Above all spirits

Chapter 192 The Crisis of the Family (Part 1)

"Brother, where did you find this girl? She's so hot, but her figure and looks don't match at all. Tell me honestly, is she disguised or is she actually stunningly beautiful?"

Before Gu Yun could step forward, Ji Ning came to Gu Yun's side and whispered something.

"Yes."

Gu Yun did not refute.

He then glared at Ye Ying'er, putting things one thing at a time. He was slightly dissatisfied that Ye Ying'er hadn't used the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will - Formless to transform her entire body, but had only changed her facial makeup using ordinary methods.

I don't know what she was thinking.

Could it be that maintaining this state for too long would cause a significant drain on one's strength?

Or perhaps it was overused before, since Nirvana Finger can only restore health, not mana.

Transmit the message.

"Normally, it's fine as you please, but you'd better not make any mistakes when I ask you to."

"I remember you still owe me ten thousand star coins, right?"

"If you can't even handle things properly, you might not lose your life, but you'll have to be prepared to give up all your savings."

Hearing Gu Yun's somewhat displeased tone, and feeling the weight of ten thousand star coins pressing down on her shoulders like a mountain, Ye Ying'er became a little nervous. She sat up straight, her forehead glistening with a few sparkles.

He kept nodding, showing none of the maturity and aura that a peak Saint Body should possess.

Gu Yun is not a domineering person. Although he controls Ye Ying'er's life, her life and death are entirely in his hands.

But this was only to ensure that Ye Ying'er wouldn't betray him or reveal his secrets. He still gave her a lot of freedom, and didn't even take a penny from her, not even money or sex.

prior to.

Gu Yun saw Ye Ying'er empty her entire fortune and display it to him, which amounted to less than five thousand star coins, making her look pitiful.

Considering her humble circumstances and the fact that she would be working under him in the future, he didn't ask her for the money for the time being. He simply told her not to forget that she still owed him 10,000 star coins when she had money in the future.

after all.

For Gu Yun, Star Coins were merely a medium for indirectly using the power of the stars.

Ye Ying'er naturally understood all of this, which is why she appeared so nervous.

That's just how people are; you often have to admire their incredible adaptability.

From the moment she learned that Gu Yun was not a vicious villain but rather a devil with principles, money became far more important to her than life.

"I knew it! With my sharp eyes, I couldn't have been wrong."

Ji Ning nodded with absolute self-affirmation, but showed no sign of overstepping her bounds, as if she were simply curious and seeking an answer.

This surprised Gu Yun somewhat.

He was also preparing to tell Ji Ning the other party's true strength and age, so that he could assess his own capabilities and not overthink things.

This time they weren't as playful as before, which is a big improvement and deserves recognition.

Shang Wenqing, Bai Qing'er, and Su Xiaoqian greeted Gu Yun in turn as she approached.

Gu Yun gestured to Shang Wenqing with his eyes, then tossed him a spatial ring and said.

"Uncle Shang, it's already filled with the power of the stars, here you go."

Shang Wenqing immediately caught it steadily with great care, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

It was as if he were holding an extremely precious glass cup, which would shatter into dust if dropped on the ground with the slightest carelessness.

After sensing it, he was overjoyed and excitedly thanked Gu Yun.

"Master Gu, you are truly amazing! I knew I hadn't followed the wrong person! Hehe!"

Gu Yun nodded slightly in agreement and then came to Xiao Li's side. She saw that Xiao Li was also sitting upright and nervous, just like Ye Ying'er. At first glance, the two of them seemed to have a great understanding.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Li replied with a wry smile via telepathy.

"Big brother, the person next to me is at least at the ninth level of the Holy Body, how can I not be nervous sitting next to me?"

Xiao Li is currently at the fifth level of the Sacred Body. Although he has been cultivating continuously with the Soul Crystals provided by Gu Yun, his talent is inferior to others, and it will still take some time for him to reach the sixth level.

But it's soon.

Xiao Li's system would display three question marks if an individual's strength exceeded his by one major realm.

Looking at the three question marks on Ye Ying'er's shoulder, Xiao Li conveyed only one meaning to Gu Yun in his eyes—"What do you think?"

Gu Yun shrugged and replied telepathically.

"Wan Xingchen asked you to keep an eye out for him before, in which venue?"

"Or is it already over?"

Xiao Li thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No, he never appeared."

"This is the last batch. I don't quite understand it either, but the panel identified by the system is definitely the most authentic panel. Disguise is useless against me."

"So, although he signed up, it seems that it was just a pretext, and he did not actually participate in this Star Realm Conference."

"why is that?"

"Isn't this his last chance to participate? Is he really willing to give it up?"

"With his ability, he can definitely achieve a good ranking in this competition, at least a top ten is guaranteed."

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, clearly surprised to hear the news.

This situation cannot be said to be unforeseen, but the probability is very small, and it is almost not considered.

Could it be that something unexpected has happened again?

Wan Xingchen was merely a seventh-level Saint Body cultivator, despite being the eldest son of Emperor Canglan.

But it doesn't really help the overall situation. Such a straightforward exit has attracted some people's attention, which only increases the risk and creates more resistance.

Was it because I replaced the Arrogant Envoy or because of the arrival of the Temple of War?

The two things that are currently unfavorable to him on Crimson Flame Star are nothing more than these two.

That was surprisingly decisive.

They withdrew from the competition without hesitation.

"Naturally, there are greater benefits at hand."

"The ranking in the Star Realm Tournament is just an empty title. As for the reward, the Canglan Empire is not unable to afford it."

Wan Xingchen must have done something to leave the stage early.

He didn't know what he had done.

However, Gu Yun was able to foresee the consequences of leaving early.

This made his eyelids twitch.

That's not something to celebrate.

It symbolizes an ominous sign.

Gu Yun's complexion was unusually somber.

"Uncle Shang, has the family been in contact recently?"

Perhaps because Gu Yuncai had brought him a huge windfall, he didn't think things through too deeply and just blurted out the facts.

"Not much. Recently, I just informed the family about Daisy's arrangements."

"It's strange, though. It's been quite a while and I haven't received a reply yet. I guess something has been holding me back."

"what happened?"

Gu Yun turned to ask Ji Ning.

"And you, do you keep in regular contact with your family?"

Ji Ning scratched his head a little awkwardly.

"I just said goodbye and left that day..."

Gu Yun: So filial!

Xiao Li knew more about Gu Yun than Shang Wenqing and Ji Ning did.

Following Gu Yun's train of thought, he blurted out in shock.

"Brother, you mean..."

"Yes, the Canglan Empire may have made a move against the six major families ahead of time, and it is very likely that they did so simultaneously."
