My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

That makes sense. There's no reason why a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to tell that Wen Daoyi possesses two spiritual roots, let alone that Wen Daoyi's other spiritual root is one of only two Yin spiritual roots in the world.

Why, in the storyline, knowing that Wen Daoyi possessed the Yin Spirit Root, did they allow Wen Daoyi to collude with the undercover agents of the Fallen Saint Absolute Land?

Then he orchestrated the destruction of his sect, ultimately dying and disappearing from the world?

Su Yi suddenly felt his brain wasn't working properly; he didn't understand why.

Even though they were just people and events mentioned briefly in the "Immortal Path" storyline, why did they seem so complicated and convoluted when I experienced them firsthand?

Su Yi sighed as she stood at the entrance of the courtyard. She pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard. As soon as she entered, she found a familiar figure sitting in the courtyard, quietly listening to Xiao Tian's rapid-fire speech.

Dressed in white, holding a sword in one hand, with his signature smile on his face, he now exuded a sharp and ruthless aura, though his originally peaceful demeanor now seemed somewhat edgy.

Just sitting there, he was like a sword drawn from its sheath, its cold gleam flashing!

Gu Wanquan has emerged from seclusion!

There was no earth-shattering sword strike like during the Qi Refining stage; he simply walked out of the room as if he had just taken a nap.

During this seclusion, Gu Wanquan gained a great deal. Not only did his cultivation level reach the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, but he also comprehended the third form of the "Nine Forms of Sword Immortal" ahead of schedule.

Gu Wanquan could break through to the Golden Core stage and become a powerful cultivator at any time if he wanted to!

This time, he emerged from seclusion because, on the one hand, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and on the other hand, the earth-shattering commotion of the previous night made it impossible for him to concentrate on his cultivation.

When Gu Wanquan stepped out of the room, he found that the courtyard was still the same, as if nothing had happened last night.

  

Looking around, Gu Wanquan also found that there were hardly any people in the rooms, except for Xiao Tian, ​​who was like a rat in a granary, eating the leftovers from breakfast in the kitchen.

Gu Wanquan invited Xiao Tian into the courtyard and chatted with him casually, confirming the events of the past few days.

Xiao Tian, ​​whose mind was filled with nothing but food, told Gu Wanquan everything he knew, like spilling beans, and even gesticulated excitedly when he got excited.

Gu Wanquan listened with a smile, his expression unchanged, only his eyes flashing when he heard Su Yi's name.

Upon hearing about yesterday's events, Gu Wanquan asked meaningfully, "Oh? You mean, Senior Brother Su, in order to help Wen Daoyi, faced the Blood Moon alone when the sect was in grave danger?"

Xiao Tian nodded vigorously, saying with some concern, "Yes, I wonder where Sister Wen is right now. I'm really worried about her!"

Gu Wanquan smiled, his hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of his sword. His phoenix eyes narrowed with a smile as he said with a touch of wistfulness, "Yes, where exactly is it? I'm really worried!"

"Yesterday, Brother Su performed a dance in front of that blood moon and directly controlled it. I have to say, Brother Su danced really well, even better than the older sisters in my family who specialize in dancing!" Xiao Tian said with some admiration.

"Oh? Senior Brother Su has this kind of talent? It's a pity we haven't seen it!" Gu Wanquan chimed in.

Xiao Tian nodded repeatedly, but for some reason, he felt a chill down his back and his neck was itchy.

As vigilant as Xiao Tian was, he looked around and had a feeling that someone had a knife to his throat.

Gu Wanquan calmed himself down, tapping his fingers on the stone table, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the gate of the courtyard.

Looking at Gu Wanquan, who was deep in thought, Xiao Tian felt somewhat intimidated by this prodigy who had overpowered them all.

"Not as good as Senior Brother Yin. When Senior Brother Yin practices his sword, he even cuts sashimi for himself!" Xiao Tian thought to himself.

Xiao Tian, ​​who was rambling on about random topics, looked at Gu Wanquan, who was deep in thought, and was just about to slip away.

Gu Wanquan's gentle voice rang out again: "Where is Senior Brother Su now?"

"Brother Su has made such a great contribution, and the sect leader took him to the main peak. He should definitely be rewarded. As expected of Brother Su, he has now risen to the point of sitting at the same table as the sect leader and sharing dishes with him!" Xiao Tian immediately replied.

Just then, the courtyard gate was opened, and Su Yi walked in.

The sound of the door opening attracted the attention of Gu Wanquan and Xiao Tian. When they saw Su Yi walk in, Xiao Tian was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason was simple: Gu Wanquan, dressed in white, exerted immense pressure on him. Standing next to Gu Wanquan felt like having a sword pointed at his throat, and he never knew when the sword would strike and he would be dead.

Let's go find Yin Chaoge, who splits the river, to have some fun. Although Senior Brother Yin always has a cold face, at least he will cut sashimi for me!

After bowing to Su Yi, Xiao Tian sneaked away from the courtyard.

"Hey, Sword Immortal Gu has emerged from seclusion!" Su Yi patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder and turned to Gu Wanquan with a smile.

Gu Wanquan stood up leisurely, bowed slightly to Su Yi, and said with a smile, "It's just a small achievement, nothing compared to Senior Brother Su's earth-shattering feat!"

Jealousy, absolutely jealousy! This spicy snack guy is definitely jealous of how much attention he got yesterday!

The exceptionally intelligent Master Su made the right judgment in an instant. Looking at the seemingly harmless-looking Gu Wanquan, he couldn't help but perk up again.

Regardless of what the future holds for Wen Daoyi, the current meta-defining figure is still this white-robed swordsman who reigns supreme over an entire era!

After joining the sect, Gu Wanquan, who should have been living a life of great glory, was suppressed by himself and remained unknown.

First he was the chief of the outer sect, then he became the person in charge of the outer perimeter of the inner sect, and finally he stole the limelight in front of the sect leader and elders.

Su Yi had no idea how much hatred she had incurred in front of Gu Wanquan.

But Su Yi had no choice. The main mission was to become the sect leader. If he didn't stand out or attract attention, he wouldn't be able to complete the main mission.

Conversely, the moment of glory that should have belonged to Gu Wanquan became his own.

To complete the main quest, you either have to offend Gu Wanquan, or you won't be able to.

This kind of one-track mindset that ends up causing problems on both sides is also a headache for Su Yi.

Facing the seemingly harmless-looking Gu Wanquan, Su Yi cautiously said, "Junior Brother is merely in seclusion. If you were here, you would undoubtedly shine even brighter than I have!"

Gu Wanquan shook his head slightly and said, "Senior Brother, what are you saying? I already know about yesterday's events from Junior Brother Xiao. If it weren't for Senior Brother's amazing dance that turned the tide of the battle, and even the Sect Leader praised it highly, I would be far inferior to Senior Brother!"

Su Yi's face turned pale after hearing this.

Spicy!

This heartless Gu Latiao was speaking with hidden meaning, not only mocking his own striptease but also blaming him for showing off in front of the sect leader.

I'm now completely hated!
