After Favorability Is Maxed Chapter 39

Truly Fragrant

Liu Yuan was not trying to claim kinship.

Gu Siyin was Gu Feidao's daughter at an old age. Although her older brothers and sisters already had children who were older than her, her seniority in Chiyu Villa was still very high.

Gu Chang's biological father was Gu Feidao's eldest son, Gu Shisong, so Gu Siyin was also Gu Chang's aunt, and Liu Yuan could naturally call himself his Uncle.

Since Gu Feidao had already entrusted him to Liu Yuan, it did not matter if Liu Yuan talked about it.

Liu Yuan explained the seniority clearly and said, “Come, call me Uncle.”

Gu Chang's little brain was a little confused. He did not understand why he had an Uncle. He did not know how to respond for a moment, so he could only mumble, “In any case, I'm not going to the Chiyu Villa.”

“What?” Liu Yuan said flatly, “You say this, but it doesn't count.”

In the original plot, Gu Chang had gone to the villa. It was likely that Lady Wan had sensed the danger and wanted to send Gu Chang away from her.

Gu Chang made a face at him and stopped talking.

Ding Luan laughed kindly. “I would like to let Chang'er enter the Jade Mirage Sect. However, I'm already a dead man in the eyes of the world. If I let him go back with the name of my successor, I'm afraid he'll be involved in the dispute for power again.”

“Indeed,” Liu Yuan agreed.

In the entire game, the sect with the most internal strife was definitely the Jade Mirage Sect.

Although it was one of the top sects in the Righteous Path, there were many internal factions and conflicts. In the end, there was even civil war and it was split into two sects.

That sect was really a mess.

Liu Yuan pretended to be deep in thought and said, “I've already told Senior about my origins. Can Senior also tell me what that black mist is? It actually looked like the eight-armed demon that the demonic sect worships.”

Ding Huan laughed and said frankly, “My Young Friend, you're observant. That's indeed the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon. I've been tormented by it for nearly 700 years, and now I'm like a lamp without oil, unable to suppress it in the end. It just so happened that Chang'er accidentally barged into the cave, so I wanted to pass on my inheritance to him. I didn't expect that this damned demon would actually have ideas about this child and want to change hosts so that he can see the light of day again.”

In that case, the original plot point should be here.

If Liu Yuan had not come in to stop them, this might have been the opportunity for Gu Chang to be parasitized…

Liu Yuan could not help but secretly rejoice and said, “I see. It seems that I have come at the right time. It is my honor to help Senior suppress the Heavenly Demon.”

Ding Huan sighed. “Not at all. I have to thank you, Young Friend. Your arrow's grace actually made me feel a hint of enlightenment. It wasn't confined to the weapon itself. The spirit was in the form, and it was wonderful.”

Huh? Is this old man possessed by Xie Qian?

Liu Yuan cursed in his heart. Why do all these Seniors like to praise others? Aren't they afraid of stroking people's pride? if this goes on, I won't be able to… I won't be able to refuse.

If you want to praise me, then praise more.

“It's just a small achievement, I don't dare to embarrass myself in front of Senior,” Liu Yuan replied modestly.

“It's not true,” Gu Chang said softly.

Liu Yuan, “&*&%￥(vulgarities)…”

No wonder he became the Boss. Speaking of which, when you were the Boss, I couldn't beat your dungeon alone, but now, I can beat you, alright?

Liu Yuan calmed himself down and revealed a kind smile. “Senior, I think I'd better take Chang'er back home first. His mother has been waiting for him for a long time. When I arrived, I even heard his mother say that he was too wild and should be taught a lesson.”

“My mother would never say that about me,” Gu Chang pouted.

Thinking about it, it would be strange if such an unreasonable and perverse mother could raise an obedient baby.

Of course, it was more normal for the devilish child to be the king of destruction.

Liu Yuan's expression was subtle. “That's very unfortunate. Your mother really said this… Senior, I'll take him down the mountain first. You can rest well.”

Ding Luan was indeed unable to move. Suppressing the Heavenly Demon had exhausted all his strength. He looked at Gu Chang and suddenly said, “Young Friend, please wait.”

Liu Yuan turned around and asked, “Is there anything else, senior?”

Ding Luan let out a long breath, as if he had made up her mind. “Young Friend, you said you're a loose cultivator, right?”

“Yes, I belong to no sect.” Liu Yuan nodded.

“I have no other choice.” Ding Luan said in a low voice as he looked at Liu Yuan, “I wanted to pass on my legacy to Chang ‘er, but he's still young. If there's no one to guide him, there's a high chance he'll go astray…”

Liu Yuan was a little annoyed… Could it be that you're possessed by Gu Feidao now?

“So?” Liu Yuan asked carefully.

Ding Huan paused, his eyes serious. “Although I've been away from the world for hundreds of years, I'm confident that my ability to judge people has not deteriorated. Young Friend's character is not bad, and you're close to Chang'er. What's more, you've cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age without any sect. You're obviously talented.”

“And?” Liu Yuan's eyes twitched.

“I can teach you everything I know,” Ding Luan said seriously. “But I hope you can take Chang'er as your disciple and teach him.”

“No, this…”

Ding Luan said, ” I understand that this may be a little difficult for you, Young Friend. However, the Orthodox inheritance of the Jade Mirage Sect is not a bad thing for you. I will disappear from the world in a few days. Master and disciple are just empty titles. If you are not willing, I will not force you.”

Liu Yuan shook his head. “It's me who took advantage of you. It's just that you're so careless… Uh, I mean…”

Ding Luan smiled. “I know what you mean, but I don't have long to live. I have no other choice… I'll reach the end of my life in seven days at most, and this is the only way. If you don't believe me, I can make a tribulation oath with Heaven and Earth as proof.”

Liu Yuan found it strange.

However, he knew that Ding Luan was telling the truth. If not for that, he would not have taught Gu Chang everything he had learned.

Gu Chang was even more confused. He suddenly had an Uncle, and his Uncle seemed to have become his Master.

However, Liu Yuan's brilliant arrow also left a deep impression on him. Most children were visual animals. Although Ding Luan had given him some advice, it was obvious that Liu Yuan was more powerful.

Uncle becoming Master… This seemed to be possible!

Liu Yuan was very hesitant. He was already developing a set of skill trees, but he was a player… All players were greedy, alright? As long as he could put skill points on it, he could master it easily.

The main point was that the skills could be changed independently without mixing with each other.

Liu Yuan had a deep understanding of this point. He himself was compatible with both close-combat and long-range skills, and some people were even compatible with the skills of different sects.

As long as he practiced both of them, other than the fact that he would be a little tired from doing missions, it would be similar to taking a second major in college.

It was a necessary ability to go undercover in other sects.

Liu Yuan suspected Ding Luan was willing to hand over his inheritance because he had no sect.

This was because not belonging to any sect meant that one's cultivation base was not systematic, and there was a high probability that it could be changed.

There was no harm in it anyway, so he would at least ask for a little…

However, if Gu Chang followed Liu Yuan, the danger factor would actually increase instead of decrease. Those characters who had high favorability might be looking all over the world for ‘Junxuan'. Who knew what the consequences would be?

Liu Yuan was conflicted. After thinking about it again and again, he suddenly remembered that he still had a conquered wifey in the Jade Mirage Sect.

Moreover, it was a very rare case of tolerance.

She was virtuous, generous, and not jealous.

…

“From today onwards, I'm your Master.”

“…”

Little Gu looked at Liu Yuan's serious expression and felt that something was not right. Why did his Uncle's attitude suddenly change?
