”Hahaha…”
Gu Qing Yan smiled, took a step out, and came to the foot of a mountain peak. With a wave of his hand, the mountain protection formation opened.
Gu Qing Yan walked along the mountain path on his own, heading towards the mountain.
”What you said is not right.” Gu Qing Yan climbed the mountain and said with a smile： “Do you still have a chance if you beg for mercy from the three great families now？”
Hearing this, Ye Wu Shuang smiled and said： “So, Elder Gu wants me to be a member of the Gu family？”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qing Yan’s footsteps paused, and then he took another step out.
The two came to the halfway up the mountain, and in a pavilion, Gu Qing Yan sat down and with a wave of his hand, a set of tea sets appeared.
Gu Qing Yan skillfully brewed the tea, and soon, the curling tea smoke drifted out.
”If I said no, would you believe me？”
Gu Qing Yan held a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Wu Shuang’s, smiling and saying.
Ye Wu Shuang didn’t speak.
Gu Qing Yan continued, “Leaving aside the issue of the three great families for now, let’s talk about the Gu family.”
”The first-generation dean, Gu Ming Yan, can be regarded as a celestial being, with unfathomable strength. When Gu Ming Yan was alive, I was still young and didn’t know many things.”
”As for how such a celestial being actually died, I also don’t know.”
”The second-generation dean, Gu Ming Yuan, is the younger brother of Dean Gu Ming Yan and is also a great figure with extremely outstanding talent.”
”As for the third-generation dean… that is, the current dean…”
At this point, Gu Qing Yan paused and continued, “The Gu family has also developed factions in these years. Currently, there are basically two major factions within. One part is the core of the Gu family. They think that the three great families have wild ambitions and should be killed, purged, and wiped out… But this idea is unrealistic. If we really want to destroy the three great families, the Gu family will almost be wiped out as well. That’s a suicidal move!
Ye Wu Shuang nodded.
Gu Qing Yan continued, “There is another group of direct descendants of the Gu family, like me, like the dean. Our idea is to wear down the three great families step by step. Let them fight. When they are all hurt in the fight, we take over or clean up at that time, which is more steady.”
”After all, the Zhaxing Academy is not just the tens of thousands of people in the academy at present. Over the years, the people who have walked out of the academy are scattered all over the Xuanyuan Domain, and the involvement is very wide…”
Gu Qing Yan took a sip of tea and smiled, “Have a taste. This is a rare snow mountain tea.”
Ye Wu Shuang picked up the teacup and took a sip. He only felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his whole energy and spirit were improved by a notch.
It was indeed a good tea！
Gu Qing Yan continued, “However, the dean’s plan is good, but over the years, there are indeed big internal problems in the academy. The lawlessness of the disciples of the three great families in the Third Courtyard that you have seen is the result of the dean’s indulgence.”
”The disciples of the three great families are indeed fighting inextricably, but it also leads to the fact that the disciples without background also have a difficult life, and we are also at our wits’ end.”
”Fortunately, this time, you and Wei Cang came forward and solved some troubles.”
Gu Qing Yan said up to this point, looked at Ye Wu Shuang, and said seriously, “Ye Wu Shuang, I don’t want you to join any faction. I just hope that as a disciple of the Zhaxing Academy, you act according to your conscience. You know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do！”
”Don’t be afraid to do what you should do！”
“For me, this Star Picking Academy is the painstaking effort of the ancestors of the Gu family. I only hope that the Star Picking Academy can develop well and become a holy place for cultivation in the Xuanyuan Region, suitable for warriors with talent and ambition！”
“After they graduate from the academy, they can leave if they want to, or stay if they want to, making the martial way in the Xuanyuan Region even stronger…”
“This heaven and earth is far more powerful than you and I imagined. Even among the sages of heaven and earth, there are differences in strength. Are True Saints and Ancient Saints the limit？”
“No！” Gu Qing Yan shook his head and said, “Even if one reaches the limit of a saint, is that the end of this heaven and earth？ The path of martial arts is endless…”
After Gu Qing Yan said these words, the two people in the pavilion fell silent for a while.
Ye Wu Shuang of course knew that this world was vast and boundless.
Not to mention saints？
Even immortals and gods may not be the top existences in this world.
The mysterious origin of the Nine-Layered Divine Tower made Ye Wu Shuang know that returning to the position of the Heavenly Emperor in this life might not necessarily be his ultimate end point.
As for when the end of the road is, who knows？
What he had to do was to take one step at a time and reach that position.
As a warrior, if he lost the enterprising heart, then everything would be in vain.
“This is the token of this mountain peak. The mountain-protecting great array, as well as the internal connected spiritual veins, and others, can all be controlled by this mountain-holding token…”
Gu Qing Yan took out a token and handed it to Ye Wu Shuang, smiling and saying, “You can also select a few disciples from the three courtyards to cultivate on your mountain peak, let them help you manage the mountain peak, and you can also buy a few servants outside, but they need to be registered…”
”The disciple understands.”
Gu Qing Yan smiled and said, “Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. I really talked a bit too much today.”
Gu Qing Yan stood up, and Ye Wu Shuang followed him and walked down the mountain path.
At the foot of the mountain, beside a mountain path, a stone tablet stood tall. At this time, several large characters had already appeared on the stone tablet.
Inner courtyard disciple Ye Wu Shuang.
This small mountain will be his place from now on.
If anyone barges in here without permission, that would be courting death.
Ye Wu Shuang was just about to turn around and return to the mountain to take a look at the buildings on the mountaintop when several silver bell-like pleasant voices sounded.
In this area, small mountains stood upright, and there was a certain distance between each small mountain.
Moreover, between the small mountains, roads wound around, and the environment was quiet and secluded.
On the other side of the curved road, several graceful female figures appeared.
”Hey！ Ye Wu Shuang？”
Suddenly, a woman spoke, and her tone was extremely surprised.
Soon, several people came to Ye Wu Shuang’s front.
The woman who spoke was precisely the Senior Sister Li Su that Ye Wu Shuang met in the morning.
Not only Li Su, but also Tan Tai Ming Yue was here.
At this moment, when Tan Tai Ming Yue saw Ye Wu Shuang, there was also a hint of shock on her exquisitely beautiful face.
”Why are you here？” Tan Tai Ming Yue asked in surprise.
This is the residential area for inner courtyard disciples！
Ye Wu Shuang smiled and raised the Mountain Palm Token in his hand, and said with a smile： “Elder Gu Qing Yan said that I have made contributions to the Star Picking Academy and specially approved me to enjoy the treatment of inner courtyard disciples！”
”Huh？”
”Is it true or false？”
When several women heard this, they talked among themselves for a while.
”This guy doesn’t tell a single truth！”
At this time, Tan Tai Ming Yue snatched the token and then smiled and said： “Where is your disciple token？”
Ye Wu Shuang smiled and took out his disciple token again.
Tan Tai Ming Yue hurriedly took it and turned the token to look.
”Inner courtyard disciple Ye Wu Shuang！”
These few words were clearly visible.
”What？”
Li Su’s eyes also went blank. She hurriedly stepped forward to check the token and said blankly: “Inner courtyard disciple, have you… Youdaoplaceholder0 the Void Saint realm?
