Ye Qiye wanted to stay on the "surface."
The reason he stayed on the "surface" was to apprentice himself!
He wanted to apprentice himself to the "mysterious senior"!
For the sake of the "mysterious senior," Ye Qiye was willing to give up the "Nine Revolutions Undying Demonic Art"!
This...
Gu Zhenren swallowed hard.
It's over, this situation is becoming harder and harder to explain!
Gu Zhenren weakly looked at "Da Guangtou."
At this moment, "Da Guangtou" had already lost patience. He glared and said in a gruff voice.
"A Gu, what's going on? I told you to contact Qiye to come back, why haven't you contacted him properly yet?"
"Uh... Reporting to the Great Leader, Young Master Qiye, he might temporarily... that, what, not plan to come back!"
What was that?
Temporarily not planning to come back?
"Da Guangtou" almost thought he heard wrong.
"Say that again!"
Gu Zhenren had no choice but to say it again tremblingly.
"Reporting to the Great Leader, Young Master Qiye said he doesn't plan to come back for now!"
"Da Guangtou" fell silent!
Obviously, this matter was too shocking, and he couldn't digest it for a moment.
It took a full minute before "Da Guangtou" could barely come to his senses.
"A Gu, did you not explain clearly to Qiye? I didn't intend to punish him, how could I bear to punish him? He is my precious little darling... Cough cough, in short, I planned to pass on the Nine Revolutions Undying Demonic Art to him. Did you make that clear to him?"
Gu Zhenren's mouth twitched. He said helplessly.
"Reporting to the Great Leader, I made it clear, but Young Master Qiye still refuses to come back!"
Silence!
"Da Guangtou" fell silent again!
This time, it took a full two minutes before "Da Guangtou" spoke again. He managed to find a "reasonable" excuse.
"Oh, I see, Qiye must think this is a trap. He thinks I want to trick him into coming back to punish him... Heh heh, this child, just like me, is cautious, prudent, and has a bright future!"
"Da Guangtou's" "doting" on Ye Qiye was somewhat insane.
He said to Gu Zhenren.
"A Gu, just tell Qiye that I guarantee with my honor, I will never deceive him..."
What a familiar saying.
The same "guarantee with my honor"!
Alas!
Gu Zhenren was even more helpless. He said.
"Reporting to the Great Leader, I already guaranteed with my honor just now, and Young Master Qiye still refuses to come back!"
"Hey, your guarantee of honor is naturally not enough, it has to be my guarantee of honor!"
Is there a difference?
They were all practitioners of the "Demonic Path," and their "honor" was worse than each other.
In comparison, my "honor" is slightly better than yours.
Gu Zhenren grumbled in his heart, but he had no choice but to contact Ye Qiye again as "Da Guangtou" instructed.
The result, as expected.
Ye Qiye's reply was as follows:
The Great Leader guarantees with his honor? Uh... Gu Zhenren, do you think the atmosphere is too stuffy and you're telling me a joke to liven things up? Does the Great Leader even have honor?
Ye Qiye didn't use any foul language throughout, but it was as if he had said a thousand words.
For the sake of his own life, Gu Zhenren dared not translate the "entire message" to "Da Guangtou."
He condensed and optimized it slightly.
"Great Leader, Young Master Qiye said: I'm not coming back!"
"Da Guangtou" stared with wide eyes, suspiciously sizing up Gu Zhenren.
"A Gu, I'm uneducated, don't lie to me, okay? I saw your mother Gu say a long string of insect language, but the translation is only two words?"
Gu Zhenren quickly said.
"Great Leader, you are exceptionally intelligent, who would dare to deceive you, and who could deceive you? That insect language translated just now really means two words: I'm not coming back!"
"Da Guangtou" was very pleased to hear the words "exceptionally intelligent."
He squinted with a smile, reached out and stroked his bare, shiny head, and said with a smile.
"A Gu, you, you just like to speak the truth! Next time, don't just casually say ten thousand times, okay!"
Uh...
Ten thousand times?
Heh heh, not much, not much at all!
Gu Zhenren was speechless.
At this moment, "Da Guangtou" spoke again.
"A Gu, why exactly is Qiye unwilling to come back?"
"Uh..."
Gu Zhenren hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still dared not hide anything and answered honestly.
"Reporting to the Great Leader, Young Master Qiye said he wants to stay on the surface and apprentice himself to a mysterious senior..."
Before Gu Zhenren finished speaking, he trembled all over.
He felt it, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to "freezing point."
The "Abyssal Sea of Fire" below was clearly burning fiercely, yet it emitted no heat.
"Da Guangtou" exuded boundless icy killing intent, suppressing the eight directions, and the fire in the "Abyssal Sea of Fire" was completely suppressed.
This time, "Da Guangtou" was truly enraged!
Trembling!
Gu Zhenren was so scared that his whole body trembled, and even "flying in the air" became difficult, almost causing him to fall from the sky.
This terrifying silence lasted for a full three minutes, and finally, "Da Guangtou" spoke.
His voice was icy cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"A Gu, by doing this, does he think that our Abyssal Nine Revolutions Undying Demonic Art is not as good as a surface cultivator?"
Gu Zhenren quickly shook his head, shaking it like a rattle drum.
"No, no, absolutely not! Our Abyssal Nine Revolutions Undying Demonic Art is incredibly powerful, with heaven-defying combat power, unrivaled in heaven and earth. Surface cultivators are simply incomparable!"
"Then, why did Qiye choose to apprentice himself to a surface cultivator instead of returning to the abyss to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Undying Demonic Art?"
This question was too sharp!
It was simply a "death sentence"!
Gu Zhenren wanted to cry but had no tears.
Great Leader, don't ask me, damn it, how would I know Young Master Qiye's "thought process"?
The "Mother-Child Dual Birth Gu" could only collect surrounding sounds and transmit them to Gu Zhenren. Gu Zhenren learned a little about the "surface" through the discussions of the people around him. He really didn't understand Ye Qiye's "inner thoughts"!
Gu Zhenren struggled and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a "good answer."
At this moment, "Da Guangtou" changed the subject and asked Gu Zhenren.
"A Gu, tell me, who exactly is this surface cultivator that Qiye wants to apprentice himself to?"
"Da Guangtou's" tone was chilling, clearly showing murderous intent.
How dare you try to steal my "son"? I'll kill you!
Gu Zhenren dared not delay, and immediately fully activated the "Mother-Child Dual Birth Gu," starting to collect information about the "mysterious senior."
Fortunately, at this time, everyone in the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" was discussing the "mysterious senior," and all of it was clearly heard by the "child Gu," then transmitted to Gu Zhenren!
