"Ancestor, Grandmaster?"
Jiang Ruolin, who was accompanying Gu Feng, was caught off-guard by Wan Hua’s kneeling and kowtowing.
And next to her, Cui Lan had already beco dumbstruck as a wooden chicken.
This is Emperor-Sealing, after all.
A mighty figure reigning over an outer realm in the Cultivation World.
But now he is kneeling before them, addressing Gu Feng as "Grandmaster"?
A look of astonishnt and fear flickered across Cui Lan’s eyes as she gazed at Gu Feng’s silhouette.
Her expression was complex.
Because prior to this, it was this man who made her serve as his woman’s maid.
And had promised that after serving for a thousand years, she would beco an Emperor-Sealing entity.
Cui Lan had never taken Gu Feng’s promise seriously before, because she knew that the Gu Family didn’t currently have the foundation to fulfill that promise.
She only felt that she, being from a Level 8 Cultivation Family and a lower-ranked female mber, and with Jiang Family having the Fulman family’s Secret Technique bestowed upon them, Jiang Ruolin, with her talent and qualifications, may not match Reese’s strength, but was definitely beyond comparison with the Cui Family.
It was a stroke of luck for her to beco Jiang Ruolin’s maid.
Which is why she was willing to serve Jiang Ruolin.
But who would have thought that Miss Jiang’s man had this background?
To have an Emperor-Sealing big shot put aside his pride and kneel and bow, addressing soone as "Grandmaster" in front of their family’s descendants!
This indicated that Senior Gu’s strength must be extraordinary.
Cui Lan’s mind instantly associated this with a person.
That mysterious figure who supported the Fulman family behind the scenes in settling their affairs!
Could it be that the mysterious person was Senior Gu?
Cui Lan was startled by her own conclusion.
Considering that the Fulman family did not hesitate to share their Secret Technique with the Jiang Family, who only had Fourth Layer Heaven strength, it indicated that this mysterious figure’s power was enough to make the Fulman family afraid to renege on a promise, and Forman Risi himself, with his 21 Layer Heavens power, was still fearful of this mysterious figure. Therefore, Wan Hua’s deanor, whose strength was just at the entrance level of Emperor-Sealing, was not surprising at all!
If Senior Gu really was that mysterious figure, then Cui Lan was genuinely excited and expectant.
Perhaps, he truly had the power to keep his promise and allow her to beco Emperor-Sealing after serving for a thousand years?
In contrast to Cui Lan’s secret delight, the kneeling mbers of the Wang Family were full of curiosity.
Each one of them was speculating in their hearts about which powerful Senior Gu Feng might be.
The words "Grandmaster" allowed them to narrow down their analysis.
Old Ancestor Wan Hua was the fifth-generation descendant of the Wan Family, so all the sects and lineages that the ancestors of the Wan Family had entered could possibly be the "Grandmaster" of the Wang Family mbers.
And this Senior currently had the surna Gu.
Could he also be the Gu Family Ancestor?
The descendants of the Wan Family never associated Gu Feng with that Taoist Ancestor of the Gu Family, thus they grew even more puzzled about which other extraordinary and peerless figure other than Emperor Qingxue could be from the Gu Family?
"Everyone, please rise," Gu Feng said to the group, and then gestured to a sowhat flustered Jiang Ruolin who stood up, "You may sit down."
"This..." Jiang Ruolin thought to herself that this was improper, after all, the man kneeling was an Emperor-Sealing big shot.
And since they were kneeling to Gu Feng, Jiang Ruolin didn’t dare to commit an impropriety.
"Ancestor Grandmother, please take a seat," Gu Weiting, the current Clan Leader of the Gu Family, hurriedly said to Jiang Ruolin with a smile.
Jiang Ruolin, still intimidated by the influence brought about by being an Emperor-Sealing figure, quickly waved her hand to indicate that she was fine standing.
Gu Weiting leaned close to Wan Hua’s ear and reminded him of Jiang Ruolin’s reincarnated identity, leaving Wan Hua’s face in shock.
He then hurriedly invited Jiang Ruolin to sit down: "Grandmaster, please take a seat. Your disciple also pays respects to you."
As he spoke, he knelt down again.
The younger mbers of the Wang Family had just gotten up, so they could only follow their ancestor and kneel down before Jiang Ruolin once again.
