Gu Xiqiao agreed to this, but they had diverging views on how they should do it.

Elder, do I really have to do it your way? I can record a video and send it to everyones phones, and everyone would get it, promise! Gu Xiqiao said.

The great elder could compromise with everything Gu Xiqiao wanted, but this was one of the only instances where he couldnt.

Miss Gu, this is the best way to soothe everyone and reap the most benefits from it too! The great elder sighed inwardly. If it were anyone else of Gu Xiqiaos age, they would take every chance they get to flaunt and boast, wouldnt they?

Meanwhile, this girl seemed to hope that no one would think highly of her!

How could such a youngster exist?

The great elder guessed that she was probably someone that was extremely lazy and hated trouble with a passion, judging from how she didnt even appear much after the Mountain Range of Death incident.

How did she have the determination to revolutionize the entire ancient martial arts world, he would never know.

Gu Xiqiao sighed before relenting. Alright, if you insist.

The great elder smiled upon hearing this, knowing that they couldnt do anything if she refused, but she accepted it anyway.

Alright. The great elder nodded, and Gu Xiqiao looked over at Jiang Shuxuan before making her way to the top of the Elders Pavilion, the highest point in the ancient martial arts world!

That night was destined to be one that wouldnt be forgotten for years to come.

In the center of the ancient martial arts world, a thundering roar crashed through the night along with bolts of purple lightning!

From the ones in their homes to the ones training outside, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at this scene dazedly.

It was common knowledge that purple lightning was the signature of Miss Gu, after all!

From all the corners of the ancient martial arts world, the figure of the young lady could be seen standing on the highest point in the land, and coiled above her was a dragon made of lightning. Under the illumination of the lightning, the night itself seemed to become day as her hair danced in the wind, and she truly looked like a goddess on earth.

The next moment, her voice rang loud and clear in everyones ears.

Hello everyone, this is Gu Xiqiao. Im sure youve heard of the rumors about a certain calamity, and let me tell you that the rumors are true! The ancient martial arts world is on the cusp of a calamity, but please do not panic! Believe in the elders, believe in the teams that are risking their lives to become stronger in the Mountain Range of Death, believe in Peace Manor, believe in us, believe in me, and believe in yourselves! We are the ones that will bring forth a miracle, and well get through it, slaying gods and devils if they stand in our way!

Her voice was like dynamite in the middle of the night, and within moments, the entire martial arts world broke out into a great commotion!

It was true that there was a fair amount of them that were uneasy and scared when the rumors first spread, and it could be compared to if someone spread the news of the apocalypse coming.

But now

Gu Xiqiao gave them all great boosts in confidence, and told them that they were the ones that would bring forth miracles!

Slaying gods and devils that stood in their way!

And so, the morale of the entire ancient martial arts world was raised to unbelievable heights!

Right!

Peace Manor was a miracle!

Those people in the Mountain Range of Death were miracles!

Miss Gu herself was the greatest miracle!

With such a person on their side, what challenge would be insurmountable for them?

Right, what even was I scared about?! Its just a calamity! A middle-aged woman that was cutting up vegetables in the kitchen swung down her knife with gusto, cleaving the chopping board clean in half.

Another youngster bounced in place excitedly, his face flushed red in motivation. What calamity would be too much for the ancient martial arts world? Ill kill one when I see one!

Slaying gods and devils in our way! Others chorused.

***

At the same time.

Everyone in the Mountain Range of Death couldnt see Gu Xiqiao, but they all heard what she said, and their attacks became even more brutal and forceful!

Someone carried a beast by the scruff of its neck before swinging it onto the ground, laughing maniacally as they did. A calamity? Were going to beat it up so bad it regrets being born!

Well slay anything that blocks our way!

And so, the poor beasts in the mountain range were subject to even more brutalities, running around with their tails between their legs.

The beasts: [Hey, dont get motivated at our expense! QAQ]

Back at the Elders Pavilion.

Gu Xiqiao jumped down from the top of the tower and walked over to Jiang Shuxuan, completely ignoring the worshipping gazes of the elders.

Jiang Shuxuan held her hand tenderly before looking over at the elders with a cold stare that cooled the heated air and calmed the hearts of the elders.

