Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1429: Guu Lianxing’s Gratitude

The Heavenly Star Mansion Master stared directly at Xiao Yi.

The surge of starlight caused Xiao Yi’s eyes a painful sting.

Boom...

Similarly, a surge of starlight radiated from Xiao Yi, counteracting the dazzling starlight that had struck him.

"What is the meaning of this, Heavenly Star Mansion Master?" Xiao Yi’s expression turned slightly cold.

"Ah, Xiao Yi, the little thief, playing ignorant?" The middle-aged man earlier shouted angrily, intending to strike again.

"Great Elder, hold." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master softly commanded.

Unlike Gongsun Huowu’s earlier gentle command.

The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s soft command immediately halted the middle-aged man’s actions.

Clearly, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master held absolute authority.

The Heavenly Star Mansion Master was not only the master of the mansion but also the strongest within the Heavenly Star Mansion, unmatched in authority.

"Great Elder, Miss Lianxing has explained the situation to me; it was merely a misunderstanding." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master chuckled softly.

To speak of it, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master was also a middle-aged man.

However, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master was evidently more charismatic, possessing an aura that transcended that of the Great Elder.

"Since it’s merely a misunderstanding, I shall not disturb the Mansion Master further. Farewell." The Great Elder bowed and turned to leave.

The elders watched the Great Elder but did not follow him.

"Xiao Yixiao, please." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master smiled.

Xiao Yi nodded and entered the main hall.

...

Inside the main hall, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master was seated at the main position.

Xiao Yi, was seated to the side.

The elders were seated along the sides.

The elders showed slight displeasure but said nothing.

At this moment, Guu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu entered with smiles.

"Lianxing, aren’t you going to thank Xiao Yixiao for saving your life?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master smiled.

"Yes, Father." Guu Lianxing gracefully moved towards Xiao Yi, holding a jade box in her hands.

"Young Master Xiao Yi." Guu Lianxing approached Xiao Yi, offering the jade box with both hands.

The jade box gleamed with an ethereal flow, evidently an extraordinary item.

Xiao Yi glanced at it, recognizing its immense value.

It was easy to imagine the treasures within the jade box.

Just then, another graceful figure rushed from outside the hall.

However, the figure was evidently hurried, arriving quickly.

"Lianxing, Huowu." The newcomer called out, "Greetings, Mansion Master."

"Xinyue." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master nodded.

"Sister Yue." Guu Lianxing also nodded.

Indeed, the newcomer was Guu Xinyue.

"I heard from Father that Lianxing had returned, and it turns out to be true." Guu Xinyue’s face was filled with joy.

"Haha." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master chuckled, saying, "Back then, it was merely a misunderstanding in the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land, Lianxing has explained to me."

"I see." Guu Xinyue nodded, "I was anxious at the time and mistakenly blamed Young Master Xiao Yi."

Guu Xinyue looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded, but his expression was notably icy.

He would never believe it was merely a simple misunderstanding.

Through his observation, Guu Xinyue was undoubtedly deeply scheming.

However, he would not stay long at the Heavenly Star Mansion, nor did he regard someone like Guu Xinyue highly, thus he chose to ignore.

The Heavenly Star Mansion Master, noticing Xiao Yi’s expression, chuckled, "Xiao Yixiao, do not misunderstand Xinyue."

"After all, Xinyue and Lianxing are sisters, naturally concerned and anxious, leading to a temporary misunderstanding."

The Heavenly Star Mansion Master and Great Elder, being direct relatives, were cousins.

Hence, Guu Xinyue and Guu Lianxing were considered sisters.

Moreover, Guu Lianxing frequently referred to Guu Xinyue as ’Sister Yue.’

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded, choosing not to delve deeper.

"Young Master Xiao Yi." Guu Lianxing spoke, glancing at the jade box in her hands.

"For what purpose?" Xiao Yi asked indifferent.

Beside her, Guu Xinyue glanced at the jade box, her expression dramatically changing, "Heavenly Star Jade Marrow?"

