The scene before him perfectly confirmed his guess. Gu Wangjun took a deep breath and slowly followed behind Gu Asan, keeping a certain distance from him while ensuring that the other's figure remained in his line of sight.
After about five or six minutes of tracking, Gu Wangjun clearly saw Gu Asan tiptoe into a room inside the cave.
That room was actually Gu Tianren's residence!
The coffin on his back trembled slightly twice, and Gu Wangjun heard his junior sister softly call out, "Senior Brother, have you noticed anything unusual? Can I get down now?"
Gu Wangjun was taken aback, then gently put down Duan Xingchen and her precious coffin. The latter immediately lifted the coffin, as if carrying a tortoise shell on her back, and shook her little head, asking curiously, "Senior Brother, where is he?"
"What's inside?" Gu Wangjun pointed to Gu Tianren's residence ahead.
Duan Xingchen was taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly incredulous: "What was he doing in Gu Tianren's room?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, a thought inexplicably popped into her head: "Speaking of which, I heard my brother say that servants sometimes have to serve in bed, right?"
King Gu: "..."
He turned his head, looked at his innocent-looking junior sister with a strange expression, and asked in a low voice, "But they are both men..."
"Can't men serve you in bed?" Duan Xingchen was quite puzzled by this.
Gu Wangjun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Junior Sister, do you understand what it means to serve someone in bed?"
"I don't understand." Little Duan Xingchen hadn't received any education on this topic yet: "Isn't it something like a massage?"
Gu Wangjun sighed and said, "When we get back, I'll have the teacher give you and Yuan'er some basic education. You're not a child anymore, it's time you knew those things."
"Those things?"
Duan Xingchen tilted his head, his body shimmering with light, probably because he hadn't quite caught on yet.
As the two were talking, a subtle tremor suddenly came from their bodies.
As if the very space itself was distorted, an indescribable feeling swept over his entire body, causing Gu Wangjun to feel a sudden chill down his spine.
what?
Gu Wangjun turned his gaze forward, and the room where Gu Tianren was located was now emanating an atmosphere that made him feel quite uneasy.
Duan Xingchen also suddenly held his breath and focused his mind, his expression solemn, and he was even ready to receive the [Holy Light of Faith].
Strangely, this distorted aura lasted for only half a minute before vanishing as if it had never existed.
Everything returned to calm, and the moon in the night was as bright and pure as ever.
As a cool night breeze blew by, Gu Asan walked out of the house in a panic. He turned around and quietly closed the door. Then, as if he felt relieved, he glanced back at Gu Tianren's house and hurriedly ran back the way he came.
"That's good... We shouldn't be discovered today."
He muttered to himself, a genuine smile appearing on his honest and simple face, as if he had just done a good deed anonymously.
He had only just come out of Gu Tianren's house and taken a few steps back when he was blocked by a burly body at the corner and was immediately knocked to the ground.
puff.
As he fell to the ground, the numerous strange talismans he was carrying also spilled out.
"hiss--"
Gu Asan gasped, rubbing his aching buttocks, and awkwardly looked up.
To his astonishment, Gu Wangjun and Duan Xingchen suddenly appeared in front of him. Just now, he had bumped into Gu Wangjun's chest and was sent flying by that solid, rock-like muscle.
Duan Xingchen, radiating light from head to toe, bent down and silently picked up the talisman from the ground. He examined it for a moment, then frowned, puzzled by the inscription.
Gu Wangjun stepped forward, reached out his hand to Gu Asan on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Can you explain yourself? What exactly did you do in your master's room just now?"
...We've been discovered!
Gu Asan's face turned deathly pale. He was too timid to take Gu Wangjun's hand, his whole body trembling slightly before he hurriedly looked away, unable to meet Gu Wangjun's gaze: "N-nothing..."
"Oh?"
Gu Wangjun smiled slightly, his honest face full of gentle smile: "In that case, I'll just tell your master about this directly. It might be more efficient to have him ask you personally."
"don't want!!"
Unexpected.
Gu Asan suddenly exclaimed, as if a sore spot had been touched, and said in a panic, "Don't tell the young master... It's only this matter, please, don't tell the young master."
It's more nerve-wracking than I expected.
Gu Wangjun narrowed his eyes, finding the man's reaction quite puzzling.
Gu Asan subconsciously pursed his lips, and after pondering for a long time, he said in a timid tone, "I will tell... as long as you don't tell the young master about this."
Duan Xingchen stared at the talisman covered with strange runes in his palm, pondered for a while, and then said, "Alright, as long as you can explain the whole story."
"The ins and outs... well."
Gu Asan's gaze darkened, then he raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked:
Have you ever heard of the Central Divine Eye?
……
……
The night was long and quiet.
The three of them returned to the house and sat around the table. Gu Asan poured tea for the two of them and also poured one for himself.
He sat in his seat, his face still somewhat pale, his hands nervously gripping the teacup, his eyes still darting around.
Gu Wangjun took a sip of tea and asked in a deep voice, "Is Gu Tianren the holder of the Divine Eye?"
"Yes." Gu Asan nodded, looking at the warm tea in the teacup, and sighed helplessly: "The Divine Eye is the divine soul inheritance of Lord Lan Yutianbing. Although we still don't understand why Lord Lan Yutianbing would suddenly pass it on, everyone believes that it is a symbol."
"The symbol of the palace master."
When the topic of the Palace Master came up, Duan Xingchen couldn't help but think of his previous guess, so he asked, "Speaking of which, what is the current Palace Master's name?"
