But even so, her appearance and demeanor made her all the more pitiable. Yang Chen believed that if there was not a certain danger to this woman, there would not be few who would want to protect her.

It was not strange; who would dare to provoke a True God Stage Elder?

In the eyes of these servants and miscellaneous workers, True God Stage Elders were like gods in the sky–unreachable, only to be looked up to. To provoke one would mean only one outcome: death, with no alternative.

Even ordinary disciples and elite disciples would not dare disrespect a True God Stage Elder.

The same was true for core disciples unless they were at the level of Yin Yu, approaching the existence of True Inheritor Disciples, who dared to challenge True God Stage Elders. However, no one would oppose a True God Stage Elder just for the sake of a beautiful woman.

Yang Chen was no different. A True God Stage Elder was indeed a headache.

Seeing Yang Chen’s reaction after hearing about the_true God Stage Elder, the woman fell into despair, realizing that this man was the same–he was unwilling to accept her as a servant and protect her!

Just as she was losing hope, Yang Chen suddenly said, “Taking you as my servant is not impossible. However, there’s a premise: you have to satisfy me. My condition is that you must have a thorough understanding of Xuandao Sect. If you meet my requirements in carrying out tasks, I’ll help you settle your enemies. But if you fail to meet my expectations, I may kick you out at any time and refuse to provide you any shelter. Do you understand?”

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, many people took a deep breath.

This Yang Chen was playing with fire, daring to protect her.

Originally, Yang Chen did not want to protect Gu Liushui, but the other servants did not satisfy him. As for the True God Stage Elder, although Yang Chen did not know what grievances he had with Gu Liushui, he did not think that if he sheltered Gu Liushui within the Xuandao Sect, the Elder would cause him any trouble.

Now, everything was focused on becoming a True Inheritor Disciple; he no longer thought about anything else.

There was no joy on Gu Liushui’s face, for she knew Yang Chen’s intentions. This Yang Chen clearly planned to accept her as a servant, but he might tease her for a few days and eventually kick her away when he was done, using dissatisfaction as an excuse.

How could she not see through such lies?

But did she have a choice now? She could only take a gamble to see if Yang Chen was indeed a despicable person.

“Thank you,” Gu Liushui bit her shell teeth gently.

Yang Chen calmly said, “Alright, come back with me.”

When the conversation ended, Yang Chen used his True Qi to envelop her and left the place.

As Yang Chen left, a huge commotion erupted below, with many people discussing what had happened, and the news spread rapidly.

…

At the same time, Yang Chen led Gu Liushui back to his mansion.

After returning, Yang Chen closed the formation and exchanged a glance with Gu Liushui.

Gu Liushui did not fear Yang Chen’s gaze, instead, she stared directly at him, trying to see his true intentions.

This made Yang Chen’s mouth curve up, and he slowly said, “Tell me, you couldn’t earlier, but now I want to know what happened to you. In the future, we may have to spend a long time together, and I don’t want you to keep anything from me.”

Gu Liushui did not expect Yang Chen to ask about this first. She thought he would start with a bunch of useless conversations and take advantage of her.

Thinking about it, her mood improved slightly, and Gu Liushui began to recount the past: “My parents used to be Elders in the Xuandao Sect, but their status was much lower than that of the beast Lin Baihuo. Although there are many Elders in Xuandao Sect, the gap between the positions of each Elder is huge.”

Yang Chen nodded, having some understanding of this.

For example, the gap between Fu Xuanming and some Outer Sect Elders was actually two levels. They were all Elders, but not on the same level. One was at the Middle True God Stage, while the other was at the True God Stage Great Perfection. How could their positions be the same?

Now Yang Chen was more confident in Gu Liushui’s abilities.

If it was true that Gu Liushui had grown up in the Xuandao Sect, then her understanding of the sect would indeed be unmatched by ordinary people.

Thinking about this, Yang Chen asked, “Who is that Elder?”

“His name is Lin Baihuo, and his strength has already reached the Divine Realm Great Perfection!” Gu Liushui gritted her teeth.

Yang Chen narrowed his eyes. He originally thought it would be a middle True God Stage, or at most late True God Stage Elder, but it turned out to be a true God Stage Great Perfection.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter. He never thought he would have to face such a tough character just for a servant.

With Dream Trace Daoist in front of him and the True God Stage Great Perfection Master Lin Baihuo behind him, Yang Chen truly felt unlucky.

Seeing Yang Chen’s expression, Gu Liushui seemed worried, “Are you still willing to take me in?”

Yang Chen did feel like kicking her out, but having taken her in already, it would seem unreasonable to kick her out again.

Most importantly, Lin Baihuo might not appreciate his sentiments, so he didn’t have to.

He lazily said, “It depends on your performance. Continue, what happened between Lin Baihuo and you all?”

“This matter dates back a long time. In the past, my father had a feud with Lin Baihuo. They both joined the Xuandao Sect at the same time, but my father’s talent was not as good as Lin Baihuo’s. As a result, my parents only reached the Middle True God Stage, while Lin Baihuo reached the True God Stage Great Perfection; the gap was enormous.”

At that point, Gu Liushui said fiercely, “On ordinary days, Lin Baihuo appeared quite ordinary and no one would have suspected that there was any conflict between our two families. As a result, over time, my parents let their guard down, thinking that, as members of the same sect, Lin Baihuo would have let go of any grudge. Little did they know, Lin Baihuo always remembered the feud. When my parents went on a mission together, Lin Baihuo used the opportunity to kill them both.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen asked, “Do you have any evidence?”

“I have no evidence, and nobody does. That’s why Lin Baihuo can still go unpunished today,” Gu Liushui’s voice was filled with hatred.

Yang Chen did not understand, “You have no evidence, and you didn’t accompany your parents that day, so how can you be sure it was him who did it?”

“I didn’t see Lin Baihuo kill my parents, but I know that the day after my parents died, he tried to forcibly marry me as a concubine!” Gu Liushui clenched her fists.
