
“Greetings, Brother Gu.”
w.a.n.g Wushuang landed here and first said to Gu Changge cupped hands.
w.a.n.g Zijin, Xiu"er, the old coachman and others behind him were half a step behind, making w.a.n.g Wushuang look like their leader.
“Brother w.a.n.g came to visit in person, did something happen?”
“Everyone, please have a seat.”
“Tea has been served.”
Gu Changge smiled and raised his head, his eyes swept across the people in front of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family one by one, and motioned them to sit down.
Then, while looking at w.a.n.g Zijin, who was dressed in men"s clothing and had a delicate complexion, he paused for a moment, revealing a slightly surprised reaction.
But he immediately quickly looked away.
He seemed to be a little curious, but not very concerned.
As for the rest of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family, he never paused to take a second look.
When she noticed this, w.a.n.g Zijin was not surprised. On the contrary, Gu Changge"s att.i.tude made her feel very curious and she became even more interested.
Gu Changge obviously noticed her difference.
But he didn"t point it out, nor asked about it.
‘He is a smart man, really different compared with other Young Supremes.’
‘And from a closer look, there is indeed a kind of detached Immortal temperament, and it also reveals his elegant and extraordinary presence.’
‘It was obvious that he had been doing villain activities up until just a few moments before, yet now in the blink of an eye, he had this “I am a righteous character” face on, looking dignified and cla.s.sy. Could one even play with this?’
To be honest, w.a.n.g Zijin no longer expected that Gu Changge would have a miserable day in the future, since he was more than capable, and was evidently not the type of cannon fodder villain that will not survive many chapters.
At this time, after sitting down.
Hearing Gu Changge"s question, w.a.n.g Wushuang couldn"t help showing a smile and said, “Seeing Brother Gu strategizing is a blessing to my eyes. Such a simple method to suppress the entire Ancient Immortal Races and make them surrender willingly. What an amazing method, Wushuang can"t help but admire it. I would like to ask Daoist Brother Gu for advice if possible.
This felt like a very sincere remark, though it in reality carried maybe only half its actual sincerity.
w.a.n.g Wushuang also understood that at this time, saying such a line was a way of helping his Big Sister. w.a.n.g Zijin was interested and wanted to meet Gu Changge. However...
As a descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall, if she acted so brazenly and cheaply like this, she would inevitably be criticized.
“Oh, it turned out to be this.”
Gu Changge smiled, unabated, and then shook his head.
“It"s just luck. Brother w.a.n.g has overpraised me. The True Dragon Clan had committed unrighteousness, this is what they brought up themselves. This is the law of heaven and earth.”
“For countless years, they have deceived others, covering the sky with only one hand, running rampant in the Immortal Continent.”
“This incident is entirely their own fault. A self-inflicted wound that I just added salt to.”
Hearing this, the corners of w.a.n.g Wushuang"s mouth twitched slightly, and he then smiled bitterly, “No need for Brother Gu to be so modest. In my opinion, no one in the younger generation could use this method as you.”
Gu Changge still didn"t care, shaking his head with a smile.
“This matter is not worthy of Brother w.a.n.g"s attention. Even if I don"t take action, there would’ve been some other people taking action against them.”
“Furthermore, I"m just taking advantage of the Great Elder’s abilities.”
“The Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace is the biggest planner in this matter, and I was simply pushed out on the surface at most, taking the opportunity to make a name for myself.”
What Gu Changge said was reasonable, and there was nothing inherently wrong with it.
However, everyone present was not part of the simple generation and was not stupid. They could clearly hear Gu Changge"s evasive meaning.
He did not brag about his achievements, nor say that he had a part in those schemes.
The problem was neatly tied to the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace without a single hitch.
Speaking of it this way, it almost seemed as if his move was made in order to eliminate harm for the Ancient Immortal Continent.
If one didn"t look at the way he was basically swallowing the entire True Dragon Clan"s lair and family whole, they might really believe it.
“Brother Gu is too humble. Others are eager to be famous, but you wish to avoid it. But then again, since the Black Heavenly eagle, Divine Crocodile and other clans are now under the control of Gu brother...”
“Your current power is already unmatched, so naturally, you wouldn"t need to care about all that.”
w.a.n.g Wushuang couldn"t help sighing with emotion, his words hiding genuine envy.
