Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 841: Am I Gu Jin?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao was shocked at the chef’s words.

The way the chef spoke sounded as if she had known who he was for a long time.

He hadn’t used Gu Jin’s name even once in the West.

How could           figure this out?

“I don’t understand what you mean,” Jiang Hao said.

Regardless, he couldn’t let her misunderstanding continue.

Bi Zhu sat there quietly. Even an Immortal Ascension Platform cultivator wasn’t given this much respect.

If it were Hong Yuye, it would make sense.

But judging by the chef’s words, she meant him.

In her eyes, he was a senior.

“Senior, do you really not remember me?” the chef asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

He didn’t even know if the chef had the right person.

“I’m Liu Ying. Senior, do you really not remember me?” the chef asked. “Perhaps you’ve mistaken me for someone else,” Jiang Hao said.

“Is that so?” Liu Ying seemed somewhat disappointed.

After that, Liu Ying said, “There has been some chaos in the aura of the western region. I can’t see much, but the Sea Sky Forest is out of control. Whether it’s stopped or not is meaningless, but I know the specific location. However, even now, I don’t know what the source is. I always thought that this chaos would bring about your arrival. I now know that the western region will be fine.”

‘What did you see?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

He himself didn’t know what the impact would be.

Moreover, he had no intention of getting involved with the Sea Sky Forest.

The difference in strength was too great.

“I haven’t seen anything,” Liu Ying said.

“Then, why do you think my arrival will help the West?” Jiang Hao asked.

He felt that the chef was contradicting herself.

“What else would it be?” Liu Ying said. “A person’s name casts a shadow on the tree. Your name already represents everything. Countless years ago, you alone suppressed the West. You held up a piece of sky that belonged to you. Even the Clear Sky School and the Mountain Sea Sword Sect have to bow to you. Isn’t that enough reassurance?

Jiang Hao was shocked. When did he become so powerful?

He felt that the chef had definitely mistaken him for someone else. But he was curious just who she thought he was.

“Then, who am I?”

“Ruling all things to their end… Forcing them and their leaders into the sea of nothingness. You heavily injured the Fallen Immortal Clan and sent them into hiding. You even subdued the Corpse Clan and prevented them from manipulating others. You are the great senior of the Astronomical Academy. You’re the towering existence of the West and the most powerful under the heavens. Your name is… Gu Jin,” Liu Ying said seriously.

Jiang Hao was stunned. Bi Zhu was horrified.

‘Gu Jin?!’

Was this really because of the Ancient and Modern Book in her hands?

She felt like the book had made it happen.

She had read the book. It described things that the chef had said in exact detail. She lowered her head and ate her noodles.

Her luck seemed to have worsened. Unfortunately, she had met the main character of that book.

From the chef’s reaction, she understood that she was nothing but ordinary when compared to these two people.

The West was really frightening. This place wasn’t meant for normal people.

In the South, she hadn’t faced something like this. It was much safer in the South.

Jiang Hao was also surprised. He hadn’t told anyone his name was Gu Jin, so how had recognized him?

The only possibility was the name imprinted on the palm of his hand.

Could this name be sensed by others?

Could it have such an impact on the West?

Gu Jin was truly extraordinary.

It was no wonder he had ventured to the birthplace of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. He was still alive.

“Why do you think I am Gu Jin?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.

The chef was so firm in her words that denying it was pointless.

“Because only you can bring such a huge change in the aura in the West,” the chef said seriously.

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

He suddenly remembered the words on the last page of the Ancient and Modern Book.

“When we meet again, I am myself and not myself at the same time.”

The book was still with Bi Zhu. If he took it back, wouldn’t people from the academy question it?

Wouldn’t they think he was actually Gu Jin?

Jiang Hao was unsure.

“How much for the noodles?” Jiang Hao didn’t say much else and intended to settle the bill.

The chef didn’t insist and asked for ten spirit stones.

Jiang Hao paid and got up to leave.

“Senior,” said the chef as she stopped him from leaving, “Perhaps your situation is not ideal right now, and you want to avoid all this… But the aura of the West is like a vortex, and you have a significant impact on it. The matter of the Sea Sky Forest is also similar. If you intend to deal with it, the two sides are destined to meet. Please be very careful…’

Jiang Hao nodded. He then turned and walked away with Hong Yuye.

After the two left, the chef returned to her previous indifferent self. When Bi Zhu looked at her, she saw a quiet, unmoved woman.

“Senior, what’s going on?” Bi Zhu asked.

“You are also in the vortex of the West,” Liu Ying said.

“Why?” Bi Zhu found it hard to believe. “I’m just an ordinary young woman.”

“You carry the Ancient and Modern Book with you. Although the book is not the main cause, it has a connection with whatever you are going through.” Liu Ying looked at Bi Zhu. “Did you see something strange lately?”

The chef sat down and waited for Bi Zhu to answer.

“Something strange?” Bi Zhu thought for a moment and shook her head. “I haven’t seen anything. I’ve been cautious even in the South. I avoided danger as much as possible. The most dangerous thing was probably getting close to the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. And… I don’t think I’ve offended anyone.”

“Surely, you have seen something. Some existence is secretly watching you but doesn’t want you to die. So, when it sensed that you reached the West and sensed that you had the Ancient and Modern Book, it made a wrong judgment. It believes you can withstand an unparalleled aura. That’s why your state has become… abnormal. Whatever you do, you will have to return. All blessings bestowed come with a price,” Liu Ying said patiently.

“Senior, how can I break free from this aura? And why am I involved? Is it just because of a book?” Bi Zhu furrowed her brows. “What was I supposed to see?”

“It’s probably because of the person behind you. He may also have a place in the West. That’s why you were involved unknowingly,” Liu Ying said.

“So, he gave me this aura like a gift? Clearly, he’s the one who made me like this…” Bi Zhu looked distressed.

‘Is this how the powerful individuals harassed the weak?’ Bi Zhu could find no rhyme or reason for this.

“There’s been a lot going on in the West recently, and you might not be without hope. Moreover, with the arrival of Senior Gu Jin, your chances of survival are high. As for breaking free from the aura, it’s probably impossible unless you can convince the person behind you. But… it seems you don’t even know who that person is,” Liu Ying said..
