However, the terrifying pressure soon dissipated, as if everything had just been an illusion.
“Greetings, Sir Guo!” Yang Kai bowed.
“Yes, really looks alike!” Senior Brother Guo nodded repeatedly.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment and didn’t quite understand what he meant, but he soon realized he was referring to his appearance.
The reason why the Proprietress had taken good care of him back then and why Yue He had called him Young Master was because of this reason.
The Proprietress's younger brother, Lan Tingyu, had some similarities with his appearance. [Hoogs: Wait, since when he know this?]
Yang Kai was unable to change anything about his appearance. In these 3000 Worlds, there were hundreds of millions of living beings, so there were always some people who looked similar. Yang Kai didn’t feel that this was a problem for him, but instead felt a bit fortunate. If it weren’t for this, how could he have befriended someone like the Proprietress in this vast world?
“Although they are similar, they are two different people,” The Proprietress smiled lightly, “When I first saw this boy, I was also shocked.”
Senior Brother Guo nodded lightly, “After this matter is over, let this little brat come with me to see the old man. His aptitude is quite good, if the old man personally teaches him, he will definitely have great achievements in the future.”
“Old man?” The Proprietress's expression changed slightly, “Is this the old man’s idea?”
Senior Brother Guo shook his head, “The old man doesn’t know about this yet, even I only heard about it after arriving here.”
The Proprietress's expression became gloomy as she glanced at Yang Kai worriedly before slowly shaking her head, “Senior Brother Guo, this boy is not from my First Inn. If you want to bring him to see the old man, you’ll have to ask him for his opinion.”
“Not from your First Inn?” Senior Brother Guo was somewhat stunned.
Hearing this, Yang Kai was at a loss. He didn’t know who this old man they were talking about was, but for these two Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters to treat him so seriously, it was likely that he was no ordinary person.
Senior Brother Guo smiled again, “Since he is nor from your First Inn, there’s no need to ask.” Turning to Yang Kai, he asked, “Boy, are you interested in entering my Xuanyuan Cave Heaven?”
“Xuanyuan Cave Heaven!” Yang Kai was shocked.
Each of the 36 Cave Heaven and 72 Paradise had a great reputation and commanded more than one Great Domain. They were the top forces in the 3000 Worlds and each of them had a High Rank Open Heaaven master. This Xuanyuan Cave Heaven was one of them and was even ranked among the top ten of the 36 Cave Heaven.
Yang Kai had long guessed that this Senior Brother Guo’s background was not simple, and it was highly likely that he came from one of the 36 Cave Heaven or one of the 72 Paradise, but now he knew that he came from the Xuanyuan Cave Heaven.
In other words, the force behind the First Inn was also Xuanyuan Cave Heaven? Otherwise, how could the Proprietress and Senior Brother Guo address each other as Senior Brother and Junior Brother?
Senior Brother Guo said, “Asura Heaven’s Yu Luocha’s aptitude is quite good. The fact that you were able to defeat her in a single blow means that you are even more outstanding. With such aptitude, you should be able to join Xuanyuan Cave Heaven. What do you think? If you want to, you can come with me to the Xuanyuan Cave Heaven.”
Yang Kai was dumbfounded.
If he had just arrived in this 3000 Worlds and a Cave Heaven had tried to rope him in, he might not let it go. After all, it was easy to live under a big tree. With a colossus like the Xuanyuan Cave Heaven backing him, his future would be bright, and he wouldn’t even need to worry about his own cultivation resources. If he wanted something, he could just ask his elders and they would naturally satisfy him.
But the current him was no longer the same as when he had first arrived the Outer Universe.
He was now in control of the Void Land and more than six hundred thousand people had followed him here. If he left, what would happen to the Void Land? Moreover, if he really entered Xuanyuan Cave Heaven, the High Rank Open Heaven path would likely be cut off.
The Proprietress had also said that only those disciples who had grown up in the various Xuanyuan Cave Heaven had the qualifications to reach the High Rank Open Heaven without being suppressed.
Because those Cave Heaven Paradise didn’t need to worry about their loyalty!
But if it was anyone else, who would dare to allow a High Rank Open Heaven to be born? If it was a Ninth Rank Open Heaven, who could suppress it?
Especially for a disciple like Yang Kai who had joined halfway, no one could guarantee his loyalty.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai faintly realized that he had exposed his identity in the Asura Arena and had probably attracted the attention of many people. This Senior Brother Guo was just one of them.
He had an old friendship with the Proprietress, so he had taken the initiative to win him over.
If he really agreed to join the Xuanyuan Cave Heaven, he would only be able to reach the Sixth Order at most, and definitely not the Seventh Order!
Turning his head, he saw the Proprietress looking at him anxiously.
Yang Kai made up his mind and carefully said, “Many thanks for Sir Guo’s favor, but this little brat has too many worries in his heart and has no choice but to refuse Sir Guo’s kind intentions.”
Hearing this, Senior Brother Guo’s expression became angry and his dignified eyes suddenly became a bottomless abyss, as if he wanted to drag Yang Kai’s soul into it!
This Senior Brother Guo actually went on a rampage at the slightest disagreement, truly temperamental.
Yang Kai’s body trembled violently as he felt his Dao Seal and Soul tremble violently, his eyes flashing as he clenched his teeth and shouted, “Is Sir Guo trying to silence me?”
