They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

Although it was not a big deal and he left, the scene of Gu Nian standing there with a sword in his hand and cutting the golden elixir with three swords showed the style of a master!

And this kind of consideration can be considered as helping Lin Fan.

Lin Fan, who was standing by, struggled to get up and came to Gu Nian, saying with gratitude,

"Thank you so much for saving my life, big brother. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my cultivation would be wasted again."

"I owe you my life again, big brother. I will definitely repay you in the future!"

But at this moment, Su Qingge, who had already helped her husband, looked at the white-haired fairy.

A smile played on her lips, and she looked quite interested.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Changqin Youya slowly walked towards Gu Nian and Su Qingge.

She stood in front of Su Qingge, bowed to her, and took the initiative to say,

"Changqin Youya, the leader of Xuantian Sect."

"Thank you, Master and Madam, for your assistance in helping Xuantian Sect defeat the powerful enemy."

Seeing this, Gu Nian returned the greeting and responded,

"Master Changqin, that's not right. Lin Fan is my brother. I can't bear to see him become useless."

"This is my mother's ninth son, Su Qingge. You may not be familiar with this name, but you must have heard of the nickname Dongjun."

How could I not have heard of him? Dongjun is famous throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland. Even the Four Pillars of the Eastern Wasteland cannot ignore this man who is as bright as the sun.

No matter who it is, hearing the name of Dongjun, they would probably be surprised. Even if they were not afraid, they would at least be more polite.

But Changqin Youya was different. After hearing Gu Nian's words, she just nodded and then fell silent.

Even though she knew Dong Dongjun's name, she seemed somewhat indifferent, as if Su Qingge was just an ordinary person.

The title of Dongjun seemed to be more important to her than the fact that he had helped her.

She is so ethereal, like an immortal banished to the mortal world, and naturally looks down on the mundane things in the world.

Seeing this, Su Qingge narrowed her beautiful eyes quietly, making people wonder what she was thinking.

Lin Fan, who was standing by, hurried forward and bowed to Gu Nian and Su Qingge, explaining,

"Brother, Master Dongjun, please don't mind. My master doesn't mean to look down on you. She's just a little stupid."

After spending these days with his master, Lin Fan has come to understand his master a little better.

Master looks ethereal, elegant and tranquil, like an orchid in a valley, but in fact, this is not what Master does on purpose.

My master is really aloof, but besides being aloof, he is also a bit naive.

If it were someone else, Lin Fan wouldn't say so much, but these two people in front of him were different.

One is his elder brother who has saved him many times and helped him take care of his mother, and the other is Dong Jun, who is famous in the East Wasteland.

During the time at Xuantian Sect, Lin Fan became familiar with Su Qingge's name and naturally knew how powerful his sister-in-law was.

Seeing that his master was stunned again, he naturally wanted to say something on his master's behalf.

After listening to Lin Fan's explanation, Gu Nian looked back at his wife. Seeing that she was not unhappy, he smiled and waved his hand.

"It's okay. There's no need for this between brothers like you and me."

"But... what's with that Tai Shang Sect? They came to disrupt your Xuantian Sect's grand ceremony. This is really arrogant."

Moreover, among so many disciples and elders in the entire Xuantian Sect, no one dared to say a word. Even the sect leader Changqin Youya remained silent.

This seems a bit too weird.

Hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, explaining helplessly,

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the sect may seem powerful now, but in reality... it's just a facade of strength."

After joining Xuantian Sect, Lin Fan gradually understood the sect's current predicament.

Because of the disaster that happened ten years ago, the entire sect has been depleted of talent. It looks good on the outside, but it is only on the outside. In fact, it has already been like a dying person on the inside.

And now, because of the unique resources within Xuantian Sect, it is being coveted by the so-called upper sect.

Now, the Xuantian Sect was in trouble both internally and externally, and was on the verge of being wiped out.

If they want to avoid being exterminated, that is very simple. The price is that Lin Fan's master, Changqin Youya, the leader of Xuantian Sect, will marry him.

I have to say, for Lin Fan, this was really a hellish start.

Such a change made Gu Nian frown.

"I see... Then what is the Changqin Sect Master going to do?"

"Afan, if Xuantian Sect were to disappear, you would probably be affected too, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, but things haven't reached the worst point yet."

Lin Fan shook his head as he spoke, his eyes showing a bit more determination.

Amidst all the bad news, there is actually one piece of good news.

It seems that Xuantian Sect has been forced into a dead end at the moment, but there is still room for turnaround.

And this leeway lies in Lin Fan!

As the direct disciple of the leader of Xuantian Sect, Lin Fan has the qualification of special permission.

As long as he can regain his seat on the Hidden Dragon List, the protection that the sect should have received will be fully restored!

This so-called Hidden Dragon List is a special list jointly created by the upper echelons of the Eastern Wilderness to support and protect young eaglets.

Those who can make the list have already proven their potential and talent. Those who make the list and the forces they belong to will be protected by the upper echelons of the Eastern Wilderness.

