Tian Ming was startled and turned around quickly to see Gu Xun in a long gown, looking at him with a smile.
"Uncle Gu!" Suddenly seeing a familiar elder, Tian Ming, who had experienced all kinds of torture on the ship these days, couldn't help but feel excited... It didn't seem to be accurate, but he shouted so excitedly that he almost shed tears.
Gu Xun looked Tianming up and down, nodded and commented:
"Reborn!"
"How do you feel about yourself now?"
Before he had time to complain or chat, he asked Gu Xun to ask a question. Tianming was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and replied with a smile:
"It feels... pretty good."
"Well... it's better than ever before. I feel like I'm very strong now."
"Hey, Uncle Gu, what do you think of my current strength?"
Tianming is quite curious about this now. He feels that Gu Xun should be able to give him the most accurate assessment of his current strength.
"Uh..." Gu Xun pursed his lips, thought for a moment and then replied, "How should I put it, it's quite complicated."
"Compared with you in the past, you can say that you have made significant progress, or you can say that there is not much difference."
"Is there a big difference?" Tianming looked down at himself in confusion and asked, "I think the change is quite big, Uncle Gu."
"Look, I never had the ability to climb such a tall tree before!"
Gu Xun spread his hands and explained, "Compared vertically with your past self, you have indeed made significant progress."
"Now you have advanced internal skills that are difficult for ordinary top masters to achieve. You have all the meridians connected, your body is strong, and your strength is directly increased by more than ten times."
"But when you compare it horizontally with the people around you, it's a little less interesting."
"Ku has only one internal strength, but he knows almost nothing about swordsmanship, no Qing Kung Fu, and very little actual combat experience."
"Leave aside for the time being young people of the same age as Shao Yu Shi Lan, Gao Jianli, Xue Nu, or these people from the Yin Yang family who you are more familiar with. You couldn't beat them before, but you still can't beat them now."
"As for those who are one level weaker than them, except for a few special ones, they should not be your opponents."
"But before, you were basically able to protect yourself against opponents of this level. The difference is not as obvious as your strength has improved."
"Uh... So is it stronger or not?" Tianming scratched his head in embarrassment, not quite understanding Gu Xun's big call.
Gu Xun smiled and patted his shoulder, and said concisely:
"Strong, but not enough for you."
"You have to know that you are now a giant of the Mo family. The enemies you have to face and the responsibilities you have to bear are far beyond ordinary people, and far beyond what a teenager like you should face and bear.
"
"For the Mohist giant, your strength is not enough!"
The explanation this time was intuitive enough, and Tianming basically understood it.
The joy of improving strength was swept away, and my heart suddenly became heavy.
Tianming has never thought about escaping the responsibility of being a Mohist giant, but... no one has ever told him so straightforwardly how difficult it is to sit in the position of being a Mohist giant, even though Gu Xun only talked about the basics.
Gu Xun saw Tianming's worries and patted him on the shoulder again:
"Don't think too much, you are not the only one in the Mo family, just take care of the present moment first."
"Ah, yes, yes, I still have to save people!" With Gu Xun's reminder, Tianming came back to his senses and remembered his true goal.
However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he first mentioned to Gu Xun the incident that he was too embarrassed to tell Concubine Yan before:
"Uncle Gu, Shao Yu and Shi Lan... Do you know Shi Lan? She is someone I met recently..."
Gu Xun raised his hand and interrupted him, "I know Shi Lan, and I also know what you want to say - let me save them, right?"
"Hey, Uncle Gu, you are so awesome, you know everything."
"The two of them are now trapped by Yun Zhongjun. You don't know, that Yun Zhongjun is so disgusting..."
Gu Xun raised his hand and was interrupted again, "I know very well about Yun Zhongjun, and I also know their current situation. I just came over there."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to them. You should worry about yourself first."
When Tianming heard this, he had no intention of taking care of himself and quickly asked about his friends:
"How are they two? Did they escape?"
"Well... I was still struggling when I left. It's almost time to come out now." Gu Xun replied.
Tianming didn't have any doubts about Gu Xun's words. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if it's okay! It's okay if it's okay."
"Then I'll go rescue...Hey, Uncle Gu, what did you mean by what you said earlier?" Only then did Tianming belatedly remember Gu Xun's reminder.
"It means going to the Toad Palace to save people, but it's not as simple as you think." Gu Xun also knew very well about Tianming's head that was not working at all, and explained patiently.
"Then..." Regarding Gu Xun's reminder, Tianming did not dare to ignore it like he did to Yan Fei. He hesitated, then rolled his eyes and said to Gu Xun with a smile, "Then Uncle Gu, please help me.
!”
Tianming's attitude towards Gu Xun was similar to that towards Gai Nie. He would not be too polite and would ask for help decisively when he needed help.
There is no shame in looking for elders!
Gu Xun didn’t think Tianming’s request was too much, but he still shrugged and refused:
"If I could help you with this matter, that child wouldn't be locked up in the Toad Palace at all."
"do you understand me?"
"You mean...you can't save people because of Uncle Gu's status as a national master?" Tianming tried to understand what Gu Xun meant.
Gu Xun nodded, "That's pretty much what it means."
"But... why? The status of a national master should be very high. How can these people from the Yin Yang family control you?"
Gu Xun couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and explained, "Of course the people of the Yin Yang family can't control me, but I can't ignore Ying Zheng's attitude."
"Look at this ship..." Gu Xun cast his eyes to the side and looked up. The majestic mirage was as deep as a mountain. Even if he lived here, he still couldn't get a full view of it. "This huge ship is like a city on the sea.
It took ten years to build the ship, with no calculation of manpower and material resources, and its only mission was to serve this trip to sea."
"Or it could be said that it serves Ying Zheng's wish to achieve immortality... Let's just call it ambition."
"The girl from Toad Palace is one of the key cores of this plan. Do you think Ying Zheng will allow anyone to sabotage this plan?"
Tianming shook his head blankly, "It's definitely not allowed..."
"No!" Tianming suddenly shook his head, adjusted his thoughts, and asked in confusion, "What does immortality have to do with a girl? Why would the daughter of a wealthy boss..."
