The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Chapter 126 Young Man on White Horse Drunk in Spring Breeze 39

Baili Dongjun was completely defeated when he heard this. He shook his head and lowered his head, tears streaming down his face. He didn't dare look at Gu Chen while crying, but just kept calling him "Master". Seeing this, Gu Chen touched his head and said, "I still remember that when you first broke into this courtyard, I felt that we had a good relationship. Without a second thought, I accepted you as my apprentice. But who would have thought that you were actually Baili Luochen's grandson."

Baili Dongjun looked up at Gu Chen, seemingly recalling the original scene, upon hearing this. Mo Luyi watched the scene of separation and death below. Even though she knew this person would not die, she still felt a little hot in her eyes. This was the third world, and after all these years, she still couldn't bear to see such a scene.

Watching Gu Chen waving his hand to send Baili Dongjun to the bottom of the stone platform, Mo Luyi raised her hand and cast a spell on Baili Dongjun's eyes, then pulled Gu Chen into invisibility and quickly left Qiandong City.

Baili Dongjun continued to watch the scene from the original plot Mo Luyi had left him. Gu Chen stood up and said to the tree: "This is the Phoenix Tree, the national tree of Western Chu. The Phoenix cannot roost without the Wutong tree. Even if you are a Confucian immortal, without the land of Western Chu, you cannot keep this Phoenix." He sat down again and said to Baili Dongjun: "Dongjun, life is destined to be full of separations, and you will experience many such separations in your life. Goodbye, my disciple." Then he disappeared before him.

Baili Dongjun slumped to his knees with a thud, tears pouring out like a flood. He gazed in that direction, his face filled with grief, his body trembling uncontrollably. Then, as if all strength had vanished, he walked on his knees, arduously and slowly approaching the spot where the ancient dust had dissipated. With each small step, he let out a heartbreaking cry. His cries of "Master...", filled with deep emotion and pain, echoed in the air, bringing heartbreak and tears to the ears.

Meanwhile, in a quiet forest outside Qiandong City, Mo Luyi and Gu Chen finally stopped. Mo Luyi pulled a delicate little bottle from her bosom and handed it to Gu Chen, saying softly, "This bottle contains Disguise Pills, of which there are only three. Furthermore, each pill's effectiveness only lasts for three months. So, sir, be sure to pay attention to the time when using it and don't miss it."

Gu Chen took the bottle, his eyes filled with gratitude. He sincerely thanked Mo Luyi: "Although I don't understand why Miss Gu Nian risked her life to save me, no matter what, I will always remember this life-saving grace. Thank you, Miss!"

Mo Luyi nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face: "In that case, then you should live well. But don't let me down for traveling a long distance to save you. Well, let's say goodbye here, you should leave quickly to avoid any complications." Looking at this man who is only two years older than herself, but has a head full of white hair, it is really touching.

Gu Chen stared solemnly at the mysteriously glowing Disguise Pill in his hand, taking a deep breath before swallowing it. A mysterious force instantly flowed through his body, and his once handsome face began to subtly change.

First, his skin gradually became rough, then the lines of his facial features gradually hardened. After a while, he had completely transformed into a middle-aged man, with a thick beard growing on his face. He was a vivid reappearance of Gao Ming and Gao Liang in "My Fair Princess".

Mo Lvyi's beautiful eyes widened in surprise at the scene before she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She laughed so hard she was swaying back and forth, as charming and beautiful as a blossoming flower. Gu Chen, on the other hand, felt a little awkward. He subconsciously rubbed his prickly beard and looked up at the ecstatic Mo Lvyi. A sense of helplessness welled up in his heart. He had previously seen her as cold and gentle, but this was actually her true self. She did bear some resemblance to his young disciple, and she seemed about Dongjun's age. If only they could be together...

As he thought about it, he recalled the past. If he had been able to get married successfully back then, perhaps his children would have been as old as the girl in front of him. Thinking of this, Gu Chen shook his head gently, as if to get rid of these thoughts, then turned and walked away.

However, if Mo Luyi knew what he was thinking at this moment, she would tell him mercilessly: A girl's real age cannot be easily judged by the naked eye, especially for a woman like her who has embarked on the path of cultivating immortality. It is not difficult to stay young and have an ageless face. The appearance is often far from the actual age!

After saying goodbye to Mo Luyi, Gu Chen set out on his journey to the ancient capital of Western Chu alone. When he stepped into this ancient city full of historical vicissitudes, his mood became extremely complicated.

Gu Chen strolled slowly through the broad, slightly worn streets of the former capital of Western Chu. Everywhere he looked, he saw familiar sights. The quaint, elegant buildings, the winding alleys, and the bustling shops evoked a sense of nostalgia. Memories flooded back like a tide, and he seemed to see himself and his fellow apprentices fighting side by side to protect this city. Back then, they were filled with passion, willing to sacrifice anything to defend their homeland. However, time had passed, and now things had changed.

Before he knew it, Gu Chen had arrived at the gate of an ancient temple. He gently pushed open the heavy door, and with a creaking sound, a faint scent of incense filled his face. He walked steadily into the temple, only to see a massive Buddha statue towering in the center.

Gu Chen knelt devoutly before the Buddha statue, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes silently, and began to pray. He prayed to God to bless the world with peace and for the people to live and work in peace; he also prayed that he could let go of his obsessions and move on to the future.

After a long moment, Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He gazed deeply at the Buddha statue before him, a flicker of determination in his eyes. Then, he turned and left the temple, rejoining the bustling crowd.

Gu Chen continued to wander aimlessly through the city, taking in its unique atmosphere. Every street corner, every cobblestone pavement seemed to hold a hidden story. He listened to the hawkers' calls and admired the innocent smiles of the children, feeling as if all his worries had vanished.

Finally, Gu Chen arrived at the city gate. He paused, turned around, and once again cast a loving glance at the ancient capital of Western Chu, where he had spent countless wonderful years. The sun was setting, its afterglow shimmering on the city walls, draping the entire city in a golden veil. Gu Chen took a deep breath, then resolutely stepped out of the city gate, striding forward towards the future...

After seeing Gu Chen leave, Mo Luyi set off for Tianqi. She couldn't wait to see Li Changsheng's expression when he saw her. It was really exciting.
