Chapter 574: Bait
"Azhen, do you want to go?" Jiang Yue asked while looking at his phone.
"Mmmmm." Yu Nianzhen immediately nodded.
He had long been curious about martial arts.
Since they had an opportunity, he wanted to watch the tournament to satisfy his curiosity.
"I also want to go." Jiang Yue admitted.
"It’s the twelfth and the tournament won’t take place until the twenty-fourth. We can take these few days to prepare."
"Okay."
In the next ten days, the two made some arrangements for their work and house.
When everything was ready, they quietly left Lijia and went to Jialan City.
From there, they took a train to another town, and then a taxi to the remote parking lot.
"Are you sure this is your destination?" The taxi driver couldn’t help but ask when he saw the parking lot.
"It’s here, thank you." Jiang Yue said and immediately paid the driver.
After that, the two found the entrance and smoothly entered the hidden world.
This time, the two didn’t plan to stay with the Qing family.
After all, Qing Rui was essentially a stranger.
No matter how friendly the person was, it made no sense to inconvenience him whenever they came to the hidden world.
Because of this, Jiang Yue contacted Gu Dong as soon as they entered the hidden world.
"He will be here in five minutes." He said.
"Good." Yu Nianzhen nodded while looking around.
"There are still two days before the tournament. Should we ask the kids or Qing Rui to show us around?"
"The kids? Our disguised appearance looks younger than them. Do you dare to call them kids?"
"Our appearance may look young but we are old monsters." Jiang Yue proudly said.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen smiled and subconsciously rubbed his lover’s hair.
"I can’t wait for these disguises to wear off."
"Have you missed my face?"
"Not just your face." Jiang Yue said and suggestively looked at his lover’s body.
Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen chuckled and leaned over to whisper into Jiang Yue’s ear.
"Let’s seclude ourselves when we return to the Cangxing world. We can spend a few decades in our little secret realm."
"That would be great." Jiang Yue said but sighed in helplessness before he continued.
"We probably can’t retreat for several hundred years."
"Don’t worry. We have Ao Tian, Xiao Lan, and many puppets. After we return, we will let them settle our people while we hide in our secret realm."
"Do you dare?" Jiang Yue rolled his eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen immediately understood what his partner meant.
However, he still smiled and nodded.
"Mother, grandfather, and the rest will already be cultivators by the time we arrive in the Cangxing world. They won’t need too much care."
"Hearing this, Jiang Yue nodded but his eyes soon turned solemn.
"Azhen, if we decide to migrate the martial artists, where should we settle them?"
"Not our Zhenyue archipelago." Yu Nianzhen immediately answered.
In his heart, the martial artists were neither his friends nor relatives.
Most importantly, the hidden world was a complete and functioning society.
If he and Jiang Yue allowed the martial artists to settle in the Zhenyue archipelago, power struggles and conflicts would soon arise.
After thinking about it, Yu Nianzhen didn’t even consider the idea of letting the people stay in his archipelago.
"I also think so." Jiang Yue nodded in agreement.
"If we take them back, we can find an island for them. If not an island, we can take them to the mainland and let them settle on their own."
"The mainland is the better option. They will be short of resources if they stay on an island. Most importantly, they don’t have the strength to deal with sea beasts." Yu Nianzhen said.
"I wonder how the Cangxing world is doing." Jiang Yue suddenly said, his voice filled with nostalgia.
"It’s now a mid-tier world and has sufficient resources to nurture thousands of talents. We will likely encounter many new heroes when we return to the Cangxing world."
"You think?"
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen nodded and was about to say something.
However, before he could speak, he saw three people walking towards them.
"Ancestor Gu is here. Let’s talk later."
"Good."
Soon after, the three people arrived in front of Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue.
"Swordswoman Gu, Master Jiang." Gu Dong greeted in a peppy voice.
"Divine Master Gu is still as energetic as ever." Jiang Yue said with a generous smile.