Originally, he had hoped to stir up a ruckus and attract the attention of others so that this Senior Brother Guo wouldn’t act rashly. After all, this was the territory of the Red Clouds Auction, so he couldn’t do whatever he wanted here. However, the sound of his lips opening and closing didn’t spread out at all, making him look like a golden fish on the shore.
“Senior Brother Guo!” The Proprietress called out.
The terrifying pressure suddenly disappeared and the force pulling his Soul and Dao Seal also disappeared. Yang Kai came back to his senses and saw Senior Brother Guo looking at him with a smile, as if what he had just experienced was just an illusion.
He broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that it wasn’t all an illusion.
“Their appearances and personalities are similar, so don’t take the same path,” Senior Brother Guo said meaningfully, “Otherwise, I’m afraid the result won’t be much different. Junior Sister Lan, you don’t want history to repeat itself, right?”
The Proprietress's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water, “Senior Brother Guo just needs to take care of himself, I’ll handle this little brat’s matters.”
“If that’s the case, then that’s for the best,” Senior Brother Guo nodded, “Back then, the old man spent a lot of effort trying to settle your problem, you don’t want to trouble him anymore, right?”
Changing the topic, he stroked his chin and said, “Speaking of the old man, I do remember something. When the old man brought back the Golden Crow’s corpse, he said that the Golden Crow’s corpse had lost most of its essence. Now that I think about it, I’m afraid this little brat was behind all of this.”
Only now did Yang Kai understand who this old man in their mouth was.
In the past, the Golden Crow’s corpse had fallen into the hands of the owner behind the First Inn, who was an old man named Situ Kong.
Before handing over the Golden Crow’s corpse, Yang Kai had absorbed a lot of Golden Crow True Fire to condense his own Fire Element. He had thought that he would be able to do so without anyone noticing, but who would have thought that he would still be exposed.
From this, it could be seen that Situ Kong was a member of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven, and the First Inn was indeed backed by a colossus called Xuanyuan Cave Heaven.
The Proprietress said firmly, “Don’t speak nonsense, Senior Brother Guo.”
Senior Brother Guo sneered, “I’m just casually mentioning it, what is Junior Sister Lan so nervous about? Even if it was true, that old man didn’t see through it immediately back then, so how could he possibly want to find trouble with this little brat? That old man’s face is old, what he cares about is face, he won’t slap his own face.” Senior Brother Guo’s expression became cold and his tone became serious, “This matter has no evidence, but is it true that Junior Sister Lan has some dealing with the Gold Rainbow Province and Boundless Alter. Could you say something for your Senior Brother?”
The Proprietress said lightly, “Junior Sister doesn’t understand what Senior Brother Guo is saying.”
Senior Brother Guo turned his head to look at her, “Enough! These two families have a grudge with you to begin with. Back then, it was only because of the old man and the various forces interference that the storm subsided, and now you’ve caused such a big ruckus, do you really think you can hide it? You killed that Yun Zhenhua from Wind and Cloud Paradise, if it weren’t for the old man interfering, do you think you could still be here safely?”
The Proprietress looked over, “Senior Brother, what do you know?”
Senior Brother Guo said, “It’s true that Yun Zhenhua provoked you first, but you shouldn’t have killed him. After all, he is from Wind and Cloud Paradise. If you kill him, the old man will have to clean up the mess for you.”
The Proprietress said angrily, “Do you think I can’t fight back when they are allowed to? What kind of logic is that?”
Senior Brother Guo said, “With your Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage strength, isn’t it easy for you to escape?”
“Why should I run? If they dare to provoke this old lady, this old lady will chop off their dog heads. If one comes, I’ll kill one, if two come, I’ll kill two. I want to see who dares to provoke me in these 3000 Worlds!” The Proprietress snorted.
Senior Brother Guo slowly shook his head, “Don’t stir up any more trouble, just focus on running your First Inn.”
The Proprietress stared at him, “Is this the old man’s idea?”
Senior Brother Guo said, “It is my idea.”
“Who do you think you are?” The Proprietress looked at him disdainfully.
Senior Brother Guo sighed, “The old man is already old, how long do you think he can protect you? When he dies, your old enemies and new enemies will all rush up to you, what will you do? Forget about your enemies, even inside the Cave Heaven, there are people who don’t like you.”
“Let them come, i’ll settle the scores with them!” The Proprietress gnashed her teeth, “Damn it, that old man has lived for so long, why isn’t he dead yet?”
Senior Brother Guo’s jaw dropped and he was speechless for a long time before saying angrily, “Brainless woman!”
Turning to the tall young girl beside him, he said, “Remember your Martial Aunt Lan’s face, in the future, don’t be like her, unable to marry! You see, even now, no one dares to take her, this is the truth.”
The young girl chuckled.
The Proprietress glared at him fiercely.
Senior Brother Guo turned a blind eye to this and pointed at Yang Kai, “Remember this person’s appearance, don’t make an enemy of him. If you encounter any danger, ask him to save you.”
The young girl nodded obediently and stared at Yang Kai with her beautiful eyes for a moment before gently saying, “I’ll remember.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai was stunned, not knowing what this Senior Brother Guo was trying to say. This young girl was obviously an elite disciple of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven, so what kind of danger would she be in for him to save her?
