Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1634

Upon hearing this, Gu Shouzhou was somewhat surprised and asked, "Did your old friend come from the chaotic and turbid world?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "No, it's an old friend I met on the other side. He used to live in a remote town, so he escaped the misfortune. Now he has come to find me."

Of course, she wouldn't reveal Li Lan's identity.

“I see. However, there is no longer any inheritance on Tian Shi Peak. This young friend should go to Zu Ling Peak, Tai Ye Peak, and Sheng Xian Peak. Coming here will only delay him.”

Gu Shouzhou shook his head regretfully and said, "Is this young friend's aptitude lacking? But that doesn't matter. The Heavenly Emperor has done us a great favor. Since he is your old friend, you should naturally receive his blessings. I will write a letter recommending this young friend. In that case, the three peak masters should accept him..."

He was very sincere and genuinely had Li Lan's best interests at heart.

"I have come here because I am drawn to Tianshi Peak, but I have no intention of going to any other peaks."

Li Lan had already spoken.

Gu Shouzhou was surprised and said, "This peak has no scriptures, so why be so attached to it?"

"The absence of scriptures is the presence of scriptures, and the presence of scriptures is precisely the absence of scriptures. A place without scriptures may actually be a place of opportunity, who knows?"

Li Lan smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shouzhou couldn't help but show a strange expression again, and he gave Li Lan a deep look.

"The absence of scriptures is the presence of scriptures, and the presence of scriptures is the absence of scriptures... This statement makes sense, it makes sense! I have sat here for countless years, yet I have not been able to see through this profound meaning!"

He seemed to understand something, and for a moment, he appeared to be deep in thought, remaining silent for a long time. It wasn't until Shangguan Xiaoxiao coughed softly that he suddenly snapped out of it, slapped his forehead, and laughed:

"I'm getting old and senile. Our distinguished guest is still here, and I'm being so rude."

"This young friend is exceptionally insightful and enlightening. He must be a person of firm mind and his own path. Since you are willing to stay on Tian Shi Peak, then stay. If you need anything, just tell others that you are a disciple of Tian Shi Peak."

"However, let's skip the master-disciple relationship. If we need to conceal our relationship from the outside world, we can address each other as master and disciple, but in reality, we are equals. How about that?"

Gu Shouzhou showed no airs of a superior and smiled slightly.

Li Lan was slightly taken aback, but then she understood. If Gu Shouzhuo were the kind of person who was so concerned with titles and seniority, how could he have willingly stayed on Tianshi Peak for thousands of years in solitude?

This person was quite sincere, so there was no need for beating around the bush. Li Lan replied frankly, "Alright, in that case, thank you very much, senior—"

"No one has visited this Heavenly Beginning Peak for countless years. I am delighted by your arrival today, young friend!"

As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and the cranes beside him were killed and cleaned up in the pool. Then he lit a fire and roasted them over a fire, saying:

"I'll use this mountain spring water as wine and the creatures of the mountains as my food, hahaha!"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior, these white cranes built their nests for you and guard them. Don't you think it's a bit cruel to just kill them and eat their flesh?"

Gu Shouzhou was even happier and said, "The successor of the Heavenly Emperor is trying to test me? Cause and effect are endless, and creation is infinite. The white crane is born to die and dies to live. The space between life and death is creation. When I eat meat, it is my death. When the white crane enters my belly, it is the white crane's life. How can this be considered cruel?"

He seemed to have long since become indifferent to life and death.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao also smiled. She hadn't really been fixated on the idea of ​​cruelty or compassion, but seeing Gu Shouzhuo's fluent and frank answers, she couldn't help but admire him.

“This Peak Master Gu Shouzhuo is far underestimated. Even though he has not yet experienced anything today and his strength is lower than that of the other peak masters, he will surely soar to great heights one day.”

She couldn't help but sigh softly.

Li Lan smiled, picked up a crane leg and handed it to her, saying, "Here, have a chicken leg."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "It's a crane, not some chicken or duck. Besides, Senior Gu invited me, not you."
