Chapter 490-1: I want to see what you are worth now, Is your heart made of iron and stone? (1)

“Don’t worry, Young Master Changge, I have never harbored the slightest malice towards Xian’er from the beginning to the end.”

In the grand and empty hall, An Yan’s complexion turned slightly pale, but she still maintained her composure. She knew Gu Changge’s intention to be alone with her.

This made her somewhat nervous. With the shadow of a famous tree, she believed that there were not many people in this world who would not be nervous when they were alone with Gu Changge. Not to mention that she still had her own little thoughts, and was a little uneasy.

“Then what is the purpose of your contact with Xian’er?” Hearing this, Gu Changge just smiled lightly and didn’t look back.

“I…” An Yan’s expression was a little stagnant, she knew that she couldn’t hide this kind of thing from Gu Changge’s eyes.

She could seamlessly disguise her innocence and harmlessness in front of people. But in the eyes of existence like Gu Changge, such a disguise was obviously useless.

“Don’t you want to say it?” Gu Changge’s tone was still understated, without much change. But it caused cold sweat to break out on An Yan’s forehead.

She clenched her plain hands tightly, and suddenly summoned up her courage. She raised her head and stared at Gu Changge’s back before saying, “Because I want to get close to Young Master Changge through Xian’er. I don’t have the slightest malice towards Xian’er. I am also willing to make a friend like her.”

“Oh, really?” Gu Changge still had a faint expression on his face, which didn’t seem surprising.

An Yan’s calmness surprised him a bit, he thought that An Yan would take this opportunity to argue. Of course, that was fine too. It could be seen that she was a smart person, not as simple as the rumors mentioned.

Harmless in front of others, the rumors seemed to be disguised. Thinking of this, Gu Changge suddenly narrowed his eyes and became interested. In other words, for more than twenty years, An Yan had been pretending to be dormant, being cautious.

In the Hidden An Clan, she was still the eldest daughter, her mother died for unknown reasons, her father ignored her, and she was bullied by an evil sister. Such a life experience seemed a bit familiar to him.

“Yes, the main reason why I approach Xian’er is to get close to Young Master Changge. I have a different plan for Young Master Changge. Like other women, I wanted to try climbing the dragon to become the phoenix, and I want to have more and greater power.”

Hearing this, An Yan raised her head, looked directly at Gu Changge’s back. She was very smart, so she had been cautious all these years, keeping a low profile. She also disguised herself with a pure and harmless appearance, which greatly reduced her threat in the eyes of others.

So An Yan could also see that if she lied in front of Gu Changge, it would definitely make Gu Changge unhappy. In front of him, the best way was to honestly confess everything without any thoughts of hiding.

“It’s a pity you got it wrong.” u Changge said lightly, “Even if you approach me, I have no interest in you.”

From An Yan’s body, he saw Ji Qingxuan’s shadow. However, compared to Ji Qingxuan, An Yan’s situation was obviously worse. An Yan was not surprised by Gu Changge’s words, but she did not give up at all.

“I know that with my current power, status and even my appearance, I can’t get into the eyes of Young Master Changge.” She gritted her teeth and continued.

After finally encountering such an opportunity, she didn’t want to miss it, let alone give up.

“Oh, so you’re still trying to get close to me?” Gu Changge raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and looked at her carefully.

In terms of appearance, her facial features were exquisite, and the figure was proud, which was indeed a rare national beauty. But it obviously didn’t work for him. Then he checked An Yan’s Luck point, and it looked average, not even a person with Great Luck, let alone a Daughter of Luck.

Could it be that his guess was wrong?

“If I don’t, I’ll never stand a chance.” An Yan’s face was slightly sad, and then she gritted her teeth and said firmly. There was a firm determination in the depths of her eyes that could make a cultivator’s heart tremble.

Before, she actually thought of many possibilities to please Gu Changge. Yet she never expected that this would be the calm situation with Gu Changge today, and many previous preparations would be in vain.

“You have a good heart…” Gu Changge’s face was a little interesting. Just now, he saw that An Yan’s Luck points had increased a lot due to some unknown reason. So, she actually belonged to that kind…the Daughter of Luck who hadn’t really formed yet.

Now she was just in the process of acc.u.mulating Luck? Thinking about it this way, he became somewhat interested, wanting to see how far An Yan could go.

“If my heart is not strong, I probably won’t be able to hold on long ago.” There was a wry smile on the corner of An Yan’s mouth. Then she looked a little more cautious, and said, “Actually, I have something that I want to tell Young Master Changge.”

“What is it?” Gu Changge’s eyes fell on her face, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

At his level, it was far obvious, and wasn’t difficult to guess. Sometimes, in a single thought, one could feel some hidden lines of cause and effect. It seemed that what An Yan wanted to say might have something to do with him.

“It’s about my sister An Xi. She rescued a strange man some time ago. I overheard her talking to that strange man once…”

An Yan’s complexion had returned to normal, and she told the truth about what she knew, without hiding anything. This actually happened not long ago.

At that time, the Upper Realm had not yet begun to invade the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, and there was no news that the Boundary Monument Sea was drying up.

