The middle-aged Taoist nun's words were not polite, which made Zhuang Fan, who invited Gu Chen over, very embarrassed.
Gu Chen glanced at the others. They were all silent, obviously agreeing with Taoist Aunt Ma's idea.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, since Mr. Gu is not popular, we should all go our separate ways."
Gu Chen smiled and simply decided to give up traveling with this group of people.
He didn't bother to prove his strength to this group of people because he didn't agree with each other. He was quite comfortable acting alone.
After saying that, he turned around and left without any regrets. Zhuang Fan looked at his back and hesitated to speak. "This..."
He wanted to keep Gu Chen, but seeing that others didn't agree, he finally just sighed and watched his back gradually disappear into the sky.
"Fellow Taoist Ma, why is this necessary?" After Gu Chen completely disappeared, he said to the middle-aged Taoist nun Mi Tai.
"Hmph, I just spoke to provoke him. I wanted to see how strong he was. Who would have thought that he would just leave. It shows that his strength is very ordinary."
Taoist Aunt Ma, on the other hand, looked indifferent, "He was wise enough to leave on his own initiative."
The rest of the people nodded one after another. Taoist Aunt Ma was so irritated with each other just now, but the other party didn't even show any signs of it. It was obvious that he knew that he was not strong enough and left because of his interest. This saved them a lot of trouble.
"That's it, let's leave it as it is, let's go."
Zhuang Fan was also a little disappointed that Gu Chen left without fighting for it, and his original idea of helping and supporting him faded away.
The rest of them were his friends for many years. He would not get along with someone he had just met for a few days, so he quickly put the matter aside.
"Squeak!"
Gu Chen flew through the air and only hit the road. On the road, the white ape was a little angry.
The Taoist nun made it very unhappy before. It didn't understand why Gu Chen ignored her and didn't want to prove her strength before leaving.
"Do you care if an ant bumps into your foot?"
Facing questions, Gu Chen just smiled lightly.
Although those people have also reached the realm of gods and humans, with Gu Chen's current vision, he doesn't look down on them, and he doesn't want to take action for this.
This is a difference in spiritual realm. Although Gu Chen, who had been forced to grow up, had returned to the heavenly realm, he had already experienced a higher realm, and his mentality had undergone some changes.
The white ape nodded in understanding. He quickly forgot about it and took out the pastry he carried with him and ate it with relish.
Half a day later, Gu Chen had arrived outside Penglai Mountain.
As the famous fairy mountain of Penglai Fairy Island, the location of Penglai Mountain can be known as soon as you inquire about it.
The fairy mountain stands on the island directly in front, with colorful clouds rising and smoke lingering.
"clang--"
The sound of bells came from far away from the ashram on the mountain, and the sound seemed to be able to cleanse the soul.
These days are the feast of the sea and sky, and hundreds of thousands of monks have gathered on Penglai Mountain, many of whom are prominent figures.
At the ferry entering the island, disciples from Penglai Mountain were guarding there, checking every guest who entered.
Gu Chen stepped forward and handed over his invitation.
"May I ask your surname?" the disciple asked politely.
There are two types of invitations sent out by Penglai Mountain. One is signed and is usually sent to prestigious practicing sects. The other is unsigned and has low gold content and can be easily obtained by many people.
Even though he didn't sign his name, he still needed to register when entering the island, so he asked politely.
"My surname is Gu Mingchen."
Gu Chen said truthfully. When the disciple heard this, his expression was slightly stern.
"The surname is Gu..."
He exchanged a few glances with the fellow apprentices next to him, and then became respectful.
"Welcome to Senior Gu, please come this way."
He actually put down his work and took the initiative to take Gu Chen to the island and climb mountains.
Gu Chen didn't think much about it, just thinking that this was the etiquette here.
The disciples of Penglai Mountain politely led Gu Chen up the mountain and into the open-air dojo.
At this time, a large number of monks had gathered here, and the flowing water mats were filled.
He led Gu Chen through the huge dojo until he came to a location very close to an attic.
Gu Chen raised his head and saw the three characters "Penglai Pavilion" written on the attic. The brushwork was made with iron hooks and silver strokes. It was vigorous and powerful. It was obvious that the writer was extraordinary.
"Senior Gu, please sit down."
The disciple of Penglai Mountain said politely, Gu Chen nodded and sat down at this table.
The moment Gu Chen sat down, many monks in the dojo looked at him curiously and started talking about him.
"That young talent from a powerful family can actually sit close to Penglai Pavilion. You must know that the person sitting next to him is a true disciple of Taihao Immortal Sect!"
"Not only the Taihao Immortal Sect, the Guiyuan Immortal Sect, but also the true inheritance of Guanghan Palace are here!"
Gu Chen noticed that many people were staring at him, and his brows couldn't help but frown. He had realized that something was wrong.
At the moment, he is just an unknown overseas casual cultivator. How could he be given such a front position?
He wanted to call back the disciple from Penglai Mountain, but he had already left.
"Hello, fellow Daoist Gu, I am Wang Qian of Taihao Immortal Sect."
Sitting next to Gu Chen, a young man with a beautiful face took the initiative to communicate with him in a friendly tone.
"Hello." Gu Chen just nodded.
"I didn't expect that people from the Review clan would come to participate in the Haitian Feast. I asked Gu Ziyan some time ago and she said that most of her clan is not interested in the rewards from the Penglai Island Master."
A bright-eyed girl from Guanghan Palace looked at Gu Chen with a smile. "I don't know the full name of fellow Taoist Gu yet."
After she asked, everyone at the table looked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was thoughtful and soon realized that these people had all misunderstood, and even the Penglai Mountain disciples probably misunderstood!
He once heard Zhuang Fan say that the surname Gu was extremely rare in the Fairy Continent and almost belonged to the Gu clan.
I am afraid that it was for this reason that the disciple from Penglai Mountain mistakenly thought that he was a distinguished guest from the Gu clan.
And everyone at the same table heard what the disciple called them just now, so they immediately recognized that they were from the Gu clan!
Gu Chen sighed in his heart. Although he was indeed from the Gu clan, he was not what these people thought.
Gu Chen silently recited the names of the sects to which these people belonged, and realized how extraordinary they were.
According to Grandpa, the most powerful force on the Fairy Continent is the Thirteen Fairy Sects.
In the Fairy Continent, sects that can be called "immortal" are extremely rare. Only those who have had immortal-level masters in their ancestors are qualified to be called immortal sects.
It is said that the gods came to Kunlun Continent 30,000 years ago, and it was the ancestors of the Gu family who joined forces with the immortals of the Thirteen Immortals Sect to eliminate the gods together.
The Thirteen Immortal Sect and the Gu family are both the top forces in the Fairy Continent, and these people here are the true disciples of the Thirteen Immortal Sect.
