What does that have to do with the Yang Family?
By chance, he bumped into Zhuang Zhi Xian. I say it’s a coincidence; when he was not fully aware of the situation, he happened to receive exactly what he needed right at his legs. Could Heaven compensate him for that?
I was not finished yet. I don’t deny it; I quickly continued speaking.
Liu Lao Jiu was somewhat anxious. If he had sensed a slight difference in Gu during their previous meeting, now he could clearly feel what was different about Gu.
Previously, Gu seemed like a small light wrapped in darkness, searching for hope amidst despair. Now, Gu had merged with despair but was still pursuing the light. Who could say which of the two was right or wrong?
This made Liu Lao Jiu feel anxious; such a Gu felt very unfamiliar to him, stirring a sense of unease within him. He wasn’t quite sure what the difference between the two was, but he chose to help Gu and would never abandon that decision halfway. Moreover, he had already seen how Coco had been treated by those cultivators, equating her with Gu.
Zhuang Zhi Xian brought some matters from among the cultivators. The pursuit of light had become a chaotic affair, with the Heavenly Five Great Gates launching relentless attacks. Everyone in Tiandong knew that the light was seeking to be extinguished, so there was no faction worth trusting anymore.
Thus, I needed strength—enough strength to sit at the negotiating table with the light. I wanted to ask the Yang Family for help, but on what basis?
Yang Yan's mind worked quickly; unlike Liu Lao Jiu, who took a long time to grasp what was happening, Yang Yan understood Gu's situation just from listening to his analysis.
In simple terms, the Five Great Gates wanted to eradicate the light from this world. The Light Canon within Gu was like a spark spreading forth. The current Five Great Gates sought total annihilation, cutting down everything at its roots. Therefore, Gu could only seek refuge under the light.
But if the light itself was in danger and could do anything desperate, it wouldn’t be trustworthy. That meant Gu You needed some means of self-preservation to avoid being silenced.
So we returned to Yong Tuo's initial question: Gu was an ordinary person without any cultivation and could easily be manipulated. If someone were to encounter him and kill him on sight, then he would lose any chance of negotiating with the light and would become a target himself.
I think the Yang Family can be compared to those Gate Leg sects, can't they?
Yang Yan inhaled sharply and shook her head. While she knew that the Yang Family had some cultivators, she did not believe that an imperial family from the Dust Realm would have the qualifications to stand alongside the Heavenly Gate. Moreover, to think they could rival the Five Great Gates was simply overestimating themselves.
No, the Yang Family did not possess such power, nor did she believe anyone else did. Perhaps even Putian Dong had no sect or faction with such strength. Therefore, she sought something useful for herself, or at least something that wouldn’t make her feel like she was facing a hellish defense mechanism upon their first meeting.
I believe the Yang Family might have it, but even if they do, what right do they have to give it to me?
By coincidence, she encountered Xiang Zuo from the Former Great Jin Empire. He spoke of various people and events. Initially, she didn’t notice anything unusual, but when Zhuang Zhixian shared details about the relationships between those sects, she began to feel that something was amiss.
What could an outsider provide me?
Yang Yan shook her head; she didn’t think an outsider would know things she was unaware of, especially someone as petty as Zhuang Zhixian.
He shared many anecdotes about those cultivators, one of which was particularly interesting: the Jade Void Sect was outside of Great Jin. Many disciples from the Yang Family had joined the Jade Void Sect. However, when traveling outside, why did they never identify themselves as disciples of Feiyuxuzong? Instead, they referred to themselves as descendants of the Great Jin Yang Family. Does she know why?
Yang Yan fell silent. Although she had heard some tales about matters among cultivators, most were mere folk legends. She never took them seriously or considered them more than stories to laugh at and move on from. The things he spoke of were unfamiliar to her and beyond her experience.
She had been in Great Jin’s territory for two months now. Almost all citizens of Great Jin carried a sense of pride; whenever they mentioned being from Great Jin, they unconsciously stood taller and felt proud. The disciples from her Yang Family who traveled abroad thought similarly. The name "Great Jin Yang Family" brought them pride and a sense of honor, which is why they would not claim to be disciples of Feiyuxuzong but rather descendants of the Great Jin Yang Family.
But what about them, the Yang Family?
Having spoken her thoughts aloud, Yang Yan refrained from saying more. Her flushed expression hinted at her desire to express something further; it was evident that being part of the Great Jin Yang Family meant more than just being a mundane royal family—it also signified being part of a lineage with a connection to cultivation. That held significant value for her aspirations.
Now there is only one question left: what right does the royal family have to seek the risks of Coal Blaze Da Bu Wei to help Gu? Is the initial problem that Gu is facing also the most difficult one to solve?