Her elder sister An Xi’s usual place of cultivation was not in her clan, but in Taoyuan Village in a small country. That Taoyuan Village was isolated from the outside world and had no contact with the outside world for nearly ten thousand years.

For cultivators, ten thousand years was just a flick of a finger, but for mortals, it was a hundred generations. Therefore, Taoyuan Village was very peaceful and was hardly disturbed by the outside world. There was only a slow stream, well-connected in all directions that was flowing from a distance.

And one day, her sister An Xi’s maid found a comatose man going down the river in that slow stream. The man seemed to have been seriously injured. He had been wandering in the river for a long time and was in a coma.

The strange thing was that there were no scars on his body, more like the previous wounds, which had healed by themselves. Moreover, in that kind of big river, there were so many fierce beasts that even cultivators did not dare to wander alone, because their lives were in danger.

That man obviously had no cultivation base, but no beast dared to approach him. This discovery made An Xi guess that this strange man possessed some kind of treasure or special physique, and rescued him.

Hearing this, Gu Changge already guessed who An Xi had saved.

Back then, outside the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, he sent his men to hunt down and kill Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and others who had crossed over from the Lower Realms. In the end, only Jiang Chen and Niu Tian escaped.

Although he did it on purpose. But he really didn’t expect that Niu Tian would give him such a surprise. Needless to say, Jiang Chen, the Son of Luck, was the reincarnation of the Good Fortune Immortal Boat.

It seemed that this friend of his also possessed some kind of special physique or bloodline.

“The strange man was in a coma all the time, and then my sister brought him back to the clan. She found a spiritual doctor to revive him. After some examination, it was discovered that he had the Hidden Immortal bloodline. From the mouth of that strange man, my sister learned about the hatred between him and Young Master Changge.”

An Yan continued, taking a look at Gu Changge, seeing that his expression hadn’t changed much, she couldn’t help feeling a little apprehensive. None of these things really mattered.

What really made her feel that her sister An Xi attacked her was after she clearly knew the hatred between that strange man and Gu Changge. Not only did she not take him down, but she helped him cultivate and let herself use him in the future.

The Hidden Immortal bloodline was actually not a simple bloodline, but a mysterious physique, but no one knew what kind of physique it was.

In the Upper Realm, there were many rumors about the Hidden Immortal bloodline, saying that with this kind of physique, one could have the power of an Immortal after a great achievement. Although it was not comparable to a True Immortal, it was enough to challenge an Immortal.

That was why it was called the Hidden Immortal bloodline. Of course, the number of cultivators with this bloodline was really too small. The price to cultivate was really too terrifying, and it was often counted in huge amounts.

The Upper Realm had existed for countless epochs, and only a few people had appeared. As for why their clan knew this matter so well, it was because one of the ancestors of the Hidden An Clan was one of the people who had the Hidden Immortal bloodline.

“It turned out to be the Hidden Immortal bloodline, if I knew it, I wouldn’t have let him go.”

After listening to it, Gu Changge showed a faint smile on his face and didn’t really care. At most, what surprised him was that he was so blind that he didn’t see Niu Tian’s bloodline.

However, regarding this matter, he actually acted late at the time. The Knowledge fruit that Niu Tian and others ate was not that simple. If Gu Changge wanted to use this to find his location, it was actually not difficult.

“These are all things I know about my sister and that strange man, and I have nothing to hide.” Seeing Gu Changge’s unsurprised expression, An Yan was also a little puzzled.

“I see, so you want me to help you with your sister, don’t you?” Gu Changge nodded, his eyes fell on An Yan’s face again, and he said with some interest.

As for An Yan’s thoughts, he could easily guess that the battle for the position within a big clan like the Hidden An Clan was actually very serious. An Yan’s status was very awkward; if she wanted to win the battle for the throne, she needed the support of another force.

From her point of view, An Xi risked her life to take Niu Tian in, knowing that this would offend him, and she would definitely not let An Xi go. So she was the most suitable candidate no matter in terms of power or the reason for making the move.

“Don’t Young Master Changge care about An Xi’s actions?” An Yan was a little apprehensive, this was naturally her purpose. But judging from Gu Changge’s expression, she was not very sure.

If Gu Changge could stand on her side, then her situation in the clan would definitely be reversed greatly. Many clan Elders did not dare to underestimate her because of this and did not take her seriously as before.

She could also gradually gain some voice in the Hidden An Clan, and take back what belonged to her.

“You seem to have overestimated your sister’s ability. Do you think the Hidden An Clan would dare to offend me because of a man of unknown origin? Especially because he had a Hidden Immortal bloodline that has not yet grown up. How many resources can your family invest to make him grow up? Is this deal a good deal?”

Gu Changge just smiled faintly, he didn’t think that the Hidden An Clan would offend him because of Niu Tian. An Yan was taken aback when she heard his words, and she had actually thought about this before.

But the current Hidden An Clan had been controlled by her sister An Xi, and her decisions were often the decisions of the entire Hidden An Clan. If there was someone in the entire Hidden An Clan who would offend Gu Changge because of a man of unknown origin, it was probably her sister.
