Chapter 39: Returning to the Place of Seeking the Way, Princess Longji Enters by Mistake

While the Heavenly Court wanted to reap the benefits,

Gu Xiu, having nothing to do on Three Immortals Island, summoned the Water-Fire Qilin and headed toward his former residence.

With two Qilin as a royal carriage, the return was fast, taking only a few hours.

"It's been more than two years since I went back, I don't know how it is..."

Gu Xiu didn't pay much attention to the Yin-Shang affairs. After letting Wen Zhong return, there was nothing to do for the time being.

He could only wait until there was a task before going to Zhaoge.

A few hours later, Gu Xiu returned to his previous residence, which was also his dojo.

The two bamboo houses hadn't changed much, just that there were many more leaves on the ground.

Gu Xiu waved his hand, and the residence took on a new look. The fallen leaves and dust on the ground were completely gone.

"It doesn't look much different from when I left, just a lot more deserted."

"Wait until the middle or late stages of the Investiture of the Gods to live here. As for normal times, I will still go to the Three Immortals Island to sponge off you for food and drink. Going to the Three Immortals Island every few days means there will be no reason for me to live in the cave dwelling on Golden Turtle Island."

He observed the surroundings.

"Although the spiritual energy here is average and it's not a good place to choose a dojo, this is the place where I pursue the immortal Dao, which other places cannot make up for."

Seeing that there was nothing to tidy up outside, Gu Xiu walked toward the house.

Because he lived here with Yun Xiao before, they lived a simple life, and the bamboo house was simple, with a kind of "Great Dao is simple" look.

"Is anyone here?"

While tidying up things inside the house, he heard a crisp female voice coming.

Gu Xiu was very suspicious.

There was no village nearby, and he had set up a barrier, so mortals couldn't break in here at all.

He put down the things in his hand and walked out.

Outside the bamboo house.

It was a woman dressed in palace attire, with a noble temperament and elegant manners.

Gu Xiu was suspicious.

Who is this woman?

"Ding!"

"Detected that Princess Longji, daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, entered this place by mistake. Event options triggered; please make a choice, Host."

"Option One: Tease Princess Longji. Reward: A bottle of Male Vigor Gathering Yang Pill!"

(After taking it, it can gather Yang energy around the body, not only can it enhance male vigor, but it can also strengthen the physique, making men's Yang energy vigorous and showing masculinity.)

"Option Two: Expose Princess Longji's identity. Reward: A sapling of the innate Ren Water Peach Tree!"

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment. Was it because he complained that there were too few peaches on Three Immortals Island that it specifically gave another one?

But he didn't expect the person coming to be Princess Longji. Why did she run here instead of staying in the Green Phoenix Palace on Phoenix Mountain?

This woman would come out to help the Chan Sect in the later stage, and she had a pile of magic treasures on her, causing no small obstacles to Yin-Shang.

He looked at the panel popped up by the system.

Option One, Gu Xiu directly ignored it. He was full of blood and energy, how could he need that kind of thing.

His gaze fell on Option Two, and he recited the choice in his heart.

Then, he said to Princess Longji: "Girl, this place is remote, I don't know who you are? Why did you come here?"

Princess Longji cupped her hands: "Fellow Practitioner, my name is Long Ji. I passed by this place by accident and saw a peach blossom source in this remote place, and there were two bamboo houses. The environment was incomparably elegant. I was curious about which Fellow Practitioner was living in seclusion here. If I offended you, please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter. Fellow Practitioner shouldn't be called Long Ji, but Princess Longji, daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, right?"

Suddenly being pointed out her identity, Princess Longji's eyes narrowed, and she became vigilant.

"Who are you?"

Gu Xiu smiled, his smile revealing a kind of calmness and composure.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You were demoted to the mortal world because you lost etiquette at the Peach Banquet. It should be that the Heavenly Emperor did it on purpose, with the purpose of wanting you to participate in the Investiture of the Gods among the three sects, right? Whoever gains the advantage among the three sects, you will go to help them, which counts as the Heavenly Court's attitude?"

The Investiture of the Gods among the three sects was to work for the Heavenly Court and transport talents.

But there were no people from the Heavenly Court in the Investiture of the Gods. The only thing related to the Heavenly Court was Princess Longji who was demoted to the mortal world.

Originally it was just a guess, but seeing Princess Longji's reaction, Gu Xiu confirmed it by seven or eight points in his heart.