Within the jade box was the Heavenly Star Jade Marrow.

The Heavenly Star Jade Marrow was an exceedingly rare cultivation item.

In terms of value, it equaled a mid-grade Holy Artifact.

"Indeed, Heavenly Star Jade Marrow," Guu Lianxing looked at Xiao Yi, smiling, "it’s Lianxing’s token of gratitude."

Xiao Yi did not accept the jade box, merely indifferently said, "A token of gratitude?"

"If Miss Lianxing does not consider me a friend, then I shall accept this token of gratitude."

With that, Xiao Yi reached out his hand to take the jade box.

Guu Lianxing, seeing Xiao Yi’s indifferent expression, hastily withdrew the box, "Young Master Xiao Yi misunderstood, Lianxing was only..."

Xiao Yi chuckled, his indifferent expression dissipating, "If you regard me as a friend, why should there be a token of gratitude for my saving you?"

"This..." Guu Lianxing hesitated.

Beside her, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master laughed heartily, "Never mind, Lianxing, Xiao Yixiao will not accept your token of gratitude."

After saying that, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master regarded Xiao Yi, "It’s hard to believe that the infamously fierce Xiao Yi is such a person."

Admiration filled the Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s eyes.

"However, even though Xiao Yixiao may not accept this token, our Heavenly Star Mansion cannot sever our gratitude."

"In the days to come, should Xiao Yixiao need anything, feel free to speak up, and whatever our Heavenly Star Mansion can do, we will not refuse."

"The Heavenly Star Mansion Master is too generous." Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Moreover, I cannot truly claim to have saved Miss Lianxing."

"Though I repaired her bloodline and Martial Soul, the conflict within her still exists."

"I merely extended her life by several years."

"Ultimately, it depends on her own fortune."

Xiao Yi spoke candidly.

The Heavenly Star Mansion Master was unconcerned, shaking his head, "A few years are sufficient."

"At least, for Lianxing, it’s enough."

The Heavenly Star Mansion Master warmly glanced at Guu Lianxing.

Guu Lianxing nodded.

Beside her, Guu Xinyue’s expression changed, "Lianxing’s bloodline and Martial Soul have been repaired?"

"Yes." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master nodded, "Xiao Yixiao truly possesses remarkable skills."

Guuu, Xiao Yi suddenly picked up the tea beside him and drank it all.

"Very well, I suppose I’ve been a guest of the Heavenly Star Mansion; Miss Lianxing has been safely returned, so I won’t linger." Xiao Yi rose, bowing slightly.

"No rush, young friend." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master raised his hand.

Xiao Yi understood the Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s intention to keep him, directly stating, "I still have matters to attend to, truly unable to stay."

"No, no." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master chuckled, "It’s not a prolonged stay, but I heard from Lianxing that you’ve been tirelessly on her behalf these days."

"Having come to the Heavenly Star Mansion, young friend, why not rest for a night and leave tomorrow?"

"Alright then." Xiao Yi nodded.

A night would hardly matter, considering it a rest.

...

Heavenly Star Mansion, at the Great Elder Mansion.

Inside the study room, only Great Elder and Guu Xinyue were present.

Guu Xinyue spoke to the Great Elder for a while.

"What?" The Great Elder slammed the table, "Guu Lianxing’s Martial Soul and bloodline have been repaired?"

"Impossible, that’s utterly impossible."

"Father, it’s true." Guu Xinyue’s expression was furious.

"That little thief even invaded the Illusion Light, Blood Light, two major cave mansions to repair her Martial Soul and bloodline."

"That’s even more impossible." The Great Elder’s tone was grave.

"The Blood Light Cave Mansion could be overlooked."

"But the Illusion Light Cave Mansion is a forbidden land of the Eighteen Mansions; let alone me, even a powerhouse like the Mansion Master would surely perish if they entered."

"That little thief cannot possibly enter, let alone absorb the thick soul power within."
