As for whether Chen Zhixing will fail to prove the Dao.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Taoist Fei Xue's eyes: "If he hasn't proven the Dao within a hundred years, a Longevity True Monarch will naturally intervene to probe this Young Master Xuantian's depth of cultivation."

Qin Yi nodded blankly.

Then, she saw a radiant smile appear on Taoist Fei Xue's face again:

"Xiao Yi, look, since he has shown the talent for longevity, we have already displayed the stance and time appropriate for treating a Longevity True Monarch, and it was his Chen family's ancestor, Chen Tianyuan, who suggested this... If Chen Zhixing fails so many of our expectations and proves to be disappointing, isn't it fair that his end is a bit tragic?"

Qin Yi: "..."

...

Qin Yi had to admit, the higher the realm a person reaches, the more terrifying their disposition becomes.

Regarding this, Qin Yi didn't know whether it was the effect of cultivation or if the long life truly changed human nature.

Yet no matter how she viewed it, Qin Yi still found that the higher a person's cultivation, the more 'straightforward' and 'pure' their nature became.

It wasn't that they didn't lie, were easily deceived, or anything like that.

But these people, the higher their cultivation, the more they were willing to obsess over trivial matters, in other words, the more inclined they were to observe rules and promises!

As they became smarter, they also became more 'true'.

The names Master, True Monarch, seem to originate from this aspect.

If you agree with someone to meet ten years later on the same day for a drink, perhaps if it's an ordinary person, they might forget, be delayed by other matters, or not think it's worth it to delay for you.

But if it's someone of the Longevity True Monarch level, such things would never happen.

Once they agree, they will fulfill it.

Even if ten years pass and you are still an ordinary person, but they've evolved into a Longevity True Monarch, they would still adhere to the agreement, obsessively so.

Even if something unexpected happens along the way causing delays, these True Monarchs, Masters would find you as quickly as possible, explain the reasons, and seek your understanding.

Whether after you've forgiven them, you will still have interactions, or if you even have the qualifications for them to apologize, etc.

Masters do not care.

One could say, they care not about you, but about the agreement itself.

This strange phenomenon, Qin Yi couldn't understand at the moment. In her self-mockery, she said it was because her realm wasn't high enough to comprehend why.

Interestingly, this phenomenon doesn't just occur with those who have already proven the Dao to longevity, but also with each peak individual aspiring to prove the Dao to longevity.

This... seems to be a secret to proving the Dao to longevity?

Qin Yi didn't know why, but it didn't stop her from learning this aspect.

Therefore, after handling the trifles of the Nanxuan Alliance, she ascended Ziwei Mountain once more.

Only this time, she came not to visit the brothers Chen Zhixing and Chen Zhaosheng but to see a person.

Guu Xun!

After giving the Chen Family notice and receiving permission, Qin Yi was led by a Snow Demon Race dark guard to a small courtyard.

A rather large courtyard.

With green bricks and tiles, built in a place rich in Spiritual Qi, the courtyard walls were covered in ivy, and inside grew a silver ginkgo tree over a thousand years old.

And indeed, it was the season when ginkgo flowers were in bloom.

A light breeze blew, the canopy of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree swayed, sending silver-white flying in the sky, like poetry, like paintings.

"Truly beautiful..."

Thus, Qin Yi stood in front of the gate for almost a quarter of an hour, before regaining her senses.

She pushed open the gate in front of her and walked inside.

At first glance upon entering, Qin Yi saw Guu Xun sitting under the ginkgo tree.

The young girl in an apricot-yellow robe, seeing Qin Yi walk in, did not appear surprised and merely said calmly to her:

"Qin Yi, have you seen Granny?"

Qin Yi remained silent, merely sitting opposite the girl.

Qin Yi naturally knew who Guu Xun'er referred to as Granny, also knowing that she was actually someone arranged by the Ancient Clan beside Guu Xun'er, not truly a loyal helper as the girl imagined.

By now, she should have returned to the Ancient Clan.

Seeing Qin Yi not answering, Guu Xun'er didn't mind, just serenely stared at the falling petals from the sky, reaching out a hand to catch them.

And then.

"Qin Yi, neither of us can fight against the Chen Family, if possible, could you pass a message to my father, asking him to steer clear from these noble families... These noble families will consume people."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi slightly frowned, and after pondering for a moment, spoke for the first time:

"I will relay your message, but one thing, Xun'er, don't you think your Ancient Clan is one of these noble families too?"

At this moment, Guu Xun'er's eyes seemed to flicker for a split second, then she shook her head at Qin Yi:

"The Ancient Clan is not yet a noble family, at least not yet."

"Hmm?"

"You don't understand."

"..."

Qin Yi laughed in exasperation at Guu Xun'er's mystifying demeanor: "Where do I not understand, Xun'er, don't forget, I am from the Celestial Saint Palace, and the Celestial Saint Palace is one of the three Great Sacred Lands of the present age. To be blunt, our Celestial Saint Palace is one of the greatest noble families under the heavens!"

Yet faced with Qin Yi's words, Guu Xun'er continued to shake her head, looking at her with an odd gaze.

Qin Yi frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It's different."

"What's different?"

"Hehe."

Guu Xun'er suddenly laughed, her laughter particularly bright, and only when Qin Yi's eyes were about to show anger did Guu Xun'er retract her smile, and said seriously to Qin Yi: "Before staying in this courtyard, I also thought my Ancient Clan was one of the noble families, but now I realize it's different.

Not only the Ancient Clan, but your Celestial Saint Palace also differs from the noble families, this distinction emerges from the root.

I cannot specifically explain these to you, but Qin Yi, if you trust me, I advise you to stay away from these noble families, as far as possible, especially the Chen Family..."

When speaking here, Guu Xun'er seemed to remember something, her face gradually showing a hint of terror.

Soon, this terror spread across her face.

"Quickly go! Qin Yi, quickly leave here, leave Ziwei Mountain! Hurry! Otherwise, you will become one of them!"

Qin Yi: "???"

"Quickly go! Trust me! What a person says before dying is good!"

"Xun'er you..."

"Would this dying person still deceive you! Go!!!"

"Xun'er...."

Just as Qin Yi wanted to step forward to ask clearly.

Suddenly, from the gate behind her in the courtyard, a soft cough was heard.

"Alliance Leader Qin."

That voice didn't attempt to stop her, merely reminded softly and then fell silent.

Yet this reminder brought Guu Xun'er quickly back to calmness.

This rapid change was comparable to changing faces, leaving Qin Yi dumbfounded.

"Xun'er you...."

"I'm fine."

The serene Guu Xun'er displayed a calm smile, at this moment, she looked at Qin Yi with the gaze of one looking at an old friend reunited:

"I'm quite well, the Chen Family treats me fairly, although I can only live in this courtyard, everything I need for living is provided, just lacking some people to talk with."

This moment's Guu Xun'er, warm as a daisy about to bloom.

Under the falling flowers of the ginkgo tree, appearing so poignantly beautiful.

Yet for some reason.

Watching this scene, a chill rose within Qin Yi.

What exactly did Guu Xun'er encounter?

How did she become like this in such a short time?

Is it really a kind warning, or is there something else....?

And also.

What on earth is being hidden within this Ziwei Chen Family.....
