Chapter 1969

Originally, the distance to the Gu family was not great, and He Pingsheng had initially brought Gu Ruyi to test the flying vessel.

Thus, it only took over twenty breaths for He Pingsheng's flying vessel to return to the Gu family gate.

"Open the door quickly!"

The three jumped down from the flying vessel.

He Pingsheng stowed the flying vessel, then supported Lian Nihong as they entered the Gu family!

"Activate the formation..."

"Enemy attack!"

"Open the defensive grand formation!"

Gu Ruyi is the daughter of the family head; before the family head departed, he entrusted all authority in the household to her, so at this moment, with a single command, the Gu family's defensive grand formation boomed open.

A fourth-tier grand formation!

As the family's defensive grand formation just opened, two streaks of flowing light descended from outside.

They were the two who had just pursued Lian Nihong.

"Thud..." Lian Nihong sat down heavily on the ground, saying: "Finally escaped!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Who are these two fellows?"

Lian Nihong replied: "The woman is my younger sister, Lian Niyun!"

"The man is her lover, and also my father's killer, Fifth Ren Song!"

Indeed!

Exactly as He Pingsheng had previously guessed.

"So it's the eldest young lady of the Gu family..." Outside, Fifth Ren Song held a divine spear in his hand, standing high in the void and loudly declaring: "We of the Bing Mountain and you of the Funan Mountain have always had no grudges!"

"Moreover, we are still your business partners!"

"Please have the head of the Gu family come out to talk!"

Fifth Ren Song's face was full of confidence; he believed that as long as Gu Chizi came over, he would certainly give Fifth Ren Song face.

But Gu Ruyi said: "You came at an inconvenient time; my father is not at home now!"

"How about this: wait until he returns from his travels, then you can come talk to him!"

"What?" Fifth Ren Song's face darkened as he said: "Not at home?"

"Damn it..."

"Miss Gu, our Fifth family and yours have had no past grudges and no recent enmity, and I also do not wish to create a feud with you!"

"The person you saved is from the Lian family; she betrayed her clan and deserves death—this is our family's internal affair, so please do not interfere, Gu family!"

"Although Gu Chizi is powerful, if we Fifth family join forces with the Lian family, the three great divine sovereigns will press upon your borders!"

"I just don't believe your Gu family can withstand it!"

After speaking, this fellow fiercely swung his divine spear, unleashing a heavy blow that struck the light membrane of the defensive formation below.

Massive energy fluctuations collided, sending out ripples of energy that sprayed along the formation's light membrane.

The Gu family's defensive grand formation trembled.

"They can't break it!" Gu Ruyi said: "It's just consuming some divine gold!"

He Pingsheng took out a ring containing ten thousand pieces of medium-grade divine gold: "Here... Miss Gu, thank you for your protection, but this consumption is on me, He Pingsheng!"

"Hehehe..." Gu Ruyi chuckled: "Very well said, very well said..."

"Big Brother He, you two go wait in the guest hall for now; I'll handle some family affairs and come later!"

He Pingsheng brought Lian Nihong into the Gu family's main hall.

"How are you?" he asked: "Has your cultivation recovered?"

"Mm!" Lian Nihong weakly nodded, wearing a bitter smile: "Recovered it is, but when I returned to the family, I originally wanted to reform the family's customs—unexpectedly, my sister schemed against me and had me imprisoned!"

"Now I know, Lian Niyun is not feigning allegiance to the Fifth family for revenge; she has truly defected to the Fifth family!"

"Damn it... damn it..."

"Even the sea of blood from my father's death is ignored..."

He Pingsheng said nothing, after all, he did not know the full circumstances, nor did he understand this person, Lian Niyun.

After a while, Gu Ruyi came again.

"Rest assured, our Gu family's defensive mechanisms have already been activated, plus the ten thousand medium-grade divine gold from Daoist He... hahaha..."

"Even if they attack continuously without eating or drinking, they won't break our grand formation within a yuan of time!"

"Look at this!" Gu Ruyi handed a jade slip to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng took it suspiciously, then sent a thread of Divine Sense into it.

Several characters jumped into his divine awareness: Dong Xu True Eye.

Outline!

This is a divine ability similar to the 【Heavenly Eye Feng Shui True Explanation】 that He Pingsheng cultivated in the Spirit Realm; after cultivation, one can see through everything with the eyes.

It allows one to see through others' cultivation without scanning with Divine Sense.

"Daoist Gu, this is..." He Pingsheng withdrew his Divine Sense from the jade slip and asked: "Did you previously see through the divine orifices and cultivation using this?"

"No!" Gu Ruyi shook her head: "Seeing through others' cultivation relies on this, but seeing through divine orifices does not—divine orifices relate to my constitution!"

"Daoist He... lend me your flying vessel 【God Mystic Heaven Vessel】, and I will use this technique to exchange for it!"

"Also, our Gu family will continue to protect you two for a period until my father returns!"

"What do you think?"

He Pingsheng hesitated not at all, directly producing the intact God Mystic Heaven Vessel and giving it to Gu Ruyi: "I agree!"

This Gu family young lady left He Pingsheng with a good impression.

At the crucial moment he doesn't waver, and he wouldn't run off first and sell out his teammates.

This woman keeps a clear head when facing danger too.

"Great!" Gu Ruyi said after getting the flying boat: "Let's go... you two probably haven't seen each other in a long time, right?"

"Go go go... I'll arrange a daoist hall for you two!"

"You two can pour your hearts out to each other!"

He Pingsheng:..........

Lian Nihong's face flushed red.

Looks like Gu Ruyi misunderstood.

He Pingsheng didn't explain either!

Soon, He Pingsheng and Lian Nihong were arranged in a certain grand hall on the Gu clan's back mountain.

This grand hall exclusively occupied a mountain peak.

"How long until your father returns?" He Pingsheng asked.

Gu Ruyi said: "Who knows... maybe three to five days, or maybe three to five years, or even a dozen epochs!"

"The old man's whereabouts are unpredictable, I can't guess!"

"Don't worry, just stay here with peace of mind!"

"Also, I'll promptly report the outside situation to you!"

After Gu Ruyi finished speaking, she left gracefully.

Only Lian Nihong remained on this mountain peak and in this grand hall.

"Are you injured?" He Pingsheng looked at Lian Nihong and asked.

Lian Nihong nodded: "Yes... the injuries don't matter, just some superficial wounds, the trouble is my Divine Sense is injured, and my origin is also injured!"

"That beast Lian Niyun, to actually torture me like this!"

He Pingsheng said: "I told you back then, didn't let you return home rashly, and you still didn't believe me?"

Lian Nihong said: "Yeah... but at that time my cultivation had already recovered to its peak, I always felt going back wouldn't be a big problem, at least I had self-protection ability!"

"Who could have thought that the always obedient and sensible little sister would actually lead a wolf into the house?"

"Sigh..." Lian Nihong sighed deeply.

He Pingsheng then took out some top-grade Sanzhang Valley and gave it to Lian Nihong: "This thing can treat your Divine Sense injuries!"

"You recover first!"