This provides time for development for them and even the sect behind them.

Although the Tai Shang Sect is considered a famous sect in the Eastern Wasteland, it is obviously nothing compared to the entire upper class of the Eastern Wasteland. As long as Lin Fan is on the list, all the plans of the Tai Shang Sect will come to nothing.

"And my opponent is the little disciple of the Grand Master of the Supreme Sect."

"The deadline for the Hidden Dragon Rankings' renewal is only three days away."

Lin Fan was telling Gu Nian the story, but his expression became more serious and resolute.

Even though the situation was so critical, he did not give up hope.

Gu Nian was quite emotional about this. He could only say that he was worthy of being the protagonist. He faced such a heavy burden as soon as he entered the sect. The hope of the entire sect rested on him alone!

However, Su Qingge on the side had a different opinion.

"It is precisely because the time is approaching that you are in greater danger."

"Do you really think that the Supreme Sect will abide by this rule?"

"Or... do you really think they will let you win?"

Su Qingge obviously did not trust the so-called ethics of a large sect like the Supreme Sect.

In her opinion, whether you win or lose, the result is the same.

The Supreme Sect will take action if it is necessary, the only difference is the means, and the Xuantian Sect will be destroyed if it is necessary, it is just a matter of time.

Everything Lin Fan did was in vain.

But as a mother, Bai Suya is willing to help her child obtain this precious opportunity.

She hesitated for a moment, then said,

"Since Fan'er has this idea, there's nothing wrong with letting him try it."

"What's more, with Lord Dongjun here, I think Lord Dongjun and Master Gu will lend him a helping hand, right?"

Hearing this, Su Qingge's face darkened and his expression instantly turned cold.

"Madam, are you too greedy?"

"Even though we all know each other, we still have to keep public and private matters separate!"

But in fact, Su Qingge was just playing the bad guy, doing it on purpose to help her husband gain favor.

As expected, Gu Nian on the other side frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed and said to his wife,

"My dear, Afan calls me Big Brother after all. I can't just watch him and his sect be destroyed together, right?"

"If possible...why don't we lend a hand?"

"Well... well, since my husband has said so, then this is the only way."

Su Qingge hesitated and agreed reluctantly.

After everyone had left, especially after Lin Fan had left, Bai Suya found Gu Nian alone.

No one could see that Bai Suya was quite unscrupulous at the moment. She hugged Gu Nian's arm and leaned her head on Gu Nian's shoulder. She was unwilling to leave for a while.

After a warm silence between the two of them for a moment, Bai Suya suddenly raised her head, bit her lip, and said with some worry and guilt,

"Master, do you... hate me?"

"Hate?"

Gu Nian looked at Bai Suya in confusion.

"Why should I hate Aunt Bai?"

"Because...I took the initiative and dragged you into this."

With a barely perceptible sigh, Bai Suya said softly,

"I also know that Xuantian Sect has reached a dead end. Even though the mistress is very powerful, it is not a wise choice to intervene rashly."

"The most important thing is that this is not your business. You could have just stood by and watched, but you were dragged into this because of me..."

"It's all because of me. I'm just a pet, but I always cause trouble for my master..."

So that’s what happened.

Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head with amusement.

Seeing Aunt Bai so nervous before, I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out that she is very concerned about this until death...

Patting Bai Suya's head gently, Gu Nian said with a smile,

"Aunt Bai, what are you talking about? Not to mention that Afan and I are friends, and he calls me Big Brother, so I will always take care of his affairs."

"Besides, even if I don't consider his face, you are still here, Aunt Bai. Since you have spoken, I have no reason to refuse."

Gu Nian's words were meant to comfort her, and they sounded very heartwarming.

But when Bai Suya, who already felt guilty, heard this, she only felt even more guilty towards her master.

Bai Suya's voice became even lower as her delicate hands tightly grasped her master's arm.

"I'm sorry, Master... I made you work so hard for a pet like me, and I made you run around for my son... I'm so sorry!"

"Although Master didn't say it, I still know it. Master, you are in a difficult situation, right?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Gu Nian waved his hand casually.

"Don't worry, Aunt Bai, my wife and I are here, there will be no problem."

"Um...thank you, Master."

Bai Suya nodded softly, then suddenly sighed and said very sadly,

"Oh, I am a pet, but I have to make my master suffer as well. I am such an unqualified pet!"

"And mother... This is clearly my son's problem, but I can't solve every problem. I can only rely on the master and the mistress. Master... I am not a responsible mother!"

Her eyelids drooped, and one could see crystal tears in them. The usually gentle lady felt deeply ashamed of her incompetence and dereliction of duty.

"Aunt Bai, actually you are already very..."

Gu Nian raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, then gently patted Bai Suya's shoulder, trying to make his voice gentle.

But before he could finish, Bai Suya looked up at him with emotion.

"I have failed so badly, but my master still doesn't despise me. Not only has he not abandoned me, but he has also patiently helped me time and time again..."

"I feel very happy to have met my master, even if he is just my pet."

"So, so..."
