Chapter 850: A Visit
Gu Heng had just had this idea in his mind.
Just then, someone knocked on the courtyard gate again, and he immediately heard Old Master Yin Rufeng's urgent voice.
"Young Master Gu!"
Yin Rufeng, the patriarch of the Yin family in the desolate city, was someone Gu Heng was quite familiar with, but Yin Rufeng rarely visited him. Gu Heng would only occasionally go to him to discuss painting techniques and such...
There's nothing else to it, but Gu Heng mainly feels that he doesn't get along well with this kind of old man, and the old man still treats him with great respect. Gu Heng still can't quite stand this contrast.
It was not the first time someone had knocked on his gate in such a hurry, but it was certainly rare. Gu Heng then went to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yin Rufeng. Yin Rufeng didn't waste any time and directly led the girl behind him into the courtyard.
Gu Heng's eyes widened the moment he saw her.
Good guy!
Whatever he thought of came to pass; this girl was none other than Ning Hanyan!
She actually came all the way from the Demon Realm to the Xuan Tian Realm!
Gu Heng had only been away from the Demon Realm for less than two months. He had been planning to go back and visit, but Ning Hanyan had come to the Xuan Tian Realm first.
“Young Master Gu, this… young lady claims to know you.”
Yin Rufeng, standing next to Ning Hanyan, also felt immense pressure.
He had no idea who the girl was or where she came from, but her arrival was announced by Yin Xueling. The good granddaughter didn't explain what was going on, only saying that Young Master Gu had a "distinguished guest" who had come from afar.
He did receive this distinguished guest, who was not only wealthy but also very powerful; even Yin Xueling dared not neglect him!
Yin Rufeng was well aware that his current level was far from being up to his granddaughter's level. Given Yin Xueling's situation, he, an old man, dared not think too much about it.
"Ah, yes, yes, I know her!"
"Miss Hanyan, please come in and sit down!"
Gu Heng hurriedly welcomed Ning Hanyan into the courtyard, feeling both surprised and puzzled.
How did Ning Hanyan suddenly arrive in the Xuan Tian Realm?
Moreover, judging from her expression, she didn't seem relaxed; there was a hint of anxiety between her brows.
"Old Master Yin, would you like to have a cup of tea or something? I also have some wine." He didn't forget Yin Rufeng, who was leading Ning Hanyan the way. Yin Rufeng was still hesitating at the door, so Gu Heng simply invited him directly.
but.
Yin Rufeng still chose to refuse.
He knew that whatever the purpose of this "distinguished guest's" visit, it must be very important.
I don't have that much ability, so it's best not to find out what they're going to talk about next, otherwise I'll just cause trouble for myself.
"No, no, I have many family matters to attend to and cannot spare the time. I have no choice but to decline your kind invitation, Young Master Gu."
"But if there is an opportunity next time, I will certainly not refuse Young Master Gu's kind offer!"
Yin Rufeng tactfully took her leave, reminding Gu Heng not to hesitate to ask if he needed anything before she left. Gu Heng smiled and agreed, then closed the courtyard gate after watching Yin Rufeng leave.
"Miss Hanyan, please have a seat. I'll go brew you some tea." "Um, tea isn't necessary..."
She said.
Ning Hanyan has a lot of important news to share, and drinking tea is the least of her concerns.
"No, no, it's not like that. It's a rare treat for you to visit my home. I don't have much to offer, but you can't be without tea!"
Gu Heng simply refused and went straight into the house to brew a pot of hot tea, after all, he had never expected such an unexpected person to come to visit him today.
It's a pity Xiaobai isn't here, otherwise there would always be cut fruit and brewed tea in the house.
With Xiaobai gone, Gu Heng realized that a very important part of his life was missing!
He was already wondering when Xiaobai would be back...
"Young Master Gu lives here..."
“A true hermit lives in seclusion; that is indeed extraordinary.” Ning Hanyan sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. She had been looking around the small courtyard since she came in.
To be honest, she had been wondering what Gu Heng's residence in the Xuan Tian Realm would be like. She had thought it would be a place like a fairyland, but after seeing it with her own eyes today, Ning Hanyan only felt that it was "ordinary".
This environment is truly exceptionally ordinary. From the outside, it would be impossible to detect that an existence with unimaginable power resides within!
However, Ning Hanyan could spot several unusual "traces" in the courtyard after just one look.
For example, there is a lingering aura of dragons in this courtyard, as well as a short, fruit-bearing white tree and another lush green vine about two people tall...
I don't know what kind of tree that white tree with its misty branches is, but I feel that there is a strange power concentrated in its fruit.
As for the green vine, Ning Hanyan instinctively sensed a strong danger!
None of them are ordinary things.
Ning Hanyan's journey has been far from easy.
Despite her Demon Emperor cultivation, traversing the endless void to travel was quite exhausting. Moreover, after arriving in the Xuan Tian Realm, she realized that Mr. Gu had never told her where he lived in the Xuan Tian Realm!
This immediately put Ning Hanyan in a difficult position.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Although Ning Hanyan could not find Gu Heng, she easily found Jue Tian Ge.
This mysterious force entrenched in the Xuan Tian Realm undoubtedly controls the entire region. Perhaps they know where Gu Heng is. Although it's just speculation, Ning Hanyan has no better way to deal with it.
It worked perfectly on the first try!
The leader of the Absolute Heaven Pavilion, the Empress of Central Continent, seemed to know her name... and everything that followed went smoothly. That's how it is, but it wasn't easy.
The empress, in particular, harbored a high degree of wariness and hostility towards her. Ning Hanyan didn't know why this was the case, but in order to gain the empress's trust, and given the urgency of the situation, Ning Hanyan revealed her entire purpose.
originally.
Ning Hanyan only intended to tell Gu Heng about what happened in the Demon Realm. She had come out secretly to deliver the message, fearing that if others who did not know the details found out, there would be unpredictable consequences.
Fortunately, the Empress of Zhongzhou did not make things difficult for her, and she eventually found Gu Heng.
"Miss Hanyan, was the journey too difficult?"
Gu Heng came out of the house carrying a pot of tea. He poured her a cup and asked with concern, "Are the people in the Demon Realm all doing well? Actually, I was just about to go back to the Demon Realm to see you all. It's not that I forgot, it's just that I've been a bit busy lately..."
Ning Hanyan pursed her lips slightly, looked at Gu Heng with a complicated expression, and whispered, "Young Master Gu, something has happened in the Demon Realm."
"what?"
Gu Heng's heart tightened.
He had already thought of something while he was making tea. After all, Ning Hanyan went to so much trouble to come find him, it couldn't be because she missed him too much, right?
Something must have happened, which is why she rushed over.
Moreover, I had never told her about the desolate city, so it must have been very difficult for Ning Hanyan to find this place.
Someone is trying to cause you trouble!
Without hesitation, Ning Hanyan immediately told Gu Heng everything that had happened in the Demon Realm.