Jiang Ruolin was instantly dumbfounded: "Please, get up, get up. Emperor Wang, what are you doing?"
Wan Hua waved his hand: "Grandmaster, please don’t call that. You can just call by my na, Wan Hua."
Gu Feng said to Jiang Ruolin: "You should sit; otherwise, they won’t get up."
Jiang Ruolin had absolutely no idea how to handle such an occasion.
Seeing her hand being pulled by Gu Feng, she had no choice but to steel herself and sit down.
At that mont, Cui Lan quickly and deftly helped Jiang Ruolin back into her seat.
Gu Feng said: "Stand up, everyone."
Wan Hua then stood up, not forgetting to take another glance at Gu Feng, with both nerves and excitent in his heart.
It was also his first ti eting the Grandmaster.
The nervousness and excitent were because Gu Feng was the Taoist Ancestor who pioneered the path of Cultivation!
He was the unattainable peak and founder for all Cultivators.
Wan Lin and others behind him also stood up, and only then did their thoughts catch up as they asked Gu Yuanqi in a low voice: "Old Qi, I have sorted it through – the only one who could call our ancestor ’Grandmaster’ in your Gu Family would be the Taoist Ancestor, right?"
Gu Yuanqi replied: "Yes, this is the Gu Family Ancestor, the Taoist Ancestor."
Wan Lin’s eyes widened, and legs going weak, he inadvertently knelt down.
He had initially only knelt because their ancestor did, but now that he knew Gu Feng’s identity, he was genuinely frightened into kneeling.
Seeing him react so exaggeratedly, Wan Hua furrowed his brows, frightening Wan Lin into spontaneously standing up, then he approached Gu Yuanqi with a smile as if wanting to cry: "Damn, why didn’t you tell earlier?"
If he had known earlier, he would have knelt and kowtowed with even more proper and precise etiquette than just now outside.
"Today, Ruolin ntioned she wanted to co over to have a look, and only then did I know that it was your Wang Family hosting this banquet," Gu Feng said to Wan Hua, then glanced at Wan Lin: "Did I hear correctly from your junior that you have a duplicate you’ve been thinking over?"
Wan Hua quickly bowed in respect: "To not conceal it from the Grandmaster, indeed, I have discovered a secret realm, and I am certain that there are Emperor-level Secret Techniques within the cave mansion; it’s just that my strength was insufficient to gain anything from that secret realm."
Gu Weiting, who was after all an old friend of Wan Hua, didn’t forget to speak up for him at this ti: "Ancestor, when the Gu Family faced calamity and needed to hide, it was thanks to Wan Hua who helped us gather information and cover for us. Otherwise, the Gu Family alone couldn’t have managed to deceive the heavens and escape."
Wan Hua said: "Our family’s Ancestor has instructed us to maintain an eternal alliance with the Gu Family. What the Wang Family did was only right. However, during the tis of the Gu Family’s hardship, we indeed were powerless, and I ask for the Grandmaster’s punishnt."
"Let it be," Gu Feng sighed. "Considering your Wang Family has maintained this old sentint for millions of years is indeed rare. Lead the way, I’ll go with you to take a look at this secret realm you ntioned."
Gu Weiting then turned flatteringly towards Jiang Ruolin, persuading her: "Ancestor Grandmother, why don’t you co back with to the Gu Family? Everyone at ho is waiting to pay respects to you."
Jiang Ruolin’s face turned red, and before she could refuse, Gu Feng said: "Go ahead. If you don’t go, they’ll co to your place to pay their respects."
Saying this, he said to Cui Lan: "Xiao Cui, take good care of her."
"Yes!" Cui Lan happily bowed. She wished she could stick closely by Jiang Ruolin’s side.
At this point, even if Jiang Ruolin wanted to dismiss her maid, Cui Lan would probably cling like a persistent plaster to this incredible opportunity.
"Ancestor Grandmother, let’s go. Without you old leaving, the Ancestor not going back, the residence always feels like it’s missing sothing," Gu Yuanqi also quickly ca over to persuade.
Jiang Ruolin, seeing Gu Feng and Wan Hua first going to attend to the duplicate’s affairs and unable to overco the enthusiasm of these people, was supported and taken outside.
