Chapter 662 - 203: The Saint Bows
Chapter 203 [Saint’s Salutation] (6600)
Not an "ordinary" Spiritual Immortal Beast?
Chen Yan looked at Gu Jinjia.
Uncle, do you realize what you’re saying?
Can a Spiritual Immortal Beast be described with the word "ordinary"?
Gu Jinjia lowered his voice: "Although I don’t know much, I can be sure that the origins of the White Beast are absolutely extraordinary!"
Chen Yan remained silent, just looking at Gu Jinjia, waiting for him to continue.
"Many years ago, there was a fierce battle between Snow Cliff Pass and the Fierce Beast Race. That battle was intense. After the battle, the Immortal Platform invited a Venerable Saint to come for an inspection.
This Venerable had ties with our Gu Family, so as the eldest son of the Gu Family and the local bully at Snow Cliff Pass, I naturally accompanied and served the Venerable Saint.
One night, the Venerable released Supreme Mana to repair the war-damaged defensive Array.
That night, the howl of the White Beast came from the snowy field outside, as if it sensed the Venerable Saint’s mana and responded with such movement.
I was right beside the Venerable at that time, and he asked me what that noise was—it was already well-known among the military and Loose Cultivators at Snow Cliff Pass, so I reported the matter of the White Beast to the Venerable, and then..."
At this point, Gu Jinjia’s expression became very strange.
"Then what?" Chen Yan asked.
"The Venerable was silent for a long time, seemingly in thought. Later, the Lord Venerable looked toward the direction of the White Beast’s howling from outside the pass and actually straightened his clothing and seriously made three salutations in that direction!"
Chen Yan’s expression also became remarkable.
Letting a Saint salute?
"Did... did the Venerable say anything about the White Beast’s origins?" Chen Yan quickly asked, "For a Venerable Saint to salute, the Venerable must know something! Right! And after telling the Saint about the White Beast’s legend at Snow Cliff Pass, the Venerable also thought for a while! Surely he was recalling something!"
"Don’t ask, the Saint didn’t tell me." Gu Jinjia shook his head: "I already guessed all these things at that time.
But what kind of status does a Venerable Saint have! What kind of status do I have?
If you are not a Venerable, you are all ants!
Even though our Gu Family is a prestigious family, and our ancestors were also Venerable Saints—but once you enter the Venerable rank, you are among the Saints, words follow the law, and align with the Heavenly Dao!
It’s only the Saints who instruct, who dares to question a Saint?
Who dares to ask about something a Saint doesn’t mention? Anyway, I didn’t dare."
Chen Yan looked at Gu Jinjia, shaking his head: "If someone else said this, I’d believe it, but from you, Gu Jinjia, I don’t believe it! You’re someone with the guts to do anything, being beside a Saint wouldn’t make you a timid chicken."
Gu Jinjia was stunned, then gave an embarrassed smile, whispering: "Alright... can’t hide it from you, I actually did ask at that time."
"And the answer?" Chen Yan immediately became excited.
"The answer is, the Saint slapped me and called me ’nosy’." Gu Jinjia sighed: "Just because the Saint rated me ’nosy’, when the elders in the family found out, they judged me as acting frivolously, offending the royal grace, being the eldest son, with such character, unfit for great duties...
So they threw me into the Gu Family’s forbidden area, kept me there for three months, saying it was to temper my temperament."
Chen Yan pondered: "So, Big White surely has some extraordinary origins, enough to make a Venerable Saint salute it..."
Gu Jinjia shook his head: "That’s all I know. More than that probably involves the level of the Saints, which is not something cultivators at our current Realm can pry into."
Saying this, his gaze shifted, speaking slowly: "That’s why I felt that bringing it into Snow Cliff Pass might not be a good idea."
Chen Yan remained silent.
"Not to mention anything else, I heard Luo Shang, that guy, came to our Brotherhood looking for you just for the White Beast, right?" Gu Jinjia sneered: "That guy is extreme in thought, overly obsessed, and will stop at nothing, he has long coveted the White Beast in the wild, and has even tried to capture it, but failed.
Later, I had people from the Commander’s Mansion warn him, so he restrained himself and didn’t dare target the White Beast anymore."
Chen Yan looked at Gu Jinjia: "If he targets the White Beast, why did you have someone warn him?"
"I naturally didn’t want him to benefit." Gu Jinjia said coldly.
"Because... of those past betrayals and treacheries among brothers?" Chen Yan was also somewhat curious.
Mainly because...
Gu Jinjia is not an ordinary Loose Cultivator.
He is the eldest son of the Domain Realm powerhouse, the Gu Family!
With his status, after founding the Brotherhood, being the leader of the Brotherhood, why didn’t Gu Jinjia take action to deal with Luo Shang’s betrayal of his brothers?
Although Baldie 39 said it was because Luo Shang joined the Benlei Riders and got an official status, making it hard to execute him, otherwise it would be judged as rebellion.
But, Chen Yan was not a naive little white.
Regardless of the world, or the Domain Realm. The so-called rules are merely laws to constrain most ordinary people, but for those truly standing at the top, they are seldom bound by these rules.
Chen Yan didn’t believe that the eldest son of the Domain Realm giant, the Gu Family, with Saints and Venerables in the family!
With such status, would Gu Jinjia really be sentenced for killing a mere officer of the Benlei Riders (after the incident, when Luo Shang just joined the Benlei Riders, he wasn’t yet the Hundred Riders General)?
