Chapter 367: Chapter 271: Did I Really Get Shining Through the Ages Like This? (Part 2)
The other party said it was all thanks to the recommendation of a senior, otherwise the Ouyang Family wouldn’t even have caught their attention.
Because they were worried about disturbing the senior, that’s why they came alone."
Saying so, they placed a Storage Treasure on the table.
Gu An took a quick look and saw it was a total of Ten Thousand Spirit Stones.
*Truly wealthy indeed.*
However, Gu An still accepted it.
This was a favor sold to him by that senior brother from Heavenly Suspension Peak.
It seemed it wouldn’t be appropriate not to give "Shining Through the Ages."
But for now, there was no solution.
*We can talk about it later; after all, there’s still three years to go.*
*Perhaps by then, my own cultivation will be decent, and I can negotiate with other items.*
Later on, Gu An would gradually learn about the people of the Ouyang Family to identify that person.
However, during this period, the Fire Phoenix Ancient Tomb opened.
In mid-June, the ancient tomb revealed a startling phenomenon.
Many people were discussing it, and some had even entered it.
But there were also reports that only those with a Golden Core cultivation could enter at the strongest.
In an instant, those with a Golden Core, who thought they had no hope, swarmed forth in Qingmu City.
Even the boss was itching to try.
Yet, in the end, he suppressed his intentions because Gu An hadn’t mentioned it, and he dared not go.
*Although the other party said they were the boss and could do whatever they wanted, what if they were just saying it casually?*
*Others might be able to speculate, but I cannot afford to think that way.*
During this time, Gu An received a total of five records of Divine Skills from Chunyu.
The last one was surprisingly ninety percent genuine.
*Gu An didn’t know what was on the other’s mind, but he seemed determined to compete with him.*
*It was as if he wanted to deceive him with one version.*
Until the end of June.
Gu An again received a new Magic technique from Chunyu.
When he handed it to the Blood Demon Divine Monarch, the latter was slightly surprised and said, "Ninety percent genuine."
"So much?" Gu An was a bit surprised and said, "Still missing some?"
At that moment, Fat Tiger lay on the ground, starting to review the previous contents.
Soon he compiled a new book.
He handed it to Gu An, "Big brother, I sorted it out, and the genuine content is here.
This person probably couldn’t fully comprehend it and thought they had concealed it well. In fact, some hidden elements weren’t thoroughly obscured, which allowed me to deduce the correct content from them."
Gu An took the book and read it.
The content was extremely complex; no wonder it was a Great Divine Power.
He decided not to learn it for now and would consider it later.
Thus, Gu An went straight to find Senior Sister Qing.
The latter was slightly surprised.
"Did Junior Brother come to ask about the Ouyang Family?" Senior Sister Qing asked.
Gu An shook his head and handed over the Magic technique in his hand.
The other party took it and was extremely astonished, "What we wanted?"
Gu An nodded, "Yes, mission accomplished."
Senior Sister Qing didn’t open it, she simply said, "How did Junior Brother accomplish this?"
Gu An briefly explained.
Hearing this, Senior Sister Qing was bewildered, "So, you’re saying, he didn’t believe you could recognize it, and wrote fake content in the beginning, but now wrote the real one?"
Gu An nodded.
Senior Sister Qing hesitated but eventually did not ask the question.
The question was how the other party determined it was genuine.
Maybe they had other channels, but they certainly wouldn’t disclose them to her.
It’s better not to ask.
Later, Senior Sister Qing appeared in front of another cave residence.
She bowed respectfully.
Soon a voice came from inside, "Is the matter settled?"
"Senior Brother Fang, the matter with the Ouyang Family is settled," Junior Sister Qing replied.
"That’s good, I suppose that junior brother, upon knowing, will think of a way to complete our task," Senior Brother Fang said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Junior Sister Qing felt a bit strange.
The other party indeed seemed motivated to resolve the matter.
So, she then said, "He sought me out today and brought this."
With that, she handed over the book.
The person inside seemed quite surprised, and then the book flew in.
What followed was a long silence.
Junior Sister Qing didn’t know what was happening.
She waited for a long time until finally a voice came out, "How was it obtained?"
Junior Sister Qing recounted what Gu An had said.
"There’s an element of luck, but... such luck, even if given to others, would not complete it." Senior Brother Fang’s voice carried a smile, "Send a thank-you gift over, let them handle the person as they see fit.
