Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 545 - 542: This Will Be the Greatest Opportunity of Your Lives
Chapter 545: Chapter 542: This Will Be the Greatest Opportunity of Your Lives
Night fell.
An Xin was temporarily staying in a monastery with Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai, where a fire blazed in the courtyard, its flickering light casting shadows on the walls.
Tang Cai watched An Xin intently, her eyes filled with hostility, while An Xin admired the Fate Pen.
Having used the Fate Pen more than once or twice, An Xin greatly enjoyed the vast power it contained.
Unfortunately, after each use, her master would take it back, so she treasured the time she had with it and wanted to investigate why the pen was so formidable.
As for Tang Cai’s gaze, An Xin had noticed it long ago and could guess Tang Cai’s thoughts, but she intentionally offered no explanation.
…
Because it was fun!
Tang Cai treasured Elder Li like a treasure, but An Xin felt that Elder Li was just so-so, and nowhere near as formidable as her own master.
Every time her master mentioned Elder Li, he would describe how Elder Li got beaten up, using him as a negative example, so how could she possibly like Elder Li?
Thinking of this, the corners of An Xin’s mouth couldn’t help but lift.
Seeing An Xin smile, Tang Cai grew even angrier, but she couldn’t lash out, after all, An Xin had saved their lives.
While meditating and healing, Li Xuanyu kept thinking about the name An Xin.
Finally, she remembered and opening her eyes, she looked towards An Xin and asked, “Are you Gu An’s disciple?”
Mentioning Gu An, the blurry face in her memory gradually became clear.
It had been over nine thousand years since she left the Tai Cang Continent and she had never returned. Her meeting with Li Ya was purely coincidental on an island, and Li Ya did not reveal that Gu An was the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.
Li Xuanyu could not associate Gu An with the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable either, since when she knew Gu An, he was just a Medicine Boy, and she had even helped him manage an introduction to take care of a Cave Mansion; back then, Gu An had run around for a few Spirit Stones.
Later, however, she had realized that Gu An was not simple and hid secrets, but she never thought of him in terms of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.
An Xin turned her head towards her and smiled brightly, “Yes, Elder Li, my master has mentioned you too. He said that when he was young, you helped him a lot.”
Hearing this, Li Xuanyu was sure she hadn’t misheard and a smile appeared on her face as she said reflectively, “I didn’t really help him much, just lending a hand. How has he been doing lately?”
An Xin replied, “He’s doing well, don’t worry.”
“Could it be that he is also on this continent?”
“No, that’s not the case, no one knows where he has gone.”
An Xin shook her head, this wasn’t her being secretive, but rather Gu An genuinely wanting to hide his whereabouts, not wanting to attract trouble, and she definitely couldn’t cause trouble for Gu An.
She was curious about the image of Gu An in Li Xuanyu’s mind, so she started to share the stories Gu An had told her, and Li Xuanyu also fell into reminiscence.
Tang Cai was also captivated by the stories An Xin told and gradually forgot her jealousy.
Hearing that Gu An was Li Ya’s junior brother, Tang Cai grew even more interested, as she was very curious about everything related to Li Ya, but unfortunately, before she could learn more about Li Ya, she had parted ways with him.
The stories An Xin told were those Gu An had shared with her—they might have seemed mundane, but on such a night, they brought Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai a sense of warmth and a touch of happiness.
In Li Xuanyu’s mind, Gu An also gradually became clearer, and the old memories surfaced. Remembering how reserved Gu An had been in front of her, a smile also appeared on her face.
Over nine thousand years had passed, and many old acquaintances were buried in the earth, but Gu An was still alive, and she was genuinely happy, and surprised that Gu An could teach such a disciple.
A millennium passes just like a flicker in the Human World; nine thousand years brought about such great changes.
When An Xin finished speaking, Tang Cai curiously asked, “What is Gu An’s Cultivation Level now?”
An Xin glanced at her, smiling radiantly, “How would I know? See this pen? This is his Magical Treasure.”
While speaking, An Xin raised the Fate Pen in her hand.
Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai both looked towards the Fate Pen in An Xin’s hand, unable to forget the sight of An Xin wielding the pen to eradicate a group of demons. Those black crows were no ordinary creatures, even a Loose Immortal hit by them would be drained of all their blood essence.
Just as An Xin was showing off the Fate Pen, Gu An, who was far away in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, lay reading a book while listening to their conversation.
“Senior Sister Li, it really has been many years.”
Gu An lay on a chair, a book in his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
That Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai were able to come to the Nine Spirit Continent was due to his guidance, using celestial signs to bring them to the Nine Spirit Continent coincidentally, and along the way, their survival from numerous brushes with death also had Gu An’s secret assistance.
Back then, Li Xuanyu indeed had helped Gu An, so if he could lend a hand with just a simple effort, he naturally would not be stingy.
Helping Li Xuanyu was also for Li Ya’s sake.
With Li Ya’s own sister and future wife in danger, how could he not rescue them?
The reason he led the two women to the Nine Spirit Continent was because a great catastrophe was about to come outside, and only on the Nine Spirit Continent would they be completely safe.
Gu An closed his book and shut his eyes, lazily saying, “After you finish your act, I take the stage, and the heroes of the world take turns, but who can really see through how deep the waters of this world are?”
“Celestial Spirit God, I look forward to clashing with you.”
His voice echoed only within the room, he was speaking to himself.
…
Amidst the mountains, Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai stood on a slope, looking at the magnificent scene ahead, both women remained silent.
Following their gaze, in front of the mountains appeared a gigantic chasm, stretching to the ends of heaven and earth, the mountains on either side, too, had been pierced, as if a dragon comparable in size to the mountains had rolled over them, leaving behind this broken landscape.
An Xin descended from the sky, casually playing with the Fate Pen, she chuckled, “Celestial and Earthly Immortals are just this, huh?”
Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai had been on the Nine Spirit Continent for several months, and today, the mastermind who had been pursuing them had finally come to kill them, after a round of negotiations, An Xin, unable to stand the other side’s ranting, chose to eradicate them.
Tang Cai opened her mouth, but found herself unable to speak, the Supreme Great Power that was the cause of her despair, just like that, was dead?
Li Xuanyu looked at the Fate Pen with a complex expression in her eyes.
Is Gu An’s cultivation level now at least higher than the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm?
She couldn’t understand.
She felt that her own adventures were numerous, and in her view, only Li Ya’s growth rate was faster than hers, in fact, she always believed she was second to none.
But what she witnessed today overturned her understanding.
She felt that her peers couldn’t possibly possess such power, let alone slaughtering Celestial and Earthly Immortals, even killing Wandering Immortals seemed unbelievable.
An Xin looked at them and smiled, “Settle down in the Nine Spirit Continent, it will change your lives. I won’t accompany you further.”
With that, she turned and walked away, but after a few steps, she stopped again.
“Let me remind you once more, stay here. This will be the greatest opportunity of your lives. If you insist on leaving, you will regret it for the rest of your lives.”
An Xin leaped up, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
Tang Cai couldn’t help but look at Li Xuanyu and asked, “What should we do? Listen to her?”
Li Xuanyu looked in the direction An Xin had left and asked, “Do you want to have cultivation like hers, to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Ya in the future, rather than always chasing behind him?”
These words stunned Tang Cai.
