“Are you Gu Qingyuan?”

The Second Elder and the others were puzzled by Fang Heng’s confusion. “Yes, my son is Gu Qingyuan. Isn’t he the one you’re looking for?”

Unexpectedly, Fang Heng withdrew his hand and quickly took the jade pendant back. There was no longer the amiable expression he had before. He said coldly and emotionlessly, “I’m looking for Gu Xi. What does it have to do with you, Gu Qingyuan?”

In an instant, the entire place fell silent. Everyone’s gaze fell on Gu Qingyuan and then on Fang Heng. Their faces were filled with disbelief. They thought that they were hearing things.

Gu Qingyuan’s hand was still in the air, waiting for the jade pendant. At this moment, he was stunned, and he did not put down his hand. His expression was quite comical.

Second Elder’s expression was also quite interesting.

Gu Zhen’an could not help but ask, “Who do you want to find?”

Fang Heng said slowly, emphasizing the name, “Gu Xi. He is the one appointed by the Sect Leader.”

Gu Xi was also a little surprised. He did not expect that he would be the target. Suddenly, everyone’s eyes were on him, turning him into the center of attention.

The Second Elder and Gu Qingyuan’s gazes were even more intense. It was as if they were going to eat him up.

“Him over there, he is Gu Xi.”

No one had expected such a reversal. After all, Gu Qingyuan was a publicly recognized genius. What was this good-for-nothing Gu Xi capable of? Was the Sect Leader blind? However, they did not dare to ask this out loud.

Gu Qingyuan could not figure it out, nor did he understand. He immediately said, “He is only at level 3 of the Body Refining stage. What right does he have?”

Fang Heng’s gaze was a little cold as if he was looking at a clown. “Who told you that he’s in the third stage of the Body Refining stage? Eldest Brother is at least in the Golden Core stage!”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. He was in the Golden Core stage! Gu Xi was so young, but he already had such heaven-defying cultivation. Such a cultivation speed and level could be ranked among the top in the whole continent.

Gu Qingyuan’s voice suddenly became shrill, and he lost his composure, “How could he have the cultivation of the Golden Core!”

The Second Elder smiled awkwardly. “Is there a misunderstanding?”

“This is personally verified by the Sect Leader. If you have any doubts, feel free to look for the Sect Leader.”

Fang Heng could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Gu Qingyuan. After the blunder just now, he was also quite embarrassed to be almost misled by these two people. If the Sect Leader found out that he had brought the wrong person back, he would lose so much face.

Turning to face Gu Xi, Fang Heng was even more eager, and his tone was a little guilty. “Eldest Brother, this is your identity jade pendant.”

At this moment, the Second Elder and Gu Qingyuan seemed to have fallen from Heaven to Hell, looking at the scene in front of them in a daze.

Besides them, there were also those who had mocked Gu Xi earlier. They wished they could turn back time and give themselves a big slap.

The atmosphere was especially strange, and it must be said that many people in the crowd had interesting expressions.

Gu Xi gazed around with interest before finally looking at the jade pendant.

Fang Heng did not dare to urge him. After all, this was a person whom even the Sect Leader had instructed to treat with respect. One could imagine how high Gu Xi’s status was.

“What benefits does becoming the Sect Leader’s personal disciple have?”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned again. Every ordinary person who had such an honor was extremely grateful. They were extremely excited to receive the jade pendant, but Gu Xi actually asked for the benefits.

Gu Qingyuan clenched his fists and looked at Gu Xi with an extremely piercing gaze. “So ungrateful!”

They originally thought that Fang Heng would turn hostile, but who would have thought that he would be so respectful. “I heard that the Sect Leader plans to give one of the eighteen peaks to Eldest Brother as his residence.”

What?!

“... Also, you can even go to the Treasure Pavilion to choose treasures.”

One after another, heavy news came crashing down, making everyone dizzy. Only the Sect Leader had such a grand display of benefits.

Gu Xi revealed a reluctant expression. “Is that it?”

In an instant, everyone felt that he deserved a beating to the extreme, and their fists hardened.

Everyone was shocked by such a big pie, but in Gu Xi’s case, it seemed to be just an ordinary pie.

Fang Heng did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he felt that Gu Xi was even more mysterious. After all, he had heard some news earlier that the person in front of him was someone who could kill the Black-armored Evil Ape in one move.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gu Zhen’an was the one who reacted the fastest. He immediately announced, “The next Clan Leader will be Gu Xi.”

As expected of the Clan Leader, he was swift and decisive. Even though he used to admire Gu Qingyuan, what could he do? Now that Gu Xi’s status had risen, and the sect valued him so much, it was the sensible choice.

From Shen Tianyi’s actions, it could be seen how much he valued this disciple. Gu Zhen’an naturally would not disrespect him.

The Clan Leader should put the interests of the clan first. Obviously, investing in Gu Xi would maximize the benefits.

Gu Qingyuan turned pale with fright. “Clan Leader!”

However, Gu Zhen’an, who had always been gentle and tolerant to him, showed a righteous and strict expression at this moment. He asked coldly, “Do you have any objections?”

Gu Qingyuan wanted to speak but was stopped by the Second Elder next to him. After all, he was an old fox who had experienced a lot of storms. “Qingyuan, don’t be rash!”

The others had no choice but to acknowledge that Gu Xi had achieved great success. Who would have thought that the publicly-acknowledged loser of the clan would emerge as the Sect Leader’s personal disciple?

Without Gu Qingyuan’s interruption, Gu Zhen’an continued seriously, “This is the token of the head of the clan, and I’ll give it to you.”

He took out a black iron token, on which there were dancing dragons and phoenixes, it was engraved with the word ‘Gu’, which was the symbol of the head of the clan. With this token, Gu Xi’s power was greatly increased, and the resources of the clan were at his disposal.

“Also, take these spirit stones. If you don’t have enough, you can for more. In addition, go to the clan and select some people to guard you, for your safety.”

Just like that, Gu Zhen’an had given him so much of the clan’s resources, shocking everyone.

Good things seemed to come to Gu Xi non-stop. An ordinary person would have fainted from excitement.?However, Gu Xi was calm. It was as if no matter how much he received, it did not make any difference in his eyes. Gu Zhen’an could not help but think highly of his temperament.

Although he did not have a deep understanding of Gu Xi, he would not doubt Shen Tianyi’s decision. If the Sect Leader is treating Gu Xi with so much respect, Gu Zhen’an naturally would not underestimate him.

“If the matters in the clan are settled, I hope Eldest Senior Brother can return to the sect with me now.”

Gu Xi nodded, “Okay then, let’s go.”

Under the envious gazes of the Gu Clan disciples, Gu Xi, Fang Heng, and the others left. They believed that they would never forget what happened today.
