Chapter 935

Hearing the words' go back together ', Xiao Hu's heart couldn't help but twitch violently. He then glared at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen only smiled without saying a word.

Gu Yue asked, "My father has long wanted to meet you. He wants to see the great hero who killed the spirit body. Zi Chen, do you have time today?"

Zi Chen ignored Gu Hu's pleading gaze and smiled, "I just came back. Since the great beauty Gu Yue invited me, I have to squeeze some time out even if I don't have time."

Gu Yue's face immediately turned red.

Gu Hu thought to himself, 'It's over.' He then quickly looked at Gu Mei and Gu Xun. The three of them were communicating with their eyes.

Zi Chen paused for a moment and said, "But I'm afraid it's not good for me to go alone. Can I bring my brother along?"

Zi Chen was naturally referring to the devil ape. Gu Yue nodded, "Sure."

Gu Hu thought to himself, 'There's hope.' His gaze immediately changed as if urging the two.

The crowd dispersed. Gu Yue brought Zi Chen back to her house. Behind her were the unhappy Gu Hu and the devil ape.

Seeing Gu Hu's expression, the devil ape chuckled. In front of them, Gu Yue asked Zi Chen about the matter of killing the spirit body. She asked very carefully, and her eyes flashed with a colorful light.

"You seem to be very interested in the spirit body." Zi Chen suddenly asked.

Gu Yue was startled. Her expression changed slightly as she said, "The spirit body is said to be invincible. It's said to be miraculous. Once, it even killed a genius of our ancient race. That genius was very strong and his comprehension of techniques was even more advanced. Even so, he was still killed. It's not just me, but all of the ancient race are very curious about the spirit body."

Just as they were talking, the two of them arrived at Gu Yue's house. As soon as they reached the door, a burly man who resembled Gu Hu walked out. When he saw Zi Chen in front of him, his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "This must be little friend Zi Chen. Come, come in quickly."

"Zi Chen greets Uncle. This is my brother, the devil ape." Zi Chen introduced.

Gu Hu's father was very gratified when he heard the word 'uncle'. He looked at the Devil Ape and laughed, "Haha, the Sky Splitting Battle Ape bloodline is very strong. Come in quickly, come in quickly."

The Devil Ape nodded but didn't say anything. He really couldn't bring himself to call the other party uncle.

Just as they entered and sat down, a beautiful woman came to pour water for Zi Chen and the others. She was Gu Hu's mother. Gu Hu called out when she came in.

It was obvious that the woman doted on Gu Hu. After pouring the tea, she left with Gu Yue.

"Haha, an esteemed guest has arrived. Gu Yue is going to personally cook and display her culinary skills. This old fellow is in for a treat." Gu Hu's father laughed heartily.

Gu Hu's father's questions were almost all related to Gu Yue. For example, Zi Chen, what do you think of Gu Yue? Zi Chen, when did you meet Gu Yue?

Zi Chen responded to them one by one with an awkward expression. It was as if he was meeting the parents.

Soon, a large table of dishes was placed on the table. The dishes were exquisite and delicious. It was obvious that Gu Yue's culinary skills were not bad. A woman like her could be said to be a good cook. Of course, she wasn't weak either.

"Zi Chen, I heard that you have a good tolerance for alcohol. Come, let's have a toast." During the meal, Gu Hu's father said the most.

His face was flushed, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

Moreover, during the banquet, it wasn't hard to tell that he wanted to matchmake the two of them. Gu Yue sat beside Zi Chen. From the moment they sat at the table, her face was flushed red, and she would occasionally pick up food for Zi Chen.

In the banquet, the one who felt the most uncomfortable was Gu Hu. However, unlike his usual self, he didn't immediately fly into a rage. Instead, he looked at Zi Chen with a hint of resentment. The family's enthusiasm, coupled with Gu Yue's gentleness, made Zi Chen restless. He couldn't take it. On the other hand, the Devil Ape was carefree and ate very comfortably.

After the meal, Zi Chen felt as if he was in a life-and-death battle with a spirit body. His head was dizzy, and his body was a little staggered. His whole body was weak. Gu Hu's father suggested that they go back to their room to rest, but Zi Chen refused.

Zi Chen and the Devil Ape came out. A cool breeze blew past, and he exhaled. He instantly felt refreshed. Beside him, the Devil Ape smiled but didn't say anything.

Gu Yue and Gu Hu sent the two out. During this time, the two were silent and didn't speak. Zi Chen usually didn't speak much. Now that he was with Gu Yue, he didn't know what to say. Gu Yue had something on her mind, so she didn't speak. After sending them out for a hundred meters, Gu Yue went back. Gu Hu used this as an excuse to chat with Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, don't think that Gu Yue likes you. She doesn't like you," Gu Hu said seriously.

Zi Chen looked at Gu Hu and didn't say anything.

"Why? You don't believe me?"

Gu Hu glared. "I know that she wants to be with you. My father doesn't object. However, it's not because she likes you. It's because you killed a spirit body."

"This has to do with the spirit body." Zi Chen's eyes had a hint of curiosity.

"Of course. It's because the spirit body is what Gu Yue hates the most. It's also what the ancient race hates the most," Gu Hu said.