No need to ask anything else; this matter is concluded.
Additionally, provide some support to the Ouyang Family.
Just say it’s for the sake of that junior brother’s face."
Senior Sister Qing acknowledged.
She didn’t ask further questions, nor did she question if it was genuine.
For the time being, it seemed to be true.
On the other side.
In the afternoon of that day, Chunyu was escorted outside the Sect.
"Senior, you can leave now," Pang Wen said, looking at him.
The latter was bewildered and said, "I gave a fake one."
"No worries, the leader considers it genuine, safe travels, senior," Shu Ci added from the side.
Chunyu was perplexed.
*He found it hard to believe; he had clearly given a fake one.*
*How did I end up leaving?*
After some thought, he figured that the other party’s understanding wasn’t adequate and mistook it for genuine.
"Never mind, leaving is leaving. I’m curious to see if that person can learn ’Shining Through the Ages.’ Even if they can muster some power, it’s still like comparing a spark to brilliance.
I look forward to the next meeting to show you the radiance of my brilliant moon."
*With that thought, he didn’t linger and quickly departed.*
*In truth, Gu An hadn’t expected to complete the task so swiftly.*
*As for extracting further benefits from the other party, he had no such intentions.*
*A Returning to Void Perfection powerhouse might progress even further in no time.*
*Why antagonize them?*
*Especially someone who knows "Shining Through the Ages," a Divine Skills known only to one person in Ancient Moon Tower.*
*A genius indeed.*
*It’s wise not to provoke geniuses; naturally, it’s better not to stir trouble.*
At the beginning of July.
Gu An finally confirmed the location of that person in the Ouyang Family.
That night.
A transformation occurred on Gu An’s body.
He transformed into the appearance of Zuo Youyan, using his Primordial Spirit Cultivation.
He smoothly entered the Ouyang Family.
Eventually, in a remote courtyard, he found that person.
Although they were of Foundation Establishment, they couldn’t live in a private courtyard but at least had a single room.
There was a simple Array around.
Gu An recalled Zuo Youyan’s records. Initially written with resentment, they later conveyed some relief and finally some longing.
*The complex emotions made it impossible for him to confront it directly.*
Like Su Yaya, Zuo Youyan wished to resolve everything before seeking the person out.
*Unfortunately, there was no opportunity anymore.*
*Sometimes waiting lasts a lifetime.*
*The same went for Zuo Youyan’s mother.*
*Gu An sighed in his heart and gently knocked on the door.*
Knock knock!
The knocking was soft.
"Who is it?" a cautious voice came from inside.
The voice was slightly aged.
The person inside indeed wasn’t young anymore.
"It’s me." Gu An spoke slowly.
Using a voice similar to Zuo Youyan’s.
But it was uncertain whether the person would recognize it.
Inside, silence lingered for a long time, finally with a creak, the door was opened.
Zuo Youyan stood tall, standing there with a recognizable presence.
Gu An also saw the person who opened the door, dressed in ordinary clothing, neither good nor bad.
They appeared around fifty years old.
Not young anymore.
Hence, it was evident that the person hadn’t lived as well as imagined.
At a hundred years old and at Foundation Establishment, it’s not considered old. Usually, they would appear in their early forties, and if a woman maintained well, she would look even younger.
Seeing Gu An, the person’s eyes momentarily shone with joy, then seemed to carry some guilt.
At that moment, feeling slightly at a loss, she pulled him inside.
Then she closed the door.
She didn’t dare to turn the light on.
Seemingly afraid of outsiders knowing there was someone there.
"Do you know you’re wanted?" The woman spoke after a long silence.
Gu An didn’t ask her to light the lamp; he merely sat on the chair.
*Perhaps the darkness could obscure one’s vision, making the atmosphere between two familiar yet estranged people less awkward.*
*Of course, for Gu An, darkness was no longer an issue.*
*But wine doesn’t inebriate people; people get drunk on their own.*
*He had no need to force a clear view.*
"I know, but they can’t catch me. The Ouyang Family is not what it used to be." Gu An took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
The woman lowered her brows, finally as if mustering the courage, asked, "Has it been so many years, do you blame me?"
*Gu An felt the emotions Zuo Youyan wrote and finally said, "I did, but... I no longer do."*