"Eh?" Gu Asan didn't expect Duan Xingchen to suddenly ask about this, but still answered honestly, "Xu Qinghuai... Palace Master Xu."
I've never heard of that name before.
And it doesn't even have the surname Lan.
Duan Xingchen looked enlightened, then steered the conversation back on track: "I was just asking casually. More importantly, when you mentioned the symbol of the Palace Master, do you mean that the person who possesses the Divine Eye will be the next Palace Master?"
“Yes,” Gu Asan affirmed, “This matter was designated by the Palace Master, and the eldest young master will be the next Palace Master.”
At this point, Gu Asan suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, the one who was originally supposed to take charge of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace was not the eldest young master... but Senior Brother Lan."
"Lan Chun?" Gu Wangjun was taken aback.
"Senior Brother Lan Chun and the young master underwent the trial at the same time. Back then, they were both outstanding young talents in the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace. They were the only ones with comparable strength. Don't be fooled by the young master's obsession with martial arts; his mastery of talisman techniques is extremely high."
"Both of them had the potential to gain the Palace Master's favor. It was at that time that the young master and Senior Brother Lan Chun were both granted the qualification to meet Lord Lan Yutianbing and were capable of obtaining a legacy item from that supreme being."
"This can be considered a custom, but it is said that most people in the past only received relatively ordinary inheritances, such as cultivation techniques and magic weapons... Palace Master Xu received a Frost Sword, but Young Master and Senior Brother Lan... received the divine soul inheritance of Lord Lan Yutianbing, the Middle Divine Eye."
Gu Asan took a deep breath, drank the tea, and said calmly, "Initially, each person had one Middle God Eye. The eldest young master had one Middle God Eye, and Senior Brother Lan also had one."
"But for some reason, the young master suddenly attacked Senior Brother Lan, and after that... he forcibly grafted Senior Brother Lan's Divine Eye onto him."
These words startled both Gu Wangjun and the other man.
Indeed, the Central Divine Eye is a unique treasure of inheritance, the most unique existence in this universe.
Anyone with a greedy heart would want to possess the Divine Eye once they see it.
Such is the nature of human desire.
Is Gu Tianren that kind of person?
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Gu Wangjun didn't quite believe that Gu Tianren was such a greedy person. He thought it was unlikely that Gu Tianren would attack his junior brother and take away his eyes.
A hint of pity flashed in Duan Xingchen's eyes as he asked softly, "So, that's why Lan Chun went blind?"
"Yes. After that, Senior Brother Lan Chun not only lost sight in one eye, but completely lost the ability to 'see' and became a blind person."
That's why he was so sarcastic and unfriendly towards Gu Tianren.
Rather, the fact that he didn't directly attack Gu Tianren is already quite kind of him.
"Does he have no dissatisfaction or resentment?" Gu Wangjun asked.
"Yes." Gu Asan could not deny this point. "But what is strange is that both of the Divine Eyes acknowledged the young master and did not show any rejection. Even Lord Lan Yutianbing did not react to the young master's eye-catching actions at all, as if he had tacitly agreed."
"So in the end, under the mediation of the Palace Master, Senior Brother Lan Chun did not completely break ties with the young master, and the matter was dropped."
After listening, Duan Xingchen leaned close to his senior brother's ear and couldn't help but say something.
"Why do I suddenly feel that Gu Tianren is the biggest villain?"
34. The Demon of the Holy Feather Sect
The situation took an unexpected turn here.
If what Gu Asan said is true, then Gu Tianren is the culprit who stole his junior brother's fortune and caused him to go blind, and who monopolized the chief position, leaving even the palace master helpless with his divine eyes.
From any perspective, he is a villain in the truest sense.
Based on Gu Wangjun and Duan Xingchen's previous impression of Gu Tianren, they felt that he was not such a greedy person. Although there is an old saying that you can know a person's face but not their heart, they still found it hard to imagine that Gu Tianren would attack his junior brother for a single Divine Eye.
Is there some hidden story behind this? Or is there a ruthless demon lurking beneath Gu Tianren's gentle facade?
Gu Wangjun remained silent for a long time before looking at the large number of talismans neatly arranged on the table. Most of the characters engraved on them belonged to this era.
He picked up one of the talismans, and the spiritual energy emanating from his fingertips slowly seeped into it. After roughly examining the hidden talismanic circuits within, Gu Wangjun asked again, "Then what are these talismans on your body?"
"This is……"
Gu Asan stared at the talisman on the table, his expression changing several times before finally darkening and whispering, "It's a talisman that can unleash the Divine Eye..."
"liberation?"
Duan Xingchen didn't quite understand the meaning of those words: "What do you mean?"
Faced with Duan Xingchen's doubts, Gu Asan seemed to have no choice but to reveal all the secrets to the two of them, thinking that there was no point in continuing to hide them. "Since the young master obtained the Divine Eye, he has not focused on cultivating it, nor has he made good use of its abilities. Instead, he has become obsessed with martial arts. Senior Brother Lan Chun has never been able to understand this... The Palace Master has also repeatedly advised the young master."
"The young master has always been resistant to these eyes. I don't quite understand it either. He clearly snatched these eyes from Senior Brother Lan Chun, but after getting them, he didn't use them to cultivate."
Upon hearing this, Duan Xingchen's body shone brightly as if he had suddenly realized something: "I think I've heard someone say that this is called getting tired of something after you get it, a kind of fickleness!"
