Chapter 226: Learned a lesson; A smart downfall.
There was dead silence in the Great Hall.
The lingering aura fluctuated like a towering mountain, falling on everyone’s head.
At this moment, no one dared to move, not even breathe let alone speak.
They experienced a huge horror the moment Gu Changge shot, and they felt like they had become tiny dust under the Galaxy Cluster, which could be wiped out at any time.
The strength of this Immortal was so terrifying that all of them trembled.
The Elders, including the Holy Lord of Xianlun, were pale, with cold sweat on their backs, completely frightened.
After a brief moment, they reacted…
Everyone looked at Jiang Yang, who was photographed on the ground vomiting blood, with eyes full of anger and coldness as if they were looking at a fool or a lunatic!
If Jiang Yang was not crazy, then how dare he say such arrogant things just now?
‘If not because he is the Big Brother of Yaoyao, he would have been slapped to death by the Immortal by now.’
This was the only thought in everyone’s mind.
‘Was I really wrong? Was Jiang Yang pretending from the beginning?’
Even Supreme Elder Zhao Yi, who had great expectations for Jiang Yang, was looking at him with doubts in her eyes.
By her understanding of Jinag Yang, his character was calm and steady, having confidence of having everything under control.
‘Although, sometimes, his words were quite arrogant, they were not without reason and base.’
‘But now… he wants to provoke this Immortal in front of everyone?’
‘What is the reason for this?’
‘What kind of support does he have?’
“Big Brother…”
There was a complex expression on Yaoyao’s face. At this time, looking at her injured Big Brother, she should be sad…
But she wasn’t.
Rather, she was disappointed.
Jiang Yang’s actions have long disappointed her to the core.
And just now, it was obvious that her master was just teaching him a lesson.
Yaoyao was an understanding child, she knew that Gu Changge was angry because of Jiang Yang’s indifferent attitude towards her.
“Master, don’t be angry. It’s all because Yaoyao made you come here with me, otherwise this wouldn’t happen.”
Hearing Yaoyao, the indifference on Gu Changge’s face receded, returning to his previous calmness and gentleness.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. This guy doesn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth and speaks rudely. I need to teach him a lesson as an elder.”
He smiled and said that he didn’t take Jiang Yang to heart in his words.
As for the sound of the system’s prompt message at this time, he didn’t care.
Jiang Yang failed to pretend in public.
He was hit in the face and lost a lot of fortune.
But with his character, this humiliation and embarrassment may be difficult to swallow for a while.
Of course, Gu Changge doesn’t care.
In his eyes, Jiang Yang was just a leek waiting to be harvested. A big fat leek, nothing less, nothing more.
Gu Changge knew Jiang Yang’s confidence just now comes from the fact he can use the terrain here, his illusionary fortune, and the whole Tianchen Realm’s fortune to counter him.
After all, he was the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation. Although only a part of memory had fused just yet, he would’ve definitely arranged some backhands and methods for him to perform at crucial moments, it was a general trend.
Jiang Yang’s strength was only in the Transcendent Realm, which was very weak.
But he had the means to invoke the phantom of the Xianlun Sacred Land’s Ancestor.
A Supreme phantom.
Although Gu Changge didn’t know how much power remained in it.
But, an average person would not be able to compete against this power.
Gu Changge was a little suspicious that the Ancestor of Xianlun Sacred Land has some relationship with the Human Ancestor.
Otherwise, would a supreme leave his inheritance at a remote place like Tianchen Realm?
What was the reason for this?
It was nothing more than knowing that the Human Ancestor would likely be born from this realm in the future. So he left his legacy in order to escort the Human Ancestor.
Because of this, Jiang Yang had such strong confidence that he dared to talk to him like this.
Gu Changge had anticipated this a long time ago, so his response methods were more straightforward and simple.
In the eyes of everyone, this was Jiang Yang pretending, because they didn’t know that he was actually this much confident.
Then Gu Changge slapped him in the face severely and stepped on his head.
The speed of Gu Changge’s shot was too fast for Jiang Yang to react. It contained the laws of space and time, and instantly surpassed everything and knocked him to the ground.
‘I have to say that the Fortune Value obtained by slapping the Human Ancestor in the face is really a big sum…’
Many thoughts passed through Gu Changge’s mind, and his expression was a little inexplicable.
And this time, after Gu Changge stopped.
Jiang Yang also slowly stood up from the ground, but he looked very embarrassed, his body was stained with blood, and a lot of his bones were broken.
His face slowly returned to calm, and there was no sign of anger.
In everyone’s eyes, it seemed that after being taught by Gu Changge, he calmed down.
It’s just that Gu Changge knows that Jiang Yang’s eyes were still full of coldness.
