Chapter 102

In the entire Immortal Palace, Yin Li was not the only one who kept secrets from him. Even Xian 'e, the attendant, was evasive when talking to him. When it came to the key points, Xian' e would not say a word no matter what.

Even a ghost would not believe that there was nothing to hide!

But no matter how much he suspected, Gu Bai could not resist for the time being. He could only chat with Xian 'e, the attendant, and try his best to get information. He also had to think of a way to leave this palace.

Yes, he had to leave as soon as possible. Although Yin Li seemed to be very obedient to him and gave him whatever he wanted, he was very stubborn about some things.

Even though he had promised to give him time to slowly accept everything, he had already started to prepare for the Dual Cultivation Ceremony.

Once the Dual Cultivation Ceremony was completed, it would be difficult for him to leave the Immortal Palace.

In his previous life as a demon during a mission, he learned from the demon's inherited knowledge that the Dual Cultivation Ceremony in the Immortal World was different from the one in the Immortal World. Once the Dual Cultivation Ceremony was completed, it would be a lifelong marriage that could not be separated forever!

He would never accept this fact. And Ye Cang, he did not know how he was doing now.

With such an anxious mood, Gu Bai chatted with Xian 'e in a roundabout way every day. After half a month, he finally had some results.

These attendants were indeed very tight-lipped, but they were not completely flawless. After tireless efforts, he finally analyzed some clues.

That was that although Yin Baigu did not have many friends in the Heavenly Palace, he was very close to Feng Siming and Fairy Yao Ji in the Immortal World. They were very good friends.

This Feng Siming was the man in white standing beside Yin Li when he woke up. He was the leader of the Phoenix Clan in the Immortal World. The Nirvana Method that Yin Baigu used was provided by him.

Gu Bai also believed that Yin Baigu and this Feng Siming should have been good friends.

Ever since he came to the Celestial Realm, other than Attendant Xian 'e and Yin Li, the person he met the most was Feng Siming. Feng Siming didn't talk much, but he would occasionally take the initiative to drink with him or play chess with him. His attitude was very familiar and gentle.

As for the other Fairy Yao Ji, her real name was Lu Yaoji. She had a great background and was the daughter of the previous Emperor. She was also Yin Li's Junior Sister and had known him since the Lower Bound.

However, according to the attendant Xian 'e, Lu Yaoji had a cold personality. She had not stepped out of her palace for thousands of years and lived in seclusion. He had not seen her for the time being, so he was not too sure.

Since the reclusive Lu Yaoji could not be seen for the time being, Gu Bai could only turn his attention to Feng Siming.

However, compared to Xian 'e, this Feng Siming was even more tight-lipped. Even his expression didn't change much. From beginning to end, he answered with a respectful expression.

"Immortal Baigu, why are you clinging to the memories of the past? As a person, one must always look forward …"

Why are you clinging to the past?

If there was nothing else, what's the point of telling him more about the past?

Gu Bai continued with a smile, "Although one must look forward, it would be a pity to lose such beautiful memories of the past. Feng Siming, is there really no way to recover your memories?"

"The Nirvana Art is an inheritance of the Phoenix Clan. Once it is used, it will wash away the past and there is no way to recover it. There has never been an accident since ancient times …"

Feng Siming answered gently and respectfully.

"Alright, since that's the case, then forget it … By the way, Feng Siming, I was chatting with the attendant Xian 'e a few days ago. I heard that Feng Siming and I used to drink and chat a lot. I think we should have a good relationship. But why is it that ever since we returned to the Immortal Realm, Feng Siming and I have been so estranged?"

Gu Bai stared at Feng Siming with shining eyes and smiled faintly.

This time, Feng Siming did not answer immediately. A crack finally appeared on his face. His eyes flickered as he looked at Gu Bai.

But soon, he regained his calm and gentle demeanor.

"Immortal Baigu is of noble status. This little immortal does not dare to be friends with Immortal Master. I only occasionally play chess with Immortal Master to pass the time …"

Since he had already said so much, it would be the same if he continued probing. Gu Bai did not ask any more questions. He smiled and sent him off.

So what if he was tight-lipped? In the end, he still exposed himself. It seemed that the question of whether Feng Siming and the former Yin Baigu were good friends was worth considering.

Now that Feng Siming was gone, the only clue left was Lu Yaoji.

The dual cultivation ceremony was just around the corner. Gu Bai did not have much time to think and plan. Since Lu Yaoji was the only clue left, he had to find a way to take a look no matter what.

The dual cultivation ceremony of the Celestial Realm's Celestial Emperor was extremely grand. Even though there were Celestial Ministers to manage the ceremony, as the main character of the ceremony, Yin Li was still very busy. Gu Bai quickly found an opportunity to slip away.

Lu Yaoji's Immortal Palace was not hard to find. Even though she usually lived in seclusion and had not appeared in public for thousands of years, as the daughter of the previous Celestial Emperor, her status was noble. Naturally, the Immortal Palace she lived in was the most imposing one aside from the Celestial Emperor's.

Gu Bai quickly found the place, but it was different from the palace he had imagined.

Although Lu Yaoji's Immortal Palace was imposing, when he slipped in, he discovered that not only was there not a single Immortal to serve her, but the entire courtyard was barren and overgrown with weeds. It looked like a place that had been abandoned for a long time.

She was the daughter of the previous Celestial Emperor. Even if she was in seclusion to cultivate, she shouldn't be neglected like this, right?

Gu Bai's sharp senses sensed that something was amiss. He began to search the entire Immortal Palace. Finally, he found movement in one of the palaces.