"Why?"

"You should have seen the palm print on the black stone, right?" Gu Hu asked.

Zi Chen nodded. "I saw it. It's seven inches deep. My understanding of the technique is flawless."

"That was left behind by our clan's genius, Gu Xiao. He's a true genius of our clan, a genius comparable to the spirit body. He's our idol."

Following that, Gu Hu's expression turned gloomy. He whispered, "But he was killed by the spirit body on the ancient road of the ancient trial."

Zi Chen immediately understood what Gu Hu meant. He then asked, "You're saying that the spirit body killed Gu Xiao, and I killed the spirit body. Could it be that Gu Xiao is related to Gu Yue? He's Gu Yue's?"

"Brother," Gu Hu said.

"Brother."

Zi Chen was stunned. He didn't expect this. In his opinion, Gu Xiao should be Gu Yue's lover.

"The spirit body killed Gu Yue's brother. Therefore, Gu Yue swore that she would marry anyone who could kill the spirit body and avenge her brother," Gu Hu said.

"Is the spirit body I killed coincidentally the existence that killed her brother?" Zi Chen asked.

Gu Hu said, "Of course not. You just happened to kill the spirit body. In Gu Yue's heart, as long as you kill the spirit body, it's fine. Because she doesn't know who the enemy is, she just knows that it's the spirit body. Therefore, Gu Yue doesn't like you."

Zi Chen looked at Gu Hu and said, "You only found out about this today, right?"

Gu Hu was stunned. "How did you know?"

Zi Chen sneered. "If you knew, you wouldn't have fought with me for no reason. You would have taken me to the elders immediately after I appeared and thought of a way to chase me away, right?"

"You're very smart. Yes, I only found out today, so I regret it. If I knew, I would have ignored you. Now, there's nothing left."

Zi Chen patted Gu Hu's shoulder. "You're honest. But don't worry, I'll leave soon. I won't have anything to do with Gu Yue."

Gu Hu's face immediately lit up, but his expression quickly changed. "No, if you leave quietly, Gu Yue will catch up to you. I know her personality."

Zi Chen moved his hand away from Gu Hu's shoulder and turned to leave. He said, "Don't worry, I left the ancient path. She won't be able to find me if I return to the Martial Sky Continent."

On the way back, the devil ape looked at Zi Chen and said, "You're really fated to be in love."

Zi Chen bitterly smiled. "This is called lying down. Who would have thought that there would be such a thing after killing the spirit body?"

While they were talking, the two of them noticed two people looking in their direction. Zi Chen looked at the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing here? Don't tell me you're planning to ambush us?"

The two of them walked out. They were Gu Mei and Gu Xun. They arrived in front of Zi Chen, and with a flash of light, a dozen jade bottles appeared in their hands. Zi Chen didn't need to open them to know that they were filled with wine.

"Oh, you brought good wine. Are you apologizing to me?" Zi Chen asked with a smile.

The two of them didn't want to anger Zi Chen. Gu Xun said, "Apologizing is one thing, but the other is because of Gu Yue. You should stay away from her. She belongs to our ancient race and our world. You don't belong to this world."

Seeing their resolute expressions, Zi Chen smiled. "Alright, I'll take it."

After saying that, Zi Chen put away the jade bottles and left with the devil ape.

The two of them were stunned. Gu Xun asked, "He didn't say anything. What does that mean?"

Gu Mei said, "Stupid. Not saying anything means he agreed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken our things."

Gu Xun hesitated. "What if he goes back on his word? I stole it from my family."

Gu Mei said, "That's impossible. Zi Chen is an expert who killed a spirit. Normally, such an expert would never go back on his word."

After leaving, Zi Chen went to find Gu Xiude.

After seeing Zi Chen, Gu Xiude's eyes lit up. "You actually broke through."

"Complete Core Realm, but I'm still a bit away from the Mortal Realm." Zi Chen said.

Gu Xiude gestured for Zi Chen to sit down. He said, "Don't worry. Stabilize your realm first. It might be easier for others to break through to the Mortal Realm, but you have three pages of the Heavenly Book. Your Essence, Qi, and Spirit are all perfect. Once you break through to the Mortal Realm, it will be a perfect breakthrough. There won't be any flaws in your body. Therefore, it will be more difficult for you to break through.

"Two things."

Zi Chen said, "The first thing is to ask about the other forces. Can I leave now? The other thing is about my comprehension of the technique. The Sky-Piercing Spear Art has eight moves in total, but I've only practiced the first two. Why did they say that I've reached the level of complete mastery?"

"Them? Which 'them'?" Gu Xiude was confused.

"It's Gu Hu and the others."

"Those little bastards." Gu Xiude couldn't help but laugh.

"Little bastards? You called them little bastards." Zi Chen was startled.

"If they aren't little bastards, then what are they? They don't know how to properly practice their techniques. Once they master half a move, they call it small mastery or complete mastery."

Gu Xiude sighed. "It's easier said than done to reach complete mastery in ancient techniques. Even if they reach complete mastery, it's enough to shake the entire Sky Martial Continent."

After pausing for a moment, Gu Xiude looked at Zi Chen. "You saw the handprint on the black stone, right?"

Zi Chen nodded.