However, this coldness quickly dissipated and became calm.
“What happened today is because I was reckless. I hope, for Yaoyao’s sake, the Immortal will not blame me.”
Jiang Yang opened his mouth, his voice was very flat, and he even took the initiative to bow to Gu Changge.
After seeing the shocked expressions of everyone, he explained again,
“I was speaking provocatively just now because I was jealous. This is the first time I saw Yaoyao being so close to a strange man. I, her Big Brother, felt jealous in my heart…”
“The Immortal has opened my eyes, teaching me a lesson.”
“I should be happy that there are other people who treat her so kindly beside me.”
“She is not just my sister alone, and now she has a master who is so kind to her.”
Having said this, Jiang Yang looked at Yaoyao again, showing the smile that Yaoyao had always been familiar with, looking apologetic.
“Sorry Yaoyao, the Big Brother was too indifferent to you just now, because I think you won’t want me as a Big Brother after you have a master.
“Big Brother apologises to you now, do you forgive me?”
The more he talked about the back, the deeper the guilt on his face.
Being sincere.
Even his eyes were a little red.
This sincere apology made many Elder’s expressions in Great Hall change, a little moved.
Judging from Jiang Yang’s age, it was totally excusable that he would do such a thing.
These explanations were also reasonable, nothing wrong with them.
After Jiang Yang finished speaking, he stood motionless in the hall, looking at Yaoyao apologetically, wanting to be forgiven.
Although he looked with a lot of affection at Yaoyao’s face, the injuries caused by Gu Changge’s palm were still very terrible.
The internal organs and bones were both damaged a lot.
If not because of his strong physique, he would’ve been on the brink of death right now.
This also made Jiang Yang understand that Gu Changge was different from the cultivator he had encountered in the past.
He looks very decent, but his methods were actually both righteous and demonic. On the surface, he seemed to be giving face to Yaoyao and showing mercy.
But in secret, he did tricks and wanted to destroy him!
Moreover, Gu Changge’s strength could completely crush him.
He was hit too hard before he could even take advantage of the general trend.
This completely exceeded Jiang Yang’s expectations.
He had always believed that he could use Xianlun Sacred Lands fortune and Dragon Veins to compete against Gu Changge’s, and let Gu Changge understand that he was not simple and thus be afraid of him.
But the facts proved that he was wrong this time. It was because of this idea that he was severely slapped in the face.
Otherwise, he would not suffer such a big loss and lose his face in front of everyone.
But thanks to Gu Changge’s blessing, Jiang Yang remembered a lot of things.
‘This Little Sister, his origin is probably not simple!’
‘No wonder Gu Changge would be so good to her, there must be some kind of conspiracy.’
At this moment, Jiang Yang decided to change his way, starting with his Little Sister.
He didn’t know the origin and purpose of Gu Changge for the time being, but he had written down this grudge, and there will be opportunities to retaliate in the future.
‘It seems that he had learned to admit weakness and cut his losses.’ Gu Changge smiled faintly, looking at Jiang Yang with an intriguing expression.
“Jiang Yang…”
“This kid is also really…”
At this time, upon hearing these words, the always soft-hearted Grandma Yinhua couldn’t help sighing.
Based on her understanding of Jiang Yang’s character, it was unlikely that he would do something like that just now.
Such an explanation made her sigh.
But, to decide on a decision was not something she could decide. It all depended upon Yaoyao.
“Big Brother…”
“Are you really telling the truth?”
Hearing the words, Yaoyao was also stunned, confusion and incomprehension appeared on her little face.
She didn’t expect Jiang Yang to say this so suddenly.
And that sincere look, it didn’t look fake.
Big Brother treating her indifferently because he was afraid of losing her?
If it was a normal occasion, she would feel happy if she heard such words.
But now…
She was not a person who will be bluffed into turning around with a couple of words.
Jiang Yang’s change of attitude was too fast.
But if it wasn’t for this reason, how could he explain his act of provoking Gu Changge as soon as he arrived?
So she subconsciously looked at Gu Changge, wanting to see what Master said.
At this moment, Gu Changge noticed her expression and couldn’t help but smile and said,
“Since your Big Brother apologised so much, how about you forgiving him Yaoyao? Whoever made no mistakes when he was young, I think he is telling the truth, and it also makes sense.”
“After all, he is your Big Brother…”
With that said, he looked at Jiang Yang intriguingly.
‘It seems that this time Jiang Yang has learned to be clever, planning to start from Yaoyao, not being stupid enough to continue his “pretending”.’
Gu Changge also wanted to know what Jiang Yang plans to do next.
After all, the current Jiang Yang was no longer Yaoyao’s Big Brother.
