When Su Zhenqian attacked Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan unleashed that bone white flame. Only then did Liu Shen suddenly wake up, why did he have this kind of familiar feeling when he saw Xuan Lao previously, when he showed off to Gu Xuan that day, why was Gu Xuan's expression so weird. Liu Shen's face was extremely strange now.

The aura of this flame was exactly the same as the aura of the "Black Elder" from that day. Other possibilities were similar, but the aura of the flame was definitely not the same. It was much more distinguishable than one's appearance.

Gu Xuan was Xuan Lao, and the perfect opportunity that he had was only Gu Xuan toying with him.

Since that was the case, then the so-called high level alchemists were all fake, and were purely Gu Xuan's methods.

"Then tell me, how did Gu Xuan bully you?" Marquis Zhanshan sullenly said.

Liu Shen was furious but he could not say a thing. Could it be that Gu Xuan had deceived him, disguised as a high level alchemist, to carry the tea away while showing off proudly to Gu Xuan?

She had thought that she had obtained such a great opportunity, but in the end, she realized that it was just a joke.

Gu Xuan's face also revealed a teasing expression. From Liu Shen's reaction, he knew that the latter had already discovered the matter of "Xuan Lao", but so what? From start to finish, it was Liu Shen who had asked for it.

As for his own identity, it was not fake at all. With his methods, he was worthy of his previous performance, it was just that Liu Shen was not willing to believe it.

"The marquis has already let you speak, so you can speak. Just how did I bully you?" Gu Xuan looked at Liu Shen, and summoned his Ice Soul Cold Flame. Under Gu Xuan's control, tiny flames continuously danced and leaped from his fingers.

Liu Shen's expression sank and a berserk killing intent appeared in his eyes. Under his rage, the Strength of Fire activated on its own and formed a thick layer of blood mist around his body. The surrounding Elemental Energy of Heaven And Earth also became chaotic because of Liu Shen's aura.

"Liu Shen, you're not even going to listen to my words?" Marquis Zhanshan frowned, and said indifferently. Although the voice was plain, there was still an unquestionable coldness in it.

As a duke of a region, he'd actually been continuously ignored by a junior, making him a bit angry.

"Humph!" Liu Shen let out a cold snort, glanced at the Marquis Zhanshan, and scattered the Strength of Fire on his body, "I will still abide by Master Hou's promise, but when the time comes for the Academy's assessment, I will definitely fight Gu Xuan!"

"I'll let you be arrogant for a few more days!" Liu Shen glanced at Gu Xuan, his face dark, and immediately turned and left.

The corner of Marquis Zhanshan's mouth twitched, and his face revealed a gloomy expression. This Liu Shen had an extraordinary talent, to the point of not giving him face.

Looking at Liu Shen's leaving figure, Gu Xuan smiled lightly, and then his gaze landed on Marquis Zhanshan. Looking at the latter enduring his anger, Gu Xuan's face revealed a weird expression: "This Liu Shen, could it be that he's not the Marquis' disciple?"

"No."

"The Marquis Zhanshan shook his head with a bitter smile," Liu Shen cultivated on his own. I let him participate in the recruitment of students for the academy with his status of Marquis Mansion, count it as the agreement between him and I, and as long as he can get a good rank, I'm willing to reward him with a hundred thousand gold. I still need him to fight for the honor of the county city, so I wouldn't dare to pressure him too much. "

Gu Xuan suddenly nodded his head, he understood what the Marquis Zhanshan was thinking. Although the Marquis Zhanshan was the Sovereign Level Expert, with Liu Shen's outstanding talent, stepping into the Sovereign Level was only a matter of time, and there was a possibility that she would pressure him in the near future. In reality, the two of them were talking on equal footing.

After all, it was very common for the experts on the continent to provoke geniuses, and in a few years, the strong or the weak would be reversed, and their sects would be exterminated.

Liu Shen was now a Five Stars Profound Level, and his aptitude was far stronger than this so-called genius, Su Huatian. In the future, stepping into the Sovereign Level was something certain.

"Mm …"

Gu Xuan slightly muttered to himself, then looked towards the Marquis Zhanshan and said with a smile: "If I can beat Liu Shen in the Imperial Institution's exam, I wonder what rewards the Marquis will give me?"

Marquis Zhanshan was startled, then his eyes revealed a passionate look: "Is that true?"

"I'll do my best." Gu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittally. After all, the gap between him and Liu Shen now was not small.

"If you can surpass Liu Shen in the Imperial Institution's recruitment, I'm willing to reward you with two hundred thousand gold coins!" Marquis Zhanshan thought for a moment, then said.

Liu Shen was only a hundred thousand gold coins, but he had two hundred thousand gold coins. This could be understood as a bias towards the Marquis Zhanshan's feelings, and from a different perspective, it also meant that in the eyes of the Marquis Zhanshan, the difficulty of the results he had obtained was two times greater than Liu Shen.

"I don't want the two hundred thousand gold coins anymore. When that time comes, I hope the Marquis will give me a chance to go to the Blood Deity'S Lake." Gu Xuan said.

"Alright!" The Marquis Zhanshan did not hesitate to agree. Although Blood Deity'S Lake cultivation opportunities were precious, to him, it was only the loss of some spirit medicine money.

Gu Xuan bowed towards the Marquis Zhanshan, then walked towards the direction of his father and the Second Grandpa.

Zhou Mei realized that Marquis Zhanshan had not mentioned anything about her request. Her beautiful face revealed a blaming look, she stomped her feet: "Father!"

Marquis Zhanshan turned his head and looked at his daughter, who was being overly pampered.

When her father revealed this expression, he wanted to discuss some serious matters with her. No matter how much the latter pampered her, under these circumstances, if she did not behave well, she would be mercilessly reprimanded.

"Mei'er, I know that you like Gu Xuan, but I want to tell you this: Gu Xuan is definitely not a character that I want to capture as soon as I propose marriage. The elders of the Gu Family all have Gu Xuan as their core, and it is even more so impossible for them to pressure Gu Xuan just to curry my favor. "This person's future is extraordinary. If you want to obtain him, you can only rely on yourself to gain his approval. There's no other way."

Marquis Zhanshan said slowly with a serious expression.

"Oh." Zhou Mei answered, but her heart was unable to calm down. This was the first time her father had evaluated someone with such an attitude.

Furthermore, according to what his father had said, the elders of the Gu Family actually treated Gu Xuan as their core. This was simply an inconceivable matter.

Whether it was Gu Tianmo or Gu Sen, both of them had displayed strength that was not inferior to Peak Profound Level. It was reasonable to focus on nurturing Gu Xuan, but to let these two people, with Gu Xuan, the junior as the core, how terrifying exactly was Gu Xuan?
