Seeing Gu Yu's shocked expression, Xie Feng laughed. The hardships he had endured back then were now being experienced by his disciple. Although it wasn't kind of him, it felt really good!
Xie Feng looked up at a 45-degree angle, gazing at the sky, and recalled, "That person... taught me Sword Dao in this way. Although the method was strict, I found it extremely effective! From then on, I learned any sword technique with ease!"
Gu Yu hissed softly, feeling a strange pang of sympathy for Xie Feng. He cautiously asked, "Who is that person?"
Xie Feng said with deep gratitude, "Senior Jing Yuan! She has a bad temper, but she taught me a lot. She's like a mentor to me on my life's journey! By the way, if you're interested, I can take you to meet her sometime!"
"No need, no need! This disciple... this disciple will just send her greetings from afar! That's worse than my cousin's temper..."
The Gu Yu was so frightened that it frantically waved its hands.
Xie Feng said, "Even Gu Xinglan seems gentle and intellectual in her presence!"
Gu Yu swallowed hard, muttering softly, "Thank goodness she's not teaching me, otherwise my little body would have been tortured to death..."
"What did you say?"
"Ah! I understand, Master! I will never complain again. Please restore my physical body!"
"..."
Xie Feng casually waved his hand, and God Grade energy flowed out, reshaping the Gu Yu's physical body.
Gu Yu crossed his arms, holding his now perfectly healthy body, so moved he almost cried. He asked, "Master, I've roughly understood each of the moves you taught me. Staying here isn't a solution. Don't you miss Xiangxiang? Why don't we go out?"
Xie Feng glanced at him. "I think you're the one trying to slack off."
Gu Yu chuckled and said, "No way! I just didn't want to take up everyone's time. This kind of grueling training... we can talk about it another time!"
Xie Feng shook his head. "Jade must be carved to become a useful object. Since you're so afraid of hardship and fatigue, you'd better demonstrate exceptional talent. Otherwise, I'll send you to that woman and let her teach you!"
"Woman! Is she beautiful?"
Upon hearing those two words, Gu Yu's eyes lit up instantly.
In terms of lust, he far surpassed his master.
Xie Feng said with a half-smile, "Of course! Absolutely stunning! The most beautiful woman in the universe!"
Gu Yu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He rubbed his hands together with a grin and said, "Such a good thing, Master, are you sure you want her to teach me? Oh my, you're so good to your disciple!"
Xie Feng nodded, suppressing a laugh, "Of course, you are my only personally taught disciple!"
Gu Yu couldn't wait to ask, "So what's the personality of this number one beauty in the universe like?"
Xie Feng said, "Compared to me, they're naturally much more irritable."
"Although Master is strict, I know that you are tough on the outside but gentle on the inside, especially towards those around you! That doesn't count! You should be compared to Senior Jing Yuan!"
You want to hear the truth?
"Um!"
"The truth is... in terms of temper, she's a hundred times more volatile than Senior Jing Yuan! Even I'm a little intimidated by her."
"!!!"
Gu Yu's eyes widened instantly, and his lips twitched. "Master, how come everyone you know is so fierce... But I'm still curious, what's the name of this number one beauty in the universe!"
Xie Feng said in a deep voice, " Long Cangxue."
"Just from her name, she sounds like a stunning beauty, but unfortunately, she has a bad temper... Actually, I'd really like to experience it!"
Gu Yu clenched his right fist, unexpectedly feeling a sense of longing.
Xie Feng shook his head. Too young, still too young!
Even so, he kept his beloved disciple's little wish in his heart, and he would definitely mention it whenever he saw Long Cangxue in the future!
Since Gu Yu said he had learned it, Xie Feng didn't force him anymore. He looked at the space where the energy had dissipated and wanted to leave.
"Master, I have a question. How do we get out? We're not going to have to shatter space, are we?"
Gu Yu looked around and tentatively threw a punch in a certain direction. There was a muffled thud, but the punch didn't even shake in the otherwise silent space.
Therefore, this approach is not feasible.
Xie Feng gazed around calmly, pondering a way out. He suddenly thought of the scroll. Since they had arrived at this space via a scroll, did that mean they could also leave using a scroll?
Xie Feng's mind stirred, and the scroll automatically appeared, hovering in mid-air.
Seeing this, Gu Yu smiled and said, "Master, you don't mean you want this scroll to lead the way, do you?"
Xie Feng said, "Of course not."
With that, he flicked his sleeve, unleashing a burst of powerful energy that shattered the scroll with a crack.
The instant the scroll shattered, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction. The space suddenly began to violently tremble, followed by large chunks collapsing and a blinding flash of light. Xie Feng and Gu Yu involuntarily closed their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, they had already appeared in the original volcano crater from the mysterious space!
Gu Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Master, we're out!"
Xie Feng nodded. "Let's go find Xiangxiang and the others."
They hadn't walked far when they encountered Imperial Evil Lord coming from another direction. The difference was that Imperial Evil Lord was accompanied by an old man.
The old man was dressed in gray and white clothes. He was short, with narrow eyes, rat-like teeth, and two long, thin beards that parted around his lips. His eyes darted around lewdly. His appearance was indescribable.
Gu Yu walked up to the old man and asked bluntly, "Old man, who are you?"
The old man was instantly enraged. He puffed out his beard and glared, saying, "Young man, you have no manners! You don't recognize me now that I've returned to human form?"
Gu Yu looked around, then blinked in surprise, "Holy crap, you're from the Nether Dao? That flying black stone?!"
The old man rolled his eyes. "What flying black stone? Can't it talk? If it can't, then shut up! After being sucked into that blue key, I arrived in a strange space, and then an energy rain fell, unexpectedly restoring my true form! Haha!"
Gu Yu's lips were still twitching. He hesitated, then thought for a moment, but still felt he had to get it off his chest. "Um, you should just turn into stone. You're quite scary like this."
Nether Dao was enraged. "What, are you discriminating against handsome older men?!"
Upon hearing this, all three people present fell silent, especially Xie Feng, who clearly remembered that the portrait of the Nether Dao that Ye Die had taken out back in Falling Snow City was exactly the same as the person in front of him.
Nether Dao also said that the painter had made him look ugly, but now that we see him, the painter is clearly a realist!
"Let's stop discussing this; looks are nothing compared to ability!"
Xie Feng stepped in to smooth things over.
This remark caught the attention of the Imperial Evil Lord and the Nether Dao Lord. They both stared at him intently and exclaimed in unison, "Holy crap, a god!"
Xie Feng sighed, "You two really have great chemistry..."
Nether Dao's hand, which was stroking his beard, froze. A storm raged within him. He stammered, "Thank you... thank you, brother! You're a god! I didn't... I didn't misperceive you, did I...?"
