Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Changqing was curious. “How did the expert help you with your Cross Tribulation?”

“It was nothing you can even imagine!” Yao Mengji stroke his beard as he sighed. “I’m guilty of how highly the expert thinks of me. I’ll have to serve him better to pay back my debt to him!”

Anyone could tell that Yao Mengji was showing off. After all, being saved by the expert was something to be proud of. This showed that he had already become important to the expert. How proud!

Gu Changqing’s face twitched slightly. “I’m asking, how did the expert help you?”

Yao Mengji made a mysterious face. “I can’t tell you, I can’t tell you. All you have to know is that it was through a way you can’t even imagine!”

Gu Changqing was almost choked to death by his arrogance! He glared at Yao Mengji with an unfriendly look. It seemed that this man had become very arrogant after passing his Cross Tribulation.

Gu Yuan said to him through the divine consciousness, “Grandson, no hurry. He just managed to bribe the expert earlier than we did. We still have plenty of time. I, your grandfather, have been around the Immortal Land for a long time. If I didn’t have skills, I wouldn’t be where I am today. We’ll become the expert’s best runners!”

The fact that he said such a thing to his grandson showed that Gu Yuan was a good boot-licker!

“Ha-ha! Do you even have a draft before you tell lies?”

An unfriendly voice rang in the air. The Firefinch Demon jumped out and looked down at Yao Mengji as if looking at an ant.

“A mere Cross Tribulated small ant’s so proud of himself. How funny! Gu Yuan, did you ask him to put on this act? You’ve put in quite some effort in sending me off to become someone’s pet! You even tried to make up lies about this man helping someone to Cross Tribulate? Don’t you find it funny?”

There was no way someone could manipulate the Cross Tribulation!

It was common sense!

Once someone manipulated the Cross Tribulation, both sides would have to endure the punishment of the tribulation. As result, the Cross Tribulation would become even more destructive! Nobody could do it even in the Immortal Land!

The Firefinch Demon wore an all-knowing look as it raised its head arrogantly.

Having the bloodline of the Phoenix, it was worshipped by tens of thousands of people over the past ten thousand years. What scene had it not seen before? This cheaply-made, self-acted production in an attempt to arouse its emotions was something the bird had seen one too many times!

This bunch of people spent so much effort trying to convince it to become some ‘expert’s pet? They even made up lies about how this so-called ‘expert’ helped this old man pass his Cross Tribulation? Their acting skills were not too bad after all!

Unfortunately, it saw through their act.

“You can’t tell? That’s because it’s impossible!” the Firefinch Demon stated.

“This bird...” Yao Mengji frowned as he noticed the Firefinch Demon.

With one look, he was shocked! His pupils dilated as a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“This...this is a Firefinch Demon?”

The legendary Firefinch Demon with the Phoenix bloodline! It was definitely one of the top demons in this Immortal Realm! It was very rare!

The Firefinch Demon scoffed coldly. “Ha-ha, what an act! Continue!”

Yao Mengji stared at Gu Changqing blankly. “You’re...you’re giving this Firefinch Demon to the expert?”

This time around, Gu Changqing was the one being arrogant. He said proudly, “This is my first visit. Of course, I’ll have to bring a meeting-gift. Last time, the expert said he wanted a flying demon as a pet. I don’t know if this Firefinch Demon is up to his standards. Sigh, I’m nervous!”

Yao Mengji was stunned again. “The expert said he wanted a flying demon?”

“Yeah, the hint was very obvious when he was at the Azure Ville. Why? You didn’t prepare one?”

Yao Mengji looked at Qin Manyun. “Manyun, is this true?”

Qin Manyun nodded. “This is true. However, the last time I came back, you were about to Cross Tribulate so I wasn’t able to tell you in time.”

“You’re so silly!” Yao Mengji’s face flushed red. He pointed his trembling finger at Qin Manyun and said, “What’s so important about my Cross Tribulation? It doesn’t matter if I die or not! Pleasing the expert’s the most important thing! How can you neglect the expert’s clue? You...you...you...pissed me off!”

Gu Changqing laughed. “Brother Meng, it’s okay if you don’t have a bird. Waste no time. I’m in a hurry to visit the expert!”

Yao Mengji frowned. He could not help asking bitterly, “Where did you get this Firefinch Demon from?”

“Who else could get it other than me?” Gu Yuan’s voice projected out from the pendant. It was somewhat ethereal as it gave off a wave of aura. It made Yao Mengji’s heart jump.

An Immortal?

Yao Mengji asked in disbelief, “You’re...the Gu Ancestor? You got in touch with the Immortal Land?”

Gu Changqing smiled and nodded.

No wonder they had a Firefinch Demon! They did make some effort to please the expert! What a bunch of boot-lickers!

Yao Mengji’s face was changing. Instantly, he turned back and walked into the deeper end of the Linxian Palace. “Wait for a moment!”

Quickly, he came to the ancestral hall of the Linxian Palace.

He bowed. Spat blood. Lit incense. Summoned.

“Ancestor, hurry up and show yourself! We’re relying on you to become the best boot-licker of the expert! The bunch from the Azure Ville is winning!” Yao Mengji mumbled. However, after the ancestry stone lit up for a while, it faded off again.

He failed again?

He bit his tongue and made up his mind. Again!

He bowed. Spat blood. Lit incense. Summoned.

“Ancestor, it’s time to fight our ancestors. Hurry up and show up!”

This time, the ancestry stone did not even glow.

Yao Mengji felt disheartened. His ancestor was offline at such a crucial time. How unreliable!

Even if the ancestor could not bring out a Firefinch Demon, a Firebird would be better than nothing!

He frowned with his face that had turned pale after spitting too much blood. He walked out of the ancestral hall hopelessly.

Gu Changqing laughed. “Brother Mengji, what’re you waiting for? Let’s go!”

Yao Mengji sighed and said, “Let’s go.”

This was such bad timing. He was missing out on such a good opportunity to please the expert.

What a miss! What a miss!

He did not want to think about it. He was going to cry!

Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun turned into orbs of light along with Gu Changqing. Soon, they had arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

Qin Manyun said, “The expert lives up there. To show our respect, we’ll have to walk up by foot.”

“Of course! Of course!” Gu Changqing nodded diligently. He reminded the Firefinch Demon, “You’ll have to present yourself well later on. Try your best to impress the expert.”

“Ha-ha!”

The Firefinch Demon scoffed coldly. It was watching them coldly by the side, watching the act put on by the three of them.

‘I have to admit that their acting skills aren’t bad at all. They managed to give the impression that an expert’s living in a hidden place. If I wasn’t as clever, I would’ve been fooled by them and even look forward to becoming a pet of this expert!

‘With so much effort put in, it seems that they really need me to be here! Let’s see how powerful this so-called expert is!’

Gu Changqing frowned. He always felt that this Firefinch Demon was unreliable.
