Chapter 593
"Humph, why do women have to marry? Do I need a man to protect me?"
Gu Lianyue rolled her eyes at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was speechless. As a famous female overlord, thousands of men were not as good as her. To her, men were indeed dispensable.
"Hurry up and pack up. Get ready to go," Gu Lianyue urged.
Gu Chen nodded and went back to his room to pack up. When he came out, he had changed into a white robe and looked handsome and elegant.
"Cousin Gu Chen, if you go to Bixia Villa with your appearance, you will definitely attract many good-looking girls from the Celestial Sects."
Seeing this, Gu Ziyan teased him with a smile.
"That's right. That head of white hair is so unique."
Gu Lianyue said as she walked out of the courtyard.
Gu Chen shook his head. How could he not know that his cousin was being sarcastic?
Speaking of which, although his Heavenly Overlord Bone had been repaired and his lifespan had been greatly extended, the white hair had not disappeared.
Even though the white hair no longer looked withered and shone like jade, Gu Chen still felt that it was too ostentatious.
He thought that this was because his lifespan was still far less than that of cultivators of the same level.
After all, he had really exhausted his lifespan. Even if he had a breakthrough, cultivators of the same level could live for thousands of years, but he had only lived for hundreds of years.
The cost of reversing time was too great. If he wanted to restore his lifespan to the same level as others, he would probably have to cultivate to a higher level.
Gu Chen followed the two girls to the square of the ancient town. At the moment, there was a flying ship parked in the square.
This ship would take them to Bixia Villa. There were five senior members of the Gu Clan and five young people with them.
The Clan Leader and Great Elder had not arrived yet. Only Gu Zhaixing and Gu Shenming were there.
Seeing the three of them, Gu Shenming greeted them one by one.
Gu Zhaixing only nodded at Gu Lianyue and Gu Ziyan. As for Gu Chen, he treated him like air.
Logically, the two of them had no grudges and were considered to be of the same clan. They should have greeted each other, but Gu Zhaixing's attitude was too arrogant.
Gu Chen didn't mind. He wasn't familiar with this person. If this person ignored him, Gu Chen didn't want to bother with him either, so he didn't want to bother with him.
The five of them were going to participate in the Grand Immortal Ascension Grand Ceremony together. They were looking forward to this grand ceremony that would attract the attention of the entire continent. While waiting for their elders, they couldn't help but have a heated discussion.
"I'm afraid the continent's top ten prodigies will all be gathered at this grand meeting. Sister Lian Yue should be looking forward to challenging the various experts at the grand meeting, right? Do you have a target now? "
Gu Ziyan asked with a smile.
As soon as he said this, the three men couldn't help but listen attentively. They were very interested.
The female overlord, Gu Lian Yue, was famous on the mainland for her belligerence. This time, she was going to the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly, where experts were as numerous as clouds, so it would be strange if she didn't cause a ruckus.
"Yes, I already have a target. This time, I will find a chance to challenge all of them."
Gu Lianyue said calmly.
"Ah?"
The four of them were stunned and could not react for a moment.
Gu Zhaixing was the first to understand what she meant. He looked a little nervous. "You won't even let me go?"
"It depends on the situation. If there's a need to fight with you, you'll have to make do."
Gu Lianyue's tone was too calm, making it hard to tell whether she was joking or not.
Gu Zhaixing suddenly looked helpless. "Sister Lian Yue, I was bullied by you since I was young …"
"So what? You're the only one in the clan who can reluctantly spar with me. Oh, that's right. This year, there's also this brat, Gu Chen. If there's a need, I'll look for you. "
Gu Lianyue looked at Gu Chen as she said this.
Hearing this, Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming were secretly surprised. Gu Lianyue's words were extremely high praise. It meant that she thought Gu Chen was already qualified for her to fight.
Gu Zhaixing's face immediately darkened. He didn't expect that in his cousin's eyes, this brat who had just returned from outside could actually be mentioned in the same breath as him!
If it was someone else who said this, he would definitely teach them a lesson. However, he knew Gu Lianyue's strength and temper too well. In the clan, she was fully deserving of being the eldest cousin. He didn't dare to provoke her.
"Cousin, if there's anything you need, just tell me."
Gu Chen smelled something unusual. Gu Lianyue actually wanted to challenge the various geniuses one by one during the grand event. Was there a need to even beat up her own people? Wasn't this similar to how he had fought against the various kings back then?
He guessed that she might be facing a bottleneck in her cultivation. Thinking of the help she had given him, he immediately made this promise seriously.
"Very good. You're a good friend." Gu Lianyue smiled when she heard this.
Gu Zhaixing saw that Gu Chen agreed so readily as if he had really reached the level of a genius. He couldn't help but snort coldly.
He didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed that he didn't care about being placed in the same category as Gu Chen.
"Cousin Zhaixing, what about you? Do you have an opponent you want to challenge this time?"
Gu Ziyan sensed that the atmosphere wasn't quite right and quickly changed the topic.
"Of course. If there's a chance this time, I plan to spar with Zuo Chunqiu from the Tiandao Sect."
Gu Zhaixing replied with a face full of arrogance.
"Zuo Chunqiu …"
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and recalled the brief contact he had with that person.
That person was Xiao Jing's Senior Brother. In his impression, he was not a simple person.
Would he have a chance to see him when he returned to the Immortal Ascension Grand Meet?
"Rumor has it that Zuo Chunqiu's 94 Great Derivation Dao has reached perfection and he has grasped the true meaning of the 94 numbers. Sparring with him will be of great help to me. Moreover, the Tiandao Sect and my Gu Clan are enemies. Defeating him will also prove the strength of my Gu Clan. "
Gu Zhaixing said ambitiously. He wanted to show off his skills at the Grand Meet and obtain even greater glory.
This was also what the elders of the Lingtai Lineage had told him. He had to make a name for himself as much as possible so that he would have more qualifications to take over the position of the Clan Leader in the future.
"It seems that this year's Immortal Ascension Grand Meet will have an exciting scene of a battle between geniuses. We won't be able to do that. We can only sit there and be a foil. We can also go to the Immortal Ascension Market Square to take a look."
Gu Shenming sighed. Every time the Immortal Ascension Grand Meet, the recognized geniuses of the continent would definitely fight each other. All the major forces wanted to prove that their next generation was more outstanding.
On the highest stage of the continent, people like him and Gu Ziyan could only be considered second-rate geniuses. They would not be able to cause any waves at all.
"It's not bad to go to the Immortal Ascension Market Square. My two cousins, this time we have to go together."
Gu Ziyan stuck out her tongue at Gu Chen and Gu Shenming and winked at them.
The two of them immediately understood what she meant, and their faces were full of smiles.
The so-called Immortal Ascension Market Square was a large-scale market formed half a month before and after the Immortal Ascension Grand Meet. This was because the Grand Meet would attract countless cultivators from all the major forces of the continent. This was a great opportunity to trade goods.
Some treasures that were usually difficult to buy could be found during the Grand Meet. Some treasures that were originally rare could be sold at sky-high prices on such an occasion.
The three of them had obtained many good things from the Immortal Elixir's cave. When they returned to the Immortal Ascension Grand Meet, it was a great opportunity to sell them.
