Chapter 126: He Is Not An Ordinary Man!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Some changes in the realm?

Qin Manyun’s heart sank.

Gu Ziyao’s father was one of the few Mahayala cultivators in this realm. As the bridge between this realm and the Immortal Land, he was naturally sensitive to the changes in this realm. So, what actually happened in this realm?

If there were changes, it would not be a small matter. It was unlikely that she had not heard anything about it.

Just as she was about to question further, a ball of light rushed over from a short distance away. He seemed rather depressed and empty but he was also smiling and crying—a set of mixed expressions.

After he landed on the ground, he looked at Gu Ziyao and Qin Manyun. Without even greeting them, he retreated blankly to his room.

Gu Ziyao frowned. She said, “Gu Ziyu, what’s wrong with you!?”

Gu Ziyu jolted. It was only then he snapped back to reality. He looked at Gu Ziyao in terror and shrank a little. “Sister.”

Gu Ziyao shook her head. “We have a guest. Why didn’t you greet her?”

Gu Ziyu turned to look at Qin Manyun. He said hastily, “Sister Manyun. What brings you here?”

Qin Manyun smiled. “I’m here to attend the Azure Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony. I came by to say hello.”

Gu Ziyao looked at Gu Ziyu with suspicion. “What happened? You seem zoned out. Did someone trick you again?”

Her younger brother was indeed gifted in cultivation, but his brain was too simple and he was always impatient. He did things without thinking and would fuss over small matters. He was not the one bringing pride to the family, but he had the potential to bring them shame.

Gu Ziyu said hastily, “No, I’m not a fool. How would I be tricked again? I went to the Immortal Guest House to listen to ‘Journey to the West’. It was the final session today.”

“‘Journey to the West’ has ended? Did the group eventually gain the Truth?” Gu Ziyao could not help asking.

She did not like being seen in public, so she always had her brother retell the story to her so she was caught up to date.

Gu Ziyu shook his head and said with a displeased tone, “Obviously! It was an expected ending anyway.”

“Expected?” Gu Ziyao looked at her brother strangely. She felt that he was acting strange today.

Usually, he would immediately tell her what he had heard from the day’s session. He would usually be utterly impressed by the group and their journey. But now…he seemed rather scornful?

Gradually, a look of excitement appeared on Gu Ziyu’s face as he said in a mysterious tone, “Sister, I met a mysterious man today.”

“You met yet another mysterious man?” Gu Ziyao gasped sarcastically. She was all too familiar with this conversation. Her brother would always speak with this tone and expression whenever he got tricked by another conman.

Her face darkened as she asked, “How did this person trick you this time?”

“I wasn’t tricked! I promise! He’s a mysterious man!” Gu Ziyu’s face was very solemn. He continued, “Although he’s only an ordinary man, the things he said were filled with knowledge and wisdom. So well-put! You’ve no idea how I felt just now. I was completely stunned!”

Ordinary man?

Gu Ziyao’s face darkened further. She could not help covering her face with her hand in shame. Her brother was tricked by an ordinary man again. She was embarrassed on his behalf!

She glanced at Qin Manyun with an awkward look. “Oh, this is embarrassing.”

“Sister, why won’t you believe me? With such wisdom, I don’t think he’s an ordinary man at all!” Gu Ziyu grew more impatient. “Did you know? The whole idea behind ‘Journey to the West’ is such a joke! I finally see it! If you don’t believe me, I’ll tell you.”

Gu Ziyao shook her head. “No need. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.”

Qin Manyun who was by the side said, “Sister Ziyao, why don’t we hear him out?”

After meeting Li Nianfan, she no longer looked down on ordinary men.

Gu Ziyao sighed. “Whatever, let’s see what you’ve got this time.”

Gu Ziyu’s face lit up. It was finally showtime! He was going to shock and impress the two for them. He shook his head like a drunk man trying to get in the mood. He then imitated Li Nianfan’s tone and repeated the words he used as he began retelling them what Li Nianfan said.

At first, Gu Ziyao did not take it seriously as she did not expect anything from her brother. However, her face turned more and more solemn as time passed. Her beautiful eyes gazed at Gu Ziyu, completely intrigued. She never thought her brother could stun her!

Did he truly meet a mysterious man this time?

Qin Manyun’s pupils dilated. She felt a sense of familiarity listening to this tone and words. Her heart skipped a beat.

By then, Gu Ziyu had already finished speaking. He smoothened his clothes and said with a smile, “What now? Impressed by me?”

Gu Ziyao looked at him with a solemn look. “Who told you this?”

“Damn! I forgot to ask for his name!” Gu Ziyu panicked as he slammed on his chest. “I’m such a fool! How could I forget such an important thing?”

Gu Ziyao rubbed her head as well. She was speechless by her brother.

Qin Manyun took a deep breath. She looked at Gu Ziyu, “Are you sure he’s an ordinary man? Are there any other details?”

Gu Ziyu nonchalantly said, “Yes, I’m sure he’s an ordinary man. However, he ordered a table full of dishes in the Immortal Guest House. And, there was an extremely beautiful woman accompanying him. The woman was also an ordinary person.”

Qin Manyun’s eyes widened as her body jolted. She jumped up in shock and cried out, “So, it’s really him!”

Gu Ziyao asked hastily, “Sister Manyun, you know this man?”

“Not just that. The reason I’m here is to accompany this man!” Qin Manyun smiled bitterly as she said with a solemn tone, “He’s not an ordinary man. He’s a very powerful expert. It was an unimaginably big opportunity for Ziyu for being able to speak to him.”

A powerful expert?

Opportunity?

Gu Ziyao was transfixed in his spot. What Qin Manyun said was too fictional. He could not believe it.

What kind of man was that? To be spoken of so highly by Qin Manyun in the territory of Azure Ville?!

Gu Ziyu was initially transfixed, but he said excitedly, “Sister Manyun knows this person? I knew he wasn’t just another ordinary man. What’s the name of this hero? I want to be friends with him!”

“Be friends with him?” Qin Manyun could not help smiling. She looked at Gu Ziyu with a strange look. “I don’t mean to insult you, but even your father has no right to be friends with him! Even an Immortal would have to look up at him. In fact, the beautiful woman you spoke of is an Immortal!”