He was the Reincarnation of a Human Ancestor, but so far, there was still no one who could recognize his identity.
Gu Changge was still considering how to expose Jiang Yang’s “true face” and let Yaoyao breakup with him.
Now that he has taken the initiative to do so, he has given Gu Changge more opportunities to take advantage of.
After all, the deeper the deception, the greater the cracks and hatred brought by the moment of exposure.
This was exactly what he wanted.
“Mm-hmm, Yaoyao will listen to Master”
Even though Gu Changge had said so, at this time, Yaoyao naturally will not say anything more.
But in her eyes looking at Jiang Yang, she no longer had the longing that she had used to.
It’s like looking at someone with a very ordinary relationship.
Jiang Yang’s expression also recovered and calmed down, but there was still a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
As if still regretting what happened just now.
He didn’t intend to just make Yaoyao believe him, and change her disappointed attitude towards him.
“Yaoyao, it’s actually not that Big Brother doesn’t want to go back to see you and Grandma, but because I have troubles, I can’t get away from it, and only now I am free.”
At this time, Jiang Yang spoke again, throwing out such a paragraph.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many people in the Great Hall suddenly changed, including the Holy Lord of Xianlun, their complexion turned pale, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads!
He already knew what Jiang Yang was going to say!
This was something he never wanted to let Gu Changge and others know, because it was about the secret of the Xianlun Sacred Land.
It also involved the fact that they had treated Jiang Yang as slave and thrown him to the Feixian Mountain.
At this time, if Jiang Yang told the truth and it provoked anger at Yaoyao, wouldn’t their Xianlun Sacred Land be in trouble?
In their eyes, although Yaoyao was only Gu Changge’s apprentice, but in fact she was no different from a Little Princess.
“Troubles?”
Hearing this, Yaoyao was also slightly startled. Jiang Yang took the initiative to mention this matter, which made her feel like this.
‘What kind of troubles he had that he couldn’t go back to visit me and Grandma?’
This matter actually became a thorn in her heart.
But at this time, Yaoyao’s face did not change much, and she even sighed.
‘Suddenly saying this at this moment, doesn’t matter whether your hardship is true or false, it is useless. Being too smart can also lead to one’s downfall.’
Looking at Jiang Yang with helplessness in his eyes, Gu Changge had actually guessed what he was going to say next.
He smiled slightly.
‘There’s no use speaking up at this time.’
Yaoyao’s view of him has become deeply ingrained. On the way, she told Gu Changge that Jiang Yang was a simple and kind-hearted person. Even if he was misunderstood, he would not defend himself and only bear it silently.
Now Jiang Yang was impatiently throwing out his troubles on his own initiative?
This purpose was too obvious.
“It was hard for you. Big Brother doesn’t need to say, Yaoyao believes you.”
At this time, Yaoyao shook her head without letting Jiang Yang explain.
Although her figure was small, there was an invisible majesty at this time in her words so Jiang Yang swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He couldn’t help but frown.
In reality, the consciousness that was born before the fusion of this body had a significant impact on him.
Just like now, he didn’t even know why Yaoyao said that. She didn’t even listen to his difficulties?
However, Jiang Yang still showed a relieved expression on his face, and then returned to his previous calm.
“Yaoyao and Grandma came from a place as far away as Beishan Village, it was a long journey, why don’t you have some rest first.”
“Tomorrow I will take the two of you around Xianlun Sacred Land. I haven’t seen you for more than a year. I actually miss you very much.”
He smiled and said, he didn’t look like he was knocked over by Gu Changge just now and was vomiting blood in embarrassment.
As if that person was not him.
Now it seems that the host was mainly welcoming relatives from afar.
This scene made many Elder frown, and they couldn’t easily decide their attitude towards Jiang Yang. After all, Jiang Yang was the first person to invoke the phantom of their Ancestor in so long.
Even Gu Changge didn’t blame Jiang Yang, so how could they dare to overstep the mark?
‘What the hell is Jiang Yang doing?’
Xianlun Holy Lord frowned, not understanding the purpose of Jiang Yang.
‘I hope Jiang Yang does not make any stupid mistakes again.’ Supreme Elder Zhao Yi’s gaze also had a little worried look.
And Gu Changge’s expression also showed a little interest.
‘Interesting.’
‘Next, I am afraid that Jiang Yang will try to find ways about Yaoyao’s origins. As the Reincarnation of Human Ancestor, his vision is not bad, and he can definitely see that Yaoyao’s body is different.’
‘It’s just that Jiang Yang might not have imagined that the person she trusts most is not him, but her master.’
‘This is not an opportunity for me.’
Thinking of this, Gu Changge devised a plan as his eyes narrowed.