“Modest? Why should I be modest, it"s just the truth.” Gu Changge couldn"t help but laugh, “Brother w.a.n.g, you really overestimate me.”
The old monster of the w.a.n.g family couldn"t help shaking his head silently at this moment.
Sure enough, judging people purely by their superficial surface was just asking for death.
He had grossly underestimated Gu Changge"s ability to spout nonsense.
‘Does he think that people are blind and can’t see his schemes and everything he does? Does he not think it would be good to be honest now and then? Don"t pretend to be a sheep when you"re actually a big-tailed wolf…’
Even he wanted to say this to Gu Changge.
At this time, Gu Changge also seemed to know what everyone was thinking.
Gu Changge spoke slowly, his voice containing lingering regret, “I know that Brother w.a.n.g will think of this as me spouting nonsense, but it is indeed true that the only reason the Black Sky Eagle, Ancient Serpent, and other clans helped me was because of my relationship with Ancient Deity of Reincarnation.”
“Now that the matter is resolved, the agreement between them and me will naturally become invalid. We will go our own way, and it will be difficult for me to have them take action for me in the future.”
His look of regret seemed so authentic that even the people around could not help but begin to believe him.
After all, the ancestors of the three tribes were in Quasi-Supreme Realm, their strength was enough to make the heavens tremble.
It was difficult for them to truly accept that existence of the Quasi-Supreme Realm would actually take orders from a young man.
Especially after witnessing their might as they worked together to attack. A force that managed to shake the sky and rend the earth!
Thus, Gu Changge"s words made them feel the slightest tidbit of relief, as it was within the acceptable range of what they thought of as possible.
“Saying something so hypocritical really doesn"t fit your ‘good person’ image.”
w.a.n.g Zijin had a strange expression. Hearing Gu Changge"s words at the moment, she couldn"t help but let out some laughter.
Pleasant to the ears, just like the mystical sound of nature.
She didn"t think Gu Changge"s approach was wrong.
In this Fantasy wuxia world where the strong eat the weak, good people will never live long.
On the other hand, those like Gu Changge that held the banner of justice in hand while doing despicable acts could most certainly live for a long time.
This made w.a.n.g Zijin more and more interested, wanting to know more about Gu Changge.
And at this moment…
Gu Changge seemed to finally place his gaze upon w.a.n.g Zijin"s face after hearing her laugh.
He spoke in an odd tone as if harbouring doubts and suspicions,
“Who…?”
“This is my Big Sister, w.a.n.g Zijin. She has just returned from her outside practice. She intended to travel back to our Family, however, while pa.s.sing by the Immeasurable Heaven, she decided to visit me.”
w.a.n.g Wushuang briefly introduced her but did not reveal that w.a.n.g Zijin had come from the Human Ancestor Hall.
“Oh, it turned out to be Brother w.a.n.g"s Big sis. I was a little surprised just now. You sure are well hidden.”
Gu Changge seemed a little surprised as if he just learned something new.
After speaking, Gu Changge raised his teacup made from White Jade, gesturing towards w.a.n.g Zijin as the fragrance of the tea wafted outwards.
Since w.a.n.g Wushuang didn"t mean to introduce her, then he didn’t want to ask about it either, so as not to have a counterproductive effect.
“I greet Brother Gu. I have heard many rumours about Brother Gu"s strength and intellect. A well-deserved reputation in my eyes.”
Upon seeing this, w.a.n.g Zijin didn"t think there was anything wrong with Gu Changge"s behaviour and expression.
She returned the toast and drank the tea.
“Haha, Miss Zijin is exaggerating. It is nothing more than a false narrative.”
Gu Changge also spoke at will, chatting with her happily.
That Divine temperament. That jade-like, pure and graceful face, made Xiu"er subconsciously show a look of deep admiration and worship.
Afterwards, Gu Changge talked with w.a.n.g Zijin and others, his expression calm and without any abnormalities.
When he first saw w.a.n.g Zijin, he had already confirmed her ident.i.ty as a transmigrator. The huge amount of luck, as high as tens of thousands, was just too conspicuous.
Moreover, the temperament of w.a.n.g Zijin was very different from the rest. She was indifferent and arrogant, and there was a kind of n.o.ble aura around her as if she didn"t care about anything.
Gu Changge clearly recognized that this was very different from your average Favoured Daughter of Heaven.
So he planned to follow the original plan and set a few routines in place first.
