Chapter 252: Siblings’ Antagonism; Another Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.
“Gu Changge…”
At this time, Ying Yu was the first to speak.
This was the first time she has seen Gu Changge in person, and he was far more terrifying and powerful than the rumours she heard.
Just the mighty group of followers behind him alone was enough to explain everything.
Let alone now, she felt that even if she was in the Quasi-Sacred Realm, she wouldn’t have been able to see through Gu Changge’s cultivation, it was as if there was a thick fog surrounding him.
This reminded Ying Yu of the rumour that Gu Changge had fought with the Great Sacred Realm in the Ancient Immortal Continent.
This man was far more unfathomable than she had imagined.
This made Ying Yu much more cautious in her heart. The original plan of getting answers about the humiliation she suffered in front of Gu Family’s Mountain Gate that day was already at the back of her mind at this moment.
“Oh, what advice does Miss Ying Yu have?”
Hearing Ying Yu calling her name, Gu Changge seemed to notice her, and was slightly surprised.
When he first investigated Ying Shuang, he knew the existence of his sister Ying Yu.
Unexpectedly, she came to his door of her own accord just after arriving at the Profound Heaven.
This made Gu Changge a little surprised.
It’s been a long time since he saw a self-delivering leek.
“Gu Changge, you said that my brother is the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts, isn’t this too arbitrary?”
Ying Yu was also very direct at this time, with silver eyes, staring at him.
Straight to the point, in front of everyone, she asked this question.
Gu Changge was a little surprised to hear this, “Did this Gu ever say this? Maybe Miss Ying Yu made a mistake?”
He was really telling the truth.
He didn’t actually say that.
Oh no, it’s not that he didn’t say anything, it’s that he didn’t mention Ying Shuang at all.
Back then, when he put the black pot on Ying Shuang’s head.
Gu Changge was just echoing the speculation of Wang Zijin, the descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall.
Even if Ying Yu wants to find someone to settle the bill, she should go to Wang Zijin.
It has nothing to do with him, Gu Changge.
“You…”
Ying Yu’s face changed slightly, and at this time she also realised that her sentence was wrong.
Gu Changge really didn’t say that.
But under the circumstances at the time, everyone felt that someone was framing Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.
Only Gu Changge and Wang Zijin acted in the opposite direction, thinking that this was an intentional attempt by Emperor’s Mountain to confuse the public and make everyone ignore it.
After all, everyone felt that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was framed by someone.
Then, when tracking down the Inheritors of Forbidden Demonic Arts, they would definitely ignore the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain first, thinking that they were also victims.
This method was more despicable than directly saying that Emperor Mountain was related to the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts.
It just so happened that they couldn’t find a way to wash it all away.
“Gu Changge, that’s what you meant at the time, but now you still want to argue. My brother has no grievances with you, why did you frame him?”
Ying Yu still didn’t give up, after all, she finally saw Gu Changge, she would not give up so easily.
At this moment she hoped that her brother would come here with her and confront Gu Changge.
But after Ying Shuang came to Profound Heaven, he never left his mansion, saying that he was waiting for the news of the All-Devouring Sky’s Battlefield.
This made Ying Yu very helpless, as there was no other way.
“Why do I have to quibble? I haven’t directly concluded who is the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts. Could it be that Miss Ying Yu thinks that the matters regarding the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts are child’s play? So that one can say and do as they wish?”
“And as you said, I have no grudges with Prince Ying, Why would I do this?”
“What I said to Saintess Zijin was just a possibility.”
“Even if you want to blame, you have to blame Saintess Zijin, right? Did you come to trouble this Gu because you thought this Gu has a gentle temperament and could be easily dealt with?”
Gu Changge smiled lightly, but at the end of the sentence, his smile also subsided.
He had an indifferent yet meaningful expression.
“I…”
“I had no such idea, Gu Changge, you are overthinking.”
Ying Yu gritted her teeth, her soul trembled, feeling the terrifying power, her whole body seemed to be suffocated.
Gu Changge was normal when they were talking before.
But just now, when he changed his expression, she felt palpitating intuitively.
What Gu Changge said at this time caused the pavilion and the many cultivators in the vicinity to pay close attention to this place, and their expressions changed greatly.
After all, the matter of the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts was of great importance.
What Ying Yu was doing now, in the eyes of everyone, was the same as vexatious.
Gu Changge and the descendant of Human Ancestral Hall did not say that Prince Ying was the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts, rather they just put forward their own opinions at that time.
Many cultivators present, also thought so.
And no one was a fool who would do thankless things.
After all, the Human Ancestral Hall has been fighting against the Inheritors of the Forbidden Demonic Arts for many years, and Wang Zijin’s words had convinced many people.