He saw that the palace in the center of the Immortal Palace was sealed by a white light barrier. It was so airtight that even the weeds outside could not grow in. It was isolated from the world.

And in that palace, a beautiful woman dressed in elegant palace attire sat on the threshold of the palace gate. Although her clothes were clean, her hair was messy. Her expression was indescribable. She would laugh and cry from time to time, as if she was crazy.

"Who is it?!"

Suddenly, the woman in palace attire sensed Gu Bai's presence. She raised her head and looked in his direction.

Gu Bai did not hide. He walked over confidently. Looking at the woman's appearance, he was afraid that she was trapped in the light barrier and could not come out. He had no need to be afraid.

Immortal cultivators' five senses were extremely sensitive, not to mention those who had ascended to immortality. The woman in palace attire locked her gaze on Gu Bai the moment he walked out.

The moment she saw Gu Bai's appearance, her pupils shrank. Her sharp gaze turned into one of panic. She stumbled to the edge of the light barrier and screamed, losing her composure.

"Yin Baigu!"

Gu Bai's pupils shrank when he heard the woman's voice. He held his breath.

Although everyone thought he was Yin Baigu, he had returned to the Immortal Realm in spirit form. His appearance was also Gu Bai's.

If he hadn't said anything, no one would have recognized him on their first meeting. But this woman had recognized him at first glance and reacted so strongly …

Gu Bai did not speak for the time being. However, the woman in palace attire was extremely agitated. After losing her composure for a short while, she lost control of her emotions and hit the light barrier with both hands.

"It really is you! That aura from that day was really you!

You're actually still alive!

If you wanted to die, why didn't you die more thoroughly? Why did you come back? How is this possible? How can you still be alive … "

Towards the end, the woman in palace attire began to cry again, as if she was unwilling to accept reality.

Gu Bai looked at her crazed expression. He was not angry that she was cursing him. Instead, he felt a sense of joy in his heart when he heard her words.

After staying in the Immortal Realm for so many days, he had finally made a breakthrough. Looking at the woman's crazed appearance, she was much easier to deal with than Feng Siming, who was stubborn.

Gu Bai's thoughts turned. He stared at her and smiled faintly. "Why can't I come back …"

It was only a faint smile, but the woman in palace attire was so agitated that she could not control her emotions. She stared fixedly at Gu Bai and continued to scream crazily.

"Yin Baigu, you're a scourge! You deserve to die!

You're nothing but a puppet, a puppet for others to use. Who do you think you are!

I'm the daughter of the Celestial Emperor, the daughter of the Celestial Emperor of the Immortal Realm. How dare he treat me like this for you. Why … "

The woman in palace attire screamed with all her might. Her eyes were filled with hatred and madness. If it weren't for the light shield, Gu Bai had no doubt that this woman would pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

Gu Bai stared blankly at the crazy woman in front of him. The smile on his face grew wider and wider.

Ignoring the woman's madness, he moved closer to the light shield and continued.

"So what if I'm a puppet?

I still came back alive. Oh right, I'll tell you another piece of news. In a few days, he and I will be holding a dual cultivation ceremony … "

"Dual cultivation ceremony … No, no!"

The woman in palace attire shook her head in disbelief. Her eyes were wide and bloodshot. She pounded on the light shield with all her might and screamed desperately.

"How can you hold a dual cultivation ceremony!

Yin Baigu, are you crazy?

You actually want to dual cultivate with him!

You're taking revenge on me. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?! "

"Yes, I am taking revenge on you …" Gu Bai narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"No …"

Hearing this, the woman in palace attire's eyes turned even redder. The hatred in her eyes couldn't be any greater. She bared her eyes, and her crazy face was filled with intense hatred. But soon, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Yin Baigu, you're stupid. Even after three thousand years, you're still so stupid!

Have you forgotten Ye Cang?

Don't you love him so much?

Do you love him so much that you're cursing me with your life?

Now you're using this method to take revenge on me. You actually want to be with Yin Li?

Do you know what Ye Cang did for you after you died?

Hahaha, you don't know, you don't know … "

"What don't I know?"

"Hahaha, I won't tell you. I'm guessing Yin Li won't tell you either. He's been waiting for this moment for so long. How could he dare to tell you? Yin Baigu, I'll watch you. I'll watch you suffer more than I do. Hahaha …"

The woman in palace attire laughed maniacally. It was as if all her hatred had disappeared overnight, leaving only a twisted sense of joy.

Just as the woman in palace attire was laughing heartily, Gu Bai suddenly felt a powerful aura approach. A golden light fell on the woman's body, and she was slammed into the wall. She spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before Gu Bai could react, Yin Li, who was wearing a golden brocade robe and a jade crown, had already teleported in front of him. He stared at the woman in palace attire in the light barrier with an ugly expression.

The woman's face was filled with fear when she saw Yin Li appear. But then, she became crazy again and continued to laugh.

"What, are you angry?

Hahaha! Kill me! Kill me! Kill me!

But don't forget, Yin Li, if you kill me, he won't live either!

But don't worry, I didn't say anything to him. I really want to see you two hold the dual cultivation ceremony. I'll be unhappy for the rest of my life, but he'll have to suffer for the rest of his life. How could I ruin it? Hahaha … "

"Shut up!"

Yin Li's expression was extremely ugly, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He couldn't help but launch another palm strike at the woman in the light barrier. Only then did he quickly grab Gu Bai and leave.

Gu Bai wasn't strong enough, so he didn't resist and allowed Yin Li to take him away. However, the smile on his face grew wider and wider as he listened to the resentful laughter behind him.