"Swordswoman Gu, Master Jiang, let me introduce my grandchildren." Gu Dong said and pointed at the two people standing behind him.
"This one is my grandson; his name is Gu Cheng." The old man said and the grandson immediately stepped up to greet the two.
"It’s my honour to meet swordswoman Gu and Master Gu." The young man said with an admiring look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen nodded and Jiang Yue smiled at the person.
Seeing this, Gu Dong was encouraged and hurriedly introduced his granddaughter.
"This one is my granddaughter; her name is Gu Feiyan."
"It’s my honour to meet the seniors." The girl said in a pleasant voice.
"The old man is blessed." Jiang Yue said and old man Gu laughed in happiness before he spoke.
"Master Jiang and swordswoman Yu are young. In the future, you will also have many children and grandchildren."
When they heard this, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen looked at each other with doting smiles.
"My wife and I are devoted to each other and the Tao. There will be no children and grandchildren in our future."
Hearing this, the old man was shocked.
In his opinion, descendants were extremely important.
If powerful martial artists didn’t leave descendants to inherit their legacy, wouldn’t their art die with them?
Thinking of this, Gu Dong couldn’t help but convince the two.
"In five hundred years, you will turn to loess. If you don’t have descendants, won’t your legacy be lost?" He said.
However, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen didn’t take the matter seriously.
After all, they were cultivators, not martial artists.
Compared to how long they had lived, five hundred years was nothing.
"Old Gu, isn’t your vision too limited? What is five hundred years for those in the Tao?" Jiang Yue asked with a teasing look in his eyes.
"You..." Gu Dong was again shocked.
At this time, he confirmed his previous suspicion.
When he first met the two, Gu Dong suspected they were visitors from another world.
In that case, he guessed they had a way to freely enter and leave Earth.
Now, hearing what Jiang Zhen said, Gu Dong was more certain of his guess.
At the same time, his eyes shone from excitement.
When he was young, Gu Dong was filled with vigour and ambition.
With his martial arts talents, he thought he could reach a higher peak than his most recent predecessors.
Unfortunately, reality was disappointing.
After he advanced to the divine master realm, Gu Dong entered a plateau.
Despite his hard work, his martial arts improved at an extremely slow rate.
In the end, his martial arts stopped at the peak of the divine master realm and no matter what he did, he couldn’t advance to the Taoist master realm.
’Do I also have a chance to advance to the Taoist Master realm?’ He wondered and looked at the two with a fanatic look in his eyes.
However, Gu Dong was still rational.
Although he was excited and urgently wanted to question the people, he knew he couldn’t eat hot tofu.
After forcibly suppressing his excitement, he took a deep breath and looked at the two with a solemn expression.
"If Master Jiang and swordswoman Yu don’t mind, I have prepared a villa for your use." He said.
Seeing the man’s forced composure, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen almost burst into laughter.
However, the two were not ordinary people.
After a moment of amusement, they agreed to Gu Dong’s arrangement.
"Thank you for your careful arrangement." Jiang Yue said.
"Let’s go quickly." Old Gu said and led the way.
Soon, five people arrived in front of a villa.
The villa was not the largest they had seen along the way but it was sizeable and looked new.
Most importantly, it was fully and exquisitely furnished.
"You can check to see if there is anything else you need. If there is, my grandchildren will help you prepare everything." Gu Dong offered and the two grandchildren eagerly nodded.
Unfortunately, Gu Cheng and Gu Feiyan didn’t witness Yu Yue’s swordsmanship.
However, in the past few months, they had not only heard the detailed descriptions but had also seen some videos.
After watching the videos, the two were convinced.
This time, their grandfather brought them to let them get in touch with the two masters.
Although neither Gu Cheng nor Gu Feiyan was a swordsman, it didn’t hurt to have a good relationship with a powerful couple.
"At the moment, my wife and I don’t need anything else. If we do, we won’t hesitate to ask." Jiang Yue said.