Not to mention that some time ago, another descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall also stopped outside the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain before finally leaving.
On the surface, all these signs point out that the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was the biggest suspect.
How will Ying Yu be able to wash away all these suspicions by herself?
In the Ancient City of Profound Heaven today, there were many powerhouses here. Even if Ying Yu was the daughter of the Emperor, she didn’t dare to cause public outrage.
“It seems to me that she couldn’t find a solution to this matter, so she found Young Master Changge as she was really anxious.”
“Wait until the day when her brother’s identity as the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts is exposed, I wonder what kind of face she will make at that time…”
“I think she is covering up the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts and intends to be the enemy of the whole world.”
“Why don’t we kill her here today, so as not to leave a scourge in the future.”
The discussion of the cultivators around her, with icy coldness and killing intent, also entered Ying Yu’s ears, making her complexion a little pale.
After Gu Changge said this, her actions unwillingly caused public outrage.
“Forget it, it seems that Miss Ying Yu has a simple temperament and is a straightforward person. This Gu will not care about today’s affairs.”
“I know you’ll figure it out.”
At this moment, Gu Changge sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
Seeing this, the followers behind him immediately understood what he meant and began to drive away the surrounding cultivators.
When Gu Changge did this, the people nearby also understood that he didn’t want to pursue the matter, and no one dared to not give him face.
When the angered crowd dissipated, the man in black and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Inexplicably, they were grateful to Gu Changge.
They also knew that if public outrage broke out, with their strength, they would not be able to stop so many cultivators, and they would be either killed or seriously injured today.
Who told them to be so unlucky, and have a relationship with the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.
Soon, only Wang Wushuang, Ye Langtian, Chi Ling and other young Young Supreme were left in the pavilion, as well as Ying Yu, who was still a little pale, and her followers.
Gu Changge’s sudden relief sigh made her a little surprised and puzzled.
Logically, since she was so aggressive and asked directly, Gu Changge should be angry and should have moved against her.
Why would he help her?
“Since everyone is here, why don’t Miss Ying Yu sit down and have a drink.”
At this moment, Gu Changge sat down calmly and naturally, and then greeted Ying Yu who was a little dazed.
“Miss…”
“Miss, since this is a request from the Young Master Changge. Don’t be stubborn anymore. By the way, apologise to the Young Master Changge for being disrespectful just now.”
The man in black beside Ying Yu immediately whispered to her when he saw this, and at the same time looked at Gu Changge slightly flatteringly.
Although he was asked by her father to follow Ying Shuang.
He was not stupid, he understands that right now Ying Shuang is a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, who can’t even protect himself.
1Chinese Idiom 泥菩萨过江，自身难保 used here means “like a clay Bodhisattva fording a river, can’t guarantee his own safety / unable to save oneself, let alone others”
Before the matter of the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts was resolved, Ying Shuang had no other option but to keep getting beaten like a street rat.
It’s better to take the opportunity to show goodwill to Gu Changge.
Regardless of identity or strength, Gu Changge today was far better than Ying Shuang.
This scene shocked all the Young Supreme beings who were injured by this Ancient Freak just now.
When will they be able to be like Gu Changge?
He can deter many existences by his power alone without doing anything.
“Gu Changge, thank you for relieving the siege just now.”
Ying Yu was not someone who doesn’t know the good and the bad, and can distinguish the priorities.
And this time, she was also generously given a seat.
Everyone present was also very sensible and gave her the seat beside Gu Changge.
She hesitated, but then sat down.
If she sits too far away from Gu Changge, it will inevitably be a little rude.
Gu Changge didn’t seem to care about this either.
After Ying Yu sat down, he stopped paying attention to her.
Gradually, Ying Yu felt a little bit like sitting on the edge of a needle and felt uncomfortable, which reminded her of the scene of waiting in front of the Gu Family’s Mountain Gate.
She also thought that Gu Changge had some intentions for her when he made a move to save her just now.
But now it seems that Gu Changge did it without any intention, and she had just thought too much, otherwise why would he ignore her after letting her sit down.
For a while, Ying Yu couldn’t understand Gu Changge’s actions.
He also didn’t look like he had any ill will towards her and her brother.
At this time, it was the man in black behind Ying Yu who kept giving her a wink, signalling her to take the initiative to toast.
After all, at this time, sticking there like a wooden pier, doing nothing, was not only naive but also dumb.
Ying Yu also reacted suddenly, when did she become so stupid?
“Gu Changge, this cup is for relieving the siege just now.”
However, this was obviously her first toast, and she seemed very unfamiliar with this, and her words were also very blunt.