"Who exactly are you?" Princess Longji's expression was cold, and she took out the magic treasures, the Two-Dragon Sword and the Universe Needle, questioning loudly.

Only the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother knew about this matter. Princess Longji didn't understand how Gu Xiu would know these things.

Seeing Princess Longji take out two magic treasures without a word, Gu Xiu was very envious.

A princess demoted to the mortal world had a pile of magic treasures on her, properly a rich woman. These magic treasures made her shine in the Investiture of the Gods. This was also his guess about Princess Longji's standing, representing the Heavenly Court's attitude.

"I am a disciple of the Jie Sect." Gu Xiu said indifferently.

Princess Longji frowned: "You are a disciple of the Jie Sect, why do you know these things?"

Gu Xiu gave the other party a meaningful smile.

"Secret. The Investiture of the Gods is coming, I don't know if Princess Longji can stand on the side of the Jie Sect?"

Princess Longji's beautiful face was cold, and she snorted coldly.

"Since you know those things, you should know that if you want me to stand on the side of the Jie Sect, you have to see how the Jie Sect performs in the Investiture of the Gods. I only stand on the side with the advantage."

Gu Xiu smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, Princess Longji will see the performance of the Jie Sect before long. If Princess Longji chooses the Chan Sect, it will end in tragedy."

"If one day the Old Man under the Moon asks you to tie the knot with a person named Hong Jin, if you come to find me, there may be a turning point."

Suddenly mentioning the name of a person she had never heard of, saying that she would tie the knot with her, made Princess Longji very angry.

"Nonsense! Don't even think about making me help the Jie Sect like this."

She, the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, was high above. As long as she didn't want to, who would dare to make her marry?

Princess Longji turned and left.

"Ding!"

"Task completed, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a sapling of the innate Ren Water Peach Tree!"

The innate peach tree sapling had been obtained.

Princess Longji was no longer important.

If she could be won over, that would be fine. If she couldn't be won over, she would be sent to the list then.

After Princess Longji left, Gu Xiu extracted the innate peach tree sapling and planted it in the ground.

"In this way, one on Three Immortals Island and one here, although it can't buy off the immortals, it's enough to be self-sufficient."

When Gu Xiu returned here.

With the pushing of the Heavenly Court,

the rumors about Master Yuding going to the East Sea and being beaten up by the Three Xiao Sisters, and being chased and beaten by a third-generation disciple, and having an immortal root broken, spread wildly in the Three Realms.

Not many people cared about the truth.

They only knew that Master Yuding was beaten by someone from the Jie Sect when he was in the East Sea.

As it spread more and more widely, many versions were derived, but only Gu Xiu remained the protagonist.

It became Master Yuding being defeated by a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, kneeling and begging for mercy, and having an immortal root broken, only then saving his life.

This matter soon spread to East Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.

Several of the Twelve Golden Immortals rushed to Mount Kunlun.

Wanting to find out what was going on.

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun said: "I believe all fellow brothers heard the recent rumors in the Three Realms before returning to Mount Kunlun, right?"

Daoxing Tianzun said slowly: "Master Yuding mainly practices the sword Dao and focuses on killing. How could he be defeated by a third-generation disciple?"

Cihang Daoist looked at everyone, parted his lips.

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, Yuding made our Chan Sect lose so much face, we must retaliate, otherwise they will really think we are not as good as that group of people in the Jie Sect."

At this time, Guangchengzi and Chijingzi came in together from outside.

"I have seen Senior Brother Guangchengzi, Senior Brother Chijingzi."

Guangchengzi nodded: "Are you fellow brothers also back because you heard about Yuding? I have already sent a letter to Yuding. Let's wait for Yuding to come and ask about the situation clearly."

In the Primordial land, in a certain mountain.

Master Yuding was sitting on a stone. For this period of time, he had been teaching Yuan Hong the Eight-Nine Profound Art here.

Suddenly, a golden sticker fell from the sky and hit him on the head. Yuding picked it up and looked at it.

It told about him being beaten up by Gu Xiu, kneeling and begging for mercy, and having his immortal root broken.

Master Yuding was furious.

"Unreasonable, who is spreading these rumors, wanting to defame me, Master Yuding?"

As he spoke, a golden book flew over, which was the information sent by Guangchengzi.

Master Yuding opened it and immediately set off for Mount Kunlun. ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