Well be going home now, then. Jiang Shuxuan said, before walking out with Gu Xiqiao.

The great elder didnt stop them, and only sent them off with a fervent gaze.

Ah, she left just like that? One of the elders came to and suddenly remembered something. My granddaughter wanted me to get a signed picture of her

Well, why didnt you say so earlier?The second elder asked. Miss Gu isnt one to act high and mighty, after all, so she probably wouldnt have refused.

I was scared That elder muttered awkwardly. I was part of the ones that wanted to burn her in the past Upon thinking of this, he couldnt help but feel another pang of regret.

The second elder huffed indignantly in response. Serves you right then!

That elder didnt refute this, and even nodded in agreement. Its true! If I had the chance, I would definitely go back in time and give myself a tight slap in the face!

But in any case, Im sure Miss Gu isnt the type to hold a grudge for so long. Shell definitely forgive you if you apologize earnestly tomorrow. The great elder glanced at them and advised before going back to the Elders Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Jiang Han and Shu Chen had just finished watching the movie and had just returned to the ancient martial arts world, and upon hearing what she said, they both stood there in astonishment as the people on the streets all started to cheer and praise her in excitement.

They knew that Gu Xiqiao had a great influence over the ancient martial arts world, but only now did they know to how much a degree that was!

Jiang Hans thoughts: My future daughter-in-law is going to give me a heart attack someday!

Shu Chen: My future daughter-in-law is the coolest!

Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan were in the study when they got home, and Jiang Han went to the butler and asked, Have you prepared the data I asked you for?

He had barely spoken a word before the butler handed the documents to him with a wry smile.

Shu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, Take your time, hm? Ill go see Qiao Qiao.

Jiang Han didnt reply to this, only flipping the document open and reading through it slowly.

The data that the butler collected didnt have to do with any of her private data, and was instead information that any regular person in the secular world would be able to collect from the internet.

But it was this information that surprised Jiang Han beyond belief.

Gu Xiqiaos strength could be attributed to her latent talent, but everything that was written on these papers

The founder of the Nine Heavens Group!

The one that completely revolutionized medicine!

An artist that was revered and recognized by the international artist community!

Economic wars that shook the soul!

The goddess of the entertainment industry!

None of the feats mentions above could be done by someone that didnt have wisdom, intellect, a broad view, and a strong will!

No wonder Shu Chen said that it was too early for him to be surprised!

Her achievements in the secular world werent lackluster even when compared to her feats in the ancient martial arts world!

Jiang Han looked through these papers a few times more before setting them down on the desk and lighting a cigarette quietly.

Shu Chen came downstairs to see Jiang Han in such a state, and she chuckled. What did I tell you?

You were right. Jiang Han breathed out a puff of smoke. But now I cant help but wonder how much she sacrificed to be where she is today.

Thats true, isnt it. Shu Chen sat by him and sighed softly. This child has tasted enough bitterness for a lifetime.

All I wish for is for Shuxuan to get his memory back as soon as possible. Shu Chen rubbed her temples as she spoke. Only he can help her at this point.

Now that Jiang Shuxuan was in such a state, not only did the girl have to take care of her own matters but even his, too, and she had more than one occasion seen Yi Bing come to seek help from Gu Xiqiao

Meanwhile, at Dubhe abode.

Tengen took another swig of liquor as he looked at how downtrodden Dubhe was. What happened to you, Dubhe? Look at me! Even when my master doesnt want me, I still go to her every day, so youre even worse than I am!

Dubhe stared at him for a long moment, before he said with a dry voice, I made a grave mistake

What mistake would be so bad that you would become like this? Tengen asked.

Miss Gu is the turning point of the ancient martial arts world, but I predicted her to be a calamity and almost killed her Thankfully, Jiang Shuxuan stopped me before I could. Dubhe smiled bitterly at the thought of almost dooming the ancient martial arts world forever.

Bang!

Upon hearing this, Tengens expression turned into one of cold malice, throwing away his bottle of liquor immediately and unsheathing his sword, setting it against Dubhes neck. You almost killed my master?!

This was the first time Tengen had such a great change in expression, and even brought with him a malicious killing aura at that.

Dubhe raised his head, staring at him in disbelief. Did you say that Gu Xiqiao is your master?!