Hearing this, Gu Changge glanced sideways at her, his eyes were somewhat interested, but not surprised.
After all, it was all within his expectations.
“There’s no need for this wine.”
Afterwards, he waved his hand and said casually, “Just now I saw that your personality is simple and straightforward, and I know that you have no malicious intentions.”
“If you came with malice, believe it or not, you would’ve been crushed by me now.”
His words were said lightly, but they had a bone-piercing chill.
Ying Yu shivered uncontrollably, and her face turned pale.
She knew that Gu Changge’s words were not false.
Gu Changge had the ability to stay true to his words.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t have wasted time on me, and would have asked your brother more questions about this.”
“Maybe he has something to hide from you? After all, he didn’t come out to confront me.”
Afterwards, Gu Changge smiled nonchalantly.
Of course, Ying Shuang did not dare to come out and confront him.
It was because Gu Changge still held the handle on his body firmly.
In this regard, Ying Shuang was also very clear.
“I understand…”
Afterwards, Ying Yu recovered quickly. From Gu Changge’s various actions, it was shown that he indeed doesn’t have any grudge against Ying Shuang and the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.
The reason for that speculation was based only on the most relevant possibility.
Therefore, the problem did not lie with Gu Changge.
Then who was it…?
Ying Yu fell into contemplation.
Looking at this scene, Gu Changge’s expression became somewhat intriguing.
The Favoured Son of Heaven who has seized another’s fate, his greatest nemesis was the people around him who are most familiar with him.
He has already pointed out the suspicious points to her.
As for the rest, as long as Ying Yu was not stupid, she can find out that… Ying Shuang has been deceiving her!
Gu Changge could already sense the siblings’ antagonism vaguely.
Afterwards, he began to drink alcohol with Ying Yu, even initiating it and it could be seen that she rarely drinks alcohol.
And the wine here, even if the cultivator tries to resolve it with cultivation, the hangover will still be strong.
Ying Yu didn’t expect Gu Changge to pour wine to her and was a little flattered for a while. Although she doesn’t drink, at this time, it was difficult not to give Gu Changge face.
Soon, after a few cups.
She was a little dizzy and almost fell.
Fortunately, Gu Changge was quick-witted and gave her a hand.
“Thank you, Young Master Gu.”
Ying Yu’s head was even more dizzy at this time, and her face was also slightly red.
However, her way of addressing Gu Changge changed.
Gu Changge shook his head a little helplessly, “Miss Ying Yu, how much alcohol did you have…”
The black-clothed man named Agu scratched his head and said flatteringly, “Miss rarely drinks alcohol, so I hope Young Master Changge doesn’t blame her.”
Gu Changge waved his hand, “Then you can take Miss Ying Yu back.”
When he finished speaking, Ying Yu’s two maids stepped forward and took her away.
“Young Master Changge, then we will take out leave first.”
The black-clothed man smiled back, and then led people away.
A strange glint flashed in Gu Changge’s eyes.
Except for him, the rest of the people did not detect the slightest abnormality.
When he was helping Ying Yu just now, he took the opportunity to leave a rune mark on her, just to determine where she and Ying Shuang were.
Moreover, when Ying Yu returned drunk, what would her brother think?
After all, the person who drank with her was him.
Afterwards, the rest of the Young Supreme also said their goodbyes.
But in the end, Ye Langtian and Ye Liuli chose to stay.
They told Gu Changge a lot of news about the True Immortal Academy this time, and even said another thing that made Gu Changge more interested.
“Another Demonic Art’s Inheritor has appeared?”
Gu Changge raised his eyebrows and asked without much change, “Are you sure this is true and not a rumor?”
“My sister and I have seen it with our own eyes. According to my understanding of the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritors, we should not be wrong.”
“At that time, that mysterious man should’ve been cultivating, or he was in the wilderness cultivating with the Origin Essence of some ancient corpses and devouring them. All kinds of scenes are exactly the same as the Forbidden Demonic Arts in the records.”
Ye Langtian said with a heavy expression.
“An Ancient Artifact that was auctioned at that time also involved Forbidden Demonic Arts… It just happened to be auctioned away by that mysterious person.” Ye Liuli also said.
“I see.”
After listening to this, Gu Changge nodded, appearing a little thoughtful.
‘Interesting.’
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Were there real Inheritors of the Forbidden Demonic Arts other than him?
Or was he a fake?
He was born with the Forbidden Demonic Arts, it wasn’t someone’s inheritance.
And the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor that appeared that day… had they accepted the inheritance of a Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor from a certain generation?
However… in Gu Changge’s mind, a figure appeared inexplicably.
Whether it was true or not, he was determined to figure it out.
