This news truly baffled Xuan Wudao.
He knew Chen Changan was a mysterious person with unfathomable strength.
But he never imagined there was such a connection between him and Chen Changan?
His own father, who was arrogant and respected no one, actually chased after Chen Changan wanting to become sworn brothers back then?
Was this still the old man he knew?
However, upon closer thought, Xuan Wudao felt it wasn't entirely impossible.
Chen Changan only looked young; that didn't mean he was actually young.
When Xuan Wudao first met Chen Changan three thousand years ago, the bastard looked to be in his early twenties. Now that Xuan Wudao had become a middle-aged man, Chen Changan still looked to be in his early twenties.
It wasn't that Xuan Wudao couldn't maintain a youthful appearance, but he felt it was a bit disingenuous to pretend to be young at his age.
"To be honest, how many years have you actually lived?" Xuan Wudao asked Chen Changan with a serious expression.
"At least ten thousand years," Chen Changan didn't hide it.
Ten thousand years?
Holy crap, Chen Changan had actually lived for ten thousand years?
What did this mean?
This was absolutely the existence of a super expert!
He had actually made a bet with him back then? Was he out of his mind?
"You... you are at the Great Emperor realm?" Xuan Wudao asked in shock.
Xuan Wudao's words also made Gu Xian'er's heart tremble. The Great Emperor, a realm that existed only in legends, was actually by her side?
And she was his maid?
"Great Emperor?"
"I can only say that even at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, they couldn't harm me in the slightest." Chen Changan's tone was calm, as if he were discussing something trivial.
However, only Xuan Wudao knew the extent of his inner turmoil.
Peak Great Emperor realm couldn't harm him? And he made a bet with him back then? Should he be happy or not?
Did this mean he also had the same treatment as a peak Great Emperor?
Why did he feel a little happy about it?
Pah!
Calm down, calm down!
After Xuan Wudao blocked out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, his gaze towards Chen Changan had changed.
Deeply hidden, an reclusive expert, full of mystery.
Most importantly, Chen Changan was different from other top experts; he... resembled someone.
That's right, he resembled someone! An ordinary person.
Xuan Wudao had to admit that even he, as his strength grew, had undergone changes in his mindset.
Viewing human lives as insignificant, arrogance, difficulty in getting along, and so on...
But Chen Changan? He acted on his whims, had a peaceful mindset, and treated everyone equally regardless of their status.
Could this be the realm of a true expert?
As he pondered, Xuan Wudao felt he had gained some insight.
"Old..."
Suddenly, Xuan Wudao didn't know how to address Chen Changan anymore.
Call him Old Chen? The man knew his own father.
Call him Grandpa? He couldn't bring himself to say it.
"It's fine, call me however you used to."
"We'll each address each other accordingly. Your father called me big brother, so you can call me Old Chen. It's all the same," Chen Changan said with a faint smile.
"Okay, I'll call you Old Chen. By that logic, am I of a higher generation than my father when it comes to you?"
"No, that's not right. Are we of the same generation? How does this even work?"
Xuan Wudao was skilled in cultivation, but perhaps not so adept in other matters.
"It doesn't matter, it's not important."
"Yes, it's not important."
"Hahaha, suddenly, I feel much more relaxed."
"However, I really need to leave now."
"Alright, if fate allows, we will meet again in the future."
"Not bad."
Xuan Wudao smiled and nodded, then greeted Da Huang.
Xuan Wudao turned to leave but suddenly stopped.
He looked back at Chen Changan, a lewd smile in his eyes.
"While I was looking for you over the years, I heard something."
"I originally thought it was just someone with the same name, but since you've lived so long, I think it's probably related to you."
Huh?
Something related to him?
"What is it?" Chen Changan asked doubtfully.
"Do you know someone named Changsun Xixue?"
Changsun Xixue?
Hearing the name, Chen Changan was also stunned. Over the years, he hadn't known many people, but not few either.
Someone with the surname Changsun?
Why couldn't he recall it for a moment?
"Da Huang, do you remember this person?" Chen Changan asked.
Da Huang shook its head, clearly having no impression of the name at all.
"You don't know her?"
"But I heard that Changsun Xixue has been looking for someone named Chen Changan for nearly five thousand years."
"Five thousand years, damn it, that's even longer than my time!"
"And this Changsun Xixue is very strong. I heard she has already reached the peak of the Undying Realm ninth level and has a great chance of breaking through to become a Great Emperor realm expert."
Looking for five thousand years?
Meaning, if he knew her, it would have been around five thousand years ago?
What had he been doing five thousand years ago?
"Um... why was she looking for Chen Changan? Did you hear that?" Chen Changan asked curiously.
"I heard it was seemingly to marry Chen Changan."
"As for the specific reason, I'm not too sure."
"Five thousand years, that's true devotion. If it really is you, you're a real scoundrel, making a girl look for you for five thousand years."
Marry Chen Changan?
Chen Changan was even more bewildered. He didn't seem to have any romantic entanglements, did he?
Changsun Xixue? Changsun Xixue, Changsun...
Suddenly, Chen Changan's mind jolted, and a rather distant memory surfaced in his mind.
It's over!
He knew her, he actually knew her!
"Da Huang, this is all your fault!"
"You disaster!"
Chen Changan suddenly cursed at Da Huang, leaving Da Huang utterly confused.
Xuan Wudao, however, noticed something at this moment and exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, it really is you?"
"You... you're amazing, truly amazing. I'm impressed."
To be remembered by a woman for five thousand years, and such a being as Changsun Xixue at that, was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
However, Xuan Wudao was curious what Da Huang had to do with this.
"Enough!"
"Just because I'm not speaking doesn't mean I'm mute."
"Are you done cursing? She wants to marry you, what does that have to do with me? It's not like she's marrying me."
Da Huang couldn't help but retort, causing Gu Xian'er, who was standing nearby, to be surprised, realizing that Da Huang was not just an ordinary dog.
"Has nothing to do with me?"
"If it weren't for you back then, I wouldn't have fallen into Changsun Xixue's..."
At this point, Chen Changan suddenly stopped, making Xuan Wudao scratch his head anxiously. Why did he shut up at such a crucial moment?
"Say it, go on, fell into Changsun Xixue's what?" Xuan Wudao urged anxiously.
Da Huang was also stunned at this moment. Reminded by Chen Changan, it seemed to recall something as well.
"So it was her."
"No wonder. That girl chased you all the way back then. After all these years, you still haven't let it go?"
"That's not right. Shouldn't she want to kill you then? How did it turn into wanting to marry you?"
"I say, brother Da Huang, can we stop speaking in riddles? Just tell me, what exactly happened back then."
Xuan Wudao felt like he was going crazy. Can you guys just say what you mean clearly?
"Oh, it's nothing much. It's just that Chen Changan saw the girl completely naked and even touched her."
Huh?
Touched her?
Touched what?
"Holy crap, Chen Changan, I never knew you were like this!"
"I despise you!"
